Indian Singaporeans

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There has been a persistent amount of vandalism, defacement, and content blanking from Indian and other non-Singaporean IP addresses. It is getting increasingly tiresome to deal with. One example of where this frequently happens is the ethno-linguistic profile section. The data in the table is lifted from the Singapore government's official census, but we commonly have trolls and agenda-driven editors with their IP addresses visible replacing official stats with their own spurious stats in other to further random ethnonationalistic agendas that have no place on a Singapore Wikiproject article. It then becomes a constant tussle between established editors and random IP accounts, which takes time away from more important edits. I would appreciate it if this article could be indefinitely protected to keep the IP address accounts at bay. I am unsure as to which level of protection would be appropriate, and shall leave that to the admin's discretion. Thank you!. Tiger7253 (talk) 18:13, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – A long history of dynamic IP edits which change the player's role to the unsupported by source "Bowling all-rounder".

Disruptive edits generally come in waves - so most recently, 18 December and 4 January. Page was temp sp from 22 August which helped a little and is worth trying again - on that occasion the talk page also ended up needing to be protected but I'd rather attempt to discuss the issues with this if possible.

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Medicine-related articles

Reduce to semi-protection, same as other MoS pages, or at least to template-editor protection for trusted gnomes. This was full-protected by Barkeep49 pending the outcome of an RfC on some line-item in the guideline. A now-calm dispute about that particular micro-topic isn't a good reason to protect the entire page, ongoing. The very fact that there's an open RfC about that matter indicates that things have progressed from two-editor editwarring (which I assume must have been happening at some point) to a business-as-usual consensus discussion. Ergo, no full protection is still warranted. The protection is preventing me from doing routine maintenance.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  10:07, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll let Barkeep chime in, but I would downgrade to semi-protection. Editors should now be able to discuss contructively after the short time-out which has been provided. Lectonar (talk) 10:51, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say since there was no protection before the full protection, there's no need to add semi protection afterwards, just because the page was fully protected. Galobtter (pingó mió) 11:12, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't mean that; rather, our guidelines and policies often have semi-protection to thwart frequent drive-by vandalism and "cluebag" changes. It's not common that an anon has sufficient WP:Policy writing is hard community experience to contribute meaningfully to P&G pages, and when they do they can do it via proposals on the talk page (which is how such pages should usually be edited anyway – after consensus is reached to make the changes). When it comes to routine gnoming, anons are already used to being barred from performing such edits on a zillion pages with one protection level or another. That said, not every MoS page has semi-protection (e.g. MOS:CAPS doesn't). It's not essential; my point was I wouldn't have objected to it, just to full protection.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  11:38, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The chronic longterm editwarring, going back years, involves multiple issues. One of which is at RfC now, one of which (the larger of which in my evaluation) is moving towards but not yet at RfC. As this disagreement involves multiple editors all of who qualify for even ECP, I placed the page under full protection. The dispute is anything but calm at least judging by the angry messages about the dispute on my user talk. So that's my perspective. If Galobtter, Lectonar or some other sysop feel that full protection is not the right level of protection at this moment I would not consider it reversing my administrative action to lower the protection but think semi- or extended don't make sense for this situation. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:55, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with User:Barkeep49's view. Given the intensity of the dispute, it does not seem excessive to keep the MOS page under full protection. Since 2 January about 140,000 bytes of discussion have been added to Talk. The entire talk page at WT:MOSMED is now twice the size of ANI. EdJohnston (talk) 23:13, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – For some joke, someone was on Twitter to mess up the work we voluntarily do here https://twitter.com/AmeyD1988/status/1214481146571943936. Besides, this is a country's Wikipedia page, it should be protected just as that of the US without double standards — it is exposed to testers and jokers. Danidamiobi (talk) 10:46, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @Danidamiobi: - currently only one IP editor has vandalised it in the last 6 days. In any case, we only use the minimum protection level needed - so purely IP vandalism could be stopped with semi-protect. The USA article is only Semiprotected, and that's because it's constantly vandalised, not a "all country articles are protected" viewpoint.

