Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There have been several attempts of vandalism to delete, change, and put in unsourced content, and it can be assumed that this will increase further in coming weeks in light of political controversy and sensitivity around the topic of the article. ~Mohammad Hossain~ 04:59, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Recently news articles were published showing a spy for Canadian smuggled her into Syria. More than one IP address is trying to remove information about the involvement of the spy eg this edit, I've tried to revert the edits but they do the same thing over again. Please can I request the article restricted so IP editors cannot edit it so I can start a discussion on the talk page to gain consensus on how to include the information?

Thanks

Reason: Khmer New Year is official article of Khmer Wikipedia not article of admintrastor of Wikipedia 175.100.20.212 (talk) 10:48, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Declined For starters, there is no such thing as "official page". Next, Khmer Wikipedia (the proper name) is already a redirect to List of Wikipedias, as it hasn't demonstrated independent notability to the point to warrant an article. Dennis Brown - 10:54, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Player is speculated to change clubs, which has attracted a lot of unconstructive edits. Domeditrix (talk) 15:44, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: IP vandalism محرر البوق (talk) 17:49, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. محرر البوق, FYI: that is not vandalism (WP:VD), which is a more narrow subset of disruptive editing (WP:DE). El_C 18:09, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content/speculation- season finale is less than a week away (airing September 6 at 10pm ET), so a protection that lasts until sometime after 11pm ET that night should be enough. Magitroopa (talk) 17:52, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Article is being inundated by IP changes today. Nemov (talk) 19:10, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Nemov, that is not vandalism. See WP:NOTVAND. El_C 20:02, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: The extended protection on this page is too much. It's overprotecting. I'm actually one of the people reverting unsourced or random information and semi-protected pages are manageable enough. So my request is to go back to semiprotection, because I saw edit wars worst than this, but the one on this page is barely mild.

Also, why you administrators don't discuss to rise like at 30/40 edits for be an autoconfermed user? Koala Wiki (talk) 05:45, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Koala Wiki "why you administrators don't discuss to rise like at 30/40 edits for be an autoconfermed user?" because it's not something that admins can decide. It would be a community decision. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 10:45, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. FMSky, it was last protected six years ago and before 31 August, did not experience disruptive editing in months. Why did you think it needed indefinite protection?

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 17:59, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: As with WWF Full Metal: The Album, this article has garnered the same level of vandalism by IP socks (142.xx, always Canada-based) of long-term vandal Mcclian since 2015. Suggest a multi-year block as with Full Metal, since he always vandalises them concurrently. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:42, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 18:00, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
I ask that you reconsider this request. Why does it have to be recent activity to within weeks or a few months? A mere glance at the edit history will show continual vandalism, every few months (often days or weeks whenever 142.xx is unblocked or gets a new IP), by the same person since at least 2018. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:22, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – IP users are changing a nonbinary author's pronouns to specific incorrect gendered pronouns. Sariel Xilo (talk) 18:51, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. These pronouns are too unconventional for WP:BLP or WP:GENSEX enforcement. Their usage or lack thereof should be determined on the talk page on the basis of consensus, rather than guaranteed by default. El_C 19:51, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
@El C: Just want to flag that in this case, the 3 different IP accounts were switching from gender neutral pronouns to feminine pronouns. While there has been debate in the past about pronouns, it has been focused on what type of gender neutral pronouns to use (ie. they/them versus the author's preference of Spivak pronouns). There's no content debate on if the author is nonbinary so switching to feminine pronouns is inappropriate and should fall under the polices you cited above. This is coupled with an IP calling Kobabe "mentally ill" for the use of gender neutral pronouns (see Old revision of Talk:Maia Kobabe). Sariel Xilo (talk) 20:09, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation, I blocked that IP for that nonsense. Anyway, I wasn't suggesting we misgender them, but the argument for using singular they as opposed to a pronoun few are aware of — that is a legit position. BLP or GENSEX does not give the side that wishes to use the unconventional pronoun an advantage in such a dispute, is what I'm getting at. El_C 20:21, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 21:42, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 03:08, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: As per the previous request, there has been a persistent edit war over D'Arcy's pronouns for the last month; D'Arcy is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. The disruption resumed shortly after the previous protection expired. Sideswipe9th (talk) 01:29, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. Logged AE action. El_C 03:10, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 5 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. KuyaStephenAlaEH, what is a soft launch? El_C 03:11, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Reply soft launch in Filipino business parlance is commencement of operations without any grand promotions. Such step is made prior to the outlet's grand formal launch that happens weeks later.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The expired protection was pending changes and, aside from one recent disruptive edit, there does not appear to have been any disruption for months. Mifter (talk) 04:43, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Did not see the above decline. Anyway, my thinking was that this repeated edit warring by IPs of this BLP concerning MOS:ETHNICITY needed a firm response (though not a lengthy one, certainly not indef), seeing as it kept on going. El_C 04:50, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
Mifter, the page was semi'd May 28 to June 4, but the pc that was applied on May 25, expired on Aug 26. The bot removed the protection tag today, however, which might explains why the disruption resumed also today. El_C 04:55, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up, El C. Agreed that the prior tag may have contributed to the lack of disruption. I went back and forth on this one if pending changes/semi was needed so no objection to the short term semi. Thanks, Mifter (talk) 05:49, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: The page concerns an Indian government official, and repeated edits have been made by accounts with the same name as the subject of the page, as well as from IP addresses belonging to the Indian government (the National Informatics Center, to be precise). COI warnings to users making these edits are being disregarded, and the page is frequently updated to include personal advertisements, including links to articles written by the subject as well as the subject's personal website. Temporary protection might be advisable as the page's neutrality is already disputed (since 2021) and there appears to be a concerted effort to include promotional content. - Naushervan (talk) 12:54, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: There is strong suspicion that Sylvain Charlebois vandalized his own page with the intent of requesting a high protection level. Before the alleged vandalism, all information about Sylvain's harassment scandal—a high-profile harassment scandal in Canadian media—was erased.

