Reason: Disruption from IPs...again. ‹hamster717🐉› (discuss anything!🐹✈️ • my contribs🌌🌠) 23:49, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Already protected by administrator Cullen328. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 01:30, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Matthew Crooks

Semi-protection: A few months have passed, and this article could benefit from allowing newer users to improve it. Disruption from semi-confirmed users is low-risk at this point. DarmaniLink (talk) 18:00, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected. As an Arbitration Enforcement action, this cannot be unprotected via a request here. See WP:AE for information on how to appeal. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 18:06, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects

Reason: The page was protected due to valid concerns on sockpuppetry. However, Articles for Creation by its very nature is designed for "any editor" to request articles (and by extension, redirects). I think there should be a warning on watching for sock behavior, but that's beyond the scope of this decrease request. @NinjaRobotPirate: added the page protection just a few hours ago as of writing this. LR.127 (talk) 18:16, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected. The protection is short-term, expiring tomorrow. Short term semiprotection is appropriate to prevent disruption. We occasionally protect article talk pages for the same reason, which are also intended for "any editor". ~Anachronist (talk) 18:30, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Somali Civil War

Permanent extended-confirmed protection Contentious topic, fits well under WP:CT/HORN. Back and forth edit warring stretching back to multiple months. Previous temporary extended-confirmed protections have expired and edit warring has resumed since then. Ecrusized (talk) 14:40, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ecrusized, YOU started this edit war, and you are not discussing with ANYONE to resolve it. I don't know how else i can tell you to come up with conensus with me, @Replayerr, or anyone else, I have went on your talk page to try to discuss this with you, Please answer!!! Zabezt (talk) 18:30, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:39, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rizwan Ahmed (civil servant)

Reason: This article has faced ongoing disruptions by IP users for several months. They repeatedly damage the infobox template and add duplicate parameters. Since there are no significant daily updates needed for this person's life, using edit requests would be a more efficient solution for everyone involved. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 13:54, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please enforce WP:CT/IPA. IanDBeacon (talk) 02:18, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jason Momoa

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Previous protection applied 29 June for 3 months. The day after it expired (today), "Nicolle A. Morea" began adding her "marriage" back. Please apply at least another 3 months, if not longer; apparently the vandal has a long attention span. Schazjmd (talk) 20:28, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

January 6 United States Capitol attack

Reason: Because it needs updating as the evidence now shows this was a directed government plan and President Trump and his supporters did NOT intend and insurrection but were led on by government operatives to enter the capitol building. Its all on video and government records as is the General Milley's testimony that the President requested National Guard help well in advance of 6 Jan. 2605:59C8:4300:1308:2076:C89B:A86F:2B43 (talk) 20:17, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even if this were true (it's not), why would that merit unprotection? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 04:55, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Declined. This request demonstrates clearly why the talk page is semiprotected. Edit requests can be made at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit, in the format "change X to Y" with reliable sources cited. Any other kind of edit request will be rejected. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:26, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Twinkle seems to be drunk, why did it send it to the decrease protection section??? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 03:22, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ABG No idea, but there's no issue manually moving the request over to RPPI, as I've just done. Thanks for helping keep this place sane. :) Zinnober9 (talk) 03:42, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Already protected by administrator Acroterion. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 13:03, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Golden Retriever

Reason: Repeated vandalism. I requested a downgrade previously as the article had semi-protection since it had been protected since 2011 and such long protection seemed excessive for the article. It seems I was unfortunately proven wrong. A handful of productive IP edits have come but the majority of recent edits are vandalism (or reversion of vandalism) Traumnovelle (talk) 07:55, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotection: Disruptive edits, and all edits in general actually, are extremely sparse. The 2 most recent disruptive edit were on 6 June and 15 May. Before then would be 29 Feb and 25 Jan. I think the sparse amount of vandalism allows unprotection. TheWikiToby (talk) 19:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't contact the protecting admin btw (@Samsara) since they've been inactive since 2021. TheWikiToby (talk) 19:28, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's because it's getting caught in the edit filter. The most recent attempts were in August, and they tried three times in under a minute. The vandalism is not "extremely sparse" just because the filters might be catching some of it. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 05:02, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not unprotected. Even if we don't count what was blocked by the filter, there have been ten reverts of problematic edits in the last year, and that's too many for me to be comfortable unprotecting, especially given how unintrusive pending-changes is.

Allan Lichtman

Reason: A month or so ago we had a problem where Allan Lichtman told his followers to go edit his pages to remove critical material. He has continued to agitate about Wikipedia and his followers have been reverting the pages in contravention to the talk pages again though I do not know if he said anything about it in the last week. I did my best to remove vandalism or content editing against the talk page consensus and redirect them there, where the issues were resolved months ago. I do not think the pages need full protection, but blocking unregistered users may help, as that seems to be the root of the problem on all "sides" (both critics and support). This is for both his main page and the The Keys to the White House page. As far as I can tell I got it back to where it was before someone started editing everything again but I will check. One of the editors has a user name matching the name of his wife. Caraturane (talk) 21:12, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize I flipped the pages, the edits are occurring on The Keys to the White House page today, but semi-protecting both is probably most practical given the apparent conflict of interest edits. Caraturane (talk) 21:19, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Declined but only so the bot will not flag this as "not done".

This is extremely disingenuous, JJNito has been repeatedly trying to push a specific WP:POV, going so far as to entirely remove references to the party's fascist ideology. There is absolutely no reason to remove the content or their sources beyond whitewashing the party. This individual has been disruptively editing Syrian Social Nationalist Party for quite some time, and it's clear they're trying to seek to protect their version.

@Daniel Quinlan: [8], [9], [10] (this edit also disparages the Gurjar caste): The CASTE sanctions cover disruptive and dubious insertions and edits related to various caste groups in India. The same is happening here with various IP users (likely socks, as caste based sock disruption has severely increased on enwiki in recent years), using non-RS sources, inserting stuff related to Rajput, Gurjar [the latter derogatorily] into the lead/article which are also a violation of WP:ETHNICITY [see also WP:CASTEID].

Reason: Temporary semi-protection: persistent disruptive editing, uncivil behavior from someone creating multiple accounts and IPs. User:Qalandar303 was blocked indefinitely, IP range 2001:8003:ED8F:EB00:0:0:0:0/64 was blocked for 3 months, and User:CarnelianSun108 was blocked in this sockpuppet investigation. About 24 hours later 101.188.188.160 and the newly created User:John Eternity started making the same edits. I recommend a 1 or 3 month semi-protection.

