Already protected by administrator Closedmouth.. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:09, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

I've never done this before, so, my apologies for not knowing the protocol. Would it be possible to get a little protection for the https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Rory_McIlroy page? The vandalism hasn't been by the minute, but it's every few days now, more so than most of the golfer profile pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnsmith2116 (talk • contribs) 22:19, 1 April 2014‎

Declined Dl2000 As it's only one user I've given them a level 3 warning and made a null edit to AGNEZ MO so that it can't be moved there. If they move it to a different title let me know and I'll block them. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:59, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Multiple IPs are vandalizing this article and inserting false and misleading information about the ethnicity of this individual's family.

Fully protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I've fully protected the page - hopefully the protection can be lifted earlier than three months but given the heat involved it may take some time to come to any agreement, if that's possible. No editor can be made to reveal their real world identity and any attempts to do so will be met with blocks - that's standard practice - ironic that it is an IP requesting it. 'Official edits' should be requests on the talk page as they are clearly a conflict of interest. Dougweller (talk) 09:06, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated POV edits and block evasion/meat/role account changes. The issues have been discussed extensively, inc at ANI, mediation, OTRS and - I am told - with the WMF. We may need indef semi before much longer. These people and their legal threats probably will not go away. Sitush (talk) 08:26, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

This is prolonged content dispute. Sitush is deliberately suppressing a very recent sourced newspaper report about IMPERSONATION of the article subject by "Team Anna" which was the subject of mediation. Sitush is refusing to discuss the matter on the article talk page. Sitush ran away from MEDIATION conducted by Admin:Sunray. These are official edits on behalf of the article subject organisation so that the Internet users are not misled, confused and deceived. Let Sitush explain why he ran away from mediation, and the emails his sources sent to IAC disclaiming usage of their books to promote Sitush's garbage. Is Sitush prepared to reveal his real world identity ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:7E00:0:0:F03C:91FF:FEDB:DDC8 (talk) 08:41, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

User talk:Hell in a Bucket (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection: i've had encounters recently with IP's posting derogatory and untruthful things about me. I'd prefer that Ip's not be allowed to comment on my talkpage to facilitate a cleaner history. . Hell in a Bucket (talk) 03:41, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. User talk pages are only protected in the most severe cases of disruption and it isn't up to that level on your talk page at this stage. It'll have to be revert and block unless it steps up a lot. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:50, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Temporary full-protection - Editor persistently adding unsourced and misleading content to the article despite a prior consensus against his edit and has stopped discussing altogether. - Aoidh (talk) 23:05, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Declined: Users warned. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:07, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Semi. IP adding BS to article. — kwami (talk) 22:56, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Also,Kwamikagami a bit of good faith and civility would have been nice to see. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:02, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Repeated vandalism from an IP editor who reverts the article to an earlier state. Freshh! (talk) 21:17, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Declined: They've stopped now, so there is no need for admin action. As it's a single editor you should report them to WP:AIV or WP:ANEW after you've warned them. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:00, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism magnet, as people try to either redirect it to, or fill the page with lore regarding Twitch Plays Pokémon. The redirect should only reflect canon source material. ViperSnake151  Talk  04:31, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:52, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. Agree the April's Fool vandalism on the page isn't witty enough for our exacting standards. Bishonen | talk 22:12, 31 March 2014 (UTC).

User talk:216.189.170.139 (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Inappropriate use of user talk page while blocked – due to the nature of block evasion and multiple ip trolls popping up might be a good idea to protect the talkpage . Hell in a Bucket (talk) 20:00, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Fully protected until the block expires. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:07, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
Yeah? I got there before you, HJ, and semi'd it. :-) Feel free to change to full protection if you like. Bishonen | talk 20:09, 31 March 2014 (UTC).
Oh.. no, I guess protect conflicts don't give any warnings. OK, *I*'ve changed to full protection. Bishonen | talk 20:13, 31 March 2014 (UTC).
Well, it doesn't make that much difference. They really ought to do something about protection conflicts, but alas, we do the job with the tools we have! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:15, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Repeated restoration of WP:NOTDIR violation. Jac16888 Talk 16:40, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: Request permanent page protection due to persistent recreation of an article deleted following AfD. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Willy Monfret. Ad Orientem (talk) 16:16, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Done. Deleted and salted. Bishonen | talk 16:36, 2 April 2014 (UTC).