Once this key information was erased,, the page was presumably vandalized. Sylvain Charlebois requested to protect the page.

However, the alleged vandalism was made from the same IP as where Sylvain Charlebois works and resides. Thus, Sylvain Charlebois used this sneaky tactic to erase his own controversial personal history and, then, request to protect the page, in order to prevent others from reinstating his public scandal story.

It is important to note that Sylvain Charlebois' harrassment scandal is crucial to his past, as it was a high-profile media story that ran across the entire country. This piece of information should not be ommitted from Sylvain's page. Nosfer ariel65 (talk) 03:09, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

@Nosfer ariel65: If so, then they drastically failed - the article is only semiprotected, which is the lowest protection level available, and the justification given is BLP-violating material - such as the accusation that Charlebois was deliberately including such material to get the article protected.

I would like to add back the removal of Sylvain Charlebois' harrasment/bullying scandal. This story is public news, and was a big media event about a public personality, which is backed by various news sources. It was removed (likely by Sylvain Charlebois' himself) under the argument that this was "irrelevant information." However, this part of his bio was properly referenced, and a news-worthy story that caused him to resign from as Dean of a university. Nosfer ariel65 (talk) 21:59, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Why Will you not entertain this? It is a public media event about a public personality. Under which pretext is this mention about Sylvain Charlebois irrelevant?
In May 2018, Dalhousie University opened an investigation into complaints of bullying and harassment allegedly perpetrated by Charlebois during his tenure as Dean of the Faculty of Management. The University hired an external investigator to assess the complaints and to provide a report to its President who suddendly resigned weeks after the investigation started.

Declined For starters, this is the kind of material that rapidly becomes a BLP violation, the reason for the protection. Next, you haven't even tried to discuss the change on the talk page. Even if it wasn't protected, an edit like this that has already drawn attention, and reverts, must be discussed on the talk page first. I don't see any good coming from dropping protection.

And sure the ones that edit the Basque Wiki are the ones who wrote that in the English Wiki.

Reason: User Ушкуйник keeps repeatedly reverting edits, deliberately erasing the history of Marie Bashkirtseff's Ukrainian origins and heritage. Marie Bashkirtseff was born and raised for some time in Gavrontsi near Poltava which is literally in the heart of Ukraine. Like the majority of people in Ukraine today, Bashkirtseff was of mixed ancestry – russian, Ukrainian, Crimean Tatar roots must have all been present in her lineage. She wasn't known as Ukrainian because there was no concept of Ukraine as a country back then. The Russian Empire didn't allow it to exist, suppressing all attempts at independence with its imperialistic force. So we can safely argue that today – and within the concept of decolonization of Ukrainian culture – we could define her origin as Ukrainian. However, user argues that "The only thing that connects her to Ukraine are today's borders". This statement quite obviously stems from the dangerous narrative of russian imperialism that is being used to justify russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine and repeated attempts to eradicate the Ukrainian nation and language. User clearly refuses to acknowledge the damage that's been inflicted on the Ukrainian culture by centuries of russian aggression and colonialism. They don't understand nor support the concept of decolonization. In the times when russian culture has become the symbol of destruction and attack on freedom, User continues to claim artists, writers, and other public figures of Ukrainian origin as russian, which only makes me think that User openly supports vladimir putin's claim that Ukraine is not a nation. Please, look into this. Thank you. 173.238.224.91 (talk) 15:16, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Multiple Pages

