Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Regular disruptive editing and vandalism since last 6 month protection expired. WikiVirusC(talk) 21:26, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 years, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 01:56, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Boston

Reason: Page was unprotected recently, and since then vandalism by IPs and red-link users has skyrocketed. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Boston&action=history shows that these vandals have boldly reverted reverts of their edits, making it difficult for the helpful editors to avoid an edit war. This is a page that gets 5,000-7,000 views per day and has about 51,000 wikilinks to it, so the chaos needs to be reigned in. Augusthorsesdroppings10 (talk) 21:56, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Untitled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film

Reason: Disruptive editing and unexplained removal of content. NoobMiester96 (talk) 21:27, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. NoobMiester96, unexplained removal of content is incorrect. Several explanations were provided, like: We don't have enough information or clarity on this project to add development to the opening of the article and That logo isn't even the film logo. That's the franchise logo. Now, granted, I'm unable to follow those explanations or their validity, but they do exist. Also, the user should be warned about edit warring ({{uw-3rr}}) as they may not know it's a thing. El_C 02:26, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Richarlison

Extended confirmed protection: Constant vandalism about his reported transfer to Tottenham, just like Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal. Semi-protection didn't work. Seems like the only option in these types of scenarios is to add extended confirmed protection considering the fact that the vandals never get banned. Fijipedia (talk) 21:55, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected for the duration. El_C 02:18, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

XNXX

Reason: The page has existed for less than a week and has already had multiple instances of IP vandalism The Midnite Wolf (talk) 21:32, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Not done, for now. The Midnite Wolf, two instances of vandalism in a week is not actually that bad, especially for a page for a site described as the eighth most visited website in the world. My sense is that it'll probably need long term pr0ntection eventually, but I don't think we're there just yet. El_C 02:01, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Semi-Protection: 6+ months of an IP-hopping user instigating edit wars over their personal stance on the content. 65.60.178.134 (talk) 02:41, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 02:48, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Technoblade

Reason: Subject of page has recently become deceased and was created soon after his death. Due to many of his fanbase being children, it has a high probability of being vandalised. 58.170.150.47 (talk) 04:19, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. and Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Mifter (talk) 04:42, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Technoblade

Reason: Temporary semi-protection needed, as people have flocked from outside to change his death date and add external 'face reveal' links, which haven't been confirmed. VORTEX3427 (Talk!) 06:46, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:48, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

ND Stevenson

Reason: The protection which was placed on the page Noelle Stevenson before being moved to the page ND Stevenson states that after Stevenson stated that they used any personal pronouns people would repeatedly randomize the pronouns used on the page as Stevenson has now said he goes by He/Him pronouns there will be no excuse and thus no cause for randomization as the entire article will use He/Him pronouns making this protection in my opinion no longer necessary

Musetomon (talk) 17:43, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

But what actually makes protection no longer necessary? Why isn’t this an edit request? CreecregofLife (talk) 19:43, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Declined @Musetomon: There is no rationale given here for unprotection. Please make an edit request on Talk:ND Stevenson. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:40, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Ajit Pawar

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Storchy (talk) 13:37, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Note: seems to be resolved. Storchy, please confirm. El_C 17:33, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
It went quiet because it's the middle of the night in India. But I'm willing to wait if you're unsure. Thanks for asking.
You asked about a connection with Simranjit Singh Mann earlier (thread now archived), but I'm not aware of a connection. There are certainly a ton of unsourced additions to several bios of Maharashtra politicians like Pawar, Eknath Shinde (which you just semi-protected), List of chief ministers of Maharashtra, etc., as there are apparently a number of changes of ministerial roles going on at the moment. Storchy (talk) 19:59, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Storchy, ah, makes sense (see also this). Anyway, I thought it was sorted with the sources (I see that you've added more since). Drop me a line on my talk page, though, if further problems arise and we can figure out protection or anything else at that time. El_C 01:52, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 Requesting immediate archiving... El_C 13:46, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Technoblade

Reason: Addition of unsourced BLP additions; unsourced additions of given name & exact date of death. Previous request for protection was preemptive. Requesting temporary protection of ~24h. SWinxy (talk) 05:45, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Declined Duplicate request. Semi-protected below. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:49, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
@Anachronist why was this request declined and the one below accepted? SWinxy (talk) 07:01, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
I have to imagine the explicit mentions of privacy violations is a factor CreecregofLife (talk) 07:19, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
Realized I had a small mistake in the request: subject is not a BLP. All else equal, there's not much difference between this and the one below. SWinxy (talk) 07:21, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Several people (with no confirmed account) tried to put false or out-of-date information to the article and caused the confusion. The article involves the law about cannabis.

