Sikhism

Reason: High level of IP Vandalism, Sikhism is the 5th largest religion in the world so naturally there are going to be vandalism but to the extent recently it is out of control. I was hoping it was possible to get this semi-protected (its a bit like playing wack a mole everyday) as it keeps getting vandalised with false figures based on the population (overstated or understated), offensive edits have been made and constant edits without sourcing which are untrue i.e changes to century it was founded it, language changes, origins etc... I Hope this will bring closure with the constant "undo" wiki users have to do on this page with some edits being made. Jattlife121 (talk) 19:57, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Also just wanted to add Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism also have been given the status of Semi protected. It would be in Wiki's best interest to do so for Sikhism to prevent religious sentiments being hurt. Jattlife121 (talk) 21:18, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. The request here seems to suggest indefinite semi-protection, but the article is not yet ready for that. Indefinite protection is imposed when there has been a history of multiple protections, imposed almost continuously and for increasingly long times. This article is nowhere near that stage.  MelanieN (talk) 02:10, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Indefinite create protection: Recently deleted BLP. CastJared (talk) 20:20, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

@CastJared, I don't think an article that's only been created once is eligible for WP:Salting by an admin. You'll have to wait until it is repeatedly recreated. Cheers, Nythar (💬-🍀) 20:25, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Declined – Once does not mean "repeatedly created". Favonian (talk) 20:44, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. MelanieN (talk) 02:16, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Vinesh Phogat

Reason: Vandalism has started as one could expect because of the ongoing protests against the Government. Expect this to turn out to be persistent before it becomes a constant effort for editors to revert misinformation. Could be temporarily protected. TheAnonymousWikiEditor (talk) 21:48, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Cheshire home invasion murders

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Various SPA’s warring over MOS:GENDERID. –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (💬 • 📝) 13:42, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. and logged as a CTOPS restriction. As the admin who had previously semi-ed the article, I saw that semi wasn't going to work since one of the accounts was already autoconfirmed. So, we are now at ECP. Daniel Case (talk) 16:32, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Kelly Clarkson

Temporary pending changes: BLP policy violations – Constant changing of years active parameter, ignoring her work before American Idol - all of which are sourced in the article under "1982-2002 Early life and career beginnings". Chaheel Riens (talk) 14:44, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

To clarify, I'm aware that her career took off after winning American Idol, but the parameter is "years active" - and that covers what she did beforehand as well. Multiple IP edits ignoring the request for discussion on the talk page. Chaheel Riens (talk) 14:46, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Also logged under CTOPS since this is just the latest in a long string of protections to that page. Daniel Case (talk) 16:48, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Chaouia (Morocco)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Disruptive edits (mostly unsourced changes to ethnic identifications) by various IPs and new editors, going on for months at least. Nearly all were subsequently reverted but it keeps going. E.g.: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. (Similar long-term disruption at Reguibat tribe and Mzab (Moroccan tribe) also resulted in semi-protection recently.). R Prazeres (talk) 01:18, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Bbb23 (talk) 15:31, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Sun God Festival

Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Favonian (talk) 15:10, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore

Reason: The page was blocked because some users wrote that the series is cancelled, which is true, it doesn't have any sense to have it protected. 190.21.177.84 (talk) 02:22, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Comment:: Was actually protected because of edit warring from your IP address. Points for chutzpah, though. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 06:31, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Megamind (franchise)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent WP:NOTFORUM violations. CastJared (talk) 14:30, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

@CastJared: FYI neither this talk page nor the one above it are eligible for page protection. There must be significant amounts of disruption to warrant protection; Talk:Megamind (franchise) has only had a single disruptive edit (2 days ago) and Talk:Megamind has had two disruptive edits since almost a year. Nythar (💬-🍀) 14:38, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Rishi Sunak

Reason: The page is very unorganized. Also the time of his joining Conservative Party is given wrong, since there are two dates for when he joined the party, once during his time at Lincoln College and then again in 2010, so this needs to be corrected. The Early Life section of the article is particularly unorganized and need to be more tidy and coherent Ashik Rahik (talk) 02:36, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Memory conformity

Semi-protection: Per Talk:Memory_conformity#The_Mandela_Effect_vandal_is_back, a YouTuber made a video years ago that included them typing a sentence into the lead of this article, so IPs have been occasionally adding it back ever since. A couple of days ago the YouTuber posted a video that referenced the article again, so there's been an uptick. Belbury (talk) 13:52, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Module:Cite book

