Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. I've checked this several times and instead I've found out that this is the same user who claims that MOR exists in Batangas. And it was really a disambiguation page. Hamham31Heke!KushKush! 09:05, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:16, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Temp full-protection: Edit wars 88.104.24.150 (talk) 22:57, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Same article, but requesting Temporary semi-protection instead to address the sockpuppetry. The article history does not indicate any recent edit warring that would necessitate full protection. VQuakr (talk) 23:15, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Disagree, because [1] - that's a reasonable edit requesting refs for a BLP; if semi'd that denies me (an IP) an opportunity to dispute 'facts'. As I said, let's discusss it on the talk page. Please stop the editing meanwhile. 88.104.24.150 (talk) 23:30, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
To be clear, XX.150 was not who I was referring to when I mentioned sockpuppetry. Still opposed to full protection as I do not see any edit warring that would necessitate it, but withdrawing my request for semi-pro per XX.150's reasoning. VQuakr (talk) 00:50, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
This request was submitted twice separately.

Temporary semi-protection Long simmering, disputed, controversial BLP with multiple slanderous and libelous edits often done by new accounts, suspected sockpuppets, or random IP addresses. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 20:59, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Declined It looks like there is at least one IP making positive edits so I'd prefer to leave it unprotected at the moment, since there is also discussion going on. My only other option is to fully protect which I'd rather not do as well. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:07, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection Dynamic IP vandal continually using article series to place their non-sourced predictions for the 2014 show, which aren't out until mid-February. Three weeks should work until the actual nominations come out. Nate • (chatter) 19:51, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Cartoon has been protected until the 8th, but I don't feel that protection is warranted for the others yet. So Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:10, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

User talk:X96lee15 (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Banned user Wiki-star's sockpuppets harassing X96lee15 and myself by posting on his talk page. —Ryūlóng (琉竜) 18:09, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Again, I do not wish my talk page to be protected. This is the second time Ryulong has requested it. Nobody is harassing me. Please withdraw this request. I will take care of moderating my talk page. — X96lee15 (talk) 19:48, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
No. Your talk page is an epicenter for the activities of a banned user and that means it should be protected, whether or not you feel you are being victimized or not, because I certainly am being victimized by his constant posts there.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 20:11, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
Please leave me out of your drama. — X96lee15 (talk) 21:07, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
It's a bit late for that considering he keeps going to your user talk page and posting bullshit. It's not going to negatively affect your ability to receive messages. No one contacts you anyway.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:02, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
Ryulong, what part of "it is wrong to request semi-protection of another user's talkpage when they do not want said protection" do you not understand? Ever heard of "don't feed the trolls"? Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 22:09, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
The prevention of edits by a banned user should outweigh one person's misplaced desire to allow disruption to happen.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:13, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
Ryulong, I cannot take your arguments seriously when you're always swearing. I don't want to have any more interaction with you. Please ignore any posts on my talk page. You're escalating this entire situation. — X96lee15 (talk) 22:15, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
Unfortunately, that cannot be done so long as this banned user, who has been banned for nearly 8 years, is still coming back and now using your user talk page as a way to harass other users.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:18, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
Declined This is a case where the interpretation and interaction of the banning policy and protection policy need to be examined. Given that it would be best if this is directed to AN or ANI so that the community can make a judgement. I would also suggest to Ryulong and X96lee15 the edit warring over the issue is not an appropriate way to achieve the goal. Further I was close to fully protecting the page to prevent the war continuing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:52, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated whitewashing removal. Oda Mari (talk) 17:57, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection instead of pending changes to match current protection on related article Dan Howell. The ongoing stream of original research and vandalism is similar on both articles. Constructive edits are few and can be handled easily through edit requests. With PC, it's just endless nonsense to deal with.

