Semi-protection: Persistent, empty edit warring by shifting IP editor to change consensus content in the lede. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. Calton | Talk 02:36, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Comment - Semi Protect it with the description "white nationalist" instead of "neo-nazi" as that is more consistent with sources and following the policy on biographies of living persons. I have not engaged in an edit war such as Calton has since there is an exception of edit warring if the article is a violation of the policy on biographies of living persons, which the article is with the description "neo-nazi". 220.253.68.29 (talk) 04:20, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This page has been subject of frequent vandalism by one IP user who insists on using unique terms. User was range-blocked for 3 months on August 1. Block ended today and they went right back to the article to make similar changes. Blocking admin said to make another report if it continues See here. List of previously affected pages and likely future targets on the talk page here. I reverted the one edit so far, and while its not at 3RR yet, prior history does not lead to an expectation of change, especially given they returned the same day of a 3 month block.

Al-Ahbash

Reduction in protection level: From semi-protection. The rationale at WP:SEMI does not seem to currently apply to this page. The article has been quiet. The protecting administrator has declined. 2601:243:2200:60E:D0C9:C5D3:6655:BA57 (talk) 17:56, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

I declined due to rationale on my talk page: (a) this has been a troublesome article, (b) the IP declines to use any stable identity, so we don't know what they've done in the past. EdJohnston (talk) 19:15, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
In regards to "(b)", registration is not a requirement to edit Wikipedia, and WP:AGF states "[w]hen dealing with potential breaches of policy, administrators should assume good faith when dealing with the parties. Editors should not be assumed to have breached policy; rather, evidence to that effect should be produced." If I were to register an account now, it would still not address that concern since registration does not give editors access to view contributions that occurred prior to registration. 2601:243:2200:60E:D0C9:C5D3:6655:BA57 (talk) 19:22, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
Under the light of your comments which you have left on the Al-Ahbash talk page as well as your current edit to the Abdullah_al-Harari, it is quite obvious that you are not here to do any "constructive expansion" of the Al-Ahbash or any other Al-Ahbash related page but to push the very same agenda of sanitizing the Al-Ahbash which has been pushed for the past almost 2 decades now by hook or by crook. Thanks, but no thanks.  McKhan  (talk) 22:39, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
Your comment may be an instance of projection, given that the article looked like this when you created it, you've asserted ownership since then, and you've been involved in nearly every edit war occuring on this article and related articles. 2601:243:2200:60E:D0C9:C5D3:6655:BA57 (talk) 22:49, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
You seem to be back since this edit. You can twist the Wikipedia guidelines all you want to fit to your agenda. The fact remains that I am not the sole editor who has been contributing to the Al-Ahbash page. There have been many other editors (i.e. @Softlavender:, @MezzoMezzo:) too. The truth of the matter is that the current version of the Al-Ahbash page is a huge compromise (i.e. RfC about Al-Ahbash and Al-Azhar) despite all the attempts made by the Al-Ahbash to push their POV on Al-Ahbash for almost 2 decades by hook or by crook.  McKhan  (talk) 23:08, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
Seems like you "got me," but I've already indicated that I'm the same editor. What is needed for this page is not page protection but a topic-ban for the above user. 2601:243:2200:60E:D0C9:C5D3:6655:BA57 (talk) 23:11, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
What you need to understand is that the topic of Al-Ahbash is very much contentious and controversial. I know very well that why the Al-Ahbash keep coming back to Al-Ahbash related pages on Wikipedia. It is NOT about respect for Al-Azhar or academic integrity, original research, sources, Wikipedia, its guidelines or anything else. It is basically all about marketing.
They keep coming back to the the Al-Ahbash related pages on Wikipedia because these are the pages which shows up on most of the search results on Google, Yahoo and other major search engines. Thus, it is very important for the Al-Ahbash to keep all good, positive and sanitized information being posted about themselves and their scholar Abdullah_al-Harari on Wikipedia in order to make sure that they are able to keep/retain their current adherents as well as recruit potential adherents.
That's where having the "affiliation" with Al-Azhar or using the banner of "Jamat Ahal Wa Sunnah" becomes handy and important because Al-Azhar being one of the oldest Sunni Institution and Jamat Ahl Wa Sunnah being the majority of the World Muslims being Sunnis can really be good for marketing and to buy the clout and legitimacy. Otherwise, the Al-Ahbash couldn't care less about Al-Azhar or Jamat Ahal Wa Sunnah or the mainstream Sunni Muslims.
Each and every thing or word in Al-Ahbash or Abdullah_al-Harari articles have been discussed over and over and over again. You are not brining anything new to the table.
And last but not least, what you also need to understand is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a party between the Al-Ahbash and other (i.e. Whabis, Salafis) nor it is a promotional blog belonging to the Al-Ahbash where they can publish whatever they deem suitable or appropriate about themselves and/or their scholar Abdullah_al-Harari. What is needed here the most that the people like you to stop pushing their agenda (i.e. POV) on Al-Ahbash and other Al-Ahbash related pages using various IDs and rotating IP addresses. Thank you.  McKhan  (talk) 23:45, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
