Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Euryalus (talk) 14:12, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Disruptive editing: I pointed out the statements related to rankings violate WP:SYNTH, WP:WHATABOUT, WP:BOOSTER and WP:UNDUE and there needs to be a different source, but 142.103.232.16 is keep promoting academic boosterism without providing reason. 219.66.157.138 (talk) 13:22, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ideally this would be resolved in discussion on the article talkpage, but it seems no one has done so. Recommend that as a next step while this protection is in place. -- Euryalus (talk) 14:08, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Lots of recent IP vandalism, which appears to be a continuation from earlier vandalism by newer users who were warned regarding their edits. A shortish semi-protection would go a long way. Trigaranus (talk) 12:38, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Euryalus (talk) 14:20, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Latest LTA accounts blocked (again) with a short semi-protection as they'll likely get bored of this page and move on to others. Pleas repost if this resumes when the semi expires and it can be applied for longer. Euryalus (talk) 14:17, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. EnormityOP (talk) 11:48, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: This very long page contains many unsupported statements, incorrect statements. and potentially libellous comments. It needs to be unprotected to permit corrections to be made. Thanks. 81.64.175.75 (talk) 12:27, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Favonian (talk) 12:32, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because in this page many things which is written by wrong people to decrease the real history and we have a source to update this page but due to protection we can't edit ....... . Nitishjariya1 (talk) 13:29, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Aside from the most recent pending change which got rejected, other changes, esp. by anonymous users, don't seem to be disruptive or any form of vandalism.

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. -- Scott Burley (talk) 21:13, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent disruptive edits in the Persian language page. For instance the older versions can be compared to newest one:

" https://fa.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D8%AA%D8%B1%DA%A9%DB%8C%D8%A8%DB%8C%D8%A7%D8%AA&diff=cur&oldid=37400684"

Declined – You are obviously referring to the Persian article, fa:ترکیبیات, not the Combinatorics article on this (English language) Wikipedia. The administrators on this Wikipedia hold no authority on the Persian one. Favonian (talk) 19:40, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello, looks like you've reached the wrong spot. This is not persian, this is English. To report such, go to Farsi wikipedia relevant page. ToadetteEdit (talk) 19:44, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Tetra Urano (talk) 19:57, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing from multiple users; claiming that the final episodes aired today, despite the fact that no reliable source stated that it has ended. BrickMaster02 (talk) 03:19, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 01:38, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Continued disruptive editing/vandalism by new users and IP users. I think semi-protection would be useful until the attention dies down. Spagooder (talk) 07:26, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Farrafiq is confirmed, which makes it only one non-confirmed user edit since 26 June. Ymblanter (talk) 08:08, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
He was doing that because an IP user changed some wording on June 30, and a new user and IP user (possibly same person) did some disruptive editing on the 24th and 25th. I get where you're going though, quite a bit was before I added the historical accuracy section to satisfy those types of contributors. Spagooder (talk) 19:35, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
Declined Seems to have been handled, per above and lack of edits in the last 15 hours. Daniel Case (talk) 01:36, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. Daniel Case (talk) 01:41, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Hi level IP traffic 24.28.41.89 (talk) 02:53, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. That article has very little activity and I cannot understand why you are requesting page protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:51, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Page has been the constant target of vandalism, and needs protection.

User:Lalalaland555 is causing havoc and vandalism on the Apollodorus of Damascus page with his or her disruptive edits. Encyclopedia Britannica, which is a credible source clearly labels, and describes Apollodorus of Damascus as a Greek engineer, and yet this user and others like him/her are unable to accept that.

Actually, the page has been the constant target of vandalism. Lalalaland555 is a POV pusher that's been openly hostile towards other users with a differing view. This is evident from his comments during his edits where this user refers to others as "hateful nationalists," and refers to honest edits as 'vandalism,' when this user himself/herself is the one that's causing vandalism. https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Apollodorus_of_Damascus&diff=1162998228&oldid=1162996640

It is also worth pointing out that this person also made a reddit page slamming other Wikipedia editors on this topic. [21]https://www.reddit.com/r/AskLatakia/comments/14m636w/alert_guys_can_you_correct_this_wikipedia_mistake/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1

This individual's hostility and bullying behavior is also evident from the message he or she left me on my talk page User talk:Gramaic#Apollodorus of damascus is syrian.