Katter's Australian Party

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP editor keeps removing sourced claims. Vacant0 (talk) 16:26, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Question: Vacant0, how are those claims sourced? Where are those sources? At a glance, there are no citations attached to the the contested items, neither by you nor the IP. You say we go by what reliable sources say, but have yet to mention even a single one. On May 31, the IP has posted Talk:Katter's Australian Party/Archive 1#Katter is hardly a right winger economically, which no one has responded to at the time of my writing this. So that's... not great. Sure, as far as that OP goes, it's basically the equivalent of google it or look it up on Facebook, and so on, but nonetheless, it's still worthy of a response. El_C 17:14, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
R-w populism is sourced in the "Policies" section, ref 17: "KAP is very much a rural, right-wing populist party with a strong emphasis on protectionism..." Vacant0 (talk) 17:16, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
Ok, but you still need to tell the IP about that. Use the talk page to expound on the sources that they are requesting. And maybe even respond to their thread from May 31. Just sayin'. El_C 17:19, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Elagabalus

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing, often by IPs or very new editors who registered just to edit this article. The problem is about the gender identity of Elagabalus, who has been described as a trans woman in some non-reliable sources, but academic sources do not support this. As a result, gender pronouns are changed regularly, mostly in good faith. There was a temporarily 1-year protection in February 2021 (diff), but it did not solve the problem. I am therefore requesting a permanent protection. T8612 (talk) 15:42, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

If you look at the history, there have been multiple attempts to remove critical content and to inflate things like the numbers of mourners at his funeral.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Same IP user who keeps get blocked or block evading keeps reverting back his WP:OR edits [[11]]. Shadow4dark (talk) 00:48, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

All I did was add a relevant source (literally from the Time magazine, which is way better than most of the other sources there) and changed the colour codes to more neutral ones. Before the green/blue were light but red was overly dark. I gave them all the same brightness level. What's your problem? Also, it isn't sockpuppetry. 5.151.88.0 (talk) 00:57, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Reason: After being told that calling it a box office bomb was premature and their sources for doing so were weak, Cherry-picked and outdated, users are repeatedly restoring the content with the same outdated and weak sources.

UAPx

Reason: A certain group of editors is using ambiguous and interpretative "rules" to seek a deletion for the UAPx page - they are claiming unreliable sources when peer-reviewed journal articles are cited as well as claiming the page is promotional when it is not. The page was written by a neutral 3rd party with no affiliation to UAPx and contains all of the appropriate citations of proper legitimacy and reference. OSIRIS UAP (talk) 22:46, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Evidence of blatant meat puppetry has been provided to me involving this account, as well as other new user accounts.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent IP vandalism (removing valid URL). ZimZalaBim talk 21:02, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm now involved, but I'd say this should be declined for two reasons: This wasn't vandalism, and it was a reasonable removal of a dead URL from the infobox of the no-longer-existing article subject. ZimZalaBim, perhaps you could simply withdraw this request by saying so in response to this message. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:11, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Constant low levels of vandalism on BLP article - previous protection expired and it picked right back up. ECP or Pending Changes would be helpful in keeping this at bay. Tony Fox (arf!) 15:45, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Why ECP? Pending-changes is the lowest form of protection (semi-protection is actually higher). It doesn't relate to anything highly controversial or any ongoing wars, conflicts or disputes (which is one of the reasons why many articles relating to the Middle East, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and North Africa are protected). TheGreatAustralian (talk) 22:21, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
While the above user has been dinged for socking, after some thought I've downgraded the request to temporary semiprotection - please make it longer than the two previous periods, however, and perhaps the problem editors will wander off.

Yves Nyami

Reason: There is a well sourced article at Yves Nyami (footballer) which should be moved here. Inwind (talk) 09:24, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

@Wugapodes and Number 57: Looking through the logs, it appears that it was salted due to repeated recreations of a page that was declined by AfC review. I am inclined to unprotect, given that the repeated draftifications and its accompanying protection seem to be against WP:DRAFTOBJECT. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:23, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
@Sdrqaz: no objection here. Imo, salting just means "don't create without running it past some admin" so always feel free to undo my saltings if you think it no longer is needed. Thanks for the heads up though. — Wug·a·po·des​ 01:48, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
I think given the efforts made to get the original article published, I strongly suspect the new article is a paid-for one (looking at the creator's talk page, the issue of COI and paid editing has been raised on multiple occasions). The subject fails the old NFOOTBALL notability guideline and I am not convinced the new article passes GNG (most of the references are databases). Number 57 08:03, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
Perhaps Yves Nyami (footballer) should be taken to AfD, and if it survives, then it can be moved to Yves Nyami. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 21:20, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
Unprotected So it's been a few days since this request, and on balance, I think the best resolution is to unsalt and move the page. Sdrqaz is correct that the original protection was ill advised per WP:DRAFTOBJECT, so the argument against unprotecting is already a little weak. Like Number 57 I'm also not convinced the article meets our inclusion criteria, but the place to decide that is AFD not RFPP (and that should have happened originally when the draftification was objected to, instead of salting). Scottywong suggests we send it to AFD before moving, but I think that will actually cause more problems. If the AfD closes as delete, it would actually be better for that entry in the deletion log to be at the base page name where admins and editors would look first when evaluating CSDs, AFCs, or future salt requests. If the AfD closes as keep then we just have extra work to do later on. So resolving this request as unprotect and move remedies a previous admin error, keeps logs together, and doesn't prevent editors from using normal editorial processes like PROD and AFD to resolve remaining concerns. For those reasons I've granted the request, notified the creator of recent changes to NFOOTBALL, and applied the {{Notability}} cleanup template to bring more eyes to the page. I don't know the subject area well, so I'll leave the AFD up to someone who can do a more thorough WP:BEFORE search. — Wug·a·po·des​ 19:10, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Senegambia Confederation