Indefinite semi-protection.Steady occurrence of random IP vandalism, that while at a slow rate, persists consistently over several years. Problem stems from the page's topic of legal restrictions placed on minors. It appears the IP editors are merely minors with self-serving intentions, wanting to alter the page to create a false impression of what the law is so they can show it to people.Legitimus (talk) 16:02, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: I believe this is an important article as the person is the prime minister candidate for the general election 2014. There could be lot of controversial edits.

User:Johnlp (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), User talk:Johnlp (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs) and J. Bentley (Sheffield cricketer) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection needed on all these pages due to persistent vandalism and WP:PA breaches by banned user. The Johnlp talk page is seen by Daft as a "safe haven" because Johnlp has repeatedly refused to co-operate with anyone seeking to apply WP:BMB on "his" page. This situation must be stopped despite Johnlp's views because it makes a mockery of anti-vandalism policy when a serial reoffender like Daft can go there knowing the "page owner" will give him sanctuary.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – An edit war, caused by an editor with sockpuppets persistently trying to remove the (properly sourced) section detailing the subject's doping cases. The editor has already been blocked for both socking and edit warring but that hasn't worked, so it might be time for semi-protection. Sideways713 (talk) 10:44, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Verified well enough, but it'd be better if that claim also had a secondary source on it. Such sources are pretty easily found, however, so I'm not going to be pointy, the socking is disruptive enough to warrant the protection. --j⚛e deckertalk 15:18, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Not done @AldezD: In the diff that you provided, it appear the IP did provide a source for the material in question. It's not the greatest of sources and a quick conversation could be had about reliability, but it shows a genuine attempt to make constructive edits. (Personally I feel that a source may not even be needed as the number of shows in past seasons is typically not contested information.) If you have concerns about the article, it would be best to leave a note on the IPs talk page as this is not a situation where a page protection or block is warranted.

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. This former article was turned into a redirect after a talk page discussion lead to unanimous consensus that the former page was non-NPOV and OR. And IP hopping editor in the 59.101.xx range has three times in the past day attempted to undo that change, despite being reverted three times as well, by different editors. Similarly, also to the redirects at PWI's List of Wrestling World Heavyweight Title Reigns by length and List of Wrestling World Title Reigns by length, while also tagging those for speedy deletion, despite being told that's not appropriate at the first IP's talk page. ‎Would request block of editor, but IP hopping makes that impossible, so semi-protection, if not outright protection (as there's no reason for these redirects to change) is needed.oknazevad (talk) 12:14, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The User:Moscow Connection has not only caused the title of this article to remain inaccurate, but now also attempted to delete 9 highly reliable, sourced pieces of information. The user uses the guise of "NPOV" to heavily push Russian terminology when the rest of the world (hence the 9 reliable sources) calls it something else. This user is potentially toxic. Multiple other people have alerted him to WP policies and what is...and is not...acceptable, yet he refuses to listen. Even the United Nations General Assembly, which I think everyone can agree is at the utmost of reliability, stated that the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was never a valid state and therefore this is not at all an "Accession".

I would like to request the article Sir-Tech be Semi-protected for 1 year because of repeated anonymous editors blanking out mention of the game Wizardry 8: Stones of Arnhem for the past month. This was a game whose development was funded by sir-tech then canceled. I've discussed it's note-worthiness on the sir-tech talk page and I suspect much more information will be coming out in the next year or so since the auction of the abandoned sir-tech storage unit released previously forgotten paperwork related to sir-tech's bankruptcy and other projects. It's understandable that some people might not want this information to ever see the light of day and I have attempted to talk to the anonymous editors on the talk page with no success thus far.

