As usual, no source for the wild claims. Editor claims editors editing from northern and southern England a few minutes apart are the same person.

Temporary pending changes: Persistent vandalism – This dab page hardly needs any changes and has been a recent vandalism target. I would probably ask for indef-PC but seems like a bit too early at this stage. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 00:31, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Short-term semi-protecting because of recent burst of vandalism. Vandalism over the last year or so is not frequent enough to justify PC protection. MelanieN (talk) 02:40, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of rumours and otherwise uncited material. DarkKnight2149 21:47, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined The first guy who added that unsourced paragraph has more than 700 edits, so neither PC nor semi-protection affect him. The IP who added it again today is pretty much the only disruptive IP in the last week or so. In short, I don't see enough disruption here to justify protection. If that changes, let us know. :-) Katietalk 22:30, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be a request to "please protect my preferred version". Yes, it's a BLP. Yes, there has been edit warring... to restore BLP violating content. So why are you participating in the edit warring by restoring BLP violating material [1]? Volunteer Marek (talk) 01:00, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Consider reporting to the BLP noticeboard instead of relying on this exemption." NeilN talk to me 01:09, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I did in fact report it to BLP/N [2]. There wasn't much discussion but the one user who did comment, administrator User:Sphilbrick, did agree with me that some of these edits are BLP violations.Volunteer Marek (talk) 01:13, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Longer-term semi-protection: For no reason I can discern, this is one of the most heavily-edited articles under pending-changes protection. While some of the edits in question have no issues, most do: they're not necessarily vandalism but they'll be from novice editors who don't follow rules regarding sourcing, critical-consensus stuff, trivia, and so on. Yesterday, Ice Age: Collision Course was edited 18 times with (by my count) eight edits that were pending-changes reverts, seven made by autoconfirmed editors who aren't subject to the restriction, three excellent edits that were restricted because their editor (User:Firemancer6723) is just barely short of getting autoconfirmed, and zero edits from anonymous or other non-autoconfirmed users that were kept. Pending-changes protection is intended for "infrequently edited articles that are experiencing high levels of...troublesome edits". This article is experiencing "high levels of...troublesome edits" so does the fact that it's definitely no longer "infrequently edited" qualify it for semi-protection?

Indefinite semi-protection: Page was protected once before by Materialscientist under a vandalism claim; protection expired on 4 March 2016, and IPs then resumed either vandalism, repeated previous spelling mistakes, or deliberately switched West Africa with West Asia (and West Philadelphia). It looks like temporary protection didn't solve the problem here. This is a large, important article that gets more than 2,000 views at least once a week. The worthy vigilance of editors like Andy Dingley and David.moreno72 is great, especially since the kinds of problem edits being made are NOT the ones that get caught by bots (and therefore require a human to notice and fix!), but could be made unnecessary if the page were finally given indefinite semi-protection.

I want the user to be banned from sending comments to a talkpage in my name. I am quite prepared to talk about content, but because they never talk about content but just hack and abuse and patronise me personally, i am not prepared to accept any more comments from this user. @Church is another one of their acolytes who jumps on the bandwagon of harrassing for the sake of it. If you have something to say about an History article then make a remark about Content. But they never know. I know history, so if you want to discuss history articles then talk about that. But they know nothing; they are disagreeable, unpleasant and pointless HACKERS! They are both banned from contacting my address ever again thank you. I made the point that i wrote an article twice about "Habibullah Khan" and on both occasions it has been deleted for no reason. There are longer articles about other King of Afghanistan but they hated my articles because it was not short. So they deleted it. They are hackers and serial deleters.

Declined unequivocally. To set the record straight, requests for discussion were not ignored (see the talk page). The challenged material was re-added over and over without a single inline citation. That's textbook disruptive editing. @4.15.30.244:, you are the one who is not understanding "WP policies… for inclusion of edits." The talk page discussion linked by Jonesey95 confirms that. Now, whether these policies—designed to demand accountability and promote rigorous research—are ones that you agree with or whether they are conducive to an inclusive and nurturing editing environment is another discussion entirely.

