Drukpa Kagyu: Conversion by Karma Kagyu

Reason: I have carefully read the citations and corrected this section to reflect reality/facts and actual quotes. The previous text was so misleading I feel concerned that professional apologists may attempt to revert to the previous inaccuracies/propaganda. I will try to remember to pay attention, but have no interest in getting into an editing war. Please do what you can to protect the accurate representation of facts here. Thanks very much!

This article suggests that a fictional storyline had been portrayed in the film. This is not at all true the film is not fictional and is about the ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Kashmir by mulim extremists and separatists.

The Kashmir Files

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because .....

This description hurts the sentiment of the panit community and downplays the atrocities laid on them. The description should be changed to at least something neutral. However in the opinion of a hindu this is a genocide and history must remember it as one

The protection is intentionality put so that only one view of entire situation is read by all. This was a very notorious move on the part of the writer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.161.98.254 (talk) 04:34, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Lucifer Valentine

Hello, I am requesting protection of the Lucifer Valentine page be removed. It has been barred from editing for almost 11 years. I made a case on the talk page, which I will copy here. I am requesting recreation as Lucifer Valentine has received significant media attention since this page was locked in 2011. He has made many new movies, committed crimes, and been given awards. Additionally, with the way this is set up, we would have to make several pages for each individual movie that all include information on him, rather than have 1 page that discusses him connected to the several movie pages. He was also in a documentary called Beyond Horror: The History and Sub-Culture of Red Films in 2019 which means he meets notability guidelines. He's also mentioned here , here and here . If he's notable enough to have a Fandago page and sell his 2015 movie (not in the Vomit Dolls triology) at Booksamillion, I'm sure he is notable enough for Wikipedia. He also has over 19 film credits now. Lucifer Valentine is a widely discussed topic on social media, has several film nominations, has been featured in documentaries, and there is extensive content on him Wikipedia would be able to cover. This would make it much more user-friendly for all of his movie pages and provide reliable information on a highly sought after topic. Perhaps he was not as notable in 2011 when this page was locked, but there is a case to be made for his notability now. CherriGasoline (talk) 04:16, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

@ReaderofthePack: Pinging the protecting administrator ReaderofthePack. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 11:08, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
  • I don't mind, but I highly suggest making a draft first and making sure that he passes notability guidelines. Keep in mind that having a Fandango page doesn't necessarily mean that someone is notable. Also, part of the issue here was that he was predominantly known for his Vomit Dolls trilogy, so the big emphasis here would be showing how he's notable for more than just that series. There are some self-published sources like blogs and so on that cover him, but coverage in places that Wikipedia would see as both reliable and notability giving are pretty slim. Some tend to focus on the Vomit Dolls trilogy or discuss his films as part of one ongoing series. Now that said, I do see coverage here and here, as well as at Ginger Nuts of Horror, which is good. But again, you need to establish how he's notable apart from his Vomit Dolls work. I highly recommend creating a draft before moving anything live and getting one of us to look it over - I don't mind taking a look. The page was deleted in the past so there's more chance that someone will try to renominate it unless it passes notability guidelines per WP:NBIO and has strong sourcing. There's a brochure on creating biography articles here that would definitely help with that. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 12:16, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
@CherriGasoline. ReaderofthePack has given you advice, essentially to create a draft of your proposed article - you can use WP:AFC for this. Can we close this now? Malcolmxl5 (talk) 09:44, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

The Kashmir Files presents a factual story of genocide of a Kashmiri Hindus starting on 19.Jan.1990 The genocide is real and I am a Kashmiri Pandit Hindu and a testimony to that. Stating that it is a fiction and a notion is like stating that Hitler's atrocities were a fiction and only a notion. Please correct the below text

The film presents a fictional storyline[1][6] centered around an exodus of Kashmiri Hindus in the disputed region of Kashmir.[7][8] It depicts the early 1990s exodus[9] to be a genocide,[15] a notion that is widely considered inaccurate and associated with conspiracy theories.[16] 2402:4CC0:228:257:B08D:59B5:E840:14EB (talk) 11:53, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Salad Fingers

Temporary semi-protection: The subject of the recently-deleted article "David Firth," who is the creator of "Salad Fingers," took to Twitter to decry his article's deletion ([seen here]). It might be worth protectiong this article as a preventive measure. ThadeusOfNazerethTalk to Me! 03:25, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I see no recent disruptive editing that requires semi-protection at this time. -- LuK3 (Talk) 12:03, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

David Firth

Reason: David Firth, who used to have an article on Wikipedia, has launched a Twitter campaign to retain his article for, what seems like, promotional purposes. The onslaught of angry followers has already begun (diff, diff, diff) and I'm sure there will be multiple attempts to re-create an article that won't be up to Wikipedia's notability standards. David Firth (animator) might need to be protected as well.

His tweets currently have tens of thousands of likes, so immediate administrator attention is certainly required, even if the pages won't be protected. Throast (talk | contribs) 07:54, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Position conflict. I cited a source backing it up 68.234.69.27 (talk) 06:12, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

 Comment: This IP has filed multiple unsuccessful protection requests relating to either edit warring or reliable sources. @68.234.69.27: Remember, do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. This applies to both you and the other user, Hunterb212. Most likely your request will be declined. Both you and Hunter have been partially blocked by the same admin for edit warring. For this reason, RfPP is NOT the right place to stop edit warring. Please reach consensus using talk pages with the other user. Hunter tried to cooperate with you, but you are unwilling to do so by blanking the section. If you accuse me of lying, don't, because it will be in the page history for good unless an oversighter or admin removes a revision from view. I realized it's a slightly different IP for the diff (68.234.69.28), but both IPs have the same ISP. — B. L. I. R. 07:37, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Reason: The protection is put on the page just so no one can correct the wrong things written in it. The person whoever wrote the introduction tries to disregard the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus which occured in early 1990s.

Reason: The protection is put on the page just so no one can correct the wrong things written in it. The person whoever wrote the introduction tries to disregard the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus which occured in early 1990s.

The Kashmir Files is based upon true incidents which occurred in 1990s in which an estimated of 4,000 Kashmiri Pandits were brutally murdered by terrorist Islamist groups in Kashmir.

The film portrays what has actually happened in Kashmir during that time and how media, government and all the important institutions downplayed the whole thing.

Template:Victorian rolling stock

Reason: User Murina77 keeps removing content from the page under the WP:WRITEITFIRST, effectively deleting content from the encyclopedia. Even if the page (even after I have removed the visible redlinks) doesn't currently exist, noting that the item of rolling stock once existed surely is what this encyclopedia is all about. This is one of the only complete lists of rolling stock from Victoria, Australia. Most other Australian railway related navigational boxes contain redlinks, as they are a work in progress, containing either rollingstock, stations, or train lines that are still redlinks. There are even navigational boxes that contain list of towns found is a specific area, that have redlinks. People haven't either had the time to get around to writing the article yet, or are in the process of trying to find a reliable source to make a worthwhile page and not just an empty stub. -- ThylacineHunter (talk) 13:41, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

@Bbb23: Thank you for your response! I understand that usually the policy is not to protect pages pre-emptively, but as per consensus agreed upon here it seems that there is an exception to the rule as the conclusion of that discussion clearly states that:
"Per a request at WP:ANRFC, this discussion is closed with a consensus that users be allowed to preemptively protect pages in their user and user talk namespaces, but not their actual user talk page. -"
I am requesting that my user page (not my user talk page) as the consensus says, be protected due to high likelihood of future vandalism.

