Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Repeated addition of copyvio content and BLP violations, particularly from what appears to be a fan of the subject. Blake Gripling (talk) 12:19, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Only two parties involved, so full protection is not needed. I'm also not seeing these BLP violations or blatant copyright violations. No attempt discuss content on talk page, user talk pages, or edit summaries. — MusikAnimal talk 16:54, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – This page is the subject of a constant and long-running edit war with both sides making no attempt to come to consensus and repeatedly reverting each other with contested edits.

Indefinite Semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism, putting false information into article and adding fan pages to get attention to their websites. Certain IP editors constantly put fan-made websites in the External Links section as a way to get more attention onto their sites and replacing official sites with fan sites. Due to the high traffic page of the Spyro series article, I suggest a constant semi-protection to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. -- Aura24 (talk) 18:14, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated disruptive editing by IP users. EdwardH (talk) 19:23, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Vandalism has been spotty over the past two weeks, however judging by the extended history of disruptive edits from IPs a one month semi seems warranted. — MusikAnimal talk 19:16, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: There are many IP users vandalizing this article and arguing with each other and none are using reliable sources. I think a semi-protection on this page would be best.  — TheMadonnaMusicCN (talk, contribs) 22:33, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. — MusikAnimal talk 17:31, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Unprotection. The page was recently put under protection because of a perceived edit war between two users (self included). The reality was that this was over the continued inclusion of false and misleading information regarding the setting of the show. User:EvergreenFir and User:Fyvrael have insisted, inspite of cited info on the page from the creator of the series, that the show is set in New Jersey (the info cited says there is no particular setting). Protecting the page doesn't accomplish anything IMO. --ChrisP2K5 (talk) 03:56, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Protection was applied through the closure of this 3RR case (permalink). As I noted in the closure, the alternative would have been to block both parties. Each user is totally convinced that they are right and that the only edit warrior is their opponent. EdJohnston (talk) 04:09, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
EdJohnston thank you for your closure of the AN3 report. I'm fine with the outcome and, as you say, removing protection will likely not result in anything constructive. I said on the article's talk page that if ChrisP2K5 decides to continue the edit war after protection is removed, I will not revert and simply file an ANI or similar report. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 04:24, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
EdJohnston, please review your decision and consider the entirety of the argument. EvergreenFir keeps adding incorrect information to the page, I keep restoring the correct info. He claims to have proof but it's mostly OR, and the citation I made is from an interview that directly refutes his claim. It's not an edit war, it's a user engaging in disruptive editing. --ChrisP2K5 (talk) 05:53, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
Declined. Please follow the dispute resolution avenues.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:30, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. FK Hajduk Kula page is in the last few weeks and months, often targeted by vandals. Especially vandals with those IP addresses 195.88.12.94 and 188.2.224.85 I don't know why they keep vandalising fk Hajduk Kula page, but it is obvious that editors and admins have to react. There is a similar problem on serbian wiki redaction, also with fk Hajduk Kula page https://sr.wikipedia.org/sr/%D0%A4%D0%9A_%D0%A5%D0%B0%D1%98%D0%B4%D1%83%D0%BA_%D0%9A%D1%83%D0%BB%D0%B0 , and serbian admins decided to protect the page. If we look up on history pages and see often content changes and erasing references, it is clear that admins and editors on english Wiki, have to rise up some sanctions.Ajdukovac (talk) 04:45, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. One editor who was arguing nonstop turned out to be a banned sockpuppet, User:Wholesomegood. We have new accounts and IP addresses with no edits outside this article, which keep trying to add in the same information as this person, and arguing the same case nonstop on the talk page. This has be going on for awhile now. Please just protect the page against new editors and IP addresses permanently, since blocking it for a month won't make any difference, the determined editor just keeps coming back again.

