Tai Tham script

Reason: IP users keep adding false information. Noktonissian (talk) 15:17, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. El_C 18:28, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Saya no Uta: The Song of Saya

Reason: Recurring removal of lolicon tag, despite themes of lolicon being in the story description Samalik16 (talk) 17:54, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent unsourced death claims. General Ization Talk 22:45, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There is one IPv6 (/64) that has been a continual problem, but several new accounts also. DMacks (talk) 00:02, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:06, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tristan Tate

Reason: See @User:El_C's edit summary from September. Page was recently recreated based on unreliable sources, with notability still not established. I redirected it again. If there is a way to separately protect the page from being recreated without AfC, that might be worth considering. DFlhb (talk) 00:10, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@DFlhb The way may be to move it to draft without leaving a redirect and salt the mainspace title. I'd be down to do the move, would need an admin to salt the mainspace title though. LilianaUwU (talk / contribs) 01:29, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed wikilinks to the redirect, so that we wouldn't have a (tempting) red link. DFlhb (talk) 01:43, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:2022–23 NHL season

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Lemonaka (talk) 20:32, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined for now. Vigorous discussion is valid on talkpages. Seems mostly one editor doing the disruption, who has already been reported to ANI and has also now stated they are retired. If the problem continues beyond this time, feel free to re-request. DMacks (talk) 21:25, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. I'm also not convinced that there is enough recent disruption to justify protection. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:08, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Astor family

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because ....... . Astoriaaldrich (talk) 03:23, 1 January 2023 (UTC) Family list name, Astor origins, religion not correct. Needs to be corrected. Astors were Jewish. Ethnicity tajik. Block needs to be removed and information corrected.[reply]

Not unprotected It's exactly this edit-dispute that led to the protection. No end-runs around talk-page consensus are allowed. DMacks (talk) 03:52, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

101 Tower (Kyiv)

Reason: Persistent copyright violation: There is no freedom of panorama in Ukraine, and the IP deliberately ignores this. Ymblanter (talk) 09:29, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not 100% sure if the alleged exception described at commons:Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/Ukraine#Freedom_of_panorama (permanent link) might apply to a building damaged by a current war, so I don't necessarily see this protection as a strict copyright enforcement – but it's clear that the editing is disruptive, so...

Vijayawada

Temporary extended protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. Persistent addition of factually incorrect info, the IP is I believe logged out editing from Bezawada16 user. I've reverted 3 times in the last 2 days, temporary ECP could be beneficial or else blocking the user with Semi protection would also be helpful — DaxServer (t · m · c) 12:10, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have warned the user about the edit warring policy and blocked the IP from logged-out editing for a week. This should suffice to either stop the edit war or to justify an WP:ANEW report as soon as this continues. In case that really doesn't solve the problem, please re-request. Semi-protection, that is, as semi-protection is not yet proven ineffective. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:18, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Persistent violations of WP:GS/RUSUKR (ECP restriction on Russo-Ukrainian War topics) during the open RM. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:40, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Talk namespace is exempt. Ymblanter (talk) 09:30, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
RM discussions are not, though. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:48, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this is correct. I do not know what the best solution would be, especially given that the RM outcome is obvious. Ymblanter (talk) 11:51, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah sorry, Ymblanter, I had misread that, I think. I agree that the talk namespace is exempt from ECP, yet the restriction applies to the discussion. Okay. Hm. Semi-protection might be an option to reduce the noise, but I don't yet see a need for this when looking at the non-autoconfirmed edits alone. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:54, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'll decline this for now and try to have an eye on it. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:55, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox India university ranking

Indefinite template protection: High-risk template – While this is not so heavily used, the formatting is quite complicated and as the history of the template shows, almost any non-template-editor who has tried to edit it has left it worse than when started.

Frédéric Chopin

Indefinite semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Can we please get indefinite semi? That level of protection was working fine, until it was removed in May 2022. Basically more than half of edit since then has been vandalism—the constant reversion is wasting the time of too many editors. Aza24 (talk) 23:07, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An IP hopper can't accept that something fictional happens in 2023. (I could also be gravely mistaken about this, but I don't know Zardoz.). LilianaUwU (talk / contribs) 23:48, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 00:54, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Isabelle Belato, please see https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/zardoz-1974. LilianaUwU, rollback is to be used for obvious vandalism and this wasn't even vandalism. You used it five times on that article to reinstate incorrect information. If, as you say, you "don't know Zardoz", you certainly should not be using rollback in that way. Further misuse may result in revocation of your access to it – it is a privilege, not a right. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:04, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Sdrqaz: Thanks for the heads up. Considering the mistake was explained and corrected, protection won't be necessary. Apologies for being so hasty. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 01:42, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Elinor Carucci

Change the Closer section in Major works to: Closer

Carucci's first significant body of work is first and foremost about the nuclear family but also touches upon the universal topics of intimacy, mother-daughter relationships, the female body, and mortality. Her parents, grandparents, and partner are the central players, each of whom she portrays gently but unflinchingly in her images. Her color photographs work with a definite color palette, with mesmerizing quality to the serene vivid reds and blues set against the myriad tones of bare skin. With her unique approach to making work, one that merges both planned, staged, and well-lit photographs, simultaneously with openness to the intuitive and spontaneous process, she creates images that highlight the depths of the beauties and pain of being human.