Also, here is the reference from Encyclopedia Britannica concerning Apollodorus of Damascus, [22]https://www.britannica.com/biography/Apollodorus-of-Damascus, which clearly references him as an engineer that was Greek.

Apollodorus of Damascus needs protection from this user, and others disruptive editors like him/her.

Thank you, Gramaic | Talk 10:47, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Unprotection: No reason for this to be protected. The protection on this page was the result of the protection from Titanic (1997 film) being transferred to this title when the article was moved here ... and the article was here for less than a day ... after an editor moved the article to this page without discussion.

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because in this page some people made wrong edits and I know many things about this community and had source , many people of this community is not happy with this because it's this page didn't show the real history I request you please unprotect this page so I can make many changes which is required ....... . Nitishjariya1 (talk) 03:30, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

This page, like all caste-related pages, are under a contentious topic. You'll need to show your sources, either here or on the talk page; we're not going to unprotect it at the say-so of someone who sounds like yet another pissed-off caste-warrior. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 04:25, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
this community lives in India , and the edits which done by last few person which from other country who didn't know the real history made many changes in this , I don't want to unprotect but let me authorise to make nice changes it help to look real this page real , right now this page shown wrong history about this community I'll provided you a very loyal sources Nitishjariya1 (talk) 06:43, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
Source Nitishjariya1 (talk) 06:50, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
"Very loyal source" does not have the implications you think it does, and implies the source was cherry-picked. As to the source, I would ask a member of WP:WikiProject India to assess it; automated translation stumbles on most Indian languages. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 07:10, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
Yes I'm not able to provide source in your comfortable language but in this article you can clearly see they said lodh lodhi are not rajput but they are rajput and Rajput is a title which given to the warriors Source lodhi Rajput Nitishjariya1 (talk) 07:35, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
But in reality , lodhi are rajput Nitishjariya1 (talk) 07:36, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

The article is apparently the target of a persistent sockpuppetteer?

I'm sorely tempted to call WP:IAR on this one and leave the protection in place. Twice now, on March 23 and June 24, IPs and accounts (at least one of them just-in-time-extended-confirmed) have been ready to pounce as soon as the protection expired, creating an awful mess that was selectively deleted from the edit history. However, as the OP has failed to do so, I notify AmandaNP and Courcelles, both of whom have protected the article. Favonian (talk) 16:09, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Whatever ridiculous material is added in order to defame Dr. Lenz, the vast majority of his students are united in their love and appreciation for everything he did for them, myself included.

Indefinite semiprotection. Griffin is a prominent conspiracy theorist whose article has been under pending changes protection since January 2019 for exactly what you'd expect. Pending changes protection was built to prevent bad edits from new/anon users while allowing good edits from the same but it's no longer a good fit here since those editors never make good edits. (The only exception I could find in the last several months? An IP editor, two days ago, whose fine work was a revert of another IP editor's insertion of a lie.)

Indefinite full protection: This article has been semi-protected since March 2014, but the article is a train wreck. It is based on official census data with 2011 being the most recent census and the census is the only reliable source. However, the 2011 data has been relentlessly modified using unsourced and poorly-sourced present-day population estimates and at least 44 urban areas have been added by almost as many users despite not being listed as cities in the 2011 census. The edits include extended-confirmed accounts. I'm currently editing the article and will be working on clean up for a long period of time, but even after I am done, I believe this article will need to be remain fully protected based on the article history. (I am WP:INVOLVED so I cannot do this myself.) Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:57, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected I’m not unsympathetic to the full protection idea, but, two points, first, limiting it to EC accounts should limit the pool to a small enough number warning and blocking anyone left for addition of unsourced content should be possible. Second, using full protection to leave the article to only admin editors is a very drastic measure, and I’m not sure even admins can make edits on their own initiative per a strict reading of policy on fully protected articles. So, let’s see if this helps. Courcelles (talk) 00:39, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
Makes sense to me. Let's see how much it helps. I can add some inline warnings too. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 00:44, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

I fear that section mentioning the LTA's "favorites" may be outdated. The paragraph hasn't been altered once since the page's creation.