Semi-protected. Mark Arsten (talk) 02:50, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – There appears to be a not-so-pretty edit war going on here involving multiple editors. There is a discussion going on, on the talk page, but it doesn't seem to be stopping the back and forth reverts. 24 hours of full protection should help calm things down while the discussion continues.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Multiple IP's continuously insist on moving members of the recurring cast to the main cast. Been a consistent problem all season and for some reason, it's picking up even more now. (examples: [2] [3] [4]) Gloss • talk 18:54, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

What's the difference, and how is it vandalism? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:25, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
The main cast should only consist of the people featured in the opening credits (so in this case, Sarah Paulson, Taissa Farmiga, Frances Conroy, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Emma Roberts, Denis O'Hare, Kathy Bates, and Jessica Lange) but other cast members, who appear in almost every episode (Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe) are not technically main cast as they aren't featured in the opener. I've re-worded the note above the main cast clarifying this, we'll see if the issue persists. Corvoe (speak to me) 17:25, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
It seems to have calmed down today. If the issue pops up again I'll go from there but for now this request can be removed. Gloss • talk 00:58, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Withdrawn by requestor Mark Arsten (talk) 02:54, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

03 February 2014

Indefinite semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. This featured article seems to attract the ignorant. Despite the fact that a large the article is devoted to "the difficulty of convincing them of the validity of this identity", the "No it isn't!" posts still come with monotonous regularity. Of the last fifty IP edits, every last one has been reverted. Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:29, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

There's always another option, which is to let the gnomes revert the changes as they occur. I would not recommend PC for a page like this, which is not subject to edit warring and BLP violations, as it will not decrease the work of the gnomes, although it will reduce the number of gnomes available, and would prevent bona fide edits.

Reduce to Pending Changes. Article is protected indefinitely due to a clear and longstanding history of vandalism.

Note: – Over the past year, there is only a single post by an IP to the article talk page, and there have been no {{editsemiprotected}} requests.

Using long term semi-protection is not an ideal scenario & it's safe to say the majority of anonymous editors won't have a clue what {{editsemiprotected}} does or about it.

Semi-protection: IP vandalism. The main IP is registered to a library in Australia and someone there seems to have a bit of a grudge against this article (about a group of Australian professional wrestlers). The IP is removing sourced material and seems to think that "it's not in English" is a good argument for the removals. The group the article is about is based in Japan, so it makes sense that some of the sources are in Japanese. I could go for a 3RR violation on the IP, but since it's registered to a library, there may be a problem there.リボン・サルミネン (Ribbon Salminen) (talk) 03:06, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

No, the above user has removed a tag on a page and he needs to discuss it on the talk page and explain himself.

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Until the multiple content disputes (I believe 4; at least 3) have been resolved. Discussion is getting heated and page revisions are getting thrown around along with reverting and adding content that is still trying to gain consensus (posting the proposal on the talk then adding content without consensus).

HLachman and Ladislav Mecir are the major parties in most of the disputes; they are constantly accusing one another of unconstructive editing (which is true in at least one case) along with not following the consensus - building process amongst other things. --Regards, MrScorch6200 (talk · contribs) 20:07, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Partial unprotection: Currently both semi-protected and PC/1.

I suggest you ask @Berean Hunter:. Mark Arsten (talk) 04:37, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
I've never seen where policy disallows concurrent use. Could you please link to any such reference. Also, you have the ability to edit that article and nothing is halting you. Note that the semi-protection is due to expire in two days.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 13:33, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
There is absolutely no point to having both at once. The people who PC/1 would affect are unable to edit the page anyway. Thus the current state of affairs is exactly equivalent to just having semi-protection. This table does not list the combination of semi-protection and PC/1, so I submit that policy does not allow it. --NYKevin 14:47, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Autoconfirmed and confirmed users may both currently edit the article according to that chart...that was my desired intent. Both forms of protection are routinely applied together and your assertion that it isn't in the scope of policy is in error. PC1 will give lasting protection after the semi-protection expires.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – heavy and continuous edits from unregistered users (IP addresses) usually on the Cast and Characters section that can also be considered as edit warring. Polmags (talk) 18:12, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Question: The presence of IP editors alone does not justify protection. Do you have any diffs showing edit warring? m.o.p 12:42, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Most of the edits from here to here that were done by several IP editors on the Cast and Characters section are usually about, but not limited to (1) changing or making fun of the actor names and the characters they portray; (2) removing of the actor names that were previously part of the show's earlier episodes; (3) changing the order of the listed cast from the original alphabeticalized or as appeared in the show's opening/ending credits; (4) moving the actor names on different classifications. As specific example, when the actor Liza Soberano was added in the show, this IP editor moved her under Main Cast in this diff here and added her name here despite that she is billed as "Also Starring" on the show's opening credits. I have reverted that edit here and here but another IP editor recently change it again here. Polmags (talk) 19:45, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Appears to be an edit war over the title of the next airing episode due to conflicting sources. Jnorton7558 (talk) 17:53, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

