Unprotection: Not sure why HJ Mitchell protected this in the first place, but I see no reason for this redirect to an unprotected page which had no intermittent issues between being converted to a redirect and protection still needs any protection. Thanks. Since I see by the contribution history that HJ Mitchell (talk · contribs) is very active on responding to these requests, I won't bother annoying them with a duplicate post on their talk page. ;) Thanks. — {{U|Technical 13}} (t • e • c) 17:05, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotected. There were some serious problems a few years ago with redirects to HTTP 404, so I protected them all en masse. This wasn't one of them, so I'll unprotect it, but I'm curious what prompted this request. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:58, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template-editor. 10k transclusions doesn't seem to be worthy of administrator-only settings. Template:Col-begin (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) has 360k transclusions and seems to be doing just fine with template-editor. I think this just hasn't been changed since the new template editor group started up. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 12:58, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request to reduce protection level on Bolsheviks back to semi:

I originally requested this page be protected, but the protection came too late before one of the two problematic editors readded material that had been tagged as unsourced since 2011 and 2012.

Nonetheless, it seems that at least the other of those two editors is willing to have a good faith discussion about the issue on the talk page, so I request that the article protection be changed from full back to semi so that sources can be added, and for my part I will refrain from reverting as this dialogue process plays out.

(I made a version of this request a couple of days ago on the protecting admin's talk page, but he has not been active since then). --El Chivo 2 (talk) 20:47, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – The full protection has only five days still to run. Why not try to reach an agreement on the talk page about the disputed passage. If you get agreement, the protection can be lifted. EdJohnston (talk) 21:06, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: The family and friends of the article subject are trying to manipulate history and are claiming things that cited obituaries in The New York Times, the New York Post and Newsday simply do not say. At least one has registered as an WP:SPA, and over the course of days this seems to have become a campaign for them. No obituary gives a cause of death, and neither does the article. Family and friends have a campaign to blame it on a flu shot, which is fringe science and not stated in any of the highly WP:RS sources mentioned here.

A contributing reason: The family and friends have recruited a blogger who urges his readers, "Let's Correct Wikipedia on Something!" — even though, as Talk:Al Plastino shows, the blogger himself is factually incorrect. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:27, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I need to point our that one of the family/friends editors appears to be suggesting he'll be right back at as soon as the week-long protection expires: "I don't think it's 'moot', since it will be up for editing in a week." [1]. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:35, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined The edits in question involve only one individual IP at a time. It would be much more practical to just block it. Mike V • Talk 20:42, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Mike V: The IP user has been doing it since August, and considering some user summaries' the IP is a banned user. Considering this revert of my previous unexistant revert, the user is just trolling and there should be no reason to let him continue trolling, at least that page. © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 21:07, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
When I approach RFPP, I look at the situation and see what technical options would resolve the issue while producing the least amount of collateral damage as possible. In this case, the individual has been editing a variety of pages multiple times and (to my knowledge) has been restricting his or her editing to just one IP at a time. From my perspective, it would be much better to block an individual IP than semi-protect 10+ pages. If we keep semi-protecting articles, the user will likely just keep jumping around to different articles until he or she gets bored. Mike V • Talk 22:34, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - This template is transcluded on hundreds of thousands of pages, so changes should not be made to it without proper discussion.

Template protected I've template protected the page on the sole basis that it is a highly visible template on 100,000+ pages. If there are requests to adjust the template, then discussion should occur on the talk page. Once a clear consensus has been reached a template editor or administrator can makes these changes.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism.

This, in my view, is clearly too many instances of persistent vandalism in the past couple of months.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Requesting 24 hour protection. Lithuanian IP 78.56.70.222, which a few days ago made an inflammatory POV edit here, came to this article and inserted a bunch of wikilinks in the English translation of this song. They are, in essence, soapboxing through wikilinks by introducing modern events (2014 street riots, for example) into a translation of the Ukranian national anthem. I nominated them at AIV. Now a different IP from North Carolina (184.3.167.160) has reverted my repair of this disruption. Requesting 24-48 hour protection from IPs. Though I wouldn't normally request protection for 2 instances of disruption, the recent political situation in the Ukraine qualifies this article as high profile.