Reason: Requesting Pending Changes Protection - there have been two edits from an IP address that were quite strange and could probably be considered as minor vandalism (one involved deleting a word and adding an unnecessary paragraph without any good reason and another replaced the word "Following" with "love day", which does not make any sense in that section's context whatsoever). Considering this article is about a notable upcoming service and will likely be accessed by many people in the leadup to and following the service's launch, in my opinion it is a good idea to upgrade protection to Pending Changes protection so that unregistered/new users don't make any disruptive edits to the article. Jh15s (talk) 11:59, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It's just one disruptive edit by an IP editor. Also there is way too much activity for PC.

Reason: It's been over a decade since this was create protected (apparently to stop an IP recreating the same copyvio version. I think that's long enough. The cartoon is in my opinion independently notable (being the first theatrical Looney Tunes short since 1969 and originally being released as a self-contained work), but even if it doesn't get its own article, it was included the compilation film Daffy Duck's Quackbusters the following year, which might be an appropriate redirect target.

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because Wikipedia is an information encyclopedia. It should be free for anyone to edit. It is not right to protect an article just because a few people can't handle themselves. Besides, Wikipedia doesn't have any problems with any of the other nearly 100,000 articles, but this one is particularly locked and I don't understand why. Salamanderman476 (talk) 06:16, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Because the protection is in place as Arbitration enforcement. The only way to get it lifted is to file an Amendment request, but it's unlikely that such a request will be entertained based off of one single article in a topic area littered with minefields looking to explode. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 07:13, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
Sorry but protection is standard for articles in certain topics. This article is one of many listed at Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log/2017#Extended confirmed protections. On the one hand, open editing would be good but on the other hand, experience shows that disruption from new editors can exhaust established editors with a bad result.

Already protected by administrator Ponyo. for one month; I have also added a CTOPS notice to the talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 19:30, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: I would like to request page protection for this particular page due to recurring incidents of vandalism. As evidence, you can refer to the following link: [34], where the author's name, Vladimir Romanyuk, was changed to Vladimir Putin. This is just one example, but there have been other instances in the past where the page has been defaced. K1ltu SE (talk) 18:41, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

@K1ltu SE: The vandalism isn't enough to warrant protection. There needs to be persistent vandalism or disruptive editing for protection to be warranted; the SpaceEngine article hasn't been edited by anyone since June 26, and the last time it was vandalized was on June 21. Pages are usually protected if they are persistently vandalized, so I wouldn't worry about this article if I were you. Nythar (💬-🍀) 18:48, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Permanent semi-protection: This article needs to get semi-protected permanently. Apart from being a significant topic that makes it important to academically develop this article Constructively and maintain quality standards, it has been a frequent target of disruptive edits, Sectarian POV pushing and potential vandalism by anon IPs and sleeper accounts.

This phenomenon is likely due to ambiguities involved in the etymology of the term "Wahhabism" itself; in addition to high political sensitivities revolving around it. The article was semi-protected for a period of 6 months in 2022, only to experience waves of sporadic disruptions after its expiry, with one wave emerging recently.

Reason: Potential for COI edits. Anonymous editors with IP addresses in the same geographic region as the article's subject have provided numerous edits, providing very detailed information on the subject (e.g. voluminous detail on Katchanovski's blog posts, each carefully archived before citation) and responded to questions on the talk page about potential COI with wild charges of editor bias that have acted to "smear" and "censor" Dr Katchanovski.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. Due to persistent non-autoconfirmed edits including vandalism, constant changing of result without consensus despite the clear hidden note, and other forms of disruption I believe this article should simply be semi-protected to save pending changes reviewers time, as there is little to no constructive edits from non-autoconfirmed sources.

