Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Nardog (talk) 09:57, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Question: @Nardog: I may be missing some context here but what makes these edits vandalism? - Aoidh (talk) 17:30, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Aoidh: I may be missing something too, but it looks more like edit warring including a 3RR violation. In addition, there are bitey warnings and edit summaries that completely fail to explain anything. Even if something is wrong with the edits, WP:3RRNO has not been followed because it's not obvious vandalism and no exemption has been claimed. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:42, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like a content dispute to me, but perhaps I do not understand what is wrong with the anonymous user's suggested IPA pronunciation. Malinaccier (talk) 20:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New York Police Department edit

Requesting extended confirmed protection indefinitely.

Reason: Repeated vandalism by IP and single edit accounts deleting the following text, often with false edit summaries (such as saying they just made grammatical changes)

The NYPD has a history of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct, which critics argue persists into the present day.[1][2][3]. 174.197.69.41 (talk) 14:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Please warn any editors using deceptive edit summaries and report them to WP:ANI if they continue after being warned. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 17:43, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Malcolm Archer edit

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism (white-washing of sexual abuse allegations section) over the last few years by anonymous IPs. Godtres (talk) 14:17, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  User(s) blocked. Partial block for IP range. If the disruption resumes, please submit a new request for page protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 18:07, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Acolyte (TV series) edit

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Lots of disruptive IP changes. Apparently this is an internet thing at the moment. Nemov (talk) 17:54, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. While the article is getting heavily edited (surprise: it's a new show in the Star Wars franchise), I don't see disruption overwhelming the editors currently. Daniel Case (talk) 19:28, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Mosley (broadcaster) edit

Reason: This person has recently been declared missing in Greece. He is a British television presenter and the page keeps getting vandalised. It is an active missing persons case which is attracting media attention in the UK. Would it meet the eligibility to be protected? Svampesky (talk) 19:37, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. IP users adding unsourced or poorly-sourced info on a breaking news event is not, IMO, the same thing as vandalism (Of course, other admins may differ). Daniel Case (talk) 19:38, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep an eye on the page because it is facing a little bit of vandalism, per Special:Diff/1227607970. What's the threshold of vandalism on a page for protection to be re-requested? Svampesky (talk) 19:44, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chennedy Carter edit

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. User:Namiba 19:42, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It only just came off of protection, let's give it a bit more time. Malinaccier (talk) 20:46, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Malinaccier: Sorry, I must have reloaded RfPP right before you made your edit. Are you okay with leaving it protected? Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:49, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Quinlan: My approach would be a bit more hands off, but I am fine with this :). Malinaccier (talk) 20:52, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Malinaccier: Thanks. I went ahead and reduced it to a week. Let's see if that's sufficient. I was on the fence for the same reason you declined and have definitely declined for the same reason, but ended up on the other side of the fence because she is still actively in the news cycle (see news reports from major media today). Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:02, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Reduced. See above discussion. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:03, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Al-Sardi school attack edit

Reason: Recent disagreement between editors. Article is CTOPS, so standard CT protection needed. Edit notice for TP and editing notice are already present. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 20:02, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Malinaccier (talk) 20:58, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Basanth Sadasivan edit

Reason: High level of vandalism by unidentified user Teddybrutus (talk) 20:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Malinaccier (talk) 20:59, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Disney villain characters edit

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Too many unexplained changes and removal of content by several IPs. CycloneYoris talk! 20:34, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 20:54, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:59, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Already protected by administrator Ymblanter. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:12, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Joe Pavelski edit

Temporary semi-protection: News broke that he's likely retiring, but Pavelski himself stated that it's not official yet, meaning that we don't note him as retired. A multitude of non-EC editors, however, seem to disagree. The Kip (contribs) 20:58, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
