Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Page was recently the subject of edit-warring by an anonymous editor who was subsequently blocked. The editor then changed his IP and came back to vandalise so Materialscientist protected the article, as well as List of countries by population (United Nations). Now that the protection has ended, the IP has returned. AussieLegend (✉) 18:31, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:07, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
Temporary pending changes: persistent edit warring. There's a previous request for protection here. We tried to block the IP user instead, which proved ineffective. After a week-long block, the same reverts are being made from a different IP. A persistent IP block would be inefficient and possibly hurt other editors from the same ISP, but rejecting pending changes would allow us to handle the situation without the disruptive edits hitting the article. Diego (talk) 07:06, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Visa requirements for Singaporean citizens (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Indefinite semi-protection: A vandal keeps making persistent insertion of factual errors. Multiple blocks so far haven't helped. Temporary protection of the page helped only while it lasted, for a few days. A quick glance at the article history speaks for itself, indefinite semi-protections is required. I can't sit all day long waiting to revert his persistent vandalism.Twofortnights (talk) 01:30, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
Declined, IP blocked, this spans well beyond just Singapore. The Henley Global use as a source is another issue in its own right, I have asked but had no response. This is easier to pick up if the edits are broad across multiple articles, and handled with an IP block. kelapstick(bainuu) 11:30, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Do you then disagree with your previous action because you protected it before on 8 April 2014 until 22 April 2014 for the very same reason. And yes IP is blocked for two weeks (despite requesting a serious reaction this time), but he edits from another IP address and God forbid he finds out about dynamic IP or proxies. Also it spanned beyond just this article only in the recent spree. And regardless of that, if we have this article where the vandalism is persistent and always the same (changing two numbers from 167 to 177 and 6 to 1) then it's irrelevant if he is also vandalizing other articles as the protection is not means to stop him but to protect the particular article. Also most of his vandalism edits are to Visa requirements for Singaporean citizens and over the course of several months. If we can't stop persistent targeted vandalism to one article with always the same edit - what can we do? This is not a rhetorical question.
- And I don't know what your question about Henley was, but they use open source information provided by IATA to compile that list, and you can disagree with it for whatever reason, but some things are pretty simple, such as is Singapore listed as having access to 177 countries or 167 countries, it's not a content dispute, it's a simple number that needs to be copied into the article from the table, nothing else to it. But anyway that is not the question here, and also there is no reason to further analyze the nature of his edits as they indeed have been recognized as vandalism, he was blocked for it, thus not protecting this article is a grave mistake. Protection wouldn't cause any visible harm, but not protecting it will make this request current again in a very short time.--Twofortnights (talk) 12:34, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- My issue with Henley is here, but in short, the question is "should we be using the self proclaimed Global Leaders In Residence and Citizenship Planning as a source for visa-free travel"? I have no desire to protect every Visa requirements for XXX citizens page on Wikipedia before knowing if we should be kiboshing what is effectively a moving consultant as a reliable source. If you look at the link to the IPs contributions, they have made edits to Iraq, Turkmenistan, Syria, etc. This is a larger problem that will not be solved by protection of one page alone. --kelapstick(bainuu) 12:45, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Interesting questions, but we can discuss them elsewhere as they are not very relevant here as this is a simple protection request regarding a user vandalizing the statistical data provided. Whether it is reliable or not, is only about whether it should be included or not as a source, not if it can be falsified. If the source says there are 5 somethings, then we can't write there are 6 somethings in the article where this source is used. And none of this is controversial, I repeat his IP was blocked, it was officially recognized as vandalism. As for the other edits I can only repeat myself, most edits were done to this and not other articles, only edits to this article are persistent, and only edits to this article are spanning over the course of several months and only edits to this article are always the same.--Twofortnights (talk) 14:49, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Than consider it
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. and
User(s) blocked.. two edits by one blocked IP and one blocked user in two days is hardly enough to warrant protection. Indefinate semi-protection is not necessary when it can, and is being handled by blocking. Sure there were more edits a week or two ago, but again the users/IP are blocked. Indefinite semi protection is only used when there are multiple anonymous users. After two weeks if the IP keeps it up, it will be blocked again. kelapstick(bainuu) 14:57, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- It is hard to understand what standards are being applied here as the situation is completely the same as in April when this was the decision made - [1]?--Twofortnights (talk) 15:06, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- "two edits by one blocked IP and one blocked user in two days is hardly enough to warrant protection." - how about a few dozen same edits over the course of two months? We could even build a bot that could automatically revert his edits as they are always the same, if anyone cared. If it is being handled, then how come I had to undo that vandalism dozens of times. The only moment when the vandalism was contained was when the article was protected. But I guess if you don't see a problem yourself without me pointing it out in the fact that some repetitive targeted (but easily recognizable) vandalism is occurring non-stop for two months and where we haven't managed to contain in the slightest (except for the 2 weeks when the article was protected) then nothing I write here can change it. We'll live with vandalism, because that is better than, umm well I don't know what, what are we protecting by non-protecting the article and allowing him to do his thing.--Twofortnights (talk) 15:14, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- I don't remember the exact justification from a month ago, but it probably had to do with the users/IPs not being blocked at the time of the request. --kelapstick(bainuu) 15:19, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

