Asim Munir (general)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism and unconstructive edits since nomination and becoming the Chief of Pakistan Army, previous protection is expired, vandalism will not going to end until article gets Indefinite semi-protection like previous chief Qamar Javed Bajwa article. 103.141.159.226 (talk) 07:06, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The page Asim Munir should be protected with pending changes because the most of the IP users and others making disrupt edits on it. The users make unsourced changes again and again and ruined the article in the way they like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by M.Ashraf333 (talk • contribs) 11:44, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Zero-COVID

Extended Confirmed Protection: Per ArbCom Sanctions. PerryPerryD Talk To Me 19:17, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see any reason for protection for the moment. In particular, the COVID topic is under standard discretionary sanctions, which, to my understanding, do not allow for extended confirmed protection without semi-protection first being tried (and proven ineffective). Will appreciate a second opinion.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:49, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There has been several i.p vandals within the past 3 days. I request at least Semi-Protection, as this article addresses a sensitive topic itself. Considering its ITN placement, It appears to be an important or sensative article on Covid-19;. PerryPerryD Talk To Me 15:31, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fostina Dixon

Temporary semi-protection: Content dispute over the subject's year of birth. The subject of the article has been trying to have the year of her birth removed from the article for apparently several years, including sending emails to VRT. The matter is currently being discussed on the article's talk page and the subject has been encouraged to participate in said discussion. An IP claiming to have been authorized by the subject has now shown up to continue to remove the disputted content. Page protection might be needed until this can be resolved. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:16, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yevgeni Ponasenkov

Indefinite full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Continual presence of different IP editors who are coming in to update the article in a way that doesn't represent reality, failing WP:NPOV. Everyday almost, the article must be reverted. scope_creepTalk 16:58, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Last time I dealt with this article, I was subject to serious real-life harassment, possibly paid for by the subject of the article. I would recommend that only admins with a concealed identity take action. (Not necessarily an endorsement for protection).--Ymblanter (talk) 06:55, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Already protected by administrator Ohnoitsjamie. Lets hope nothing bad happens. DatGuyTalkContribs 16:47, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Despicable Me

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Sahas P. (talk) 12:23, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: This page has extensive vandalism. This morning, I found an IP user with an address of 84. something and they kept adding unnecessary information to the page which included "Stop reverting my edits ya goofy ahh mods." I want this page to be semi-protected to see if vandalism will decrease, if not, extended protection. Sahas P. (talk) 12:26, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sahas P. The offending IP has been blocked, which is more likely to solve the problem. Please do not add multiple requests here, it does not help. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 12:45, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists

The topic area falls under WP:ARBEE, so could also be protected on this basis. A longish protection would be best; compare to another historical article, which was protected for a year. Please see admin's note at RPP. K.e.coffman (talk) 17:56, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Since the last block ended, the article continues to be subject to disruptive editing from IPs that are all over the map but that are united in their misguided insistence that harissa is traditional only in Tunisia.

@Nortekman: There is no page with this name. Did you mean a different page? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 07:03, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Look like Nortekman is referring to es:Coleo de toros, which they have recently edited. The equivalent article on this Wiki is Coleo but a) Nortekman has not edited that one and b) it does not appear to be in urgent need of protection. Favonian (talk) 16:39, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. DatGuyTalkContribs 16:47, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

XO (record label)

Reason: This page should be locked, as multiple users are adding inaccurate information about the number of releases by this label. See Chxrry22 on the roster section - unapproved users are submitting edits that Chxrry22 has 4 releases by the label, when the correct number is 2.

Reason: Page on Manupatra does not exist. Manupatra introduced legaltech in India and thus potrays the history of legal tech in India , which I wish to publish. Mprateek (talk) 08:27, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Don’t protect articles about people who died over 400 years ago! 2403:6200:8871:2336:9CCB:FF2E:D7A:5309 (talk) 08:39, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The protection was inherited from Elizabeth I of England after that page was hit with relentless IP vandalism; the page was then moved into its present title. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 09:22, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of unbeaten football club seasons

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Constant unsourced change of a value by IPs. Nehme1499 10:37, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is a bit bold, but Declined. @Nehme1499: the confusion seems to arise with List of unbeaten football club seasons being interpreted as "List of longest unbeaten football club runs," as I found https://www.cafonline.com/news-center/news/young-africans-make-history-with-49-match-league-unbeaten-run. Adding a clear comment or editnotice may be useful. I have no issue with another administrator reviewing this and applying protection, or anyone rerequesting protection in the future. DatGuyTalkContribs 18:00, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hugo Helmig

Reason: Massive edit war. Imod Kunsten (talk · contribs) inserts the subject's death date with reference to Frihedens Stemme, an unreliable WP:SELFPUB. The user argues that because the source is a a part of the Danish Press Council, it is reliable; I doubt this. The subject has confirmed that he was close to attempting suicide a few weeks ago [1] (in Danish), but not a single reliable source has explicitly confirmed his death, and I believe it is soundest to, as per WP:BLP, respect that it might be the case that family wants to keep this private for now. See also Talk:Hugo Helmig. —Biscuit-in-Chief :-) (ˈ[d̥͡soːg̊ʰ] – [ˈg̊ʰɒ̹nd̥͡sɹ̠ɪb̥s]) 13:35, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Prince Octavius of Great Britain