These 25 pages were protected by now absent editors (Hu12 missing since 2013, A.B. missing since 2018) (articles sorted by article name chronologically, not by editor):

These additional three pages possibly within this request (I've separated them from the above as they were protected by Herbythyme, still an active editor):

Reason: I'm not seeing any vandalism (or really any edits beyond the occasional lint cleanup by Bot or Gnome editors) on other months within the Spam blacklist/whitelist series with lower levels of some protection. Other pages in the 2007-2012 range appear to have Extended protection. However, most of the more recent (2013-2021) pages appear to have no protection and also have few to no edits. I'm seeing the occasional vandal edit (all reverted), on a few of these unprotected, but nothing justifying any of these blacklist/whitelist pages starting off with, or remaining at, Full protection. Would a reduction in protection for the above 28 pages to either Semi or Extended protection be appropriate?

My other main reason for asking for a reduction on these pages is that I'd like to completely correct all remaining Lint Errors from the MediaWiki Talk category and be done with them in one or two final edits. I have Extended confirmed edit permission, and pages similar to the above that I've fixed in the last few days I've seen 3 or more Bot edits fixing some of the issues on each page, but not fixing other Lint errors within. I came behind them and fully cleared them of all remaining issues in one or two edits. I've taken the Obsolete tag lint errors on MediaWiki talk pages from 2700 countable* errors down to under 600 remaining. The 28 pages I'm requesting above comprise of 450 of the remaining 600 countable* Lint errors in this Mediawiki section, and I'd like to be able to finish them all off before moving on to another task.

(*all error counts top out at 21 per type of error per page, so these pages likely have more than 21 errors within each of them)

If this is not a reasonable request, or there are any questions, let me know. Additionally, if I need to ask the active editor who protected those last three pages either separately from this request, or prior to that portion of my request being completed, I will do so. I just thought since those three pages were of identical nature as the others in this request, that I'd lump them in here.

Okay, I see what you mean. But I don't think protection is warranted for that. While, in my view, you're right that those should match the current title, it isn't vital, in that the reader gets the same information (just in a different order). So, it's an editorial decision that, if needed, you can bring up on the talk page; if there's an impasse, you can use a WP:DRR, like WP:3O or an WP:RFC; if there's edit warring, you can submit a report to WP:AN3.

Add these lines "Historians such as Fritz Fischer and John Röhl highlight the fact that the war was desired by the German leadership, who were convinced that it was preferable to a status quo that was considered humiliating for Germany. On the other hand, some authors believe that the Allies did everything to provoke Germany." before the paragraph entitled "Expansion of violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina". The reason for my request is that the whole page is biased toward the classical and mainstream explanation for the cause of World War one. The other explanation mentioned in the lines I'd like to be added is coming from two renowned historians. One is German Fritz Fisher and the other is British John Rohl. Both have wiki pages that assess what I write (https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Fritz_Fischer and https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/John_C._G._R%C3%B6hl) Freddy2222 (talk) 20:02, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary is currently in the midst of a Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza virus outbreak that has led to the death and depopulation of 100's of animals. It is contended by staff that this outbreak was mismanaged by current administration and is compounded by current administration firing key staff for management of the outbreak.

This page has undergone multiple edits to appear to accuse the Founder, Founding Family, and Staff of telling lies, breaking the law, and engaging in other objectionable activities. This appears to specifically to favor the current President and Board of Noah's Ark while discrediting the staff and founding family members who have challenged them.

Specifically note edits made by IPs: 2601:152:C180:14D0:D5B6:4508:FC2F:F54C, 72.228.171.56, and 107.126.125.17 which contained these false or biased accusations without accurate references. These edits have been undone to a factual presentation of Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary.

Reason: To Whom It May Concern

Roger Woodward AC OBE, now nearly eighty, is an internationally celebrated classical pianist, composer, conductor and teacher. He is also a human rights activist who was persecuted from the 1980s by the Soviet Union due to his involvement with the Polish Solidarity Movement. The harassment continues today in his personal life and in media publications.

His Wikipedia article is therefore important because such an entry offers the opportunity to present an objective set of facts, some of which involve music history of which he forms part.

