Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:30, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: This page has been semi-protected before but it has failed to stop consistent editing of people adding the claim that it is "Russian-owned", which is not cited and there is no consensus for. This is consistently added by IP's and non-registered users without any discussion. Last semi-protection was initiated on 9 December 2019. Helper201 (talk) 21:35, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 22:00, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. El_C 03:57, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Suarez9348 (talk) 11:20, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

- Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:26, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Full protection: Due to "Persistent long-term vandalism by anonymous users over many years," page was protected on 22 Sep 2019 to require autoconfirmed or confirmed access. However, with the Senate now foremost in the news, this page is being vandalized by users with such access. Please raise level of protection. NedFausa (talk) 20:09, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There was only one offending user and that person has been blocked. Until there is longer term or more frequent problems, the current protection level should suffice. Fuzheado | Talk 01:17, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Fuzheado: you missed one. There were two offending users. Today's vandalism began with this edit by User:Fullmetal2887, whom you have not blocked. NedFausa (talk) 01:55, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- @NedFausa: I stand by my edit, which was 100% factually correct. Fullmetal2887 (discuss me) 02:27, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Revision history shows that the content of Flyboyrob2112's vandalism was exactly the same as Fullmetal2887's, which the latter posted first. The only difference is that Flyboyrob2112 edit warred over these 3,976 bytes, whereas Fullmetal2887 did not. Yet administrator El C indefinitely blocked Flyboyrob2112 for disruptive editing, and did not block Fullmetal2887. I don't understand how Flyboyrob2112's edit warring is so much more disruptive than Fullmetal2887's original vandalism. Flyboyrob2112 legitimately earned a block. For the same offense, though, Fullmetal2887 is free to boast about publicly discrediting Wikipedia. Sure seems like a double standard. NedFausa (talk) 02:56, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Whereas to me, it sure seems like an assumption of bad faith on NedFausa's part. For the record, I was unaware of the edit warring, or there being another user making the same edits. Or what those edit were. I blocked for disruptive editing, as is clear from the block log, due to the continued usage of "go fuck yourself" in the edit summaries. El_C 03:30, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- @NedFausa: I've gone ahead and warned Fullmetal2887. As with El_C, I only saw the one user's disruptive content. Nevertheless, the fact that one other user was a problem does not warrant the total lockdown of an article which is a drastic measure we rarely take. The proper remedy would be to bring that particular user up for blocking, rather than fully protecting the article. - Fuzheado | Talk 08:16, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Suarez9348 (talk) 08:02, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Perhaps I'm missing something but there seems to be lots of IP editing that is not reverted and seem productive. Therefore, until the vandalism is explained/illustrated better, I don't see the urgency of semi-protecting this. Fuzheado | Talk 08:24, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – High frequency vandalism. HaeB (talk) 10:02, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Suarez9348 (talk) 07:53, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Since this is the first time we are semi-protecting it, we usually don't go with indefinite right away. Try for 1 month first and come back if there are more issues. Fuzheado | Talk 08:21, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Regular anonymous vandalism calling this comedian unfunny, spiking over the past few days. Lord Belbury (talk) 08:23, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It was previously long-term semi-protected for similar reasons, which justifies a 3 month semi-protection, if not more. Fuzheado | Talk 08:27, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

- Semi-protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 03:56, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: IP repeatedly changing text in the article to a title that does not match the article's title, and changing other things, based on a poor source. If these changes are to be made, this needs discussion on the talk page and better sourcing. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 04:48, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