Your early edits to this article very clearly indicate that it seems to be you who is at the article to push an agenda, so it's obvious why you would assume that of every new editor who comes to the page. I'm not affiliated with Al-Ahbash, and I've laid out very clear arguments on the talk page regarding a statement you insist on keeping in the article. Let's stick to discussing the content. If we can't reach an agreement, I'm happy to request third-party opinions and use Wikipedia's dispute processes. 2601:243:2200:60E:D0C9:C5D3:6655:BA57 (talk) 23:55, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
One's edits and persistence speak louder than what someone claims. If you are not affiliated with the Al-Ahbash or proponent of them then why do you keep coming back after years and using the very same arguments and points which the typical Al-Ahbash folks and their proponents have been using for years, using various IDs, and rotating IP addresses, just like you. You had no answer to my above-mentioned comments either. Your "clear arguments" are a tantamount to beating around the bush as they have not only been discussed before over and ever again but also gone through an RfC. I will let the admins decide. Thank you.  McKhan  (talk) 00:15, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
I haven't "come back" with the "same arguments" at all. I've suggested that a statement be removed from the lead given that the lead is a summary per MOS:LEAD, suggested that the lead could use some mention of criticism or controversy surrounding the Al-Ahbash, and laid out my reasoning for why a statement that you insist on keeping in the article is a violation of WP:NOR, which is something that doesn't seem to have been addressed before regarding that content. 2601:243:2200:60E:D0C9:C5D3:6655:BA57 (talk) 00:23, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
As per these edits (here, posted 2 years, 1 month, 11 days ago, here and here) as well as a lengthy discussions over the years over the same points (You are welcome to visit the Al-Ahbash talk page and read the discusssions.), I see the same underlying theme and agenda of getting rid / overturning of RfC. Thank you.  McKhan  (talk) 02:09, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
Right, RfC's can certainly be overturned with previously unconsidered arguments or changed circumstances. Again, see WP:CCC. 2601:243:2200:60E:D0C9:C5D3:6655:BA57 (talk) 03:02, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
Under the light of your old and recent edits as well as the edits done by the Al-Ahbash folks and their proponents using various IDs and rotating IPs, you are simply here to push Al-Ahbash's years' old agenda of getting rid of the neutral statement of "The AICP claims to run its Islamic schools in affiliation with Al-Azhar, a claim which has been denied by Al-Azhar." and sanitize this article and other Al-Ahbash related articles as per their promotional material as it hurts their marketing and financial bottom-line. And the way you are talking and keep on referring to RfC and twisting the other Wikipedia guidelines, it seems that you have done your "homework" of canvassing and fully prepared. This will not be the first nor the last time that the Al-Ahbash are trying to have their way on Wikipedia. I will let the editors and admins see through it.  McKhan  (talk) 03:26, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
Declined. The lengthy exchange demonstrates that the time has not come for protection of this article to be lifted. Favonian (talk) 15:37, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Given the repeated attempts by new or unregistered editors to remove longstanding sourced content, and lack of discussion at the talk page, I'm installing PC protection. If consensus to remove the material is reached at the talk page, the protection can be undone. MelanieN (talk) 18:36, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Comment - This is the featured article today. See Wikipedia:Main Page featured article protection. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:09, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
The template at the top of that page states that it is a "former Wikipedia guideline, no longer backed by community consensus" - so what's the current consensus? PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 14:20, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
According to this discussion, more or less deprecated I guess? Personally, I'd set the bar a little higher for protection on the TFA, but I would imagine TFAs get regularly protected as they'd be the most prominent lightning rod for lazy, casual vandalism/test edits. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:31, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
Ohnoitsjamie: I believe the nomination of articles as TFA will increase amount of IP vandalism, so page protection would be necessary. 180.244.123.24 (talk) 18:57, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
I would have semi-ed it at the time this nomination was made. But now I see it has been an hour and a half since the last vandalism edit, so I guess we leave it alone? -- MelanieN (talk) 23:03, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Small penis rule

Reduction in protection level: From semi-protection. There doesn't appear to have been any vandalism in the past decade. The protecting administrator is inactive. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 01:04, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Declined. This is too obvious a target for schoolboy vandalism to be unprotected. The absence of vandalism merely indicates that the semi-protection works as intended. Favonian (talk) 16:13, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
Wouldn't that be a preemptive measure? WP:SEMI provides that "Semi-protection should [not] be used as a preemptive measure against vandalism that has not yet occurred". The article appears to have been vandalized only 4 times over the course of 14 years (and all 4 instances were more than a decade ago). 207.161.86.162 (talk) 18:26, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
IP 207....162, did you not read User:Favonian's explanation? Do you do anti-vandalism work? Do you have anything other than an aspirational argument for why in a perfect world we'd never have to protect articles like this? I assure you that the second this article is unprotected, it will be descended on by every eleventh-grader in the English-speaking world, for starters. Please be realistic and don't argue just for the sake of arguing, which is what your objection absolutely appears to reflect. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 16:50, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Lucien Wong