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – There has been repeated disruptive editing from user Apophis82, trying to exclude intersex people from the lead definition in this article (which I added today as it seemed a glaring error in the summary), the article contains multiple references to intersex people experiencing this condition as do external sources. Having looked back in the edit history the edit warring user first made an amendment to change 'child' to 'male' erroneously a few weeks ago and are now protecting that edit. This condition is in the news as the verdict on Caster Semenya's hearing in the ECHR was made today, she is intersex and experiences this condition, Apophis82 seems potentially to be editing this article to make the point that she is 'male'. I do not want to 'edit war' further. Mountaincirquetalk 11:01, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Full-protection: Edit War by established accounts. Requesting full protection and reversion back to pre-edit war revision while discussion of sources continues on talk. I was just asked to do this as I've done the current semi. But since then have edited the article. Either full or semi, the protection needs to be renewed.

Posting request I received here, which I endorse. This looks like the last stable edit that incorporated concerns/compromise: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Witchcraft&oldid=1164650653

More detail:

"This is getting out of hand. They're now ignoring guidelines and re-writing the lead willy-nilly while discussion is ongoing. They've put the Wiccan definition on top (so the lead no longer matches the body), are using dictionaries as sources (without proper formatting), and are deleting parts of the lead that they don't like. There have been several reverts today. I think the article should be restored to the last stable version and given greater protection or even locked until this issue is dealt with. It's protection is due to run out soon, and it will be getting a lot of traffic tomorrow as Margaret Murray will be the featured article. – Asarlaí (talk) 00:16, 12 July 2023 (UTC)"

- CorbieVreccan 18:24, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Comment: I don't see an edit war, but I do see a lot of healthy, ongoing, multi-project discussion on the talk page as the result of requests left on several relevant project pages, centred around the previous controversial opening sentence in the lede that sets the whole tone of the article: Witchcraft traditionally means the use of magic or supernatural powers to harm others. and short description, Practice of magic, usually to cause harm.
On one hand we have established gatekeepers who insist on this unbalanced lede, and have now emphasised (in bold) words and phrases in citation quote parameters to emphasise their point that witchcraft is most commonly seen as "malignant" (after I advised against underscoring the words and phrases), as this verges on WP:EDITORIAL or WP:OR (and debatably WP:OWN).
There have also been accusations that the Neopagan community have piled-in, but I don't see that; indeed, I saw the comment request at Skepticism.
And on the other hand we have those who see the article as exhibiting systemic bias (over the course of centuries in Christendom, and in more recent times).

information Administrator note Esowteric (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is an involved participant in this situation, and has now followed me and other editors to several boards, and followed another user to my talk page, to continually comment after us with their POV. - CorbieVreccan 19:16, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Comment: Yes, we are both involved: Edit difference.. In checking which projects had been notified, since there was a misguided accusation that projects had not been notified, I left a comment at systemic bias to air my point of view that this was not systemic bias by this negligent editor but rather systemic bias in the article and in the scholarly sources most recently used (earlier revisions used different reliable sources and treated the subject much differently). I also left a comment on CorbieVreccan's page when I saw that Asarlaí had contacted him about protecting the page (as per their comment above), merely echoing CorbieVreccan's view that the place for talking about improvements to the article was the article talk page (not in an off-page huddle about how to deal with interlopers like me).
All I want is for the lede to more neutrally reflect the content of the article, rather than pushing anti-witchery down readers' throats. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 19:26, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism who does not abide by the rules that were jointly agreed upon on the Talk page. Preferably block for IP users only until August 2, the day of the show broadcast. Dominikcapuan (talk) 21:10, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

