.NET Framework

Temporary full protection – Revertwarring against site-wide MoS rules (on the basis of a faulty interpretation of a topical rule), continuing after objection on the editor's talk page, and after the position of that editor (Codename Lisa) was proven factually incorrect at WT:MOSCOMP. There are now at least two three discussions open about this in which that editor can make their case, but they just keep reverting on the same faulty basis (against WP:CONLEVEL) and avoiding substantive discussion, instead dwelling on editor rather than edits, at both talk pages. This needs to stop now. 3RR warning has been given.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ<  14:49, 1 November 2017 (UTC); updated: 18:30, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

  • Wow. I thought RPP was for vandals and disruptors. Why is my established colleague treating me like one? As a matter of fact, my esteemed colleague SMcCandlish has been acting like an angry bull today, totally shattering the image of a respectful editor I had made of him. It is like seeing Mother Teresa using a nuclear bomb to kill people. I fear that any further attempt to communicate with him results is failure, heartbreak and God knows what else, but certainly not a collegial consensus.
I give up. I won't revert him anymore. I believe any sane editor would disagree with him. —Codename Lisa (talk) 15:07, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
Just for the record: Actually, it was Codename Lisa who made a bogus vandalism accusation [2] (calling WP:BRD reversion of undiscussed addition of a new rule to a guideline "vandalism", even after already pointed to the talk page discussion opened for the "D" in BRD), and also Codename Lisa who has been generating the drama, including burying a BRD post in personalization about editors instead of discussion of content [3], followed by similar material in user talk [4], including psychological projection [5] and an attempt to evade mandatory notices [6]. No idea what the cause of this drama-mongering and melodrama is, but it's silly, passive-aggressive, and uncollaborative. To what end, I have no idea. Contrary to Codename Lisa's projection, I am "calm" and not at all in "one hell of a bad mood"; I've been citing sources and policy and making simple logical arguments, and am actually in a very good mood, though perplexed by CL's behavior; I don't recall having any issues with this editor before.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ<  18:30, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
Fully protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Protection is for edit wars and content disputes. Blocking is for 3rr violations and disruption. WP:BRD- now time to discuss, please. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 17:42, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Electoral system articles subject to persistent disruption by indefd user Ontario Teacher BFA BEd

Permananent semi-protection: These articles have been subject to persistent political bias by User:Ontario Teacher BFA BEd since August 2015 and, despite an indefinite block ([7]), this shows no sign of abating. Now a patently good-faith and knowledgeable user, Rhys Goldstein (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), is trying to fix these articles, but is getting very little support. For example, Proportional representation has some 180 watchers but attracts next to no supportive edits from experienced users (User:Joel B. Lewis is the praiseworthy exception). The guy needs help, semi-protection is the minimum, though it's hardly sufficient  – check out this sock [8], the twelfth edit is to the above semi-protected template. Pretty easy. --BalCoder (talk) 17:31, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Some IPs are inserting hindi insults too. Was protected for a month and vandalism started again after unprotection. Galobtter (talk) 11:31, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Actually, I'd like ammend that to Permanent pending changes protection. This page constantly gets vandalism edits, and had BLP violations sitting there for months before I removed it (the middle names of various people were replaced with hindi insults or were insulted in some other way; in fact someone noted there in the page with "galiyan baar baar kyu"-->"why constantly insults"). It rarely gets constructive edits. Seems to fit perfectly for pending changes protection. Galobtter (talk) 12:02, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Lil Pump

Can we finally unlock the name for this page? If you recall, I requested this previously but with so many bad faith editors trying to spam this, I was told to submit it to articles for creation. I did so and it was denied (by user Flow234 who is now blocked for using multiple accounts). I have done nothing but good edits on Wikipedia (please check my edit history) and feel like I am being treated like a second class editor because of other people trying to spam. I am not sure how any other user has any more rights to judge the notability of the topic than I do since we are all in the same boat. I think this is evidenced by the now banned user whose opinion was apparently valued more than my contribution history. I have since moved the page to the person’s real name of Gazzy Garcia and invite editors to recommend it for deletion if they feel it is not notable (there are also two other related pages created by another editor, Lil Pump (mixtape) and Gucci Gang). What I would request is that the name Lil Pump be unlocked so that we can move the page to the proper name. By the way, I made another request to the administrator about three weeks ago and they have not edited during that time so I have had no response.--DoubleuWW (talk) 03:59, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