@Buidhe: why would the disambiguation page in mainspace be disruptive? Lectonar (talk) 07:45, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Lectonar Buidhe, It should be deleted under G14 because it only contains one page. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 07:50, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Lectonar, per WP:Disambiguation there should not be redlinks on a disambiguation page and there is no need for disambiguation page unless multiple items are bluelinked. The last time I saw the article there was only one bluelink. Initially it was rejected as a set index article without any citations. What is troublesome is when a user tries to ignore multiple NPPs who draftify because an article does not meet our standards, it is disruptive because it creates extra work for us and you. buidhe 07:53, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This strikes me as unnecessary bureauwonkery here, as this is a page that will assuredly be filled. I do not think the spirit of G14 were pages like that, but disambiguation-pages which have stayed with only one bluelink for a long time, and probably will never be filled. If any admin wants to protect here, go right ahead. I just aasked :). Lectonar (talk) 07:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Unit388/popups.js (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

At present a comment on line 7031 is inadvertently putting this script from 2015 in Category:Foo in breach of WP:REDNOT. The user has not edited since 2017 and has not responded to a talk page message. Could someone with the power to edit scripts just add two colons to change [[category:foo]] and [[Category:Foo]] to [[:category:foo]] and [[:Category:Foo]] which should hopefully fix it (and get us one small step towards finally clearing the backlog at Wikipedia:Database reports/Red-linked categories with incoming links <g>). Since it's part of a comment it should have not effect on the working of the code. TIA Le Deluge (talk) 14:17, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Enterprisey: Would you please look at this. It is pretty clear that User:Unit388/popups.js is an obsolete copy from somewhere, and is similar to User:Enterprisey/popups.js. I would be inclined to simply delete this page but that might be out of order, in which case would you please edit it to remove the category. Or blank the page (I hate duplicate code!)? Johnuniq (talk) 06:55, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Done, and thanks for letting me know. I figured just adding the colons was the least invasive solution, as we don't really have a policy yet for this sort of case. Enterprisey (talk!) 07:18, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also List of notable scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming, List of scientists skeptical about global warming, List of scientists opposing the IPCC scientific assessment of global warming, List of scientists opposing the mainstream assessment of global warming, and List of living scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming. ミラP 17:07, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's quite a muddled history, but most of those were just folks moving the page(s) around without consensus, yeah? Doesn't seem like there's been a great rush to disrupt using these titles. I could see doing the title page here (List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming) just given the long history, but I don't see a huge need for the other five. We don't regularly protect former redirects to every salted page unless there's a reason or evidence they've been abused as well. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 19:58, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This page has been semi-protected for nine years. Please consider unprotection as a trial. After such a long period the editorial dynamics will undoubtedly have changed for this article. I would like to carry out some copy editing. The original protecting admin is now only intermittently active, but has responded negatively to my request. His rationale for maintaining protection seems to amount to preemptive protection as a result of the current geo-political situation in the US. See the Talk:Kiev#Article protection discussion, and my request to the protecting admin at User talk:Horologium#Unprotect. Thanks. 31.52.163.22 (talk) 21:29, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. Interesting. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia community building the world's largest free content encyclopedia.. You see yourself as an outsider? And no, the disruption on that page is unlikely to end any time soon.-- Deepfriedokra 10:19, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Disruption on the page? Well there hasn't been any disruption by IP editors for nine years. As for permanent SP, it strikes right at the heart of one of Jimbo's founding principles. I'm not an outsider, I've had an account since 2004. At the moment I'm working away from home on a shared computer, so I don't log on. 31.52.163.22 (talk) 10:38, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was the choice of personal pronoun that confused me. 'What a stubborn bunch of bastards you are. (emphasis added). In my case, an accident of birth.

Shaheer Sheikh and Rhea Sharma play the leads in the series while Rithvik Arora and Kaveri Priyam play parallel lead/pivotal role which is also cited by reliable sources. But there is a edit war going on since long time placing Arora and Priyam also as the main leads of the series.