Recent editing by users Afterwriting and Cullen328 moved important information about him from the opening paragraph to a demeaning subsection entitled "Artistic reputation" which is difficult to find in other Wikipedia entries concerning people with similar international standing to Roger Woodward. The incidental information which replaced the original is more appropriate to the personal life section where it originally appeared. As Lpro93, I deleted it because it does not reflect the entrant's international standing.

Every part of Lpro93 's deleted opening statement is supported by letters and testimonies from the foremost musicians of our time as well as prominent critics, musicologists and composers. Their published statements were ignored by users Afterwriting and Cullen328, thus effectively severing important historical facts vital to the entry and its introductory paragraph.

Mr. Elroy Palmer MBE (Woodward's foster son) normally carries the letters of his award conferred by Queen Elizabeth II but was deleted by the editor Afterwriting. Mr. Palmer was a victim and suffered collateral damage due to the same political persecution.

In the Honors section the link of the Gloria Artis (gold class) medal was deleted as well as “Republic of ” Poland and after a French award, appropriately, “Republic of “ France. Such awards were conferred by governments who describe themselves in this way.

The recent moving around of information by Afterwriting and Cullen328 is misleading for readers and obstructs a fair and accurate statement of facts concerning Roger Woodward's entry. Afterwriting and Cullen328 refused to discuss their usage of a small c in their spelling of Sydney Conservatorium. Ongoing refusal to discuss these and other matters with me over a prolonged period of time is not collegial. Lpro93 (talk) 02:04, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Not done Cullen328 is rightly attempting to tone down signficiant WP:NPOV issues you've introduced into the article. Those edits are far from vandalism, and I'd recommend that you stop characterizing them as such. OhNoitsJamie Talk 02:18, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent edits from an anonymous (IP address) user removing sections about Rubin's controversial role in UAE jailing of human rights activist, accusations by the Intercept of Rubin "planting" stories, and his extensive writings on Ethiopia.

The edits appear to be by Mr Rubin himself or someone keen to hide his controversies, and violate Wikipedia's "conflict of interest" policy.

There is a lot of misinformation circulating in the mainstream media about a free concert that happened in 9th of September 2022 by Tarkan. Because mainstream media extremely overestimated the number of participants in the concert, people (which initially included me and I got corrected) adds the concert to the chart sourcing the aforementioned mainstream media articles. This results in a lot of edit warring and reversing, I believe a temporary semi protection should be enabled on this article because most of the wrong edits are made by either new accounts or IP's.

Reason: Continuing changes of the infobox image, without a consensus. A month's long protection, with the longstanding image in place, would be preferable. Indeed such a long protection would encourage consensus to be reached on an image. GoodDay (talk) 00:26, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Long-term semi-protection please. I fully protected it last March during an edit war but have expressed an opinion and would prefer that someone else protect now.

An image was added showing a dead pigeon, something that is not mentioned in the document. An RfC was held here. It was closed on 19 April 2022 as "clear consensus to delete the image" after nine deletes and one keep. Someone is dedicating a lot of time and single-purpose IPs/accounts to reinstate the image.

Reason: "Talk pages are not usually protected, and are semi-protected only for a limited duration in the most severe cases of vandalism." Seems wholly excessive to apply semi-protection for a week on a heavily-visited talk page where any vandalism would be quickly reverted in any case. Also means IP and new users can't "edit Wikipedia right now!" on a very high-profile topic, *even by making an edit-semi-protected* request. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 20:49, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Declined Opinion noted. Based on previous experience, existing issues, and the fact that accounts are free and the bar to become autoconfirmed is quite low, Wikipedia's best interest are served by keeping the protection. Dennis Brown - 20:53, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
The bar to autoconfirmed status is pretty high here -- or might as well be arbitrarily so -- as it's even long than would take for the semi-protection to expire. Unless yet-further extended, of course. Struggling to see the basis in policy, need, or common sense here. (Granting that 'limited" and 'most severe' are fuzzy enough to be construed to mean 'any time we like', if one were so inclined.) 109.255.211.6 (talk) 21:01, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
I've seen talk pages semi-protected for long periods of time if the signal-to-noise ratio from IPs is consistently high enough that it's needed to sort the wheat from the chaff or to snuff out persistent biographical violations IPs keep trying to push. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 21:10, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the additional eyeballs-on. A week still seems like a long time to me (albeit clearly this is going to be the mandatory only news item in the UK for the next fortnight or so). Especially as a say compared to the WP mission-statement of 'edit now' (rather than 'maybe Thursday, all going well'). Is there no case for removing the protection on a 'trial' basis, to see if the talk-page vandalism is still so heavy as to be disruptive and hard to manage, or if the initial surge got bored and left over the weekend? 109.255.211.6 (talk) 00:15, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
What is so hard about creating an account? Running an open website would be desirable except for the incredible waste of other people's time that sometimes results. Johnuniq (talk) 00:39, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
I believe I covered that point already. If the policy as stated isn't desirable, I can see the argument for changing it, but that seems somewhat beyond the scope of this specific request. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 01:25, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
There'd be no case and no point as the protection ends in 72 hours. The big issue is WP:Biographies of living persons, which is why the talk page was protected in the first place (Elizabeth II still gets BLP protections for a short while following HM's departure) and which is the main reason as to why there's so much hesitancy to this request. The logs have a history of BLP violations being RevDel'd off the talk page, and with her state funeral in the news the likelihood BLP issues are going to be a thing is going to remain elevated for a bit. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 01:47, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Please check the page from before the big revert! The content was heavily biased. I ask you to reconsider protection based on the facts that:
This person is taking part in a very dramatic election and will be the target of very skewed defamatory editing (as it already was before).
It will be heavily targeted up until the election.
People have already been influenced by what was written previously and it speaks to how people are manipulated on non-neutral things like Facebook and other social media.

