Temporary semi-protection: Slow-moving edit war between two dynamic IPs (one of which might be an LTA) over the past week. Sable232 (talk) 15:16, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. It's not quite at the point where the page needs to be protected. I'd recommend reaching out to the editors on the talk page. Having a third-party insert a compromise into the article might be an option too. If you have evidence on that last part, I would recommend reporting it to WP:ANI. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:18, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There seem to have been intermittent unconstructive edits by IP editors over quite a long period of time, and most new editors find DAB pages tricky. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 05:26, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't a better target be The Notorious B.I.G.? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 15:14, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jenks24: @Jéské Couriano: Thre's also B.I.G (band). Maybe it should be a disambiguation page, considering all the possible meanings for the acronym[2], some of which we likely have articles about already. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:28, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Ah, nevermind, I see Big is already a disambiguation page, and B.I.G. (with a period at the end) already redirects there, so I have made this one a redirect also. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:33, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edge (wrestler)

Reason: A wrestler whose contract with WWE has recently ended is heavily expected to join rival organization, AEW. Although it has yet to be proven, a massive amount of IP edits are changing it to reflect his speculative new employment. On top of that, other users are vandalizing the article to say that he's joined a third organization. Requesting temporary semi-protection. NJZombie (talk) 01:10, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dipesh

Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated. TornadoLGS (talk) 01:53, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Some amazing stuff, though. Quoting: Death symmetry [Dipesh] was amazing with women, sky rocketing his success with women in a quick pace. Guys around him were all time amazed to see him with different women. And women are always jealous on unconscious lever to see him with other women rapidly. It was believed that women who talk to him will get sexually attracted to him instantly. El_C 02:09, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – IPs again showing up to restore changes by User:3 Löwi who was indeffed for sockpuppetry. Mellk (talk) 09:36, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The edit in question is also this by a CU-blocked sock with IPs from all over Spain and neighbouring places (see the SPI for context) showing up to restore the edits on the article which is 3 Löwi's 5th most edited article. Also (by "coincidence") the latest IP made edits to Kaleva (airplane) which 3 Löwi has made several edits on before he was blocked. Mellk (talk) 22:12, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Belteshazzar

Indefinite semi-protection: Belteshazzar is a globally banned user who has been involved in harassment and stalking of editors. Their Sockpuppet Investigations had to be locked because they kept using proxy IPs to edit it. The same is happening at Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Belteshazzar, examples [3], [4], [5]. I believe it should receive indefinite semi-protection. Psychologist Guy (talk) 16:10, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CBS Dream Team

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Various IPs are apparently continuing to insist that this block's forthcoming rebrand to "CBS WKND" somehow makes that a completely different/new block and that this one is thus "defunct" (even though little else is actually changing).

Arsenal F.C.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism, disruptive editing and adding unsourced content. This page's history is haunted with vandalism, reverts and trolls, I'm simply amazed that this article doesn't already have indefinite protection as most big Premier League clubs do. I think indefinite protection is the only option and, without a doubt, the most effective choice given the article's long history of trouble. Idiosincrático (talk) 03:47, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected indefinitely. Surprised this was only restored to PC this summer ... the log has an admin saying two years ago that PC clearly wasn't working. Daniel Case (talk) 06:37, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Request PP per WP:GENSEX. Raladic (talk) 03:52, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I know it's an obvious target for this sort of abuse, and I have duly placed a CTOPS notice on the talk page, but it doesn't seem to be taking too much of it in the last couple of months. Daniel Case (talk) 05:37, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ravidassia

Reason: High level of vandalism on Ravidassia. I removed unsourced material and claims but Dev Mahey reverting my contributions and sometimes Dev Mahey reverting my edits as being logged out from Wikipedia id. IMFWHO (talk) 05:52, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He is a casteist and has nothing to do with the Ravidassia community. How come Guru Ravidass Picture is an unsourced material claim by IMFWHO. All the information on the page is published with references. Dev Mahey (talk) 06:07, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

175.39.209.94 is also Dev Mahey, Dev Mahey use his ip adress (175.39.209.94) to avoid him from being notable by administrator bcoz you can the edit history of both, all belong to Chamar and Ravidasdia.IMFWHO (talk) 06:25, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. So you guys can use the talk page to try to work this out, like you haven't yet. Daniel Case (talk) 06:43, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ravidassia

Reason: IMFWHO is a casteist and is distorting the Ravidassia page. He has not only deleted the Guru Ravidass picture from the page but also continuously deleted a list of notable Ravidass people. The proper references have been provided for most of the eminent people. There are many other caste pages where such casteists can find such a list, but casteist people like him only target pages where information about Dalits is provided. So I request page protection.

Regards 175.39.209.94 (talk) 06:15, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello administrators, 175.39.209.94 is also Dev Mahey, Dev Mahey use his ip adress (175.39.209.94) to avoid him from being notable by administrator bcoz you can the edit history of both, all belong to Chamar and Ravidasdia.IMFWHO (talk) 06:27, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. So you guys can use the talk page to try to work this out, like you haven't yet. See above dupe report. I have also tagged the talk page with a CTOPS notice, so if you keep doing this after the protection expires, sanctions may be more severe.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – an anon user with several IP addresses continues to make improper changes on the page, despite being warned as to why his actions are not correct.