02 February 2020
- Template:Cfl (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Template:Cfl full (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Semi-protection: Both these templates should have the same protection level as both are exactly the same risk, not one template protected and one unprotected. I suggest semiprotection as the right protection level. Original protection was made by Od Mishehu who is blocked. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 19:02, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Repeated vandalism from a varying IP address, always changing the list of songs to a different, made-up one, never with any comments or references to even try to justify it. This has been going on for over a year, though I only noticed recently. I'm not completely sure if semi-protection or 'pending changes' is more appropriate, so you can choose the latter if you want. Exallonyx (talk) 06:11, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Exallonyx: I can't understand the edits. Can you point out a couple of things in the most recent edit that are bogus and briefly explain how you know that? Can you do that for an old edit, say two months ago? Perhaps blocking Special:Contributions/2001:44B8:5153:3E00::/64 would work, but before blocking I would need evidence that the edits are obviously bad. Otherwise semi-protection for a month might do. Johnuniq (talk) 06:57, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Johnuniq: Sure, the most noticeable thing is that, in actuality, the song "Young and Beautiful" was #7 and "Lanterns" was #22 - but the person editing it keeps switching those 2 songs around, as well as replacing some lower songs with ones that weren't actually in the top 100 (for example "Oh Sailor", "When I Was Young" and "Blood on the Leaves"). You can see the correct list on the radio station's official site here, and also on this unofficial site that collates the annual lists here. This person (assuming it's just one person, and not a bot) has made this same set of changes many times, for example in November 2019, July 2019 and February 2019. It's pretty strange, I have no idea why someone would be so dedicated to this. Exallonyx (talk) 09:39, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Exallonyx: Strange. We have to proceed slowly and the page has never protected before, so I started with one month. That probably won't work. Please notify me if you see future problems and I'll take it further. It would be better if there were a short explanation politely setting out the facts on the article talk page. Johnuniq (talk) 00:51, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Question: How long were you seeking full protection for? Full protection is rare and, when it is, it's often used for a few days to up to a week (two tops) to let the talk page discussion play out.

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – An editor has, incorrectly, started an XfD for the above-captioned page at MfD because another extendedconfirmed editor is edit warring and reverting the redirect to an earlier state in which it was not a redirect. Nevertheless, as Robert McClenon and I pointed out at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Help:IPA/Saidi Arabic, RfD is, absolutely and completely, the proper venue. So, can an administrator kindly procedurally close the MfD, initiate an RfD, and then either page protect and/or block the extendedconfirmed edit warring editor until the conclusion of the XfD? Thanks. Doug Mehus T·C 01:45, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

- User(s) blocked. Sefarat90 partially blocked from the page for one week. Therefore, there is no need for protection at this time. I also closed the MfD (procedural close). An RfD nomination may now proceed. El_C 01:58, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
- El C, Nice...I didn't know you can apply page-specific blocks. That's very helpful, and a good approach. How common are page-specific blocks? I suppose in many cases, they don't work because the editor is vandalizing multiple pages, but when it's limited to a single page or two, I think it's a wonderful tool. Doug Mehus T·C 02:00, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Semi-protection: This page has seen persistent years-long vandalism by newly registered or IP users, and was semi-protected for much of 2019. User(s) appear to be watching this page over a very long timespan to systematically delete any WP:RS that mentions the existence of transgender identities. Often these are extremely simple summaries of strong perennial sources, totally blanked without explanation. The only attempts to find a WP:CONSENSUS that were ever made at Talk:Stone butch were made by frustrated content contributors who wanted to know why their reliable sources were getting persistently blanked. Honestly I strongly recommend keeping this page on lock down for a very long time -- the page history shows that this has been a site of edit warring for at least 6 years! It does however look like semi-protection works against this particular instance of vandalism, so I don't think anything stronger is needed at this time. - Astrophobe (talk) 20:42, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Well over half of recent edits are either vandalism, non-consensus edits, or reverts of those edits. The parent page, Periodic table, is semi-protected, so it seems reasonable to extend that protection to this template. I know that we don't usually use semi-protection on templates, but I don't think template protection is warranted here.