Contrary to what you believe to be true, Owellorthanothy, school articles are one of the most popular vandal targets. Unfortunately this vandalism tends to include BLP violations, attacks against specific children in the school and vile falsehoods regarding the teachers. The vandalism that led me to add pending changes to this article weren't quite as drastic, but it was persistent. I don't see any benefit to removing the protection - any good edits still get in and the bad ones are kept out. There is no downside.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 16:03, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Currently, Byron Castillo is being embroiled in a controversy regarding his identity, which is very important considering Ecuador is the upcoming team to play the first game in 2022 World Cup against Qatar. While Byron is officially recognised to be from Ecuador, it has been speculated that he is an illegal immigrant from Colombia playing for Ecuador with tacit cover-up by the Ecuadorian authorities.

FIFA has already announced a new investigation in September, with the final decision to come in early October. This has led to recent vandalism about his birthplace by various football supporters, likely from Chile. A necessary temporary protection that lasts until mid-October is needed until the final decision is announced by FIFA's Court. HiddenFace101 (talk) 18:58, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: User Ушкуйник keeps repeatedly reverting edits, deliberately erasing the history of Marie Bashkirtseff's Ukrainian origins and heritage. Unfortunately, I can not engage in a discussion with this user. Their history of edits across Wikipedia shows a clear and blatant disregard for Ukrainian history and cultural heritage. In light of the brutal suffering Russia has inflicted upon Ukraine – destroying Ukraine's schools, theatres, museums, and killing Ukrainian civilians, many of them children – it's rather obvious that Russia's goal is and has always been to erase Ukrainian national identity from history books. User Ушкуйник's edits across all pages play into the destructive narrative that Ukraine didn't exist as a nation with its own culture until 1991. This narrative was used to justify the atrocities being committed by Russia and its army in Ukraine today. I know it may not be obvious to all, but this issue is political. Please, look into this user's history of edits and protect the pages that have been vandalized. And please, I beg you, don't advise me to engage in a discussion with the aforementioned user as I consider them one of the many perpetrators of the cultural genocide in Ukraine.

Already protected by administrator Ks0stm. Less Unless (talk) 07:15, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: The protection, regarding Cambodia national team, is really absurd and illogical at best. We can seek protection if this is related to Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Robert Lewandowski, but it is weird when a semi-protection at all level is appointed to Cambodia, a nation which stands 174 in the recent FIFA ranking. We have no idea about which players from Cambodia are really famous, for their reputation unknown beyond their native country. It's like if we suggest San Marino or Bahamas to receive protection.

It seems the original sock hasn't been active in a couple of years (at least in our SPI records). Pinging the protecting admin, Drmies to get their take on it. Dennis Brown - 23:48, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
User:Dennis Brown, I don't know of the top of my head, or by looking at the article history, who that was. Ha, it seems like protection worked, though! So I don't know. If they're gone, great. But I don't drop indefinite protection for no reason at all, and as Malcolm says, that longterm socking wasn't addressed. In fact, I don't think the editor understand why we protect articles. What world ranking some team has is completely irrelevant. In other words, I think the request does not have much merit, but with something from many years ago it's hard for me right now to judge whether protection is still necessary--I'm inclined to roll along with you, though, so go ahead and unprotect; I support your decision. Drmies (talk) 04:11, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Reasoning for page protection was over a sockpuppet 10 years ago. As far as I can see, the sockpuppeteer appears to be inactive since so unless I got that wrong, I don't see why this article should still be protected. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 14:38, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Declined there has been recent socking. Our documenting of socks isn't perfect, and often, the same person will be listed as two or more "masters" simply because SPI isn't an exact art. Even with protection, some slip in after amassing enough edits to be autoconfirmed, but it would be worse without the protection. Dennis Brown - 11:10, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Page protection is no longer warrented due to it having the exact opposite effect than it was suppsoed to. The page hasn't been edited at all since it has been protected, and is missing a lot of vital information about the park. The ride list is also heavily outdated. There are rides are listed in the ride chart that aren't there anymore, as well as rides that are now at the park that are not listed on the chart.

