Indefinite Creation Protection — This non-notable person's BLP has been repeatedly created, before (1x under captioned title; 5x as "Dr.") and after (4x as captioned; 1x as "Dr.") the earliest deletion discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dr. Priya Ranjan Trivedi (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) (27 September 2010) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Priya Ranjan Trivedi (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) (26 February 2013); the second AfD was initiated by an editor who did not know the article had already been deleted at AfD. Each instance of recreation was a clearly promotional/vanity piece, apparently by the subject. Many instances were glaring copyvios of the subject's résumé. A similar WP:STALEDRAFT was deleted here, in the user space of User:Tgou (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), who seems responsible for some of these repeated creations. The title with "Dr." has already been salted; the title without "Dr." needs salt, too. JFHJr (㊟) 15:56, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Fully protected Consider it salted. Gamaliel (talk) 20:57, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection - Constant, daily page blanking from a specific anonymous IP- user over the past 6 months. This user does not provide valid, objective reasons for his actions. Aero777 (talk) 02:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Declined Declining for now. It's possible full protection may be needed. The IP has twice started a conversation on the article talk page, but you haven't engaged with them. I'm not oing to semi protect this article to give you an advantage in a content dispute, especially as the IP seems to be the one that's making the attempt to communicate. GedUK  12:55, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Unprotection: Also Atticus Dean Mitchell. It has been 18 months since create protected. Lead for two season on a TV series so should be possible to meet WP:NACTOR now. . Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:42, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Unprotected Mike V • Talk 18:20, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism- There have been many IPs that have made multiple nonconstructive edits to the page. This page has had temporary semi-protection in the past and it managed to successfully stop the vandalism of this page. --Coolg863 (talk) 05:13, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:16, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Low traffic article with a long history of vandalism. Command and Conquer Expert! speak to me...review me... 03:35, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected because they can't handle my swag of persistent, low-level vandalism. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:13, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Quite Frequent Vandalism for such a small page. Oh the irony. §haun 9∞76 ༆ 03:02, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:17, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP vandalism few hours after semi-protection expired. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 01:31, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:58, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – School being hit hard by vandalism - no doubt by children from this or a rival school. Semi protection will see them get bored and return to ritual self abuse. . Bob Re-born (talk) 00:18, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Only two IPs involved, and neither seems to have even received a final warning despite their edits. Feel free to request again if things get out of hand. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:21, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Multiple IPs have repeatedly vandalized this page for some reason, always pasting the same nonsense text at the same position. . §FreeRangeFrogcroak 03:48, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. —Tom Morris (talk) 10:00, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Socks and IPs converting disambiguation page to article against discussion on talk page, leading to an edit war. Not your siblings' deletionist (talk) 02:36, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.
I wasn't happy about indef, so let's just try long term first. —Tom Morris (talk) 09:58, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection - IP persists in adding content that has been objected to by multiple editors on numerous occasions. – PeeJay 01:37, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. And yet, none of you has ever tried to actually discuss the matter. You all need to take the matter to the talk page. Qwyrxian (talk) 08:52, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Junebea1 (talk) 21:56, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There are far too many constructive IP edits to completely block them off, so we'll try 2 weeks of pending changes. Qwyrxian (talk) 08:48, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Long term vandalism by IP addresses. . HereFord 01:13, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Report the user(s) to AIV if vandalism continues. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:57, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: IP addesses closing AFD as no consensus less than 7 days after it started. . GB fan 01:04, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – vandalism has been going on for some time now. JayJayWhat did I do? 23:17, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:19, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – POV-pushing. The Banner talk 22:22, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Declined This seems premature. It's a single new user who has now been properly warned about 3RR, so they can be reported and blocked if they exceed it again. Gamaliel (talk) 23:32, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
It is doubtful if Media Michael is really a new user, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/StPhilomena. This case, file 7/2/2013, is still not decided on! The Banner talk 00:18, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Pending changes protection: Vandalism and unsourced edits. 069952497aComments and complaintsStuff I've done 22:12, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Declined – the last period of heavy vandalism was nearly two months ago. Since then, there have been a couple of unconstructive edits and what appears to be a content dispute involving registered users. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:24, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Request for Full-protection: There has been high level back and forth reverting from registered and unregistered users. Veronika53 (talk) 17:41, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Declined. No such edits since semi-protection expired and no recent BLP violations that I can see. Feel free to request protection again if edit warring flares up again. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:17, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism, a user repeatedly replaced the entire article with some new unrelated company. Krystaleen 16:36, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:18, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Comment: The problem user has been blocked (one user, two different accounts). Wait and see if protection is needed. --Orlady (talk) 19:52, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of vandalism by IP's and new accounts. 069952497aComments and complaintsStuff I've done 22:00, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Some constructive edits in the recent history, vandalism itself not that heavy. A trial of pending changes should help. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:28, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Dubious unsourced edits related to the labels roster. STATic message me! 20:24, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Pending changes protection requests on the talk page regarding continuous addition of unsourced content. The X Factor (UK) page is already so protected. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 20:03, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:34, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