Reason: Since mid-2022, the Senegambia Confederation article has been targeted by attempts to blame the confederation's end solely on the state and people of the Gambia. At least two editors have tried to push these changes, mostly deleting references and changing sentences in a way not supported by the sources. As I pointed this out, one editor inserted a primary source from 1982 as alleged source for their position, even though most of their changes regard the 1989 end of the confederation. As at least two editors were involved in the POV pushing, I request a page protection to prevent the constant insertion of an unsourced, anti-Gambian POV. Applodion (talk) 17:45, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Gamergate (harassment campaign)

Please add the following comment to the recent move request.

Please add the following comment to the recent move request.

  • Comment: Some users such as GorillaWarfare claimed that harassment campaign is not the primary topic. However, harassment campaign page has 10x more views compared to ant page. Aquillion pointed out that move might cause problems with recentism. However, WP:DPT states that "...historical age is not determinative" when identifying the primary topic. I also think that the general audience would be more interested in the internet campaign compared to the ant species, which would attract the specific audience of biology enthusiasts. Ant species has more educational value compared to the internet campaign, but I think the other factors —particularly overwhelmingly more pageviews and appeal to general audience— outweigh it. Accordingly, I disagree with their opinion.--Madame Necker (talk) 23:29, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Greetings, I'm an inactive contributor and my user talk page keeps getting repeated IP vandalism. E.g. [26][27][28] (there are several others but they've been rev-deleted). Would it be totally unreasonable to semi-protect the page? (I'm unclear on what the current project norms are.)

New Zealand National Party

Reason: Vandalism removing sourced content that a single user does not like in regards to party ideology. Have tried to talk it out on the talk page, but the user can only offer biased answers that do not reflect Wiki policies, and refuses to come to a mutual agreement. Have been seeking third opinions from others to help, but the user has constantly jumped the gun and refuses to wait, putting their own personal opinions and research ahead of sourced content. SjShane (talk) 05:44, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Once again the user has reverted changes without adding to the discussion, and is attempting Edit Warring and causing drama rather than coming to mutual agreements with me. Over on the talk page I am yet to receive a reply, and when I do it tends to come down to their own personal opinion rather than anything validating. I have provided many links that can help others come to their own decisions, but only this sole user has discussed them and refused to acknowledge them (including government websites providing data). I am quite happy to let the changes go if the user can provide significant counter evidence that the edits are not warranted, but I am yet to receive any information that does so. Just that they “don’t like the sources” despite the ones they reintroduce being far more topical and outdated.
Understand the difficulty of the subject, but given the situation the user has no provided anything substantial to make these changes, and continues to do so despite being asked many times on both the talk page, and my personal talk page, I feel a protection is in order unless the user wishes to talk before jumping the gun yet again.

@Semsûrî: Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Also  Proxy blocked × 2. If this weren't a DS area involving a sockmaster using residential proxies, I probably wouldn't protect it at all, so I think a month for the first protection it's had in a decade is fairly generous and a reflection of the sensitive topic area. I will keep an eye on this page during and after its protection, as I have done with the other 1-month protections I've issued recently in response to your requests. (I did make one 3-year logged DS semi for Arab Shamilov, owing to past protections.) If you want topic-area-level indef semi, you would have to propose that at WP:VPR, WP:AN, or WP:ARCA (as an ARBKURDS amendment), but I think it would be a hard sell. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 00:10, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Billy Bragg