The Kashmir Files

The points stated in the article seem to be of one particular individual/group and risen from opinions and not facts. It is therefore requested that Wikipedia shows what is in the film and not what the creator(s) of the film want/intend since we are dealing with facts and topics and the current article seems to be more interested in the intention of the movie makers rather than the movie itself, making it a propaganda article which it claims for the movie to be/spread.

Whereas from the below references it can be clearly understood that the movie/documentary was based on evidence and interview(s) with both the affected and local muslim population and is an attempt to bring out the truth and awareness in public domain, not to spread hatred but to address the needed and the happenings and their making.

British protectorate

Reason: I would like to request that the British protectorate page be semi-protected for a period a six months, since a particular user keeps vandalizing the page to remove Afghanistan from the list of British protectorates. I have repeatedly provided multiple sources for the same inclusion of Afghanistan, as have other users, and yet the user Noorullah keeps changing and editing the article to remove Afghanistan without any valid reason. All the sources, both primary and secondary sources, and all the academic consensus is on the fact that Afghanistan was a British protectorate.

Kashmir Files is a movie based upon true events that were suffered by the Kashmiri Pandit community resulting in the massacre and their exodus from the valley. Kashmir was initially a literary place for the Hindus, and had the famous Sharda peeth which was a University, where Hindus from across the Indian subcontinent came to study and graduated themselves as Pandits. Over several centuries, the Hindu community in the valley were religiously persecuted and massacred. The events of 1989 were the 7th exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley.

And I’m sorry if this messes up the format, but I want to add that I think this anonymous vandal found a way to change their IP address because I mentioned that it was the same vandal as before when I undid their removal of Japan for the second time.

Indefinite full protection

Reason: Previous denied on (in my view) incorrect grounds, I'll include the text I posted in a comment in the archived version:
@Bbb23: Thank you for your response! I understand that usually the policy is not to protect pages pre-emptively, but as per consensus agreed upon here it seems that there is an exception to the rule as the conclusion of that discussion clearly states that: "Per a request at WP:ANRFC, this discussion is closed with a consensus that users be allowed to preemptively protect pages in their user and user talk namespaces, but not their actual user talk page. -" I am requesting that my user page (not my user talk page) as the consensus says, be protected due to high likelihood of future vandalism. Thanks for your time and efforts. Also, please {{Ping}} if/when you respond so that I'm notified, I have the worst ADHD and I forget stuff like this exists, especially when I'm editing a lot.
From my previous request. The reason I'm making a new request is of course because you're technically not supposed to edit archives and they might not respond. Hence my re-request, thanks for your time. ★Ama TALK CONTRIBS 23:25, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Note: . Our protection policy says quite clearly: User pages and subpages within their own user space may be protected upon a request from the user, as long as a need exists. Pages within the user space should not be automatically or pre-emptively protected without good reason or cause. (bolding is my emphasis). Looking at the history of the page, I do not see that "a need exists" nor that there is "good reason or cause" for protection. The page is already protected by an edit filter to the same level as semi-protection and I do not consider that full protection is needed at this time. I am inclined to decline this request. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 02:05, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
Note: Just noting that I agree with Malcolmxl5 that this should be declined. Absent some extenuating circumstances (such as persistent abuse from confirmed socks) user pages aren't fully protected. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:37, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

I don’t know how to sign this comment with my username, but this is VictimOfEntropy and I’m adding that I think this page needs to be permanently protected in that way that prevents IPs from editing a page, because this vandal switches their IP address constantly, so blocking them wouldn’t work, and they’re persistent, and they’ve shown that they’ll wait for months, obviously constantly watching for anyone to undo the ways in which they’ve falsely presented the information from the HDI study/studies, and there doesn’t seem to be any users watching the page except for me. I didn’t think that I’d need to add this page to my watchlist when I undid this anonymous person’s vandalism the first time, and I wouldn’t have caught it the second time if I hadn’t happened to go back to that page. Please help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VictimOfEntropy (talk • contribs) 16:50, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Move protection: A user is mistakenly believing that the title stylization is the actual title, when even a Deadline article published this morning calls it The Expendables 4.

If this is about the Reed Richards and Black Bolt edits, that was footage leaked on Twitter, John Krasinski and Anson Mount are literally in the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness film as those characters, that is very real.

There literally say "The Next Expendables Is Officially Called Expend4bles" and "The Expendables 4 Gets A Title That’s Not Actually Expendables 4". That is how it works all the time, like with 2 Fast 2 Furious, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood, Pokémon 4Ever, it goes on and on. BarrySteakfries (talk) 17:39, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
Did Universal say that it's officially titled Expend4bles, or did the article writers make assumptions? Because right now you're making a false equivalency, because each of those examples substitute an actual word in the title, like "To" and "For", making them actually nothing alike CreecregofLife (talk) 17:41, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

The talk page of the article is not protected; why not ask there politely instead of demanding the rights to edit the page? Especially as this seems to be framed under one of two discretionary sanctions regimes, either one of which is a complete nightmare on an average day and doesn't need more firebrands. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 09:41, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
Declined This page is indefinitely protected because it falls under a special subject area (post-1978 Iranian politics) that attracts a lot of controversy and disputes. Therefore, it is unlikely to be unprotected anytime soon. If you'd like to edit this article, you need to become extended-confirmed, which mean you must have a registered account that is at least 30 days old, and has made at least 500 edits. Otherwise, if you'd like to influence this article, my advice would be to start a discussion on the article's talk page, clearly laying out which sentences you believe are problematic, what you'd propose to change (i.e. would you just delete those sentences altogether, or replace them with alternate sentences?), along with any sources required to back up your position. Note that both sentences that you're contesting are referenced to a source, although that source is behind a paywall so I can't see it. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 17:22, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated reinstatement of excessive, trivial content by confrontational IP editors. ViperSnake151  Talk  22:07, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Josh Phillips (murderer)

Reason: Repeated vandalism from multiple IP addresses targeting specific editor. For many years there has been a lone editor, operating from multiple IP addresses, who attempts to remove the fact the victim's mother states the victim and the subject of the article were friends prior to the murder. This is well sourced, and I do not understand why the IP editor has a problem with it. However, since I keep reverting their unexplained removal of referenced content, the IP editor now repeatedly vandalizes the article to place my name in the text. While these edits are not constant, it's disturbing that someone is deliberately publicly attacking me, and an IP block will be insufficient as they operate from multiple addresses. I am therefore requesting indefinite protection of the page to stop personal attacks. I feel this would be a good idea in general anyway as the page has previously been temporarily protected multiple times to protect from vandalism, which has been ongoing for years now.