Semi-protection, persistent addition of unreferenced content. 117Avenue (talk) 03:14, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Declined @117Avenue: From what I can tell the IP editor seems to be editing in good faith, and is trying to expand the article. I suggest that instead of simply removing everything, I suggest you try to educate them on our sourcing policies (since it looks like much of the information could be sourced). They probably don't know what a talk page is, but if you put a "refimprove" template on the article and left them explanatory notes in your edit summaries they'd probably see that and hopefully start adding references. ~Adjwilley (talk) 06:04, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Which IP? Over the course of the article various IPs have come and changed and/or added information. There's no way of knowing which user is correct. 117Avenue (talk) 06:07, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
I understand your concern, and it would be nice if they were citing sources. On the other hand, I'm not convinced that turning the article into a redirect is the best solution either, particularly since it survivied an AfD, which is why I'm reluctant to protect it right now. I'd say if an IP comes along and reverts you, slap another big {{refimprove}} at the top and make sure it stays there for a reasonable amount of time. Then if they still haven't added references, you'll have a better rationale for removing everything. That's just my advice, do as you see best. ~Adjwilley (talk) 06:34, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Unprotection: /semi-protection - I reasoned with the admin who fully protected the article into August of this year, who cited the possibility of editors getting into the legal dispute in which Yank Barry was suing Wikipedia editors as the reason for protection; and refused to unprotect. This is a very dangerous precedent to set, where in the event of a legal dispute, the article is entirely blocked off from ALL editors except for administrators. The link that they cited was this. Not only was fully protection only briefly mentioned, it was dismissed almost outright. I propose unprotection/semi-protection due to there being no guideline/policy/against one of Wikipedia's pillars for full protection. If this is not solved here, I will be heading to WP:ANI. This is again a very nasty precedent to set and should have no place on Wikipedia; The third pillar states that editors are free to edit articles, and this is counterproductive to that.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. About 5 of 6 acts of vandalism in the last two days alone. Frequent vandalism in earlier months and years. Indeed, a look at the public logs for this article show that there have already had to be 16 (sixteen) temporary page protection measures put in place, which regrettably have not prevented the persistent vandalism. Other articles on high-profile tennis players such as Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have had to be indefinitely semi-protected due to persistent vandalism and unfortunately, I now feel that the article on Andy Murray has to be indefinitely semi-protected as well, because it is clear from the history of the article, that temporary measures put in place have not resolved the long-term issues of BLP vandalism. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 00:12, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Let's hold off for a bit. The article does not have a high edit count (overall) and there are plenty of constructive edits being accepted by IPs and unregistered users.

Temporary semi-protection: Slow moving edit war. An editor using a few related IPs, almost certainly the long indef-blocked SNIyer12, has been slowly and meticulously re-adding unnecessary content to schedule tables that has been reverted by multiple editors, often with requests to discuss on talk page. This user is notoriously unresponsive, however. Given that, and given his historical insistence on re-inserting over and over and over again until blocked, I'm left with the options of either (continuing to) engage in an a glacial edit war, or requesting the page be protected. Hopefully so that he will go to the talk page, but most likely just in the hopes that it will stop. I'd simply do it myself, but I'm obviously involved at this point.

Actually the problem is between one user and virtually all of the dozen others. This has been going on for a month or two. It's true that in the past 24 hours one of the majority lost his cool and went 3RR but that's not typical of his behavior nor is the problem limited to just a single bilateral interaction.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent edit-warring, IP users constantly adding fan pages to get attention to their websites. Certain IP editors repeatedly put fan-made websites in the External Links section as a way to get more attention/views onto their sites and replacing official websites with fan sites. The IP users have discussed with the other users of not adding fansites on wikipedia on the Spyro talk page, but they disregard the 'Links that should be avoided' policy and continue adding the fansite external links in anyway. The Spyro series page was already blocked this week to all users besides admin, but right afterwards the IP users returned and added fansite external links again. This will no doubt create another edit war caused by the IP users that started the latest one. -- Aura24 (talk) 18:14, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Currently there are two single purpose IPs who are engaging in low level edit warring and who are reluctant to engage the other editor on the talk page. I assume that the two IPs are the same person, but I could be wrong. In one recent instance there was some discussion and one IP did participate to a limited degree. However, after two uninvolved editors gave a third opinion but the consensus that emerged was ignored by the IP. I think a temporary semi-protection will force the IP(s) to engage at the talk page more thoroughly and/or create an account and thereby become more accountable for their editing. This will help to move forward discussion, collaboration and give the IP's time to get educated on WP guidelines and procedures. — Keithbob • Talk • 17:26, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

