Wikipedia:Help desk

Reason: In essence, IPs "demanding" that Wikipedia not write about a certain candidate as-is according to NPOV, claiming without reliable sources that another fits the bill (and that it's "biased", as expected). 2601AC47 (talk) 21:12, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Declined I don't know what an "unauthorized group" is here. Also, you could have warned them or, better yet, left them a note. Also, you could have explained your edit in an edit summary--all this, plus the complaint, is actually disruptive. Drmies (talk) 02:51, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – BLP which has been the subject of persistent insulting vandalism by IP editors. ―Howard • 🌽33 23:28, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Unless I'm missing something (and let me know if I am), this article has not before been protected. While protection is currently warranted, going straight to indef might be overkill. However, a further period than 10 days may become necessary in the future.

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 13:32, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The history of protection of this page warrants one year semi-protection to mitigate some of the issues that have occurred recently and the inability of PC to reasonably deal with the cadence of problematic edits. However, by my review, the edits introduced by autoconfirmed editors -- largely not rising to the level of BLP violations -- are of a different character than those made by the IP editors and the non-autoconfirmed editors and exist on the precipice of what could be characterized as a content dispute. Before EC is applied, there needs to be some evidence of discussion failing. However, there is no discussion on the article's Talk page and, insofar as I can tell, no discussion on the individual Talk pages of the editors in question. Chetsford (talk) 20:05, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation

Reason: Getting vandalized by IPs due to recent news events. Since I created the article years ago and have it on my watchlist, I'm recusing myself as involved, but if I were seeing this edit history for the first time I'd be very strongly considering some semi-protection Daniel Case (talk) 18:46, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 24 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. As of the timestamp, by my count, there have been seven recent edits to the article, two of which were obvious cases of vandalism by IP editors, two were reverts of said vandalism, one was a zero byte copyedit, and two -- by registered editors -- added content that's probably WP:UNDUE and poorly sourced, but can be addressed through the normal process of discussion (however, the last attempt at discussion on the Talk page occurred two years ago). That said, I have no doubt that, due to recent events, PC protection will not be sufficient and will need to be adjusted to something more substantial. I'll plan to watchlist the article as well. Chetsford (talk) 19:44, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Template:Lang-he-a

Unprotection: No reason for this when the parent template isn't even protected. Gonnym (talk) 08:59, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

  • The reason you protect a redirect is not the same as the reasons you would protect the target. The target, Template:Hebrew audio, IS protected, btw, just at a lower level (semi). This makes sense as few people watch redirects, so the possibility of undetected vandalism is much higher for that redirect than the template. I'm not inclined to unprotect as I don't see how the protection is actually stopping anyone from making a legitimate edit, but will leave open for another admin to review. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 09:44, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
Not unprotected – Concur with Dennis Brown. Favonian (talk) 10:56, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Page has been blanked several times, or sourced information has altered, with editors noting a desire to keep the content secret. However, this is content that is already extensively reported in published and online sources. This page has existed and hosted essentially the same chart since 2005, but the first attempt to remove it was not until 2021. Maltice (talk) 20:04, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 60 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I'm not sure 60 days will solve the underlying issue, but it's the best I can do given the short history of page protection. If this is insufficient, it can be re-reported and protection of longer duration applied. Chetsford (talk) 20:14, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Frequent vandalism since 16:01, 25 May 2024. Alith Anar 13:39, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. While the article does appear to undergo spates of vandalism, in the last 30 days there has only been one instance of vandalism, by an IP editor which was almost immediately reverted. Our WP:NO-PREEMPT policy requires protection be applied for the shortest period possible to stop the disruption. There is no period of protection short enough to arrest a single instance of vandalism. However, if a pattern emerges, please re-report. Chetsford (talk) 19:56, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Edit warring, COI editing, unsourced additions. Encoded  Talk 💬 18:35, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. There have only been two recent problematic edits to this article, one by a probable WP:COI editor and the second almost certainly by the same editor forgetting to login to their account. At this time, there are less onerous way to mitigate this issue than protection. Only once those methods are exhausted can we protect this article. Chetsford (talk) 20:21, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Directly related to WP:PIA. M.Bitton (talk) 16:29, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Checking to see if protection is necessary. M.Bitton, is there substance behind your revert beyond Per WP:ARBECR? Because I don't like that being the sole reason mentioned. That is, but by itself, it comes across as one of my pet peeves, as seen in the essay Wikipedia:Don't revert due solely to "no consensus" (i.e. non-substantive reasoning)... Otherwise, beyond this one single revert by you today, the page has not seen any meaningful edits, really, in many months. El_C 23:42, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
@El C: the notice at the top of the article (when trying to edit it) says "You must be logged-in to an extended confirmed account" and my understanding of ARBECR is that non-EC editors are limited to making edit requests (related to articles within the topic area). Also, I did leave an appropriate welcome message on their talk page. That being said, I have no problem self-reverting (if you think that the revert was unnecessary in this instance). M.Bitton (talk) 00:01, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
No, I have no opinion or objection to either the addition or its removal (I'm not allowed to). But you are allowed to object on various grounds, like WP:DUE, WP:RS, etc., so I'm just wondering if such reasoning exist in this instance. Otherwise, I'd be inclined to decline (inclined to decline?) as WP:PREEMPTIVE. Yes, I realize the instructions (for WP:ECR ≈ preemptive) is a bit contradictory, and that mileage does vary among admins for that. Regardless of what your answer is, I don't think you did anything wrong. I'm just trying to clarify if there's content grounds behind your revert, because if so, yes-protection; if not, likely not at this time. El_C 00:49, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
@El C: there is no content grounds behind the revert (for what it's worth, I think it's a good edit), I only reverted to enforce the restriction. M.Bitton (talk) 01:42, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
I wish you wouldn't do that (if the edits are good), but I suppose you can. Just kinda sucks. Thank you. Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. El_C 01:54, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Daniel, I don't see that there's enough editing to warrant semi protection. Pending changes will still catch the vandalism as it'll appear as unsourced changes or as questionable BLP edits which should be picked up when being reviewed.

