John Laurens

Raise protection: High level of meat puppetry since a Tumblr post calling to action against “straight” editing on John Laurens article. Several SPA were created since that post as it has been revealed in a SPI here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Rainyquill#Comments_by_other_users and the level of disruption is hard to keep track of. Please raise level of present protection and consider making it indefinite as is the case for the other pages dedicated to Founding Fathers that have been subject to constant disruption like the related Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, etc.

Extended confirmed protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Fish+Karate 10:11, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nanga Parbat

Temporary Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. —MBL talk 13:06, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The page is already semi'd indefinitely, and the users appear willing to discuss. There has been only one revert today. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:04, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Scarlett (G.I. Joe)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing edit warring by multiple IPs. This is the third time I have requested indefinite protection for this article. The last two times, the article was protected temporarily, but as soon as the protection was lifted, the same disruptive edits started appearing again on the article. This seems to be POV editing by one individual, who does not have an account, but it only occurs when the article is not under protection. Fortdj33 (talk) 21:08, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. This user's disruption spans across a wide range of articles, so rather than protect one of them I've blocked the user's IP range. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:06, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jayendra Saraswathi

Temperory Full protection: This person died today - 02/28/2018 and everyone is trying to put magazine articles as main subject matter. Those should be added to references and not in the main article. It is being done to ruin the image of the person. Pdsubbu (talk) 02:47, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The edits I have reviewed appear to be in good faith for the most part. Please use the talk page to discuss particular issues. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:28, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – persistent disruptive editing by ip address 124.168.25.168 (talk)and 203.217.42.113 (talk) . the guest users have a dynamic ip range and have been given multiple warnings, but are using different ip ranges of 124.168.xxx and 203.xxx on the article History of WWE, this has been going on since 2017. Check Revision history History of WWE: Revision history, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_WWE&action=history.

User(s) blocked. Please make a new report if disruption continues. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:52, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Slipknot (band)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism is very frequent on this article. It's not rapid, but many of the edits performed on this article are vandal reverts or otherwise disruptive. It's gone on long enough. Protection log is extensive, never has it once been put to justice. More ensues as soon as the last one's over. dannymusiceditor Speak up! 17:23, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

David Hogg (activist)

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Please protect it for at least a couple of weeks, if not longer. Far-right trolls and Russian bots will continue trying to disparage this person as long as he remains in the news. - MrX 🖋 18:41, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pen

Permanent semi-protection: It puzzles me why this page is a permanent vandal magnet. As you may see, 99% or edit is vadalism + rvv. What a waste of Wikipedians' time! Staszek Lem (talk) 18:42, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Highly visible page, this will allow constructive editing. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:53, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Rumors she may resign in coming weeks, but nothing official. IPs changing her position and career notes as if it was. TropicAces (talk) 21:46, 28 February 2018 (UTC)tropicAces[reply]

  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 22:36, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Already protected by administrator SarekOfVulcan. The semiprotection expires in about six hours, so we'll see if things have died down then. Pending changes will persist, and hopefully that will be sufficient. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:20, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected --Dlohcierekim (talk) 16:11, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Human Rights Foundation

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – There have been several periods of semi protection in the past to protect against one blocked user who vandalises using IPs and is not interested in discussion (see the edit summaries from today which, frankly, need revdeling). A little lot longer than three days would be good, I believe. bonadea contributions talk 11:54, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IP block evasion of User:Human Rights Foundation. SA 13 Bro (talk) 12:01, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suggest Indefinite semi-protection instead since the repeated vandalism/disruptive editing has been going on for years, with an endless number of throwaway IPsocks and named accounts (see page history), and the single individual behind it seems to be (Personal attack removed) (check their latest, now revdel'd, edit summaries...). - Tom | Thomas.W talk 13:06, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Little Mix discography

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism from IP – the IP address keeps changing but it appears to be the same person, as the geolocation always shows the IP address to be in the Manchester region of England. Vandal replaces actual content with fictitious content – this has been going on constantly since August 2017, and in the last month alone it has occurred 12 times: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12].

ArmaLite AR-15

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Persistent IP vandalism after the recent protection has expired. Pending-changes protection would allow anyone to edit, without the vandalism showing up. If permanent protection is not feasible, please protect for a few weeks.