Reason: High level of vandalism, mainly from IPs, due to being today's featured article. In the last 12 hours, the article's content has been deleted, duplicated, had slurs written in it, had information on emos pasted in, and perhaps worst of all, been replaced with the contents of a Wikipedia article about cheese. Unlimitedlead (talk) 21:30, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:57, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vellalar

Reason: The socks have been blocked by mods. The article needs a big rewrite and corrections. Because of major flaws and editorial bias. Also, the article's most of the information contributed by 2 outdated editors Exhistorian (talk) 18:57, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

02 December 2022

Ngozi Fulani

Reason: Fulani is British. She's on the front page of BBC news right now because her British nationality was questioned by a racist royal household worker. Twice now, IP addresses have adjusted her nationality away from being British to introduce alternative nationalities that are not supported in reliable sources. CT55555(talk) 13:36, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please note what Inharmonicity was restoring in that hopelessly promotional article. They refused to address what seems to be a conflict of interest. 199.80.8.254 (talk) 19:16, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined We could deal with this here, but only by fully protecting the article. Which I would recommend doing only if you guys continue edit warring over this.

    IP, I see your point. I believe that the near-term interests of the article and Wikipedia would be better served by taking this to the conflict of interest noticeboard if you believe that Inharmonicity has some connection to Roland they have not disclosed. Daniel Case (talk) 19:57, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Oh good grief! I have no "conflict of interest" or connection to any music company and I don't work in the industry (I wish lol). I just play the drums. Last time I contribute to this site. What's the point??? Inharmonicity (talk) 20:00, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jayron32: my point pertains to the protection request. As it's always preferred to leave the article as open as possible while preventing disruption (yes, even in ARBPIA, per the provisions), it is entirely valid to be questioned here. DatGuyTalkContribs 14:55, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:PIA is pretty clearly applicable to this article; it fits within the dispute area. It doesn't become not related to Palestine and Israel merely because you dispute something Coffeeandcrumbs did. --Jayron32 15:04, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protection: Several edits in violation of WP:BLP like possibly defamatory additions of unsupported categories and MOS:ROLEBIOs. Throast {{ping}} me! (talk | contribs) 10:44, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Several of the edits look to be made by extended confirmed editors, so this would need full protection. I'd like a bit more input before pulling the trigger on that. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 10:51, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm on the fence on this, too. Note that I've warned the OP for violating WP:3RR. In one of their reverts, they remove (diff) a quote by the subject that reads (in full):
I'm not trying to be shocking. I like Hitler. The Holocaust is not what happened, let's look at the facts of that, and Hitler has a lot of redeeming qualities.
In their edit summary they write (in part): avoid WP:LONGQUOTEs. I'm not sure how those 3 sentences could be deemed a long quote, so, that's a bit of a concern tbh. El_C 15:02, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not a huge fan of quotes anyway, as it lends more weight which is a BLP concern. Is there a consensus required ARB AP that could be imposed for a week or two until this can be discussed and worked out on the talk page? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:15, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Myself, I never log DS protections that are less than 3 months (because that would make the log very long!). I usually just make a note of it in the protection summary. See for example my protection from a few minutes ago (diff). But, yes, WP:AP2 does apply, as insane as that is. El_C 15:27, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Something should probably be done to stop edit warring over this, for instance. Maybe don't go with the protection, but tell everyone to stop? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:30, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
But that's an extended confirmed user, so only full protection would work for them, at least. Also, I'm not a fan of {{blockquote}}s, either, but the point is that it's not a long quote as the OP contends. El_C 15:33, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That brings me back to my first concern, it would need full protection. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:37, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It would, but I don't think it's at that point yet; I don't think the edit war is active enough to warrant that just yet. El_C 15:42, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
El_C, I want to clarify that WP:LONGQUOTE was not in reference to the quote's length, which admittedly is not that long, but in reference to quote boxes, use of which is discouraged over WP:WEIGHT concerns; I used the shortcut for convenience. Essentially, what I took issue with was the highlighting of that one specific excerpt. I obviously should have clarified this in my edit summary. Throast {{ping}} me!

List of football stadiums in Greece

Reason: Constant vandalism by sockpuppets of banned user Αθλητικά ( this edit was made by a sockpuppet of this well-known banned user ) and several other users. The correct capacity is referenced adequately and I have even started a talk page on this. However, numerous IP addresses keep vandalising this, sometimes with provocative content (such as in this edit ). I have tried talking to some of the IP addresses, such as here, but there is no result. As this page will be updated only when a stadium is renovated or built, which is very rarely, I believe a permanent extended protection (for verified users with 30 days and 500 edits) is appropriate and essential.

Pending-changes protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I reviewed a diff between July 2022 and today (link), and while I see mostly small changes and fixes (along with a small paragraph that was added but sufficiently referenced), I do see some edits in between that added some unreferenced content, but was removed later. I don't consider these additions to be vandalism; I would advise BMA-Nation2020 to avoid the use of this term in future requests unless they supplement sufficient evidence to support their claim (the listing of relevant diffs proving vandalism is usually best). In any case, I feel that six months of pending changes protection is not unreasonable here.