Judging from the editing area (Karnataka, and transport related), seems like an IP sock of LTA User:Lokeshwaran V R, see the SPI case page [6]. See the editing history ([7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]) and the warnings for disregard of WP:COMMONNAME on their talk page [14]. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:29, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sikhism

Reason: Semi-protection: I have noticed that over the last few weeks countless edits have been made on this page that are either very poorly made, unsourced or just plain vandalism. In order to protect this page from such edits, I request that this page be made semi-protected so that page relating to such a large religion can be saved from vandalism. It is shocking to me that this page is not protected in the first place. 

PrinceofPunjab (talk) 05:34, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. While it's certainly smack in the middle of the IPA contentious topic, and probably attracted more attention in the last few weeks due to the Canada/India diplomatic crisis, there really doesn't seem to be the kind of edit warring that would justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 05:40, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But almost every single other religion have their pages protected, but this page is just left vulnerable to any future vandalism, which will happen in the future. Many times attempts have been made to describe Sikhism as a part of Hinduism. PrinceofPunjab (talk) 05:44, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"this page is just left vulnerable to any future vandalism, which will happen in the future" We never protect pages because we think they will be vandalized, only because they actually are getting overwhelmed. Daniel Case (talk) 05:46, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, cite examples of Meitei women being raped to present a balanced view of victims on both sides. Example: https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/woman-alleges-gang-rape-in-manipurs-churachandpur-police-register-case/article67179096.ece Goodshoemaker (talk) 17:56, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. @Goodshoemaker: Please follow the directions at the top. You haven't proposed a change on the article talk page. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:29, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's because they can't until 03 Oct; the talk page is itself semi-protected until then due to a flood of poorly-conceived drive-by ECP edit requests that appear to be along the same vein as the drive-by requests we're seeing here. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 04:05, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if that's the case, then certainly this page here isn't the place to entertain such requests either. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:07, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I believe this is the right place to request an edit because the 4th bullet point ie
If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests. is applicable.
I am unable to propose a change on the article talk page. The editor/contributor Kautilya3 who enforced an Extended-confirmed-protection on this article holds a one-sided view of the 2023 Manipur Violence. The 2023 Manipur Violence is a conflict between two communities viz Meitei and Kuki. Kautilya3's view represents perspectives in favor of the Kuki but demonizes the other community ie Meitei. They state false statements such as Anti-Christian sentiment as a cause of the conflict. The one-sided view fueled by a political opinion is reflected in this article. Wikipedia should not allow one-sided views. Goodshoemaker (talk) 04:49, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Framing this as an "us vs. them" argument by characterising an administrator's discretionary sanction as biased is grounds to (1) put you on notice of those sanctions (in this case, WP:ARBIPA) and (2) summarily reject your request as furthering a content dispute, which is also out of scope here. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 07:17, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. My reading is that there is an edit war that has been ongoing regarding the addition of Kennedy's views on vaccines and conspiracy theories in the article's lede section. I have seen minimal discussion about whether this should be included or not. The issue is NOT whether those stances are documented or not, but whether they should be included in that paragraph.

Airi

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. ISP user has (for well over a year) repeatedly removed referenced material from the article with various claims of "There are NO Estonian people with the given name Airi. Do NOT revert these edits", "There are no females from Estonia with the given name Airi, as it is very rare.", "No people from Estonia named Airi.", "Removed content. There are no people from Estonia with the given name Airi.", "Removed content. There are no people from Estonia with the given name Airi, as it is used only in Finnish and Japanese.", etc., despite there being clear references for Airi being an Estonian name (an official name day in the country, referenced statistics, and at least 13 Estonian women named Airi to be notable enough to have articles on Estonian Wikipedia.) This has become an irritating nuisance, and like whack-a-mole, they disappear and come back with another ISP. Were back at it (reverted by myself and another editor) twice today.

Kathryn Campbell

Reason: This page was previously requested for protection due to persistent IP vandalism regarding the use of non-NPOV language against BLP, and a refusal to engage on the issue on the talk page, with semi-protection granted to 4 October. The established consensus is for the contentious wording to not be used. Today, a day after the protection expired, an IP editor (likely the same as before) has tried to reinstate the wording with no engagement on the talk page. This was quickly reverted by another editor, but I am concerned that the semi-protection has simply delayed this issue from starting up again. I request either an extended period of page protection (6 months semi-protection) or permanent protection (indefinite semi-protection). Thanks.

Per the protection policy, modules with 1000-2500 transclusions that are not frequently substituted are put under ACP, not TP. Awesome Aasim 14:39, 5 October 2023 (UTC) Withdrawn, see below.