The Bloodline

Reason: Hello, I would like to request Extended confirmed protection for the The Bloodline article. There are too many accounts making too many changes against Wikipedia's policy and guidelines such as No original research, Fancruft as well as straight up vandalism by editors with no regard or little knowledge of how Wikipedia works and due to the popularity of the article there is simply no way to control it and it is slowly descending into chaos. This is why I request this and I hope this issue can be fixed. Lemonademan22 (talk) 14:07, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Maybe you can show us some diffs where autoconfirmed editors have been doing these things? Because from the last month's history it looks like the current protection is working. Daniel Case (talk) 00:10, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for the reply. At the start of the month and towards the end autoconfirmed editors (usually with no user page) have been adding unsourced material, changing paragraph subheadings, adding bare references and messing the article up. Today I had to change about a dozen things back to normal. The current protection, in my opinion, doesn't work and isn't sufficient if I have to go ahead and revert everything they do constantly. Lemonademan22 (talk) 00:18, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
Daniel Case is asking for links to specific edit diffs. If the issue for a particular diff may not be not obvious to someone unfamiliar with the topic, please note the issue. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:49, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peanut (squirrel)

Reason: A post has appeared on Twitter that can, in my eyes, be seen as a clear sign of off-wiki canvassing towards a keep vote in this AfD.

Reason: There is a consistent pattern of POV pushing and a biased agenda from this IP. IP user claims that Crimean Tatars are descended from Anglo-Saxon settlers during the Byzantine era. He is using a non-reliable news source about Anglo-Saxon settlers, but the source does not mention any connection between Crimean Tatars and Anglo-Saxons. In fact, last citation does not even contain word "Crimean Tatar" It'd be great if an advanced editor or administrator can shorten the Tatarization section of the article.

He also doing a similar thing to Crimean Goths. I attempted to discuss this issue with the editor on the talk page of Crimean Tatars 9 months ago, but they have continued to engage in edit warring in different time periods. Some of their IP addresses were blocked earlier this year. This is straight vandalism at this point. I request a page protection for few months. Auzandil (talk) 11:06, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

This is urgent. 174.30.12.241 is clearly watching the page and putting false information as propaganda attempting to influence the vote that’s happening tomorrow. The text of the amendment is in the article and you can clearly see that what they’ve repeatedly put in the heading (that many users other than myself have had to remove multiple times) is a lie.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I count about 10 edits in the last week. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 06:04, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
That same editor (as it is clearly the same person) has reinstated that same lie within a day of it being removed by three separate editors on three separate occasions. They reinstated it after I removed it *less than half an hour later*, and they will certainly put it up again as soon as they wake up today. And we are talking about misinformation with the potential for extreme consequences here. *Please* get some experienced editors to watch the page in anticipation of that so they can quickly revert it, at least. 2600:100A:B1E5:AEBB:24EE:D181:45CF:41D3 (talk) 07:12, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
Also, you’ll see variations of the same thing being done many, many more times on that article in the short time it’s existed if you look back just a little further.

Callanecc, yes, they have been warned (although I'm not sure of the use, given they are hopping round IPs). They ignored it and the requests to use the talk page and continued to edit war. How else are we to deal with IP-hopping editor who edit wars and ignores any form of discussion? They haven't vandalised the article, so AIV is entirely the wrong venue, and the peanut gallery at ANI is just a waste of time.

Red panda

Under subtitle: Distrubution and habitat. ADD When it comes to their natural habitat, red pandas have a smaller home range of 3.4 km^2, while the giant pandas have a home range of 6.3 km^2. That's about a 30% difference in their ranges. Both species cover 481 meters of daily distances and frequently visit the same bamboo patches, but their activity patterns are different.