Delete the section Pain

Add the section MIDLIFE Elinor’s vivid descriptions of Midlife depict the complicated, layered aspects of life that affect both men and women on an intimate level in an immersive and up-close look at these important years. Through love, generations, family, women's health, and intimacy, Midlife tells the story of getting older during the middle of life. Midlife is a universal period for us all, yet this reach narrative is absent from our cultural dialogue, and in this body of work by Carucci’s asks the viewrs to look thoroughly and to collectively see what is so often unseen.

Streisand effect

Reason: Recently, the example of publicity of Elon Musk's jet traffic has been added to the Streisand Effect wikipedia page. There have been multiple reverts of the edits, attempting to exclude the legitimate example from usage on the page. There have, by my count, been 10 separate reversions related to this content in the last 24 hours. Hlposts (talk) 17:26, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. While there might be merit in discussing whether that's a good example or not, edit warring to remove it is not the way to go, so I've protected the page in the hopes editors will use the talk page. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 21:46, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Further examination of recent content additions found multiple other problems with thin-sourcing of BLP content: things like Daily Beast, HuffPo contributor platform, international business times. The editor who added these problematic areas is keen to restore them, without regard to the higher standard of sourcing required for living person content, as they have made clear on talk. Cambial — foliar❧ 18:56, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    As pointed out on the Talk page cited, big issues include a HuffPo senior reporter being removed, I didnt object to the IBTimes removal Ive done it a lot and made sure it was removed when I restored other content, and Ive repeatedly asked the editor to not bulk remove every Daily Beast citation without discussion or even reading the articles or looking at the authors which include definite experts like Kevin Poulsen. Theyve admitted removing articles without knowing it despite being told Softlemonades (talk) 21:08, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The editor who added these problematic areas is keen to restore them Ive asked you to just to discuss the changes and you just revert them again and ignore WP:BRD. At this point thats all I want especially since you removed at least some things like the Washington Post without knowing it or looking at them
    without regard to the higher standard of sourcing required for living person content I disagree and think its an odd thing to say about stuff that includes how much money WikiLeaks raised through Bitcoin Softlemonades (talk) 21:24, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Brendan Miller. Graywalls (talk) 04:48, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This was previously proposed 4 days ago; BLP subject has edited the page again after the previous request, but stopped 3 days ago. Unclear whether he could have seen the COI warnings (see linked COI noticeboard discussion). Regardless, if allowed under WP:IAR, I support page protection, to nudge the subject into using the talk page and avoid him risking sanctions, since I believe he edited his page with rare good faith. DFlhb (talk) 05:06, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Declined Even protecting the page will not make sure the IP, be they Brendan Miller or not, will use the article talk-page. I would follow what is spelled out at WP:BLPEDIT, and repeatedly link to WP:BIOSELF in edit summaries and talk-page warnings; even with changing IP adresses this ought to be seen after some time.

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – This is for making sure I can confirm no one removes themselves from the list. Ilovejames5:) 10:20, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The protection policy requires that user subpages aren't protected pre-emptively protected without good reason or cause and I don't believe that a subpage is likely to be modified nor that the purpose you're intending to use it for requires it to be protected. Focus on the articles rather than making a personal list of editors you've warned. I won't decline this so other admins can have a look and see what they think.

Daniel Case, I fell for this first too. The reports page is at Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports, though. The talk page of the shell around these reports should (at least theoretically) never see any reports. That said, keeping some of the disruption on this specific talk page rather than elsewhere could even be desirable.
I guess if there's actually a need for semi-protection, those who deal with it will request or implement it. Lemonaka has never edited the page. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:50, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You meant Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives, right? Daniel Case (talk) 16:26, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@ToBeFree@Daniel Case Thanks for advice, I just came up with this because I saw a lot of vandalism in history Since Dec 31. Lemonaka (talk) 17:36, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Wiens

Unprotection: There is a draft at Draft:Mark Wiens which in my view meets the WP:AFC acceptance criteria of having a greater than 50% chance of surviving an immediate deletion discussion. It is a borderline notability article, which is fine. A prior version has been deleted at AfD, but in 2017. Things have moved on with Wiens since then. I have no concerns that it may well be sent straight to AfD, since the community can decide its fate. There is a lengthy discussion at the AFC Helpdesk. It might be seen that this request is sidestepping that discussion, which is why I have linked to it - to seek to ensure that is not so, and that there can be no accusations of forum shopping. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:23, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NFL teams

Reason: I am requesting page protection for all NFL playoff teams until February 19, 2022, a week after the Super Bowl LVIII. Once a team loses in the playoffs it instantly leads to childish changes of the ownership in the infobox to the winning teams quarterback or stars. These childish posts are quickly screenshotted and end up on meme pages fueling more vandalism. To prevent this I am requesting page protection from IP editors as the damage of IP vandals far outweighs any value from valid IP editors over the next five weeks. I will request lowering of page protection after two weeks for defeated teams, the period of time in which these immature vandalism sprees usually ends. Words in the Wind(talk) 05:00, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

First Iraqi–Kurdish War

Reason: Requesting protection for First Iraqi–Kurdish War and Iraqi no-fly zones conflict. These articles have recently experienced mass infobox edits (and associated edit warring) by the dynamic IP 86.141.92.231/86.137.14.137, whose edits (involving grandiose claims of "Iraqi victory") consistently fail verification and who is temporarily blocked for violating the 3RR per an AN3 report. (The IP has also engaged in edit warring and misrepresentation of sources at Iraqi invasion of Iran, but seems to have stopped after a particularly egregious instance of misrepresentation was pointed out.) Because this specific IP address will not be blocked for long and may change dynamically in short order, I am requesting extended-confirmed protection to minimize the potential for further disruptive editing.