Sambhaji

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This page gets a drive-by editor on average every other day, and for years now they do one of two things:

  • Whitewash the fact that this person was jailed by his father
  • Add honorifics to his name

Neither are constructive, so basically editors have to drop in every other day to revert, and almost all of the disruptive edits are IPs or new/single-purpose accounts. Thanks!. MatthewVanitas (talk) 01:48, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP editor who keeps deleting entries. The main article is under permanent protection. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 16:48, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done We don't usually protect talk pages, because that's how IP editors communicate about an article when an article is protected. It's only two instances, so is hardly persistent, anyway. If it keeps happening then go to WP:AIV as it's all coming from a single IP address. Fish+Karate 10:17, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wolqayt

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – This page has continued vandalism from various malicious sources who seek to change to edit the article for political anti-government reasons. These edits are only to change to location of the administrative unit from Tigray Regional State (which it has been both officially and in practice since 1995) to Amhara Regional State (which it has technically never been under). This explanation of the area's history is in the overview section of the article. However, these edits seek to erase facts and replace them with ignorant hatred. These edits are mainly from non-registered users whose IP address is displayed. Turtlewong (talk) 23:52, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Malan Breton

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. 90.24.172.138 (talk) 02:24, 2 March 2018 (UTC) Persistent vandalism Due to a press article dated 2/27/2018 this page has been vandalised by anonymous posters, when the subject is complete in containing the actual information claimant misstates as being removed in said press article. Please revert current changes, and multiple additions of the same information to this page. In said article, the writer claims openly to Persistent vandalism to said page. I don't think the subject being on a TV show thirteen years ago warrants Persistent addition of multiple matching posts on said page from various anonymous posters who have been influenced by a press article, In viewing the IP log the page has only been changed by Wiki administrators for some time. Please note this article could use an update, we have discovered multiple updates here https://www.malanbreton.com/about. Also please note, as stated in the article about subject, the subject did not receive "his first public notice" (referencing the most recent vandalism) I think he was a well known model, actor, and stylist prior. I just looked him up on IMDB and there are a number of credits to his name, including Zoolander which was released in the early 2000's before reality TV http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2351252/.[reply]

Declined Not sure what you're referring to, there have barely been any edits to this page in months, and I don't see any obvious vandalism. If you have issues with the content, feel free to edit the article yourself! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:24, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Constant vandalism recently - recommend semi-protect since mainly by IPs. Kirbanzo (talk) 04:18, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Eh, it was four IPs all concentrated within a two-hour span half a day ago, all from the same location. Likely some kids mucking around past their bedtime. Rereport or ping if they come back, but this seems like a drive by. (ETA: Report was made just a few hours after, so fairly reasonable without 20/20 hindsight) ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:09, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jon Gibson (Christian musician)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The IPV6 anon is back adding unsourced, poorly sourced or dubious material. Rather than revert it all this time, I have cleaned it up, removing some of the poor sources, but I expect that the patter of poor editing will continue. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:03, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They are fine, he just doesn't like them and never has so he complains. I realize they may not be the best sources or even ones he approves of but they were included just to show him there are many cites available. He reverted many edits in the past over song titles that he was wrong about because he was too "busy" to fix it himself or he didn't want to double check accuracy. He doesn't bring conflicts to the talk pages either. He just deletes stuff all the time. He's been disruptive and lazy. I did all the work again. I was right from the start as I proved with the sources. He hates having to do any work except to undo people's good faith contributions then go to boards such as this to complain from what I constantly see. I overly sourced contributions on purpose because there's no making Walter happy. He has to have it his way on Gibson and other articles (as seen on Billy Graham and many others over the years that I've kept track of). He has to constantly change my edits or tell me what to do when it's petty (like not adding spaces on talk pages). He has to have his "signature" on and hand in everything I do all because I'm contributing as "anon" on articles he babysits which is clouding his judgment. I'm sick of it and what has been included is factual/proved once again! I'm tired of having to prove him wrong with my knowledge about some individuals he knows nothing about. I'm not going to go back-and-forth on here but at least he didn't conduct an edit war AGAIN as he's been doing on other articles to get his way. At least he kept some text yet he thinks i'm disruptive for doing so!? He has violated the revert rule many times and hasn't been blocked recently as a result (except in the past as I've seen in his archives). We both know the info on that article is real and if I have to keep adding it until after he's long gone from here then I will! P.s. I'm tired of his bad attitude and snarky edit summary remarks as well. He needs to be professional and mature. He doesn't know everything. FYI: i'm done making edits on Gibson's page for what it's worth. I have more I can do but he's not worth my time. He'll just reject everything and then complain about it here for others to join his band wagon. Gimme a break! He's making it miserable for people on here who are trying to make an honest effort. And making multiple contributions is not disruptive! 2600:1702:1690:E10:8938:94E:77FE:6FF1 (talk) 16:30, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I came here to say that the anon has come back and has not continued to add poor sources so this lock may not be necessary.
It's not that I don't approve of them, it's they violate WP:RS and are otherwise poor sources. Blogs. WP:PRIMARY. Sources that have been explained to you before. The song title you say is wrong is actually sourced. There were two different titles: "This Wall" and Gibson's preferred, "The Wall". Sorry you don't know the difference between WP:V and lazy. I just spent thirty minutes correcting the sources you added. Not sure how that's lazy. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:45, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In contrast, valid reverts of bad faith non-autoconfirmed edits were made on Jan 18, Dec 22, Dec 11 (okay, ClueBot got that one), and Nov 28 (twice manually, plus one by ClueBot).

Semi-protection: Yes, I know I just requested semi-protection, turned down by Muboshgu, who urged giving the IP warnings.