TL;DR, page should be unprotected so editors that don't have accounts, and know info about the park can edit the page to make it up to date. Thank you, and please let me know if you have any questions. 24.188.113.103 (talk) 06:01, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Declined - The issue was the inclusion of unencyclopedic material, and large amounts of it. The quality of an article isn't determined by how many new edits there are. The fact that it is stable is likely a good thing. So you are mistaken in thinking the protection had the opposite effect that was supposed to have, as it appears to be working as advertised.

Reason: Can you please unlock this page early? 2025 is still a long time and the page was locked due to vandalism. I didn't vandalized the page. This is before I started editing on Wikipedia. There are a few mistakes in this page and I want to fix it. Not to mention although you won't let me do it, they're are no storyboard artists credited for season 1 although the other seasons have the storyboard artists included. Side note: The directors, writers and storyboard artists are all credited in the credits since the opening credits and the title card doesn't credit the writer, director or storyboard artist in the main titles, it was a common practice for Disney shows (other examples include Kim Possible, Gravity Falls, etc.). Can you unlock the page early so I can fix the mistakes? 69.255.225.138 (talk) 18:26, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason: This page and our article about film director Nicole Dorsey have both been subject to a regular barrage of vandalism, adding offensive and insulting claims about the subjects, for months and months, most recently just a few hours ago. They've both been placed under short-term semi-protection several times this year already, but sometime after the protection expires the same editor inevitably comes back to try again. They're not necessarily always on the same IP every time, which is why IP blocking isn't effective, but it's clearly always the same person, because it's always the same shit about Dorsey supposedly squirting chocolate milk from her mulatta nipples and Banzhaf supposedly supplementing her acting income with side work in a much, much, much older profession if you get my drift.

The administrator who dealt with today's flareup sprotted Dorsey for six months, but the different administrator who dealt with Banzhaf only applied a few days -- and while the same IP also usually tends to shit on Black Conflux, a film Dorsey directed which had Banzhaf in its cast, the reason they couldn't get at it today is that I sprotted it for three months in the August flareup so they won't be able to get at it until November.

So, since this is a longstanding issue which two different administrators have already deemed serious enough to warrant escalating to longer-term protection on the other two related pages, I feel it's also necessary to bump Banzhaf's protection up to something longer than just three to four days.

SatDis, I'm not sure if this is really vandalism; it's at least not the type of "obvious" vandalism that's exempt from the edit warring policy.
As enforcing a discussion with IP address hopping editors is tough to do otherwise, I have semi-protected the page for a month.

Reason: Full protection because the RfA is past the deadline and people are still commenting. I believe it should be fully protected until a bureaucrat can officially close it. NoahTalk 23:57, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Declined The discussion stays open for further comments until a bureaucrat starts the closing procedure. One week is the minimum time for discussion, not a deadline. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 00:13, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
@Paul Erik: That's at the discretion of bureaucrats and only for exceptional circumstances. In exceptional circumstances, bureaucrats may extend RfAs beyond seven days or restart the nomination to make consensus clearer. Either way, someone has to do something. As worded, it seems as if seven days is a deadline unless the bureaucrats see it fit to extend the discussion further. If that's not the intention of the wording, then it may be wise to amend it. NoahTalk 00:27, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
You're welcome to inform the 'crats at WP:BN (noting, of course, the message ref overdue RfAs) — as it stands, there's nothing wrong with what's going on at the RfA, and any delays is purely down to a lack of (active) 'crats — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 00:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
[after edit conflict] @Hurricane Noah: It's been the case, for as long as I've observed RfAs, that the end of the seven days (168 hours) is not a hard deadline for the ending of discussion. You can make a request at WP:BN, but you'll see that at the top of the page it says: If you are here to report that an RFA or an RFB is "overdue" or "expired", please wait at least 12 hours from the scheduled end time before making a post here about it. That note reflects the consensus that 168 hours is not a hard deadline. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 00:49, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Mifter - after this request was declined, the latest IP continued with the same disruptive edit. I am not sure it is vandalism, and I have just warned the latest IP for edit-warring, but was hoping for page protection to be applied for a third time because of the apparent IP-hopping and persistent disruption. Beccaynr (talk) 02:33, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up, Beccaynr. I read some of the sources and the term "government official" does appear in a few of them. In contrast, the IP's change to "government servant" does not appear to be backed up by sources. Therefore, I have restored the term "government official" in the lede and added a cite (the lede does not normally need cites, however, if something is controversial (as this appears to be), they can be included). If the IP continues to revert without engaging they can (and likely will) be blocked for edit warring or making unsourced changes (unless they can provide a source for "government servant," in which case there should probably be a discussion for which term to use). Protection may also be warranted, however, I would defer to another Sysop to make that determination as to avoid any appearance of being WP:INVOLVED. Best, Mifter (talk) 05:01, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Thank you very much, Mifter, and I have reported to ANEW - I also now realize that I could have linked to MOS:LEAD instead of writing "wikify" in the edit summary to support the other part that various IPs have been disruptively editing despite warnings. I did cite MOS:FIRSTBIO in December 2021 [69] and November 2021 [70], fwiw. Thanks again, Beccaynr (talk) 05:14, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

