2023 Indian Premier League

Reason: A lot of unregistered accounts are disrupting the article.

MNWiki845 (talk) 3:30, 31 March 2023 (IST)

Question: @MNWiki845: I don't see any obviously disruptive edits from IPs within the past 48 hours, can you be more specific and provide diffs? I don't see anything overwhelming enough to warrant page protection. Aoidh (talk) 10:06, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 20:42, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Edit-warring by IP - on both this article and T-64, they have been reverted by 4 separate editors, but continue to reinstate their preferred version against consensus. Loafiewa (talk) 14:31, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

User(s) blocked: 199.7.156.0/23 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. from the two articles for a week. Daniel Case (talk) 21:03, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Long-term abuse. 109.98.208.44 (talk) 22:56, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

David Hundeyin

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Continued disruption by ip addresses after unprotection; perhaps encouraged by the subject [1]. Morbidthoughts (talk) 00:03, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:09, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Plaid Army

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – IPs trying to remove criticism, white wash the page. CT55555(talk) 17:57, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Not sure pc is needed at this time, though. El_C 04:17, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Bard (chatbot)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. PopoDameron ⁠talk 18:27, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 04:12, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Fighter (2024 film)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Multiple drive-by unsourced/likely incorrect changes to cast listing by IPs and new accounts, possibly socks of 'SuperSharanya'. Film is planned to be released in January 2024. Would be helpful to get semi-protection through that month.  — Archer1234 (t·c) 19:00, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 04:08, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Rolf (campus cat)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Edit warring by editor refusing to get consensus on the talk page for disputed content (they're currently at 3RR). There's also been blanket restoring of WP:RSP listed problem sources as part of this. KoA (talk) 19:12, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Note: Page has been nominated for deletion; maybe we should let that play out. Daniel Case (talk) 21:26, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
That was my initial thought too, though the escalation at the page has gotten pretty bad with the RSP-related sources and ignoring the talk page going on. If problems are going to continue, it'd probably be apparent within the next 12 hours, so it would be helpful for folks to keep an eye out. Just a 24-48 hour protection with that AfD is going on could help settle down the reverting too. KoA (talk) 22:11, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
Already protected by administrator Johnuniq. El_C 04:06, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Indictment of Donald Trump

Reason: Almost certain to attract vandalism. Brad (talk) 21:29, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. Logged AE action. I nearly always decline preemptive protection requests, but I am granting this one and setting its duration not to expire (which does not mean infinite, however). Noting, though, that this is the first preemptive protection I've made in 2023, after having made none in 2022, and only one in 2021 (Jill Biden from none to indef semi upon Joe Biden assuming the presidency). El_C 04:04, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

David Butler (footballer, born 1945)‎

Reason: Repeated addition of unsourced content from multiple editors. GiantSnowman 17:38, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 04:25, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Winnipeg Police Service

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Magnolia677 (talk · contribs) has immediately returned to his/her behaviour of deleting content once the protection expired - despite efforts to address his/her concerns. Reported at 3RR but protection would stop this tendentious behaviour. 10mmsocket (talk) 22:27, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

  • This looks like an instance where WP:Boomerang should be applied. It completely misrepresents what is going on in the article. Magnolia667's inquiry about the use of unreliable sources in the article at RSN was validated, not rejected. There is nothing improper about removing unsourced text - that's how BRD is supposed to work. Edit warring to restore unsourced and unreliably sourced text without any effort to discuss it - which is what 10mmsocket has repeatedly done on this article, on the other hand, is a sanctionable problem. Banks Irk (talk) 23:05, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
Not done. OP Warned. 10mmsocket, you cannot insist on including unsourced content, even with {{cn}} attached, once its verifiability had been objected to. The WP:BURDEN, indeed, is on you. El_C 03:58, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Dinesh Kumar (chemist)

Reason: Repeated addition of unsourced information in violation of WP:BLP. Actualcpscm (talk) 23:50, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Corporate Memphis

Indefinite semi-protection: Content Dispute/Edit Warring. High levels of recent WP:POV pushing by IP editors and editors with very low edit counts. Top5a (talk) 17:42, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. El_C 04:22, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
The vandalism keeps persisting from IP users who do not engage elsewhere on Wikipedia. They (perhaps even the same actual person) edit the page from a random IP, and then disappear. This is why I requested semi-protection, as there is no way in which to engage on these users. The Talk page is a clear no Wikipedia:Consensus, and these IP users keep engaging in Wikipedia:POVPUSH, when the article is about as balanced as it can be (utilizing all the sources). Over half the sources clearly use the term that is in dispute. Top5a (talk) 20:09, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Untitled Godzilla vs. Kong sequel

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP keeps restoring unsourced material due to April fools. Armegon (talk) 04:53, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing by various IPs and newly registered users that continued the moment the page protection expired. Turaids (talk) 08:02, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:35, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Polarr

Reason: As the owners of the business that this page is about, Polarr, Inc, we want to be able to freely edit the page with significant company updates.

The account that we are submitting this request from is owned by the Head of Operations of the company, Polarr. Polarrinc (talk) 04:03, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Declined. Because you have a conflict of interest, you need to make edit requests on the talk page rather than editing the article directly—see Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide for more information. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:12, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Template:Extended Elements

Indefenite extended confirmed protection: So no-one can edit it except users that want to add elements (autoconfirmed can edit, not autoconfirmed need to place an edit request on the talk page). Diiinall (talk) 09:39, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ponyobons mots 14:41, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Jama_Masjid_Rahmaniya,_Bhairahawa_(Nepal)

Reason: I would like to request to protect this page from editing and would like to be a administrator for this page as I created this on behalf of Masjid Rahmaniya. Sahe Alam 12:36, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Note: Left requestor a note about WP:COI -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:48, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Video game developer

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – For some reason, this talk page has been a consistent target of disruptive editing by the most random IPs. I know talk pages are rarely protected, but so far this entire year there hasn't been a single discussion, only reverts. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 18:03, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:14, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Example Article Name

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because ....... . 75.33.254.53 (talk) 15:12, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

This is a highly biased and partisan synopsis based in ideology at the expense of actual empirical data. It’s abhorrent, and false and wikipedia should be ashamed of protecting such hateful falsities on its platform. I request that the protections be removed immediately.

