Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MariaJaydHicky. (CC) Tbhotch™ 22:55, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tbhotch: How many articles, total, are we talking about with this sock, at current count? Reason I'm asking is, if we think semi isn't enough to contain MJH, then to my way of thinking, all of them need to go under ECP, and with that, we need to make sure we're properly weighing the pros and cons of doing that. Alternatively, semi on all and do the whack-a-mole whenever autoconfirmed socks look over the wall. Samsara 01:31, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Tbhotch - I agree with Samsara in that we're probably just playing wack-a-mole here. If we protect these pages, this user is probably just going to move to other ones. I don't think it's worth the effort. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 14:08, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Samsara and Oshwah: Sorry for the late answer. Hundreds, because practically any album/song by a singer/band that performs Contemporary R&B, or whose music is inspired by it, is a target. Including, but not limited to Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, the Black Eyed Peas, JLS, Tulisa, Jentina, Christina Aguilera, and Rihanna. My watchlist includes some of these targets, but not all of them. Even if they are semied, Maria finds the way to dodge that like here and here (in October/November). I think that ECP will be more harmful to everybody. (CC) Tbhotch™ 00:25, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Tbhotch - No worries! Yeah, that's what I'm concerned about - that we're just playing "whack-a-mole" here and where, in the big picture, protecting this (and other) articles from this user won't do a thing. They'll just keep moving on to others, then move on to others again when those are protected, and so on... If anything, it's better to let the user stay in the same place so that we can identify them and block them quickly. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:40, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
no problem. Happy new year. (CC) Tbhotch™ 03:07, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Personal casteist attacks by IP socks of User:Punjabier. [6] by 2402:3A80:1004:C244:4E15:ABEE:65CA:E812, calling me a "kutta Tarkhan mistri". Kutta means dog in Indian languages and Tarkhan is a caste and 'mistri' means craftsman or worker and here by 2402:3A80:101F:3C75:D7AD:AF76:1FE7:5A07, making threats of finding my address and personal attacks/cusses again. Obvious attack by the sock here at my talk page. One can see how the socks are in a mission to establish that the Tarkhans are a lower caste [7], [8], and many edits like that. Kind of a revenge since Saini's are considered mali in the article with proper sources, which the user has problems with. They are very persistent in reverting/refuting it as can be seen in the article history with repeated requests in the talk page [9].

Adding source here source used is WP:CIRCULAR since in August 2019 (when the Times of India article was published), the Wikipedia article dated 21 August 2019 mentioned that the subject "Satinder Pal Singh Saini in a Punjabi Saini family" and it was unsourced.

I do not see vandalism there. Some IP edits seem ok, there is one IP (*2) which was twice reverted, but the first edit looks more like a technical mistake, and the second one is certainly not vandalism. I would decline.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:11, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I hesitate to disagree with Ymblanter, especially since there is a lot of constructive editing from IPs. But over the past 24 hours there has been repeated vandalism, obviously from the same person with shifting IPs; call them the "this is my last edit, I swear it!" vandal. Hopefully they will lose interest after a short term of semi-protection. MelanieN (talk) 00:56, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm with Samsara on this. The disruption is growing stale at this point being 12 hours old, and there are two accounts that committed 4 acts of vandalism. One account is at their final level-4 warning, which has not been violated. The other account made a single edit. We do not preemptively protect against the possibility they might come back. If they do come back to disrupt, a block is in order for Crestwhitestripssssss, and an additional warning for Daniel tangerino. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:53, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. "Hallo, niece and nephew. It's Unnco Roger!" In all seriousness, I'd say the level of disruption does not come close to where I'd consider semiprotection necessary. I don't see any recent disruption; @Dode222: please ping me if I'm missing something. Semiprotection usually isn't applied unless the level of vandalism is ~daily, I'd say, though there's definitely admin discretion involved for each article. On this one, I don't even think we need pending changes protection. It's funny--I'd usually be quite concerned for the article for a YouTuber of his popularity, but I guess Uncle Roger's niece and nephew very good!

Nader Shah

Semi-protection: This article has been under constant disruption for god knows how long. Some kind of long/permanent protection would really be helpful. HistoryofIran (talk) 18:17, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I only looked at this for five seconds, but could not help but wonder if there's an excessive emphasis in the contested sentence. "was one of the most powerful rulers in Iranian history" would seem to me to be fine. Having "Iranian" twice in that sentence does not seem necessary, especially given that the lede goes into detail about Nader Shah's origins just two sentences later. Does the word "Iranian" absolutely need to appear in that sentence twice? Currently leaning towards marking this as a dispute. There are other disruptive edits, but three of the last four seem to have been motivated by the dual use of "Iranian". Samsara 19:11, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@HistoryofIran: Do you have any further comment, or should I close this? It looks like the heightened edit volume from the last two days may have subsided. Samsara 22:27, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It has subsided, but will definitely be back, as proven by its long history of disruption. This is not a dispute issue at all, this disruption by these IPs and new users on the article is no different than if one attempted to make Napoleon an Italian king, instead of a French one. Some sort of protection is warranted imho. Dunno about the usage of "Iranian" twice, I've never noticed that, as that's not the main issue. Most of the article needs a rewrite anyways. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:17, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looking over this, it seems to be there exists prior consensus to delete. The draft, to my mind, does not establish notability beyond earlier versions (which I realise not everybody is able to see). Samsara 18:49, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Spence (legal scholar)