move protection: Was moved without any consensus by User:Bob the Wikipedian 79.216.50.80 (talk) 19:27, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Declined - The same user undid the move 13 minutes later. Not likely to be repeated. --Orlady (talk) 19:33, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: Please protect as a cautionary measure, the article has been referenced in a legal communication to the Foundation. We might have to work through this substantially. See ticket:2013022810012881. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 23:28, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 23:02, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Protection has just expired and an IP has returned to add the same vandalism again, so I think it needs a longer protection. (Also, please rev del this - previous examples were rev deleted). -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:10, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected Semi-protected for one month. Linked diff deleted. Gamaliel (talk) 23:17, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: Highly visible template – A recent bad edit by a guest editor caused Hazard-Bot to incorrectly mark over 100 images for speedy deletion and send incorrect talk page messages to respective uploaders. This template is matured and needs little changes. Codename Lisa (talk) 09:30, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Since this was caused by an IP, and the template has never been protected before. Suggest Indefinite Semi protection. Crazynas t 09:42, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. Materialscientist (talk) 09:46, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: High level of persistent IP vandalism – A user with multiple IPs (175.143.185.106 at the moment) is constantly removing and changing factual information because he does not like the fact that the Kepler GTX600 GPUs DO NOT support Direct3D 11.1 or DirectX 11.1. The article has already been locked temporarily before, and it changed nothing. 91.64.206.154 (talk) 06:44, 2 March 2013 (UTC) EDIT: He is now even vandalizing the requests for a page lock page!! 91.64.185.69 (talk) 07:26, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite protection: For 1 year, only admins can make changes. High level of persistent vandalism – A German vandal with multiple IPs (Kapitaenk, 91.64.206.154, 91.65.182.137, 91.64.185.69 at the moment) is constantly removing and changing factual information because he does not like the fact that the Kepler GTX600 GPUs do partially support Direct3D 11.1 or DirectX 11.1. The article has already been locked temporarily before, and it changed nothing. Please also permanently ban Kapitaenk & Kabel Deutschland 91.64.206.154, 91.65.182.137, 91.64.185.69 IP and all Kabel Deutschland related IPs. http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3196 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.142.168.165 (talk) 07:38, 2 March 2013‎

Semi-protection: Over the past 16 months, various IP addresses have introduced the same BLP violation -- specifically, changing the person's name in various places on the page -- on thirteen separate occasions. No reliable source shows the name to be anything other than what appears on the page, and I have added multiple citations showing the correct name. I have warned this person (I presume it's the same person each time) on several occasions, but he or she has neither responded nor performed any additional edits to any other page. The behavior seems to indicate that the person just waits a certain period, hopes that nobody's watching, and then re-inserts the incorrect information. The last time the person waited three months, but I hesitate to request an expiry at all, especially since the last time I came here a similar request was denied entirely. Dewelar (talk) 05:05, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected I've put it on pending changes - I don't see a need for semi protection here, given the such limited number of edits. Ryan PostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or let's have banter 09:11, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected by Mr Stradivarius for one week. -- Dianna (talk) 05:37, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. ~ satellizer ~ talk ~ 01:51, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ryan PostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or let's have banter 09:21, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Unprotection: This article was quietly salted well after its recent deletion discussion by an uninvolved administrator (despite there not being a single request for salting present in the discussion). The administrator in question is extremely aggressive and refuses to even properly discuss the issue (case in point: the administrator actually "closed" one of the discussion sections about this at that administrator's user talk page), up to and including block threats.