Interleague play

Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – IP editor keeps adding unsourced claims to the page. O.N.R. (talk) 18:41, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Question: Old Naval Rooftops, they've now added a source, does it suffice? El_C 04:09, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
No, it doesn't; the source specifically states "among the teams with no geographic interleague rivals", which contradicts the claim the IP editor is trying to make. O.N.R. (talk) 10:23, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 20:34, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Far right radicalist

Reason: I do not believe Marjorie Taylor Greene should be listed as a "Far Right Radicalism" She was a respected Congresswoman and if "radical" means supporting a past President, then the verbiage used against her is wrong. I wish to add some Conservative, positive, text to her page. Many Conservatives, 75%, view her as only a prominent voice for our U.S. Constitution. The current case against President Trump has seen many prominent lawyers and even guests on CNN saying the case is too political. Marjorie has fought hard against issues such as this. I hope you allow me to add some rebuttal arguments to the characterization of her actions. I have donated to Wikipedia many times. I use your site often. I am politically independent. I do not pick sides. I believe both parties have done some good. But I also believe both parties have done some wrong. Thank you for considering my request.

Talk:Peter Joseph (and Talk:Zeitgeist (film series))

You (User:Maile66) protected this page in March 2017 due to persistent vandalism that also affected Talk:The Zeitgeist Movement and Talk:Zeitgeist (film series). Do you believe continued protection of the talk pages is warranted? 67.180.143.89 (talk) 23:14, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

@Materialscientist: I see you semi-protected the Peter Joseph article in Jan 2012 as indef. I was not an admin in that year. I did the same to the talk page in March 2017. Do you have a recommendation of what we should do here? The same above IP has made numerous requests for reduction in protection over at WP:RFUP — Maile (talk) 23:48, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
Yes, because talk pages shouldn't stay protected indefinitely without cause. No agenda beyond that. The date that I originally gave is intended and correct. 67.180.143.89 (talk) 00:11, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
I've added a note to your requests at Current requests for reduction in protection level. It makes sense to have all these addressed at one time, perhaps as a group. — Maile (talk) 00:18, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
Respectfully, I believe Talk:Peter Joseph is your call based on your recollection of the circumstances. That's why I came to you in accordance with the instructions on RFUP. 67.180.143.89 (talk) 00:34, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
I prefer it be dealt with here, since 2017 was too long to remember why it happened. Whoever resolves the rest of the listings for you, can also deal with this one. You can either accept that, or not, but I defer to admins here. — Maile (talk) 01:00, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
I'll go ahead and incorporate Talk:Zeitgeist (film series) under this same request. The movement article has already been addressed. 67.180.143.89 (talk) 01:13, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
Zeitgeist (film series) was protected by Georgewilliamherbert in 2015 for "Persistent sock puppetry". — Maile (talk) 14:55, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
Unprotected both, per WP:ATPROT. Zeitgeist hasn't been protected in four years and talk pages shouldn't be protected at a higher level than their accompanying subject pages (except in extraordinary circumstances). George also hasn't edited in over half a year. Sdrqaz (talk) 13:35, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Reason: No ongoing reason to protect. The page was protected in November 2016 due to "persistent sock puppetry" although I personally don't see evidence of either, just two oversight actions more than a year apart. User:Mike V is no longer an admin. 67.180.143.89 (talk) 04:59, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Hamat Gader

Reason: To determine whether protection remains necessary. This page was protected in April 2016 when an arbitration ruling imposed a general ban on edits from new users. That is no longer the case, and IP vandalism on the page appears not to have been unmanageable except for a few days before the protection. Protecting admin User:Ian.thomson is on break. 67.180.143.89 (talk) 15:50, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Maybe I'm mistaken about the terms of the current arbitration ruling, but some of the main articles related to the conflict (e.g. the "Israeli-Palestinian conflict" article itself) do not have their talk pages protected. 67.180.143.89 (talk) 18:56, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
That is because enforcement via protection is intended to only be done once those pages become problem spots, primarily for logistical reasons. Also, prots under PIA 500/30 can't be unilaterally overturned here; you need to register an account, get auto-confirmed, and request at WP:ARCA. —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 21:06, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

al-Lat

Reason: Request indefinite semi-protection. This article is about a pre-Islamic goddess worshiped in Arabia and the Levant. It is regularly vandalized to remove statements to the effect that she was a goddess, or worshiped in Arabia, or regarded as the wife or daughter of Allah, or other facts that are taken to be incompatible with Islam. Most of the edits are made by IP editors or inexperienced users with little or no history of editing other articles, or constructive edits anywhere. A majority of the edits made to this article for several years have been disruptive, and reverted. Pending-changes protection might be an alternative, but would probably not discourage attempted vandalism. In any event, this is a long-term situation, and unlikely to be resolved by temporary protection. P Aculeius (talk) 03:11, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Disruption isn't heavy enough for semi-protection. Pending-changes is actually rather effective at preventing vandalism, as the version doesn't go "live" with the edit, but is reviewed. Lectonar (talk) 10:39, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: This might be pre-mature, but requesting an indefinite semi protection for this page. The reason being is that I am suspecting there will be a lot of unsourced changes by IPs by changing Earth-616 to 199999 all because of a throwaway Easter egg line in the latest Across The Spiderverse trailer.

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – Due to the Trump arrest, this page has been highly vandalized. Gtgamer79 (talk) 17:01, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Really, things have been under control since yesterday. And asking for indefinite ECP for a page never previously protected, even given that it comes under two contentious topics, is a bit of a tall order. Daniel Case (talk) 18:56, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Falun_Gong

Reason: It is significantly POV towards the topic, it is a controversial topic, it is prone to brigading and TIGERing, and should be protected to some extent to allow NPOV form and maintenance. Keith D. Tyler 18:42, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Declined Not only is this request CRYSTAL, if you'd look at the talk page you'd see that, as the central page in a decade-old ArbCom case, it is already under contentious topic restrictions, including 1RR and enforced BRD. If further protection is felt to be necessary, it really would be better discussed at Arbitration Enforcement. Daniel Case (talk) 18:51, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Little to no good content is ever added by non confirmed users and lots of bad. I still have pending changes, not semi-protection. But the vandlism vs. good edits ratio is far over 1 @Kinu Starship 24 (talk) 21:44, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
As Kinu said, there is not enough recent activity to justify protection. Protecting an article who's last edit was made last year is unnecessary. If further, more recent disruption occurs, request protection again. 47.227.95.73 (talk) 21:46, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

