Indefinite semi-protection: Currently ongoing geopolitical event. Already subject to vandalism and appears to be the target of a troll spamming penis pics all over articles. NegativeMP1 17:09, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The dick-pic vandal was globally blocked yesterday. Also, just out of curiosity, is there any way for an ongoing event to be ongoing other than currently? Daniel Case (talk) 01:19, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Euthanasia Coaster

Reason: User discospinster keeps removing an entry. They first wanted it taken down because they considered it promotion. Any mention of forthcoming book was removed. I did not know that wasn't allowed. The they said the author is not notable. Not true. The author has a history of publication AND the entry was cited. Then they said that every other entry has an internal Wikipedia reference. As of writing this, that is not true. If the person edits the page to be so, then that's different. From what I understand notability is related to whether someone gets their own article. Does it also apply to edits? The edit I am trying to add is by a published author with a track record of publications. According to your article, notability guidelines do not apply to content within articles or lists. Donutholeveronica (talk) 04:38, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:52, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stipulative definition

Reason: Numerous attempts at vandalizing page with transphobic content, despite multiple reversions. User is editing from multiple IP address (both IPv4 and IPv6) over the course of a month and a half. Sink Cat (talk) 04:42, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Miss Shilling's orifice

Reason: Request move protection. A new user who doesn't understand Wikipedia processes is likely to move the article again after a 'requested move' which did not follow process. Article may also need protection from edits by the same user that are against current consensus. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 07:36, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am the new user referred to here and while I will certainly request that the article be moved, I am not going to try to do it myself. The edits I've made which have been removed are not against current consensus as it is represented on the Talk page. For example, I made an edit to the first paragraph to mention that the inventor of the mechanical device that is the subject of the article was an aeronautical engineer. This was not discussed in the talk page, and yet my edit was removed. I rejigged the first paragraph so that the emphasis fell on the device itself and its inventor rather than the sexual joke names the device was given, which are understandably mentioned, but not the main point. This edit was not discussed on he talk page, but was also removed. Tddhoz (talk) 13:55, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Extended confirmed protection isn't necessary if the disruptive edits are all from unregistered editors.

Rich Men North of Richmond

Reason: I don't know where to start. The singers name is well known (Christopher Anthony Lunsford) yet this article uses his "label" name, ignorance... This is clearly not a right wing anthem and the person that wrote that is biased and intolerant. Again, ignorant. Why would you allow and article to be protected with incorrect information published??

January 6 United States Capitol attack

Please take away all other parties for the pro-Trump side besides Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. The others are all movements and ideologies. The Three Percenters did not officially condone the actions, although some members attended. Also add "unaffiliated pro-Trump protestors."

Change "On January 6, 2021, following the defeat of President Donald Trump in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, the leadership of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys, two far-right militias, plotted to use force to stop the peaceful transition of power, culminating in an attack on the United States Capitol Building. The attackers sought to keep Trump in power by preventing a joint session of Congress from counting the Electoral College votes to formalize the victory of President-elect Joe Biden." to "On January 6, 2021, following the defeat of U.S. President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, a mob of his supporters attacked the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. The mob sought to keep Trump in power by preventing a joint session of Congress from counting the Electoral College votes to formalize the victory of President-elect Joe Biden." The PB and OK were important parts of this, however it was not just them. Zxtcyvubijnokmpl (talk) 13:19, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. Changes to controversial topics depend on reliable sources. As far as I can tell, the current text is backed up by reliable sources. I would recommend working towards becoming an autoconfirmed user which would have the dual benefits of giving you more experience with Wikipedia policies and editing standards and it would also allow you to make an edit request on semi-protected talk pages. To put it another way, protected articles aren't exactly the best place to "jump into" editing. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:25, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chilseok

Reason: IP repeated vandalism, three times in past three days.

Vandalism changing the lede to say the Korean holiday Chilseok is a Chinese holiday. The corresponding Chinese holiday is linked-to in the lede and is also obtainable from the hatnote -- M.boli (talk) 22:47, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Protected 15 years ago by NawlinWiki. Not sure what the issue was, but I see no current rationale now. NawlinWiki has been inactive for the past couple of months, so no luck talking to them.

A discussion which you could then link for the IP in an edit summary, even a WP:DUMMY one. That IP might not know that talk pages exist, but you do. Thanks and good luck. For the bot: Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. El_C 22:23, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kathryn Campbell

Reason: Persistent edit warring from IP editors, who have so far refused to engage with other editors in the talk page in reaching consensus over the neutrality of wording in the article. The contentiousness of the subject in current news may require a higher level (i.e. not just temporary) of protection to be considered. The same IP editors have also engaged in reverts in the absence of consensus over inclusion of similar wording and information on the CPA Australia page, but it has not yet reached the same level as on the Kathryn Campbell page. I would really appreciate some input on what is appropriate, thanks. Siegfried Nugent (talk) 01:41, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:A Quest For Knowledge/Archive 11 and others

Protecting admin no longer admin:

Self protected by former admin:

Reason: I'd like access to these 26 pages to address the Tidy Font bug errors and other WP:LINT found within, as I have with similar recent requests. Each of these pages was either selfprotected by the former admin, or the protecting admin no longer admin, so asking the protecting admin prior to this request is not needed. I have Extended Confirmed access, so that or lower is fine, whatever is appropriate for each.