Chad Johnson (TV personality)

Reason: Deletion of sourced "negative" material (arrest for domestic violence) that has been removed every few weeks by anon IP editor (likely the same one) over a period of months. Page was previously protected (from Sep 2021 to March 2022) because of the same abuse; when protection expired, abuse started right back up again and has not stopped. Wes sideman (talk) 15:48, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
I am writing to you concerned about Wikipedia editor Wes Sideman (whom I have linked to below). He has committed multiple counts of vandalism and seems to have an obsession with this television character “Chad Johnson” from the TV show “The Bachelorette” and his Wikipedia page. He continues to change the notoriety of Chad Johnson from his TV shows, to his arrest records attempting to defame him. Those charges were dropped and as you can see in the video below, his girlfriend admits no assault happened. Apparently Wes Sideman knows more than the two people actually involved in the incident. Wes Sideman also continues to remove any remotely good press about Chad from the Wikipedia page. For some reason Wes has been monitoring and harassing this Wikipedia page for over two years now. If you have time, I would ask or suggest that you look into doing something about this Wes Sideman moderator using an abuse of power on Wikipedia. It is my request that you block Wes Sideman from the ability to continue to abuse his editorial power on this page. Please ensure that he can no longer remove positive articles, add false negative information, and generally continue his vandalism of this page.
Thank you.

Comment: I have no comment on the above ip statement. I have no reason to think User:Wes sideman is acting for any other reason but in good faith. On looking at the material frequently removed, this looks like poorly sourced gossip (cites from Fox News and People) which may be true but is surely UNDUE, in my opinion. I can see why someone might desire its removal since it seems a BLP violation to me (unless it's much better sourced). BusterD (talk) 01:27, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Repeated unsourced additions by account claiming to be the subject, which was blocked for WP:IMPERSONATE; followed by similar edits by newly registered accounts, signaling WP:OWN behaviour and suspected WP:SOCK/WP:MEAT activity. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:37, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment while most of what reports above is true, the accounts have been trying to remove poorly sourced girlfriend information and not add it. It is entirely possible (even likely) that all three accounts are related and one of them is already blocked as impersonator (and the other two should be blocked as likely socks). I involved myself because I saw the removals as justified under BLP policy. I announced my intention and boldly removed some of what User:Masonreese1 and the later socks were also removing. My personal opinion is that the linked account is in fact the subject and NOT an impersonator. I also started a talk page thread but nobody has been talking (since they're blocked). Protection is unnecessary here (since they are all blocked or should be). The disruptive activity stopped when I intervened. Sorry if this comment lacks brevity. BusterD (talk) 01:12, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: To address the concerns of sock puppetry: The original account (Masonreese1) was soft-blocked due to having a username that represented a notable person (the article subject, Mason Reese). Because it was soft-blocked (which is performed in order to allow the user to create another account with a username that complies with WP:UPOL), the creation and use of another account to edit the article was legal. There are no issues in regards to sock puppetry. If anything, this should be seen as an issue with edit warring and handled appropriately. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:40, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Opposed No reason for unprotecting the page has really been given. The page is protected for a reason, and it's only a semi-protect. The lack of updates to the page corresponds more with a lack of new reliable secondary coverage than the fact it is protected. Asking for this decrease every 1-2 months is not going to change my position. You asked with the same rationale in October. Your own edits to the article were reverted, and in the meantime, the only edits to the talk page have been vandalism spillover, showing that there is no demand from IP editors to make constructive edit requests. -- ferret (talk) 21:28, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:FAC status or work towards it isn't something that gets special breaks, stakes or sway when it comes to admin actions, at least formally, to that extent. El_C 16:33, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Although, we provided many reliable source of information demonstrating the origin of Harissa, this was met with unilateral rejection with no valid reason.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. IceWelder [✉] 14:23, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. IceWelder, why not try ironing out the malware vs. scheme dispute on the article talk page? On the face of it, you seem to be skipping WP:DR steps with this request. You have not explained why this is disruptive editing vs. content dispute. Next time, for similar requests, even a brief explanation beyond the boiler plate Persistent vandalism would probably be useful — because, within the limitations of this forum, at least, how can this not be viewed as WP:NOTVANDALISM? El_C 17:48, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@El C: This is not a content dispute. One user keeps claiming that a piece of content is malware just because they don't like what it is used for (digital rights management). Their edits have no grounds whatsoever and does not appear likely to cease their edit war. IceWelder [✉] 17:50, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, is this a bad "scheme," or a good one, as in an umbrella of (good) services? Did you ask for WP:RS? Even mention its existence, requirement? Otherwise WP:ENGAGE? You're not painting a complete enough picture for me. El_C 17:54, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"Scheme" as in "service" or "product", neither bad nor good. I wrote the article but didn't know what to call it since it is integrated into the consumer product. I used the wording from the comparable SecuROM now. One way or the other, the IP's edits were in bad faith. IceWelder [✉] 18:00, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So scheme ≠ scam, got it. Bad faith how? El_C 18:27, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is DRM and has a negative perception in the video game community because it can negatively impact game performance. Calling it malware is intentionally misleading, especially when doing so over and over. IceWelder [✉] 18:34, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Are you sure that's the reason? Did you ask? You also didn't answer my questions about WP:RS, WP:ENGAGE, etc. You're still falling short of proving that you didn't skip steps in the WP:DR process (i.e. obvious bad faith). DRM is everywhere, so what's special here? El_C 20:41, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No reliable source calls it malware, if that's what you want to hear. What's special here? Nothing (maybe apart from the reputation), and just like everywhere else, DRM can be a nuisance but is not malware. I could try to ENGAGE with the user, but I've seen these editing patterns time and again on various topics and in my experience, editors like these (and especially IPs) never reply. This why I often need to come here to ensure WP:BRD/WP:STATUSQUO. IceWelder [✉] 21:03, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
IceWelder, well, I've engaged with them. It took me all of 5 seconds. So, I don't know what to tell you. El_C 21:16, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:ENGAGE doesn't cover warnings; it appeared to me like you wanted me to start a discussion that would never get any attention from that user. Obviously, I also use warnings where useful, but this user has a new IP every day -- you only warned the third one. Expectedly, the user just returned with a fourth IP to do the same edit again. IceWelder [✉] 22:32, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. WP:ENGAGE covers engagement, which user warnings are, also. Now, imagine if you used my protection summary in any of your reverts, so they'd at least get a chance to see those policies linked in the revision history. Imagine also if you added {{uw-unsourced2}} to the first IP talk page? Consider how much longer this discussion took compared to doing either or both of those things.