User:Katefan0/Talk4 plus two

Unprotection: These three pages have Tidy font errors and other WP:lint within, and their other talkpage archives are not protected and not experiencing any issues. I'd like access to address these lint errors as I've done for multiple other pages recently. These pages were selfprotected by the user, and the user has been largely inactive since 2006 (they made a four comments in 2019 and 2020 to specific users on their talk pages, but have otherwise been gone). I don't feel a need to contact them due to this absence, and due to Fastily's July 2011 comment "Long gone user. Protection no longer necessary" when removing page protection to Katefan0's current talk page. I will ask on Katefan0's talk page if needed procedurally, but I'm not expecting to get a response if I were to do so. Zinnober9 (talk) 01:32, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Looney Tunes

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing by an anonymous user. The IP user has been warned about disruptively editing other articles as well, and they keep doing it. They also keep saving changes, before making more edits to the page when it'd just be easier to use the edit preview. I recommend at least a week of protection.

Unprotection: There is no real reason for this to be protected Starship 24 (talk) 19:36, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Question: Starship 24, for some reason you neglected to ask Wizardman, the protecting and still active admin, but, in light of his rationale for protecting, let me ask you: Is there a pragmatic (as opposed to ideological) reason why IPs/newbies should edit a page that's reserved for robotic maintenance? Favonian (talk) 20:04, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
No. However, the default is allow all editors. This is only changed when persistent vandlism warrants it. It is not the other way around. @Favonian Starship 24 (talk) 20:35, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
True, but if it is a page that only needs to be maintained by a bot, there is no reason for IP addresses to edit the page, so we are just opening up a page that doesn't need IP edits to potential vandals. 47.227.95.73 (talk) 21:26, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
Then why not full extended confirmed protection Starship 24 (talk) 21:42, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
If you feel the protection should be higher, then WP:RFPP is right around the corner. 47.227.95.73 (talk) 22:00, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
If it makes more sense to semi-protect to keep IPs and newly-registered users off a page that shouldn't need to be, and is never, edited by people, then why not do so? —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 22:06, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

En passant

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A quick perusal of the page's history shows that almost all edits to this page since the start of 2023 have been vandalism or reversions. Not especially frequent (generally a few times a week), but IMO the problem is widespread to justify protection.

I will note that the only one that has (apparent) suppressed edits seems to be IMF, and given the sorts of things that warrant suppression I think the major question with that article is whether or not the situation has evolved over the past four and a half years that unprotection can be tried. Key word there is "apparent" - the logs on the other two pages indicates there are also revdel'd edits there, but there's flat out no indication those edits were ever made, more consistent with the older form of suppression I'm familiar with. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 00:14, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Reason: In recent years, there has been a large amount of sockpuppet by undisclosed paid editors adding content in favor of Qatar and against Qatar opponents (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain). The sockfarms are primarily Radovicdarko538 and Bennet43 (AKA Orangemoody) and are active in English, French, and Arabic Wikipedia. We used to keep up with blocks, but since late 2020, they have increasingly moved to rotating residential proxies. That means that they use a different IP, usually from different ranges, for every single edit. I keep a more detailed account of this activity here and here. I think we should semi-protect the top pages targeted by this group. There are almost no recent significant contributions by unregistered editors in these, so I think collateral should be relatively low. Here's a subset I propose for semi-protections:

Maximum subarray problem

Reason: Please block User:Onewikibarnes from editing article Maximum subarray problem for persistent bad edits, (incorrect) original research, and WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT behavior which have required repeated reverts by multiple editors (myself and Jochen Burghardt). At this point I don't think more than protecting that one page from that one editor is necessary. I am too WP:INVOLVED to do more than merely requesting this myself. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:08, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

I have engaged User:David Eppstein in conversation on this page as much as possible. He discusses points about bad edits, but that are not bad edits and he keeps reverting changes that are succinct and accurate. The problem is a math problem that they've used source code to discuss. They have deliberately left the solution false in cases where the input is all negative numbers. I corrected the source code and he's consistently reverted the correction. This moved further when they simply tried to explain the incorrect behavior in the source code instead of simply fixing the source code.
A previous editor a few months ago tried to make this change as well, and User:David Eppstein responded with condescension. I've received the same condescension in these updates and minimal constructive dialogue. I tried to engage him further on my talk page with source code examples, but this context has not been addressed. In that regard User:David Eppstein has been farm more engaged in WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT behavior than me. Onewikibarnes (talk) 21:32, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
In fact, the solution presented in the article is not false in cases where the input is all negative numbers. That claim is symptomatic of Onewikibarnes's poor understanding. The actual situation is that, for all-negative arrays, there is more than one definition of what to do in different sources, and that the article (except in the versions badly edited by Onewikibarnes) presents and clearly distinguishes both of the standard definitions. According to one definition, the result should be an empty subarray, with sum zero. According to the other definition, empty subarrays are not allowed, and the sum should be the least negative of the remaining elements. This is the exact locus of Onewikibarnes's IDIDNTHEARTHAT behavior. Despite the clear statement of all of this on the article page, Onewikibarnes refuses to accept the empty-subarray-with-sum-zero solution, found in many sources, as "correct" and continues to edit-war to remove that solution from the article, instead reverting to an inconsistent and false version of the article that says it admits empty subarrays but actually presents code that uses the no-empty-subarrays version. This has been reverted multiple times, and Jochen Burghardt has worked hard to present this matter in an even more clear way on the article so that even Onewikibarnes might understand it, but to no avail; Onewikibarnes merely keeps reverting to their bad version. It is this repeated reversion, as well as the total lack of evidence that Onewikibarnes has improved their understanding at all, that convinces me that an article-specific block is required. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:47, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
I will first respond to this context and then get to User:Maile66's response.
User:David Eppstein is claiming that the all negative numbers scenario is my "poor understand" (I guess he insists on being condescending). He gives an explanation that's contrived and off-point. The explanation is off point and shows that there's no comprehension of a programmatic solution. I've provided code that proves this, but I'll state it here. If you're provided with an all negative array, there is, in fact a subset that is smallest in that array. It's essentially the negative number that's closest to zero. For example, in the array [-5, -7, -1, -2] the answer would be -1. You can't add any further negative numbers as this would be even less. In a non-positive array (containing a zero), the answer would be zero. In the case of the empty array (which programmatically is a very real and common input for programs) the code returned zero as well. There is no presence of numbers, hence a number shouldn't be returned. This is a common case of no input provided a no output response is given. In programmatic turns this is referred to as null (None in Python which is the code used in the example). Empty input in a program does not return a valid output. Any software developer would tell you this is a horrible thing to do. You respond with no-output can be given. You put nothing in, you get nothing out. In both these cases User:David Eppstein keeps insisting that a solution that returns 0 is correct, and then is attempting to explain it away with specious reasoning instead of actually fixing the code. I'm not failing to understand anything. His reasoning just isn't sound, and insists that he's correct. Why? Who knows...
Furthermore, I'd like to point out that User: Yongli Dai made the exact same correction in April 6 of 2022 and received the same pejorative response.
I came to this article as I was doing this exact problem in LeetCode and trying to check my work. I noticed it failed for some of the exact inputs that they made. I made the fix and immediately received a response of "what part of <x> don't you understand". Not engaged in constructive dialogue. Not an attempt to explain the position (it's said that this escalation is the most explanation I've received from User:David Eppstein on the issue). Simply put, snide and nasty response dripping with hubris. This is not how we want Wikipedia content editing to occur. This will turn off contributors. User:David Eppstein keeps saying that I'm in engaging in IDIDNTHEART behavior, however if you look at the dialogue and points I've addressed every single one of the points he's brought, he has not done the same, just stuck to his position that the wrong answer is right.