- Hello, I feel the need to object to this. I haven't edited Wikipedia on my own account for seven years, since once I'm logged in, I get invested. I do anonymously fix vandalism, formatting errors, and obvious POV-pushing anonymously when I see them. In this case, I noticed that User:Nableezy, who has been warned multiple times with regards to Israel-Palestine-related comments, was patrolling this page to ensure that his POV-pushing, factually inaccurate edits remained in. I decided it would be pointless to do anything about it myself, but pointed it out to a pro-Israel acquaintance, who decided to revert the edits. I told him that it would be reverted within 24 hours (slightly off, but not by much) since Nableezy has reverted several other anonymous users who previously fixed the same issue, but I did not anticipate that page protection would be requested by the rule-violating editor, much less that they would be granted.
- I don't personally care much about the I/P conflict, and it's people like Nableezy—long-term editors who exist mainly to promote an agenda and have found ways to abuse Wikipedia's rules and policies in pursuit of said agenda—who are the reason I stopped regularly editing Wikipedia in the first place. (They show up in the weirdest places, never face consequences, while they affected a small minority of pages I edited, the mental energy I spent dealing with them was too much.) I don't really want to get involved with a user like this now, but I'm always upset to see pages protected unnecessarily. As such, I feel compelled to suggest that helping a long-time user with a history of disruptive editing protect his POV-pushing, factually inaccurate edits is emphatically not what page protection is for. The problem here is very clearly Nableezy and not the anonymous users who keep reverting him. --2605:A601:AAEA:7200:3441:423D:F523:123B (talk) 06:04, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
- But the problem you bring up can't be solved via this page here. Pages which fall in the scope of ARBPIA are somewhat sensible, and prone to be protected at the slightest whiff of disruption. Try discussing with Nableezy and the protecting admin first, and for more grievances there is WP:ANI. Lectonar (talk) 07:27, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, I started to do that, and in the process of gathering evidence realized that there's a rule that says IP's and new accounts can't edit any article connected to the I/P conflict. User:Nableezy has referred to this rule obliquely, but it's clearly not one which anyone who is not an active user actively involved in I/P articles is going to know. The protection is all I cared about, and apparently it's policy, with this sort of thing being the entirely predictable result. --2605:A601:AAEA:7200:4463:B5A2:D219:C989 (talk) 08:53, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

- With a quick look at your userpage, it seems that you're definitely capable of making a well-written article that can go here. InvalidOS (talk) 13:07, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
- Right now it should be a redirect, because Bryant is mostly known as the author of the book and does not meet NPROF otherwise. But he is working on another book which will probably get attention and at that point it will make sense to create an article. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

- Ad Orientem, oh my only concern is that, typically, the original protecting admin has to be consulted to request unprotection. In your case, I don't see you hanging up your mop any time soon so it's probably fine. My concern otherwise is that sometimes (see my unprotection requests), the admins are desysopped due to inactivity, and it ties up unprotection requests. Also, sometimes, indefinite protection get forgotten about. But, you're a very active admin who isn't expected to retire...plus, it's not full protection either, so no strong concerns against indefinite protection. Doug Mehus T·C 01:15, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Reduce Protection to Semi-Protection The disruption seems to be caused by most unregistered users.Regice2020 (talk) 09:13, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Then pending changes, which is a lower level of protection, is the most appropriate level of protection. Semi-protection would also block non-autoconfirmed registered users. Protecting administrator MelanieN's decision to protect with pending changes, which allows rollback- and non-rollback permissioned editors to rollback non-confirmed edits, was, I think, the best outcome here. Let it play out the two weeks and, if semi-protection is warranted, then that can be considered. However, the way you've described it, this would be an increase of protection not needed. Doug Mehus T·C 16:47, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing – Per the discussion at autoconfirmed editor 5patrickgilles5's talk page, as well as my own talk page, I'm requesting temporary extended confirmed protection of this redirect to allow the consensus process at RfD to play out. The editor insists on creating an uncited bibliographic entry for this article name, which I've kindly explained Wikipedia is WP:NOTBIBLIOGRAPHY and that the correct place to incubate their article is at Draft:America is still the place. Since the editor is still not assuming good faith and adhering to WP:BRD, WP:ECP for a week or so is necessary. Doug Mehus T·C 22:21, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Initial diffs here and here (done separately because I don't have rollback privileges). After advising the editor to follow WP:BRD, the editor still insisted on adding back the bibliographic entry here. --Doug Mehus T·C 22:25, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I noted that the editor is also trying to do the [3] same at the I'm Charlie Walker redirect and that John from Idegon warned the editor via edit summary. Noting the COI warning the editor received from Marchjuly, I'm now thinking at least a temporary block may be in order for this editor and/or a removal of their "autoconfirmed" status. --Doug Mehus T·C 22:34, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Now the editor, while presumably in good faith, is casting aspersions and, incorrectly, attributing Marchjuly's earlier notification re: potential COI to being from me in this edit. Doug Mehus T·C 22:57, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
- Declined @Dmehus: This is too confusing for WP:RFPP and it is at ANI where any action should occur. It is unlikely that protection would be used to back one side in what boils down to a content dispute. It would be better if you did not raise so many issues with so many blue links—just focus on the article and why it should be protected. Johnuniq (talk) 06:53, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Johnuniq, Note: the decline is fine, but this wasn't a content dispute and that I wasn't involved. I was the disruptive editing-reverting editor, who undid the good-faith attempt to create a non-acceptable sub-stub. When the editor refused and persisted, the editor failed to follow WP:BRD and became disruptive, so, still not reporting him to ANI, I requested page protection here first to let the RfD that I established (since he had refused my offer to discuss at the talk page). Only after the aspersion casting on my and his talk page did I take him to ANI. He's been warned by myself, MarchJuly, John of Iregon, and administrator El C not to continue his disruptions.

