The Blitz

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent socking by banned User:HarveyCarter who has been on about how the UK started WWII (not Hitler). Binksternet (talk) 16:15, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm not HarveyCarter and I never said the UK started WWII, only that the RAF began bombing Germany on 11 May 1940 and not 15 May. Please at least correct that mistake in the article. (FairleighJ (talk) 16:27, 1 October 2015 (UTC))

Oliver Typewriter Company

Temporary Semi-protection: Since the beginning of August, IPs have been changing (sourced) information in this featured article. I've attempted to engage on their talk page (which is difficult due to being changing IPs) and on the article's talk page. The only other editor to engage (it is an obscure article) has agreed with me regarding the IPs inappropriate changes. I've now reverted 3 times over the course of two months, so I don't want to run afoul of 3RR and I'm not sure what further action to take since the IPs are not engaging. Эlcobbola talk 23:02, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. elcobbola, technically it's three reverts per day plus have you actually looked at the source the IP is complaining about? NeilN talk to me 23:16, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ian.thomson

Removal of semi-protection: Today, this RfA was vandalized three times within ten minutes [1][2][3] by the same IP editor 2600:1000:b00f:d68c:63b7:80d8:480d:3c08 (talk · contribs). The IP editor was quickly reverted by three different editors. None of the editors chose to warn the IP editor (note the red linked talk page (now blue, post facto)). The last editor to revert, administrator @Ritchie333:, subsequently indefinitely semi-protected the RfA [4]. There are two significant issues at play here. First, This goes against protection policy which states this should be used "when blocking individual users is not a feasible option" There was only one non-IP hopping unregistered user that was committing the vandalism, and that editor was never even warned. The protection was out of process, and done against policy. Second, there is consensus that IPs may contribute. There have been three different discussions in the last year suggesting that RfAs should be semi protected to prevent unregistered editors from commenting. They are here, here and here. All three of these discussions concluded with IPs being allowed to comment, and two of them clearly marked as there being consensus to allow IPs to comment. With the indefinite semi-protection of this RfA, intended to stop one IP from contributing, all IP editors are prevented from editing the RfA. This goes directly against the standing consensus. I have raised the issue with the protecting admin: His response has been to dismiss the consensus decisions as they apply to preemptive protection, yet those discussions specifically reached consensus that IPs may contribute. Further, he bases his decision on precedent of two other administrators applying protection to RfAs this year here and [5] here. The problem with using these as precedents is that in both cases there was IP hopping going on. In the former case, the decision to protect preceded two of the consensus decisions, and in the latter case the RfA had already closed when the vandalism began. The protecting admin is preventing IP editors to contribute which goes against well established consensus and is also using semi-protection improperly. Since the protecting admin is refusing to remove the protection (see discussion), I am bringing the issue here. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 14:44, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia vandals spent a FULL YEAR constantly defaming its founder and it needs to stop. This is why folks say you cannot trust Wikipedia as a source.

There's a definite slow motion content dispute going on but it seems to be about vested interests trying to whitewash things. I really wouldn't be surprised if this request wasn't made by Ari Teman or someone associated with him at this point. tutterMouse (talk) 13:07, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Question: Smoore95GAGA, what is the source for the producer list? NeilN talk to me 00:22, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Well, most of the songs are written by Max Martin, Savan Kotecha, Ryan Tedder and Calvin Harris, but Continuous isn't mentioned as a writer or producer on ANY of them, yet they keep adding them as a producer. That is clearly false. Plus, no one ever adds the source for album producers, they're just listed as the people who contributed the most work to the album. And either way, this person is clearly a troll or a bot, because they will not stop, even though I have told them they are putting false information on the page.

Fully protected for a period of 1 day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Smoore95GAGA, so basically you're edit warring and breaking WP:3RR over unsourced information. I've fully protected the article to stop the edit war and avoid handing out blocks but all contentious information needs to be sourced. This, for example, lists two producers. Articles will be semi-protected against repeated additions of unsourced info by IP editors but not when both sides have no sources for their claims. NeilN talk to me 00:55, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Question: @CFCF: I see full protection, not template-editor protection NeilN talk to me 14:38, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
I see, the issue is that the lock icon is red, which can be found at Template-editor protected pages. I can't find the link to the protection icon in the template, but it would be less confusing if we could follow some sort of rule on this. It would be better to use the Wikipedia:Protection_policy#full consistently or to lower the protection level (as I don't understand why it is editable only by admins and not template-editors).