If there is something that needs to be changed during it's protection you can request an edit (a touchy subject, I'd suggest approaching an admin directly rather than using edit request on the talk page) or run for RfA, which would probably take less time then the content dispute. kelapstick(bainuu) 23:45, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

- Gobonobo just pinging. --kelapstick(bainuu) 23:36, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- @Kelapstick: Obamamania is a term that has been used in multiple sources [7][8][9], and is in the titles of several books [10][11][12], so I'm considering it a 'plausible search term'. Of course, if there are concerns that it would be subject to vandalism, it could always be protected. gobonobo + c 00:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- What article are you proposing to use it to redirect to? AndyTheGrump (talk) 00:17, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- I think that could be up for debate. I was thinking a soft direct to the Wiktionary article and possibly a disambiguation page. Obamamania was used mostly during the Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008 and public image of Barack Obama is related, though neither article mentions the term. It is mentioned as the 2008 Word of the year, but I don't think that's a good target. gobonobo + c 15:08, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

- Redirect targets are not always obvious. Sometimes several targets make sense and sometimes none do. That really has nothing to do with whether it is an obvious search term. gobonobo + c 15:22, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- Well if you want to make a redirect you should come up with where you want to target it before requesting unprotection, I would also think that this would require some discussion prior to creation as well.--kelapstick(bainuu) 20:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Declined, gobonobo Presumably you intend to redirect Obamamania to Barack Obama, but as a search term, it would be rather useless as the term Obamamania does not appear in the article whatsoever. You wouldn't search for Barack Obama by searching for Obamamania, you would just search Obama, which redirects to BO already. kelapstick(bainuu) 11:51, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

After the last one year ban expired on the 22nd April, article has experienced a staggering amount of vandalism from a wide variety of IP sources.

This relates to my AN3 report at WP:AN3#User:Yatzhek reported by User:Dougweller (Result: Locked. There's been a lot more drama over this than I expected, including an SPI[13] accusing User:Drmies, User:Ian.thomson and myself of being socks. The editor who locked it has agreed that any uninvolved Admin can unlock. Drmies has JSTOR and other material to add and I've also been researching the article. If you read the AN3 report in full (including comments by Drmies and others) and User talk:Yatzhek#Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion it seems unlikely that locking the article for a week will change Yatzhek's behavior, which is the only problem after semi-protection as added.

Semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism. The article includes some anthropological data focused on the occurences of an aquiline nose. Someone who is hiding behind an IP address is very persistent in reverting the sourced data (anthropological source) and trying to prove a WP:POINT by giving a source made by some economist whose hobby was anthropology and who was unaware of the extstance of Armenoid race in Europe. The gallery section is also being destroyed, and a lot of people who do not have an aquiline nose were added in place of people with classic aquiline noses.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – 30 day page protection just ended yesterday, I believe, and a recurring, IP hopping vandal based in Mexico has resumed the usual nonsense. There's not much to it, they keep editing the article to say this: [20] It's being considered vandalism because they continue to remove a perfectly legitimate template parameter, "format=dmy" without any explanation, they cannot be warned or reasoned with, they do not participated in discussion, they keep hopping IPs, and they've been at it since about December 2013. I could paste specific diffs, but I've done that numerous times. Please look at the article's edit history and you'll see the 189.159.* and 189.243* IPs all over this article. This isn't the only article either, they also keep messing with United Plankton Pictures where they keep changing section headers and adding blank sub-sections. Requesting long-term protection from IPs, say for 3 months? In the interim, I'll run this past ANI again for rangeblock consideration, but I'm sure I've done this before.

Indefinite Semi-protection: It seems that the disruptive editing starts again – it was quiet for a little while after the last semi-protection. It took a long time to get the article as neutral an unbiased as possible – informative and free of religious propaganda. Yet again large Russian language sections are included, referenced material deleted and information added to act as a soap box for a certain Nichiren branch. In the end all those edits and disruptions that led to the previous two semi-protections. Could the article be semi-protected indefinitely now? In the end the article can still be edited, but a stop would be made to disruptive edits by IP addresses.--Catflap08 (talk) 07:45, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Currently, multiple people involved in the conference in question are reverting a piece of information sourced to one sentence in one RS, with WPO mods putting it back in. For the sake of sanity, full protection for a week would be useful - that way we'll see if any other sources pick it up, and it'll also force people to discuss usefully on the talk page instead of just going back and forth. Kevin Gorman (talk) 22:14, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
- Gorman, you're being disingenuous. You and Cla68 are the only ones edit-warring, and you, being an administrator, are the more culpable. Your asking for full protection is nothing more than an attempt to win a content dispute by other means. Why don't you just keep talking about it on the talk page?

Pending changes protection: Third request in two weeks (previous was here). Obviously the anonymous editor making the disruptive edits is not going away, and comes from a different IP each time so the previous two individual blocks have proven ineffective. Semi-protection as suggested by the previous admin would be too high, as it would prevent other IP users from making constructive edits. Diego (talk) 14:01, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

This isn't the screenwriter, it's somebody concerned who knows the ins and outs and believee there isn't a fair dialog taking place.

Sir, you've been removing the negative script reception to all of Arash Amel's movies. Citations have been given on every article, with heavy criticism for the scripts. You have a history of editing the Erased and Grace of Monaco pages and removing only the criticism (that has citations) of Arash Amel's scripts. Patently you have a conflict of interest because you are a fan or you are the screenwriter himself. As Mr Amel isn't a huge name, I'm going with the latter. Other users have agreed with me. Wikipedia doesn't allow whitewashing. Only a neutral point of view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.39.8 (talk) 05:26, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Ma'am, you clearly have something against Mr Amel regardless of who you think I am (and again, I'm not him, just looking after his interests). I won't change it again because this is getting tiresome, so don't worry about protecting it or whatever. But you are not putting forward a neutral view as you haven't sourced all the available articles. That's all I ask. Wikipedia is more than just rottentomatoes. eg where is the coverage of the Grace of Monaco controversy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.58.102 (talk) 05:36, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Embarrassingly I didn't cite Rotten Tomatoes, even though the overall rating on their for both movies supports my other sources that the movies were woefully received with heavy criticism being aimed at scripts. I'm going to include the Cannes controversy on Mr Amel's page, you've reminded me to include the other articles about the script being completely fictitious. I have nothing against Mr Amel, I'm merely writing pages with a neutral view. You're attempting to whitewash Mr Amel's pages and take away any criticism from the scripts. That is called a conflict of interest, Sir. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.39.8 (talk) 06:52, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, you're still not presenting a fair and balanced view.

