Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:35, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Create protection: Repeatedly recreated – Okay yes this version was last created in June, but upon looking it up as I was looking for alternate spellings of a page just added, it has been recreated over and over again

Also PP:

Roki Vulovic

Rodoljub Roki Vulović

There is also Roki Vulović which I created as a redirect before I realized it was recreated over and over again. Wgolf (talk) 20:05, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:40, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Temporary protection: There's been persistent disruptive vandalism being made on this article by an editor and a few IP users. I checked the IPs out, and found they are under investigations for being sockpuppets of the editor. This article needs urgent protection, until something can be done about the disruptions. GUtt01 (talk) 21:18, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:41, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Excessive disruption from 2001:4528:6021:5bf::178a:70a5 and similar addresses is eroding our most precious resource, the time of bona-fide editors. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:26, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:44, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Muzammil (talk) 17:26, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Following the misconduct of a SLC not-quite-a-cop beating up a nurse this mornin', tons of IP vandals are pouring in to vandalise and disrupt the article. L3X1 (distænt write) 21:01, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Already protected. Enigmamsg 21:08, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing – I propose a temporary ECP on this page because of several users who appear to be quacking trying to overturn the consensus at a move request. The RM had to be closed early due to the abuse of single purpose accounts, most of which were autoconfirmed. One of them tried to start an RfC to "circumvent naming policy" as well as a bit of WP:GAME. See the article's talk page and User talk:Robert McClenon for more. DrStrauss talk 10:53, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:58, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Debarghya89 (talk) 08:10, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. Samsara 10:21, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Reduction in protection level: From semi protection to no protection. This page has been semiprotected for more than 4 years, for no good reason. There was not any unusual or egregious level of abuse back in 2013 when it was protected, and I don't see how an article like that would warrant indefinite protection. Please remove the protection, at least to see if there is a problem. posted on behalf of 192.31.106.34 by -- There'sNoTime (to explain) 15:45, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Toddst1 (talk) 12:57, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I can see exactly why you'd want to protect, but there has been other activity beside the two main feuding editors. I'll have a word with the pair of them. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:37, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Requesting temporary protection of this talk archive so a script I use would fail if it tries to archive something here.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  15:24, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Memdreamer (talk) 10:41, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Isn't this primarily a 6-month content dispute between Memdreamer (WP:SPA who has repeated the same edit enough to get past semi-protection) and an anonymous user on various IPs (who repeats substantially the same edit but can never surpass semi-protection)? --Closeapple (talk) 13:00, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:56, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

User(s) blocked: 139.0.117.49 (talk · contribs) blocked by Black Kite. Samsara 10:17, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. The page was already semiprotect, but now there is editwar again. Article on it.wiki is also semiprotect for the same reason. Holapaco77 (talk) 12:10, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent additional of unsourced or poorly sourced content by IP's/anonymous editors of forthcoming musical release. livelikemusic talk! 13:34, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There's a lot of IP traffic on that page, and at least some of it is good-faith, so pending changes sounds like a better bet. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:40, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This article had to have some recent edits deleted via oversight - naming individual residents as criminals, etc., (without convictions). A different IP has now added further allegations against residents. Can we get semi-protection for a couple of weeks to a month, please?. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 14:29, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I mulled over whether to do this, or flat-out semi-protect, but since an IP helped remove the BLP violations in the first place, semi-protection would shut them out doing it again, so I'd rather go for pending changes instead. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:44, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection Asked for a week of semi-protection the last time; a day after it was removed the IP vandals returned anew to load the article with false and impossible information. Longer term needed as the children's show vandals are relentless. Nate (chatter) 06:43, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

At least make it until the 11th please (the network changes branding at 4pm US ET/10pm GMT on the 9th); there hasn't been an American children's channel article move to a new title that's gone smoothly because of IP cut-and-paste moves and vandalism.

