Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs are persistently adding the names of BLP subjects who might become (but have not become) the team's head coach.

Maximiliano Korstanje

Semi-protection: Disruption and reversion of GF edits by anon editors. Ongoing issue, restarted as soon as prior protection expired, literally within minutes [8]. ☆ Bri (talk) 22:42, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Question: @Bri: Concerns were put forth about a 120K article so it was stubbed. The IP attempted to expand to a 8K article but was rebuffed. The "big cleanup/excision" has happened but how about letting the IP know what issues you have about the rewrite? NeilN talk to me 00:24, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
Sure, when I get back to a keyboard. Unless they have already been blocked for 3RR by then, which doesn't appear completely unlikely ☆ Bri (talk) 00:28, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
It looks like they were strongly urged by another editor to clear up some COI issues before editing further. It's probably best that that takes precedence. Those concerns include sourcing and other substantive things. ☆ Bri (talk) 00:57, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
There are other editors restoring the same content. None have discussed on talk:Maximiliano Korstanje nor wp:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Maximiliano Korstanje. Several have discussed/vented on my talk page: User talk:Jim1138#Maximiliano Korstanje even though I have requested them to discuss on the previous two (and now threatened to delete their edits on my talk). Editing the article appears to be some sort of class project. This is getting to be a considerable time sink. Jim1138 23:28, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

List of films broadcast by Nickelodeon

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IPs are removing sources, and adding titles that were determined not to be films (and lacked sources to show whether they were). After this article underwent a serious overhaul almost a couple of years ago, it continues to suffer from chronic disruptive editing by IPs attempting to restore what was there, leading to long semiprotection periods, which is why I'm thinking indefinite semiprotection is needed.

Drudge Report

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing against talk page consensus various IPs. (I am not watching this page, so please ping me if you want my attention.) --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 17:40, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Note: @DrFleischman: I do not see the RfC having the consensus that you seem to think it has. Numerically, there is as of this writing a 7v2 split against the inclusion of the disputed phrase, with one other leaning towards the 7 ("move to body or remove"). Samsara 18:00, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
Samsara, there may be a bit of confusion here. The RfC is about the words "far right," but the disruption is about the words "right wing." As indicated by the talk page discussion and in CFCF's edit summary, there is consensus (and no talk page dispute) that Drudge Report should be described as "right wing." --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:46, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection. He's a teenage actor on Stranger Things so he gets attacked by creeps on here just like he does in real life. The page is under pending changes protection but none of the tons of new and/or anonymous users' edits are ever approved because they're always vandalism. (Just look at the edit history since about November 11th.) The difference between pending and semi would only be that patrollers would no longer have to take time dealing with this junk; in terms of the page itself, there wouldn't be a difference at all.

Computer Science House

Long-term semi-protection. Since March, this page has been semiprotected three times (and, partly because of me, fully protected once) because of a dedicated, patient identity-hopper whose desire to slake an implacable vengeance has resulted in a slow burning edit war there for most of this year, attempting to add inflammatory text without sourcing. The edit violates WP:COI (because the editor is obviously a former resident), WP:RS (because Reddit? Come on), WP:BLP (because it baselessly and likely falsely accuses a group of living people of hazing), and WP:NPA (because they've repeatedly called those of us who've correctly reverted him vandals). And if there's a policy against lying, every edit summary of theirs that mentions a policy violates that because when someone reverts them for violating a policy, they restore it with a parroted, false accusation of violating that same policy. Those three semis were for two weeks, one month, and one month, and none have been effective. CityOfSilver 17:43, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Scuderia Ferrari

Semi-protection:Persistent reverting on Scuderia Ferrari's page by cherkash (talk) on something that hasn't made consensus. He has decided that the page must reflect the team instead of the constructor, while the other pages (Red Bull Racing, McLaren, Mercedes, etc.) reflect the constructors and not the teams.RafaelS1979 (talk) 22:52, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

RafaelS1979's description above is an incorrect recap of the circumstances. This person has not mentioned that it was them who engaged in a series of aggressive reverts, while effectively refusing to participate in an ongoing discussion on the subject (which is happening in several talk pages in parallel). Therefore, on the face of it, RafaelS1979's request is nothing more than an aggressive attempt to freeze the version of the page they prefer. Instead, the ongoing discussion among the editors should be allowed to run its course, without unnecessarily impeding anyone from making edits to the article in the meantime. cherkash (talk) 00:13, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