The reason I am requesting that this be unprotected is that I would like to create a redirect (to marblemedia). WP:CON was established for an extremely similar redirect at: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2013 January 25#Futz! (Note that, in that case, there were in fact multiple requests for salting in the deletion discussion and yet the community decided that the redirect should stay.) Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 22:59, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm discussing the redirect with the protecting admin - I should have an answer shortly. Ryan PostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or let's have banter 23:05, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Declined Ryan PostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or let's have banter 00:11, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection Repeated non-admin closures by IP users (see also the issues raised at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Siabaf). The article itself may also warrant semi-protection due to repeated AFD template removals by the same group of IPs. Yunshui 雲‍水 23:10, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Hadn't realised that. However, I'd point out that the decline reason ("users blocked"), whilst accurate at the time, doesn't take into account the large number of one-off IP editors that have arisen since. Yunshui 雲‍水 23:45, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ryan PostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or let's have banter 00:13, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent, long-term use of article for advertising. One editor was just given a final warning yesterday and a previous editor returns to take up the same editing while ignoring talk page discussion. --Ronz (talk) 16:51, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Declined Semi-protection would only protect the article from new accounts and IP addresses. The accounts are confirmed accounts, so semi-protection would not be useful. In this case, let's keep an eye on things and if they continue additional warnings or a block may need to be issued. Mike V • Talk 21:36, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Doh! You are correct. Worse, some of the ip's have been helpful recently. I don't think the situation calls for full protection yet. --Ronz (talk) 21:54, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by anonymous users.Jpcohen (talk) 16:16, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Declined The current vandalism seems to stem from a single IP address. Should the user resume, it would be better to just issue a block instead of protecting the whole article. Mike V • Talk 18:08, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
The vandalism has been from multiple IP addresses. It seems that once one IP address is blocked, the same user (most likely) uses a different computer and continues to add the same changes over and over. So it doesn't appear that blocks have been effective.Jpcohen (talk) 23:35, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

I am the MD of Dragonfly Productions. This is not a conflict about a company name. The vandalism has been made by a competitor company, who is posting many many defamatory posts online in many different locations. The individual responsible is known to me. Dragonfly is not subject to any legal challenge regarding its company name. All negative content posted online is motivated by hate and it is intended to do harm.

I also request that the [Dragonfly Productions] page is temporarily protected please.

Semi-protection: Content dispute/disruptive editing/attempting to avoid 3RR and all-out edit war. -- A few days ago, User:Biala Gwiazda has moved the article to Rutgers University, Newark for entirely wrong reasons. Yesterday I had it moved back at WP:RM. Despite not knowing anything about Rutgers, he continues to edit the article (most recently the lead) to put inaccurate/incorrect information regarding the name of the institution. He has reverted edits I made to improve the article (revision and reorganization) without valid reasons. I have posted on his talk page asking user to cease doing so, his reply indicates his continuing willingness for continued disruptive edits. If some third-party, preferably an admin, can advise the user to discontinue his disruptive and inaccurate edits, I would appreciate it. Thank you for your assistance. --ColonelHenry (talk) 07:11, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Declined I'm loathe to fully protect an article (which is what it would need) because of two editors. Better to take action against the individuals than lock the whole thing.

Long-term semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Temporary semi-protection has been used several times before for the article, but it doesn't seem to deter the vandals.

Semi-protected indefinitely. THere's no policy that says you must use edit summaries, but it's accepted to be good practice. Most vandal fighters, if they aren't using one of the tools, uually use 'rvv' or 'rv' or similar as the summary. GedUK  12:42, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Long-term semi-protection. About a year ago, there was a flurry of tabloid reports predicting that these two Bollywood actors were about to marry. Despite a complete absence of reliable sources reporting the marriage actually occurred, a long string of IPs have been adding the claim to these articles. Both articles were protected last year due to thius problem, but it's been a recurring problem after that protection expired. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:12, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Question: This seems like the sort of fact that should be quite easy to prove or disprove with reliable sources (although it should certainly remain absent from the article if no sources are available). A cursory Google search shows at least two articles published in the Times of India that could be used to support this claim. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 21:59, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
It ought to be that way. But, for example, those Times of India pieces turn out to be gossip column predictions of a wedding, but aren't followed by any reliable reports that the wedding actually took place. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 00:44, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Permanent semi-protection: This page is currently un-protected and while the trolls have yet to realize this and pour in, I'll point out that it's only a matter of time until they do. This page is a vandalism magnet and a look at the page's history over time shows this, as in the case last August where someone repeatedly blanked sections of the article, prompting the previous protection. It might be early yet and I'm sure that people will say that I should wait for the trolls to come in and start destroying the article, but I think that it would be best to just give this page permanent semi-protection against IP vandalism. Each time the page gets unprotected it inevitably gets vandalized once people realize that it's unprotected. Even with the protection the page still had its fair share of vandalism, so this will just prevent it from getting worse.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:04, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, I started a discussion, but since the page wasn't protected, he has continued his reversion as such and has now violated 3RR. He hardly ever responds to talk pages. And makes comments like this:
  • "03:45, 4 March 2013‎ King Shadeed (talk | contribs)‎ . . (18,734 bytes) (-4,505)‎ . . (Undid revision 541948702 by Spshu (talk) Lionsgate Films is a division. Rewrite the history in a different way and don't move anything.)" -- ie. don't bother to edit this article.