The Bloodline (professional wrestling)

Reason: Hello, I would like to request Extended confirmed protection for the The Bloodline article. There are too many accounts making too many changes against Wikipedia's policy and guidelines such as No original research, Fancruft as well as straight up vandalism by editors with no regard or little knowledge of how Wikipedia works and due to the popularity of the article there is simply no way to control it and it is slowly descending into chaos. This is why I request this and I hope this issue can be fixed. Here a few diffs that were previously asked for that can show my point further [4] [5] (Most of this had to be reverted by another editor) [6] These are just a couple of examples but these editors edit the page against the template set out and provide unecessary details and unverified claims and it needs to be put right otherwise it's just going to continue, and just for referencing purposes [7] this is how it should be set out and this was before most of the disruptive editing occured. If you need any more diffs to prove what I'm saying is true or if there is any need for further proof, please let me know in the reply. Lemonademan22 (talk) 21:52, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@Nyttend has now move protected the page and added ECP, see his comments at the related AN thread I started to discuss the wider issue of protection for major political candidates - they noted that they haven't previously enacted an ECP, so not sure if it was CTOP logged if you want to help @Daniel Case. Raladic (talk) 04:11, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
I don't even know what CTOP is, let alone what to do with it, so I'd welcome any assistance. If it's only for AMPOL-related arbitration enforcement, it shouldn't be logged; in my protection summary I said May fall under WP:AMPOL too, but this isn't arbitration enforcement; it may be removed by any other administrator.

Peanut (squirrel)

Temporary semi-protection: Very hot-topic article about a squirrel which somehow has become an American political issue. Lots of back and forth edits going on and being reverted, fighting over whether the squirrel was "euthanised" or "murdered", people adding links to the squirrel's owner's onlyfans (which I think must be a new sentence).

As such I think semi-protection till at least a week after the election wojld be best. CoconutOctopus talk 19:13, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. The two editors most visibly arguing about whether euthanasia is a motive or a method are both extended-confirmed; it would take full protection to stop them and, of course, that would stop everyone else and I am loathe to do that with an article about a current contentious news story. But maybe ANEW would see this differently. Daniel Case (talk) 03:07, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Aviation/LAX station

Reason: Both edit and move protection due to recent disruptive page moving, as well as IP edit-warring from multiple addresses regarding the name of the station. The name of the station is indeed planned to be changed from "Aviation/LAX station" to "Aviation/Imperial station", but this is contingent upon the opening of LAX/Metro Transit Center station a few miles away. There has been some confusion with the station's name as of late, especially with automated train announcements and Metro staff announcing "Aviation/Imperial station" as the name. Thereby, any changes to the name of the station prior to the opening of LAX/Metro Transit Center station, according to the latest source provided, will be sometime next year, are all premature.

2024 United States presidential election

Temporary full protection: High level of disruption due to edits made outside of consensus. An RfC was held months ago to determine how we should handle the election. It was determined that [t]here is clear consensus to only include a state's projected electoral votes in the infobox once all major media networks unanimously make a projection. Despite both notices on the talk page and article when editing about this consensus, edits are being made when even a single source calls a state, leading to Wikipedia to current be ahead of a number of major sources. Requesting temporary full protection as a result. Super Goku V (talk) 02:03, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Super Goku V, can you please clarify if this matter is resolved or not? It is nearly impossible to tell from the history. Perhaps doing something simple like creating a table on the talk page with the names of the specific media organizations as well as each state, and posting a link to each organization's call for that state, may help everyone to resolve this situation. I really hesitate to fully protect a page that is reasonably expected to change minute-by-minute. Risker (talk) 02:14, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
The matter is not resolved. We are reporting Harris at 99 EVs while ABC reports 30, CBS reports 30, CNN reports 30, and NBC report 34. I will say that your idea for a table might work better than the discussion so far. --Super Goku V (talk) 02:23, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

I wonder if you've gone to the wrong place. Do you simply want to create a sandbox for yourself?

@Nyttend: I think they've gone to the right place – edit requests are the way to ask that the title blacklist be overriden, and in this case Module talk:Sandbox/பொதுஉதவி/doc matches the same blacklist entry, so the edit request must go here. jlwoodwa (talk) 22:23, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. The IPs' edits seem on par with the autoconfirmed editors' (some bits of content are being edit-warred, with some accounts add the same things the IPs add, and as filer notes the autoconfirmed editors are making high levels of disputed changes as well).

There are a lot of drafts created by McSyl that keep being resubmitted by IP socks. I get one every 5 or so random drafts. They're just wasting reviewer time. I could take them to MFD, but I think semi-protection until their timers expire would be easier. C F A 💬 16:12, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @CFA: Given the clear sockpuppetry, I think protecting for several months is reasonable, but the article needs to be deleted via MFD rather trying to delete it through some sort of backdoor method. @Lectonar: Please let me know if you have any concerns.

Talk:Mohammed Deif

Unprotect: The talk page was recently semi-protected due to unregistered users using the talk page as WP:FORUM on Mohammed Deif's death. At the time, his death was in dispute. Now that his death is no longer in dispute, and the article shows him as dead, I don't think the talk page needs to be semi-protected any more. The Mountain of Eden (talk) 05:23, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: Any thougths on that request? Lectonar (talk) 12:10, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
Update: the death is still in dispute. Hamas has disputed the report that it has acknowledged the death. For now, it seems that the consensus is to have the article show that he is dead, and note the dispute. Since the WP:FORUM comments were from the side that wanted to have the article show Deif as dead, I don't expect this activity to resume. I also don't expect it to now come from the other side.
Please note that semi-protecting the talk page means that non-confirmed editors cannot make edit requests. This means that protection on talk pages should be applied only under the most extreme circumstances. The Mountain of Eden (talk) 17:00, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Of course we were going to see lots of traffic; this is the talk page of the president elect. I'm seeing many IP contributions today which seem to be good faith edits. Any even temporary protection of this discussion page will have the effect of appearing to shut out good faith disagreement.