This is not a venue for discussion. This appears to be nothing but a good-faith request with the aim to stop the constant reverting on the article. Also, please read m:Wrong version.Tvx1 00:16, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
1) This is not a good-faith request. 2) Avoiding the whole m:Wrong version thing is exactly my point: the page needs no protection – let the debate run its course. cherkash (talk) 00:28, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Please, Cherkash, stop trying to play the victim here, it's not an aggressive attempt to freeze the version of the page we prefer, all other constructors pages are built on the same model, but somehow, you have decided that it must be different with Ferrari, and you're obsessed on making your point prevail, which is not open to discussion, because you think you're right and that we are wrong.RafaelS1979 (talk) 11:07, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Full-protected. This redirect got protected when the subject was in the news, but nine years on there's no reason why this should still be editable only by sysops. I haven't contacted the protecting admin as they have been inactive since October. – Uanfala (talk) 23:53, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Question: @Uanfala: What's wrong with the redirect? Samsara 10:49, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I don't think anything needs to be "wrong" with a redirect for a ridiculously high protection to be lifted, this is just not the wiki way, is it? But for an answer to your question, see WP:RFD#Josef Fritzl. – Uanfala (talk) 11:47, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Well, I guess that behind the question there is an assumption that redirects don't get edited. Well, they don't received a lot of attention, but there's still a lot that can happen to a redirect that need it to be editable: it can be R-categorised, refined to a more specific section of its target or retargeted entirely, nominated at RfD, turned into a disambiguation page, etc. – Uanfala (talk) 11:53, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing, edit-warring and persistent addition of unsourced WP:OR content, removal of text and sources. Since August, the page is being attacked by an IP vandal from New Hampshire, who is aggressively trying to push his marginal and unsourced point of view there (clearly assuming some nationalist bias and being at odds with the scholarly sources cited in this and other related articles) and remove everything that contradicts it, including references to modern scholarship ([13]). The page was protected twice after his attacks, yet after a few months of waiting he comes back again and again, attacking the page from different IP addresses starting with 2601:191:8402. As he cannot be blocked, ignores all warnings and doesn't start a discussion, the only solution is to protect the article. Californian Cat (talk) 07:38, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Samsara, I was incorrect in my dispute and I request that the temporary protection request be removed. I was unaware of the WP:Micronations and their definition of micronation. I am moving forward with identifying whether claims to micronations can be specifically noted as a claim that is not recognized or WP:verified. At first glance these articles appear to imaginary or non-notable cruft. On further investigation it appears there was previous discussion but no consensus on the approach for these articles.

Due to this renewed high level of IP vandalism, I am requesting a longer-time semi-protection for this page. Note: since Pyrrhus of Epirus is politically sensitive due to Albanian nationalism, IP vandalism is expected to last for years, and in that case, another temporary semi-protection of just few months isn't going to help.

Because of Chilicheese22's behaviour, the article is outdated since March 2017. He remove all mentions of Southern Transitional Council since months without argument : [14], [15], [16].

He continued his edit warring with various user. And he continued again since November. [17], [18].

Days after, he continued, [19]. The page have been protected for three days, but after the end, he continued.

Israel

Hello, I noticed that you were the administrator who placed the extended-confirmed protection on the article Israel, I am writing to request that the protection be downgraded to semi-protection because there are extended confirmed users who are abusing the protection on the article in order to prevent people from achieving a consensus through editing. As a result of this, the article has been filled with false information about Jerusalem being marked as the Israel capital. Since 6 December 2017, following the declaration from Donald J. Trump that the US would recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the 'internationally unrecognised' text has been removed next to the Israeli capital, however as the UN did not accept the move by Mr Trump, it remains internationally unrecognised.[1] As a result of this, I request a downgrade of the protection on this article. Thank You –GH (talk) 11:45, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

GippoHippo I am moving this discussion here, where it should be. I appreciate your asking me about this. Looking at the protection history, I think I only restored the ECP that was originally put there by KrakatoaKatie. She gave it ECP May 1, 2016. Due to an edit war, I changed it to Full Protection January 30, 2017 and changed it back to ECP three days later when the edit war seemed to have stopped. I defer to KrakatoaKatie's opinion on this one. — Maile (talk) 12:31, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
The EC protection is an ARBPIA3 enforcement, is mandated by ArbCom and cannot reasonably be rescinded without ArbCom feedback. Samsara 12:49, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Not unprotected Samsara 12:49, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
@Samsara: Fine, increase it to fully protected then, it would fulfil the same purpose.
@GippoHippo: ECP is used in very strict circumstances, such as BLP violations and continuous disruption while under semi protection. Another circumstance is when ArbCom protects it. Protection that has been imposed by ArbCom cannot be changed unless it's done/authorized by them. Anarchyte (work | talk) 13:02, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
@Anarchyte: This system is an absolute joke, the Arb didnt make the decision for the current protection, User:Maile66, therefore any suggestion to counter that is ludicrous. Either way, I'm not going to waste my time editing on Wikipedia, if there are going to be dumb rules in place in order to protect abuse of the system. Good Day to you (I am sure the press will have a field day with this). --GH (talk) 13:06, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
@GippoHippo: Maile66 did not impose the ECP. KrakatoaKatie did, and she did it with the summary of "WP:ARBPIA3", a motion by ArbCom. At the top Israel's talk page there is this notice: The article Israel, along with other articles relating to the Arab–Israeli conflict, is currently subject to active arbitration remedies resulting from three arbitration cases (see WP:ARBPIAINTRO). One of the active remedies is Editing restrictions for new editors: All IP editors, accounts with fewer than 500 edits, and accounts with less than 30 days tenure are prohibited from editing any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab–Israeli conflict.