@DoubleuWW:, let us be clear - you want the name unlocked so that you want to circumvent AfC, right? It might be ok, but let us have it clear first.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:07, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
@Ymblanter: I understood it as him wanting to move Gazzy García to Lil Pump (presumably with a redirect?). Samsara 18:03, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
Thanks Samsara. I would then say open a move request, wait for two weeks, and any admin would move the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:05, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
Done This appears to be resolved, page has been moved, and the redirect is protected. kelapstick(bainuu) 23:57, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The article is a BLP on a Nepali politician. An IP editor (from pattern of edits, probably a single person, but with dynamic IP address) has been making numerous edits to the article, many of which are edit tests, for example adding non-existent templates, or experimenting with wiki markup. The page is on my watch list, so every few days I go in to clean it up. Unfortunately the IP editor is persisting in the edit tests, ignoring either messages that I've tried to leave on user talk page (ineffective because of dynamic IP) or in my edit summaries. The edits have also become bolder: silently removing citation needed tags, adding good-article template (it is not a GA), and reverting other maintenance that I've done. I'm requesting temporary semi-protection as other attempts to catch attention of this IP editor have failed. Thank you. Kbseah (talk) 13:53, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Category:Lorde

Unprotection: Per Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects#Category request: Category:Lorde Suggestion. No opposition after 2 months and I feel that this is a reasonable category. feminist 15:02, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Agreed. There's no reason to still have this sysop protected four years after the original CfD. Nihlus 18:31, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
@JamesBWatson: Protecting admin. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 21:37, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
The reason that the category doesn't exist is unanimous consensus at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 September 23#Category:Lorde. My protecting the title was merely a mechanism to enforce that consensus. This is therefore effectively a request to overturn a decision in a deletion discussion. Most of what was said in the discussion applies just as much now as it did sat the time of the discussion, notably the redundancy to Template:Lorde, so I don't see justification for one or two editors to overturn the decision without discussion. A comment at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects#Category request: Category:Lorde Suggestion says "additional articles have been created since this was deleted in CfD", and if it is felt that that changes the situation sufficiently to justify overturning the decision then it seems to me it would fall under the heading of "significant new information has come to light since a deletion that would justify recreating the deleted page", which is one of the criteria for listing a case at Wikipedia:Deletion review.
(At Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects#Category request: Category:Lorde Suggestion Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars said "admin who locked has not answered". I have now found an archived talk page message about this, which I somehow failed to address. Probably I was busy at the time and then forgot to come back to it, for which I apologise. Feminist did not inform me of her request here for my protection to be overturned. Perhaps she failed to notice the fairly prominent box at the top of this page containing instructions, in which instruction number 1 says "If you are requesting unprotection, the correct protocol is to ask the protecting administrator first for unprotection".) The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:23, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
@JamesBWatson: I did not ask you on your talk page first because Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars said admin who locked has not answered, which means you have already been asked (i.e. protocol has been followed) but did not respond. Now, are you going to unprotect the category? feminist 13:15, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
I wrote the note about you not informing me before I discovered the archived message from Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars which I mentioned above, and perhaps I should have removed the note concerning you when I discovered it, as in view of that it was not unreasonable for you to to take the view that making an exception to the instructions on this page was justifiable. As for the unprotection, if you have any reason to disagree with what I said above then I will be willing to consider it. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:24, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
@JamesBWatson: This seems to be a needlessly trivial line to draw in the sand. That discussion was four years ago and made sense then; however, I strongly disagree that much of what was discussed then applies now. Additionally, please see Category:Wikipedia categories named after musicians by nationality and it's subcategories. I'll also point out that one of the voters in that CfD was the editor requesting its creation. I see no reason to drag this on further. Nihlus 19:23, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
I have absolutely no personal opinion one way or the other whether this category should exist. However, what I am being asked to do is to take action to enable editors to reverse a decision at a deletion discussion. I have already suggested deletion review as a possibility, and consulting the deleting administrator is another (though perhaps of limited relevance for a deletion so long ago). The deletion was not mine, and I am not going to take action to enable it to be reversed without at the least the deleting administrator being consulted. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:02, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
  • I'm quite willing to unprotect right now; since the odds of a deletion review decision are about 95% "overturn" and 5% "keep deleted" - and since more people here and at the linked AFC want the redirect than even voted in the CFD 4 years ago - it's more efficient to undo protection without further discussion at DRV, and anyone who really thinks it still shouldn't exist can start a new deletion discussion. The deleting admin hasn't edited in 2 months. My only concern is I won't be around a lot this afternoon if someone objects and demands my head. @JamesBWatson:, are you just saying you won't do it personally, or are you saying you actually object if I choose to do it? --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:24, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
@Floquenbeam: I was just saying that I wouldn't do it. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 08:52, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: IP vandalism on an almost constant basis, for a Featured List article no less. To be honest I'm wondering why I never reported this before, perhaps because in the past other editors were just quick to revert it. Things are not how they used to be here at Wikipedia. There seems to be no one running the insane asylum anymore and the loonies have been set loose, free to vandalize the place. It would be nice to have a momentary respite from the insanity, a couple months at least. Thanks in advance, Pericles of AthensTalk 01:43, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Secondly, I don't see any reason to keep a 10-year old protection as there hasn't been many edits to this page since protection was enabled. Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:21, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Jackson J. Spielvogel