User:Dr_vulpes, I approved the article for main space last night! I spent several hours cleaning up the grammar, improving references etc. I named it jamovi (software). Question please, Sdrqaz, what is the disambiguation you are referring to? What should I do to fix it? I have never encountered what you are describing in my past several years as an AfC reviewer. Thank you for any suggestions you can provide!--FeralOink (talk) 16:00, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
"(software)" is the disambig that is unnecessary, so it needs to be moved to the primary target, Jamovi, and I guess you can either use the Jamovi (software) as a disambig (really not needed) or request CSD for it, as housekeeping. Dennis Brown - 16:14, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Hiya. There are no other articles called "Jamovi". We usually only add brackets in article titles (disambiguation) if there is more than one article with the same name (Love Poem [EP] and "Love Poem" [song], for example). As a result, keeping the article at Jamovi (software) is unnecessary disambiguation and it can be moved to just Jamovi. I wouldn't advise requesting deletion for Jamovi (software), as {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} is a perfectly fine reason for creating a redirect. Just moving it will solve the problem.

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Per WP:BDP, BLP rules can continue to serve a recently deceased subject for some months after death. Given the lengthy list of vandalism and attacks to this page, the extensive protection history, and the abrupt and recent ending of this subject's life, I see no compelling reason to lower current protection level at this time.

@Uni3993: It appears that article has no edit protection but is fully protected against moving. On libertarian grounds it might be argued that the 2013 move protection is not needed but I'm a pragmatist: is there a reason related to benefiting the encyclopedia that move protection should be removed? Article talk shows some drama in 2017 related to the title but no substantive comments since August 2021. Johnuniq (talk) 07:00, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
@Johnuniq: I was thinking this article can be argued to be renamed Mac, so for future I think the move protection should therefore be moved for the future Uni3993 (talk) 07:09, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
Yes but the procedure should be to discuss the proposal on article talk and ask for unprotection if there is some likelihood of a move being supported. The wrong thing to do would be getting it unprotected, then moving the article, then discussing it (given the earlier drama). Johnuniq (talk) 07:29, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

25 September 2022

Reason: Short: - Coordinated wikipedia vandalism. Maybe a lock until after the election on Oct 24? There are social media threads encouraging people to make malicious edits and delete requests to several election pages and at least one company related to a candidate.

Longer explanation and pages that should also be considered: I requested semi-protection of a municipal election page after noticing edits to discredit a candidate that does anti-corruption work at Transparency International. The edit history had the comment "perennial candidate" which was outright false, and I couldn't find anything to support why they would have written that other than malice.

Coordinated wikipedia attacks happening, encouraging malicious edits and reports for deletion. This account isn't just hinting, I DM'd and asked about it and they said they're telling people to report the pages for deletion.

- https://twitter.com/nmbcanada

Here's one of the pages they link to "vote" for deletion.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stephen Punwasi

Perhaps revert and lock until the election, then have a more tempered discussion about it. There is also a discord, and facebook group asking for people with "aged and experienced' accounts to do the edits, which doesn't sound like the first time it's been done.

Pages that need protection until Oct 25:

- 2022 Toronto mayoral election (election)

- John Tory (incumbent candidate. Doesn't look impacted yet).