Template:North Atlantic Treaty Organization

Reason: this template was protected for being highly visible. However, only template editors and administrators can edit it, which I find excessive. Navboxes of several other organizations such as Template:European Union topics or Template:United Nations do not have such a high level of protection, so I am requesting this template's protection to be reduced so that extended confirmed users can edit it. I apologize by the way if this is not the correct place to request decrease in protection for templates, redirect me to the correct place if so. Super Ψ Dro 20:14, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

@Cyp since you protected the template. I don't see a reason for more than semi-protection. Galobtter (pingó mió) 21:15, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
I lean towards keeping protection as is but could be persuaded for lower. While it's not "highly visible" in terms of transclusion count, it's used on some of our most viewed articles. It got protected following some particularly bad vandalism that I won't get into for WP:BEANS reasons, but suffice to say that vandalism to it is probably on par with more widely used templates in terms of scale. @Galobtter: thoughts? — Wug·a·po·des​ 02:07, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
@Wugapodes I think ECP protection would be appropriate then, so regular editors can still edit the template. Galobtter (pingó mió) 02:17, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Recently it seems like every other day I have to revert new/unregistered users' additions to this BLP that fail WP:NPOV or WP:V, e.g. loaded text, mentioning things she said just to contradict them, whatever this noise is, etc. A chronic issue is tons of different people adding and re-adding an uncited birth date in clear violation of WP:DOB, e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, and the icing of someone making me watch a video just to discover it wasn't in the source: 5. Note that this activity is coming from tons of different users, mainly IPs, so I think page protection is warranted. Now per WP:RGTSP I should mention that some new-ish accounts have made good contributions recently, e.g. here and here, but these contributors would not be stopped if auto-confirmation were required to edit. It would be really nice not to constantly see this page at the top of my watchlist with some new problem, and to free up that energy for improving the encyclopedia. Thanks!

VictimOfEntropy (talk) 07:17, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Please stop. You both now have warnings for edit warring. Please stop. You've both been told to stop calling each other's edits vandalism. Please stop. You both need to cease the personal attacks. Please stop. I am inclined to block you both, as you should not need a warning to not indulge in this behavior. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:58, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra: I don’t understand how I could have handled the situation any better than I did. Jamberpilot repeatedly edited the page so that it said abortion was illegal in Ohio at a point which is approximately 6 weeks LMP despite the fact that it is currently legal and available up to 22 weeks LMP in that state. That is a horrible way to misinform people, and it could have horrible consequences. Drmies undid Jamberpilot’s edits and told him to discuss it on Talk, but he just left a message on the Talk page and then immediately restored his false information on the article, and even lied in his edit claiming that it had been discussed when it hadn’t. Misinforming people has real consequences, like what we’re seeing in the real world, and Jamberpilot just repeatedly refuses to accept facts or have discussions before making these edits. People rely on this site to teach them about the world, and there’s a lot that needs to be done better. How can I let false and misleading information remain on a page just because the person who put it there is very persistent and refuses to discuss it? What if a woman in Ohio who didn’t realize she was pregnant until she was 8, 12, or 16 weeks along came to Wikipedia to learn if she could get an abortion, and cried in despair because she saw the page after Jamberpilot put that false information on it and before Drmies or I could fix it? What else could happen? —— VictimOfEntropy (signing my username here because I don’t know how else to do it. Sorry. I just hope things will be alright now).

Tough. The frequency is relatively low, the relative amount of undesirable contributions is high, the term "vandalism" is somehow a stretch, pending changes protection isn't really made for such cases. Short-term semi-protection can be applied but would have little effect. It's unlikely that this type of edits will stop in the near future, yet it's clear that they go against consensus and will continue to do so unless technically prevented.

Pedro Martins (footballer)

Reason: Since at least January, an IP user in France (sometimes using named accounts) has been repeatedly writing in French that they are the spouse of this living person. The user is barely coherent in English, and the choice of doing such an edit on an obscure page, persistently, suggests major mental issues. At times, this vandalism has sat on the page for weeks, as Wikipedia's recent change monitors who undo good edits in a fraction of a second, are OK with stalkers writing in foreign languages. 2A00:23C5:E187:5F00:B046:76A:9B7E:2495 (talk) 18:47, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Can you please discuss this on the article's talkpage like adults? I've read through your several days of reverts and neither of you has done a good job explaining their position in their edit summaries.

Name of page you are requesting an edit to

The information stated is of biased selective nature and partial. Whereas the documentary is based on interviews with both the affected community and local muslim population. The documentary is depicting the truth with changed character names and portrayed emotions. It can be feasible to assume that the timeline and few dialogues can be considered fictional but calling the whole film "fiction and conspiracy" is apathy and intentional.

Therefore the request is to remove the terms that are not fact based and without citation to verified validated sources like that of bbc and other renowned press.

Wugapodes I strongly disagree that the disruptive activity is not frequent enough to warrant protection. The last time an IP edited constructively was March and the past weeks have only consisted of IP vandalism and us reverting their comments. Pending changes might be a better option to preserve the option of IPs contributing, as the current state of protection is not conducive to productive collaboration on article improvement between editors imho. — Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Join WP:FINANCE! 08:10, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
@Ixtal: Per WP:ATPROT, we almost never protect article talk pages for long periods of time. When it's done, it's usually due to severe BLP violations or very persistent sockpuppetry. Pending changes is not enabled for the talk namespace, and wouldn't make sense to enable there, since the point of PC is to keep certain changes from being visible to readers immediately, and talk pages are editor-facing, not reader-facing. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 08:28, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

The Silence of the Lambs (novel)

Reason: Much-repeated IP vandalism. The same IP vandal that has caused this page to have to be protected twice before has returned again less than five days after protection was removed. I don’t know how to block an IP, but that’s clearly what has to be done with IP 103.100.225.90 unless the page is permanently protected in that way that prevents any IP from editing. There were some other IPs vandalizing before, so I don’t know if they’d come back again as well if only 103.100.225.90 was blocked, but as of right now it’s just 103.100.225.90 vandalizing for the fifth time.VictimOfEntropy (talk) 04:25, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

SrCerberus, why are you edit warring to keep a two+ year old warning on an IP editor's page? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:38, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
Declined Please stop edit-warring, SrCerberus. WP:NOTWALLOFSHAME applies even for IPs currently blocked as proxies. Plus it's unlikely that it's the same person behind that IP that it was 2 years ago, so the removal is reasonable even on the merits. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 11:42, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
@Tamzin How do I know for sure that it is not the same person? I understand that in most cases this is the case, but why would another person delete a warn of a discussion? I should have stopped at the second reversion, that is correct. (-_-) zu Ihren Diensten Talk to me! 11:51, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
@SrCerberus: Quite possible someone saw that their IP's talkpage exists, saw that there's an old warning that doesn't apply to them, and removed it. The IP's blocked, so they really can't do any damage, other than to say bad things on their talkpage, which they're not doing. Either way, even your first revert goes against policy. Editors are allowed to remove almost any message from their talkpage, including warnings. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 11:55, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Martial law under Ferdinand Marcos

Reason: Presumptive president-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has reportedly called for the revision of history textbooks in the past, and now may have the power to do so and more within the next six years. Along with the rise of troll farms being used to spread misinformation and suppress certain historical facts on social media, and with the red-tagging of companies such as Adarna House for their sale of educational Martial Law-related books, it is possible that trolls may be sent to target and censor this article and others related to it in the name of removing what they perceive as "Anti-Marcos" text.