You're not actually. "Weinstein has frequently stated that the cut shown at Cannes was not in the spirit of the original screenplay." It doesn't mention that at all in the citation.

Temporary full protection: There seems to be a content dispute on whether to redirect the article to another article, given the fulfilled afd. Both editors are at three reverts and the discussion has token to edit summaries. An admin's intervention would be better appreciated than protection, but it would do its own justice nonetheless.

Indefinite semi-protection: Today some users and IP addresses are attempting to change the stable version of the lead that does not fit their POV. Other IP and new users have made contentious changes in the past and likely will continue to do so in the future.

Temporary semi-protection - An IP user (75.177.156.78) has taken to leaving me unwanted comments and unwarranted warnings (fallout from a recent dispute) despite my telling him not to post on my talk page. I'd like a short period of semi- to discourage him. Alternatively, an admin could instruct the IP that when someone asks you not to post on their talk page, unless you are required to do so by Wikipedia policy, it is disruptive to continue posting there, and can lead to being blocked from editing. Either works for me. BMK (talk) 23:19, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of three hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. Three hours suit you BMK? --kelapstick(bainuu) 23:22, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
- Sure, but you should note the comment below from the IP in question, which perhaps indicates an attempt to up-level to harrassment?
(The biting a newbie warning was inappropriate. I told an IP editor not to put links to a revisionist Holocaust deniers' website in the EL section for Oradour-sur-Glane, an article about a French village whose entire population was murdered by Nazis. I said to the IP "There is no place on Wikipedia for "revisionist" histories of Nazi atrocities. Do not add these external links to the article again" and I will make that statement again to the next editor who tries to insert it, hoewver many edits they have. That the IP below thinks that this is "biting a newbie" is just sad, really.) BMK (talk) 23:40, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
- I invite anyone to examine BMK's tone in the newcomer edit. Regardless of how much BMK disagrees with the newcomer's point of view, the tone is harsh. He didn't bother to issue a standard level one or even level two warning template; he chastised the editor after that editor's second edit to Wikipedia. And as I said, it's not the first time BMK has engaged in this type of behavior. But this is not the appropriate venue for this discussion, so I will not respond any further here (although I suspect BMK won't be able to resist the temptation to antagonize anyone here who disagrees with him, especially an IP like me). 75.177.156.78 (talk) 23:51, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
- Sure, but you should note the comment below from the IP in question, which perhaps indicates an attempt to up-level to harrassment?
- I have no opinion about the page protection, but for the record, I left BMK a level-one warning for biting a newcomer. For more details, look in the page history and follow the link to the page where he bit the newcomer. And that was not the first time he did so. And also for the record, although he never told me not to post on his page, I am now aware that is his request; but I also must point out that legitimate, templated warnings are permissible even under those circumstances. Thank you. 75.177.156.78 (talk) 23:32, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
- 75.177, you are very close to being blocked yourself for disingenuous trolling; you need to cut your losses and move on. BMK responded to Nazi revisionism with a terse but civil warning.

Temporary semi-protection - Agenda-pushing IP editor refusing to discuss on talk. There was a recent talk page discussion about this content, and pushing a very minor agenda in the WP:LEDE is WP:UNDUE and inappropriate, as is ignoring the talk page and referring to other people's edits as vandalism while edit-warring to push a minority POV. - Aoidh (talk) 22:09, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