Declined I went and re-added the information they were trying to. They were putting the source in the edit summary because they didn't know how to do it right. This is clearly not a case of being disruptive; they were trying to do it correctly. Jayron32 18:36, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That bit yes I see, and thanks for updating it. However, it turns out that the new editor is actually a paid employee of the charity (their social media manager) and while editing as an IP removed some past controversy about the charity diff - effectively censoring the article. The editor has been informed about the implications of their COI. 10mmsocket (talk) 18:43, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of emergency workers killed in the September 11 attacks

Unprotection: This was protected as a high-traffic page on the date of the 9/11 attacks. Indeed, it was clear that many people were searching for such an article on 9/11, though now, I doubt that it is as high traffic as it was then. Among Us for POTUS (talk) 02:44, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about this. Under its original title Emergency workers killed in the September 11 attacks, it was protected in 2011 by NawlinWiki a full 10 years after the incident. When the article name changed earlier this year, Valereee transferred the protection. This is a highly visible page around September 11 every year, so I would be hesitant to unprotect it. I would like NawlinWiki or Valeree to weigh in. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:31, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jayron32: There has been other disruption besides this one user, starting shortly after the previous page protection expired. Funcrunch (talk) 17:44, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, there have also been a similar number of good edits from new accounts and/or IP addresses, so I'm leary as yet to protect. The proximate disruption has been blocked, and taken care of. I'd rather manage this with blocks for now, with no prejudice towards a protection in the future if blocking becomes impractical. --Jayron32 17:59, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jayron32: Just reverted another one, but OK. Funcrunch (talk) 19:29, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jayron32: The only edits by unregistered or new users that have stuck since the last protection lifted AFAICS are clear COI ([42][43]) and a likely copyvio ([44]). How about pending changes protection? Nardog (talk) 19:51, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Pichemist, you say IP editors (plural), but it's really just the one (added/reverted Nov 29). Unless we go back to July, which would be deemed Stale. Generally, we're looking for days rather than weeks or months. Unless you're asking for WP:PC, but disruption would have to be overlooked for it to make sense — if disruption is reverted on the same or even next day, there's little sense in adding even that (pc) lowest level of protection.

Template:Asbox/sandbox/styles.css

Reason: I don't think there's any reason why the sandbox for a template needs to be protected. Partofthemachine (talk) 02:38, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per User:MusikBot II/TemplateProtector:

Note that template sandboxes are sometimes erroneously called by non-sandbox template, and this can cause the bot to protect it. The fix in this situation is to not transclude the sandbox.

Cleaning up transclusions [46] should fix it. However, I removed the only transclusion in article space, but a few other sandbox templates are using it as well. RPI2026F1 (talk) 18:51, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Previous request: Special:Permalink/1126663277. Propose to reduce protection to ECP for the following reason:

  • There are little disruption on these pages by extended confirmed users
  • These pages need maintanence (the first should add {{R avoided double redirect}}, and the categories of the latter two are ten years old and need updating)

For the maintenance, why not put in a request at /Edit? Given the AP2 nexus the likelihood of these being unprotected/given reduced protection is fairly slim, as other than the maintenance there's little reason for anyone to edit these redirects. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 14:27, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @HistoryofIran: Sorry but this request and an edit summary of "rv, back to stable version" don't show the need for semi protection. There is no need to be exhaustive but which edits are vandalism that would justify protection? Which recent bad edits would not have occurred if semi protection had been in place? Some editors I checked are auto-confirmed. Johnuniq (talk) 06:38, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

César Arturo Ramos

Reason: The articles about the referees of all of the latest five games of the 2022 FIFA World Cup have been semiprotected during or shortly after the matches due to persistent vandalism.