Any special reason why you haven't asked the protecting admin, Trappist the monk, as the bright yellow note at the top of this sections says? Oh well, now I've done it. Favonian (talk) 14:44, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what 'ACP' means, it isn't defined in WP:PROTECT nor at WP:RFPP. For that matter, neither is a 1000–2500 transclusion specification. I protected Module:Time because an editor was making breaking changes without discussion or testing. In the nearly five years since the module was protected, there have been relatively few changes, all appropriately handled through edit requests so I see no pressing need to change the protection. But if you feel the need to change that protection because policy then do so. But, before you do, please show where ACP and the 1000-2500 specification are defined.
—Trappist the monk (talk) 15:41, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I was saying that a bot operating on consensus typically protects a template at semi-protected level for 1000-2500, extended confirmed for 2500-5000, and template protected for 5000 and up. But in any case, those are just rough guidelines.
I'll withdraw my RfPP. I don't know what I was thinking earlier today. trout Self-trout Awesome Aasim 17:52, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

G. Edward Griffin

Indefinite semi-protection. Griffin is a deranged conspiracy theorist with legions of fans so this is an extremely sensitive article, one that has been targeted for years. On August 3rd, I requested indefinite protection because this page never, ever went more than a few days without getting vandalized by one of its subject's worshippers. Even a brief scroll through its history would reveal how perpetually vulnerable it is so I figured it was an honest mistake when User:QEDK protected it for only three months. The article was automatically unprotected on October 3rd and like clockwork, it was vandalized less than 48 hours later, an attack that never would have happened had my request been fulfilled. If this page doesn't get protected indefinitely, it will be vandalized at least every week and almost always more often than that. CityOfSilver 01:06, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @CityOfSilver: I know this kind of article is a problem but there has only been one IP edit since protection expired, and there had been no protection for over 2+1⁄2 years before that.

User talk:ClockworkSoul/Archive11 and others

Reason: I'd like access to these 21 pages to address the Tidy Font bug errors and other WP:LINT found within, as I have with similar requests. Each of these pages was 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) 03:57, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Capitals00 (talk) 10:35, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Capitals00, reverting and requesting full protection three minutes later has two possible interpretations to me: Either you had already planned to request protection, which would make the revert condemnable, or you changed your mind and are no longer interested in reverting before a consensus has been found, which would make the request unnecessary.
Fowler&fowler, thanks for self-reverting for now. Regarding Special:Diff/1179491653 and the edit summary of Special:Diff/1179484273, noticeboards exist (this one here, WP:ANEW and WP:AE) and threatening to message individual administrators carries a smell of seeking partiality in the administrative intervention. Not your intention, of course, but unnecessary.
I'll archive this for now; you're both experienced enough to deal with this.

Pridnestrovie

Reason: An editor made this redirect into an article out of the blue [44]. Their justification was "Redirection to Romanian term is incorrect, a separate article is required. Started." There has been someone who for years has shown their disliking of the Romanian name Transnistria (the target of this redirect) [45] [46] [47]. "Pridnestrovie" has already been rejected with strong consensus numerous times as a title for an article page. Still this person has tried to push their way through in the redirect itself before [48] [49]. This has been going for years so I believe the redirect should be protected because this person will continue. Note that an article for the region as this person created has also been deemed not notable before Talk:Transnistria (region)#Content fork.

@Daniel Quinlan: That is absolutely superlative. Do you think you might do Kansas City metropolitan area for two years also? It has exactly the same abuse from the same person, for exactly the same data points.

2023 Israel–Hamas war

Reason: This page is under CT restriction of 1RR. I think this is an unworkable restriction for this page. The article is less than a month old, so any edit that is not adding entirely new text is a revert as defined. Because the page is full of NOTNEWS additions and some ideologues adding obvious policy violations to the article, it's impossible for editors to keep up with ordinary editing. I'd suggest 24-BRD (best) or Consensus Required (second best) as alternatives, without 1RR. 1RR promotes stability, but this article cannot be stable in the current circumstance. I don't know who added the current restriction, so I am posting this here. SPECIFICO talk 17:15, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SPECIFICO, 1RR was imposed on the whole topic area by ArbCom (see WP:ARBPIA4#Amendment (September 2021)). I think you'd need to take such a request to WP:ARCA. If you think 24h-BRD or CR would be helpful as an additional restriction, you might request it at WP:AE. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:31, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OH. Thanks very much. I don't think more restrictions will help, just that it's accumulating lots of bad or outdated content and nobody can keep track -- or if they can keep track they can't fix it because of the 1RR. SPECIFICO talk 17:42, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Extended or Full protection: Owner of the user talk page does not accept new messages directed to them at the talk page. According to the talk page history, ever since early 2019, whenever any user tries to communicate through the user talk page, the owner just simply deletes their comment. Thus, it is a clear statement that no one should "mess" with that page, no matter their circumstances. This won't bring more chaos hopefully.102.159.92.5 (talk) 07:35, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

