Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Numerous new vandalism-only accounts showed upon expiry of protection today. Long term-semi seems advisable. Sailsbystars (talk) 18:29, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mark Arsten (talk) 18:30, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. — Forgot to put name (talk) 17:45, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Already protected. for one day by SarekOfVulcan. Mark Arsten (talk) 18:29, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes: BLP policy violations – BLP violations. IP adding spam links, unsourced contents and removing or blanking sections. Torreslfchero (talk) 13:40, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected., hope this helps as by that time the film hype after its recent TV premiere will die down.--Ekabhishektalk 15:52, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism - The film releases today (February 1, 2013), worldwide. There are several IPs that modify the page for no reason. Types of modification are section blanking or adding external links that are against Wikipedia external linking policies. Arjann (talk) 12:40, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mark Arsten (talk) 18:32, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This is an important article. And there is a problem of non-constructive edits/vandalism for a long time! Requesting pending changes/semi protection! . Tito Dutta (talk) 11:25, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Declined Yes, the article is important, but so are nearly all articles on Wikipedia. But here I can see a fair amount of positive contributions of IPs/new users, so no pending changes protection, and it is not enough vandalism for semiprotection anyway. Lectonar (talk) 12:52, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes: Persistent vandalism. Webclient101talk 15:25, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of another year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Lectonar (talk) 15:27, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism that targets the religion of the school and generally insults the Catholic faith. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 04:49, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Also, just a reminder to leave a vandalism warning note on the IP's talk page. It makes it easier to assess the likelihood that they will keep vandalizing the page. Best, Lord Roem ~ (talk) 05:17, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary protection: Persistent vandalism - User Alien arceus was once a user who was well known for adding fraudulent information on Bulbapedia, where I am high-ranking staff. It seems since his ban there he has followed me here, and has started adding false information to Rick Moranis's page as if out of spite for me. I can provide evidence to back up my claims if requested. Jo The Marten (talk) 22:23, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm not going to fully protect the page because of one user. Give your evidence to the user on either their talk page or the article talk page, and if they insert false info deliberately we can look in to blocking. Prodego talk 01:05, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Declined (procedural) Lectonar (talk) 08:13, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm just putting it here, and this is the last time i'll post in the same place as Jo i promis, but my name is Ron Petterson, not Christian Woods. Appartment blocks often share the same IP address at least where i live it does. and either way, whether i'm Christian or not is none of this guy's damn business. i came here to add good information and have no intent on adding false information to this site, so no need for block. Alien Arceus 10:22, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism and edit warring. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 02:26, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Declined, no edits for five days GedUK  10:05, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High levels of IP users vandalizing it's biographies of living persons policy including IPs removing it's reliable source to a fake date of birth. Steam5 (talk) 01:49, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Declined You mean this article? We had 2 IP edits in 2013, and 8 in 2012, overall. This is not in any way a "high" level of vandalism. Please read our protection policy. Lectonar (talk) 08:18, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Pending changes: Persistent vandalism. –sumone10154(talk) 23:34, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Declined The overall level of vandalism is not high, and not all IP edits are vandalism. Lectonar (talk) 08:15, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: This guy appears to have upset some people, and after following on from PayMeMyMoneyOwed (talk · contribs) disrupting the page, getting blocked, and disrupting it again as an IP (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PayMeMyMoneyOwed/Archive), other IPs have been disrupting the article here here and here. Semi-protection would give everyone a chance to calm down while properly sourced content is found. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:37, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Lectonar (talk) 10:52, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection this page has a long history of disruptive editing by IP and new users for a moderately high visible page. Additionally there is a COI issue with a named user that is being addressed separately over at COIN. Thanks Tiggerjay (talk) 21:51, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

