Fedor Emelianenko

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent WP:DE and Edit Warring by IP. MBlaze Lightning -talk! 14:09, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

You are a very active member, which is respectable, but you seem to be so active that you don't have the time to actually learn the situation when butting in. Once again, I referenced the information I added. Where's the dispute, and where's the POV? Surely you should be more concerned with whoever accused me of "nationalistic POV"? 5.29.102.252 (talk) 14:10, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment: I fail to see how my editing is disruptive, considering the fact I have only tried to add a referenced biographical fact about Emelianenko's ancestry? First of all, I tried resolving it on the talk page. Ironically, those who shout the loudest "use the talk page" seem to ignore it the most.
Secondly, here's what the dispute is about. Emelianenko stated in an interview that he's of Russian ethnicity, when asked. I have added it to his "early life" section, with two references. However, the next thing is that it gets removed, and I get accused of "nationalistic POV." I'm not a nationalist, and I fail to see the "POV" in him stating that he's of Russian ethnicity?
Was the person who wrote in de Niro's article that he's of Irish and Italian ethnicity accused of a "nationalistic POV"? 5.29.102.252 (talk) 14:12, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Declined. This is just one IP, and the protection is not warranted. The talk page discussion already started, and if there is no progress, they should be blocked, protection is not a solution.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:29, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Bad Girls Club season pages

Indefinite semi-protection: Never ending stream of IP editors changing the cast outcome tables. Always unsourced. Oftentimes changes are small (e.g., changing voluntary leaving to forced removal). I see no reason for the first 14 seasons to be changed so often given that they are all finished. Pages have been targeted in the past by sockpuppeting (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Thestarborn1028) and I suspect that this is mostly a continuation of that socking. Frankly tried of having to watch these pages due to constant vandalism. Please ping me if you have questions. Thank you. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 19:33, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Timothy Leary

Timothy Leary (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Unprotection: At dispute is a claim in the lede paragraph that Timothy Leary was, among other things, a philosopher. Strongest opposition came from one particular editor who had been unsuccessfully edit-warring (please see [9], finally dragging the matter through 4 different drama boards, the latest result being the current 4-day protection.

This morning I made an edit request in 2 edits ([10], [11]) asking that 6 WP:RS citations clearly identifying Leary as a philosopher be added to the one that was already there. My request has been denied, [12] pending "consensus".

This is unhelpful. What we have is a simple content dispute for which the sources are plentiful. If you place control solely in the hands of administrators, it only makes sense that you evaluate edit requests based on our guidelines. Adding 6 reliable sources to cite a really trivial claim should not require waiting for a consensus. It should only require applying the guidelines, the same way we'd expect anyone closing an AFD to apply the guidelines, not just count noses. The page has spent enough time at the drama boards and administrator "help" is not helping. It's time to unprotect it. If there is more edit warring, the proper response should in the future be to go after the edit warrior, not allow him to manipulate administrators into closing it down from everyone. Msnicki (talk)

I am the "particular editor" Msnicki is referring to, but as anyone who reviews the edit history of Timothy Leary will find, the most recent full protection of the article happened because of edit warring in which I was in no way involved. The edit warring was being done by other editors entirely. I would suggest that Msnicki not use requests for article protection/unprotection as a means of pursuing a vendetta against me.

List of fastest production cars by acceleration

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Article is the subject of many disputes and recently an edit war. Edit war was was resolved and stated that a certain editors edits must be first agreed upon in the talk page. Since then disputed edits have continued to endure without using talk page, with a user blocked for 24 but continuing to edit after that. The edits in question were from registered editors so semi-protection would not be appropriate. With full page protection, suggested edits could be written in the talk page and if found appropriate would be added to the article by a moderator or approved Wikipedia editor. The page does not require frequent edits so it won't be it won't be too restrictive to other users. F-16 Viper (talk) 22:22, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Permanent Full Protection: Posting a request on behalf of Castlesierra (talk · contribs), who made a request at the Help Desk for this article to be locked down (here). They indicate that users and former employees are posting damaging information at the article, and that that information could harm the organization. A spate of vandalism last week resulted in a full protection, which expired this morning. There have been no further shenanigans since, but the previous bout was severe enough to require revisions to be deleted - direct accusations against living persons, legal threats, and so forth. Fun for everyone. I make no recommendation as such, and have invited Castlesierra to comment (and have ignored their username, for the moment). I understand that permanent full protection is a non-starter, but that is how the original request is phrased, and thus is the starting point for this request.