Note: This has been going on long enough that I suspect SP would be ineffectual. Far more inclined to block the edit warriors . -- Deepfriedokra 17:08, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of active separatist movements in Europe

Semi-protection: The topic itself is very sensible, this was always the case. But now out of sudden some users started to abuse this list for promoting irredentism. Even the talk page, which was always used many months ago - is no longer in use. I even worry that we are even having troubles with some sockpuppets. It is finally the time to intervene. Some individuals are trying to make it look like, entire countries are about to collapse. This list had many problematic sections, I know, but it was still under control - until now. I kindly ask the administrators to protect this page, so we let this cool down a bit, look up the sources and finally fix this very problematic list. Koreanovsky (talk) 14:08, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. @Koreanovsky: semi-protection is more or less only effective when IPs or very new accounts disrupt an article. The last edit by an IP which could be called disruptive was about 2 days ago; since then, you have been virtually the only one editing. Even before that, not many IPs have been editing disruptively. I do not think the problems of this article can be solved by protecting it, but only by using the talk-page, hash things out and ultimately form consensus.

Question: @Ajf773: I can see it is frustrating but the IP had an edit summary with "Destination edits follow WP:Airports guidelines". If there was something on talk that explained why that is incorrect and why the edit is a problem, I would protect. How is it known the edits are disruptive? Johnuniq (talk) 00:17, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The IP is edit warring and not using the Talk page to discuss the matter with other experienced users. Ajf773 (talk) 01:11, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Declined @Ajf773: Sure, but established editors are doing the same (the last edit at talk was 1 December 2016) and someone such as myself with no knowledge of the area cannot see a reason to revert the IP other than claims of sockpuppetry. That may well be true, but there needs to be some evidence an admin can easily follow (such as a diff of a blocked sock making the same edit) before they can take action. The IP's edit is not vandalism and they gave the reason I mentioned in an edit summary and I see no refutation. Johnuniq (talk) 05:57, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Olentangy Orange High School

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Requesting WP:XCON for the this version of the article to prevent any further edit warring over a content dispute involving multiple editors. The primary source for the disruption appears to be some recently created SPAs/new accounts and an expansion of the article they're trying to make, but there maight also be some WP:MEAT involved. Anyway, an attempt to reach out to them has been made on the article's talk page; so, perhaps protecting the page will be unnecessary; at the same time, however, it may encourage all involved to try and resolve their disagreement through discussion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:00, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2020 World Rally Championship-3

Temporary semi-protection: an IP editor keeps adding content to the article without understanding the source (their source is good for an individual event, but the article is for an entire championship). These were made in good faith to begin with, but now it is just sheer stubbornness. I put in an RfP last night for the same issue and the IP in question was blocked. Not sure if this is the same IP, but the issue is presenting the same way. Mclarenfan17 (talk) 13:37, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MelanieN: I verified all ip edits recently. None of them are constructive. One of them blatantly blanking section without purpose other than vandalism. Matthew hk (talk) 09:39, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, Matthew hk, as a non-expert in this area, I can only judge whether an IP edit was constructive or not by whether another editor reverts it. It looked to me as if many, possibly a majority, of recent (last day or two) IP edits were not getting reverted, so I assumed those edits were constructive. Any other admin with more familiarity with the area is welcome to overrule me and install whatever protection is necessary. Or you, Matthew, are welcome to file another request if the problem you identify continues. -- MelanieN (talk) 16:31, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well those ip were from the same ISP from that adding hoax player transfer such as Bafétimbi Gomis, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and etc, in which such sport news should be readily available in the web for a Indian Super League team. Adding unsourced transfer for the first time should be AGF, but not the fifth time with that look like hoax in any way. Matthew hk (talk) 16:55, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppression

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent disruption. TheAwesomeHwyh 19:40, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question: @TheAwesomeHwyh: Sorry but this is hard for an uninvolved admin to evaluate. There is nothing relevant to gender/sex on the talk page or its one archive. Is there a discussion somewhere? @Flyer22 Reborn: I see a claim about consensus to use "gender"—do you know where that might be? Johnuniq (talk) 00:28, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, and I saw this dispute via WP:Huggle, but I decided to stay out of it. Because "sex" can refer to sexual activity, I can see why one would want to use "gender" instead. But "sex-based oppression" is more accurate. Maybe Printfn (talk · contribs) can point to the consensus discussion since Printfn is arguing consensus for "gender." Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 00:33, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Looking over it a few hours later, it seems to have cooled down and I don't see much actionable here. The edits had been going on for a few hours when I saw it happening but they've stopped now. Sorry about this. TheAwesomeHwyh 01:13, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question: @Barkeep49: Sorry but further information would be needed to justify creation-protecting that page. Is there a discussion somewhere? Johnuniq (talk) 00:23, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Johnuniq, so it's not just straight forward which I acknowledge. Under WP:BMB restoring the redirect is the appropriate response (rather than G5) in my opinion. If this had been repatedly G5'ed I would hope that under WP:SALT it would be protected. However just because there's been an ATD shouldn't mean we can't apply approprite protection. But I will understand if it's declined. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:32, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected @Barkeep49: I indefinitely semi-protected after seeing LTA evidence at fr:Wikipedia:Faux-nez/Correcteur21. Let me know if the semi-prot is insufficient.

  • There is no longer dispute/move warring about the name since a Disney spokesman confirmed to NYT that "20th Century Studios" and "Searchlight Pictures" are already the official names. If a company is renamed and the new names are confirmed to be effective by both the primary source and top reliable secondary sources... what is the rationale of preventing the company article from being moved? You can't use WP:COMMONNAME to justify keeping the old name. So, why would the move be prevented just to keep one editor's preferred branding? Starforce13 05:18, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Like RTRC does (Special:BlankPage/RTRC). It would mean that no user could edit it. However, I do see that unless you have the script installed it won't display anything. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 01:03, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would possibly endorse protection, if the notice was wanted by the user. My other thought of using a .js or .css subpage wouldn't allow for the banner to show. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 01:07, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Declined @Moonythedwarf: I don't see mention of a discussion or an explanation. This page is not a good place for a novel proposal to pre-emptively protect a page that appears to be blank. Please ask for suggestions at WP:VPT where there are plenty of admins who can protect the page if considered desirable.

Note: This may need to be looked at by someone familiar with the subject. Ad Orientem (talk) 21:15, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: The main recent problem was repeated removal of controversial but well-sourced information by a single editor. I have issued that editor a final warning. Aside from that, there is very heavy editing by many IPs and new users, and much of it appears to me to be constructive. So I am not imposing protection, but will defer that decision to someone who understands the issues better than I do. @Titodutta and Vanamonde93: Any thoughts? -- MelanieN (talk) 01:54, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MelanieN: In your place I would not impose a restriction at the moment, because as you note, there are constructive IP contributions as well as unconstructive contributions by autoconfirmed editors.

@MelanieN: The template has also been subject to IP socking (along with the socks) continuously for the last year, all the recent IP edits you see belong the same sockpuppeteer. Please reconsider and protect that page, its tiring for editors to continuously deal with the same thing repeatedly, the last protection was brief as well and we ended with up with the same thing. Gotitbro (talk) 02:44, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MelanieN: I suggest the same two months semi as above to discourage the sock who inevitably will try again. Johnuniq (talk) 02:57, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, Johnuniq, the sock had been focusing all their attention on the Urdu template, so that a 2-month protection on that one was clearly justified. But looking at the history of this template, it's hard to see "persistent long term" sockpuppetry; the acute problem at this Hindi template began on December 17. This template received only three sock edits in the month since the previous protection expired, and the most recent was 10 days ago. Furthermore, the sock who was editing here was auto-confirmed, so semi-protection would not have helped. Given all that, I found it hard to justify protection for this one. But I will go ahead and impose it based on your recommendation. -- MelanieN (talk) 03:11, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DerekHistorian has a clear and persistent record of warring over original research, as reflected on the talk page at Talk:Mongoloid (see Finns and Sami section), where he is now going against consensus by adding falsified POV based on a white supremacist's fallacious article about Y-DNA origins.Hunan201p (talk) 17:46, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mongoloid