Temporary semi-protection

Reason: Edit warring (yes including me to restore the consensus version) in direct opposition to an RFC ([[37]]) despite a new RFC underway. Slatersteven (talk) 17:38, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Slatersteven, presumably you instead intended to request ECP since the page in question is already semi-protected (the bot should've commented on this already but hasn't for some reason), also note, assuming my memory of the byzantine DS procedures is correct, since the existing protection was a DS any upgrade would also have to be done under DS unless Deepfriedokra agreed otherwise. 74.73.224.126 (talk) 13:41, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
Ahh sorry yes. Slatersteven (talk) 13:49, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
74.73.224.126, thanks for the note – just the part about discretionary sanctions appears is incorrect: Nothing (...) prevents an administrator from replacing an existing sanction issued by another administrator with a new sanction if fresh misconduct has taken place after the existing sanction was applied. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:39, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
(Responding to talk page notice) ToBeFree yes that was actually the point I was trying to convey, however ineptly, in my initial post. An upgrade without consultation is OK if it is also a DS, however an upgrade that was not done under DS would be inappropriate. Granted, and given that no one actually understands all the nuances of the DS/arb stuff thats developed over the years, even if someone made an error I'm confident AGF would hold, and it would all get worked out amicably in the end. 74.73.224.126 (talk) 14:51, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
Ah, I have misread that. I'd say the now-applied protection doesn't even really modify the existing sanction as its duration and protection level exceed the original one. Semi-protection is still present, beneath the new protection, for its original duration (and beyond). And yes, I completely agree. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:57, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

@Davetheirishguy. The page was protected in December 2016 due to persistent violations of our BLP policy. There have been no edits by IPs since then because the page is semi-protected but there have been dozens of edits by auto-confirmed users. You are auto-confirmed so are able to update the dead links if you are so inclined. Nevertheless, pinging Drmies for your input please. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:22, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

@Drmies. Actually, looking at the history more closely, the BLP violation was restored in September 2017 until Davetheirishguy removed it yesterday saying the citations were dead links. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 03:00, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
yes, that is correct, I took them out, the Miami Herald and Sun-Sentinel articles that were cited were links to "Page Not Found" messages, not even archived or paywalled articles. Davetheirishguy (talk) 11:52, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Name of page you are requesting an edit to

Change members from 0.48 million to 1.5 million. Change origin date from 2002 to 52AD.

Origin date is wrong Number of members is wrong. There are about 200,000 members outside of India, not 500,000 overall. There are well over 1.5 million members overall. It looks like a member of the Indian Orthodox Church logged in, wrote inaccurate statements, then protected the page to create falsities about this church so that they can feed their ego. Page protection was a pretty smart move, because it means no one can correct the misinformation being spewed here. Wikipedia should do better than to condone this sort of behaviour. 115.64.202.101 (talk) 23:28, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

No, it needs to be extended confirmed protection, because one of our main edit filter maintainers, Suffusion of Yellow, is not an admin.

Totalitarianism

Reason: Unregistered ip vandal and suspected sock puppets keep removing top sourced content including Oxford and Princeton university press in the last 2 months after multiple users have reverted him. The users removing content are: 108.35.72.233, 2607:fea8:1320:13d0:a501:404:d452:5804, and DaEditorz. The users who have been reverting these vandals are myself, Spf121188, HurricaneEdgar and Mako001. Foorgood (talk) 04:34, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Make that Full protection, this is (even if not one) indistinguishable from a content dispute. Whilst I am inclined to side on Foorgood's side, I also see that the editor removing the content is actually making an argument for doing so, which isn't being suitably refuted by other users. My role here was to revert them in one instance where they didn't provide an explanation for the deletion. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 13:47, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
The random ip users are not making arguments there are saying "its excessively sourced" and "unnecessary" while lying saying ive been sanctioned for editing the totalitarian page when they are deleting the whole edit. They literally created their random ip account just to keep removing it without valid reason. Foorgood (talk) 13:52, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
On closer inspection, the appearance of a genuine content dispute has fallen away. The IP users are using misleading summaries which suggest that consensus exists for their changes, but there is nothing on the talkpage. If a Checkuser is feeling a bit bored at the moment, they may like to check out some of the users on that page, as there is clearly some EWLO and socking going on there. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 14:05, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
And now it seems like this is indeed a content dispute. I found the supposed "consensus", and whilst it is shaky, this is now firmly what I would consider a "take it to the talkpage" situation Full Protection requested until a wider consensus can be established. I have no further comment on DaEditorz seeming EWLO. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 14:40, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
Mako user SPF fell for DaEditorz lying and then came to consensus with me: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASpf121188&type=revision&diff=1083625041&oldid=1083624770Foorgood (talk) 14:48, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Wow... was it difficult once you see that there are multiple random ip users reverting top sourced content for no valid reason dont we realize its vandalism? i guess we will return here once he vandalizes it two or three more times. Foorgood (talk) 15:08, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because there is a highly controversial and unprofessional approach to it’s opening paragraph and needs to be edited in a way that doesn’t have an obvious misleading approach by other editors. . 209.151.179.201 (talk) 06:53, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

What’s misleading about it? I think the protection is justified as it is a highly volatile page easily targeted by people who want it portrayed more positively--CreecregofLife (talk) 06:59, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

I’m not a huge fan of what they do as well but I wanted to learn more about them and when in their opening paragraph says they “propagate disinformation” it doesn’t describe anything and doesn’t seem to be proven either, so… objection leading and objection hearsay on that lol. I believe saying something “propagates disinformation” while using political bashing in an opening paragraph just seems obviously one-sided politically motivated and not informational in an non misleading way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1014:b1a8:1e8e:21aa:8ecc:827a:288b (talk) 07:35, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Gyanvapi Mosque

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because people are trying to rewrite history by false claims.and no one can edit this..issue with the article: 1. The mandir was made later around the masjid by queen holker much after aurangjebs rule.so aurangjeb cannot destroy a mandir that was not there... 2. The controversial shivling is being examined. Some say it's a fountain because there is a hole on top. Shivlings don't have that. 3. During Mughal era people converted to Hinduism because of issues they faced in Hinduism. Like: satidaha where widow were burnt alive with dead husband's, caste issue where huge penalties were given to lower castes even if their shadows touched Brahmin shadows.devdasi where hindu leaders could kidnap young girl and use as a prostitute. Right now these systems are abolished and people do not know the history fully. Current political agenda is to agitate the situation like the Nazis. So request wiki to release pages originating in India only after due verification from international historians.else it may be really bad for the society and will be a wicked thing to do.