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – One month of New York IPs' attempts to add a supposed 24-year-old personal and legal scandal to the page of the current Attorney-General of the Republic of Singapore [9] [10] [11]. Claims are that this is public knowledge and widely reported, but after a month of this most of the sources provided do not mention him by name (e.g., the clipping circulating in legal circles). The best so far (and I don't think it is sufficient) is a something by The Online Citizen discussing a viral message about the incident, which The Online Citizen "understands" to concern Wong.

Joseph Safra Jacob Safra Edmond Safra Moise Safra

Indefinite Protection: Persistent IP and newly created accounts vandalism. Please protect Joseph Safra's, his father's Jacob Safra and his brothers' Edmond Safra and Moise Safra pages permanently. IP users and newly registered users created accounts continue to change their nationality from Lebanese to Syrian or to Syrian Lebanese, or changing their place of birth or ancestry even after primary sources have been provided both on their pages and their talk pages that clearly state all of them are Lebanese by nationality just like their father not Syrian nor both. Their father was born in Aleppo but their father's official documentation as well as all the three brother's official documentation proves they all had Lebanese nationality not Syrian. All of the brothers were born in Beirut, Lebanon as proven by the official documentation.

Because only someone whose father is Lebanese can obtain nationality, Joseph Safra's grandfather had to be Lebanese as well as per the Lebanese law so the Syrian ancestry of the Safra family has not really been proven by official documentation and there are reliable sources that say the family is originally a sephardic family from Northern Lebanon, not Syria. All of that is explained in the each one of the family members Talk Page. A note was added a while ago on the respective part of their wikibios about not changing their nationality, ancestry nor place of birth and pointing to Talk Page for evidence/sources/discussion but the notes are being constantly disregarded.Chris O' Hare (talk) 18:20, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. I think you meant to request create protection, but the same decline applies. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 03:18, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
@Ivanvector: It's my understanding that what you linked applies to things such as mainspace/project space/etc, and that user pages or its subpages may be protected at user request (with obvious exemptions such as user talk pages), and do not need to have been vandalized for that. It's often common for sysops to protect their own user pages when they have not been vandalized at all under that same rationale. And yes, what does apply here is create-protection, since my user page does not exist. Is there a seperate venue for that as well? It was my understanding that it is done through here.

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Addition without references, use diff IP for disruptive editing. Aleenf1 11:39, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

  • Non-admin comment Aleenf1, I see this article is more likely to be semi-protected instead because none of autoconfirmed users that adding unsourced content, just multiple IPs that vandalize the article whose that edit was reverted by autoconfirmed users. Meanwhile, an ECP also intend to have distruptive behavior before, so is more likely a content dispute for me. 36.76.239.33 (talk) 12:01, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

You're just ridicolous: you crying again to get what you want. I explained my reasons: the two broadcasters are in the same situation of Futbol TV and Uzreport for Uzbekistan and you don't want to admit it, so you invented those phantomatic threats and just reverted without any explanation, nothing. It's just too much for you to admit that you're not right just for once, but it's also clear that it's incoherent your position about that table. It's worse than trying to explain it to a child, because what matters for you it's just that your version is better than the ones of everyone else. And the sad thing is that the others here will give you what you want and won't even try to understand or verify what is wrong in that table, because a spoiled child should always get what he wants. Grow up. --37.163.41.239 (talk) 13:25, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
Declined @Aleenf1: Sorry but an admin cannot adjudicate an issue like this. I see comments on article talk, but they are mainly thoughts about other editors. Please start a new section on talk with a brief explanation of what is wrong with the IP's edits. Don't mention the previous history or claims of disruption, just stick to why your revert is desirable.