Reason: Repeated vandalism by confirmed sockpuppets Reiner Gavriel (talk) 00:47, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Since we have four different requests for the same set of socks, let me elaborate on why I have declined them all. 1) At least some of the accounts reported for socking were not found to be socks. 2) We have constructive edits by IPs during the same period. 3) For most of these articles, we have two socks in ~2 months; this would be borderline for protection in any case. 4) The socks were all autoconfirmed, meaning we would need EC-protection to have stopped them; and that requires a greater threshold of disruption to be met.

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I'm going to be honest: I was wrong requesting looser edit protection for this article. In less than two weeks it has attracted a lot of IP and newly established editors wanting to add inappropriate material, very few that have actually anything constructive to contribute.

Reason: Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:A/I/PIA. See User talk:Tezateza and article talk page. Selfstudier (talk) 13:29, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - I can't see how this page falls within the scope of the Israel-Palestine conflict, as the material is about a controversy involving antisemitism generally and Palestine does not seem to be mentioned at all. Consider the edit warring noticeboard if the conflict cannot be resolved through discussion with the new user. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:08, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:A/I/PIA refers to the Arab Israeli conflict in general, "broadly construed", not just Israel and Palestine. ("the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted ("primary articles"), and edits relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict, to pages and discussions in all namespaces") The edit notice says the article partially relates to AI conflict. Note there is material concerning the Israel Lebanon war as well as the Gaza report. The editor already refused to participate in discussion. These single purpose, low edit count, new accounts are typical for the AI area. Anyway never mind, I can see that you do not want (or cannot) protect the article "partially" so I will deal with it another way. Selfstudier (talk) 15:27, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, my (ancient) reading of the Arbcom decision was that the scope was specifically Israel and Palestine, but it seems to have been expanded to include all Arab-Jewish conflict worldwide. But you're also right that I can't protect part of an article, and I'm not keen to protect an entire article on an American human rights activist under the scope of these particular sanctions, as I'd be protecting a lot of material that's clearly out of scope. The sanction says that you are free to revert to enforce the ECP requirement without regard to 3RR, although it's not really a good idea to lean on that freedom too much. However, if the editor continues to be evidently only here to right great wrongs, you could ask that they be blocked. WP:ANI or WP:ANEW would be appropriate for that, depending on the circumstances. I'll also watchlist the article. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:48, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Zhang Zhehan

Reason: On 9 January 2023, user DawnSP removed entries of two new singles released under Zhang Zhehan's name, including their references to the official lyric videos and Apple Music, on the English, Chinese and Japanese versions of his Wikipedia page. The note user DawnSP has written for their edit said "controversial content(there's no proof that the two newly released singles were recorded by Zhang Zhehan)", is introducing a conspiracy theory suggesting songs released officially on music platforms under the artist name "Zhang Zhehan" are not by Zhang himself. Hence, this song removal edit is inappropriate to do on Wikipedia. I have since restored the entries of his new singles on the English version. Previously in 2022, there had been many single purpose accounts who edited Zhang's Wikipedia page, which prompted the page to be protected until 30 December 2022. Since the lifting of the protection on his page, it is evident that single purpose accounts are returning to remove new updates about Zhang. I hereby request protection of Zhang Zhehan's Wikipedia page to prevent future vandalism from occurring. Durianpizza1991 (talk) 00:15, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So, I'm not going to this. As a general rule, we want articles to be open for anyone to edit. We do restrict editing on articles when there is a lot a vandalism being done to them, or if so many bad edits are being made that we need to monitor them before they go live, but at least for now, this article is not having these problems. If you notice that problems pop up, just list it here again. I'm going to add an official declined notice so the archiving bot will remove this entry. Cheers.

Charles & Keith

Reason: Disruptive editing made by another user while correcting outdated brand page. This fast fashion brand is in the media lately and as media is quoting Wikipedia, the public is getting misled that the brand is still under LVMH when they are in fact not. I tried to update information of the actual group they are under with references but it keeps getting removed. It is not known when LVMH dropped them, but the year the other group took over will be crucial information, which is why I am citing them in the references. The other user seems to want to hide all that new information and just keep adding fluff like listing all the 37 countries the stores are located. Requesting page to be protected. Thank you. 2404:E801:2003:2430:792C:F613:F2EE:9CFE (talk) 09:28, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for raising page protection. I had hope it will not come to this. Charles and Keith is an independent company while Valiram Group is a retailer group selling Charles and Keith products (similar to it selling other products and brands). The phrase The brand is currently under Malaysia-based retail and lifestyle group Valiram Group indicates Charles and Keith is now another brand under their group while it is not. LVMH purchased a 20% stake and subsequently their stake is sold back to the company. This is actually a content dispute and slowly becoming disruptive editing by IP editor. Thanks. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 09:55, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was the one who updated the LVMH reference. You can choose to paraphase if you are so offended by the particular statement. I am just pointing out they are no longer affiliated to LVMH as they have been portraying and in fact now under Valiram. That is the truth. Why are you hiding the facts that they also listed fast fashion, specializes in selling footwear? That is disruptive editing.
This is not the venue for content dispute. I had updated the buyback by the Wongs here but you had insisted on adding Valiram Group which simply sells C&K products. C&K is not under Valiram Group's management, unless as the other editor had said here that it is not owned by valiram. going by this logic, coach, michael kors, versace, victoria secret, bvlgari are also owned by valiram? which you agreed to here listing the group they are under is important and Noone is saying Valiram owns them, hence the word under but C&K is simply not under them at all. This is a case of righting great wrongs but introducing the wrongs here. Casting aspersions and outright lying is rather unacceptable here also. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 10:24, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