California Valley Miwok Tribe

Reason: As legal counsel for the California Valley Miwok Tribe, I am requesting full protection for the Wikipedia page listed above. There is a long and complicated legal dispute between Tribal members and potential members of the Tribe. At present the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs is operating a process to attempt to recreate a government and which expands membership in the Tribe to some of those potential members. The potential members have been emboldened by the BIA’s acts and edited the content of the Wikipedia page to describe themselves as elected officials of the Tribe, despite that no new governing document has been created, and despite that the BIA has not yet held an election. The Tribe requests full protection to preserve the status quo while federal courts and agencies resolve numerous related legal issues. Full protection should be indefinite until one of two triggering events occurs. First, the page moderator is provided evidence that the BIA has executed a “638 Contract” providing federal funding to the Tribe post-dating the full protection date and bearing endorsement by the Chairperson, Chief, or other recognized leader of the Tribe. Second, the page moderator is provided evidence that the California Gambling Control Commission has released Revenue Sharing Trust Fund money to the Tribe post-dating the full protection date and stating who the Chairperson, Chief, or other recognized leader of the Tribe is. Absent one of these two triggering events, the Wikipedia page should remain fully protected, subject to edits by consensus through the page administrator.

Our law firm, Peebles Kidder Bergin & Robinson LLP, represents the General Council led by Silvia Burley. The General Council was previously recognized by the United States and the State of California as the government for the California Valley Miwok Tribe, and the individuals comprising the General Council are recognized as duly enrolled members of the Tribe as established by documentation and judicial decree. Although the BIA has refused to conduct relations with the General Council in recent years, the United States has never recognized an alternative government for the Tribe, and has never recognized any other purported government as having individuals who are members of the Tribe (except for one deceased individual). The General Council is the Tribal government, and the only recognized government for the Tribe. Despite the General Council’s strong evidence to support its leadership, since approximately 2015 outsiders have militated against its legitimacy. That dispute is borne out in the Wikipedia Talk for the California Valley Miwok Tribe and in the history of revisions for the Wikipedia page. While the General Council would prefer to be in control of its own history, identity, and description, in order to protect the integrity and legitimacy of the Tribe the General Council is willing to forego its own edits and updates to the Wikipedia Page to prevent unauthorized non-member individuals from spoiling its image, and to avoid spending sparse governmental resources on content battles.

Therefore, the General Council respectfully requests that the Wikipedia page be fully protected as described above. In the alternative, the General Council would welcome an opportunity to present factual evidence establishing its position as the only recognized government for the Tribe, and requests that the Wikipedia page be edit-restricted to the General Council’s designee. 207.173.134.252 (talk) 16:49, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Anomaly Agent

Anomaly Agent oyunu, Türk YouTuber Enis Kirazoğlu tarafından kurulan Phew Phew Games stüdyosunun ilk oyunu olarak dikkat çekiyor. Oyun, cyberpunk bir evrende geçiyor ve oyuncular, dünyayı kaosa sürüklemeye çalışan anomalileri durdurmak için Ajan 70 adlı bir karakteri kontrol ediyor. Oyun, stilize pixel art grafikleri, akıcı aksiyon mekanikleri, zamanla oynayan bir hikaye, ilginç karakterler ve synthwave müzikleri ile oldukça keyifli bir deneyim sunuyor. Oyunun Steam sayfasına buradan ulaşabilir, ücretsiz demosunu indirerek oyunu deneyebilirsiniz. Oyunun çıkış tarihi ve fiyatı henüz belli değil, ancak yakın zamanda duyurulması bekleniyor.

Prime Minister of New Zealand

Reason: Same reason as the Hipkins request. Election results seem to have made people think the opposition becomes Prime Minister automatically, which is not true. Christopher Luxon still has to be appointed officially once a coalition agreement has taken place.

Why are you concerned with a redirect being protected? Do you need to change it? OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:31, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I note that the protection was applied when the page was called simply Flux and there was move disruption on that name due to the word "Flux" having a dominant meaning for a physics topic rather than a redirect. The name was changed to Flux (software) after protection, so I think the protection on the current name would no longer apply. ~Anachronist (talk) 15:54, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • If there is disruption potential at the target, then you leave the redirect protected. Unprotecting a direct, which isn't watched nearly as much as the article, is just opening up a vector for abuse, with nothing to be gained. The redirect doesn't need to be edited regularly, so what are you gaining? What edit do you want to do to this redirect? if this is just an academic exercise, because you think it "doesn't need it", then you are wasting people's time.

Sanātana Dharma

x- In Sanskrit, Sanātana Dharma translates approximately to "eternal law" or, less literally, "eternal way."[4] In Pali, the equivalent term is Dhammo Sanātano (धम्मो सनन्तनो).[4] In Hindi, the Sanskrit tatsama dharma (धर्म) is being used as "religion".[5][verification needed] Sanātana Dharma (सनातन धर्म) roughly translates to "eternal religion".