Temporary Semi-protection: Persistent edit-warring by IP users involving the addition of material that violates WP:POV and WP:BLP. Deus et lex (talk) 12:25, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point to how BLP is being violated? At a quick glance, it looks like a dispute (with the new material being for the most part reliably sourced and correctly referenced). Samsara 17:42, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The material being added is almost entirely negative in an attempt to portray the tenure of the subject at Sydney University as a failure. When you read the sources they don't say what the additions to the article say, and others are backed up by unreliable sources (Honi Soit, which is the student magazine and not a reliable source other than what the editorial board thinks, is cited several times). I don't mind if material is added back that is factual but the additions clearly violate WP:POV and WP:BLP. I should also add that I have invited users to discuss at the talk page but their only response is just to add things back in the same way. I am also not the first user to delete this information. Deus et lex (talk) 00:14, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - If you want some examples, see this version. The first two paragraphs should prove my point that these edits are disruptive, make claims that aren't backed up by sources, and have a serious BLP problem:
      • The heading "Treatment of international students" starts with the paragraph that the subject allegedly used international students to prop up university finances. It cites an ABC Four Corners report that doesn't even mention Dr Spence (transcript here). The most any source in that paragraph would justify saying is that the University faced a loss from the coronavirus pandemic, which is not what the WP article says at all.
      • The heading "Concerns over Spence's response to sexual assault on campus", makes it read as if the subject of the WP article was responsible for the culture of the colleges. In fact the colleges aren't owned by the University and Spence himself was a person who initiated the report. The sources cited quote him several times as condemning the behaviour, yet none of that appears in the WP article. Deus et lex (talk) 00:31, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Miss Grand Thailand

Unprotection: The title was salted following repeated re-creation attempts following AfDs in 2014 and 2015. A user has now created the misnamed article Miss Grand Thailand Organization, circumventing the creation protection. While the new article is problematic in terms of quality, it probably does not meet G4, and as it has been five years since the last AfD, consensus may have changed regarding the subject's notability (I believe there are sources that adequately satisfy GNG, some of them also used in the Miss Grand overview article, which I recently created). Miss Grand Thailand Organization needs to be moved to Miss Grand Thailand, and it should probably be unprotected to allow improvement of the new article (or redirecting to the overview article, or a new AfD). I asked the protecting admin Anthony Bradbury to redirect the title a few days ago before the misnamed article was created, but he doesn't appear to be very active currently. --Paul_012 (talk) 16:19, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Changing of title to "Minority Leader-designate". ― Tartan357 Talk 04:59, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The user responsible for the edit has agreed to respect the result of the relevant RfC. Furthermore, the user is extended-confirmed, which would have made this mode of protection ineffective, even if it were appropriate. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 06:07, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fvasconcellos, that seems to be related to adding a successor to the infobox, not changing the name of the position to "Minority Leader-designate", which is a title that doesn't exist, and a politically-charged edit. ― Tartan357 Talk 06:26, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No it doesn't. The Democrats both won in Georgia. That doesn't confer an imaginary "Minority Leader-designate" title on Mitch McConnell. Who is "designating" him that? The Senate has to vote on its leaders. That's incontrovertibly true, regardless of the decision on page protection.

Raphael Warnock

Edit Politics Section:

Sentence to edit:

"Warnock has long opposed the death penalty, having advocated for death row inmate Troy Davis, who was executed in 2011 for killing a police officer despite evidence that supported his innocence."

Proposed edit:

"Warnock has long opposed the death penalty, having advocated for death row inmate Troy Davis, who was executed in 2011 for killing a police officer."

Justification:

The reason for this is because there is absolutely no proof or evidence, whatsoever, that supports his innocence. The article that was used as a citation https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-execution-georgia/clemency-denied-for-georgia-death-row-inmate-idUSTRE78J2NP20110920 clearly does not state anything about him being innocent, not at all. The only statement on his innocence is a quote from a 3rd party in Europe that has no familiarity with the case whatsoever. Reading Wikipedia's article on Troy Davis clearly states there were 34 witnesses from the prosecution, 9 of which identified Davis as the murderer. 7 of them recanted but where deemed by the courts to either A, be unreliable or B, not really a recantation. There were also witnesses who claimed they were hounded consistently for years to recant using coercion. He also had many trials with different Judges and under all that scrutiny the final appeals Judge stated it was "smoke and mirrors" and found them not to be credible. On top of that, they didn't have a single witness who recanted testify in court, not one and the other 2 witnesses refused to recant. There is about as much evidence he is innocent as there is evidence that there was mass voter fraud in the 2020 US election. May as well just put in Joe Biden's page that "Joe Biden still won the 2020 election despite evidence that supported mass voter fraud". https://law.georgia.gov/press-releases/2011-09-07/execution-set-troy-anthony-davis-convicted-1989-murder-savannah-police https://www.savannahnow.com/article/20111006/OPINION/310069763 Sawyermade (talk) 04:23, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

List of rebellions in the United States

Full Protection; Temporary: Numerous editors came out of the woodwork after I made the initial entry of today’s insurgency of the US Capital. Particular users are throwing in their baseless conspiracy theories then removing someone else’s to put theirs in. This should go back to the earlier entry that was correct and then protection to prevent editing for a couple weeks. Some of the users have had accounts for 10-11 months but made no edits until today. Possible sleepers. 2600:387:C:6D14:0:0:0:C (talk) 02:23, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Still, the disruption is not pronounced or frequent enough for protection of any kind to be warranted or effective. In olden times we would have said: just watchlist and revert. Lectonar (talk) 12:20, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Lectonar, thank you for your response. I've been trying to revert these as much as possible. I do not revert all of them because at times the sock's edits are constructive, but I've been worried about being called out for edit warring. The IP's keep changing and warning them does no good, they also do not reply to any talk page discussions. I absolutely detest having to revert these edits constantly but I cannot think of any other way to deal with this. Prolix 💬 13:18, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
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 (and even the hopping IP does contribute positively once in a while). Therefore, protection is the exception, not the rule. These articles aren't simply getting disruption enough to warrant any kind of protection, and articles will never be "stable". My advice as a very long-time editor: take them off your watchlist, and don't look at them. You can be sure it will ease your mind. Often it doesn't pay to edit or watch pages which are too close to your interests (or to your heart). Lectonar (talk) 13:26, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Incredible India