Question: Why did you pick these articles, because they're common words? I remember when you tried to get several arrays of random common words protected before and I'm still not clear why you think requesting protection for articles like this is useful as none of these articles have much editing traffic nor vandalism frequently enough. tutterMouse (talk) 10:13, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Khunda, Punjab

Temporary Semi-protection: This page is a stub, but it is periodically vandalized by anons. Btw, after 2 years of truce, anons started again: this edits (20 september) and, 6 days after my rollback, this edits (6 october). Starting from 2011, me and other users did some cleanup, several times. At this point I think that this contribs, that could appear as noob edits, are IMHO clear vandalisms, in bad faith. The copy of a WP link in "caps lock" to the same person, linked in the above line, the removal of brackets to that link, to add a substantial repetition of infos in the lead section, is really similar to some old edits (just to make an example). I request a temporary semi-protection, just to prevent another season of vandalisms. I check it periodically, from 2011, and I never requested pro; but if the situation is again the same after 4 years, is now time for a long semi-pro, IMHO. It would be a valid signal for the vandals, this page is not a free-vandalism area. It is a stub about a little village, but it has more vandalisms (or absolutely not notable and OT facts) than edits. Thanks. --Dэя-Бøяg 03:13, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Brandon & Leah

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent violation of Discretionary Sanctions on articles related to transgender issues and paraphilia classification (e.g. hebephilia). Edits being made and reverted back are in regard to Caitlyn Jenner - users have been repeatedly placing "(then Bruce)" after Caitlyn Jenner's name. Jenner is known as Caitlyn - according to Jenner, she has always been Caitlyn (as is noted and cited at the Jenner article). Noting in an article not about Jenner that Caitlyn was formerly known as Bruce Jenner is unnecessary -- readers can click on the Caitlyn Jenner article link and see who Jenner was formerly known as.

The Arbitration Committee has permitted Wikipedia administrators to impose discretionary sanctions on any editor editing this page or associated pages. The Brandon and Leah article is related to Caitlyn Jenner as Brandon Jenner is Caitlyn's son.

Alerts have been placed on the user pages of those violating the DS for Jenner related articles. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 03:42, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Jenner has never said she was always Caitlyn she said she was always a woman. I put (then Bruce) because if you are just reading that page you will think Brandon was born when she was called Caitlyn and his mother is a lesbian (both untrue) it is to avoid confusion. It would be a different matter if it said is the son of Linda and Caitlyn which it does not.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism/inappropriate edits over the past few days (about 30 of the last 50 edits to the page at the time of this post). Most of these have been small changes to formatting that are not appropriate (eg. removing m-dashes around clauses, removing the colons where content should be indented, and editing refs resulting in multiple errors). It's hard to say whether this is just incorrect edits or intentional disruptive editing/vandalism. These edits have caused many formatting problems/errors in the content, but it's hard to fix the article because the anonymous edits from a couple of different IP addresses have persisted, despite repeated reversals by several editors. I want to fix all these problems, but it's hard when the edits persist. Messages have been left on the talk pages of both problem IP addresses without a response. Please semi-protect this page so that: 1) the errors on the page can be fixed and 2) the anonymous editor(s) are encouraged to create and account and explain why they are making those edits (because they haven't responded to the talk page).

