Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. See if PC works given the low edit rate but history of occasional disruption. Woody (talk) 20:34, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lele Pons

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Lele Pons is a Venezuelan Youtube personality, who is quite prominent in Latin America, and recently revealed she has Tourette syndrome, ADHD and OCD. Her article, as well as The Secret Life of Lele Pons are continually vandalized. A three-day semi-protection at her BLP was just removed, and vandalism continued right away. Longer semi-protection at her BLP may be needed (the Secret Life is now semi-protected through July 24).

See my previous requests here and here. . SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:01, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Woody (talk) 20:09, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

College Democrats of America

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Per my understanding, within the last two days a major controversy has erupted within CDA over the behavior of the current president and the national board. I saw on Twitter this open letter circulating among related CDA elected officials calling for Guido's resignation. In the last 24-48 hours, there have been several instances of vandalism, often defamatory and directed against Guido, some of which which went undetected for up to half an hour. (See: Special:Diff/965398029, Special:Diff/965406153, Special:Diff/965419929, Special:Diff/965419766, Special:Diff/965507895 and possibly others). Anecdotally, I've see reporters this morning inquire about the controversy on Twitter, so it may show up in the news soon, making this page much more highly trafficked. Page protection for a few days while the CDA sorts itself out should be sufficient. . WhinyTheYounger (talk) 14:00, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Update, NYT did just publish a piece about it half an hour ago, FYI. WhinyTheYounger (talk) 17:13, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of people who died climbing Mount Everest

Semi-protection: I haven't the foggiest why this article in particular is so attractive to vandals, but dang is it ever, with generally one new vandal per day.

Temporary semi-protection: Page is being vandalized by an IP-hopping vandal inserting original research and personal synthesis, and edit-wars to maintain its edits there, and switches to and from different IPs to evade blocks.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema

Unprotection: Protection has been in place since April. Suggest unprotection for now, and if there are issues, pending-changes protection can be applied. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 18:49, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - this is not a decline, but given that many of the pages in this spectrum have been protected under general sanctions and many admins are following cues from other protected COVID-19 related pages, I think it would be best to discuss in a larger forum whether or not the protections should start to be lifted. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:22, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ivanvector, where should the larger forum be? On the talk page? While I understand that there can be misinformation surrounding COVID-19 that needs to be combated, this article is still very film-centric and more about how the industry has dealt with lack of people, rather than anything to do with the actual disease.

Indefinite semi-protection: The page is still being constantly changed from 'is a politician' to 'was a politician' by unregistered users without any supporting evidence being given. The page has been temporarily semi-protected before, yet the problem continues to occur and has been doing so for over six months. Helper201 (talk) 14:27, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. It is clear that nobody on the other side of this has ever bothered even attempting to discuss the issue of how she should be described since losing her political seat in 2017, and clearly there is appetite to change the description by the users you think are being disruptive. Maybe "politician" remains appropriate, maybe "campaigner" or "activist" would be more accurate, I don't know, my only point is there has been no discussion whatsoever. Protection declined.

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent bouncing IP trying to add a listicle source about 'top 10 videogame diseases' (guess when it was written?) that advances no well-sourced information to the article for the last month; a couple weeks should help them find a new thing to do. Nate • (chatter) 07:59, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, you gave half-baked reasons for it not being viable on the article, ignored the reasons I gave, and are forcing your perspective because of your privileged position over IP users. If you look at the full context of this, you're being wholly irrational, and I'm guessing you don't even know anything whatsoever about the video game in question in the first place. No offense, but stop acting so entitled and flippant with forcing yourself just because you've got the privilege to do it. To be frank, this isn't the first time I've noticed you doing this. --2A02:C7F:3A2B:3B00:8C7D:B3C6:69E7:87E3 (talk) 08:11, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Other editors have reverted the source for the same reason, so I'm only supporting their consensus, which I agree with. Nate • (chatter) 08:34, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, two users, and their reasons were just as half-baked in the first place. The reason the first person reverted it was because the edit did not relate to a critic of the game. As I pointed out to them, it's a "reception" section, not a critique section. Then the second reason given was that it is "trival and unnecessary" which isn't a valid reason. What does that mean? What's "unnecessary"? In the perspective of VLR, which is a fairly fringe Japanese visual novel, this sort of mainstream impact, to the point where a mainstream publication is talking about it in 2020 (and recommending people play it, FYI; which is something you seem to be skipping on, it isn't just a random list of games with diseases I flat out say in the edit that it's one of the 10 games they recommend people play, how is that not valid under "reception"?), is impressive, and warrants being brought up. Again, you seem as though you have no knowledge of the game in question, and therefore, that you have no proper perspective here. I don't want to seem harsh or abrasive, I just think you're being silly. I agree that perhaps the inclusion could do with a rewording so as to indicate it's reason for being there more, but I don't see what the deal is with this inclusion. It seems like a common sense inclusion to establish the game's rare long-lasting mainstream appeal in it's field. --2A02:C7F:3A2B:3B00:8C7D:B3C6:69E7:87E3 (talk) 08:43, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, just to add, from how I see it, all this issue seems to be is a bunch of people who for some reason find the COVID-19 article offensive (which is fine if you do), trying really hard to keep it off the page. No offense, but if the article offends you somehow and that's why you're attacking this inclusion so much, then yeah...just grow up, please. This seems to be the main argument people are making now, and it's dumb as all hell, it isn't making any actual point. --2A02:C7F:3A2B:3B00:8C7D:B3C6:69E7:87E3 (talk) 10:17, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An edit summary like "Stop being a child" is uncivil behaviour. It's clear from the history that consensus goes against adding the information. For the actual content, a claim like "Virtue's Last Reward has made something of a long-lasting mainstream impact in America, something that is rare for localized Japanese visual novel in the west." will need more than one reference by Anime News Network from four years ago. That PC Magazine suggest playing the game because it's one of "The 10 Deadliest Video Game Diseases" is completely trivial. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:09, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Plaza Baquedano

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – In the beginning of the 2019–2020 Chilean protests the protesters decided that Plaza Baquedano should be renamed as Plaza Dignidad. For that purpose, they vandalized the name of the square on Google until they managed that the automatic algorithms changed the name. The change was manually reverted the day after, but it was published by the press and the users considered that as a triumph. In parallel, they also attempted to change the name in eswiki. Since then, the eswiki page was constantly vandalized by anonymous IPs until it was semi-protected. During the last months (since the semi-protection in eswiki), a similar pattern has been observed in enwiki, including changes in the main name of the square (I already made changes to recognize the attempt in the history section), as well as the claim a person would have been killed by state repression (a fact that has neither been aknowledge by the government nor by human rights organizations).