Christian Manon

Semi-protection: Request WP:SILVER due to the repeated addition of unsourced BLP content by IP accounts. This originally was originally created by the subject of the article (Cmanon), and they've continued to add unsupported BLP content to it over the years. They were advised several times not to do this, but continued and were eventually blocked. They've also seem to have been using IP accounts over the years to do the same thing. The IPs have been advised not to do this, but they too have persisted. The article subject is of questionable Wikipedia notability, but attempts are being made at WP:BEFORE. I'm requesting this article be protected to at least stop the IPs from continuing to re-add unsupported content while the attempts made to find better sources continues. PP seems to be more reasonable alternative to blocking the IP. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:49, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Unknown users (three different IP addresses) continually remove citations in the lede. There is no explanation in the edits and they have not responded on the talk page. Irregulargalaxies (talk) 03:12, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. @Irregulargalaxies: The article talk page discussion is good, but I think we need a bit more effort to communicate with the other editor on their user talk page and in edit summaries before resorting to protection. (It might make sense to move the citation and Grammy details into a career section at some point and go with a shorter version without a citation in the lead, but I'll leave that to you.) Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:02, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for reviewing this. I agree that the article can be restructured better (still including the citation), but wanted the current addition to be stable before investing any effort into cleaning up the rest of the article. I added requests for explanations to each of the user talk pages, although all of them are non-logged in users and have only this single edit in their histories. If there is no response there and if it occurs more than a few times, I'll likely ask again for page protection. Irregulargalaxies (talk) 17:25, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Declined Discussion between the warring editors has started on the talk page and they are laying off the article for now, it seems. Like other admins here I am loathe to full-protect any page already under a long-term protection (although I have done it) since MediaWiki currently does not allow us to layer protection levels (other than PC) over different durations, so when a full protection expires this article (which as a CASTE article that has already been under indef ECP following past disruption) would be left unprotected. Yes, I do have W-Ping so I would be reminded, but that depends on me being in a position to get back and reprotect the article promptly. Daniel Case (talk) 19:29, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Despite reverting these changes and issuing warnings to the involved editors, the behavior has continued, often from anonymous IP addresses or newly created accounts. This persistent activity negatively impacts the reliability of the article and misleads readers.

Additionally, the topic of the page has garnered significant public attention recently, making it a target for repeated edits driven by media narratives, personal biases, or coordinated efforts to skew public perception. Given the high traffic to this page and the recurring nature of these disruptions, semi-protection or full protection is necessary to ensure only constructive, verified contributions are made.

Protecting this page will:

Prevent further disruption and maintain the accuracy of the content. Allow editors to focus on improving the article rather than reverting repeated vandalism. Uphold Wikipedia’s standards for neutrality and reliability. Given these challenges, I request that the page be protected for a specified period to mitigate ongoing issues and provide a stable version for readers. Sohailnm (talk) 17:16, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Also, I would note that you have very few edits in total for an account created two years before you even began editing, and most of these have been to this article, which is tagged as having UPE issues. AGF notwithstanding, I cannot clear my mind of suspicions that that tag might be prompted by concerns about your editing (I will, however, put a CTOPS notice on the talk page).

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. EndzoneEnthusiast 00:08, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Not done. @EndzoneEnthusiast: There is a lot that is far than ideal here. Edits are being reverted without any explanation. And if there are disruptive edits, then there should be some meaningful user talk page warnings explaining our guidelines and standards, and I don't see any recent warnings. Finally, the recent history is almost entirely bereft of meaningful edit summaries. Please start using edit summaries and leaving warnings when necessary. If the disruption continues in a significant way, we can reconsider page protection at a later time. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 00:28, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Israel–Hamas war

Stated Israeli tank losses in casualty and losses infobox are incorrect, attributed article from Business Insider states "The IDF again had problems with anti-tank missiles during the 2006 war in Lebanon, when Hezbollah employed Russian-made Kornets. Though about 50 Merkavas were damaged, only five were destroyed, according to the IDF, which also struggled with poorly maintained vehicles and ill-trained crews." Casualties and losses box states this number as if it was from current conflict. Article does, however, state that "Israel has lost nearly two dozen tanks during fighting with Hamas since October 7." I believe losses of tanks in the infobox should be fixed to reflect this. 155.225.2.98 (talk) 14:17, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Not done tank casualties do not appear in the infobox unless I've completely missed something. Dr vulpes (Talk) 01:29, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Ismail al-Faruqi