Indefinite template protection: High-risk template – Requesting protection of potential high risk modules: Module:Cite book, Module:Cite news, Module:Cite journal, and Module:Cite report. Currently, only Module:Cite web is protected. Sanglahi86 (talk) 11:09, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Declined – This template is not used widely enough to be considered a high-risk template. Cite book has 5 transclusions, cite news has 164, cite journal has 38, and cite report has 5. Cite web has 37,933 transclusions. They are not on the same level. If protection were to be granted, I could see maybe semi-protecting cite news, but that'll be done automatically by a bot when it reaches 250 transclusions. Given the lack of disruption since it was created two years ago, I don't really see the point of pre-empting the bot. Sdrqaz (talk) 14:50, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Windows 7

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because those users who vandalized this article are no longer active for 2 years, so there's really no need to keep this article protected. 95.134.111.98 (talk) 18:03, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. This page has a long history of needing protection, as do the other Windows pages you've made requests for. You can either continue to use edit requests to request edits, or create an account. OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:08, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Considering the prior request for this back in January was filed by a sockpuppet account I have little reason to believe this isn't more of the same, especially given the argument is more of the same as it was then. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 20:25, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GoodnightmushTalk 13:24, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Timeline of the 21st century

Reason: IP editor keeps adding irrelevant local news to the list after several reverts, refuses to discuss anything on talk page, and makes the whole timeline a trash bin of local news and product announcements. There is no way that somebody elected as president of something, Filipino actress being born, Segway created, or yet another person won Miss Universe or team won world cup are defining events of the century. Pinging also Serendipodous, who reverted such additions before, and discussed it with me on the talk page. Artem.G (talk) 07:36, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

This page should be permantently protected. This individual has persisted for years now despite repeated bannings for sock puppetry. Serendipodous 08:59, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
And 2023 in the Philippines is listed above, probably for the same reason. Artem.G (talk) 09:35, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

YO1 Radio

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – High level of slow-motion edit warring from various IPs and new registrations, mostly changing the description of the radio station from "local radio" to "community radio" and back again. This has escalated over the last month. I am not involved in this dispute. On at least one occasion, an IP has threatened to involve the police [13]. There is very little to no constructive editing going on here. Flip Format (talk) 08:23, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because ....... . Unknown editor8 (talk) 07:35, 3 May 2023 (UTC) I don't find any unnecessary spammers to change the correct information of this Swastika wikipedia page to anything unreliable. So I request the admin to kindly unprotect this page so that we can if needed anytime put any sort further information in this page.

I moved the article back to mainspace and removed the unreferenced sections per WP:DRAFTOBJECT and WP:V. The IP has repeatedly restored the unreferenced content despite being told of WP:BURDEN.

Declined - I don't see their edit summaries or edits on your talk page as being in bad faith. They've suggested bringing it to the talk page but I've noticed it already has been brought up some months ago. Try and explain it to them on a talk page. If they edit disruptively, request a rangeblock at AIV or AN/I. DatGuyTalkContribs 10:48, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Temporary extended-confirmed protection: Last few days, it appears that automated vandalism was done on these pages by User:WhenDatHotlineBling (a long-term vandal), or an impersonator. It might also be Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/My Royal Young, but I doubt that they have gone to the extent to create scripts (or macros) to spam lyrics of The Clash on these pages. 79.159.60.139 (talk) 00:50, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Not unprotected – The concrete IPs previously caught vandalizing are of little interest, being inherently ephemeral. The article is a perennial vandal target and should remain protected. Favonian (talk) 10:05, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

National Sun Yat-sen University

Reason: Semi-protection: IP/new users (sockpuppet) vandalism from Chinese Wikipedia: always remove "re-establishment" scriptions & sources of NSYSU.

Last year in Chinese Wikipedia, the article for deletion of "History of re-establishment of NSYSU"(Chinese: 國立中山大學復校史), at that time most users supported "re-establishment" (Chinese: 復校) and cited many reliable sources in Chinese. Later, it was also found that 2 long term abusers used sockpuppets for removing the sources and scriptions of NSYSU "re-establishment" again and again: zh:wikipedia:傀儡調查/案件/Ra18120/存檔, zh:wikipedia:傀儡調查/案件/Stalin kzj/存檔.

