Indefinite creation protection being requested, as this article has been recreated several times now, and is purely promotional and always qualifies for WP:CSD#A7. Wes Wolf Talk 01:08, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Upgrade to Semi-protection: Yesterday, List of Donald Duck universe characters was page-protected to protect against an IP-hopping vandal, as this page is one of its favorite targets to insert WP:OR commentary (and editwar to preserve said commentary). However, previous experience has repeatedly shown that auto-confirmation does not deter this vandal in the slightest, and it would be much better to upgrade the page-protection to semi-protection, as said vandal operates primarily through IPs.--Mr Fink (talk) 14:45, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – This has been deleted for 4th time now. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rehmat Aziz Chitrali (2nd nomination). . Saqib (talk) 12:57, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
Declined actually, one of thsoe AfDs ended in no consensus and one in keep. It has only been deleted twice, within a span of six years, so there is no reason to assume it will be recreated in a way that is disruptive. SoWhy 13:07, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
- @SoWhy: the bio was created by a well established Wikipedia user who was using Wikipedia for self promotion. He has recently caught socking and appearently he was using his sock team to gaming the previous AfD's. He has intentions to re-create the bio so I urge that this page be protected to avoid re-creation. --Saqib (talk) 17:49, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
Full protection: Edit-warring and persistent disruptive editing (deletion of sources)
- As already said months ago by an other contributor, the article """needs serious work to clean up the writing, fix up the citations, and remove insufficiently sourced non-neutral statements""".

Semi-protected for a period of 3 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There looks to be persistent vandalism, but protecting the main page should be done as small as possible.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing - Persistent vandalism, false and unsourced accusations regularly added by multiple IP addresses. Repeated requests for page deletion despite consensus for non-deletion in January 2016, where page was deemed to meet notability requirements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.216.134.196 (talk)
Declined A couple of things...
- The most recent AfD was in December 2016, and the result was no consensus to delete. Notability was not clearly established.
- There are no obvious examples of vandalism in the last two months. I do, however, see some content disputes, which need to be addressed on the talk page.
- Much of the recent editing has been done by anonymous editors. Protecting the page will result in collateral damage.
- So, no protection is merited at this time. caknuck ° needs to be running more often 15:47, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – The same sockpuppeteer, who appears to be indefinitely banned user SchoolcraftT, is back again requesting the same edits to distance that contradict reliable sources (Google Maps, Bing Maps).

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent violations by IP-hopping editor. Talks have been done. The series stays "present" as long as there is no official confirmation by the network ABC. This decisions have been made by other users then me in December 2016, as written in the coment section of the history of the article. Some IP-User does not seem to get this, now goes agains me about an "edit" war he/she/it has started and is just not able to calm down. Article should be protected until May Sweeps are done by ABC in 14 days and the official cancelation is confirmed.--Robberey1705 (talk) 16:13, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
- Neither editor involved in this slow edit war has made any effort to discuss the edit on the talk page, and both are aggressively warring a semantic hair split. Semi is inappropriate until they use the talk page and resolve using the way the community expects. --Drmargi (talk) 16:47, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
- @my personal stalker-Margi As you might see, this user does not know how to use a talk page. But I won't use it either, as a discussion has been helt in December 2016 in the comments. It was NOT me who suggested, leaving the series as "present" even tho it is, of course, over. Other useres made the choice, also on the article of Notorious (2016 TV series) to leave it "present" as long as there is not official confimation on side of ABC. And there isn't. I am just keeping up the given status quo, which is, in fact "present". But as you are able to see: the screeming IP-User does not get this point. Therefore a protection until May Sweeps is the only way to satisfy all. The confirmation about a cancelation will be there in 14 days anyway.--Robberey1705 (talk) 16:56, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
- Neither do you. "Discussion" does not take place via edit summary. There has been no discussion, you are equally culpable in this edit war, your approach to conflict resolution is to be the one who shouts loudest, and you refuse to work toward consensus, or even acknowledge the process. Page protection is not the answer to the problem; neither is an aggressive message to an IP such as you left on the article talk page after by comments above. --Drmargi (talk) 17:36, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
For the reviewing administrator: it bears mention that this nonsense is also going on at Notorious (2016 TV series) as well, where there is also an equally aggressive slow edit war. Frankly, the two need a little break to calm down and stop edit warring. --Drmargi (talk) 17:45, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
User(s) blocked. Each editor gave an edit warring warning to the other before their last reverts, so it's clear they were aware. I'm going to decline page protection for now; if the edit war resumes, please report it to WP:AN3. Katietalk 18:05, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – If you look at the history of the page, it has been continually edited in a disruptive/vandalism-ish way by User:GramereC (almost all of their talk page is warnings about that editing). This got onto the Editor Assistance Noticeboard and I would suggest indefinite protection to make sure that GramereC cannot continue their edits. They last edited on May 4th of this year in the same disruptive fashion, so it is still going on. This may deserve higher protection than I nominated it for (this is the first time I have nominated a page for protection) due to the extent of their disruption.