When considering this request, please note that this article also has several years history of prompt reverts of vandalism and problematic edits, and many constructive edits with detailed edit summaries, by an IP editor. 188.29.82.106 (talk) 22:53, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes, I would agree that there has been some positive contributions from IP editors; however far more IP edits reverted than constructive. Tiggerjay (talk) 02:40, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Declined Looking at the article history, the level of vandalism is under the threshold for semiprotection, and the noticeable amount of positive IP contributions makes me refrain from using pending changes protection too. Some years ago, we would have said: just wachtlist and revert; so, I have added it to my watchlist. Lectonar (talk) 07:56, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
  • Rules of chess has been semi-protected for nearly 19 months. The admin that protected it retired April 2012. I think it should be unprotected now. I have it on my watch list and I usually check my watch list several times per day, so I can watch out for it. If the vandalism returns, I will ask for it to be protected again, but I think it is time to try it unprotected. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 00:52, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Unprotected GedUK  10:07, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Long-term dynamic IP vandalism. -- LuK3 (Talk) 03:29, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. --Lord Roem ~ (talk) 05:19, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite Semi-Protection: It already redirects to the proper target, so there is no need for further editing (the main article even has a hatnote to the disambiguation page), and has a ridiculously long history of vandalism for a redirect (>30 edits of mostly IP vandalism or reverting it). It looks to me like vandals target this page since the one it redirects to is protected. I'm worried what they'll vandalize next if THIS is protected... --Free Wales Now! what did I screw up?  02:28, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Also, last vandalism was past December. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 05:20, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Full protection. We have a 3 day old edit war by experienced editors - lets lock up the page and force them to just talk over talking and edit-waring - (related to Self-determination dispute - Protected Self-determination: Edit warring / Content dispute that will most likely have to be extended).Moxy (talk) 20:21, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mark Arsten (talk) 19:30, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Unprotection: Article was semi-protected for 2 months, which seems uncharacteristically long for page with no appreciable history of vandalism and a single IP editwar that lasted only a few edits. The article itself indicates it is outdated, so on the balance, I would consider it to be better to unprotect this to open it up for more constructive IP edits than lock it down because of a minor altercation that happened 5 weeks ago. 76.121.244.252 (talk) 06:26, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

You should contact the original admin who protected the article first. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 07:56, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Declined For the bot. You should ask EdJohnston (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) GedUK  10:21, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
I would have attempted to contact the admin, if he hadn't protected his own talk page. He has a special "talk page" for anons, but it appears that he does not monitor that page very diligently, often taking days to respond. I find making anons jump through hoops to communicate to be more than I'm willing to bear. 76.121.244.252 (talk) 16:44, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Please unprotect this page. the only thing that happened is a little edit war that is not worth protecting a whole page.

Temp full - Just until the whole waitress firing hoopla dies down. The firing doesn't even involve the company known as Applebee's or its parent Dine Equity, it is an incident involving an Applebee's franchise. Additionally it has attracted several new single purpose editors and IP contributors whose sole goal is to advertise the incident and not improve the article. Spurious claims without proper support are being bandied about as to the importance of the event. Several editors have removed this as non-notable, but the same clique of contribs keeps readding it --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 05:43, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Might you reconsider. It would only be for a week or two, this is turning into an edit war between the two factions. Most contribs are not participating in the discussion on the talk page and keep re-adding the information without discussion - ignoring BRD altogether.

Michael Felgate should be a disambiguation page, linking to List of foreign football players in Cypriot First Division#England and Mickey Blue Eyes - and the talk page should have a {{DisambigProject}} template, which would prevent inappropriate moves of other pages to these titles.

Temporary semi-protection: Recently a new Mersenne prime has been discovered, but the distributed computing project responsible for the search has not made an official announcement. IP users have added a new entry, but more importantly have changed "47" to "48" where they should not have done (i.e. the page says "48" but still describes properties of the 47th prime). I've reverted the edits until the official announcement, however if you look at the page history you'll see that the IP users have undone similar reverts by other registered users, and so they're likely to do it again. As such, I'd like to semi-protect this page until Tuesday (February 5th) at 1400 UTC, the time of the press release (see previous link). One might also consider semi-protecting Largest known prime number, however a cursory glance does not show any premature or wrong edits. Spartan S58 (talk) 19:04, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi full-protection: Persistent back and forth reverting. An admin had protected it but one of the participants thought he was too involved.

Short semi or full protect: protect the version which excludes the image:Rizana Letter Tamil.JPG which is currently being discussed in Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2013 January 14#‎File:Rizana Letter Tamil.JPG, albeit almost dormant. The anon 61.245.*.* insists the discussion is indecisive, thus justifying the inclusion of the fair use image. But others (including me) don't agree due to the fact that the said image is not mentioned in the prose nor cited by any reliable source, which is in many ways violates our non-free content criteria policy. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 08:43, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Kindly refer to ANI complaint filed against Hari7478 here and Hari478's lack of response to the 4 issues raised for misquoting sources. He merely evades answering, reverts page to his version and seeks page protection. Unless Hari7478 agrees to answer on ANI page or elsewhere (on why he misqotes sources to pass off his own racist theories), his requests for page protection should not be allowed. He is merely vandalizing Iyengar and Vadakalai articles. --= No ||| Illusion = (talk) 19:52, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Mayasutra