NSYSU's official website "Introduction" NOW just reduces something old "history", but doesn't disavow its earlier statements: NSYSU was re-established in Kaohsiung, 1980, e.g.: (in English)

  • [15]: "Reestablished in 1980", Department of Stastics, Ministry of Education, the Republic of China
  • [16]: "In 1980, the University was re-established in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.", NSYSU official history in NSYSU History Office
  • [17]: "the Ministry of Education decided to reestablish National Sun Yat-sen University in Kaohsiung. The university was officially reopened in July 1,1980 with Dr. Lee Huan as the first president.", Sinorama Magazine, published by the government of the Republic of China

Windows 10 version history (2015–2018) and Windows 10 version history (2015–2016)

Reason: Both of the above redirects are indefinitely protected, only to find out that the target article is just timely protected. I suggest those redirects either be unprotected or otherwise be protected until the target page's protection expires. In any case, indefinite protection sounds bushwa. Also, ever since those redirects were created, no user ever seemed to bother modify them. Something has to be done to those redirects, or let us just have them deleted.197.238.82.68 (talk) 20:47, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Free Republic of Verdis & Verdis

Reason: I noticed Verdis and Free Republic of Verdis were blocked. Can it be unblocked to allow redirection to either Daniel Jackson (politician) or simple:Verdis? Verdis may not reach notability standards for an independent page on English Wikipedia, but the President appears notable enough (2023 articles include metro and mylondon) and was approved. Maybe a section can be made on that page? MicroSupporter (talk) 16:46, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Declined. I'm inclined to leave full protection in place, and instead consider an edit request to retarget each redirect. You can propose such a request on Talk:Verdis (which already has some discussion) and Talk:Free Republic of Verdis, or on Croatia–Serbia border dispute. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:44, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Please protect the article Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury from anonymous edits for at least a couple of weeks. Anonymous has been vandalizing the article for several days, removing various pieces of text with the abstract "removal of irrelevant information." Judging by the content of the deleted text and checking the history of edits of anonymous authors, we are talking about some kind of politically motivated vandalism.

Temporary move protection: Not sure why, but the creator of the page moved it around 7 times. Might be wise to move protect the draft and/or create protect the mainspace name. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 19:06, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Not done This is an overreaction. Try dropping a note on their talk page. Page protection is a last resort for dealing with disruptive editing when lesser measures, including blocks, are either ineffective or obviously not practical. Ad Orientem (talk) 19:30, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

10 May 2023

Twin Flames (band)

Reason: A few IP addresses and accounts seem to be targeting this page through a series of bad faith, disruptive edits and reverts that include false information and biased language. For instance, former session musicians were listed as band "members" while cited corrections to this error were reverted with no justification. The band was listed as "children's music" despite all sources contradicting this categorization and, again, corrections were reverted without justification. Similar issues occured where other cited information such as updated/recent award info was removed without explanation. I have reverted to the corrected page version and am requesting page protection. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Kleio's Librarian (talk) 17:43, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

E. Jean Carroll

Reason: Increased vandalism. There is also less frequent but similar vandalism on E. Jean Carroll litigation against Donald Trump.) JSFarman (talk) 19:37, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

God complex

Reason: Repeated addition of notable BLPs under 'See also' by IPs over many months. SailingInABathTub ~~🛁~~ 22:47, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

The Wachowskis

Indefinite "autoconfirmed or confirmed" protection: the edit history for the last year+ has been almost entirely copious vandalism by new editors and IPs and reverts thereof; before that, the page was subject to several stints of autoconfirmed protection (the most recent was for one year), but as you see, vandalism resumed as soon those stints expired, and is chiefly about the subjects' gender, which (as User:MelanieN put it succinctly here) "does not tend to go away". -sche (talk) 23:54, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Due to the controversial history in regards to the party, and its historical counterpart, the Chinese Communist Party, as well as the history of IP edits, and sockpuppetry, I am requesting at least "pending changes protection" permanently.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 02:52, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Code Orange (band)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sick puppetry from a user who I suspect is using multiple IPs and these IPs have been blocked in the past for sock puppetry. This has been going on for at least a year. This person makes disruptive genre edits to this article and articles similar to it. Blocking them does nothing because they just use different IPs. Bowling is life (talk) 22:44, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Not enough disruption to warrant semi-protection. BTW, I like "sick-puppetry", nice typo :). Lectonar (talk) 07:45, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Can this article please get a long protection period? Right after the protection expired the disruption resumed. It's always like this in this article, not a single IP or brand new user willing to make a constructive edit. HistoryofIran (talk) 10:16, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Not done – No article specified. Favonian (talk) 05:41, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Reason: High level of IP vandalism by changing sourced content. LancedSoul (talk) 02:03, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. I see IPs vandalising, and I see IPs adding good content; nothing egrarious, and the page is well watched to boot. Seems to be under control. Lectonar (talk) 08:45, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

SuperM

Reason: Unregistered users are continuously adding the same unconfirmed information to the page - this is made worse by the fact that the topic they are trying to edit information about is currently a hot topic on social media and some news outlets. OhDearies (talk) 08:25, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Lectonar (talk) 12:36, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Minor-attracted person