I am the IP this user is referring to and I would implore anyone reviewing this to read the article’s talk page (where no agreement or consensus was reached) and crucially the edit summaries which explain the situation.
One of the contestants on the upcoming season of Drag Race Philippines is called ØV CÜNT. In the official ‘Meet the Queens’ video released by World of Wonder, the name is shown on screen in a graphic as ØV CÜNT. In an Entertainment Weekly article about the contestants, they censored it to ØV C—-T.
The Wikipedia article incorrectly stated that the name would be censored in graphic renderings in the series, which we can’t possibly know until it airs, and isn’t clarified either way in the source (the EW article). The best indication we have is the Meet the Queens video from the production company which shows the name uncensored in a graphic rendering. I added the video as a reference but this editor has lied that it is unacceptable as a reference (despite another video from the production company being used as a reference for the premiere date).
We reached a compromise of inserting a note which pointed out the differences between the EW article and the official video, but this editor has been edit warring, despite me asking them not to on the article’s talk page and the user talk page. I believe they are imposing their personal preference on the article without using logic and reason. 2.24.250.74 (talk) 21:21, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
In my part I can say that how the compromise is made and how it was to be respected, since some people don't want to get into their ears, is written in the appropriate talk on the page. -- Dominikcapuan (talk) 21:37, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
Not least because the source that the IP user insists on including is not even the source he is attesting to (since it is the video related to the cast announcment and not the MTQ, which is on a paid platform ergo... which cannot be used as a source as a matter of principle). -- Dominikcapuan (talk) 21:42, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – IP Address sockpuppetry. Hard to track editor down and discuss the edits because they keep changing their IP address every time they edit but it's clear it's the same person because the edits are the same. They keep adding information after I remove it that is non-notable and/or irrelevant information to article making it excessively long. Attempted to reach out to one of the IPs making the edits and there was no response and a few hours later they edited the page again from a different IP address just a few hours later.Rockchalk717 21:18, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Ever since the article was automatically unprotected in October 25th, 2022, there has been many cases of unregistered IP accounts or sockpuppet accounts adding either "fanon" information containing fake episodes/VHS openings, and adding mentions of foreign channels that don't even air the programme. Most articles for animated children's programming (eg: Paw Patrol, Bluey, Caillou) seem to be semi-protected for this reason. Chazpelo (talk) 19:45, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

@Noorullah21: I merged these two requests because they both relate to the same issue. You mean indefinte semi-protection (full protection would mean no one could edit apart from administrators). Very few pages are indefinitely protected and the disagreement at these articles is far too minor to warrant lengthy protection. I see that nearly all 103.120.71.93's edits have been reverted but I cannot see an explanation of why. Someone with no topic knowledge cannot judge whether the IP's edits are disruptive and they do not look like WP:VAND. Can you add an explanation at Talk:Bahmani Sultanate and ping me when done? If the IP is adding bad information, that needs to be explained to the IP. If they persist, a block could be considered. Johnuniq (talk) 05:29, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – Many users have, in the past, and in the present (see user BeardedOverlord), have removed content from this article; mainly relating to the generally agreed upon scholary consensis that the Balli Kombëtar were a Fascist millitant group - usually to protect the integrity and history - of the country. It may seem a little exetreme, but when said users are asked to stop, they almost never do, only stopping when blocked from Wikipedia. (see history on page) I'd be grateful to whomever protects this article. Wikipedia does not deserve those who reshape history for their own personal bias. IncompA (talk) 22:49, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Similar to others that have since been protected for at least a month, this article has been the target of a LTA who keeps creating new sockpuppets every week (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Norprobr for more info). Hirschrdam is the latest obvious sock (restoring Jordinesi's edit). No point in reverting them while the article is unprotected, otherwise they'll just create another one as usual.

@Ritchie333: the sockpuppetry is obvious. I usually report their new socks to WP:AIV, but from past experience, all that does is encourage them to create plenty more socks in a short space of time. If you could at least protect the article for now (until the admins who are familiar with the LTA's case turn up), that would be a great help. If you're not comfortable with the idea, that's fine too (it can wait I guess). Thanks. M.Bitton (talk) 12:01, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Several IP accounts have made edits reflecting that the band has broken up. The information is almost guaranteed to be true, but they aren't providing citations; all they're doing is changing their active years from 1992-present to 1992-2023 and occasionally changing the verbs in their intro from "is" to "was."

The information has not been reported yet by a reputable or secondary source, and the only statement the band has made so far is behind a paywall on Patreon. (Also, given what I've heard about what sparked the [likely] breakup, I highly suspect this page will be heavily and contentiously edited in upcoming days/weeks.)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 19:37, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Constant edit warring over presentation of list; talk page discussion and mediation seemed to briefly work but has not stopped it. Given they are confirmed users who behaved for a break and then went back to it, a higher and longer level of protection is requested, to force them to discuss without editing and stick to it. I have reverted to a stable version already. See also comment at my talkpage. Kingsif (talk) 23:04, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Commentary:I do agree with this, the more people go to talk page and discuss about the article, the better, i saw many editors (the ones that edited outside the editwar) wenting to edit instead of even check talk pages, i do agree this is a good measure. Meganinja202 (talk) 23:17, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

