Reason: User is repeatedly adding outdated information, misusing sources (such as using a source to cite material it contradicts), and removing cited information from reputable sources. User is showing inherent nationalistic bias. Skeptical1800 (talk) 06:24, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined The two users are edit-warring. Bbb23 (talk) 01:10, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: There have been numerous cases of soapboxing and vandalism by IP addresses, many of which have no edit history other than warring on this article, and at least one single-purpose user account - this has occurred on a monthly basis since last September, when 2 such incidents occurred, in addition to last May, several times in 2023 and a significant edit war in June 2022. Due to the relatively niche nature of the article's subject, I would suggest WP:PCPP or WP:SEMI at most, so as not to exclude too many editors from participating.

Semi-protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. No prior protection history. BusterD (talk) 02:34, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism by IP editors. Since the new year, there have been 17 edits (10 by IPs and 7 by registered editors). Of these, 7 are egregious IP vandalism; 2 are IPs reverting IP vandalism; 1 is a marginally constructive IP edit (a wikilink); 5 are registered editors undoing IP vandalism; 1 is a registered editor undoing a good-faith mistake by an IP editor; and 1 is a registered editor fixing a small grammar mistake. Thus, in the past 12 days, 82% of edits solely exist as or because of IP vandalism. It's obvious this will continue to be a contentious subject.

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Continuous style-warring and attempts to remove the most-common definition of the Droop quota by an unregistered editor. (Who has kept this up from many different IPs.) IP has repeatedly ignored attempts at explaining this on both the article talk and in a conversation I had with them on my user talk. (The Droop quota is sometimes defined v⁄k+1 and sometimes v+1⁄k+1; user keeps deleting the first definition.). – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 22:40, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