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Offending editor is edit-warring over the same content as before the previous one-week protection but in a different format, as soon as it was over, without posting on the talk page any further. -- AlexTW 10:02, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
- Full protection of what exactly? Because you don't want a line ("has yet to be announced") that is against Wikipedia:CRYSTAL to be removed therefore locking the thread so no one could edit it? That line is also unsourced to Begin with, so that's another issue. Two editors already said that that line should be removed. TheVeryHotWikipedian (talk) 11:38, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
- As can be seen, the offending editor has taken this discussion here as well, unaware that discussions are not a vote, continuing their WP:OWN behaviour and refusing to discuss properly. -- AlexTW 11:42, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I have protected again, but I suspect any reoccurrence of such edit-wars when the protection expires will be met with blocks for both parties involved in the edit-war which is frankly over a triviality. Black Kite (talk) 11:48, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
- Cheers for that. And agreed that it's a triviality, and yet, the editor insists on removing it continuously. One can only restore the previous version of the WP:STATUSQUO and WP:CONSENSUS so many times. -- AlexTW 11:50, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Random pointless edits made by different IP addresses (specifically, adding new lines at the top of the page and removing them). It's not exactly vandalism since I haven't seen them change the article directly, but it fills up the view history and it doesn't help. This has been going on since December of last year. FosterHaven (talk) 06:11, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Declined Looks like a troll to me. I see where you're coming from, but protecting a talk page shuts out a whole class of editors from being able to change anything.

Please set up a similar protection level as with other Hamilton related pages like Peggy Schuyler, Aaron Burr, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton himself, etc. Isananni (talk) 09:20, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Hold on:This might be more innocent than it looks. I've encountered two{{merge}}
tags pointing at it. I suspect it's an old documentation example parameter that someone failed to change when tagging. I'm fixing the tags, which may make this moot. See Special:WhatLinksHere/Talk:Destination1. Murph9000 (talk) 19:06, 13 May 2017 (UTC)- Ok, I've removed all of the malformed merge tags where there was no obvious discussion started, and corrected those which had at least some discussion. It was down to the instructions in Wikipedia:Merging, and some lazy or just bad tagging from a variety of people who did a drive by tag without starting a discussion or checking their work. So, that explains what was going on. The page creation here is explained and innocent (there were around a dozen pages with a big notice telling people to create this talk page). It might still be worth protecting if we expect the same mistakes to repeat themselves. Alternatively, we can fix the template, docs, or both to prevent it. Murph9000 (talk) 19:26, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes: BLP policy violations – There seems to be a lot of reversions of unsourced additions. Looking through the history, I see a lot of content about "court cases", "2017 trial", etc in edit summaries going back to April 14, 2017 which is when edit activity picked up. I did some research and found out about lots of development in this subject, including Hernandez being acquitted (twice?), him being found hanged in his cell, and rumors of homosexuality. I came here because this was the 22nd most viewed article in April 2017. There are also BLPs involved, like Hernandez's fianceé, so this is important. @General Ization was over the revision history reverting edits, so I'm mentioning them (positively, of course) since they likely saw more than I. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 00:31, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Longterm target of IP vandal. When protection expires, vandalism always resumes. ‖ Ebyabe talk - Inspector General ‖ 18:10, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
- User:Ebyabe, glancing at the edit history, it looks like there is disagreement about whether redlink items (films, TV shows) such as "At Your Service, Ltd. (TV Series)" can be included in the works listed. That work shows up in IMDB for the actor. None of the items show a reference. Perhaps it should show as a "blacklink", not calling for an article, rather than as a redlink. How is this not a legitimate content dispute? I am not familiar with how this kind of issue works and I am not familiar with this specific situation, I am asking. --doncram 19:18, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Two temporary semiprotections have not deterred several IP-editors who are using the page as an unencyclopedic public relations brochure.