Protection: Hi. I've been watching the Jackson J. Spielvogel page, and noticed a lot of vandalism. I reverted the vandal edits, but they just kept on coming. I reverted links to porn websites, a ROBLOX livestream, and a reference to a Los Angeles river death incident (the person who put that in the article did it in such a way that the average person would see it as fact, and they added a reference to assure that as well, but it was fake). People have been editing the nicknames of him, for example 'Jackson J. 'Josef Stalin' Spielvogel' and 'Jackson J. 'Git' Spielvogel'. The vandalism is getting out of hand, and I am applying for a semi-protection of the page, to review all edits before going ahead. I don't know if I should do it indefinitely, but the high level of vandalism is a big issue. AllyGebies (talk) 02:57, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Human feces

Indefinite semi-protection: This page had been protected for good reason (pages about feces, toilets, etc. are prone to vandalism), but it seems that the protection has recently lapsed.

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Malinaccier (talk) 18:24, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
this is disappointing. It is not "preemptively" - there was plenty of vandalism before we got the protection. So now we have to again allow vandals to come along and waste our time before we get it protected again? There is unfortunately no trend for less vandalism on Wikipedia. Particularly all the pages that deal with bodily functions, e.g. feces, defecation, urination - they all get a lot of vandalism. You'll see. Just look at the page history before we got it protected. :-( EMsmile (talk) 23:17, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
I did look at it. That's why it was protected for an entire year. Samsara 23:55, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
Is one year regarded as long? Is there any evidence to suggest that a page with this kind of topic would attract less vandalism in 2018 than it did in 2016? Just wondering if there is a hypothesis for this. (I can understand it with other kinds of topics that go in and out of favor, e.g. names of politicians) EMsmile (talk) 00:02, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
You are right that this is likely to attract further attention from vandals. My interpretation of the policy on preemptive protection is that we wish to maintain Wikipedia's status as "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" when at all possible. One year is regarded as long. My guess is that if the article is continuously disrupted that the next administrator will protect the page indefinitely. Malinaccier (talk) 00:30, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
OK, thanks for taking the time to explain this to me, much appreciated. Let's wait and see then. As soon as it gets vandalised more than 3 times, I will be back here and ask for page protection. :-) Thanks. EMsmile (talk) 01:13, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism – 90% of pending edits are vandalism and require immediate unacceptance. See here. Pending Pages review is not strong enough for this article. {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 13:12, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Declined (Already has pending changes protection, which looks like it is enough.) AlexiusHoratius 18:27, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi, AlexiusHoratius. By that logic, full protection would never be used. Over 90% of the edits on this page are vandalism. Pending Changes review will still let some slip through. The barrier to editing needs to be raised to full protection, so that changes will be discussed on the talk page. Vandal editors are doing constant hit and runs to try to get through the pending changes gauntlet.
By what logic would full protection ever be warranted, if 90 percent plus is not enough? Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 00:51, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
One of the only times full protection is used is when a bunch of autoconfirmed, established users are edit warring. Even then, the protection is only used for a few days - maybe a week. (Remember that only admins can edit a fully protection page - and even those aren't supposed to be substantial edits.) Full protection is never used on an article that is only being vandalized a few times a week by IPs. AlexiusHoratius 01:13, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