2020 United States Senate election in Kentucky

Temporary semi-protection: IPs repeatedly adding unofficial results/declaring a winner. ― Tartan357 (Talk) 20:51, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Question: @Tartan357 and Sdrqaz: is there consensus to remove this information? And is this a content dispute, or are the IPs adding obviously problematic material? SarahSV (talk) 22:23, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
SlimVirgin, there is not yet a consensus on how to call these races. IPs are adding projections from various news networks, which are not official results. See Talk:2020 United States Senate elections#Declaration of winners based on AP projections. We will likely apply the consensus determined for calling states in the presidential election, which is still under discussion in this RfC, to the senate races, as well. We aren't calling races yet. Regardless, the IPs are adding winners and vote totals without even citing any sources. They're likely getting that information from a myriad of news projections. ― Tartan357 (Talk) 22:27, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
SlimVirgin, I'm working on properly adding partial results for these races, but adding winners while the discussion about how to do so is ongoing—and without any citations—is obviously problematic. ― Tartan357 (Talk) 22:46, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
@SlimVirgin: I don't have much to add besides what Tartan357 has said. The race has been called by the AP and pretty much all news organisations, but there hasn't been a consensus on what standard should be used before a race is called on Wikipedia. Sdrqaz (talk) 23:00, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. IMHO, and per WP:ARBAP2, people should not be edit warring about winners. In the absence of a widely discussed RfC clearly saying that a particular news service is an official source for outcomes, information needs a reliable source. At any rate, that should be discussed somewhere central and if an opinion is reached that the IP edits are good, anyone is of course welcome to remove the protection. Johnuniq (talk) 23:08, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
Johnuniq, thanks. Are you saying I'm edit warring (since it usually takes two to edit war)? I'm just trying to keep unreferenced information out and maintain some consistency in how the races are called (not declaring winners myself). Please let me know if you think my reverts have been inappropriate. ― Tartan357 (Talk) 23:15, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

@Elizium23: See: User_talk:GPinkerton#Caracalla. GPinkerton (talk) 03:20, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
Please sign your posts; that is not what I asked. Discussing on a user talk page disenfranchises all other article editors who have watchlisted the article for the purpose of improving it. The article talk page is the proper place to have discussions about article content. Elizium23 (talk) 03:24, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
@Elizium23: This isn't about article content, it's about user behaviour. GPinkerton (talk) 03:27, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
GPinkerton, does the report you filed not say "content dispute [...] unsourced ethnicity claims."??? Elizium23 (talk) 03:35, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
@Elizium23: Sure it does, but only if you omit the crucial words "edit warring", which is what this report is about: a Good Article article subjected to POV edit warring and insertion of irrelevant claims. GPinkerton (talk) 03:37, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
GPinkerton, and in the time since you filed this report, have you attempted to begin a discussion on the talk page or have you instead vigorously defended your refusal to do so? Elizium23 (talk) 03:38, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
@Elizium23: The other editor already did so, and despite your claim no-one had been disenfranchised. Why are you pretending that this is relevant to whether or not the page is protected? It is not. GPinkerton (talk) 03:40, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Mirzapur (TV series)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Req. 3 day semi. IP editors routinely adding ignorant, sloppy content, like dead and alive parentheticals in an overview table here and here and here, etc. Or listing every name, nickname and alias a character has had, in that table. This does not seem to be consistent with community editing standards, (consider that if we're going to label one character as "alive", then shouldn't all characters who are alive be labeled that way?). And this is part of a much larger problem across Indian entertainment articles, where editors are inclined to slap labels on everything, use sloppy formatting, parentheticals instead of complete sentences with context, etc. I have it well documented at User:Cyphoidbomb/Campaign of Ignorance.

Talk:Joe Biden

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – I don't know what the policy on talk page protection is, but this talk page is being spammed by IPs and relatively new accounts that request the same thing over and over again. I believe that ECP would help more but semi is also fine. Gsquaredxc (talk) 02:00, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

I would be happier acting if any enthusiasm were shown at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Admin eyes needed at Talk:Joe Biden. At least one recent edit request was good. Thoughts? Johnuniq (talk) 02:49, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
I'm also hesitant to protect the page (and would note that if anything it would be semi-protected, not ECP). But it looks like the majority of the comments there are at least in good faith, if not productive, and the bad-faith ones could just be reverted. GorillaWarfare (talk) 03:15, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
Declined Talk pages are generally not protected, and administrators have so far been actively removing inappropriate posts. If we were to protect the talk page, we would need to set up a second page for feedback from IP and non-autoconfirmed editors since the article is indefinitely full protected. That would just be kicking the can down the road since we'd still need to monitor that page for BLP violations and edit requests. Given all that, unless the talk page gets completely out of hand, I don't think protection is correct. — Wug·a·po·des​ 05:05, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Comment TFAs are always going to attract some vandalism from new users. It's a bit of a pain to revert it, but maybe that's a good learning opportunity for new users: "anyone can edit Wikipedia, but if I try to muck it up, they'll fix it quickly and maybe block me." It could be argued either way. I'd give it some more time before resorting to protection. OhNoitsJamie Talk 02:13, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