  • Comment: a third opinion is not a consensus, but in any case, the history linked to does not show the IP ignoring the third opinion -- the IP has edited the article but has left the agreed-upon text in place. I intend to offer some help to take the article forward, but am busy in RL and may not be able to do much before the weekend. I am not convinced that the IP is the only one pushing a POV here. Please would the admin dealing with this take note of these things when deciding whether to semi-protect. --Stfg (talk) 10:37, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Comment: Please look at the pattern of editing on the page and talk page since the very specific point of the NRC request. When points of contention have arisen, I have consistently tried to bring this to the talk page and had these please for discussion ignored. I think the semi-protection will go a long way in helping the IPs to engage on the talk page rather than just reverting edits and ignoring substantive points of discussion. Thanks for your time and consideration. --Pengortm (talk) 12:52, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
Please be aware of WP:SEMI where it states (under Guidance for administrators) that semi-protection should not be used to "to privilege registered users over unregistered users in (valid) content disputes". This is a valid content dispute. The basis of this request is the claim that the IP is editing against consensus. I don't believe s/he has done so. If s/he does so in future, we can then request semi-protection. --Stfg (talk) 09:38, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
I think the "Unregistered editors should be making very few quality contributions" criteria in WP:ROUGH might be applicable here. While on the surface the IP edits may seem ok, in most cases I have looked at they are simply incorrect citations of sources or personal opinions. Trying to engage on the talk page and via edit labels has not been productive with the article unprotected. --Pengortm (talk) 14:09, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – I reverted copy-paste page move (from Russia Today (disambiguation)) and nominated page for RfD, but another user constantly reverts my edits, damaging visibility of RfD discussion. Please revert to "redirect with RfD notice" state and apply full protection for at least a day.

P.S.: same thing happens with the other related page – Russia Today (disambiguation), although I am unsure whether PP is needed there. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 09:29, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I reverted you twice. It was not a cut-and-past, but I agree that the move was based on the old version of Russia Today (disambiguation). I only reverted to the last consensus version, and I explained why on the talkpage. Please, finish the discussion instead of requesting page protection, and see Help:Disambiguation for correct use of disambiguation pages. Erlbaeko (talk) 11:33, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
There never was any consensus about this version. You alone ever argued for it. Anyway, while there is an ongoing RfD discussion, this page must be a redirect. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 11:51, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
I replaced an unprotected rediredt several days ago with a disambiguation article, witch is perfectly ok, according to WP:RFD. Citation: If you just want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article, you do not need to list it here. Turning redirects into articles is wholly encouraged. Be bold. Two other editors have also been involved to reach this version. (See my talkpage User_talk:Erlbaeko#Prods_of_redirects, and the page history.) You then changed it to a redirect and nominated it for RFD. And then you request a page protection instead of discuss the matter? Erlbaeko (talk) 12:19, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
I reverted and nominated specifically to discuss this matter, given that (1) the act itself is questionable and (2) even if DAB would reside there, some action (histmerge or speedy deletion and move) has to be taken. Note, RfD itself is discussion, which results into wider consensus. Anyway, now that there is ongoing RfD discussion where we both participate, this name should really be a redirect, and Russia Today (disambiguation) should be DAB (sync it to your vision of appropriate DAB for the subject), which could be moved to Russia Today if discussion result would be "disambiguate". — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 20:31, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
Declined, This is not the correct venue to discuss the merits of a redirect. that is RfD, which is where this is taking place. Erlbaeko, quit turning a redirect at discussion into a DAB page or you will be blocked for disruptive editing. Carry on the discussion at RfD, that is why we have it. kelapstick(bainuu) 20:25, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Edit summaries and contribution history give off a strong impression, along with his use of British English pejoratives with either IP (90.222.117.102 → "Sod off, son", 92.40.249.110 → "bollocks". Dan56 (talk) 12:05, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