@Dlohcierekim: Thanks, but another short term protection will be ineffective as proved by the long protection that goes back a decade.

Gender identity

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing by unconfirmed users. Funcrunch (talk) 15:57, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Samsara 18:05, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
I respectfully request a second opinion. This article is frequently disrupted, and I argue that pending changes protection is insufficient as editors are also affected by this trans-antagonistic vandalism. This article should have the same indefinite semi-protection as was just granted to Sex and gender distinction, which draws the same repetitive "there are only 2 genders" vandalism. Funcrunch (talk) 23:33, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
Declined by me as well. Having looked at the history, PC1 appears to be working fine, and without wanting to state the obvious semi-protection isn't going to have any effect on the rendered output of a page that's under PC1 so unless there's such a flood of disruption that it makes the reviewers' jobs impossible protection would serve no useful purpose. ‑ Iridescent 23:59, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
My point was that for trans and non-binary editors like myself, having to see "There are only 2 genders" vandalism constantly has a negative effect. With semi-protection such edits are rarely made (as they come almost exclusively from unconfirmed users), whereas with pending protection I still see them even if the general public does not. I talked about this in presentations which are linked from my user page. I don't expect a third review of this decision, I just wanted to explain my viewpoint as a long-time Wikipedia editor as well as a non-binary trans person. Funcrunch (talk) 00:58, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
Sorry to sound harsh, but that's not how Wikipedia works. This is "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit", and one could make the same "it upsets me to see views that disagree from mine" argument for almost any even remotely contentious topic. Protection and in particular indefinite protection is a last resort when all else fails, not a pre-emptive measure. (Bear in mind also that Wikipedia's role is to give due balance to all views, and while "there are only two genders" may be a minority view it's hardly the preserve of a tiny clique on the lunatic fringe; if the article isn't giving due weight to the school of thought that sex=gender=chromosomes we're doing something wrong. Even on topics like Fascism, Wikipedia's article scrupulously covers the views of its supporters.) ‑ Iridescent 01:14, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
Question: Iridescent and Samsara, I encourage you to reconsider this decision. First, Funcrunch is speaking to vandalism in the article (that is usually some attempt to mock folks who are non-binary), not the general viewpoint. I don't think anyone is arguing about due weight issues. Second, I reviewed the last 100 edits in the article. About one-third of them were contributions by unregistered or unconfirmed accounts at the time of editing. Nearly all of them were reverted as they constituted the kind of vandalism Funcrunch describes. Finally, pending changes is generally not a great idea for articles that get frequently edited. This isn't the most frequently edited article, and it has varied month-to-month, but it usually has been edited around 17-19 times per month in the last year, so it is active. If indefinite semi-protection is not possible, would you agree to a period of semi-protection? The article was previously semi-protected for a week in 2016, so perhaps several weeks or a month would be appropriate. I JethroBT drop me a line 02:49, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
In terms of frequency of edits, it's only the non-autoconfirmed edits that are relevant, and they're about one every five days over the last month. That's not too high for PC1. As for edits that mock the subject of an article in some way, that is a principle that applies to many, perhaps most, articles that are vandalised. But on the observation that the last edit that was kept was in May, I've granted the requested month of semi-protection. Samsara 04:31, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Declined Disruption and POV edits by one user aren't enough for me to protect the article; articles need to typically be undergoing a high rate of disruptive edits and by multiple users before we should consider protecting.