Although the decision in the talk page was "to not use sources that are too old", Mayasutra has been deleting the existing version of the section and has been contributing data with sources(which are old) that appear to be citing even older sources. Yet he says the sources aren't old(false edit summary) - see here - [1], and has been deleting major portions along with their sources. By the way he has also been using names in edit summaries and has been maligning me(false accusations/personal attacks) by repeatedly mentioning my username in discussions and edit summaries - See here:[2], [3]. I'm also posting a few diffs that are evident of Mayasutra's abusive & disruptive behavior in talk page discussions & edit summaries(in the past) - [4], [5], [6]. Although this is not the page to make these complaints, i had to respond to the above comment. Please protect the page. Hari7478 (talk) 20:13, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Robert Lester is not an old source. Sitush himself used Robert Lester as a source when referring to etymology of Iyengar. The issue is misquoting sources. Kindly refer to the ANI links provided. Hari7478's passes off his own fabricated conclusions by misquoting sources. As on ANI page, I stand by my statements that Hari7478's racism theories are half-baked and his statements are meandering (and I am not being abusive by saying so -- its a fact as anyone can check for themselves). IMO Hari7478 is consistently misusing wiki machinery to protect his misquoting of sources. Each time he reverts to his own racism version, then asks for page protection, reports me for vandalism, sock-puppetry, While NEVER answering on ANI page why he is misquoting sources. Thanks. --= No ||| Illusion = (talk) 22:41, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Mayasutra

The Iyengar and Vadakalai pages need to be protected from Hari7478's version. Hari7478 did not agree for mediation, did not reply on ANI page both times, and goes on reverting for an edit war. He merely puts up his own version, and asks for page protection so that no one can change it or challenge it.

Indefinite semi-protection: This article had been flagged with multiple issues, including "major contributor appears to have a close connection with the subject," and "improper reference to self publishes sources." I am in the process of re-writing it, drawing extensively on reliable, secondary sources. However, yesterday, a couple of new accounts came in and inserted at the beginning of the article a long essay that is entirely unreferenced. It appears to be written by people who are close to a major personality mentioned in the article. I reverted their addition, explaining why briefly in the edit summary, and at more length on the talk page. I also went to these editors talk pages and posted notes of explanation. In the meantime, I believe this page needs some level of protection. Thank-you! EMP (talk 20:32, 7 February 2013 (UTC). EMP (talk 20:32, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Article subject is mentioned in current RNCM/Chethams sexual abuse scandal as he was Principal at RNCM when a controversial appointment was made. Already an IP editor has, perhaps accidentally, written something about that appointment which could have had us in court; it has been suppressed and I don't want to say more in public.

Semi-protection: Since December 2012, an anonymous editor with a roving IP keeps changing dates, for example, claiming that the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and the American liberation occurred in 1996-1997. I'd like to see permanent semi-protection but will accept three months. There's been no other activity on this page since 11 October 2012. Fantr (talk) 19:18, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Note: Tentatively declined. This appears to be the work of a single user in a narrow IP range, has occurred at broad intervals and was caught relatively quickly every time. If the user persists, consider warning/reporting instead. Leaving this up as another admin may disagree. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:38, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – we have a couple of new users who are continually adding that he's a radical liberal terrorist w/o reliable sourcing; I don't think they're autoconfirmed, so semi-protection should be enough. Go Phightins! 02:43, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Ongoing vandalism of a BLP. An openly homosexual sports referee tends to attract the lowest common denominator.

Temporary full protection: Persistent vandalism – Although this article is under semi-protection, it is constantly getting vandalized and declining the edits is becoming a tiresome process, and some edits are slipping through the cracks. Even there have been several anon edits, almost all of them have been vandalism in some way shape or form. A quick look at the article history will reveal that almost all additions are reverted because they are not constructive. I am requesting that protection be moved up from semi to full, for a small amount of time. Gen. Quon (Talk) 16:59, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Article is the long term target of single edit (most often IP) editors who object to the inclusion of the word Basque in reference to Elcano's ethnicity. The fact is referenced and ought to be non-controversial.

Diannaa, I appreciate the protection but it's not going to make much difference. This article was created in March 2003 and the first time this flared up was in 2005 [9] and started to get really bad from 2006 onwards if you look at the page history. At a casual glance I'm counting more than a dozen edit wars since then around the use of the word "Basque". Protecting for a week really won't make much difference in the face of such prolonged toing and throing. Akerbeltz (talk) 01:05, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

This is a sensitive issue that needs to be addressed by editors who understand BLP policy and can work out the right way forward via discussion; the history of IP edits on this article show that editing needs to be restricted here. .

