Pavin Chachavalpongpun

Reason: Repeated attempts to delete the infobox image or replace it with a non-free image. Khiikiat (talk) 07:43, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Khiikiat, have you reviewed Commons:YouTube_files prior to uploading the YouTube screenshot, File:ปวิน ชัชวาลพงศ์พันธ์.jpg, to Commons on Sept 9? El_C 12:21, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@El C: I'm sorry, but I don't understand the point you are making. Is there a problem with the image? Khiikiat (talk) 21:25, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Khiikiat: question, not a point. A yes or no would suffice. El_C 21:34, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@El C: The link is broken (commons:COM:YouTube files); I have now started a deletion discussion at commons:Commons:Deletion_requests/File:ปวิน_ชัชวาลพงศ์พันธ์.jpg. Thanks for pointing out this problem. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:57, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Right, I keep forgetting that commons:commons duplicates off project, unlike languages (en:wp). Thanks for looking into this. El_C 21:09, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

LeSean McCoy

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – It was reported that he plans on retiring, but he has not officially retired yet. This will not occur until Sunday, after the report surfaced, IP addresses began editing the page frequently stating he has already retired. We probably only need it protected through Sunday if that can be done. Rockchalk717 20:47, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary pending changes protection: Persistent Vandalism. Mattplaysthedrums (talk) 08:12, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mattplaysthedrums, when this happens on your user talk page, please report the harassment at WP:AIV and avoid reverting the edits yourself until the user is blocked. The user may else feel encouraged to continue reverting, which you can not prevent in that moment.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – The persistent addition of unsourced content from IP users has returned as soon as the past page protection expired. I have warned users on talk pages and edit summaries but they do not want to add a source. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 08:00, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Steve1989MREInfo

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP editors continuously re-adding statements, without evidence, that this YouTuber has died of botulism (he is known for eating old military rations on camera), a recurring joke in his community. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) please always ping! 06:11, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, they seem to be coming from the same IPs, so maybe discuss with them on their respective talk pages first. Jeuno (talk) 06:41, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeuno: I can't tell if 135.180.129.208 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) is socking or not, they made the bizarre decision to {{cn}} tag the vandalism death claim, which then a third IP totally deleted, now the original IP is back to trying to reinstate the death claim. I saw this as possible coordinated action (one sock makes outrageous claim, another sock makes it "balanced" so maybe it'll stick around) but could be wrong—decisions here are up to admins for a reason. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) please always ping! 06:55, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Psiĥedelisto: If they continue doing this then the admins can block the associated IPs from editing the page or put pending changes, as there seems to be no auto-confirmed accounts (as of now) that are claiming that the subject died. Could be potentially either sockpuppets or a group of people. Jeuno (talk) 07:03, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Twenty:20 (film)

Reason: Requesting semi-protection for at least 1 year, but prefer 3. There has been a 7 year long stream of disruptive cast reordering edits on this article switching the order of Mohanlal and Mammootty in the credits for the movie. The article has been protected many, many times because of this disruption [1]. Each time the protection expires, the behavior resumes. There have been five year long protections already. The last protection expired expired last November, and there's been a least 18 disruptive attempts since then. Further, there's a never ending stream of attempts to change either the running time or the box office results. All of this is sourced to new editors or unregistered IP editors. I am loathe to apply such a long protection, but nothing is working to stop this silly war. I am an administrator, but given how many times I've had to revert this silliness I consider myself WP:INVOLVED at this point. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 13:13, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Malformed request. Anarchyte (talk) 11:08, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adam's Bridge

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because there is enough evidence on the topic that proves that it's historical name should be the title of the article which is Ram Setu Bridge , the name Adam's Bridge was a name that was given to it by a White Supremacist (Adam) during the British Raj and it is wrong to take away it's original name because a white man decided to name it after his name. It hurts the feelings ng of many people because the name that is being used for the bridge is not a name given by the local people but the name given by the colonizers. I rest my case.Parth006 (talk) 10:40, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Femi Oluwole

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Oluwole is a minor but controversial figure in UK politics and some people seem to have a specific hatred of him for reasons that go beyond his politics (*cough*racism*cough*). Lately we have an IP hopping vandal who keeps on making nonsensical additions disparaging Oluwole. I'm pretty certain that it is just one person, deliberately IP hopping, as they always misuse the word "elected" in the same bizarre and distinctive way. A decent period of semi-protection might persuade them to go away. DanielRigal (talk) 18:07, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2021 California gubernatorial recall election

Temporary semi-protection: Continuous edit-warring by various editors. Especially IP ones who keep adding results, turnouts and reporting percentages from their preferred sources or even if it might not be what the source says any longer.

As I was banned from it and don't plan to get involved again even after getting unblocked (block me if I do), I ask the page be protected for a while so any edit-warring users can be blocked/banned from the page.