Please fully protect, as semi isn’t working. This is very urgent. Thanks Nick Levine (talk) 23:43, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, please protect urgently. Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:45, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article has been extended-confirmed, but only for two days, given how serious and persistent the vandalism is here, I think months long extended confirmed protection is warranted here. Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:48, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. Also please note that the talk page has been targeted too this evening. Nick Levine (talk) 23:51, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Barkeep49: You ECP protected this article for three days. The recent vandalism was apparently serious (now suppressed) but only occurred on 13 December 2022 so three days protection might be enough initially. If you want to make a change given the views above, please do so. Otherwise, ignore this and I will protect it if asked if problems recur. Johnuniq (talk) 06:46, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Persistent, typically small edits that have been proposed and rejected on the Talk page. For example, capitalizing the Bulgarian spelling of "Bulgarian" in the language infobox (which I have just reverted, and which has been reverted numerous times).

Fully protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 16:28, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
El_C, I am afraid I do not see the logic in fully protecting the page for 3 days at the request of a user whose sole contribution (two whole edits) to Wikipedia has been to 1) make a controversial edit without taking any part in the talk page discussion, b) immediately after come here to request article protection. This begs to be looked into. Surtsicna (talk) 17:03, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Surtsicna, the requestor is of no consequence. I mean, it's obviously suspect, but that'd be an WP:SPI matter. If you happen to figure out your issues with DDMS123 before the protection expires, let me know so I can unprotect early. El_C 17:12, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The dispute with DDMS123 was solved yesterday; yet today you protect the article at the behest of another(?) party who apparently registered only to make that one edit and then ask for protection here. It is, frankly, bizarre. Surtsicna (talk) 17:18, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Surtsicna, I, at least, am not gonna always check for user talk pages split discussions.

Talk:ChatGPT

Reason: Shouldn't we at least be able to propose possible edits to this page? Here's one I (a newly registered user) want to propose:

The suggestion is to add a header saying "known use cases" which would essentially just list all the various uses people have discovered thusfar for the AI tool. Such a list would be helpful in consolidating the known knowledge about this AI's true potential and enable people to get the most out of it. Socialworker2022 (talk) 20:00, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Socialworker2022: As a rule talk pages aren't protected unless the disruption on them is particularly egregious or persistent, and they are pretty much never indefinitely semi-protected. You also need to come up with a much better argument. —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 05:08, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jéské Couriano: I think you misinterpreted - this is a request for lowering protection. The talk page was protected due to misuse. @Socialworker2022: as mentioned, the talk page was protected due to misuse on the talk page, as can be seen as Special:PageHistory/Talk:ChatGPT. It's unfortunate and something no administrator likes to do, but occasionally it's necessary. Pinging protecting administrator Ohnoitsjamie for thoughts. DatGuyTalkContribs 13:48, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
While Ohnoitsjamie could of course undo the good decision, I'd just archive this by saying I'd have performed the same action, and 23 December is an optimistic, probably too-early end date.

All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 10:11, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ItsKesha, thank you very much for your work. The page is already semi-protected and I have blocked the user who has disruptively edited through the protection for two weeks. Full protection, as I guess Twinkle has erroneously asked for, is obviously not an option for any noticeable timespan. As semi-protection combined with blocks hasn't yet proven ineffective, extended-confirmed protection is currently not an option either. Please keep me updated, though. If Theatulbera continues their re-addition of challenged unsourced content, or if others join in the disruption, feel free to notify me on my talk page and I'll have another look. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:32, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, it seems that the other admin had actually increased to full protection for a week, which resulted in the protection being dropped entirely when that week expired. It was not a mistake by the admin, just a shortcoming of the software.

I think at the next Community Wishlist, I'm going to propose the idea of layering different levels of protection and blocks, so in this case once the full protection expires the semi-protection would continue. Daniel Case (talk) 19:38, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Temporary semi-protection – After just coming off a month of semi-protection, same IP editor who got the article semi-protected in the first place has picked up the same pattern of WP:DE content removal: either need semi-protection again, or a block of the IP. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:12, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IJBall, or perhaps an inline citation? Can you provide one according to WP:BURDEN before asking for protection please? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:33, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Come on, now – it takes 5 seconds to verify that this TV movie actually exists and has already been broadcast. For example: [75]. You think I wasn't sure that the film existed (I should actually know, as I've watched it) before doing something about it?! (Also note that it is mostly another editor reverting this IP – I just watchlist the article.) Anyway, this is the kind of TV movie that is not going to have a great quality inline source available to back it up, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The IP is just being disruptive. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:38, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, yeah, I see the point. It's just tough to make a decision when one editor stubbornly removes material about a living person that lacks a citation, and experienced editors revert the content back into the article asking for protection.
Thank you very much for adding the citation. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:57, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotection: Redirect to article wizard. 26zhangi (talk) 19:21, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@26zhangi: It might be easier to request this at /Edit or at WP:Articles for creation/Redirects and categories rather than ask to have it unprotected just to make the redirect. This would also allow the admin to reprotect the page after creation if they feel it's necessary to keep the new redirect from being hijacked (considering the three deletions on this title are all G11 deletions). —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 20:39, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@26zhangi: Unprotected here. Please create your redirect. Since the request has been made here, the redirect can be protected after creation, if necessary (no need to make him request at a different venue). Sdrqaz (talk) 23:35, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anna Chapman

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – In addition to semi-protection for whatever period, I also request IP blocking on 49.2.116.174 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) for a year, since the vandal's semi-dynamic IP appears to last several months at a time and 49.2.116.174 has no useful edits. This user resumed the same vandalism right after Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive/2022/03#Anna Chapman expired on 2022-03-29, and continues to add "Brooklyn Denaro", claiming for a while in edit summaries that the edits are by "SVR" (Russian intelligence?), but now simply reverting without any explanation or response to talk pages. Since 2022-07-28 the vandal has been using 49.2.116.174 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), but before that was still on 114.75.148.145 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), same as when the 2022-03-25 page protection was applied. (There is a Commons:User:Brooklyndenaro whose uploads imply the same country as the vandal, but as far as I can tell the account hasn't shown any inclination to vandalism.).