Thanks for this, @Untamed1910. Pinging Alexeyevitch, Canterbury Tail, Knitsey, Pickersgill-Cunliffe, Frost, ScottishFinnishRadish, Mackensen: all of you were among those reverting that IP. They created 19 sections over the course of three hours with the same off-topic accusation against an editor. Next time, if you've got the tools, please semi the noticeboard. If you don't, please don't wait until it's already been reverted a dozen times before posting here. (RFPP requests are very easy in Twinkle, which you can enable in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets if you haven't already.)
Also, thank you for keeping an eye on Wikipedia. Most of these were reverted within a minute or even less, and I really appreciate it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:39, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just don't know if protection works in this case. I can certainly ask for protection as soon as they start, but they just move on to another noticeboard.

2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon

I would like to request that a map of ground controlled by Israel/Lebanon/Hezbollah be added to the article. I know that the invasion has only just begun and that there may be more time needed for reliable data, but we should look for whatever information we have at the moment and see if we can add this to give readers a better understanding of how the invasion is unfolding. LordOfWalruses (talk) 00:59, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done This board is for requests for specific edits (ie: change text, add text, remove text, add/remove existing image), not to request someone actually create content to be included. As you don't have an actual map to request to be included, there isn't anything we can do. I would also note that maps for rapidly developing situations are typically not done anyway, as they are out of date as fast as they are created, plus they are often contentious, meaning many editors would disagree with inclusion, so not something we can just pop in without a full discussion on the article talk page.

Whigfield

Reason: Shnfox and/or 81.106.150.115 are censoring this page. They have removed information that is important to be featured in the main section of the article. He/she did it from a fan's point of view, perceiving this information as negative, using as argument that "This has never been proven or spoken about by either sannie or ann lee and is just gossip mongering." However, the added paragraph is no gossip, but information provided by authorised sources. There is no rule that states that information must be validated by the artists themselves. If the the artist had denied or confirmed this, that would, obviously, be included, but Carlson have not said anything. Although Ann Lee has not outright confirmed it either, her performances of the same song are worthy of remark. Therefore, Shnfox's reasoning for censoring is void.

There are three facts that I added to the article after reviewing the sources carefully. Firstly, Ann Lee's producer Mauro Farina literally said during an interview that "she lent her voice for Whigfield and it was a worldwide success." This interview is listed as source. Secondly, Carlson performed in Spain on February 2024 "Saturday Night" and her voice sounded completely different than the voice in the original recording. This performance was aired live on TV (Televisión Canaria) and is also listed as source. Thirdly, the live performances of "Saturday Night" by Ann Lee, also available, have a voice that is very similar to the one that is featured in Whigfield's recordings.

I request this article to be protected from the removal of this information (955), since articles should not be censored by fans that perceive some information as negative. In this case, the removal of information should be checked by experienced Wikipedia users or administrators, so the article remains objective and accurate and not just eulogistic, biased and fully controlled by a fan or artist.

Neolithodes

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Extreme and sustained vandalism. This has lasted over a period of at least six months. My last request to get this genus article and species articles of Neolithodes protected resulted in an account or two being blocked, but the same person has since been sockpuppeting incessantly over months and months trying to vandalize these articles only being reverted by myself and Mitch Ames. Neither blocks of these accounts nor temporary semi-protection can resolve this due to the user's persistence; indefinite is unfortunately the only way. Requesting this for right now on just 'Neolithodes', but may request it on various species of Neolithodes (and other lithodids, which they've also persistently vandalized) in the future. Also requesting that 143.44.169.184, Dl. DRJAJAL, and Michael 281818 be blocked as obvious sockpuppets of Michael2176. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 20:58, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024–25 Borussia Dortmund season

Reason: Several IP's (all from the same place) have been removing players from the squad section over and over again, without ever explaining their edits, even though these players are part of Dortmund's squad for the season (see the source above the squad list). I already requested protection before, the IP's had been blocked from editing after that, but now a fourth IP (again from the same location) popped up and kept removing these same players without further comment.

2025 Formula One World Championship

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This is now the third time we're requesting page protection. The article is continuously a target for the addition of unsourced information to the entry list. Once again, I ask for pending changes protection, until the end of the current F1 season on 8 December. I do not see any reason why this request would again be ignored, past protections have lasted for a couple weeks only for vandalism to immediately resume. This is not a productive use of editors' times to constantly be reverting garbage edits from IPs and new users and then coming back here to keep asking for the same thing that would prevent this. 5225C (talk • contributions) 07:51, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikipedia Administrators, I am writing to respectfully request the unprotection of the article titled "Marehan." I understand that this page is currently protected to prevent vandalism, but I believe that unprotecting it, or at least reducing the level of protection, would allow for valuable contributions from knowledgeable editors like myself and others. I am particularly interested in making well-researched edits and updates to enhance the quality and accuracy of the information on this page. I am aware of Wikipedia's guidelines and policies and will ensure that my contributions comply with the platform's standards. Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to contributing to the improvement of this article.

Remsense is continuously putting biased pov unsourced nonsense into this article.

Thank you128.90.165.16 (talk) 07:40, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome! I shouldn't have to justify content issues here, but the sockpuppet has already been patiently told why their additions weren't accepted, and they have very little to do with POV, but structure, style and coherence. Remsense ‥ 论 07:41, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
STOP posting biased lies on this article Remsense, you did not provide any reference sources for your biased pov edits. I have provided numerous academic reference sources to the non-pov version, I did you a favor since you either uneducated in history or just being a vandal, You’re Welcome..!! 128.90.165.16 (talk) 07:46, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Someone else needs to deal with this, because I've already reacted more than I should have. Just put an "East Asians" top level section there outside where it should go over and over, whatever. I shouldn't've restored that content, I'll fess up. But you didn't communicate in response to me about what was actually wrong until now or respond to the things I pointed out were wrong. I'm not looking forward to the EW block I probably deserve for this, because I've really been trying to do better since my first one. But someone fix up those additions, please. Remsense ‥ 论 07:59, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Remsense, you need to stop posting biased POV edits that have no academic reference sources backing it up. Am I wrong to to say that? I have simply posted a NON-POV edit in accordance with Wikipedia policy guidelines about neutral points of view and supported everything with academic reference sources unlike you who keeps posting biased pov edits with NO REFERENCES to support it. You should be thanking me for doing you a favor and keeping this article historically accurate and supported by academic reference sources. Thanks 128.90.165.16 (talk) 08:04, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Like I said, I realize it was wrong and contributed to you feeling you had to do what you did wrong. Together, we disrupted the article and I wish I had done better. How's that? Remsense ‥ 论 08:06, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Listen, I’m not ripping on you or disrespecting you in any way. I am just telling you that we need to keep this article historical accurate and factual backed up with academic reference sources and not just the biased pov opinions that you keep pushing.