Reason: Relatively new article that is already starting to attract IP/new-user vandals. The article's subject matter is very sensitive and also related heavily with the pedophilia article, which requires permanent semi-protection to be kept under control. It would be best to get this semi-protected sooner before it gets too far out of hand. Legitimus (talk) 12:04, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent violations of WP:NOTAFORUM. A page notice was put in place to try to stop the inappropriate discussions. Even though it seemed to help a bit, the violations still continue. Zoe Trent Fan🎤💍 12:41, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Single disruptions every few days wouldn't be enough to protect articles, let alone article talk-pages; see Wikipedia:ATPROT. Lectonar (talk) 13:02, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Heather Armstrong

Reason: Article was EC-protected this morning because of unsourced/poorly source claims of death. Armstrong's death has now been confirmed by AP, Variety, Today, and ABC News, and article has been updated. Shouldn't need protection any longer (but thanks for protecting it until death was confirmed!). Schazjmd (talk) 18:15, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Per the five previous protections, this is a currently circulating internet urban legend. All edits from new users are still either claiming the subject to be real, or expanding the article with unsourced content from fan wikis. Belbury (talk) 18:22, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Note: @AirshipJungleman29: could you point out the vandalism please? I see some adding of unsourced materiel, some copyediting, but, in the last few days, nothing I would label as vandalism. What the article needs are more eyes and some serious editing. Lectonar (talk) 09:34, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. A lot of problem edits in the last few days - not vandalism as such, but unsourced material and opinion.

and because MINQI messing around for while in Transnational authoritarianism projects and endless editing battle，so that forcing the editors stop their works in relevant programs，and that would make it easy for MINQI to achieve its personal agenda as bellow that other fellows from zhcommunities are familiar with:

Actting asWP:CENSOR,WP:SOAP,WP:BATTLEGROUND,WP:FORUM that publishing its own original political thoughts and analyses on the projects in way of propaganda, andcarry on ideological battles and conflicts for no end, making personal battles with other ediors in all the responds and discussions goes directly against policies and goals.

Those matters could be comfirmed by other memmbers in zhwiki communities if they could well defend thecomplicated annoying and unwanted contacts, attacks, intimidation from this user.And for all well knowing enough of its patterns, forgive me haven't chosen WP:RFC for aid.

The reported user has a handful of edits but enough to be auto-confirmed meaning that semi-protection would be ineffective. @Longway22 and MINQI: This might have to be handled at WP:ANI but you would need to calmly discuss issues on article talk first and try to get a WP:WIKIPROJECT involved. Any other opinions on what should happen? Johnuniq (talk) 09:07, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
I would be ok for local professional memmbers to assist the topics,but as I have reported above,the pattern of MINQI that could make anyone involing the processes suffer,I suggest the parties of communties should holding enough strong mental powers for the matters.
By the way ,here are some recenct records and complaint cases involing MINQI responses in zhwikipedia for good fellows consider. Longway22 (talk) 09:44, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
@Longway22:Could you tell everyone why you took the personal attack instead of explain as the edit summary? And why do you not tell them you have been blocked for lying and mischaracterizing others' actions recently? MINQI (talk) 11:07, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Sorry to disturb. It may be against WP:AGF but I have to say it's his(USER:Longway22) stock-in-trade. He will firstly defile someone as a violator of the rules, even as a WP:LTA, then take the libel as the main or the only resaon to delete the victim's contribution or edit the page whatever he wants. When he failled, he will try to report the victim to WP:ANI/WP:AN3 or report the page to here. And he will edit the page as his will after the victim's being blocked. It seems that he has once used meatpuppetry to make his report credible (in zh.wiki not in en.wiki). I think his behavor is a type of illustrating points,personal attacks and mischaracterizing other editors' actions. MINQI (talk) 10:34, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Quoting As fellow百战天虫 have said,

你这是胡搅蛮缠，我不会再回应了，谢谢。(No more comments for the endless harassing with unreasonable demands)

-- Longway22 (talk) 10:48, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
@Longway22，you two（you and 百战天虫） are so ridiculous, that you two can only allow you defame others but cannot tolerate others' reasonable blames. And you two are so similar ——he refused to answer those 6 key questions between "Naturalization" and "Dual nationality", you refused to admit the sources are using "Transnational repression" not "Transnational authoritarianism". You both took the personal attack to me as a reason to make your own behavior reasonable. MINQI (talk) 11:31, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Don't mention me, I will not leave any comment on this. I would prompt the zhwiki community to impose some kind of sanction on you, please wait for it. --百战天虫 (talk) 14:11, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
@百战天虫，please give me a reason not to mention you when User:Longway22 has involved you here. I am really curious to the reason, which made up by you, to make your zhwiki's prompting reasonable. By the way, are you sure your threat is not against Wikipedia:No personal attacks, Wikipedia:Civility and WP:BATTLEGROUND? I must remind you that, "Threats. Threats of violence or suicide should be reported immediately—see WP:EMERGENCY. Hateful speech, legal threats, and other urgent incidents should be reported at the Administrator's Noticeboard Incidents page.", is written in Wikipedia:Civility. MINQI (talk) 18:00, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