2028 United States presidential election

Full protection until November 6, 2024: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United States presidential election, 2024 (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United States presidential election, 2024 (3rd nomination) resulted in the salting of 2024 United States presidential election until now, per the longstanding consensus to only have articles on the one upcoming election. The same holds for 2028, so it should be protected until November 6, 2024 while it is written in draft before an incumbent is known. Reywas92Talk 00:00, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Declined – This template is not used widely enough to be considered a high-risk template. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 22:22, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
This is because from searching for the beginning of the text in the template Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, the search results only bring up 61 results. Some of which are not relevant either. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 22:27, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
Dreamy Jazz - I'd possibly consider it "high risk" due to the fact that Twinkle and RedWarn both use this warning if users select the right setting. I can tell you that I've had to go and protect the warning templates that ClueBot NG and Twinkle references and uses due to the fact that a vandal or LTA user learned this, and changed the warning templates to instead leave threats and uncivil messages instead. It was a very long process for me to go back and clean up each "warning" that was left after the user changed them. Just giving a food for thought here. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:12, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
Semi-protected indefinitely. With due respect to Dreamy Jazz, WP:HRT gives as a reason to protect: It is substituted extremely frequently by multiple users on an ongoing basis (for example, templates used to warn users about inappropriate editing. Comparatively, the bar for permanent semi-protection of templates is also pretty low---about 200 transclusions---and while we don't have that data since it's substituted, I think we can assume that bar is cleared given its use in Twinkle and RedWarn. — Wug·a·po·des​ 02:35, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

  • Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. as the vandalism continued post implementation of the pending changes, 2 weeks of semi protection should keep this away. I went with 2 weeks as this IP hasn't edited before here. There has also been good edits from IPs recently, so a shorter protection to that of Shimon is more appropriate here.

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Gotitbro: Only one week because the article has not been protected before and because the talk page was last edited three years ago (by a bot). There is usually an underlying reason when a battle over DoB occurs. The long-term solution is to either remove the date if there is any doubt about it, or to post an explanation on talk with an extract from the reference and an opinion that the source is reliable. Refer people changing the date to the talk page in edit summaries and try to get them engaged to find out why they want to change it. Johnuniq (talk) 08:46, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Question Can you see evidence that they are conduct edit warring in the article? I don't believe it can justify the protection unless there are vandalism in the article. I don't see any effort to distrupt the article, in other words, most of edits are constructive. If they conduct distruptive editing, this is more likely content dispute. 36.68.199.128 (talk) 13:23, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
@36.68.199.128: there has been 30+ edits on the page in the last 3 days which have each deleted over one thousand bytes of data, with constant reverts. To answer your second question, yes, it is an content dispute, but at the same time as they are debating the content, they are editing the very things being discussed. I have also recommended mediation and an RfC which the editors gave no opinion, but at present day they are edit warring. You can view the page history which is just lots of edit warring.

Maintaining the article will be easier if an RfC results in a clear consensus. Please consider whether some other wording could be devised to avoid the nationalist edit warring. I read the quote in ref 1 which does not really justify a statement in Wikipedia's void about a particular nationality. Ask on my talk if wanted for how to run an RfC, or try WP:Teahouse.

Full protection, pending RfC being opened. There's a slow-moving, multi-day, and highly politicized editwar going on, to change the MoS on the handling of former names of transgender and non-binary subjects. There's sprawling discussion on the talk page, which has not come to a consensus, and multiple parties have suggested an RfC, but editwarring against the long-stable language in the guideline continues, and needs to stop until a well-advertised RfC actually settles the matter. As this matter crosses both WP:ARBMOS and WP:ARBGG discretionary sanctions lines, we should err on the side of stopping further conflict.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  14:02, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Declined @George Ho: My reading of the Arbcom 500/30 remedy is that while ECP is not mandatory, editors who do not satisfy 500/30 are prohibited from editing related articles. Accordingly, adjusting the permission would be pointless. Johnuniq (talk) 06:12, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP disruptive editing and insults/poor slurs - [37] Sadkσ (talk is cheap) 21:21, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

(non-admin comment) This looks like a content dispute to me, and it seems the IP is being reasonable. We include flags in infoboxes all the time. If there is truly a statement in the MOS that forbids flags in infoboxes, you should link to it. Simply invoking the entire MOS with the link MOS:STYLE is not sufficient. ― Tartan357 Talk 01:23, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Calling these edits "hate speech" is absurd. I suggest Sadko review WP:NPA, WP:AGF, and WP:NOOB. ― Tartan357 Talk 01:32, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection was requested and granted in March 2019. It was removed in April 2019, and an anonymous user added back in the reference to Mr Karat. Temporary semi-protection was requested and granted in May 2019. It was removed in June 2019, and an anonymous user added back in the reference to Mr Karat.