Temporary full protection: edit warring by a user who does not want to understand neither WP:PARAPHRASE, nor WP:DUE. Borsoka (talk) 18:35, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Rgvis, Borsoka: I will note and give warning that you both were each within a very close breadth of being blocked for edit warring and violating Wikipedia's three-revert rule. The reason I did not was because the edit warring seemed to have recently stopped, and Borsoka had not received a warning on his talk page for edit warring on the article (which I have now left). Both of you need to understand that edit warring is not acceptable, even in cases where you know and believe yourself and your revision(s) to be absolutely correct and the other editor not. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page, and please be more careful next time. I definitely don't want to be the bad guy over something silly such as this :-). I wish you both well and that you resolve the dispute peacefully. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:48, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Oshwah, thank you for your action. Please remember that "Removal of clear copyright violations" is exempt from the edit-warring policy. Please also remember that I tried to discuss the issue on the article Talk page from the beginning, but I did not receive any real answer. Borsoka (talk) 01:08, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Borsoka - I see. I didn't know that this issue was in regards to the removal of copyrighted content; if this is indeed the case, please accept my apologies and forgive me. I was not aware of this, and if that detail had been added to this request, I would have made a different statement here and at the WP:AN3 report you filed ;-). Let me review the content with this information in-mind and see if anything needs to be redacted. Thank you for responding here and for bringing this to my attention. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:17, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Oshwah, please also review the text mentioned in this edit ([58]). Rgvis claims that my text also violates WP:PARAPHRASE. I think this is not the case, but I would be grateful, if it were checqued. Thank you for your action. Borsoka (talk) 01:23, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Looking at the page history, it looks like the user has attempted to cite references with the content added (Example diff), but it does appear that the content added might to be paraphrased. I'll leave my judgment here as-is while acknowledging your basis for reverting; as I indicated, the article is now fully protected, which is the main basis for this particular noticeboard. I'll leave it to you both to discuss and resolve the matter peacefully :-). Please let me know if you have questions or concerns, or if you need additional assistance. I'll be more than happy to help if it is needed. Again, I appreciate your follow-up response here, Borsoka. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:33, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Oshwah, if my understanding is correct, if I copy texts from books, but I add a reference at the end of each sentence, I do not violate any copyright. For instance, Sedlar, in his cited book, says: "Herders and peasants by occupation, the Vlachs occupied the lowest rung of the social ladder, superior only to slaves. They suffered the additional disability of adherence to Eastern Orthodoxy, which in predominantly Catholic Hungary was considered a deviant and sometimes even a heretical form of Christianity." Rgvis, writes: "The Romanians suffered the additional disability of adherence to the Eastern Orthodoxy, which in predominantly Catholic Hungary was considered a deviant and sometimes even a heretical form of Christianity. They occupied the lowest rung of the social ladder, superior only to slaves." Similarly, Seton-Watson writes: the Vlachs "were still on a footing of equality", while Rgvis' text is the following: "At the end of the 13th century, they were still on a footing of equality with the other three privileged groups". Could I also copy texts from books in the future if I provide references? Borsoka (talk) 01:50, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Borsoka: I'm not an expert on all things copyright nor am I 100% familiar with all situations that would warrant something a copyright violation (I'm proficient with the obvious stuff), so don't quote anything I say in this response here (haha).
However, I believe that if you copy word-for-word from any reference or source, you have to put what was directly copied inside quotations. In certain situations, content also needs to be licensed and its copyright information clearly known and stated on the source that doing this is okay (assuming such content is owned by the reference), unless this information is public domain or otherwise proven as okay to be directly copied like this. In situations where copying word-for-word from a source may be okay, we can't copy word-for-word in every situation. In your particular example above, I don't believe that I would anticipate an issue coming back to bite you (again, I'm not 100% certain - you'll need to check the policies and verify this). But in other cases out there in a general sense (say for example, someone copying... song lyrics from a recent song directly from a book) this would be a completely different story.
I can say this for sure, though: we define copyright policies and provide the appropriate guidelines and with a strict expectation that they be followed so that all situations are covered and Wikipedia doesn't put itself at risk for issues in this aspect. In the end, this noticeboard is about addressing concerns regarding the need to apply page protection on articles. Due to the back-and-fourth reverting (as reported here), I have elected to fully protect until these questions are answered and the issues resolved. Your questions regarding copyrights would be best asked at Wikipedia:Copyright questions, where editors and administrators more vested and experienced in this area would be able to help you. Please let me know if you have any more questions regarding this report and my decision to apply protection to the article involved, and I'll be happy to answer them. Again, I appreciate your follow-up responses and questions. I'll do what I can to properly assist you, or (if anything) at least direct you to a place where you'll receive that assistance.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Req: 3 month semi-protection.