[...] Just going to forget I have the damn thing. One of the other editors has also apologized (both at the COI noticeboard & at Cypheroftyr's talk). Does it still need to be brought to ANI?

Hi Sariel Xilo, one noticeboard usually suffices; the COI noticeboard is fine. WP:FORUMSHOP, a part of the consensus policy, discourages raising the same issue on multiple noticeboards in most cases. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:27, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ad Orientem and ToBeFree: I figured it was fine but wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else procedurally required (ie. did I use the wrong noticeboard, etc); I haven't run into a COI issue like this before. Thanks! Sariel Xilo (talk) 17:30, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Veganism

Reason: Debate on whether or not the category of Veganism (the essence of which is being debated) should include links to Category: Sustainable Diet and Category: Vegetarianism

Compare these two statements: (Veganism involves a vegan form of vegetarian diet (a vegan form), and that is a form of vegetarianism, although some 'radicals' disown any association with the word 'vegetarianism' and will act to enforce that interpretation.)

and

Vegetarianism is soley about food (a diet lacking a philosophical take). Veganism is a philosophical belief based on (animal) rights/justice) which also impacts diet (just like religious beliefs impact diet). MaynardClark (talk) 00:35, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yonatan Netanyahu

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Looking at the history - not just today - and this page has been the subject of edit warring for months. Lots of IPs and single-edit new accounts popping up to make the same fundamental change (or revert that change) It has previously been semi-protected and this now needs doing for longer or permanently. 10mmsocket (talk) 09:58, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really know what the last-known-good revision was, although the disputed content doesn't really look Wikipedia-worthy to me, so I'm not going to get involved in the page.

KISS

Reason: Note that I am explicitly referring to the redirect page itself, KISS. It's been fully protected since February 2009 as a result of a brief edit war and because there was, according to the admin applying protection, NawlinWiki, "no reason to move or edit redirect without discussion". A couple of tags have been added since then as the result of edit requests, which I think might undermine that rationale, and with extended-confirmed protection now being an option, full protection seems like overkill nowadays. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 20:46, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Brainulator9, thanks for the request. Ironically, extended-confirmed protection isn't an option because, well, semi-protection hasn't proven ineffective yet (cf. WP:ECP).

User_talk:Defender

Reason: My user talk page was protected to prevent vandalism and abuse by LTAs/cross-wiki vandals here, similar to what has been done on a few other projects (example), but the protection has been lost since a legitimate user created it to contact me. I would appreciate if you could restore the protection to prevent it from becoming a target for LTAs/cross-wiki vandals (which is a matter of time to happen). Could you please semi-protect the page indefinitely, according to the previous protection, which was [Create=Require autoconfirmed or confirmed access] (indefinite) and did not disallow editing only because the MediaWiki interface does not grant the option to protect a non-existing page for edits, only for creations AFAIK? Thank you. Defender (talk) 03:44, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I didn't realized that protection got lost from me creating it. My apologies. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 03:48, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Blaze Wolf: It's not your fault, it's a software issue that would show up sooner or later. Before you contacted me, only vandals have created the page, and since I'm not really active here, I didn't bother to leave a page with a redirect to Meta and ask for its protection, which would have been the best course of action, so this wouldn't have happened. Defender (talk) 04:14, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yep. I saw the page creation history when I viewed your talk page, hence why I said that if you would prefer to not have a talk page here that's fine. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 04:26, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On this article related to gun control, one or more IP editors have persistently added content that is incorrect and without any references, such as here, here, and here. They have not joined the discussion about this at Talk:Oregon Ballot Measure 114#Misinformation Must Be Corrected -- a discussion started by a different IP who opposes the measure but who nevertheless objected to the additions as counter-factual. Thanks. — Mudwater (Talk) 23:09, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Monica Gandhi

Reason: The COVID-19 pandemic response in the US is very polarized and politicized. For any infectious disease expert messaging about COVID-19 in the US, anti-vaccine hate groups are going into their biographies and editing them with anti-vaccine content. Request locking of this COVID-19 expert page for 6 months during this polarized time. 128.218.42.34 (talk) 15:51, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

+1Reason: This is a high time of polarization and politicization of the COVID-19 response in the United States. We request a short period of time of locking of COVID-19 experts' biographies on this site as anti-vaccine hate groups are systematically going into these pages and adding content that is untrue and against scientific consensus. 2601:681:5E80:1DB0:D9EC:200E:89A:9431 (talk) 15:54, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Apparently this page is protected from being created. I've just approved the creation of page Robo Form (with a space), but the non-space version is canonical. I'm unable to move the page to RoboForm (without space) because apparently "this page is protected from creation". Looking at the history for the target page, apparenty there was some WP:G11 advertising versions back in 2017. Chumpih t 14:30, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Malta

The page for the country of Malta is consistently faced with edits by unregistered, newly registered or known vandals. Unlike other pages for countries, like Cyprus, France, or Italy, the page for Malta is not semi-protected. This means that the page is periodically vandalised and edits have to be rolled back and removed. The only respite from the persistent vandalism is when the page is temporarily placed under edit protection for a few days. Please, consider adding semi-protection to Malta. Thanks.

