Unprotection: Not sure why HJ Mitchell protected this in the first place, but I see no reason for this redirect to an unprotected page which had no intermittent issues between being converted to a redirect and protection still needs any protection. Thanks. Since I see by the contribution history that HJ Mitchell (talk · contribs) is very active on responding to these requests, I won't bother annoying them with a duplicate post on their talk page. ;) Thanks. — {{U|Technical 13}} (t • e • c) 17:05, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotected. There were some serious problems a few years ago with redirects to HTTP 404, so I protected them all en masse. This wasn't one of them, so I'll unprotect it, but I'm curious what prompted this request. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:58, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Request to reduce protection level on Bolsheviks back to semi:

I originally requested this page be protected, but the protection came too late before one of the two problematic editors readded material that had been tagged as unsourced since 2011 and 2012.

Nonetheless, it seems that at least the other of those two editors is willing to have a good faith discussion about the issue on the talk page, so I request that the article protection be changed from full back to semi so that sources can be added, and for my part I will refrain from reverting as this dialogue process plays out.

(I made a version of this request a couple of days ago on the protecting admin's talk page, but he has not been active since then). --El Chivo 2 (talk) 20:47, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – The full protection has only five days still to run. Why not try to reach an agreement on the talk page about the disputed passage. If you get agreement, the protection can be lifted. EdJohnston (talk) 21:06, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Temporary full protection: The family and friends of the article subject are trying to manipulate history and are claiming things that cited obituaries in The New York Times, the New York Post and Newsday simply do not say. At least one has registered as an WP:SPA, and over the course of days this seems to have become a campaign for them. No obituary gives a cause of death, and neither does the article. Family and friends have a campaign to blame it on a flu shot, which is fringe science and not stated in any of the highly WP:RS sources mentioned here.

A contributing reason: The family and friends have recruited a blogger who urges his readers, "Let's Correct Wikipedia on Something!" — even though, as Talk:Al Plastino shows, the blogger himself is factually incorrect. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:27, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined The edits in question involve only one individual IP at a time. It would be much more practical to just block it. Mike V • Talk 20:42, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Mike V: The IP user has been doing it since August, and considering some user summaries' the IP is a banned user. Considering this revert of my previous unexistant revert, the user is just trolling and there should be no reason to let him continue trolling, at least that page. © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 21:07, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
When I approach RFPP, I look at the situation and see what technical options would resolve the issue while producing the least amount of collateral damage as possible. In this case, the individual has been editing a variety of pages multiple times and (to my knowledge) has been restricting his or her editing to just one IP at a time. From my perspective, it would be much better to block an individual IP than semi-protect 10+ pages. If we keep semi-protecting articles, the user will likely just keep jumping around to different articles until he or she gets bored. Mike V • Talk 22:34, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Since the previous protection template was lifted on 28 December 2013 (due to previous persistent vandalism) in just over two months since 28 December 2013, I have counted up at least 25 acts of vandalism on the viewing history of the page. This, in my view, is clearly too many instances of persistent vandalism in the past couple of months. Hazard, as a very high-profile footballer (currently rated by his manager José Mourinho as the best young footballer in the world) will undoubtedly continue to be the target of vandalism on the Wikipedia page unless another protection template is put in place.

This isn't the venue to solve content disputes. I'd suggest going to the talk page of the respective article if you believe that the IP's are right. As for these IP edits, they're nothing less than blanking of reliably sourced content and material without any sort of consideration towards the ongoing discussion at the talk page of the corresponding article. In addition to this, they are willing to edit-war over the content causing further disruption. Hence, this is nothing more than IP vandalism and should be treated as such.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Abce2 (talk) 19:17, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would someone consider semi-protecting this indefinitely? It's a featured article, but there's a steady stream of unhelpful IP editing, including vandalism, because it's taught in schools. It's not a huge amount but it's regular. It's mostly people changing quotes and the way names are written, because there's more than one translation. Sometimes it's vandalism, such as today [18] and yesterday [19] (apparently the same person, and he's threatening to continue).