Armbrust, He seems to back off after the page being protected. I have given Shadeed {{subst:Uw-3rr}} warning before under direct of an adminstrator then having to take it to 3RR, only to found to be equally guilty there, since it was so easy for him to ignore the talk page. I will give it a shot. Spshu (talk) 20:48, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Why would you like the protection to be lifted? This is a highly visible page. Lectonar (talk) 12:23, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Because I believe the Help namespace is for inexperienced users, like most IPs. I say let them edit it but keep WP:Searching protected. Removing the Help:Searching edit warning might encourage some collaboration, even if from between IP. The collaboration levels seem too low, and if I remember correctly, there was a "please help" sign on that Help page a while back. It was just a thought I'm being bold with. Three yrs ago I might have asked a David Gothberg. Thanks. — CpiralCpiral 00:11, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Hmmm, you have a point, but imho the good does not completely outweigh the bad; especially I am not completely convinced that many unexperienced users will drop on Help:searching in their first tries (hopefully, they have been pointed to our tutorial and the sandbox). I would not unprotect, but will leave the decision to someone else (and if it is unprotected, I am fine with that too). Lectonar (talk) 08:58, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

  • Disagreed. This is not content dispute. The revert war is about a tag only. Instead, an admin has to advice the participants about the rules of dispute resolution.

Diamonds World Tour

Unprotection: This article was deleted with redirect back to Unapologetic because of violation of WP:CRYSTAL when there was not much info about the tour. Subsequently users started to re-create the article, what resulted in administrator protecting the article. The Diamonds World Tour officially happened/started yesterday in Buffalo, and this means the article doesn't violate WP:CRYSTAL anymore, which means the article/redirect should be unprotected and an article should be allowed.

Christen Press

Unprotection: After a somewhat minor edit war, the article was fully protected by an admin. The accounts of the primary instigator of the edit war has been blocked due to an apparent unrelated issue. http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Special:Contributions/John-May-Or-May-Not It is disruptive at this point for the article to remain fully protected.

It's not clear to me why the article went from being completely editable to full protection without a BRD cycle or just discussing with the parties involved in the edit war and without discussion or notification on the article Talk page. I have requested updates to the article on the article talk page as well as from the admin who fully protected the article here. This player is currently representing the United States at the 2013 Algarve Cup and the full protection of the page is preventing other editors from making meaningful contributions to the article in order to keep the information current and up-to-date. I appreciate your outside input and consideration of the unprotection request. Hmlarson (talk) 17:31, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Since the person causing problems has now been blocked for sockpuppetry, I changed it from full to semi-protection, which should solve the issue with a little less hassle.

Declined - We usually try to keep TFAs unprotected as much as possible, unless the vandalism is particularly severe. It hasn't been too bad so far, and because it's the weekend, I would expect it to be pretty mild the rest of the day as well.

Indefinite full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Two editors are continually edit warring on this article I think it is pretty suitable if this page gets protected so any change, reversion would be done by admin assistance, which seems to be well suited because the article's subject is both controversial and delicate. Even though the involved parts are well established editors, nothing prevents further attack accounts to edit it. Eduemoni↑talk↓ 21:00, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Declined – this is a tough call, especially as the article was fully protected just days ago and that doesn't seem to have helped at all.

First of all, you are attempting to remove a relevant photo. Second of all, you are attempting to restore a text with broken and unreliable sources, which was removed for a good reason.