To admins: I messed up here. The article is in a much better state content-wise and likely doesn't need protection. While the IP socked, they did so in response to my careless reverting in response to other issues I saw first. Sorry to all about this. Remsense ‥ 论 08:19, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:44, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. @SNUGGUMS: Please don't use this kind of edit summary. It starts off confrontational and focuses on the other editor instead of the content. Overall, it's bitey and it's no wonder the other editor made the same edit again. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:11, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what comes off as confrontational about pointing out inaccuracies or defiance of a hidden note that was meant to be followed. Nevertheless, this is far from the only IP who did such things, and leaving the page unprotected isn't helping matters. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 03:09, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SNUGGUMS: Starting a summary with a word like "False" reads as an attempt to shut down any discussion. Combined with "you shouldn't have ignored" and "fabricated claims", the tone feels accusatory and confrontational. These types of edit summaries are more likely to escalate disagreements (which happened) than result in a civil discussion.
By the way, I wonder whether adding a link to a talk page discussion might help with that inline comment.
As to protecting the page, only one IP editor has edited the article in the last 16 days. One person making the same edit twice isn't sufficient justification to protect an article, especially in these circumstances. The protection policy discusses the general principles involved in its lead and first section. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:57, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zionism

"Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible." This is an opinion and interpretation of Zionism. You cannot present this in the opening page about Zionism since it is not one of the main aspects of Zionism at all, and not a universal aspect of Zionism and most certainly was not a priority in Zionist ideology. It was an aspiration of several factions of Zionism and was acted upon during the 1947-1949 civil war in Palestine. In her work, Manna, Adel (2022), argues for this interpretation because during the war "the principal objective of the Zionist leadership to keep as few Arabs as possible in the Jewish state" (p.2) and "in the 1948 war, when it became clear that the objective that enjoyed the unanimous support of Zionists of all inclinations was to establish a Jewish state with the smallest possible number of Palestinians" (p.4). These were war objectives and not key tenets of Zionism. Mana then goes above and beyond and claims: "The Zionists had two cherished objectives: fewer Arabs in the country and more land in the hands of the settlers" (p.33). First, this is also a war objective and not an ideological objective. You can also say the same about the other side "The Arab countries had two cherished objectives: fewer Jews in the country and more land in the hands of Arabs". While both are true, they were not a key tenet in their ideology (and I would argue that Arabs made clear they wished the land to be Jew-free more than the Jews wanted it to be Arab-free, they just couldn't act upon it because of military inferiority). Furthermore, this statement was never proven, but simply given as a fact and quoted here on Wikipedia. The Zionists main objective was to secure safe borders regardless and prevent Arab countries from occupying any land that was part of the British Mandate for Palestine. In their aim to do so, the most strategic move, was to occupy as much land and depopulate it from the civilian population that was hostile to the Jews and supportive of the Arab countries. This is not an opinion, this is a fact of war and you don't need to be a military strategist to understand the logic in that. I would suggest that you simply write "Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine". The rest of the sentence is Mana's own beliefs and thoughts and is highly disputable and a personal slander for most Zionists. You cannot write this on Wikipedia which should be a neutral ground. You can move that part to a sub-chapter and write "Many scholars today believe that Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible". This means that it is not a neutral fact and is open for debate! But if you honor your own neutrality, as you write in the Page title "Wikipedia:Neutral point of view" (All encyclopedic content on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV), which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias), then take that sentence down from the opening page and most certainly don't write it as a fact, because it isn't a fact, it isn't neutral and it is most certainly not bias.

2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon

I want to request to change the article name because clearly Israel didn't invade the whole Lebanon and it's not it intention.

Reason: lots of ip vandalism with making it "were" vs "are an inactive" 45BearsFan (talk) 16:41, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @45BearsFan: Please read vandalism because it's not vandalism. While we will protect articles having issues with unsourced or poorly-sourced edits, it would help if the edit summaries in the article were clearer about the reasons for reversions, restorations of content, etc. That's to help both newcomers and anyone reviewing the history. A summary like bringing this back is not ideal. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 17:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: The Wikipedia page for Ratan Tata has recently been subjected to frequent vandalism by new and inexperienced users.

@Daniel Quinlan: It is this one. It is a bit stale but only because it is impossible to keep up with its consistent but sporadic appearances. More recent examples include this and this. Though this range is different, it is all coming from the same location and with the same behavior.

Administrator, I didn't write anything bad, read it. This is the standard option of user Griborski, I reviewed his edits and he did it several times to protect the page because he doesn't like what he writes. And that no one can edit, so that he makes his own version when the page is protected and I can't edit it, without valid sources. Please see my edits. I didn't write anything bad. Those are his tricks, he thinks if he has an account he can do whatever he wants. He has no answer for this, he needs to provide the source of what I told him. Look at my edits and decide.

Trade Republic

Reason: Hello fellow editors,

I am submitting a request for an increase in page protection for the Trade Republic Wikipedia page, due to a growing issue of vandalism that is part of a larger fraud operation. Fraudsters are repeatedly adding false information, such as fake personnel and entities, in order to impersonate the official company and scam unsuspecting customers. This has led to hundreds of people falling victim to these scams, believing they are interacting with the legitimate Trade Republic bank when they are, in fact, transferring money to fraudsters.

One of the fraudulent websites involved in this scam is hxxps://cfd[.]traderepublicatrading[.]com, which impersonates Trade Republic using the fake entity 'Trade Republica' that scammers add to the page. The false information added to Wikipedia is being leveraged by these scammers to lend credibility to their operations, causing significant financial harm to users who trust the content on Wikipedia.

Given the seriousness and the real-world impact of these malicious edits, I believe higher protection is necessary to prevent further abuse. We have had hundreds of cases of individuals falling victim to this scam, and extended protection would go a long way in ensuring the integrity of the page and protecting the public from being misled.

I hope the community and administrators can consider this request for longer-term protection to safeguard both the page and its users.

Thank you for your attention to this serious issue, Secbot at Trade Republic (talk) 13:39, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vyond

Reason: War editing due to "Legacy" section, users stopped to add "Grounded Videos" on Legacy section, despite this, there are a real problem, some users continue to add text revealing Caillou with these next sources : [1][2][3].

