Francesco Parisi

Semi-protection: The subject of this article has recently been accused of some criminal activity. Twice now there have been attempts to "report" on the criminal allegations, in violation of Wikipedia's policy on biographies about living persons, and the presumption of innocence, see WP:BLPCRIME. It seems temporary semi-protection would be warranted. LogicSoup (talk) 04:46, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 07:47, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Alliance University

Semi-proctection: the page is currently going on IP vandalism need protection. Bullus

Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. Lectonar (talk) 09:44, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Jamie Kilstein

Semi-protection: He has been released from his job as a host due to allegations. However, so far none of these allegations have been reported by reliable sources. So as such they can't be included in the article. I am requesting temporary semi-protection to prevent IPs from adding allegations without good sourcing. Harizotoh9 (talk) 17:31, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ad Orientem (talk) 19:29, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. El_C 16:51, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

David Gries

Temporary semi-protection: I put this in a few days ago, and I'm resubmitting it as vandalism has greatly increased. All edits for the past month have been vandalism or reversions/removals of vandalism, coming from several different IPs as well as a few user accounts. Vandalism is the result of a recent meme among Gries' students. Nothing productive is happening on this page. PubliusHadrianus (talk) 20:23, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Amortias (T)(C) 20:34, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Kevin O'Leary

Temporary full protection. I came across this edit war via Recent Changes. One regular editor has plainly admitted to violating policy, another is misrepresenting the consensus policy to possibly edit against consensus, and two suspicious IPs have appeared from out of nowhere to do the same reverts that one editor can't do because they're up against WP:3RR. (The IP editors are showing an impossible level of Wikipedia knowledge for their very first edits.) I wanted to try to slow things down before people started violating 3RR but if this page is anything but fully protected, at least one block is imminent. Everybody's active on the talk page but most involved editors have seen fit to keep inserting, right or wrong, extremely contentious edits while still discussing content. A week would be nice. CityOfSilver 21:01, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Amortias (T)(C) 21:04, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 16:43, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
  • Some are already protected, but for only a few days. Every time one of these page gets protected, the user moves on to one of the others in this list. This has been the cycle, over and over again.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 16:47, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
  • Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. For the most part. I protected a few for two weeks, but most simply did not have enough recent activity, and we don't protect pages preemptively. Perhaps a range block is in order. El_C 17:10, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Star vs. the Forces of Evil

Temporary Semi-protection Multiple IPs adding incorrect genre, contradicting MOS and CATDEF.

AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:49, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - As the disruption appears to have ramped up just as the previous protection expired on March 1 (from December), long term protection appears appropriate. Mifter (talk) 18:56, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

@DrStrauss: Question: I have to apologize. For some reason, I originally took this as a deletion request placed on the wrong noticeboard, since the term "U1" on Wikipedia only refers to the speedy deletion criterion, so I went ahead and deleted the page. But now I realize you may have actually wanted the page protected perhaps "per user request". Can you confirm? Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 03:31, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. While there is some disruption, there are also some productive edits and the overall page has a low enough edit rate that PC is working as designed. Mifter (talk) 18:53, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

* List of Iranian dynasties and countries (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary full protection: Constant sockpuppetry and overal WP:NOTHERE editing. "AlpAy", a clear cut sockpuppet created today, changed the signatures made by IP 88.158.108.247 on the talk page,[1] and is constantly reinstating the exact same edits that the IP added on the page by the sole means of WP:WAR, exacgly like his IP did.[2] A block per WP:NOTHERE, WP:WAR and WP:SOCK should be the modus operandi here. Apart from page protection, as this article is seemingly very important to the sockmaster. -. LouisAragon (talk) 17:52, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

