Pending-changes protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – A bunch of various IP editors are apparently interpreting that today's shutdown of Olympic Channel (American TV channel) by NBCUniversal also means the demise of the IOC's international over-the-top service with the same name and logo, even though there is no indication this is the case.

Declined @Magnatyrannus: The edit-warring editor has been blocked and I think that might end the problem. Feel free to ping me if issues arise and I will investigate further. Johnuniq (talk) 00:59, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
@Johnuniq, the problem is that the user might continue after his block has expired, so we might have to keep a lookout/watchful eye. Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 01:01, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP vandalism. LilianaUwU (talk / contribs) 23:52, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

@LilianaUwU: The WP:VAND link you used refers to things like adding poop. Edit warring over a category that appears to assert that side X did bad thing Y is not vandalism. There is nothing on talk.

Reason: Please create-protect the page with autoconfirmed protection, to prevent vandalism. Also no need for anyone else to edit this page other than me. Taiwanrailtransportfan (talk) 01:00, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Declined. User pages are automatically semi-protected, so your page does not need any additional protection.  MelanieN (talk) 01:16, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

User:Taiwanrailtransportfan/sandbox

Reason: Autoconfirmed protection per user's request. Taiwanrailtransportfan (talk) 01:04, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. No one else has tried to edit your sandbox, so there is no need to protect it. MelanieN (talk) 01:17, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Indefinite move protection: Highly visible page – Pretty sure there is no need at all for this page to be moved and almost certain that this page will not be moved anytime in the future. Still leave the semi-protection on there too, just requesting to add move protection on top. Jeuno (talk) (contribs) 09:16, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

@El C: I assumed your unprotection on February 2020 was meant only for the sysop-level edit protection and restored the previous move protection. Please correct me if that's wrong. Move protected indefinitely. DatGuyTalkContribs 09:20, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Russia

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Enough warring over the map is taking place that this needs to be locked until the (very lively) talk page discussion settles it. I've reverted it back to the pre-dispute state. Tartan357 (talk) 03:16, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

  • Mini-note by non-admin - If an admin does decide to add temporary full protection, make sure it goes back to the old protection state before the expiry date, or else we will get a situation like the One Direction article back in 2015; had to report that article to WP:RFPP back then all because a full protection of an otherwise semi-protection ended, and then the vandalism pops up again immediately afterwards. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 04:57, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
Fully protected for a period of 5 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. One Direction has a map? Crazy. El_C 06:21, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
I was referring to discrepancies of protection log stuff for another Wikipedia article; the topic doesn't really matter except for the fact that One Direction was a "hot topic" at the time. Specifically about discrepancies was between this full protect page log, this semi-protect of the page immediately about a few hours of automatic unprotected status, and then the page is corrected in semi-protection to be reverted to full length. Now, it isn't so serious for a pop band, but for something like Russia, you better watch out. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 09:54, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

War crimes in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine

Reason: This page should have Extensive Protection on, it has no form of protection, not even semi protection. 5TheHunter (talk) 13:02, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. Logged AE action. 5TheHunter, though there is a lot of disruption on this highly-sensitive page, that is not a sound protection rational. El_C 14:58, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Sevastopol

Reason: Sevastopol is Ukraine, not Russia. The page is created by Russia and states that Crimean Sevastopol is Russian. That is not true! 2406:3400:409:A2E0:3D1A:A0CA:2985:9D7F (talk) 08:19, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Reason: (Extended Confirmed Protection) This page should have extended protection due to the constant vandalism I've seen on the page and her controversial/transphobic comments against the LGBT community. 5TheHunter (talk) 12:24, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Not done History has shown this is a constant target for vandalism. And the reason no IP has vandalized the article is because no IP can edit the article, demonstrating that the protection works. I would also note that your English might not be adequate for editing prose on the English Wikipedia anyway. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 14:24, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Logged AE action. Too active for pc at this time. El_C 18:25, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Donetsk People's Republic

Ford E-Series

Reason: Disruption by either one vandal intentionally changing IPs or a series of meatpuppets. Disruption re-started almost immediately upon expiration of previous semi-protection.