If I have overlooked anything that would be an issue, or you feel that any page needs to be temporarily lowered to Extended Confirmed and returned to Full after I've addressed all Lint issues, that is fine (temporaries would be addressed first, and I'd let you know when finished if any). Happy to discuss anything if you have further questions. Thank you. Zinnober9 (talk) 01:02, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Operation Valuable

Reason: Requesting that the talk page be protected too due to IP sockpuppetry. StephenMacky1 (talk) 14:00, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. Without these IPs being confirmed as sockpuppets by an administrator, I don't see sufficient disruption to justify protecting the page nor do I see justification for reverting their comments. @StephenMacky1: Can you please explain this removal? Otherwise, I would recommend self-reverting the removal. If you want to clean up the formatting to be clearer and un-boldface the "delete all" which is a bit much and could be misinterpreted as a second vote, that would be fine. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:56, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The page Operation Valuable has been subject to sockpuppetry (as well as IP sockpuppetry) in the past. It's better to be safe than sorry. Plus they have already started hoarding a new article (1950 Albanian coastline ambushes), so this appears to be of no coincidence to me. There isn't really a good reason for an IP to comment on a merge proposal, unless they're a sockpuppet. Commonly IPs who suddenly have participated in such discussions (be it for deletion or something else) have been sockpuppets, in my experience at least.

First Anglo-Dutch War

Reason: A user keeps changing the page from 'English victory' to 'Indecisive' or 'inconclusive' even though the majority of historians do not hold this view; I believe the user in question is not being objective, and is attempting to alter historical record. If the page could be protected so the result reads 'English Victory' as it always did previously (and as all of its linked pages referring to the war and its outcomes indicate) that would be great, as I suspect they will edit war soon and try to change it to 'inconclusive' or 'indecisive' again.

Thank you for the update. I’ve confirmed that the dates are sourced from the book ‘The Reluctant Politician: Tun Dr. Ismail and His Time.’ You can verify this by checking the book’s ISBN 9789812304247. The relevant information can be found on page xxiv of the biography. Here’s a direct quote from the book:
“1950 – Marries Toh Puan Norashikin Seth (nickname Neno, born 17 January 1930 in Johor Bahru). The couple has six children, two girls and four boys (Mohd Tawfik, born 23 September 1951 in GH in JB; Zailah, born 2 May 1953 in GH in JB; Badariah, born 8 March 1957 in PJ; Mohamed Tarmizi, born 23 May 1960 in Bangsar KL; Zamakhshari, born 16 September 1964 at GH in KL, and Mohamed Ariff, born 25 October 1967 in KL).”
Note: Zailah, the subject of the book written in 2006, passed away on 21 July 2017.
This citation and quote should demonstrate that the dates are indeed from a credible source, Tun Dr. Ismail’s biography. Arthur Hirai (talk) 22:34, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Horror film

Under the body section "Sub-genres of horror films" and the subsection "Slasher film", there are three areas that require editing within the paragraph.

"The slasher film is a horror subgenre, which involving a killer murdering a group of people (usually teenagers), usually by use of bladed tools." The "involving" in this sentence should be changed to "involves."

"In his book on the genre, author Adam Rockoff that these villains represented a 'rogue genre' of films with 'tough, problematic, and fiercely individualistic.'" There is no verb between "Adam Rockoff" and "that" - a verb such as "asserts", "notes", or "theorizes" should be added. Additionally, the latter half of the sentence reads "... these villains represented a 'rogue genre' of films with 'tough, problematic, and fiercely individualistic.'" There should either be some noun ending the sentence (for the adjectives at the end to be describing) or the sentence should be reworded. For example, "... these villains represented a 'rogue genre' of films with 'tough, problematic, and fiercely individualistic' themes."

Finally, "These films usually revolved around five properties: unique social settings (campgrounds, schools, holidays) and a crime from the past committed (an accidental drowning, infidelity, a scorned lover) and a ready made group of victims (camp counselors, students, wedding parties)." The sentence claims there are five properties but only lists three (unique social settings, a crime from the past committed, and a ready made group of victims). The sentence should be editied to specify three properties. Additionally, the "and" in front of the second listed property (a crime from the past committed) should be deleted. The final edit to this sentence might look like "These films usually revolved around three properties: unique social settings (campgrounds, schools, holidays) a crime from the past committed (an accidental drowning, infidelity, a scorned lover) and a ready made group of victims (camp counselors, students, wedding parties)." Jcfoco (talk) 05:16, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - In order: "Involving" changed to "involves", "wrote" added after Rockoff's name, and "five" changed to "three". —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 15:26, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Temu (marketplace)

Reason: There are always people who want to jeopardize this page and spread misinformation about the company. For example, I put in Boston government records about the registry of the company, and user "Amigao" whose talk page contains numerous warning about posting bad edits on China-related pages reverted my edits about Temu simply because of his anti-China attitudes. Well, the company or the country is innocent to be honest. Furthermore, this page also only contains bad sides while the good sides and neutral sides always get deleted by some users who can potentially be competitors of the company or politicians or simply haters.

