Satoru Iwata

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Vandalism/edit warring began within a day of the second page protection expiring. Death of Iwata is still fresh in the minds of gamers and a lot are seeking to have "Gods don't/can't die" on the page. Another two weeks or so of protection would be helpful.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. You have made no attempt that I can see, to discuss why Kiev is preferred over Kyiv. Please try that first, then come here if they remain indefatigable in changing it. Thank you, ceradon (talk • edits) 02:15, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Unprotection: Remember those unsourced content in the history of the article? That was from the "Next OS X" sort of edits. There is already a successor to Yosemite, and the Yosemite article may not need any more protection, as of now. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 23:02, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Declined, I see too much productive editing from those that would be prevented from editing if I protect it. The cons outweigh the benefits here. If it gets worse plesae place another request. Rjd0060 (talk) 23:38, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Meaning of life

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Looking at the edit history and logs, there has been persistent vandalism for many years, mostly from IP users. Considering previous extended bouts of semi-protection (including a full year in 2013-14), it may be time for indefinite semi-protection. ~ RobTalk 10:04, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. You're probably right, but let's give it one more year. We can always restore semi-protection if it gets out of hand again — MusikAnimal talk 17:57, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Ronda Rousey

Indefinite Semi--protection: Persistent vandalism – Page has been subjected to a large amount of IP vandalism over the past few months and despite having updates pending reviews, IPs still can send their edits there. If the page was protected, all those unnecessary updates wouldn't even have to be reviewed and it would make jobs easier for editors that want to improve the article. Please consider that. Thanks. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 13:24, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Edit rate is certainly far too high for pending changes, but from the looks of it this bit of disruption is only a recent development and may pass with time. Going with 4 days and leaving pending-changes protection in place for when semi expires — MusikAnimal talk 18:23, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: A long term target of IP vandalism. Please consider range blocking the offending IP indefinitely. They've been abusive for far too long. JayJ47 (talk) 03:08, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

It's highly unlikely you'll get a rangeblock as it covers a /16 range which would mean blocking the entirety of an ISP. tutterMouse (talk) 07:13, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Yes, a range block is doubtful in this case, and we almost never block IPs indefinitely — MusikAnimal talk 17:50, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

New Zealand flag debate

Temporary semi-protection: Constant IP vandalism lately, especially with unsourced POV statements. This will occur continuously from many unregistered sources as long as the topic is in the national news. Given that the the referendums are coming up (Nov. 2015 and Mar. 2016), this will not abate soon, and as publicity increases, the rate of IP vandalism is likely to increase even further. Thus I would like to request long-term protection until the end of the referendums, i.e. 31 March 2016. Transparent 6lue (talk) 05:18, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Changing the name of the airport in the infobox is now a long term abuse to this page. From my previous request, the article was protected for only 6 days and the abuse has continued and I'm sure it will again even though I have reverted the change. Hence requesting protection of this page for a longer duration to prevent collateral damage. — LeoFrank  Talk 15:36, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

2020 ICC World Twenty20 and ICC World Twenty20

Lengthy semi-protection. Persistent malicious IP-hopping vandalism on a high-profile article. Numerous other cricket-related articles have been semi-protected for varying periods of time because of this vandal's persistence. 2016 ICC World Twenty20 was recently semi-protected until March 2016, I suggest a similar length of time for this article. IgnorantArmies (talk) 15:51, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm going to tack ICC World Twenty20 onto this as well. That page was semi-protected until early last month. Since then, there has been almost daily vandalism by IPs, often taking the form of deliberate insertion of false information. I think protection is preferable to having incorrect information remaining for long periods on an article with very high page views. IgnorantArmies (talk) 15:59, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Declined Sorry Hafspajen, but your last revert does not fill me with confidence. NeilN talk to me 15:49, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
I left a message on the talk.The user removed the referenced name of Saint Francis with the motivation of a script called Prophecy of the Popes allegedly published by Benedictine monk Arnold Wion in 1595... that was 400 years after Francis birth. Several historians have concluded that the prophecies are a late 16th‑century forgery. We can't use it as a source for removal of Francis birth name. As far as I know there aren't any controversies about his birth name, NeilN. I think you should look also to the article history, there is plenty of evidence for vandalism. Very few people can judge the additions properly, because one needs theogical studies and such, or know hagiography well. PLEASE at least some kind of pending changes would be useful.