See these 5 edits, this, this, this, this, this, this, etc. Though I've never seen this film, nor do I actually care about Indian films, I did participate in discussions about how the gross should be presented.

World War II

RE: World War II -Semi-protected edit request on 13 September 2017/Suggestion for text outlining creation of Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs

ATTENTION EDITORS: Kindly reconsider and/or review this request for the addition of new text as outlined in the discussion shown below in light of the additional primary source material now available at the United States National Archive online reference as described in the following reply which was posted to the talk page of User:Nick-D (See the talk page for World War II). Many thanks in advance for your thoughtful consideration. Respectfully, 104.207.219.150 (talk) 18:09, 9 November 2017 (UTC)PS

Hello Nick-D;
Many thanks for your comments regarding the proposed changes to the article World War II as described on the article's talk page (See Below).
While it is possible that the suggested additional content is irrelevant or largely unimportant as you suggest, I thought that you might enjoy reviewing an example of primary source material from the United States National Archive before dismissing the proposed content entirely. The original source material indicates that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt established the Office of the Coordinator for Inter-American Affairs as part of a broader strategy for preventing Germany, Italy and Spain from establishing a military presence in South and Central America. In addition, it illustrates actions taken by Nelson Rockefeller to implement this strategy during the 1940s. I hope that you enjoy reviewing the material and that you are able to share it with your fellow editors in order to ensure the highest degree of accuracy in the article.

Kindly consider amending Section 4.0 Course of the war/4.2 Western Europe shown below to include additional text outlining Roosevelt's creation of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs
Although Roosevelt had promised to keep the United States out of the war, he nevertheless took concrete steps to prepare for war. In December 1940 he accused Hitler of planning world conquest and ruled out negotiations as useless, calling for the US to become an "arsenal of democracy" and promoted the passage of Lend-Lease aid to support the British war effort.[101] In January 1941 secret high level staff talks with the British began for the purposes of determining how to defeat Germany should the US enter the war. They decided on a number of offensive policies, including an air offensive, the "early elimination" of Italy and Spain, raids, support of resistance groups, and the capture of positions to launch an offensive against Germany.[108]
Additional text (or an additional paragraph) might be included at the end of the paragraph shown above to outline additional steps taken by Roosevelt to prepare for the war while also encouraging the peaceful resolution of conflict:
By July of 1941, Roosevelt also authorized the creation of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, in an effort to respond to German, Italian and Spanish propaganda in Latin America through the use of news, film and radio broadcast media. In the process, Roosevelt also sought to enhance his Good Neighbor policy, promote Pan-Americanism and forestall military hostility through the use of cultural diplomacy. [2]

Inline icon templates by shape and color

Indefinite template protection: High-risk template – Highly visible templates - no clear reason a non-administrator would need to change them as they is a standard format icon templates used in (often-critical) processes.