Semi-protection: The article currently has pending changes protection. I think the protection should be increased to semi-protection, and it should remain protected for a long time.

It's a waste of everybody's time reverting all this vandalism. ChiveFungi (talk) 13:38, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

@ChiveFungi: There's only one revert per week, and that's not really enough to justify upgrading. PC1 is in place until August next year, so I don't see any changes being necessary. The reason we deploy pending changes on articles such as this one is that it allows everyone to participate without risk of serious BLP violations (non-autoconfirmed edits not visible to the general public), and we get to benefit from that 1 in 20 edits that makes a positive change. Since the subject is still alive, the article will need to be updated from time to time, and if that burden falls on the non-autoconfirmed editors, who additionally may become regular net positives, then I can't in good conscience upgrade the protection.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – slow, but continuous non-autoconfirmed disruptive editing, mostly the kind that would naturally occur at the target page of this redirect, (Wikipedia:Request an account) which has been semi'd indefinitely, since 2010.

Or just stop violating the core policy of NPOV! "He was a master prose stylist" IS NOT acceptable, ever, under any circumstances. "He was considered a master prose stylist" fully complies with NPOV policy. Why people would spend a year vandalising the article by removing that one word so that it violates NPOV, I do not know. 219.76.18.79 (talk) 08:19, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Long-term semi-protection. I came here regarding this page on December 2nd and it was semi-protected by User:Nakon for a week. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough.

Hello, On 3 pages mentioned above there is edit war going about winner of the show - Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2017. Reliable sources [2] , [3], say that there are 2 winners instead of one - Shreyan bhattacharya & Anjali Gaikwad. But editor Piyoush & multiple IP users constantly removing Anjali and projecting as if there was just one winner of the show. Editor Piyoush has been warned with blocking for removing Anjali but he again did the same. Right now you have semi protected these pages but just before that Anjali was removed hence need to revert to Anjali as winner. After correction, can these user-Piyoush & other IPs be barred from removing Anjali, permanently as this is going on forever? Thanks. Truegrit15 (talk) 19:24, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

There's been constant addition of vandalism and unsourced/poorly written content for the past 4 days or so.

Santa Ana winds

Pending changes protection: Consistent IP vandalism, plus bouts of disruptive edits by registered users who are new to the article. Every time the Santa Ana winds blow in Southern California, the IPs and newbies flock to this article to vandalize or do a complete rewrite out of thin air. Myself and a handful of other editors have long tended this article and repaired the damage from these seasonal bursts of vandalism and other less-than-helpful-or-well-informed edits. The article will go months without edits during the non-Santa Ana seasons, but always a flurry of bad edits as soon as these winds begin to blow: hence the Pending Changes Protection request rather than Semi-Protected. Darkest Tree Talk 00:03, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Question: @Darkest tree: There was a big rewrite by IPs in May. I do not see it being reverted, and it doesn't immediately strike me as having been bad. Can you comment on this? Thanks. Samsara 00:19, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Yes, happy to comment on that. While most of the edits by 24.61.220.85 were not "bad," I did actually go back in October and rescue some content that user removed (In the etymology section, specifically). I think it would have been better if these IP changes had been reviewed first. Also, that IP user seems to be the exception rather than the rule in terms of not making "bad" edits. To be clear, I am not attempting to embark down that slippery slope that would end with in argument for pending changes protection (at least) on every single article. I am only asking for it specifically on this article, because of all the articles I edit and of all those I regularly tend to, only this one has this consistent, seasonal pattern of lying dormant and then being hit with sudden vandalism and other edits that are (pardon the pun) driven by the winds that are the subject of this article. I'm also well aware that I don't "own" this article any more than any other editor—I'm just starting to feel like it's Groundhog Day with the editing pattern on this article and I'm volunteering to help fix that. Darkest Tree Talk 00:37, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Sorry for butting in if you were planning to come back to this, Samsara. This pattern - recurrent but not very frequent vandalism, combined with some constructive editing by IPs - seems well suited for PC protection. MelanieN (talk) 01:37, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
@MelanieN: I'm not sure it's such a good idea for longer IP-only editing sessions, especially when different IPs are involved - unless the review happens very swiftly. Hence my hesitation. Samsara 02:02, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
I'll withdraw it. You were here first. --MelanieN (talk) 02:04, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Not an easy situation, but I initially tended towards thinking that severity of the disruption was not particularly great relative to the possible loss of contributions that could occur by the display of the lock icon and/or slow accepting of good changes from rapidly contributing IP editors. I felt that this interpretation was confirmed by the above opinion that the changes were only partly flawed. So I've added the article to my watchlist - maybe if MelanieN does the same, we can manage any disruption that does occur by means of reverts and protections as may be needed in future. It's also probably worth thinking about whether the desire of new editors to restructure the article means that it could be more compellingly structured. I realise I'm in a somewhat privileged position of being offered a platform on which to make that remark without having to offer any specific suggestions - I actually have none at this time. But in my experience, thinking about why editors come and make certain changes can often help improve the article and reduce disruption. Samsara 03:22, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Lets set it to three months for now, and re-evaluate if it should be extended after it expires.