Cebr, I see only one set of edits (four total) by an IP since the protection went in. An autoconfirmed editor accepted two of those edits; you disagreed and deleted them. That's still only one instance of problematic editing; at this point that's not enough for semiprotection IMO. If problem edits become more frequent we can consider going to semi. --MelanieN (talk) 01:10, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

    • Cebr, you requested semiprotection two days ago, and it was declined because there had been only one recent incorrect edit. Now there has been one more, so you are requesting protection again. I'll give it a few days, but please understand: semi-protection is for REPEATED disruption. It is not going to be imposed every time an IP makes an edit you disagree with. --MelanieN (talk) 01:26, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

This user "thomas.w" has provided deceptive edit summaries repeatedly and carried out a disruptive editing behavior suggestive of cabalism. I provided three top reliable and trustful sources on the thopic (2 of them are UNESCO & Guinness world records) while he himself, on the other hand, didnt provide any source. he claimed falsely that i am against mainstream academia and against the defination of "university". He is solely a liar and a twister. --37.245.191.80 (talk) 08:04, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Madrasahs are not universities and never have been, and thus can't possibly have been the first universities. And they wouldn't have been the first universities even if the definition is widened to include schools of that kind, since Christian cathedral schools filled the same role as madrasahs, i.e. as institutions of higher learning, during the middle ages, and predate Islamic madrasahs (at least two still existing cathedral schools, in Rochester, UK, founded in 597AD, and Peterborough, UK, founded in 604AD, predate Islam, and several others were established much earlier...). Facts that aren't changed by pointing at a couple of non-academic sources. Thomas.W talk 08:22, 13 October 2015 (UTC) (The reason I reply here is that the IP-hopper has a different IP almost every time they log on, and thus doesn't have a permanent talk page,)
The arabic word "madrasa مدرسة" literally means: "place of studying". The latin word "universitas" has roughly the same meaning of the arabic word "madrasa". When you speak arabic you will use the word madrasa and when you speak a latin language you will use the word "universitat". This clearly indicates that the Europeans copied the concept of "the place of studying" from the Arabs. Al-Qarawiyyin is the first "place of studying" to grants its students degrees upon attending certain curriculum and passing certain exams. This is why it is considered to be the first university in the world by both UNESCO and Guinness world records. Reliable mainstream academia also consider alqarawiyyin to be the first university. All what the europeans did is that they learned in our universities and developed their own. See Pope Sylvester II for example. He studied in al Qarawiyyin university. Why did he choose to study in al-Qarawiyyin and not in ur cathedral churches!--37.245.169.126 (talk) 08:58, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Totally wrong. "University" comes from Latin "universitas" and means "a number of persons associated into one body, a society, company, community, guild, corporation, etc.". Which is exactly why madrasahs weren't universities, degrees conferred by madrasahs, if there even were any degrees, were conferred/awarded by a single teacher at their discretion, i.e. without a set standard, meaning that the value of the degree depended solely on the standing of the teacher, while degrees from universities were conferred by the corporation that made up the university, based on a single standard used by all universities, meaning that a degree had the same value regardless of which university it was awarded by. Thomas.W talk 09:15, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Totally wrong. The latin word "universitas" is used specifically to refer an organized "place of studying". This is exactly what the Arabic word "madrasa مدرسة" refers to. See Cambridge dictionaries which define the term "university" as " the place where people study for an undergraduate or postgraduate degree". Your personal defination of the term "university", by the way, is souceless and absolutely invalid.
Al-Qarawiyyin university was the first organized place of studying to grant its students degrees upon attending certain curriculum and passing certain exams. This is why the United Nation's UNESCO considered it to be the first and the oldest university in the world.--37.245.179.107 (talk) 11:49, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
That's not the mainstream definition of university. The mainstream definition, especially for medieval universities, emphasises the corporation, i.e is that it's an institution for higher learning where degrees are awarded by a corporation, not by individual teachers, and to a set standard, common to all universities so that degrees were transferable from one university to another (and teachers were able to move from one university to another). And that is also the definition we use here. Thomas.W talk 12:14, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

In what way is it not working? Pending changes does not prevent anonymous users from editing. Instead it hides the edits from the majority of readers until they are reviewed.