Reason: I am requesting semi-protection for Ismail al-Faruqi and a set of pages related to him due to chronic sockpuppetry. These pages are a daily or weekly target of newly created socks of Ibn Juferi, and semi-protection will slow down the sockmaster's ability to change these pages. In addition to Ismail al-Faruqi and for the same reason, I am requesting semi-protection for:

Thank you! Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:21, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I looked at all the articles' histories. Chronic sockpuppetry alone, if it's infrequent and the editors can deal with it, is not enough IMO to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 03:00, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
@Daniel Case To take one example, of the last ~800 edits on Ismail al-Faruqi, going back to June when the socking started on this topic, all but about 20 are sockpuppet/sockmaster/IP LOUTSOCK edits (including Ibn Juferi, DashnorKemalit, Abu Muawiyah, The Muslim Apologist, GoldenRipple, DrunkenJoe, and SmirkTales). That averages out to roughly five sock edits every single day, which seems pretty frequent to me. The request is only for semi-protection. Thanks -- Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:35, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Maybe you'd be better with pending changes then? I am not sure this is enough to justify preventing all non-autoconfirmed editors from editing the articles? Daniel Case (talk) 03:39, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
If you think pending changes is better suited for this situation then I would be ok with that as an alternative. Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:52, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
I believe the Ismail al-Faruqi, Murder of the Faruqis, Islam and the Problem of Israel, and Trialogue of the Abrahamic Faiths fall under WP:CT/A-I. Beyond that, I don't think pending changes makes sense because of the high proportion of sockpuppet edits and I'm not sure pending changes reviewers will be able to reliably reject a lot of these edits. I think semi-protection or ECP makes more sense. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:22, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback. I agree that semi-protection is best (or ECP if warranted under contentious topics), but pending changes would provide some friction to the sock master. Any kind of protection would be helpful here (a newly created account has just restored the sock contributions to all of the articles under discussion).

Prague Film School

Reason: We are requesting protection for the Prague Film School Wikipedia page due to persistent and targeted vandalism. A specific entity, potentially associated with a competitor, has repeatedly deleted valid content and inserted false information promoting a rival institution. Following a formal request to cease these actions, further disruptions were carried out by a known disruptive editor, Viewmont Viking, suspected to be engaged for this purpose. We kindly request a block on further unverified edits, as previous warnings have been ineffective, and it appears likely the aggressor will continue using alternate accounts. Mrevcz (talk) 13:29, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

@Mrevcz Who is the "we" that you are referring to? Are you posting on behalf of the Prague Film School? --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 14:04, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your question, @Ahecht. I represent a group of alumni from Prague Film School; I attended myself in the mid-2000s, and several of us are concerned about preserving the page's accuracy. We did not create the Wikipedia page, and any contributions from anyone aiming to improve it is supported. However, we have observed ongoing, targeted edits that remove verified information and insert misleading claims. Given this pattern, we’re simply requesting protection to prevent further misinformation and preserve the page’s integrity for those interested in the school’s history. Mrevcz (talk) 14:23, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
If it's just a content dispute with one editor then page protection isn't the correct course of action and won't solve your problem. RachelTensions (talk) 14:33, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
This is not a simple content dispute, but vandalism, as the attacker has been illegitimately taking down legitimate content backed by sources and replacing it with false information promoting a rival institution. Mrevcz (talk) 15:01, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
Whatever it is, protecting the page won't solve your problem.
I'd also recommend you read the guideline at WP:COI and disengage from editing the article directly as editing articles in which you have a COI is strongly discouraged. RachelTensions (talk) 15:28, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Wimal Sockanathan

Reason: I hereby guarantee to take the responsibility of rewriting the content without deviating from the neutral point of view and Wikipedia policy guidelines. I can guarantee that the subject in consideration passes WP:GNG. I have created a draft article Draft:Wimal Sockanathan for you all to take a closer look at it. In the past, the article had been repeatedly recreated maybe due to unambiguous advertising purposes. I have published a draft article where I have not exaggerated the subject matter and I have precisely written the content with the use of reliable sources.

Morning LK is one of the prime references that I have used throughout the process when I structured the article content. Please seek your approval to move this draft to mainspace. I have written a plethora of articles of around 2000+ in my seven year stint with Wikipedia platform and hence I hope I can continue to deliver the goods and fulfill the weight of expectations as a standout editor. Abishe (talk) 05:09, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Hurricane Helene

Reason: Looking through the history indicates the main edit wars are IP vs EC editors, not EC vs EC. Can this article please be downgraded from full administrative protection to EC protection? I believe protection skipped EC protection and was set straight to administration protection, despite it being edit wars from IP vs EC editors. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 15:52, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