This isn't the venue to solve content disputes. I'd suggest going to the talk page of the respective article if you believe that the IP's are right.

It's not a huge amount but it's regular. It's mostly people changing quotes and the way names are written, because there's more than one translation. Sometimes it's vandalism, such as today [18] and yesterday [19] (apparently the same person, and he's threatening to continue).

The last time I requested semi-protection, in January 2011, Casliber protected it indefinitely, but had an edit conflict with KrakatoaKatie, so it became a six-month protection instead. If anyone would consider restoring the indefinite, or adding a long-term protection, that would be very helpful. SlimVirgin (talk) 19:23, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's why the request was for temporary protection. What a stupid decision. If you're so keen on leaving it unprotected, why don't YOU monitor the article yourself and undo all the vandalism instead of expecting everyone else to? Richard75 (talk) 16:13, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We have a stream on vandalism all day. Semi-protection is to avoid having to undo such edits every five minutes. Protect it just for today and tomorrow. That should be enough. Anna (talk) 16:24, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Requesting long-term protection from IPs. IP users in particular continue to submit unsourced series end dates.

Template-protection: I am working to clean up the {{error}}s that this template is transcluding. Over 1,500 pages in file namespace are transcluding errors. I've been using AutoWikiBrowser to work through these, but see template talk:Non-free use rationale logo for discussion of the issues that make the rest more difficult. I have a new version in the Template:Non-free use rationale logo/sandbox which I've verified with Template:Non-free use rationale logo/testcases. I have created three new maintenance categories for AWB to latch onto for easier fixing of more specific error types, which I'll leave as red-links for now. Perhaps once cleaned up, consolidating these into a single maintenance cat will make more sense. So this update may be temporary, which is why I'm asking for lowered protection so that I can tweak it as needed, without needing to submit multiple protected edit requests.

Sorry Slakr, I protected it before I saw your comment. It's included on cascade-protected items with a number of templates so isn't likely to be removed.

Unprotected It only has one transclusion so I'm comfortable trying unprotection since the protecting admin hasn't yet responded to the query on their talk page. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:21, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Since I've seen this happen so many times before, I have to ask: why do people semi-protect and PC-protect the same page at the same time? Wouldn't it just make more sense to apply the semi for a fortnight and then apply the PC? Jinkinson talk to me 22:14, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well there's no way to set the PC to start at a certain time, and in a fortnight I will have forgotten all about this. Short-term semi and long-term PC is much more desirable than long-term semi, so it makes sense to enable both at the same time, even if the PC is redundant until the semi expires.

Temporary create protection: This page shares the same name as Belle Knox's purported birth name, and it has the potential for abuse of the BLP rules. Since we have repeatedly tried to prevent this from occurring on both the real and talk page, as well as respecting her wishes not to be known by any other name, leaving this page unprotected for now leaves open the possibility of abuse in the coming weeks. If Know confirms that this is indeed her birth name and is open to having this name associated with her, then we can reconsider salting this page. Tokyogirl79 would also be someone to talk to about this, as she has started an RFC on the talk page that is trending towards keeping her real name off of the site as well.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by IPs linked to Archimedes Trading Ltd. and new SP called BaumeisterSeligman, created specifically to avoid IP tracking. --Farnishk (talk) 02:25, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @Farnishk: Registering an account to avoid "IP tracking" is not only permitted, but encouraged by policy. It's only becomes an issue when the editor continues to use both the account and the IP address to give the appearance of additional support. I've declined this request as the issue appears to be with only one user. Situations such as this are better handled through user talk page discussions. Mike V • Talk 18:20, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @LoyolaGirl: This is a content issue, not vandalism. I would encourage you to initiate discussion on the talk page. In general, continued edit warring without discussion will lead to blocks or full protection of the page. Mike V • Talk 18:10, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Move protection and Semi-protection: User:Wetdogmeat ignored consensus regarding primary topic and WP:TWODABS and proceeded to move the page True Detective to True Detective (disambiguation) to flout the already rejected move request.