It seems the results will take many days to get counted. In the last 2 days only 4,000 votes have been counted according to the California Secretary of State. LéKashmiriSocialiste (talk) 10:24, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. The IPs seem to have resolved their sourcing dispute. BTW, Talk page? I've heard of it, LéKashmiriSocialiste... El_C 11:30, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@El C: Actually they haven't resolved their dispute, I have checked. And it's not just one user who has engaged in an edit war, it's many. At least five if not more. Which is why I didn't use the talk page. How many people do you want me to talk to? I talked the last time and it didn't get me anywhere. And I'm not going to spend more time on an article where I am blocked and where people will never see eye-to-eye. Please protect the article. It's your choice not to, but you're just allowing edit wars by leaving it unprotected. LéKashmiriSocialiste (talk) 12:55, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
LéKashmiriSocialiste, if you clicked on the link (un-piped: Talk:2021_California_gubernatorial_recall_election#This_article_documents_a_current_election), you'd see it's by yours truly. Anyway, I'll have another look. Checking to see if protection is necessary. For the bot. El_C 12:59, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, looked again, didn't reveal much, again, I'm afraid. Seems like normal'ish editorial stuff. Maybe you can provide some diffs and summaries of the disruption, explaining why it is so in those instances...? El_C 13:02, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@El C: You're focusing on older edits when edit wars are still happening. Like this one where editors with starting IPs 95 and 67 keep changing the reporting vote percentage [2], [3]. I've just showed the most recent instance here but it's been going on for a while. LéKashmiriSocialiste (talk) 13:05, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
LéKashmiriSocialiste, please try to explain better. Are the numbers fabricated? If so, by whom? If I can block one or two unconfirmed users, I'd rather do that than shut down this page entirely to all of em. El_C 13:19, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's inappropriate to accuse someone of fabrication. They're probably simply misunderstanding one of the sources, NY Times which states the reported vote as ">95%" meaning more than 95% which is usual for it in every poll. And I assume they don't understand what ">95%" means. I didn't too a few years earlier. No source as far as I know shows the reporting percentage as 95%. I'd ask them if they weren't an IP, as IPs keep shifting, and if I wanted to spend any time on that article. So no I don't believe they are fabricating at all. LéKashmiriSocialiste (talk) 13:27, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if that's been explained to them (even just in edit summaries), and they persist, then it is effectively a form of data fabrication (i.e. they seem to be using/reading edit summaries, so simply chucking it down to incompetence may not be sufficient in that instance). That is to say, when WP:AGF hits a brick wall, then we have to go the WP:PACT route, even if it might somehow misrepresent genuine intention (which, short of express admission or telepathy, is unknowable).
Anyway, if that hasn't been done, there are ways to at least try to get that across, like with a WP:DUMMY edit and so on. I'm just having a hard time parsing what's happening, so I'll keep this request open and leave it to another admin, because your explanations are still not entirely connecting for me and I'm sort of losing hope that seeking further clarifications from you will remedy that (I'm sorry to say). El_C 13:44, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@El C: It seems I misinterpreted. Sorry that happened because I didn't research the page properly and it's too puzzling to research a page I haven't been involved in for over a week. 67.185.196.190 himself has been doing it. In fact they seem to keep reverting their own edits and jumping from one source to another, asides from that of others. Not just the reported votes, but also the votes for candidates/options.

[4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]

Also yes they do seem to have been made aware of his inaccuracies. In fact they have even changed his own reporting percentage once to 97 [11] before changing it back to 95 again [12]. And they later changed it again after editing it as 95 multiple times, this time to 98 [13].

They have also made other problematic edits like taking ownership behavior where they demand to be told which source an editor took the results from [14]. Or adding updates even when there are none [15].

I don't have any time to minutely go through their edits but it seems they simply keep changing the count whenever they see a source with different count. Regardless they have edit warred a lot. There are likely more problematic edits. Though there have been other editors edit warring too, they have edit warred far more than any one. Please block them. LéKashmiriSocialiste (talk) 15:32, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

LéKashmiriSocialiste, if only the CNN/NYT/etc. sources being alluded to weren't a secret... El_C 15:49, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@El C: They're not. I've given you evidence of edit warring but as usual you're doing nothing except being sarcastic. This is getting annoying. If you don't have any intent of doing anything at all please say so, so I don't have to waste more of my time. LéKashmiriSocialiste (talk) 15:53, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Look, you ping'd me. It isn't sarcasm meant to berate. I'm just talking normally. There's multiple CNN sources, for example, so I'm not sure which one is being referenced to be able to check anything. Anyway, I'll leave you to it. El_C 16:01, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No you're not. Calling sources which are public as secret is not normal. Neither is telling me to use the talk page by saying I've heard of it. Or "you'd see it's by yours truly". Starting talking about telepathy isn't normal either. Once is fine. But if you keep doing it, that's the biggest sign of trolling. LéKashmiriSocialiste (talk) 16:08, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Look, i'm saying that you are breaking WP:AGF due to the "supposedly" evidence you brought, to add to it, you got a sanction block from the article. MoonlightVectorTalk page 16:16, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's not "supposedly" when the same behaviour is repeated again and again and a person keeps giving sarcastic responses. And my block has nothing to do with El C's behaviour or my problems with it, even though I admit I was wrong. But it cannot be used as an excuse to avoid one's behaviour. LéKashmiriSocialiste (talk) 16:21, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please close it. LéKashmiriSocialiste (talk) 16:35, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And btw if you're asking me to minutely explain every edit, no thank you. I'm already too exhausted especially after collecting the evidence about 67.185.196.190. And I'm not going to explain every time they reverted. There's a reason diffs are provided, so people can check themselves. Don't do anything since you don't want to. LéKashmiriSocialiste (talk) 16:11, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

LéKashmiriSocialiste, sorry my tone clashed and otherwise didn't resonate. I meant no offense. Many comments ago, I re-opened this request and struck my closure of it. So I (still) invite other admins to have a look. Perhaps they'll be able to grasp what I couldn't. Your evidence is still here for all to see. I'm just done with this request, for now (this time for real). See ya. El_C 17:40, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Anderson High School, Lerwick

Reason: High level of vandalism - head teacher has been renamed to "Big Val" a few times (has been changed back to original version), address has been changed constantly (it's always been in Lerwick, Shetland, not - as in one example - Mumbai) and also "controversies" (originally titled "Pedo Scandal") section has been added about a teacher who was convicted for sexual harassment (this section has since been deleted due to it being inappropriately added and not notable). I feel that protection is needed to prevent the controversies section being added again and prevent users vandalising this page inappropriately and adding unnecessary sources.

Charumitra

Reason: High level of IP edits adding false information. Basically there is a popular TV show character in India with this name in a historical drama. However, the character is fictional and IPs keep trying to assert she is a real person when there is no supporting evidence (the writers of the TV show made her up but other characters in the the show are real historical figures). We sorted out this mess at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charumitra. The IPs keep trying to add back content that was removed per consensus at the AFD. I would prefer long term semi-protection as I doubt this problem will go away if it’s just done for a few days or even a month.4meter4 (talk) 02:35, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Steamed curry

Reason: Persistent vandalism from multiple anonymous and newly registered users deleting referenced content and the references themselves to the steamed curry's possible origin in Cambodia and replacing it with unreferenced claims with steamed curries originating in Thailand. The page was already protected for a week last month due to constant vandalism, but the protection, unfortunately, was ineffective. After I sought the administrator intervention against vandalism one registered vandal was permanently banned for consistently disruptive edits to this and other Cambodia-related articles. I thought that should be the end of it, but now there's what seems to be yet another Thai nationalist (or the same one under a different username) starting his rampage, therefore I'm starting to see a pattern here and am requesting the page's permanent protection against edits from anonymous and newly-registered users.