I don't like to essentially grant AC or EC editors the edit war through protection if there seem to be legitimate differences that require true consensus to resolve. It was (and is) hard to tell since the talk page has been sort of underutilized for this purpose and what discussion has taken place there seems to have centered around other users' misconduct, bad faith or allegations of same.
There is no requirement that protection go through levels before being imposed. Often it is, yes, but if I think full protection for a very limited time (which I think the requesting editor may have asked for in this case) would work better, I'm going to do it. Daniel Case (talk) 20:07, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
There was two disagreements ongoing. One on if the damage total was unofficial/5th costliest. This has a consensus on the talk page, which bluntly was IP additions with EC removals. The item was actually admin edit request done (the way the EC editors were doing it) following this full protection. The other item of discussion was adding conspiracy theories or not. That discussion involved 2 EC editors, plus 2 IP editors. So, respectfully, full protection was unwarranted in my opinion. EC protection along with maybe a TP message and/or edit-warring notice to the 2 EC editors would have been sufficient. Basically, I am saying you jumped the gun on the full protection, which is why I am requesting it be dropped down to EC (since every EC editor involved is on the TP). The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 23:59, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
EC former Helene editor here, so a bit biased but I feel like it should be open to EC per above. In addition, if needed, I would tell them Conspiracy theories about the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season exists and that only the most notable conspiracy theories by notable figures(1-3 of them IMO) should be added to this article. Wildfireupdateman (talk) 03:33, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

15.ai

Reason: High level of edit warring on semi-protected article. In addition, there seems to be a high level of COI edits from users who previously engaged in a pattern of disruptive edits. Despite previous discussions about notability, the same issues continue to resurface, creating an unproductive cycle of content removal and restoration. The editors' actions appear to be WP:BATTLEGROUND behavior rather than constructive editing. (see Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/15.ai/1).

I plan to clean up the article after it has been protected, as per WP:BOLD. HackerKnownAs (talk) 23:27, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Question: So you want extended-confirmed protection? Daniel Case (talk) 04:28, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Yes, that would be good, especially if the protection can be added indefinitely (since this article has been extended-confirmed protected multiple times and it still sees a large amount of vandalism and edit warring to this day). Out of curiosity, is it also possible to add a protection against specific users that have been participating in WP:BATTLEGROUND behavior rather than constructive editing?

Specifically, I've noticed a disproportionately large amount of nonconstructive edits (some blatantly violating WP:YESPOV and accusing editors of violating WP:COI with no evidence) from User:BrocadeRiverPoems, a relatively new Wikipedia editor who seems to be more concerned with arguing the legitimacy of previous editors than constructively editing the article (see: the lengthy discussion at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/15.ai/1). I suggest a partial block over the participants of this edit war on this article, but an extended-confirmed protection should do the trick as well. HackerKnownAs (talk) 17:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
I don't like issuing partial blocks without any warning, though, especially to a user who seems in general to be contributing constructively. If we're going to discuss that, perhaps AN/I is a better forum than this. Daniel Case (talk) 22:23, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
That is a rather curious characterization of my activity. I pointed out numerous flaws with the article, and corrected many of them. I noted extensive WP:SPA activity from yourself and others centered on 15.ai, including several accounts that appeared at the AfD for the purpose of voting to keep the page and nothing else while also noting the unusual circumstances in which the article was elevated to "Good" status. As for "evidence" of COI editing, as I pointed out in my post on the talkpage, there are clear edits that can be linked to the so-called Pony Preservation Project which engaged in considerable off-site coordination to edit the article and which is itself linked to 15.ai and listed as "invaluable" on an archived version of 15.ai. Brocade River Poems (She/They) 00:19, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
Yes, because edits like [52] that blatantly violate WP:YESPOV are totally constructive, yes? And again, I am not involved with the PPP, and you have neither pointed out who you suspect are involved in COI nor have you given any evidence of said editing. You say there are "clear edits" and yet you have not given examples of any of them - you are making baseless accusations and grasping at straws, and are actively discouraging Wikipedeans who only want to help.
To accuse me of others of COI and SPA activity (which, by the way, is blatantly untrue, if you'd seen my history of helping out with articles relevant to 4chan) because of your extremely strange obsession over the article along with this kind of dishonest conduct and projection is appalling. HackerKnownAs (talk) 04:28, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
If this article is granted extended-confirmed protection, I am requesting extended confirmed access to help with cleanup. I previously held this right and used it for similar maintenance work on this article when I asked for the article to be extended-confirmed protected a year ago. HackerKnownAs (talk) 17:40, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Should that happen, you are referred to WP:REQPERM. That request is outside the scope of this noticeboard. Daniel Case (talk) 22:25, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Not such a popular page to require indefinite semi-protection. 62.74.24.175 (talk) 22:17, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Perhaps; it has nevertheless been the subject of regular edit warring for well over the past year, and is within a contentious topic area (WP:CT/EE) to boot. If it's popular with edit warriors, we protect it when asked, as I did. Daniel Case (talk) 04:48, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
@Daniel Case Most edit warring happened by registered users though; Anyways, I suggest an unprotection and it can be protected anytime if edit warring occurs anew. 62.74.24.154 (talk) 09:49, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
It always takes at least 2 to edit war, and it doesn't matter if they're IPs or registered users. I think protection works as intended. If you see a dire need to edit, use edit requests. I would not unprotect. Lectonar (talk) 10:20, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

John Rustad

Reason: I’m reaching out to request a review of the current protection status on the Wikipedia page for John Rustad, the current Leader of the Opposition in British Columbia. Given that Rustad’s notability is mostly regional and that the 2024 B.C. Provincial Election is now over, I believe reducing the protection level to "semi-protection" or completely would be appropriate.