Unsalt/Remove create protection: Another day, another request for "unsalting". I have created a draft (stub) here (for which I've found 2–3 decent references) for this young actress, and would like to place the draft in article space. It looks like Admin Kudpung was the one who "salted" this one. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:28, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Comment: IJBall, The salting was a consequence of no less than seven legitmate deletions. This is perfectly normal - in fact we generally salt on the 3rd or 4th deletion.. Another creation is likely to be instantly challenged again if it is not adequately sourced and notabilty clearly asserted the moment it passes to mainspece. I am not opposed to another admin reviewing this request and making a decision. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:04, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
Question: @Kudpung: Were the previously deleted versions sourced at all? If so, do you know what sourcing was used?... This one was a little disappointing on my end – I have one decent press source (The Toledo Blade), but I couldn't find a decent Variety or Hollywood Reporter cite this time, and was forced to use FutonCritic.com and AfterEllen.com (which, while OK, weren't as solid as I was hoping for)... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 05:08, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
IJBall, salting the article was purely procedural and this is not strictly the venue for this discussion. Out of respct for ADMINACT I replied rapidly here but I recuse myself from any other involvement in this article - time does not permit and other admins patrol this page anyway. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:18, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
Unprotected The AfD is from 4 years ago, and claims to the subject's notability are now stronger than they were then. The actress has done more, lived more, and – most importantly from a Wikipedia standpoint – generated more reliable third party sources on the interwebs. I've therefore concluded that unsalting is a viable option. Airplaneman ✈ 05:53, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Greetings. The recent editing of this article on an Indian city has mainly been a low-level pissing match between ethnic/caste groups, with IP editors and the occasional SPA changing one sentence back and forth between "The city is dominated by (Veer Gujjars|Yadavs|Ahirs)." and variations thereof.

"Blocks are preventative not punitive. As he has retired a block would serve no purpose. I did take a look at the specifics he listed above regarding statements by Andy, from what I can see, more than a few of Andy's comments are factually inaccurate. One or two mistakes can be placed down to error. When you start hitting 5 or 6, its hard to not lean towards deliberate misrepresentation.

"No but our policies do tend at times towards the sometimes naive idea of assuming good faith so a block would be punitive at this point. Hopefully (and it's possible) the editor cools down, comes back and actually works more calmly. The RFC discussion was not particularly civil either (I find it interesting that when discussing the page at WPT:CARS, Lukeno94 advocated a merger but when push came to shove, he changed to an outright deletion, which is fair to do but you can't expect not to be criticized if you do that). Again, it seems to have stopped here, which is the main point. Any block would not gain anything to anyone. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:20, 28 July 2015 (UTC)"

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – SPI has been targeted by the troll himself - my worry is that he will carry on trying to edit the page even after closure. The behaviour, the huge number of accounts blocked and vowing to carry on disrupting indicates to me that he will continue to try seeking attention, and that this page will continue to be a target. I don't see the need for any unregistered/new users to edit the page, and certainly not when the case is closed. The page has already been semi-protected, but I believe that the protection should be raised to indefinite to prevent further abuse to this page. Optakeover(Talk) 16:50, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

@Bishonen: Ping protecting admin. Airplaneman ✈ 20:52, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
Yes, indeed, I semi'd it for a week, as you probably saw, Optakeover. The live, closed, page will surely be archived before the protection expires, and once it has been, unregistered/new users might want to start a new report on it. For that reason, I don't like the idea of indefinite semi. If anything, I should think the troll might be more interested in messing with the archive, as soon as it comes into existence. I'll try to keep an eye out for that. An archive can indeed be semi'd indefinitely, if the need arises. Will you please let me know if you should see something suspicious, Optakeover?