Because someone who clearly doesn't know the show went and accepted nonsense edits without knowing they were nonsense edits. If these pages would just be semi-protected, it would prevent these edits from being made in the first place and nobody would be able to accept them. This has been going on for weeks and weeks! It's the same person using multiple IPs and the pages are not being edited heavily enough because he knows to do a different block of pages each time! He's outsmarted wikipedia and you're all (not you specifically but, admins in general because I never seem to get the same one twice) falling for it. Can you see my frustration here? I spend 5+ hours a day fixing this guys nonsense and all I ever get back is "semi-protect for *not enough* days" or "allow someone who doesn't even watch this show to accept nonsense edits because they don't know any better."Cebr1979 (talk) 01:10, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Today's featured article always has vandalism. The debate around if and when to protect it has been discussed to death, and it's instead decided on a case by case basis. We try our best to avoid protecting the spotlight article on a project where "anyone can edit". I would protect it without question if it weren't TFA. And yes, school is almost out in the US, which generally means less vandalism — MusikAnimal talk 19:54, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Upon further review, none of the transclusions were actually being discussed, I started removing the easy ones, but there are about 130 remaining that have to be removed. This is more of a case of unnecessary/improper use of a template (not removing after it's no longer necessary) rather than a highly used template requiring protection. --kelapstick(bainuu) 16:26, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Currently "A-Class" Article. High level or deletion and changes due to recent release of movie "Bridge of Spies". Have wiki-linked only once to certain words etc through to be consistent. As Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/A-Class states in A2 "The article is comprehensive, factually accurate, neutral and focused on the main topic; it neglects no major facts or details, presents views fairly and without bias, and does not go into unnecessary detail". Therefore people should not be deleting information if people from Military History have passed it due to the above criteria. I ask for upto a seven (7) days lock on the article since I have started a discussion on the Rudolf Abel talkpage as you can clearly see to resolve these issues.

Anu Malik

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – An IP jumping anonymous editor is adding claims that the subject of the article has plagiarized a number of songs. Most of the sources supplied are not reliable sources (blogs and the like). The ones that are merely repeat the allegations but do not provide any proof (court cases, lawsuits, in-depth analyses by expert witnesses, etc) or rely upon the listener to hear it for themselves.

It seems to me that accusing someone of plagiarism is a very big deal and under the purview of BLP concerns.

Additionally there is a table that the IP keeps inserting which makes the claims without any discussion of who has made the accusations and whether they have any legal support. Including the table makes it look like a fact that the subject has plagiarized these songs while no supporting evidence has been provided. This strikes me as an even bigger BLP concern.

Finally, there is a talk page discussion going on which the IP has not taken part in but continues to edit war instead.

Have 2014 sources > GNG. I normally preview and create directly (I do have 40k edits). It will pass CORPDEPTH and not be an attack page. Widefox; talk 15:29, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
If you do it like that then it may be easier to create a draft in your sandbox or in the draftspace and then have an admin move it across, that way no one can come along and create it while you are working on the page properly.--Ditto51 (My Talk Page) 15:59, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
I'm sure the precaution isn't about a race-condition with the unsalting (you realise it was unsalted for a couple of weeks before, we're only talking minutes), but sensible (perhaps cautious) question of content/sourcing/notability. Twinkle took me here, I see I should've asked the salting admin first, but won't now in case it's considered forum shopping. Widefox; talk 16:27, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
Unprotected Alright Widefox, saying you will write the article is as good as having a draft in place for me. Typical protocol would be to request from the protecting admin prior to requesting here, but given it's standard creation protection, I don't see that as being an issue. kelapstick(bainuu) 19:10, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

  • @Kautilya3: All havocs on this page are started by IPs, despite being very controversial topic this article remains silent and no one usually do edit war on this unless any IP touches this article. Everyone is accepting that there is a slow edit war and no content dispute, but protection is done mainly for "edit wars" not content dispute. So many people are commenting here which shows that article is in big trouble. --Human3015TALK  11:47, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – A recent news item in Pakistani media has brought out edit-warring IP's to this page. I request semi-protection for a month to let the issues to be sorted out in a congenial manner. Kautilya3 (talk) 14:13, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. kelapstick(bainuu) 12:45, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

I am sorry. That is wrong the decision. A socking IP has done more than 3 reverts on a page that is under discretionary sanctions. Now the edit-warring is heating up. If you don't semi-protect the page, discretionary sanction has no meaning, because the unregistered users can keep reverting and the registered users have to sit by and watch. This is clearly not the meaning of "discretionary sanctions." - Kautilya3 (talk) 15:03, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