I have every sympathy with you for your obsessive compulsive disorder, but what editing is suitable for Wikipedia cannot be determined by what problems are experienced by the editors responsible for that content. I suffer from attention deficit disorder. I try to do what I can to minimise the effect of my problem, and I never try to suggest that my problem makes acceptable edits which would not be acceptable from anyone without ADD. If I were not able to accept that view, and really though that the encyclopaedia's standards should be adjusted or compromised to allow me to edit in inappropriate ways, then I would not be competent to edit Wikipedia. Ideally, I should then choose to step down, but if I didn't do that then it would be appropriate for an administrator to block me, to prevent damage to the encyclopaedia. Disruptive editing is disruptive editing, whether it is done maliciously or not. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:59, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Semi-protected Repeated reverts are disruptive, no matter what the reason, and the fact that the edits may not have been vandalism is irrelevant. The problem has continued during this discussion, using a change of IP address to evade a block. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:15, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Long term semi-protection. On February 2 http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Special:Contributions/92.234.251.18 started inserting inappropriate content into Jewish diaspora, and was reverted by 10 times by 7 different editors before the article was semi-protected. He returned on Feb 18 and was reverted 3 mores times by 2 new editors. He returned on the 25th and was reverted again. he returned again today for more of the same. While he's just the worst offender, many other IP editors have had to be reverted as well - essentially every IP editor since March 1, for example. This article appears to be a vandalism target.

Semi-protection: There is currently a serious content, possible factual error concern regarding Toronto, its population, and whether it is larger than Chicago now. See the fourth largest North American city thread Talk:Toronto, but my contributions at articles List of cities in North America, List of North American metropolitan areas by population and Toronto keep being reverted for the same reason, even though I posted my reasoning at the talk page. Chicago has not had its population updated since around 2010, while Toronto just got an estimate for a newspaper. That is not verifiable yet. It seems like all of these consistently, different editors are undoing my edit, thus going against bold, revert and discuss suggestions. Some are also changing Greater Toronto Area on these pages to Golden Horseshoe which is not the metropolitan area for the city, but rather a geographic location of Ontario.

Temporary semi-protection: Request one week semi. Since 9 March there have been 16 attempts by two newly created apparent SPAs Special:Contributions/Johnwuein and Special:Contributions/Jacksonbbb to add unreliably (at best) sourced information to this article. The SPAs are probably a sockmaster and sock, but they have not responded to repeated requests to comply with WP policies and guidelines and policing this is getting to be a nightmare for a number of editors. A week would give time for the SPAs to lose interest. If they return to the same activity after the semi we can deal with it fulsomely at that point. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 12:01, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Declined The remaining unblocked account is autoconfirmed, so protection won't work. A block may be more appropriate, but that's not for this board.

Semi-protection: This article is being targeted by multiple websites, and is pending more changes from multiple ip addresses.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. What you say above is true for almost all articles which are of actual interest for viewers and editors. But I really do not see that much vandalism, only people not familiar with our policies. Protection is not the way to go here, imho.

Indefinite semi-protection: POV-pushing, edit war, introducing errors and incorrect/false info to the template started by IP users and one user. All of their edits are same and problematic. It seems All of them are done by one person. Started from 25 December 2012 until now, diffs: diff1, diff2, diff3, diff4, diff5, diff6, diff7, diff8, diff9, diff10, diff11.

Because that user (or those users) will return with new/dynamic IP addresses and they don't stop their edits, I think a indefinite semi protection is necessary. Or a long temporary semi protection (1-3 month) to help autoconfirmed/registered users deal with this problem and situation. Zheek (talk) 08:59, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Declined At the moment, in the last week there's only been one instance and two edits by an IP that's been reverted. The edit war before that was registered users, so the only sensible solution in that case would be full protection. GedUK  13:12, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent original research/personal theories by IP user who has been told several times about our policies on the talk page, on a page that is extremely prominent in the media (major breaking news as at 14 March 2013). Semiprotection for 48 hours would allow us to update the complex article accurately with latest findings for readers, and ensure it's of good quality. The IP user has been amply warned of policies by editors and an uninvolved user for WP:EW in the past (User:CodeCat, t/p, 18:58, 3 March 2013). (Note that PC protection seems a bit inappropriate since editors are trying to refactor the highly complex article for new facts and to be understandable to public, so the main disruption is to technical editors who always see latest edits even with PC, as much as to readers). FT2 (Talk | email) 01:06, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

I do not know purpose of that "Critically acclaimed film" section! Let me clarify- there are only two editors working in these articles 1) User:Abgoswami who maintains and updates the list b) I, who create articles on the entries of the list (in other words, Abgoswami makes the list of films, actors, actresses, and I make individual articles on those entries) and sometimes update the list (when I see my created articles are not linked/added in these lists. Abgoswami might tell you the purpose of that "Critically acclaimed film" section (but, he does not talk)! Anyway, in last 1 year, issues related to Bengali commercial movies have been reported at least 15 times to ANI, RPP (and all possible noticeboards). The most detailed thread can be found here: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive772#Newly_released_Bengali_commercial_.28masala.29_films, but, finally it remained unsolved, as an admin felt, These kinds of situations can be difficult to deal with.