I'm not blanket-undoing his edits, I'm trying to co-operate to create an encyclopedic style, but the editor doesn't respond on the talk page. He acts as an autonomous uncooperative editor. If you have suggestions for how I can reach out and try to help this editor maintain an encyclopedic style, your help would be greatly appreciated. Samshltn (talk) 14:09, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Unprotection: This redirect was protected as a result of a deletion discussion. Since there is now a new article, the protection is neither useful nor appropriate. (The protecting administrator appears to be inactive.). Modernponderer (talk) 23:15, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
Declined - Windows Calendar is currently full-protected as a redirect to Calendar (Windows). It seems evident that the source and target are just different ways of naming the same thing, so it is unclear why we should open the way for creation of a new article at Windows Calendar. Most likely, someone would come along and recreate a new article inadvertently. Agree with you that the verdict of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Windows Calendar is superseded thanks to creation of a new acceptable article at Calendar (Windows).

Temporary semi-protection due to disruptive editing and multiple serious BLP violations by new and anonymous editors. Please note that Google Knowledge Graph—the sidebar that shows up on many Google searches—does not respect pending changes protection, thus, pending changes protection would not be adequate in this case; see here for details.

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I understand the problem of PC protection re Google but if we also consider what Google or others do with the content, we can never use PC protection. Regards SoWhy 12:49, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
- SoWhy: Google's sidebar is seen by far more people than the Wikipedia page, and it uses information derived from Wikipedia. It's our responsibility to ensure, as best as possible, that that information is not libelous. Additionally, the bug that causes Google to see unaccepted versions of PC-protected pages is in Mediawiki'a API, not Google's code. The subject of this article is currently the subject of media and popular attention, and the page has recently been modified both to report defamatory insinuations and sexually-degrading insults. Pending changes protection remains viable for ordinary vandalism and disruptive editing, but if limiting defamation isn't sufficient reason to use semi-protection for a few days, what is‽ Rebbing 13:50, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Rebbing: I'm willing to accept your logic for now within the requirements of WP:BLP to err on the side of caution. However, I expect you raise this problem at the relevant Village Pumps to facilitate discussion whether we need to change the proteciton policy in these cases, until the bu in the API is fixed, since the problems I mentioned above exist in many cases, not just this one.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – A sockfarm owner is working overtime to remove references that the movie is a remake from this page. He was running one of the oldest hoaxes on Wikipedia earlier. This back and forth game has been ongoing since December last. The admin who had PC protected the page, had semi-protected the page on my request. The sockpuppetry had stopped then. But since semi-protection ended and it went back to PC, the sockpuppetry has continued, with him removing the data and references. The original admin is on a vacation and I don't want to pester her, otherwise I would have asked her again. PC was okay as long as editors were reverting the vandalism. But recently an established editor accepted the revision, in what I believe was an oversight on his part, as all other editors who had reverted the sockpuppets edits earlier seemed to agree that the removal was wrong. A long/indefinite semi-protection is therefore warranted as I don't believe that any good edits will be made by IPs in the near future. Jupitus Smart 12:30, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Unprotection: unnecessary, the article had not been subject to any type of disruptive editing. --Makeandtoss (talk) 01:14, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Ymblanter: The country of Jordan is older than the conflict. Jordan is a high level article and it is not "relating to the Arab–Israeli conflict". Egypt, for example, is not under this protection. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:57, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- I disagree and believe this is irrelevant for the discussion, but another administrator will take the decision.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:13, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- How is exactly is it irrelevant? Egypt and Jordan held identical roles in the conflict. --Makeandtoss (talk) 12:51, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- Perhaps no one ever requested Egypt be protected, which is the key element in the Arb Com policy. If somebody requests protection, the article receives protection. If no one requests protection, it remains unprotected. As mentioned below, you might want to argue that point directly to Arb Com for clarification. — Maile (talk) 13:29, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- I am posting here in response to a request from Makeandtoss on my talk page. I protected Jordan per a request yesterday, and did it by-the-book according to clarifications I had recently received regarding ArbCom decision Palestine-Israel articles. If another admin disagrees, they have the option of changing the protection. I have had no participation or vested interest in Arb Com's case, but I suggest that if Makeandtoss feels Jordon should not be part of the Arb Com decision, then he should address this to Arb Com directly. — Maile (talk) 12:42, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