- Comment I suspect maybe MelanieN "declined" protection because the disruptive editors were already blocked and perhaps forgot to use the "users blocked" template instead? From what I'm seeing, there's not enough disruptive activity for temporary page protection, particularly the proactive protection sought. MelanieN may, on the other hand, consider pending changes protection. I would be supportive of that. Doug Mehus T·C 01:39, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Unprotection: I'd like to fix this double redirect, and since the redirect was protected by Vassyana some 12 years ago, I don't think indefinite sysop-level protection is required anymore. Having said that, given the topical nature of the title of the redirect and its target, I do think it could be beneficial to downgrade protection to either of semi-protection or pending changes. I'm asking here because I noted that Vassyana appears to have been procedurally desysopped due to inactivity many years ago, and pinging them in case they wish to comment. Doug Mehus T·C 19:28, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I noticed that the History of early Christianity to which this redirect redirects in the double-redirect is not fully protected (it's not protected at all), neither is the end article page Early Christianity. Given that there has been no vandalism to that redirect, I'm inclined to think WP:AUTOCONFIRMED, at most WP:ECP, protection should be sufficient for both the history merge redirects. I'll update the WP:RfPP request. --Doug Mehus T·C 01:47, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Dmehus, the redirect has been fixed, I see. Should we consider this resolved? It may not need the full protection, but I don't see any benefit in reducing it either. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:06, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Muboshgu, Reducing the protection level to WP:ECP indefinitely would allow any extendedconfirmed editor to patrol the Special:BrokenRedirects and fix this without having to wait for an admin to respond in a day or two to the edit request. More importantly, though, due to priorities of admins, such broken redirects languish for months until such a request is made. And finally, I'd note that History of early Christianity, which is also maintained for WP:HISTMERGE purposes is unprotected with no vandalism. Thus, I think protecting one or both at WP:AUTOCONFIRMED or WP:ECP would provide the level of protection required. What do you think? Doug Mehus T·C 18:15, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Dmehus, the redirect has been fixed, I see. Should we consider this resolved? It may not need the full protection, but I don't see any benefit in reducing it either. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:06, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Extended confirmed protected I think that things change in 12 years and there's no reason not to lower the protection on this redirect to ECP. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:19, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Muboshgu Sounds good, I've added rcats {{R from merge}} and {{R with history}} to better identify this redirect's purpose. This should also allow the bots to fix the double-redirects, as I assume bots are at extendedconfirmed-equivalent level? And secondly, as the most recent administrator to alter protection, should future changes be warranted in another 12 years, should editors go to you first (assuming you haven't retired your mop)?