Semi-protection: An IP is changing the lead to say Black Power is a "form of racism" without changing the reference which defines the concept as a "political slogan".

Unfortunately, he posted on one of my talk pages last night (before it was protected) that he had 1000s of IPs at his disposal and could not be blocked. This sick sociopath will be back. Trying I do think that if you could turn on page protection when it started (even for a couple of hours) it might frustrate him. You could turn it off without fanfare after he's gone. Extinction is the direction we need to implement. Just a thought. Needs to be REVDELd regularly when this occurs. Latest spate put lots of bad links into the edit summaries.

Permanent fully protection: Since this page was updated to inform properly its tasks (removing links to files deleted at Commons), several user left messages to the bot talk page (and also the User page was vandalized), then, reverted by Denniss, Me, and others.

Template:Republican Party presidential primaries, 2016

Semi-protection: Due to a high level of media attention, conflicting reports on delegate counts from various sources and — shall we say — over-enthusiastic partisanship, the delegate count gets changed multiple times per day without regard to counting process, page history and previously-established consensus. This situation is particularly cumbersome for good-faith editors to constantly check, police and educate. Most of the disruptive changes are applied by IP or new accounts, so semi-protection during the rest of the election cycle looks like the best strategy. It worked wonders for the same situation on the Democratic side. — JFG talk 20:56, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

  • Non-automated comment: that it was requested twice and denied twice is not the issue, it's that it should be protected because an IP-hopping anon continues to add unsourced content to the page and all efforts to discuss the issue with the anon have failed to engage the editor in discussion and it is hoped that protecting the page will be a step toward that.

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – There seems to be one editor against four in this content dispute. I didn't make the edit but I tried a couple reverts to no avail. With the fact the recent drug issue with Sharapova has caused blood levels to rise (and she won't be playing anytime soon so no worries about keeping the article up to date) I was hoping for a week protection to see if we can come up with any compromises on the talk page.

Kurdish women

Temporary semi-protection: High level of black washing, WP:POV, WP:ORIGINAL, Cherry pickings and meatpuppetting. Ferakp (talk) 15:16, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

  • If I may, strong oppose. As a veteran editor, who WP:DGAF, this is a strongly POV pushing editor who seems to be adept at using a variety of forums to try to 'lock in' his preferred views on violence against Kurdish women (which, apparently, is nothing to see here, folks). Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:25, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
  • I strongly disagree with Shawn in Montreal. Shawn in Montreal attacked me personally, called me as an editor with a clear pro-Kurdish nationalist bias. Now he is following me and continuing the same behavior against me. This user has very weird behavior towards Kurdish articles. He wants to keep the Kurdish terrorism category, but wants to delete the Turkish terrorism category. He reversed my changes which were simply appropriate edits, I changed two statements against WP:POV and WP:ORIGINAL, but he wanted to kept them even though they were clearly falsified statements and sources didn't verify them. Also, I explained all edits statement by statement, what is wrong with them and how they should be edited according to the WP rules. One user is continuously using different IP address and black washing Kurdish articles. I believe Shawn in Montreal is supporting those Turks who are continuously black washing Kurdish articles. He is happy with all edits against Kurdish articles, but not happy with edits when even something than positive is added to Turkish articles. Ferakp (talk) 18:10, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Un-salt This article title was salted after two successful deletion nominations. The main concern was failure to meet WP:BIO and the nature of the article (a young sportswoman subject to sexualization) complicated creation of anything useful at the time (2007). That time has long since passed and I have written a new draft at User:Sillyfolkboy/Allison Stokke which I feel is strong and resolves all the concerns mentioned in past discussions. This was salted in 2007 so original admin is now inactive. Please can this be unsalted so I can create the article? Thanks. SFB 17:32, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Create protection: Deleted 5 times in the last month; creator responded to sockpuppet block by creating another sockpuppet to recreate the article again: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Earl Williams III and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Willywill3x. Also created once each in 2 other election years (2008 and 2014). So far, no attempts to use other titles — I suspect it's the name required for his write-in votes to count. Also, not that it matters here, but the same user has also responded to deletion on en.wp by pasting it onto Simple English Wikipedia twice so far (simple:Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2016/David Earl Williams III). Create protection until 2016-11-09 (the day after the U.S. election) might get the point across, at least for this year, though I suspect it will happen again in 2018 or 2020. --Closeapple (talk) 15:56, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This page is currently under attack by a sock of a well-known troll, who was twice blocked in the past, once by Materialscientist and once by JamesBWatson. Initially, he pretends he is non-connected IP engaged in a genuine dispute but eventually gives himself away by calling me a "known edit warrior". Codename Lisa (talk) 09:05, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Full Protection: The edit that Codename Lisa insists on making is original research 172.56.1.142 (talk) 09:20, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This protection is to stop the edit-warring, in the hope that the dispute can be, not to support either of the editors involved in the dispute. Codename Lisa, can you provide evidence that the other editor in the dispute is "a sock of a well-known troll, who was twice blocked in the past"? It isn't at all obvious. I have found one block I placed on an IP address in the same range, but there is no immediately obvious similarity between recent edits and the edits from before I made the block. Also, rather than just reverting and asserting that "It is definitely Windows XP", can you explain how you can tell that? I am not saying that yo are wrong, I am just saying that you need to justify your assertion, as we can't just accept it because a Wikipedia editor says so. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 11:41, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
@JamesBWatson: I will open a thread in the image talk page to answer the questions asked. This place isn't exactly communication-friendly. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 11:45, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Peafowl