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – There's currently a content dispute re: some of the info in the article. Discussions are ongoing at RSN about one of the sources in question, but one of the involved editors has so far refused to participate in discussions about the material in contention. I think ~48 hours of full protection would be a good idea to force participants to discuss the dispute and reach consensus. Kevin Gorman (talk) 06:23, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

This is a complete falsehood. Gorman has just tried to prevent me from replacing an untrue statement in the article by reference to a superior source. The disputed source has not been removed from the article. All that I have done is correct two statements that were false and misleading by using a more reliable source. Gorman is escalating a dispute at ANI into a personal matter and he is bang out of order. I am working to ensure veracity of the article. As it happens, I've already decided to leave one section in, subject to a bit of copyediting, with Malcolm as the source because it is actually a useful addition. When Gorman reverted one edit just now he did so only three minutes afterwards and complained that I replaced sourced information with unsourced. I was checking my source for page number which I have now provided, having had time to find it. I do not have to go to RSN and in fact, by agreeing to accept the violence in cricket section based on Malcolm, there is no longer an issue about the source which can be used providing it does not breach source consensus. ----Jack | talk page 06:45, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
You've repeatedly edit-warred over the page without engaging the ongoing discussion at RSN and without significantly engaging on the talk page of the article. On ANI, you have explicitly said that you are unwilling to join the ongoing discussion at RSN. Making unilateral changes to an article while refusing to engage in discussion about them is inappropriate. I stand by my original post here; I think a 48 hour full protection to force participants to engage in discussion instead of editwarring would be beneficial. Kevin Gorman (talk) 06:50, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
I've been to the RSN page and expressed my views including my willingness to keep Malcolm as the source for the violence section which is a good addition by one of the students. Furthermore, the edit war was conducted by Jbmurray, not by me. Get your facts right. Also, I am on the article talk page and have invited everyone to ask me about the content but no one has come forward. You seem to doubt my use of Ian Maun's book in place of Malcolm so why not express your doubts there as I have asked you to? As for "making unilateral changes", that's called editing and being WP:BOLD. As I say, I have placed an invitation on the talk page to you and anyone else to discuss any changes I make and I'm still waiting. In the meantime, I'll continue to use my expertise to improve an article which has been burdened with false and misleading information. ----Jack | talk page 07:05, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

This shall be my last post here, since I don't want to turn it in to a dupe of the ANI thread. Blackjack has been making mass reversions with no discussions, including no fewer than five (!!!) reverts in 24 hours a couple days ago. He explicitly refused to engage in an ongoing discussion at RSN (see my quote above) until after I posted this request for protection - and even now his post at RSN can be summed up as "I acknowledge this source meets WP's standards, but I personally don't like it so I'm going to remove content from it wherever I see it." He has not posted any description of what he dislikes about the source or any justification for his content changes besides "I, as a subject matter expert, personally think this is wrong." Someone please slap a couple days of full protection on this article so that BJ is forced to meaningfully engage on the talk page of the article and at RSN so that the content dispute can be resolved with our normal consensus oriented mechanisms. No one is going to be harmed if an article about the history of critic from centuries ago potentially contains inaccuracies for a few days, and hopefully a brief full protection will result in those involved settling the content dispute through our normal mechanisms. Kevin Gorman (talk) 07:31, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Another pack of lies because Gorman has turned an editorial dispute into a personal issue. The reversions were instigated and continued by Jbmurray and the matter has been resolved via the proper channels at the 3RR page where the discussion has been closed, so Gorman is out of order trying to revive that issue here. Yes, I did formerly decline to take part in the RSN discussion, which was to my chosen disadvantage, and the participants there could have closed it without my contribution if they wished. However, I decided this morning that I should make a statement as I've found that the source, Malcolm, is sound on social matters whereas my concerns were about cricket facts and theories. Gorman's fantasised view of my intent is best answered by the current status of the article and my summary on the article talk page: i.e., I've removed or revised certain statements that were false and I've retained Malcolm as the main source for the essentially social section about the impact on cricket of a violent society. So, I haven't "removed content wherever I see it", I've simply improved the presentation where it is useful. As for my "dislikes", Gorman would know if he would take the trouble to read everything and get his facts right, that I have explained in several places the problems with peripheral theory and with false statements, including my entry on the article talk page which cites verbatim the main falsehood in the article. Gorman's proposal is vindictive and personal. It carries no weight whatsoever and WP:COMMONSENSE, inter alia, dictates that it should be ignored. In any event, the veracity and credibility of the article including content taken from Malcolm's book, has now been restored and, for the time being at least, needs no further revision unless anyone wishes to expand the content, given that there is scope for much more. ----Jack | talk page 08:28, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
  • I think the above shows exactly why the article needs protecting, pending further discussion (and less aggressive attempts by BlackJack to make his point). And no, I haven't followed the ANI here; I'm here from reading this board having requested protection elsewhere. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:49, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
Please explain why the article needs protecting? You haven't said anything that is relevant to the matter at all. Explain what is wrong with the article as it now stands and see my invitation at WT:CRIC for the cricket members to review the article. ----Jack | talk page 17:18, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: this Good Article has been affected for some time by disruptive IP edits carrying out unexplained deletions of content, presumably to reflect an Iranian nationalist POV.