Unprotection: Per [edit] it seems like the vandalism was centered around the Army–Navy Game, which was [[32]] on Dec 9. We might be able to get away with decreasing level of protection. Frapsity (talk) 05:16, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

I judged edits starting on Nov 16 to be part of the current spree of disruption; therefore, I believe that unprotecting so soon would be rather optimistic. Samsara 13:06, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Based on the previous edit volume, could the article be unprotected in the next week? I don't see any historical reason to keep the article protected at the autoconfirmed level until January. I'd be willing to reprotect the article if disruption recurs. Nakon 03:43, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection: proactive semi-protection BLP for 2–3 days. Disclosed as the (new) test driver for The Grand Tour (TV series) one hour ago. Having watched the previous parallel fallout around Ben Collins (racing driver) (cf. The Stig, and BBC v HarperCollins Publishers Ltd), it might be useful to be proactive here. —Sladen (talk) 02:29, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Declined I don't see a single piece of vandalism in the entire history. If new information has recently come to light or the situation has changed, that's exactly when we don't want to semi-protect an article unnecessarily, as that's just when potential new editors are most likely to sign up wanting to help improve it. ‑ Iridescent 02:34, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Just to be clear what the gist of the discussion was - we're not about to put the entirety of the Middle East under 30/500 protection. Samsara 22:41, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 00:29, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Question: @Coffee: On the basis of which edits? Samsara 10:26, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
I wasn't aware that enforcement administrators needed to point to more than an Arbitration ruling for AE actions, which it appears is correct. WP:ARBPIA3 — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 14:03, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Per WP:ECP, Extended confirmed protection should not be used as a preemptive measure against disruption that has not yet occurred. Looking at Lebanon, I don't see a recent case for actually using it. The most recent conflict was a disagreement about Turkish/Ottoman, rather than PIA. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:18, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
@SarekOfVulcan: Arbitration Enforcement is not held to that standard. Hopefully you knew that before coming into this discussion... — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 12:33, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

Note: There is video evidence of her using the phrase, as well as a book that attributes the quote to her (you, on the other hand, have broken BLP in attacking the book author, it seems[38]). The reason the book source is no longer mentioned seems to be that you persistently removed it. Samsara 14:48, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
Small addendum: Seems there was a second book source that was also removed. It's my feeling that nothing but a very explicitly neutrally worded and sourced RfC will resolve this, w.r.t DUE rather than BLP. Samsara 15:03, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Template:Transcluded section

Indefinite template protection: I really didn't think that this template would see much use at the time I created it. At the moment, it is transcluded in 495 articles, some of which have very high page traffic, and 533 pages in total; moreover, some pages that use this template transclude it multiple times (e.g., there are 7 uses in the Adderall article, which has ~5400 pageviews/day). Consequently, it's really, really bad for the encyclopedia when someone stops by this template page and makes an edit like this one because it shows up in around 500 different articles and might not be reverted until 14 minutes later.