Semi-protection or Pending changes: IP vandalism revolving around things like changing peacock to peaCOCK and peacunt. This is a popular article that gets between 2,500 and 3,000 views daily, and it is going to be the target of these kinds of edits by IP users for as long as the word "peacock" exists in the English language. In light of that, I'd like to propose some kind of indefinite protection. If that is not granted, then someone will just have to come back here and propose protection again someday.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism, often WP:SNEAKY manipulations of sourced figures. Suggesting indefinite protection, as with the ongoing ethnic conflicts in that region, there's no reason why this vandalism would be expected to stop soon.

Indefinite Extended confirmed protection: IP disruption/trolling - this is one of the most prominent articles covered by WP:ARBPIA3#500/30. Sean.hoyland - talk 11:44, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

The ARBCOM authorized WP:ARBPIA3#500/30 restriction will be enforced at that article whether or not it is given extended confirmed protection. The rule is that "All IP editors, accounts with fewer than 500 edits, and accounts with less than 30 days tenure are prohibited from editing any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict." If the rule is not enforced by the server via extended confirmed protection, it will be enforced by editors. The effect will be the same but the cost is different. Extended confirmed protection simply automates the enforcement of a restriction that already applies. Sean.hoyland - talk 14:25, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Page is currently pending-changes protected after problems with an IP-hopping 2606:6000:* editor (see this ANI), but really needs to be semi'd. The problem isn't the introduction of bad IP content that needs checking first, it's one IP-hopping user WP:OWNingly reverting anything that they don't 100% agree with. McGeddon (talk) 18:28, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Pinging Widr — MusikAnimal talk 18:43, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
Their reverts won't become visible, though, unless someone accepts them. Widr (talk) 18:48, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
@Widr:But if someone rejects the edit, the IP will revert it "back" (and this has just happened). From the perspective of the editors patrolling the page, it's the same old edit warring.
(Is there a more constructive way to handle this than by protecting the article? If this user had a registered account, they'd have been forced to change their edit warring instincts or get blocked, by now - but as a hopping IP they can just rack up another ANI discussion or warning for edit warring and switch to a new IP the next day without even having to blank their talk page. It looks like they may have joined briefly as User:Wwwma the last time that Generation Z got semi-protected, but faded back to multiple IPs.) --McGeddon (talk) 19:18, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: There's no reason why an article should be indefinitely fully protected. If it must be protected indefinitely, then either semi, 30/500, or PC2. —cyberpowerChat:Limited Access 18:57, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Paging Kudpung. Kudpung to aisle 3. Katietalk 20:47, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
@KrakatoaKatie:. If Cyberpower678 is prepared to find time to watch the article round the clock and be sure to remove the constant stream unwanted additions to it, then I have no objection to it being unprotected. Perhaps a review of its history and talkk page archives will help to understand the situation. . Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:41, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
Glancing over it, it would seem the biggest problem is that people keep adding non-notable/unsourced social networking sites. Looking closer at edit requests, those that get approved, are experienced editors, while those that don't, are new/anon editors. I would say 30/500 protection is sufficient for not having to deal with reviewing edits, and that PC2 is sufficient if we want to enable reviewing edits.—cyberpowerChat:Online 01:51, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
Well, we can do neither of those for this article as it stands now. The options are you watch it and revert the disruptive edits, or we leave it as is. Up to you. Katietalk 01:58, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