Y- Sanatan Dharma emphasizes the belief in karma (the law of cause and effect), dharma (moral and ethical duties), and moksha (liberation from the cycle of reincarnation). It also involves the worship of various deities, rituals, meditation, and the study of sacred texts like the Vedas and Upanishads. Maniladhawan (talk) 15:38, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: High level of sockpuppetry and disruptive editing, persistent for multiple months involving recurrent WP:SPA behavior beginning back to summer of this year to now (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sheepman2099/Archive). The page was previously protected because of such activity on 1 July 2023 by Daniel Case, and has returned since the protection expired. GuardianH (talk) 03:13, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Song Hye-kyo

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent removal of reliably sourced content from BLP without explaination by multiple IPs (118.96.248.149, 61.94.145.245, 180.253.240.45, 36.78.71.151, 180.253.244.175) originating from Indonesia since 14 September 2023. Of which, only the 4th IP has been blocked for such since it's the only one that reaches L4 warning. They have since return back with a new IP (5th one) again doing the same disruptive removal again without explaination.

Reason: Disruptive editing began with WP:BLP/WP:GENSEX, but has now progressed to a flurry of IP and new account attempts to disrupt with BLP violations. Beccaynr (talk) 04:32, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The disruption actually seems to be primarily related to WP:ARBPIA. Partofthemachine (talk) 04:35, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
GENSEX-related disruption also continued, i.e. [84], [85] and on the Talk page, an IP mentioned her gender [86]. Since this request, one of the apparent unsourced ARBPIA-related BLP vios was in the article for several hours [87] [88]. IPs later added a Twitter/X account unaffiliated with Tosca [89] and the WP:NYPOST as sources [90] for what appears to be some misrepresentation of these unreliable sources, which makes poorly-sourced contentious claims appear even worse than reported by the tabloid and Twitter/X.

Reason: We need to change it from the state of Israel to Palestine, since that is the actual truth, and currently as i'm typing this, this is literally the only help atm that i can offer to the civillians of gaza that are currently getting ethnically cleansed by israel and america. and i hope to whoever that reads this, or if no one does, i just hope that you realize how sick the world we live in is for when people try to stand up for humanity, try to stand up for palestine, there are people that lack brain cells that say that hamas is the terrorist, hamas was literally created because israel has been terrorizing palestinians for years and years, they've been in control of every essential part of their lives, they cut their water and electricity. but this is not the point. what i want is, that just for a day if teh person who reads this still has part human in them, please change the title of, state of Israel to Palestine, even for a day. because if that happens people will unite, and they will understand that there is still hope, not just for meida, but to stop this atrocity of a genocide.

Maxine Dibert

Reason: For such a new article on a relatively obscure topic, we sure have a lot of people determined to push the notion that her name is "Maxine Dilbert". This in spite of [100] [101] [102] [103]. Curiously, as seen here, the Alaska Democratic Party doesn't know the name of its own elected officials and thinks it's Maxine Dilbert. Anyway, requesting move protection. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 22:26, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment: All involved users are experienced editors, so I'd simply recommend someone open a new thread at the talk page to discuss this issue, rather than full move-protecting a recently and barely edited article. RadioKAOS, I'd also recommend you tone down on your edit summaries, no need to be so abrasive to what seems like a small mistake. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 22:33, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • RadioKAOS, I've made two dummy edits to the redirect, so it can no longer simply be overwritten. This may already be the amount of protection needed. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:49, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gender and sexuality is a contentious topic and page protection decisions of contentious topics are at the discretion of an uninvolved administrator. Page protection is not automatic. If disruption resumes, someone can resubmit the article. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:29, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Bbb23: It looks like this article has been continually disrupted for over a year. I think semi-protection at the very least would be a good idea. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:32, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A handful of IP edits in the last 3 weeks isn't enough for me. However, if you want to semi-protect the article, go ahead, Daniel.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:31, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just want to send my thanks. As you can see on the talk page and in its archives, I'm willing to engage with editors (including IP accounts) who are at least trying to approach the page seriously, or are at least open to guidance to Wikipedia policy pages on things like reliable sources, but the current Middle East situation has made what is usually an every few weeks IP addition just shouting into the wilderness into sometimes multiple times an hour. Obviously, I I don't own that talk page or the article, but I am among the more active editors trying to maintain reliable sourcing instead of personal feelings an beliefs, which is a lot of what is being brought to the talk page. Even this temporary semi-protection will make that job easier, and wouldn't it be great if the situation that is bringing editors to that talk page mellowed by then? One can dream. --OuroborosCobra (talk) 17:36, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Quinlan: Question, if you add a CTOPS notice, which says, "You must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days", why decline the protection policy which makes that a rule? Right now, that CTOPS notice does nothing as anyone can edit the article, even without the 30/500 rule as directed by ArbCom? Just a general question as I haven't really heard of a ArbCom 30/500 protection request ever being declined before? The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 18:54, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Pages are not protected preemptively as a matter of policy and there's nothing in WP:CTOP or WP:ARBECR that overrides that policy.

@Steven Walling: which edits are you referring to? I cannot find a single recent edit by a non-autoconfirmed user that was constructive. There were some edits this morning that MediaWiki didn't mark as "Reverted", but that's because there was so much vandalism that it was hard for other users to revert properly. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 21:38, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Edits like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Junior_Eurovision_Song_Contest_2023&diff=prev&oldid=1181375829 do not look like vandalism, but rather good faith misunderstandings of policy and guidelines, and there are other editors like Euromalena who were not autoconfirmed until recently.