NeilN, do you mind having a look for a second opinion? --kelapstick(bainuu) 15:06, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
kelapstick, declined as well. The IP is not socking (there's no improper purpose that I can see), is using the talk page, and is supported by at least one experienced editor. Content dispute. Kautilya3, if you suspect socking please identify the master. I don't think the article is under any special revert restrictions and registered editors are reverting each other. A one month WP:1RR restriction might help. --NeilN talk to me 15:35, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Much thanks NeilN. --kelapstick(bainuu) 15:43, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
My newly added content was repeatedly deleted 4 times in the last few days: [30], [31], [32], [33]. Possibly NA122, the first reverter there, is the sockmaster, but there is not enough history to confirm. The IPs have used each other's words and referred to each other's edits. It is likely the same editor. There is an edit war about a Daily Pakistan news item, and I am caught in the cross-fire. Having to put up with this hampers my editing work. - Kautilya3 (talk) 20:47, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
We are assuming the IP is the same editor. Have they broken WP:3RR? --NeilN talk to me 20:55, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
No, they haven't. But that is because of my go-slow policy. If it was a regular editor, I would have reverted them within minutes because their justifications are bogus, and then 3RR would have been reached pretty quickly. The point is that "discretionary sanctions" is disadvantaging the regular editors like me while giving a free reign to the IP's. That is why I am asking for a semi-protection. Nothing stops them from registering if they are serious editors. - Kautilya3 (talk) 22:03, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Let me also point out that, last time this kind of thing happened, you sent us to DRN [34] and enormous number of man-hours were wasted before the moderator had to close the case as having "failed." This kind of thing is not practical. For contentious subjects like the Kashmir Dispute, we simply can't afford to keep putting up with drive-by IP editors who are here merely to push a POV. - Kautilya3 (talk) 22:12, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Kautilya3, it's not a free reign for the IP editor. He is bound by the same policies you are. Protection is constantly asked for on these types of articles and we're not going to set a precedent on this board by saying only registered editors are "serious" editors. I do have one suggestion for you. See if there's consensus to implement WP:ARBPIA-style editing restrictions on these articles. "All articles related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, broadly construed, are under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period). When in doubt, assume it is related. Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring." --NeilN talk to me 02:21, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Short-term semi-pending-changes protection: Please try not to block the user. as I would like to have a conversation with them first.

Rather than templating/blocking the user and damaging to the opportunity to engage with Suzy Wong (talk · contribs) as they are likely to be a useful source of information if we can find sources, and I don't want them to run off to another account/IP where they can't be engaged.

kelapstick That's a fair point, well made. As Suzy Wong is only at 9/10 it would ensure that the next edit (only) needed to be constructive and not a revert of the same. I think we're close, so this is probably all that's needed. —Sladen (talk) 13:56, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

protection: I have requested in the last 24 hours that the above article be locked for a week due to a user deleting a large portion of crucial information concerning the subject.

I feel they have are ruining the article's well-written reputation and it's "A-Class" assessment. Furthermore, I didn't even get to see the outcome of my last comment and it's gone.

In the absence of vandalism or disruption of any sort, how is semi-protection justified? As noted, the only disruption was by the unjustified reverts of the protecting admin. 208.87.234.201 (talk) 14:56, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
@NeilN: - by all means feel free to reduce to semi. The reason I protected it was due to seeing an IP making massive and unexplained changes to it. AGF only goes so far... GiantSnowman 16:56, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
First, this is not supported by the facts. None of the IP edits was disruptive, and they were properly documented in summary and the template doc. "IP making massive ... changes" is not a reason for protection. Neither is this a high-risk/visible templates. Read the appropriate policies (WP:PP, WP:TPE, WP:EDIT, WP:HRT). Nothing there justifies any protection. However, in clear contravention of WP:TPE, you removed functionality. Removed parameters. And, made a mess by delinking the template code from the proper doc version, which no longer reflects the code. The template should be fully unprotected, and your disruptive reverts should be reverted to the version of the template that has full functionality. There are pending changes that I need to make to make the template better. 72.43.99.130 (talk) 17:53, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
Semi-protected Per the transclusion count. Restored IP's edits. NeilN talk to me 18:31, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
Unprotection: Remove semi-protection. No evidence of activity justifying any restrictions on editing. No evidence it falls under WP:PTPROT as it is not "Highly visible ... used on an extremely large number of pages or substituted with great frequency". 72.43.99.130 (talk) 20:07, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
From my talk page: 'WP:PTPROT reads: "Highly visible templates which are used on an extremely large number of pages or substituted with great frequency are particularly vulnerable to vandalism, as vandalism to the template may introduce vandalism to hundreds of other pages. Therefore, they are frequently semi- or template-protected based on the degree of visibility, type of use, content, and other factors" (emphasis mine). The template in question has 500+ transclusions. Semi-protecting it is not at all unusual. If you browse Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive you'll see templates regularly being semi-protected.' No objection from me if another admin has a different view and lifts protection. GiantSnowman may wish to be consulted. --NeilN talk to me 20:31, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