Sorry, I think this was terrible advice. The first IP is a single purpose account, created solely for wikihounding. They are clearly an experienced contributor, and almost certainly a sockpuppet.

This is an urgent matter.

One of the areas where the wikipedia is weak is that it can take a long time to block determined wikihounders, and malicious sockpuppetmasters. It took almost six months each before my last two malicious wikihounders were finally blocked.

Since I made my first request the original IP vandalized the page, again, and then switched IP addresses. So, I repeat my erquest for semi-protection. Geo Swan (talk) 00:18, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You got an answer you didn't like, and so you're trying again? This is disrespectful at a minimum. If it's one problem user, we should be dealing with that problem user at either AIV or SPI. If you want to view this as a content dispute, you go to Dispute Resolution. This is not the proper forum for this issue. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:12, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: About seven days ago a contributor excised a non-free image from this article. I asked them to explain themselves, on the article's talk page, and waited six days for that explanation. When they didn't offer that explanation, I restored the image.

We have ways to challenge and defend non-free images. Simply excising them, when there is less than a day on the clock? That is, in my opinion, a lapse from our procedures. Yet an IP contributor has removed the image, twice, in a relatively short period of time. Geo Swan (talk) 02:45, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Television content rating system

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Content rating articles (such as this one along with Motion picture content rating system and Video game content rating system) have been subject to sustained IP disruption since Christmas. The editor's MO is to alter the highlighting in the tables so that highlighting becomes inconsistent with the key. The editor hops IP numbers but they all geolocate to South Korea: 175.223.10.84 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), 175.223.2.200 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), 110.70.51.6 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), 110.70.26.96 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), 223.38.22.156 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), 1.215.36.99 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), 61.109.111.155 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), 110.70.58.217 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), 211.203.35.206 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). In discussions the IP has used used dynamic IPs to feign support for his position, such as in this discussion. Multiple discussion on the article talk pages come to nothing. These articles were subject to intensive disruption by SlitherioFan2016 about a year ago, who had a similar obsession with the hightlighting at these articles and would randomly alter the color schemes (which was set through an RFC at Talk:Motion_picture_content_rating_system/Archive_1#RfC:_Should_the_comparison_table_in_the_article_use_a_color_scheme_accessible_to_color-blind_users?). Semi-protection has already been enacted at Motion picture content rating system where most of the intense disruption was taking place, but protecting that article seems to have simply shifted the problem to Television content rating system.

Requesting that pending changes be removed from this indefinitely semi-protected article. No need for pending changes since all edits will be automatically accepted and there will be no need for reviewing. For some reason, the admin that placed semi-protection on the article does not answer this type of request. — MRD2014 Talk 13:57, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question: @MRD2014: did you ask them? I don't see any edits by you on Samsara's talk page since Christmas. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:08, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No because the last time I did they didn't fulfill the request, saying the blue highlighting in the page history would disappear. The review log can still be checked however. I'm not asking for a complete unprotection of the page, otherwise I would've asked. It would still remain semiprotected. — MRD2014 Talk 14:12, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to defer to Samsara on this one. Since removing pending changes would not functionally alter the protection level, there's no harm in waiting a bit. Samsara's talk archives are not searchable, but somehow I feel like there's more to this than what you're saying. An admin declining a request because of the colour that edits appear on a page history seems far-fetched. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits)
One time at User_talk:Samsara/Archive16#Pending_changes_on_extended-confirmed_protected_articles, they deferred to the admins who placed pending changes protection on the article. I guess I could ask KTC, the one who placed PC on this article, instead. — MRD2014 Talk 21:11, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Political edits by RedHermit1982, resulting in removing of widely accepted references. Plaasjapie (talk) 15:18, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, User:Plaasjapie "widely accepted" does not mean "accurate" or supported by sound empirical evidence. I wish you would engage in discussion with me on the Talk page before immediately moving to protect the page. I'm new to this whole thing, so I'm not entirely familiar with all the procedures, but it's my understanding that's how things are usually done within the BRD framework. I can understand your skepticism, but I do have valid reasons for interrogating the 1 million to 2 million figure based on more recent scholarship. Etherington in his 2004 paper A Tempest in a Teapot? Nineteenth-Century Contests for Land in South Africa's Caledon Valley and the Invention of the Mfecane states:

Even more uncertainty pervades discussions of loss of life. Natal trader Henry Francis Fynn told Samuel Charters in 1838 that not less than 1,000,000 human beings were destroyed‘ by Shaka, the Zulu king. Theal extrapolated from this and other uncertain reports from the highveld to reach a total ‗nearer two millions‘, telling readers that ‗compared with this, the total loss of human life, occasioned by all the wars in South Africa in which Europeans have engaged since first they set foot in the country, sinks into insignificance‘