Yom Kippur War Atrocities

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: WP:CTOP: WP:A/I/PIA. Wikishovel (talk) 17:57, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I did add a CTOPS notice to the talk page, though. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 18:33, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Quinlan: This is a split from Yom Kippur War, which is ECP'd, and under WP:ARBECR there's a presumption of using ECP on primary articles within the ARBPIA topic area, so I've ECP'd (well, ECP'd the new title, Yom Kippur War atrocities; left the redir as-is). -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 21:18, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Tamzin: Can you point me at that part of WP:ARBECR or WP:ARBPIA so I can familiarize myself? I'd like there to be such a policy, but I didn't see anything that says administrators should preemptively protect articles in the topic area, even in the case of an article split. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:28, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Quinlan: Sure. If a page (other than a "Talk:" page) mostly or entirely relates to the topic area, broadly construed, this restriction is preferably enforced through extended confirmed protection, though this is not required. This doesn't conflict with WP:PREEMPTIVE, because non-EC users may not, in an ECR area, edit any of these pages at all—so ECP just enforces that rule a technical level, without denying any non-EC users their right to edit the page (because they lack the right in the first place). The only reasons we haven't protected all ARBPIA pages en masse are limited admin resources and a recognition that, on low-traffic pages, the steady trickle of non-EC edits may be net-positive on an IAR basis. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 21:43, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Tamzin: I have a different perspective on WP:ARBECR, particularly in light of historical cases where administrators have sometimes denied protection requests (in areas covered by WP:ARBECR) due to the lack of recent or significant disruption. It's possible that some improvements could be made in the policy's implementation and drafting. Regardless, if you want to protect it under WP:IAR, I have no objection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:56, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Quinlan: Protecting isn't an IAR action. Protecting is the default. Sometimes it may make sense to exercise one's discretion and not protect a page, as ARBECR contemplates. But that's a discretionary departure from the norm; it doesn't mean that there is a requirement that there be ongoing disruption in order to ECP an ECR'd page. If you see it otherwise, it may be worth inquiring at WP:ARCA. In this particular case, an incredibly controversial topic like atrocities in the Yom Kippur War seems the exact kind of article the ECR was intended for, and so in my mind a poor candidate for discretionary refusal of ECP. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 22:04, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Daniel Quinlan, what is the benefit of allowing at least one user to waste their time on an edit before being reverted and seeing the page being protected in response? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:50, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ToBeFree, I have that thought all of the time reading some declines here and I'm amenable to policy allowing for protection in this circumstance, but if ARBECR intends preemptive protection (overriding WP:PREEMPTIVE), it should be clearer about it. I'm already headed towards making a request about ARBECR, and this will definitely be part of that. I'm happy to discuss ARBECR further on Discord or elsewhere. Regards.

International cricket in 2023–24

Reason: IP editor keeps reverting changes that have been made to apply a consistent style is cricket articles, particularly season result summaries. We always list the home team in a fixture first.

Reason: Semi-protection.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated attempts to remove sourced information about lawsuits involving this company since 2019. This page was temporarily protected in 2018 and 2020. SparklyNights 01:34, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • @SparklyNights: I'm not declining this but I would not feel comfortable protecting a stub article about a newspaper where 75% of the content concerns allegations against a person, the publisher. Johnuniq (talk) 02:14, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protecting the article was the only thing that has stopped the person who was acting disruptively on it in 2020, as the only topic on the talk page shows. It even led him to think about contacting an admin to see what could be done, which is a step up from the disruptive behavior he was displaying before. Maybe a pending changes protection could be a more reasonable option here? Maybe that could get him to make a more reasonable attempt to convince other editors to remove the allegations from this page. SparklyNights 03:29, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects to 2023 Wagner Group plane crash

Reason: If this redirect is not protected, why are the above redirects protected then?102.159.210.112 (talk) 14:14, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They were apparently subject to some move warring, and the unprotected one was not. Do you want them changed? And if so, to what? ~Anachronist (talk) 14:33, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, I do not mean to condemn their protection status. I believe that it is alright to protect redirects which are targets to, what you mentioned, move disputes without consensus. The thing is, fearing about that fact, will those users, who moved those pages, going to move them in the future, without consensus? Certainly not. In fact, those users might vanish into the thin air and would be never be found across WMF. Thus, in this case, I am only suggesting that the pages ought not to be protected after some time. And therefore, a time-based protection (preferably over a dozen of months) would be the last solution to the protected redirects, with the exception of the main article itself.197.26.160.169 (talk) 16:17, 16 October 2023 (UTC)(Sorry if my address got changed.