Wasn't PC2 approved for use at some point? I occasionally see my bot tagging articles with the PC2 tag.—cyberpowerChat:Limited Access 03:38, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
It's enabled technically, but there's no consensus how to use it. There's a newish RFC about it that's not drawing any interest but I think that's because nobody knows about it. Katietalk 16:56, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
I would pefer 30/500 protection instead of other protections, I currently can't edit on 30/500 because of a low edit count. KGirlTrucker87 (talk) 01:44, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
So why can't we use 30/500 protection? It seems like the perfect protection level to keep this article in check.—cyberpowerChat:Offline 05:07, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
Because the policy, which was decided by an RfC, states that 30/500 ay only be used in topic areas authorised by ArbCom or the community. So far the community has not made any authorisations, and AFAIK social networks are not under any ArbCom sanctions. BethNaught (talk) 14:46, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. MelanieN (talk) 02:20, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
MelanieN, sorry for the bother, but can you check the page again since you last viewed it? Things are getting a little out of hand. We have two editors doing a tag-team blanking of half the article to avoid 3RR and I've reached my limit so can't do anything more without crossing the line. This blanking is being done to content that is being actively discussed in RfC. Thanks. LavaBaron (talk) 06:10, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Since the article appeared on the main page as a DYK, there have been numerous complaints by a variety of editors that it has a blatantly hostile POV. The quotes and other material seem to have been cherry-picked to attack living people such as the Queen herself. As it's her 90th birthday, this is a high-profile insult and, per WP:BLP, we need to clean this up immediately. LavaBaron seems to be violating WP:OWN by clinging to his partisan view of the matter. My vision is a more dispassionate and historical treatment, such as we find in the book Royal Education: Past, Present, and Future, which starts with the Tudors like Queen Elizabeth I. Andrew D. (talk) 06:19, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
Okay:
  • (A) The fact it's a celebrity's birthday is not a reason to blank content on WP which said celeb may find unflattering. The fact you are advancing this as an argument is absolutely flabbergasting. RfCs run for 30 days whether it's a celebrity's birthday or not. There is not a procedure for "Fast-Track RfCs in Event of Celebrity B-Day."
  • (B) It is a patent lie there have been "numerous complaints by a variety of editors." You and one other editor are blanking a section that is currently running 2-2 to delete/keep in a RfC.
  • (C) As you have repeatedly been told, you should feel free to introduce additional sources you've found. You should not feel free to repeatedly blank half the article just because you don't like that a consensus has not developed to obfuscate that material. Blanking huge sections appears to be the sole method you plan on contributing to this article.
  • (D) BLP does not prohibit the introduction of content about a living person that is less than celebratory. Your partisanship is glaring that you think analysis made by qualified sources in reputable publications regarding a politician's educational credentials rises to a BLP violation.
LavaBaron (talk) 06:25, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
Note that other editors who have commented positively on the article's POV include Vanamonde93, Anne Delong, Neutrality, Firebrace, and others. Note that the issue of the colors was resolved long ago; claiming some kind-of disagreement on this point seems deceptive at best. Note also that Andrew is quick to accuse me of partisanship, cherry-picking, lodging attacks against living people, and denying the existence of words. These personal attacks seem to be classic ownership behaviour. By contrast, blanking 7,000 bytes three times in a single day, when all information contained therein is cited to RS and the entire section is the subject of an active RfC being discussed by the community, objectively meets our WP:VANDALISM definition and cannot, therefore, be a "personal attack".
I hope you decide to come to the table and begin cooperatively editing this article, Andrew, instead of repeatedly blanking it because "it's her [the Queen's] 90th birthday" [sic]. Thanks - LavaBaron (talk) 06:59, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