You did not comment on the change. I invite you to the discussion page but You threaten me and disrespect me. He want the page protection to hide the incorrect changes. You can check the talk page and the changes. They're lobbying.--AlpAy (talk) 18:09, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It looks as if the IP simply registered an account (am I correct in assuming this?), which we of course encourage. Not sure then what the sockmaster accusation is based on beyond that. El_C 18:15, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Excuse me, but "simply"? Does creating an account and persistently reinstating a new revision (incl. deletion of well sourced content) desired only by him and his IP some....nine times within ~ 2 days also fall under that "encouragement?" [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Ostensibly we support account creation, but not the way this person created it for, namely to enhance his mission to include an unfavoured revision. He should have stopped edit-warring/reinstating the material the 2nd time he was reverted while editing as his IP. Instead, however, as we can see, he just continued to reinstate it some eight more times. I'd say this is pretty trivial, really. - LouisAragon (talk) 18:27, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
Sorry, I missed that. Next time, you might want to consider listing a report on AN3. El_C 19:56, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
And per WP:SOCK; "Circumventing policies or sanctions: Policies apply per person, not per account. Policies such as the three-revert rule are for each person's edits. Using a second account to violate policy will cause any penalties to be applied to your main account, and in the case of sanctions, bans, or blocks, evasion typically causes the timer to restart. See also WP:EVASION." Didn't read anywhere that registering an account would change WP:3RR to WP:6RR. - LouisAragon (talk) 18:44, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
On List of Iranian dynasties and countries page, I made regulations by making the necessary explanations on the talk page. I explained all the edits I made on the talk page and in the summary of changes. Nevertheless; Without giving any reason, Changes revert by the @LouisAragon:. When I invited him to the talk page.[11] He deleted the message I threw at it. By ignoring the discussion page, Requested page protection and Used disrespectful expressions against me. He does not give any opinion as to whether the changes made are wrong or correct. He's reverted edits and provoking me. When we examined his personal talk page, We see [12] .They warn each other about the change and act together. Please see List of Iranian dynasties and countries: Revision history. Reverted by another user. When we examine their changes and personal talk pages, We see that users move together. This is called lobbying. If you look, you will see that he made no comment about my changes. He's making misleading statements to justify himself.--AlpAy (talk) 18:53, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm not claiming ownership, they never produced the show, Viacom International and Cinar brought the show to America, Cookie Jar didn't exist back in the day, and CBS was never involved with it whatsoever. It aired here in the US on Nickelodeon, and Viacom and CBS wouldn't merge until 2000. That's why I'm removing those categories to reflect the truth.

Indefinite semi-protection: Some IPs have been blanking the page recently. Beyond that, apparently some IPs have been semi-sneakily removing names, as is evident from this diff. All of that, combined with the page being of a nature that there are very few constructive ways in which an IP can edit the page, leads me to believe protection is warranted and justified. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 15:13, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Remove semi-protection: Protection seems to have been placed by a WP:INVOLVED administrator (Maile66) who is abusing admin rights for his own edits, blocking discussion after previously restoring edits that are traced to a racist and non-valid source through the use of false accusations of sockpuppetry.

Declined. First of all, the page wasn't protected by Maile66, and it is not protected indefinitely. And secondly, I am not about to undo another admin's protection duration without a really good reason. (Even if, admittedly, my own MO is for much shorter durations.) As for accusations of "racist and non-valid source through the use of false accusations of sockpuppetry"—the proof to that convoluted and confusing claim is in the diffs, which you have failed to cite.

Foundation for Economic Education

The article for the not for profit organization Foundation for Economic Education (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) has an exact quote of, "is a non-political, non-profit, tax-exempt educational foundation," which is a common statement made by not for profit organizations for legal and taxation purposes. An editor decided that the organization is “anti-government” and so removed the quotes (which creates plagiarism) and repeatedly changes non-political to the insult neoliberal. First did this as an IP editor, then created the account User:Blahblah fee specifically to make the same edit. IP blocking will not matter and blocking an account made a few seconds ago will not matter. So the only option is to allow the editor to make any change they like ignoring all language rules?

Solar Roadways =

Semi-protection random new users and IP addresses keep adding in the same nonsense from a YouTube blogger, despite being told it wasn't a reliable source in the revert summaries and on the talk page. No signs of this stopping. Its happened before, then the person goes away, then returns and starts doing it again. Sometimes clearly the same person, such as User:Wholesomegood, sometimes it might be someone else. No new user or IP address has ever done anything to the article that wasn't reverted, so I'd like it permanent. You can look over the page history, recent or the past 500 edits [20] if you want to see a long term problem here, and just check anywhere an IP address or red/new user has done anything, it always the same thing, and it always reverted by someone.