Mantis Bug Tracker

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Anon keeps adding unsourced content. The original content was nor sourced either and so I have simply removed it. The addition in the history section has now been tagged. Anon simply keeps reverting and claiming a team is the "original author" which isn't supported by the only link anon has provided. I should also open a dialog in the talk page. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:16, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Apologies if this is the wrong way to update - however, i've noticed the Walter has posted this here, so would like to clarify the situation:

"In 2002, Ken was joined by Jeroen Latour, Victor Boctor and Julian Fitzell to be the administrators and became a team project"

  • Walter then reverted this change with the words "I'm getting tired of this unsupported change".

I do not see why Walter is counting a change with source references as "unsupported". At this point, I contacted the wikipedia admins on IRC and spoke to a irc admin called "Pine" - who suggested updating the talk page for the project.

Whilst doing this, Walter added performed a modification https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mantis_Bug_Tracker&type=revision&diff=674955351&oldid=674948964 with the comment "not supported" saying citation needed. Again, I'm not sure why requesting a citation is "not supported". And removed the author information with wording "not in any way, shape or form supported."

I have since added a citation for the "not supported" citation request of walter @ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mantis_Bug_Tracker&type=revision&diff=674955943&oldid=674955397,

And the talk page for the project has been updated to include discussion on the author: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mantis_Bug_Tracker with comments from myself, pine and Walter.

I believe that the current page not reflects accurately the information on the project, it's rather disappointing to then see that Walter has put in a request for semi-protection for his reverts of trying to update the wikipedia page with correct information. I suspect however, that Walter may also agree that the page not reflects the correct information in its current form and that this request is no longer required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.232.233.164 (talk) 09:15, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. General Ization Talk 03:41, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Note: I've sent it to AfD, because it's an almost-WP:G4 situation (it was deleted before, but this isn't an exact copy, but it's still as bad). That might stop the edit war (which seems to be over that very thing) for the time being and will likely result in a WP:SALT or protected redirect. If it does continue, however, either update this or re-request protection. Obviously any other admin is free to go ahead and protect, too. --slakr\ talk / 10:48, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

SummerSlam (2015)

I don't know how this works but SummerSlam 2015 being fully protected is a ludicrous idea and it should be downgraded to autoconfirmed only edits. If you want to stop the warring ban the users who are adding the warring info, don't fully protect the page. Cambridge Weather is wrong for this. The idea of Wikipedia is everyone can edit, at the very least let autoconfirmed users edit it. It goes against policy to fully protect Summerslam 2015. It's not an event most americans even care about (only a few hundred thousand fan boys) Give me a break, this is the dumbest protection I've ever seen. RbAxM33320 (talk) 04:26, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Declined, So I've given this some thought over the past few hours, and I have decided to let the protection stand. Evidence from the editing history suggests extremely problematic unsourced edits across the board that clearly degrade the verifiability of the information persented in the article, which is currently being viewed by a significant portion of the aforementioned fanboys. Such high page traffic suggests that the past trend of disruptive editing will continue should the protection be lowered in severity. Past editing history also suggests that the number of disruptive/unsourced edits highly outweigh the number of editors capable of reverting such damage consistently. I do agree that full protection until the 25 of August is lengthy, but I think that at least some amount of time spent under full protection is beneficial for not only the page but also the quality of life of the editors who have to constantly undo the constant unsourced speculation. I did not find evidence of constructive contributions in a review of the edits made in the month of August 2015. I therefore do not find semi-protection a viable, productive option at this point in time. Airplaneman ✈ 02:38, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. That will stop the sporadic but persistent disruption by IP/new editors. Also recommend that the experienced editors involved (User:Cydevil38, User:Zanhe and User:Ogress) use the talkpage to settle the remaining dispute; I see that a discussion has already been started. Abecedare (talk) 17:54, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
@Abecedare: Yes, this IP issue is completely unrelated to any conflict involving the three of us. Is there any way you could remove the latest IP's revision? We are each, as I understand it, avoiding editing that section of the page because of edit warring concerns so I doubt anyone will be able to remove what is definitely material against consensus. Ogress smash! 18:08, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
@Ogress: I take your word that this edit is uncontructive, but don't have enough knowledge of the subject to know exactly why (also my reversion will likely be misinterpreted as having "an admin's imprimatur", which would be unjustified). So I'd recommend that, if needed, one of the regular editors revert it themselves with an explanatory edit summary or a note on the talk-page. Abecedare (talk) 18:18, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
@Abecedare: Thanks, I'm not familiar with Admin stuff. I will raise the issue. Presumably we can come to "okay this is an acceptable revert" since we all agree it is against the strong consensus hammered out by a large party of editors last year. Ogress smash! 18:26, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Irom Chanu Sharmila