Arbitration enforcement, per WP:ARBPIA3's discretionary sanctions. Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement sanctions: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped." — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 15:12, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed: Arbitration enforcement – Part of the Arab-Israeli Conflict. Felicia (talk) 17:01, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Question: @Felicia777: As per recent discussions we've had about WP:ARBPIA3, can you point to disruptive, Arab-Israeli themed edits by non-extended confirmed users? Just to be clear what the gist of the discussion was - we're not about to put the entirety of the Middle East under 30/500 protection. Samsara 22:41, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 00:29, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Question: @Coffee: On the basis of which edits? Samsara 10:26, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
I wasn't aware that enforcement administrators needed to point to more than an Arbitration ruling for AE actions, which it appears is correct. WP:ARBPIA3 — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 14:03, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Per WP:ECP, Extended confirmed protection should not be used as a preemptive measure against disruption that has not yet occurred. Looking at Lebanon, I don't see a recent case for actually using it. The most recent conflict was a disagreement about Turkish/Ottoman, rather than PIA. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:18, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
@SarekOfVulcan: Arbitration Enforcement is not held to that standard. Hopefully you knew that before coming into this discussion... — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 12:33, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
@Coffee and SarekOfVulcan: This is a recurring issue. Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_page_protection/Archive_9#Mass_request_on_pages_related_to_Arab-Israeli_conflict(s), Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_page_protection/Archive_9#ARBPIA3_500/30 and links therein.

@Samsara: Can you point me to the part of the ruling that says that the scope of ARBPIA3 does not include this article, specifically? If not, I'll be archiving this. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 08:08, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
I'm sceptical that you've read all of that discussion and written a reply in just four minutes. I'd like to see a little more commitment from you in understanding the issues that might be involved. I'll reiterate my first comment, with variation: We can't just put the entirety of the Middle East under ECP. That would be highly unreasonable. We have to establish limits, and ArbCom members have, in the past, informally endorsed this view. If you would like us to go through WP:ARCA, I am happy to walk that road with you. Samsara 08:20, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
@Coffee: You've twice now archived this in apparent avoidance of scrutiny - can I at least get an acknowledgement that you are now aware of the above-linked discussions and their contents, and will consider the implications of protecting articles that have not yet seen any disruption in future? Thank you. Samsara 09:45, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

  • @Samsara: I get the feeling there is a high volume of involvement you have on this topic... which is very disconcerting. This action was done per WP:ARBPIA3, which is a ruling by the Arbitration Committee. I will therefore finally close this thread with the proper reminder used, since you seem to have your priorities backwards. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 15:12, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

There's a line for one of the notable residents, Lorne Armstrong, on this page. An unregistered user continually puts inappropriate, trolling content there about this individual. I have replaced the paragraph with something as neutral as I could make it, but this person repeatedly reverts back to the original, inappropriate content.

Noah Schnapp

Long-term semi-protection. Schnapp and Gaten Matarazzo are the only underage cast members of Stranger Things whose articles aren't semi-protected for at least the next several months. This article's edit history is a shambles because it gets pending edits constantly and every single one of them gets declined. For all intents and purposes, it's already semi-protected. Can we just make it official so the sorts of edits we pending patrollers revert manually, which I can't emphasize enough are almost all disgusting creepy stuff about a 13-year-old, just automatically get prevented in the first place? (I requested this last week and User:Steven Walling declined it because it's already pending protected until the 28th. This admin chose not to respond to my query on their talk.) CityOfSilver 15:21, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. As pending changes is handling the job, per the article history, I see no need to increase protection on this article currently. Repeat requests here for the same article are discouraged, especially in cases like this. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 15:30, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
@Coffee: I've seen the automated messages from Cyberbot so I did this knowing full well I was doing something discouraged. The concern last week is the same as it is now, and it'll be the same on the 28th when this article becomes a dumpster fire within hours (at most) of the protection's expiration. This is unofficially semi-protected. Pending changes protection is for articles that get a mixture of good and bad edits from new and/or anonymous users and this article doesn't come close. The job we're handling isn't ours; it's semi-protection's. I'd just like the site to automate what we're doing manually since whenever this shows up at the backlog, I know before I click that I'm getting rid of something implying incest, child marriage, molestation, and so on. CityOfSilver 15:48, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
If there was a higher level of RD2 necessity, I would gladly raise it. I do not see that though, upon review of the article history. - You must remember that while we are the most widely used encyclopedia in the world, we are also the flagship wiki of the world as well. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 16:02, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Padmavati (film)

Semi-protection. This Indian movie hasn't even been released and it's still the most controversial ever. The characteristic vandalism, which it gets almost daily, is an attempt to insult the production values by changing the budget to a lower number although this gets targeted in plenty of other ways too. Please see the ever-growing protection log; this isn't going away for a while. CityOfSilver 18:45, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Template:Annotated image 4

Indefinite semi-protection: From unprotected to indefinite semi-protection. I'm requesting that this template be indefinitely semi-protected on for the following reasons:

  1. This template is transcluded in over 140 articles, the daily pageviews of just 20 of those articles where it is transcluded exceeds 60,000 pageviews/day ([61][62]), and a number of those articles are indenfinitely semi-protected (e.g., amphetamine, MDMA, methamphetamine).
  2. The template uses very intricate template syntax.
  3. The number of page watchers for this template is very low (i.e., <30 – my guess is ~10) relative to the ~5,000 page watchers of the 20 aforementioned examples of high traffic articles where it is transcluded, so I'm concerned that a similar issue as described in Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive#Template:Transcluded section might occur with this template. In other words, vandalism to this template will likely appear in the articles where the template is transcluded for several minutes or longer before being reverted (NB: 60,000 pageviews/day translates to ~42 pageviews/minute in the aforementioned 20 articles alone).