It is difficult for me to see what is the problem here though I imagine it involves IP 36.68.220.192. Is it a dispute over what is written in a few commented out texts?? Essentially a dispute over content that can’t be seen? That aside, there are many, many unregistered users editing this article and there would be collateral damage if protection were applied. So I decline partly because this seems to me to be a content dispute but mainly because there would be collateral damage. I encourage editors to resolve their differences in some other way, perhaps by way of dialogue on the article talk page. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 14:41, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Black Death

(So sorry, I accidentally requested a protection lowering instead of an edit for this page. I am new to Wikipedia editing and don’t know how to delete that one. Apologies for the trouble!)

The ‘rats spread the plague’ in the case of the Black Death specifically is inaccurate.

It seems like the first part mentioning it, with the patterns of spreading and where it went geographically, just tacked ‘rats’ onto actually cited information without validating what is a popular but mostly debunked theory.

Were rats a major factor in some other plagues? Yes. Is there historical evidence that they a primary cause of the Black Death? No, quite the opposite. Historical evidence and modern modeling techniques suggest it was spread almost entirely by human-to-human contact. The most obvious reason being that rat migratory patterns (even accounting for ships) do not line up with the speed the Black Death spread. As well as other historical accounts where rats did cause the spread not aligning with the accounts of the Black Death. 2600:1700:120:6410:B876:233E:D86F:A9EF (talk) 00:34, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree with reducing protection to this talk page, at most to GS, but disagree with the other related proposals (the main article, or the covid-19 lab leak entry). As suggested by the daily page views figure, it has received much less atention compared to its June levels. At that time, arguments in favor of upping protection to DS (see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1070), stressed "increased disruption around COVID origins", and "IP-based unproductive edits" which are not to be found in recent weeks anywhere on that talk page. Perusing its history, the last agressive discussion was made by AdoringNanny on August 28th, other than that it is easy to see how edits from new users or even IPs are made civilly, which is likely due to to the great efforts of moderation made by Shibbolethink and others.

User talk:Blaze The Wolf

Reason: The persistent vandalism and sockpuppetry of Jun Matsumoto appears to have stopped. I requested my talk page be protected so I would not persistently be asked by socks to change edits on the Jun Matsumoto page, and since the sockpuppetry seems to have stopped I no longer have a need to have my talk page protected. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:12, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotected. No biggie, but I did say at the time that I thought the request was premature and so was acting on it. El_C 16:24, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DRASTIC

Reason: Recent high level of IP edit warring against consensus (established on the talk page per WP:NPOV and WP:FRINGE): [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30]

There has also been some new user edit warring/disruptive editing: [31] [32]

Given the nature of DRASTIC, I would bet very good money there is off-wiki coordination involved...

Given all of this, requesting semi-protection. — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 17:43, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: I was the IP that made several changes which were reverted by Paul Siebert, which I took to the talk page before reinstating one of my changes, which was based on a summary of an RFC Shibbolethink here posted and withdrew. I have now posted that RfC discussion for proper closure in Wikipedia:Closure_requests#Other_types_of_closing_requests, and I am not the only editor who notes the concern with Shibbolethink's preferred label. Can Shibbolethink explain how my edits were out of the norm for Wikipedia editing, requiring this higher level of protection? 217.35.76.147 (talk) 17:55, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    See WP:BRD and WP:EW. Two policies you did not follow when you continued to edit your preferred wording into the page even when multiple others had reverted your additions. I might add, disruption is not just from this user, but by several different IP users. — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 21:02, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Was going to make a request, before Twinkle told me this already existed, so support: disruption by IPs over the short term has increased, and, as one would expect from something under WP:COVIDDS which is being actively promoted by a "loose collection of internet activists", such disruption is unlikely to stop without encouragement.

No Time to Die

Reason: This was a rather poor decision to stop all IPs editing given the disruption was more from registered editors deleting the plot section, rather than only being IPs. Can we remove the protection now, just to see if the problems recommence? If waves of IPs start deleting sections, then it can reimposed, but at the moment it isn't working - I'm having to leave numerous edit requests on the talk page, which is a waste of everyone's time. Thanks. - The editor formally known as SchroCat, editing from 2A00:23C7:2B86:9800:C9A6:5975:8A9A:D14B (talk) 11:59, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Administrators are unlikely to reverse this protection without ToBeFree's permission. If you can't log into your account, I suggest you create a new one, making it clear that it's your new account (i.e. "Schrocat2"), otherwise continue with the edit requests. Sro23 (talk) 12:36, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't want to have an account and there is no reason for me to have an account. I am happy with occasional editing as an IP, but the protection on the page was a heavy-handed and misguided step that shouldn't have been made in the first place, given the number of registered users that were involved in deleting the entire plot section. - 2A00:23C7:2B86:9800:C9A6:5975:8A9A:D14B (talk) 12:39, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Declined ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:03, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Could you try to give a proper reason for the decline please, one that focuses on the article and not whether I have an account or not.

Barış Arduç

Reason: Indefinite semi-protection/Pending changes protection. Long term issues with vandalism and BLP violations from IP editors and SPA's. IPs keep on editing the article to add false claims that this person is married to Elçin Sangu, basically every IP edit since early September has been reinserting this bit of vandalism. There are also a couple of SPA's in the page history dedicated to doing the same thing. This is seemingly related to a TV show that the two of them starred in where they got "married" in 2017, so given it's been 4 years already it doesn't seem like this disruption is going to end any time soon. 192.76.8.82 (talk) 16:40, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Batman: The Adventures Continue

Reason: Masked IP editors with UK IP addresses are back to making nonsensical edits about characters being "new" to the Batman animated series continuity. Page was protected for a month but probably needs long-term protection. Thanks! Posters5 (talk) 00:32, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I should add that one or maybe more of them has/have an obsession with trying to make it appear as if Black Mask is a new addition to the animated series continuity, even though he was featured in previous comics based on BTAS.