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: BLP policy violations – Vandalism in birh date from IP adress. There is an OTRS declaration (see Talk page) of incorrect date of birth by the person. ~Moheen (keep talking) 06:37, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

@Moheen: I have only looked at this quickly so if I'm missing something, please let me know. The talk section is too vague: it should say what the OTRS claim is (does it specify a correct date? what date is declared to be incorrect? was any reason given?). Is ref 1 the only support for the date? I cannot see an actual birth date in that reference! At any rate, IMHO such a source cannot be regarded as reliable and my solution would be to omit the birth date. At any rate, without a much clearer explanation of which IP edits are vandalism (by Wikipedia's WP:VAND definition) and how it is known they are vandalism, protection of the article would not be appropriate. Any other opinions? Johnuniq (talk) 09:14, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Declined Looking at these, they don't seem closely related to the dispute between Israel and its neighbors, and any content in them which is related to that dispute doesn't justify protecting all the other parts.

McAfee

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent spamming / sock-puppetry. Apart from one editor doing a minor edit, every single edit in the past year from non-extended-confirmed accounts has been to maliciously change the URL from the official site to a spam referral site [42]. The sock farm is that of Jouletale, and nobody notices these malicious link changes until like two weeks later. This has been going on for a year now, with new socks appearing every two weeks, with no end in sight.

@Dreamy Jazz: You recently protected similar pages such as Template:Uw-spam1. I have no idea what should be done with these but am happy with the idea of protection if you would like to do it. Johnuniq (talk) 02:03, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Johnuniq, to give you a bit of background, the reason I went round and initially semi protected is after the discussion at User talk:Wugapodes § protection of user warning templates. Based on the discussion we both thought semi protection is justifiable for templates used by twinkle or redwarn (which are not recently created) as by their very use in twinkle or redwarn for a year or so would have given them enough substitutions to merit at least semi protection. It was also noted by Oshwah that with warning templates LTAs have noticed that if a warning template is unprotected, they can use that to spread their vandalism (their comment). Perhaps Oshwah might want to weigh in here?
For the uw-spam templates, I extended the idea as from my experience uw-spam is used fairly often, with a search result for a part of the warning text bringing up 48,617 uses on user talk pages. Although this isn't transclusions and the search results will bring up a fair few results which are not what we want, it doesn't include where someone has then removed the warning later on. My thoughts were that if the template substitutions which are still present on user talk pages are 9 times more than, if it was transcluded a bot would protect, the template is being used often enough for template protection.
In regards to this protection request, the search result only brings up 4539 on user talk pages. I'll have a think about this one, but I don't think its as high use as the spam template. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 13:37, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Template protected indefinitely. We have to handle this and despite reservations above have chosen consistency (like above, it is used by Twinkle and RedWarn). Johnuniq (talk) 04:12, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Full Sail University

Lengthy semi-protection: For at least a year now, the editing history of this article has been dominated by single-purpose accounts, almost entirely unregistered or new accounts that make only a few edits only to this article. They add news items, trivia, or promotional material. I think that some of this editing was connected to this large collection of sockpuppets but that was a very large and messy case so I'm having trouble finding the exact account(s). In any case, this is a persistent problem and it's clear that one or more people associated with the subject are routinely editing the article to promote the subject. Since they're all unregistered or new accounts, semi-protection would largely address the problem with minimal disruption. ElKevbo (talk) 16:56, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Over the last few days, the page has been repeatedly edited by IPs in the 41.114. range.

Wikipedia:Requests for oversight

Temporary extended protection: Why is this fully protected? It has a potential for email redirect abuse, but extended confirmed users can be trusted with this. 4thfile4thrank {talk} :? 03:12, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

@AGK: any thoughts as the protecting administrator. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 13:26, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
Not done This is fully protected for good reason; to prevent people from mistakenly posting oversight requests to it which in turn increases the visibility of sensitive information. There are no circumstances in which anyone other than members of the OS team or WMF staff should ever need to edit this page, so full protection doesn't cause any issues; this is not a part of the encyclopedia, and as such "anyone can edit" doesn't apply. ‑ Iridescent 13:34, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
(edit conflict) It was fully protected to prevent users placing requests for oversight on that page, something which I think an uninformed extended confirmed user might think to do. I don't necessarily want to remove the full protection, though template editor protection might be useful here? It didn't exist when the page was fully protected, so perhaps it might be worth considering as a step down of protection. I would only want to really see full or template protection for this page, with a preference for full protection as template protection is primarily meant for templates. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 13:42, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
After resolving the edit conflict Iridescent explains my thoughts better. No non-oversighter should really ever edit this page and as all oversighters are administrators (from memory), full protection isn't an issue for the oversighters who need to edit the page. Although template editors are a small group of trusted editors, they shouldn't need to edit this page so I don't really see a benefit to reducing to template protection. I mentioned template protection as an option as editors with the template editor realistically should know that oversight requests are done via email or if they don't they should read the TE protected page before making edits. Template editors should generally get consensus for controversial changes, so they are unlikely to be making any particular controversial changes. However, as they shouldn't really be editing the page for any reason, they can make edit requests and this page should ideally remain fully protected (so also  Not done from me).