I'm a software engineer with over twenty years experience at enterprise software corporations. This code would be rejected immediately in any submission. Onewikibarnes (talk) 01:39, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
Answer demonstrates clearly that Owb continues to fail to get the point. In an all-negative array like Owb's example [-5, -7, -1, -2] the subarrays and their values are [] with sum 0 (see empty sum), [-5] with sum -5, [-7] with sum -7, [-1] with sum -1, [-2] with sum -2, [-5,-7] with sum -12, etc. Note that the sum 0 of the empty subarray [] is a bigger number than the sum -1 of the answer Owb states. Some of the sources on the problem (including, importantly, the original sources for the algorithm our article describes) define it in a way that allows [] to be the optimum. When they do so, the result should be 0, because its sum is bigger than the other numbers one can get in this way Some other sources disallow [] as being considered to be a subarray, and instead return -1, the sum that is least negative. Owb continues to insist that there can be only one answer (despite the fact that our sources have two different definitions), and to leave the article in a broken state where the text says that [] is allowed as a subarray but the code returns -1. It is not a content dispute, at least not in the sense that Owb has any claim of validity to their preferred content. It is much closer to WP:CHEESE. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:39, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
I guess again, I have to point out that User:David Eppstein is using reason to support his own point, but isn't salient. The first point that the [-3, -7, -5] array contains the empty sub-array is specious at best. The input is provided as an array of 3 elements. The empty array is not present. If within the same code you performed the len() function on the array it would return the value 3. If we want to look at this from a perspective of linear algebra; when identifying sub-matrices, the empty matrix ([]) is not included. I have no idea where User:David Eppstein is coming up with this reason. User:David Eppstein, are you willing to cite a source?
The second point I've already spoken to, but I'll address again. The empty array does not have a value of zero. Zero is a discreet number which means a specific value was determined. There was no input provided, hence no determined or discrete value can be provided. Onewikibarnes (talk) 04:59, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
The second error in your second paragraph is to use the word "discreet" when you almost certainly intended the different word "discrete". However, to address the more serious error: the sum of [] is certainly 0. For instance, typing sum([]) in Python returns 0. There are good reasons for this behavior: when you concatenate two arrays, you should add their sums, and concatenating the empty array makes no change to the other array so its sum must be the additive identity. As for the request for a source in the first paragraph: the "programming pearls" column in CACM, by Jon Bentley, already cited in the article, states: "To complete the definition of the problem, we'll say that when all inputs are negative the maximum sum subvector is the empty vector, which has sum zero." The other of the two earliest sources already in the article, Gries 1982, states (for a version of the problem that asks for the minimum sum rather than the maximum sum) "empty sections should also be considered. Thus, if the array contains only positive values, the minimum-sum section is the empty section and its sum is 0". —David Eppstein (talk) 05:03, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
@David Eppstein and Onewikibarnes: Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. — Maile (talk) 00:44, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

WT:WPM is more likely to get a better response from people competent to read the article and not interested in stirring up unnecessary drama the way someone who steers new users to ANI might be interpreted as doing.

What does that mean, Starship 24? If you mean there is no real reason for there to be any good activity, then Wikipedia is built on the principle that anyone can edit it, and it therefore aims to have as many of its pages as possible open for public editing so that anyone can add material and correct errors.

User:Σ/Testing facility/TP/TpProt and others

I'd like access to the following 19 pages to address the Tidy Font bug errors found within. I would additionally address the various other WP:Lint errors while there, as I have with similar (but more focused) past requests here and here in recent past weeks. Each of the following pages were either selfprotected by former admin (who are no longer due to inactivity, or were desyop'd), or these pages were protected by admin who are no longer admin, so asking the protecting admin prior to this request is not needed. I have Extended Confirmed access, so that or lower is fine, whatever is appropriate. If I have overlooked anything that would be an issue, happy to discuss or have a page struck from this request. Thank you. Zinnober9 (talk) 03:14, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

  • This is a core article, so I would decline it. I will leave open, but semi isn't stopping anyone from suggesting edits, and since accounts are free, it isn't stopping anyone serious from editing it. Core articles are routinely kept semi, for good reason, as the risk outweighs the reward on an article that is stable and still reasonably accessible. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 02:38, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
  • I downgraded Bolton to pending-changes protection after a request here (and the article hasn't got any edits since, except for a thanks :) by the OP, so we're fine there), but Liverpool gets much more views than Bolton, and so would probably see much more disruption (more school pupils who have too much free time on their hands during breaks, e.g.). I also would leave the semi-protection in place. Lectonar (talk) 10:09, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

W.R. Bunckley House

I am the owner of the W.R. Bunckley house. I do not Generally use Wiki, but have noticed that the listing of my old home has the incorrect picture of the house. The photo listed is NOT the Bunckley house! The house shown is two houses down from its location. Please correct - If you will go to the National Register of Historic listings, type in W.R. Bunckley house, you will see that the incorrect house is shown on wiki. I would send you the correct photo, but don’t know how to on here. Just hate to see incorrect info. out there. Yaya1870 (talk) 19:10, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

In order to make the change we would need a photo of the proper house, ideally uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. We can't just cull the image directly from the National Register of Historic Places (and it doesn't help their photos of the house aren't digitised). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 19:52, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Not done. We almost never protect article talk pages, since they are important for communication between editors—see WP:ATPROT.