I don't think that this template meets the criteria for indefinite template protection as specified in WP:High risk templates, so I'm only requesting semi-protection at the moment. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 21:20, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm the brand new account. Recently registered, long time IP editor. Volunteer Marek removed stable content sourced to WSJ, Politico, etc. without consensus now they're edit warring to preserve the change. No talk page discussion, just a nebulous "BLP" accusation. Now they're gaming page protection. Talk page discussion i.e. "consensus" is needed, not protection. TeddyToons (talk) 08:08, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

MDNA (album)

Temporary semi-protection. Yes, SnitchBot, I'm aware that a request for protection has been declined in the past eight days. This decline came yesterday via administrator User:Coffee, who stated that "No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time". A few minutes after the request was declined, the page's primary logged-in editor, User:IndianBio, hit three reverts in 24 hours. WP:3RR won't change the IP editor's habits since they can just swap identities around a block. Since PC1 isn't an excuse to violate 3RR, it's not enough to keep this person from contentiously editing. CityOfSilver 17:13, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Question: @CityOfSilver: 1. Do you care to explain why you've accepted all of these edits made by the IP, in the furthering of an edit war? 2. Can you explain why you're having discussions in the edit summary (in violation of WP:SUMMARYNO? — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 23:59, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
@Coffee: if I may add, SarekofVulcan asked in the talk page and I have explained the reason of why the IP's addition is not acceptable and why it is futile to explain the IP since it is keeping on changing its identity, resulting in multiple reversions going on. —IB [ Poke ] 04:15, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
@Coffee:
1. I didn't notice that there was an edit war until after I'd accepted the anonymous editor's changes, at which point I stopped and came here to request protection on User:IndianBio's behalf. Edit summaries should be compulsory; I obviously would have reverted the IP on sight (and been here a lot sooner) had IB taken the time. I was wrong not to check to see if there was a discussion anywhere, but an edit summary that said "hey, check the discussion" would've prevented that.
2. The summary on my most recent edit, which nobody's undone, was me explaining that I was removing that text because it seemed to take a guess at why someone would add that chart. WP:AGF says not to do that, especially if someone else unrelated to the IP-hopper came along and re-added it. It's strictly about the content, not part of a discussion. The other summary was for a dummy edit. If you're right about what SUMMARYNO advises against, it directly contradicts WP:DUMMY#Purposes, whose first bullet point explicitly permits me to use edit summaries to send messages that aren't major enough for a new thread on the talk page. CityOfSilver 17:53, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
So if I'm to understand you correctly, you're saying this log isn't accurate? That you only accepted their edit-war-furthering edits once, and then realized you weren't supposed to do that (even though the log shows you doing so three times within four days)? Why then didn't you correct/undo your first, second, and third PC1 approval? — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 20:00, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

I've thought this over a bit, and I've decided to reverse my call. Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which it will go back to being pending-changes-protected. I disagree that pending changes is "useless" – while it may not prevent disruptive edits in the same way that semi-protection does, it mitigates them by holding them back from the majority of public view, while still allowing good edits to move forward. I changed my decision after considering the recent release of The Last Jedi (a film the subject starred in) and the forthcoming holiday that has probably contributed to somewhat increased rates of disruption.

Temporary Semi-protection: Shortly after this article was unprotected, the High level of IP vandalism/warring by various IPs has started again. Longer semi-protection period may be needed. As per the other articles, some of the IP ranges have been accused of being the suspected (but unconfirmed) sockpuppet of Leon103102 in the past weeks and as of recent. 2001:8004:12C0:48CF:D4BD:E228:81C2:643B (talk) 05:02, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - As noted above, the continual rotating IPs both making the edits, reverting them, and making these requests is concerning. Further, edit summaries of "doesn't matter if it's correct or not" as a justification for a revert are improper and should not be utilized. A request for page protection is not meant to be a weapon utilized in a dispute, neither are administrators to be pawns. As one of the IPs just summarily reverts the other with the justification of being a sock-puppet without engaging in any form of discussion I am concerned that there is a personal component to this dispute beyond what is on the surface. To be frank, the continually rotating IPs and the IP making this request having no other edits do not aid in assessing this situation and only increase my skepticism and hesitancy to semi-protect the article.