This is a number Theal took second-hand from another person who got it from another person, and then arbitrarily added another million to it all for the clear purpose of downplaying the violence of colonists by comparison. In "Barbarians: Ancient and Modern," Etherington is even more explicit, saying "Claims of one to two million dead in the mfecane helped settlers deny culpability for land seizures. Equally convenient were the reports of long‐distance mass migrations that could be used to dismiss current occupiers of the land as refugees from distant parts."
I'm fine with including the 1 to 2 million figure somewhere within the body of the article, perhaps in a separate section, where full play can be given to scholarly voices after the post-1990s reassessment and paradigm shift in historiography. As it stands, the body of the article is based on dated sources. I can't find an article that is post-2000. As for political motivations, I would say it's more "political" to take the views of 19th century historians at face value and give them undue weight while disregarding altogether colonial/racial biases as well as more recent scholarship. I'm assuming good faith and will refrain from making further reverts contingent on Plaasjapie engaging in constructive debate with me on this issue.RedHermit1982 (talk) 14:51, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:TWL2C

Indefinite template protection: High-risk template – This template won't need to change and is used extensively on several tennis stats pages. So it'd be good to protect it, just like Template:Tennis win percentage already is. -Testpored (talk) 14:39, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Declined 6 transclusions is not enough to justify indefinite template protection, per WP:HRT. As a point of comparison, Template:Tennis win percentage is transcluded on around 500 pages. Fish+Karate 14:46, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But what if a vandal messes with it; then several records pages would be hosed. The concern is not number of pages but extensiveness of overall usage on the pages it is used. -Testpored (talk) 14:56, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Then we press 'rollback', and possibly block the vandal.

De-archiving a request from 20 February 2018
Unprotection: The page was semi-protected in March 2008 – ten years ago – because of IP vandalism. Do we really think the vandals are still lurking, ready to strike, after all that time? It's not as though KFC is a particularly controversial topic.

There appears to be quite a bit of activity on the page today, probably related to this issue. Favonian (talk) 20:18, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's what brought me to the article. But I honestly don't think that that story would lead to high levels of vandalism. I can see why Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections is semi-protected, but a problem delivering chickens to a fast-food franchise isn't really on the same level, is it?
User:Caulde semi-protected the article in March 2008. The protection level has not been reduced since. User:NawlinWiki changed to "move=sysop" in January 2010, after some bizarre page moves, which isn't quite the same thing. I will ask them, but they've only edited Wikipedia twice since October. I'd say that counts as inactive. 2001:BB6:4703:4A58:755B:C994:A4CC:FC8 (talk) 21:16, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Two weeks have passed. The hoo-ha has died down. The incident has been added to the article in a neutral fashion, and there's only been one edit – to change a dash to an en-dash – since 23 February.

List of aviation shootdowns and accidents during the Syrian Civil War

Semi-protection: Low grade edit warring over minor details, particularly in regard to Russian Shootdowns. Majority of disruptive edits come from a single (probably??) Serbian IP address (judging by what I can crudely determine), as well as a second IP that appears to originate from Belgium, although the latter just seems to speak English poorly and as a result make poor edits. However there are several other users who routinely step on each others toes in a mildly disruptive manner. Jyggalypuff (talk) 08:01, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Can someone else make heads or tails of this? There are no edit summaries for ages, so it's hard to parse, but I think you're referring to the change from 12 to 13 in Russia's totals? TBQH from the text and sources the edits don't seem particularly out of order unless I'm missing something, so I can't say they're clearly vandalism. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:01, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Declined If there's an ongoing dispute going on, it looks to have settled down about a few days ago - no protection is needed so long as things remain this way. If this changes and if disruption picks back up, file another report and we'll take another look. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 15:34, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The user *Treker has only beeen here for two years and removed contents that were here for over 10 years without any explanation. Please check the revision history and compare the 2016 detailed version to the latest ruined version. Please warn the users, re add the information that has been removed without any explanation and make the article semi protected.

Semi-Protection - either indef or long-term (6 months). There has been persistent disruption to this page. Recent ban-evading socks making similar edits were blocked, but the problems continue via multiple IP accounts, all from the same town in China. Page has been protected short-term several times, but disruption always resumes. In fact, as soon as the protection ended today, same user, new IP address, makes exact same problem edit as before, while also removing the expired protected tag at the same time, showing awareness, patience and intent. - theWOLFchild 04:20, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Disruptive edit just reverted back in, then a source removed (no idea why), same person, same ISP, same area in China, different/new IP account. Please re-add protection at earliest convenience. Thanks - theWOLFchild 10:06, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of 5 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This is a content dispute. Full protection is necessary in order to stop the edit warring by both users involved. Had I saw this edit history only a few hours earlier while it was in progress, both users would have been blocked for edit warring. Since a few hours have passed since either user has edited the page, blocking isn't justifiable. So, it's fully protected until things are worked out. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:16, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reduction to Pending Changes protection. This article was indefinitely protected in December, 2008 by Yamamoto Ichiro, who is apparently inactive (not editing for almost a year at this point). This indefinite protection followed a series of short-term vandalism blocks starting in March of that year. A decade after the vandalism started is likely long enough for them to have moved on and the recent edit history shows a low level of problematic activity with only three reverts since the beginning of this year.

