Nitrogen cycle (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite pending changes: Semi-Protection may also be a good idea. Persistent IP vandalism – I just reverted back about 8 versions with it seems no legitimate edits lost except perhaps one which was unsourced and appeared, with my scientific background, to be patently wrong. Overall in the last 50 edits 20 of them are reversions, and the rest it seems are vandalism. It may be that this page is constantly targeted due to its relevance to schoolchildren. Anon423 (talk) 22:41, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Big Nate (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: There has been a relatively high amount of IP vandalism, somewhat surrounding Diary of A Wimpy Kid to an extent. I think that some of this is spilloff from the DoaWK series article getting temporary SP, but overall the article has a history of IP editing that is either outright vandalism or extremely unhelpful. A temporary SP would help deter it, as it seems like it gets more vandalism whenever a new DoaWK book comes out. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 18:35, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lavasa (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated attempts to remove properly sourced controversies, and add promotional material. The article sees regular and frequent attempts by IPs and newly created throw-away accounts to whitewash it, so semi-protection for a year or so would IMHO be warranted.

Pending changes: David Gerard is no longer an admin... well, let's not get into that. This page was barely edited by IPs before protection. There were one unconfirmed and two IPs causing trouble. However, the page didn't have a history of protection until indef. semi-protection. The prior edits should have been on grounds for PC. George Ho (talk) 07:29, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@David Gerard: your opinion on whether to apply PC or giving the semi an expiry date? (As an aside, he is an admin, just restricted in the use of the tools). Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:40, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am an admin ... but I expect this subject's IP stalkers to return as soon as they are able. But PC would do the job as well as semi, I suppose.

Despite being asked several times to follow WP:BRD they have continued to revert the content, and are starting to make personal attacks in edit summaries.

Next Greek legislative election (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection: There have been a series of IP edits over the last few months changing the political party Golden Dawn's political adjective from neo-nazi to something else (sometimes nationalist, sometimes ultranationalist, and maybe a few others.) Although the IP address changes, I feel fairly confident most of them are the same person.

There's really nothing to say here. They've only responded once, calling neo-nazi a "political propaganda term."

The Next Greek legislative election article isn't even the place to dispute something like this in the first place, it just reflects the party's article. The IP has been reverted by multiple people and directed to the Golden Dawn page several times. Since they've been doing it over the course of several months, I think its finally time to ask for semi-protection. --4idaho (talk) 13:27, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bukharan Jews (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotect Due to an edit-warring SPA IP that refused to engage on the Talk page or provide sources, this page was unduly placed under indefinite (instead of temporary) full protection.

I had been in the process of launching a complaint against the IP at AN/I after placing a tacit warning about edit warring on the IP's Talk page when protection was implemented. The IP has been warned by an uninvolved editor User_talk:24.12.209.241. The result of the AN/I was the following thread at RS/N[8]. As can be seen from the RS/ thread, the edits by the IP amount to WP:OR, and do not meet the requirements of WP:V.--Ubikwit^連絡_{見学/迷惑} 06:48, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

At the time I requested protection, the article was still in the state I left it when I self-reverted. Your continuing pattern of personal attacks and accusations of bad faith, not to mention your edit-warring, are a big part of why this article needs full protection. MilesMoney (talk) 07:24, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attack? Moi? Oh, no no, not at all. I merely pointed out the innocent mistake you made when you said "Immediately before requesting page protection, I reverted myself." I was trying to be helpful, because I'm quite sure that you wouldn't want to be seen requesting administrator action under false pretenses. Right? Roccodrift (talk) 07:31, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your WP:BATTLEGROUND mentality, particularly your nasty sarcasm and refusal to WP:AGF, are deeply counterproductive. They're also irrelevant to your attempt to keep the article unlocked so that you can continue to edit war over it. I say we lock it down to force people like you to talk instead of fight.

Declined If I'd seen this while there were heaps of edits being reverted (12 hours ago) I would have been inclined to semi for a day.

Marc Almond (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Pending changes protection: One registered user "Zebzander" has made more than 40 edits on the page, repeatedly inserting unsourced "fan site" content into the article. The unsourced content often contains poorly worded English. He or she was asked on their talk page in 2011 not to edit in violation of WP:CRUFT, WP:FANSITE, WP:MOS, WP:BLP. Despite that request, "Zebzander" has continued to put unsourced content into the article, in violation of Wikipedia guidelines. This is becoming a BLP issue because of the persistent addition of unsourced content. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 02:07, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit - Apologies, I've just realised that "Pending changes protection" only reviews unregistered and new user's edits. So this may not apply in the case of the registered user Zebzander.

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. This seems to undergo a lot of the vandalism that Diary of a Wimpy Kid (series) received and I think that some of the recent vandalism is spillover from those who were vandalizing that entry before its TSP.