Increased extended-protection by half-a-year or more: Billy Bragg's page has been vandalised multiple times over the past few weeks - saying one of his names is the word 'cis' - because he's a trans ally: https://twitter.com/billybragg/status/1537403855822012419. The page was recently unprotected - however a new wave of vandalism has been perpetrated from different IP addresses in a timeframe so short it can't be a coincidence - so the page has been protected again. The protection expires at 10:11 tonight (UK time) but I don't think this is a sufficient measure. This is clearly a co-ordinated effort by transphobes who want to be hateful no matter how much time they lose. And, I am suggesting that the protection time be extended to half a year - if not more - to prevent them from being transphobic and vandalising the page again. 92.21.223.3 (talk) 08:11, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:19, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
It wasn't preemptive - I sent this when the page was protected after being vandalised - and was requesting that the protection time be upped from what it already was. The protection expired shortly before your reply 92.21.223.3 (talk) 22:32, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
"upped from what it already was"... preemptively, that is. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:39, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
I'm asking in good faith - how is that preemptive if it's responding to the wave of vandalism that just happened? I just didn't think the current measures were sufficient. 92.21.223.3 (talk) 23:00, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Based off his SPI history, he typically stays with a band for a couple of weeks, and makes multiple attempts to do this. He tried it on July 5th, and now on July 9th. I request temporary Full, up from PC, for a period of a couple of days, to hopefully stop him from repeating his "Create sock, vandalize, blocked, create sock, wait for autoconfirmed and do it again" cycle.

Reason: Edit War. Soosider3 (talk) 11:17, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Ongoing disagreement between myself and another user as to validity of using a Poll by Techne, all other polls have a sample size of 1000, this is an industry standard across the UK as evidenced by The British Polling Council. This poll is clearly out of step with every other poll on this page and in fact with most pages that refer to Political Polling in the UK, examples below https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_2021_Senedd_election https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_2019_United_Kingdom_general_election https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_2021_Scottish_Parliament_election https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_next_Scottish_Parliament_election

I have engaged with the other user over the last week but we seem to have reached an impasse, where one removes/adds article and the other removes/reverts it I ask for assistance in resolving this matter but believe the onus is on the other user as he seems intent on introducing a Poll significantly different from all others on the page

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing and WP:BLOCKEVASION. Could the talk page get protected as well? The block evading IP is attempting to write there, ultimately disrupting the possibility of any form of constructive discussion.

Temporary semi-protection: This is a candidate in a 2023 election. Spin doctors have been trying to "clean" the candidate's article for some time. And ounce of prevention is better than continued reversions, so please can we consider semi-protection until whenever these elections may be?

@Timtrent: Note that pages are not protected pre-emptively, per WP:NOPREEMPT. Protecting the page until February 2023 would be overkill relative to the disruption that has been happening on the page so far. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 01:56, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Sexy Vegan

Reason: High level of IP vandalism; it appears that the subject of the article himself is attempting to cut out chunks of the article that he disagrees with, including valid sources like The New York Times, Newsweek and New York Daily News! Not sure how to stop them from doing this; at one point they removed a whole section of the article and just typed the word "sexy" with no context in its place...? This vandalism is bizarre and affecting the quality of the article; two other WP confirmed members already had to revert all of these vandalizing edits.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I have no idea what WP:HCSĐ is but the last unconstructive edit from an IP was almost a week ago so there’s nothing ongoing to protect against. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:48, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Kyle Rittenhouse

Reason: This is a new article and is getting quite a lot of IP vandalism. I am not considering any edit disputes by registered users vandalism, I am solely talking about the IPs that are clearly not here to build an encyclopedia. Examples include: Him being called a "terrorist & murderer"; calling one of the men he shot a sex offender (multiple times); and other blantant/obvious BLP violations. Kbabej (talk) 22:16, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Black Bird (miniseries)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism from multiple IPs suspected to be same user (repeats same comments). User has been warned multiple times about Edit Warring and has demonstrated utter disregard for policies, such as consensus among editors about the topic of co-author, which can be viewed on the Talk page. Has been warned at multiple IP addresses and still is disruptively editing. Claims to be one of the two authors of source material, and has also been warned about COI, which user also ignored. Informationageuser (talk) 10:50, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Update: I posted this protection request just a short time ago, yet this user has vandalized the page with three more edits attempting to remove the co-author from the page lead, the page info box, and even editing a COI flag/tag. Informationageuser (talk) 11:28, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Already at an appropriate noticeboard. Lectonar (talk) 14:54, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Same disruptive IP editing problem as led to previous semi resumed promptly after that protection expired. A long-term named editor who is involved had noted it on the talkpage, where there is no consensus for any change from long-standing wording. DMacks (talk) 12:40, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Anonymous users keep vandalizing the article with poorly sourced or unsourced additions. The same individuals (or individual) also target other articles about Ancient Near Eastern deities (ex. Resheph, Erra (god), Tishpak), in all cases adding similar unsourced or poorly sourced information, typically trying to conflate only vaguely related deities. In some cases citations are pulled from other Wikipedia articles without the source itself added to the bibliography, and are used to support statements not supported by the books or articles themselves. The edits constitute vandalism or break WP:NOR. HaniwaEnthusiast (talk) 17:02, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Hey!