An example, if I show my "Wrapper Offline" series at Stade Le Gallo (AC Boulogne-Billancourt) and they filmed an episode of my series and upload it on YouTube, posted it on Facebook or make an article on their website (see here), these sources are reliable? IMO, YouTube is not reliable, is Facebook, Twitter, Instragram and ACBB Foot website are reliable? Do we need reliable sources like Le Parisien, BFM, Sky News, CNN, BBC or other French and especially English real sources to add "Grounded Videos" on Legacy section?

IMO, if this war editing don't stop, unless the users find a consensus on the discussion page (see talk), the best is or protect the page or use a filter. Thanks. Manchesterunited1234 (talk) 14:01, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sana Sayyad, Adrija Roy and Baseer Ali

Confirmed users protection: An IP user is persistently thinking Wikipedia to be a fanpage of actor Baseer Ali and editing these 3 pages in same way from multiple IP addresses. Like all confirmed reliable sources mentions Sana and Adrija being casted opposite actor Paras Kalnawat just like another lead of show Shraddha Arya is being mentioned casted opposite all 3 actors who played Karan. Similarly they increase length of article by copying things from career section to info section by doubling same sources too. I request confirmed user access on these 3 pages for few days to stop further efit warring. Pri2000 (talk) 16:02, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Persistent vandalism by anonymous IP Surayeproject3 (talk) 14:04, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Correcting my reasoning to:
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing[54] - IP user continuously switches the article between Aramean and Assyrian, while the sources use the name "Assyrian" and linked articles use Assyrian as well Surayeproject3 (talk) 14:10, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Surayeproject3, no need to link "disruptive editing"--we know what it is. You reverted that IP twice; if you had warned them each time, I could simply block them right now. Drmies (talk) 15:57, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Salim Yusuf

Reason: Edit war, inaccurate portrayal of evidence based medical research 130.113.151.234 (talk) 22:30, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an accurate portrayal of events. The IP user geolocates to where the subject works and has a likely conflict of interest. There is consensus at BLPN that the content in the article is not libellous as the IP claims and that the disputes regarding claims Yusuf has made regarding cardiovascular risks of salt and saturated fat are valid to include: Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Salim_Yusuf. I would support semi-protection of the article to prevent disruption by this IP user. Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – An unregistered user who previously vandalized the article for Stitch! to add false information about a non-existent crossover between that TV series and Dragon Tales (among other unrelated IPs such as Teletubbies) has since shifted their efforts to the latter show's article after Stitch! indefinite semi-protected status (due to their years long history adding such misinformation).

Template:Country data Maldives

Hello, I'm requesting to make some edits on Template:Country data Maldives. In the |link alias-air force=, You should change because it has a page now "MNDF Air Corps", Note: Do not add "Maldives Maldives Air Corps" because per https://mndf.gov.mv/mndf/en/org-structure.php?cmd=air-corps, the official name is "MNDF Air Corps", in that case you should change to link alias-air force = MNDF Air Corps. Also you should change link alias-marines = MNDF Marine Corps|Maldives Marine Corps to link alias-marines = MNDF Marine Corps because its official name is MNDF Marine Corps, not Maldives Marine Corps. And then link alias-coast guard = Maldivian Coast Guard should be changed to link alias-coast guard = MNDF Coast Guard, the same reason. Thanks.

Kushwaha (surname)

Reason: I am requesting semi-protection for the Wikipedia page on the Kushwaha (surname) due to ongoing disruptive edits and vandalism. Despite the presence of reliable sources to verify the content, certain users continue to remove essential information without providing valid reasons or citations.

Reasons for Protection:

1. Persistent Vandalism: The page has been subject to repeated edits that remove verified information, disrupting the integrity of the content.

2. Importance of Content: The information on this page is crucial for understanding the Kushwaha surname, its origins, and cultural significance. The removal of this content undermines the educational value of the article.

3. Available Sources: There are numerous reliable sources available that support the content currently on the page. These sources can be referenced to validate the information and demonstrate its importance.

4. Community Consensus: Protecting the page would help maintain a stable and accurate representation of the Kushwaha surname, reflecting the consensus of knowledgeable contributors.

5. Encouraging Constructive Editing: Semi-protection would allow only registered editors to contribute, helping to foster a more constructive editing environment.

I believe that semi-protecting this page will help preserve the integrity of the information and ensure that it remains a valuable resource for readers seeking to learn about the Kushwaha surname.

Thank you for considering this request.

Those monitoring this request page are not involved with that article, and are not going to enter into debates or discussion. Requests made on this page must be complete and actionable.

Anachronist, i want to add information not change

I want to add the yemani casualties to the first template under or with the casualties of lebanon and syria because they were killed by Israel as resulted from this conflict. The sources are here source 14 killed in july attack, source of six killed in September attack. If u can't add this information could you at least put it in the talk page.--70.26.36.11 (talk) 14:29, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier you said 20 killed in Yemen? Are you getting this by adding 14+6? That's called WP:SYNTHESIS, which isn't allowed, because no source actually says 20 were killed. Both sources are dated the same day, July 21. And they contradict each other. The first one said the death toll "rises" to 14, meaning that is the total. We can't work with contradictory sources, but I have mentioned this discussion on the article's talk page. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:15, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
sorry i fixed the source so now it's not contradicting.

if you look at 2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon article that's exactly what happened in the Lebanese army casualties it's stated 4 in 2 sources for each incident. --70.26.36.11 (talk) 21:09, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight

In the second paragraph it states that "The desire to prevent the collapse of the Palestinians and to avoid more refugees were some of the reasons for the entry of the Arab League into the country, which began the 1948 Arab–Israeli War." It is absurd to characterize the invasion by the Arab league into Israel, which triggered the War of Independence as an "entry". The words "entry of" should be changed to "invasion by" which is supported by the source text and just about every other paper on the Israeli War of Independance. Apndrew (talk) 01:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Persistent IP vandalism over the past few months (see here, here, here, and here, among others).

This article is already previously semi-protected in 2021 with a 3 month duration, and in 2023 with a 1 year duration, but disruptive edits continue after the expiry of the latter.

This article is very prominent on popular media due to the nature of the object, and has a high level of visibility among astronomy articles, with 41,000 views in the past 30 days. I would like to kindly ask for a longer duration semi-protection. SkyFlubbler (talk) 10:26, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Race (human categorization)

Reason: Long term abuse (WP:LTA and WP:EVADE) from a blocked sock-puppet Mikemikev who has been using dozens of accounts going back over 12 years to leave often abusive and disruptive messages on the talk-page. His most recent account has been blocked (check the SPI [60]) but this user creates a new account every few months and uses the talk-page again. Examples of previous blocked socks exclusively using the talk-page to attack other users and cause disruption: Richard Calthrope, Bogestra Bob, Verena Boddenberg, Alan B. Samuels, Cheesecake Denier, Badger Farmer, Redundant Farmhand, Pant Wrangler, Beet Farmer, Retired Farmer, Mbutu Collins, Essentially Dave, Von Clown, David Smyth5, Rupert the Frog, Dave Davidson, Peasant in Suit, BanjoBruce.