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – In the RfD deletion discussion for the redirect America is still the place, the two IP editors (one with an IPv6 address and the other with the IPv4 98.207.199.20 IP address) have been making the same, or substantially the same, comments as each other and which have largely been cross-posted from User talk:5patrickgilles5. All editors on the log page in question are at or above Autoconfirmed level, so there would be no disruption. Crucially, this would encourage 5patrickgilles5 to make comments and arguments using only one account. Doug Mehus T·C 23:17, 10 February 2020 (UT

Comment 5patrickgilles5 was editing both logged in and as an IP editor, until Dmehus explained the policy on that behavior, so 5p5 has been going back to their IP edits to include their account name in an attempt to rectify their mistake, that's why the comments are showing two signatures.

Hello. The current issue has been discussed in talk pages but issues still persist. There is still constant vandalism to this page and that’s why it was protected twice previously. This page should be protected indefinitely as there is regular IP vandalism present. If it were protected indefinitely it would cause far less disruptive edits and there would be less need to try and reason with IP vandals. Gilbert.JW (talk) 19:09, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Full-protection: High level of edit-warring beginning in the article. Note that a full prot had to be used on this article before; doing so appears to have been the only thing to get long-term editors to come to the table and sort out a compromise consensus. New edits are defying that consensus version (seen here), and there is very little reason to believe that it will stop with a single revert. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 05:11, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
- Declined for now. When this page was full-protected a month ago, it was because of an edit you were reverting which is essentially the same edit you are currently reverting. The current RfC is quickly leaning into a WP:SNOW close in favour of that edit, and besides we've already tried protection and I don't see how doing the same thing again is supposed to help. I can think of something that will, though. Do you see where I'm going with this? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:47, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: The core content of the parent templates has been split into these subpages since the parents were indefinitely semi-protected, rendering the protection less effective. The templates are used to provide navigation links in hundreds of pages, including International Phonetic Alphabet and International Phonetic Alphabet chart, which receive thousands of pageviews every day. This has resulted in inexperienced editors, though in good faith they may be, experimenting with the tables without realizing the disruptive consequences they have on these pages.

I also would like to bring up sock puppets. If they create a sock puppet, who does good things until their auto-conformed, they can also go nuts.

- Comment:: Actually, it has been semi-protected since 2009 because it has always been a magnet for vandalism, and had required a significant number of semi-protections in the years before then. For a short period, it was flipped over to pending changes but most edits were vandalism, which showed it was not a suitable candidate for PC. It would need to be watched very closely if unprotected.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Suggesting indefinite semi-protection. Pending changes was applied to this page in July 2019, but since then there have been lots of vandalism reverts and only a number of constructive IP edits (6-7 if I counted correctly). Looking through the protection log, the vandalism has continued after multiple protections, so I doubt it would stop when protection expires.

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. This article has gotten to a high enough quality (mostly due to my extensive edits based on the completely reliable sources) and now some IP vandalism is persistently taking place because somebody tries to rewrite some things their way without providing any references. These IP addresses constantly changes, however the edits are the same, so they are clearly performed by the same person. He simply ignored what I tried to tell him and continues edits war. Furthermore, I think this article is of a high importance to gain constant protection like Lithuania because Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania, which is member of the European Union, and 1000+ people reads this article everyday, so random edits and IP vandalism shouldn't be possible. I would suggest allowing only the registered Wikipedia users with some experience to make edits in this article content. -- Pofka (talk) 19:45, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Resumption of recurring problematic editing (see [11]. This is a recurring issue dating back to 2018. An IP hopping editor with a Telecom Italia IP address shows up from time to time and starts deleting sourced financial information from film articles. It has reached obsessive levels on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" articles. I really think we need to consider a permanent solution because the editor simply isn't going away.