The list of contestants is correct, referenced by the official site. The call-out order was being blatantly falsified by IPs (it has the correct contestants now), but the site did list the call-out order and I will add it as a reference and correct any errors.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Recent changes to his date of death by IPs/new users in the last few days, this occurring more than two years after he died. Appears to have happened about a year ago as well, when semiprotection was applied then. A relevant talk page discussion at Talk:Wayne Dyer#What date did Dyer die, August 29 or 30, 2015? was started by me shortly after his death since sources were saying both dates and the present consensus, though only established by me and one other editor, suggests the earlier of the two dates. Allowing a change to this date would affect not only this article, but also at least two others - see 2015#August_2 and Deaths in August 2015#29, which both list Dyer's date of death as August 29, 2015.

Yes, semi-protection would be more appropriate, but for an extended period (something like 4-6 months) since the temporary protections seem to have no effect with the disruptive editing resuming immediately after the protections expire. - Brojam (talk) 20:17, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

@Vanamonde93:, we are on the talk page. One, you are an administrator and should honor request for page protect as the other party does not care about edit warring and the only way to get them to the talk page is to either page protect or continue to reverse their edit. Other administrators indicate I should come here first to halt potential edit warring. Thus, you are supporting edit warring despite your statement that "Both of you should know better than to be edit-warring." This statement will not stop them. I do know better, but administrators seem to prefer to trap editors into edit warring or allow the article to go awry. Second, now he is attempting to intimidate me by threatening to take me it ANI if I don't agree with his supposed "common sense conclusion" of information not in source. --Spshu (talk) 13:10, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Continued problems with related IPs - supposedly associated with one of Dyer's children - changing the date of his death, but failing to provide reliable secondary sourcing to their claim about it, not to mention failing to seek consensus to change the date, since it's been mentioned on the talk page about sources conflicting about this info. Recent semiprotection edit requests to change the date by these IPs (from the last time the article was semi'd) have been denied, but the IPs keep claiming that they (or Dyer's long time book publisher) know his date of death. Whether their claim is true or not is not the point; they are not providing independent sources (completely unrelated to Dyer) to back their claim, and the IPs have been repeatedly reminded of that on the talk page. If they continue to be disruptive and not provide the independent sourcing being asked for, or just keep ranting on the talk page via multiple semiprotection edit requests without providing these sources, I'm afraid this article may be coming back to RPP repeatedly and seeing longer semiprotection periods.

User pages for Stelio

Indefinite semi-protection: Following semi-protection of International Securities Identification Number (as per talk page) the frustrated vandal has taken to attacking my personal user pages. See for example recent history including the comment "Updated Stelio and will never dtop" (typo for stop). The vandal uses multiple accounts, and the particular IP address for these edits has also done some good work, so I request indefinite semi-protection on my few user pages rather than a block of the IP address.

Question: Semi from who? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 17:45, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
CambridgeBayWeather - I assume from the user Jackatley, who created this article and continues to edit it regularly - I'm seeing obvious conflict of interest and autobiography issues here (and apparently you do as well - seeing the messages you've left on his talk page). The article went through AFD (link), which was closed on July 30 as Keep. I think that protecting the article would exclude editors that are making good contributions and edits to it. The best solution to this situation is to treat all edits made to the article the same - WP:BLP applies regardless of who is editing this article. Unreferenced and poorly referenced content can be challenged and removed, and editors who repeatedly and persistently add unreferenced or poorly referenced content to it per WP:BLP can be blocked, and edit warring / 3RR still applies (I just warned the user for edit warring due to the reverts made just today).

The latest remark that it isn't eligible for speedy seems wrong to me. While the AfD was closed "keep", the only "keep" vote was one that thought the nomination was invalid - and the closing rationale explicitly said so. Surely an invalid nom can't be a showstopper of anything? Pinging General Ization. Samsara 03:00, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
OK, I'll accept your reasoning that the previous AfD doesn't preclude a speedy delete. However, the deletion criterion specified was G11: "it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic." I do not see that as valid deletion criterion for this article, a) which has existed on Wikipedia for more than 8 years; b) in which the subject is clearly notable (even if they now claim they would like not to be); c) it includes citations that establish that notability; and d) it has now been extensively edited by editors other than the article creator. At the very least, another AfD should be required to consider its deletion. General Ization Talk 03:12, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
And yes, I can see now that semi wouldn't have been helpful in dealing with Jackatley. General Ization Talk 03:15, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Temporary full protection In spite of lengthy discussions in talk page, some users continue to regularly delete tons of sourced content (with summaries in foreign language by the way). We need one month full protection, the time they understand they need to follow consensus. --Launebee (talk) 22:03, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