@Maile66 and Ymblanter: Do you think it would be useful to have a discussion that comes up with some criteria for "broadly interpreted"? The United States has repeatedly involved itself in the conflict. Is Foreign policy of the United States eligible for ECP? --NeilN talk to me 13:36, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- Definitely have some criteria. As is, it depends on a judgement call from any admin, regardless of whether or not that admin has knowledge of the said conflict. Or if an admin has extensive knowledge of the conflict, it's still currently vague as to the interpretation. Criteria would be very helpful. — Maile (talk) 13:40, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Maile66: Where would you recommend this discussion take place? At WP:AN, Wikipedia talk:Requests for page protection, or somewhere else? --NeilN talk to me 13:54, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

- @Ymblanter and Maile66: I will email Arbcom, pointing to this thread, and asking if they want to get involved. Usually they leave such details to the hoi polloi. --NeilN talk to me 14:06, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- Since the admin who applied ECP to Jordan named WP:ARBPIA3 in their edit summary, they must have thought that their protection was justified by Arbcom authority. So User:Maile66's protection should be appealable at WP:Arbitration enforcement. I don't see a need to ask Arbcom directly what to do. Also I don't see a need for a specific set of rules for when to protect. Personally, I wouldn't protect automatically, but I would impose ECP it if there seemed to be a justification. In case of doubt in a particular case, the consensus of admins at AE ought to be sufficient. EdJohnston (talk) 17:20, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- EdJohnston I agree with you re: justification but Arbcom has taken away admin discretion in this area. --NeilN talk to me 17:25, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- User:NeilN has now opened Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment#Clarification request: Discretionary sanctions (2014) which might help to answer these questions. This is not trying to get rules for when ECP should be applied, but only how to ask for restrictions to be undone. EdJohnston (talk) 18:49, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- @EdJohnston: That was done yesterday with American Politics articles in mind but it's applicable to all DS restrictions. Arbcom has indicated they're discussing and deciding what to do for the issues raised here. --NeilN talk to me 18:54, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Declined - Unprotection is declined, since the protection appears to have the authority of discretionary sanctions. It can't be lifted without the consent of User:Maile66 unless you get consensus at a place like WP:AE. The above discussion suggests ways you could appeal the protection if you believe it is unnecessary. EdJohnston (talk) 03:40, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite template protection: High-risk template – To allow template editors to edit. Fully protected since 2008. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 03:44, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- 2 million transclusions is a lot. On the other hand, I don't think we've had many problems with changing full prot->template prot even on such high use templates. Opinions? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 14:45, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- (Non-administrator comment) I don't think that's necessary, since the template just calls a Lua module (which is also fully protected) and shouldn't need editing. I think it would be better to lower the protection of the module, since it's harder to break things in the Scribunto editor. Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}

- I'd disagree, considering that
Wikipedia is built around the principle that anyone can edit it, and it therefore aims to have as many of its pages as possible open for public editing so that anyone can add material and correct errors
is part of the protection policy. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:11, 20 May 2017 (UTC)- If Template:Navbox (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) does not cause the sky to fall with just template protection, this one should be no worse. Murph9000 (talk) 08:17, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

- (edit conflict) I agree with Jo-Jo Eumerus here. PP stipulates that no more protection should be used than needed and full protection is not needed when template editor protection is not problematic. Regards SoWhy 08:21, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
- Yet again, this has been discussed with a conclusion that we shouldn't handle unprotection requests with no rationale beyond the philosophical. If you disagree, you're welcome to handle the dozens of requests we're likely to get en-masse from the couple editors interested in making sure protection levels in the template space are "perfect". This was an actual problem in the past, not some imagined potential issue. Yes, in an ideal world, everything would have the ideal protection level. This is not an ideal world. There are resource constraints. We have few active admins. Why are we wasting what resources we do have discussing these sorts of requests over-and-over when they yield zero tangible benefit to the encyclopedia? ~ Rob13Talk 15:01, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