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. Unsourced edits by IP addresses Prolix 💬 10:36, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Declined per my previous decline of Lava International and Lectonar's declines below. There is not enough recent activity to justify protection. Warn the user appropriately and report to the relevant noticeboard if necessary. One addition of unsourced content is not "persistent disruptive editing". Fvasconcellos (t·c) 12:45, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fvasconcellos, the problem is that there isn't a particular user, the IP keeps changing so warning's are unnecessary, like I mentioned in my previous reply to you, I had already reported this earlier to no avail. I would really like your help with this
@Prolix: I understand this can be frustrating, and I apologize if it seems unhelpful, but the low level of changes really does not meet the threshold for protection, and does not constitute persistent disruption. I am the third administrator to decline protection to these articles on similar grounds in the last couple of days, and I believe this remains the most appropriate course of action. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:03, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fvasconcellos, thank you for your response. Dealing with dynamic IP's has been a real pain, it seems like a serious loophole that can't be plugged as of now. I respect your judgement, I'll avoid requesting page protection with respect to this particular issue unless absolutely necessary. Prolix 💬 13:15, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish football league system

Protection: disruptive editing – A newly registered user (first edit January 6) keeps editing the page to copy the Spanish version of the page leaving many parts in Spanish rather than in English. The version I reverted it to before it was changed back is the same style used across every national league system on English wikipedia. For example, Italian football league system, French football league system, English football league system, etc. The female league system is in the correct format, since the editor is only editing the male section, for whatever reason. RedPatchBoy (talk) 23:26, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RedPatchBoy: have you tried talking to them before coming here?

Dream (YouTuber)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The article's protection recently expired and the article has since experienced a lot of disruptive editing from IPs. Given that it doesn't seem to be letting up and the subject is a very popular YouTuber, I think indefinite protection may be needed.

I'm also confused, because Twinkle says the protection put on January 4 is going to expire January 18, but it's not protected. Is this a MediaWiki bug?. Ovinus (talk) 21:32, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ovinus, the history merge caused the page to become unprotected, all the IP edits add unconstructive BLP issues due to being a popular YouTuber accused of cheating, so this should really be re-protected. Dylsss(talk contribs) 00:47, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of ten days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I’ve restored the protection that was lost in the history merge.

2021 storming of the United States Capitol

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Pretty obvious that most, if not all IP contributions are still disruptive after the page protection was removed. Jeuno (talk) 23:54, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. This article was extended confirmed protected, but the protection just expired and it no longer has any protection level (not even semi). It's a very exposed and high profile article (700,000+ readers yesterday), and will be very hard to maintain without some kind of protection. I would propose extended confirmed protection for at least 2 weeks. --Tataral (talk) 23:59, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was also thinking about possibly extending the move protection to probably at least a few weeks too since it is set to expire on Wednesday. Jeuno (talk) 00:11, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Non-admin comment: It is probably need to be permanently semi-protected and move protected by administrator only indefinitely. I believe this request is resonable but due to persistent vandalism in the page, indef semi-protection and move protection would be considered. It see some IP add Gunpowder Plot to this article which they thought similar. 110.137.164.146 (talk) 00:21, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Done I've added 5 days of semi, and 10 days move protection. I don't expect these parameters to remain, but they'll do for now. -- zzuuzz (talk) 00:52, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Arb enforcement. IanDBeacon (talk) 20:53, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment IMO, semi protection seems is more likely given the high traffic of the article himself. Doesn't you see have evidence of vandalism from IP?. If don't, the protection can't be justified, whether semi or pending changes. 110.137.164.146 (talk) 00:45, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. Furthermore, pending changes would not be the appropriate level of protection for arbitration enforcement. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:13, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full-protection or temporary pending changes protection, sysop to auto-accept: The album is certainly not notable per WP:GNG or WP:NALBUM, which I have stated multiple times in edit summaries. Yet, the redirect has been removed three times in the past day. There might be a potential competency issue, as I have made it clear as day that the album is not notable, yet the article keeps being created with no improvements to sourcing (GNG) or anything in NALBUM. There have been XC editors who have participated in this, so there isn’t much else that can be done other than the two options I have detailed above. Thanks!

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Sock master User:Gfstudent21 have created another sockpuppet by the name of Double-Butts Team.

@Samsara: Noted, I listed it because the revert wasn't done until 8 hours later by me. In between, around 2 editors likely confused even decided to improve the list table instead of reverting it. If the sockmaster even happen to start disruptive editing on GFriend article again, I will request protection again. For now, just reject it.

Spanish football league system

Protection: disruptive editing – A newly registered user (first edit January 6) who then switched to an IP keeps editing the page to copy the Spanish version of the page leaving many parts in Spanish rather than in English. While, I believe the edits are being done in good faith, the version I reverted it to, before the user keeps changing it, is the same style used across every national league system on English wikipedia. For example, Italian football league system, French football league system, English football league system, etc. The female league system is in the correct format, since the editor is only editing the male section, for whatever reason. I had previously left a message on the user's talk page, but it was ignored and they just returned as an IP address. I reverted twice already, but don't want to break WP:3RR so am asking for page protection. RedPatchBoy (talk) 23:26, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Change redirect target to DWBA-FM, callsign rebranded until the shutdown of ABS-CBN. Sean Ethan James D. Querubin (talk) 07:54, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Sean Ethan James D. Querubin: Because both DWAI and DWBA-FM redirect to DZRR, it is not clear to me what you are asking for with this request. — The Earwig talk 04:32, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@The Earwig:, What I meant is DWAI should be redirected to DWBA-FM not DZRR because DWAI is the former callsign of DWBA-FM. The callsign rebranded until the shutdown of ABS-CBN. Sean Ethan James D. Querubin (talk) 05:37, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Sean Ethan James D. Querubin: That would create a double redirect, which should not be done. DWBA-FM does not have an independent article and does not seem notable enough to have one (based on multiple attempts to create it by an IP user). If this is confusing, it's possible DZRR needs some discussion of these alternate names, though I don't know enough about how we write about radio stations to say if this is a good idea. — The Earwig talk 06:04, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2021 storming of the United States Capitol