@RileyBugz: You're right that pending changes doesn't require as much recent activity as semi-protection, but it still requires that the protection be proportional to the problem. This article only receives a handful of edits per month, with the last 50 edits extending all the way back to August. As a result, I don't think the issue here is severe enough to warrant even pending changes at this time. "Watchlist and revert" seems to be working pretty well. Mz7 (talk) 17:10, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

I could engage in a revert war, but I figured this might be a better and more reliable route. So fine, it's one IP and maybe what I thought could be suggestive of botting wasn't actually, but do we just let anonymous blanket revert vandals slide?Ecthelion83 (talk) 19:16, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Korean dialects pages

Semi-protection: Anonymous editor engaging in revert vandalism by blanket reverting referenced content. Reverts themselves are not accompanied by explanations, but the author continues to spam my talk page in Korean, to which I responded to his IP's talk page in Korean explaining why his reverts were unacceptable (I based the estimated number of speakers for each dialect on the 2014 South Korean census data, the 2008 North Korean population data, and the 2015 Korean diaspora data, and because they're estimates, I acknowledge quite a bit of assumptions, e.g. that not everyone living in a Korean province is native to that province and thus may not actually be a speaker of the local dialect, but that's why they're reasonable estimates, but that doesn't make them so wrong as to merit complete reversion; in addition, the Altaic language hypothesis has been discredited [1][2][3][4] and this renders Korean a language isolate unless categorized under the as-yet nascent Koreanic family). I also explained that it is discourteous to write a post largely in Korean on someone's English Wikipedia talk page (well, at least I consider it to be so). The author refuses to acknowledge any of these points. I plan to request an IP ban, but 1) out of concern that the author may mask/change IP addresses and 2) as a stopgap measure to at least stop the revert war, I am requesting semi-protection of these pages.Ecthelion83 (talk) 15:29, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Nikita Borisoglebsky

Indefinite pending changes: Bio article has been repeatedly edited by Павел Катаев, who in their self-admittance has a close conflict of interest with the musician. The aforementioned user continuously reinserts the same content. Requesting pending changes as preventative measure to reduce their COI edits. Wes Mouse Talk 13:15, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Unfortunately, current version of the artcle about Nikita Boriso-Glebsky contains insufficient and old data in Prizes, Recordings and other sections. While trying to improve this information and working in a close conatct with the musician we added new infrormation with references to avaliable sources but faced restrictions. If Wesley Mouse is really bothered by the article's neutrality, as he wrote before, he is supposely free to present critical postion on the artist and his career and give alternative links.

2017 Hama offensive

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent POV-pushing by a single-purpose editor – An editor by the name of Obadakhamis, which would seem to be a single-purpose account (was created today and out of 9 edits he made today 8 were on this single page), has consistently pushed a pro-rebel POV in the article. He has made at least three reverts today (note all Syrian civil war articles are under a general 1RR policy - no more than 1 revert in less than 24 hours) of me and one other editor, consistently made pro-rebel claims without providing sources, and consistently removed sourced information along with its sources. He has constantly claimed the info he is removing (which talks about gains by the Army) is based on biased pro-government sources. Both me and the other editor (Mehmedsons) tried explaining that out of the three sources that he claimed to be pro-gov: one was a third-party source (neutral) and the second was in fact a pro-rebel/opposition source itself (SOHR). He in turn claimed the third-party source was pro-regime, without providing any evidence to confirm it, while he totally ignored the fact regarding SOHR being pro-rebel (and considered reliable by Wikipedia editors) and in fact also attempted to remove SOHR refs as well. He was also warned about 1RR but to no effect. Also, at one point, his reverts even broke the article's infobox result overview. EkoGraf (talk) 00:02, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Smith and Wesson MP15 and talk page

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. These pages were recently protected [[28]], [[29]]. The IP editor who's efforts resulted in recent page protection has returned. The editor is constantly shifting addresses but an investigation has concluded all the IP's are the same editor and likely a sock of a current editor (not 100%) [[30]]. Given that it's the same IP and the editor returned the moment protection was lifted I would request a longer semi-protection period.Springee (talk) 18:19, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