I strongly oppose above request, after receiving an unfounded accusation of using multiple IPs. Two of those listed above (92.40.249.110 & 92.40.249.202) are clearly the same user on a rotating mobile IP, not a vandal. I suppose it's possible that Le contrôle de la qualité, a newcomer to the project, may be using a mobile device away from his regular workstation without being aware of any breach; I regularly edit via an occasionally-rotating home IP and am completely independent of anyone else working on this article. Dan56 appears to have a massive problem with the enormous critical acclaim and hyperbole for the album being balanced with a mere handful of negative reviews (of which there were previously none). WP:ALBUMS encourages balance, does it not? EDIT: "Sod off" is a "pejorative", eh? More like a response to an unfounded accusation. 90.222.117.102 (talk) 12:19, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Indefinite semi protection:

Persistent vandalism. I counted up over 10 acts of vandalism in two days alone on 5 July 2014 and 6 July 2014. Frequent vandalism in earlier months and years. Indeed, a look at the public logs for this article show that there have already had to be around 15 (fifteen) temporary page protection measures put in place, which regrettably have not prevented the persistent vandalism. Other articles on high-profile tennis players such as Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have had to be indefinitely semi-protected due to persistent vandalism and unfortunately, I now feel that the article on Novak Djokovic has to be indefinitely semi-protected as well, because it is clear from the history of the article, that temporary measures put in place have not resolved the long-term issues of BLP vandalism.

was full protected because of disruptive editing, when really it was a dispute over whether or not this school was notable.

  • This was indeed disruption as the editor above twice reverted valid redirections that were according to policy. As they showed no signs of stopping, and continues to argue ad nauseum that the school is notable (in their opinion, not Wikipedia's) then full-protect was a valid alternative to a block for disruptive editing. As the chances of this wholly non-notable middle school ever meeting Wikipedia's notability standards are infinitely low, indefinite protection is not painful for anyone the panda ₯’ 19:14, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Not unprotected No compelling reason for unprotection given, contrary, a compelling reason for maintaining protection has been presented.kelapstick(bainuu) 20:19, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Note: this school is not notable, so there's no reason to indefinitely full protect if no one's going to recreate it. I had misunderstood the notability guidelines of WP:SCHOOL, and so I thought it might be notable because of high significance which I showed with a third party source. I understand now. How is trying to ascertain notability with third party sources diruptive? This shouldn't be indefinitely full protected if it's not notable.Bmag32 (talk) 20:29, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Why didn't you speak with Callanecc about it? He is the admin who protected it and it is in his userspace. tutterMouse (talk) 22:01, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
That's not bureaucracy though, it's asking the person who protected it and whose userspace it resides in to consider policy (which is extra bureaucracy) and lower/raise as necessary, more a request from editor to editor. Besides, any admin would still want to consult with Callanecc regarding a page in their userspace and they'd ask it of you first too as a matter of courtesy towards that protecting admin and to avoid that extra bureaucracy you mention as talking to people about their actions isn't generally considered bureaucratic. Anyway, Callanecc has been pinged so I'd personally hope he'd make the decision than another admin declining. tutterMouse (talk) 22:22, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Makes sense. I had originally put in Full Protection but wanted to make sure I was 100% accurate so I checked the RfProtection article, 2 seemed to fit the best. Also with reviewer rights required, changes would have to be seen at least. However, that doesn't require they're accurate, just good faith. While full protection completely prevents edits, maybe that's too heavy as far as the ability to respond to news, verifiable news. Too bad there isn't a level that requires approval by someone who will verify and cite, like a Reviewer 2 or something.

Semi-protection: Various non-constructive edits ranging from unsourced, messing the page, and targetting Presstv's management which are important for us. User: Xenophrenic and AnomieBOT and Hayek added unfounded claims. Xenophrenic is persisting to add unfounded and wrong information about presstv's management which are not correct. User LibDutch and Mezigue had repeatedly reverted each other. Dr. Shakespeare has corrected but Xenophrenic and Hayek recently added wrong and unclaimed information. Unfounded claim, unreliable quotation and wrong information which are added by Xenophrenic which is targetting its management is as follow, please remove them:

1- "in its management. PressTV headquarters are located in Tehran, Iran." 2- " IRIB is independent of the Iranian government]], but is said to be close to the country's conservative political faction, especially the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution|elite revolutionary guards. Some media analysts and critics have questioned the purpose and effectiveness of Press TV given the repressive environment towards media. Attempts to establish private, independent media outlets in Iran have been restricted or banned, and Reporters Without Frontiers]] has declared Iran to have the highest number of jailed journalists in the Middle East. According to the 1979 Iranian Constitution, all broadcasting must exclusively be government-operated, and in 1994 the Islamic state banned the use of satalite television." Also Xenophrenic removed a citation from last part of coverage: User Hayek added Unfounded claim, unreliable quotation and wrong information are added which is targetting its management: " its head is appointed directly by the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei" please remove it.