No idea what to ask for but mainpage links here and the article is a mess with warring, fast edits going back and forth. Also a mess in other ways, the lead is extremely long, and I am seeing a lot of POV: e.g. "The riots and storming of the Capitol were described as treason, insurrection, sedition, domestic terrorism, and an attempt by Trump to carry out a coup d'état or self-coup." (That happens to be my own POV, but I still don't think we should link to my POV from Wiki's main page.) People coming to Wikipedia for information deserve better than what we have to show them there. HouseOfChange (talk) 17:06, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The article is already semiprotected. ECP would be useless, as the vast bulk of edits—including controversial ones—is coming from extended-confirmed users. Full protection would be completely inappropriate, as it would exclude all but a small minority of productive users from editing what is now a vital article. Any page on a subject this fraught and this fresh is bound to get bogged down in recentism and POV—protection is not the way to deal with it. I would personally decline but am happy to hear other admins' takes on this, perhaps in a more appropriate venue. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 17:17, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection or confirmed protection: Continued disruptive editing. This is the second time I have reported this page in a week (see diff here for first request which resulted in an IP user being blocked). There is a continued level of disruption with another IP user 129.78.56.174 continuing to add unduly negative material that is not supported by the sources and in some cases doesn't talk about the subject of the article at all. I added a warning to their talk page but got no response. The IP comes from Sydney University which suggests a WP:COI edit. After the last request I cleaned up the page and added in material that was sourced, so these edits are just reverting back to what it was like beforehand.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Content removal and attempts to remove well-sourced information about the company, which has recently been in the news a bit due to providing domain registrar services to the recently-deplatformed Parler.

@Walter Görlitz: I'm not sure what you're asking for here. At first glance, it would seem to be a rangeblock request. What do you mean by, "preventing further action against the editor"? Samsara 15:12, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As I indicated in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gwapong Chikoy, the range is very large. To catch both 2001:4451:8614:5D00:E833:5B9:36C7:D3C9 and 2001:4451:8685:AD00:C8EB:A2A2:54F9:45F0, we're looking at 2001:4451:8600:0:0:0:0:0/128 or even larger, which would be much, or possibly all, of the Philippines for that ISP. If we lock that one page, but not its talk page for a week or possibly a month, it would likely keep the sock away long enough to offer the editor some perspective.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – I think this article should be under some sort of content-protection for at least a month, at least until after the US Presidential Inauguration if not beyond. It's been receiving renewed interest from multiple IPs since the January 6th Insurrection. Some of these accounts seem interested in making useful/thoughtful/sourced contributions and some are obvious SPA/POV-pushers. Shearonink (talk) 16:43, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Only one recent POV comment by a single-edit IP, which happened to be mostly reverted by another single-edit IP. Per WP:SEMI, semi-protection should not be used as a preemptive measure against vandalism that has not yet occurred. – wbm1058 (talk) 18:40, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gab (social network)

Extended confirmed protection: This page was recently fully protected for a few days due to disruptive editing, mostly attempts to remove sourced content. Semi-protection has been reapplied for a period of three years, which I imagine should soon be sufficient, but it is not currently sufficient. Gab has been in the news due to the recent decision by Twitter/Facebook/etc. to suspend some high-profile conservatives (including Donald Trump), and due to fellow alt-tech social network Parler being taken offline by its service providers. This has become a highly-viewed page and disruption has been quite high as a result. There have also been attempts by Gab itself to encourage their supporters to brigade the page. The recent editing history shows semi-protection is not currently sufficient. If I was not involved with the page, I would ECP for minimum one month, under AP2 DS. GorillaWarfare (talk) 17:52, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so from my experience, the standard way we would approach this is to ask whether blocks are insufficient for dealing with the disruption that's occurring beyond semi. Again, from experience, if it's three or more autoconfirmed accounts causing trouble after semi has been installed, we go ECP. In that case, I would be happy to say we should go for three months of ECP. If I'm reading the history correctly, we're currently one strike away from "quorum". Another point - would this be a page we can easily put under 1RR? GorillaWarfare? Samsara 17:59, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I'm a pessimist, but the fact that we've had two autoconfirmed accounts making disruptive changes in under two hours after semiprotection was applied leads me to believe trying to rely on blocks alone will be an exhausting game of whack-a-mole. If you would like to wait for a third account to begin disruption, we can; I imagine it won't take very long. However due to the high viewer numbers I would rather we prevent the disruption rather than react to it. As for 1RR, I don't know if that would help. The disruption has been coming from so many different accounts that it seems like it will be the people reverting back to status quo that will be caught in the 1RR rather than those reverting against consensus. GorillaWarfare (talk) 18:03, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well, there's one account that would already have had to cease editing, or now be blocked, that's why I'm bringing it up. "Having to wait" for warnings to go unheeded does take extra time. I'll have my eye on it every few mins for the next hour or two. I'm not necessarily more optimistic than you, just more process-wonky. ;-) Samsara 18:10, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It need to consider edit warring noticeboard. I believe it should be used when a users conduct edit warring with each other. Gorillawarfare request is fine but edit warring noticeboard needs to be considered because there are situation where ECP who also conduct edit war. I don't want it to be full protected it again only because that. I also believe it is a content dispute that needs a precaution against them. 110.137.127.103 (talk) 18:17, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Looks to me it's more like some users suddenly wanting to change a long-standing consensus. It's part of Wikipedia's culture to then discuss and see whether the consensus has indeed changed. Right now, we seem to be at the stage of people just pushing words around. I don't see any substantial discussion yet. Samsara 18:25, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Rather than GorillaWarfare request, i would refer to request indefinite semi-protection for this article. IMO, semi-protection for only 3 years is ineaquate, and it is possible for it to vandalized this page again after 3 years. You see in Facebook, the article is indef semi-protection rather than only effect in years. 110.137.127.103 (talk) 18:31, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Gab (social network) is already under indef PC1. That should be sufficient for now. We can re-evaluate the need for semi in three years, or when ECP ends if it comes to that. Samsara 18:41, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok Samsara, IMO three year semi-protection followed by indef PC1 should be sufficient for now in order to prevent vandalism from users. I believe it should be a warning for all users where they must not intend to vandalize the page. Any user that are to vandalize the page needs to give a warning for them. Thank you. 110.137.127.103 (talk) 18:48, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Anachronist: Just FYI. Samsara 19:53, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was going to reply here but Samsara beat me to it.
Extended confirmed protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The disruptive activity and edit warring have involved multiple non-EC editors and show signs of continuation. Although I have participated a bit on the talk page, I have had almost no activity in the article (looking through the history, I see myself making a minor edit and then reverting myself), so I felt my involvement was distant enough to act in an administrative capacity to preserve the stability of the article by applying the protection. I have no objection to another administrator undoing it if there is disagreement. The previous protection was 3-year semi, which may as well be indef. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:03, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I agree that we don't necessarily need to decide between 3 years or indef semi-protection at the current moment. GorillaWarfare (talk) 22:04, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adobe Flash Player

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism, joke edits and disruptive editing by IP addresses in the last month, due to the recent discontinuation, constantly ignoring Wikipedia guidelines (like MOS:TENSE), consensus, warnings on talk pages and the very strong warning included on the page ([63], [64], [65], [66], [67], [68], [69], [70], [71], [72], [73], [74], [75], [76], [77], [78], [79], [80], [81], [82], etc.).