Unprotection: Protection has been in place since April. Suggest unprotection for now, and if there are issues, pending-changes protection can be applied. (Reposting because another editor's response was processed as an actual decline, resulting in a premature archiving. If this needs to be discussed in a "larger forum", name the place.)

    @Erik: my apologies for the slow response, I got busy with something else yesterday afternoon. This page is protected under WP:GS/COVID19 general sanctions, which were authorized by a community discussion at WP:AN. In my opinion lifting that restriction should be a matter for community review, and WP:AN is probably also the venue for that. Also it appears that you did not consult the protecting admin, MelanieN, which is a requirement for unprotection. You're correct that my comment on the previous request was not a decline per se but I used the "not done" template which seems to have triggered the archiving bot.
    @MelanieN: are you good with lowering the protection on this page? Or if you also feel that modifications to these restrictions should go before the community, would you mind if I posted that discussion at WP:AN (or somewhere else)? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:35, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, I couldn't figure out how to ID the protecting admin because the page got moved, and another editor moved the protections. Changing the article title on the log page didn't show me who protected it in the first place. I see now that the drop-down menu forces the current title to show up above the redirect title, and I see MelanieN now. To clarify, I am requesting unprotection because I am seeing a lot of edit requests for minor edits (since there are many individual films and little related details to update as things change), and I don't think this particular topic is at risk of being vandalized. Even if it was, pending-changes protection would suffice. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 12:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Unprotected @Erik: Thanks for the ping. Yes, I semi-protected the article under its previous title. I initially protected it for one month (April 11 to May 11), then changed the term to one year after seeing how other admins were handling COVID-related articles. I am willing to reverse myself and give unprotection a try. Right now the pace of editing is slow, so normal page watching should be able to handle occasional problems. I will watchlist the article, and if we now get an onslaught of unsourced information being added, I will reconsider. MelanieN (talk) 17:24, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: A series of edits by unregistered users persistently changes the article subject's year of birth in a way that's unsupported by any source, switching it from 1977 to 1984. Here are some examples out of many 1 2 3. The date range on the diffs and the variety of IPs suggests some coordination (and the context that the subject is known for poking fun at Donald Trump, and I assume there's significance to many different IPs repeatedly changing her birth year to 1984), but the last straw that brought me here is this diff which included a repulsive WP:ATTACK that was permitted to stand on Wikipedia for nearly an hour because I was out buying cat food and couldn't babysit the page like I usually have to.

We Charity

Full protection: Persistent vandalism and Unconstructive WP:RECENT edits. The edits to the article, specifically under the 'Criticism' section, seem to be politically motivated and the paragraph reads more like an opinion piece. The main source by the user making the edits is the National Post, which is a known Conservative publication, having endorsed the Conservative Party of Canada in past federal elections. The user also used a quote from a Conservative MP specifically, rather than referring to criticism by the opposition parties in general. Additionally, the section (and more in its original form, prior to my edit), attacks the Liberal Party of Canada, illustrating that the party provided the WE Charity with a contract and there being criticism around the party. However, no political party has the authority to issue a contract regarding a federal government program, and the criticism has been focused on the Trudeau family, not the party itself. I made an edit to the section but I feel any further edits to it would be pointless, as the user will very likely revert them. The section is primarily quotations with copied and pasted content from other sources, I had removed one sentence that was copied and pasted straight from a news article. Lastly, I would like to note that the user appears to be previously involved with edit warring, consistently reverting edits by others. 24.76.221.29 (talk) 19:43, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. MelanieN (talk) 22:36, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MelanieN - thank you for extending temporary protection because every edit I made got deleted within a minute of being posted for no apparent reason. I was the editor who made the edits to the article citing two reports from the Parliament of Australia. Username6892 alleged that my edits infringed on copyright. I checked the Parliament of Australia website and they have a disclaimer that allows anyone to use their materials, which are public, so long as cited back to the Parliament. However, just to make sure, I took the text and paraphrased it as a result of a suggestion from the Help Desk. The paraphrase was deleted again. My personal belief is that this organization has been targeted by several (auto) confirmed accounts and one of these (auto) confirmed accounts submitted a deletion request. This is a classic case of WP:BULLY. Given that I made edits, and added reliable sources as citations, I have been a target, as well as my edits on other articles. This should not be tolerated on Wikipedia. Macedonia1913 (talk) 00:33, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MelanieN - one more comment that I wanted to share with you that I also added to the deletion talk page for the United Macedonian Diaspora:

Strong Belief and Proof that Organization is Being Targeted, Harassed, and Bullied (See: WP:BULLY)

According to the article Diaspora politics in the United States, the United Macedonian Diaspora is mentioned as the main organization for the ethnic group Macedonian-Americans. I reviewed the Wikipedia pages for several similar organizations listed on the same Wikipedia page and most of them use sources from their websites and publications, yet they all have pages on Wikipedia and no deletion requests. I am not posting this comment to draw attention that other organizational pages should be deleted by any means - Wikipedia is enriched by having all these pages, including that of the United Macedonian Diaspora. Based on all of this evidence provided, the sources, these pages, it is more than clear that this organization is being targeted by a group of editors on Wikipedia with some agenda - I do not know what that agenda is and what they hope to accomplish by having this organizational page deleted. WP:BULLY is the obvious definition of what these editors have been doing towards this organization.