I think blocking individual IPs is going to be the best option, as there are a number of non-autoconfirmed accounts which are making positive edits as well as this being a current event. If it heats up please feel free to re-request protection. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:51, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism and strange edits en masse. Oh, wait a minute, it has some kind of protection. But it is vandalized quite a lot - wonder if it is possible to raise protection level? Someone has to check those edits and they are quite a lot of them. We revert them all the time, so I don't know how this is working. A lot of extra work, for sure. Hafspajen (talk) 22:36, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Appears to be an edit war which would normally not be part of a page protection request, but believe this would warrant at least temporary semi-protection. Content about Mr. Musk and his status as a co-founder is being disputed by IP editors using proxy servers to edit. While a protection should never be used to mitigate an argument or edit war, I believe the multiple ip editors from proxies are leaning towards (if not entering) the realm of disrupting Wikipedia.--CNMall41 (talk) 03:19, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

The disruptive IP editing seems to start yet again. Disruptive editing include WP:NOTADVERTISING, WP:NOTSOAPBOX, WP:LINKFARM. WP:UNDUE, WP:NPOV.

This page was fully protected in 2009 to prevent vandals from activating the bots that it controls. However, I'm currently involved in closing CFD discussions to help clear out the backlog. Could you reduce CFD/W to template protection so that I can perform the closures properly, by activating Cydebot? The number of template editors is far lower than the number of admins; I believe that these users can be trusted with access to the page. As of now, the protecting administrator has not responded to a request to change the protection level. Thanks. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 22:48, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Note: This request contravenes protection policy (see WP:TEMP-P); I'm not convinced we want to go down this path. Spike Wilbury (talk) 12:02, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Full-protection for 60+ days or another time period Violation of Wikipedia policies by user Valoem. Valeom added that the subject's son, is involved in fund raising for the subject, Chaka Fattah. This is not verifiable information and is not true. It is a violation on the libel policy regarding biographies of living persons. Also, Valoem has written persistently that Fattah Jr., in the subject article under personal life, has been accused of tax evasion, fund mismanagement, and missed loan payments. This is also not true and not verifiable and a violation of the libel policy. While Fattah Jr. is suing the government, he has not been sued, countersued in a civil court by any government agency. In addition, he has not been charged with any crime, in any court. Please protect this page, which is the page of a living, serving United States Congressman. It matters what is on his page, as it could create legal issues or unfair media reports that connect him to his son in ways that are not accurate and not verifiable. Prior to making this request I deleted the libel material and removed that there are two lawsuits, when there is only one. Valoem undid the revision, and I subsequently undid his revision prior to this request. 71.230.108.152 (talk) 02:27, 19 April 2014 (UTC)71.230.108.152 (talk) 02:36, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

The issue stems from this AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chaka Fattah Jr., clearly an extreme conflict of interest, probably Fattah Jr. himself. If we could run and full user check on the ips in the AfD we may discover something. I do agree that a semi-protect is absolute necessary. Also the editor has been removing COI tags from the page. I don't mind notability tag removal as that is being discussed. Regardless, the information I found is from this source [21] and does state fund mismanagement and misuse of school funds. I was under the impression that it was lawsuit, but that has been clarified he is under investigation. Anyways I think we all know what's going on here. Valoem talk contrib 03:00, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Again, Valoem misstates the issue. This request for page protection is for Chaka Fattah and not Chaka Fattah Jr.. The Afd discussion, which Valoem started is only about Chaka Fattah Jr.. I did not remove any tags from Chaka Fattah In fact, my edits on Chaka Fattah left the COI tag on that page.I removed the COI tag on Fattah Jr. due to the partial rewrite performed by Cindy, an established editor. The notability tag on Fattah Jr. was removed based on Wikipedia guidelines and contain an explanation in the edit summary. This protection request is not for Chaka Fattah Jr. as that issue is still being discussed in the Afd discussion.Biographies of living persons should be given additional protections.71.230.108.152 (talk) 10:06, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Nothing has been misstated. The current revision is by NorthBySouthBaranof is proper. My initial edit was to prevent bias information from being stated due to a possible redirect especially given the COI editor's revisions on Chaka Fattah Jr. After reviewing the talk page of Chaka Fattah Jr. I felt that due to the sources a one line mention in Chaka Fattah Sr.'s page may be best. However, due to a possible guilt by association it is best to have information completely removed. As far as I see it this is best moving forward. As long as the IP editor maintains this there is no reason for edit conflicts. Valoem talk contrib 23:04, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm obviously trying to avoid edit warring, but apart from just giving up and leaving the article in a state that I think is worse, there seems to be no way to avoid it with someone who robotically removes this information over and over again without comment.