- Maybe just accept or decline each request and ask people to avoid mass nominations. "Don't need" is not a strong argument against anything, while "oy, too many requests at once!" is. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:19, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
Not done I'm going to decline this based on the above discussion, plus the fact that a template editor did not make the request. I'd find it much more compelling if a TE asked for the change, but this seems to be changing it for the sake of change. Katietalk 02:49, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes due to a high level of immature and unconstructive editing. It seems that at least one team, sometimes as many as three, are hit every week because there is a paramater for ownership
which is displayed as Owner in the infobox. When a player is instrumental in the defeat of another team, that player is said to "own" the team, at least in American slang. And so the "ownership" of at least one team is changed each weekend. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:24, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

- There are more, but the anons are not usually nice enough to leave an edit summary. Since the league is presently 24 teams, any anon can potentially make this change to any team article. Not all competitions happen on weekends. I, or another editor usually catch them, but having more eyes on them will be beneficial in catching this sort of problem behaviour.

- State Farm Territorial Cup Series (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- This page is repeatedly updated with non sanctioned results, as the competition has been dead since the 2011-12 season. The official website has been linked [1], which hasn't been updated in 6 years, since sponsorship of the competition left. I request this page be locked until this competition ever starts up again. Due to the high profile rivalry of the two universities - I feel misinformation as such is detrimental to the overall quality of the rivalry.

Semi 24 hours - Today's Google Doodle. I'm just gonna go ahead and stick this here because if the last dozen or so times we've gone through this is any indication, if I wait until we get to the vandalism-per-minute mark, it's going to be a crap chute for two or three hours before someone actually gets around to protecting it.

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Edit warring over list of programmes -- relevant guideline at WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Binksternet (talk) 17:15, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
- Is full protection necessary? Looking at the page history, it appears that this edit war is with mostly IP addresses. Wouldn't semi-protection, preventing IPs from editing the article, be less restrictive and solve the problem without cutting everyone out? Sunil The Mongoose (talk) 17:31, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
Question: If the IPs are ban/block evading WP:LTA users as implied by the edit reasons, then semi protection is warranted. If this is a content dispute with no firmly settled upon consensus, semi protection is not appropriate as it'd be giving logged in users an undue advantage. So, is this an LTA case, disruptive editing or a content dispute? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:09, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Declined – The Main Page is already fully protected with cascading protection settings turned on, and the Main Page itself is also already transcluded in several cascading protected pages (e.g. Wikipedia:Cascade-protected items/Main Page).

Indefinite pending changes due to a high level of immature and unconstructive editing. It seems that at least one team, sometimes as many as three, are hit every week because there is a paramater for ownership
which is displayed as Owner in the infobox. When a player is instrumental in the defeat of another team, that player is said to "own" the team, at least in American slang. And so the "ownership" of at least one team is changed each weekend. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:24, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

- There are more, but the anons are not usually nice enough to leave an edit summary. Since the league is presently 24 teams, any anon can potentially make this change to any team article. Not all competitions happen on weekends. I, or another editor usually catch them, but having more eyes on them will be beneficial in catching this sort of problem behaviour.