Cryptozoology

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because cryptozoology is not, as your page describes it, a “pseudoscience.” A pseudoscience is a false science that does not follow actual scientific rules, and is biased. Cryptozoologists are not biased. As with any science, all cryptozoologists have our opinions and hypotheses, but we are as honest and inspective as any other scientists. We hear theories, we test them. We are given reports, we investigate them. It is true that we do not always follow the scientific method, but the scientific method simply does not apply. If you were looking for bears in the forest to determine how their species is growing and to gather population info, that would be science. We are doing the exact same thing. Think of the platypus. Platypi were not believed to exist for the longest time, and then they were found in the flesh and nobody questions them anymore. If one day, someone found, say, Sasquatch or el Chupacabra, it would be fact and in a few generations most people wouldn’t even know that they had once been cryptids. You should lower the protection on this Wikipedia article because the description of cryptozoology as a pseudoscience is wrong and biased. Cryptozoologists are real scientists with real scientific goals and real scientific expertise. I am one of many who have tried to remove this description, and like everyone else who tried, I have been denied and am insulted as a cryptozoologist. I get that Wikipedia tries as hard as possible to be reliable a source and I respect that, but honestly: get over yourselves and except cryptozoology for what it is: a science (perhaps a minor and challenged one, but a science nonetheless). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.188.17.58 (talk) 21:23, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) Not unprotected – This page was protected by the action of the Arbitration Committee in this case. If you want the page to be unprotected, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment would be the proper venue, though I doubt the Arbitration Committee would be sympathetic, since cryptozoology is still widely considered a pseudoscience.

Night Safari, Singapore

Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – This is a long explanation. Starting from last month, a revolving IP mobile app massively revamped Night Safari, Singapore, Jurong Bird Park, River Safari and Singapore Zoo, but due to unfamiliarity with the verification policy, has not added any sources.

My previous attempts to communicate with them have been left unseen due to WP:THEYCANTHEARYOU and <!--messages--> were removed. I do not think there would be any good of asking for a block as the IP simply changes every time and a range block would affect a lot of Singapore.

The IP recently began to edit again, and as usual still not adding any sources or explaining their edits. May I request for all four pages to be protected under pending changes for at least a month? Under the policy, this would be due to repeated adding of unsourced content, but my primary aim is to spur the IP to create an account. If not, the alternative would be to put Night Safari, Singapore under pending changes, as the page was just recently edited. Seloloving (talk) 21:32, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. The Night Safari article is heavily edited by IPs, and most of their edits appear constructive. There is one recent problem edit at that article and no recent problem edits at the other articles.  MelanieN (talk) 22:19, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – There is an ongoing battle to downplay or overplay the impact of the word.

@Cwmhiraeth: I hate to dispute this, but... is there any reason to not protect this? It's a redirect which should never be edited, especially by newbies. It's gotten 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 test edits from non-extended confirmed users - and zero helpful ones. Clearly more newbies are going to come across this page and make more test edits.

@Less Unless: It actually isn't a content dispute. There has been already a consensus over the content. It's the IPs who continuously and intentionally remove the information. First it was Unknown artist a vandal user, then their WP:SOCKs and now different IPs who may or may not be related to the blocked user, are purposely disrupting the article. There's this pattern of vandalizing by different IPs every day. Bionic (talk) 13:12, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"...and now different IPs who may or may not be related to the blocked user, are purposely disrupting the article."
A. The user (Unknown artist) is currently not blocked (and hasn't been blocked since February 2019)
B. Based on what you've said, you are literally just assuming for your own sake that every user/IP that has removed the section/information is the same person.
I would agree that this is more so content dispute at this point, it would be best to discuss at the respective section on the talk page, because at this point, you're the one edit warring to keep the information you've added rather than discuss it at all. Magitroopa (talk) 13:59, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are no 'users who are making improvements' here. Only a WP:SPA whose edits are virtually all DWTS-related.

List of Talking Tom & Friends (TV series) episodes

Reason: Repeated template vandalism by an IPv6 range-hopper, restarting hours after initial protection expired ( 2603:9000:6c01:79c:(varying portion), IP range is too broad to block per this now-archived discussion I had at the Teahouse). See the following diffs (first three from before first protection, last one from today): (false as the episode he edited had already aired). (episode 2 of season 5 is messed up), (original release date for episode one of season five disappears), After the previous protection expired the vandal returned to mess up the article again (Season five is not available in the table of contents). TBH, for edits so simple a 6-year-old could perform them, they are quite annoying. Tube·of·Light 15:29, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Closer (2021 film)

Reason: Dave Chappelle made jokes, people are taking offense. It seems highly unlikely that people will respect WP:NPOV. I suggest increasing the page protection sooner rather than later (knowing fully that will lock me out too). -- 109.79.170.230 (talk) 23:27, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I came here to ask for page protection as well. IP vandalism. CaffeinAddict (talk) 23:50, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. This article is brand new, still being built up. Some IPs are taking constructive part in that process. There is also some IP vandalism. At this point it would be proactive to protect the page on the assumption that IP vandalism is going to become a major problem. If that turns out to be true after a day or two, ask again. MelanieN (talk) 19:44, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I find it strange that my constructive edits undermined my own request for greater page protection, even with another editor also asking for page protection. We will wait and see. -- 109.78.199.18 (talk) 20:00, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. This appears to be a content dispute involving the attempted removal of longstanding content. Several of the participants are auto-confirmed so semi-protection would not help. It has not yet reached the point of needing full protection. The issue should be discussed at the article's talk page - and if you believe the section under discussion involves BLP issues, which it may, you could ask for input at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. MelanieN (talk) 20:21, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lee Jae-myung

Reason: I am conflicted on asking for semi-protection because this politician just won his party primaries and has a good chance of being the next president of South Korea. As a result, the page is receiving a lot of attention and edits it needs, which is helpful because the page currently in somewhat poor shape. However, there have been persistent extremely biased edits that read like campaign propaganda. It seems it would help to disallow IP address-users and only allow registered users to edit the page.