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – An editor added a bunch of controversial, but well sourced, content to the page.

Macedonian Slavs

Reason: It is desirable to create a separate article about this issue, which I am planning. Macedonian Slavs is now a locked redirect page. It is a term common mostly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the whole region which is now divided among 6 countries, was still under Ottoman rule. It covered the entire Slavic-speaking population, regardless of its ethnic and religious affiliation. Jovan Cvijić claimed in his distinct theory in 1906 the "Macedonian Slavs" were an amorphous Slavic mass that was neither Bulgarian, nor Serbian but could turn out either Bulgarian or Serbian if the respective people were to rule the region.There are a lot of reliable sources confirming this view. See also the disambiguation page Macedonian Slavs for details. The same issue is valid about the redirects Macedonian Slav, Slav Macedonians, Slav Macedonian and Slavic Macedonians Please unlock these pages too. At the moment Slavic Macedonian and Slavo-Macedonians are free for editing. Jingiby (talk) 11:37, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Why would this information not belong in the existing Macedonians (ethnic group) article? "Macedonian Slavs" is a common term for ethnics Macedonians, which is why this is a redirect to that article. --Local hero talk 15:07, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
@Jingiby: Courtesy ping to give you a chance to answer the question above before this section is archived. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:52, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi everybody, these days, a separate section was created with such a name: Macedonian Slavs in cartography. I think it would be good, apart from the cartographic point of view, to examine the topic from other aspects independently, but in separate article. Jingiby (talk) 04:48, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
I am curious how is the article on the Slav/ethnic Macedonians or the one entitled Slavic speakers in Ottoman Macedonia not suitable for this information to be presented given its due weight. Incidentally, Cvijić's view on the Macedo-Slav identity is already included in the section that Jingiby links to, added by the undersigned. I am worried that the new article being envisaged sounds like a WP:POVFORK. Ashmedai 119 (talk) 05:41, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
Declined @Jingiby: This isn't clear-cut, and for that reason beyond the scope of a request for decrease of protection level. I suggest you gain consensus to have a separate article on the appropriate talk-page first. Lectonar (talk) 10:44, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Here to build an encyclopedia

Reason: Indef Semi-protection. Highly visible essay page with ~40,000 incoming links, long term issues with disruptive editing and vandalism. Of the last 50 edits to this page there are a handful of productive edits, almost all of which were made by established accounts, and a ton of vandalism. As a essay commonly quoted in blocks via WP:NOTHERE it's a persistent troll magnet, and there's no compelling reason why newbies should need to be editing this. 163.1.15.238 (talk) 14:05, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. On the one hand, the article is not edited very often, and the last edit was more than a month ago. On the other hand, when it is edited, the result is often vandalism or at least unhelpful. Semi-protection is not warranted. But let's try PC protection for a while, and see if that helps keep the article effective. MelanieN (talk) 00:34, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Lalit Modi

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Lalit Modi just dropped a message on social media saying that he is married to the actress Sushmita Sen. Which he clarified again saying not yet but soon. So unless he is actually married, editing the Spouse field does not make sense. People are trying to edit it again and again.

Hi Robert McClenon, I'm generally fine with indefinitely (probably rather semi- for now) protecting such redirects. I almost always do so when I see recent repeated attempts to create articles in place of redirects against a clear consensus. In this specific case, both redirects you've linked to don't yet seem to qualify for such protection: The page about Barron William Trump was last edited over a year ago by a long-CU-blocked sock, and not in the years before. The page about Barron W. Trump was created by Paulistafan today, and Cullen328 has thankfully already addressed their rather strange BLP contributions on their talk page, currently waiting for a response. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:16, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Luisa Neubauer

Reason: There have been numerous attempts of IPs to spread false claims, sometimes even manufactured lies, in the article, often by using German sources that were cited in a extremely biased and distorting way. See article history and discussion page. At least one person seems to be a man-on-a-mission, who is desperately trying to spread false information about Neubauer, trying to spread as much defamation as possible about her. Unfortunately, many of these edits take weeks to be removed, therefore a semi-protection is absolutely necessary. Andol (talk) 23:04, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look. Respectfully, for me, it feels more like a continuation of the efforts of a banned sock puppet than an actual good faith conflict dispute. In 2020, the page received many POV biased edits from the now banned sockpuppets 1sheropen and Mrelving. In the last month, many of the edits created by the sockpuppet have been restored or expanded from a series of changing IP addresses that appear to be the same person. I am unfamiliar whether a sockpuppet investigations can be done into someone intentionally changing their IP address so semi protection seemed to me like the best next step to force the user into establishing an account and abide by revert rules and good faith editing. But if you disagree, I'll continue to try and work with the individual but it's frustrating because I try to play by the rules and someone with a changing IP address has the upper hand in conflict disputes.