@Tartan357: You're right. My logic in applying pending changes protection was that it was important for people to have the opportunity to edit, but if questionable changes are making it through the PC process in this sensitive subject area, semiprotection is best.

Draft:Main Page

Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – No need for this redirect. a gd fan (talk) 18:07, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The deletion log for this page appears to be pulling in records for a different page, possibly a page created at this title before Draft: was a separate namespace, evidence of some kind of database error. The recently-deleted page has actually only ever been created twice: once four years ago, and once about a month ago. Both instances were harmless, so I don't think protection is needed.

Declined. Recent IP edits seem to be largely constructive; the only recently reverted edit was by an editor with an account.

I rolled back all those edits to the last good edit which is mine. Nothing about Richard Baxter should be added. It will never be able to be sourced.

Bloody Scotland

Reduction in protection level: to allow creation of this page. The page I've created an initial draft for has been marked as 'bad title', however 'Bloody Scotland' is the name of a recognised Scottish crime writing festival [54]. I think the title is justified as the common name of the festival and refers to the bloody nature of crime novels rather than in a pejorative manner against the country of Scotland. The protecting administrator RHaworth's talk page notes that they are inactive. I've created a basic draft at Draft:Bloody_Scotland --Rodti (talk) 14:49, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Declined Not at this time. I don't think the draft is ready for the "mainspace" quite yet. I'll post a note on your talk page about this. Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 02:07, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Mahni Ghorashi

Reduction in protection level: from pp-protected to no.minimal protection. The page is protected due to bad-citations by third parties, but these have been corrupted by third-party reviewers after initial postings that have significantly corrupted this article and the biography of the individual. I have contacted the page administrator, and I have left feedback on the page but looks like it got wiped somehow. The page needs to be cleansed of irrelevant information (minor) and unverifiable sources (minor) to be fully accurate, but those changes are minor in order to be fully accurate. I would ask editing permissions be granted so this can be done, with the oversight of an editor so this page be restored and not so truncated as to do injustice to the sujected and Wikipedia community. My thanks. SaeedEtihad (talk) 14:17pm, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Non-admin comment Suffusion of Yellow, did you see a high level of IP vandalism in the template? IMO, it seems unlikely to protect the template unless there are persistent vandalism or spamming from multiple IP users. 36.68.196.154 (talk) 20:29, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
Templates, unlike articles, can be preemptively protected. Joe Biden is indefinitely EC-protected, and will likely remain so for the next 4-8 years, so it makes sense to apply some sort of protection to a template that's transcluded there, particularly if there's been a non-zero level of vandalism.

Indefinite semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Sustained and reckless vandalism not connected to any events that have recently occurred or identifiable trends. Because of the drive-by anonymous SPA attacks using original research, ct docs, public info violating privacy, ineligible document research & evidence as ‘source’ it will probably continue.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Req: 2 week semi. Indian gossip rags, and also some mainstream sources, have idiotically reported that this article subject has received recognition by Google as the "national crush of India". Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'm not aware of Google issuing recognitions in the scope of defining who the National ___ is.

On the article's talk page, I have pointed out that this is a total misinterpretation by some jackass journalist(s) who Googled "National Crush of India 2020" and interpreted the top-recommended post as an endorsement by Google, when the source of the glowing praise comes from charmboard.com, a user-generated source. This is classic shoddy Indian journalism making a claim that is demonstrably false, and that SPAs and fans seem to be latching onto.[55][56][57] And this is just disruptive.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Tangerang Banten based vandalism resumed after last protection expired. Jalen Folf (talk) 01:30, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

@JalenFolf: There's nothing on talk to explain the situation and someone unfamiliar with the topic would have no idea what the problem is. Your edit summary of "Last stable revision..." doesn't explain how I can tell that the Wikipedia's definition of vandalism (WP:VAND) is satisfied. Johnuniq (talk) 04:15, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
The problem here is that an IP hopper from the location described above keeps reverting to their preferred version of the article despite constant updates related to this recurring event, which includes false information about previous tournaments. Can easily be defined as disruptive, and in some cases, edit warring. Jalen Folf (talk) 19:29, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
@JalenFolf: I see your edit summary and I see the IP's edit, but I literally have no idea why the IP's edit is vandalism. Please outline the problem, preferably on article talk for easy reference in the future (without painful detail, and best to not mention specific editors because WP:DENY is best). How can I tell that the IP's edit is disruptive? Or, at least can you get a couple of people from a wikiproject to agree that the IP's edit is bad. Johnuniq (talk) 23:05, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
@JalenFolf: This will have to be archived soon. How can an admin with no knowledge of the topic tell that the IP's edit is disruptive? Please give two diffs with an explanation of how it is known they are bad. That should be on article talk. Any admin who feels the article should be protected or this should be declined, please do so. Johnuniq (talk) 02:51, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
This reply is not just to Johnuniq, but also to any reviewing admin looking at this. The anonymous editor, all IPs of which originate out of Tangerang, Indonesia, began vandalizing with changes to flags here, in 2 edits. All of this users' edits, based in the same location, either have the same content as or are a derivative of the falsified information in this edit. One more attempt by the vandal to restore their version of the article was made in April before their edit warring behavior and subsequent page protections began in September. I have notified WP:FOOTY of this behavior twice already; one is already archived at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 135#U-17 World Cup article vandalism, and I just notified the same WikiProject of this behavior at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#False info on FIFA U-17 World Cup. Per request by Johnuniq, I will also copy this message to the Talk page of the article, linking back to this request as reference. Jalen Folf (talk) 03:09, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Oh yeah, the false info refers to podium places in the 2019 edition as well as nationalities of players. Refer to the 2019 Podium vandalism section on the article Talk page. Jalen Folf (talk) 03:32, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