Full protection: I am requesting full indefinate protection to the Mongoloid article as it existed on 17:16, 20 January 2020. A user named DerekHistorian has attempted to salvage the "Finns and Sami" section of the article, which was purely original research, as none of the references cited ever supported the statements in the Wikipedia article. Specifically, no reference says that the Y-DNA Haplogroup N is Mongoloid. In his first attempt to salvage the article, DerekHistorian cited a racist article by Mankind Quarterly author Edward Dutton, which has been shown in the talk page to misrepresent references that it cites. Consensus already existed since 2019 to neutralize the page, as reflected in the "Mongoloid admixture?!" section of the talk:Mongoloid talk page. He is now accusing prominent and respected editors like User:Ermenrich of "bias" and claiming that he is justified in restoring the fallacious original research because "the entire article is racist anyway". It's clearly impossible to get him to reason with anyone and so this page needs indefinate protection. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hunan201p (talk • contribs) 18:03, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Race and intelligence

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – There is an active IP on this page that User:Doug Weller is trying to warn about discretionary sanctions. However, there is evidence that this IP is likely a sockpuppet of a banned user (including location evidence and language evidence). I don't know if I can file an WP:SPI since the rules on WP:OUTING are a bit ambiguous, but it dawns on me that semi-protection for this contention page may be advisable to prevent disruption. jps (talk) 12:11, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: If it is sockpuppetry, it would really be better dealt with by an SPI. But let's see how the threat of discretionary sacntions works out. I would not protect the talk-page yet, as we are still at the point where people talk to each other. Any other admin who sees a need to protect: go right ahead. Lectonar (talk) 12:33, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
How does one file an SPI about an IP while keeping WP:OUTING respected? jps (talk) 15:22, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Let's quote the hatnote of WP:SPI: "...if you need to submit off-wiki evidence for some other reason, you must email the CheckUser team to open an investigation. Private information, emails, logs, and other sensitive evidence must not be posted on Wikipedia. All evidence related to a sockpuppet investigation must otherwise be posted on the designated page." Lectonar (talk) 06:36, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Declined. Protection, particularly on talk pages, is for disruption or vandalism, and this IP's editing isn't disruptive; it is participating in discussion. If they turn out to be a sock puppet they can be blocked (more likely rangeblocked since it is a shifting IPv6), but that is a separate issue from protection.

Temporary create protection: Repeatedly recreated – Article has been created several times recently, including twice by members of a sockfarm (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Billphil1). As such, the title should be temporarily salted to allow for proper vetting of the topic and to prevent further abuse. SamHolt6 (talk) 01:58, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SamHolt6: It looks like it's only been created twice in the past couple of days, and then once around six months ago? The history is a little jumbled from the moves. GorillaWarfare (talk) 02:14, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Now that the drafts have been merged, I can see that the topic has been created three times - once in the draftspace (later declined by an AfC reviewer) by User:Popculturegirl in July and twice in the mainspace by the Billphil1 sockfarm this January. I will re-firm my support for salting the topic, as the article has been created in the mainspace twice in the last week by a sockfarm tied to undisclosed paid editing. The topic remains in the draftspace, and if AfC reviewers deem the topic notable then an admin can be contacted to move the article to the mainspace. SamHolt6 (talk) 02:33, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm personally not keen on salting a topic that's only been created twice in recent history, but I'll leave this open in case another admin wandering by feels differently. GorillaWarfare (talk) 02:41, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Creation protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I'm going to take the unusual step of a time-limited create protection, based on the fact that the recreations were very recent and by a sockfarm. This stops the recreation temporarily, while giving time for the subject to be evaluated in draft space, and if accepted moved to mainspace without needing to go through the hoops of unsalting. MelanieN (talk) 16:57, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
MelanieN, I'm not sure if there's a "requests for page protection stalker" template, but just wanted to say I 👍 Like this time-limited rationale to creation protection. A functional exemplification of the guideline that Wikipedia is notionally not a bureaucracy, as I agree that there are consensus hoops to jump through to remove creation protection.

Indefinite semi-protection: BLP policy violations – This page is already pending changes protected. This has not prevented editors from adding serious BLP violations which I cannot discuss publicly. You will notice in the past month the article has required several suppressing action from the oversight team. As one of the most public figures in the impeachment trial of Donald Trump, this vandalism is not going to stop any time soon. It will also likely continue in the next several years. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 14:58, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I'm not comfortable with indef. The current political season will eventually pass, and I'd like for people to be able to assess this from a historical perspective when that happens.