I dispute the need for this protection. The IP editor has not been disruptive. Felsic2 (talk) 18:29, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
This is not surprising given that you were supportive of the POV push the IP editor was making. However, the recent RfC was closed with comments that the IP was disruptive [[31]]. The IP editor is back. The editor is welcome to log in/create an account. Springee (talk) 18:40, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
You're assuming that all IP editors are the same person. I assume you disagree with the IP editor(s) POV, so this appears to be more of a POV fight than a legitimate effort to remove disruption. The RFC was supported by many editors. Felsic2 (talk) 18:58, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
The Sock investigation did conclude all the IP editors were the same person (see my link above) they simply weren't 100% certain that HughD was the editor behind all the IPs. Anyway, given that the IP returned immediately after the block was lifted restoring the block seems like obvious choice. Springee (talk) 19:40, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
I looked at the SPI page and didn't see any conclusion. In any case, there doesn't seem to be any disruption beyond your reverting reasonable edits. Felsic2 (talk) 20:27, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry you support such disruptive editing. I provided a link to the sock discussion above and you participated in that same talk thread. It seems the only editor on the article talk page that has supported the IP is you. Springee (talk) 20:32, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Ad Orientem, this is a long term issue that's gone on for roughly 2 years with a persistent block evader finding his way around semi-protection to insert his additions (which don't tend to be beneficial). Semi-protecting the article obviously isn't enough. Snuggums (talk / edits) 15:23, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
SNUGGUMS Indefinite protection of any kind is rare. ECP would exclude large numbers of editors. I'm not seeing the level of pervasive disruptive editing that would be needed to justify ECP.

Abdullah al-Harari

Request for indefinite semi-protection requiring autoconfirmed or confirmed access as par to Al-Ahbash

With reference to my previous request, I indicated that since Al-Ahbash got indefinite semi-protection requiring autoconfirmed or confirmed access, the Wikipedia page about Abdullah al-Harari will bear the brunt of constant and continuous disruptive editing because it is directly related to Al-Ahbash as Abdullah al-Harari is the preacher / scholar the Al-Ahbash follow. It doesn't mean that the Al-Ahbash page will be left alone. The game is already on by AbeEll (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) who made his entry by this preposterous claim against me and then on Abdullah al-Harari and Al-Ahbash. Following are some of his edits: In the edit summary of this edit, he claims about Abdullah al-Harari that "He is not "founter of Ahbash", he taught its Shuyookh and lead it, it was a group before he joined it." which I am afraid is not entirely correct. The truth of the matter is that the Al-Ahbash are called the Al-Ahbash, despite being originated from Lebanon which is far away from Habasha (Modern day Horn of Africa), because they they follow the teachings of Abdullah_al-Harari, who is originally from Habasha or Ethiopia. In his second edit is preposterous because the AICP claims that they are affiliated with the Al-Azhar and Al-Azhar denies hence the sentence "...which claims to run its schools affiliated with Cairo's Al-Azhar University,[6] a claim which has been denied by Al-Azhar.[7][8][9]". While making this edit, he has reinstated the edits done by IPs 180.246.67.138 and 36.79.65.55 from Indonesia in which they improperly cited the first article by misquoting it (The article clearly states "Islamic Scholars in Somalia’s northen eastern state of Puntland have condemned Shiite books allegedly loaded from Iran which tries to gain foothold in the Horn of African nation, Garowe Online reports......Books spotted in Somalia’s Puntland were largely authored by controversial cleric, Abdullahi Mohamed Yusuf (Al Harari), Sunni scholars said.") and then in the second source (a non-English one) they tried to promote Nahdlatul Ulama Online. (i.e. visiting Abdullah al-Harari's grave by chairman of Nahdlatul Ulama Online is irrelevant to this article on many levels). Although, I was not the one who inserted (this and this) and yet he blames me for making my own "assumptions and fabrications.". It is important to note that he has already started making the very similar changes made to Al-Ahbash as well. In a nutshell, he wants to bully his edits into both Abdullah al-Harari and Al-Ahbash. I am afraid such behavior will only increase in the coming days. Please, look into my request. Thank you. McKhan (talk) 08:05, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Ad Orientem, the IP-hopper keeps coming back to make the same edit over and over again. Since it's a different IP each time, what else should be done? If the IP is blocked, the person will just get another IP and make the same edit. This article keeps getting semi-protected because it's a vandalism magnet, no matter how often the disruption occurs. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 16:07, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
The problem is that page protection is not imposed for occasional incidents of vandalism. It's really supposed to be something of a last resort for pervasive disruptive editing because of the collateral damage it inflicts. The incidents you cited are all stale and I'm not seeing anything recent that justifies pp. I know it can be frustrating but the community has decided that IP's must be allowed to edit with only a very few restrictions. The trade off is that we have to endure a certain amount of low intensity disruptive editing. If it gets aggressive (multiple vandalism edits in a short period of time) then we can protect a page. But the odd disruptive edit every few days isn't enough, especially on such a high traffic article and one that generates a lot of interest from unregistered editors. I wish I had some constructive suggestion, but as I told Snuggums somewhere above, sometimes in life you just gotta roll with the punches. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:22, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