The fact that the article has been protected many times over many years suggests that the current situation may be warranted. Judging by a February 2023 discussion at User talk:NinjaRobotPirate#Protection, the protecting admin (NinjaRobotPirate) does not think that unprotection would be useful.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism

This article has already been protected 2 times recently and vandalized within days of the protection expiring. See recent protections https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=John_Tolkien_(priest)&type=protect

A single purpose IP user(s) suspected of being previously banned for sockpuppetry is being disruptive and vandalizing by adding content that is not WP:POV, using non WP:RS sources (a local tabloid newspaper), or invented and not backed at all by the quoted sources when the links are checked. The page was previously semi protected [[47]] but the disruptive IP has returned once the protection expired. The disruptive IP has stated his intent to continue to disrupt here: [[48] The IP said on the talk page: "Don't worry, if it takes me my whole life to restore my version I'll wait for my whole life." It is clear the IP is intend on continuing the vandalized and paying no regard for WP rules or processes. ]

(From previous February 2023 RPP): Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistant addition of non NPOV material that isn't backed up by claimed stated sources; relies on non WP:RS publications; or is simply invented. Persistant editing by unregistered users. Suspected sockpuppetry by unregistered user(s), likely linked to banned sockpuppet accounts: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Saynotodrugs12 and https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Rathfelder.

Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023

Reason: Back in December, the article was draftified following an AfD discussion. Someone then started a move war which led to the protection of the page. It is now five months later, and the draft article is now in a much better state than it was during the AfD, and there are also more sources now. Although it may still be borderline TOOSOON, I don't think there is consensus for that anymore judging from the talk page.

The protecting admin has been pinged on the talk page but there was no response (maybe you missed it Liz?). Hopefully here the issue will get more attention. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 23:29, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

I'd say no, not yet. The "consensus" I see on Draft talk:Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023 is all from single-purpose accounts who have no interest in other topics. If you say it is borderline WP:TOOSOON, that suggests to me that you don't feel it's ready either. Drop me a note when it's no longer borderline too soon, and I'll remove the protection if Liz doesn't respond. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:06, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

This is unnecessary. We want to add lots of things to her page which is missing such as she won an award from hello magazine for outstanding talent of the year!

Also in the list of television roles ‘Tere Bin’ is not hyperlinked so it doesn’t connect to the Tere Bin wiki page which is unfair as all other casts have a link to the Tere Bin wiki page from their own wiki page. Which should Yumna be at a disadvantage? No one has edited for past 3 months in which lots has happened so there’s no need for page protection!

2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier

Reason: High levels of vandalism - suggest two month semi-protection which would span the duration of the tournament. Beeeggs (talk) 16:37, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. An IP appears to be the primary editor that is cleaning up any unconstructive edits. Also, the edit you most recently reverted was performed by an autoconfirmed editor, so semi-protection would have no impact on their ability to edit. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 15:27, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Mohammad_Hajiaghayi

Reason: The current semi-protected status of this Wikipedia page seems unnecessary, as there are no apparent reasons why it should be protected. It is unclear why it was initially placed under semi-protection. Many individuals are eager to contribute new information and awards related to the person, and it would be beneficial to allow them to do so without any barriers. The semi-protection puts anonymous users at a disadvantage, preventing valuable contributions and diverse perspectives from being included. Additionally, the semi-protected status hinders the page from being regularly updated, resulting in incomplete or outdated information. Therefore, it would be greatly appreciated if the semi-protected status could be removed, enabling a more inclusive and dynamic editing process. 208.58.94.140 (talk) 04:06, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Given the page was protected due to himself or someone on his behalf hijacking the article using an IP to turn it into a curriculum vitae with no sources to support any of their edits even if they weren't blatant promotion, the question becomes "Will these edits recur if protection is removed"? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 04:13, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
@David Eppstein: last protecting admin. Any thoughts on that? Lectonar (talk) 08:05, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Declined I think David has adequately addressed this on the talk page of the article. Being this is a BLP and there exists a valid concern that future issues would continue, I would decline unprotecting. Any IP can register or simply request changes on the article talk page, which is less an inconvenience than the disturbances that happened before. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 15:16, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Reason: The subject is notable enough. Here is the page I have I have drafted for mainspace: User:MrAnmol/sandbox/Meesho Thanks for hearing me out! MrAnmol (talk) 15:16, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Declined There is an active draft at Draft:Meesho, and once the article has demonstrated it can pass our criteria for inclusion, then it can be moved into main space. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 15:18, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Yes, I didn't know it already had a draft space. I would like to copy-paste all the things from sandbox page (should I?) to this draft page and speed up the reviewing time (how do I?). Looks like the page was disputed with 3 declined requests.