Semi-protection: IP addresses are using the Talk page as a sort of blog to provide updates on what they understand is happening around Irom Chanu Sharmila, a hunger-striking activist in India. These posts on the Talk page are not OK per WP:BLP as they are saying things about a BLP that are not supported by reliable sources. In addition, the IPs are using the Talk page as a WP:SOAPBOX. Please semi-protect the article and especially its Talk page for a couple of months. The pp I am asking for is primarily for the Talk page. I understand that is unusual. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 14:42, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Declined First off, the article experienced a brief edit war last month but otherwise has not been subject to much disruption. As for the talk page, I'm a bit torn on whether to consider the IP's edits as constructive toward the discussion. I don't quite see the soapbox tone, given they're providing links to sources, and none of the BLP concerns seem serious. Either way, the edits in question are limited to a single anonymous user, so page protection is not the answer. Instead, sufficiently warn the user and if after repeated warnings they continue to misuse the talk page, we can consider a block. — MusikAnimal talk 18:54, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Daniel Múgica

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – The original author of this article has used many sockpuppets and keeps on reverting to their preferred version. A previous period of semi-protection has not halted this. This is tedious and prevents other editors doing anything constructive. While semi-protection may inconvenience other editors to some extent it has to be better than the current situation. Suggest indefinite protection or a significantly longer period of temporary protection. DanielRigal (talk) 16:16, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

It would be helpful as well to get some attention on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Debora Mugica, the case was endorsed by a clerk on 8/11 but checkuser hasn't been run yet, these SPA's/puppets don't seem to be going away on their own. Cheers, Vrac (talk) 17:55, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – IP editor has changed IPs and is back edit warring over content - at this time, however, the editing looks more like intentional vandalism than anything else. The article was full protected until an hour or so ago. See this and this for previous issue/edit warring reports. NOTE: To whatever administrator who page protects this article, please revert back to the version that includes the content the IP keeps removing as it is relevant to the article and not under dispute by anyone other than the disruptive IP. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 01:01, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

The anon IP in this case is not editing disruptively at all. The anon IP is simply editing in a way the above editor disagrees with. As I explain why on the article's talk page, the IP's reasons for the edit are eminently sensible. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:46, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
Incorrect. The IP is edit warring and removing any content that includes "Palestinian" - even within references. If that's not disruptive, I don't know what is. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 01:48, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
It's only partly incorrect. I didn't notice that the IP had truncated part of an article title, and, indeed, agree with Winkelvi on that clear violation by the IP. However, the IP's edit to the infobox was completely constructive. Gigi Hadad is a California born-and-bred model whose ethnicity has nothing to do with her career or notability. --Tenebrae (talk) 02:27, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Fully protected Nyttend, Unfortunately since the kids can't behave we'll have to place this on our list of articles that are edited via {{editprotected}} requests after discussion and clear consensus on a per-item basis. Ideally everybody could just get along. If most of the involved users disagree with the protection we'll just go ahead down the blocking road instead. However, that is what will happen, no matter how many people are involved, if this continues post-protection. Will drop a note on the talk page linking to this rationale.

