Disneyland Railroad

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Within the past few days, multiple unregistered users based in Vietnam have been posting poorly-worded and poorly-sourced edits to this article. It's especially troublesome given that this is a featured article, and these sorts of edits, if allowed to continue, could jeopardize its featured status. The Disneyland Railroad reopened last weekend after a long hiatus, which may explain the sudden, higher-than-normal amount of attention being paid to its Wikipedia article. Semi-protection for a few weeks should be sufficient to stop the sudden spike in disruptive edits to this article, in my opinion. On a related note, this article was given pending changes protection for two weeks last June for the same reason. Jackdude101 (Talk) 02:05, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Publix

Semi-protection: Several incidents of incorrect and uncited edits changing location counts. I request at least semi-protection for a few months, as the numbers in the article that users are changing is indeed in flux as the company undergoes an expansion. Disclosure: I am employee of the subject of the article, and am paid for my time to maintain the accuracy of article on the subject's behalf. This has in no way influenced my request. Spineas (talk) 20:00, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Declined If the subject is "in flux", then all the more reason to allow people to edit since it by definition needs to be frequently updated. ‑ Iridescent 20:25, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Louisville Cardinals men's basketball

Extended confirmed protection: Due to the findings by the NCAA investigation, the University of Louisville men's basketball team is expected to vacate multiple victories, which will have an overall impact on their records and the appearances in post-season tournaments. However, the vacation has not been applied yet. Still, there are multiple instances of editors jumping the gun on the changes to this page. Many of those edits are from IP addresses, instead of registered users, so I suspect that locking the page in this manner will help to alleviate some concerns. Currently, UofL has an appeal in play, so it is not entirely clear as to how much time will elapse before the matter is finalized. If this is an inappropiate request, please be so kind as to let me know how I can better make these suggestions in the future. Thank you! — HiB2Bornot2B talk Go Big Blue! 17:48, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Roger Federer

Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing – 3 days of protection (ECP or Semi). We seem to have an anon IP 99.225.201.62 continually adding unsourced content that breaks charts. Multiple editors have been reverting it for several days now, so maybe a 3 day stay? I'm not sure if they are IP hopping so an IP block could also work if that would be better. I'll leave it up to administrators to do what's best. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:29, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yusof Ishak

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP editor keeps reverting and refuses to engage in discussion opened on the talk page. Despite proof given to prove he/she is wrong, IP editor gives reason such as "google translate proves him right" and "He/she also claimed that the mosque got the name wrong, and will change it in due course." without any reliable source for his claims.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Anarchyte (work | talk) 11:26, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Comment @Anarchyte: I've already trying to get the IP editor to engage on the talk page, but he/she still refuses to. As mentioned, I already tried to direct him to the talk page a few edits ago, and another editor even asked for sources for his/her changes at the IP editor's talk page but that has also been ignored. The IP editor has just reverted yet again with the very cryptic No quesions asked. Zhanzhao (talk) 13:24, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi - Probably a few days or a week or so to see how things go. IP hopper repeatedly adding a fairly and overall entirely too massive chunk to the lead.

TimothyJosephWood 21:17, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Declined This is not vandalism, it is a form of content dispute. The material they keep adding is sourced and appears encyclopedic, it just doesn't belong in the lede. Instead of reverting, what if you simply move it to an appropriate place in the article? Alternatively or in addition, why don't YOU start a discussion on the talk page?