This is a form of long-term abuse that has been happening for over 12 years. I believe there should be stronger protection. Psychologist Guy (talk) 23:03, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just piping up to say I strongly support this request, and I imagine that many or most of those who watch the page will agree. This talk page is an especially frequent target for time-wasting LTAs such as Mikemikev, as well as soapbox diatribes by IPs. The same thing was done over at Talk:Race and intelligence and the tenor of the conversation improved immediately. Generalrelative (talk) 23:13, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dennis Brown: You semi-protected Talk:Race and intelligence in December 2021. Do you think protection is required at Talk:Race (human categorization)? I support that but would like another opinion. If you agree, please protect. Johnuniq (talk) 08:48, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've not been very active lately, although I do try to log on and follow up on requests like this. After reviewing the logs and considering the topic, it is my opinion that the talk page should be indef semi-protected. There are certain topics that simply attract a type of bias that isn't seasonal, and will likely outlive us all, and this article seems to have been abused enough, and it overlaps Race and intelligence enough to justify the protection. From my perspective, we owe it to the editors to provide a reasonable environment to improve the articles. Rarely is this type of protection uses, for good reason, but we shouldn't be afraid to use the tools when the benefit to everyone is many times greater than the inconvenience to a few. Anyone that has a sincere desire to participate in either article only has to make a simple request for edit, or make a few edits and wait 4 days. This is a low bar, and I don't see how this minor limitation will hurt the reader, who is our primary concern. Because I'm less active, I would prefer a more active admin protect, but I will if others are not comfortable doing so. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 11:46, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Christopher Columbus

Reason: Disrupitve editing: A study by the University of Granada has apparently revealed that Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew and not a Genoese.

Reason: Requesting temporary page protection to maintain stability while we build consensus on the talk page.

Significant changes were made despite open discussions with no consensus, introducing new sources and altering the article’s scope.

Creation of Regional War Page

I propose the creation of a new page for an "Israeli Regional Conflict." I believe the conflict has expanded to the point where engagements with Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Iran means that the situation cannot be fully expressed in isolated pages.

Shawarma

Reason: Good evening, I'm ShawarmaFan07, very recently, I have been witnessing several edit-warring on and off due to the following things; neither of which are ethical. There had been removals of Israel's style of cooking that dish, and this is not appropriate to transfer the Israel-Palestine conflict online as it is not necessary and promotes racism. Furthermore, there had been arguments to whether or not shawarma is just an Arab dish or generally Middle Eastern; with mentions of Israel, Turkey and Georgia, it is appropriate to say that it is a general Middle Eastern food, nevertheless, there are edits that continue to revert back into calling the dish "Arab". I also suspect that this editing conflict will continue. Using the talk page to gain consensus did not help as I had no response for the past several minutes, but I have been accused of inappropriately edit warring, despite revert back to the correct edits of how shawarma is a general Middle Eastern dish (again, due to Israel and Turkey consuming it). So I suggest that there should be protection for this sub to prevent further conflicts. Of course, in general, using Wikipedia for any personal attack is not appropriate. Any of your suggestions and actions will be great. Thank you! ShawarmaFan07 (talk) 20:02, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. I realize many of the edits are disruptive, but people need to be able to make edit requests and many of the edits from non-autoconfirmed editors are not vandalism. Also, "restated arguments" is not a good reason to protect a talk page, especially for an article that is protected and edited frequently. Finally, some discussions on election day may be easier to conduct on state-specific articles. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 16:50, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"I'm supporting your request so that De Wikischim will prevented from editing the article while major discussions take place on talk": this is textbook WP:BATTLEGROUND. Why should only one editor show restraint from editing the article while major discussions take place on talk? –Austronesier (talk) 12:05, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Austronesier: That's the question exactly: why should only one editor show restraint from editing the article while major discussions take place on talk, while another should not. Throughout the past days, while discussions were taking place, both you, me, and De Wikischim have still been editing the article.
I don't like protected articles, they obstruct and delay improvements, but what I dislike even more are discussions on talk pages where everybody is requesting the article to be left alone while discussions take place, with nobody actually doing that. All participants, myself included, but you yourself as well, have done this. A temporary protection of the page would force all participants, to focus on forming a properly sourced consensus on talk, without any distractions, over hastily editing provocations in the article while discussions take place.
If it was just you and me discussing the article, I would not think this would be necessary. In fact, I firmly believe it would have never would have gone as far as it has, but this hasn't been the case. Temporarily protecting the page takes some pressure off and forces participants, all of them, to focus on the long term and give users the time to truly evaluate proposals.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Binksternet (talk) 02:23, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Semi-protection would advantage your position over the IP's. The contentious NPR source does seem to contain a reference to "angry" ... Sdrqaz (talk) 02:52, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Binksternet is the one here that is currently in need of a block for a clear violation of 3RR. He is clearly displaying some kind of petulance toward people who can't be bothered to register an account and choose to IP edit. In my case at great risk to my own sanity because I don't see the point of registering due to the persistence and prevalence of people throwing their weight around even though the IP may be right. Stress the word MAY because none of us are ever really 100% right on anything. Science, in this case political science, doesn't work that way either.
I should also thank Binksternet for not notifying me of this request, which is clearly also bad faith. --27.96.194.9 (talk) 03:02, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
1) Unlike ANEW, here there is no requirement that any other party be notified of the request as the requests concern the page, not the user (Yes, we may sometimes choose to block a user or users rather than protect a page. But that's less likely in response to a report here than it is at ANEW).
2) Binksternet did not violate 3RR as, following his third revert in 24 hours, he came here to make this report.
3) You are correct that the word "angry" does appear once in the NPR story. But the place to work this out is on the talk page, not in edit summaries. Daniel Case (talk) 03:15, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Further that I am using it in the context per the page. If there is a significant issue to discuss I'd be happy to do so. The thing is, wp:bold applies here that I would either be brave (or stupid as the full saying goes) to edit here.

