Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

User:Iwaqarhashmi edit

Indefinite template protection: Requesting indefinte template protection for my user page because it was vandalized before, so I copied all the contents of the user page onto a ".css" subpage, but an extended confirmed user added the wrong COI template recently. Thanks! Waqar💬 16:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Uh ... this is sort of a unique request. Anybody other regular reviewer here have a take on this? Daniel Case (talk) 02:14, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand this is a unique request, but I'm hoping you can help. I would be incredibly grateful if you could consider fully protecting my user page to prevent any further vandalism once and for all. Waqar💬 05:32, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Template-protection or full protection would make the userpage inaccessible for almost everyone, and also for the OP. I see the incident of adding a COI template as a one-time off which doesn't amount to enough disruption to warrant protection; I would not grant this request. Lectonar (talk) 06:42, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While template protection can limit editing access, it doesn't necessarily render the user page inaccessible. Editors with appropriate permissions, like administrators or template editors, can still make edits if necessary. In the case of a COI template, a one-time incident can still be disruptive, especially if it affects the accuracy of the userpage. Waqar💬 07:04, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's why I wrote ' for almost everyone. But imagine you want a change made, and if the page was protected like you requested (so you can't edit it it yourself), you would then need an admin or template editor to implement the changes you want to make. I just gave my 2 cents here, and will let another admin decide. Lectonar (talk) 07:24, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The content of my user page is still uneditable by most users, even without template protection, because it's been transcluding from a ".css" subpage on my user page, and whoever wants to make changes to my user page can leave a message on my talk page. That's a much better approach! Waqar💬 07:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if I wanted to edit my user page, I would just make changes to my ".css" subpage conveniently without needing any admin intervention ever. Waqar💬 07:49, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be consistent with WP:UPROT to deny this request because the genuine and realistic need requirement has not been met. The level of disruption on the page is very low. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 17:22, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Not done. See WP:UPROT and above discussion. The page isn't close to being at the point where an unusual protection level makes sense. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:41, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign relations of Malaysia edit

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Dynamic IP disruption. May spill out into China–Malaysia relations. CMD (talk) 07:41, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  User(s) blocked: 2401:3C00:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. from the four articles they've been disruptive on for three months. Daniel Case (talk) 21:35, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Toofan (2024 film) edit

Reason: It was protected one time because there was high level IP vandalism. After the protection period ended another ip vandalism started and I requested for page protection second time, but it wasn't protected. Now again a ip is trying to edit it with original research. I reverted it, but it is clear that they will not be stale because they tried the same thing with different ips before that. So please I request you not to deny its protection this time and request you to protect it for at least two months because it is gonna be released on Eid-ul-Adha which is near and during that time there will be high level editing and adding unsourced box-office like what happened to Priyotoma and Rajkumar (2024 film). Mehedi Abedin (talk) 09:06, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There has been that one outburst in four days since protection expired. If there is a need to protect it when it is released, we will deal with it then. Daniel Case (talk) 21:38, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Houdini (Eminem song) edit

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Launchballer 12:09, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. I'd consider adding an inline comment and perhaps even a reference as per MOS:LEADCITE guidance on current subjects. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:56, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adobe Lightroom edit

Temporary semi-protection: Tag team SPAs add links to download site ... over and over ... can we have a break please? Or is there admin magic that could prevent that site (lrapkp.com) getting linked to ... ?? Thanks. DBaK (talk) 16:29, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’m pretty sure the admins can blacklist sites from being linked to, at least with sourcing. Dunno about vandalism though. Blueskiesdry (talk) 16:48, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Declined We do indeed have a page for this, although it is not just something any admin can do. This is best handled through the spam blacklist. Daniel Case (talk) 21:59, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of changes made due to the George Floyd protests edit

Indefinite semi-protection: Page has been subject to numerous attempts by various IP users in particular to add large amounts of WP:OR violating content, namely by declaring any change to do with diversity at any point in time after George Floyd's death to be down to his death without any evidence to support this (i.e. assigning causation).

This has been going on for some time and shows no sign of stopping. Request permanent semi-protection to reduce the need of constant monitoring and better ensure it's retention as an encyclopaedic entry. Rambling Rambler (talk) 21:09, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will log at CTOPS under AP. Daniel Case (talk) 22:14, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