Extended confirmed protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. A difficult case; there seem to be some good faith efforts from new editors/IPs, but on the whole it's a large net negative. Vanamonde (Talk) 06:50, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 00:48, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined A difficult decision, but with the page already protected, and PC-protection not an option for talk pages, semi-protection would entirely lock IP addresses out. It would also need to be indefinite; this isn't a single bad actor. I don't know that that is quite justified; I cannot recall cases of indefinitely protecting talk pages, though I can see the case for making an exception. I suggest taking this to WP:AN, as other individual admins are also likely to be reluctant to take this action. Vanamonde (Talk) 06:50, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I'm sympathetic, but to an outsider the IPs position doesn't appear to be disruptive, and you're on a similar number of reverts. I suggest reporting the IP to AIV if they refuse to engage on the talk page, at which point protection can be lifted. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:23, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Vanamonde93: Please could restore the pre-disruption version (and yes, I know about WP:THEWRONGVERSION, but as a fellow admin, when I intervene in stuff like this, I make the restoration and do think it should be standard practice). Thanks, Number 57 19:32, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Number57: I'm not sure I'm comfortable doing that; there's no talk page discussion, no evidence that anyone else tried to tell the IP they were wrong, and nothing obviously wrong with the content policy-wise. I don't think WP:ONUS is enough for me to make the revert in this case, though in general I'm willing to be flexible when full protection is applied.

Gehad Hamdy

Reason: I believe the disruptive editing history associated with the title of the article I'm trying to move was not about the same subject matter. I find it a very straight forward case since the subject matter I'm writing about is a notable woman who was named one of BBC's 100 most influential women in 2022 earlier this month with a long list of international honors. Her name is also cited on BBC 100 Women Wikipedia page as a 2022 laureate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_Women_(BBC))

I imagine decreasing the protection would be appropriate in this case.

Reason: Ongoing edit war over a content dispute which has garnered some productive discussion at Talk, but remains one-sided because of an IP who engages in personal attacks, battleground behaviour and block evasion, whilst repeatedly reverting to a non-stable edition of the article (14 November and prior).

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/December 15, 2022 Twitter suspensions

Reason: I will say here the same thing I say every time there is a big media circus AfD: I don't think having it protected is a good idea. Indeed, it avoids some work for clerking editors and closing admins (i.e. they are spared the effort of having to skip over a couple dozen silly !votes that don't cite policies or guidelines). However, this action carries a significant cost, namely that it is extremely powerful propaganda to the effect that we are indeed biased, or run by a cabal, or in the pocket of Big Reptilian, or just plain jackoffs.

When we AfD an article, we put a huge red notice at the top telling readers that we want them to offer their opinion at the AfD -- as we've wanted for almost twenty years. Is this not true? If it isn't, we need to change the template, and indeed, the entirety of the AfD process.

The message we send by holding a deletion discussion open to the public -- or by refusing to hold one -- will be received by untold hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of readers. Overall, the cost of alienating them seems like a rather steep price to pay for the privilege of avoiding a couple dumb comments. jp×g 04:25, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection is an effective and perfectly fine measure against disruption caused by media attention. The protection policy explicitly mentions this use-case at WP:SEMI, and the page was protected in compliance with it.
I don't think alienating those you are referring to is damaging the encyclopedia. Wasting productive editors' time by forcing them to monitor the discussion for disruption 24/7 would, though. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:52, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The template mentions that people who cannot edit can submit an edit request/use the talk page, which quite a few of them are (generally not usefully or with reference to policy, as one would expect, but we are at any rate not silencing them).

to

Neutral increase 333,287,557

In other words, change the color of the arrow from green to grey (for neutrality) by changing the "Increase" to "IncreaseNeutral". This was the case for this article before and is the case for the articles of many other countries, such as Luxembourg below:

Finnegans Wake

Reason: There is a really serious problem with the quality of this article. It does not provide a balanced or impartial point of view of the topic. The introduction, writing, and some of the claims are sometimes too particular, too vague, or from a very personal angle that could be called biased. I wanted to fix these issues myself, but someone reverted them. I tried to voice my concerns on the talk page, and nobody responded. It currently feels that this page may be managed by one or some people that feel some level of personal attachment to it but are not actually the kinds of authoritative or at least neutral supervisors that the page actually should have. In other words, there may be some people protecting it article, but they are not actually protecting it properly or in a good or correct way. It's almost more like being non-collaborative, in my humble opinion. I want some kind of new form of support to come to some kind of public agreement about what the article should be like so we can make it without having any kind of competitive edit reversions. 2A02:3033:406:8FEA:653C:143:6CCD:3AB9 (talk) 11:43, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(for additional context: The two requests about Republic of Crimea and Autonomous Republic of Crimea were on the border of "unnecessary" and "belated", but I do protect such pages if there have been violations of the restrictions and ideally if users request protection. But when this request here appeared, I think the line to "unnecessary" was really crossed.) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:52, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Vandalism from unregistered account and old report of an edit war, but apparently the most frequent problem is recurring reports, from more than one user, of unnecessary, "nonconstructive," "trivial," and un-sourced edits from unregistered accounts.