Pending changes protection: I would firstly like to make it clear that this article does not suffer from a lot of vandalism, and the reason for the request is not due to a lot of vandalism on the article. However, occasionally, and very infrequently, some defamatory edits / potentially libellous suggestions have been made. I was concerned particularly that on 9 July 2014, a defamatory suggestion naming two famous people as being potential child abusers, using a very poor source, was put on the article and remained on the article for over 30 minutes before it was deleted. "Pending changes protection" could ensure that the article does not suffer again, as it did on 9 July, from defamatory edits, suggesting the names of famous people involved in child abuse without substantiation or reliable sources.

There's no need to fully protect it when one guy on a dynamic IP keeps adding content that is irrelevant (the mention of the next season's title) and improperly sourced (the new episode entry). And I've attempted to post to his user talk page about this but the IP keeps changing. And in one case he preemptively left me a message complaining that I would inform him that he's wrong.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 03:39, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Okay, protection in question has to be upgraded to semi-protection due to sockpuppetry. These IPs have all been User:Wiki-star, aka User:Dragonron, who has a thing for reverting me on the Power Rangers episode list pages. The range that the IP editors adding the content I've reverted as well as those trying to keep me from getting the page protected have been blocked in the past for being used by the sockmaster.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 03:53, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vietnam-based IPs have been vanadalizing this template since early July, for example, here where they change the name of Lumiere the candlestick to "Light's" (possessive?) Obviously not here to be constructive. They are also modifying the template to perpetuate what appears to be a hoax surrounding an alleged 2015 animated Beauty and the Beast series. Requesting 30 day protection from IPs and non-autoconfirmed users since the disruptive users have been the only IP editors to modify the template in the last month or so.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – I think this has been linked from an extremist site, because there's been a spate of IP vandalism. However, I would also suggest indefinite semiprotection, because a huge amount of edits to the article are the same sort of vandalism (editing a quotation because they don't like it), just not always as rapid. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 20:46, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

  • I've temporarily semi-protected the article. I hesitate to protect it because it's an article I can imagine editing contentwise in the future and normally try to avoid stepping in in articles where that's the case, but they're clearly editwarring over an accurately attributed quote. I've not edited the article contentwise in the past and really have no strong feelings about the content of the article, but did verify the quote with the full online OED, and will block the IP/user for obvious blatant vandalism if they continue committing obvious blatant vandalism.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Requesting 30 day protection from IPs and non-autoconfirmed users. Page was converted to a redirect in 2012. Within the last month, disruptive Vietnam-based IPs have converted the redirect into an unsourced article about an alleged 2015 animated Beauty and the Beast series. This has hoax all over it. Angela Lansbury as "Mr. [sic] Potts Tea" (she was Mrs. Potts in the film), and Jerry Orbach as "Light's [sic] the Candlestick" (the character is Lumiere). The prose in the article is mostly gibberish. IP user(s) are persistent and previous interactions with editors presumed to be the same were not answered.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I have no comment on the validity of the link. However, the addition of a link to copyright material is not prohibited when the link is to the owner of the copyright. If that was the case then a large amount of references would require removing. Example, in the FHS page in the external links section is a link to the FHS webpage and at the bottom of the page is a copyright notice.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – some user in another city has been editing the page for several months now.

  • I can definitely see what your talking about, with multiple attempts to change it over the last few months. The problem as I see it is that the edits are pretty infrequent, and there are a decent number of what appear to be good-faith IP edits mixed in. About the only real administrative action I could see being justified might be Pending Changes protection, but I'm even on the fence over whether that is justified. Monty845 21:33, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Page is under review for merge discussion and needs to stay the way it has been the last 2 years, undisturbed. Please restore version 617789658 first. Please protect until end of merge discussion 25 July. - Technophant (talk) 03:13, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Misuse of page protection to own an article is a serious matter, especially when Technophant is an edit warrior on several fronts. This massive disruption and forum shopping needs to stop.