Change to Confirmed Users and reduce time. It appears that it was fully protected for 10 days on an article that is a current event. No template was applied to indicate the protection or rationale which tends to show unfamiliarity with process. Admin notified and requested to reduce/remove protection and add template but seems unaware of other options that are better suited for disruption by a few IP editors. --DHeyward (talk) 22:30, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

As the protecting admin; it was done as a direct result of a content dispute; and I have twice indicated on my talk page that I will happily remove page protection early if consensus is reached on the article talk page. Lack of a template is a technicality, and not a reason for removal of page protection in itself. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 02:26, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
It appears to be an edit war between two editors, not a multi-editor content dispute that will be resolved with consensus building. Common sense says that the editor with the protected version has no incentive to engage in the talk page and that is exactly what is happening. The other editor has no incentive either as it failed before. Blocks, 3RR/1RR, topic and interaction bans are more appropriate. Full page protection for 10 days because an IP editor is reverting edits of a SPA is not productive for the community of editors. Please reduce the time and level of production. Feel free to block edit warriors. --DHeyward (talk) 03:26, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
I have already replied on my talk page and at WP:AN#‎Bundy standoff. Please choose one forum for discussing page protection for the Bundy standoff article going forward.

Until today, you didn't provide any notification, including the template, as to why a 10 day full-PP was enabled. You didn't respond to the original ANI report filed by IP editor. You didn't note it here. There wasn't a request in your talk page. It's unclear why you acted. 10 days of full PP is unwarranted for a revert war between two editors. Please reduce the time and/or the level to a more reasonable response. There are unrelated edits to be made unrealted to the 2-party edit war over a single Youtube video. It's been brought to all these fora because of your failure to document the protection or even acknowledge which fora generated your action. Please lift the protection.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – For some reason this BLP is a source of prickly feelings. Anti-Bob Shaheen editors have previously added questionable, and potentially libelous content, Pro-Bob Shaheen editors have been removing sourced content from his article, particularly the well-documented fact that makes him notable: that he was a high ranking corporate officer for Adnan Khashoggi, a well-known arms merchant. Though there has been an open discussion on the article's talk page, the IP editors (either sock/meatpuppetry) continue to assert their POVs by removing this content without participating in the discussion. It's disruptive. Recommending protection from IPs and non-autoconfirmed users for a week or so. Thank you, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:58, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Sock/meat puppetry over the last couple of days from two IPs.

Indefinite semi-protection: This was semi'd for a year, but the vandalism to the page has been slowly ramping up again. It's not terrible yet, but I can guarantee that it will increase as we grow closer to the release date for the next book. We're sort of known as the hotspot for people to post DoaWK hoax titles and the like, and past edit behavior for previous books shows that this is frequently the trend.

Indefinite semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. This was protected for a short period of time back in January and as soon as it was up, IPs continued to vandalize the page. I can pretty much guarantee that this will just continue on in this pattern unless it's permanently semi'd, as this is a common edit pattern for the DoaWK articles, which are frequently vandalized.

Isn't going from no protection onto full-protection without trying semi-protection first an over-reaction?

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – There are a clique of editors who want to use an article page as an editorial notice board and insist that a factually erroneous map should remain in this article, supposedly so that someone would "notice" the faulty map and uploads a correct map. —Loginnigol (talk) 06:06, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

  • Comment: It would have been a lot easier just to fix the image, adding Indonesia as operator instead of edit-warring over it. The image has been fixed by me now (a simple image edit that took me less than five minutes in total, from downloading the old image to uploading the new one), so the problem has been solved and there is no need for page protection (it may take a short while before the new updated image shows up, since the old one is still in the cache). Thomas.W talk 08:14, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Comment When it was initially pointed out by User:Denniss that the content could simply be updated rather than deleted, you simply flat-out reverted him and claimed that the image "can't be updated". Yet as noted in the previous comment, it was easy to download, modify, and re-upload the image to reflect the changes; that is what normally happens - There's an operator change, the operator map gets updated. It isn't just removed from the article; multiple editors pointed this out to you and you decided to edit-war rather than investigate other possibilities. This isn't the first time you've edit-warred in recent days either, considering that you broke the WP:3RR rule over on the Saab JAS 39 Gripen article in the last 48 hours. Perhaps the problem is less with everybody else on the encyclopedia, and more with a single individual. Kyteto (talk) 12:25, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: This is a highly active and visible bot, responsible for archiving thousands of user's talk pages among other pages.