Many of these edits come from an edit-warring IP hopper:

@HJ Mitchell: You are completely wrong on this. This is not a content dispute. Please look more carefully. Many of the edits are plain vandalism ([83], [84], [85], [86], [87], [88], [89] etc.), and as for the "content dispute" edits—again, this is a single IP hopper edit-warring against everyone else and against a clearly stated Wikipedia guideline, intentionally ignoring and removing clear warnings (and some of the edits by this user on this page are plain vandalism, too, as you can see in the diffs—the user is clearly trolling). "Content dispute" does not mean a single person abusing multiple IP addresses, ignoring everything and everyone else, vandalising the page. The IP hopper has received multiple warnings for the disruptive edits by multiple editors, and everyone keeps reverting his/her edits. The issue was already discussed on the talk page. The vandalism itself would be a reason for protecting the page, and the IP hopper definitely deserves a range block. Please reconsider your decision.—J. M. (talk) 00:24, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Just You Wait!

Semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism starting in September 2020 (diff) and continuing. Typical recent activity includes changing the maker of a 1969-2006 Russian/Soviet animated film series from Soyuzmultfilm to Lubin Manufacturing Company, a U.S. live film company who operated 1896-1916, and addition of large amounts of fanciful garbage. Diffs 15 Jan 2021 (the ES copies that of earlier vandalism reversion in 10 Jan 2021), 7 Jan 2021 and 31 Dec 2020. The IP range is 2a00:1fa1:8240 to 2a00:1fa1:c4d7, which looks to me too broad for a rangeblock (feel free to block if it isn't), and each IP is only used on one day.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Almost all of the edits (aside from the creation of the article earlier this week and initial editing) have been unexplained content removal/vandalism, or reversion of the unexplained removal/vandalism. The edits have not all come from the same address, so I think blocking users won't do the trick. By the way, in case more vandalism occurs between now and the protection, I think this version is the last stable version of the article. palindrome§ǝɯoɹpuᴉןɐd 06:10, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Article has a long history (stretching back to 2013, or nearly three-quarters of the article's existence) of obvious self-promotion edits via the subject creating new accounts, and a more recent history of IP edits that cannot be confirmed to be, but match the pattern of, the logged-in WP:SPA edits. The article has since seen substantial revision and improvement to totally eradicate the COI issue, but the risk remains of new IP or unconfirmed account edits; the pattern demonstrated by the edit history shows that the subject can go several years between COI edits before returning to make them again.

Template:Biography

Upgrade from autoconfrimed to template editor protection: This template has been autoconfirmed protected since 2010. That, however, hasn't stopped editors for mistaking the template as a place to try and create a new article. For some reason, these editors seem to be thinking that adding their information to the parameters in the template's documentation will somehow create an article about them. Since most of these edits appear to be being made by new editors who simply don't seem to understand the purpose of the page, perhaps it isn't the type of mean-spirited vandalism that warrants and upgrade in protection. FWIW, I did suggest an WP:EDITNOTICE be added per Template talk:Biography#Edit notice might be helpful but never got a response. Maybe a friendly edit notice would work better and be more helpful than an protection upgrade since the latter would prevent more editors than just newbies from directly editing the page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:18, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note: : as this template is technically never transcluded, I don't think template protection would be appropriate. ECP might curb this behavior further, but I'm not sure the level of disruption warrants it. I am inclined to agree with an editnotice, but welcome other admins' views. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 07:33, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I added an editnotice using the AfC template: Template:Editnotices/Page/Template:Biography. I view this as preferable to protection because it at least gives the user some advice on where to go. If it doesn't help, ECP seems reasonable. — The Earwig talk 08:32, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection for a few weeks, or until a consensus has been reached on the Talk page regarding certain details and edits: Both edits and consensus are just circling the drain on this BLP, to the point where no meaningful work is being done on the article because X editor is too busy reverting Y editor's work, only for Z editor to add it back again. It's disruptive and fruitless, and I'm hoping a higher level of protection might force some consensus into view on the Talk page, with the then-restricted pool of editors able to conduct some useful edits. --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 17:55, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @Ineffablebookkeeper: Sorry but protection (per WP:PROT) is mainly for blatant vandalism. A couple of recent IP edits that I checked were not vandalism and there weren't enough of them to be disruptive. It just looks like a content dispute so WP:DR is needed. Johnuniq (talk) 06:44, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Common leopard gecko

Semi-protection: The page has always been subject to occasional IP vandalism - recently there have been repeated IP edits to the behavior section to say leopard geckos are cathemeral without adding citations in support of said assertion, and using existing citations that say the opposite so it appears the assertion is cited.