Move protected. I've move-protected True Detective and True Detective (TV series). I wasn't sure which changes need to be undone or how semi-protection fits in, so I've just left things with the move protection. SlimVirgin (talk) 19:42, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@SlimVirgin: - Thanks, but...True Detective (disambiguation) needed to be moved back to True Detective (which now redirects, sadly, against previously-established consensus to True Detective (TV series)). Now it just cements into place Wetdogmeat's anti-consensus move and redirect, and wasn't the help that I requested.--ColonelHenry (talk) 19:54, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection (preferably a few months): Continued WP:Disruptive editing, including WP:Sockpuppetry, by Sahyadrisingh (talk · contribs). Sahyadrisingh, via his or her talk page and WP:Edit summaries, has been told to take the matter to the talk page, to stop WP:Edit warring and to stop WP:Sockpuppeting, but Sahyadrisingh remains unresponsive and keeps ignoring the warnings/advice. He or she is now using Dynamic IPs to edit war and evade WP:Scrutiny (which is a form of WP:Sockpuppetry). The only response I have gotten from this editor so far is thanks via WP:Echo for this revert I made concerning one of his or her edits; I don't think it was a mock, but I do think that the editor is either too new to understand how Wikipedia is supposed to work or will never understand how it is supposed to work (WP:Competence issues).

It may be that semi-protecting the Peyton Sawyer article is no longer needed, but I think that we should err on the side of caution and that the article should therefore be semi-protected for at least one or two weeks, which might help encourage talk page discussion when Sahyadrisingh can't use various IPs to revert and edit war. I will refrain from reverting Sahyadrisingh or any more of the IPs in the meantime. Flyer22 (talk) 17:46, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite full protection: This article is subject to major NPOV issues after the people of Crimea voted to leave Ukraine and join Russia. This is unrecognized by any state except Russia. There is already an article at Republic of Crimea about the "unrecognized" Republic so this article should continue to reflect its "recognized" status as part of Ukraine. . JOJ Hutton 17:25, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - This user believes the term "official" insinuates that a region or people need the permission of the US and UE to do anything. This independence is recognized by the people of the land, the ones who live and work on it. Their recognition, when it all comes down to it, is the only recognition that should matter, not outsiders.

What this user is trying to do is ensure that his POV is maintained regardless of what else goes in that section of the world because he feels that wrongful information could sway others into his line of thinking (again, that being POV).