Battle of Kursk

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent edit warring by IPs without taking concerns to talk page. Random IPs keep arguing about casualty numbers, ignoring the well cited evidence for such numbers, and reverting or changing the numbers without actual reason. Another editor said to take concerns to talk page, and yet, they changed the infobox yet again without any input into the talk page. An editor back on September 30th also fixed a mess up of well cited content by IPs,[74] yet they then just changed it again on faulty logic that they keep citing but is not even true regarding what they're using as evidence. Before that editor fixed it, another editor reverted the changes by IPs and noted it as unnecessary,[75] and continue to not cite sources despite all the cited evidence going against their opinions. This is the second or third time that protection has to be requested for the page. The IPs ignore the citations by scholars including Frieser et al, and Töppel. As a result of IPs not discussing at all, I have entered a new topic in the talk page for discussion as well. As of October 14, 2025, IPs are still changing what is agreed upon by editors.[76] Reaper1945 (talk) 14:15, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I kindly request the reinstatement of the content in the section "Generalized Formulation of the Higher Orders of Dispersion – Lah-Laguerre Optics" and a temporary protection from editing for at least one month.

F. E. Smith, 1st Earl of Birkenhead

Reason: An IP editor keeps deleting a fact that is backed up by a cite to the Dictionary of National Biography.

Mr Serjeant Buzfuz, I'm not sure PC protection will actually resolve this issue but that's the only level of protection that seems to be applicable given this specific set of circumstances (static IP editor making a slow, but annoyingly regular, series of edits that are probably vandalism but, if they were to communicate more fully, might be a case of a content dispute). If the cadence of the disruption increases to the point that it is too much for the PC patrollers to handle, or they continue after the expiration of protection, you may want to report it to WP:AIV.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The infrequency with which this vandalism occurs makes protection impossible. By my count, it appears to occur once every 8-10 months. To abate even one instance of vandalism, therefore, we'd have to apply something like 12 months of page protection. Preventing non-autoconfirmed users from contributing to these articles for months or years just to stop the possibility that an IP editor might vandalize an article once or twice in that time would be inconsistent with our ethos. However, if the cadence of vandalism increases, please do come back to request protection again as a different calculus might then apply. Chetsford (talk) 19:23, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah.

Yahya Sinwar

Change infobox location of death.

Old: "| death_place = Rafah, Gaza Strip, Palestine"

New: "| death_place = Rafah, Gaza Strip"

This would reflect the convention for other similar pages for recently assassinated Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip, such as Ayman Nofal, Jamila Abdallah Taha al-Shanti, Marwan Issa etc. The status of Gaza Strip as part of the State of Palestine, or as part of the autonomous Palestinian Territories (with the State of Palestine not recognized by most Western or OECD countries), is contentious (it does have limited observer state status in the UN). See International recognition of the State of Palestine. Neutral Editor 645 (talk) 17:40, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Neil Hirsch

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing by disgruntled family members who do not like the fact that Neil remarried. User: Snowman304 (Neils nephew) and Jakezbrown (his Great nephew) repeatedly remove accurate, well-sourced information about Neils life and his widow. Despite multiple attempts to restore the correct information, the user continues to delete it. They are obsessed with this and constantly make false edits and will not allow others to edit it, He died on June 24, 2021 and they last edited it as recently as October 5, 2024. Neil and his nephew, Andy, aka "Snowman304" had a contentious relationship. Andy's son, Jakezbrown aka, "Jakezbrown" were mad that they did not get more of an inheritance. PLEASE consider blocking these "editors, Snowman304 and Jakezbrown" from constantly vandalizing Neils page and memory. PLEASE provide semi-protection to stop these users, unregistered or new users from editing the page. THANK YOU 174.176.149.36 (talk) 01:52, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing of Droop quota, instant-runoff voting, single transferable vote, counting single transferable votes, and electoral quota by a series of IPs. IPs do not belong to a single range that could be excluded by a range block, but all appear to be the same person. IP often introduces mistakes, typos, unsourced content, confusing or unclear wording that breaks up the flow of the text, and external links into the body of the article (prohibited by MOS). – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 16:47, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a formal close on my part, but ... have you tried talking with them about this? I agree that, since at least some of the IPs resolve to the same area of Alberta, and the writing style seems the same, it's the same user on different IPs (probably the school connection and the home connection). On Talk:Droop quota they've opened up two sections that might be relevant and to which no one has responded (and on Counting single transferable votes I see no sign of disruption as the article hasn't been edited much in the last two months). Nothing you wrote, and nothing I saw, indicates that the user is editing in anything but good faith. Yes, cleaning up after them is a pain but ... when you don't let them know they're doing the right things the wrong way, don't expect them to stop doing it that way. Daniel Case (talk) 04:48, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: they seem to have opened 2 new sections yesterday, but I've already repeatedly explained the dispute elsewhere, in addition to providing citations and such; it's a bit of a Wikipedia:ICANTHEARYOU case where they've repeatedly reopened the same handful of arguments over and over on different talk pages. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 18:49, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zionism

Reason: The page has been overrun by editors with very specific political objectives. For instance, the abstract of this article in Google now shows "Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible" which is not an accurate or correct representation of the movement by people who have held or currently hold it. Rather, this edit is being used on Wikipedia by bad actors intending to promote antisemitism and to disparage both the Jewish people and the State of Israel - it uses as its citation an biased source promoting what can only be considered opinion, as the definition cited is by no means authoritative and is not used by adherents. The page should be protected, the copious edits being made nearly minutely reverted, and reviewed and rewritten as necessary by senior editors. Adrade (talk) 02:34, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined: the page is already under ECP as part of the Arab-Israeli conflict contentious topic and no compelling argument for full protection has been made here. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:04, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mykolas Majauskas

Reason: There is an extremely high level of Single Purpose Account (SPA) vandalism on the page. Discussion on the talk page hasn't helped, as the SPA keeps reverting any changes, manipulating sources, and clearly violating BLP policy. The article should be extended-protected at the very least, or user should be blocked from editing it. However, given the nature of their edits, I doubt they won't create a new account to continue editing the page. 美しい歌 (talk) 10:58, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Honestly both of you should be blocked for this, at least from the page, and if this resumes after the block I would suggest strongly that any other admin consider this. But since discussion is underway both on the talk page and at BLPN I feel it is best that we let that take its course.

Comment: Note that the user making this request had been previously been blocked for 31 hours for edit warring and 8RR on the same subject in what some editors suspect may be a case of whitewashing and COI as noted on their talk page and in the article in question, and that they have a sockpuppet account linked to them (User:AnuBisht21) that was used to edit the article and was the very reason why this article was protected in the first place. That the reason they claim is also not supported in talk also raises questions as to user's intentions.