IMO, there is no reason of that.

The conduct problem is that multiple editors are edit warring to keep the disputed content in the article, while the discussion is ongoing at the talk page. It's this conduct problem that page protection will fix. Lev¡vich 22:10, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

A couple of editors refuse to include this content (couple of lines) on the grounds that everything in Wikipedia must be peer-reviewed by a journal.

Non-admin comment Fylindfotberserk, I confirm that IP 122.177.5.90 is a same range as 122.177.228.240 so rangeblock needs to be applied to both users. I want to ping MelanieN and Ohnoitsjamie for that issue to impose a rangeblock for these IPs. I see this in edit history that edits by 2 IPs are similar. 118.96.191.51 (talk) 07:15, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
Yes. The range is partially blocked as of now, but they keep on vandalizing the articles. This article requires protection for sometime in my opinion. These dynamic IPs change fast I believe. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 07:22, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Isaacbabatundeo and an IP are repeatedly attempting to whitewash this biography or are adding material that is not NPOV or RS. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 20:53, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The cadence of questionable edits is such that it would be cumbersome for the PC reviewers to monitor. Chetsford (talk) 21:09, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Unprotection: Has not been edited in a year, and no vandalism since 2018, and its not controversial. a gd fan (talk) 14:49, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Notifying Materialscientist, the protecting admin, since the OP (that's you, a gd fan) neglected to follow the instructions at the top of this section. Favonian (talk) 20:03, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
I don't see a single constructive edit from anonymous IPs or unconfirmed editors in the article history. All of them are disruptive. There was no content-related activity when the article was unprotected before, only vandalism reversion. And naturally, protection has caused all activity to cease, because the only activity the article had was disruptive. That suggests that the only activity the article would experience after unprotection is more of the same disruption it experienced before. If anyone wants to make improvements, it is not hard to create an account and get autoconfirmed. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:13, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
There were two edits to the talk page in May 2019, both reverted as clear vandalism. There were two edits in 2018 and 2017 to rearrange talk page headers, and a bot edited the talk page in 2017. I haven't checked, but even the comments in 2014 and 2013 appear to have been nonsense. I can't see anything else. What I'm saying is that the article should stay protected until a couple of convincing edit requests are made at talk. Johnuniq (talk) 09:09, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. All of the above; edit-requests are possible if anyone wants to contribute constructively. Lectonar (talk) 10:08, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Inappropriate use of user talk page while blocked. FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 08:05, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Declined @FilmandTVFan28: On a technical level, if a blocked editor was making inappropriate edits on their talk page, the block would be altered to revoke their ability to edit that page. However, replacing block notices is not disallowed. There is some detail probably somewhere at WP:TPG that says what a blocked editor may not remove, but that relates to when they have an active unblock appeal.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – recent drama involving pokimane has resulted in increased vandalism to the page. Troutfarm27 (Talk) 09:29, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It was previously semi-protected for a year, which expired in October. Since then it has seen a constant stream of vandalism, especially since this person has been in the news recently. Fuzheado | Talk 13:51, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Richard Sproat

Remove create protection: I am proposing that Richard Sproat should be unprotected from creation. The page was somehow indefintely protected in a batch operation in 2012. Google Scholar shows him to be one of the most cited linguists (c.f. Hagit Borer who has a Wikipedia entry), with ~30k Google Search results, also larger than that of the latter at 24k. I have drafted a first version of the page. Ryanli (talk) 16:29, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Unprotected Ryanli I cannot see an AfD for the article. It was speedy deleted per WP:A7 in April 2007. I'm not sure your draft establishes notability but normal procedures will need to be followed to investigate that. Johnuniq (talk) 09:22, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

@Fuzheado: Given the disruption has been going on for a month and a half would it be better to go for a slightly longer protection period? 192.76.8.81 (talk) 00:22, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
@192.76.8.81: Let see for one week. If after the article is unprotected vandalism happens again, it will be considered longer protection. 180.244.146.59 (talk) 00:30, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