As another nation has stated: the will and self-determination of a people should be respected. Wikipedia should remain neutral, not serve as a political front for any side. Hawaiifive0 (talk) 19:13, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - @Jojhutton: I'm declining to protect this article fully, because this request looks like an attempt to "freeze" the article in place which is against the entire nature of the project. If there was a specific dispute that needed to be resolved on the discussion page of the article I would be willing to protect the page until the dispute was resolved. However, from what I can see there are many disputes on that page as the result of current events, and I'm not comfortable with a full protection implemented indefinitely with no indication as to what circumstances should result in the protection being removed. You'll have to deal with disputes as usual at the page, and while I understand that it's a large undertaking to do so with the attention this issue has received internationally, it's necessary. If there is a specific issue that is causing disruption, then protection may be considered until that issue is resolved.
@Hawaiifive0: Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Please make discussions about content using Wikipedia's standards for neutrality, as information is verified by reliable sources, not determined by the advocacy of a particular cause or to further justice for a nation or people. This project is not the place for that. -- Atama頭 19:50, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - I understand it's frustrating to deal with an editor who isn't responding to your requests to stop, but the edits the IP is making aren't vandalism. You've only communicated with the IP in such a manner as to stay "stop". Since this isn't vandalism, your reverts have put you on the edge of a 3RR violation yourself. The only persistent disruption (if you want to call it that) has been from a single IP, and if any action would be taken at the page, it would be to block that one IP (though, as stated, there is no need for a block unless both of you are blocked for edit-warring). If the IP insists on reinserting this information again (they may have given up at this point) you can let me know, and I'll consider taking some action to try to force them into a discussion. -- Atama頭 19:17, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Requesting 30 day protection from IPs. An IP hopper who utilizes IPs from Mexico continues to manipulate this article negatively (and other articles, such as United Plankton Pictures). It's unclear if it is maliciousness or ignorance due to language differences, but user continues to remove, with no explanation or rationale, a perfectly useful "format=dmy" template parameter here for example. (The format instructions are at Template:Dts. User has continuously ignored explanations in edit summaries, direct comments and warnings to stop. User also continues to format article sections per their whim, rather than per MOS. In the above referenced edit, user contributes an alleged future movie event without a reference, which contravenes WP:CRYSTAL. User has also edited from 189.159.224.77, 189.237.186.87, 189.159.251.234, etc. So it's a persistent bother that has yet to be remedied through discussion. I speculate that a 30 day protection from IPs may dissuade future attempts. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:39, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @Cyphoidbomb: First, if it's an issue with a single IP or IP range, a block would be better than semi protecting an article. It appears that the IP made only one more edit after you left a message explaining why his/her edits have been reverted, and I'd like to assume good faith that your message was seen after he/she made that edit. (Given that he/she has stopped making those edits as of now.) I would also encourage you to leave messages on user talk pages instead of in edit summaries. Some users may view it as a passive aggressive approach to handling things. Also, templates are best used in situations where the issue is straightforward (i.e. blatant vandalism). In this case, the user may not understand why the edits are considered disruptive and a more detailed message would be appropriate. As it stands I think things are fine for now, but if the IP keeps making the revisions without partaking in discussion then a block would be in order. Mike V • Talk 01:46, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mike V, I can dig your expectations of AGF, and can also appreciate your suggestion that a range block might be more effective. I suppose I'll go to ANI for that? I would point out though that I'm describing persistent disruption from an individual who has been making the same sorts of edits since circa December 26, 2014, so I'm not sure it's reasonable to assume good faith if they are persistently disruptive, uncommunicative and resistant to warnings. But your points are noted. Regards. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:01, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, just realized (hours later) that I'd already reported this to ANI. [79] Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:32, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article is very well developed and sourced. We also have several precedents for this kind of articles: Google search. The confusion strives on the article's title. It should be Political status of Crimea and Sevastopol since both territories are disputed but the dispute is based on the same argument (so there's no point in having one article for each). There are a few related articles but they intrinsically and fundamentally cover different subjects. For example:

Precedents for this includes:

..and so on as demonstrated by the Google search linked above.

We contacted the admin, as you can see at, User talk:Dpmuk#Political status of Crimea, but he preferred to bring the discussion to WP:ANI rather than here.

I hereby formally request the article's unprotection through the proper channel (this page) per the arguments presented before.

Actually, can we protect ALL the pages related to the Ukrainian and Crimean crisis? They are all subject to intensive editing, reverting, removing and other disruptive activity by numerous anon IPs (also hordes of newly registered accounts which are most likely sockpuppets of banned or restricted users). It's impossible to constructively edit any of these articles because by the time you spend time making one careful change, two dozen disruptive ridiculous nonsense changes have been made by these accounts in the interim.

Well, this article suffered IP vandalism for some time, but today an IP (83.233.187.98, his edit history - [90]) came in and started adding incorrect data to the article.

As for diffs, I don't know which one to single out, he made many edits as IP and as user... For instance, he listed Ziaur Rahman as first head of state of Bangladesh, instead of Mujibur Rahman.