Reduction to temporary extended-confirmed protection These 2 article were full protected indefinitely by User:Jenks24 (who is now inactive) in late November in an effort to stop edit warring and to resolve a long-running content dispute, but the effect of indefinite full protection has been to completely stop all discussion and improvements to both articles.

Declined for now - I going to decline this mostly since it's a talk page. I don't like protecting them unless it's a short period and the disruption is really heavy - and in this case the edits are spaced out far enough that a short period wouldn't do much. At the same time a long period is going a bit too far to stop a disruptive edit that happens once a month or so. Just revert it for now and re-list it here if the situation worsens.

Based on the comment left by the anon, "According to whom? YOU? One problem, that is YOUR opinion. If you do not agree with the sources, lump it. Because its going back. Again and again if need be.", I think the lock is in order, and the admin may want a word with the editor. And I will not be reverting the anon any further despite the editor ignoring WP:V and WP:RS.

Question: Have you asked the protecting admin, Ivanvector? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 17:42, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I protected in response to an ongoing copyright investigation over content that an editor kept reinserting. If that investigation has concluded and/or the editor has been blocked, there is no need for protection. I think it would be best to consult Dekimasu on that. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:47, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The editor has been blocked several times now. I did clear up the diffs, although remnants of the problem are still on the talk page. While I'd like to assume good faith, I note that the request for page protection to be lifted is from a new account with no edits except in relation to this article as well. Perhaps retaining the hurdle is not inappropriate. Dekimasuよ! 17:52, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Two uninvolved editors turned down extended-confirmed edit requests from this new editor, so I wonder if reducing the page protection will just prompt the addition of the edits to which the other editors objected. Dekimasuよ! 17:59, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite extended confirmed: Persistent vandalism – Recurrent vandalism by IPs and new accounts: permanent ECP looks like the appropriate cure. — JFG talk 10:12, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. We haven't really tried semiprotection yet, and AFAICT all of the latest edits would be caught by semi just fine. There were some honest to God content disputes that required full earlier, but for consistent vandalism this should be fine. It's what was largely discussed on the talkpage, anyway. One year should be long enough to see how persistent this will be. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 10:39, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Affirmative action

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – The lead in of this page seems to be constantly maliciously altered to say that affirmative action is either:

  • Designed to help groups currently disadvantaged/discriminated against, or
  • Designed to bolster some groups to the serious disadvantage of others.,or
  • Generic Vandalism

None of these claims is substantiated by the provided citations (oxford dictionary entry and official government archived page ).

User:-revi

Indefinite semi-protection: It's currently fully protected and I'd like to reduce the protection level so I can (legitimately) edit them. I'm not sure if user page is allowed to get an ExtendedConfirmed protection, so semi-protection should allow me to edit directly. (If extended confirmed sounds fine to you and enwiki practices, you can do it instead of semi. I expect vandalism to come if the page is left unprotected.). — regards, Revi 17:58, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Philo Farnsworth

Temporary semi-protection: For about three months, a dynamic-anon-IP WP:FRINGE editor has been making POV primary-source claims at odds with every published history of television. He's been asked to stop, at least three editors have reverted him, but he refuses to discuss. Today, just three days after a one-week protection ended, he was back to doing it, and an editor other than me reverted him. Behavior over the past three months indicates he will not stop, and a longer protection is requested.--Tenebrae (talk) 15:39, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to say that multiple incarnations/socks of this user have disruptively edited this page (specifically, added protection templates when the page hasn't been protected), and if it should be protected for any reason, it should be for sockpuppetry. Several other pages have been protected for the same reason and because of this same person (though for different types of edits/disruptions) – this person has turned into quite the serial pest. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 12:28, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Velupillai Prabhakaran

Semi-protection requested. My first; so not sure how long; a month? High level of IP and newbie-registered user (some now blocked) vandalism.

Reason: Prabhakaran is founder of the Tamil tigers, and this is a classic, "one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist"-type content dispute. There is persistent EW on describing him or the Tigers as "terrorist" (sometimes also vandalism about his gender or other details). How to describe the Tigers has been argued endlessly (see Archives 2 to 10 at Talk:LTTE). Consensus there is that the LTTE is a "Tamil militant organization" that "waged a secessionist nationalist insurgency," (thus neither "Freedom fighters" nor "terrorists.")

Mac Dreamstate regarding the email notification, I would suggest you contact WMF Support and Safety team and stewards immediately. — Maile (talk) 22:11, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Mac Dreamstate, the password reset attempt is common enough, it happens quite regularly to administrators, arbitrators, and functionaries when dealing with disgruntled users. So long as your password, and your email password is secure, there really isn't much to be worried about. I have gone ahead and semiprotected for three days in the mean time. --kelapstick(bainuu) 22:20, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mass killings under Communist regimes‎

I believe this should be asked at WP:AE, WP:AN or WP:ARCA since it's a discretionary sanction, but whatever the venue I don't think this is a good idea. Almost all editors who edited it before the lock would have been EC by present-day standards, so if their editing was unacceptable enough to merit a full protection then EC protection would be ineffective.