Pinging Idmsdmsalescaleneiviq and Joyous!, who applied those protections. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:07, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As Anachronist said, I protected the one that had protection requested, and used indef timing because I wasn't convinced that the users who were move-warring were going to vanish. I have no issue with setting a time, though. Joyous! Noise! 16:11, 17 October 2023 (UTC) 197.26.160.169 is asking for.[reply]
  • Redirects are often protected at a lower threshold because there is virtually no reason why an unregistered or new user needs to change a redirect, other than to cause problems or continue (or start) an edit war. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 23:07, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Adding to this: the article is under pending changes protection but this actually adds to the problem: if anonymous editors make bad changes immediately before and after others make good ones (and this has happened very recently to User:KlayCax, User:White whirlwind, User:That'sHedley, and definitely others), it becomes nearly impossible for me and other PC1 reviewers to maintain the good stuff while getting rid of the bad stuff. There are, as of this very second, 10 pending changes, several of which are from editors who should not be affected by PC1, and unless the article gets semiprotected, I can't even start to sort through them.

Reasonable edits actually. As seasoned editors like @MikeAllen are also being targeted by @Nyxaros. Are they also “socks”? Please don’t let this zealous editor WP:GAME his way into an agenda which at present is violating etiquette regarding MOS:ACCLAIMED, for which @Nyxaros has already been warned. Give others pinged here a chance to chime in please. 65.144.126.194 (talk) 18:57, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, very believable. That's why you are getting blocked for months now. ภץאคгöร 19:04, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Our differences was never related to the Mission Impossible page. The multiple sources Nyxaros add do have passing mentions of "critical acclaim", but they do not break down (in a scholarly way) why or how the film was critically acclaimed. That's what I think MOS:ACCLAIMED means by "attributed" to multiple high quality sources (some are questionable). This would probably be better on the WP:FILM talk page. Mike Allen 19:22, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@ I half agree with MikeAllen. However, perhaps you should cite @Barry Wom and @Gwankoo as more direct examples of proper edits being reverted w/o a proper discussion?
  • See this combative example, in this diff for instance.
To a patrolling admin(s), Nyxaros is conveniently failing to mention that an admin has already warned him about his WP:POINTy position here, encouraging him to work things out with everyone as an alternative to abusing process- as Nyxaros is hoping to group all "reasonable edits" with those from a disruptive few, at the expense of substance over personality, when all anons shouldn't be punished for his inability to play nice.
Evem in the best case- protecting a page won't stop Nyxaros in his ongoing edit-war with the aforementioned registered users at all, including those he those he provokes (socks or not, withstanding), as evidenced in his thread with him rubbing it in. If anything, giving this oxygen and an inadvertent rubber stamp enables obvious WP:OWNership behavior by Nyxaros and his WP:BATTLEGROUND mindset as evident in this exchange.
And w/o a proper SPI, Nyxaros is offering conjecture for now at best. Even if true then that's hardly a justification for edit-warring, let alone asking for page-protection as a possible cover for it IMHO. Seems like a WP:ANI is a better fit for some very complicated, possible LTA and longstanding dynamics and feuding, all around. 204.107.184.38 (talk) 20:32, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You didn't have to change your IP again to continue spreading your absurdity, even after MikeAllen's comments. As in the example of the admin who did not warn me, it seems that you will continue to be blocked as long as you make up things in your mind and continue to tell that story of inexactitude and unfounded accusations. Refrain from seeking attention from me and redirect your focus toward other aspects of life. You are just making it easier for everyone to see the apparent preoccupation of persistent engagement over months in following my contributions across various pages by disruptively editing and utilizing different IPs. Ignore the sources and your rejected edit request on the talk page. ภץאคгöร 21:23, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Paolo Petrocelli

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paolo Petrocelli. Article was redirected by AFD, but is repeatedly recreated. Please lock article so that only established reviewers have access. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:15, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not that easy for multiple reasons.
  • Extended-confirmed protection is normally limited to cases where semi-protection has "proven to be ineffective"; this has arguably not happened yet as the page was never protected at all and the frequency of disruption is already low.
  • The 2017 consensus was about a different article with less sources; WP:G4 would relatively clearly not apply if the result had been "delete".
  • In case the topic became notable since 2017, creating a new article about the same topic with new sources is an acceptable approach, and reverting such a creation only because a different article was redirected would be inappropriate.
Extended-confirmed protection would also, of course, not ensure that only established reviewers have access. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:08, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
User:ToBeFree - Okay. I know that ECP is not limited to reviewers, except in practice, where other experienced editors usually are not interested in the article.

Fully protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 05:49, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
While I respect the full protection, please note that discussion is not currently underway. It has been nearly 48 hours since the last response on the talk page which was in effect the user requesting protection stating that they did not want an edit that was well-sourced (according to precedent) and relevant to be present on the page without his personal input and ability to contextualize it with other sources. This is an ownership concern. I should not have to wait to put up a well-sourced fact that does not manipulate any details until the user can put his own spin on it using outside sources. ChimaFan12 (talk) 06:03, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I told Chima, I've been busy in life and in other editing areas, while also reviewing sources for commentary on this matter at large. I have since responded to their message. The full protection is to prevent further edit warring while upholding the WP:STATUSQUO. Trailblazer101 (talk) 06:06, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I said before, I respect the full protection. What is a problem is you mischaracterizing my edits in order to obstruct any changes being made that you don't like. You say I'm invoking "alternate timelines" but I never did in my edit. The full scope of my edit was to state that Inhumans is not included in the official MCU timeline, which is true. You're obstructing it using the baseless rationale of "well the book only includes phases 1-4 and the shows aren't in any phase!" despite the fact that, immediately after explaining why movies and series from other storytellers and eras of Marvels aren't included, Kevin Feige explicitly describes the book as the full end to end history of the MCU.