By "they", I assume that Launebee is talking about me as s/he is reverting only my contributions[22]. But hey, no need to notify me, right ? This strategy of mass revert/page protection has been also used on the SciencePo article (a major rival of this university). As anyone can see, I have explained every single change on the history, and Launebee has reverted everything, and didn't seek any discussion on the talk page. S/he is trying to get the page frozen for a month on his/her version. XIIIfromTOKYO (talk) 06:33, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
There was a consensus on SP article, it is why it has been protected from disruptive editing. There was a consensus here, and XIII is doing the same type of disruptive editing (in spite of consensus reached with Mr Nurdule on many points and clear sources. See talk page.). --Launebee (talk) 07:29, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
""There was a consensus here"" Ok then, can you provide a diff to prove your statement ? XIIIfromTOKYO (talk) 07:35, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
Please refer to the talk pages of the articles you are talking about and stop using French in a manner people can't understand. You have to reach consensus before deleting sourced content.--Launebee (talk) 15:01, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
So you can't provide any evidence to back your affirmation. XIIIfromTOKYO (talk) 15:33, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

I have to say that I support the protection of the page, as a swarm of IPs have started to target the article[23]. They are trying to remove the warning templates (POV, advert, lack of reliable references...), so the protection should definitively manage to keep this templates to warn the readers. XIIIfromTOKYO (talk) 18:48, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

It seems to be a trick from this user. He is edit-warring in spite of consensus on talk page. Please block him for a few days. --Launebee (talk) 19:17, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

XIII is putting in the articles banners with no consensus even though the article is clearly sourced, and its content has followed thorough talks. He is also deleting sources. --Launebee (talk) 21:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Note: – If one editor is far in the lead in terms of reverting I would hesitate to apply full protection. Just now I left a message for XIIIfromTOKYO and hope he will agree to take a break from the article, to avoid sanctions. EdJohnston (talk) 22:00, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The page appears to be persistently vandalised in the past few days by the IP address Special:Contributions/2405:204:B109:9780:B2DB:16A8:769A:FF6B / Special:Contributions/2405:204:B005:458B:EE38:A98C:409A:EE5F to push a POV that everyone living in Assam would be an indigenous Assamese, where the word "indigenous Assamese" itself is debatable as the Constitution of India is yet to clarify someone as an indigenous Assamese by definition. The Assamese people is referring to the communities which have the first language as Assamese, and associate with the Assamese code of conduct regarding food, social structure etc., however, many of the tribal groups that do not identify themselves as Assamese, especially the Bodos, having an autonomous territorial council within the state, would need to be differentiated from the Assamese speakers, in general to bring distinction to the various sub-groups within this mixed group of Assamese people. The User has been constantly editing a few statements to reduce the clarity that has been provided in its current form, and hence requesting page protection.

Examples 1 and 2 can be the case. But since the Israeli cuisine page was protected, this anthem should too since new editors below 500 edits and IPs can't edit this page just for the record. Wrestlingring (talk) 14:52, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
I had looked at both of those and did not conclude them to be Arab-related. Israeli cuisine had edits from non-extended confirmed users that specifically referred to Palestine, e.g. [24]. Samsara 15:00, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Brady Haran and CGP Grey run a podcast called Hello Internet. Fans of this podcast are known as "Tims". While most of them are just people who like a podcast, a few of them have taken to vandalising Wikipedia persistently to insert fancruft into these three articles (and also to a lesser extent Grenfell Centre, which is a topic that has been discussed on the podcast). Particularly egregious examples of this fancruft have been edit wars over what should be the "official flag" of the podcast and now this insistence that Haran should be referred to as "vice-host" instead of "co-host" of the podcast. The point that using such in-jokes and neologisms will only confuse the readership has fallen on deaf ears as the people doing this are editing for their own entertainment, not in any hope of contributing to the building of an encyclopaedia.