This article was temporarily locked, due to repeated vandalism. Now the lock has expired, and the same person is again putting inappropriate material into the article. I know exactly who is doing this (it's a long story), and I'm telling you, he WILL. NEVER. STOP. I'm willing to provide more details if necessary, but the bottom line is that this person will never stop vandalizing this article as long as it exists and he has access to do so. If the article is temporarily locked again, it will be vandalized once more the very day the lock expires, or very soon after. This cycle will not end as long as the article is freely editable.

List of the busiest airports in Europe

Collapse unseemly bickering, and a moment of clarity at the end

Continuous vandalism of this page by Kostja1975 with repeated removal of Spanish, Russian, Greek and Cypriot airports. Also vandalizing the long established lists from previous years and also deleting of said airports from them. Finally this person issues "warnings" to other members as if he is some kind of administrator of Wikipedia and threatens all contributors who object to his vandalism.Ian 1975 (talk) 18:56, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    • It's a blatant lie by the user, who in fact, is removing the airports from the rating, which is evident to everyone by looking at the revision history [[74]] kostja1975
    • Deleting of said airports from lists was done half a year ago. I did the recent removal of Asian and African airports, not Kostja1975. --Germash19 (talk) 22:05, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stop your lying Kostja1975, your jig is up. YOU have been vandalizing this entry for weeks. In the talk page [1] you are being refuted constantly but you continue with your removal of European airports from the list! You may want to believe that Spanish, Greek and Cypriot airports are not European but that wont change reality. So stop vandalizing this long established lists and try to be a constructive user. Also stop threatening me and other users with "warnings" first, final or otherwise. Ian 1975 (talk) 19:35, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    • Stop your lying please. It's not funny at all. Please show me at least one example where I deleted a Spanish, Greek and Cypriot airport??? kostja1975
      • I want also Admins to interfere in this particular issue. Ian 1975 is claiming, I deleted the European (Spanish, Greek and Cypriot airport) but in fact, it's a blatant lie and insult for me because at contrary I restore the deleted airports from the rating every time after vandalism. (see the revision history - [[75]] kostja1975
  • @Kostja1975 You are not fooling anyone mate. You are deleting said airports almost twice a day for the last few days! Like a petulant child you are reacting to the (correct) deletion of Turkish airports being in Asia Minor by deleting airports of European countries and (falsely) claiming that they are in Asia or Africa such as Sochi, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Larnaca, Fuerteventura Airport, Lanzarote and Rhodes. Also. stop threatening users with warnings both in their user page and on the entry's editing page. You are not an administrator of Wikipedia and you do not get to warn, punish or ban any user other than yourself! Ian 1975 (talk) 20:35, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • I ask Admins to consider the above statement by Ian 1975 as an attempt to fool you. @Ian 1975 You are a liar. I asked you to show at least one example, where I deleted a Turkish, Spanish, Greek, Cypriot or Russian airport. You are unable to do it because on contrary I always restore removed airports back to the rating. Your lie is evident to anyone looking to the revision history.
  • Stop digging while in a hole kostja1975. What has been this entry's longstanding form and which airports are included to it has been settled for years now. Your arguing with reality and ignorance about the matter will not change that. Thankfully the revision history clearly demonstrates your constant deletion of Spanish, Greek, Russian and Cypriot airports as well as your general vandalism of this entry. Also stop threatening other users with "warnings". You do not get to "warn", punish or ban any user. Ian 1975 (talk) 21:22, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism and edit wars by various IP users and Ian 1975. Requested by Kostja1975 (talk) 18:23, 21 March 2018 (UTC) Some background: From the inception of article List of the busiest airports in Europe, European airports were defined as those that are within the airspace of the member and candidate states of the Council of Europe because geographical boundaries between Europe and Asia are debatable. See the original ratings for 2010-2016 before recent edits by some IP users). However, Ian 1975 removes the reference to the Council of Europe criteria and other IP users start edit wars removing airports which they don't like from the rating for 2017 or add/remove them according to their (often poor) knowledge of Europe's geography. pp-vandalism template was already added once by Ferret on February 24. However, edit wars started again after its expiry on March, 8. Please re-add pp-vandalism template again and warn Ian 1975 for disruptive editing. Thank you. kostja1975[reply]

Not true. From the inception of article (since 2006) was announced that it is «list of airports in Europe» (not Council of Europe). from the word Europe has always been a reference to an article about it. From 2009 to 2017 there was also a text about the Council of Europe. These are different concepts, they contradict each other. In the summer of 2017 this ambiguity has been removed. --Germash19 (talk) 22:33, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disneyland Railroad