United States

I request that the following sentence and reference be updated as the information is out of date. It is the second to last sentence in the third paragraph of the Science, technology, and energy section. The EIA.gov reference is outdated. It can be replaced with an updated eia.gov reference as shown below.

Change "They account for about 25% of the world's petroleum consumption, while producing only 6% of the world's annual petroleum supply.[334]" to "While Americans account for about 20% of the world's petroleum consumption, they also produce 20% of the world's annual petroleum supply."

Suggest updating refence 334 to the following EIA.gov reference current through 2021.

I request that the following sentence and reference be updated as the information is out of date. It is the second to last sentence in the third paragraph of the Science, technology, and energy section. The EIA.gov reference is outdated. It can be replaced with an updated eia.gov reference as shown below.

Change "They account for about 25% of the world's petroleum consumption, while producing only 6% of the world's annual petroleum supply.[334]" to "While Americans account for about 20% of the world's petroleum consumption, they also produce 20% of the world's annual petroleum supply.[1]" TimeHorizon (talk) 00:18, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Milan

Reason: This article was protected thanks to the high number of vandalism it was suffering months ago, so, the protection expired and everything was ok, but now a "new user" (probably the same that was vandalising the article months ago) is adding false information to the article without any "citation" to verify it. So, im asking if the protection to the article can be extended for a while longer Ywetapap888 (talk) 22:43, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

  • Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Protection isn't for disputes between 2 users; first of all, you haven't warned that user nor attempted to communicate in any way with them other than edit summaries; secondly, Napolean is specifically mentioned in one of the existing sources right there, though I'm not sure how accurate it is to say that he "modernized" the city during his reign.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Do not warn people for vandalism in a content dispute. There is a procedure for what happens when another editor objects to a redirect replacing an article. The IP editor made the point (more than once) that the page is not a simple list and therefore should not be redirected. Stop edit warring. I am not going to prioritise your point of view over the IP editor's by semi-protecting the page. Sdrqaz (talk) 02:20, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 11:57, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
I guess it not disruptive when you're not the one having to revert it. I don't have a bot watching the dog articles for vandalism, so it disrupts my day but apparently that doesn't matter. It requires multiple reverts and blatant disruption. How does that make sense? Why not nip it in the bud? What's so difficult about adding semi-PP for a little while? For one thing, it encourages GF IPs to register, and discourages bad faith IPs from vandalizing. It's not like their identities are at risk for political retaliation, or worse - it's a dog article. j/s Atsme 💬 📧 15:25, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
Comment: I agree with Lectonar's call. The edit you are referring to has been added and reverted three times over the past three days. The previous edit before that was in September 2021. Three problem edits in three days does not justify semi-protection. If the problem becomes persistent and more frequent, request again. -- MelanieN (talk) 19:06, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Murder of Sydney Loofe

Reason: The family has contacted me, I am a friend of theirs. They requested that her burial location remain private, I left it as being in Nebraska. This page appears to be well written and factual. We request to have this page locked for protection so no further edits to the burial location or other sections be published. I can provide proof of contact from the family, they just asked me as I am a network administrator who they know is good with computers. Thank you so much for your consideration. 104.218.65.28 (talk) 02:21, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

S-400 missile system

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Unregistered user constantly adding a claim from a questionable source, not backed up by known news outlets. Eddmanx (talk) 07:24, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