Full creation protection/"salting" (i.e. admin only). Multiple recreations (by user Anassjerjawi) of an article that was deleted at AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Euro- Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor; the only difference in the name is the space after "Euro-" in the version that was deleted at AfD, added to evade scrutiny...), an article that has previously also been repeatedly recreated under a number of slightly different names. All three of the new recreations have been nominated for CSD G4. Requesting full creation protection since the repeated recreations are made by autoconfirmed SPAs. Thomas.W talk 11:05, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@KrakatoaKatie: Slightly rephrased but substantially the same, and still no sources that establish the notability of the subject, only the organisation's own press releases, articles mentioning those press releases and articles mentioning and/or interviewing people working for them. Just like the article that was deleted at AfD. And to that we can add that all the people who represent the organisation (one of whom, Qualitatis, has been blocked indefinitely) do nothing but recreate the article under different names (to evade scrutiny), add the organisation's own pressreleases to articles here and edit-war to keep them in (including in articles under Arab-Israel discretionary sanctions). Check the contributions of the latest person to claim to represent them, Anassjerjawi. All of it just to get publicity for the organisation. Thomas.W talk 13:45, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[1] Because of these events her Wikipedia article has been subject to numerous cases of vandalism by many IP addresses and therefore should be placed under semi-protection to stop future vandalism on her page. The most recent vandalism on the page changed her name to Harambe (a gorilla) and then later Trayvon Martin. Williamcasey (talk) 05:24, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection for 6 months: The article has been given protection multiple times in the past. It has constantly been the scene of biased edits and attacks mostly by IPs and new accounts which have ranged from calling the subject a "freedom fighter" to being termed a "terrorist" despite WP:TERRORIST prohibit anyone. In addition it has also been the scene of constant edit-warring over one thing or another in the past. It has also been the scene of socking. Since it's protection expired, it has been the scene of multiple disruptive edits: [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] and [9].

Burhan Wani was a notorious militant. Therefore it is expected that disrupted edits will be made on the article if it does not have any protection. Some articles of notorious militants have high levels of protection eg., Osama bin Laden which has indefinite semi-protection to prevent vandalism. There is no doubt disruptive edits are going to continue unabated on the article of Burhan Wani. I request that the article of Burhan Wani be given semi-protection for 6 months, the sentiment about the subject's death might die down until then.

You guys aren't native English speakers, are you ? If you are, you should know what I meant. You posted it as "were", well if they "were" (past tense), then who "are" (present tense) at the moment ? If someone asks you who the current champions are, what do you answer ? Since you posted it as "were", you have to say somebody else's name. And you can't, because (based on your logic) the event does not have any champions. How does that make sense ? Please explain to me. Neprotivo1 (talk) 16:24, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Owing to mad Political Correctness the page "Dr Fritz Grobba" has been deleted. Grobba was a Nazi. Oh Dear! such a crime means that Stalinization has rubbed out this character from the pages of Wikipedia! Why? There were links yet again to my carefully researched article, where yet again my scholarship and erudite inclusion of as many sources as i could find, was ignored for spreading the virus of cynical complacency. The end of my article on the RHG was cut short in order to exclude among other Dr Grobba. Yet agin the Hasksters prefer the poverty of Ignorance and PC moves to the right kind of writing. Please stp Hacking on my pages, truncating, hacking images and pictures, indiscriminate deletions, false accusations of plagiarisng and sock-puppetry. Please do not merge articles together to save time! You do not undersand for example, why Werner von Henting was not involved directly, but indirectly with the Hindu-German Conspiracy, and the early part of his career that i have meticulously researched has been cut out altogether!!!!!!??!! WHY?????? He had a long career during 1914-1918 war. So why is it missing? I am sorry you hate the Nazis but that is not a good enough reason to hack these pages and then mail merge the outcomes. I do not cut and paste large chunks, and try to write in my own words. Please reinstate "Dr Fritz Grobba" - and please stop using me as a Hobby horse for your joyrides!!! .

Temporary semi-protection.

Ever since, her name is constantly showing up on the Pending Changes list because people cannot stop trying to insert insidious connotations by replacing the word "falling" with "diving" within the article.