Declined. I've had a look at the history and can see that there is essentially an edit war going on. If I was going to protect, I'd be locking down the article completely to all editors.

Permanent semi-protection - I've asked for protection before but apparently that was during a lull in activity.

Because that is a content decision. And admins who have made content decisions in a dispute can't make administrative decisions because they have become involved. Admins are not considered involved if they have only made an administrative action such as protecting a page or blocking a user etc. -DJSasso (talk) 13:22, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Surely any POV editors involved have either long since created accounts or else moved on. I would like to request that the article be unprotected. Thank you. 24.22.75.14 (talk) 22:28, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Not unprotected There's no reason at all to believe unprotecting this wouldn't just allow nationalistic POV trolling, which is common. Courcelles 00:03, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

This article was protected three and half years ago by User:Alex Bakharev, who has not edited since July 2012. It was protected with the comment "Excessive vandalism: permanent magnet for vandalism and trolling". While vandalism did drop off after the protection, most of the previous edit warring was done by registered users. This page is likely to attract vandals, but no more than many other unprotected articles, and surely not enough to warrant permanent protection. I would like to request that the article be unprotected. Thank you. 24.22.75.14 (talk) 22:46, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Long-term semiprotection. While it rarely experiences flurries of vandalism, looking at the article's edit history reveals that vandalistic edits from IPs and new users significantly outweigh any positive contributions from those classes of user.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There is a battleground between anons who seek to glorify the Sikhs by claiming the article subject to be a Sikh and other, usually registered, users who recognise that he was a self-identified atheist and even wrote Why I am an Atheist to explain his position. The latter is sourced; the Sikh claim relies on his ancestors' religious affiliations & am unwillingness to accept that WP:V trumps the notion that "caste"-type association is some sort of birthright. This has gone on for years but I'd like to force the issue on to the talk page. Sitush (talk) 17:54, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

That's not the point. More than any similar template I know, it is a target of vandalism or questionable changes in data; last year alone that occurred on 12 Sept, 8 July, 6 Apr, 7 Mar, and 25 Jan. Moving beyond, although an IP was responsible for beginning the en masse conversion (at least in the US) from 1971–2000 to 1981–2010 dataset. Though the changes were mostly faithful to their sources, they were not the normals figures which are the basis for the phrase "departure from normal". And this went unnoticed until just a month ago.

While there is a legitimate vigorous debate that is ongoing between registered users who are often at loggerheads but somehow or other seem to find some consensus, there is a constant peanut gallery of anonymous IP users not afraid to use a variety of tactics, at times outright WP:VANDALISM, other times WP:LAWYERING, and often WP:PERSONAL ATTACKS. Any review of this article's history since its creation in 2006 reveals a plethora of anonymous IP editors swooping in and engaging in controversial debates and incitement violating WP:Flaming without any accountability or any way of knowing if there is any violation of WP:SOCKPUPPETS or worse etc. The problem is furthermore exacerbated and it becomes impossible to conduct communications via normal user page channels with these constant interventions by multiple anonymous IP editors not afraid of making vigorous and controversial edits, deleting huge chunks of material, attacking the credibility of sources and of the subject of the article, while displaying accurate knowledge of WP:LAWYERING techniques without any accountability or way of reaching a resolution with them. Thank you. IZAK (talk) 05:15, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent editing by fans. A lot of non-notable and non-encyclopedic content is being added and changed by fans, almost all of whom are IPs. Semi-protection would be very helpful in keeping this article clean. I suggest that it be semi-protected for a good number of months, as this has been a long ongoing process that's unlikely to soon change. • Jesse V.(talk) 08:31, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: The game is due to release in a few weeks, so the page has attracted a lot of attention from unregistered IPs who add unconfirmed and/or unsourced information to the page (particularly in the form of characters in the game's roster).