Perhaps extended confirmed protection will be needed but I'm trying the following first. Please notify me if the LTA resumes. I semi protected the following for an extended period. Some of them had come off 6 or 12-month protection and I protected them for 6 or 12 months. Others were generally 3 months. Sorry that I extended some recent protections for short periods without consulting the protecting admin since I thought it was sufficiently difficult dealing with this and something drastic is needed.

2022 Kansas Jayhawks football team

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Page has been edited by multiple IPs adding College Gameday to their upcoming game in an attempt to use as the "gamename" parameter which is intended for rivalries and bowl games, not being named what is essentially ESPN's game of the week. Rockchalk717 18:13, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Can somebody please review this? The edits have picked up a bit since I requested this.--Rockchalk717 18:50, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Well, I at least, don't understand what's happening, though I'm not a sports guy. Who made that hidden note? Does it enjoy consensus? What is GameDay? How is it one word? Anyway, it's all quite confusing. El_C 19:52, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
@El C: I added the note last night after it was announced, College Gameday is a College Football pregame show on ESPN and they host it at the stadium that has the game of the week. Kansas vs TCU has been selected as the game of the week. While Template:CFB schedule entry doesn't say it, in the examples it shows the "gamename" parameter in this template is to identify Rivalry Games or Bowl Games (postseason college football games). It's not for identifying what is basically amounts to ESPN's pick for game of the week. Not sure why it's one word, but that's the official branding of the show from ESPN and the Wikipedia page is titled to match it --Rockchalk717 20:25, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
And what is happening is despite that note being there, multiple IPs have attempted to add it since it was announced last night and the IPs are either ignoring the note and adding it, or they are removing the note and adding it.--Rockchalk717 20:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
I didn't understand, like, pretty much any of that. I'm probably the wrong person to review this. But I doubt you're allowed to exempt yourself from 3RR to keep a hidden note you created last night and whatever it pertains to (which, again, I don't understand). But maybe...? Who knows (not I). El_C 20:32, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Add what? Are you providing a citation for whatever... that is? El_C 20:33, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
@El C: Add gameday to the "gamename" parameter. To word so someone who isn't a sports fan can understand it, IP addresses are misusing a parameter in the CFB schedule entry template used on the article despite me adding a note explaining the proper use of that parameter.--Rockchalk717 20:38, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive edits (non-sourced, with obviously inflated data) by the same non-registered (IP only) user. Klačko (talk) 08:00, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

@Klačko: Sorry but an admin here cannot recognize that the data is obviously inflated. I don't see any explanation on talk. Please post a new section at article talk with a polite and brief explanation of how it is known that a recent edit is incorrect. Proving that something is incorrect might be difficult and I'm not asking for that. However, you are confident that it's inflated so give a reason for thinking that and point out that the addition is (I think) not sourced, with a link to WP:V. Ideally you would try to engage the IP with that discussion. An admin here would then be able to assess the situation. If I'm missing something, please spell it out.

Zellij

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There's been 7 instances of vandalism from multiple IPs (and one single-edit account) since September 30, all taking aim at same section/statement: [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16]. The article has seen a huge spike in visitors (see pageview statistics here here) during this period, presumably due to a recent political controversy over zellige/zellij between Morocco and Algeria that's been fairly widely reported (e.g. [17], [18], etc). The vandalising edits seem to reflect the emotions of that controversy. So far it's manageable, but a temporary page protection would block further vandalism while hopefully allowing the story to blow over a bit in the meantime.

I know, but it's possible that the IP might come back in the form of another IP. It's probably not worth the risk. Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 00:48, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
Please see what I wrote to you above. Protection is not for single IPs or accounts. Nor is it applied pre-emptively, or because an IP might come back as another. This is not how protection on Wikipedia works; please read the protection policy thoroughly before making new requests. Moreover, the Dyer article is currently on the Main Page as Today's Featured Article, which usually brings with it increased vandalism. The threshold for protection will be higher for such prominent articles. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:57, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

I would like to include that Chrystia Freland was inspired to begin a career in journalism by her grandfather Micheal Chomiak (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakivs%27ki_Visti) with a link to his page as the public should know her family's anti semetic history as he was an active participant in the Nazi party according to his Wikipedia page. My edit would say 'Chrystia Freeland was inspired to become a journalist by her grandfather Michael Chomiak' with a link to his Wikipedia page. It is not proper for a politician to have a protected page as this limits freedom of speech. Her office has denied this connection, making it clear that she wants to deny this connection when it is factual. Sphynxxy (talk) 18:59, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Krista Varady

Reason: An editor <Bon courage> has been repeatedly removing the scientific accomplishments of a female scientist (Krista Varady) claiming that they are "self-promotional". However, each statement about her work is supported by several peer-reviewed scientific articles. Moreover, the way that her contributions are listed, are similar to how things are presented on the pages of other male scientists , e.g. Linus Pauling.