The quote first appeared in September 2012, but was first removed much more recently, although it should have been removed long ago.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing and adding of WP:OR information by a dynamic IP user (a user who claims that each IP is a different user, while it is clearly the same one) --Omar-toons (talk) 01:40, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
- This page does indeed need to be protected, but the protection required is from the disruptive edits of Omar-toons. This user has acted consistently in the following negative ways:
- 1) Refusing to seek consensus or even discuss matters in the Talk page, user has insisted on making sweeping edits to a page whose content had been settled for a very long period of time, namely Pan-Arab colors. When user was urged to use Talk for this purpose, he refused, only using Talk at a later stage for two very specific, peripheral page issues and not for the main essence of his page-wide edits.
- 2) Changing page intro text with no explanation, then consistently reverting any and all edits to the page intro (again, with no explanation). User is a non-native English speaker, and, while of course this should not preclude him editing on Wikipedia, it can lead to a poorer quality of prose. The page intro (as of the last edit), the one that user seeks to delete, was not composed by a single editor with a single edit, but collaboratively by users over numerous edits to reach its current state. The English is superior, the facts are better presented, and, as alluded to earlier, it is in line with the settled text that had existed for a long period of time. User has refused to explain any of his edits to the page intro, or raise them on Talk.
- 4) Accusations of OR. User has made these accusations repeatedly, but refused to expand upon them in the edit summaries of his reversions. One would imagine that if user was genuinely concerned with OR, to the extent that it motivates him to continually revert edits by anyone else, he would take pains to point out what the alleged OR is. Instead, user has chosen to edit war. The only element of which one can think is his assertion regarding the Flag of Libya, however, it is noted that a reference has been inserted for this, so user's motivation seems purely negative.
- 5) False accusations of sock puppetry. A user making use of a sock puppet is a serious offence, not merely because of the damaging effect that it can have on the editing process, but because of the breach of trust between that particular user and the rest of the Wikipedia community. By the same taken, accusing a user of making use of a sock puppet is an extremely serious charge, and should never be made lightly, or as a means of winning an edit war. Wikipedia editing rules prohibit a single user from making use of different accounts in order to get around things like the 3RR, and win edit wars. However, they do not prohibit several users who share the same view on the merits of particular edits to seek to protect those edits from disruptive users. Indeed, a collaborative approach to editing is one of the hallmarks of the Wikipedia process (when it is abided by). Rather than any sock puppetry, you will find that this is exactly what has happened in this instance. Perhaps if we check the geographical locations of all IP addresses from which edits to the Pan-Arab colors page have been edited, we may gather sufficient evidence to determine that it is impossible for any sock puppetry to have occurred (unless we intend to introduce a new rule that precludes more than one user editing from a single population centre, district, or neighbourhood. One suspects that Omar-Toons (the user in question) has already performed such an IP address check, and found no evidence to support his claims, which is why he has offered no evidence whatsoever.
- In addition to an absolute absence of evidence, Omar-Toons has failed to offer an explanation of what purpose sock puppetry would serve in this instance. As far as a I can see, at no time has a single user (other than Omar-Toons himself) been close to any kind of violation of the Wikipedia rules in his or her own right that would require the use of a forbidden sock puppet. Again, the lack of explanation and evidence from Omar-Toons speaks volumes about the true intent of his accusations.
- 6) Edit warring. At a certain point in a dispute between several users, it becomes obvious to everyone operating in good faith that seeking an end to the dispute through the Talk page is essential. Aside from (at a late stage) the two peripheral issues already noted, Omar-Toons has refused to use the Talk page for this purpose, choosing instead to pursue an ill-tempered edit war. If genuine cooperation with other users was his desire, he simply would not have conducted himself in this fashion.
- I am entirely confident that if one compares the different edits on the page, Omar-Toons' disruptive, bad faith misconduct shall be evident to all. Indeed, having briefly examined his behaviour on other pages, it seems that Omar-Toons has a habit of edit warring, and attempting to wear out other users through his consistent, disruptive edits. Moreover, if one compares the intro text of the last edit to intro text of Omar-Toons' edits, the difference in the quality of English, and in the way that the subject matter is discussed will also be obvious.
- I ask for Omar-Toons to be sanctioned for the misconduct mentioned above, and for the page (as of the most recent non-Omar-Toons edit) to be protected.
- Thank you. 2.28.240.160 (talk) 10:19, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Most recently he has been using IPs out of London (where he lives) to continually add non-notable material about himself and send messages to friends (eg. [40]) Talk page engagement are met with silence.[41] A semi-protection will force him to use accounts (probably SPAs, which can be re-evaluated later if needed).