2002 FIFA World Cup

Reason: I have uploaded the event logo (File:2002 FIFA World Cup logo.png) in accordance with all the rules established by Wikipedia for using a copyrighted logo (reduce size, for event/brand identification purposes only). It turns out that there is a conflict, in which the user JustDan7178 replaced the image that I had changed by another one that only has the written part of the logo (removed the part of the visual image). Even the file I uploaded had received a deadline to be deleted because the image was not used in any Wikipedia article, at which time I found out that there was this change. In order to settle this issue, I ask for the protection of the page. Egtj (talk) 21:41, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fordham University

Reason: This page was temporarily semi-protected today, but as seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fordham_University&action=history&offset=20220916090035%7C1110582897&limit=500 vandalism and nonconstructive edits are a longtime problem, occurring for at least four years. The revision history shows many edit reverts. I suggest permanent semi-protection, since a two day protection will not stop this recurrent problem. The disruptive edits are not caused by a momentary news event or edit war between a few users. Indefatigable2 talk 02:28, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This page has no protection history before today's application. Permanent semi-protection is normally reserved for those cases in which there exists a lengthy history of lesser protection regimes which have not worked. I would be acting outside of norms of protection policy if I granted more than a temporary semi protection today. A period of pending changes may actually be a better solution long term, since the page receives intermittent disruption. I'm happy to hear differing points of view. BusterD (talk) 02:42, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I almost suggested pending changes protection. Maybe that would be the better solution. Indefatigable2 talk 02:58, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Indefatigable2, pending changes protection is effective against pure, obvious vandalism. This isn't the case here; we can't expect reviewers to look at these diffs and to see a need for immediate reverting. You may like to apply for the permission to gain a better overview about the work involved, and you'll relatively quickly notice why pending-changes protection on such a page is ineffective and burdensome. As the page is currently protected and there is no evidence for disruption that happened after the last protection, I'll archive this request. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:24, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster

Reason: Edit warring, IP editor reverting and threats in edit summaries. Content which breaks WP:NOTGUIDE has been recreated on Reddit so no longer needs to be hosted on Wikipedia. The constant back and forth puts all of us in danger of edit wars and 3RRs so putting here to return to protection for all sides to cool off.

Lady and the Tramp (2019 film)

Reason: Extremely high level of IP vandalism going back nearly two years. This page needs to be protected indefinitely. Every single time we've removed the page protection for this same problem on this page, it immediately starts again. The same ungrammatical nonsense in various iterations (either something about Jim Dear realizing Tramp is not vicious but at the same time saying he is, or something about the dogcatcher being either arrested or executed, but it's hard to tell because it's always in hideous grammar). It's different IPs and sometimes even named users, but if you care to search the history you'll see this exact same edit can be traced back to July 2021. Possibly farther. It needs to stop. If you want me to find it and post every diff, all 40 or 50 of them, I can. EEBuchanan (talk) 06:29, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Whoever's doing this was also brazen enough to change all the "Do Not"s in the hidden notes to "Do"s, before deleting the hidden notes entirely. When I reverted it the first time, back to where I saw the hidden notes last, I only realized afterwards that these edits had been done and I had to correct it as well. Whoever's doing this, They're determined enough that this has gone on nearly two years, and starts up after every protection template expires, as I said. Hence needing an indefinite block.

Reason: Today, Google decided to highlight her life, which unfortunatley led to a mass influx of vandalism.

As today is her birthday and as all Google users are exposed to her Wikipedia page today it would be irresponsible to leave her Wikipedia page unlocked - As rampant transphobic changes, such as the change of all pronouns to the male form, are to be expected with an increase of users on the page.

Reason: Rewriting this because the last request was poorly worded on my part. It was hastily added before a discussion could be completed in the talk page about a recent comprise edit. If lifted, it will not be written in but it will force the other user to discuss without a moderator shutting down the discussion.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – An upcoming video game based on the Wizarding World intellectual property, better known as Harry Potter.

We're getting closer to the release date and as such the marketing will pick up steam; with reviews this will lead to an increase of attention. I'd think that at least a months-long edit protection is needed. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 09:10, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Python (programming language)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – I would like to propose Python (programming language) for indefinite semi-protection, given that:

  • pretty much every single edit made over the past month (~25 excl. reversions) has been reverted. These are mostly edits from newly registered users, who keep trying to add external links to their Python-related websites. Some new users also like to rewrite large swathes without citations or add unnecessary code examples. Furthermore,
  • the page has been temporarily protected three times this calendar year, and once this month.

While there isn't exactly an overwhelming number of these disruptive edits, they are persistent enough that it ends up wrapping up a non-trivial amount of community time in watching for and reverting them. So, I would think that an indefinite semi-protection is in order here. — Jumbo T (talk) 12:30, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