I don't want to spam the RPP request page over time, so I have listed them all at once, so could you please template protect all the templates listed. Many critical marking templates like  Endorsed by a checkuser are not protected, and this could potentially be a problem if some vandal realized this. (note: some may already be done, I basically just copied the list from the documentation after randomly checking a few and finding they were unprotected). Dysklyver 14:34, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

If they're doing something wrong, why aren't we warning them? Page protection is not a method that should be used in place of communication. Talk to the users or warn them; if it keeps occurring, we can begin considering page protection starting from there. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 05:08, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected., due to the edit warring but see message on talk page as there's a lot of misuse of rollback tools going on here. Rollback is to be used for vandalism, not a content dispute, which is what this is. fish&karate 09:56, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
@Fish and karate: Please do not assume the worst. I could not care less about this topic area to edit-war or use rollback without being convinced it was vandalism. I thought that the IP was anachronistically changing flags in this and other articles from the correct time of the Empire to the modern state, so I rolled it back to what I thought was the correct era. I have no canine in this fight. In good faith, I thought I was reverting vandalism of the flag image, given the time that the Russian empire ended. Please see my detailed response at the article talk. In any case, I am unwatching this article and disengaging from this topic area, as this subject appears trickier than most I have so far encountered. Dr. K. 11:07, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Spartan Race

Indefinite semi-protection: BLP policy violations – WP:INVOLVED request. This page has been under attack by a now-banned editor using IPs and open proxies for most of the last two years, repeatedly adding the same unsourced negative assertions about living persons involved in the company. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:21, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

  • I'm not accepting or declining it, but please explain to me what the BLP violation here is, as all I can see is a content dispute over who founded these races. fish&karate 15:21, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
The BLP violations are edits such as this which are poorly or entirely unsourced. More examples: [62] [63] [64] [65] (edit summaries are also informative). The IPs also frequently add links as references which lead to attack blogs, for example [66] [67]. There's also a fair bit of this on the talk page. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:28, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
I don't see those as BLP issues, this is a content dispute over who founded the races, the edits are not biographical in nature; I'm personally reluctant to use page protection to stifle a contentious content dispute to the advantage of the editors with accounts, but will let someone else make the decision in case I'm wrong here. fish&karate 15:35, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
I wrote a long thing here in response, but instead I'll just ask you to type in the URL lastrace316[dot]com in your browser, which the IP user has repeatedly tried to insert as a source (e.g. [68] [69]), and then perhaps again with joedesena[dot]org ([70] [71]), and compare the use of such sources in a Wikipedia article to the guidance at WP:BLPSELFPUB and WP:BLPEL.
You're correct that there's a running content discussion regarding the origin of these events, among editors with accounts who are capable of debating and analyzing sources within the norms of Wikipedia policy. The IP user, on the other hand, repeatedly disrupts these discussions with their conspiracy claims and links to self-authored attack blogs, which only ceases when the page is protected. I respect your decision to leave this for another admin to review (as I'm doing by posting here in the first place), and in case it will be informative here are some relevant discussions from the talk page and from ANI. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:23, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Century break

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – There is an ongoing tendency for editors to alter the information in this table without providing a source. For example, in just the last 24 hours alone we have had two different figures installed for Stephen Lee (see [72] and [73]). He has not played since 2014 so his tally cannot have changed. While I don't want to prevent editors from updating the table the updates would benefit from review to ensure that new sources are provided for the figures. At the moment it seems to be a lottery which figure gets added. This has been a recurring problem over the last few years and I think PC would greatly enhance the quality control for the article.

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Repeated joke edits, removal of proof of verification, treating the main page like public noticeboard, personal attacks, and just pure vandalism.

However, there are far too many IP editors reverting vandalism and making constructive contributions for semi-protection, so pending changes will help us throw out the bathwater without throwing out the baby.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  20:41, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

This page should be protected because of users like the AHMED XIV (as the name says, obviously someone of the Middle East who feel something against other Middle East country) who do not like obvious and verified facts and even despite the confirmation of the added content, people like this will continue in removing the content of the page without any meaningful reason and likely just because of some personal indignation they feel against a certain country, in this case the Algeria.