Actually the page is not protected at all, however since the bot is operated by Σ, whom is not an administrator, I think it would be prudent to allow said user access to edit the shutoff page.

Unprotection: The article has been semi-protected for almost four years now, and since then, we've implemented pending changes. Might as well be good to experiment with it, without prejudice against reprotection if persistent vandalism resumes.

The page is still semi-protected. The protection log however has some errors, due to the article having been moved temporarily in 2011 due to a history merge.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Because of the shunga picture in the article with an erotic content this article has been constantly vandalized and most probably will go on being be vandalized. The article would benefit of some kind of protection. It is just a lot of extra work for everybody removing all vandalism. Hafspajen (talk) 20:30, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

I doubt the specific imagery is the issue, more that it's about an artist commonly taught about in schools. The shunga painting isn't making it a target, sure it'll get some giggles and raised eyebrows from a class but I'm feeling the more innocuous "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" is why. Anyway, it's far from a high rate and gets blips which seem dealt with quick, probably not even worth pending changes though it could help. tutterMouse (talk) 21:07, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
Well, I would be fine with pending changes if it could help... Maybe it is the "The Great Wave off Kanagawa". An IP was vandalizing this article, and as the bot said, the protection was denied because the IP was blocked for 31 hours... Now the IP is back. Also other IPs were involved in the past.

  • Unprotect - Page was fully protected by User:Barek in response to a very short edit war. I have reviewed edits and find virtually no contentious editing in the 6 days prior to protection. This issue has been discussed on ANI [22], where I have made the same comments. Admin Barek has stated he is away from internet access and is fine with any decision taken at ANI; there has been no further response there. Contention seems properly limited to the talk page, and, as User:Ravensfire points out, the actual Bundy situation seems to be defused (for now), which should further reduce the likelihood of contention. I have requested on the Talk page that protection be removed, but apparently this was the proper forum. Please consider removing all protection from Bundy standoff.

They have submitted multiple unblock requests as of late, but don't seem to understand why they are blocked, or that the community is not interested in releasing the block. Today they've submitted four identical unblock requests, then two more unblocks [25][26] before removing one, then adding a bizarre reflist to their talk page. I think we need to indefinitely block the user from editing the Tristan.andrade.136 talk page, please. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:20, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Sockpuppet idiocy. NeilN talk to me 17:26, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Declined Only two socks and they are blocked by CU, who I assume has caught others and the underlying IP. I loathe protecting talk pages unless it is really a last resort, and I don't think we are quite there yet. If he comes back, then I would be pretty quick to protect for a few days.

Declined Going back a year, I don't see any editor who is blocked for any reason, sockpuppetry or not, so not sure how the claim is substantiated. The IP can't help if his IP changes. I do see some slow edit warring, but protecting the page would be the same as picking sides in a content dispute, which is not what protection is for.

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Article experiences continuous disruptive edits from new/unregistered users. Some are help while some are not. I think a PC is a good protection. Because by browsing the history, in April 2014 alone, there are lots of vandalism/blanking and reverting. If you think a semi-protection is good, well apply that. If you think an indefinite PC is not right, well make it temporary. Thanks. — Mediran [talk] 05:02, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Declined I am not seeing heavy enough vandalism to justify protection at this time. Most of the problem IPs have been blocked already, and it isn't multiple times per day.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Page has been receiving a ton of IPs adding potentially libelous content as of late.

or https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Ink_Master_(season_4) As a member of GOCE I have been editing this article for the past day or so. When I am actively carrying out the major copyediting work of the article I place the GOCEinuse tag to prevent edit conflicts during the time I am working on the major copyedit. Today user User:Hullaballoo_Wolfowitz has been wikihounding from article to article as he has in the past. I have done quite a bit of work on the article, and the user Hullaballoo_Wolfowitz is trying to incite me into an edit war or something. I mentioned that he could go to the talk page but he has continued to disruptively try to edit. I would request perhaps a temporary banning of him from the article or a page protection scheme be set to protect the work I have done on the article at the last revision before User:Hullaballoo_Wolfowitz started his disruptive editing behavior. Thank you for your attention to this incident.