NPR

Reason: There is an edit war on the page for NPR over a designation of NPR as "state-run media" While I personally strongly disagree with the statement on a factual basis and think it violates both WP:NPOV and WP:RECENTISM, if there is further disagreement I think it will require moderation or admin attention. For now I believe the issue is preventing the current edit war from proceeding. I've reverted the page to the state before the edit war but the page needs added protection. The edit war has been going on since the 5th for anyone interested in the history. Bayou Tapestry (talk) 23:01, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Not done. The article is already semi-protected. I took a look, and I don't believe increasing the protection level is necessary at this time. I recommend participating in any relevant discussions on the article's talk page. If there are any specific editors that are violating the edit warring policy, they may be reported to WP:ANEW as appropriate (for now, I didn't immediately see anything requiring admin attention when I looked at the history). Mz7 (talk) 01:48, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
I appreciate the response Mz7. I don't see the semi-protected lock on the article though. Agreed it probably doesn't need anything more than semi-protection. Bayou Tapestry (talk) 03:54, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Barnett effect

Reason: There was a protracted sequence of page vandalism in 2010, which lead to page protection. The vandalism was not due to a dispute, or to anything subtle; it was childish name-calling about some unknown 3rd person. It's now 13 years later. The article is on an obscure physics topic. It's a stub that has not grown in the intervening years. I think it can be safely unprotected; the chances of renewed vandalism is ... infinitessimal.

Linty Old Socks

(Individual pages):

(Group1, same person, two accounts):

(Group2, identical admin's signature issue, no connections otherwise):

These pages are long ago blocked sock account pages (2006 and before). I'd like protection reduced so I can address the Tidy Font bugs and other lint errors on each page. Group 1 is the same person. Group 2 has the same blocking admin's signature, but no connections to each other otherwise. If any in Group 2 are problematic for a decrease, those can be moved to a change X to Y request instead since it's a simple correction.

  • (note) I plan on blanking Sugarpine's Sandbox page, since it's just tests of their signature and has no other significance. It could also be blanked on my behalf without changing protections if you prefer. But, if you object to it being blanked, I will honor that objection and correct the syntax instead. Just specify.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Teixeira

WP:GS/RUSUKR enforcement: Indefinite ECP requested due to anon participation. RAN1 (talk) 17:59, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Opposed! Why should an AfD be protected to stop "anon" (presumed meaning "non-logging" participation)? By what argument, based on WP policy and history, does one create second class citizens of non-logging editors, in particular when the site has all the tools it needs to prevent sockpuppeting that might lead to repeat voting by unregistered editors? If one wishes to bias votes, one can as easily create multiple accounts, as hop from IP to IP to repeat vote. Note, I voted there once, and commented repeatedly—but in no case in violation of any WP: policy or guideline. Why should this voice, this scholarly voice, not be heard in that deletion debate? Jimbo certainly would have allowed it back in the day. One's bias, based in personal annoyance with those who choose participatory paths other than the usual, should not rule the day in this regard. 2601:246:C700:F5:FD87:5034:59D4:3581 (talk) 20:15, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
I'm not sure ECP protection is warranted here, given the explicit Talk namespace exemption? This GS has only been used on an AfD once before.
Could some solution involving edit requests on Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Jack Teixeira work? The six days remaining of discussion probably aren't going to be AS eventful as the first, but blanket excluding IP users is less than ideal. casualdejekyll 20:49, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protected indefinitely., WP:GS/RUSUKR is quite clear that non-ECP editors are not welcome in AfD discussions concerning the topic. My understanding is also that the provision for "internal project discussions" in GS/RUSUKR Remedy A1 includes meta-discussions of whether or not to enforce GS/RUSUKR provisions. signed, Rosguill talk 21:13, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (film)‎

Reason: High level of disruptive editing by a Chile-based dynamic IP who keeps changing citation titles/headlines without explanation, hidden behind partially-accurate edit summaries, and denies that they have done this.

Yūsuf Balasaguni

Reason: Temporary semi protection: Roxy (talk · contribs) edit warring by placing a cn tag to the article name in bold, which is obvious a commonname, and appears on bibliography of th article several times, which falls under WP:SKYISBLUE. Beshogur (talk) 11:59, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

The sentence to which I placed a cn tag specifically states that Yūsuf Balasaguni is the most common name, but any citation to prove that has yet to be seen in the article. You have stated that it appears on bibliography several times but appearing several times may not be enough to say it is the most common one as it can easily be seen that he goes by the name Yusuf Khass Hajib in many other wikis, which makes it not Wikipedia:SKYISBLUE. Roxy (talk) 12:25, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
Maybe you should open a requested move if you don't think it's the most common name. I myself didn't move to (or create) Yūsuf Balasaguni. You should provide evidence that's it's not most common. If it is, then there shouldn't be cn tag. Beshogur (talk) 12:37, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Dear Administrator, I have created a page about the Georgian Architect Simon Kintsurashvili. I also created a Georgian version of it ka.wikipedia.org/wiki/სიმონ_კინწურაშვილი in Georgian Wikipedia, where a user called გიო_ოქრო, wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:გიო_ოქრო

was re-editing the page with a political connotation and was reporting me as a vandal when I was trying to edit further my page. He also entered this English version and tried to edit it. I want him to be blocked from editing this page as well as if you can help me to remove the Georgian version of the article: ka.wikipedia.org/wiki/სიმონ_კინწურაშვილი

O,r at least to block him from editing the page. As administrators in Georgia Wikipedia were not helpful.