Wild haggis

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Almost the entire edit history of this article consists of one IP or another removing the word "fictional" from the first sentence, followed by another user reverting it. If not that, some other IP vandalism; the article seems to be a magnet for this. Of the last 250 edits, 79 indicate from their edit summary that they are reverting an edit or series of edits by an IP or new user - all that I checked were vandalous. As this means one or more vandalous edit, followed by a reversion, that totals at the very least 158 edits, and in all likelihood closer to or over 200, regarding vandalism that could have been avoided by semi-protection. Many more summaries (at least 20?) are connected with related page protection matters. This is not something that is going to go away with another temporary protection.

Dear admins: Perhaps the main reason why it hung around for so many years between creations is because it took us so many years to finally delete the article after its third creation. It's a small for-profit school, of questionable quality, which might never become notable. But I think it's quite possible that (now that the article has been deleted) the owner will eventually notice and create the article a fourth time. Which (like for any non-notable school) might force yet another long and time-consuming AfD debate. Any thoughts? Kind regards, —Unforgettableid (talk) 03:26, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, I am asking for the current protection to be reduced time-wise, not sure why it's currently set until June 2020. Secondly, not sure why move protection is set for admin only, since there hasn't been any move vandalism as best as I can tell and I tried to do an advanced page move but wasn't able to do it. So I think an autoconfirmed page protection for maybe a week or so more until the new name change news dies down would be appropriate, and maybe a page move for either autoconfirmed or page-mover if you can do that in the system would work.

@MelanieN: Look even if you don't believe it, an IP removed the year of birth because it did not indicate the references and even so, users have long guessed the age of the Japanese voice actors, I also do not think they get their own data in the search for Google, Ann, MyAnimeList and IMDb to re-add it again. MelanieN does not believe that it will change the Extended confirmed for 1 year so that the IPs and users will edit again, thanks. 148.0.126.176 (talk) 02:34, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly, there are quite a lot of other user and user_talk subpages which are merely redirects. WP:UPROT says "may be protected upon a request from the user, as long as a need exists—pages in user space should not be automatically or pre-emptively protected." and I do not see evidence of vandalism which at any rate would need to be sustained to warrant protection.

List of Andrew Yang 2020 presidential campaign endorsements

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent IP edits and reversions that ignore WP:ERFC. Global Cerebral Ischemia (talk) 22:21, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Might as well consider adding semi-protection to the rest of the candidates' pages as well. It's worth noting that some of the pages have extremely high volumes of edits. For example, just take a look at the page history of List of Elizabeth Warren 2020 presidential campaign endorsements. Removing poorly sourced entries is becoming a chore. Bobbychan193 (talk) 04:58, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: At the moment I would protect neither, because I see no real vandalism or too much disruption. I see disagreements about sources. And yes, I see a high level of edits by IPs (those are valued editors too, just as a reminder) which is to be expected, and indeed something we want. Not everyone knows about our sometimes rather byzantine policies. If another admin sees a need to protect: go right ahead. Lectonar (talk) 09:07, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Even though I can understand either side as pointed out by Global Cerebral Ischemia and Lectonar, I do think that semi-protecting all democratic primary candidates' pages will reduce the number of deletion/trash-adding wars. Of course we need to value IP editors but I'd prefer slowly changing but reliable Wikipedia pages over high volumes of edits. If the endorsements are real and publicly known, they will appear on Wikipedia eventually anyway. But if it's the case for Andrew Yang's page then I do think all other pages should be treated equally since all pages face similar issues. After all, politics is a sensitive topic with a lot of people being engaged. Stoepkrijtske (talk) 16:14, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Also, the suggestion that "we should semi-protect them all" is directly contradictory to Wikipedia policy. See the lead-in to our policy page on the subject: "Wikipedia is built around/with the principle that anyone can edit it, and it therefore aims to have as many of its pages as possible open for public editing so that anyone can add material and correct errors. However, in some particular circumstances, because of a specifically identified likelihood of damage resulting if editing is left open, some individual pages may need to be subject to technical restrictions (often only temporary but sometimes indefinitely) on who is permitted to modify them." We even have a templated response to such suggestions: Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. We protect only when necessary for that particular page, and for as short a time as seems reasonable.  MelanieN (talk) 04:14, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP on a rampage. Actually I'm changing my mind.

