Request for page protection

Can you please consider applying pending changes protection to the article Luka Dončić–Anthony Davis trade? There's a fair amount of disruption/vandalism from IPs, but there also seems to be some constructive (or at least good-faith) contributions. Left guide (talk) 07:25, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the following evidence: March 3 vandalism, March 6 unexplained mass blanking, March 8 vandalism. Or consider page-blocking this /64 who is responsible for two of those three edits and is already page-blocked from Nico Harrison for similar shenanigans. Left guide (talk) 07:34, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Left guide: Added Luka Dončić–Anthony Davis trade to that /64's restrictions. —Bagumba (talk) 12:22, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping. That /64 has since gone to Rob Pelinka with their vandalism, which appears to include a troll or personal attack on you. Unfortunately, page-blocking might be merely whack-a-mole at this point. Can you consider stronger administrative action? (i.e. site block/anon block) Left guide (talk) 07:54, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And now more of the same at 2024–25 Dallas Mavericks season. Sorry to keep bugging. Left guide (talk) 02:26, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Left guide: Blocked for 2 weeks. —Bagumba (talk) 03:25, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please apply pending changes protection to the article? There's now two different IPs vandalizing the article, with other IPs having to fix it, just seems like an unnecessary situation. The first instance was live on the article for five and a half hours, seems like a straightforward WP:BLP violation case imo. Left guide (talk) 08:58, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like enough history to just do 1 month semi. —Bagumba (talk) 09:06, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, no objections. Thanks for helping as always. Left guide (talk) 09:09, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Russell

Can you please semi-protect Bill Russell due to recent disruption? And can you also consider a WP:DUCK block on Chips291009 as a likely sockpuppet of Gravy12219? Left guide (talk) 09:21, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And/or possibly a rev-del of the offending edit from the newer account, which seems out of line. I just now noticed you were the one who rev-delled the older account's edits. Left guide (talk) 09:36, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Left guide: I'd want to see more overlap in style to say DUCK. An WP:SPI with a WP:CHECKUSER request might show a match. I did revdel. A couple of rogue users is a bit under my threshold for cutting off other potential good faith non-autoconfirmed editors. Regards. —Bagumba (talk) 12:04, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But I noticed the page just came off of a 1-month protection, so that shows continued abuse. Protected for 3 mos. —Bagumba (talk) 12:10, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Filing SPI paperwork is above my pay grade lol, especially for an account with only one edit who's not directly harming me. Thanks for pitching in with admin tools where you feel comfortable. Left guide (talk) 12:35, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Trey Jemison III

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Trey Jemison III. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Trey Jemison. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Trey Jemison. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Flat Out (talk) 00:55, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This page wasn't created by Bagumba, they created a redirect which was removed by an IP (I'm guessing they were attempting to change the title by swapping the wikitext, not understanding the processes we have). Please disregard this message Bagumba. Aydo h8^[contribs] 01:02, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Revdel request

Hey, there's a revdel request at the hockey project talk page that hasn't been attended to, if you're interested. Cheers. Left guide (talk) 06:35, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is where I punt to WP:REVDELREQUEST. —Bagumba (talk) 07:24, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ITN recognition for Slick Watts

On 20 March 2025, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Slick Watts, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Spencer^T•C 17:26, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nico Harrison again

Nico Harrison has already been through two protection cycles since the Doncic trade, and the vandalism has returned. Can you please re-protect it longer this time? Left guide (talk) 19:49, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. 3 mos. —Bagumba (talk) 19:55, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