Unfortunately, and probably unwisely, it seems that Grey and Haran have let it be known that they find at least some of this vandalism amusing, which only encourages it and it is becoming a long term source of low level disruption and annoyance (For details and discussion see Talk:Brady_Haran#Semi-protected_edit_request_on_25_August_2017).

Accordingly, I propose indefinte semi-protection of all three articles. This has gone on too long for temporary protection to do any good. Two of these articles are BLPs and, while Grey and Haran may have been foolish in encouraging this, it is not in either Wikipedia's interests or theirs for their biographies to be full of neologisms and other fancruft that just makes them, and us, look silly. DanielRigal (talk) 20:07, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Done It's a bit of an extreme step, but when the podcast itself encourages nonsense edits, it's unfair to expect watchers of the pages to constantly have to revert the waves of vandalism coming. Enigmamsg 20:20, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Short-term full protection of page but not its talk page. Ongoing "civil PoV" and editwarring/revertwarring, over a matter still under discussion on the talk page, and slated for an RfC people keep claiming they're going to draft and then don't. WP guidelines should never be reverted back and forth in this manner; it has a destabilizing effect and is not how WP:Consensus is formed about WP:P&G matters.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  08:55, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

To protecting admin: please consider which request to take. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 19:52, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I'm sure that it'll probably need to be extended when it expires, but lets try starting at this duration and re-evaluate from there. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:21, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite long-term extended protection: 30/500 enforcement and incorporate this template in some articles. Wrestlingring (talk) 15:30, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Question: for fellow admins: Should we ask for evidence to be provided of Arab-Israel conflict based disruption by non-extended confirmed users for submissions like this one? Samsara 15:44, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
Yes. Ever since the ArbCom ruling, it's been a game amongst editors to find as many articles as possible tangentially related to the conflict so they can say it's arbitration enforcement. I do not like this and if the editors are not going to make a case for protection, these requests should be summarily denied. Enigmamsg 20:28, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
I try to read the articles and find it myself, but this example here (where there are tons listed) is why I understand why an admin would ask the reporter for it. I've also noticed this trend at times, where editors locate articles and get them listed. It almost comes off as WP:POINT to me at times... ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:20, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
I've been responding to a lot of reports in the last couple of months and there must have been several hundred of pages reported (like this, there have been other mass reports with 5+ pages listed and individual reports) with no explanation other than "arbitration enforcement". Users are just trying to find anything that could be tangentially related to the subject so they can get it protected, as if it's a competition. I would recommend declining all these types of reports. Enigmamsg 00:49, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
Unfortunately this remains a confusing situation for all involved (except it appears, Arbcom), but my opinion is also that there is a consensus among admins that there should be some signs of disruption before any level of protection. I don't particularly mind how it's demonstrated, but a request like this one has not demonstrated it. -- zzuuzz (talk) 05:38, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
Hopefully, most of the confusion has been addressed by Wikipedia:Rough guide to extended confirmed protection#As arbitration enforcement.
This rough guide is now linked to from the text near top of this page.
I have looked at the last few on the list and wouldn't describe any of them as having editing disputes. One of them has a few reverted edits several months ago, which I wouldn't call a dispute.
Perhaps User:Wrestlingring would like to highlight any cases where there are disputes involving newer editors.

This user's request appears to be intended to resolve a content dispute. 95.145.130.78 (talk) 08:54, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
The IP (the one commenting above) has carried out another set of reverts since this report and is continuing with the inappropriate edit summaries. Number 57 09:03, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
The manual of style applies to all articles, even ones you wish to WP:OWN. This remains a content dispute and the request for protection is spurious and malicious. 95.145.130.78 (talk) 09:48, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
The IP has now made yet another round of reverts and given me a vandalism warning. Any chance this could be prioritised? Cheers, Number 57 09:49, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
Any chance this could be deleted from the page with no action, as specified at the top for requests intended to resolve a content dispute? Take it to the correct venue, Number 57.