Los Angeles bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics

Move protection: Given the unusual circumstances under which the 2028 games were awarded to LA, we need to discuss how to handle the article on the 2024 bid, which became the 2028 award. Despite an ongoing discussion, two editors who have never edited the article before, and who did not engage in the discussion have come along an moved the article to "Los Angeles bid for the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics" with no discussion, much less consensus. The title inaccurately presents what LA and the IOC did, and the best handling of the article needs full discussion. A short move protection will allow the discussion to move forward without another editor coming along and making an arbitrary move without consensus. ----Dr.Margi 22:22, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Move protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Hopefully that will be long enough for you to establish consensus about how to name the page. MelanieN (talk) 23:56, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a bit displeased by DrMargi's framing of the situation. If she had to undo both me AND another editor, it's likely that there's not consensus for her title, and that she may be verging on POV pushing. pbp 00:42, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting, given you barged in, ignored the prior revert (which noted no discussion and a talk page) as well as the discussion on the talk page and moved the article again. Two moves does not equate with consensus; I restored the article to WP:STATUSQUO in the absence of consensus for any change to the standing title. ----Dr.Margi 01:05, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You need to get off your high horse, bud, and stop using loaded words like "barged". I'm smelling WP:OWNERSHIP issues with you and this page. Also, STATUSQUO isn't policy. If you were warring with two editors over content instead of title, you'd almost certainly be in the wrong. pbp 01:08, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've removed protection, as I can't imagine RHaworth objecting—the repeated recreations that led to its being deleted were from an earlier stage of his career, but in light of the confirmed Grammy nomination he at minimum ought to be discussed at AFD if anyone still feels it should be deleted. I've not restored the earlier versions, as there doesn't appear to be anything of value there. ‑ Iridescent 21:14, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent BLP violations by IP. Seems more appropriate than a block but happy to accept Admin discretion. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 08:29, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question: @DerbyCountyinNZ: Please explain the nature of the BLP violation - it seems there is a source given. Samsara 09:42, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There are no sources stating that Overton is the "17th oldest person in the United States" or the "77th oldest recorded man", there are merely links to other Wikipedia articles. Even if this was not a BLP violation (which I believe it is) previous consensus reached [[[Talk:Misao_Okawa#Unnecessary Milestones!|here]] with regard to such information in Longevity biographies requires that the information have a RS which specifically state such rankings (a link to an off-Wiki list being insufficient). DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 09:58, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@DerbyCountyinNZ: You really should have provided that material directly to the IP. Sometimes, IP editors do not find their way to the talk page. Also note that as of 2014, longevity is no longer under DS. This seems to not have made its way into all documents. I'm taking it up with arbs now. As for the superlatives, it makes sense to me to make that information accessible in an article. What about listing it as a "see also"? Samsara 10:21, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done The purpose of PC is to allow everyone to edit while still having vandalism not get on the page. Very few of the article's readers will ever actually see the vandalism that has been reverted because you need to be logged in to view the pending changes automatically (logged out people see the most recently accepted).

Edmund Barton

Indefinite Semi-protection: Important article, of high quality. Persistent disruptive editing ever since article creation in 2011. For at least the last 3 years, about half of all changes have been simply reverted, often by CluebotNG. Vandalised in childish ways, sometimes sneaked in as "fixed typo". Often a bot-fooling change of one or two figures in a date. Seems likely to be by school students who have to write about Barton as Australia's first Prime Minister; if so, warnings seem likely to suffice. Some vandals have been blocked, but others (or the same by other names) continue unabated.

Edit 2: I've left a note on Sandstein's talk page here. Hopefully he will consider lifting these restrictions so you can downgrade the protection level. DrStrauss talk 21:19, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Edit 3: @Timotheus Canens: Sandstein has stated that he has no objection to such a reduction here. DrStrauss talk 21:23, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The problem this protection was intended to solve is that multiple experienced editors were merrily editing and warring over the article, basically ignoring the restriction. AE didn't - and doesn't - have enough manpower to babysit the article, so full protection was the only alternative. ECP does nothing to solve that problem. T. Canens (talk) 18:40, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In any event, you wrote on Sandstein's talk page that you want to "add sourced, neutral content". That means it's by definition not minor, and so the restriction - which Sandstein declined to alter - means that you have to first obtain consensus on the talk page regardless of the protection. Given that, the extra burden of {{editprotected}} is minimal. T. Canens (talk) 18:50, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Timotheus Canens: so you would be okay with me making edits in a sandbox version and having an administrator copy them across? DrStrauss talk 20:06, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Provided you obtain consensus for the edit on the article talk page first. That's how edits to protected pages are supposed to be done. T. Canens (talk) 21:47, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ahmad Zahid Hamidi

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Since August 4th, a stream of IP hoppers have been changing the subject's birthplace to Indonesia.

Zhanzhao (talk) 12:00, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: @Zhanzhao: I don't see any source for the pre-existing statement either - is there one? Samsara 05:38, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Samsara: Egads, you're right, I can't seem to dig up any information on that either. The only thing found from googling is that his father was born in the place, and that this wiki-warring problem stretches all the way back to 2013 at least. His article in the Malay wikipedia shows Bagan Datoh, Perak, but similarly without any source, though recently a similar edit changing his birthplace from Malaysia to Indonesia got the editor banned for vandalism, though I'm not sure how much weight that carries on the English wikipedia. Just googling his name turns up "Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia", but no idea where Google is getting that information from though.
I don't know if there's a precedent for it, but is it possible to leave out his birthplace and just keep the birthday in the "born" section of the info box, until all this gets sorted out in the Talkpage? Can't think of a better idea at the moment. Zhanzhao (talk) 08:29, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Zhanzhao: I trust that the birth date is more certainly known, otherwise that might need to be chopped, too. Now, let's see if anyone re-inserts an unsourced birth place before we protect. Regards, Samsara 09:01, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What's the last week or recently disputed material got to do with anything. The rule states "any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict".