Protect the page and keep balanced and verifiable records about both good sides and bad sides of it, considering how the company is one of the largest e-commerce platforms globally now. AnnieYW (talk) 00:02, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

M. Patrick Carroll

Reason: The page is constantly being revised regarding an incident where it is alleged that Mr. Carroll spit on someone in a restaurant. The incident is addressed as alleged by the article which is used as a citation. Despite this, the page does not reflect the continuous nature of the events. Additionally, the reference is a tabloid journalism website, which directly contradicts the rules for the relevant reporting as stated by the wiki page "Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons" more specifically, "[t]he material should not be added to an article when the only sources are tabloid journalism." Accordingly, the controversial section of his page should be removed and the page should be protected from the addition of it in the future.

Samael Aun Weor

Reason: There are numerous claims by past members that this is a dangerous cult which has abused them physically, financially and mentally. I urge Wikipedia to lock this page and invite specialists to give the page a fair treatment. I do not seek to speak only bad of the man and his group. I'm sure there are good people. It is however highly suspect that nothing is said of the abuses one can find so easily about online especially in Spanish speaking sources. I did not have the time to fully write and source everything I wanted to but began the process of putting both sides to the story. This is something akin to Scientology where yes it helps some but it also has a lot it wants to hide and has been known to bully and threaten if things written about them do not say exactly what they want them to. Wikipedia should not be a place for propaganda but for unbiased research. AeonFluxus (talk) 23:28, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Killers

Extended Confirmed Protection: Disruptive editing from a sock puppet. They always make controversial edits to the band members section, have similar user names, and always use a / in their edit summaries, easy to tell that it is all the same person. They always get blocked but create a new account to get around it. Putting an extended confirmed protection on this article would prevent them from continuing to disrupt the article. This has been going on for a long time. Just blocking the sock puppet does nothing. And semi-protection won't do anything either. Example users doing the same thing on this article: User:Brettandelle, User:Mark Stoermer is a former member of the band, and User:Snow patrol fans.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP has been consistently trying to reinsert pointless details into the plot summary. They're clearly able to communicate as they do so through edit summaries, and they've been directed to the talk page, but they don't care to discuss things. Recent comments indicate they are attempting to right a wrong done to this fictional character, so I don't think they'll stop of their own accord (and I suspect if blocked they would sock or IP hop to keep doing this).

@Premeditated Chaos: The disruption seems very specific to this IP, they appear to be consistently using the same IP for almost 5 months, and they have haven't evaded a block yet, so a user block seems appropriate and consistent with the guidance in WP:PP.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. The content being removed is an allegation lacking proper sourcing; it has been challenged and should not be restored without a citation. The editors restoring the unsourced version keep saying "take it to talk" but there has been no discussion on the article's talk page since the middle of July. Why would I protect if you haven't even tried to resolve the issue? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:47, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I did block a couple of sockpuppets though. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:47, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ivanvector: I replied that I was checking over this one because I realized I was taking a long time to review the history, but just saw you already declined it. Reviewing the content of the edits, it doesn't look like an issue about sources. This looks like POV-pushing in WP:CT/EE. Semi-protection seems warranted. Could you please take another look? Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:00, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Quinlan: sorry, I got tied up in something else and didn't see your ping. I agree it seems to be POV-pushing, but the content being removed that TimothyBlue (and maybe others) keep restoring is a fairly strong POV accusation which is not supported by sources. Had there been some talk page discussion I could have taken that as a clue about what was going on, but there has been none so I fell back on policy, and restored an older version of the section which was referenced in its entirety and which seemed to be stable and more neutral (admittedly without checking the sources). I dislike seeing requests for protection here when the requester hasn't made any effort to address the problem on their own other than reverting; protection is not a substitute for discussion. I'll defer to your judgement here - don't take my decline as a hindrance to protection if you think it's warranted. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:19, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ivanvector: Thanks for the reply. For now, I added a CTOPS notice. We can revisit the page protection level later and I'll try to remember to check the article for further disruption in a day or two. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:22, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Academy Award for Best Actress

Reason: Persistent reverts of constructive edits; 3RR violation; No explanation; using several different ANONYMOUS/unregistered/IP accounts to undo the same edits; After 3RR warning, user responding condescendingly proclaiming edits should be their way; no discussion or attempts towards a resolution based upon compromise and consensus. I think all four acting Oscar pages need these protections to prevent these unregistered accounts from making unverified edits and/or edit warrior revisions without due cause, which will be very disruptive.