Note: I did some digging, and the last time this article was protected 9 years ago was for edits like this one. The IP seems to be removing content that is similar to what got the article semiprotected, for "patent spam," way back in the day. I understand that blanking may not be the most productive way to improve articles, especially when the material that is removed isn't clearly spam, but I'll defer to another admin here for course of action. My brain is tired. Airplaneman 04:46, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to add some context, if this helpful. The content that the user is repeatedly removing is less do with patent above (which I agree should have been removed) but to do with the quality monitoring of commercial products in the market. By my understanding, products can be qualified based on ratio or based on standardization, while the edits are moving information only about standardization, but not ratio. I believe both should be included in the article, and I have provided a government pages (Australian and Malaysian) as reference that standardization is a notable enough technique. The user has claimed that this reference and others are spam of an Eastern European company. Cominion (talk) 05:43, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I understand the frustration here, but I'm averse to semi-protecting because (i) there seem to be some good contributions from new/unregistered users and (ii) the disruption isn't rampant (i.e. daily). Hopefully pending changes will offer a more rigorous mode of review. @JJBers: Let me know in the future if things get out of hand. Airplaneman 15:07, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Permanent semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism- Two of the IP addresses I noticed were making same kind of Vandalism: User:199.167.109.250 and User:103.15.60.84, both removing well sourced entries of 1900 Paris Olympics from sections "Medal Table" and "Medalists" in all tables. These users don't care anything even about the sources with those entries. Moreover, this page is heavily edited by IP users (most of them are non-constructive in their edits). Some users including those two mentioned above try to impose their own POV on the page. I think the most probable problem with these users is their rival mindset towards India or the Olympics or the specific medalist athlete (Norman Pritchard here). This article needs urgent and immediate protection to prevent disruption by such vandalizing users. Vibhss (talk) 14:04, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Four days ago, I asked for the advice of NeilN concerning how to proceed concerning three editors on this page.

Hi User:KrakatoaKatie and User:JzG. The two pages are not identical and would not fall under WP:CSD#G4. The second AfD [26] occured on 5 January 2016. This summer, there was a wave of news coverage about the subject (ie [27] and [28] that occured in April and June). The new coverage is not local coverage (what the second AfD nomination reason for deletion was about), it is national and global coverage (Here is the story in Vietnam [29] and Czech [30]). Before I wrote the page, I asked User:Rklawton, the person who nominated the page for AfD the second time, if he was OK with me re-creating the page. User:Rklawton stated that the new wave of coverage that happened this summer makes the subject notable. Therefore I created it. Once again, it is not an identical draft, it is no longer just local coverage, and it now has national/global coverage. CerealKillerYum (talk) 23:16, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@CerealKillerYum and Kagundu: Since Guy is active, you need to take this to his talk page. He apparently does not use the ping system. It's been through two AFDs already so the barrier is pretty high for this one, and it's Guy you need to convince here. Katietalk 03:02, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I compared the deleted version with the draft. They are very similar, and the sources are the same. Guy (Help!) 09:04, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I think this whole deal stinks on ice. It's obvious that Gorny's minions bought a wave of publicity as all the new stories pretty much say the same thing - rags to riches (yay) - and they all came out around the same time period (not long after we deleted his last article). I'm also deeply suspicious of anyone promoting the Gorny biography and would favor an investigation that would potentially lead to a life-time editing ban. On the other hand, my personal paranoia should not dictate which articles go up, and international coverage is international coverage, and we need evidence rather than coincidence before even thinking about banning anyone. On a tangential note, do we have a standard where we set a personal net wealth value that automatically makes someone notable? We might save ourselves some trouble if we did (but probably not).

Indefinite semi-protection: An IP keeps constantly removing sourced information, making the article look less like a Wikipedia article, etc. and never stops. The page was semi-protected for a while and when the page stopped being semi-protected, the IP returned and started making lots of edits again. Temporary semi-protection won't work because the IP will wait for the semi-protection to disappear. EuropeanSwedenAmerican2222 (talk) 19:52, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined I think the Talk:Main Page would perennially be a high-visibility page, with lots of Soapboxing and/or general vandalism going on, something that temporary semi protection wouldn't solve. Plus, I would be inclined to say that the high visibility is one of the reasons it should not be protected.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent edit warring (removal of sources and un-sourced edits) by an IP editor. Unknown IP editor is constantly changing the result of an offensive from Syrian Army victory to Indecisive, removing sources for the Army victory as well, calling them biased pro-Syrian Army sources, even though one of the sources cited is in fact a pro-rebel source. The IP editors removal of sources and un-sourced changes has been reverted by a total of four editors (including myself), but he still continued to change the result of the offensive, without providing any sources himself. Also note, he made 7 reverts in less than 24 hours, while all Syrian war-related articles are under a general 1RR rule (3RR if IP edits are being reverted).