The Harvest of Sorrow

Full protection: Continuous unjustified deletions on a page I created and edited alone. POV pushing by deleting editors, no contributions by them whatsoever. All well sourced with reliable sources. Other editors requested me to drop one particular source they perceived as biased. I canceled entirely the paragraphs related to that particular source. They continue to delete everything rolling back the page to a stub. Last deletion from User:My very best wishes seems to be WP:SNEAKY: "reverting legitimate edits with the intent of hindering the improvement of pages." He claims the problem is one single fact, then he use that single fact as an excuse to delete all the page content including the parts not related with it. -- Flushout1999 (talk) 20:55, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Google Earth

Semi-protection: There is currently a talk page discussion and a reliable sources discussion about re-adding a lengthy/unsourced/OR table which people commenting before today found inappropriate to keep. After I removed it, three drive-by users (two IPs, 1 2 and one newly-created account) who made no other edits to the encyclopedia reverted my changes. None of these users have accepted to take part in the discussion as requested (the latest actually considered me a vandal). LjL (talk) 17:17, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The dispute is being discussed in the proper places; in the meanwhile a few days respite from disputed re-adding of the material seems appropriate. MelanieN (talk) 22:44, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
@MelanieN:, is it now appropriate then for me to re-remove the material? Technically, I'd be over WP:3RR if I did so (the other user"s" conveniently wouldn't be, of course). LjL (talk) 22:47, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
@LjL: I removed it. At this point there is no consensus either way, but repeatedly adding the material while it is being disputed and under discussion is disruptive IMO. However, I still think you would be wise to avoid 3RR. Have you considered filing a sockpuppet investigation? --MelanieN (talk) 22:56, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
@MelanieN: for the "third" user (the one with an actual account), you mean? Since I assume filing one for two IPs would be moot. I've never filed an SPI before. LjL (talk) 23:00, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
Good point. The quacking is loud, but they usually won't compare IPs to named accounts - and at this point there is only one named account, so we can't really identify a "sockmaster". --MelanieN (talk) 23:03, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Khunda

Temporary semi-protection: my request is, more or less, for the same reasons shown in my request for its homonym village, Khunda, Punjab, that was protected using "pending changes". Also this article is a stub about a village, but is periodically vandalized by anons and new single-edit users that, despite any cleanup, simply fill the page, again and again, of irrelevant facts, lists of anything, unverified content, POV, their names and FB accounts, very badly formatted text etc. This version, cleaned-up by Mean as custard, could be a good example: after the "references" section title it is a sort of attack to a person (the smuggler), name and surname of edit's author that, despite the existence of a lead section, simply repeats the text, adding a list of everything including "admirable peope" (??). Last version, before my cleanup, shows also FB and Twitter accounts of the author. Btw, the habit of anons to fill this page of any kind of giibberish is old, simply repeated ignoring any clean-up (and pre-existent text). This game continues from 2010, and maybe vandals think that the page is a sort of "abandoned sandbox/battlefield" in which anybody could write his list of admirable people, Twitter page; showing carelessness for any attempt to wikify it. So, for this reasons, a temporary semi-pro (also using "pending changes") could be a very useful signal to remark that WP hasn't "free-vandalism areas", and to prevent further vandalisms. Thanks a lot. --Dэя-Бøяg 15:13, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

This request was erroneously placed at the bottom of this page, so I'm moving it to the appropriate position. A number of IPs as well as one registered account are editing disruptively, restoring POV violating and unsourced text as well as removing maintenance templates; all attempts to clean up grammar and POV are reverted.