  • On the issue of colours, I edited the page just an hour ago to remove garish colours from a table. The page still has that change but that edit is so recent that it may still be a live issue. I have no plans to edit the page further today as we should now hear from the many other editors involved. Andrew D. (talk) 07:14, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
On the issue of colors, I'm aware you blanked the entire table during one of your "sweeps" of the page. Fortunately, Firebrace kindly removed the colors, cautiously and surgically, for which we've thanked him. I agree all edits to the page should cease while the RfCs work their way through to consensus over the next several weeks, whether "it's her [the Queen's] 90th birthday" [sic] or not. LavaBaron (talk)
Yes, as I said, Firebrace removed the colors [55], for which we thanked him. If you also tried to remove the colors, your edit may have been undone when another editor was trying to undo your blanking of 900 words of text like here [56] (among numerous other places). We should not engage in wholesale destruction and evisceration of hundreds of words of sourced knowledge even if "it's her [the Queen's] 90th birthday" [sic], right? (I could be wrong, I'm not entirely familiar with WP's lese majeste policies.) LavaBaron (talk) 07:27, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
  • @LavaBaron: Protect because "This page is about a celebrity family", but don't blank content because "The fact it's a celebrity's birthday is not a reason to blank content"? You're utterly confused. For the record, I have said nothing positive about the article, which I believe should be deleted as not-notable or merged into the various royal biographies. Firebrace (talk) 07:29, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
If you believe the page should be deleted, we should resolve that question immediately. I'll file an AfD. LavaBaron (talk) 07:33, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
  • LavaBaron's tin ear for appropriate article content is apparent from the article as he originally nominated it for DYK [57] -- it opened (opened!) thus"
The education of the British Royal Family is the method and extent of formal education received by members of the British Royal Family. The royal family of the United Kingdom is not known for its intellectual achievements and the British constitutional scholar David Starkey has described the reigning queen, Elizabeth II, as poorly educated, comparing her cultural refinement and intellectual curiosity to that of a "housewife".
The RPP is his attempt to regain control of the page so he can force in more tripe like that. This isn't about "material less than celebratory" but rather SYNTH, UNDUE, cherrypicking, and inappropriate tone. and numerous editors have expressed concern, either through talkpage comments or direct editing of the article.
Furthermore, any time a particular article is likely to attract an especially large number of views (as around the subject's birthday) it's entirely appropriate to apply heightened scrutiny, with heightened urgency, to potential BLP concerns. The idea that the article should be full (!) protected might charitably be called delusional. EEng 07:37, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
I see now that LavaBaron, consistent with his habit of opening multiple RfCs simultaneously on the same article at the drop of a hat, has now opened an AfD on his own article. This is ridiculous. The subject is obviously notable, and this is just more of LavaBaron jumping on his horse and riding off in all directions. EEng 07:41, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
The quotation you provided were not my words, they are a paraphrase of content sourced from RS. I'm sorry you don't like what RS says, but that's not really my problem. LavaBaron (talk) 07:41, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
No, your problem is that you don't understand how to write a balanced article free of UNDUE, SYNTH, cherrypicking, and shock schlock. My complaint isn't that that opinion is included (somewhere), but rather that it's at the very opening of the article, as a flat statement of fact, with no context, qualification, or attribution. EEng 07:55, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
Another lie, Andrew? As you know, I posted to other WikiProjects after your compatriot selectively posted only to WikiProjects like "WikiProject Royalty" to summon more fanboys. Posting neutral notices to "WikiProject Politics" - what I did - was a balancing of existing canvassing. Again, we don't destroy knowledge on WP because "it's her [the Queen's] 90th birthday".