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This applies to AlDub. MelanieN (talk) 16:53, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
Declined with regard to Yaya Dub. I see very little IP vandalism here. The main problem is an edit war, among auto-confirmed users, about which of these articles should be the main article and which should be the redirect. A move discussion has been started at Talk:Maine Mendoza; a history merge has also been proposed. The only solution I can see to all this is to fully-protect both pages until the issues are resolved at talk pages. I am reluctant to do that at this point, but if the warring continues that may be the only solution. MelanieN (talk) 16:50, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The article was protected on 19 August 2015 due to non-stop vandalism by sock puppets. Now, they returned as anonymous users (IPs) and start to vandalize the article again. [49], [50], [51], [52], [53], [54]. This article targeted by some racist and disruptive editors. Persistent sockpuppetry and vandalism. So an indefinite/long temporary semi-protection is necessary. Because the vandal(s) didn't stop their actions since last protection.

  • RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি I was going to decline this request. But better if I talk to you first.Yes, many IPs are editing this article. But, I can not see too many revert. I have manually checked a few edits. Those look more or less good. IPs are editing an article -- that's not a reason to semi-protect the article, specially when mainly IPs are editing this article now. You may expand your rationale above. --Tito Dutta (talk) 04:26, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
Titodutta - See this - adding of John Arne Riise, Anders Svensson etc, Florent Malouda, before Jonatan Lucca and Leo Moura officialy confirmed, Carlos Marchena before confirmed and so on. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 06:46, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
You have given four links of 21 August, 18 August, 1 August, 28 July. As I said, I felt mostly IPs are editing this article. I am not sure. I'll ask another admin for second opinion.
BTW, please consider writing edit summary. I'll drop a note at the article talk page too. --Tito Dutta (talk) 06:53, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I concur with Tito Dutta that IPs are making many positive contributions to this article, while a few are adding unsourced or inaccurate material (mostly good-faith edits, not vandalism). These additions are fairly rare. I realize the lack of protection makes it hard for article watchers to keep up, but I don't think banning all IPs is the solution.

Template protected indefinitely. I have downgraded protection to allow edits by those with the template editor permission. Please apply for that permission if you qualify for it, see Wikipedia:Template editor#Guidelines for granting. If you do not, it isn't a good idea for you to edit high risk templates yet, so please use {{Edit template-protected}} on the relevant talkpages, which will no doubt count towards your experience for a future application for the permission. WJBscribe (talk) 13:48, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
@WJBscribe: Pray tell, what exactly is "high risk" about a talk-page banner with around about a thousand uses? If you were to look at my user rights log, I've had TE recently revoked, because I no longer "hold the trust required". If you're not going to downgrade it to semi, I'm quite happy to leave it to rot in the HC. Alakzi (talk) 13:54, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Are you mocking me? Alakzi (talk) 14:03, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
Apologies, I got an edit conflict and seem to have reposted the same message, rather than the following:
If you have had the right removed on the basis that you lack the trust to edit protected templates, that is all the more reason why I shouldn't reduce the protection to allow you to edit them. It does not appear that merging these templates is urgent, so you can either leave this to someone else or use {{Edit template-protected}}. I would have thought that a series of such requests being actioned would be the best way for you to demonstrate that you can in fact be trusted with the permission, and that it is in our interests to restore it. Saying that you're "quite happy to leave it to rot in the HC" is probably not a good way to rebuild trust and confidence. WJBscribe (talk) 14:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
I did not have the right removed because I can't be trusted to edit templates; I've had the right removed because, and I quote, I "[went] off the rails", and, "given the damage that a template editor can potentially do, it does not seem wise that editors prone to edit warring and uncontrolled outbursts should have this right". And whose are "our" interests? The only people who've benefitted from my having lost TE are the megalomaniac career button-pushers who inhabit the highest peaks of Mount Wikilawyer. But this is all besides the point; these two aren't high-risk templates. Alakzi (talk) 14:17, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
Looking at User talk:Alakzi#Template editing, it was made clear that the revocation was not intended to be permanent and would that the right would likely be restored following 1-2 months of constructive editing. That doesn't seem particularly unreasonable. References to "the megalomaniac career button-pushers who inhabit the highest peaks of Mount Wikilawyer" are not helping your cause.
As to this request, please use {{Edit template-protected}} if you wish to make changes to these templates. If you think they shouldn't be regarded as high risk templates at all, I suggest starting a discussion on their talkpages to establish a consensus that they have insufficient transclusions etc to qualify. I'm not going to overrule the original protecting admin on that issue. WJBscribe (talk) 14:34, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
@WJBscribe: I'm not asking for the restoration of my rights. I've made the very sensible, very pragmatic request for the protection of a template that appears to be of and in no immediate, intermediate or long-term risk to be lowered. You'd be committing no grave sin if you were to lower the protection without consulting with the protecting admin; that is, no graver sin than your repeated attempts to patronise me. No, I'm not going to start a discussion on some backwater page to "establish a consensus". That would be like calling a meeting at work to decide on what brand of disposable coffee cups to buy. Alakzi (talk) 15:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
You are taking a needlessly aggressive approach here. You made a request here citing the reason, "So that I can merge them per the TfD outcome" - you did not at that stage challenge the reasons why the page was protected in the first place. The templates between them have nearly 2,000 transclusions, so protecting them as high risk does not strike me as particularly unreasonable. As far as I am aware, there is no general consensus as to how many transclusions are required to render a template high risk, so a discussion regarding these particular templates would seem in order. As you apparently regard my comments as patronising, a fresh set of eyes is probably a good idea. I will make a new request below, for another admin to consider. WJBscribe (talk) 16:43, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Vote (X) for Change