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. FASTILY 06:01, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I will attempt to warn users as requested, but these are IP edits so I am not optimistic it will have the desired effect as they may or may not have a consistent IP address. The problem is more multifaceted than I initially explained: As leopard geckos are common pets, many third party websites and blogs pull information from wikipedia to guide their discussion of these animals, often taking assertions at face value without checking citations. Misinformation then ends up spreading across the internet, and these third party websites can even end up cited back again in the wikipedia article backing the original claim that is incorrect, even though the "citation" got its information from Wiki itself (this has happened and is outlined on the talk page). A more recent example: https://www.inaturalist.org/guide_taxa/1242594 now asserts leopard geckos are cathemeral, citing wikipedia, despite wikipedia never having actually had a citation supporting that conclusion. This propagation of misinformation could potentially be mitigated by semi-protection, as editors would then be accountable. Connorlong90 (talk) 06:27, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Non-administrator comment Binksternet, Because the distruption appeares in the same IP range as 64.119.xxx.xxx, i think these IP users need to be reported to AIV. Semi-protection is also an alternative if IP blocks doesn't sufficient to stop vandalism.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – It seems a user by the name of Josh joachim has placed a speedy deletion nomination claiming the article is a hoax. Evidently, this was a claim made without substantial evidence. The article has ample citations from reliable sources and has been written without any trace of any made-up information. The article also meets notability criteria listed by Wikipedia. Furthermore, recent edits made by unregistered users only listed by their IP address have also tried to edit information without citations and proper reason. Please consider protecting this page.

Unprotection: Hi, I'm an AfC reviewer and I've come across a draft for the newly notable Wyoming state senator Tim French (Draft:Tim French). The AfC gadget tells me that target page has been salted by Jarry1250. Since they don't seem to be very active at the moment, I'd like to request that the page be unprotected so that I can allow the draft to enter the mainspace.

Heather Ripley

Reduction in protection level: I have written an article on the subject - which I have placed on the Heather Ripley Redirect's Talk Page here. At present she only has a Redirect to the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang article. It is surprising that one of the four main cast members does not have an article; indeed, she is the only person on the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang page cast list not to have an article. Adrian Hall (Jeremy Potts) has a stub and I think his notability is borderline, which has been an argument against an article for Ms Ripley. Also, in the past she has not been keen on the publicity garnered from the film, which was another reason for her not to have an article. However, in recent years Ms Ripley has had a change of heart - if only for the economic benefit - tv interviews, documentaries, signings, etc. Also, even in her publicity-shy years she was not averse to using her fame to support her various causes. I have put a lot of hard work into writing a piece about her and I think it deserves a place on Wikipedia. Thank you. Jack1956 (talk) 23:11, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pending changes protection. Despite invisible comments and some pleading, users—both registered and unregistered—continue to change the bold part of the lead to a name that currently has no confirmation (as the article states). There's also an unusually sustained level of general vandalism. Of the past 50 edits, 30 have been reverted (Article history).

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. FASTILY 22:51, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Fastily: This request isn't a request for pre-emptive protection, it's a request to deal with the broken mechanics of how protection expiration works. Unlike PCP, which works in parallel to other protection types, if protection is temporarily increased, it's reasonable to fall back to the previous un-expired protection level when the temporary protection expires. It would be great if all protection types were independent and had their own expiration times, but that isn't how our admin toolbox evolved (except for PCP).
That said, it seems silly to make this request prior to expiration of a temporary protection, and in that respect I agree it's pre-emptive. However, the full protection appears to be expired now. Hopefully the PCP already in place can handle things. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:07, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Tartan357: Please stop to adding an ECP request for this article and Chuck Schumer.

@Jtbobwaysf: I agree with your request for protection, but as far as i see in the page, vandalism does more conducted by IP and new user. I suggest it become permanently semi-protection and indefinite move protection instead, due to fact that it is highly visible page. I also can request the same protection for all crypto-related articles including U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and even Gary Gensler, which i see more crypto-friendly and Janet Yellen, which all of them are Biden-nominated secretary. 180.242.50.227 (talk) 07:50, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: From the edit history, ShelteredCook prod'ed this article. When it was undeleted he/she only merged a tiny proportion then enforced a redirect, disregarding almost the entire length of the article. He/she didn't even allow merge tags nor talk page discussion. IMHO this article needs no protection since ShelterCook already patrols it and owns it. It isn't just a redirect it's an article he/she wants to kill and hide. If it's indeed going to be protected, pick the right version. 124.217.189.34 (talk) 21:10, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IPs manipulating reference quotation.

@Fylindfotberserk: Doesn't it is IP 216.161.238.43 that manipulate the quotation content?

ECP is needed only to protect against disruptive autoconfirmed editors, and all I see here are IP addresses. I also see some constructive edits in the early history, so I protected both articles with 6 month semi.

Groin attack

Semi-protection: There has been a user repeatedly posting edits with non-ideal grammar and formatting, from a different IP address each time. On the rest of the Internet there seems to be an almost-subculture of people believing in misinformation and arguing about things like whether or not it hurts for women and whether it's more or less painful than childbirth. I think that reflects on the article because in general the page has a long history of low-quality edits, such as those with misinformation such as thinking "dels" are a real unit, and I think they are going to keep coming without semi-protection. In the past the article had notices about both lack of citations and original research, as well as nominations for deletion because it "has never been an article that reflects particularly well on us"; the talk page contains some examples of misinformation and the types of debates found on the rest of the Internet.

ImprovedWikiImprovment, since you transclude the page content anyway: Can you create (not move to!)

If you like the idea, feel free to notify me about deleting the old page afterwards. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 04:34, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@ImprovedWikiImprovment: Also, since you already have the Extended Confirmed editor right, it can be extended-confirmed protected, which would give only you and a few other experienced editors the ability to edit it, but would block any other editors with less than 500 edits from making changes. If you are concerned about vandalism, it's no problem to protect your user page and any other page in your space (except your talk page) at extended-confirmed protection level. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Anachronist: Yes, it slipped my mind that this wiki has that function. In that case, please apply indefinite 30/500 protection. Thanks, --IWI (talk) 17:20, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. @ImprovedWikiImprovment: I also applied this protection to your user page, as it comes in handy in the event you get into a dispute with a less experienced editor who would vandalize it. I have always felt that user pages should be protected by default at the maximum level that allows the owner to edit it. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:44, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Sushant Singh Rajput

Temporary semi-protection - Thus far the only edits the talk page has been seeing this year is murder conspiracy theories from drive-bys, which are reverted on sight due to them having been thoroughly dismissed (to the point there is an FAQ specifically explaining that these theories are bunk, which constantly gets ignored and its header vandalised with more conspiracy theories). It's picked up somewhat as of late as well. The talk page had to be semi'd last year for more of the same before we got the FAQ up and started to basically treat the drive-by conspiracymongering as vandalism. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 21:33, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll watch the article for a while and see if there is any reason that editors repeatedly adding that should not be blocked.