@Kingsif and Meganinja202: it appears a user has been blocked due to the edit warring. Is the protection still needed? Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 15:19, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

This is a followup to this request. Thank you so much, though only two weeks will be pretty futile against a 4 year LTA. I had assumed that would include the Talk pages lol. The abuser is aggressively trolling Talk pages, and that's now half the content of Talk:Kansas City metropolitan area. So how do we handle that? Delete the entire threads, including responses by the willfully trolled? Or just archive it?

I suppose sandboxes should not be protected and a couple that I checked had a trivial number of transclusions (from 2 to 16). However, the whole idea of User:MusikBot II/TemplateProtector is that it saves a lot of time and argument by uniformly applying a set of agreed protections. There are only two exclusions at the config and we are not going to add these sandboxes although that would probably be unnecessary. Before wasting the time of the bot operator, I'll ask here if anyone knows whether the bot should have unprotected these pages? I'm wondering if it is a glitch that they have not been unprotected or whether the bot only unprotects pages that it earlier protected. Johnuniq (talk) 03:58, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
Split out from Special:Permalink/1166523810#Template and module sandboxes to prevent the bot from acting up. It seems like MusikAnimal wishes to seek community input due to prior concerns about wheel-warring, so it's not a glitch: the bot only increases protections and does not decrease them. HJ Mitchell, who protected the six animanga sandboxes, allows administrators on his talk page to undo his actions if the rationales no longer applies. Geschichte protected Template:Fake heading/sandbox and is no longer an administrator; nor is AGK, who protected Template:Designation/sandbox. The others were formerly high-risk templates, but no longer. Unprotected, Sdrqaz (talk) 06:10, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Three for delinting

Reason: I'd like access to these 3 pages to address the Fostered content and other WP:LINT errors found within. First two are exadmin in good standing who have not edited within the last 12 months and were selfprotected, so asking the protecting admin prior to this request is not necessary. Third one was protected by former Admin User:Wknight94 (retired and last edit was two years ago), so I also don't feel I'd get a reply. I have Extended Confirmed access, so that or lower is fine, whatever level is appropriate for each.

If I have overlooked anything that would be an issue, I am happy to discuss anything if you have further questions. Thank you. Zinnober9 (talk) 07:02, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:41, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP disruption. IPs are repeatedly attempting to alter a recently deceased person's age without providing any sources to verify these claims. On the other hand, the available sources reporting on her death, verify the opposite of what the IPs claim. To me, this smells WP:Vandalism. Therefore, I request a raise in page protection to protect the article. - SilentResident (talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 21:45, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: The page was protected due to recurrent vandalism after the person in question told his YouTube audience to edit his Wikipedia page. This was years ago, and the attention on this particuar video has reduced significantly.

This person fits the notability requirements, so with the previous point, I believe that keeping the page permanently deleted is in violation of the deletion policy.

This is a second followup to this request. I don't know if anybody ever saw my last posting of this request. Thank you so much, though only two weeks will be pretty futile against a 4 year LTA.

Delete the entire threads, including responses by the willfully trolled? Or just archive it? Can an admin do that for me?

Reason: Many IPs and unexperienced editors are changing information, either vandalism or simply not reading notes. Most of them are related to the Unnamed Subtropical Storm, the most often currently is changing what the strongest storm is. I will bring up a discussion at WP:WPTC about strongest storm soon. ✶Mitch199811 23:01, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. (talk) 23:09, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
@Daniel Quinlan The last 8 edits, all done within 2 hours, were all related to either vandalism or the strongest storm dispute. And previously today, Unnamed was changed to 90L. There are comments under Unnamed stating to change the name. As far as I can tell, a footnote explaining the fact is unnamed has never been done before. ✶Mitch199811 23:14, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
@Mitch199811: Perhaps it would help to add a separate "Strongest hurricane" section since this is an article about hurricanes. Or perhaps make some other much more visible change to discourage incorrect edits like these. It looks like most of these edits were made using the visual editor and most if not all of these appear to be good faith edits even if they are incorrect. If it gets significantly worse, feel free to resubmit the RfPP. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:34, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
I have made them visible to visual editor and there has never been a strongest storm section in any seasonal article. ✶Mitch199811 00:49, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed protection: Please provide extended-confirmed protection for 10 days due to violation of WP:FUTURE and persistent addition of poorly sourced material. Imsaneikigai (talk) 15:17, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP edit warring over the numbering of the latest season of Futurama currently airing on Hulu.