While he was indeed a controversial candidate during the recent election, it seems disproportionate to maintain "extended lock" status, especially compared to other high-profile Canadian politicians such as federal leaders Justin Trudeau, Pierre Poilievre, and Jagmeet Singh, who only have "semi-protection" or, in some cases, no protection at all. Notably, B.C. Premier David Eby’s page also lacks any protection lock despite his prominent role.

Allowing "semi-protected" access would enable more editors with relevant knowledge of B.C. politics to improve the page. If any vandalism were to occur after this reduction, it could certainly be grounds to re-evaluate and re-implement "extended lock" protection.

Thank you for considering this request. TimeToFixThis (talk) 07:55, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Love and Freindship

Reason: This page is plagued by well-meaning people who "correct" the spelling of the title, thinking it a typo.

It is incredibly well documented that this book is called "Love and Freindship" [sic], and this misspelling has carried down to the current day, with modern editions preserving it. But many editors assume that Jane Austen would not have spelled a simple word wrong, and go through the article replacing "Freindship" with "Friendship" where it appears. This, despite being correct from the point of view of good spelling, is incorrect from the point of view of factually describing Ms Austen's novel. You can see mentions of "i before e except after c" on the talk page!

Since this keeps happening, please could the page be protected, or some notice added to prevent these well-meaning but incorrect edits? 86.144.214.36 (talk) 20:28, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

You are required to notify the protecting admin before requesting here, per the rules above. They have not been, so courtesy ping to @Ymblanter. That said, by the looks of the edit history, the full protection is set to expire in two days if I'm reading it correctly. Just wait it out, there's no rush. If you are requesting a complete unprotection however, then I'd strongly oppose such a request given their popularity and the edit protection history and due to the dismal success record of edit requests made since October 21st.

This has been happening (people confusing our talk pages with a place they can communicate with the subject of the accompanying article) for a long time, and not just with AI. I think we have Talk:Taylor Swift on indef semi because so many people thought it was a direct line to her, and every now and then you see actual crimes or tips reported on Talk:FBI.

Note: I don't see where you have created the article on fr.wikipedia; I do, however, see a warning for promotional editing on your talk page on that project. That makes me hesitant to consider unprotecting a page that has a history of promotional editing. In addition, you didn't create Peli Products on es.wiki, the account Ladriana188 did. Given that Ladriana188 also created Draft:Carethy, which you are editing cross-project space, it appears obvious to me that you're connected to this account and that there is promotion via multiple accounts cross-wiki here.

Ronald Fisher

Temporary semi-protection: IP is disruptive editing. I have told an IP over the past couple of days about adding "eugenicist" to the first paragraph of Fisher's lede, as many people on Wikipedia who were eugenicists do not have it listed among their actual occupations. Furthermore, Fisher's lede already has a bottom paragraph explaining the eugenicist views, and adding "eugenicist" amongst his occupations of statistician and geneticist adds nothing when it's already more covered in detail at the bottom of the lede. I then proceeded to open a talk page, which is now over a day old, after a day, I changed it back as there was no agreement for inclusion, and IP again added the term without even talking on the talk page. Reaper1945 (talk) 00:55, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

In the last 72 hours, different IP and non-autoconfirmed editors have made four instances of disruptive edits to this lightly trafficked article: added that subject is an adult film star without citation [84], again added that subject is an adult film star without citation [85], added a sexual epithet to article [86], added information about subject's alleged sexuality without citation [87].

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent sockpuppetry; obvious sock from the sockfarm of User:SWAPAN.CHAKROBARTY011112; caste promotion account; WP:GS/CASTE. Ekdalian (talk) 06:06, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. As I intimated elsewhere (permalink), I'm getting the sense that CASTE pages are over-protected just as a matter of course, even though the sanctions regime doesn't mention ECP. What users make that protection level warranted, Ekdalian? I'm willing to upgrade if I missed it. El_C 12:55, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
Thanks El_C for protecting the page. Generally, caste warriors are desperate to promote their caste, and can go to any extent like sockpuppetry! Becoming autoconfirmed is obviously easy for them. That's the reason for imposing ECP. Cheers. Ekdalian (talk) 18:38, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Circulatory system

After the sentence "In humans, blood is pumped from the strong left ventricle of the heart through arteries to peripheral tissues and returns to the right atrium of the heart through veins." I would like to request for the addition of "Blood then returns to the right atrium through the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, and coronary vein."