Current practice, after several discussions on the subject, is to not protect pre-emptively. This view is also held by at least some members of ArbCom. So if there isn't Israel-Palestine related disruption from new users, we won't put it on ECP-ARBPIA3. Samsara 17:57, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Norton LiveUpdate

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Potential sock per Codename Lisa (not sure which sock) and disruptive editing. -- Dane talk 16:45, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: @Dane: Explain to me the problem with the material - I followed it to the source, where it says, "when we uninstalled it, it left behind the separate LiveUpdate component. You have to know to go back and remove LiveUpdate as well." This seems to support the statement as indicated, except perhaps for the last few words? Samsara 17:15, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Samsara: Hello! If you must know, I'll write the content problem below. But as you were told in ANI, last time you got engaged with this malicious person, of the dishonorable cause, no action arise. This sock is here to disrupt and hinder; one should not even consider he might be right. (And I tell you in all these years, he was never.) Deny recognition.
Extended content

what I deleted (and the sock is reverting) is synthesis of published material, to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources. One reviewer observed one single instance in which a shared component was not automatically removed. Does it happen always or was it just in that particular case? We don't know. And yet the article goes on to say "Norton 2008 and previous versions include a separate LiveUpdate component, which must be separately uninstalled, or removed using the Norton Removal Tool." Where is "and previous versions" in the source? Where is "or removed using the Norton Removal Tool"?

Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 22:03, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The section you removed was improved to its current form in February 2009 in response to queries for better sourcing. As far as I'm aware, that improved section has not been questioned during the entire time that people were able to directly verify it. Potential references were bound to disappear in the almost ten years since that version of the product was released, so you'd probably be hard pushed to actually substantiate that your unreferenced POV is correct. You say, "in all these years, he was never [right]", and mention the previous incident, in which the person disagreeing with you turned out to be right. Samsara 06:19, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of 1 day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Right. This is obviously a content dispute, so I've given it 24 hours in the hopes that some people will discuss the issue of the section, even if the IP doesn't contribute. The section had been there for years before, so a discussion would be nice, even if it's only a few people. Anarchyte (work | talk) 12:22, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dinesh D'Souza

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry—three new IPs ([20], [21], [22]) resumed edit warring almost immediately after the most recent page protection expired; article has been targeted numerous times by serial indeffed sockpuppeteer Oneshotofwhiskey, who appears to be personally obsessed with D'Souza (see the archive for more details), using inummerable IPs (here's a small sample: [23], [24], [25], [26]). That these IPs are all being operated by Oneshotofwhiskey has been established by previous SPIs and is evident from the way they repeat Oneshot's arguments (cf. here and here) and continually reinsert the same contentious WP:BLP vios about D'Souza's "Marriage scandal" and "convicted felon" status: See, e.g., here, here, here, and here. Admin DoRD, who has previously dealt with Oneshot's antics, recently expressed the view that "It's become clear that blocking the IP socks isn't effective." TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 12:23, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is really one editor's personal assessment of the recent editing and reflect his longstanding personal battles including mutual sockpuppet warring with a single editor with whom he appears to have some content disagreements. The recent IP edits are not vandalism, they're content that OP dislikes. I suggest that the proper path to adjudicate and resolve the accusations he makes here would first be at SPI.

Antisemitism in the United Kingdom

Could someone have a look at maybe protecting the Antisemitism in the United Kingdom page. There are two editors, with an anti-Corbyn agenda, determined to include a picture of Jeremy Corbyn. This is clearly a highly toxic and controversial issue in UK politics. But the picture was added only two weeks ago, shortly after the 2017 UK general election. There was no discussion and no consensus was sought. There's little evidence of a consensus for such a controversial move. Garageland66 (talk) 08:46, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Allow only old users to edit. Disruptive IP editing, including removal of reliable sources and suspected sock-puppetry. One of the users has only a few dozen edits and is making mud-slinging remarks and is suspiciously switching between IPs. Based on the location and editing history, I suspect this is the same IP that edit warred across multiple pages in this topic area and continuous to message the same user for help. These articles are also frequently disrupted by newcomers unfamiliar with Wikipedia's sourcing policy and frequently insert original research into them. They are better off protected from newcomers and IPs. I was advised that page protection is the best option to request, but I think semi-protection from IPs and newly registered users is the best solution for now. I was also advised to file an SPI based on the current evidence and previous IPs in this same area of edit warring and pinging the same user(s) for help, but I will pursue that later on when I have more time.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 05:09, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The last time the page was protected was on 5 March 2017‎, for an IP address editing in this same information. [41] It has been protected previously over the years.