These actions seem to be rooted in sexism. It is already very difficult for women to edit anything on Wikipedia, as 90% of editors are males. Some male editors seem to have complete disregard for content generated by women editors, and pages that cover the accomplishments of females. These systemic issues have been covered by the mass media (see Atlantic article below) and I am surprised they are still allowed to happen.

Declined Sorry Ejacobs8990 but this is the wrong place to complain about other editors. It might have escaped your attention, but Linus Pauling is super notable because a large number of independent reliable sources have written about him and his work. Wikipedia (where anyone can edit) has to follow independent reliable sources to avoid chaos and an unfortunate side effect is that many good people will not have extensive articles since they have a career of just a few years.

Coverage of Google Street View

Reason: I need to protect the Coverage of Google Street View page, in which it has been seen that several IPs like this one or this one (they only contributed to add false information like for example that Zambia was going to have street view in addition to adding a lot of islands to the list). The site has been protected using Pending Changes since 2019, but not much has resulted from this, as people keep posting information without sources, overlinking country names or adding countries that have no coverage. And well as you can see in these reverts the pending changes have not worked and usually end up being 90% of rejected. I have been editing this page since 2021 and well the pending changes have not helped much, and it is difficult to organize the information because most of them do not help. In comparison the main Google Street View page has no pending changes and requires users to be registered and autoconfirmed, I would like to apply the same protection for the GSV Coverage page, but first I need to remove this protection so they can put the other protection that requires registered and autoconfirmed accounts, I would be very grateful if someone could do it, I have been working for more than a year on this page (In fact in my sandbox, I am trying to reorganize the article to make it easier to read) and it has been chaos just reviewing the information and adding viable sources with a lot of new IPs and accounts.

TLDR: The page has Pending Changes, but they haven't helped much because a lot of it is vandalic or unsourced contributions, so I need to remove this one first and then add the other one, thanks. Seb { 💬 Talk + 📝 Edits } 21:02, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Church of England

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – We have had IP editors changing the Classification from Anglican to Protestant despite WP:EDITCONSENSUS & a discussion at Talk:Church of England/Archive 1#Protestantism that resulted in no change from the status quo.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation

Reason: Due to AIDS Healthcare Foundation's involvement in affordable housing advocacy, detractors continuously introduce biased content that solely focuses on housing, to the exclusion of the foundation's other work such as HIV treatment programs outside the US. I am not against factual, referenced information, but the edits deliberately cherry-pick biased information. Beltoforion (talk) 16:56, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Long-term vandalism to widely used shortcut redirect. Jalen Folf (talk) 05:21, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Fully protected indefinitely. I'm surprised such a high-visibility and heavily-used redirect was not already protected given the disruption that appears in the contribution history. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:32, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
Why should it be restricted to only administrators? Shouldn't it be only restricted to extended-confirmed users? Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 05:33, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
That's a standard protection level for high-visibility templates, so I just applied the same thing here due to that precedent. Why would this redirect need to be edited? If it does sometime in the future, I'm happy to reduce the protection. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:37, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Reason: I had the page protected twice before (3 and 21 days respectively). Each time after the protection ends, the self-promotion is inserted again.

Brandon Lee

Reason: While most disruptive edits on that page come from an IP address that is removing the partner of the subject from the page. There have been many other types of vandalism on this page. The subject is an actor who was accidentally shot on a film set.

I do believe that the person who is doing that is mentally unstable and should not be editing on Wikipedia. The subject is highly detailed, the article follows an established format and doesn't need much more work. So it's not beging the unregistered user to come and add stuff.