Reason: Dear Sir/Madam, My text about StockVideos.org was deleted from Wikipedia: Drafts. I would like to talk to the person who did it, and discuss my plans further, but I can’t do this because my account is blocked. Please, remove the restriction from my account. Vladrichi (talk) 16:57, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see any restrictions on your account. I do see the draft that was deleted and I see a few problems. One, it was not written in an encyclopaedic tone; two, it was unsourced (it should be sourced to reliable and independent sources); three, you have a conflict of interest. I suggest you spend some time familiarising yourself with Wikipedia's content policies and guidelines. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:04, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SnatchBot

Hi, I use SnatchBot as an educational tool and think it worth an entry. When I went to check if anyone had written one, I found that in 2017 SnatchBot/someone had repeatedly attempted to create an entry, which led to a permanent block: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snatchbot. Now in 2021, a quick check shows they have hundreds of results on Google Books and Google Scholar that would make for reliable, neutral, references. There are a couple of interesting quotes from their founders on AI. I've drafted how I think it might look in my sandbox. I've approached the original editor who placed the block but they have not been active since 2018. Seleucus123 11:27, 11 October 2021‎ (UTC)[reply]

Not done. Seleucus123, although this page was deleted multiple times, is was never protected. That said, please don't create it right now. Your sandbox version is too promotional (WP:PROMO).

Alain Berset

Reason: Alain Berset is the Swiss Minister of Health. Because of the Corona pandemic, some people disagree with his politics, so they try to make him look particularly bad in Wikipedia in different language versions, they spam it in six different wikipedia language versions with same text. The same in the English Wikipedia. An IP posts a tendentious, partly erroneous text. The discussion leads nowhere. The article should be protected in the neutral version version (this one https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alain_Berset&oldid=1049930279). It can not be that someone is so misrepresented and tendentious. Any subsequent changes can be later made after talk on the discussion page. Thanks KurtR (talk) 21:16, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: this is a highly controversial topic; since it was rewritten mid-September almost all edits have been trying to 'correct' it in GF, and this is expected to continue indefinitely. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 13:09, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this one needs some more details. The article is about a traditional Shi'ite festival held in Iran celebrating the assassination of Umar ibn al-Khattab, a figure held in high esteem by Sunni Muslims. The celebration is officially banned by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Though the festival dates back to the 16th century, a 20th-century revisionist tradition appears to have arisen that has replaced Umar ibn al-Khattab with Umar ibn Sa'ad, a figure of no special importance to Sunnis, seemingly in an effort to improve Sunni-Shi'i relations.
All of this is well-sourced in the article. However, there are many people out there who honestly believe that the festival has always been about Umar ibn Sa'ad, and who are coming to 'correct' the article, obviously without any sources, some with friendly explanations, others outright vandalizing the page [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50]. I have reverted this 3 times today, but the misinformation is present at the page right now because I don't want to break 3RR.
Tomorrow 16 October it will be 9 Rabi' al-Awwal AH, the first day of the festival, which will last until 27 Rabi' al-Awwal / 3 November. Hence the uptick in disruption. However, I believe that the very nature of the article ensures that there will always be a flood of IPs and new users coming to 'correct' this. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 23:01, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Renato Aragão

Reason:

Hello there, the page Renato Aragão has been vandalized by some users who think it's funny to include language to say he's senile because of jokes he made, etc. This is non-encyclopedic, in my opinion. Is it possible for anyone to remove the last sentence of the first paragraph and lock the page for autoconfirmed users only maybe for 48-72h? Thank you!

It's text that says "In his later years, Didi has grown increasingly senile, going as far as suggesting that the American rapper P. Diddy was named after himself." -User:Plurabilities[51]

Target of edits by state-paid editors (Riyadhcafe87) and pattern of similar PR actions by registered and IP users in the same time frame (diff, diff, diff) and sporadically (diff, diff) suggests target of sockpuppet networks operated by paid masters. Increasing protection to semi-protection would greatly improve both ability to detect sockpuppetry and deter likely future vandalism due to the controversial nature of Saudi articles (diff in other page and diff in other page).

(edit conflict)
Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue.. Cornerstone2.0, this involves a single user, so it isn't a protection matter. Also, as mentioned on the IP's talk page (here), I think you went a bit overboard with that final warning (i.e. skipped gradual escalation for no apparent reason). When dealing with newcomers, it's best to treat them like, well, newcomers. So, for eg., RE: your edit summary which reads:
RV edits 69.118.194.250 (talk) need a reliable source
A newcomer would probably have an easier time grasping something to the effect of:
Revert (WP:RV) edits 69.118.194.250 (talk) need a reliable source (WP:RS).
If adopted as a general practice, such a slight alteration can actually end up making a not inconsiderable difference. Hope that makes sense. Feel free to contact me if issues still persist. El_C 10:59, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Public Investment Fund

Reason: Edited by paid actors employed by the fund (Special:Contributions/Riyadhcafe87). Approximately 20 reverts in the last month as part of an extended edit war. Large amount of similar IP edits that remove criticism (diff, diff, diff) misrepresent public reaction to their actions (such as by calling overwhelming criticism controversial) (diff), or tout figures (diff) indicates likely sockpuppetry by paid PR master or Saudi state agents. Semi-protection would greatly improve ability to detect such sockpuppetry.

Note also vandalism by IPs (diff). A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 12:02, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

List of Talking Tom & Friends (TV series) episodes

Reason: Note: I had requested protection 1 week before and that request was declined because there was "not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection". I disagree as it's always the same unblockable editor (IP range is too large to block) and there will be almost no collateral damage since all the constructive editors are already semi-confirmed. Here is the old request: Reason: Repeated template vandalism by an IPv6 range-hopper, restarting hours after initial protection expired ( 2603:9000:6c01:79c:(varying portion), IP range is too broad to block per this now-archived discussion I had at the Teahouse). See the following diffs (first three from before first protection, last one from today): (false as the episode he edited had already aired). (episode 2 of season 5 is messed up), (original release date for episode one of season five disappears), After the previous protection expired the vandal returned to mess up the article again (Season five is not available in the table of contents). TBH, for edits so simple a 6-year-old could perform them, they are quite annoying. Tube·of·Light 15:29, 9 October 2021 (UTC). The editor had again messed up the article yesterday by removing the airing date for one episode. Tube·of·Light 02:52, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. If vandalism resumes like that after the prior protection expired, it means the prior duration wasn't long enough. There is no way to tell how long it needs to be.

Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association

Reason: The anon IP vandal (with constantly changing addresses, but all from the same geographic area) who had been attacking Rose Parade has moved on to this page, having apparently gotten a message (though not the right one) from the protection on the previous page. Adding repeated unsourced, and according to all current reports, inaccurate, claims that the 2022 parade will be cancelled. This despite the naming of judges, a grand marshal, and a queen's court.

Ivan Poddubny

Reason: The protection was unreasonable and administrator use it now to put his own agenda. For example, deleting mentions of nationality after setting the protection was irrational since this information was mentioned before and everybody were ok with it for a long time. No credible sources were provided for such after-protection changes. Also it is important aspect counting the fact that article is about person from post-colonial country and some editors and administrator made speculation on his nationality. Secondly, the changes of the name provided by admin has no credibility too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ґендерний Джихад (talk • contribs) 22:30, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. Articles are protected to preserve stability, and it looks as if that is the reason for it. Your assertions about other editors are better suited for another venue. Go to WP:ANI and make your behavior-related complaints there. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:00, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chernivtsi

Reason: Continued removal of the Romanian name of the city from the infobox and the lead by different users and IPs over a long period of time. This city had an ethnic Romanian majority in the 1860s (if I remember correctly the decade) and was part of Romanian states (Moldavia, Kingdom of Romania) for centuries. The Romanian name should be kept for its historical importance. Romanians still make up 6.2% of the city's population. Here are diffs showing the name getting deleted on this year (there are many more from 2020 or earlier too): [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [57] [58]. Note this has been happening since at least 2016 [59], 2015 [60] AND 2013 (and probably earlier) [61]. I believe permanent semi-protection would be ideal. See also other cities in Ukraine that use foreign names: Lviv, Izmail, Uzhhorod, Khotyn, Sevastopol, etc.. It is common practice to use non-Ukrainian names on cities that have a lot of non-Ukrainian history. Super Ψ Dro 14:40, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Coat of arms of Lithuania

Reason: User Marcelus is aggressively removing quality content, references from article Coat of arms of Lithuania (1, 2). In these edits he removed facts about the Coat of arms of Lithuania, published by the Oxford University Press and Lithuanian National Museum of Art. This article currently is extended-protected due to disruptive editing in the past, however user Marcelus is extended user, thus he is able to perform such edits. Please apply sanctions to him for removing quality content and ensure necessary protection to this article. The latest removal of content was performed today (number 2). -- Pofka (talk) 06:49, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jimmy Dore

Temporary extended confirmed protection: BLP policy violations – Unfortunately, it seems that a minor disagreement over a few words in the lede has turned into a prolonged edit war; another user is repeatedly re-adding unsourced content to the intro, and is not using edit summaries or talk pages. Temporarily increasing the page protection could (hopefully) require more dialogue and less reverting without getting AN/EW involved.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 21:52, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. The current problem editor, who is extended confirmed, has not posted since they were given a Final Warning. See what happens. If they post disruptively again, it's time for a block. But we do not apply protection, especially ECP protection, because of problems from a single user. MelanieN (talk) 01:59, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Full protection: This page has long been a battleground. I was granted full page protection on this page a few months back. The past few days I have corrected several major errors on this page (such as so-called records that Hoad does not have) put on the page by one editor, who continues his relentless promotion of Lew Hoad on a daily basis. I request full protection for this page. The previous page protection did help, as it was a considerable time after the page protection expired that the editor began his assault on the page again.

@MusikAnimal and Primefac: the protecting admins — do you guys understand what happened with the transclusion count for these listed Taxonomy templates? MusikAnimal, would these templates be on MusikBot II que? (Does it do templates, in general? Does it revisit protected templates, specifically?) El_C 17:02, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@El C I've no idea what changed, but there were many thousands of transclusions before. User:MusikBot II/TemplateProtector does revisit protected templates to raise the protection level as needed, but these taxonomy templates are excluded as per the configuration. They are also already semi-protected via the MediaWiki:Titleblacklist. I think it's safe to unprotect the ones listed here. — MusikAnimal talk 18:24, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Content Dispute/Edit Warring. The user is engaging in discussion but continues to revert, this might help. Venkat TL (talk) 18:14, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Venkat TL and TallMegan, please be aware of WP:3RR. clpo13(talk) 18:25, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Clpo13 He has only made 3 reverts so I think it is not correct to report there, Why not protect this article for a few days so that the other user can focus on resolution instead of edit warring. Venkat TL (talk) 18:39, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm hesitant to apply full protection at this point, as that would prevent uninvolved editors from improving the page, and the disruption appears to have stopped for now. clpo13(talk) 19:08, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Clpo13 ok. let's hope it remains stopped. Venkat TL (talk) 19:11, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Clpo13 I am not the one reverting changes. I tried explaining to Venkat TL why his section was out of place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Editors_Guild_of_India . He reverted 3 times already. Should I report him for this ? TallMegan (talk) 20:21, 19 October 2021 (UTC)TallMegan[reply]
I actually did misidentify your first edit as a revert, but continuing to remove content after Venkat objected is considered edit warring, just as they were edit warring by putting it back constantly. I don't think any reports would be actionable at this time since neither of you has gone beyond 3RR, though page protection might still be an option to force a discussion. clpo13(talk) 20:46, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Sims