@El C, Acroterion, and EvergreenFir: What should occur at #Current requests for reduction in protection level below?

Don't it's exist a protection that allow everyone that have an account ? Just to block peoples with ip's ? We can talk to account, even unexperenced but not really with ip's, specially thoses that get ip dynamically. That's my suggestion. --Eric1212 (talk) 02:48, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It was semi-protected. I removed it after editors expressed confidence that it could be dealt with by the editors working on the article. Nobody will be completely happy either way, but it appears that bad edits are being handled without protection, and the few really malicious edits can be dealt with via blocks. Acroterion (talk) 02:59, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The past protection was blocking both ip and unexperenced accounts. I was suggesting to block just ip. Following the edit, i think most "bad" edits are mistaked of understanding source. A protection regarding only ip would allow to get contributors knowing what they do and how to not repeat it in the future. But yes, we have a really fast paced situation there, data are nearly following a fibonacci curve... I think we all should expect mistakes, low sourced data and some troll inbetween and keep that in mind during next months. --Eric1212 (talk) 03:18, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We cannot just stop IP editing without stopping new accounts. Anyway the page is closely monitored so mistakes, poor editing and misunderstandings do not last long. Most edits have been well intentioned here. So no need to protect. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:34, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Democracy-Dictatorship Index

Indefinite full protection: The definitions for the terms in this article are based on a published and oft cited research paper. This paper has its own definitions for "democracy", "presidential", "semi-presidential", "parliamentary", etc. that are not the common-use definitions. This is similar to how the term "weight" is often misused in common speech but has a scientific definition.

After adding the table for this page based entirely on the work of this paper ("Democracy Dictatorship Revisited 2008), it has frequently been the victim of incorrect or politically motivated edits. The classification scheme for the Democracy Dictatorship Index is not subjective and is in fact outlined in this article. Despite this, numerous people have unknowingly made incorrect edits to the page.

In addition, this index was last updated in 2008. I have contacted personally the authors and they say an updated version in currently in the works. Because of it's 12 year time gap, it is possible that what the current classification would be differs greatly from the last reported classification. This has also caused many incorrect edits.

The most common edits are people changing the classification of a country based on their personal beliefs (common targets are Bangladesh, Thailand, and ESPECIALLY Singapore). The full protection of this article would stop edits from those who do not understand the Index's definitions. Olfbir (talk) 01:39, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This level of protection may seem extreme but many of the edits which I had to correct were done by auto confirmed accounts and not unregistered IPs. This level of protection is the only one which would effectively protect the article. As stated previously, it will not need to be edited again for the foreseeable future until the Index itself is updated.

It is suspected that he is the person Hunter's copyright complaint was against (clear COI). This user wants the page to be frozen to the point where he posted the non-verifiable, Wiki-standards violating info that has since been corrected.

Permanent Semi-protection: per WP:SILVERLOCK with a Persistent IP vandalism that seems to have increased over the last 20 days, with an even more frequent uptick in past 24-48 hours. The latest 24 hours, A few other editors and myself have reverted several IPs that are engaging in IP hopping. Evidence of IP hopping because the IPs continue adding similar vandalism but switch after a warning or two so no single IP has reached uw-vandalism4/block status. After reading through the talk page, it appears the page has been temp semi-protected multiple times, I recommend a perm semi-block or at minimum, extended temp semi protection.

Frank Figliuzzi

Temporary semi-protection. I attended a seminar in which the subject was a panelist. When I asked to take his picture for Wikipedia, he ranted and raved about how his article has been vandalized and the Foundation had been unhelpful. I investigated the situation and found it's more complicated that I first understood. The subject has edited his own article at least under two user accounts: thrice in 2011 as Ffigliuzzi, and once in 2017 as Cffigliuzzi. Starting in August 2019, there has been some vandalism: 1, 2, 3, 4, all by IP anonymous, SPA users, in late 2019. I interpret his request as a request for semi-protection. If you need proof that I talked to him in person yesterday, I can email you the evidence. Bearian (talk) 20:02, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of Power episodes