The official website has been linked [2], which hasn't been updated in 6 years, since sponsorship of the competition left. I request this page be locked until this competition ever starts up again. Due to the high profile rivalry of the two universities - I feel misinformation as such is detrimental to the overall quality of the rivalry.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The IP editor(s) are back inserting content there is no consensus for. As soon as page protection comes off, they are back. The last administrator who protected the page, Oshwah, seriously blundered by only protecting the page for 48 hours. This page has been protected for 3 months or longer. It is long past time for indefinite. Otherwise I will be back here in a week, month, or whatever as soon as the next temporary protection ends. Since May 1 2015 there have been over 30 edits adding the same trivia to the article that have been reverted by at least five different registered USERs including myself and the page has been protected multiple times during that same time period....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:25, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: This will be the fourth time that I have had to request that this article be semi-protected, due to frequent and unrelenting disruptive edits from an unregistered editor currently using this IP: 98.25.195.28. He is also using a mobile device and makes edits under mobile IPs, such as this one: 2606:a000:131b:e9:11e6:91ae:7126:8a01, which may qualify as sockpuppetry. The last semi-protection period for this article was six months in length, but this editor is just going to immediately continue to disruptively edit the moment the protection period ends, as he did with the previous one, so indefinite semi-protection is desirable. Jackdude101 (talk) 02:39, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
Declined I don't see how the edits by 2606:A000:131B:E9:D83:E478:6E96:16C are disruptive. I spot checked their edits to the article, and the user provides references and the edits don't appear to be vandalism. You reverted this edit, and warned the other IP for vandalism - how is this vandalism? I don't see that there's any disruption going on to justify protection. Can you explain and help me to understand? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:44, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Oshwah: That's just one of the mobile IPs used by this user. If you observe the article's edit history, all of those other mobile IP edits are him (I can tell, because they all have the same geolocation). The main reasons for why this person's edits are disruptive are due to their inconsistent grammar (I have to grammar check and revise all of his edits accordingly), and the information he posts is often in violation of Wikipedia:Relevance of content, which are ones that I revert. He also posts with a wall of separate edits each time, which I am concerned he is doing purposely to make reverts of his edits more difficult. He seems to believe that every single piece of related information to the article's subject, no matter how unimportant or trivial, should be added to the article, and the concept of maintaining the quality of the article, which presently has GA status, is not a priority with him. I have messaged him several times to please address these issues, including in one of the talk pages of one of his other IPs here: 24.88.92.254, but he does not respond to messages. The only times when he is interested in talking are when the article is protected, as you can see on the article's talk page (he was posting under the 24.88.92.254 IP the last time he posted there). Observe the poor grammar in his posts on the talk page. This is consistent with just about every edit he adds to the article, which requires someone (me) to check the article multiple times a day to make sure the article doesn't read like jibberish. Again, I have addressed this with him, but he never responds to messages when he is able to edit. This editor is a consistent nuisance, and should not be allowed to continue making poor edits to this article. If you want additional information about this editor, simply inquire with @Sundayclose: or @SummerPhDv2.0: and they will share the same sentiment regarding this editor.

Indefinite semi-protection: Immediately after this page's semi-protection expired the same person committing a high level of IP vandalism (constant disruptive and incorrect edits) that forced me to request it be semi-protected last time began doing it again, again from slightly different IP addresses coming from the same area (Thessaloniki, Greece). They keep replacing sales numbers that are official with VGChartz estimations despite explanations of why this is incorrect and repeatedly being reverted. They are now trying to justify their estimated sales numbers by applying a game's sales split percentage in the UK to its sales split for the entire world which is obviously incorrect to do and estimating, not using official numbers. Before the page was semi-protected they had been doing this every day continuously for 2 weeks and are clearly determined to not stop. They will not stop editing this page to feature incorrect information despite being told why it is incorrect multiple times. If indefinite semi-protection is impossible then at least a multiple-month period of semi-protection is ideal though they would likely return once it was over.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent additions of unverified URLs that are almost certainly scam/phishing sites. I've long held the opinion that articles about dark web-related sites (e.g. Tor hidden services) should be indefinitely semi-protected. So many of them are subject to frequent attempts to change these URLs to scam sites which endanger our readers every time it happens. Tor hidden services, etc. have no central authority like the rest of the web, making hacking, phishing, hijacking, etc. a big problem for a website that wants to ensure the integrity of its content. This article has seen some particularly active editing by a variety of new users (protecting admin may also wish to block this sock farm), and I'm requesting indefinite protection, though I realize standard operating procedure would be to make it temporary... — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:17, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

- Yes, it was because of ArbCom. Prior to this, there had been numerous other protections of the article going back a year. The ArbCom protection on it now is because of this :originating RPP, my talk page discussion on this, RFPP discussion, Arb discussion. I did it by the book, according to this from NeilN. There has been the post-protection argument, "The country of Jordan is older than the conflict. Jordan is a high level article and it is not "relating to the Arab–Israeli conflict", and something along the lines that Jorden just happens to be "a country in the region". For all of those thoughts, please refer to 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Six-Day War and Timeline of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (post-mandate period to present day). The article was protected per ArbCom's decision on articles related to countries involved in that conflict, and the historical record puts Jordan as a major player. — Maile (talk) 20:11, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Declined I'm personally not sure this comes close enough to the modern Arab-Israeli conflict to be encompassed within the Arb sanctions as its only sourced connection is the remark of a single scholar. As the article has not seen any recent disruption, and has less than 50 edits in nearly five years I am erring on the side of that we are an open encyclopedia that anyone can edit and declining the protection (I also suspect the fact that this request has sat for nearly two days reflects the hesitancy of other patrolling admins to protect the page due to its tenuous connection to the sanctions.)