Filmman3000 (talk) 17:39, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

List of Hungarian Nobel laureates

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing and addition of unsourced and poorly sourced content by IPs. The page needs permanent protection as these issues have existed for more than a year now, starting with this edit on 6 September 2021. Since then, edits have become a vicious circle of IP users adding dubious claims, more experienced users removing or correcting those claims, and so on. As the timespan shows, temporary protection is unlikely to solve the problems. – Zsovar3 (talk) 20:27, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

MBC 4

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing from many, many, many IPs. Seems to be the same disruptive person throughout most of the IPs over the past two years (looking through the article history, seems to have begun on *this* article around December 2020). See User talk:Geraldo Perez/Archive 28#Need Some Assistance, re: List of American television programs currently in production and User talk:Geraldo Perez/Archive 29#Tunisia IPs for more on this issue.

There seems to be many other similarly targeted articles such as List of programmes broadcast by MBC 4, which similarly seems to have started becoming a target of this DE/vandalism around November 2020‎. Magitroopa (talk) 19:08, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

I have been sourcing info that shows my claims. Half of the sources cited contain error in correct date and other things. It is not vandalism by Wikipedia terms.

@Jlvsclrk: Sorry to ask you to do more but please encourage other editors to not discuss content on a user talk page.

Or if any admin wants to protect now, please do so. Johnuniq (talk) 06:13, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Reason: High level of vandalism by the same user using different IPs. An IP user consistently adds original research and removes sourced information related to casualty figures. There have been dozens of edits like this over the past year on this page by the same user. The editor also makes the same type of edits on various battle pages where they normally change the casualty figures to lower NVA/VC deaths in the infobox. On pages including Easter Offensive, 1975 spring offensive, Battle of Khe Sanh, Battle of Dak To and more. These pages could also benefit from protection to limit vandalism from this user.

Shervin Hajipour

Reason: Multiply times tried to remove some part of article which have reliable source to verify it. please protect this article, sample edit [37] ZEP55 (talk) 12:58, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution.
ZEP55, your edit summaries fall short. Please avoid automated edit summaries for content disputes. The header for WP:ONUS reads: Verifiability does not guarantee inclusion, so please keep that (and WP:DUE) in mind in your argument for inclusion. Singularitywiki, when you write in an edit summary that: "I am well on top of this topic," that has a strong hint of WP:OWNERSHIP, which should generally be avoided.
The fact is that neither one of you had attempted to use the article talk page (here) to resolve this dispute. Edit warring while failing to do so is sanctionable, so I highly suggest you take it there. If somehow you still find yourselves at an impasse after doing that, there are dispute resolution requests, like WP:3O, WP:RFC or WP:RSN (WP:DRN not recommended) which you could avail yourselves of. Good luck. El_C 15:11, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Thank you. The points that are being focred by my friend @ZEP55 in the article is not relevant to the arrest of Shervin Hajipor and it is not a reaction to his arrest. The content is linked to rs yes, but again rs news has nothing to do with the reaction to arrest of the subject. It is an overall reaction to Death of Mahsa Amini protests, and not subject. my friend tries to connect something irrelevant. And by on top og the topic, I mean I am following it news, and it is in my own native language. So apologies for giving impression of COI. Singularitywiki (talk) 16:30, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

5TheHunter, please stop edit warring against multiple editors. Your talk page note (here) that speaks vaguely about about "vandalism," etc. (see WP:NOTVANDALISM), is inappropriate. Please make a substantive effort to argue for your position, by citing pertinent sources and policy (like WP:DUE). The opening sentence of a page is perhaps its most important component. You can't get your way simply by saying things declaratively. It doesn't work like that. Also, please start using edit summaries, in general. Thanks. El_C 15:28, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

  • Pending changes protection would make the problem invisible to readers, yet probably have no effect on the frequency of the promotional editing, and the persistent need for reverts. It's helpful against vandalism, but this is a case where – due to a lack of vandalism – I wouldn't use it.

Reason: Multiple cellular IP6s making the same significant unsourced edits changing personal details (e.g., photo, DOB, parents, etc.). In particular, there is a several months-long campaign (back to, at least, Feb. 2022) by a sock to remove the photo from the article (see the talk page discussions).

Michael Bryant (politician)

Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – This article has been a repeated source of BLP violations. The subject is the former Attorney General of Ontario and was charged with manslaughter, which was withdrawn by a special prosecutor in 2010. There is a vocal community that believes that decision was unfair, and we regularly get anon and brand new editors who edit the article to create major BLP violations (either directly by calling the subject a murderer, or indirectly by adding their own unsourced commentary to question the basis why the charge was withdrawn).