The last time I requested semi-protection, in January 2011, Casliber protected it indefinitely, but had an edit conflict with KrakatoaKatie, so it became a six-month protection instead. If anyone would consider restoring the indefinite, or adding a long-term protection, that would be very helpful. SlimVirgin (talk) 19:23, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's why the request was for temporary protection. What a stupid decision. If you're so keen on leaving it unprotected, why don't YOU monitor the article yourself and undo all the vandalism instead of expecting everyone else to? Richard75 (talk) 16:13, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We have a stream on vandalism all day. Semi-protection is to avoid having to undo such edits every five minutes. Protect it just for today and tomorrow. That should be enough. Anna (talk) 16:24, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection for one week. There has been a spate of "death entries" on the page with no news on web to support his death. Most of the edits were IPs; one registered user joined in.--Jim in GeorgiaContribsTalk 16:40, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I understand, but something smells about this event. The Philadelphia ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC affiliate web pages are silent about this. I asked for verification on the NBC affiliate's FB page (yeah, social media) and got no answer. Guarnere's webpage contains only the notice -- no history of his accomplishments. This is not the first time his death has been reported (see July 2013). Please keep this in the pending list for now. Thanks.--Jim in GeorgiaContribsTalk 18:23, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is frustrating because WikiProject Television only considers a source ended if an official cancellation has been announced, which is rare for animated series. So the fans are sure the series has ended, and that's likely true, but the rules prevent the inclusion of this information without a source, and folks like me are stuck trying to defend the rules from the frequent submission of these end dates by passersby.

Template:Non-free use rationale logo (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Template-protection: I am working to clean up the {{error}}s that this template is transcluding. Over 1,500 pages in file namespace are transcluding errors. I've been using AutoWikiBrowser to work through these, but see template talk:Non-free use rationale logo for discussion of the issues that make the rest more difficult. I have a new version in the Template:Non-free use rationale logo/sandbox which I've verified with Template:Non-free use rationale logo/testcases. I have created three new maintenance categories for AWB to latch onto for easier fixing of more specific error types, which I'll leave as red-links for now. Perhaps once cleaned up, consolidating these into a single maintenance cat will make more sense. So this update may be temporary, which is why I'm asking for lowered protection so that I can tweak it as needed, without needing to submit multiple protected edit requests.

Well there's no way to set the PC to start at a certain time, and in a fortnight I will have forgotten all about this.

Temporary create protection: This page shares the same name as Belle Knox's purported birth name, and it has the potential for abuse of the BLP rules. Since we have repeatedly tried to prevent this from occurring on both the real and talk page, as well as respecting her wishes not to be known by any other name, leaving this page unprotected for now leaves open the possibility of abuse in the coming weeks. If Know confirms that this is indeed her birth name and is open to having this name associated with her, then we can reconsider salting this page. Tokyogirl79 would also be someone to talk to about this, as she has started an RFC on the talk page that is trending towards keeping her real name off of the site as well.

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

Temporary semi-protection (preferably a few months): Continued WP:Disruptive editing, including WP:Sockpuppetry, by Sahyadrisingh (talk · contribs). Sahyadrisingh, via his or her talk page and WP:Edit summaries, has been told to take the matter to the talk page, to stop WP:Edit warring and to stop WP:Sockpuppeting, but Sahyadrisingh remains unresponsive and keeps ignoring the warnings/advice. He or she is now using Dynamic IPs to edit war and evade WP:Scrutiny (which is a form of WP:Sockpuppetry). The only response I have gotten from this editor so far is thanks via WP:Echo for this revert I made concerning one of his or her edits; I don't think it was a mock, but I do think that the editor is either too new to understand how Wikipedia is supposed to work or will never understand how it is supposed to work (WP:Competence issues). Flyer22 (talk) 14:10, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The above editor has finally responded in a different way...by not only reverting me, but by taking the time to address me at my talk page about the Peyton Sawyer topic. It may be that semi-protecting the Peyton Sawyer article is no longer needed, but I think that we should err on the side of caution and that the article should therefore be semi-protected for at least one or two weeks, which might help encourage talk page discussion when Sahyadrisingh can't use various IPs to revert and edit war. I will refrain from reverting Sahyadrisingh or any more of the IPs in the meantime. Flyer22 (talk) 17:46, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite full protection: This article is subject to major NPOV issues after the people of Crimea voted to leave Ukraine and join Russia. This is unrecognized by any state except Russia. There is already an article at Republic of Crimea about the "unrecognized" Republic so this article should continue to reflect its "recognized" status as part of Ukraine. . JOJ Hutton 17:25, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - This user believes the term "official" insinuates that a region or people need the permission of the US and UE to do anything. This independence is recognized by the people of the land, the ones who live and work on it. Their recognition, when it all comes down to it, is the only recognition that should matter, not outsiders.