  • Actually the problem has been a new user adding the same copyvio 3 times despite warnings, and another bordeline copyvio, along with the addition of some unsourced episodes and then adding the episodes again sourced to a fansite. The problem is well under control. The name of the next episode has just been something that has been caught up getting rid of the inappropriate content. --AussieLegend (✉) 19:09, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

In less than 24 hours the same Anon IP did a full revert to a year old version with nasty comments in the diff. I'll start a talk page thread and see what happens. Just remembered! why I so quickly assumed vandalism and double reverted: last year a long-term sock was issuing threats vs. editors and reverting dozens of inappropriate category removals. Hopefully it's not him and won't have to try again. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 18:48, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:United States presidential election in Vermont, 1964 (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP seems highly knowledgeable about many aspects of Wikipedia but unwilling to understand basic policy. He has reproduced the same text over and over for each New England state, New York and others. I suspect that blocking unregistered users will simply force him to register, which isn't a bad outcome in itself. Maybe I can get some outside commentary in the meantime.

Suggest two weeks. If successful here, I will request temporary block on the other articles as well. Student7 (talk) 01:55, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

PC1 for 90 days: Slow-motion ongoing insertion of material that is contradicted by existing sources, without supplying a better source. There are BLP implications. PC1 will ensure that non-logged-in editors don't see such edits as they will presumably be rejected. The WP:DENY effect will hopefully cause such editors to get bored and move on. See article talk page and history for more details. There are "less than 30" editors watchlisting this article now.

Arystanbek thinks that the city Karaganda should be spelled with a "y", which is sometimes done. This has been discissed in the past at Talk:Karaganda and there is no consensus to move. Lately Arystanbek moved Karaganda to Karagandy by copy-pasting the source, then made Karaganda a redirect to Karagandy, then put a speedy delete notice on the redirect (with the "a") because it's a typo. He's got moxy for sure. Indefinite full protection is absurd here- I can think of another administrative action with the word "indefinite"... Staecker (talk) 18:22, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

See this disscussion (User talk:The Bushranger#Suspicious activity) for details of whats been going on. The administrator Bushranger that I have been discussing with can confirm whats been going on. I have warned the IP against his behavior, but he continues. Last month he was temporarily blocked for the exact same behavior.

I request semi-protection for this article as the IP has decided to persistently target it and I don't wish to go beyond the 3RR, even though the 3RRR doesn't apply to vandalism. Semi-protection I feel is the best procedure. Antiochus the Great (talk) 21:46, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

@Mr. Stradivarius: of course. I should have posted more detail the first time around, sorry. This appears to likely be meat puppetry, not sockpuppetry (though that is possible as well). The article has been the subject of off-Wiki canvassing by third parties as well as the organization's founder, ie here and here. VQuakr (talk) 07:31, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
Declined. This looks more like a content dispute than sockpuppetry to me. The only suspect account that started editing the article after the Twitter posts you link to has already been blocked. I was considering using full protection to prevent further edit warring, but the frequency and number of the recent reverts don't quite seem enough to justify protection just yet.

Temporary full protection: This is a draft of an article that was intended to be taken to WP:LONGTERM regarding some particularly difficult sock puppeteers. The idea was abandoned, but I kept it in case it would be needed in future. Nothing links to the page, and it should be difficult to find unless you knew what to look for. In the past twelve hours, a user has taken to blanking the page on the grounds that it is an attack page and is refusing to back down.

Disagree - it's not "an editor", it's several different editors. YOU are choosing to repeatedly blank this page and replace it with redirects to unrelated articles - first the US channel, then a different channel in the UK which tangentially mentions this one on its article page. Your entire edit history is removing content, blanking and deleting articles with no discussion or consensus, and in most cases the reasons which you make these changes are wrong. To request page protection because a number of different editors disagree with you is clearly an abuse of the process. Bonusballs (talk) 18:17, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Declined This is protected due to a content dispute, so full protection is appropriate. The instructions for template protection state that it isn't to be used for content disputes. Mark Arsten (talk) 00:38, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Mark Arsten, I read that a little differently. It doesn't say it is prohibited from use on pages where there was a content dispute, it simply says that it isn't to be applied instead of full protection in these cases. "This is a new protection level[1] that replaces full protection on pages that are merely protected due to high transclusion rates, rather than content disputes. It should only be used on templates whose risk factor would have otherwise warranted full protection." I see no-where in there that it says that if there is a content dispute, this level of protection can't be used upon request. — {{U|Technical 13}} (t • e • c) 02:39, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Editor has removed cautionary tags and cited blogs as sources. Editor argues ("Dude, deal with it.") rather than discusses.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 02:02, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Declined I've warned the IP in question, there seems to be good faith editing as well so I'd rather not protect it. Report them to WP:ANEW if they continue edit warring.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Requesting long-term protection from IPs as this article and ones related to VeggieTales have been frequent targets for vandalism. One IP is currently serving a 2 year block. Recent IP hopper 70.36.* continues to submit unsourced media release dates. Quick double-checking shows no improvement over the current incorrect information.