There was semi from the 18th to the 25th of August. Since then I see only one dodgy IP edit and two good IP edits. Given the previous issues, if there are a few more IPs with MEDRS or similar issues I would consider a longer period of semi protection. Yaris678 (talk) 23:08, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    @Stifle Sources are not contradictory: the source from "Motorsport" does not give a date of death, only the date of publication of their information. I am now afraid of being blocked for 3RR if I try to revert again, and the article is incorrect. I have discussed this on the talk page, where the IP has not engaged. What should I do next? PamD 11:48, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @PamD: I'm not here to adjudicate which is right or wrong, but semi-protection is there to protect against obvious vandalism. This is not obviously vandalism (and if it was, you wouldn't be afraid of 3RR), it is a content dispute. There is no consensus on the talk page regarding the sources, just your assertion that your source is right and the other source is wrong. You don't get semi-protection so that the other editor is locked out from editing and you can have it your way. As I said, I can offer to full-protect the article, so that the revert war stops and you go and have a discussion to form a consensus. Or you can leave it at August with no date until something more authoritative appears. Stifle (talk) 08:29, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected. One pending-change edit was reverted just yesterday. What is the problem with pending change protection? It doesn't deny you the ability to make edits. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:58, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
anachronist, I am aware that I have rights to edit the page. It is just there are a few edits being made to the page in a year, not just in a month.197.3.156.64 (talk) 00:57, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And that's a perfect situation for pending-change protection: It's an article that doesn't get much activity and isn't widely monitored. I would remove PCP if it was a really busy page, in which PCP doesn't do anything but create more work for editors who have to review all those changes.
In any case, you're supposed to ask the protecting administrator El C first, before posting here. You have not done so. I don't see a need to remove the protection, but El C may have a different view. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:29, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh... so why is it that it was protected three times already? So tiring. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 09:08, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The recent history is more relevant than previous protections. We don't just keep extending protection forever because a page has been protected before. It seems like you are trying to game the system to win an edit war. I am also concerned about this edit in which you removed references and cited "grammar" as the reason in your edit summary. The page was stable for 4 days prior to that edit. Please stop edit warring and use the talk page. If necessary, get help resolving the dispute. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 09:26, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Amhara massacres

Reason: Temporary move protection: This article has been the subject of persistent move warring regarding its title in the last 24 hours. Prior to the warring, the article title was Amhara genocide. In a January 2023 RfC, there was no consensus to change the title from Amhara genocide, see Talk:Amhara_massacres/Archive_2#Requested move 13 January 2023. Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:24, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move protected indefinitely. An RFC in September determined that the subject cannot be called a "genocide" in Wikipedia's voice and so reverting to the former name is not an option. There is a move request open on the talk page; I have protected the page at the current title but that is not meant to override the discussion.

User talk:Blurpeace/Archive 2 and others

Reason: I'd like access to these 26 pages to address the Tidy Font bug errors and other WP:LINT found within, as I have with similar recent requests. Each of these pages was either selfprotected by the former admin, so asking the protecting admin prior to this request is not needed. I have Extended Confirmed access, so that or lower is fine, whatever is appropriate for each.

If I have overlooked anything that would be an issue, or you feel that any page needs to be temporarily lowered to Extended Confirmed and returned to Full after I've addressed all Lint issues, that is fine (temporaries would be addressed first, and I'd let you know when finished if any). Happy to discuss anything if you have further questions. Thank you. Zinnober9 (talk) 17:47, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: I'm sort of floored this one ever had its protection removed, but because of that, basically every other edit at this point is completely predictable vandalism. Just in the last 100 edits over roughly two years, 31 of them (nearly 1/3) have been reverted. This is an almost comically ridiculous waste of volunteers' valuable time, and it clearly shows that this article needs to be at least semi-protected indefinitely.

TheTechnician27, the page never manually had its protection removed (see the full log).

Reason: Despite discussion on the talk page and two previous protections, various IP users still keep adding the alternative name "knook" without supplying a reliable source.

Reason: After updating the main image, a user keeps changing to a very outdated photo so main image keeps reverting back to this one, we no longer have permission to use.

TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 23:19, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That article falls under WP:GS/RUSUKR, but administrators are not required to place articles in that topic area under ECP. That being said, only EC editors may make edits to that topic area and non-EC editors have been sanctioned for violating that GS restriction, especially after ignoring warnings. In general, it's best to wait until there's a significant problem with abuse before requesting page protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:32, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That editor seems to have been consistently using the same /64 for a month.