Note: This seems excessive and needlessly escalatory. I helped to diffuse the impending edit war days back, and the issue has been being discussed, calmly, at the relevant talk page ever since. There has been no dispute raised on the substance of the move, only based on a misunderstanding of what process is needed for the move. Ratpie has perhaps moved a bit quickly, but nothing outside of the bounds of Being Bold, and Ratpie has referred to which instructions they were operating under while the other editor kept referring to instructions that were explicitly not applicable. It's now marked as protected "for vandalism", while no-one has claimed vandalism, which can give a detrimental impression of what has transpired. While I believe the one editor is mistaken and the other overeager, I have not seen any indication that either side has acted inappropriately here. Gecko G (talk) 22:00, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

This isn't an option - this was protected via GS/COVID, which would be taken over by the Arbitration Committee and made a contentious topic.

I'm not quite sure Jéské is correct here: under the new contentious topics procedures, page protections become reversible by any admin after a year (and this applies retroactively).

Hi Der HON, please avoid edit summaries such as Special:Diff/1146879434. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:18, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
Understood. I am sorry, but I totally lost my nerves that day. It's just not understandable how people can not read edit summaries (or simply ignore them?) and then keep on vandalizing airport destination content. At some point they must be figuring out that almost any of their edits is being reverted, but they just keep going. There is (or was) an API investigation about this airport dest. case already.
Der HON (talk) 11:23, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
No worries. A better way to reach the editor may be starting a short article talk page discussion and sending {{Please see}} to their user talk page as quickly after such edits as possible, to trigger a notification they'd otherwise not receive. This assumes that they're not actively ignoring you, though, and I have to admit that this assumption is quite a stretch. Still, as this is technically a content dispute, you may need to try this to stay compliant with the policy against edit warring as far as possible. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:30, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Later his son Chaudhary Lal Khan contested in local body elections & became Chairman four times non-stop & Got the title of “Baba-e-Baldiyat” By the Government of Pakistan.

Question: This page is not protected? Courcelles (talk) 00:43, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
This page has never been indef-protected (and its last protection has long since expired), and BBC News is under a long-term (not indefinite - it expires 2027) semi-protection that was issued last August. BBC News (international TV channel) is indef CRASHlocked, BBC News Online hasn't been protected since 2017, and of the three time-slot articles, only BBC News at Six is under any sort of protection at all (CRASHlock). The disambiguation page has never been protected. There's no article here, other than ...at Six, BBC News, and the international TV channel article, that could even be unprotected here, and the CRASHlocked articles, due to how that works, don't prevent anonymous editing. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 00:55, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

What is the threshold for considering vandalism levels high enough to justify some kind of protection? Nearly half (~40%) of all edits to the page over the last two months have been nonconstructive, with most of the other half being reverting those nonconstructive edits. On average, the page is vandalized several times a month, and this pattern has not changed since the first time I requested page protection nearly a year ago. It might not be vandalized daily, but it's vandalized often enough to overwhelm the page history with junk. Ornithopsis (talk) 03:02, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I took the liberty of setting pending-changes protection.

Harriet Tubman

Reason: An offensive edit-war is taking place that is entirely inappropriate. For example, the term "enslaved people" was reverted by a user, RL0919, to "slaves". Conventionally, the former term is the preferred way to refer to enslaved people. An article of such historical importance like that of Harriet Tubman's deserves a sophisticated approach, not an ignorant one. The article should be protected at a higher level, so users like RL0919 cannot simply revert improvements without accountability. Private Person (talk) 05:40, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Windows 10 version history

Reason: Users who used to commit vandalism on WP, including this page, are no longer active for about 5 years. Furthermore, most edits which were tagged as "Reverted" on windows 11 version history, which is not protected BTW, were not necessarily vandalism, especially by anonymous users.

Finally, ever since the page was split into individual pages (windows 10 (original release)–windows 10, version 21H1) there were little to no vandalism being committed on those pages. Thus, the need to have this page indefinitely protected is no longer convincing and justifiable nowadays per my typed comments. 197.26.153.57 (talk) 06:30, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Disruptive IP on war path, labeling a countries woman as a “archaic slave dancer”, and insisting on adding a 40 year old flag as representative of a countries culture (see Flag of Iran). -. LouisAragon (talk) 12:13, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Only disruptive editing comes from LouisAragon's side, who claims a national flag represents the "authoritarian regime" which is an extreme POV. All other country templates have national flags so I simply restored old stable version. And yes, virtually all dancers from Qajar court were slaves, often foreign, as well as sexual workers. To illustrate a national culture with a prostitute is truly an insult to our country. 5.115.147.120 (talk) 17:59, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
  • "Only disruptive editing comes from LouisAragon's side"
That's the good thing about Wikipedia, you can't delete any diff ;-) It was you who (re)added that flag as image,[25] reverting an edit that had been in place for six months.[26]
  • "who claims a national flag represents the "authoritarian regime" which is an extreme POV"
Read Human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Media freedom in Iran, the ongoing Mahsa Amini protests, Flag of Iran, and the dozen of protests that have took place since 1979, all of which have their own article: [27]
  • "So I simply restored old stable version"
Nope. What you did was initiating an edit war and ignoring WP:WAR and WP:BRD.
  • "And yes, virtually all dancers from Qajar court were slaves, often foreign, as well as sexual workers. To illustrate a national culture with a prostitute is truly an insult to our country"
The title and description at Commons reads "Qajar princess paiting".[28] Not a single word on the page about "slave" or "prostitute". Nice misogynic comment tho, claiming a woman to be a slave and prostitute without any sort evidence. Even if its about a historical figure (or imaginary figure, doesn't matter), such evidence only adds to the obvious fact that you are WP:NOTHERE to build this encyclopedia. - LouisAragon (talk) 20:35, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Lionel Messi

Since a lot of fake penalty and goal contribution stats, memes and related conspiracy theories are circulating on the internet regarding e.g. how many of Messi’s goals or goal contributions were penalty goals during the 2021 Copa America and the 2022 FIFA World Cup, I suggest adding e.g. something like this (to make it easy for anyone who visits Messi’s wikipedia page to quickly see at least some basic facts about Messi’s performances during the two tournaments in question):

With his country, he won the 2021 Copa América, where he scored four goals (one penalty) and five assists, finishing as the tournament’s top scorer while also receiving the Best Player Award for his performances, and the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where he scored seven goals (four penalties) and made three assists and received the FIFA World Cup Golden Ball for best player of the tournament (becoming the only player in history to win the FIFA World Cup Golden Ball twice). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.234.97.237 (talk) 10:25, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

The specific goal counts are too much detail to put in prose. Other than that, the rest of this seems fairly reasonable. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 16:15, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
If the context given by the IP above is correct (which I have no reason to assume it's not, but I don't follow association football), why does this violate point #3 there? It's not particularly excessive (this is one paragraph), and it's not impossible to give context behind why it's included if needed. Again, I'm not actually aware if this is a major enough issue where adding this would significantly aid readers, but I don't think it's necessarily too much to put in prose.