Last protection expired in June 2022. There's been some BLP violations in September and October 2022 - the last BLP violation stayed up for a 3-4 days before I removed it.

I leave duration up to an admin. Normally I would ask for temporary semi-protection, but given how much there's been in the past, and given how long it has stayed up in the past because there aren't a lot of watchers of the article, I'm wondering if permanent should be considered.

Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Well, I guess blocking the /64 (by HJ Mitchell) didn't work, because it's now showing a /25 for some reason (blocked by JJMC89, which doesn't even display), which also has a whole bunch of p-blocks, so I'm wary of messing with its other /64, but they're still vandalizing other pages, so I blocked just that one IPv4, which probably won't hold. ←One sentence!

List of highest-grossing Bangladeshi films

Reason: The page was protected for many times. Last the protection was removed from the page, a 16 days old user edited the page and put misinformation. I was busy so I couldn't see it. Today a person tell me about that. In past these spam edits were made from IP. Now they are creating Wikipedia account to make them reliable. So I think the page need full protection with longer time. I know it is not enough reason for approval but I reverted their actions and soon they will try again and spam the page. So from my experience with Bangladeshi film related articles I can say we need to protect the page but with increased level. Mehedi Abedin 22:45, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Okay. The unconstructive edits will continue to happen. The page was protected recently to prevent Wikipedia:Vandalism. (i.e: Cleveland Indians Hall of Fame vs Cleveland Guardians Hall of Fame) Brotherbenz (talk) 15:49, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
No it wasn't. THat was literally just 1 edit. And the last time is was protected was for edit warring, not vandalism. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:07, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
Two different editors reverted the attempt to change the article a few weeks back because said change was inaccurate due to the Hall of Fame name having been changed along with that of the team. The article has been stable under that name since November 2021, the last time someone briefly tried to reintroduce the old, and therefore no longer accurate, name. That time, the change was swiftly reverted without controversy. Rather than go to the talk page to build a new consensus as strongly suggested by WP:BRD, you came here asking for the page to be protected. Now you claim an edit war when the article was once again reverted to its state prior to this round of disruption in an edit that remained uncontested for four days until you once again returned to champion your inaccurate change and a different editor not even involved the first time once again attempted to return the article to its unvarnished state. For context, every article about an inductee was updated after the Hall of Fame officially changed its name, and they have all been stable in that state with the exception of your attempts to change the name to something else on this one page without trying to build a consensus for said change. It's a very interesting tactic to disrupt an article and then seek protection for the disruptions. Indrian (talk) 16:09, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
Vandalism of Shoeless Joe Jackson article
I presume you are not overly familiar with Major League Baseball, for that is the only reason I can think of why a persistent act of vandalism would be labeled a "content dispute." To elaborate, the Cleveland baseball club was named the Indians from 1915-2021, at which time it was renamed the Guardians due to concerns over the name. This was a controversial decision in the so-called "culture wars" in the United States. When the team changed its name, all the organizations that it owns and operates also changed their names, including the Hall of Fame, which is now the Cleveland Guardians Hall of Fame. Our own page on the topic has been updated to reflect this name change, while every article about an inductee has been updated to reflect the current name of the institution in which they have been enshrined. Sadly, a sizeable contingent of the fanbase refuses to acknowledge the new name for a variety of reasons. The Shoeless Joe Jackson article appears to have been targeted by those that are unhappy with this situation. Regardless of one's views, however, it is a fact that the name is now the Cleveland Guardians Hall of Fame. The "Cleveland Indians Hall of Fame" quite simply no longer exists. It was pretty brazen for a user vandalizing an article to request protection for the article they were disrupting, but I find it even more shocking that an admin upheld a vandal's position. Protect the page by all means, but the vandalous edit should also be rolled back. Indrian (talk) 13:33, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
I presume you are not overly familiar with Wikipedia talk pages, for that is the only reason I can think of why you would not understand that this is not Talk:Shoeless Joe Jackson. I presume you are not overly familiar with Wikipedia:Vandalism, for that is the only reason I can think of why you would not understand that what the other person was doing isn't vandalism. No matter how much you want to call it that. It may surprise you to know that I don't have to be "overly familiar with Major League Baseball" to be able to follow the changing of various racist and derogatory team names in North American sports, Edmonton Elks and Washington Commanders for example.