Indefinite move protection: Occasional but regular move attempts to "Kyiv Metro" without discussion (even by veteran admin User:JzG recently) for the past decade, ignoring the highly political nature of any move from "Kiev" to "Kyiv". -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 02:12, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Sameboat - 同舟: Is there a link to a discussion showing a strong consensus for the current title? I just had a quick skim of talk and archives and cannot see anything. If not, move protection would have to be declined. Perhaps there is a discussion about Kiev? Johnuniq (talk) 04:29, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Johnuniq: This is the link. The name is not a trademark, hence the article can only be renamed if the article on the city is renamed.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:45, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Ymblanter: Thanks but I would like to see a link to the actual moratorium discussion. That notice at the top of Talk:Kiev (at the bottom of the talk header) includes "may be read here and here" but the two here links are broken and a quick search of the archives does not find them. I'm not in the mood to dig more at the moment but if this is still here much later I'll look again, fix the links at Talk:Kiev and indefinitely move protect Kiev Metro with an edit summary pointing to the moratorium. Johnuniq (talk) 08:53, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- Johnuniq, the lead spelled it Kyiv, so was at odds witht he article title, so I moved it. That's the preferred transliteration now. Kiev is preferred by Russians, Kyiv by Ukrainians. Kiev was prefrerred by the previous pro-Russian regime, but, as we heard in testimony before Congress, Kyiv is what's currently in use by diplomats (who are careful about such things). This explains it well. See also Pune, Kolkata, Mumbai. Transliterations with overtones of imperial occupation are not popular these days. Guy (help!) 08:59, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- I am sorry to mention this again but explicit concensus resulting from an rfc was that the current spelling is Kiev. I will post here a ref when I am back to my computer.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:21, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Johnuniq: @JzG: This is the discussion--Ymblanter (talk) 15:02, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- Ymblanter, le sigh, classic Wikipedia: much digging in of heels.
- The BBC changed in May 2019. WaPo appears to have changed last year too (though their search is rather borked). NYT as well. And The Times. FT changed in September last. Ukraine embassy and tourist board both use Kyiv. I'm struggling to find any mainstream source in English that still uses Kiev.
- Regardless, I moved it because the lead spelled it Kyiv, which did not surprise me as I am well aware that the Russian transliteration is no longer preferred, especially given the ongoing invasion.
- I note in passing that it's also easy to find sources that call the country "The Ukraine", also considered a Russian imperialist imposition. Thankfully we don't do that. Guy (help!) 15:24, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- I try to keep a low profile here, because whatever happens I always get accused in being a Russian imperialist, solely on the basis of what my mothertongue is (and actually get such accusations on a weekly basis), but these arguments indeed were considered at the RfC, mainly by the native English speakers, and did not get a majority.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:41, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

- Declined @TJMSmith: Sorry but it looks like a content disagreement rather than vandalism. The talk page has had no substantive edit since 2011. If there is a discussion somewhere showing that Category:American male deaf actors should apply, please link to it in a new section on article talk and try to engage the IP in discussion about the issue. I know the article says he was born deaf and is an actor, but if it's so clear, there should be a discussion with an explanation before long-term protection.

I have restored the redirect which was created since the 2014 deletion discussion and existed for five years; the last time it was overwritten with an article it should have been reverted to a redirect rather than the page deleted. The redirect is extended-confirmed protected indefinitely so as to enforce the previous creation protection.

Permanent semi-protection.

Semi-protection: Long term edit warring by IPs (probable socks of User:Swissair123 / User:EGCC123). Trying to insert info into the lead of Manchester, but using unreliable sources for it, ranging from blogs to (now) sources which are about Glasgow and contradict the point they try to make[16]. This was noted at the talk page (Talk:Manchester#Recent changes to the lead section), but not replied to, and gets blindly reinserted. Discussion is happening at Talk:Birmingham#Discussion happening in the article for Manchester. IP edits are getting more heated as well (edit summaries in full caps, heated statements like "Wikipedia Editors, is this your way of forcing through your own agendas and pretending to not have a bias to the general public? If it is, then that is shameful."), but so far not blockworthy (if they aren't a sock that is). Semi-protecting the articles (probably best to semi-protect Birmingham as well, edit war going on there too, with the IP removing sourced statements[17]).