Stepan Bandera

Reason: The page is written and edited by a pro-Russian author who represent Ukrainian national liberation movements as "fascist" while including multiple pro-Russian ideologies such as calling 2014 illegal annexation and war against Ukraine as "intervention" or claiming that Ukrainian national liberation movements are "nazi." This rhetoric is USED this very moment to brutalize and murder Ukrainians and destroy Ukraine. This page must be re-written by Ukrainians who remove rhetoric that justifies Russia's long standing genocidal and imperialist treatment of Ukraine. For instance, stunningly the Holodomor (forced starvation) - a Russo-Soviet Stalinist genocide resulting in death of approximately 10 million Ukrainians during Bandera's early life and career are completely omitted. Soviet brutality and oppression of Ukrainians is minimized. Please consider whether all entries about Ukraine, which have significant influx of pro-Russian propaganda, are reviewed by a legitimate group of Ukrainian scholars (I recommend Harvard Ukrainian Institute, Kyiv-Mohyla University, and the University of Toronto scholars) 98.185.254.147 (talk) 05:30, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

2000 Mules

Reason: Claims of falsehood have themselves been debunked. Example- Philip Bump from the Washington Post is being used as a source [3] to support that 2000 Mules is false. In contrary, Bump's biased stance and April article was incorrectly written. Bump's claim that the Georgia FBI field office already had a person arrested in the Atlanta shooting of a young girl before the Geo-tracking evidence was given to them from 2000 Mules is correct. However, that arrest did not lead to the indictment. The FBI released that suspect and a year later, 2000 Mules provides the Geo-tracking evidence and then the suspect is re-arrested and finally indicted. In addition, the Geo-tracking evidence provided a second suspect, something that Bump leaves out. This confirms the precision Geo-tracking actually provides, contrary to what Bump may have you believe. Bump's use of a half-truth to support his biased claim is then, in turn, used here on Wikipedia which is misleading. The same could be said of the other sources.

Reason: The page has already been silverlocked, because it has been subject to unsourced conspiracy addtions from a sockpuppet army (i.e. typical LTA).

Reason: She lost the election, so there is little reason to believe the page will continue to get vandalized.

Courtesy pinging El C, who installed the year-long semi-protection. But IMO that protection was fully justified and is still needed. She lost the election only yesterday, and she remains a highly visible and very controversial person. There is no reason to believe she will immediately fall off of everyone's radar the day after losing the primary. Maybe six months from now we can evaluate whether the protection is still needed.-- MelanieN (talk) 03:57, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

2022 Kathmandu municipal election

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. People/ his fans are adding unsourced content on rapper Balendra Sah and other candidates who are in race for mayoral post. This is absolutely going to make Wikipidia a private magazine which for sure is going to be worst. So, I request protection for 1 months from now as counting may last atleast days from now.

Eric C. Conn

Reason: From what I could tell from what I could find of the original deletion of the article, it appears to me that it was originally deleted due to violation of WP:N. Conn is convicted of defrauding the United States Government in a massive conspiracy of half a billion dollars. He was the subject of a manhunt for more than six months from several federal law enforcement agencies, to include the Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. When the original article was opened, he was merely a random attorney but has since crossed that threshold into being notable, in my opinion. There have been articles written about the man in major news sources, such as The Wall Street Journal, the Lexington Herald-Leader, and National Public Radio. Additionally, his fraud scheme was featured in an episode of CNBC's American Greed: Scams, Scoundrels and Scandals and a documentary series titled The Big Conn on Apple TV+ has been created outlining the scheme.

I don't want to go into the whole "whataboutism" but I could easily point out plenty of topics that exist on Wikipedia that are much less notable than Eric C. Conn. I assume that the original reason the page was deleted was that it was fashioned as a straight-up advertisement, but I feel there is enough to write a fairly sufficient Wikipedia article. I recently watched the AppleTV+ docuseries and wanted to know a little more about what happened, especially since I'm from that area and used to see his billboards all over the place "back home." When I noticed there was no article, I decided I'd go ahead and create it for anyone that might also be curious but ran into the "create-protected" block.

In fairness, I have no idea why the page was "create-protected" (a strange concept from my understanding of the mission/purpose of Wikipedia?), but I haven't been heavily involved in editing Wikipedia in a few years. Thank you for your time and careful consideration of this request. — HiB2Bornot2B talk Go Big Blue! 23:06, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Unprotected It's been almost 4 days and BQ has not yet responded, the salted article contained almost none of the information that the OP references, so this is likely a significantly different situation than existed when it was salted.

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated premature edits, doubtless GF, to denote subject is a city, rather than, as is currently noted, that it is to become one later in the year. Mutt Lunker (talk) 11:01, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Declined This is a borderline case, most of the contested changes are good faith differences in understanding about the timing of the status; plus they are coming from both autoconfirmed accounts and IPs. It's mildly annoying to have to correct this, but the potential for collateral damage seems to outweigh that. Stay vigilant, but I can't see any legitimate policy violations (rather than differences in understanding of sources) that protection would ameliorate. Jayron32 12:13, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Kimiya Hosseini

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An IP-jumping, block-evading editor keeps adding false information that they are married to this person (the blocked editor also claims to be 16 years old, so, BLP issues aside....).

The Fox and the Hound 2

Reason: This page has been protected for over 13 years, and it is currently low traffic. In particular, a dead link is apparently a malformed attempt to repeat a reference already mentioned in the same section of the infobox. (the studio) On a related note, The Fox and the Hound (novel) is another page protected for about 11 years now, and its problems most likely should have eased by now. However, I'll make a separate request for it if I have to. 75.106.171.139 (talk) 19:30, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Funland (Rehoboth Beach, Delaware)

Reason: Some examples of stuff that are currently outdated is the park has now opened as the page is omitting, as well as multiple rides have been removed from the park, as well as a new ride that is arriving soon. We know this because we are big fans of the park, and have done a ton of research on it. The other editor that knows a ton on Funland has tried to explain this to the other editors, as well as provide them with sources confirming what they've been saying, and trying to reach consensus, but nobody is listening to them. The other editors then also decided to try to get the page protected and block the knowledgeable from correcting the page. We have no connection to ANY of the editors including the now blocked editor, however we do know the page really shouldn't be protected when apparently nobody besides the blocked editor knows anything bout the park. We've triple read through the article's talk page, and it appears the only person that knows about the park is the now blocked editor. This is totally unfair to them as they've evidently done nothing but try to make sure the page was accurate. This is really quite disgusting to say the least. Although we don't have any connection or conflict of interest with Funland, we feel like it's our duty to make sure that the page has the information it deserves to have, that way people can learn proper information bout the park. We hope you do the right thing and unblock the page and hopefully even the editor as well.

2022 Australian federal election

Temporary semi-protection: The federal election is coming tomorrow, and there has been IP/unregistered vandalism that has slowly been increasing in frequency in the past few days. By tomorrow, the the vandalism is likely to multiply exponentially if left unprotected since the daily pageviews is basically guaranteed to also significantly increase. I'd suggest to protect the page for at least the next 3 days since the results are unlikely to be finalised by tomorrow. Jeuno (talk) (contribs) 10:53, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. I can see more positive (or at least good-faith) edits from IPs than obvious vandalism among the most recent several days. Jayron32 12:07, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

List of rail accidents (2020–present)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent addition of entries of no encyclopedic significance (for example, routine level crossing incidents with nothing but transient local news coverage).