Reason: Please salt this page, as it's been speedy deleted five times already under CSD U2 or CSD G2.

(As an aside, I would also recommend changing the source code of that template so that it produces a trout on its own talk page when displayed on its own page, but still produces a trout in usertalkspace whenever it's transcluded in userspace.)

Reason: High level of vandalism from yesterday even from extended confirmed editors, after the announcement of the name change to Mohun Bagan Super Giant by the club officials. This name change is currently to be scheduled for 1 June, 2023. But this month still has 12 days. A user moved the page stating, "The club has officially confirmed that it is rebranded and it will be having the new name "Mohun Bagan SG" from June 1, 2023.". 103.56.239.113 (talk) 04:14, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Doukkala

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The article has been regularly disrupted by unsourced edits targeting ethnic terms/identity, ongoing for months ([53], [54], [55], [56], [57], [58], [59], [60], [61], [62]). I tried to restore a more stable, sourced version recently in the hope that this would discourage further disruption ([63]), but another IP has resumed changes to the ethnicity terms, in contradiction of the cited source ([64], [65], [66]), and a new account (probably the same user) is now continuing too ([67]). I've attempted to direct the recent IP editor to the talk page multiple times ([68], [69], [70], and see Talk:Doukkala).

I considered going to WP:ANI, but given the article's history it seems that most of the disruption comes from different IP users and is likely to continue. Similar disruption has been happening at other Moroccan tribe/region articles (e.g. Mzab (Moroccan tribe), Reguibat tribe, Chaouia (Morocco)), two of which have been page-protected as a result.

@Vidpro23: Please give a couple of examples of bad edits with an explanation that can be followed by someone unfamiliar with the topic. I see that the IP is aggressive but for all I know their edits are good and the aggression is due to the reversions. All I can see on article talk is from the IP.

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Only IPs have participated in the current mess. Protection will be escalated if necessary. Favonian (talk) 15:18, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
I'm leaving a comment only to complement the matter. The edit war was done by the IP 87.5.145.211 itself, as it is evident in history and in its talk page: I reverted a modification to preserve the page and explaining the incoherence/incongruence and not respecting the principles of uniformity and neutrality of Wikipedia (And I do started a discussion too, on its talk page see here). As a consequence the IP removed only partial text/datas concerning different subjects/persons, doing an impartial modification: we can see how some of them were deleted while others were left in the page. Only after s/he "drafted an answer". Best regards. (95.244.101.121) 87.15.99.81 (talk) 16:01, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

British Rail Class 313

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Consent addition of unsourced content. Maurice Oly (talk) 11:38, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Note: @Maurice Oly: Most of the recent IP edits seem to be adding retirement dates for the 313, which are then being reverted as unsourced. However there do seem to be valid sources out there for May 2023 retirement. Rather than protection, would it not be easier just to add the references to the edits the IP's are making? Apologies if I'm missing some key element here, am not in any way a railway expert! -- Euryalus (talk) 21:57, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Reply: @Euryalus: All the articles giving a retirement date are written pre-retirement date, the situation is only going to get worse come tomorrow, this is due to the British Rail Class 313 being officially withdrawn tomorrow by Southern.
So please could the article be protected before that happens, as there may not be enough editors watching the article to revert all unsourced edits which will come tomorrow.
All the unsourced edits are also incorrect by the way as Network Rail (Company that maintains the railway in the UK) still operate the British Rail Class 313 to monitor the railway line to Moorgate Railway Station.

  • Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Protection isn't for settling content disuptes. OhNoitsJamie Talk 22:50, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
    This appears to be more than content dispute, but deliberate malicious slandering on a living individual WP:BLP.
    Regarding the actual content that was made, firstly the sited sources do not even mention the individual, hence unable to verify that the person was related to either companies. Also, the statements were related incident relating to individual, not appropriate and WP:NOTNEWS. Also, connecting another company's wrongdoing to this company is WP:SYNTH. Latest change even included a picture of individuals not related to this page.
    From reviewing the history of the page, it can be seen the same content has been repeatedly posted (7 times) since October 2021. Largely similar content was also previously posted on Nomura Holdings (4 times) since December 2020 and Sun Hung Kai Properties on January 2023. It is extremely unlikely that these different editors would make these similar changes to these articles with no meaningful edit summaries since 2021. Note that these changes were made by different editors with each account created just moments before the edit, and each with still just 1 edit since joining.
    It would be better to have this article at least semi-protected so that at least no newly set up accounts with no meaningful edit history can edit the article for least a couple of months (if not longer judging that this behaviour has been ongoing and repeated on this page 7 times alone since October 2021), which would put a stop to this Sisyphean task. This is especially concerning because of the BLP violations that keep getting inserted. Thanks for the time and appreciate your help on this. Wikicheck007 (talk) 00:22, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Independent Soldiers