To add, the user in question has been operating with at least four different IP addresses, 93.42.37.156, 93.44.89.204, 93.42.38.116 and 93.44.90.12. Also, instead of explaining why the source should be considered reliable or adding better sources, the user resorted to making personal remarks in the form of unwarranted accusations of racism. The language of the source isn't the issue; the source itself is (The article states its source to simply be "Source: Facts"). In a later edit, the user mentioned adding a second reference, but it's the exact same link, simply used twice. The user then changed the source to two other unreliable sources, the first referring to the claims of a blogger/youtuber, and the other mentions no S-400 system. Later two other unreliable sources were added; one mentions its source to be a youtube video (made by the aforementioned blogger/youtuber), and the other one is a straight youtube link. As stated in the edit summary, there is no mention of an S-400 system in the original TASS article at all. (Sources explained in detail: S-400 talk page) Eddmanx (talk) 11:52, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
The user Eddmanx affirms that 5 sources including the Tass are not reliable. Then, he assigns to himself the right to decide what is true or not. This is not based the actual case but on some opinion. As there is no minister of truth yet, I ask to check the fact without prejudices. Thank you 93.42.38.116 (talk) 19:56, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
The user Eddmanx asked the following question <<The website does not seem to be reliable regarding politics, specifically when it's related to russia. Eddmanx (talk) 14:06, 23 July 2022 (UTC)>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard
which is rhetoric because he himself already has provided the answer. However, so far, none has sided with him. In addition Tass agency, from which he claims the original information comes from, it is used in the page as a source.
I maintain that there is no ministry of truth that can put a stamp on reliability of a source because it is obvious that any source can be manipulated. Therefore any information should be confirmed or not based on its own merit and not on a generic "reliability" stamp. I ask to check the fact without prejudices. Thank you 93.44.90.12 (talk) 05:35, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
I added it to the noticeboard simply for consideration of addition to the list. The source, in the least, is unreliable for russia/ukraine matters. Eddmanx (talk) 11:23, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of two months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Note to both editors: this board is exactly the wrong place to have a discussion about the reliability of sources. This should happen at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard and/or on the talk page, and User:Eddmanx has made the effort to begin a discussion at both locations. That the IP editor has not weighed in at either location is an indicator that semi-protection is unfortunately necessary. BusterD (talk) 16:09, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: My aim is to stop the ongoing edit warring and not to set a preferred version. This should be done after warring ceases.

Reason: I request semi-protection (anonymous users blocked from editing) for a few days. The final race of the season happened tonight and people are saying on social media that there was a scoring error in the final championship standings with a different driver and as a result, Ryan Newman won the championship instead of Marco Andretti. There has yet to be official confirmation from the SRX that there was an error and people are making vandalous edits to the article as a result.

well, you should go through every change made by the little censorship bubble and checkout every single message they sent for the past 2 weeks, and how they systemically and systematically remove material and replace them with what they want. this page is full of irrelevant and materials with no citation/refs. and any new material, despite its relevance, with proper citation has been removed by User:No such user, replaced with intentionally uncorroborated and irrelevant texts. Furthermore, this action is supported by Golden Drmies et al. before complying with what they want and support a systemic and systematic discrimination and censorship, you have to check out what their reason for removal of every material is. {{subst:ANI-notice}} ~~~~ Mazandaran Sea (talk) 15:10, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

This word is nothing more than a word used by the ignorant. As they themselves call one another by this derogatory term. The fact that anyone gives this word a definition is testament to the weakness of the human mind. A word means nothing unless we give it power. One could say dogger and use it in the same terminology. Noone is offended by this word because none have given it the power to do so. The people that give this word power are those stupid enough to let it be so. Try eating a slice of pie and see if this word has any more meaning to you then that bite of pie. Or perhaps; a cup of tea, then see if that word has meaning when your truly trying not to let is have such control. I can control a cup of tea or a slice of pie; therefore, I can enjoy it. I cannot control the idiocy of the stupid; therefore, I choose to not let it affect me. Should you choose to let this word remain in lower over you then you are no more than an idiot seeking to give power to someone. Only those whom control you can affect how you feel.

Declined OP, please be so kind to as to give some more information why these edits should be vandalism. Lectonar (talk) 06:43, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment: Please, check again the case of persistent edit-warring, disruptive editing, etc. At first I am not reverting North Macedonia, but North Macedonian academic, author and philosopher of Bulgarian origin. These are malicious insults sent by a network of nationalist-minded IPs located in North Macedonia. This woman is a scientist who expresses positions to improve the relations between Bulgaria and North Macedonia, and because of that she has being viciously attacked. Both "North Macedonian" and "Bulgarian" have been considered offensive terms there. The national identity of the population there is formed on this basis. That's why they change the text repeatedly. Jingiby (talk) 10:44, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. This can't be solved via page-protection, especially as at least another autoconfirmed user has reverted to a version which includes "..of Bulgarian origin...". Therefore, semi-protection would be of no effect, and full protection is not called for yet. Lectonar (talk) 11:06, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

I'll leave it alone from now on, I still believe I wasn't blocked and that the PROD is technically off, this message is still block evasion, so WP:DENY applies.