@Johnuniq: thanks for the action. I think part of the mitigation here is that the politician himself owned the establishment in question, so the “sins of the mother” are, in this case, his as well. -Eponymous-Archon (talk) 12:37, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note: User:Styyx, I have added the "Draft article" template to the drafts so that they can submit them through the article review process. That's something you should do when you draftify an article.

Second impeachment trial of Donald Trump

Semi-protection: Controversial nature of the article due to the violent and partisan nature of the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol, and the growing possibility of Trump's conviction, will tempt users to vandalize the article once the trial proceeds. Already the article's talk page has one or more users protesting it as a "crucifixion" and others who believe so will seek to vandalize the article and trash it. Requesting semi-protection in advance. Phillip Samuel (talk) 19:40, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Phillip Samuel: You need an evidence that this article suffered a high level of IP vandalism. As far as i see in the article, i don't see any vandalism conduct by IP for now until 8 February. Please read WP:NO-PREEMPT (Pages cannot be protected preemptively). It means that a pages can only be protected if there are persistent vandalism from multiple IP users which is deemly impossible for block. 110.137.190.132 (talk) 20:57, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Echota Cherokee Tribe of Alabama

Long-Term Semi or Semi-Indef: Yes, we're back. Fastlily declined, saying to warn and block the dynamic IP at AIV. But the range of the dynamic IPs has gotten larger, and there have been a handful of new SPA accounts. I am sure they are socks, but as they go dormant, we haven't taken the time to do a full SPI. I guess it's time. Meanwhile, the disruption has continued since the last report, and has been ongoing for several years. The repeating pattern is for two new accounts to show up, along with a couple IPs; they edit-war up to the third warnings, then go dormant for a few more months. Wash, rinse, repeat.

The members of the Indigenous Wikiproject are sick of having to deal with these POV-pushers every few months, especially when well-meaning editors who are unfamiliar with these fake tribes (who are attempting to use the 'pedia to perpetrate a WP:HOAX) don't understand the problems with the edits and sourcing. I'd protect it myself but I've edited the article. Protection is best as the disruption is always from new accounts and IPS, and editors unfamiliar with Indigenous topics would probably OK edits that can be confusing to those inexperienced in the field. Please just semi this so we can make better use of our time. Thanks. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 20:59, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. It's unclear what you are asking to be protected from. It looks as if this talk page - for a Featured List - has languished for years with little or no input from regular editors, just an occasional burst of activity from IPs.

The only disruption that has been taken place has been that of YOUR behaviour on every page you have contributed to so far - and your false claims of a consensus. --Thescrubbythug (talk) 06:19, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I already explained that the removal of the new section on the Talk page was an accident, whether you choose to believe it or not. While the dumpster fire that was the report section consisted of you responding to my report against you in an inappropriate forum, which I tried to explain to you when I initially attempted to remove your response.... and was ultimately justified when the admin removed everything and backed me up in saying that it was NOT the forum for such an argument. --Thescrubbythug (talk) 06:26, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No it was not a forum for your report in the first place! I merely made that obvious! Again, thank you for proving me right. I have no problem with the main page being protected. But I will not be censored from putting my case for inclusion on the talk page - something that you have been disrupting (and your removals on that report page shows you are willing to remove so you have form for it). 2001:8003:5022:5E01:D064:CEB7:621C:116A (talk) 06:33, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It was the appropriate place to file a report against disruptive behaviour - what was not appropriate was your argumentative responses at a forum which was inappropriate for such debates. As I even said on one of my edit reversion responses, either back off or file your own report rather than directly responding to mine. Nobody was attempting to censor you on the Talk section of the 2021 page itself, and I've already explained that and admitted where I made my mistake - and frankly it doesn't bother me one bit if you choose not to believe it. Thescrubbythug (talk) 07:09, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It was NOT the appropriate place as Daniel Case told you - and you are STILL not getting it! And yes you did censor me. Your reversions on the report page show you have form - it was no accident. 2001:8003:5022:5E01:D064:CEB7:621C:116A (talk) 07:28, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Daniel Case only went ahead and said that because you disruptingly went ahead and began to argue there, causing the entire page to derail - just as you have done everywhere else, including here. I'm not going to dignify the second part of your comment with a response, given that I've already explained myself. Thescrubbythug (talk) 07:40, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Gee you really have no grip on what's really going on do you? Total denial = hallmark of a guilty person. I don't need to say anything else. It all stands up by itself above. Thank you. 2001:8003:5022:5E01:D064:CEB7:621C:116A (talk) 07:44, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CBS Corporation (1997)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An IP keeps removing and/or reverting a long-standing redirect that I recently changed from Westinghouse to the proper CBS article. The IP is not just reverting me here, they're doing it at the CBS article as well, so it also needs PP as a result. I created a UTP for them, but it doesn't do any good because it's not a static IP. If this doesn't help, I'll nominate it for an AfD because this little bit of history is already in the CBS Corp article. Atsme 💬 📧 23:02, 26 January 2021 (UTC). Atsme 💬 📧 23:02, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Atsme, the IP is engaged in good-faith editing, not vandalism. Rather than edit-war with them, I suggest humoring them a bit and let them finish what they started. They did stake out a spot on the talk page (since deleted) so I wouldn't assume they aren't willing to talk. The corporate histories here (CBS, Westinghouse, Viacom) are rather complicated. Arguably a short stub for a short-lived incarnation may be helpful to readers looking to sort out the corporate histories. I'm not saying there needs to be an article titled CBS Corporation (1997), but I don't think such an article should be rejected out-of-hand. – wbm1058 (talk) 00:11, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Morbidthoughts: It seems that ECP also involved in edit warring that violates 1RR and i see only one non-ECP users that adding and reverting most contents. So I my opinion, this is edit warring that mostly involved by ECP users, bit like more a content dispute for me. So the page needs to be temporary fully protected and taking the dispute resolutions on talk page to resolve the situation. 110.137.190.132 (talk) 02:27, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you MelanieN.