Semi-protection:: Reason: The blocked editor Entuziazm keeps editing this page via sock puppets that alter the content that does not reflect the sources (i.e the sentence where the Independent Soldiers are described as a mid-level gang per the cited source keeps getting changed to a high-level gang). For anyone interested in the gruesome details, go to the Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Entuziazm. No sooner does one sock puppet get blocked, then another one appears to make precisely the same edits again. It is extremely unlikely that three supposedly different editors would make precisely the same changes to the same article using very similar edit summaries since April, and four times since January. Since January, various accounts have inserted this : "The leader of the Independent Soldiers, Parminder Singh "Peter" Adiwal was shot several times and badly wounded in an attack by two members of a rival gang in April 2009 that left him astonishing doctors with his speedy recovery while slightly effecting his vision." See this edit by Thatboytwerking [71] and this edit by TheWatcher007 [72] where precisely the same sentence is being inserted. The source being cited here does not say that at all. For those curious, just go here: Long-time gangster loses appeal of sentence for assault. The correct version that Entizuiam keeps changing was that the 2009 shooting incident left Mr. Adiwal a paraplegic, which is what the source says. For purposes of being concise and brief, I will leave it here, though there are numerous other examples of this behavior that can be brought up. The same edits keep getting made since January by various accounts where the material is changed from what the sources say. If there was not enough, there is the matter of another blocked editor, TopKelownaDog, who keeps editing that article via sock puppets, though the last time that happened was in December, so he seems to have given up. It would be better to have this article semi-protected for least some time, which would put a stop to this Sisyphean task. This is especially concerning because of the BLP violations that keep getting inserted with the spurious impression being created that there is a RS supporting the claims being made.

They're clearly not going to give up whatever they're told. Number 57 19:46, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
@Number 57: My reading of the page's history is that both you and the IP are edit warring over one of the images used in the article. I'd recommend in the future you report the other editor to WP:ANEW or WP:ANI instead of continously reverting them. I'll semi-protect the page for two weeks to let all involved parties come to an agreement, but I hope you avoid editing the article's image during this period.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Czello, it is WP:NOTVANDALISM. Talk page discussion was started an hour after the IP's last edit. The IP's talk page is a red link at the time of my writing this, so that's not great, either. El_C 11:21, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – BLP issue. A variety of IP addresses (v4 and v6) located in the same city have been repeatedly adding potentially defamatory information "cited" from "WAGS unfiltered", which appears to be an unmoderated forum (and the contents are not available to non-members). The content is repeatedly being removed from a different set of IPs located in a different city. Edit warring going back into april. Tarl N. (discuss) 01:00, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Disruption seems to be coming from 2601:8C:4780:9A0:0:0:0:0/64 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)). There have been very few warnings for IPs of that range.

Reason: IPs based in Saudi Arabia have changed the nationality of routinely self-described Yemeni Abu Baker Salem to that of "Saudi".

Biryani

Reason: This article has been placed under temporary page protection three times, the last time for three months, largely due to anger regarding the article's statement that the dish originates among South Asian Muslims. Despite this, edits trying to remove this clause, and editors then having to restore it, have persisted. I am thus requesting page protection once again, ideally indefinitely but at least longer than the 3 months given last time, particularly in light of the fact that the dispute around this article is likely rooted in Hindu nationalist tensions.

Reason: For some reason, this template documentation page is subject to somewhat frequent misguided edits.

Babe Ruth

Reason: One user constantly keeps changing the lead of the article from "George Herman Ruth Jr." to "George Herman Ruth". The former is his legal name but they keep on removing the 'Jr.' whenever someone places it back.

For more info, go to the article's talk page and see discussions titled "Junior". They keep insisting they are right when they are wrong. All The Knowledge in the World (talk) 20:36, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Not done First of all, editor Wehwalt who keeps changing it, is an administrator on Wikipedia. Administrators are the ones who set and remove protection. So, wouldn't do any good in this instance. Also, Wehwalt has linked to the appropriate guideline for his removing the Jr. MOS:JR "Using Jr., Sr., or other such distinctions, including in the lead sentence of an article, is only for cases in which the name with the suffix is commonly used in reliable sources." The Jr. on Babe Ruth is not commonly used in sourcing. — Maile (talk) 21:26, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Galloway, Ohio

Reason: Individual(s) from a few IP addresses continually change the page to add in a Mayor field with an entry of Drew Joseph Barrow as the individual. I am having to continually revert this as it is factually incorrect. This has been happening with some manner of regularity over the past three years or so.