First PROD removal, second PROD removal. Guess you can find my first block here. That's really hard detective work to find out I was block evading the second time. I have no idea who you though I was the first time or why you aren't reverting obvious block evasions like this one as fast as the first supposed one, but I'll leave the Dietary acid load article alone, so there is, I believe, no need to protect it, at least not because of these two IP edits by me or for fear of other edits by my now block evading personas. 109.119.212.245 (talk) 04:16, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Karen people

Reason: Requesting temporary semi-protection due to a high volume of unsourced edits by anonymous users in recent days. Here I reverted unsourced changes to population numbers, an edit for which I immediately received emails from throwaway accounts complaining about the revert of "very real and true numbers" (quoted from one of the emails). There have also been some odd unexplained reverts by anonymous users as well. Here an anonymous editor restores a bad version of the article with non-sensical English phrasing and repetitions of the full name of an organisation instead of the abbreviation. I'm pretty sure 50.192.149.153 and 98.242.192.79 (as well as the person who flooded my email) are the same person given that they restore each other's edits to Karen people, and that they have a specific editing focus on articles related to Christian figures. However, to my knowledge, sockpuppetry procedures don't apply to IP addresses. Yue🌙 18:54, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Vox (political party)

Reason: A sudden interest of several newly created accounts to change the long-standing version of the article's lead to tell in WP:WIKIVOICE a particular biased view on the article's subject, and to eliminate alternative perspective from the lead, instead a WP:NPOV characterization of the subject in the long-standing version. The involved accounts ignored warnings about the need to abide WP:NPOV, and invitations to follow WP:BRD joining discussion in the Talk page. Please, also take into consideration that current political climate in Spain, and approaching of the important electoral cycle in 2023, pretty much guarantees further vandalism and edit-warring attempts :( Thus, at least a semi-protection of the page seems required.

Bamboo network

Reason: All or almost all the high level vandalism is coming from generic IP addresses and red-linked users over the last 2.5 years. Unregistered editors made very few quality contributions to the article in addition to the high amount of nonconstructive edits made to the page Bamboo network coming from a wide range of unregistered editors, IP addresses, and red-linked user accounts. Recent IP Vandal Special:Contributions/14.200.217.115 added all sorts of redundant signs and editing behaviour clearly exhibits tendentious WP:DISRUPTSIGNS by repeatedly removing reliable sources posted by other editors as well as WP:DISRUPTIVE editing as well as violating of WP:REMOVECITE, WP:REFREMOVAL, WP:IDONTLIKEIT, & WP:NOTCENSORED policies; These episodes have been occurring constantly from generic IP and red-linked editors over the last two and a half years and I hope temporary protection to Bamboo network is granted. Thanks. SimeonManier (talk) 16:31, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

There are serious WP:NPOV issues on that article and they fixed it. Page protection is meant for situations of repeated vandalism, not for content dispute. You shouldn't go running to request page protection to block out an IP editor just because you don't like what they're doing. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:47, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. -- lomrjyo talk 02:22, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

  • There's already enough disinformation going on in the media about the article's protection that I'd really rather we not semi the talkpage too. At the very least, the existence of an open talkpage where people can go and complain about the article being protected somewhat undercuts the idea that the protection is an act of censorship. There's been no small amount of disruption, but EvergreenFir and I have hatted or reverted a lot of it, and other stuff has been reverted or archived by non-admins. I've so far had to block one user and revdel edits by another, and if there continue to be edits that require use of admin tools, I might consider semi, but personally I think that's premature at this time. But if another admin thinks it necessary, I don't object. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 08:41, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
    I think there might even now be an argument for full-protection of the article (I have seen the discussion about that at AN), and that would mean to leave the talk-page as open as can be. Lectonar (talk) 11:32, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

The page protection for this article is not necessary because the text "The project was cancelled leaving with Windows Vista the newest one, it was remade as Windows 7 in 2008." was useful and you should edit it. However, you want to decrease to no protection because I want my edit to go public. Also, I saw the protection is long enough. The redirect pages WIN7 and WINS7 should be created as well. Cdmxm8807i8x (talk) 23:58, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
No, we don't, because administrators will not lick your boots and this article has an extensive history of vandalism which led to the indefinite protection. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 00:03, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

The Stadium Tour

Reason: Persistent vandalism. Over the last few days, just about two or three weeks after the Stadium Tour article was protected, anonymous users are again adding false information under the Mötley Crüe personnel, replacing Vince Neil with John Corabi, who hasn't been a member of the band for over 25 years and therefore hasn't rejoined. In fact, there is not even any news reports or evidence that Corabi has returned to the band. MetalDiablo666 (talk) 04:15, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Nergal

Indefinite semi-protection: persistent disruptive editing. Information added (always the same two paragraphs) is partially unsourced, partially uses sources in the article's bibliography to support statements not present in them which constitute breach of WP:NOR, it is also added in random locations, without concern for the organization of the article. Due to this already happening in the past the page was temporarily protected recently, but the problem resumed as soon as the protection expired. The activity of this range of IPs also extends to other pages, for example Hadad, where similarly original research and barely relevant stream of consciousness statements are added, making this a persistent pattern of behavior which is difficult to deal with. The IP users (or more likely user) also never add edit summaries. HaniwaEnthusiast (talk) 07:08, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

While it's true that it is being rather heavily trafficked (in large part due to critical news coverage of our decision to protect the article), it seems to me like this does more harm than good.