ChatGPT

Despite its success in imitating human language, ChatGPT has faced significant criticism for its dangers and ethical concerns.[1][2][3] On March 31, Italian data regulator temporarily banned ChatGPT for leaking user data that contained credit card information and launched an investigation to the security breach.[4]
Please add this text to the lead section of the article. 95.12.127.137 (talk) 18:21, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

"On March 31" should be "On March 31, 2023," and you want to name the specific regulatory agency rather than a generic "Italian data regulator." —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 20:41, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
The second sentence should just start as "On March 31, 2023, an Italian data regulator temporarily banned ChatGPT", or replace "an Italian data regulator" with the specific one. (The source is paywalled, but I think it's "Italian Garante"? So it would be "On March 31, 2023, Italian Garante temporarily banned ChatGPT", but I have no idea if anyone would know what that means and there's no article on it to link to.)

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA

Remove the claim that "[Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA] is the first video game series to utilize audio created in the Vocaloid software." on the top section of the article.

The top section contains a factual error: regarding Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA, there's a claim that "It is the first video game series to utilize audio created in the Vocaloid software." The first series is actually Katamari Damacy:
The ending song of Korogashi Puzzle Katamari Damacy features the voice of Hatsune Miku, it's even explicitly explained in the article of that Katamari Damacy game.
Korogashi Puzzle Katamari Damacy was released on March 25, 2009; while Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA was released on July 2, 2009.

I do realize it's an extreme nitpick, but still it's something factually wrong on an encyclopedia. I wanted to change the article myself, but it's semi-protected. Santi531 (talk) 07:45, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Given the persistence of the issue, I would opt for a rather long protection time, but that's obviously not my decision to make. Felida97 (talk) 15:03, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Hindu mythology

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The article is a constant target of editors who wish to change "mytholgy" to "history'" with a large fraction of the article history being taken up by this change and its reversion. A semi-protection or, at least, a pending change protection would help keep the disruption somewhat in check and and help the article editors and readers. I would recommend against a time-limited protection, since the cause of this disruption is not going to go away in a few months or years. Pinging @Joshua Jonathan, Chronikhiles, and DaxServer: (all of whom have reverted the change recently), in case they wish to add anything to this request. Abecedare (talk) 19:50, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi Abecedare, as long-term semi-protection has not been tried on that article before, I have set it to a year for now. I see that the disruption has a longer history than that, but before I indefinitely semi-protect, I'd like to have tried this before. Please let me know (or re-request) if this resumes afterwards. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:15, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Oromo people

Indefinite Semi Protection: There's a lot of hostility between Ethiopians sometimes, quite frankly because of idiots - and a root of some hostility is religion. There's been a bunch of edits made by Ethiopian IP users and new users changing the religion statistic on infoboxes and sections, usually changing the statistic to an overwhelming muslim majority and christian minority. It isn't true, and is just propaganda - but this is not an outlier case, I believe it will keep happening with other IP users and hence why this page needs to be (in my opinion) protected to help fight this kind of vandalism which can easily get unnoticed at some point as there isn't a great amount of editor activity on this page. balladsone 09:26, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Page was full protected back in 2010 when Andonic changed usernames and became an admin. They are not currently an admin (since 2019) due to less activity.

2014 Brazilian general election

Reason: IP repeatedly trying to change infobox images, refusing to discuss on talk or follow WP:BRD Number 57 08:17, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Question: Number 57, how does it make sense for you to say that the IP is refusing to discuss on talk when you haven't done so, either? The last comment added to that talk page was in 2016! El_C 11:09, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
My understanding of BRD has always been that the onus is on the party attempting to make a change to start a discussion and justify their proposal. However, I've started one. Number 57 11:43, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
No, that is not how it works, and at any event, BRD is optional. You are the experienced editor and admin, so you are expected to say something, anything, on the relevant talk page rather than steadfast limiting yourself to edit summaries like the IP has been doing. You seem to be using WP:BRD (and WP:ONUS?) as a blunt instrument, which as a result may serve as a barrier for entry (i.e. WP:BITE). I've cautioned you against this before.
All you had do is give a brief explanation of your position on the talk page, then link to it in the next edit summary, like so: IP, I've explained my position about the image on the talk page (link), please reply there. That IP may not know that the article talk page even exists as such to begin with, as some mobile versions do not display talk pages, which is why I link to these often in edit summaries, protection summaries, block summaries, and so on. El_C 12:02, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
I mostly do start talk page discussions when there are disputes (e.g. here recently), but my long experience with IPs is that they don't engage and just continue to edit war until they are blocked, pages are protected or the other party gives up. Number 57 12:14, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
So long as IPs are allowed to edit, then you need to WP:AGF (within reason). If they don't respond, at least you tried, and then you can safely report that absence of WP:COMMUNICATION. But it first has to exist. And you'll likely save time and energy and cluttered revision histories, to boot. El_C 12:19, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

This request verges on the incomprehensible. The argument seems to be that the protection is unnecessary because IP editors are no longer disrupting the page? Those IP editors wouldn't be able to edit the page; that's how semi-protection works. Not to say I'm against lowering the protection - I'm neutral - but this request isn't doing itself any favours. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 19:40, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