Indefinite template protection: Highly visible template – So that template editors may edit. Steel1943 (talk) 14:07, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

@Steel1943: There's only 43 transclusions. Can you think of any reason why this template needs any protection? --NeilN talk to me 19:05, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
@NeilN: It looks as though the template was permanently protected by Orderinchaos (who has made only 2 edits since the end of August) on 28 March 2008 due to vandalism issues. Other than that, the template has only 1 transclusion on a page that is neither on a user (talk) page or a subpage: Wikipedia:Learning the ropes. In my opinion, I would say that since it has been over 7 years with no proof of recent issues (not even on the talk page), in my opinion, it would probably be safe to downgrade the protection to at least semi-protection, given that most of the old vandalism seemed to be caused by IPs and non-confirmed editors.

Not done What I see is you and another editor reverting an IP, and a discussion between that other editor and the IP on the talk page. That doesn't look like a consensus to me, it looks like an edit war, and you are asking admins to take your side in it. If it keeps up, full protection would be warranted, but this request is denied. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:31, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
It was not my intention to take "my side". I don't have a side. What I saw was an IP making a sweeping change with created awkward wording and after multiple edits finally took it to the talk page. When they met disagreement, they began using different IPs to rotate their edits. If I was mistaken, then I apologize for taking up your time. Dharmalion76 (talk) 00:32, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) This looks a lot like an edit war, so I've warned both Dharmalion76 and the latest IP in an effort to promote discussion on the talk page. samtar {t} 22:54, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
A warning is never a way to "promote discussion". Dharmalion76 (talk) 00:32, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
You seem to be suffering from a few misunderstandings. One is what warnings are for. they are not threats, they are warnings, like a warning sign on a road. their purpose is to help you understand that you are heading into a dangerous situation (an edit war) and you there could be consequences ( a block) if you aren't careful. The other is the often misunderstood phenonmenon of "IP hopping". Some users mistakenly believe that every time they see a user using multiple IP adresses, they are up to no good. The fact is that in many cases, a user has little to no control over what IP they might be using. This is a function of how their internet connection works, and what kind of device they are using. If they are using a mobile device it will change constantly. There is nothing dishonest or suspiscious about it. Hope that helps. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:53, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Semi. IP is skirting 3RR to add material that has been tagged as unsourced (and that contradicts our sources) with the explanation that it is "unsourced". I suppose that could be incompetence. They are also deleting the ISO name of the language, "Ganda", which I recently added a ref for (not that we need a ref for the lead), claiming that it is unsourced, despite the fact that it's used in the article and not long ago we had a discussion as to which name the article should be under with lots of sources for both.

United States presidential election, 2024

Un-SALTing: A "holding" page with no content was created for this title eight years ago. It was, correctly, deleted and WP:SALTed. However, today, eight years later, a growing number of RS are discussing the topic to the point that the creation of this page would be more than a simple "holding" page and would actually have meaningful and useful content. Specifically, the question of electoral reapportionment following the 2020 census has prompted at least one peer-reviewed study, at least one popular study, and a significant amount of RS-originating discussion. Ultimately, this is sufficient for a short article and no possible title to create an article containing this information would be more appropriate than "United States presidential election, 2024." I have created a draft here in my sandbox for review and request the page by un-salted so it can be re-created. The salting adming appears to be inactive.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing - IP's constantly disruptively editing this article. Please consider an extensive protection length. LLArrow (talk) 23:03, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Seta412, there is no such article in the English Wikipedia. --NeilN talk to me 14:15, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
NeilN It's in the Spanish Wikipedia, is there a separate request list for that? Seta412 (talk) 14:19, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
Seta412, every language Wikipedia has its own set of policies and administrators. You'll need to find the equivalent of this page on the Spanish language Wikipedia. --NeilN talk to me 14:24, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