Not done As TutterMouse said, this would be a very bad idea; we never protect talk pages unless people are actively being disruptive, e.g. lots of people are vandalising the talk page itself. Right now, with the talk page being the only place where changes to the article can be discussed, it would be an even worse idea. Nyttend (talk) 19:53, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm politically polar opposite to this politician, but I'm getting tired of repeatedly having to explain Wikipedia's policies on biographies of living persons, reliable sources, and verifiability and getting nowhere - and in the meantime content that is at worst potentially defamatory and at best still a BLP violation needs to stay out of this article.

On-going edit war which was originally about the date of the founding of the Conservative Party, and has since become about a series of edits, likely made by members of the Conservative Party, which slander the other Parties in the Union and try to make the Conservative Party look good. Likely trying to take advantage of Wikipedia in order to affect this fall's recruit. A clear NPOV violation. Compare, for example, This edit to the current version.

Semi-protection: Grossly insulting, degrading BLP violations and potentially libelous material. The reason for this request is not due to a large amount of recent vandalism (although the article did previously suffer from persistent long-term vandalism). Since the article was changed to "Pending changes protection" in November 2013, the vandalism has been sporadic and infrequent. However, I am concerned that grossly insulting, degrading BLP violations are still being put into the article. Such material was put into the article, for example, on 22 July 2014 (UK time) and on 3 June 2014.

Temporary semi-protection: There has been persistent vandalism coming from unregistered users; these users would put in programs that never aired on the station and either I or Cyphoidbomb would remove the postings and send the user a warning. I just came on here and reverted more vandalism edits (people who post shows that never aired on Treehouse TV). Some of these edits would be good faith, while others, particularly edits from one IP Address, "67.71.52.183", have been reverted, the user of that IP address has been warned, the user was blocked for a short period of time and is now unblocked. Other IP address users have been vandalizing as well, see this: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Treehouse_TV&diff=prev&oldid=618447821 Another example of users vandalizing this page is this: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Treehouse_TV&diff=prev&oldid=618368805

Certain users have been reminded numerous times to stop vandalizing or else they will be blocked yet they continue to do so even after they are blocked and their block is up.

I think the only way we will be able to fix this/reduce the chances of this article being vandalized more is to put a semi-protection on it. Ziva 84 (talk) 21:02, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Upgrade to pending changes protection This page is already semi protected, and there is still vandalism coming to the page (ie this, consistently).

Declined, Pending changes is a lower form of protection than semi, as anyone can edit, just not all edits can show, whereas semi only registred editors can edit.

Semi-protection: Long story short (you can read the longer version on the article's talk page and here), previously information was added about an article/review Alexander wrote under a pseudonym. Alexander came on and contested the addition of the information and WP:BLPN decided that the info shouldn't be included as it posed a BLP issue. Since then the info has been re-added by IPs and now a new account. The page has been protected in the past over edit warring, so a longer temporary semi protection would be a good idea here. I'd also suggest adding the option to have changes need to be vetted by an admin rather than have them added by any new account. I'd protect it myself except that I'm somewhat involved with everything and I'd like to avoid any complaints of a COI since I was involved in the debate.

  • Saw this on RC patrol. Slow moving disruption, but given the IP's comments on the talk page, not likely to resolve itself without some intervention here.

Full protection: They were six incorrect edits by various users since yesterday (27 July 2014). Costa played & scored in a pre-season friendly match against Olimpija, but it doesn't count as a league match. However, people think this match counts & constantly makes bad edits. What is more, the player currently plays for Chelsea, which can make him a target for some rival supporters from Arsenal, Manchester United & other teams, especially when the league will start. The last (and probably) worst thing is that he was born in Brazil, but he chose to play for the Spanish international team. This made him a number one enemy in Brazil. I don't see Diego Costa's page being in a lesser risk than Ashley Cole or even Neymar. User:BartSmith

Hello. Are you sure that the user is intentionally doing wrong (Does he has committed blatant vandalism in other places?)?. If so, see Wikipedia:Vandalism#How to respond to vandalism; you can request action to be taken against the user.