Siva Vaidhyanathan

Temporary Semi-protection: Request by Siva Vaidhyanathan. Sheldon Rampton (talk) 16:08, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I just protected the Siva Vaidhyanathan page on Wikipedia. I am friends on Facebook with Professor Vaidhyanathan, who wrote an editorial that was published today in the New York Times about the Nazi violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he teaches. He asked on Facebook that someone "lock" his page since he thinks there is a strong possibility his editorial will attract harassment including possible vandalism of his page. I protected the page for one day but would like guidance from someone who is a more active administrator than me. I have been a Wikipedia administrator since around 2004, but I have not actually been very active as an editor or administrator for several years now, so I'm not conversant with current policies and procedures for things such as protecting pages. I'd appreciate any advice, and apologies in advance if I did it wrong. I thought this was a case where it was best to put some kind of protection in place quickly and then work out the details later. Here is the link to Professor Vaidhyanathan's editorial: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/14/opinion/why-the-nazis-came-to-charlottesville.html

@Sheldon Rampton: Hello! I understand the concern, but the policy is clear on that both semi-protection and pending changes should not be used as a preemptive measure (from Wikipedia:Protection policy#Guidance for administrators). I have added the page to my watchlist to monitor any potential disruptive edits though. Regards, Alex ShihTalk 16:22, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Alex Shih: Thanks for the prompt response and for putting the page on your watchlist. I have not removed the protection that I put in place. As I indicated previously, I haven't been an active editor on WIkipedia lately and am not familiar with the nuances of how the process works, so I'm not sure that I would do the removal correctly. If other admins such as yourself feel the best course of action is to remove the protection now, I'll defer to others' judgment in whatever actions you choose to take. Otherwise, I think it will expire in 24 hours anyway. --Sheldon Rampton (talk) 16:36, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Sheldon Rampton: I have already removed the current protection. Hopefully everything goes well. Alex ShihTalk 16:39, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question: @Jd22292: There seems to be conflict stemming from, It was later re-released with updated special effects and a different story as 2001 Yonggary on January 20, 2001 which had a longer running time of 95 minutes. I noticed particularly the phrase, different story. It occurred to me that if the story is different, a separate article might be merited, similar to how we treat Power Rangers and its source material separately (but do not in the case of simpler re-releases such as re-releases with updated special effects of the original Star Wars trilogy). What do you think? Samsara 06:53, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:ElliotR1

Indefinite protection – this account allegedly belonged to Elliot Rodger, the mass-murderer who shot dead six people and then himself in 2014. There's no proof of the link, although user name and edit pattern would certainly suggest so. This user got indefinitely blocked in 2013 after just twenty edits, all disruptive or vandalic. After the killings, a few users started leaving RIP messages or the {{Deceased}} banner, even trying to add him to the 'Deceased Wikipedians' page, all things that vandals don't deserve (WP:DENY), let alone murderous vandals. Deeday-UK (talk) 15:28, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: The article has become very controversial as of late due to it being ostensibly related to religious conversion.

They have been doing this even while discussing it on talk page of the article or User talk:222.165.9.81. And they don't seem to be seeing eye-to-eye on anything.

Have a look at some of their edits [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52] I think it will be much better if the article is locked and they discuss instead first. MonsterHunter32 (talk) 02:09, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. The users haven't edited the article in over 12 hours so a full protection may not be necessary at this time. I'd recommend taking it to the edit warring noticeboard for broader administrative review. If the edit war resumes, please ping me (or any other admin online) so the article can be protected.

Alt-left

  • Alt-left (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) user:Mark Miller has been flagrantly edit warring this page since it's creation. There have been four sections on the talk page alone by four unrelated editors asking him to stop. Additionally, user:Mark Miller removed well-sourced uncontroversial, non-BLP violating content seven separate times (7rr). After he was reported for edit-warring, the page was locked down for three days by an administrator. It appears this is the place to go to ask for a reduction in protection level. I realize this is a contentious topic, but everyone else was getting along just fine, barring the usual minor disagreements (all of which we discussed like adults). Please see the talk page for evidence as to what I am referring to. I would request a reduction in protection level, and more importantly a block of user:Mark Miller from editing this page. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.114.214.45 (talkcontribs)
@EdJohnston: Protecting admin, though I doubt he'll do anything. Anarchyte (work | talk) 11:34, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The IP editor has now made this request in three different places including the post here. It would have been helpful if they had linked to User talk:EdJohnston#Alt left where I previously declined their request. I'll leave this one for some other admin to decide on. Personally I think my choice of three days of full protection was reasonable. (It is uncommon to issue blocks at AN3 when protection is also used). Due to the nature of the topic, this article could have been put under a 1RR per WP:ARBAPDS with all that machinery but so far no admin has found it necessary.