Reason: Edit warring by a fairly new editor: [84] [[85] [86] [87]. I have asked them to stop on their talk, but to no avail. Note that it is undergoing an FAC too. Unfortunately, it looks as if it will have to be extended-confirmed prot. A real shame. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 16:40, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. New editor (singular) — we don't usually protect for a single user, instead we block if it's warranted (report at WP:ANI or WP:AN3). I also note that WP:FAC cannot be used to force a longstanding version over a contesting one. The fact that this user is likely a WP:RGW editor is really besides the point.

Reason: I have received a rather incredulous message from the subject of this page after I made a significant effort to clean it up and enforce Wikipedia's requirements for neutrality.

Google ATAP

Reason: Pending changes protection. The article has been subject to long-term attack, presumably from one individual under a variety of IP accounts, wherein the same (presumably self-promotional) claim about a named individual is repeatedly added to the article. The edit summaries are either nonexistent or misleadingly general ("Extended information"). All but 1 of the IP users have been warned about these edits on their talk pages. The issue has been discussed on the article's talk page. None of the IP users have participated in those discussions. User:Baconaetor started the discussion, found that the cited source fails to mention the named individual, couldn't locate another source, and deleted the text in question. I confirmed their analysis and also deemed the cited, irrelevant source to also be unreliable (see talk page). The article is infrequently edited; thus the misinformation/vandalism can remain up for weeks.

This request was posted by an account with only 4 edits to their name. The "advising" of a religious community to go back to their country of origin as soon as possible and accusing them of being disloyal to their nation undobutedly happened, as was reported by The Canadian Press +[93], a trusted Canadian national news agency [94] with extensive ties to and coordination with the Associated Press [95]. Moreover, their claim that the Hindustan Times, which they insinuate is biased holds no merit - The Hindustan Times was and is currently used extensively throughout Wikipedia even by seasoned editors.

File:Croatian Football Federation logo.svg

Indefinite semi-protection: This image can only be used on the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) english article, and cannot be used on any HNS 'child entity' articles including the men's and women's senior and youth national teams. This is because the logo's use on these articles would violate WP:NFC#UUI §17, as Croatian national teams are considered 'child entities' of the Croatian Football Federation. This has been discussed many times, not only on this particular logo, but other national federations' logos. I am requesting that is page be semi-protected indefinitely because it will stop IP users from incorrectly adding a non-free use rationale to the logo for its use on other articles. This way, an NFC bot will remove this image from articles which IP users add the image to. Idiosincrático (talk) 11:24, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cro-Mags

Reason: Request for Page Protection - Cro-Mags Band

Dear Wikipedia Moderators,

I am writing to formally request page protection for the Cro-Mags band Wikipedia page. I have been diligently working to ensure the accuracy of the band's history, collaborating closely with Harley Flanagan, albeit not as an official employee, but as a member of his family.

Regrettably, our editing efforts have encountered challenges. Some individuals have resorted to blocking our IP address, hindering our ability to make necessary edits. Furthermore, I am now encountering disputes from various users asserting inaccuracies in the information I've provided. However, I firmly believe that the information I've contributed is indeed accurate.

I am committed to maintaining the integrity of the Cro-Mags band's Wikipedia page by continually updating it with reliable and verifiable information. Being blocked from editing would impede this mission, and I wish to avoid such a scenario.

If there is any additional information or documentation required to support my request for page protection, please do not hesitate to let me know. I am more than willing to provide any necessary evidence to ensure the page's accuracy and integrity.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your prompt response.

Girls' Generation

Remove protection status the group is currently active so it doesn't make sense for the page to be protected. With how the culture is around kpop, any false changes get quickly taken care of. Not because of a wikipedia staff member or user with special privilege getting a system notification but because of a fan of this article noticed the mistake first. Any issues that garnered the protection status of the page does not fit as criteria for the page to be protected now. Even the content of this article is not worthy enough of a protection status that could last several years or indefinitely. Controversial pages are more fitting for such a long protection status.

This message (not the one above but below the several "=" symbols) is for why I am sending the unprotection request here instead of the admin who protected the page. Despite reading the directions on how to find out the username of the admin who protected the page, on the article I could not find the "history" button at the top of the page — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1014:b070:6749:551b:18b6:9a34:143c (talk) 05:44, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per the page log this article has had to be protected constantly for various reasons. It should also be noted the protection prior to this one was also indefinite in length and lasted 4 years; the fact it had to be re-protected indef after that is a problem. Lastly, your entire argument betrays a lack of knowledge of how Wikipedia works, so I'll explain a few points:
  • Protection generally gets applied if there's a lot of vandalism or other disruption (such as edit-warring) hitting the article and very few productive edits. "Any false changes get quickly taken care of" is beside the point; reverting vandalism is taking time that could be used to actually improve the article.
  • There is no "system notification" for edits being made beyond Special:RecentChanges or one's watchlist.
  • Wikipedia staff do not edit in that capacity barring very specific situations that require an elevated responce. Administrators are volunteer editors like everyone else.
  • "Any issues that garnered the protection status of the page does not fit as criteria for the page to be protected now" is akin to arguing that because the child hasn't burnt their hand on it since they were banned from using the stove, they should be allowed to use the stove again. The issues haven't cropped up again because of the protection.
  • Article content is irrelevant to the length of a protection. An article having a history of disruption, on the other hand, is very relevant.
  • Most controversial pages have much harsher restrictions than mere protection.