IP editors are trying to number it season 11 based on Hulu's official naming from broadcast order, but the page explicitly has historically used production order (after much prior debate, see talk page). Production order would make the latest season number 8. It seems the IP editors are not attempting any discussion in the talk page, and are not updating the rest of the seasons to use the broadcast season numbering, so it is likely these are troll edits rather than serious attempts to switch the page to broadcast order.

I'm requesting a short duration (1 month? 2 weeks?) protection, either using pending changes or semi-protection to help quiet the edit war.

In case any non-trolls want to seriously discuss switching to broadcast order, I started a thread in the talk page, requesting holding off on further season number editing until consensus can be reached. BBUCommander (talk) 23:42, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Three fostered content fix requests

Hello, in the past month I've addressed nearly all of the fostered content errors on user talk pages, and have 10 remaining on full protected pages. The three I'd like assistance on fixing today are the following archives of Master Jay's. I contacted Master Jay last week for one of these errors hoping to open dialogue and get all three addressed, but have had no response. If you would be willing, would you make the following adjustments?

On User talk:Master Jay/Archives May-June 2006 in the "RfA Thank you" section at the very bottom, change

{| cellpadding=2 style="background-color:AliceBlue;text-align:left"
[[Image:F-15 takeoff.jpg|left|174px]]
|-
|'''''Thank you!'''''

to

{| cellpadding=2 style="background-color:AliceBlue;text-align:left"
|-
|[[Image:F-15 takeoff.jpg|left|174px]] '''''Thank you!'''''

to correct the fostered content error.

On User talk:Master Jay/Archives July-Nov 2006 in the "Dear Jay" section, change

{| style="vertical-align:top" |

To correct the fostered content error due to the | placement, the bolding/stripped span error from onion nested bolds, and updates the fonts to span styles to clear the obsoletes.

On User talk:Master Jay/Archives Jan-Mar 2006 in the "F U" section, add nowiki tags to the bunny art to keep the wikitable notation in the foot from activating and causing a fostered content issue:

Reason: There has been the addition of Clark's death without a reliable source/or the use of Facebook as the source. This has been constantly reverted, however his death his still being added by IP, newly registered users, etc. Not sure what the move is, but since there's no secondary or reliable source publishing an obituary, we must assume BLP.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent attempts to claim this person's real name is "Beneful", a brand of dog food. This began as obvious vandalism and has moved into more subtle vandalism over the last six months. They've also claimed that his TV show was named "The Beneful Report", which is blatantly false, Google turns up nothing. The IP has sourced this unlikely claim about his name to a German news website, but it isn't specialist and hasn't done in-depth reporting, and only published this claim after the article was first vandalised, so it's clearly likely to be circular reporting. I've asked the IP for a source showing evidence of in-depth reporting and they've just kept reverting. Blythwood (talk) 17:39, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Multiple fully-protected user talk pages from the aughties

Multiple fully-protected user talk pages from the aughties

These pages are fully-protected, and have a few busted links.

This doesn't really matter a whole lot -- who gives a damn if a user talk page from 2008 has a broken link? -- but I figure it is worth mentioning (and why are these pages protected forever anyway?) For the purposes of these find-replaces, it is probably better to just clip the first parts (i.e. Signpost/Tools/Spamlist -> Signpost/Subscribe) due to variant uses of "Wikipedia:", "WP:", spaces versus underscores, etc etc. jp×g 04:14, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason: On the talk page of this article, I have laid out how the results that came from the states website were wrong for a county, and also what the correct results were (and how we absolutely know to a certainty what went wrong; this being a typo from a poll worker), yet someone with a dynamic ip address keeps on undoing my edits to fix the error, thereby bringing it back.