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. - @Jd22292: Please note, a new/anon editor (who almost certainly is not familiar with our policies) trying to discuss a change on the talk page is something to be encouraged and is almost never grounds for fully protecting a page. Please remember to not bite newer editors and assume the best of intentions when dealing with other editors. Finally, per WP:ARBPIA3#500/30 an editor who is not technically permitted to edit an article subject to the Arb remedy is allowed (and I would argue encouraged) to discuss the article and propose changes on its talk page subject to the usual guidelines.

Pending changes protection: Persistent vandalizatation happening repeatedly every few days, where after a very few days, vandalism occurs again. This trend has been going on for a extremely long long time on this page. Due to the style of vandalization that this page is receiving (which is on and off), it would be wise to put, a (pending changes protection) rather than a straight out protection that prevents non-confirmed users from editing. The importance of this page is that it is probably a very visited page, and that it has been abused for a long time. Aceing_Winter_Snows_Harsh_Cold (talk) 01:05, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: IP has violated the no restore clause of the Arbitration decision. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 02:14, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
information Administrator note - This article is right up to the line of what I would consider to be "reasonably construed as belonging to the Arab-Israeli conflict." I'm leaning decline on the protection request as while the conflict is mentioned it is not the main subject of the article and we generally try to be as open to editing as possible as a default stance. However, I would appreciate a second opinion from another admin prior to handling the request. Mifter (talk) 07:20, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Mifter - If the article contains content that could or would be considered "Arab-Israeli conflict-related", then the article is within the realms of this topic and therefore WP:ARBPIA3#500/30 would apply. Broadly construed is what this very situation is meant for; if content within an article subject has a legitimate argument to be considered within a given topic under discretionary sanctions or if the content appears to be "borderline" or "dancing" within the given topic, then the article can be considered as being within that particular topic and therefore under discretionary sanctions. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:09, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@CambridgeBayWeather: If by "both" you include me, your judgement toward me is unfair. I mostly disagree with the consensus, but I revert edits to get back to it anyway (on top of not related edits). Robminchin did the same. And it was not only one editor but a bunch of editors whose edits Robminchin and I had to revert to get back to the censens. You and me had a content dispute on SP, but you ought to use your administrator powers fairly anyway.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There is a big fight between some editors and users of the language. The editors in this case are imposing their point of view by reverting the edits that do not conform with their point of view. They are using bullying techniques. I have tried to incorporate both the points of views in the edit. I have properly cited relevant works, while at the same time left ground open for additional citations. For an unbiased observer there should be no reason of discontent on either side, . Wilkn (talk) 07:04, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Samsara, the editors removing the content, who all seem to be the same person, were not providing valid rationales. Oshwah and I were reverting blanking.

WP:ARBPIA3 still says "All IP editors, accounts with fewer than 500 edits, and accounts with less than 30 days tenure are prohibited from editing any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. This prohibition is preferably enforced by the use of extended confirmed protection, but where that is not feasible, it may also be enforced by reverts, page protections, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters."

@Yaris678: It's on the talk page.

It sounded too onerous last time that GorillaWarfare suggested it in response to my query.

I would like to request 'Semi-protection' on this page for the foreseeable future since there seems to be a spade of activities concerning this entity and this can cause some vandalism on Wikipedia.

Diana, Princess of Wales

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – PP1 is nice, but nearly every edit that isn't a reversion IS a bad edit by a anon. And every other edit…is by an anon. Well above the 5% guideline in policy. Just did some quick counting: as of 11:07 8/31/17 Central Time

  • 35 bad edits, all non-autoconfirmed
  • 30 reversions
  • 37 other edits, all but 4 were AC
  • 3 bot edits

So only 4-5 edits out of 102 were good and made by an IP%. That's not 5% vandalism, thats 5% good anon edits. Thanks. L3X1 (distænt write) 16:33, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:H:GS

Full protection: shortcut now linked to the automated welcome system resulting in many people posting at this talk page. Lets protect this talk page from editing from new editors (as is the main page) this way they will move on to a more productive area or perhaps read the posting on the page on where to go to ask questions.Moxy (talk) 19:32, 30 August 2017 (UTC). Moxy (talk) 19:32, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This page is an inappropriate place for new users to be posting and a dead end for them; if the inappropriate posts resume after protection expires, maybe the link in the automated welcome system should be changed. --MelanieN (talk) 22:01, 30 August 2017 (UTC) MelanieN (talk) 22:01, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