Requesting the page be temporarily protected from unregistered IPs until either the game is released on 16 April, or at least for a week when the PAX buzz dies down.

Unprotection: This article was move-protected three years ago by an admin who is no longer active. Looking at the article history, I'm puzzled as to why move protection was ever used, given that there seems to have been no history of move warring - instead, the history shows edit-warring by IPs (almost certainly the article's subject). It looks to me like the protecting admin intended to semi-protect the article in response to a request on this page but changed the wrong permission. Given that there is no ongoing issue about naming, could it please be un-move-protected? Prioryman (talk) 20:18, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Unprotected I think, after a casual look, that there indeed was a moving back and forth between "businessman" and "lawyer" before 2010, so perhaps the move protection moved with the move, so to speak. Lectonar (talk) 20:43, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

The person they are adding, Mirko Fabris Krav, is actually a stand-up comedian (see Talk:Antipope#Someone's idea of a joke - Modern antipopes for proof of this). I have no idea if the vandal is a fan of this comedian or is trying to slander the comedian, but either way, multiple editors have been reverting these changes several times a day.

no Disagree - Banned editors are not supposed to continue editing. Acoma Magic should be blocked from editing his talk page, as well as other areas of the encyclopedia. Remember, he was unblocked solely so that he could participate in the ban discussion; nothing more. - MrX 02:07, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Look, protection is to be used to stop current problems. There is no current problem, AM seems to have moved on. If he comes back and edits his talk page for any reason other than discussing his ban I'd be happy to revoke his TP access, but there is no current pressing need to do so. In other words Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively.

since there is no "edit war" (as i explained here to the user who protected the page) and the main argument is that "BabyNuke says that i'm a proxy, because i write from Italy", i ask the unprotection of the page. The sources are all valid (pcmag.com, rt.com and others). The protection was simply based on the false, because i'm not a proxy.

I agree. Thank you Dianna. All the best. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 21:41, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protect for a long time. The genre warring and nonconstructive IP editing is not going away for some reason. This activity has been stale for a while now, and needs to cease. It doesn't help the case of the IPs that one of them has called some people "bigoted fools", as seen here. I don't want to donate any more edits to this petty crap. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 22:51, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

By the way, it is worthy to point out that this page has been protected twice over this same activity in recent months. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 22:53, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Edit-warring by IP. Changing the common name of "invasion" to "intervention" edit-warring without discussion and against established consensus. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 01:52, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Not done. It looks to be just one IP, so I've blocked 24 hours for edit warring. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:12, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Was indefinitely semi-protected, but got FPP'd due to an edit war, and now retains only its move protection. One of those school topics that will probably always be vandalized. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 22:48, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Specifically, both of you are blocked for violating WP:3RR and for posting grossly degrading edit summaries. Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:41, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: IP vandalism, the IP is using unneutral words and he loooks like that he wants to edit war the article. Alhanuty (talk) 18:28, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Note: Pages can not be protected because "it looks like it might be vandalized". Page protection is not "pre-emptive". I would re-post if anything does develop. Mlpearc (powwow) 19:32, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Constant vandalism and unconstructive edits as well as unsourced edits by IPs. Has been happening since it got unprotected. When it was ever unprotected it was often vandalized. See its history.

Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Multiple IPs have re-included information that is similar to what another editor, who is now blocked for edit warring, did. Suspected socks. Xeltran (talk) 17:19, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

I affirm this too. Just removed spam edits similar to the one posted by VicIlongo. SenyoritaMaestra (talk) 18:00, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Highly persistent non-constructive edits from an anonymous IP user resulting in edit wars which spanned several months. I managed to temporarily broker a truce (somewhat) on the talk page, but the IP user has recently resumed with vandalism. I have previously requested protection for this article, but was declined. Aero777 (talk) 19:35, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for two weeks. I am pretty sure this will be inadequate, but don't want to do long term protection at this point, as the article has never been protected before. Please re-report if the activity resumes when the protection wears off. Dianna (talk) 22:04, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Asked for protection on the page yesterday (request denied), vandalism continues today. Requesting that the page itself be granted indef (or very long term) semi-protection (due to ongoing vandalism) and the talk page be granted temporary semi-protection (due to recent vandalism). - Neutralhomer • Talk • 17:03, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected The problem is on the talk page, not the article page. The article has not been edited since the 28th. I have semi-protected the talk page for three days for BLP violations. Dianna (talk) 21:54, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