Pending-changes protected hesitantly and conditionally. Hasn't received less then around 200 views a day and has received more then 900 a day for the last 5 days. So I suspect we will have a high edit rate. Nothing on the talk page (apart from 1 request 7 months ago) suggests that there are non-autoconfirmed users who have useful contributions to make. But, because this was something I used to request a bunch as a non-admin, I'm going to drop it down to PC, but I will (and anyone else is encouraged to) semi-protect it again if there is much (close to any) vandalism or any other disruption.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. There is no sign of "vandalism" or "trolling" on the page. There is certainly an edit war, but if any action is to be taken about that, it must be symmetrical, affecting both participants equally. Semi-protection would have the effect of favouring one participant (the one who submittted this report) over the other, as one is an autoconfirmed account and the other is an IP-editor.

Done With all due respect to Callanecc, I cannot see what could be done at AIV other than page protection. When a large number of unrelated IP addresses make vandalism edits to one article, most of them each making only one edit, blocking individual IP addresses is futile, and page protection is the only way of stopping the problem. This is particualarly so in a case such as this one, where the vandalism has continued over and over again over a period of many years, returning after each time the article is protected for a short period.

Phil Mickelson (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Pending changes protection: It's notable that articles on golfers don't often get targeted by vandalism. Golf is perceived by many people to be a "gentlemanly" game and a sport that has a certain etiquette and values of decency and respect. So perhaps instinctively, people who enjoy reading about golf are not generally the type of people who like to engage in petty and disruptive forms of vandalism. However, it's been disappointing to me to see how the article on Phil Mickelson has been disrupted on a number of occasions this year by anonymous IP users. There have been three recent acts of vandalism earlier this month in December.

A look at the history of the article confirms that earlier this year vandalism happened sporadically at irregular intervals. For example, one act of vandalism in March, three acts in April, three times in May, twice in June (section blanking and changing height/weight). Perhaps as one of the most prominent golfers in the world (along with Tiger Woods whose article is protected) this has attracted some vandals to Phil Mickelson. People who might not be fans of the sport are nevertheless aware of Mickelson's high-profile as one of the leading golfers in the world. All of the vandalism that I have seen this year has come from anonymous IP users, not any registered users. So having "Pending changes protection" would in my view be ideal for protecting the BLP issues in this article. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 01:28, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I only see one recent disruptive IP on this page, blocking it would be a better solution (if needed at all). Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 04:51, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Only one IP and the page hasn't been edited for a week. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:55, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm surprised this has been declined, since there have been at least 12 acts of vandalism that I've noticed in the last 10 months since March. But perhaps 12 acts of vandalism in 10 months doesn't qualify as persistent vandalism. Given that "Pending change protection" doesn't block any helpful edits from anonymous IP users, and only reviews them to ensure vandalism has not been committed, I would have thought this type of protection would have been a helpful solution to the BLP issues. Any ideas as to how many further acts of vandalism there needs to be before I can report it again? Obviously more than 12 in 10 months.

Temporary full-protection: Persistent edit-waring. Lets lock this up and force the 2 editors involved to just talk it out over talking and edit waring for all to see ..perhaps they should ask for more input by others. Both editors involved (User:Victor falk and User:Srnec) should receive a stern warning about edit-waring from an administrator over this in my opinion. -- Moxy (talk) 22:13, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think me and Srnec have been making progress towards a better understanding of each other's positions, and I believe that we will be able to reach an agreement. If things were to stalemate, my intention was to take this to wp:3O, but we are not there yet. All reverts were at minimum one day interval, as part of wp:brd. If others editors want to get involved, they are more than welcome to do so on the talk page, instead of disrupting the process by locking in the m:wrong version. ^walk victor falk^talk 22:34, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is not edit warring. Discussion has been ongoing and civil throughout. I agree with Victor: if other editor's want to enter the discussion, what prohibits them? Moxy left a comment that we both responded to, but he never followed up. If he has opinions on the questions raised (Denmark, the Italies, Ethiopia, Cuba, dates, numbers), we'd like to hear them. Srnec (talk) 00:16, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Enrique Gil (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Article about a young male Philippine "actor, model, dancer" that is being treated as a fanblog by his apparently numerous fans, fans who repeatedly add tons of totally unsourced fancruft to it. Semi-protection for as long as possible is requested since most additions are made by IPs. The AFAIK only autoconfirmed user account that regularly adds unsourced material to the article has been given a final warning (after receiving multiple both templated and hand-crafted warnings before that), and thus will not be a problem for long if he/she continues. There are dozens of similar articles about Philippine entertainers, models and whatever, some of them of dubious notability, that are also being treated as fanblogs, and need to be dealt with. Some of those articles have recently been semi-protected, and a few list articles with fancruft have been deleted, and the more of them that get protected, preventing addition of new material by IPs, the easier it will be to take care of the articles that remain.

Indefinite semi-protection: Vandalism from people on my user page. Would only like it so it prevents users from vandalism on my page from unregistered accounts and random IPs since that is common because I'm still on a college campus.

Wikipedia:Teahouse (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite template protection: Highly visible template – This is bold, I realize, but even semi protection has not stopped all the vandalism to this page, and there is no reason for anyone to edit it. The talk page can be used to request edits. Jinkinson talk to me What did he do now? 02:09, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is enough there to warrant protection. Though if we did it would need to be full protection because template protection can only be used on pages outside template/module space when they "become transcluded to a very high degree" (WP:TEMP-P).