Binge drinking

Unprotection There are no discussions on the talk page discussing a move. In 2008 a bot put the move protection template on the page. I was unable to identify the admin who protected this page, so did not ask anyone, but since protection has been in place for 8+ years I think this is an appropriate place to ask. Protection ought not be in place for this long without a good reason, and I am unable to identify any reason for keeping this or any vandalism about a move. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:27, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

KrakatoaKatie Can you tell me - what is the quickest way to identify the admin who did the protection, and the quickest way to identify the times when a move was attempted? Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:22, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
@Bluerasberry: Sure! Each page and user has logs for protection, deletion, blocks, and so forth, and the {{pagelinks}} and {{userlinks}} templates conveniently contain a link to the public log. It's up above in this very section. You can filter by the kind of log you want to see. There's a caveat here, though - if the page was deleted and recreated, the logs won't always carry forward depending on how the recreation was done. Before we had revdel we had to delete the whole page and selectively restore versions (which was a real PITA for pages with hundreds of edits), and that's what was done in this case so the logs did carry forward. Likewise, sometimes the logs (particularly the protection log) don't always move with a page, and I have no idea why. But there they are. :-) Katietalk 14:49, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
KrakatoaKatie I see - thanks. I have hardly experimented with this.
Other questions:
  1. Can you help me interpret part of the log? It says that on March 7 2014 Graham87 restored the page. There seems to be no record of anything being deleted, so why is there a record of a restoration? Is there another deletion record somewhere?
  2. What seems to be the last move was done in 2008. I think you are calling the person doing the vandal move an IP, when actually they seem to be a registered account which is not autoconfirmed. Nowadays accounts which are not autoconfirmed cannot move pages, but they used to be able to do so, right? If that is correct, we still now have protection from this kind of vandalism without page protection, right?
  3. It is not bad in general to use indefinite page protection? I am just seeing one case of vandalism in the logs, and the response has been 8 years of protection. I am not aware of other factors to consider. Is indefinite protection a standard response in this case? Maybe the admin who protected has more information but I do not see more.
Thanks for any comments you can give to help me better understand general rules and practices for this case and future ones. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:02, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Absolutely. The page logs can be fascinating. I'd move this to your talk, but I think it's relevant to the discussion and might help some other users. :-)

  • Graham87 restored some normal vandalism that he felt shouldn't have been deleted when NawlinWiki had to delete and restore the page. It's the equivalent of restoring the visibility of something that was revdel'd.
  • Here is the move log. See the redlink to Binge drinking is awesome. No, really.? That was the target of the move. Page moves are edits, and they show in the edit history. I should be able to see deleted versions, but I can't, so it's likely there were more page moves to targets containing profanity or BLP issues that have been oversighted.
  • What I was saying in my very first comment was that the last IP edit, this one, was an attempt to change the title.
  • You're correct that non-autoconfirmed accounts can't make moves, but we used to have a lower threshold for autoconfirmed status (can't remember what it was). The account that made this page move was possibly Grawp and it was autoconfirmed when the vandalism occurred (it has deleted contributions that you can't see). That was Grawp's MO, as I recall - he would create the socks months prior, then make a few edits the day he wanted to strike. I know WoW used to do that.
  • There are a few rare cases where indef full protection is necessary, some pages where indef semi-protection is necessary, and many more cases where indef move protection is necessary. (There's a unprotect discussion in the RFPP logs and at WP:AN right now about one of them.) It's almost always applied after an escalating length of protection hasn't ended the disruption. I've done it a few times (you can look in my protection log - there's a link on my user page) but I usually limit my edit semi-protects to one year. My tolerance is much lower for BLPs. I don't put up with much nonsense on BLPs and I think most admins feel the same.

I think that covers all your questions. If not, smack me with the trout and I'll try again. ;-) The protection log shows that the page was edit semi-protected for twelve days, which expired as expected, and indefinitely protected from moves. If you want to move the page to another title, make your case and we'll consider it. Otherwise, I can't think of a reason why the page should be moved. Katietalk 16:14, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, once Grawp had targeted a page, it was standard procedure to indefinitely move-protect it. I restored all the deleted revisions on the binge drinking page because I didn't think any of them were so egregious that they should have been hidden to non-admins. FWIW I agree with keeping move protection active and this and similar cases; it's not doing any harm to legitimate editors. Graham87 05:38, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
You really haven't lived until you're monitoring the recent changes feed in IRC and you see Grawp or Willy on Wheels do 30+ page moves of some pretty highly visible pages to really disgusting targets in the space of 10 seconds. All hail the edit filters. And as I think we've explained everything here, I'm going close this as Not unprotected. Katietalk 16:03, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Let us consult the MusikAnimal, who set template protection in November. Katietalk 01:19, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the ping. Given WP:PUF is now a thing of the past, should we delete the template altogether, or redirect to {{ffd}}? I'm guessing {{oldpuffull}} we wouldn't do away with just yet, as that's used for historical reference — MusikAnimal talk 01:35, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
I was sorta planning to ask at TfD about what to do with the {{puf}} template after the last few discussions still open were closed, with a preference towards redirecting the template. As for {{oldpuffull}}, that one's used for past PUF discussions so I was not planning to do anything with it, yes.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 05:50, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Happy with unprotection as and when necessary, but this should not be redirected to FFD as that would cause problems with some scripts. Instead, once all old cases are closed, the template should be replaced by a warning saying "this template is no longer in use, please do <foo> instead". Stifle (talk) 10:05, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Rafael Bienvenido Cruz