I believe talking about blood moving directly from the veins to the right ventricle is misleading to readers; adding in this sentence better encompasses the passage of blood through the entire circulatory system. Connellk2003 (talk) 21:03, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Misandry

Edit: There has been many people that have noticed, as well as myself, that the page wiki Misandry unfairly emphasizes that the term "misandry" is closely associated to the controversial and stigmatized communities of Men's rights activists and the "manoshere". This, I believe, does harm to men/young men who have actually suffered from prejudice, stereotypes, harassment etc. due to the complex issues that men suffer from. Regardless of if men's complex issues are/were a product of a patriarchal society, men still do face particularly prejudice and stereotyping from women, female family members, society and gynocentric entities. Its it possible to possibly have the subject of Men's rights activists brought up in its own subcategory and not at the forefront of the introduction? This undermines experiences and nuanced issues that men face in an ever-complex society, and at a time of a lot of gender polarity, this is unfair and also seemingly disingenuous. 173.196.232.226 (talk) 21:22, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Reason: The Egyptian regime seeks to tarnish Bahgat Saber's image in order to undermine his political and social influence, particularly due to his continued opposition to government policies and his strong criticism of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Bahgat Saber is a prominent figure who uses social media platforms to express his dissent against the regime, making him a target of efforts to discredit him by government agencies. This campaign aims to reduce his credibility among both supporters and critics, portraying him as an extremist or a threat to national security, in order to diminish his impact on public opinion and dishearten his followers.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – There is a very dedicated vandal who, for some reason, loves adding a fake date of birth to this article. See the accounts Magicalboat316, SpencerTarrence7981, GloriaCarterSpann1926, and Arglefumph1998. (There have also been many IPs.) This article was previously protected for one year in November 2023. As soon as it expired a few days ago, the vandal returned immediately. Given that this vandal is coming up on three years of this stuff, I don't see any reason to think they'll knock it off.

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – constant targeting by IPs located in Serbia, as it can be seen by geolocating their IPs.

Page should include demographic data from The Associated Press and perhaps even averaging with their other demographic data.

Temporary full-protection: I'm personally not involved in the content dispute of this article but I noticed that there has been a long-term edit war about the number of episodes.

Kamala Harris

Please remove the sentence stating that she speaks Tamil. It's true that she was exposed to some of the Tamil language as a child, and she has occasionally used a couple of Tamil words in her public speeches, but she does NOT actually speak the language, neither fluently nor even conversationally. She is not bilingual so stop pretending that she is. 192.42.55.22 (talk) 16:03, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

 Not done There's a RS that says she speaks Tamil to at least some degree. Chetsford (talk) 05:15, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
Chetsford, would you object if I removed the sentence? I took a look and, by my reading, the cited source (archive) does not verify the statement that Harris speaks Tamil (just that Tel K Ganesan said that [they] very briefly spoke in Tamil together); and the only source cited for the statement is one for which additional considerations apply.

Israel–Hamas war

The infobox with the description "Israeli and Palestinian deaths preceding the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, of which most were civilians" cites this link to the UN OCHAoPt. This no longer links to any publicly available information. Luckily, there is an archive link as well.Nevermind! Issue at my side. Still, the rest of the request should make sense. There is an archive link. This archive is not sufficient, however, since the embedded figure is non-interactive, which makes it impossible to confirm the information that the citation is supposed to demonstrate (civilian death ratio).

This archive link should be replaced with one from the Internet Archive. As an example, this would be appropriate. The archive loads painfully slowly (might take literal hours, I didn't care to wait), but it does technically load (I'm pretty sure), and I expect that the embedded figure should work.

As an aside, the embedded figure is still available, since it was hosted on a different site and not taken down. This, unfortunately, is not appropriate for inclusion in the article, since app.powerbi.com isn't exactly a reliable source. But it is great if you don't want to wait for the IA archive to load.This is pointless information since the original site is still available. Dieknon (talk) 21:13, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Rukmini

Reason: I am requesting page protection for the disputed section on Rukmini's age during marriage. A translation of the Skanda Purana claims she was 8 years old at the time of her marriage to Krishna, but this is contradicted by multiple other sources, including the Bhagavata Purana, Harivamsa and Brahmavaivarta Purana, which describe her as a woman who had attained puberty. This discrepancy has led to repeated edit wars, with conflicting revisions disrupting neutrality and confusing readers. To preserve the article’s integrity, I request semi-protection or extended-confirmed protection for the section, enabling experienced editors to collaboratively address the issue and reach a consensus on the talk page in line with Wikipedia’s principles of verifiability and neutrality. Tantrasurge (talk) 22:27, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

The dispute is due to your edit warring as the sources just say she has reached puberty which means she was between the ages of 8 and 12 while skanda purana says she was 8 your edits change it to 16 which not even the bhagavata Purana, harivamsa and brahmavaivarta Purana state only that she started puberty which begins at 8 Plakosa (talk) 00:07, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Isiro

Reason: Disruptive editing: A user named "Avillasjohn29" whose user page has been deleted for misuse of WP as a web host was adding information about social media personalities and what I assume is self promotion into the article. For example, he wrote "AVILLAS JOHN (CEO & BLOGGER OF ISIRO CULTURES 2023-NOW" (Edit from Nov. 13) or "IN 2023 Isiro' population knew their first social media Isiro Cultures that has more than 90k in Facebook,..."(Edit from Nov. 4) At first, I thought that these edits were legitimate and even tried to fix the capitalization, since most of it was in caps, until I saw the "that has more than 90k on Facebook" . Then, I tried removing most of this information but the user "Avillasjohn29" just kept adding it back in. To prevent an edit war or more disruptive editing, the page should be semi-or extended-protected. RaschenTechner (talk) 19:45, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