Temporary semi-protection: In the couple of years I have had this article on my watchlist, the majority of the changes I have seen have been either vandalism or reverts of vandalism. While my irritation may have led me to exaggerate, and it just seems that way to me, still, I have just tallied up the number of edits that were vandalism over the past 100 edits, and they total over 30, to judge by those edits that were reverted as such. Over the past 500 edits, a rough estimate is that a quarter to a third have been the work of vandals, most, though not all of them, anonymous IP users. A search shows that it has been seven years since semi-protection was applied to this page. It is about time for it to be considered again. --Alan W (talk) 04:22, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotection: I'm not actually requesting complete unprotection. Twinkle doesn't seem to have an option to just request cascade protection to be removed. This template has already been lowered to  Template editor protection level but TEs still can't edit because it is transcluded from Steve Martin (not sure why that has the cascading option on) and Wikipedia:Cascade-protected items. I would like to be able to add a .tag-cn class to all instances of this template as an anchor so that people can customize how they see the text as the full wording can be obtrusive to reading. Experienced editors should have a way to modify this tag (I personally would make it bigger, but others may make it smaller). Thanks. — {{U|Technical 13}} (t • e • c) 21:34, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected. The highly visible nature of this template and its widespread use across the project (on over a quarter of a million pages) mean that changes really must be discussed first and a consensus reached. Given how small and uncomplex the template is, this isn't a matter of technical skill trumping everything else, it's a matter of determining (or establishing) consensus and not rushing in headlong with drive-by edits—that's what we elect admins for. For he record, there are a fair number of admins whose judgement I have my reservations about, but when it comes to editing templates, most of the have the sense to leave well enough alone. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:44, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @HJ Mitchell and Technical 13: After we implemented the template editor right the majority of fully-protected templates still couldn't be edited because they needed to be manually lowered. That is, although we had the new permission implemented, it was rather less than useful because the very reason for the implementation was still being frustrated until we went through the slog work of making fully-protected templates editable by those with the new flag. So I started that slog work, mass lowering fully-protected templates, thinking it was only a matter of willingness to spend the time, and not a matter of agreement of whether we should or should not do it. Then some users who noticed my edits said we shouldn't mass lower yet, until we had some agreement on that as well, so I stopped. This is one of the ones I lowered while I was doing a ton. I never noticed it was cascade protected. So, my lowering of it (uselessly, given that it's cascade protected) should not be taken as my endorsement of removing cascading protection. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:43, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for your comment. I'll mention my request in the current discussion that I wanted to make this edit to assist in and see if I can build a consensus before coming back again. Thanks. — {{U|Technical 13}} (t • e • c) 13:50, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am including information that is very relevant, accurate, but inconvenient for certain sports fans to read. However, attempting to "erase" facts and history is completely opposite to the function of Wikipedia and should not be tolerated. I am willing to come to a compromise in the wording of the facts, but am resolute in my intention to present the facts to readers. I think Wikipedia will and should agree that acknowledging history, truth and facts are the founding principle of this website.

Here is the link to the Terrible Towel talk page, for some background on the disputed topic. The "Let's just keep the Ravens Super Bowl run out of the article." claim by the user is particularly questionable:

https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:Terrible_Towel#Terrible_Curse

Furthermore, I wish to present the facts:

Fact a.) The Baltimore Ravens defeated the rival Pittsburgh Steelers on November 18, 2012. Ray Rice, Running Back for the Baltimore Ravens disrespectfully walked off the field with his teammates singing/humming "Renegade" by Styx (de facto rally song of the Steelers), waving a Terrible Towel (longtime symbol of the Steelers) and wearing it on his head.

Here are links to credible sources to back up those facts:

Fact b.) The Baltimore Ravens won Super Bowl XLVII on February 3, 2013.

Here are links to credible sources to back up those facts:

http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Super_Bowl_XLVII http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/47 http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/03/us/sports-super-bowl/index.html

These are the facts, and they are indisputable. I respectfully request to Wikipedia that you review the facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Horde 00 (talk • contribs) 08:19, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: On November 16th, February 1st, and February 28th, User:121.44.113.149 engaged in brief editing sprees at this disambiguation page, each of which were reverted. On February 28th, the page was protected for 30 days, expiring about 2 days ago. This evening, the same IP arrived at the article and removed all but one subject from the list, citing the fact that "subject has been deleted". Thereafter, the IP deleted references to other Andrew Slatterys in other articles around Wikipedia, until they received several warning templates from CVU members patrolling RC. At this point, they made an account, and replied to the warning templates with [116]. The newly-made account then immediately put a CSD template on this disambiguation page, citing the fact that it now contained reference only to one subject. Because the user had deleted the rest of its content.

I've just removed the CSD template, and engaged the user on their talk page. I suspect this is going to be a slow, delicate process, wherein several article edits will need to be reverted, and I'd like to be absolutely sure that it doesn't escalate. Once this page is protected, we can begin restoring the content of other affected articles. Meanwhile, I'll keep talking with this user. --Moralis (talk) 07:33, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