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - Also, clearly something more is going on here considering many of the IPs that are making the edits and the ones making the reverts have little to no other edits outside this space and are being systematic in their edits/reverts. Further, the IP requesting this protection has no other edits, in sum it appears from a cursory glance that their are two people engaged in systematic behavior from rotating IPs and it may be the goal of one of them to lock the article to frustrate the other.

Mesh (band)

Reduction in protection level: Requesting unsalting. Article was deleted at AfD despite claims of notability raised in discussion. After the close of the AfD, the nominator deleted and salted the title himself (the title had been created previously, but there was no indication at AfD that salting was desired). Nominator/deleter/salter did not respond to request for unsalting. The band has had six charting albums in Germany (one as high as #12), plenty enough to hurdle WP:MUSIC; the German-language article notes as much, and is sourced ([66]). Chubbles (talk) 22:12, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Not done I think you have a good case for the article; however, the last decision on this article was deletion so it'd likely be eligible for G4 speedy deletion if you recreated it. So, my suggestion is to make a draft of it, and then post to WP:DRV to get consensus to have the article re-established. (You can also post to DRV without making a draft first, but I think it would help your case if people could see what you believe the article should look like). And to clarify about the timeline of what happened: it was closed at AFD in January, however, the salting didn't occur until November after it was recreated in September and November. only (talk) 13:22, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Second, why are you dismissing my concerns and only open to feedback from "another admin"? ElKevbo (talk) 04:27, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
I'm not 'dismissing' your concerns. You've voiced your opinion and it will be accorded due credit. I answered your enquiry politely on my talk page, and only an admin can take the decision to use his or her tools. I don't make many mistakes as an admin, but I've stated already several times, I've no objection to another admin taking a different view, and I'm always open to a review of my admin actions.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:06, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
@Coffee: I did read through the discussion on Kudpung's talk page, but given that the last disruptive IP edit was a few weeks ago, I felt there must be something else I was unaware of. Given that that does not seem to be the case, I have unprotected the page. Please note that I do not see the original protection as a "mistake", just as a different, reasonable, judgement call.

Dark Angels

Unprotection: This should be created as a redirect to the Detroit Dark Angels as their name is "Dark Angels" and they are from Detroit. This was protected in 2008 because it was about Rihanna's then unreleased 4th album. That album was released in 2009, as Rated R (Rihanna album), so there's no reason for this page to be protected any longer, as it no longer relates to Rihanna. The complementary non-capitalized dark angels points to the disambiguation page Dark Angel (disambiguation) without any problems needing to be salted or protection, nor any Rihanna based editing, since 2004. -- 70.52.11.217 (talk) 02:46, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

While there may no longer be a need to salt this title (the protecting Admin appears to be inactive), I am of more of a mind to either leave it is at is (uncreated) or redirect to Dark Angel (disambiguation) because looking through the deleted history there have been various articles that reference a "dark angel" or "dark angels". Further, as individuals searching the encyclopedia are likely to intermix "angel" and "angels" a disambiguation page would likely be best. Being that the non-capitalized version already redirects (and searching "Dark Angels" (capitalized) trips the existing redirect) I believe no action might be appropriate as creating differing redirects for each capitalization is likely to be clunky at best and confusing for users incoming from search engines at worst. Mifter (talk) 07:49, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
Redirecting it to the disambiguation page would also be satisfactory -- 70.52.11.217 (talk) 04:51, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
Nothing else on Dark Angel (disambiguation) could be referred to as "Dark Angels". This could be redirected with a hatnote as Detroit Dark Angels is the only article, or created as a separate disambiguation page (Dark Angels (Warhammer 40,000) redirects to a section of Space Marines (Warhammer 40,000); other entries could be a CN Lester album, a Peter O'Donnell short story, and a series of novels by Keri Arthur), but there's now no reason for protection. Peter James (talk) 20:01, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
I think that can be handled in the existing disambiguation page, since it already contains a pluralized entry -- 70.52.11.217 (talk) 04:53, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
I have redirected this to Dark Angel (disambiguation), as suggested by Mifter above. Any further discussion about the target can be had on the talk page. Vanamonde (talk) 13:00, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

University of Paris

Enhance protection level: This page has been vandalized several times during the past month. A anonymous user has deleted more than 10,000 characters a few days ago. It seems a behavior akin to POV pushing. I tried to recover the content manually, but have done only partially. The English page of University of Paris and all the thirteen universities that make part of it have become real battle grounds in the past months as some of its constituent universities aim to merge in the next few months/years. Some users seem to take advantage of the fact few editors of wikipedia in English can actually read the official sources, which are in French, and double-check the data. Most of the edits aim to convince international audiences that one of the universities is the main, only or real inheritor of the University of Paris, overlooking the existence of the other 12 members of the University of Paris. I am not an experienced user, I have tried my best to keep the page neutral but I do not know what to do. The same does not seem to occur in the French version of wikipedia, which has more watchdogs on these pages. Please, help.