Question: RC, did you warn a prior incarnation of this IP? Because this one only has a welcome msg on their talk page. Also, does 71.163.7.41: CIR; routine LC incident ≈ El_C Incident? Probably "local coverage," but it took me a minute. El_C 13:45, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
@El C: Yep, warned, explained on talk page, was even blocked for it, and yet they've kept going. This is just becoming a timesink (even when the accident is not routine, one usually needs to rewrite it from scratch because the English is just atrocious) and, well, given the IP is not really static, long-term problems require long-term solutions.

You are falsely peddling misinformation by editorializing subject matter here. You're not allowed to that and then protect the page.

Reason: Lots of IPs or SPAs recently want to add coverage of ongoing lawsuit, particularly that in the substack of Bari Weiss. I am fairly certain that this substack is not a sufficiently reliable source for backing contentious claims in a BLP; I will further mention that the substack names an individual that mainstream press accounts have not named as a victim of possible sexual harrassment.

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I'm adding semi-protection but I don't expect it to do much good, because most of the people adding - AND removing - unsourced content are auto-confirmed users who would not be affected by semi-protection. Extended Confirmed protection could be imposed, but it might not be a good idea; it could cause collateral damage by preventing editing by both the "good guys" and the "bad guys".

I am generally not a fan of long-term protection of talk pages, but given that (i) this is a talk page of a special page (ii) it was protected earlier for 3 months and (iii) vandalism resumed immediately after the expiration of that protection, I thing 6 months is a reasonable duration Ymblanter (talk) 07:02, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

2022 European Rally Championship

Semi-protection: There is an anonymous IP (202.8.218.167) making the same edits relentlessly, including activities of living people and entities without references - in fact it is contradicting the sources that are given there. I've tried to source references for their edits myself but had no success, IMO it's vandalism. Anon IP will not engage in talk page chat, will not respond to feedback left on their talk page. IP has been temporarily banned multiple times for the same reason yet returns immediately to continue the same edits, including today having just served a one week ban. Given the IP only edits the one article and temporary bans serve no use, it could be a programmed bot. I would like to request the IP ban is full time or the page be protected.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – This person may have died. One user updated the article to past tense and put in a year of death, but no source. I reverted. Two other users (one IP, then one non-IP) made similar edits today. I've reverted 3 times and it seems someone doesn't want to stop. Requesting protection so we don't report her death prematurely. An obituary or other indication of death should be included to change a BLP to just a bio. FYI, I have left messages on 2 of the talk pages of the editors. Thank you.

Indefinite semi-protection: Speaking as MalnadachBot's operator, the only purpose this talk page serves is to trigger an emergency shutdown whenever the page is edited.

While I'm not sure if protecting one's own talk page is recommendable enough to name this technical ability as a decline reason, and while protecting user talk pages even against the will of the user may be necessary in cases of extreme disruption, this declined request here can be safely archived for now. NinjaRobotPirate would at very least request semi-protection if needed.

Putinism

Semi-protection Rampant trolling by an IP hopper who wants us to discuss[87]: "Russian soldiers were quickly killed by brave Ukrainian defenders of democratic European ways", "Americans quickly elected a much better, pro-Western and pro-NATO president, who supports the defense of Europe!", "Putin is hiding in his cold, dark and wet bunker somewhere in the Uran mountains", "he will hopefully be extradited to Haag or Tel Aviv, where he will be tried and hanged quickly".

And is also removing my message critical of this trolling.[88]

Joshua Katz (classicist)

Reason: The article is subject to large amounts of edits by both IP Editors and by new accounts. Because of constant intermediate edits, many of the changes editors have done is not reversible automatically and thus must be done manually. Joshua Katz has, in recent days, gained nationwide attention over his dismissal from Princeton University and the article is in desperate need for some basic protection.

Extended confirmed protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:32, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
Thanks @TonyBallioni ! Unfortunately, because of the extended confirmed protection, I am unable to reverse the edits back to the article before the hot edit-mess. I created the article Joshua Katz (classicist) a few days ago and authored almost the entire article—I would very much like to revert the article back to the state it was just a few hours ago before the load of editors came in. Is there any way for this to be done? GuardianH (talk) 02:36, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
GuardianH gave you +extendedconfirmed because you weren't the target of the protection and are so close to getting it anyway. I see Drmies is also active there and editing stuff not related to potential BLP problems, so I'd coordinate with him/on the talk page before doing a blanket restore. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:42, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
TonyBallioni, the editor was being a bit ... enthusiastic in their writing, and seems to take it all a bit too personally. But we'll see; more attention from seasoned editors would be a good thing. I don't see any BLP problems right now--just an article that was too promotional. Drmies (talk) 02:49, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
Drmies, yeah, when I was looking at it I saw some overly detailed stuff on the accusations, etc. and back and forth over that in the history. Given the topic and that professors being fired tends to always be controversial, went with ECP on a BLP as a DS to hopefully let things cool down and let more experienced editors in. If you don't think its warranted, I'm fine reducing it (I know you're involved, but more out of respect for your experience with these things.) Same offer goes to any other admin.

Flag of Pandya

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The page has been protected 3 times due to disruptive edits by several IPs. However, it was short duration such as a week. When the protection expire the IP users starts the disruptive edits by adding confusion text, probably from Google translation which would mislead readers. Therefore, It needs long / indefinite protection. AntanO 03:45, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.

  • I'm not sure if protecting this will actually accomplish anything... The recent disruption is purely in the edit summaries. It's really bad edit summary disruption, to be clear, but it's not reader-facing, and it's not like she cares a lot about the articles she targets; if not this one it'll just be another. But, this does meet the standard criteria for a short-term semi, so if another sysop thinks that worthwhile, I won't object. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:02, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Question: DaxServer, she says in that 2017 interview that she's 26, so how could it be 1979? El_C 12:52, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
@El C The DOB was updated per VRTS ticket # 2016051310004058 by Geniac in Special:Diff/1087976281. Nothing more I could do — DaxServer (t · m · c) 12:56, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Be that as it may, the source attributing 1979 does not actually reflect that birth date (i.e. is a decade off). So that self-contradiction needs to be resolved. We can't fault users (unconfirmed or otherwise) for aligning the info with the citation in question. El_C 13:01, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Yes, that is valid. How do you suggest one, or maybe I, counter the VRTS ticket [in this scenario] ? Should I put a footnote explaining the same (and move the citation into the footnote stating sourcing and a previous interview contradicts with the VRTS identification) ? — DaxServer (t · m · c) 13:06, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Forgot to ping @El C — DaxServer (t · m · c) 13:07, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Second request in as many days....2 week long dack and forth. Moxy- 21:01, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping, but since I commented on the previous request, I will leave it for another admin to evaluate this one. -- MelanieN (talk) 04:08, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Note: This is the thing: the expectation these days in certain areas of the project seems to be that if you fully-protect a page, you must follow up on the dispute or disputes. Which I don't know how many admins would be willing to do. So, while full protection is clearly called for right now I, at least, am holding off for that reason. El_C 11:11, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
I had seen the previous request and not taken action because most edit warring on extended-confirmed-protected pages can be resolved through warnings and (rarely, mostly partial) blocks. I acknowledge, though, that this may be the wrong approach if a topic attracts random reverts from experienced bypassers. The disruption from these currently appears to be manageably low-frequent enough. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:46, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
I think that gets tempered by 1RR, so it spreads over a number of users. El_C 11:22, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected., in my judgement, the edit-warring is severe enough for a short-term full protection, but is not sufficient for a long-term protection. Now, in a week, protection is going to expire, I set pending changes to avoid immediate damage, but in principle the protection must be restored to extended confirmed as soon as possible.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:38, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