EuroLeague

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Anon's ongoing flag (edit)war started in January. [52] No discussion since. Pelmeen10 (talk) 23:25, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Question: Pelmeen10, articles about Leagues and Cups tend to be the most challenging requests to parse on this board. The problem is due to poor edit summaries combined with the insularity of the subject matter. So, for example, your latest edit (April 26) that has an edit summary that reads top3 — what is happening there? Were edits by IPs immediately prior reverted? Were those edits disruptive? It isn't easy to tell what's what is the point. El_C 09:17, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
I'm not involved in the edit war, my edit was not reverting any other user. It was unconnected, as listing top4 makes no sense. Edit war between anons is mostly this [53] [54] / [55] [56] Pelmeen10 (talk) 14:38, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
Pelmeen10, the definitions might overlap and be somewhat fluid, but generally, reverting disruption is not considered edit warring. Even if it might not necessarily fall under the edit warring exemption in a strict sense (i.e. for our purposes, it being limiting it to "obvious vandalism," mostly so that it cannot be WP:GAMEd).
What I'm getting at, however, is two things: 1. I can't tell when disruption has been reverted, because for whatever reason veteran editors of League and Cup articles generally tend to provide poor or unclear edit summaries, especially when reverting unsourced or disruptive edits, thus making it rather opaque for uninvolved reviewers to parse absent direct pointers/diffs. And 2. I can't tell when disruption has been reverted recently, because generally (though not exclusively), what is actionable on this board is for disruption to have happened in hours and days rather than in weeks and months. Otherwise, it starts to become Stale.
Anyway,  Requesting immediate archiving... but feel free to relist if new problems arise — though, again, if edit summaries are unclear, maybe add some pertinent diffs. HTH. El_C 01:03, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

We generally leave protecting templates for a bot which applies a uniform procedure. The template has 196 transclusions which is, as I recall, not enough for "high risk". OTOH, perhaps leaving the door open for easy vandalism amplification is not desirable. Thoughts from others? If anyone wants to protect at any level, please do so without a need for consultation. This comment is just me being unsure. Johnuniq (talk) 04:40, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Edits to Theatre and Disability page:

I have significant concerns about the vast amount of material you have deleted from the Theatre and Disability article. Much of the deleted material was of great value to the community of performers with disabilities, and many of the contributions were made by members of the disability community, including those with intellectual disabilities. They absolutely deserve the opportunity to advocate for themselves, and holding this page to the standards you imposed through deletions rather than edits takes away their voice. Yes, this article is need of significant improvement, but better to tag it as such or make edits that improve the existing material rather than mass deletion of content. I invite you to revert your edits. Thanks very much! 2606:8180:5001:A2:F80C:6601:3E5E:DA53 (talk) 17:32, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Not unprotected I just suppressed the last IP edit there, and the two anon edits before that were made by an IP blocked as a sock. I don't see any reason to remove the pending changes from this BLP. Ponyobons mots 20:05, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Reason: There's a vandalism problem with this page, in particular anonymous ips and hate speech additions.

I think it's needs either pending changes or semi-protection. As less seasoned editors watch this page, once evidence around the case stops. There are going to be less people to reverse such highly disruptive edits or to check them. LoomCreek (talk) 22:57, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP will not discuss, continues to edit war. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 23:04, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

User(s) blocked.
Question: Peacemaker67, you already protected the page a week ago, so why do you need to post a request for it now? Also, we don't usually protect just on account of one (or even two) user(s), so that protection and this request are a bit confusing to me. El_C 23:50, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
I just felt that me as an admin and also the primary editor on the article, I might be seen as having a conflict of interest if I just kept protecting it when the matter could appear to a layperson to be a matter of opinion rather than straight out vandalism (or probably right-wing POV editing). However, it was also obvious IP edit-warring without any intention of discussing. I deal with a lot of vandalism of articles in the WWII Yugoslavia space and generally try to avoid sending them all here. What do you think? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:14, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
Well, as mentioned, the general practice when it's just one (or even 2) user/s is to block rather than protect. As for that IP, specifically, on closer look, I amended the 36 hours EW block to a month DE one with TPA disabled due to racist provocations. Anyway, hope that helps for next time and sorry you had to deal with that nonsense. El_C 00:33, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Question: Starkex, can you explain what's happening wrt the sources and numbers, it's unclear and edit summaries provide limited info. Thanks. El_C 20:12, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
Apparently there are two IP users modifying population sources to their claims citing that the population of Urdu speakers in Pakistan is 30 million whereas according to 2017 census of Pakistan the population is 15 million. Starkex (talk) 10:18, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
Yeah, I get that. What confuses me is that the MQM-P does not come across as that fringe, at least not to the extent that it would claim there being double the population of the census. Something seems off there, so I was wondering if you knew what the basis for their 30m claim was.
Almost certainly, though, the census data ought to reflect the population figures. I was just curious. But I forgot to ask the main question I intended to: did the IP only add that information those two times? Thanks. El_C 10:49, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
No there were two separate IPs and both changed the population figure from 15 million to 30 million. Starkex (talk) 12:31, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
A non-answer? Okay... Anyway, as for the IP/s, they're not exactly separate as they're both from the same range. But since the last edit was about two days ago, I'm gonna hold off and close the request as Declined for now. Feel free to relist if there are further issues. And also free to yes-answer when you do so (or at least acknowledge a non-answer if you opt for that). Either way, good luck. Hope it works out. El_C 21:51, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Note: {{Non-free reduced}} is a redirect. I assume you meant the target, {{Orphaned non-free revisions}}, and have changed the request accordingly.

Reason: Page was upgraded from a long-term pending changes protection to a shorter term semi-protect earlier. The semi-protect has expired, so I request reinstatement of the original long-term pending changes protection, or an extension of the semi-protection that recently expired given the propensity for certain LTAs to go after the page about me and add RD2/RD3/doxxing content (see also: Brianna Wu, Turning Red, etc) Lizthegrey (talk) 18:10, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

There needs to be disruption to justify protection. See WP:PREEMPTIVE. Unless there is disruption, it will be unprotected per policy. I would report it again if someone tries to do something as you described. From the edit history, I don't see how pending changes would help if the person responsible for the vandalism has autoconfirmed sockpuppets, but the Kiwi Farms hate raid died down a while ago, so it should be fine. 93.109.111.66 (talk) 20:39, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Peanut butter

Reason: Semi-prot for just under one decade. Maybe time to give unprotecting a trial? Peanut may be worth considering too, though that's been semied for "merely" 3 years. Up to admin discretion I guess. 47.155.41.201 (talk) 21:55, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Another that I will leave open for more opinions, but being a vital article, I would decline unprotection. Same for Peanut. There aren't any rapidfire changes needed for these articles, the talk page works just fine for minor changes by IPs. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 21:06, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
Comment: The question one should ask in these cases is not "why is this protected" but "what reason would a random new editor have to edit it that couldn't be handled via edit request?"