Pending changes protection is thus not a solution. Also, there have been quite few protection attempts, so indefinite protection would be an excessive jump.

@El C:I understand why, the edits by WP:3X-banned editor Jellywings19 are apparently constructive, or at least seemingly harmless, but also include some totally fake stuff. A majority of edits are either them or other editors reverting them. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 07:23, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Geraldo Perez, WP:UPROT says: User pages and subpages within their own user space may be protected upon a request from the user, as long as a need exists. Pages within the user space should not be automatically or pre-emptively protected without good reason or cause (emphasis added). I don't see how your request establishes such a "need" or constitute such a "good reason or cause." As far as I can see, the last IP to have edited your user page was back in 2014.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism w/ threats (see revdels), block evading. Dylnuge (Talk • Edits) 16:13, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Note that this article also is WP:PROD, so maybe protection is inappropriate since it'd eliminate the ability of unconfirmed users to contest deletion. Dylnuge (Talk • Edits) 16:14, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 36 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Given the PROD, going with a short approach until the threats subside, an anon/new editor can place an edit request if needed for the period of protection to remove the PROD tag.

Fascism

The following 4th paragraph incorrectly blends fascism and nazism. "Fascism rejects assertions that violence is inherently bad and views imperialism, political violence and war as means to national rejuvenation.[11] Fascists often advocate for the establishment of a totalitarian one-party state,[12][13] and for a dirigiste[14][15] economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky (national economic self-sufficiency) through protectionist and economic interventionist policies.[16] Fascism's extreme authoritarianism and nationalism often manifests as belief in racial purity or a master race, usually blended with some variant of racism or bigotry against a demonized "Other", such as Jews. These ideas have motivated fascist regimes to commit genocides, massacres, forced sterilizations, mass killings, and forced deportations.[17]

The fascist doctrine conceived in Italy did not advocate war or racial inferiority or superiority but a system of government based on socialism and marxism followed by a forceful policy of implimentation. All people regardless of race were part of the fascist revolution provided they were loyal to the state. The use of the term fascism as a motivation to the ills mentioned above is illogical, for example Genocide practiced on the Philippine people during the spanish american war (1.4 million as young as 10 years of age) massacres based on race (KKK) and american indians, forced sterilizations (60,000 americans, based on state laws and upheld by supreme court justice O.W. Holmes), ethnic concentration camps (japanese americans over 100,000) forced deportations or barring jewish refugees entry, were never instituted or practiced in Italy on Italian soil or colonial territory under fascism and Mussolini. To imply these actions practiced by the United States, Turkey and Nazi Germany as "fascism" would redefine Mussolini's government as non-fascist. Historical documentation and recent book authors confirming this fact would include Emmanuelle Sica, Nicholas Farrell, L. T. Samells, Orwell, Zeev Sternhell, Clara Zetkin, and many others.

You're going to want to be more specific as to what sources you intend to cite, providing the necessary bibliography if it's a nonfiction book source (title, author, publisher, year of publication, pages cited, ISBN/OCLC#) or a research whitepaper (title, authors, journal, year of publication).

Mike Schank

Reason: For whatever reason, there is a dynamic IP repeatedly changing the subject's sourced age at death to a vague age range. They are over WP:3RR by now: [57] [58] [59] [60]

While I figure this IP is probably acting in good faith, it's not clear from these summaries what they're trying to do, and I'm not sure how to contact them because they have at least three addresses at this point. Could this page be semi-locked, please (and their latest edit reverted)? Maybe they can explain themselves on the talk page if so. Nohomersryan (talk) 00:50, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

taiwan

Because the United Nations considers 'Taiwan' as a province of China with no separate status, and the '"authorities' in 'Taipei' are not considered to enjoy any form of government status. So I think in the sentence "Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC) is a country in East Asia" is wrong , it should be changed to be a disputed province of China in East Asia.