West Bengal

Reason: Extremely High level of IP vandalism. People from other regions of India who advocate anti-Bengali propaganda are ruining and vandalising the page contents. Please increase the protection level for West Bengal . This page has very important status in Wikipedia as it's representing one of the major regions of India. Rourib Dutta (talk) 15:38, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This request is disingenuous on its face. The article has been semi-protected since the Pending Changes "trial" in 2010, which blocks IP edits. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 15:55, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Autoconfirmed users are only vandalising the page as they hate this particular region. They are doing un-necessary edits and putting old info and deleting new info with genuine reference links., so as to portray the region in bad light. They are also deleting good things written about the region and intentionally vandalising the entire page.
Please add extended confirmed protection to West Bengal. The page of the capital of this region, Kolkata one of the BIG-4 mega-cities of India also has extended confirmed protection. Kindly help. Please don't ignore this issue Rourib Dutta (talk) 16:28, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yevgeni Ponasenkov

Reason: Dear Sir or Madam,

I created the mentioned page, that since then is being vandalized by the user «Scope creep». When I created the page I had proven every single statement I made with documents, interviews, online media articles and YouTube videos. During the vandalism of user «Scope creep» several users and me argued in the comment section of changes we made in favor of proven facts. But the user did not respond to that and right after our changes he restores a version created by him earlier, where more than half of the original article was deleted and many statements changed or added, that are wrong and misleading. I kindly request to restore the page to the condition of creation and protect if from vandalism!

Yours sincerely,

Lucy Letby

Reason: Whilst the justification for protecting the Lucy Letby page might be legitimate, the bias of the article in its current incarnation is Orwellian. Guilt has been determined by a trial by jury, rather than objective fact. Whilst Lucy Letby may have been convicted this does not necessarily mean she is guilty since a miscarriage of justice is a possibility. Furthermore those concerned with the trial and the prosecution's medical evidence have conducted a considerable amount of research into the medical science which formed the basis of the conviction, and appropriate standards of due process within the English judicial system. Their conclusions, that there were significant flaws in the medical evidence, and that the standards of due process were not lived up to by either the prosecution or the defence, whether one finds them agreeable or not, should not be prohibited by being published on Wikipedia. By protecting the page after removing any discussion alluding to the possibility of a miscarriage of justice is a dangerous precedent. CameUpStarvin' (talk) 16:57, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ajeeb Prani, the page has been created by User 261115 in 2017 ([112]).

Reason: Protected 12 years ago, and is a pretty insignificant article about a town of 13,000 people.

Notifying SilkTork, the protecting admin, since the OP didn't see fit to do so. Favonian (talk) 12:35, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article was protected because the town's association with Dracula attracted inappropriate edits. It had been previously protected, and when it was unprotected vandalism returned, so I restored the protection. Because of the article's high visibility and frequent editing, it is not suitable for PC, which is intended for articles which have a low profile (that is are not viewed or edited much). PC prevents all subsequent edits (good and bad) from being seen by unlogged in readers until a PC reviewer or admin visits the page and manually reviews the edits to see if they are acceptable or not, so it is not suitable for an article that attracts the views and edits that Whitby does - using PC would simply allow folks to edit the article inappropriately and increase the workload of volunteers in checking if such edits are appropriate. It's worth noting that there have been four edit requests in 12 years, none of which were done. It appears to be that the semi-protection is working fine. And with Halloween coming up, this is not a time to be playing around with the protection of such an article. SilkTork (talk) 18:32, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New Utrecht High School

Reason: A few days ago, an account named "Abc465" was created, and deleted a paragraph which states that two school officials were involved in removing a studnt from a club. (for more - view their talk page, where multiple Wiki users suspect there is a personal element to their edit). I restored this page and last night, an Ip address by 108.30.105.187 deleted the same paragraph (as a result - I restored it again). Both "Abc465" and 108.30.105.187 have no other edits. I am requesting that Abc465 is banned from Wikipedia in adherence to Wiki's Conflict of Interest rules, and New Utrecht High School's Wikipedia page is protected to confirmed users only.

I consider myself to be a steward of the page; adding demographics, enrollment, and more. It is extremely disheartening to see a page I've worked on be diminished by malicious users.

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. This article about a veteran Indian film-maker is continuously subjected to heavy and continued vandalism and other disruptive edits. Unverified IP addresses as well as confirmed users are vandalising this page due to hatred against this person's controversies.