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. This featured article and some similar articles in the past have been victims of persistent disruptive editing, and many of the IPs responsible are based in the same spot in South Carolina, which suggests that they are all the same person. Due to a recent series of edits to this article in which this person appears to be using multiple IPs to make it more difficult to use the rollback function, I have opened a sockpuppet investigation, but it may not do much good. Given the persistence of this disruptive editor, and the fact that this article has been semi-protected in the past ( the most recent being for two months), I suggest indefinite semi-protection be applied to this article. Jackdude101 talk cont 11:52, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done It's just the one editor, right? And it's fairly recent; nearly all the edits for months have been you. An IP not using what you consider a reliable source should be met with civil discussion on the user's talkpage (as you've done) and the talkpage of the article in question, not by immediately locking down the article. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 19:11, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done First off, as this page instructs, you should first ask Oshwah, the protecting sysop, before posting here. That being said, it was fully protected less than 12 hours ago because editors were edit warring, yourself included. I see no indication you or any other editors have attempted to discuss the dispute, on the talkpage or elsewhere. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:19, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Amorymeltzer said here exactly what I would have also said - the article is fully protected due to being the subject of ongoing edit wars and content disputes. Full protection isn't meant to "make people take a break", sit around, and then resume where they left off as if nothing happened when it expies - it's designed to stop the disruption and to direct all users involved to discuss the issues and resolve them. No discussions or efforts to collaborate or resolve these disputes have occurred at all. Until this has been done and a consensus reached, the article will protection not be changed or removed early. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:25, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of Formula One driver records

Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – I just want to reiterate what was requested here before. Yes it is encouraged for other users to update, but most of the time it isn't complete. Some only update a specific racer, others only update one entry on a table instead of the whole table. That's why I'm requesting for PC, not a semi-, so that IP's can still help in updating, but it needs to be reviewed first to avoid clutter or inconsistencies. Protection until the last race would be great (like last year's duration). Babymissfortune 08:08, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Runwala

Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – I can't understand it is clearly written in the google book that "Runwala" claim to be Rohilla Rajputs but it is contentious whether they are really or not. There is very famous Muslim ethnic group called "Rohilla", same name also exists in Hindu ethnic group, Isn't it unfair to not give latter a place on wiki. The famous book already referred here says"They were actually the Rohilas", the well known warrior group. Shouldn't page title be "Rohila (Hindu)" instead of the corrupt name "Runwala" (It is a small lineage not a full ethnic group). utcursch has linked them with "Rohilla (Muslim)", How can one change religion of two same name ethnic groups? . hey_pal (Friend.hey)(talk) 18:28, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's you who has been making disruptive edits by adding fake citations, as I've explained on the talk page. You didn't even respond to that discussion, and instead tag bombed the article. utcursch | talk 18:33, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ATP World Tour records

Indefinite semi-protection: this page has been temporarily semi-protected in the past, however a lot of different IP users who are fanboys of certain players always wanted to lower the consensus requirement needed for the record so their favorite player can be on the list, and this has been a persisting problem ever since the creation of the page. So a lot of frequent contributors agreed recently that further action is needed to put this problem to an end, as the most recent case (109.252.80.112) has been warned repeatedly, both on the talk page and edit summary by multiple different editors including myself, to no avail. Or an alternative solution would be to ban this user, as there is already a warning for ban on the user's talk page, whichever one the admins deem fit.

Is requesting page protection every time an article's content is editted against Turtlewong's POV, a case of editting without good faith? This is problematic always calling one revert as persistent vandalism, instead of discussing which has been posted on the Amhara people talkpage? Turtlewong why not discuss first?

User talk:CommotioCerebri

Semi-protection: This was once the talk page of a very persistent wikistalker. All but 12 of their contributions were wikistalking. They were eventually indefinitely blocked. But prior to that block, they made a request for WP:Courtesy renaming. Even though courtesy renmaing is only supposed to be open to good faith contributors, the administrator who responded to their request did agree to give them a courtesy renaming.

The second paragraph of WP:Courtesy renaming explicitly says: "It is not a way to avoid scrutiny or sanctions. It is not a fresh start and does not guarantee anonymity."

Some of the articles I have worked on have been controversial. Consequently, I find myself the target of far more than my share of POV-pushing vandals and sockpuppets. Checking the contribution history of earlier wikistalkers is important for me.