This is a case page raised against a sockmaster, but is alleging that a number of dynamic IP address are the sock puppets of the sockmaster. The IP's are vaguely related in that they all geolocate to arround the London area (not a reliable guide because dynamic IP address will always geolocate to the server when they are not assigned).

In spite of the allegation being predominantly against IP address editors, the page has been semi-protected to make sure that none of those IP address editors can actually respond. It is believed that the case has been raised in an attempt to prevent at least one IP editor from editing in the same article as the person who raised it. If the semi=protection is not going to be removed, then the cae should be closed on the basis that response to the allegations has been blocked. 86.145.209.15 (talk) 12:05, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – A new user and an IP editor (who are presumably the same person) are trying to delete an image and refuse to provide any explanation about that or contribute to the Talk page discussion. Thus, it may look like a simple content dispute, but the problem is exactly that there is no dispute, i.e., the new editor does not join the discussion or present arguments in the edit tags. Thus, a temporary page protection might force him / her to use the Talk page and present arguments. KœrteFa {ταλκ} 11:11, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Template:Transwikied to Wiktionary & Template:Transwiki to Wiktionary Finished

Alakzi would like the protection on these templates reduced from "template protection" to "semi-protection" on the basis that they are insufficiently extensively transcluded to warrant protection as high risk templates. I would appreciate another administrator considering this request. WJBscribe (talk) 16:48, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

  • The transclusion count is one factor. The fact that they are talk-page banners, and thus pose no great risk is another. Alakzi (talk) 16:54, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Non-administrator/template editor comment: If this editor wants to be in some way responsible for performing the merge, their best route would be to put the new text/setup of the template in the template's sandbox, then place an {{edit template-protected}} request on that page's talk page. I don't understand why this process should be circumvented if the editor has proven themselves to the community their lack the ability to be trusted with this user access level. Steel1943 (talk) 19:00, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
    • You could have also not commented. That would've been better for everyone. Alakzi (talk) 19:02, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
      • I don't see how it is "better for everyone" when I don't agree with the path you have chosen to take to get this edit completed. Either way, I don't believe that this request should be fulfilled since I don't think that the downgraded protection level will resolve the issue that I see. Speaking of which, who originally set this template for permanent protection? You're probably going to need to reach out to them. Steel1943 (talk) 19:05, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 19:14, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
  • The former template has 1556 transclusions and it's about to get another 390. That's well above the threshold where protection against abuse is a good idea. Given that it is only used on talk pages I would not object to downgrading it to semi-protection, at least temporarily, but I would object to unprotecting it completely. Vandals do target highly used templates and the reason I protected this one was because a sophisticated vandal was using them to vandalise huge numbers of pages at once. Alakzi, I suggest you be a little more civil and avoid personal attacks if you are going to comment here. Hut 8.5 20:04, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
Not unprotected This is not the way to go around having your template editor flag removed. These have oplenty of transclusions to justify the current protection level. Courcelles (talk) 02:05, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Criticism of Twelver Shia Islam