For example, they are continuously changing his name from "Mahesh Bhatt" to "Mahesh Dale/Dalle" (which means, very bad word in local language). Please add semi-protection (indefinite) for the article of Mr. Mahesh Bhatt. He is an very popular figure in the Indian film industry (Bollywood) and the owner of Vishesh Films Private LimitedRourib Dutta (talk) 18:42, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

United Kingdom

The article on the United Kingdom states: "[The United Kingdom] is an island country in Northwestern Europe".

The article on Madagascar states: [Madagascar] is an island country lying off the southeastern coast of Africa".

Obviously, both forms of indicating an island country's location in relation to its closest continent cannot be correct.

The form used in the Madagascar article seems the correct one, since an island cannot be located _in_ a continent.

Therefore, I request the wording concerning location in the United Kingdom article be changed to match the wording in the Madagascar article, thus: 

"[The United Kingdom] is an island country lying off the Northwestern coast of Europe".

(Articles on other island countries, like Japan, Indonesia, Philippines, have the same issue.)

+1 Reason: Disruptive IP vandalism. Lead section has a dispute regarding reporting the overall critical reception, and two IP editors (likely the same person) have removed sourced content and added unsourced content. They may be connected to a registered editor who was behaving the same way. They seem knowledgeable about 3RR and are switching accounts/IPs to avoid 3RR.

Vincent Martella

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – There is consistent, lower level vandalism to this page for more than three years with the exact same vandalism (iterations of the same theme). The phrase "Ponte Prete" gets placed/mentioned throughout the article; it is alluding to a Brazilian football team. This is reference to a (seemingly popular) Portuguese language meme that has a picture of Vincent as a child and somehow involves the football team (I don't understand Portuguese well enough to fully follow the evolution of this meme to describe it in better detail). If you google "Vincent Martella Ponte Prete" it will pop up. Vincent is not a soccer player and has not played for a Brazilian team. I don't know if it's serious enough to lock down the page totally but the vandalism keeps occurring, even after the initial protection request finally expired. (I made the request last time, a few years ago, for a temporary one thinking that if the page got locked for a while, the urge to vandalize it would die down a bit and the problem would resolve itself but that sadly wasn't the case. not sure what the best course of action would be.

Question: Moxy, where have you tried to talk to the IP? was it on the article talk page? Because that would be the venue. Also, you call them an IP hopper, but the IPV4/IPV6 addresses are likely outside their control (i.e. randomly assigned). More concerning, though, is that the IP states in their revert's edit summary Restoring cited content that was deleted without any reasoning, to which you respond in your revert's edit summary revert BS — surely, that is not your reasoning, and such a reasoning was communicated at some point, somewhere. Please clarify. Thanks. El_C 22:22, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: While "revert BS" is probably not the best way to go about it, I wouldn't instantly go and side with the IP's claims of "deletion without any reasoning". this edit and subsequently this edit both add what seems to be loaded with WP:OPINION whilst adding absolutely no sources. I feel that an addition in content that large should have an explanation / source(s) provided.
in this edit, I couldn't find anything relating to the unsourced information added in the source that was originally there (source [51])
I also tried looking at what I could in the sources the IP provided in the new paragraph they added.
  • source
    • Added by the IP: "In a 1947 speech, Liberal Prime Minister Mackenzie King strongly advocated for restrictions on immigration from Asian countries in order to preserve the characteristics of the population and prevent interracial marriages. In 1953, this advocacy led to an immigration law, introduced by the Liberal party, that discriminated against people from culturally dissimilar backgrounds. This racially discriminatory law ranked people from different parts of the world hierarchically, reflecting the legacy of settler-colonization in the country."
      • couldn't find this information in the source. no mentions of interracial marriage anywhere; I read a few bits and did some word searches & only really found talks surrounding immigration about Europe. feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though.
I cannot access the other sources, but I feel that it is clear the IP is adding misleading information motivated by personal views. Tagging @Moxy, as I do not have involvement in this dispute and I'd like to hear what they have to say. B3251 (talk) 23:02, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The contributors to the page has documented biased views which are not factually correct. Examples: 1. The contributors has attributed 'Anti-Christian sentiment' as one of the causes of the violence. This is false information. 2. Mass rape as one of the methods of this violence. There are no mass rape cases.

Unless I'm missing something, there has only been one instance of vandalism in the last four months, which was caught and reverted by ClueBot in 60 seconds. There was also a case of an IP editor making an apparently out-of-consensus, albeit non-vandalism, edit which was manually reverted after less than a half hour without issue.

2023 Manipur violence

I would like to request that the following statements arewrong. It portrays the one sided story of a community, the article should be neutral. Please remove these following lines.

("Reports were received of a counter-blockade at Torbung near the Bishnupur–Churachandpur district border,[75][76][77] and a counter-agitation in the surrounding valley areas (Moirang subdivision), where houses were torched by Meitei groups.[78] Two dead bodies were discovered in the Kangvai village and tyres were burnt at the base of the Anglo-Kuki War Memorial gate at Leisang as an apparent provocation.[79][80][81]

After the reportedly peaceful rally in the Churachandpur town in which 100,000 people participated,[82][74] as the rallyists from the Torbung–Kangvai area[b] were returning to their homes, they faced the "counter-blockade" by the Meitei groups. ) .