The Great Mouse Detective

Indefinite move protection: Page-move vandalism by Bambifan101. The article has already been semi-protected from editing as a result of his vandalism, and there is no need to move this article as of now. He has also preformed page-move vandalism on Jessie (2011 TV series) and Sanjay and Craig. Note that Jessie has already been protected for 5 years. These articles have no reason to be moved, especially now that Jessie is at the correct title. Also, if you look in the edit filter log, you can see that he once again attempted page-move vandalism on Jessie, as well as page-move vandalism on Fun and Fancy Free. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkjj (talk • contribs) 07:21, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Judith Barsi

Indefinite full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – This article is a target of editors who appear to have an obsession with the subject. Portrait drawings of the subject in place of photographs have been added and the article has for years been the target of bizarre edits such as addition of details related to the subjects' parents that happened decades before the subject's birth, addition of low quality/unrecognizable photos of family members, microscopically detailed information of where the subject was discovered and ages of characters she played, details of a purported "legacy" the subject had, activities by fan club members regarding a grave marker, etc.

Currently an editor is re-adding a portrait drawing of the subject as well as adding the subject's middle name to all references within the article to the subject. AldezD (talk) 01:52, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Cristiano Ronaldo

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I hate to ask for protection on a talk page and realize it is rarely granted. However, unconfirmed and unregistered users have been flooding this page with requests to change "...widely considered one of the greatest players..." to "...the greatest player..." after Ronaldo claimed his most recent Ballon d'Or. Answering these is starting to resemble whack-a-mole as previously answered ones get re-activated. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 15:50, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. This seems to be the actions of one user and his logged out IP address.

Selena Gomez

Indefinite semi-protection: The article has twice been placed under 30-500 protection recently due to disruptive edits in violation of the WP:BLP policy from autoconfirmed users. When that protection ends, it automatically goes back to unprotected, but this article has had indefinite semiprotection going back to at least 2010. Given Gomez's high-profile status, it's unlikely the article will be unprotected for very long if the decision is to give IPs a chance to edit the article. And I don't know if this article should be placed under a longer-term 30-500 if it comes to that again (but may be brought up in another page protection request down the road). Anyway, the article was indefinitely semiprotected prior to the 30-500 protection being placed on it, and my request is to have that semiprotection restored.

University of Paris

University of Paris (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Some hours ago I have requested the protection of the University of Paris page (please, see talk page of the article), as there are constant POV pushing on that page. The page was protected. However, the version protected is the one with biased content and considerably smaller of the proper version of the article that dates from 18/12 (the POV pusher has deleted more than 10,000 words of data supported by official sources to defend his agenda). Therefore, the current - and protected - version of the article is the one to be avoided. One, after careful examination of the sources (which are also in French), should revert the page to how it was on the 18th December and protect it. Thank you. --Canyouhearmemajortom? (talk) 14:21, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

@Ymblanter: Paging the protecting admin. I'll say that ahead of their response, that whichever version it gets protected on will be the wrong one for one side or the other of a dispute. An admin will generally not move to a particular version unless there's a clear policy breach with one version. GedUK  15:59, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
The user already asked me at my talk page, and I said it would be inappropriate for me as a protecting admin to favor one or another version (with the exception of vandalism and BLP violations, which is not applicable here).--Ymblanter (talk) 16:34, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – An anon from the Netherlands doesn't like that WP:RSes and WP:CONSENSUS have depict he subject as "typically put[ting] on blackface make-up". Won't discuss on talk page aside from claiming that "blackface paint isn't for sale in the Netherlands". But "blackface paint" isn't sold anywhere. It's simply either make-up or shoe polish. Won't discuss, but wants to make it clear that this one editor wants the claim disputed. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:11, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Nader Shah

Temporary extended confirmed: – IP has initiated a classic WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS and WP:WAR event. 1) he insists on adding random books by Indian authors (?) to the article. 2) He randomly tags content. His own edit summary ("please explain how the work of the "greatest historian of his time and one of the greatest in the world of his time" is random.") should tell more about his WP:AGENDA. - LouisAragon (talk) 18:59, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed: Content dispute/edit warring – See the reviews made by the anonymous IPs here, here, here and here.

Reduction in protection level: Remove pending changes. I attempted to contact protecting admin about a year ago and nothing ever came of it.