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A lot of out-of-the-woodwork SPAs and anon IPs edited this article in great frequency in 2019 to make the subject look bad with weaselly word choice and bending the rules/expectations of sourcing. Page was protected and longer-term registered users with differing views reached consensus on article talk. Starting last week a new registered user deleted the contentious material wholesale, and subsequently a lot of brand new IPs started adding back the material removed in 2019. Requesting short term protection until this sudden interest evaporates. Before last week article only gets substantive edits like once per month. JesseRafe (talk) 19:46, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note that user JesseRafe has engaged in persistent removal of well-referenced material because of WP:IDONTLIKEIT and has not shared a single example of the "weaselly word choice and bending the rules/expectations of sourcing" they allege. They have also referred to me (as well as previous editors) as a "bots" or "trolls", violating WP:NOPA. 2001:569:7FEA:C900:E40B:4D99:287B:AF38 (talk) 20:04, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note, I don't have to "prove" anything of the sort as that behavior was in 2019 as the sentence you are selectively copying from clearly states and in 2019 the page was protected for those very edits three times. JesseRafe (talk) 20:51, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Again, not a single example of the "weaselly word choice and bending the rules/expectations of sourcing" you allege. 2001:569:7FEA:C900:E40B:4D99:287B:AF38 (talk) 21:23, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: JesseRafe's behavior on the article, together with this request to lock out other users from making well-referenced contributions (while calling them "bots" and "trolls"), suggests that they're trying to establish ownership over the article. Notice how they jumped to "Requesting short term protection until this sudden interest evaporates" as soon as one person (myself) tried to contribute to the article. In other words, "sudden interest" apparently means "interest from anyone whatsoever". Thus JesseRafe is not only engaging in disruptive deletion, but also appears to be deliberately misrepresenting the situation to administrators. 2001:569:7FEA:C900:E40B:4D99:287B:AF38 (talk) 20:26, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum, are you one person or 5 (the number of IPs adding this content this week)? How could anyone tell? Seek consensus on the talk page to make this change that would overturn the consensus previously established. It looks like you are trying to brigade this page because you don't like him and not respecting clearly established guidelines while gaslighting me. While there is a surge of IP and newly registered users adding potentially BLP sensitive material seeking PP is the correct move now as it was in 2019. Three times. JesseRafe (talk) 20:51, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"are you one person or 5" I am one person, obviously. My IP is not static.
"How could anyone tell?" By asking before accusing, as you did.
"Seek consensus on the talk page to make this change that would overturn the consensus previously established." What part of my contributions do you wish to dispute, exactly? You need to read WP:OWN, in particular:

An editor reverts justified article changes by different editors repeatedly over an extended period to protect a certain version, stable or not.

An editor reverts a change simply because the editor finds it "unnecessary" without claiming that the change is detrimental. This has the effect of assigning priority, between two equivalent versions, to an owner's version.

An editor reverts a good-faith change without providing an edit summary that refers to relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines, previous reviews and discussions, reliable sources, or specific grammar or prose problems introduced by the edit. Repeating such no-reason reversions after being asked for a rationale is a strong indicator of ownership behavior.

An editor comments on other editors' talk pages with the purpose of discouraging them from making additional contributions.

"It looks like you are trying to brigade this page" Please stop repeating this fantasy of yours, and stop lying to the administrators. There was no brigade. I simply added well-referenced material to the article and you called my contributions vandalism and hoped I would be blocked.
"because you don't like him" Your repeated comments along these lines (such as your previous complaint that additions "make the subject look bad") should make it clear to the administrators what your real rationale is. You don't want any well-referenced material added to the article that portrays the subject in (what you perceive as) a bad light. Please read WP:IDONTLIKEIT and WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT.
"not respecting clearly established guidelines" Given the information above, it should be clear that this applies to you, not me.
"there is a surge of IP and newly registered users adding potentially BLP sensitive material" What "surge" are you referring to, exactly? 2001:569:7FEA:C900:E40B:4D99:287B:AF38 (talk) 21:47, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Per the verifiability policy, the onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content. Violations can be reported at WP:ANEW.

Rachel Levine

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:GENSEX. This article is semiprotected for disruption primarily related to the fact that Levine is a trans woman. However there have been three edits today by autoconfirmed users that have added Levine's deadname (against MOS:DEADNAME and explicit past consensus at the page) or have referred to her as the incorrect gender. The spike in activity is likely related to Levine being in the news today for becoming a four-star admiral. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 00:02, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@El C: Just protect those using extended confirmed protection, the sock is keeping on editing it and may create a new account if the previous will be blocked.

SeanJ 2007, that doesn't really respond to what I said. Again, wrt confirming the sock, the SPI about them is still open. Also, DXSS-TV, for example, wouldn't require any protection, regardless, due to sparse activity. El_C 08:30, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – User:Wugapodes removed temporary protection on May 22, 2021 as a trial to see if protection was still needed (WP:TRYUNPROT).

Semi-protected indefinitely. Tucoxn, why "temporary"? It was indef semi'd before. Also, I don't really understand why earlier Wugapodes had lower[ed] move protection to match edit protection [from admin level to semi] in light of the prolific page move vandalism experienced by that page (though in fairness, in 2009). In any case, I also brought move protection back to admin level. Might as well — I want even EC users to use the WP:RM feature in the unlikely event that there's a valid reason to move the page.

List of lighthouses in Macau

Reason: Currently protected indefinitely. As previously proposed, to set a definite end-time to facilitate settlement. Without that there's little incentive among some quarters to work towards some form of actual settlement. Would suggest a 14- or 30-day one, or at most 90-day, counted from the point when it was first protected. 219.76.24.200 (talk) 12:51, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. List of lighthouses in Macau is a redirect. The target article is not protected and can be edited by anyone. The redirect page is protected, but there has been zero talk page discussion since February. I fail to see how temporary unprotection would accomplish anything. If you have a proposal to make regarding that redirect page, then propose it on the target article's talk page. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:12, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • It has become a redirect because somebody forcibly merged it with another list and refused to discuss other than simply stating their position. By keeping the redirect protected they simply got no incentive to discuss, despite a clear consensus recently on the corresponding WikiProject's talk page. 219.76.24.204 (talk) 07:41, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The disruptive editing was someone attempting to create the article with no sources, and only vague detail (effectively WP:TOOSOON), the protection served as a de facto WP:SALTing (of a redirect). As the article has now been created, the need for protection no longer exists - and so I endorse MKL123's request. (If that's worth anything at all) SSSB (talk) 08:31, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what the prot. criteria are, but if it's within guidelines, I'd like to see semi-prot for 12 months, so it would expire a month after the edit notice, giving the notice time to be renewed before the protection expires.