BLP, U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, ALLEGATION OF LINK TO ASSASSINATION

Temporary full-protection: There is a National Enquirer story titled: Ted Cruz's Father linked to JFK assassination.[69] There is now a second source,[70] but that story says a tabloid is making claims, along with counter claims that This is another garbage story in a tabloid full of garbage, and that The explosive suggestion that Cruz’s father would have had any affiliation with Oswald is not corroborated in any other way.

Edclass66 has been trying to include this in the article three days in a row, and been reverted by three different editors. (History link.) Page protection is appropriate to ensure neither they, nor anyone else, try to re-add this tabloid story to the BLP without consensus. In talk page discussions Edclass66 has been warned that this is a BLP issue and that edit warring negative material into a biography may result in a block. A stern warning, or possibly even a block, may be warranted to ensure they do not try to insert this on some other page without consensus to do so. Alsee (talk) 10:21, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – This is a featured article about an extinct rat which has not seen any non-superficial edits since 2010 other than the fact that, since September 2015, a number of anonymous users have been insistent that the article should mention that the species was mentioned on a particular vlog. Not surprisingly, there is nothing resembling a reliable source for this.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Since the previous request was rejected a few or several days ago, predictable attacks on the subject haven't stopped. More or less likely fans of Kesha, whose case against him was rejected by the judges. Or maybe they believe in her. I'm not confident that renewing pending changes would help matters as the attacks will continue. Nevertheless, if that's too much, I don't mind pending changes renewed.

Template:Table

Unprotection: From create=sysop to create=templateeditor to allow me to move Template:Table/sandbox to Template:Table. This template serves a completely different purpose than the class="wikitable " template that was previously deleted (which tried to replace the entire table syntax), is not redundant to wikimarkup like the previous template, simplifies CSS class specification (for example, from class="wikitable collapsible autocollapse" to {{table|auto}}), mirrors the functionality of many non-Wikipedia wikis that use a {{table}} template to specify table styles (such as sv:Template:Table, [71], [72], [73], [74], [75]), and makes Wikipedia compatible with the legacy version of the excel2wiki tool.

MISPL

Salt: I first came across this page 22 April. It's been nominated for speedy twice by me, and most recently today by Katrinamoris2014. Both my noms were accepted by two different admins, and the most recent nom has yet to be considered. It just keeps getting recreated. No idea if it was created prior to my first patrolling it four days ago.

The creator seems to be a series of SPA socks. For instance, the latest iteration Bookerwiki, began editing 30 minutes after the last MISPL was deleted, and their first post was to JohnCD's talk, defending the article ostensibly created by "another" user. This was less that 24 hours before they created exact article again. TimothyJosephWood 13:25, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Akira Amari

Pending changes: Quite a few times this month, an IP has gone on a mini-spree of adding the Chinese pronunciation to the names of Japanese subjects, in particular politicians. They do up to about 10 articles in one time. As you can see from the article history, Akira Amari has been targeted the most as far as I am aware, having been edited 5 times in two weeks. I wouldn't call it a "high" level of IP vandalism, but it is a bit time consuming to have to hunt down all of their edits after one appears in my watchlist. There may well be other articles too which have not come to my or anyone else's attention yet. Protecting one article may not stop the person, but I am hoping it gives the message that the additions they are making are not welcome. As it is a different IP each time, I can't see the point in asking for them to be blocked. If there is a better way of addressing this (other than watchlisting the biography of every Japanese person) I would be happy to hear it. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:04, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Comment: I'm noticing the last semi-protect lasted two months, and that this page has been frequently targeted by the socks listed in that SPI since at least December (a good % of the last 250 edits have occurred in that time, much of which are edits by these socks along with reverts of those edits). I have a hunch they may still be at it in six months, though I'm hoping the sockmaster(s) will find something else to do, outside of Wikipedia, by then. Wishful thinking.