The individual who keeps returning to obfuscate this link is violating their indefinite block, by doing so. Further, their obfuscation flies in the face of the explicit wording of the courtesy renaming page. Geo Swan (talk) 17:00, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of the busiest airports in Europe

Semi-protection: Persistent edit wars due to removal of the criteria which airports should belong to the rating. Requested by Kostja1975 (talk) 09:31, 27 March 2018. Some background: the article List of the busiest airports in Europe existed since 2006 until 2010 without a criterai. Then in 2010 a clear criteria was found: European airports were defined as those that are within the airspace of the member and candidate states of the Council of Europe because geographical boundaries between Europe and Asia are debatable. See the original ratings for 2010-2016 before recent edits by some IP users). However, aafter a user removed the reference to the Council of Europe criteria in late 2017, some IP-users started edit wars removing airports which they don't like from the rating for 2017 or add/remove them according to their (often poor) knowledge of Europe's geography. pp-vandalism template was already added once by Ferret on February 24. However, edit wars started again after its expiry on March, 8. No consesnus or a new criteria has been found the Talk section. My suggestion: Please re-add pp-vandalism template for the introductive section of the article, which clearly states: "European airports were defined as those that are within the airspace of the member and candidate states of the Council of Europe". Without the clearly criteria it's now absolutely impossible to maintain the actuality of the data in the article due to daily edit wars. Thank you. kostja1975

  • Comment from the request's originator: This time only a protection for the introduction section with the clear criteria is requested. kostja1975 10:01, 27 March 2018.
Note: You appear to be asking us to take sides in a content dispute. That is going to have to be resolved on the article talk page. In any case, it’s not possible to apply protection to a section of a page, it’s the whole page or nothing. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 19:08, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment from the request's originator: There was already a solution! The only period when the article existed without any edit wars was the period from late 2009 to 2017, when the "Council of Europe" criteria was there. I believe, from the article talk page it is clear that no other solution can be found. Especially given the fact that many IP-user do not care about any solutions at all. kostja1975 20:13, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I agree with Malcolmxl5 above - this is a content dispute and this needs to be sorted out on the article's talk page. Blocks have been previously handed our for edit warring here, yet the disruption seems to continue. I've also had my attention drawn to this article quite frequently over the last week or so due to the high level of disruption and edit warring going on - this has been going on for long enough and it has to stop. I am applying full protection to this article. Applying anything lower than full protection would be unfair and give advantage to editors with accounts and longer tenure here, and it's clear that all users involved need to stop and discuss the issue. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:40, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WWE Greatest Royal Rumble

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Preferably due to the volume for 30 days, which would take us until the event occurs. GalatzTalk 17:24, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question: There appear to be a number of good IP/new accounts edits as well? More than vandalism? I can't quite make heads or tails, it's been very rapid though. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 21:49, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Almost all of the IP edits have been just entering random names. Without knowing about the event, I can see it being confusing. We at one point had a Triple H vs Osama Bin Laden match listed, that one is obvious. - GalatzTalk 13:31, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just for some context, here are some (not all) of the random IP vandalism edits in the past 15 hours. This edit [80] appears reasonable, but the matches are all just made up, and some such as Bobby Lashley are not even signed by the WWE. This edit [81] just randomly removed a sourced match. This edit [82] added the Gobbedly Gooker which was a mascot used for about a month 20 years ago. This edit [83] changed the number of people, even though 50 is clearly sourced and mentioned multiple times throughout the article. This edit [84] again could look realistic, all names are actually in the WWE, but the matches are made up and the champions listed don't actually hold those titles (they are fighting for them next month, a few weeks before this event). This edit [85] is pretty self explanatory, I do not believe Theresa May is flying to Saudi Arabia to wrestle for the WWE. - GalatzTalk 15:55, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I want the page protected until this is resolved one way or another, thank you. ~~Kirbanzo (talk) 18:32, 26 March 2018 (UTC) ~~: The reversion was of negative material to a source that does not actually mention the page subject. This material was added by an SPA that also added replicated content to another page, again inappropriately. I am merely reverting a section that does not belong here and is a violation of WP:BLP, as the content is controversial and not sourced proprely. The nom here is just trying to get his way and has been edit-warring over it.

Template:WikiProject Psychology

A psychometrics task force was recently created within Wikiproject psychology, but it apparently isn't possible to tag articles within the task force's scope unless this template is edited so that it can include the relevant tag. Discussion about the need for this template to be edited is here. I'm making this request here instead of the template talk page because I'm not clear on the precise nature of the edit that needs to be made, so one of the things I'm requesting is for an admin to examine the template and determine that. --Captain Occam (talk) 19:13, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nathan Bruckenthal

Semi-protection: I am currently being wikihounded by some individuals who have been indefinitely blocked -- that didn't stop their harassment. A week or two ago they kept making counter-policy reversions of my edits at Florin Fodor. Today it is Nathan Bruckenthal.

Our policy on redlinks explicitly says that redlinks to topics that are likely to become articles should be left as-is, not unlinked. Nevertheless three different IPs (69.159.64.249, 2605:8d80:6a0:625e:c530:c482:b6bf:8a1e, 2605:8d80:5a2:fa84:619b:138:6f90:17b3) have unlinked a link I added: [91], [92], [93].

Both of my two most recent wikihounders use edit summaries that give the surface appearance of being meaningful at first glance, only becoming patent nonsense if you give them a moment's reflection. And these IPs have used this technique.

So, I request semi-protection. Geo Swan (talk) 03:57, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