Carriearchdale (talk) 03:07, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Comment. This request is utterly ridiculous. Earlier tonight, I began editing the page, already on my watchlist, at a point when there was no "in use" tag on the article, and about six hours after "Carriearchdale"'s last edit, I removed an unquestionably inappropriate category that she had added; [33] A few minutes later, while I continued to make substantive improvements to the article, she placed the COGEinuse tag on the article -- then, despite not actually having edited the article in the interim, returned an hour later and reverted all my edits with no explanation beyond a reference to the GOCEinuse tag. [34] This was a particularly inappropriate action since some of my edits removed material over potential copyvio concerns. Note that she did the same thing earlier today when the article creator removed an obvious error she had introduced into the text. [35] "Carriearchdale" is a very combative editor of whose work I cannot deny I have a low opinion -- because it is marked by, inter alia, obvious errors (like the incorrect categorization cited above) and grossly inaccurate edit summaries (eg, [36], where "copyedit - spelling" is used to "summarize" her removal of comment text; [37], where an edit summary of "reformatting references" is applied to an edit reworking table display and format) I took Archdale to ANI not two months ago over frankly horrendous behavior including waging a vendetta against an article subject, and this post is just one in a string of retaliatory accusations with no legitimate grounding in policy or guidelines. See User talk:Carriearchdale/Archive 1 for other documentation of similar behavior. And to all a good night. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 04:50, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

It's been protected indefinitely since the end of February, not 18 months and the reason there's no vandalism is because of the protection.

Thanks for notifying me, HJ Mitchell. There was move warring on this page, and its title has proven surprisingly controversial.

Indefinite template protection: Highly visible template – No need for full protection here. Edits like the one requested can be made by  Template editors.. — {{U|Technical 13}} (t • e • c) 14:15, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Not unprotected. The template appears to exist mainly to aid admins, and there is no obvious benefit to the change proposed on the talk page. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:59, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
@HJ Mitchell: Does it matter how small the change is, so long as people are looking at it to help improve it? Perhaps it is only exchanging a bullet for a middot. But the more any given page is "out in the open" the more people will spot errors and make changes. For example, I noticed the toolserver link [38] is down without replacement. Meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 03:48, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
It matters because the whole point of protection is to prevent ill-considered edits. Not just because they cause problems in their own right, but because rendering a change and then a revert of the change puts unnecessary strain on the servers. In this case, had I dropped the protection, several edits would have been made in quick succession, none of which had been properly considered and each potentially introducing more problems than it solved. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:30, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi- (or full) protection: Similar to the protection accorded to Naga, Camarines Sur, for the same reasons mentioned. What happened there was that a dispute occurred among other editors before I left my message on the Naga talk page in my attempt to intervene in the matter. As you might notice in my comments in the Naga, Albay talk page, the Legazpi article was also the subject of content disputes among users; I had left my comments in the Naga talk page and left a link to it from the Legazpi talk page so that I don't have to put the same message in two different talk pages.

Temporary full protection: Anonymous IP vandalism attempting to scrub the page of controversial information. IP trace reveals some of the scrubs are directly attributed to the school in question. I have had to undo this vandalism about a dozen times now. [40] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burntham113 (talk • contribs)

@Burntham113: Has added considerable WP:POV content to the article. Likely past the point of WP:UNDUE Jim1138 (talk) 03:45, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
@Jim1138: Edits were made with sourced information. People researching this school have a right to know about it's actions. A simple google search will reveal I am not making this stuff up. I'd like to politely encourage this user to make up his mind. Because so far, he's justified his vandalism on the grounds of sourcing (proved wrong), section length (then shorten it), and finally my point of view. This has nothing to do with scholarly sourcing, user simply disagrees with the point of view that the institution in question did something wrong, which is not a reason to delete half a page.

Indefinite semi-protection: . This article has a huge problem with random IP's coming in and tweaking data without a source for their changes, and it is almost solely from them. Almost no one bothers to pay attention and undo their changes. The result is an article where much of the literacy data has become corrupted and inaccurate. There are already a few reliable sources and little of the data is changing any time soon. It would save a big headache for people who actually care about the accuracy of these types of articles.