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Multiple IP user violating BLP by changing surname from Shon to Son. [176][177][178][179]. — Paper9oll (📣 • 📝) 04:28, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Paper9oll: It's not vandalism: see the comments from 2014 at the top of the talk page (there is confusion about Shon/Son). There should be a more recent explanation of why the changes are being reverted. Johnuniq (talk) 09:50, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnuniq: As per source provided in the article, you can see the image depicted her surname as Shon. In addition, the link provided in the talk page also listed her name as Shon. Furthermore, user Lonedirewolf didn't provide RS to support his claims on Son usage either. In fact, I'm not the only editor reverting it, other watcher that normally edits Korean-related article also reverted it. — Paper9oll (📣 • 📝) 10:04, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Good, but persuading me is not relevant. The point is that an explanation should be on article talk and passing editors should be encouraged (with a link in the edit summary of reverts) to see that explanation and discuss if wanted. Johnuniq (talk) 10:11, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnuniq: Erm okay, I forgot to also mentioned that the article have 3 RS (inclusive the talk page link and also 1 link of school website) supporting her surname. Also, it isn't really my fault for not directing IP user to the talk page (frankly speaking, only minority of IP user would bothered about going to talk page. If it's registered user, I can expect to be more interested) as other editor with more experience and higher edit count, didn't do as well. Looks talking so much, won't likely change your mind, so {{not done}} for request?
To be clear, I am hoping someone else will decide whether to protect the article or to decline the request. I just wanted to say that the talk shows genuine confusion (from 2014) and attempts to change the name should not be called vandalism. Johnuniq (talk) 23:42, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Samsara: Yes, the disruption stops last May 6, 2020. The last edit happens last December 2020 without disruptive activity.

Querubin (talk) 13:25, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still a little concerned by your phrasing, which could be interpreted as not understanding how protection works. When you enable protection, you will simply not see attempts at disruption occurring. That doesn't mean there aren't people looking to disrupt. However, given that it's about 18 months remaining of a five-year protection, I've changed it to indef pending changes. However, please, if you're not quite sure about the differences between semi-protection and pending changes (the main one being that pending changes DOES show attempts at disruption, while semi does not if the edits aren't autoconfirmed), maybe read WP:PP and related documents again.

Semi-protection: persistent removal of reliably sourced information. Fathomharvill (talk) 23:46, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. There is a discussion about whether the material that's been removed is WP:DUE for the article on the article's Talk page. While the static IP editor who has removed the paragraph at the center of this dispute has done so with an unhelpful and WP:CLUEless edit summary, to suggest that removing material sourced to a stock photo website and a personal blog is disruptive on its face may be a stretch. Edit warring by a static IP should be addressed through the other mechanisms we have to resolve that. Any other questions about the appropriateness or inappropriateness of the material at the center of the dispute should continue to occur in the ongoing Talk page discussion.

    @BrxBrx:As you can see, in order to assume good faith, I can only say that he may use multiple accounts (not confirmed yet), repeatedly delete content on multiple pages, and some include references. And I want to prevent him from being able to delete content arbitrarily through multiple accounts in an unregulated situation, what can I do is to restore the deleted content and remind others that someone seems to have used multiple accounts to escape responsibility and rule.It's just a personal point of view. I may know who he is and that an account with more than 40,000 edits may not be him. But his behavior led me to find some records on some pages. It is suspected that the account with more than 40,000 edits used multiple accounts, but the records are not enough and it is difficult to be used as evidence.2402:7500:5D5:6194:0:0:3C12:3803 (talk) 01:18, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Harsha (director) and redirects

Temporary semi-protection: 3 days or so. A new PAID editor or two, likely acting in good faith are repeatedly rewriting Harsha (director). One of them has also tried to rewrite the redirect A. Harsha. 3 days is enough time for them to "get educated" in how Wikipedia handles COI/PAID editing, and they should be auto-confirmed by then anyway. Auto-confirm rather than page-block to discourage non-logged-in editing and to prevent a "block" in a new, seemingly-good-faith editor's block log.

Not done. The anonymous IP addresses could not refrain from engaging in political arguments that had nothing to do with improving the article. An article talk page is not a forum. Persistent usage of a talk page as a forum is a legitimate reason to protect it. The duration of protection seems rather long for a talk page, however. @Valereee: 3 months? ~Anachronist (talk) 05:20, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Anachronist feel free to adjust, but the same meatpuppet IPs have been arguing at Talk:List of lighthouses in China for six weeks nonstop, and I do mean nonstop. There's a forum somewhere that's got a bunch of Hongkongers who think registering an account will somehow make them more vulnerable to Chinese surveillance all whipped up that WP has a pro-Chinese bias in certain list articles. It's very strange. —valereee (talk) 11:30, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong objection to semi-protection as many of the edit warriors are autoconfirmed and this would privilege them above other editors, despite the fact that many are making no effort to engage in discussion. Several are extended-confirmed (though usually offering good faith edit summaries or also discussing on talk). See WP:ROUGHSEMI. Very few bad faith or vandalism edits, based on an editing dispute with autoconfirmed participants and constructive IP edits are being made. Full protection or no protection. — Bilorv (talk) 00:07, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi three days Sorry Bilorv but working out what is going on would take quite a while. I see IPs edit warring. If edit warring continues from autoconfirmed users, please ping me and I'll have a look. You might do that from article talk where you propose that the article be reset to version at a particular date/time and protected to allow a full discussion or RfC. If it's just a couple of editors, warn them and I'll let them know that further edit warring will result in a block. Johnuniq (talk) 01:10, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnuniq: working out what is going on would take quite a while is the reason I made the summary. I don't agree that one should take an admin action without a full understanding of the situation, and if you can't afford the time then let another admin take it. If there was serious harm in the "wrong version" then I would understand urgency but this is just back-and-forth over two reasonable versions of an article, neither of which there is yet consensus for. — Bilorv (talk) 01:15, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