Free Peru

Reason: Requesting an increase (or change) in page protection settings to permanently lock out anonymous users. From a reader's standpoint the pending changes have been beneficial because they are not immediately redirected to F1 Circus as a joke. From an editor's standpoint, nothing has changed; the same vandal hops across different IPs and we cannot range block because that is too broad of a range, and the article is restored and reviewed over and over every day. I know someone else might point out that permanently disabling editing privileges for an article for anonymous users needs very strong justification, and I think this constant vandalism is it. I think the benefit (not having the article wiped once or twice a day by one committed vandal) far outweighs the consequence I just mentioned. If anyone would like to make a constructive edit but does not have an account, they can request it on the talk page. Yue🌙 06:18, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Bharat Jodo Yatra

Reason: IPs keep making disruptive edits, unnecessarily stretch the page's length. They also have not replied to any of the talk page articles regarding the dispute and keep reverting to their preferred version which goes against WP:CONSENSUS and WP:ONUS. They also want to keep a daily journal of the event on the page which quite clearly breaches WP:SUMMARY. They dodge arguments on the talk page and do not let anyone trim the article. Some examples of their reverts: [61], [62], [63], [64]. If not permanent protection then atleast please temporarily semi-protect the page until a consensus is reached on the talk page.

No edits during this period were useful edits by unregistered or non-autoconfirmed users. FYI, the article is covered by abortion-related DS.

Several vandal targets

Plus maybe some more.

Reason: These pages have been vandalised recently by a few users and all could be protected per WP:ARBEE. So, with that being said, on a case-by-case basis either extended-confirmed-protection or semi-protection on all or some of the articles. Thiscouldbeauser (talk) 06:29, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Beyond the aforementioned user's vandalism, the frequency of disruption is way too low for semi-protection, let alone extended-confirmed – Warsaw was three days ago and before that was only vandalised on 1 October; Yeltsin was 7 October; Lithuania was 17 October; Moldova was three days ago and disruption before that was on 7 October; Estonia was on 6 October.

Declined. Unsourced edits are not vandalism, Archer1234. A quick online search verifies that claim. Wouldn't it have been better to search for a source? I'm not convinced that the information is sufficiently controversial to qualify for BLP protection. Sdrqaz (talk) 02:10, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Sdrqaz, thanks for the response. Definitely not vandalism. That was a mistake on my part in Twinkle in inadvertently picking the wrong menu option when I submitted the request. I just now struck that out above. The IPs are running all over the place making similar updates on multiple BLPs. I was hoping we could slow 'em down a bit at the page/article level instead of playing Whac-a-mole getting them blocked. The idea is to get them to provide the sources themselves instead of relying on other editors to do their work for them. But to answer your question, no, I don't think it would have been better for me to search for a source. But that's just my opinion. People in good faith can disagree with me on that. – Archer1234 (talk) 02:23, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Fascism

Change from; (paragraph 4)

Fascism rejects assertions that violence is inherently bad and views imperialism, political violence and war as means to national rejuvenation.[11] Fascists often advocate for the establishment of a totalitarian one-party state,[12][13] and for a dirigiste[14][15] economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky (national economic self-sufficiency) through protectionist and economic interventionist policies.[16] Fascism's extreme authoritarianism and nationalism often manifests as belief in racial purity or a master race, usually blended with some variant of racism or bigotry against a demonized "Other", such as Jews. These ideas have motivated fascist regimes to commit genocides, massacres, forced sterilizations, mass killings, and forced deportations.[17]

These Nazi ideologies (Mein Kampf) have motivated Nazi type regimes to commit genocides, massacres, forced sterilizations, mass killings, and forced deportations.[17]

Add to end of 4th paragraph;

(Although Italy and Germany were dictatorial alliances, and the word fascism has now become synonymous with evil, interestingly fascist doctrine conceived in Italy did not include racial inferiority or superiority but loyalty to the State by all, and Mussolini did not allow for - or practice the establishment of concentration camps for ethnic groups, genocide, or forced sterilization as exhibited in Germany, Russia and the United States [regarding Japanese Americans, American Indians, African Americans, and in the Philippines of 1.4 million during the Spanish American War]. In respect to forced deportations, the Italian Fascist government and military prevented the incarceration of the Jewish community by the Vichy government under Nazi orders in Italian occupied France and allowed for the entry into their zone of other French Jews saving over 40,000 people from deportation to German concentration camps. A larger number is estimated in the other Italian held regions of Croatia, Greece, and Tunisia.