- @MER-C: and David Gerard this editor M1h4jl0m1 is adding affiliate links (or could we worse) to BitMEX. Obvious violation. Probably related to the earlier IP address edits that I reverted a few days earlier on BitMEX as well. There is a risk that this type of url hijacking could occur on other cryptocurrency exchange articles as well, with a low risk being simply a affiliate signup link. But a higher risk could later be a spoof website design to steal login details. Something we need to be on the lookout for. Pinging you on this RPP just as a heads up. Thanks!

Semi-protection: High level of IP and puppet vandalism. In October 2019, the blocked user User:Эльбрус Казбекович, using his sockpuppet User:Matianian, inserted false claims dif. Matianian was blocked ofcourse, but then he kept coming back to the page to insert the exact same paragraph over and over again. He uses different IPs, so no point of sockpuppet investigation as he always edit using new IP.
Examples: dif 1, dif 2, dif 3, dif 4, and dif 5
The page was protected by User:Muboshgu for a week in 27 January, but the user came back the same day the protection ended!!! So Muboshgu protected the page again for two weeks in 4 February, and again, the user came back today to insert the same text here!!! So persistent... I hope the page can be protected for a long period since it seems that the blocked user will never give up with a week or two protection periods.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 20:14, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Unprotected: Semi-protected about 10 years ago by User:PMDrive1061 who hasn't been active since 2014 for Persistent vandalism – I think edits by IPs should be ok. I just wanted to change "Aladdin 2..." as the alternate name to "Aladdin and the Return of Jafar" per IMDB or "Aladdin: The Return of Jafar" per Disney's official list as Aladdin 2 is currently being used to refer to the potential live-action sequel to the 2019 Aladdin.

- The levels of disruption here are very high, and the article is in the news. I have therefore semi-protected this for 24 hours, despite being involved, per WP:IAR. I would greatly appreciate another administrator reviewing this action, and modifying it in any way they feel to be necessary. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:28, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

- The risk of distruptive editing are very high, so while is acceptable to semi-protected in 24 hours it is not sufficient to have only for 24 hours. IMO, any article that have very high attention should have semi-protected at least 1 week. If this article was unprotected in next 24 hours many IP users return to disrupt the editing and vandalize the content. So maybe enforce the arbitration sanctions where written about India/Pakistan/Afghanistan to this article. 180.242.51.208 (talk) 16:39, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

- Comment This is partially my fault, as the editor in question brought an additional source covering the subject and asked me if it was enough to establish notability. I didn't have time to assess it in the context of the other coverage available, so I suggested that they add it to the article and boldly recreate it on the grounds that the new source may have been a sufficient improvement over the AfD.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There are on-going problems with IPs removing information from the article, lasting two+ years. The edit summaries include accusations that information could have been added by the two authors of the book in question (it was not, as I'm not affiliated with the autors, the University of Utah, nor Oxford University Press). The first one is a static IP that is located 20 miles from the company HQ is Atglen PA: Special:Contributions/96.83.215.201, suggesting a COI. The latest is a dynamic IP, also from Pennsylvania: Special:Contributions/73.165.26.73. They have been reverted by multiple editors, but the removals continue.

- I added Template:PolParsEstCatDecade (27 transclusions) to this request as it needs the same response. Johnuniq (talk) 02:25, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Johnuniq, Thanks for adding that. I came here to add it myself, but you beat me too it.
- I regard cat headers as a special vulnerability, because if they are screwed up, then the categories break. I have made several other similar requests in the last few days, for cat header templates, and hey have all been approved.

Temporary semi-protection. Previously protected, we are now seeing the return of an IP hopping vandal who is making edits such as this to this BLP. A great many of these edits have been suppressed previously. See extensive log to that effect. Last protection for this was for a week. Recommending something longer this time. --Hammersoft (talk) 22:35, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- User(s) blocked. Widr (talk) 23:04, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Widr: Users being blocked isn't sufficient. That's why I'm asking for the protection. The person in question is in a dynamic host pool, and is dancing across IPs. To date, they have used at least 9 different IP addresses to conduct this vandalism. This was previously protected for the same reason [34]. If the article isn't protected, the person will very possibly be back within the next day doing the same grossly abusive BLP violations on the article. --Hammersoft (talk) 02:10, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