Israel–Hamas war

The last few sentences of the second lead paragraph regarding assassinated Hamas leaders are too detailed for the lead. I don't believe including all of their names without reason is appropriate when the Infobox can convey a simpler understanding of their demise and state. Instead, figures of utmost relevance should be accounted for with reasons outside of their killings.

My suggestion is to change this:

In January 2024, Saleh al-Arouri, the deputy political chief of Hamas, was assassinated in Beirut, Lebanon. In July, Israel claimed to have killed military leader Mohammed Deif in an airstrike in al-Mawasi. In August, Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas was assassinated in Tehran, Iran. In October, Yahya Sinwar, the chief and preceding political leader of Hamas, was killed in a shootout in Rafah.

To this:

Throughout 2024, Israel has killed many of Hamas' political and military officials. Prominent figures killed by Israel include Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar, who have collectively served as political leaders for Hamas since 2007, and supposedly[citation for clarity] Mohammed Deif, who led Hamas' military branch, the Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades, since 2002.

This connects to Israel's goals described prior to this section, while establishing the impact of those killings pertaining to Hamas and Palestine as a whole. The readability of this is a bit wonky though, so if you have any better ideas, please let me know! Ecco2kstan (talk) 04:08, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Monkey King

I removed the words due to multiple reason.

  1. The statement "Lu Xun’s observed lack of evidence about the translation of the Ramayana is no true" is incorrect. The reference 12, an article by Xianlin Ji, clearly says that "It is plausible to say that Sun Wukong came through the South China Sea instead of coming directly from India."
  2. This whole paragraph is obviously unrelated to SunWuKong, especially when there is no evidence proving that it is inspired by Ramayana.
  3. This paragraph is clearly an introduction of Ramayana's influence in asia. It should be under the page Ramayana.

“However, recent research has suggested that Lu Xun’s observed lack of evidence about the translation of the Ramayana is not true.[12][13] The Indian literary scholar A. K. Ramanujan had written about the numerous versions of the Ramayana in India and around the world in his essay Three Hundred Ramayanas,[14] he looks at examples from Southeast Asia, and mentions how countries like Tibet, Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Java and Indonesia, all of these regions and countries have their native Ramayanas. He looks particularly at the Thai version of the Ramayana, the Ramakien, and the changes in narrative and characterisation. There is also the aspect and possibility of religious transmission of Hanuman through the Tibetan Buddhist and Khotanese traditions of the Ramayana, notably culminating through the Dai ethnic group and their version of Ramayana, known as the Lanka Xihe, or the ten heads of Lanka (referring to Ravana), scholars estimate that the Ramayana story might have reached the Dai people even before the spread of Buddhism, by the means of trade between India and China.[15]”

Zionism

The correct terms should be used! Zionism is a nationalistic movement. Zionists wanted to create a Jewish State in the land formerly known as Judea, the ancient homeland of the Jews (Hebrew: Eretz Yisraʾel, “the Land of Israel”); which at the time was ruled by a British Mandate. See Encyclopedia Britannica as a source. 2607:FEA8:565E:1000:DCA3:DB8A:B61C:5887 (talk) 18:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Israel–Hamas war infobox

Inform readers of the distinction between the dagger symbol and the cross symbol in the infobox.

Under "Commanders and leaders" in the infobox Yahya Sinwar has a dagger next to his name, but others such as Marwan Issa have a cross next to their name. The distinction between these symbols is not immediately clear to someone reading the article, I feel that this should be explicitly noted on the page.

@TheElysianVectorFields: That isn't the article page, that's the infobox template. I changed the target for you above.

That's why I have requested for protection of the page. W Dinuwara Binudith De Silva (talk) 04:55, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose(ish): I think that full protection of the page would be unproductive at best, and painfully inconvenient at worst. I think that semi-protection would work much better, as it'd mean no dodgy IP users could vandalize, nor any ultra-new editors. Maximalistic Editor (talk) 09:47, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: As to prevent IPs from editing such an important article; an IP user was spamming the article with pro-RCP (as for context, RCP is a pollster disowned by WP:RSP) edits, re-adding them about a dozen times. As to prevent that and other nasty things, can you semi-protect it? The talk should not be protected though. Maximalistic Editor (talk) 08:00, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Intelligence quotient

Long term abuse (WP:LTA and WP:EVADE) from several blocked sock-puppets, one of these is associated with the white nationalist Human Diversity Foundation, another is Mikemikev who uses IPs since his recent block. We had a similar problem at Talk:Race (human categorization) just over a week ago from the same group of socks and that article has now been protected with WP:SILVERLOCK [123]. I believe the same should be done for the talk-page for Intelligence quotient. This recent IP is block evasion from Mikemikev [124].

Another IP blocked [125] who left messages on the talk-page has been involved in harassment of Wikipedia editors. And the other IP is also a blocked sock [126] confirmed here. The new account leaving disruptive messages on the talk-page is obvious block evasion [127]. This is an issue that has been going on for a long-time. A scan through the editing history of the talk-pages reveals other block evasion, for example [128] [129] etc. Psychologist Guy (talk) 22:32, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Going further back this has actually been going on for years. Here are some of Mikemikev's other socks [130], [131] on the same talk-page. The talk-page is obviously a magnet to neo-Nazi trolls. Per WP:LTA I believe better protection is warranted. Psychologist Guy (talk) 22:44, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cesc Fàbregas

Reason: Page was given an indefinite protection in June 2014 when the subject agreed to move club, effective from July; there was disruptive editing jumping the gun. This is quite clearly not an ongoing issue. IPs can do well with updating things. The page was demoted from GA in 2019 due to lack of update and maintenance. Subject has gone from a high-profile player to an average manager, so risk of vandalism is decreased. Protecting admin has 50 edits in last two years.

Unprotection: The edits prompting protection were made in good faith after the subject complained about inaccuracies on the page. I've used the post as an WP:ABOUTSELF source, so it should be good now. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 04:09, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please consider this carefully. The primary source disagrees with itself, as noted even by Thebiguglyalien, while the secondary source that was usurped was quite clear. The clearly contentious name and birth dates need to be more thoroughly investigated and solidly sourced before the article contains them; I have removed them for the time being. Since the Facebook post is likely the source of the sudden attention, it is fair to assume more ill informed attempts will continue, at least for a while, and I suggest maintaining the protection until we have consensus and accuracy. Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 05:22, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question: @Ymblanter: I was about to protect this for a few days (possibly a week), but you got to it first. Just curious: why did you go with indefinite protection? The page has only previously had several pending changes protections, but it's been several years since the previous one. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:26, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Quinlan: I was indeed in doubt, since the article was protected for a month and then for a year between 2021 and 2022, so that the indefinite protection was in order in 2024. On the other hand, if I were a protecting administrator back in 2021, I would likely not escalate the second ever protection to a year. I have now lowered the protection to 10 days, let us see whether it would be enough, and if not, a long-term protection will be in order. Ymblanter (talk) 21:32, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: David Cameron has been protected indefinitely since 2010, so I don't see why Rishi Sunak shouldn't have been similarly protected indefinitely. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 21:10, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:NOPREEMPT, we generally only protect articles in response to active disruption (the sort-of exception would be articles about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where since ArbCom ruled that newer articles in that area are extended-confirmed restricted, many of us have felt it only makes sense to actually apply extended-confirmed protection to those articles indefinitely regardless of what is actually happening with the editing).