Syrian Crisis of 1957

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP Infobox edit waring.

  • IP first removal of infobox [133]
  • I restored it,[134] and responded on talk page Talk:Syrian Crisis of 1957#Infobox
  • IP 2nd removal the infobox because it said it was a "military" conflict and it was a civil conflict.[135]
  • I changed the infobox from "military" to "civil" with same information aren restored it.[136]. This might have put me over 1RR, but I did make the changes requested and thought this would end the issue.
  • IP removed infobox a 3rd time, simply saying "broken"[137]

Reviewer should look at IP edit history for additional info on problems. I believe this is borderline vandalism and I made adjustments per request, so I think I had leeway on the 2RR, but I do not wish to rv again. Request review for pp and 3rd party restoration of either of the infoboxes (original is a better fit and their is a minor problem on the civil). If I have oversteped into EW territory, please let me know.  // Timothy :: talk  08:29, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Buck-Tick

Reason: A band member recently died, IPs are repeatedly adding the dead member to 'current' members. Some are also assuming the band is now disbanded, despite there being no official announcement one way or the other. The edits resumed as soon as the previous protection ended. Xfansd (talk) 18:01, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I dont see what your problem is. Referring to atsushi as 'the dead member' sounds highly disrespectful. We are repeatedly adding him to current members because he simply should not be referred to as a 'past' member. He may have died, but he had no plans of leaving the band whatsoever. Whether you like it or not, he will always be considered a member of Buck-Tick. I am 100% positive the rest of the band still considers him a member as well, even if he is no longer physically present. Furthermore, people are assuming that they have disbanded is because the band has stated many times that their activities as a band will continue until either they simply cannot carry on due to health issues, or a member's death. As you said, there is still no official announcement but the fate of the band is quite obvious. 2A02:9B0:8013:AF2D:359D:347:FD4C:5BC3 (talk) 20:34, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2023 Israel–Lebanon border clashes

The article states in the casualty section the correct amount of Hezbollah casualties, but not the correct number of IDF casualties, nor are the relevant losses such as armoured vehicles and tanks mentioned.

Demographics of sexual orientation

Reason: An IP editor has been engaging in week long edit war to include a table LGBT population estimates, including transgender people, which I have removed for being WP:OFFTOPIC. The article is about sexual orientation demographics, transgender identity is another population. I have reverted here and here and a week earlier, here. I notified them of their problem editing here on their talk page, after which they reverted me again and made some incorrect statement about original research. The WP:ONUS is on the IP editor adding the content. So, a WP:WHITELOCK or WP:SEMI would be appreciated. Zenomonoz (talk) 07:34, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Zenomonoz is confused. He is accusing me of being related to these two edits,[145][146] yet I am not whoever did those two edits. I simply restored their edits because Zenomonoz boldy removed a lot of good sources without giving any explanation outside of an edit summary. Some of the sources had been in the article since last year. So yeah the WP:ONUS has always been on Zenomonos for removing longstanding content.

Israel

The article is not neutral. I can help here. I'm not taking sides and have no agenda.

The record should be more neutral with respect to the origins and occupation, Jewish terrorism, and apartheid, among other things.

Another individual also complained that the article is not neutral. "Clearly the text mainly talks about the “crimes” of Israel, I’m sure when you go to a Wikipedia page about the US you don’t see the stuff they did first thing in the article, and they did a lot."

My response is as follows: 1) The "crimes" (her/his/their words) are not mentioned in the beginning of the entry on Israel either; Israeli "crimes" are only modestly first identified the subject, "International Opinion" (emphasis on opinion), and the section on International Opinion appears far below the fold. One reading the article could easily miss it unless the individual undertook a comprehensive reading of the entry, which few readers (by percentage) actually do. 2) Editing the entries of both Israel and the United States to improve historical accuracy, detail, and neutrality are not mutually exclusive. Indeed, these edits should be done. 3) The individual is engaging in "whataboutism."

I request permission to edit this article and submit it to Wikipedia. Wikipedia can decide which, if any, edits are appropriate. If edits are cleared one of its editors with 500 edits can add them or Wikipedia can grant me entry to implement the edits myself.

Zourafa

Reason: High level of vandalism, the surge in vandalism is political-driven, being specifically the outcome of ultra-nationalist politician (Cem Gurdeniz, a retired general in Turkey) yesterday making irredentist remarks about territories (Zourafa) belonging to neighboring countries (Greece). An article page protection will be required until things in politics calm down again. - ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 20:19, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