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – You can see edit warring by wasifwasif with me and another editor. Once S/he copied from older version and overwrote all intermediate edits. He has been trying to insert one statement regarding Perumal from a story book and a blog and another book that does not have any isbn number or known publisher. I presented him contradictory info from a reliable academic source. He ignores that and inserts with another reference that probably took content from wikipedia like site itself (acknowledged in the book). He has reverted four times now I think. He has been quite uncivic on talk page also making accusation and wiki lawyering of taking to noticeboard, which both me and the other editor welcome.

Done @Arfæst Ealdwrítere: In this case pending changes would not have been appropriate as the only edits are socks. Also as Jackmcbarn said reviewers may not recognise the socks and there isn't really a good place which would be seen to place a notice. In any case I've deleted the page per WP:CSD#G5 and put an autoconfirmed salt on it.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism – In the case of the Ukraine conflict, an IP editor has been inserting unsourced figures on servicemen fatalities. When editors attempt to revert his edit he reinserts his unsourced numbers and insults fellow editors in the edit summary while doing so. In the case of the Iraq offensive article, the same editor pushes calling an event a claim, implying its unverified, even though it was confirmed by multiple independent sources. And same situation further as with the Ukraine article, editors revert him, he reverts back and insults them. I am arguing for a temporary protection of the articles at this time, but if he continues with the disruptive edits after the protection ends I will ask for a longer protection.

- There was no discussion initiated by the IP users on the talk page to change a result that has been there for a long time.

- The point of this request *was* to force the IPs to actually use the talk page, as they weren't particularly predisposed to discussion otherwise, in the hope that they have better arguments than this (the last edit to the talk page is by me more than a month ago). Locking the article in the version they were pushing certainly won't inspire them to suddenly stop ignoring the discussion. --illythr (talk) 00:06, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There hasn't been much disruption to the actual article. Any behavioural issues that have cropped up on the talk page are best addressed elsewhere, maybe WP:ANI or WP:AE. Also, saying "An article written by Shmuel Schnitzer ... portrays how much the secular media in Israel is guilty of Anti-Orthodox bias" is stating an opinion about Schnitzer's article in Wikipedia's voice, which we shouldn't really be doing.

Semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism – An IP editor has been inserting unsourced figures on servicemen fatalities. When editors attempt to revert his edit he reinserts his unsourced numbers and insults fellow editors in the edit summary while doing so. His been doing this for the last week or so. Some administrators tried to block him due to his hostile behavior, but he is evading his blocks due to his IP address changing every morning. I am arguing for a temporary protection of the article at this time, but if he continues with the disruptive edits after the protection ends I will ask for a longer protection. EkoGraf (talk) 15:30, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection was recently made for this page, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot I NotifyOnline 15:37, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
- The denial of protection was made on the basis that the IP editor was blocked due to his behavior and the declining administrator thought there was no need for protection anymore. However, like I stated, the IP editor continued with his unsourced edits and verbal attacks the very next morning from another IP address. EkoGraf (talk) 16:23, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
- I got the new IP blocked at WP:AIV, but I still think protection is worthwhile. There is no indication that he will stop. RGloucester — ☎ 16:35, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Problems yet again with this article. Over the last couple years it has been pared down and tended to remove large amounts of dubious material from fan blogs and other inappropriate sources. As before it has become an edit war with both anonymous IPs and registered users engaging in some sort of inter-fan argument through the page (see the page history for details, including users calling each other out by username, etc.). Recent attempts to remove the offending/badly sourced material have been met with instant reversions from anon IPs and the aforementioned registered users. I would recommend at least 3 weeks of cool-down time with the article in its current state (the mentioned fan-blog sources removed until discussion can occur).