What this user is trying to do is ensure that his POV is maintained regardless of what else goes in that section of the world because he feels that wrongful information could sway others into his line of thinking (again, that being POV).

As another nation has stated: the will and self-determination of a people should be respected. Wikipedia should remain neutral, not serve as a political front for any side. Hawaiifive0 (talk) 19:13, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - @Jojhutton: I'm declining to protect this article fully, because this request looks like an attempt to "freeze" the article in place which is against the entire nature of the project. If there was a specific dispute that needed to be resolved on the discussion page of the article I would be willing to protect the page until the dispute was resolved. However, from what I can see there are many disputes on that page as the result of current events, and I'm not comfortable with a full protection implemented indefinitely with no indication as to what circumstances should result in the protection being removed. You'll have to deal with disputes as usual at the page, and while I understand that it's a large undertaking to do so with the attention this issue has received internationally, it's necessary. If there is a specific issue that is causing disruption, then protection may be considered until that issue is resolved.
@Hawaiifive0: Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Please make discussions about content using Wikipedia's standards for neutrality, as information is verified by reliable sources, not determined by the advocacy of a particular cause or to further justice for a nation or people. This project is not the place for that. -- Atama頭 19:50, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - I understand it's frustrating to deal with an editor who isn't responding to your requests to stop, but the edits the IP is making aren't vandalism. You've only communicated with the IP in such a manner as to stay "stop". Since this isn't vandalism, your reverts have put you on the edge of a 3RR violation yourself. The only persistent disruption (if you want to call it that) has been from a single IP, and if any action would be taken at the page, it would be to block that one IP (though, as stated, there is no need for a block unless both of you are blocked for edit-warring). If the IP insists on reinserting this information again (they may have given up at this point) you can let me know, and I'll consider taking some action to try to force them into a discussion. -- Atama頭 19:17, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ilion Animation Studios (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Requesting 30 day protection from IPs. An IP hopper who utilizes IPs from Mexico continues to manipulate this article negatively (and other articles, such as United Plankton Pictures). It's unclear if it is maliciousness or ignorance due to language differences, but user continues to remove, with no explanation or rationale, a perfectly useful "format=dmy" template parameter here for example. (The format instructions are at Template:Dts. User has continuously ignored explanations in edit summaries, direct comments and warnings to stop. User also continues to format article sections per their whim, rather than per MOS. In the above referenced edit, user contributes an alleged future movie event without a reference, which contravenes WP:CRYSTAL. User has also edited from 189.159.224.77, 189.237.186.87, 189.159.251.234, etc. So it's a persistent bother that has yet to be remedied through discussion. I speculate that a 30 day protection from IPs may dissuade future attempts. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:39, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @Cyphoidbomb: First, if it's an issue with a single IP or IP range, a block would be better than semi protecting an article. It appears that the IP made only one more edit after you left a message explaining why his/her edits have been reverted, and I'd like to assume good faith that your message was seen after he/she made that edit. (Given that he/she has stopped making those edits as of now.) I would also encourage you to leave messages on user talk pages instead of in edit summaries. Some users may view it as a passive aggressive approach to handling things. Also, templates are best used in situations where the issue is straightforward (i.e. blatant vandalism). In this case, the user may not understand why the edits are considered disruptive and a more detailed message would be appropriate. As it stands I think things are fine for now, but if the IP keeps making the revisions without partaking in discussion then a block would be in order. Mike V • Talk 01:46, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mike V, I can dig your expectations of AGF, and can also appreciate your suggestion that a range block might be more effective. I suppose I'll go to ANI for that? I would point out though that I'm describing persistent disruption from an individual who has been making the same sorts of edits since circa December 26, 2014, so I'm not sure it's reasonable to assume good faith if they are persistently disruptive, uncommunicative and resistant to warnings. But your points are noted. Regards. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:01, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

June 2013 Egyptian protests (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – I understand that i was engaged in an edit war, and this edit war is the reason why i'm requesting protection. But the other user involved insists on imposing his own version of the article with no willingness to properly discuss or get a consensus for their proposed change. They also seem to think that it is right to revert then discuss. I have repeatedly asked them to avoid this kind behavior but they don't seem to be willing to cooperate. I strongly apologize for edit warring and will certainly refrain from doing so, but this user (along with others who can do the same) should not be encouraged to behave like that. Requesting temporary protection, but also a simple warning to this user. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 21:32, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yesterday, I again requested a protection. An admin banned the user who had been vandalizing the page.