Pending changes or block. An SPA, User:MalibuSurfKing, has appeared sporadically since September 2012 to prod this BLP or to remove key details from it. Dempsey is a journalist who wrote a book about the murder of Meredith Kercher. As a result, she came under attack on the Web from anonymous people who disagreed with her conclusions. The attacks have been sustained, sexist and very undermining. Within that context, it's a concern that one account keeps appearing to claim she isn't notable enough for an article. I'd therefore like to ask that an admin consider either applying pending changes so that MalibuSurfKing is unable to make further changes, or to block the account as an SPA causing BLP problems. Many thanks, SlimVirgin (talk) 01:45, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Declined Pending changes won't stop MalibuSurfKing, as they're autoconfirmed. They have not edited the article since Crisco opened the AFD, so a block is not warranted at this time. Hopefully the discussion at AFD will resolve the issue. -- Dianna (talk) 23:59, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. I have looked back in the history as far as november and the page is recieving persistent vandalism many times a month. I can't work out how far back it has to be reverted to. But there are "endemic and endless vandalism problems" too much for me to pick out. Please lock the page so that no further vandalism is done. And ask an admin to find a suitable older version to revert the page to. Main points to notice are buddhism is currently written as 1.9 billion, which it should not be. And past vandalism is continually putting christianity as 3.6 billion and islam as 2.1 billion which they also are not, although they have currently been corrected in the first table. In the "Adherents.com estimates" section, it still shows christianity at 3.6 billion and islam at 2.1 billion. So these need to be corrected. Also the first table is called "four largest religions". But it lists five religions which doesn't add up. These and other things are continually being edited and reverted over the past few months. It seems a battle between several people. So correction and locking is necessary in my view. 2.97.34.125 (talk) 18:42, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Declined I understand your concern. But what has to happen here is for an interested editor to correct the facts to agree with the quoted source and then monitor to ensure the info stays accurate and up-to-date.

Indefinite semi-protection Since the last semi-protection expired, the vandalism on the page has remained rife, with the history showing repetitive vandalism from certain IPs despite reversions explaining the issues. Last time, indefinite protection was declined in the hope that the vandalism would cease: sadly it has not.

Temporary Semi-protection: This article keeps getting turned into useless pablum by careless editors who don't even bother to read the entire article. In its latest incarnation it had two full sections on high pressure sodium bulbs with completely different text, and separated high p0ressure sodium and metal halide from other kinds of bulbs with no explanation (previously there had been only one section on HPS bulbs, and one whole grouping of bulbs together rather than an unexplained separation into two kinds). I suspect some marijuana may be involved... Am hoping semi-protection will make some difference in stabilizing the article.OverseerDragon (talk) 08:22, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Don't let them protect this page! Protecting these pages, like Darkness Shines wants to do, is a tactic that is being used widely over many of the Bangladeshi-Pakistani-Indian pages so that the editors who do this can game the content for their own POV biases. What they do is to semi-protect a page, finding whatever excuse they can dig up. Then they go after editors who do not agree with them. It's much easier for them to game the system once they've protected a page. Sanction lists have been abused -- that's an established fact! Other are being accused of being sock puppets in order to get their accounts blocked so that minor content disputes from those editors will disappear. Editors are being ganged up and then goaded into making more than 1 revert so that they will be blocked, especially inexperienced editors. BLP is being abused to no end in order to game content.

So I'm requesting it be unprotected since it's an informational page that points to policies, rather than a policy page itself.

Support. I would take a close look when deciding which version to protect. One (Thargor) has come from the last few months of talk, the one form CartoonDiablo is a big hand grenade / bundle that they keep tossing. Both sides have requested protection, I'm guessing that CD figures a 50/50 chance of getting their hand grenade locked is a good move. See article talk page. Also open at ani.

Temporary Protection: There is an ongoing edit war about whether a reference confirms the show's cancellation or not. An attempt to end the dispute through discussion has not worked. Since the edit war is between registered users it needs to be protection and not semi-protection. One week will hopefully be enough to settle this dispute through discussion.

Declined - warned the IP. Use WP:AIV for such cases, semiprotection is not appropriate against one IP/user. Materialscientist (talk) 04:38, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Mr. Rosenberg's staff and publicist persistently vandalize edits to make the article into free advertisement instead of reporting objective facts. Even when others cite sources, they persistently revert edits back to inaccurate, untrue and unverified propaganda. I think indefinite protection is necessary in this case.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. KrakatoaKatie 05:52, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Level of IP vandalism seems to still be steady after the previous semi-protection ended on 2 February 2013. Might recommend permanent semi-protection due to the possible high level of notability of the topic.

No no no, please still protect. I made the request yesterday because this was in the news and I anticipated this was going to see a lot of driveby edits from IPs.

Note: I was going to list this here as well.