Some examples of other organizational pages with self-publishing sources: Armenian National Committee of America, Armenian Assembly of America, Arab American Institute, American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association, Polish American Congress, Ukrainian American Coordinating Council, Ukrainian Congress Committee of America.

Several of these pages have the following message at the top "This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page." However, none of them are up for deletion. Why weren't the same standards applied to the United Macedonian Diaspora? How are they any different?

Macedonia1913 (talk) 00:52, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Macedonia1913, this is not the place for these arguments. This page is for requesting protection; the protection was granted and this subject is closed. There is nothing more to say here. You should take your complaints about content, process, and any other problem to the article talk page, talk them out and work them out. -- MelanieN (talk) 02:04, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The cadence of disruptive edits is slow enough that the PC reviewers could handle, however, the character of those edits is such that semi-protection is warranted. I'm skeptical if one month will be sufficient to disinterest the disruptive IPs, however, I think we need to start there and then revisit if necessary.

I hate to do this and if anyone disagrees with me feel free to lower the protection, however, this article has been protected almost a dozen times now, most recently for a year.

  • Comment I have never made an edit to the latter page (I wouldn't either; I have no interest in that guy and his views), and on this one, just trying to maintain neutrality against what seems to be a cluster of SPAs trying to whitewash tenuous figures. Nate • (chatter) 16:20, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment It was my mistake, to clarify it was user 'Grayfell' who has made contributions to both the Sam Hyde and Stefan Molyneux entries - which along with you, have been edit warring for about a month over this article. No sources for the addition for the 'Holocaust denier' category, an edit I believe you reverted to several times. 'Whitewash' of 'tenuous figures' seems like you have an agenda, it is not neutral. The information is there per sources, it is up to the reader to conclude whether he is a 'white supremacist' cause supporter or not.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Since the source of the purported issue is an IP editor we would probably never grant Extended Confirmed protection. Insofar as Semi Protection goes, I'm not seeing any policy violations, just rapid-fire editing. Since the edits in question aren't currently the subject of any discussion on the Talk page it would be difficult for me to curtail the ability of an IP editor to contribute as it would mean I'm restricting an IP editor just for being an IP editor. Please discuss the matter on the Talk page and if the IP editor declines to participate or a consensus is reached that the IP editor edits against, the first step should be WP:AIV. Only failing that do I think we have a case for protection. Chetsford (talk) 06:18, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Susie Boniface

Unprotection. The page was fully protected on an indefinite basis by User:David Gerard on 11 June. The protecting admin was concerned about off-wiki activity and the fact that the subject had phoned him about it. I cannot see any reason why protection is needed on this article. The original reasons, as given by the protecting admin, are quite vague. If there are any BLP violations (unlikely), I'm sure plenty of editors are watching the article and will quickly revert. I've contacted the protecting admin twice to ask for unprotection. No response has been forthcoming to either request. See here. Arcturus (talk) 17:24, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't respond because you seemed very keen to quickly unprotect an article on a subject who was actually known to be under outside attack (see BLPN discussion), and yet hadn't proposed whatever edits you were so keen to make. What edits were you so keen to make, and why aren't they on the article talk page? - David Gerard (talk) 18:26, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@David Gerard: I don't want to edit it. I only noticed it because it was adjacent to an entry on the BLP noticeboard which at the time was of concern to me, and I'd recently seen Boniface on television. And why don't you respond to perfectly reasonable questions on your Talk page instead of just blanking people? At the very least you could have responded along the lines of your question above. Arcturus (talk) 10:46, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not unprotected Well within BLP policy for this to remain full protected until David believes the BLP threats have subsided, and given the nature of the issues I would prefer leaving unprotection to either him or the arbitration committee. @David Gerard: I would suggest making this a discretionary sanction so that other administrators do not have discretion to overturn your protection.

This is bollocks beyond belief, though perhaps not unusual these days on Wikipedia. Here we have a controversial, outspoken commentator who doesn't like her Wikipedia article. So what does she do - she gets in touch with a tame admin who promptly closes it down with what appears to be a "preferred version" [6]. Since the original discussions, this admin has done precisely nothing to look into the situation further. We now have, to all intents and purposes, a permanently protected article. Blow me! Even Donald Trump doesn't get that level of protection. There is no problem here. If BLP violations occur they can be quickly reverted, as per Trump, and a vast number of other articles. In fact, I'll put it on my watch list if you like, and guarantee to quickly reverse any untoward material. Arcturus (talk) 10:46, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Donald Trump is a world leader with hundreds of armed guards paid to protect him and investigate threats against him. What's bollocks beyond belief is comparing a journalist potentially facing harassment to a world leader; these are not comparable situations. Given significant disruption, we would full protect the article Donald Trump. In fact, I personally full protected the Joe Biden article for a month during the Tara Reade news cycle, so even if I did believe we could compare journalists and world leaders, I still would not agree that this is unprecedented. You have never edited the article, and you have never edited the talk page. You've given no indication that you intend to improve the article, so I'm not going to unilaterally unprotect an article when another administrator believes there is potential harm in doing so just so you can play whack-a-mole with BLP violations. You can start a discussion at WP:AN or WP:AE to develop a consensus decision but I do not believe this should be handled unilaterally. — Wug·a·po·des​ 21:32, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Amena Khan