Political status of Crimea (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Article is very well developed and sourced. We also have several precedents for this kind of articles: Google search. The confusion strives on the article's title. It should be Political status of Crimea and Sevastopol since both territories are disputed but the dispute is based on the same argument (so there's no point in having one article for each). There are a few related articles but they intrinsically and fundamentally cover different subjects. For example:

Precedents for this includes:

..and so on as demonstrated by the Google search linked above.

We contacted the admin, as you can see at, User talk:Dpmuk#Political status of Crimea, but he preferred to bring the discussion to WP:ANI rather than here.

I hereby formally request the article's unprotection through the proper channel (this page) per the arguments presented before.

What's being discussed at ANI is the conduct of an admin in respect to WP:PREFER, a policy, as "Administrators should not protect or unprotect a page to further their own positions in content disputes.". What's being requested on this page is the article's unprotection based on arguments not related to the admin's behavior. Furthermore, this page is the channel for unprotection requests, not ANI. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 09:41, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Repeated vandalism on Greenberg's middle name. (Note: Greenberg himself spurred these actions by stating during "Mike & Mike" on March 25, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. ET, that his middle name was not James as listed on Wikipedia. He mentioned that the name began with the initial D, which prompted a guessing game by co-host Mike Golic as well as apparently everyone watching.)   → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 12:48, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, can we protect ALL the pages related to the Ukrainian and Crimean crisis? They are all subject to intensive editing, reverting, removing and other disruptive activity by numerous anon IPs (also hordes of newly registered accounts which are most likely sockpuppets of banned or restricted users). It's impossible to constructively edit any of these articles because by the time you spend time making one careful change, two dozen disruptive ridiculous nonsense changes have been made by these accounts in the interim. Volunteer Marek (talk) 22:46, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The subject is a minor European royal currently at a UK private school, Malvern College.

Technical 13, can you see how it's included on cascade-protected items? I'm guessing it's used in one of the other templates listed there, but I can't see which at a glance. If you can point me to it, I'll remove it (unless there's a very good reason that whatever is calling it needs to be left there).

Well, this article suffered IP vandalism for some time, but today an IP (83.233.187.98, his edit history - [90]) came in and started adding incorrect data to the article. Later, he registered as Facts71 (his edit history - [91]), and continued adding incorrect data to this article and some other articles (especially Ziaur Rahman)... I just didn't want to engage in an edit war with him, so I reported it here and also at ANI. --Sundostund (talk) 01:20, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sundostund, Could you provide a few diffs and explanations of what's unconstructive/inaccurate about them? It's not that I don't believe you, I just need you to help me see it for myself. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:26, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As for diffs, I don't know which one to single out, he made many edits as IP and as user... For instance, he listed Ziaur Rahman as first head of state of Bangladesh, instead of Mujibur Rahman. That was a stable version, which stood until today, and then he changed it. --Sundostund (talk) 01:30, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Anyway, I hope you'll be able to help somehow here, I really don't want to see this thing turning into an edit war... --Sundostund (talk) 01:53, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: In the couple of years I have had this article on my watchlist, the majority of the changes I have seen have been either vandalism or reverts of vandalism. While my irritation may have led me to exaggerate, and it just seems that way to me, still, I have just tallied up the number of edits that were vandalism over the past 100 edits, and they total over 30, to judge by those edits that were reverted as such. Over the past 500 edits, a rough estimate is that a quarter to a third have been the work of vandals, most, though not all of them, anonymous IP users. A search shows that it has been seven years since semi-protection was applied to this page. It is about time for it to be considered again. --Alan W (talk) 04:22, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Citation needed (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Unprotection: I'm not actually requesting complete unprotection. Twinkle doesn't seem to have an option to just request cascade protection to be removed. This template has already been lowered to  Template editor protection level but TEs still can't edit because it is transcluded from Steve Martin (not sure why that has the cascading option on) and Wikipedia:Cascade-protected items. I would like to be able to add a .tag-cn class to all instances of this template as an anchor so that people can customize how they see the text as the full wording can be obtrusive to reading. Experienced editors should have a way to modify this tag (I personally would make it bigger, but others may make it smaller). Thanks. — {{U|Technical 13}} (t • e • c) 21:34, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected. The highly visible nature of this template and its widespread use across the project (on over a quarter of a million pages) mean that changes really must be discussed first and a consensus reached. Given how small and uncomplex the template is, this isn't a matter of technical skill trumping everything else, it's a matter of determining (or establishing) consensus and not rushing in headlong with drive-by edits—that's what we elect admins for. For he record, there are a fair number of admins whose judgement I have my reservations about, but when it comes to editing templates, most of the have the sense to leave well enough alone.