Reason: Temporary semi-protection – continued persistent WP:BLP violations from an IP editor. (And not just today – this has been going on for a while.) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:38, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • For ongoing issues like this, you're better off going with indefinite semi-protection, and I've never understood why anybody would specifically request for that to be temporary when that just leaves room for more disruption once it expires. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:22, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For the simple reason that most IP editors will not persist after a, say, month-long semi-protection. It is rare that more than that is needed. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:38, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

List of Abby Hatcher episodes

Reason: I recently edited the ratings table on the Abby Hatcher article, so clicking the appropriate season tab redirects you to that section on the episode list. However, it has been reverted which makes the redirect not work, and my edit is more organized with the formatting (2019–20). Plus, the claim for its reversion is that it is a "typo", when it is not.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands

Indefinite semi-protection: many users (both registered and non-registered) who are apparently wow fans/players, insist on entering excessive plot information of the game and has been going on since this edit:

Please, remove full protection from that page. The editor whose request to fully protect the page was accepted is acting in bad faith. Check the revision he was continually reverting. He is also biased and obsessed with adding Cristiano Ronaldo’s 2017 celebration to the history section, despite the lack of reliable sources confirming it had a lasting impact on the rivalry. Even so, despite my objections I kept his additions with slight modifications and that too was reverted before he complained to admins citing non-existent “vandalism”.

Reason: There appears to be a high level of vandalism on the page. The users keep removing factual information and can easily be found with with a few clicks. The subject of the page has been repeatedly edit bombed any time he has made an edit. Some are correct- like editorial comments about the actor in the intro. But this has gone far beyond that. Keyboard warriors seem bent on conflict and not resolution. I would ask that the factual edits be allowed to be reinstated and then the page protected.

Declined Recent removals do not appear to be vandalism. Nosebagbear (talk) 18:35, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Nosebagbear: This article is a target of vandalism as it includes content about a "distinct" group of Muslims, which other Muslims may not be pleasant with. These removals, and such edits should be at least discussed before removal. An edit war has been started by this IP and it will continue unless the page is protected. Sincerely, AdigabrekTalk Circassia 18:51, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Adigabrek:, while I was eminently aware that it would make a logical target for vandalism, I couldn't immediately identify such in the recent history (that would have led to an RFPP now). The returning of that content was done under a statement that it was unexplained, but the IP editor who removed them did do so - they were uncited, on an inherently controversial topic. As of when I assessed this request it clearly wasn't the vandalism underpinning the request, and the edit war wasn't at a level to warrant protection. As we now do have an edit war, with the follow-up edits, I will apply a 48 hour edit war protection. In theory, that could be argued that it should be full protect, to prevent multiple parties edit warring, since there isn't an in-place consensus etc. You should start the discussion yourself on the talk page and ping the most recent IP address to it.

Reason: An IP keeps on removing Thomas West as the successor to Zalmay Khalilzad without any explanation or sources to back them up.

I started a discussion on the talk page over a week ago but they haven't responded and are only reverting me. See Talk:Zalmay Khalilzad#Special Representative for Afghanistan position has not been abolished.

They also keep removing the source, so either they are aware or they don't care for what it says.

I did check that at least some of the templates above are transcluded into some highly used template, but I am not happy with the discussion being at two places. This request must have been accompanied by the above reference before I applied protection, and not after, and certainly should not be used as a reason for the bot to have the flag.

@Ymblanter Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't trying to WP:FORUMSHOP -- I didn't see the request to ping xaosflux until after I had submitted the protection request here, and I also hadn't seen Primefac's objection until after I submitted that reply because I was using WP:REPLYTOOL on a stale version of the page. I was a little uncomfortable having thousands of pages in the template namespace drawing data from a single account's userspace, which is why I didn't locate it there originally, but if the sentiment is that template protection isn't warranted for the data modules, feel free to downgrade it. I did have another bot task in mind that needs TE, but I can always re-request it if that task is approved. --Ahecht (TALK

@Ymblanter and Ahecht: from WP:PERM I was basically deferring to whatever was necessary - assuming that it would be discussed wherever it needed to be - mostly just along the lines of not adding flags to bots that are not needed. If TPROT is appropriate here, I'm fine adding that to the bot -- if SPROT or EPROT are ok, the bot doesn't need more flags. Agree that at the least SPROT is appropriate. — xaosflux Talk 18:36, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Xaosflux and Ahecht: I do not have a strong opinion here. On one hand, the templates are somewhat used, borderline highly used (transcluded), and it is not clear why they should be edited by humans, on the other hand we try not to protect pages unless absolutely needed. I would be fine with both keeping the template editor protection and reducing it to semi. I do not see a good justification for extended confirmed protection (which is supposed to prevent ongoing or imminent disruption, and in most cases should not be applied until semi-protection has proven ineffective).--Ymblanter (talk) 18:45, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Less Unless - thank you. Talk to whom? There are no editors, just random anons and not a single user - it's a series of edits with a different IP address everytime. I noted the issue on the talkpage (wouldn't call it a discussion though because there's nothing to discuss). Besides that, the edit summaries, not just by myself, are clear enough and I doubt they didn't notice them (considering they wrote edit summaries themselves) - the change they do is just factually incorrect, so I'm not going to frequent anonymous, red-linked talk pages to explain that changing facts is not proper behaviour.

Nanakpanthi

Reason: Article was heavily vandalized, riddled with incredibly poor grammar and spelling mistakes, honorific titles, was incredibly repetitive with the same claim being said 5-10 times. The article kept repeating that there were approximately 140 million Nanakpanthis, had dozens of sources that either debunked the claim that was being propagated ironically, many of the sources were riddled with poor grammar and spelling, were irrelevant junk article pieces, and did not even mention any population number which the article used as a justification, or were based on the sayings of a politician or a controversial religious organization rather than research articles or journals or objective data Suthasianhistorian8 (talk) 03:28, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because it is not an Islamic Emirate.

Let the record show that I never have had a service dog, and likely won't ever need one. The nature of the edits in question on my talk page are such that they take just enough factual information from my actual life (most of which is available in the public domain), while embellishing the information in a way that is no longer personally correct of me, and are using cited sources to legitimize the vandalism. That being said, I appreciate the silliness of that part of your response, so thanks for helping me take care of this issue and giving me something to chuckle about. --Jgstokes (talk) 00:53, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Aaliyah

I’m requesting that R.Kelly be removed under spouse. The two were not legally married as she was a minor. As well this was an adult man that sexually abused her and it is quite irresponsible to have that name listed under spouse. Aaliyah was never legally married and that should be documented. She should be respected, especially since it’s been 20 years after her passing. Ninamina1292 (talk) 16:56, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Ninamina1292, the Illegal marriage was already noted in the lead, but I added it to the infobox as well — I presume that was the point of contention. El_C 11:08, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