Semi-protection: Current high level of IP vandalism. I requested this protection a month ago and was granted a 3 day protection status even though I asked for a 6 month one. The 3 day protection worked for exactly 3 days and the IP vandalism has been back since then. I have spent a month deleting the vandalism because it was shown to me that no one will grant a longer protection status without more evidence. So please, go to Amena's page history and look at it. I've done nothing but remove IP vandalism for a month. Here's the story: Amena Khan is a muslim woman who wore the hijab for 14 years, last month she announced she is no longer wearing the hijab. Within 48 hours there was already IP vandalism on her wikipedia page calling her a fake Muslim & an atheist. She is neither. This is obviously a very controversial thing. So her page was granted a 3 day protection status. More vandalism has poured in since then, as I warned it would. I would suggest a semi-protection status for at least 6 months while we wait for this to blow over. Because 3 days was obviously not enough time for this to blow over and nor was the 1 month that I've been combating this vandalism enough time. Please investigate & take this under advisement. Thank you! Daxri (talk) 19:21, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I already told him not to do it the first time. He also did the same thing to a couple of other articles. Addicted4517 (talk) 08:30, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. AfC is not a required policy/process (see WP:DRAFTS#Publishing a draft). Any editor who believes a draft article is ready for mainspace is free to move it there if they are able; if you disagree with that decision (id est, if the article is not ready yet, and not just because a "procedure" wasn't followed) then feel free to move it back, as you've done. However, be careful to avoid move warring. If the editor continues to avoid discussing the issue, and keeps moving it back, then that's edit warring or tendentious editing, and you can take that up at the appropriate noticeboard. –Darkwind (talk) 09:58, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There's some extremely slow-moving vandalism here, all of which is being reverted in a manner of minutes or less.

PFC Ludogorets Razgrad

Indefinite semi-protection: Constant and repeated disruptive editing from user "Seimbru" from the last year. He constantly adds poorly worded content to the article in a tone completely inappropriate for Wikipedia and filled with spelling, formatting, grammatical, and punctuation errors. Also refuses to cite any sources or add any references and insists he can do this because he has "close relations with this football club and that the information must be accurate!" Please take a look at the history page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PFC_Ludogorets_Razgrad&action=history GodCipherDivine (talk) 14:54, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. I've warned you both for egregious edit warring, you are both at 5 by my count. A single more and either of you will be blocked. K notice there isn't a single talk page comment about these edits. Woody (talk) 15:33, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I'm about .5mm from blocking them both from that article. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:38, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Deepfriedokra: I'll happily agree to abstain from touching the article, that's fine. But what gives him the right to do what he has done for the past year and a half? If you look at the revision history, I'm not the only one who has been reverting his edits, edits that are not only poorly written and filled to the brim with errors, but also with zero refs, something he thinks he can do because he claims to have close relations with the team and "insists that the information must be accurate!" To add insult to injury, he resorts to childish name calling when I question him about it. How is this tolerated on Wikipedia? We've all had to revert his edits for the good of the article and the integrity of the website, it's not just me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GodCipherDivine (talk • contribs) 16:36, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Seek dispute resolution. Edit warring is wrong even when you are right. Hold an RFC. Just stop edit warring. If all else fails, report at WP:ANI. Though each of you are already past the point where blocking would be reasonable. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:06, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Deepfriedokra: I've stopped editing that article. If you look at the revision history, it's him who continues making unauthorized edits. I've already agreed to leave it alone. To treat this fairly, you should stop him from doing the same and revert the article back to the state it was in before he started touching it again. Admin Drmies had already reverted his edits on July 4 and told him to cut it out, yet he's continued to make these bizarre edits with impunity. Why? @Drmies: GodCipherDivine (talk) 19:43, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
GodCipherDivine, we are not here to judge what is right and what is wrong. And I need to tell you that there is no such thing as an "authorized" edit. It may well be that Seimbru is completely wrong--if that's the case, and if you want us to have a kind of baseline (or a stable version) to fall back on, you need to argue this on the talk page. But Deepfriedokra has already told you this. Drmies (talk) 21:11, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Drmies How is it that on July 4 you reverted his edits and told him to go to the talk page before touching the article, but suddenly now you're letting him edit the article nonstop with impunity? Please explain that to me. There's zero consistency and fairness here. GodCipherDivine (talk) 21:30, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Because they gave reasons, GodCipherDivine. And they're talking on the talk page, while you are here on a noticeboard yelling at and accusing the administrators whom you want to help you. Stop pinging me: we are done here. Drmies (talk) 22:27, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done The guidance given to us by WP:PROTECT is that article Talk pages should generally only be protected in "the most severe cases of vandalism".

Semi-protected indefinitely. Disruption has been going on since the page came off a 6 month protection in March. The last few protections seem to be because of sock puppetry, so I'm guessing its the same person just waiting out the protection each time.

Reduction in protection level: From extended confirmed to semi protection. The page was last protected on 10 July 2020 when the level of protection was increased to extended confirmed protection due to disruptive editing.

Always comes back and frequently with a new mobile IP. Perhaps longer ban is due? Especially as the content of the article readily invites juvenile jokes.

Semi-protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This should prevent addition of unsourced content and speculation.

Reduction in protection level: From extended confirmed to semi protection. The page was last protected on 30 July 2019, when the level of protection was increased to extended confirmed protection. I still think the page should be left protected because it has faced extremely heavy vandalism from several sockpuppets of My Royal Young every time protection expired, but i think extended confirmed protection is a bit excessive because many editors who are unable to edit the page have left several edit request on the talk page and will have to wait 30 days and make 500 edits before they can finally edit the article. Most vandalism comes from either IP editors or unconfirmed registered users. Many editors want to edit the article, so I think the protection level should be reduced to semi-protection because it is a very popular page and will allow editors to edit the page much sooner but still prevent vandalism to the article. 92.11.150.101 (talk) 14:30, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting removal of the first "Reactions" entry, citing an article in the "Journal of Contemporary Religion". This article is behind a paywall, so unless someone buys access to the article, they have no way of confirming that the article actually says this about TZM, or why it says it.