  • I'll wait and see if he wants to comment here, since you've pinged him, but (much as I'm in favour of lowering to TE whenever possible) I'd still be very uncomfortable opening up something so widely used. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:25, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @HJ Mitchell and Technical 13: After we implemented the template editor right the majority of fully-protected templates still couldn't be edited because they needed to be manually lowered. That is, although we had the new permission implemented, it was rather less than useful because the very reason for the implementation was still being frustrated until we went through the slog work of making fully-protected templates editable by those with the new flag. So I started that slog work, mass lowering fully-protected templates, thinking it was only a matter of willingness to spend the time, and not a matter of agreement of whether we should or should not do it. Then some users who noticed my edits said we shouldn't mass lower yet, until we had some agreement on that as well, so I stopped. This is one of the ones I lowered while I was doing a ton. I never noticed it was cascade protected. So, my lowering of it (uselessly, given that it's cascade protected) should not be taken as my endorsement of removing cascading protection. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:43, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for your comment. I'll mention my request in the current discussion that I wanted to make this edit to assist in and see if I can build a consensus before coming back again. Thanks. — {{U|Technical 13}} (t • e • c) 13:50, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am including information that is very relevant, accurate, but inconvenient for certain sports fans to read. However, attempting to "erase" facts and history is completely opposite to the function of Wikipedia and should not be tolerated. I am willing to come to a compromise in the wording of the facts, but am resolute in my intention to present the facts to readers. I think Wikipedia will and should agree that acknowledging history, truth and facts are the founding principle of this website.

Here is the link to the Terrible Towel talk page, for some background on the disputed topic. The "Let's just keep the Ravens Super Bowl run out of the article." claim by the user is particularly questionable:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Terrible_Towel#Terrible_Curse

Furthermore, I wish to present the facts:

Fact a.) The Baltimore Ravens defeated the rival Pittsburgh Steelers on November 18, 2012. Ray Rice, Running Back for the Baltimore Ravens disrespectfully walked off the field with his teammates singing/humming "Renegade" by Styx (de facto rally song of the Steelers), waving a Terrible Towel (longtime symbol of the Steelers) and wearing it on his head.

Here are links to credible sources to back up those facts:

Fact b.) The Baltimore Ravens won Super Bowl XLVII on February 3, 2013.

Here are links to credible sources to back up those facts:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XLVII http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/47 http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/03/us/sports-super-bowl/index.html

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

Temporary semi-protection: On November 16th, February 1st, and February 28th, User:121.44.113.149 engaged in brief editing sprees at this disambiguation page, each of which were reverted. On February 28th, the page was protected for 30 days, expiring about 2 days ago. This evening, the same IP arrived at the article and removed all but one subject from the list, citing the fact that "subject has been deleted". Thereafter, the IP deleted references to other Andrew Slatterys in other articles around Wikipedia, until they received several warning templates from CVU members patrolling RC. At this point, they made an account, and replied to the warning templates with [116]. The newly-made account then immediately put a CSD template on this disambiguation page, citing the fact that it now contained reference only to one subject. Because the user had deleted the rest of its content.

I've just removed the CSD template, and engaged the user on their talk page. I suspect this is going to be a slow, delicate process, wherein several article edits will need to be reverted, and I'd like to be absolutely sure that it doesn't escalate. Once this page is protected, we can begin restoring the content of other affected articles. Meanwhile, I'll keep talking with this user. --Moralis (talk) 07:33, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