DeclinedWarn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Primefac (talk) 17:54, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
@Primefac: It's not vandalism, nor is it really an ANI issue (their inappropriate edit summaries aren't really enough to block them). It's a simple refusal to accept WP:BRD and the request to gain consensus for their edits (ANI almost never acts on that in my experience); the IP seems intent on reverting indefinitely, although they won't breach 3RR (or get sanctioned for that) because I won't go past that myself. In the meantime, there doesn't seem to be any way to get the articles back to the original state without getting them semi-protected. Could you reconsider? Thanks, Number 57 18:49, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

@Primefac: It is just not all about one IP blanking, 90% of all IPs' edits were just nothing but vandalism. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:56, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
Pkbwcgs, if one IP is vandalising multiple pages, you take them to AIV, not protect one page. Primefac (talk) 18:36, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
@Primefac: I agree with the nominator. Looking at the IP edits throughout the history of the article, almost zero were constructive. That's the whole point of protection, to increase the signal to noise ratio and improve stability. Right now all we get from IP addresses in this article is disruption. I would apply indef semi to this, or at least indef PCP (but my objection to PCP is that it doesn't reduce anyone's workload). ~Anachronist (talk) 22:03, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I think indefinite semi-protection would be appropriate as it is a major target for IP vandals as it is the actual user page of the founder of Wikipedia. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:15, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Note: @Muboshgu: It looks like a dispute to me. I would suggest looking into rephrasing the disputed passage to see if that diffuses the conflict - perhaps attributing the source more explicitly and/or linking the statement more explicitly to the subject of the article. IMO, the sentence currently hangs rather loosely within the article and may fare poorly in a BLP review. Samsara 17:39, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite long-term extended protection: 30/500 enforcement. Revised from a earlier request that was denied. Wrestlingring (talk) 14:02, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Note: @Wrestlingring: Your earlier request was declined as there was a consensus among admins attending to the case that the required disruption was not evident. A suggestion was made that future similar requests should be accompanied by evidence of such disruption. Can you provide relevant diffs for the above articles, showing that non-extended confirmed users have caused disruption that is related to the Arab-Israel conflict? Samsara 15:01, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
The following edits seem to be disrupted: Hamas Covenant, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Israel, Islam and antisemitism, Ruhollah Khomeini, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, etc... Then again Samsara, the countries that are still at war or have relations with Israel can also be protected. Wrestlingring (talk) 18:32, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
The vandalistic edit inserting, Ayatollah Khomeini looks like Sean Connery lulz does not fall under Arab-Israel conflict imo, but I'm open to other views. In my opinion, if articles only receive the normal level and type of vandalism expected of any of our articles, they are not to be put under ARBPIA3-motivated ECP. The diff for Hamas Covenant was more convincing, and so I have put that article under ECP. Samsara 12:16, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

There's a better draft at Draft:Lil Pump (2), which has been in the AFC queue for some weeks now.

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Long-term protection requested because of persistent addition of material that isn't only unsourced and dubious but in many/most cases also pure fantasy, in an attempt to portray mediaeval Norway as a great empire that among other things "colonised North America" and "controlled the global slave trade". Since whoever is doing it is repeatedly adding the same material, and all edits use a similar writing style, I believe it's a single individual using many different IPs, but their persistence and IP-hopping makes it difficult for other editors to remove the BS without breaking the three-revert barrier... - Tom | Thomas.W talk 11:34, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection Procedural request for indefinite protection per WP:ARBPIA3#General Prohibition. The page, specifically that portion thereof relating to the 1967 war (although that's redundant, since virtually the whole text of the article relates to the war), has been edited several times in the past year by IPs and/or new accounts, in violation of the prohibition. (Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm stepping on toes by not posting this at AE or ARCA or somewhere else, but AE lists its functions as requesting enforcement against editors violating sanctions, or requesting page protection or the like where disruption is currently taking place, and I've seen the General Prohibition enforced by random wandering admins -- courtesy ping -- apparently as a result of them randomly happening to read something I wrote, so this seems okay...? If I am violating procedure in some way, could someone tell me where requests of this kind are normally supposed to be taken?) Hijiri 88 (やや) 00:19, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