17 January 2023

Tee Higgins

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because there has been no vandalism on Damar Hamlin since unprotection. It seems 3 weeks was too long to protect in the first place, and given how the more notable figure was only protected once, see no reason for protection to continue here. 71.125.36.50 (talk) 16:56, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected. The request makes no sense. Damar Hamlin and Tee Higgins are two different articles. There was significant disruptive activity from anonymous IP addresses just prior to protection. It has a week to go. If you want to change something, make an edit request on the talk page. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:11, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ninth generation of video game consoles

Reason: The protection is no longer because this protection is almost 2 years ago because persistent editing never happened in the last 2 years. Solaris5296 (talk) 17:37, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected. The duration of existing protection is irrelevant. The declined edit requests on the talk page suggest that protection is still needed. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:21, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Warner Bros.

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because sock puppetry is no longer active in the past 2 years. Solaris5296 (talk) 18:16, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected. The request has a false premise, as sockpuppets editing that article as recently as 8 months ago have been blocked. Semi protection prevents their new accounts from disrupting the article. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:28, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jacques Tits

Reason: Was protected over a decade ago due to BLP violations. Given that the subject is no longer alive, this no longer applies. Partofthemachine (talk) 20:37, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotected This may be a mistake just based on the subject's last name, but it has been over 12 years on a BLP protection and the subject is now deceased. Protecting admin is no longer active, so I will test out unprotection. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:01, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Muboshgu: My first thought when I saw this article title was "that's a name that just begs for drive-by vandalism." We'll see how it goes. At the very least, it would likely be a good candidate for PCP. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:05, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Anachronist, it was my first thought too, but Tits group, Tits alternative, and Tits metric seem to get by without needing protection (not to say they are un-vandalized). – Muboshgu (talk) 23:09, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Windows 10

Reason: The protection is no longer because disruptive editing never in the last 3 weeks, plus not many protections applied so far. Solaris5296 (talk) 17:41, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This was upgraded to semi-protection from CRASHlock late last month. Also, "not many protections applied so far" only applies to the past few years. It was last protected in 2015 and put on indefinite CRASHlock at the same time (as that prot was temporary). —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 21:02, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not unprotected per reasoning given above. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:57, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Windows 11

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because it was protected for almost 3 quarters of a year, disruptive editing no longer active. Solaris5296 (talk) 17:43, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The protection applied here looks like a natural escalation - the last protection lasted 6 months and, clearly, issues cropped back up in short order. Note that CRASHlock was attempted first and removed in favour of the six-month prot in 2021. —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 21:09, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not unprotected. There is no reason to go against the normal escalation practice. We'll let it expire as scheduled, and then reprotect for a longer duration if disruption resumes. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:06, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Windows XP

Reason: The protection is no longer because disruptive editing was no longer active in the last 30 days. Solaris5296 (talk) 17:45, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The indef semi is an escalation from indef CRASHlock, the implication being that CRASHlock was being overwhelmed. (CRASHlock does not work on pages seeing high volumes of edits.) —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 21:13, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not unprotected. The escalation from PCP was applied only last month by Materialscientist. Again, please examine the edit history and protection history before making these requests, and please try to trust that administrators know what they are doing and have good reasons to escalate to indef semi from PCP. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:18, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

PBS Kids

Reason: Protected for 8 years. However, move=sysop (indefinite), per Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Increase#PBS Kids. Solaris5296 (talk) 18:23, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected. The duration of protection is irrelevant to the continued need to protect, and that need is highly evident on the talk page, which shows many declined edit requests that would have otherwise been disruptive edits to the article. However, move protection has been applied. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:01, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK, but you at least you have done this. Solaris5296 (talk) (contribs) 22:53, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Weird, unexplainable recent IP vandalism: altering year of birth; removing a college team he played for from the infobox; changing the years in which he played for the other college team etc. Seems like one person using several IPs with a vendetta against this player.

@GB fan: What say you? Do you think it's reasonable to unprotect at this time? —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 08:47, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If an admin wants to unprotect the redirect to allow IPs to edit it again, I do not mind. The protection probably has not stopped any legitimate edits from happening in the last five years. ~ GB fan 09:47, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Partofthemachine, please take a moment to explain which steps of thought led to this request. What happened; where is the reason? How did you notice this specific protection? Is there something you'd like to change while logged out? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:23, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Occasionally I will go through logs of pages that were indefinitely protected many years ago, to see if they should be unprotected. In this case, I did not realize that said page was a redirect. Partofthemachine (talk) 17:49, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not unprotected. The reasoning given is speculative and asssumed incorrectly that the title was an article rather than a redirect. @Partofthemachine: The duration that an article has been protected is irrelevant to whether it needs to remain protected. Duration should not be the sole reason to request downgrading protection. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:24, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Solaris5296: Yes, it is. Please examine the editing history and protection history before you make more requests like this. Besides the now-blocked disruptive editors, there have been disruptive IP address edits. Protection escalated naturally to indefinite. I'll leave it up to the protecting administrator El C to decide if unprotection is warranted. I would say, not at this time. Because Windows 7 is not receiving updates anymore, there is likely no reason to make further substantive changes to the article, so the only edits likely to occur from unconfirmed accounts and anonymous IP addresses are vandal edits. There is nothing preventing these editors from proposing edits on the talk page. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:13, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple articles targeted by socks of Belteshazzar