Indefinite semi-protection: This will be the fourth time that I have had to request that this article be semi-protected, due to frequent and unrelenting disruptive edits from unregistered editors. When semi-protection was last requested, it was due to no sources being cited by these unregistered editors, but now it's mainly unimportant and trivial information coupled with very poor grammar and sources that are not always reliable. Attempts have been made to reason with this person (I believe the edits are coming from the same person, as they all come from the same geolocation), but despite messages to the talk pages in several of this person's IPs and in edit revert summaries, he's not getting the message. It's also difficult because in addition to using non-mobile IPs, he primarily edits with a mobile device, which adds another layer of difficulty with monitoring and messaging him, which is pointless because he never responds to messages anyway. These edits happen sporadically every few days and are also done in such a way that the edits overlap, making them difficult to revert. When you observe the article's history, you'll see a wall of unregistered edits, with a large chunk of them being reverted with similar reasons given for each revert. The article currently has GA status and if he were allowed to continue unimpeded (and someone like me was not here to police him), the article's quality will eventually be downgraded. I don't want that to happen, and I'm tired of having to monitor this article every single day to keep that from happening. The last semi-protection period for this article was six months in length, but this unregistered editor is just going to immediately continue to disruptively edit the moment the protection period ends, as he did with the previous one, so indefinite semi-protection is desirable.

Semi-protection: I use this wiki page for info on when the next set of Naruto Shippuden episodes are released and I have been using it for several years. See, beginning in January of 2016, Viz Media began releasing a set of ten to twelve episodes every ten weeks, so I have been using this page in order to know when to catch them. Today I logged on and all the dates on this page along with all the dates on Seasons 1 through 20 for the entire show were changed to week intervals. I had to spend about an hour changing it back. I would like them all protected at least until new dates on future episodes need to be added. LordShozin (talk) 03:30, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

If there is deliberate vandalism that can be handled at AIV. (FYI I am traveling so I may not respond quickly to any messages directed to me.) -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:52, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
- I understand your concern but don't blame or point fingers until you actually know who did the vandalizing. If you caught on to my IP address edits those were errors I was trying to fix in the article and then not long after I edited the page another user came and un did everything. So, everyone's edits were changed as you can see. I was only trying to help it not create havoc. Unfortunately, I cannot identify the person as the address is not clear and unknown. I wish I knew who it was and if I do happen to know I will most definitely notify you. I only help articles not break them. Going back to your complaint about it being semi-protected or going to GA status. I feel as though it should be left up to a vote. Everyone should make that decision not just one person. That's all thanks for your concern. Welcometothenewmillennium 14:57, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Content dispute - IPs changing the number of seasons the series has had against consensus, and there has been no communication on the talk page from these IPs explaining their reasoning. The dispute has been discussed on the talk page before, Talk:Mako: Island of Secrets#Labeling Season 2B?, regarding how Netflix numbered the seasons of this series, and current consensus identifies there are three seasons, despite Netflix showing four. (Netflix's labeling of seasons 2 and 3 has been considered as just season 2.). MPFitz1968 (talk) 01:20, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing by an IP hopper. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 21:34, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Also, it's the same person. With IPv6 addresses, it's normal for the last four IP groups to change like that. If the first four IP groups stay the same, then we can block (in this example, 2605:6000:f508:d800::/64) and it will fully block that person. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 22:56, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – We have an edit warring IP with an WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT problem. Please protect. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:01, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Declined Sorry, but page prottection is not a remedy for run of the mill content disputes or good faith but erronious edits. Ad Orientem (talk) 19:55, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
Full-protection: Per WP:BLP. High level of edit-warring. An editor keeps adding allegations. Off note, this pro-Iran regime editor Pahlevun is also edit-warring with other editors at another anti-Iran regime organization's article, People's Mujahedin of Iran, see this and the article's revision history. Thank you. Killian James (talk) 19:31, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Page protection is normally only applied in response to sustained high intensity disruptive editing. Four edits spread out over more than a month doesn't meet that standard. Ad Orientem (talk) 19:59, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