Also requesting removal of the third paragraph under History, which discusses "the first Zeitgeist documentary". This belongs on the Zeitgeist_(film_series) page, not the TZM page. By mentioning it here, it asserts that the ideas of the film series are supported by TZM, which is debatable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rotaerk (talk • contribs) 16:39, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nurse.Fighter.Boy

Unprotection: The article was full-protected indefinitely after some kind of editing dispute between a non-autoconfirmed editor and the article creator (who was also the one who added the protection). There were concerns raised at the article talk page that protection of any kind, let alone full protection, was unnecessary and if it was needed, semi would have sufficed. I am bringing this to RFPP directly as it appears that based on the protecting admin's comments on the talk page they do not appear to be willing to remove the protection at this time. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:38, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotected - frankly, Bearcat, I would expect you to know that the creator and principal contributor to a page should not also take admin actions on it, let alone dropping the highest level of protection possible on it without an expiry date in response to one instance of possibly POV editing by one editor, which would be a severe overreaction even if you were not involved. I have reset the protection level. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:38, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, involved editors are not prevented from acting to shut down clearly disruptive editing, such as vandalism or other unequivocal violations of policy. The edits in question were a clear attempt to turn the article into a promotional advertisement for the film in defiance of our WP:NOTADVERT rules, and an administrator does not lose the right to shut that kind of clearly unacceptable editing down just because they had prior "involvement" in the article. There is a big difference between legitimate differences of opinion and clear violations of our rules, and administrators do not lose the right to act on the latter just because they've edited the article before.
Secondly, the behaviour in question did not rise to the level of meriting a full editblock — they had other unproblematic edits to other articles under their belt, so could not have been blocked as a "vandalism-only account", but there are no other blocking criteria under which a block would have been possible at all. So that wasn't available as a solution, and page protection options were the only choice left.
Thirdly, the "autoconfirmed" level of page protection is literally useless at blocking edits by a registered username. It requires just ten mainspace edits, which means that every registered username either (a) already has autoconfirmed status, or (b) can collect autoconfirmed status literally within one or two minutes. Autoconfirmed is literally only effective at stopping IP disruption, and is completely useless at stopping anything by a registered user. But 500-edit "extended confirmed" is not the second step — it's the last resort step, permitted for use only if and when all other attempts to contain disruption have already failed. So the only option left is "full protection until I'm satisfied that the issue has been resolved", not anything short of that — if the problem still recurs after a period in full protection has already been applied, that's when the 500-edit level of autoconfirmed protection is allowed to kick in.
And finally, it's not my responsibility to just meekly obey the orders of any Karen who comes screaming at me for any of it. I explained what my reasons were for acting as I did, and why they were in proper accordance with standard rules and procedures — and then people even brought in other examples that completely misrepresented my actions in unrelated cases, such as falsely characterizing unequivocal examples of vandalism as something other than what they were. If I'm being approached in that kind of tone, then I don't have any responsibility to acquiesce to it — I'm entitled to stand my ground, and not take any action at all until I'm approached in a respectful manner about it. That is, I'm entitled to hold out for "I get it, it's fine, and I'll have your back if the problem returns" before I take any action at all, and to refuse to comply with anybody who's throwing shade at me.

Given the page's history I think it would be unwise to unprotect, but if someone wants to draft an article then an admin can replace the redirect. That said, extended-confirmed protection was not available when this was protected, maybe we can lower it? @Alison: you protected this, do you have any thoughts? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:25, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@JBW: Pinging protecting admin JBW. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 19:50, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am a little puzzled by the comment "seems notable enough for mainspace". I cannot see anything in the sourcing of the draft which is not covered by criticisms in the deletion discussion of the sourcing of the article, including the fact that the coverage is almost entirely local. Also, several of the sources were dead links. It may be that the cited sources exist but are wrongly cited, but in that case the problem would have been discovered when checking the sources (which obviously one must have done in order to conclude that the subject "seems notable enough"). The deletion discussion was a long time ago, and if you still want me to unprotect the title then let me know, and I will do so, but I won't bet on its chance of surviving a second AfD. I think that would be likely to be a waste of time for participants in the AfD, who could spend that time more productively on other tasks. I am also intrigued by the comment "I was intending to accept and to allow the community to improve the article, and sourcing" on the draft. Does that mean that the reviewer was intending to accept a draft for which they thought the sourcing was inadequate, on the basis of speculation that sources might exist somewhere?

Adrian David Cheok

Extended confirmed protection:

I notice one of the main editors of this page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bilby User:Bilby - on his page it states he is an academic in Information Science and also he is based in Adelaide (the home town of the subject Adrian David Cheok). I suspect there is some kind of malicious academic rivalry or jealousy leading this use to make biased statements about the subject Adrian David Cheok. A Wikipedia page should state the facts and not deliberately leave out facts to make negative perceptions of the subject.