- "Gil Penalosa" I couldn't find a page, which seems weird. Deleted perhaps?

- Better Dwelling (page associated with candidate, subject to social media encouragement to vandalize and delete).

We depend on wikipedia for fair and accurate information. This is only a local election, but the effort to manipulate the public from slight changes of perception is disturbing. We should think of better protections in advanced of the upcoming US 2022 Midterm Primary Elections, or we risk turning the best knowledge engine ever developed into a propaganda tool. BudPenguin (talk) 17:45, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

2022 Toronto mayoral election is already protected. Neither John Tory or Better Dwelling show activity warranting protection at this time. Gil Penalosa is currently in draft space and in need of improvement before being returned to article space. I won't revert Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stephen Punwasi; the deletion is a valid outcome of the discussion even if we discount the two IPs with no editing history. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:43, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

information Note: There's no reason for full-protection at the moment; CFPR2021 is refusing to assume good faith towards an editor who made edits he personally disagrees with. There is a history vis a vis PR campaigns and anti-PR on the article; see Talk:Sylvain Charlebois#The situation at fr-wp for details.

This is not a "pro-Charlebois" message. This is about putting accurate information on Wikipedia. Every 12 months of so, someone goes back to this page to remind the wiki community of an investigation which amounted to nothing more than an acquittal. Charlebois' twitter account is also hacked very much at the same time as these campaigns on Wikipedia. But some persist to keep these accusations alive and out in the public only to damage Charlebois' reputation. This page needs to be deleted. CFPR2021 (talk) 22:25, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
Weren't you the one accusing your opponent in this dispute of working for the dairy lobby? Seems an odd thing for someone who claims to not be in the pro-Charlebois camp to do. Twitter is irrelevant here, and as has been pointed out to you the investigation isn't as prominent in the article and is better sourced than it has been in the past. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 23:31, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Unprotection: The page was protected for the reason "Arbitration enforcement", but the reason for protection in the protection log does not state what arbitration enforcement is in effect nor does it link to a page that describes the arbitration enforcement. The protecting administrator is inactive. FAdesdae378 (talk · contribs) 21:14, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Comment. I see WP:ARBPIA mentioned in the edit immediately preceding the protection so I assume it's that. Am I right in thinking that arbitration enforcement protection should be appealed at WP:AE? -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:01, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
I don't think that page protection is actually an AE function, although sometimes pages are protected because of an AE report. In this case, the admin didn't even link the report, so as far as I am concerned, it was a normal admin action that came about due to problems that arose at AE. NeilN hasn't edited in a few years, so it should be decided upon it's own merits without consideration to Arb restrictions. At least that is my take on it, as an admin that has done a fair amount of AE work. Dennis Brown - 22:09, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
As soon as I did that, I decided to check the log, and yes, this was a logged action, so yes, I guess it should be appealed at WP:AE. ECP protection, which doesn't require logging, unless you want to FORCE the issue to go to WP:AE. Not a choice I would have made. Dennis Brown - 22:11, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
Given NeilN's current status, administrators are free to modify sanctions placed by former administrators. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:01, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
@Dennis Brown: Yeah. I eschew AE logged actions. Don't want to tie the hands of my colleagues. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 10:19, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
The problem is that linked clause: "All actions designated as arbitration enforcement actions, including those alleged to be out of process or against existing policy, must first be appealed following arbitration enforcement procedures to establish if such enforcement is inappropriate before the action may be reversed or formally discussed at another venue.", which tells me it must go to AE, if we are to be bureaucratic here. Dennis Brown - 10:39, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
I think it is most assuredly ARBPIA; just check the article (especially the part about the his views on Jews and Zionism). Also, I do not think that just forgetting to put a link to the correct arbitration enforcement is enough grounds for unprotection, and I do not see that AE would unprotect on these grounds either. I would decline the unprotect request. Lectonar (talk) 11:10, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Arbitration enforcement / discretionary sanctions are irrelevant for this request, as Sdrqaz has correctly pointed out. I have now clarified this in the protection log. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:32, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
  • FAdesdae378, your request does not seem to provide a reason for unprotection. If I see correctly, the article subject has died less than 48 hours ago, and the original protection was built on an experience of disruption in this topic area. Due to the additional attention the article is currently receiving, lowering the protection would be too early yet. You may like to ask again in a few months. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:47, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Not done two recent changes apparently of concern [89][90] are not unquestionable vandalism. If something needs to be done, it would be the IP (or it's /64 range), since it's a single person, and per the protection policy we shouldn't be protecting it but blocking that IP or IP range.

The date of his exile should start from his arrival in Russia.