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Various IP addresses have been continuously vandalizing the page nonstop by changing the episode title of the final episode of the series to a nonsense episode title. — YoungForever(talk) 00:21, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Father of the Nation

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism, disruptive edits and personal attacks in edit summaries. Tærkast (Discuss) 17:01, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – It appears that the dispute over duplication of Sun Yat-Sen has been resolved. (The entry was, in fact, duplicated). There are no IP edits since 8 January, so unsure what that is about. One editor did use bad words in edit summary. Let's hope it doesn't recur. EdJohnston (talk) 21:46, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Siemens Charger

Semi-protections: Multiple IPs (likely one person) edit-warring to add an inappropriate infobox parameter. (Not a content dispute - consensus is clearly not to have it.) Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:40, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Race and intelligence

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – I warned y'all and it came to pass. The edit warring seems to have returned. Please protect. jps (talk) 21:54, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 22:04, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fine Gael

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Repeat request for full protection due to edit warring about the ideology. Repeated removal of sourced info. Protection to 9 February (the day after the elections) will do. This edit makes clear why semi-protection is not enough. The Banner talk 12:42, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: (Non-administrator observation) Less than 8 hours have passed since the page was protected. @Fuzheado: Pinging protecting admin. InvalidOS (talk) 16:31, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Consider filing at WP:AN3 if you see continuing problems. The edit rate is not fast enough to justify protection. The requester, User:The Banner, might post something on the talk page if this is being often reverted. EdJohnston (talk) 21:10, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

American Society for Reproductive Medicine

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Addition of un/poorly-sourced promotional content by an apparently undeclared paid editor (Mmizeasrm); said user is now using an IP address to add the same content. See relevant discussions at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk#21:15:36,_29_January_2020_review_of_submission_by_Mmizeasrm and User_talk:Robert_McClenon#Request_on_13:55:45,_30_January_2020_for_assistance_on_AfC_submission_by_Mmizeasrm, and User_talk:Mmizeasrm.

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography

Temporary full protection (e.g. for a few days). Someone a while back (without discussion and without anyone apparently noticing until a couple of days ago) injected a bogus requirement to put hypocorisms (shortened names like Will for William) into quotation marks as if they are nicknames (like "Killer" or "Philadelphia Fatty"). This appears to be tied to editwarring at Tina Fey, and a (strongly resisted) desire to inject Tina Fey into MoS as an example of how hypocorisms "must" be treated. But this not only does not have consensus, it's the exact opposite, since it is not how we deal with hypocorisms. (When's the last time you saw 'William Jefferson Clinton, better known as "Bill" Clinton'?) While Tina Fey can maybe tolerate some back-and-forth revert-warring, a site-wide guideline cannot, especially when the entire matter is under extensive discussion on the talk page, here. This needs to stop, now, until that matter is consensus-resolved. This is basically an attempt to WP:WIN a silly style dispute at the Fey article by using WP:FAITACCOMPLI to change the rule in the background, to make the guideline say what the minority position in the article-level dispute wishes it said. PS: I have no objection to also locking down the Fey article for the interim, but suspect that wouldn't be necessary.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  18:59, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected. I understand that the talk page is hosting a major discussion about this issue, but I don't see any edit warring or actual disruption occurring on the Manual of Style page at this time and where full protection is needed. Remember that protection should be applied as a reactive measure, and (if it can be helped) not in a preventative measure. I do see back-and-forth reverting over on Tina Fey, and like you said, it's not to the level where protection is needed. I also agree that policy and guideline pages should not be disrupted or messed with, and need to be stable in order for them to do their proper job. Hence, I'm okay with applying indefinite semi-protection due to the issues, but I can't fully protect it unless a current situation calls for it. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:27, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Peacock (streaming service)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There's a persistent vandalism from a user hiding behind multiple IPs. Over the last 2 weeks, they've used the following IPs to add back the same false content: 98.22.231.142, 50.96.34.251, 174.130.206.195, 98.21.58.194, 98.22.228.30, 98.22.228.214. Starforce13 19:52, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I've also applied range blocks to 98.21.56.0/22 and 98.22.228.0/22 for one week due to the repeated disruption to the article. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:35, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