Temporary semi-protection: IP editor keeps reinserting material without forming talk page consensus.[66][67][68] [69] [70] --Anders Feder (talk) 15:31, 26 August 2015 (UTC) UTC)

User:Anders Feder refuses or has failed to respond to legitimate issues with the content removal on the article's talk page. This just looks like his attempt to silence opposition to his views by blocking IP editors so he can remove content unimpeded.120.18.118.217 (talk) 03:20, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

I have not refused or failed to respond to anything at all as is plainly obvious from the talk page. What I am attempting to do is to stop an edit warring IP editor who refuses to respect WP:ONUS, in spite of countless requests for it to do so, from continuing its disruption.--Anders Feder (talk) 03:47, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
User:Anders Feder, could you give the evidence for your removal based upon the source not saying what it claims to? Your reasoning on the talk page reads something like this: i don't agree with the contents linking twelvers with catholics, therefore the source must in fact not actually say this even though i have not produced an ounce of evidence to support this. That is what i am getting. If you want my support then produce your evidence from the reference and i will agree with the removal. Simple!120.18.44.99 (talk) 06:40, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
If you have comments regarding a dispute about the contents of the article, why aren't you making them on the talk page where they belong? The request here is to stop the unambiguous disruption being caused by IP edit warriors refusing to follow WP:ONUS.--Anders Feder (talk) 09:48, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
Seriously?! What do you think i have been referring to this whole time? I have left my views regarding the section removal and no one has addressed them; this is the reason for my opposition to what appears to be nothing but a hasty and unreasonable attempt to unjustly remove content that is well sourced and highly relevant.120.18.93.11 (talk) 13:57, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not sure I understand. The IP reverted without discussion and it's not just a single IP or incident in this article there have been several IPs mostly from the Ontario area who have done POV editing in this article. If I had been quicker to undo, I think it would have been likely the entire sequence would have happened in a day, but I did not want to precipitate that. Anyway, let's see what happens.

Unprotection: Page is semi-protected, as was recently discussed at WP:Help Desk, but semi-protection appears to be very old because there have no IP edits for a year. Why not unprotect it? . Robert McClenon (talk) 16:07, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

I can't see that happening, it's a high-risk target and the log shows it'd be near pointless to unprotect it before it'd be protected again within short notice. I get that we should try for unprotection when they've been protected for extended periods but some articles like this would be a resource suck for editors as the majority of edits would be reverting vandalism from bored kids. Also, it's still very much active in terms of constructive editing and lowering protection even to PC would be a severe misstep. tutterMouse (talk) 18:18, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

WP:REDLINK "Articles should not have red links to topics that do not warrant an article". Most of the teams will never merit an article.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Editors are continually changing the political position without seeking a change in consensus. Me-123567-Me (talk) 18:55, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Me-123567-Me, before coming here you changed Moxy's text without changing the source they provided. Not good optics. NeilN talk to me 23:26, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Days of Our Lives cast members

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Immediately upon page's removal from page protection, same pattern of disruptive editing returned (original research, fan-cruft information, unverifiable claims). Page requires indefinite protection at this point, or at the very least, through the end of 2015 to stop the continued vandalism. livelikemusic my talk page! 00:41, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. We've done the "one month semi-protection" thing more times than I can count and it has never solved the problem. The same person using multiple different IPs has been spamming that page since 2006!Cebr1979 (talk) 00:43, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Okay, semi'ing since we're witnessing the same disruption as we did before. However I'd like to point out prior to this there were only two other semi-protection periods, and the page was created in 2007, so maybe you've got it confused with another page — MusikAnimal talk 01:21, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: recurrent IP vandalism (see [81]). Quis separabit? 12:14, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Only one disruptive edit in the past 5 days is not something that can't be handled normally. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 14:20, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism: growing amounts in the past month and multiple examples today, various attempts to add unsourced "winners." In the past we have had to semi-protect the page for up to a year, and I suggest we are at that level again. Thanks. Jusdafax 22:12, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