Nicolás Maduro

Pending changes: persistant vandalism by multiple users who haven't logged in; IP addresses geolocate to many different countries; also, a living person; also, the head of state of a country; also, a controversial figure. Vandalism often takes the form of changing his birthplace or changing his title from "President" to "Dictator" or replacing text with personal attacks. I previously requested semi-protection 18 April 2016, which was denied, but the page has been vandalized 11 times by 7 different IP addresses in the 9 days since then, to say nothing of the vandalism that first made me request semi-protection. If semi-protection was too strong, how about pending changes? --Akhenaten0 (talk) 15:07, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent sockpuppetry changing details about Green Day to false information. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Никита-Родин-2002. I am specifically requesting pending changes instead of semi-protection to make it easier to track this sockmaster. Due to how persistent they've been, there are concerns that semi-protecting every page they vandalize excessively would just cause them to move to pages that aren't being watched by the editors following them around. ~ RobTalk 12:57, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

They previously asked an admin to unblock the page, which appears to have been denied. The block was made after the article was speedily deleted in June 2013 [80]. I am asking that the page be allowed to be created. Again, I have a conflict of interest as an employee but feel the article written adheres to neutral standards described here [81]. Thanks for looking into this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bahdlee (talk • contribs) 23:41, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

The draft seems OK to me now, with a variety of sources that establish notability. However I'm going to notify Dabbler about this request, as he was involved in earlier discussions about this page and knows a lot more about trampolining than I do. Graham87 11:05, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

I was one of the original objectors to the first page because it was a conflict of interest and also of very limited notability and was written more like an advertisement. This version is better written and referenced but I don't think that this really overcomes my previous objections of lack of notability, and being more of an advertisement. That said, it would not be unique to have an article promoting a company which has a slightly different design for a trampoline see Springfree Trampoline for example. At least the conflict of interest is brought out openly by the author. My interests lie more in the competitive realm rather than the recreational one which this trampoline is marketed in. I will post something on the Talk pages of another Trampoline editor that I know to see if he has any further comments, however he has not been active recently and may have retired from Wikipedia. Dabbler (talk) 14:13, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Do you have a draft article ready to move there? Like it suggests above, it's good to have an article already written up for a salted article subject so it's easily moved and to help confer notability. tutterMouse (talk) 13:40, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
Yes, I do have an article in userspace that is pretty much GNG ready User:The_Master/sandbox3. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 00:37, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Looking at it, I think it needs far stronger third-party sourcing to pass WP:GNG and even more so given the field the subject works in (see WP:CREATIVE). If it'll be moved or not will be up to the admin who'll consider the request. tutterMouse (talk) 05:53, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Well, I'd argue that GNG and CREATIVE are separate and that though it's marginal, it does satisfy the letter of GNG (multiple reliable sources...). Multiple is just more than one. But I'll leave it to you guys to determine. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 01:24, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
It scrapes by GNG, the notability policies for creative professionals are seperate so even if it passes GNG (multiple does means more than one but fails on the reliable sourcing front) but yeah, it's not for me to decide but bulk it out, can't have too many references. tutterMouse (talk) 07:00, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

The Fearless Four (film)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated addition of unsourced information. Uncredited roles are being added to the cast list without a source, and I can't find any source to back them up. Examples: [87] and [88]. Source for cast list: Turner Classic Movies database. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:13, 30 April 2016 (UTC) edit: I'm pretty sure now that this is a hoax. These cast names are not listed at BFI, the Big Comics Database, or even the IMDB. It's tedious to have to keep reverting their addition when someone on a dynamic IP refuses to cite any sources or discuss on the talk page. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:06, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

User:Ymblanter. This is not a content dispute, if it was, I would never engage edit war. The IP, who confessed he is a banned user (GTVM92 (talk · contribs)) is adding wrong/unsourced material. The List of Hope has won 121 seats, but the IP changes it to 125! You can ask any user who know Persian language to verify that. Pahlevun (talk) 11:56, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
User:Ymblanter. The current version of the article contains wrong data. You don't want the article to have wrong data for three days it is a current event? Pahlevun (talk) 11:59, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
The other 4 seats is belong to the candidates that belongs to both lists, as you can see in Persian Wikipedia. The user is removed two referenced sections that article needs. 5.74.0.223 (talk) 12:02, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – There's been an edit war on this article over the player's position, mostly by IP editors, but also some established editors. Reliable sources list him as a defensive end while this position doesn't match with the scheme of the team that drafted him. It's unclear what's appropriate to list in the infobox now (if anything), and discussion is needed. ~ RobTalk 04:20, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