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent re-addition of disruptive edits by socks of Belteshazzar. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Belteshazzar and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Belteshazzar/Archive. Each of these pages has been disruptively edited by multiple socks of Belteshazzar more than three times recently. Most of these pages are in the Wikipedia space and would not normally see much legitimate editing from the new and anonymous users who would be covered by the semi-protection. As always, protection may inconvenience some people but I think it is worth it if we can dissuade Belteshazzar from constantly reinstating their bad edits using new IP addresses. other affected editors can always use the Talk pages to request changes. DanielRigal (talk) 20:07, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The edits in question only fixed problems and added useful content. By contrast, Daniel's revert restores borderline BLP violations, since some of that wording might make it sound like the authors of the letter are partly to blame for the disastrous repercussions. If that page is protected, it should be full protection, with that last revert undone. 103.103.3.6 (talk) 20:29, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Super Smash Flash 2

Unprotection: This (and alternative capitalization Super smash flash 2) should be unprotected to allow them to redirect to Super Smash Flash#Super Smash Flash 2. From there, they can probably be goldlocked again if needed. DecafPotato (talk) 20:06, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotected Article has been salted for nearly 15 years despite only being created twice (first time speedy deleted, second time AfD consensus to delete), no reason for ongoing protection at this point. This is probably a good example for why indef protection should be avoided in most cases. @DecafPotato: Feel free to add a redirect. If someone replaces the article with a redirect, then it's probably worthwhile to take it to AfD to ensure consensus hasn't changed. Otherwise, I don't see any need to protect these redirects. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 20:24, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

HomePod (2nd generation)

Reason: A user insists on boldly splitting HomePod to HomePod (1st generation) and HomePod (2nd generation) (with a cut&paste move, in the former case), despite having repeatedly been reverted by me and two other users. Don't think this rises to the level of a sustained behavioral issue, so I'm merely requesting page protection, so both of the latter pagess can remain redirects until there is any consensus for a split. Cheers, DFlhb (talk) 01:19, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined This would need extended-confirmed protection which I don't believe is warranted in this instance as such this is should be dealt with as either a content-dispute or a conduct issue (edit warring and copy & paste move).

Hi @Lectonar, thank you for reviewing my request. The wrong edit issue was resolved and the correct logo was restored, please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:JJMC89#Removed_Black_Box_New_Logo
But today again the same bot @JJMC89 bot has removed the approved logo although the logo has a suitable non-free use rationale, please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blackbox_logo.png Could you please guide me with some other Wikipedia guidelines or processes that will help in protecting the right information if the page protection is not possible in this case. Thank you again. Regards, Techsap25 (talk) 14:50, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Techsap25: I believe the issue was that the uploader, EchidnaLives, added the non-free use rationale template with a bare URL for the article, rather than just the article name, which broke the template. Therefore, JJMC89 bot could not tell that the image was properly tagged, because it wasn't. I think I have fixed the issue. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:54, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Antanas Mackevičius

Reason: Hello, I inserted a valid, referenced and related quote into a suitable section of this article (see my initial edit: 1), however user Marcelus keep removing it without providing a valid justification (1, 2).

In my talk page he claimed that it should be removed because "I don't really see how this separate qoute enriches article" (1), "We don't really need" (2 - by the way, he wrote it himself alone, so it should have been "I don't need"), "In my opinion, the section "Political views" comprehensively describes the issue."(3), but these are not valid justifications and is only his own opinion which is not supported by any Wikipedia's rules. Basically, he was writing different justifications again and again.

Marcelus also claims that the quote should be completely removed because in the Mackevičius' article it is written that "Šenavičienė claims that the account faithfully reflects the thoughts of Mackevičius himself, more than his testimonies written after his imprisonment, facing the death penalty" (the reference is not accessible online, so it is not even possible to check if it is really written like that in the reference). But that's not a valid justification to remove a quote either because it does not say that his post-imprisonment letters are not reliable and should not be described. Another user Cukrakalnis also noted (see: 1) that Marcelus' actions of censoring this quote are not valid according to Wikipedia's rules, but Marcelus ignores this.

The quote he keep removing is an excerpt from a letter which Mackevičius wrote when imprisoned saying that "The Lithuanian nation is hardworking, honest, religious, so it is worth my life. I am waiting freedom of my people as it was retribution...". Another referenced sentence in the article also say that "Mackevičius' main goal is the rebirth of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth"", but it does not deny the fact that he fought for the Lithuanian nation (in his own words - his people).

Consequently, please take actions against Marcelus' provoking of revert warring in this article. We don't need to continue this and the quote must stay as it does not violate any Wikipedia's rules.