2000 Mules

Reason: The content is undeniably partisan. In order for Wikipedia to have any legitimacy, it needs to make an attempt at neutrality. The opening sentence says, the documentary "falsely" claimed mules were illegally used in the 2020 election. What is wrong with just saying that the documentary "claims" or "alleges" mules were illegally used in the 2020 election? Criticism and fact checking are fine anyone who denies the existence of voter fraud in the U.S. needs to go to Heritage's online database, where they will find 1,285 proven instances of it—including 1,110 criminal convictions (Newsweek). Many of the "fact checks" in this Wikipedia post are not only biased but contain logic fallacies. Page protection should be used to protect fair and balanced material from corruption, not to prevent it. 2601:603:1580:89D0:51E8:CF55:2CC3:3824 (talk) 22:25, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

There has been constant addition of poorly referenced materials which have been removed in the past just to connect a mythological group with a present day Yadav, Ahir community. The details on the page are exactly opposite to points put up by these IPs. The same IPs constantly attack editors on talk page of article with very choices of abuses. I suspect a lot of them are banned sock accounts. In line with all this I request for protection on this page. RS6784 (talk) 07:22, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Regular disruptive activity by IPs and newly socks overriding the previous consensus on it by senior editor. RS6784 (talk) 08:38, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Sorry Admin, for my wrongly framing of words here. My point is as the page had some consensus based decision in the past by editors and now newly SPAs are active on it with very disruptive editing. You can see the 1-2 weeks activity on that page, I think considering all this there should be some protection. Apologies once again for wrong choice of words. RS6784 (talk) 10:24, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Reason: The page "Abortion in Japan" was recently radically changed by an unnamed user with the IP address 42.115.159.169, that IP address was subsequently blocked.

However, another unnamed user with the IP address 126.72.234.100 has now restored the exact same version that 42.115.159.169 made, and i suspect that this is the same person trying to evade the blocking of their previous IP address on Wikipedia.

No need to involve the talk page just because a user used a sucketppupet to vandalise the page. I was requesting for the content to return to its previous "form", which was the same for basically a year. Anyway, the admin that was involved understood what I said and agreed with my request.

Fano (militia)

Reason: Fano (militia) is generally the young people of Amhara, Ethiopia. It is impossible to blame Fano as a specified organized group. All the young people of the Amhara are called Fano. There is a clear difference between Fano and militia. Fano is the youngest community member of the people of Amhara whereas militia is a government-based organized group, especially constituting ex-soldiers. And, Fano is not a protest group rather it follows the values and principles of the people of Amhara in their everyday movements and activities. Blaming Fano as a rebel group is equal to accusing the people of Amhara as an unruly community. This type of overgeneralized accusing of a particular community including Amhara is not acceptable and should be stopped. Fano is the part and parcel of the people of Amhara. 197.156.108.6 (talk) 14:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

WTRF-TV

Reason: Edit disputes. Further information on talk page concerning updating information that keeps getting reverted back to the outdated and biased information, with information that hasn't been correct about the station for years, and asking for sources for types of information that has either been sourced from official sites or that is allowed to exist on similar TV station entries without any sources. Person doing the reverts refuses to discuss on the talk page of the entry, even when I have repeatedly went to the talk page to avoid edit warring for this page. User who reverts has been warned before on their own talk page about this, as user has seemly done this with another page. Seems to be two who refuses to allow any new or updated info to be added, regardless of if it is sourced or not. Darkpower (talk) 18:33, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

I'll note that most of the IP edits are claiming to be the same person President of GphiG (talk · contribs) has claimed to be. That account is now softblocked, but the user is welcome to rename or create a new account, so unless there's a resumption of IP disruption, I don't see a need to protect the page due to one person's actions. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 02:41, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Abortion in the United States

Reason: A new editor and an IP have been adding inaccurate information about current laws. If anything, please watchlist this article to prevent further disruption. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 23:44, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

  • Declined SouthernCaliforniaExploration is already autoconfirmed, and the IP disruption is minimal. Both parties are at 3RR, and both seem to have recognized this and stopped, so I don't currently see a need for administrative action on that front. I do wonder if the page would benefit from a 1RR or consensus required, though, at least for a few months. Thoughts, anyone? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 03:30, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
    I'm involved in the content dispute, and the article currently includes inaccurate original research that has been discussed at length at SCE's Talk page without a resolution. Wtmitchell and I tried to fix the article but SCE continued to revert their WP:OR version back in. My current concerns are 1) how to effectively communicate with an editor who has disrupted the article by adding misleading information, and 2) how to remove the misleading information so the article can instead reflect information from the sources. Beccaynr (talk) 04:15, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
    @Beccaynr: Well, a discussion on talk would be the best way forward for the current matter. I've also left them the same alerts I just left you, for the abortion and AmPol DS regimes. In terms of avoiding a repeat of this kind of edit war, that's why I'm mulling over 1RR or consensus required. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:07, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
    Thank you, Tamzin, and at this point, I have taken the article off my watchlist and I am disengaging. I feel I have already had a thorough discussion with SCE, and at this point it seems best for me to leave it to others to remove the misleading and inaccurate original research from the article. Beccaynr (talk) 05:30, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Titan the Robot

Reason: For almost 14 years the fact that "Titan the Robot" is a costume worn by an actor and not a robot has been repeatedly been deleted from the Wikipedia page to be in accordance with the company's website. The company omits any details about "Titans" true nature so as to not commit false advertising while at the same time trying to maintain the illusion of a real robot. Deletions have been done by a user called "Titan the Robot" until that user was blocked permanently. Since then deletions are done by IP-users. Request to protect the page in its current form that states the correct nature of the subject of the page. MiBerG (talk) 04:08, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

  • The edit of 4 May, which you just reverted, seems to be the first time in years that anyone's tried to claim Titan is a real robot. Unless I'm missing something, the last such time was November 2018, reverted March 2019. This article looks like a good candidate for long-term pending changes, but I'm hesitant to start that off when there have been no previous protections and not a lot of recent activity. So for now, Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. But if someone tries to again push the idea that it's a real robot, I would support a 3-month trial of pending changes. Feel free to ping me if that happens. I'll watchlist the page for good measure. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:21, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

UTV Romania

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – More Nate Speed sock puppets. FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 05:34, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

  • Declined. Romanian TV means this is Glam-girlz, not Nate. Glam-girlz isn't one of those sockmasters who obsesses over a few articles and if you protect them she might go away. She also isn't putting any disruptive content into the articles themselves; it's purely in the edit summaries, which our readers don't see. Given that she's going to be targeting some article, I don't see how it benefits the encyclopedia to force her away from articles that recent change patrollers now have watchlisted, and toward brand new ones. Just revert, block, and ignore. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:50, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, Muboshgu. My protection of the redirect was meant as a continuation of the previous creation protection that was extinguished by the creation of the redirect. Given that following the election it has now been overwritten by an actual article, the protection has lost its purpose. In an ideal world, I'd prefer that a draft was approved via AfC, but given that the article creator is an AfC reviewer themself, I suppose it makes zero difference. Unprotected.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Page has been targeted for promotional and poorly-sourced content expansion for many months. There have been edits by sockpuppets (Twsabin, here), sockmasters (Factsforsure44, here), and block-evading IPs (this edit, IP in /40 range of this then-blocked user).