NeilN as much as I don't like long term PP this is probably a good candidate for it. The PP log is all over the place with different protections, but it all started around the election and I would be shocked if it ends before the current president leaves office. Let's just bite the bullet and semi protect the page for four years. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:07, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

I don't think it should be protected. The IP is not being disruptive. He is bringing up good points and discussing them in a reasonable matter. This appears to be an effort to skew the POV of the article. Felsic2 (talk) 18:18, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. Felsic2 (talk) 18:24, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
What Felsic2 failed to mention is that the IP jumping editor is likely a sock of an editor who is violating a topic ban. The IP has been blocked perhaps 40 times this year and has resulted in a number of page protections. [[32]] Springee (talk) 19:29, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
The problem being that it is only likely, not confirmed. Without this being confirmed...I can see only edit-warring. Another SPI seems to be the way here. Some of these day we might see a confirmed. Lectonar (talk) 20:03, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
The IPs have been confirmed to belong to the same editor. Given the behavior of the IP I see no reason why we shouldn't treat the IP as continuing disruptive behavior that had already resulted in page protections. Springee (talk) 20:51, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Vandalism has resumed immediately after the previous protection expired and the present protection level still does not seem entirely adequate and requires a lot of manual reverting of disrupting edits on the part of editors and admins. Could you please upgrade the page to the same protection level as the related pages Alexander Hamilton, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, Angelica Schuyler Church, etc.? I fear that as long as the Hamilton musical show is all the rage amongst youngsters, protection for the pages referring to all the related historical characters will be a necessary evil… sigh…Isananni (talk) 07:34, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

This article was originally deleted as a result of an {{WP:AfD|Afd]] referral and community discussion. It was therafter re-created three times, always in the same form, and deleted; the final time by me, when I salted it. The draft appears to essentially similar, and I would not agree to its re-creation. The second article mentioned has also been deleted four times, but not be me.

I don't think it should be protected. The IP is not being disruptive. He is bringing up good points and discussing them in a reasonable matter. This appears to be an effort to skew the POV of the article. Felsic2 (talk) 18:18, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. Felsic2 (talk) 18:24, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
What Felsic2 failed to mention is that the IP jumping editor is likely a sock of an editor who is violating a topic ban. The IP has been blocked perhaps 40 times this year and has resulted in a number of page protections. [[33]] Springee (talk) 19:29, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

The IPs have been confirmed to belong to the same editor. Given the behavior of the IP I see no reason why we shouldn't treat the IP as continuing disruptive behavior that had already resulted in page protections. Springee (talk) 20:51, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. I previously made this request on the 17th and I'm confused why "not enough recently" was the reason, when quite clearly the page is vandalised quite a lot.

@MarkehMe: Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Out of an interest in keeping Wikipedia as open to editing as possible, we typically want to see a higher rate of disruptive activity before applying semi-protection—more than just a handful of edits every week or so. I do, however, see a pattern of vandalism occurring over the past month, so I have applied pending changes protection, which will hold back edits from unregistered and new users for review before they are published.