I am a journalist at a major newspaper in Malaysia. I do not know the subject Adrian David Cheok personally, but as a journalist I do know he is a very well known scientist with many achievements and accolades. If the original author's believe he should have a page in Wikipedia (and I am not saying he should have a page in Wikipedia), then they should show in a fair way the positive and negative facts. The way this article was first written shows to me, as a professional journalist, that they had malicious intent to slur his name and slur his reputation, which I think in many countries would be prosecuted as libel. In any case, either delete the page if the subject is not of interest to Wikipedia readers (his scientific work is rather in an area which is not readily known by the general public, it is not something like mathematics or physics), OR present it FAIRLY and in a unbiased way. I have added facts which I believe the original authors deliberately left out in order to paint a very negative picture of the subject, who is a living person and therefore we must follow Wikipedia rules and not write potential libel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.123.191.11 (talk) 10:46, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Naypta: Per WP:UPROT, would you like semi-protection for these pages? Full protection? Any protection?
    Ed6767, please ask the bot operator instead of making such a request on their behalf. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:23, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    @ToBeFree: Thanks for checking. I'd thought about this before, but ended up not RPPing the pages because there's no evidence just yet of anyone abusing them, and full protection would also mean that I myself wouldn't be able to deactivate the bot that way in extremis! I oughtn't need to use that, given that I could just log in on Toolforge and kill the bot, but it's probably marginally faster. For now, I'd rather they're left unprotected, thanks, but if there's any need that comes up to protect them in future, I'll definitely ask for it.
    Ed6767, thanks for the concern - I really do genuinely appreciate it - but also, as ToBeFree says, it'd be great to have got a heads up about this. If you didn't want to do it somewhere visible on-wiki, I'm on IRC most of the UK-time day, so feel free to drop me a message there whenever Naypta ☺ | ✉ talk page | 16:44, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's notification system is fickle and may not grok the alternative formatting above, so I'm pinging Ivanvector (the protecting admin) again to be on the safe side. Favonian (talk) 18:52, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected - I would like to see this go through WP:AFC or at least be reviewed by someone with more experience in new pages patrol. This title was protected related to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/RohithKumarPatali, a sockfarm obsessed with the works of Kiranraj K, and Playlikeastar's version of the article is nearly identical to the deleted versions. Also compare 777 Charlie (film) which appears to have been created to evade this protection, but which appears less similar to the deleted articles than this recreation. I find Playlikeastar  Unlikely based on logs of past checks fwiw but it's evident that someone involved with this film has tried to purchase an article before.

SuperGoose007, I can understand the wish for semi-protection, but please reconsider what this would possibly achieve. As the talk page has to stay accessible for unregistered users, you'd have to setup a subpage for unregistered comments, and you'd have to monitor it for relevant messages. The amount of disruption since your last request has been pretty manageable, and none of the edits had to be reverted by yourself. Others noticed and fixed the problem for you; a pretty convenient situation. I'll use the standard message for such cases.

Extended confirmed protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Looking through the edits it seems more like POV pushing than an edit war; some of the more recent edit summaries were straight-up false characterizations of the edit. I protected for a month in hopes that the people get bored, but if problems return this could be handled by pseudoscience discretionary sanctions. — Wug·a·po·des​ 20:30, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined There are some good IP edits mixed in, and while they're in the minority, I don't think semi-protection will really help anything. PC prevents readers from seeing the vandalism, so it's not a huge problem that a low rate of it happens, and bad edits happen every couple of days at most. Preventing helpful IP edits to stop bad edits every few days (which readers wouldn't see anyway) isn't a good cost-benefit ratio. — Wug·a·po·des​ 20:41, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Woody! Sorry, on the article, my intention was not to editwar but to restore consensus version before any discussion happens on talk page but Alivardi wants non-consensus version yo stay and he is not even willing to discuss about previous cinsensys and his agreement to it and then subsequent violation of it by him. I still think that before the discussion starts consensus version should be restored but I'll leave that decision to you.--2402:3A80:D33:C16A:0:0:16C:67D2 (talk) 19:35, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. This is currently under Pending Changes protection. Very few articles on Wikipedia get Full Protection, and nothing in the history of this one warrants that. — Maile (talk) 02:30, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Since you won't restore the article protection to what it was, what do you suggest? Most of the involved editors were given AE notices, and the harassment directed at me is fairly low-level. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 02:45, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You have misunderstood the previous protection, I believe. I find nothing in its history that says it was ever under Full Protection. Full Protection means only admins and bureaucrats could edit it. And most protections have a time limit and then expire. The history on this one shows semi-protection level for different temporary periods in the years 2012, 2015, and one week in April 2020 and one week this month. None of this was "Full Protection", but only required editors be auto-confirmed in order to edit. If you wish to continue this discussion, please do it on this template right here. — Maile (talk) 02:59, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would rather another admin look at this and decide. I was just looking at the edit history, and it looks like more of an edit war. You have been part of that history.

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Edit war between user and IP range. Jalen Folf (talk) 20:37, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done I restored the page to the last stable version and left notes for both editors. Hopefully that's enough. The edit war has been going on slowly for a month, and full protection for multiple weeks feels like overkill in this situation. I'll keep an eye on it though. — Wug·a·po·des​ 00:29, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Pogues

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism to this article after multiple semi-protections. Vandalism dies down for periods but shows few signs of truly ceasing. Edits have been made not just from anonymous IP editors, but from multiple (new) accounts as well. The page has been protected multiple times in the past, after high levels of nonconstructive edits. This article was recently referenced in the news online, which has caused even more vandalism in the last few days. GhostOfNoMeme (talk) 22:25, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Humid subtropical climate (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: High level of IP vandalism, even after multiple semi-confirmed protections. At least one anon, for whatever reason, continues to make the same widespread, erroneous edits to the article concerning what constitutes a humid subtropical climate. This despite the fact that its been explained several times why his/her edits are inaccurate. This has been going on for almost two years. Furthermore, the user typically deletes sources that doesn't support his/her viewpoint. Any assistance on this would be appreciated. G. Capo (talk) 23:31, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the response. From my experience, featured articles were always protected when they were on the main page, so I am genuinely confused about this. Aoba47 (talk) 03:58, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Aoba47: Let's quote policy here: "Today's featured article may be semi-protected just like any other article. But since that article is subject to sudden spurts of vandalism during certain times of day, administrators should semi-protect it for brief periods in most instances. For the former guideline, see Wikipedia:Main Page featured article protection." I guess often vandalism to the featured article gets overwhelming, so semi-protection is applied. But it's not automatic. Lectonar (talk) 06:45, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Unichar