23 August 2016

Full Protection Persistent debate for one full week involving administrators and very experienced editors resulted in a complete melt-down of the article over the week-end with section blanking initiated by Vistoriaearle. The issue is related to harsh debate on CITEVAR and possibly related to strong feelings which multiple editors have for the late Wadewitz as a highly respected editor. Editors have resorted to vulgarity, defensive use of the "f---" word, defensive personal attacks, and now section blanking over the week-end. I have start the RfC to resolve this and am requesting a 30-day RFPP, which in theory should apply to the administrators involved as well, to allow a cool down period, and I have restored the neutral peer reviewed version of the article as reviewed by Miniapolis for GOCE until the RfC is completed. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 15:30, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question: I appreciate that this is an article subject to a noisy content dispute, but looking at the history, in which you've carried out a string of reverts to your preferred version and then immediately come here requesting full protection, regardless of your intention this is going to look like an attempt to win an editwar by getting the page locked into your preferred version. In light of this, I'm extremely reluctant to full-protect an article this high-profile without a broad consensus from those involved in it; do the other participants in the content dispute (particularly those opposing you) also endorse the idea of temporarily protecting it? ‑ Iridescent 23:32, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Declined The article is far too much in flux to protect - whatever state I locked it on will have somebody yelling about it being the wrong version and trying to find a pre-dispute version to roll back to would be even worse. It's been 24 hours since your reverts and nothing's happened so far, so I think it's best to wait for the RfC you started on talk and all the related discussions to play out.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. 73.96.115.19 (talk) 20:37, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think protection is required here. One IP address is making disruptive edits. The last warning has been given. If the IP makes similar edit, someone or me should take action. (not adding any template here at this moment) --Tito Dutta (talk) 20:46, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Titodutta: Well.. There appears to be two IP's involved as of recently... But more outstanding in my opinion, is that the vandalism has gone back for quite awhile now... From August 3 – August 9, there were two instances of IP vandalism (from different IP addresses than the ones that I listed above), and overall, the disruption has gone back since December 2015. Though, the vandalism is subtle and not very rapid, so maybe pending changes may be a better idea here... 73.96.113.19 (talk) 23:20, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There is not much activity in the article (refer last 50/100 edits). I am a little reluctant to PC protect the article. I believe that the last attack was from a single editor. If they come back, action will be taken. --Tito Dutta (talk) 04:45, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I was asked to provide my perspective here. As I see it, vandalism makes up the majority of contributions in the past month or so, and I do think PC protection fits better than semi-protection here. I this this is a borderline case in terms of volume of disruption, so I understand why Tito was hesitant in issuing a protection. It does seem like some vandalism slipped through the cracks and the article had to be restored a few versions back, so I think pending changes will make catching things a little easier.

Changes subject to review: I made a request earlier too, but it eas declined. Since then the situation hasn't improved a bit. The article has been the scene of multiple edit wars. My appeals to follow the policies and discuss seem to be falling on deaf ears (no insult intended) sometimes. People seem to be editing based on what they want and what they believe rather than what the sources say. Unless some serious protection is given to the article, this problem will persist. Therefore I request all changes be subject to review on the article so they can be discussed before being made. DinoBambinoNFS (talk) 20:00, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion is by consensus, not administrator fiat, and it's likely the AfD will fail. Besides, we don't delete articles just because they might attract vandals. This is the reason Full Protection exists. LavaBaron (talk) 05:44, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The current article is problematic as is (and contains material from an article which was previous deleted at AfD), so fully protecting the article would remove the ability to edit it.