Previous protection has not sufficed to stem the disruption upon unprotection. 4 days, 1 month, and 2 months, have all been tried. I think there's been enough committed disruption, and a low enough need for constructive edits from newcomers, that we should try a lengthy protection period. Maybe a year or more?.

Road signs in Malaysia

Reason: Multiple unlogged in IP users from the same ISP and area are doing disruptive edits on this article. They are reinstating old PNG images and removing the descriptions when there is newer SVG images that follow a new sign format and a lot more high resolution.

This content dispute is addressed in the talk page to discuss, but since these users are making mobile, visual edits it is most likely they will never reply.

Currently I think this is the only way other than banning the IPs but they will just return with a new IP address like they did before. Thank you. ItsTomato (talk) 14:07, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Protection exists because of 1 IP edit warrior over a year ago. I doubt this film is a active target for vandals nowadays SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 15:18, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Courtesy ping Primefac. It looks like 79.53.128.0/17, home to the editor whose antics caused the protection, is still active, and some of the edits are – disconcerting. Favonian (talk) 15:27, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
Not super-inclined - I count a half-dozen IPs, in which every edit from January 2021 has been redacted or suppressed. My protection was not a one-off, it was due to escalating protections previously. If someone wants to overrule me I will not stand in their way, I agree with Favonian's disconcert. Primefac (talk) 17:34, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
Not unprotected – For the record, the protection was caused by BLP violations, not just edit-warring. Someone has a very unhealthy focus on one of the actors in this film, and as the above mentioned IP range still produces a number of unhinged edits, I'm coming down on the side of caution.

Bennedict Mathurin

The Bennedict Mathurin needs to mention his 3/21/22 groping allegations. This was caught on video, widely discussed in the media, and reported by credibly outlets. An administrator, Drmies, and other users seem to be trying to suppress any mention of this incident. Truth Possum (talk) 17:14, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

  • Please see the recent history of that article: these I consider to be BLP violations considering the size of the edit and the paucity of the sourcing; the user is welcome to make their case on the talk page but hasn't seen fit to do so. Drmies (talk) 17:17, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
    • How is ESPN not a valid source? Making this briefer doesn't allow for any mention of Mathurin's denial of the allegations. Because of the sensitivity of these allegations, the more in-depth discussion feels necessary. Do you have any suggestions that don't result in completely suppressing the matter altogether? Truth Possum (talk) 17:21, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
      • Sheesh. Yes. DISCUSS IT ON THE TALK PAGE AND LOOK FOR CONSENSUS. And don't twist my rationale into "ESPN is unreliable"--that's disingenuous. As far as I'm concerned, that content is so undue that the admin who looks at this might well consider rev-deleting. Drmies (talk) 17:28, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
        Please clarify: "that content is so undue"?
        Will a shorter version of this story citing ESPN meet your standards then? Truth Possum (talk) 18:07, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Indefinite or temporary for a long time, extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – Despite semi protection, unwanted edits keep coming, so this needs to be protected more. This page is simply very susceptible to vandalism. Drummingman (talk) 18:30, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. I see exactly two disruptive edits in the last week which would have been prevented by upping the protection level to EC. I also see edits by useful contributors in the last few weeks which would have been prevented by the change in protection level. I also see some content disputes but on a high-visibility page like this one that's a healthy state. This is currently semi-protected indefinitely, which is just about as far as I'm willing to go, this being the encyclopedia anyone can edit. BusterD (talk) 21:02, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Gamergate (harassment campaign)

I’m not sure if “right wing” is explicitly correct in it’s entirety, and seems a little oddly biased in its writing. I’d prefer changing “right wing” to “misogynistic” or “anti-feminist”, as ‘right-wing’ is kind of vague nowadays, with the term being used inconsistently to describe certain groups that can or have been perceived as on the political right in many a few cases. It just doesn’t sound very precise in my opinion. MaxOS117 (talk) 19:20, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Declined it's not been vandalized likely because it is protected, unlike the target this one has significantly less watchers (over 100 times less) so vandalism would be less likely to be noticed as well, and it has hundreds of inbound links. If this is in the way of any needed maintenance that can't be handled with an edit request, we can revisit. — xaosflux Talk 22:40, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Ringette

Reason: High level of recent vandalism, mass edits, due to a single editor (insulting as well, not for my contributions but ones belonging to others). Seemed in good faith initially, investigation strongly suggests otherwise; WP:POINT, loss of many many sources due to the same editor; too much content lost to effectively use undo/reverts to repair significant losses CheckersBoard (talk) 22:45, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

I think there's a WP:OWN issue here. You have been reverting a number of good-faith edits which do seem to be making the article better by removing a lot of original research and off-topic waffle. Calling them 'Vandalism' is not appropriate. JeffUK (talk) 23:56, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

The Hatchling

Reason: The pageant for Queen Elizabeth's diamond jubilee will take place in London, England, on 5 June 2022. The Hatchling will lead the pageant (celebratory procession) down the Mall and past Buckingham Palace, and the Gold State Coach pulled by around eight white horses will be included in the pageant. This is the coronation coach, and it has not been included in a procession for 20 years, so it will attract worldwide attention. The Hatchling is like no other giant puppet, being also a kite, and having an extraordinary appearance. It is expected to attract extra attention by its unexpected entertainment activities while leading the pageant. Thus both will attract unusual worldwide attention. I am requesting page protection for these two articles for all of 5 June, and if necessary for the following day. I am requesting protection at least at DYK level, or higher at your discretion. If you can't do that, then the absolute minimum protection would have to be: no unregistered editors, no brand new just-registered editors. Storye book (talk) 09:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Could someone please remove the bullet point "What on a switch?" and the two images that follow it as an obvious violation of WP:BLP, WP:POLEMIC and WP:ATTACK. It is unacceptable for editors to be using the elf on the shelf meme (see https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/youve-heard-of-the-elf-on-the-shelf if you're unfamiliar) to label living people they don't like as a b****es. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 20:45, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

@Lol1VNIO: Can you justify your user page and the following text: "PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS PAGE without my permission. No exceptions." In case you didn't know, your user page is not yours. (CC) Tbhotch™ 21:50, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
@192.76.8.78: When I put that there, I wanted it to say snitch (as in thief). I didn't even notice that rhymes with the b-word at the time. If the word is still problematic, then I'll remove it.
Per WP:NOBAN, if I request people not to edit my user page, it should, within reason, be respected. My reason is it looks cool when the dates in the page history subtract and months add, even if it makes me a man child. ~~ lol1VNIO (I made a mistake? talk to me • contribs) 10:47, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