The logic behind your argument is not reflected in our protection policy ... in fact, you have made a case for ending protection on the Cameron article, since he is years away from No. 10, now in the opposition after this year's elections and, thanks to the way his premiership ended, highly unlikely to ever be "leader of a major Anglophone nation" again. WP:RFPP/D is available for this should you decide to take this step. Daniel Case (talk) 21:51, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think unprotecting David Cameron would be premature based on the article history. Nevertheless, I agree about the Rishi Sunak article. The article is not being significantly disrupted.

Reason: I'm requesting semiprotection for the article as it could end in vandalism and edit war in its current state. There are people that are fans of (or they are closer to) Bartek Krysiuk's band and they're interested in turning it into an article for his band Patriarkh. Krysiuk lost the lawsuit against Krzysztof Drabikowski and he is not allowed to use the name Batushka anymore. Also the article can benefit from a temporary protection until Krysiuk's band change of name is complete and a rewrite of the article can be made. Thank you very much.

Kingdom Assembly of Iran

Reason: The regime in Iran executed Jamshid Sharmad based on coerced false confessions extracted under torture. Sharmad worked closely with the Tondar group, which the regime often seeks to discredit. The Islamic regime has a history of targeting and discrediting opposition figures and dissidents through misinformation campaigns, including the spread of false information on Wikipedia. Therefore, in cases like this, it is crucial to verify edits and consult with reliable sources. Specifically, Gazelle Sharmad, Jamshid Sharmad’s daughter, can help clarify issues and verify accurate information due to her firsthand knowledge.

This request for page protection is also based on similar incidents involving other members of the Iranian opposition, such as the page on Reza Pahlavi. The pages of opposition figures have been frequent targets of disinformation and bad-faith edits. Given these risks, it is essential to take proactive measures to maintain the integrity of this page.

Sorry I meant to type user Ntrr123 and Mohsin1970, although I’m not sure it’s them. Regardless it looks like there's disruptive editing from unconfirmed and unregistered users so thought to be safe that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to suggest temporary semi-protection.

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Requested page protection earlier, but it was declined as not enough, vandalism has continued. Recently deceased individual. Four different examples in past couple days by four different IPs Example, Example Example Example. I think we should be a bit stricter with vandalism for recently deceased individuals, who deserve to have their memory honoured, not vandalized, so I'm all for the protection standards being a bit lower for the recently deceased.

Jamshid Sharmahd

Reason: The regime in Iran executed Jamshid Sharmad based on coerced false confessions extracted under torture. Sharmad worked closely with the Tondar group, which the regime often seeks to discredit. The Islamic regime has a history of targeting and discrediting opposition figures and dissidents through misinformation campaigns, including the spread of false information on Wikipedia. Therefore, in cases like this, it is crucial to verify edits and consult with reliable sources. Specifically, Gazelle Sharmad, Jamshid Sharmad’s daughter, can help clarify issues and verify accurate information due to her firsthand knowledge.

This request for page protection is also based on similar incidents involving other members of the Iranian opposition, such as the page on Reza Pahlavi. The pages of opposition figures have been frequent targets of disinformation and bad-faith edits. Given these risks, it is essential to take proactive measures to maintain the integrity of this page.

The topic also falls under the WP:ARBPS CTOP.

List of national flags of sovereign states

Indefinite semi-protection: Before it was turned into a redirect and still now, Gallery of sovereign state flags has been semi-protected to prevent disruptive editing. For some reason, the article it now redirects to is not also semi-protected. Can this be fixed?. ―Howard • 🌽33 22:53, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This page has never been protected (of course), the linked redirect has never been protected, protection was moved from a previous namespace eleven years ago. Other more experienced admins may choose to protect, but this page hasn't been protected on the merits for many years. The case presented today for indefinite semi-protection is unconvincing; it's not currently under attack. As an aside, page stability is normally a part of featured anything criteria, which is why I hesitate. Input from other sysops? BusterD (talk) 13:04, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I was looking at this on and off for some hours, but was on the fence about protection or not. I do not see an urgent need to protect, tbh.

@Muboshgu: I'm a little less certain about warnings being as broadly necessary as I first thought given WP:THEHILL and WP:THECONVERSATION being cited in at least one edit. Please also see the below note about the talk page. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:20, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's "reluctant". Daniel Case (talk) 18:55, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Case: I am definitely not immune from making English mistakes, but Merriam-Webster has something to say about this. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:20, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do they give any usage attestations? Daniel Case (talk) 19:21, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Daniel Case, they discuss it further in this article, but the examples given are fairly recent. It's not difficult to find earlier examples of broader usage such as this one from 1943, though. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:36, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm ... never knew it could be used that way. TIL ... Daniel Case (talk) 21:27, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Extended confirmed protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Logged as enforcement for WP:CT/AP. I looked further at the history and there is sufficient disruption from autoconfirmed users for protection to make sense. I'm most concerned about the lack of discussion on the talk page after looking at some of the sourced edits that have been removed. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:05, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I'll go post on the talk page. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:59, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No Nut November

Reason: Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism, protect it for 1 month just like every year 2A06:C701:4CF3:BB00:8C3F:414C:6FE7:8AF (talk) 21:24, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Given the page's past history with repeated instances of vandalism, I don't see a point in specifically asking for the protection to only be temporary; we could save lots of trouble by instead making that indefinite. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:44, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Continued addition of unsourced content. livelikemusic (TALK!) 19:17, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 19:26, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GE Appliances

Semi-protection: A lot of recent editing from IPs appears promotional, possible COI. TornadoLGS (talk) 19:24, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. Both IPs, from the article, indefinitely. One of them even resolves to GE—very easy call. Daniel Case (talk) 19:32, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: IP has re-added disputed content reverted by multiple editors after being asked to go to talk page to discuss. New IP address then re-adds the same content to try to bypass 3RR. BBQboffingrill me 21:22, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