Indefinite template-editor protection: Like the template-editor-protected {{Code}}, this template is used across more and more articles every day. It is also a bit arcane and easily broken. People who are not entirely competent with MediaWiki templating, and granted TE-level community trust, should not be able to change this willy-nilly, but it presently only has autoconfirmed protection. PS: The TE protection will also need to be applied to its subpages (other than /doc), since much of its code is broken out into sub-template functions.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:56, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: {{Code}} has 34940 transclusions, {{Unichar}} has 861. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 05:51, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. We protect to prevent vandalism, not to prevent editors making legitimate changes. Looking at WP:HRT the number of tranclusions don't meet the generally accepted numbers for automatic template protection. I don't see anything in the history that demands full protection at this time. Woody (talk) 12:21, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Kettle War infobox has, over a long period, been vandalized with the exact same change, adding a kettle of soup as a casualty (with the same exact language). Kettle War is currently protected with pending changes - I created this so that Kettle War can be unprotected and this can instead be protected, but without pending changes, just general semi-protection. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia talk 20:32, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. I think we should wait and see how this works out. I do see the long series of "kettle" vandalism in the main article, infrequent but ongoing, so PC is perfect for that article. It remains to be seen what will happen with your workaround. Maybe the vandal will figure out how to edit the template and start vandalizing it; if they do that even once, we can slap on semi-protection. Maybe they won't figure out how to edit the template, so they will vandalize the article instead; in that case we can reconsider PC vs. semi for the article. Maybe they will be stymied and go away. In other words I am going with the "pages are not protected pre-emptively" rule; let's see what happens. MelanieN (talk) 21:13, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Steven Pinker

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Article continually attracts SPAs who have an anti-Pinker POV and who are now autoconfirmed. This SPI has more detail; while the CU came back clean, IMO there is a good likelihood of WP:MEAT. I put arbitration enforcement as the reason under BLP DS, but BLP as a reason might be fine too. SPAs can comment on Talk; article editing should be left to experienced editors. I think a very long ECP, if not indefinite, should be done; Pinker is a very famous academic, but is hated by some activists, and there very recently was an attempt to punish him via cancel culture, which the article talks about under Steven Pinker#Letter to the LSA. Wikipedia is not the place for activists to engage in such behavior. Crossroads -talk- 04:46, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Since it was protected, I'll do a quick runthrough of the sources:
  1. Hindustan Times (HT): The paper is seen as reliable, but this is a trivial mention in passing. He was part of the organization, but didn't found it nor was a large focus of the article.
  2. Telegraph India (TI). Same issue here - it's only a trivial mention.
  3. TI. Focus of the article, usable for notability purposes. Does feel a little press release-ish, so there should be some better coverage in the other sources.
  4. Avenue Mail (AM). Looks like it's most likely usable. Same concern with the PR tone.
  5. Jagran. I used Google Translate for this. It should be usable, I think. Not the strongest, but still generally usable. Again, I'm concerned at the PR-ish vibes here.
  6. The Asian Chronicle. This comes across like a press release and a search for the opening content brought up the author's site, which implies that this is likely very heavily lifted from primary sources or is essentially a reprint. There is a world record, but more often than not this isn't usually seen as a notability giving thing unless the claim is very well covered. A quick search on AfD shows that this doesn't usually save articles from deletion (see this as an example) so it's not something I'm going to really count towards notability unless there's quite a bit of coverage for this.
  7. Live Hindustan. This is fairly short, but then a lot of Indian sources tend to lean towards brevity. It could be usable, but not the strongest source.
  8. New Delhi Times. Book review in a reliable source - usable.
  9. TI. Reliable source, lengthier article, should be usable.
  10. HT. Brief, trivial mention, not usable to establish notability.
  11. India TV News. Looks to be a mix of review and a short article. Not the strongest, but seems to likely be usable.
  12. Avenue Mail. A bit PR-ish, but looks to be usable.
I'm going to unprotect this, but I am concerned that this may become a target for deletion since the sourcing is a little on the weaker side. I'd try to continue to find sources once you approve it through AfC. There's more to argue for notability than against and if this hadn't gone through AfD and had a history of SPA and possible socking, I'd be a little less worried. On a side note, it looks like the first AfD was for Ajitabh Bose, so I'd turn this into a redirect since it looks like both spellings have been used in coverage so it'd be a reasonable redirect.

Indefinite full extended protection: Disruptive edits by IPs, editing disputes, and validly related to a sensitive subject. At least one edit has been hidden to to Wikipedia:CRD #2.

Article featured on DYK two weeks ago. This is the last stable version from July 21. Thanks. --evrik (talk) 04:21, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I explained exactly why I stripped out what I did. It was badly sourced and original research, which is against policy, no matter how long it stood nor how much of the page it made up. As for my "aggressive statement", explaining how you edit war, that edit shows I changed that to focus on content, but this report shows a bad faith attempt to WP:OWN the article, which ownership behavior this editor also noted. Oh, and the best part - I've been extended confirmed for a long time, so it can be ECP'ed for all I care. But looking at this history myself, I'd say some length of semi-protect is warranted.

The protecting admin passed away a few months ago, unfortunately, so we can't ask him, but it seems this was protected in response to a string of IP-hopping vandalism. None of the IPs involved have edited really much at all since the page was protected in 2014, so I'm inclined to drop it right to no protection, and we can notch it up if there's any new disruption. @Tbhotch: what do you think?