By the way, there is a case at administrators noticeboard (see: HERE) which claim that Marcelus' actions are disruptive as he was calling a notable Lithuanian scientist and minister of education Zigmas Zinkevičius as "chauvinistic pig" (see Marcelus' edits here: 1, 2). Such personal attacks against a famous Lithuanian should not be tolerated in Wikipedia. But it seems the disruption is spreading into another article - Antanas Mackevičius. Please stop this. -- Pofka (talk) 18:29, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - content dispute. While no policy compels removal of the quote, nor does policy compel its inclusion - you will need to discuss and reach consensus on this issue. If you do not agree with Marcelus' rationale for removing the quote, you can request a third opinion or try dispute resolution. Thank you. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:11, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ivanvector: Marcelus keep removing it despite the fact that third user (Cukrakalnis) also opposed his actions. -- Pofka (talk) 19:18, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In the absence of disruptive editing (like vandalism or revert warring) we do not protect pages to enforce one user's preferred version over another. Please try dispute resolution. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:21, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ivanvector I give proper reasoning on @Pofka talk page, he ignored it Marcelus (talk) 19:22, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ivanvector: So we accept removal of content and the one whose content get removed should seek for third opinion (two users support that it should stay)? I think that user who want to remove other user added referenced content should seek for others support to remove it. -- Pofka (talk) 19:31, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Pofka I really hoped that after the ban was lifted, less than a month ago, you came back as a changed man. Meanwhile, you are back to your old practices. On your talk page, I wrote exactly why a quote introduced in such a way violates the WP:QUOTE rules. But you simply ignored it, in addition you wrote untruthfully that the only reason I removed the quote is my own unjustified, personal preference.
In short:
  • you put the quote in the form of a motto, not in the body of the article.
  • the source is uncertain, AM's testimony was given in Polish and Russian, your quote comes from a random website in Lithuanian
  • researchers who are quoted in the text claim that AM's testimony does not reflect his intentions honestly, because it was given on death row, etc. Quoting him directly, without such context, suggests otherwise
  • the quote you chose is not even representative of what is contained in AM's testimony, since he gives various motivations that are partially mutually exclusive
I wrote you all this on your talk page, but you ignored it. Marcelus (talk) 19:22, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcelus and Pofka: this report is closed. Take your content dispute to an appropriate forum and do not edit this section again. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:28, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of wars involving Kazakhstan

Reason: 1. Removing my text from an article that should be in an article. 2. The use of other states as their own, in particular the Mamluk Sultanate, the Golden Horde, which have nothing to do with the Kazakh people, Kazakhstan. 3. Rewriting history of Kazakhstan. 4.

List of Rick and Morty characters

Reason: Disruption. Again. Fuck. I don't care if the semi-protection is indefinite or temporary. This shit just needs to stop. This should have been protected years ago. And now there's a second reason these IPs are disrupting too.

As before, there is the same stupid shit of IPs and new users constantly adding a clone of a main character and a car to the main character box such as here today and earlier this month refusing to go to the fucking talk page.

I am so sick of this. These people refuse to go to the fucking talk page and ignore the clearly written hidden note, in fact removing it in most cases. I am so fucking tired of this. I know I keep saying this, but I really fucking am. They need to be forced onto the fucking talk page if they refuse to read a hidden note.

However, there is also the case that at least in this first disruptive edit, as well as another edit here, and a third one here, I can already predict that people will be adding that Justin Roiland is no longer part of the show. There is now more than enough disruption to protect this page. Unnamed anon (talk) 06:14, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dalida

Temporarily Semi-protection:

Persistent disruptive editing by IP. IP User keeps deleting sources wording, and keeps attacking other users. User was warned more than 4 times, yet keeps the same spamming. Fragrant Peony (talk) 22:56, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 22:57, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, because the Disruptive IP got blocked at that time, but has then kept the same disruptive editing behaviour which and changing sources wording, after being unblocked. The page needs to be under moderation.
    Fragrant Peony (talk) 23:23, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fully protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Fragrant Peony, I have locked the article because this is a content dispute, with you on one side and both the IP and Binksternet on the other side. The IP has started a thread on the talk page. That's where you need to work this out. MelanieN (talk) 23:45, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello MelanieN;
As a matter of fact; Dalida's official short film and documentary done by Paris Match and featuring her own brother is called: Dalida l’Egyptienne : les premières années.[27]
The Wiki article of Dalida has a template stating: { This article may be written from a fan's point of view, rather than a neutral point of view. Please clean it up to conform to a higher standard of quality, and to make it neutral in tone. (September 2021) }
Many Western fans have been constantly and systematically deleting her Egyptian link, even though her own family members massively document it as a huge part of her identity, till the point that she made a song calling Egypt her homeland.
I tried to make the article as neutral as possible, and not so Western-biased, and indeed supported by sources.
The Egyptian-born Franco-Italian singer Dalida is renowned worldwide for her top-selling musical records. But in Egypt, she was a national symbol. Before emerging on the French stage, Dalida made her debut in Egyptian cinema. In 1986, Dalida returned to her birthplace to reflect on her past and star in the film The Sixth Day by Youssef Chahine. In this talk, we will follow Dalida’s journey from Egypt to France and back again to make her last film. [28]
With all due respect, you kept the biased edits, even though I am the one who brought many sources and an official documentary created by her own family members. Thank you. Fragrant Peony (talk) 00:05, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your note, Fragrant Peony, but this is not the place for such explanations. That needs to be done on the article talk page, where you and the others can hopefully reach agreement/consensus. The protection gives you two days to do that. -- MelanieN (talk) 01:14, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I fully respect that MelanieN, I am kindly only asking why you kept a fan POV over actual sources I presented. Thank you. Fragrant Peony (talk) 01:22, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The protecting admin doesn't and isn't expected, actually not even allowed, to make a decicsion regarding content, see this; the full protection is implemented to prevent disruption/edit-warring. Consensus has to be found on the talk-page of the protected article. Lectonar (talk) 08:37, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I think consideration should be given to indefinite semi-protection. Looking at the past three months on this talk page, it appears that every edit by an unregistered user has been unproductive and has been deleted. Many of them needed to be revdel'ed as well. I will propose this at the page. MelanieN (talk) 15:39, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Birds Aren't Real