Sustainability

Reason: There have been many unconstructive edits by new users to this article lately which take a lot of time to review and then revert. The edits are not as such spam but they seem to just pick out a random publication and then take some content that is vaguely related to sustainability from that publication. I wonder if there is a student assignment going on somewhere (no information about it has been put on the talk page). These new users are so far only editing the sustainability article and nothing else. Quite time consuming to clean up after them. Can we have this article protected for at least a few months? Thanks.

President of the Los Angeles City Council and Los Angeles City Council

Semi-protection: A series of IPs keep reverting all edits made by registered users. This has been going on for 10 days. The page consensus is that the 8-day acting president should not be added to the list, and that the 8-day acting president did not vacate the position of president pro tempore, yet the IP keeps making edits contrary to consensus. Additionally, the IPs (who may all be the same person) keep reverting to restore their version of the table, but in the process they just mass revert, thereby eliminating edits to URLs, edits to photos, edits to content, etc. which have nothing to do with restoring the acting president to the table.

This is happening at both President of the Los Angeles City Council and Los Angeles City Council. OCNative (talk) 22:04, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

September 2022 Burkina Faso coup d'état

Reason: Over the article's existence, a series of IPs have repeatedly inserted a certain "Ibambe L'Monsein" into the article. In doing so, they have also claimed that "Ibambe L'Monsein" is mentioned by references which do not mention him at all. In fact, I could not find any proof of "Ibambe L'Monsein" even existing at all, so these IPs are probably vandals. After a period of a few weeks during which the IPs did not restore the probable fantasy figure to the article, they have recently become more persistent in repeatedly (re-)adding "Ibambe L'Monsein" into the article, so the article needs protection. Applodion (talk) 19:11, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Passing remark without reviewing the page history: "mon sein" is French for "my breast", although that doesn't preclude it being a real person's surname. Not sure what "Ibambe" would mean though, as a gag name. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 21:41, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Rumi

Reason: Religious outlook🔗 There are many proven works of Mevlana. Some of the documents mentioned in the article do not belong to Mevlana. [Ref. No: 81,82,83,84,85,86,87,89,90,91]

What exactly is necessary for the protection of a work on Wikipedia? If it's about how full the page looks, no problem, but if it's about keeping the page content away from untrue information, then I'm in the right place Please check the reference numbers above. Which of the links shown as sources belong to Mevlana? Yes, there are sentences belonging to Mevlana in it, but who is the author of this content? Is it Mevlana? If your answer is no, Why do you use the name of the mawla with false quotations and protect it?

Please we are all sane mature people who want things to improve. The fact that a third person who does not belong to the owner writes a book in detail and documents it in their own way does not show that the information in it is 100% correct. I think there is a major overlooked omission. This information is of no use to anyone and creates more controversy.

Writing a book takes imagination, time and desire. Nobody wants to create an environment where someone with these can use wikipedia's resources as they wish. Otherwise, let me create a library of Mevlana's books translated from Persian. Then I will make a perception operation on wikipedia by citing this as a source.

We do not want to manipulate pages by impersonating the person we want using Wikipedia and translation books. We are not gangs. We are not uneducated people. We just want things to evolve. We know the purpose of Wikipedia and produce and protect content accordingly. We do not like to impersonate the person we want with some manipulations such as translation books.... Right?

If your answer is defensive, please do not write it. I don't want to know that Wikipedia is such a place. vSky 16:20, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because the article does not receive much vandalism anymore and I feel that it would be better to let everybody edit the article so that the article is able to achieve higher standards. ― If we can make even the darkness shine, it will become a starry sky | Dulcetia 15:02, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

That's actually pretty quickly; I am surprised about the low amount of protection attempts before indefinite semi-protection was applied. As that was over a year ago and the disruption in game articles is likely to decrease over time, I have replaced the semi-protection by a month of pending changes protection.

Jaguar

My proposed edit is to include the more recently discovered fact that the (previously thought to be) 9 subspecies are not in fact subspecies of the Jaguar but are simply just different genetic phenotypes of the same species; Panthera onca. I also intend to include that there is evidence of more diverse genes in certain populations compared to others which may lead to speciation. source:https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0162377 CalebTeslow (talk) 17:14, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