2023 Manipur violence

Reason: this is serious violence to the freedom of accessing to correct information .Just putting one side narrative and dumping on air with one sided bais information is very wrong.The fundamental of accessing non bais correct information to everyone of the world is not done here.Even it is protected from editing by other side. This present violence is very serious and even Supreme Court of India is doing investigation. So putting one side bais narration story will not give any fruitfull solution in the present crisis Hbmeitei (talk) 04:15, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yaroslav Hunka

Family history of Hunka should be on full disclosure on the wikipage. Chrystia Freeland of the Canadian parlimant has family ties to him and is related by marriage. Hunka is her uncle. Additional to her father serving as a nazi, several of her uncles did as well and among those were members of the SS glacian brigade, within the same set of regimes that Hunka also served. The two families have continued to work together through their hidden fraud in Canada, being in the same organizations and attending the same events while the nazi 4th reich grew in secrecy within Canada to current day. Chrystia Freeland was his family ties and known persona that was able to get him into the HOC where Hunka a 98 year old nazi was worshipped by the entire HOC. The speaker of the house took the blame despite the fact that Chrystia Freeland personally knows Hunka and is related to him. 174.117.98.97 (talk) 12:16, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

LeBron James

One of Lebron James's iconic nickname is "The Chosen One". James broke the all-time scoring record in points on February 7, 2023. Russell Westbrook passed the ball to the King. Then Lebron faded away over Kenrich Williams and scored one of his most iconic buckets in his career with eleven seconds left in the third quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder . Before the NBA Preseason starts, James is known to host mini camps in California with his teammates. There the team does offensive, defensive drills and team activates.

The Old Man and the Sea

Reason: It's been four years since protection was applied, which means vandalism may have stopped. I am now watching and expanding the page, so I will come back here if the vandals also return. Blocking admin left Wikipedia in 2021. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:04, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • That is always a hollow reason to unprotect, that vandalism has stopped, or may have stopped. Of course IP vandalism has stopped, that means the protection is working. In this case, I would be against lowering protection as this is a classic piece of literature, a core article, and it isn't likely that something "new" is going to happen to need updates on. Any IP can still use the talk page to request an edit. I will leave to another to decide this time, but I'm for protecting our core articles that are likely to be vandalized in the future due to their content. In this case, it is a common piece of literature for students to read, and look up, and thus is likely to be a target of spot vandalism, forever. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:17, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Hey DB. Part of the situation here is that the article is just pending changes protected, so it is possible to track the rise or fall of vandalistic edits. AJ29, care to be a bit more specific? Can you give us a sense of about how many bad-faith edits from unregistered/new users we see each month? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:22, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The number of bad-faith edits is misleading, as once they see they can't edit directly, they don't attempt. My opinion still stands that core articles that are likely to be vandalized should be kept protected simply because the good outweighs the bad in doing so. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:35, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with Dennis. School articles, and articles closely tied to school classes (e.g. Romeo and Juliet, Christopher Columbus) will always be a targets of vandalism.-- Ponyobons mots 19:27, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not unprotected. Since ECP was established for this article, there have been about 100 reverts of unconstructive edits, although only a handful in 2023. There was an especially high concentration of disruptive edits in 2022. This confirms my opinion of ECP as a bad design feature that merely creates more work for established editors, with an almost unmeasurable margin of reduction in disruption. It would have been better to semiprotect the article. With the current rate of vandalism, ECP is probably appropriate. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:49, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Crime opentask

Reason: Template:Crime opentask was protected in October 2019 for reasons I can't discern (says it's for vandalism but this template wasn't vandalized so I assume it was for broader issues). It's not transcluded in many pages or any main pages, so I don't think it counts as a highly visible template. At the very least can it be lowered to extended confirmed editing?

It being protected sort of defeats its use. The opentasks are years out of date, and while I would like to add more modern ones it seems tedious to ask for that every time when these are often time sensitive issues. This might not even be useful anymore so it could also be entirely deleted I suppose. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:01, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notifying the protecting admin, Ivanvector, which the OP neglected to do in spite of the bright yellow note at the top of this section. One observation regarding the claime that It's not transcluded in many pages, the template is currently transcluded in 49,334 pages. Favonian (talk) 08:21, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Declined. Additionally, the protection summary says it was protected because it is a Wikipedia:High-risk templates, not vandalism. This entire request is borked because you didn't read the actual reason for the protection, the instructions on this page, or the number of transclusions. Additionally, the log clearly shows a link to the original request, AND it shows a link to a closed discussion with a clear snowball consensus to protect it, so it was a community decision. You are wasting people's time when you don't bother to do just a little homework. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 11:03, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