Temporary semi-protection: article was previously granted temporary semi-protection for four days (see diff here) after a string of IP and new user edits which were inaccurate and in some cases were copyvios. Article became unprotected yesterday and once again has had a string of inaccurate edits being made by IP users. Maybe we could go for a two week semi-protection which might make them get bored and give up? Ebonelm (talk) 09:34, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mlpearc, I agree there's some confusion but I now agree with Ritchie333 per WP:UPROT. --NeilN talk to me 16:53, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Mlpearc: (pingspam to NeilN and Ritchie333) Yea, speaking from anecdotal memory, I think the norm was way more favorable towards semi-protection in these cases a few years ago, but I think that has shifted in recent times. It all depends on what is considered demonstrated need. I definitely still have to adjust some of my protection decisions in accordance with this "new" UPROT SOP. Airplaneman 19:45, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah... I think this clause in the policy is worthy of another discussion. Some (most) user pages are not meant for collaboration, so it seems it's of little consequence to protect them on request, at least for trusted users whom we know aren't going to put up something inappropriate MusikAnimal talk 01:03, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Primarily because that is what the anon claimed and secondarily, because when I used it {{Inflation|CA|514|2011}} I did not see 544, I saw 514, which is the original value. Feel free to disregard that. The template is working as designed. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:12, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not done Cool, thanks for the note. Looks like things have cooled down here and protection is not necessary at this time. Airplaneman 06:18, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request for indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing and vandalism of the page by an unknown and unconfirmed IP for at least 7-8 in the past 20 days. The IP is adding tags to the page without any reason in this page where work is ongoing and lots of information are being added on the page everyday. Every distinct information is mentioned but he is trying to disrupt the process in every way possible. The IP is repeatedly vandalising the page with his rule-breaking reverts without raising the issue in the talk page. He also made 4-5 reverts in one day (before a week or so) which is clearly not within rules. Time for a new protection so that the page is protected and reliable contributors can carry on their work without any hindrance as lots of work is being done with the page each day in accordance to the pages of other leading international football referees but this IP is trying to disrupt the process and is constantly attempting to have the standard format broken. Please provide an extended protection because this IP is returning after 3-4 days and beginning with his edit warring every time. An administrator or any other concerned person please help!

Eshal/Eishal Fayyaz model pages

Create protection - There's a paid COI issue with this NN actress/model. Article at Eshal was AfDed previously, and there was an SPI and a COI/paid editing issue at the time. A new user confirmed as a sock of the previous has now recreated the article at Eishal Fayyaz and moved it over redir to Eshal, claiming it was a "misspelling" (which it was not; it was a deliberate attempt to get around the article content being seen prior to the move). The namespaces are CSD by a banned user, and have been tagged. Therefore, I'd like the actual page, the misspelling, as well as the pages that are the subject's birth name and a potential misspelling of that to be salted.

Hey Jim, Thanks for the message. I'm new to Wikipedia but I currently work as a representative to Jake Cawsey. As an agency we feel the information you've provided, as good as it is, it's too much. We are trying to keep it short and concentrate on his main achievements in soccer. Within the next day or two, we will be making the correct adjustments to his page and we kindly ask that you leave them alone. We respect you taking an interest in Jacob, however, we just want him to be represented in the way we feel will help him reach his goals.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Kkjj has been disruptively editing this article for over a month by continuing to add categories or other changes that have been disputed on the talk page to the point where it became slow-motion edit warring. They were warned multiple times by me and others, but they refused to listen and an edit warring report was eventually filed. However, no action was taken initially, but later the user was issued a warning by an administrator that they risk being blocked should they continue. Alongside that, they've edited logged out and used other IPs to continue their disruption or they've had meat puppets perform their disruption, including the latest one seen on the article history: 2602:306:83A9:3D00:E1D3:773E:4FB6:1CD1. Edit is exactly the same as Kkjj's, so I am pretty much positive it's them. I'm not sure if a semi-protection would prevent Kkjj from editing since they've been a member since July 31, 2015, in which case a block, which I believe is justified, would be needed for them. However, I don't see anywhere that their account has auto-confirmed or extended auto-confirmed status, unless I'm missing something. Amaury (talk | contribs) 23:22, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Elephant (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Elephant has been semi-protected for 10 years, because of a vandalism prank by Stephen Colbert in 2006.

Check the page history soon after I unprotected it: vandalism quickly resumed. I never imagined that Colberrorism would still be a factor, but it was! I have no objections to an unprotection test, as long as the unprotecting admin is willing to check the page over the following few days in case reprotection becomes necessary. It's like a WP:ROPE situation: either we'll be able to make another page editable by everyone, or we'll have proof that semiprotection is still necessary here.