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – If you look over the page history, it seems like every week or two for basically forever (while the page was unprotected) an IP will come and try to edit the article to present the joke theory as if it were a real theory, presumably because it's funnier presented that way. IMO, having been protected 3 times already and it still happening, it probably needs an indef semi protection. Endwise (talk) 10:37, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Multiple attempts by IP and newly-created users at reverting information provided by reliable sources and moving the article name without discussion or consensus. Possible WP:Sock activity as well. WMrapids (talk) 17:40, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want move-protection as well as semi-protection? Daniel Case (talk) 22:45, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this seems appropriate. It would prevent further edit warring and would promote discussions regarding possible moves. WMrapids (talk) 23:03, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'll leave this for Daniel Case to decide, but in looking at the history it appears to me that most of the reverted edits and the move are coming from an auto-confirmed user, so that semi-protection would not help. I suggest you pursue the sock angle. -- MelanieN (talk) 16:08, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    An SPI has been opened and closed, with no action against the user causing all the disruption. Do we want EC or, perhaps, a partial block from this page for some long term?

Reason: Repeatedly vandalized by IP edits. If approved, this would be the eighth time that the talk page has been protected, with the last time being on January 6th. Since the last protection, 19 edits have been made to the talk page. 10 of them are edits that had to be reverted and the remaining 9 edits were the reverting edits. Given that "Tag: Revert" and "Tags: Revert" appear a combined 230 times in the last 500 edits with an assumed ~230 additional edits made to undo those edits, I am requesting a month or more of temporary protection. --Super Goku V (talk) 05:31, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hindenburg Research

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Would appreciate a mix of temporary semi-protection and 6 months pending changes being applied to the page to help fend off the recent spate of vandalism that has unfortunately accompanied the abrupt exponential rise in traffic to the page in the wake of the firm's damning revelations regarding stock market manipulation by a controversial Indian tycoon. MBlaze Lightning (talk) 09:16, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Is there enough problematic activity to make a blanket conclusion about curtailing IP editing? Seems that there has been substantial contribution by anons, and 6 months is a long time for any kind of remedy. Fuzheado | Talk 13:21, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your concerns, Fuzheado. Yes, anons have actively contributed to the page in the past 48 hours, some clearly in a constructive manner, but a disproportionate number of them have also indulged in crass vandalism. What has concerned me is that the page seem to be short on watchers to be able to fend off the same in real time, and this has lead to unenviable situations with readers stumbling across mala fide content and then taking to Twitter to highlight the same. To illustrate: edits like these stood for hours before I detected and reversed them. Heck, the latest edit, a couple hours ago, was an anon making unexplained change to the number in infobox, which remained intact despite the very telling edit summary. The firm's revelations have had a ripple effect on the Indian stock market, which is likely to continue when they open again after weekend. A temporary semi-protection will thus help deal with immediate vandalism, while a PC will bring more eyes to the article, while also concurrently allowing constructive anonymous IP contributions. If 6 months is excessive, how about giving it a trial run for a month? Regards, MBlaze Lightning (talk) 21:28, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2023 in film

Reason: Even though it was explained and well sourced in the talk page, people continue to do the wrong edits. Short summary: The film M3GAN is counted as a 2022 release globally per Box Office Mojo and The Numbers, but had its American cinema release in 2023. Vestigium Leonis (talk) 11:05, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question: I can believe that this is an immediate need given the issue. However, since this is a popular article and could benefit from editors, what is the proposed protection period? Fuzheado | Talk 13:21, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would probably go for a 1 month semi-protection. It should be sufficient to cool this "back and forth" off. I think that BOM and The Numbers as sources are clear enough, but maybe there is a clarification needed on the talk page on how to treat releases that are split in 2 years due to for example releases in different countries in the last week of 2022 and first week of 2023.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This page is being heavily targeted by IP socks of the long term vandal Belteshazzar who is dominating the Talk page and making sensible discussion among other editors all but impossible. DanielRigal (talk) 23:22, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Other than that "vandal", no one has even attempted to discuss the article's content. 2001:B07:646D:82DC:A84:9DFF:FE8B:58A (talk) 23:26, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am trying to invite participation but, while the vandal stomps all over the place, other people are not likely to feel welcome to contribute. It may well be that the lack of participation reflects a view that other editors are happy with the content as it is and that no change is needed but we need to allow for that discussion to happen if anybody (other than the vandal) wants to have it. Given the level of disruption being caused, I feel that locking anonymous editors out for a period is the lesser evil here. DanielRigal (talk) 23:34, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
After the "vandal" edited the article somewhat extensively, no change was made for over a month, until a mass reversion of everything that account had done occurred on December 12. [31]. So that could be interpreted as other editors being happy with the revisions that had been made. In fact, had anyone else edited that article in that time, Bbb23's mass reversions likely wouldn't have touched that article. 79.27.179.171 (talk) 00:03, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Belteshazzar, we see you changing your IP after each and every edit. This page is not yet another venue for you to try to defend your indefensible behaviour. Go away. If that article needs editing then Wikipedians in good standing will edit it. All you are doing is making that harder for them. DanielRigal (talk) 00:07, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It would be easy for any Wikipedian to greatly improve that article, as they would only have to undo your revert. They might improve it even further, but that is definitely the place to start. 151.32.114.255 (talk) 00:12, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hindenburg Research