The unincorporated community of Galloway, OH is managed by the Prairie Township Board of Trustees, of Prairie Township, OH.

This information can be corroborated and validated through the following articles and webpages: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Prairie_Township,_Franklin_County,_Ohio | https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Unincorporated_area | https://www.prairietownship.org/147/Board-of-Trustees

The course of action requested is either 'pending changes protection' or' semi-protection'. Without protection changes, reverting of edits is the only other available option of content control for false information in this specific situation. If the request/attempts to change diminish over time, a request for protection removal will be tendered.

Thank you for your time and understanding. Boojiejuice (talk) 17:06, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

CRASHlock explicitly does not block edits, so you would still be reverting them with that in place. If you want to outright stop the edits, you want semi-protection. Note that we do not engage in circular referencing, and that you are obligated to disclose any connexion to the town's leadership if you are editing on their behalf. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 20:09, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Reason: An editor is repeatedly attempting to slant this BLP to suit his/her personal view of the subject, against what has been discussed on the talk page and making no new arguments or comments of any kind there. The article subject is also currently involved in a matter prominent in Canadian national news and has consequently attracted a number of IP editors (assuming they're not the aforementioned editor) making demands on the talk page while it was semi-protected until today. ₪ MIESIANIACAL 01:50, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – As previously, persistent edit-warring by IPs and accounts despite multiple messages and explanations at the most recent editors talk page; a recent request for protection was declined due to an error in the level requested but action is needed to stop the edit-warring / disruption / combative attitude of the account mainly editing. Eagleash (talk) 22:21, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Declined @Eagleash: Semi-protection would not help as there are no sufficiently recent IP edits and the editor concerned would not be affected by such protection.

Helion Energy

Semi-protection: An IP editor has deleted a paragraph of particularly embarrassing data from a government tech report several times from the "Criticism" section, and has also deleted the POV dispute tag. When they finally started engaging on talk, they showed a lack of competence suggesting that the information needs to be removed because it's not sourced in the government report, where it is in fact sourced to discussions with project leads. I believe this is an attempt to whitewash information about the viability of this recently in-the-news company (OpenAI's Sam Altman is a lead investor, and he recently convinced Microsoft, from whom OpenAI has investments and an apparently conflicted relationship here, to promise to be the company's first customer in the future.)

Reason: Recently, I was reviewing a draft that complies with WP:GNG and WP:BLP, but I noticed that the target title is protected. Please remove the protection from this title, as it has been protected for the past six years since the subject has gained notable status, and I need to move the draft throughout the AFC process. Thank you! DreamRimmer (talk) 12:21, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Unprotected. For general reference, it is handy if you include the link the draft so the admin can easily go and verify that the article stands a snowball's chance in hell surviving AFD. It just makes it a bit easier for us, particularly if we are on mobile. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 02:10, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

The last SPI for the LTA in question was in Feb 2022. I'm not sure if that's because further socks have been summarily handled by CUs without a formal case on-wiki, if they've gone inactive, or they've been cut off from internet access somehow. Can a CU who's familiar with the LTA in question opine if Bambifan is still active? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 08:08, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
Not done. A CU can't go on a fishing expedition like this, per Foundation policy. As for the denial, I don't see a valid reason given for removing protection on an article that isn't subject to high volumes of edits, but is a high target for vandalism. The fact that it isn't heavily watched or edited makes it particularly vulnerable to vandalism that could go unnoticed. The talk page still works fine for requested edits, and semi is a fairly low bar for editors to have to pass to edit it directly. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:31, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Very strict edit access for a page that hasn’t had issues for 5 months. It hurts IP editors, which I formerly was, who wanted to make contributions, but don’t want to use the very laborious edit request button every time. If the bad issues on the page continue, then it can be restored. But it is extremely limiting to IP editors and others who were caught in the crossfire and have been completely locked out of the article due to the blue lock. The need for strong protection has passed, so how about doing semi protection?? TenFordWest (talk) 18:55, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Temprorary Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The IP 86.0.0.0/8 has been consistently attempting to downplay the subject's links with Manchester to assert that he supports Chelsea football club!

Yes, I have a dynamic IP. I can't help that, sorry. But I have no interest in Jim Ratcliffe's interest in Chelsea F. C. My only interest in this article is the fact he was born in Lancashire.