@Darkwind: Almost all of the people involved in this dispute were auto confirmed. Would it be possible to lower the protection level to extended confirmed? I only ask because people use Wikipedia as a source for current storm information and there is a storm threatening land at this time. NoahTalk 02:20, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Hurricane Noah: The most disruptive edit warring appears to be between an EC editor (FleurDeOdile) and an AC editor (Cyclone of Foxes), which means that ECP would unfairly privilege one side in the dispute. Basically, if even one EC editor is included in the dispute, then the only allowable protection level under policy is full protection. Anything else is "taking sides". –Darkwind (talk) 02:33, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pages protected by Bearcat

Indefinite pending changes or unprotection. Bearcat (talk · contribs) indef-protected them on their first protection. In almost all of them (excepting Salcedo, Ecuador) the protection was an over-reaction because the changes were performed by merely one account. This was mentioned at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1042#Admin_Bearcat_protection_review so Bearcat is aware of them, but he solely unprotected one page, Doug Robb, so I assume he will not unprotect these pages. There was even a suggestion to check if Bearcat's protections were justified and thus I add the following pages because some are mostly outdated stubs: © Tbhotch™ (en-3). 14:42, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've added comments beside the entries in the list based on my brief investigation of these protections, with suggested actions. I'm unprotecting the last one per my note, however I suggest waiting for Bearcat's input before doing anything else. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:11, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oh and just so I'm not misunderstood: I see all of these as having been good protections at the time, other than the two I noted, and one of those two may have just been timing. It's just that "indefinite" is not supposed to mean "forever", and many of these are responses to issues that are very far in the past now. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:26, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, Tina Keeper wasn't just a single incident of disruption, but a repeated pattern over four years. Kitchikeesik first advertorialized the article on July 29, 2015, which was reverted by an IP two weeks later and then revision-deleted by Diannaa on September 16; then they removed a lot of information from the article as "not pertinent" on March 2, 2017 and were reverted a few hours later by Psychonaut; they then readvertorialized the article again on June 26, 2017, and were reverted by Jessicapierce in September; then they tried to remove content from the article again a fourth time on December 25, 2018. So the point at which I applied the protection was not the first time there had been a problem; it was the fifth.
I also don't see how simply upholding WP:NPOV, in a "dispute" between a neutral wording and a non-neutral one, is "enforcing my own POV". I literally know nothing whatsoever about Frank Christopher Busch except that he cleared a notability criterion by being named a winner of a noteworthy literary award — so based on what I was able to find out about him from sources I created a short stub to document "Frank Christopher Busch is a guy who clears a notability criterion, the end". Literally the only "POV" I had or have in the matter is "Wikipedia's rules have to be followed".
Those things said, I'm not at all attached to the idea that most of these pages need to remain protected anymore. It was never actually my intention that any of them were meant to stay protected forever — but what we haven't had, and still don't really have even today, is any particularly effective system for an administrator to keep track of pages where they may have applied protection in the past in order to see whether they're still protected or not, whether they still need protection or not, and on and so forth. There have also been many, many times when administrators (not just me) intended to apply only temporary protection for a couple of days, but either forgot to apply the expiry date in the process or did apply the expiry date in the process but for purely technical reasons it didn't actually save that way. And just watchlisting the page isn't an effective method of keeping the pages on your radar, either: if a page actually hasn't been edited at all in six years, for example, then I won't have seen it when I check my watchlist, because if nobody edits it then there are no new edits to show up in my watchlist. And when an administrator has been involved in a lot of vandalism patrol over the years, it becomes even easier for some cases to simply slip their mind entirely.
Of course, once a dispute has died down page protection can obviously come back off — but once the dispute has died down enough to justify that, it has also by definition died down enough that the page runs a high risk of simply slipping the administrator's mind, so that the "oh, yeah, I should go unprotect that now" bell doesn't ring until somebody actually brings it up for discussion weeks or months or even years later. I'm not a person who's known for refusing to drop or lower page protection when circumstances change — I do that all the time, when such pages actually come to my attention — but in nearly every case in the above list, the pages simply slipped through the cracks because I had no particular reason, opportunity or method to even remember that the issues existed until somebody brought them up. Bearcat (talk) 13:38, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The POV dispute (maybe I should have said BLP) was whether or not Busch's nationality should be described as Canadian or Cree, which should have been a matter for discussion: nationality is rarely so black and white as "the country one lives in". All three sources in the article at the time of the dispute describe him as a member of the Cree nation and none describe him as Canadian at all, but you insisted Canadian was correct, called the opposing viewpoint vandalism, and protected the article. Three years later you changed it to Cree yourself. But all of these are well in the past and we can't change the past, all that really matters is getting it right from this point on. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:39, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The IP editor was trying to describe Busch's nationality as only "Cree", while completely blowing out any use of the word "Canadian" whatsoever. That's simply a non-starter — a First Nations person from Canada is obviously allowed to identify with their First Nation, but is still a Canadian regardless, and the neutral thing to do is to mention both things rather than just one or the other. Which is what the existing text did, and what the IP editor's phrasing did not. Subsequently editing the article to read "a Cree writer from Canada" is not "changing his nationality"; it's just changing the phrasing in which the mention of both Cree and Canadian nationalities is conveyed, which is not the same thing as the "identify him as only Cree while completely erasing the word Canada from the article entirely" thing the IP editor was doing. Bearcat (talk) 15:38, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's still three editors in a dispute about content, not an admin reverting obvious vandalism. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:20, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It would be kind of ideal if Bearcat did this by themselves, but if I see no action in, let's say 24h, I would be willing to process this request. Lectonar (talk) 07:04, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, Bearcat has unprotected most of them, except Guðmundur frá Miðdal which I put on 6 months pending-protection and my watchlist, and Tina Keeper, which I unprotected and also put on my watchlist.

Up to now there has only been one edit in bad faith on the english page (which I reverted; this was an identical edit to the vandalism on the nl page).

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Flix11 (talk) 07:17, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. Per now, disruptive and positive edits by IPs still balance out. Lectonar (talk) 08:38, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This article is being vandalized to the point where I don't think Pending Changes Protection is enough. The episodes were out of order for two years until an IP editor fixed it. However, I don't know if the other things he did were constructive. I think this is all we can do to prevent vandalism from misinforming readers. Scorpions13256 (talk) 18:18, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Sorry, this doesn't rise to the level of disruption where indefinite semi-protection is appropriate. If you can't verify anything in the article, whether added by the IP or not, it should be removed. see WP:V. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 20:07, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistently high level of disruptive and COI editing. — Tartan357  (Talk) 18:43, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Follow normal procedures for dealing with COI editors. If there's subsequent socking then come back here for protection. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 20:11, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