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Would appreciate a mix of temporary semi-protection and 6 months pending changes being applied to the page to help fend off the recent spate of vandalism that has unfortunately accompanied the abrupt exponential rise in traffic to the page in the wake of the firm's damning revelations regarding stock market manipulation by a controversial Indian tycoon. MBlaze Lightning (talk) 09:16, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Is there enough problematic activity to make a blanket conclusion about curtailing IP editing? Seems that there has been substantial contribution by anons, and 6 months is a long time for any kind of remedy. Fuzheado | Talk 13:21, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your concerns, Fuzheado. Yes, anons have actively contributed to the page in the past 48 hours, some clearly in a constructive manner, but a disproportionate number of them have also indulged in crass vandalism. What has concerned me is that the page seem to be short on watchers to be able to fend off the same in real time, and this has lead to unenviable situations with readers stumbling across mala fide content and then taking to Twitter to highlight the same. To illustrate: edits like these stuck around for hours before I detected and reversed them. Heck, the latest edit, a couple hours ago, was an anon making unexplained change to the number in infobox, which remained intact despite the very telling edit summary. The firm's revelations have had a ripple effect on the Indian stock market, which is likely to continue when they open again after weekend. A temporary semi-protection will thus help deal with immediate vandalism, while a PC will bring more eyes to the article, while also concurrently allowing constructive anonymous IP contributions. If 6 months is excessive, how about giving it a trial run for a month? Regards, MBlaze Lightning (talk) 21:28, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Daniel Case, anon vandalism has been recurring with unenviable regularity on this highly trafficked page in consequence of the continuing effects of Hindenburg's report. So all this hemming and hawing strikes me as bit perplexing. Of greater concern is that the vandalism is sticking around for hours before being expunged.

Reason: Disruptive editing: Due to a widely publicized recent disputed fringe study, people are constantly editing the article to claim horses were present in America before the Spanish.

Recommend that the article be protected temporarily since this claim is making the rounds in various internet fora and leading to these unproductive unilateral edits.

Coat of arms of Lithuania

Reason: Hello, due to disruption in this article in the past (mass-removal of content) it was highly edit-protected. However, user Marcelus still recently tried to himself removal a large part of a well-referenced and extensive section in this article (see: 1, 2). His actions were opposed by user Cukrakalnis (1, 2), but user Marcelus again tried to remove the content himself (see: 1). Then a third party user GizzyCatBella intervened and also reverted Marcelus' removal (see: 1) and said that it should be discussed first.

Consequently, a RFC was started (see: Coat of arms of Lithuania#RfC: content of the section on Belarus) to solve the dispute between users with different opinions and to reach a WP:CONS what should be done with the disputed section. The RFC is still not over (closed) yet and there is no clear WP:CONS what should be done, so no changes should be made to the disputed content.

However, another user Piotrus left his comment at RFC and tried to remove the section nearly entirely as well (see: 1).

I myself restored the content to a version which was at the start of the RFC so that anyone interested could leave their opinions at RFC (it is impossible to understand the purpose of RFC with content removed) and said that if there will not be any WP:CONS when this RFC is over (closed) then we will use other Wikipedia's procedures to solve this dispute at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution requests (see my edits and explanations with pinging of the related users: 1, 2).

However, user Marcelus ignores my and other users good will suggestions to solve this dispute according to Wikipedia's procedures and continues to himself (without any WP:CONS at RFC) remove the content from the disputed section (1, 2). So he do not follow Wikipedia's procedures for dispute resolution and clearly do not seek for a WP:CONS and aggressively provokes conflicts with other users (WP:ICANTHEARYOU).

Moreover, Marcelus also openly expressed his personal opinion why this content describing Polish Army's atrocities against Lithuanians and Belarusians should be removed by such words: "badmouthing of Poland (...) Basically, the whole Belarusian part should be rewritten" (1) or "the article is suppose to be about history of coat of arms, not an excuse to spread anti-Polish propaganda" (2) and it raises further concerns about his aggressive actions which possibly violate the WP:NPOV and WP:NOTCENSORED.

Since "The contentious topics procedure applies to this page" (see this article's talk page template), urgent protection actions are required to this article and I believe that WP:TOPICBAN should be considered for user Marcelus because he (unlike Piotrus) do not listen to other users good will requests, explanations and want to do everything as he prefers himself (this clearly is not WP:COLLABORATE). We certainly do not need revert warring, but he is actively provoking it by ignoring RFC, so intervention by administrators is required because he ignores warnings by other users.

For a context: there also is a case at the administrators noticeboard already about Marcelus' actions in another Lithuania-related article (see: HERE) where he ignored other users requests, explanations (similar behavior in a Lithuanian topic). -- Pofka (talk) 20:44, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Another Pofka attempt to ban me from the topic where he wants to push his own narrative.
Currently, the section duplicates the content of the entry 1st Belarusian Regiment (which did not exist when the RfC was created), and is also simply off-topic, since the section should primarily describe the use of a CoA similar to the CoA of Lithuania in Belarus, but in the meantime half describes the history of the institution of the Lithuanian state, since the regiment was part of the Lithuanian army. In addition, it describes in bizarre detail the alleged (because based on a single memoir) maltreatment of Lithuanian and Belarusian symbols by the Polish military.
The creation of the 1st Belarusian Regiment slogan has made the RfC obsolete.
@Pofka it is accepted custom to inform the user on whom the report is made, but I see that in your attempt to remove me from Wikipedia you are forgetting all the rules. Marcelus (talk) 21:57, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Disruptive editing resumed after unprotection a few days ago, including egregious BLP violations (diff), borderline (diff, diff) and blatant (diff) vandalism, and generally subpar edits bordering on disruption (diff, diff, diff, diff).

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There have been maybe 20 edits, mostly constructively intended from what I can see, to this article in the last two months.