Example: The article currently claims The Incredible Singing Christmas Tree was released July 19, 2002. IP user has changed it to September 20, 2005. Allmusic.com and Amazon say September 27, 2005. Getting warmer?
Example: Article currently claims VeggieTunes 4 was released May 10, 2004. User changed it to May 18, 2004. Allmusic.com lists it as October 5, 2004. Barnes and Noble lists October 5, 2004.

User:Callanecc, this request relates to the entirety of the recent pattern of reverts, not just the most recent dispute.

They're weeks apart so I'm not sure full protection is warranted (given it'd need to be long term to deal with a long term problem). I've killed my decline template so another admin can have a look though. Dogmaticeclectic, your threat to "add this request once more once it is removed from this page" suggests an attempt to make a point and game the system, please be cautious. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:18, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
User:Callanecc, my so-called "threat" was simply meant as a disincentive for you to ignore my request to re-evaluate the situation; I added it per my prior experience dealing with Wikipedia administrators.

Full protection: User talk page archive which should not be edited for any reason. Thanks. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 23:19, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

We can do that, but I'm curious about a rationale here. Nobody has disrupted that archive, and the chance that anyone will, is rare. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:35, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
There's a chance that a new user will try to start a thread on the archive page, despite the notice. Since the archive will never need to be edited again, there's no advantage to leaving it unprotected. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 01:31, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Bon Jovi, and songs and albums by the band

Temporary semi-protection: Unfortunately, this is a wide-reaching problem. An IP-jumping troublemaker (or group of them) continually seeks to change the genre listed for the band and its songs and albums to heavy metal (which is a disambiguation page, the correct target being heavy metal music). There has been much discussion up and down Talk:Bon Jovi about what genre the band and its works fall into, and there is at least a general consensus that "heavy metal" is not correct for the band generally, or for most of its works. Even in those cases where specific songs have been properly labeled as "heavy metal", the IP editor or editors involved in this activity have, without explanation, removed other listed genres, changed the correct article link to the incorrect disambiguation link, and removed sources (see [34], [35]. bd2412 T 14:16, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Declined, Bon Jovi is already protected, you'll have to list the others individually. Please only list articles that have been subject to repeated recent disruption.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs keep removing certain plot details, claiming that they are spoilers. Obviously, this isn't permitted per WP:SPOILER. Normally I would request only pending changes, but this has been a problem for about a week now. Experimenting with the locking the page for a few days would probably be a good idea. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:20, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

The plot summary has been expanded by Ryulong (talk · contribs) to make it less of a teaser and more of an actual summary. I think it is better to wait and see if the new addition, along with the editor notes left by the OP, will take. IMO, the removal of plot details hasn't reached the point of being disruptive yet. 24.149.117.220 (talk) 12:40, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Full protection. Persistent vandalism by autoconfirmed users Jim1138 (talk) 04:37, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Declined Full protection for vandalism is used very sparingly and requires a significant amount of vandalism. I don't feel that criteria is met here. In addition, to be auto-confirmed a user must have 10 edits and the account must be at least 4 days old. None of the involved accounts have met this threshold. The semi-protection put in place by Connormah should help resolve this issue. Mike V • Talk 06:25, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – There have been IPs from Amazon edited the article/talk. They seem to be the same person, possibly a sock of this user. Please see my talk page. They are misused warnings as I've used the article talk page.[43] and [44]. But it is impossible to talk to the user because of the IPs are always changing. It's not an ordinary vandalism/sockpuppetry, but please semi-protect the article and talk page. Oda Mari (talk) 15:56, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