  • @Ymblanter: No, it hasn't. A brand new account with it's very first edit has removed the image from the article yet again. Now they are trying to claim the image violates copyright, which is blatantly false. The image was taken by @Connormah:, a long time contributor and administrator here. He has contributed more than 500 images to Commons. This particular image is taken from this one that is part of his photostream on Flickr. Given his history here and metadata on the image and its derivative, it is blatantly obvious this is not a copyright violation. The person disrupting the article has refused to engage in discussion (see discussion, has variously claimed the image is some form of an attack by someone (Connor, supposedly) working for a competing political party, vulgar, lies about where the image was taken, and now is claiming it is a copyright violation. The person so motivated to attack this article has used two new accounts and an IP to try to edit war the image out of the article. Further, the person in question has made an implied legal threat which they have so far refused to retract [51], has been informed of our policy on paid editing and has refused to comply with our requirements under that policy (see warning) and has a conflict of interest in editing the article. The article must be protected to stop this disruption.

Pending-changes protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The case for indefinite semi is not particularly strong. There's been a moderate uptick in IP disruption due to the article temporarily being on the front page, but it's actually surprisingly sporadic, and certainly nothing that should merit a permanent blanket ban on any and all IP editing. I will note that the first IP edit I reviewed was the removal of unsourced information on a BLP. Not exactly something we should be rushing to suppress. Swarm 19:04, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Indefinitely banned user SchoolcraftT is again using IP-based sockpuppets to circumvent his ban. The article has been temporarily semi-protected twice in the past and he has returned each time. Can we get either long-term semi-protection or have it made indefinite?. Bitmapped (talk) 17:41, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

@Bitmapped: Can you say which IP addresses that have edited the article are SchoolcraftT, and how you can tell? To an outsider with no prior knowledge of the case it is not at all obvious. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:55, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
SchoolcraftT and his socks have historically tended to focus on this article and Mountain Parkway Byway, which already has semi-protection because of IP-based sockpuppetry. SchoolcraftT has a tendency to revert his own edits, generally without explanation, and his edits and comments frequently have spelling issues. I'm seeing these same behaviors with IPs 184.15.53.53 and 50.110.93.45 this month. I'm guessing that 184.15.173.170 also belongs to SchoolcraftT since it made the same URL updates as 184.15.53.53. All three IPs are from Frontier Communications, a phone company that provides DSL and dial-up Internet in West Virginia. I suspect the IPs are different because of use of dial-up Internet.

BU Rob13 - No one is making a point Rob, if his talkpage is locked then where is one meant to leave a message ? ... Exactly there is no place so his userpage is the next best place, If after his block he wants messages gone then he can remove them himself. –Davey2010Talk 20:23, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
You aren't meant to leave a message publicly. That's the point. Would you create an alternative article in response to protection of an article? No, that would be POINTy, as is this. Though, see Special:EmailUser if you want to do so privately. ~ Rob13Talk 20:29, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
If any article is protected .. you go to the talkpage don't you ? ... If an editors talkpage is locked then one has no other choice but to post on their userpage and hope they see it?, Yes EmailUser is great however due to privacy concerns I don't reply to any email under any circumstances (unless it's an admin) so again in my case I'm left with no other alternative here, I do agree with Ymblanter we should discuss this at AN/ANI, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:17, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection: IP ignoring frequent warnings that he is violating WP:GALLERY by dumping random images of the subject into a "Gallery" section in the article. Before calling this a content dispute and asking to seek talk page consensus, please read the linked guideline, specifically "However, Wikipedia is not an image repository. A gallery is not a tool to shoehorn images into an article...One rule of thumb to consider: if, due to its content, such a gallery would only lend itself to a title along the lines of "Gallery" or "Images of [insert article title]", as opposed to a more descriptive title, the gallery should either be revamped or moved to the Commons." Harambe Walks (talk) 14:02, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Declined After reading your request, I still think this should be discussed on the talk page before coming here. Page protection is generally seen as a last resort due to its likely impact on uninvolved editors and should only be employed in cases of obvious disruptive editing when lesser measures have either been attempted and failed, or common sense demands immediate action to prevent damage to the project... i.e. naked vandalism.