Net neutrality

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Apparent edit war going on over this image. I am not involved. theinstantmatrix (talk) 15:38, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

The image does in fact not seem appropriate for the article. The picture is about mobile plans in Portugal, where you can purchase additional packages that don't count towards the mobile data cap of your existing plan. This means you can buy e.g. 1 GB of general data, but if you're a heavy user of streaming websites, you can buy a package so that they don't count towards your 1 GB cap. There is no throttling or restricting involved and you can use your 1 GB however you want. Portugal does, in fact, have net neutrality, as does every EU country by EU law, and cable internet in Portugal does not have data caps in general or any other restrictions. As an example: https://www.meo.pt/pacotes/mais-pacotes/fibra/net-voz
Furthermore, there has been an increased amount of vandalism in the article. Instead of using the section specifically about the US, people are now flooding sections like the general heading with US-internal politics that don't concern net neutrality in general. Any and all US-internal net neutrality politics should be restricted to the US section, as is done with every other country.

Indefinite full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Not a very straight-forward case of edit warring as the actual edits differ, but its obvious from the Talk page and edit summary that there is an edit war going on. A Full Page Protection would help while seeking a third opinion.

I.e.:

  • If Jytdog disagrees, they can revert me themself
  • Great. More conflict of interest editing
  • 2 independent editors have gone through a lot of effort to write a neutral article which has consensus. Stop reverting it it your previous version
  • Changes to remove blanket statement

@Dlohcierekim: There is not one on this, but was on the NRAs talk page that is not what they have edited out. Sir Joseph and Niteshift36 are editing against what was discussed on the NRA talk page. Someone tried to remove it by claiming a run on sentence. Niteshift36 has followed me to several edits I have made and reverted this. When you locked the page it was after Sir Joseph reverted what was talked about on the talk page that is now in Archive. I ask you revert their edits that were discussed on the talk page for a bit and added a months ago. Thanks ContentEditman (talk) 23:58, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

The page history today is nothing but reverts of different material. No 3RR that I can tell, but edit warring involving multiple editors. I think full protection is warranted, but would prefer another set of eyes. . TonyBallioni (talk) 02:52, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Sergio Verdú

Long-term semi-protection: An IP-hopping editor, geolocated to the same place as Verdú, has been repeatedly blanking the parts of the article about an investigation that determined Verdú to have committed sexual harassment, for over a week, since the results of the investigation were made public. In the meantime other IP editors have been pushing non-reliable sources into the article concerning a student petition to have him fired (see article talk for an RFC on this issue). The article needs some stability, not only to let the RFC run, but also to prevent the documented material on harassment from being whitewashed out of the article. I'm too WP:INVOLVED or I'd do it myself. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:59, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I normally wouldn't fully protect the page with so little of a dispute / edit war history and length, but this article subject is under two very contentious topics (conflict in the middle-east, and rape), one of which I believe is under discretionary sanctions (WP:ARBPIA). Because of this, I'm much more inclined to take action sooner than usual to keep the editing environment acceptable and collaborative for all users. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 09:59, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Someday (Mariah Carey song)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Someone is using multiple IP addresses to make single or double edits and keeps making unverifiable changes.  — Calvin999 12:41, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Note: @Calvin999: Unverifiable? The book exists. [98] @Ymblanter: See my comment, thanks. Samsara 12:47, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
I protected it for three days because the IP hopper does not discuss their edits, but, generally, this is a content dispute, and one needs to finally go at the talk page where the IP, hopefully, will join the discussion.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:51, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
I generally try to keep established editor privilege to a minimum in such cases, i.e. if they did not make an effort to discuss at talk either, then no protection is granted. Do we need to discuss as well? ;) Cheers, Samsara 12:54, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
Yes the book exists, but it can't be verified without having the book to hand, and I don't have a copy. Also, what makes an unauthorized writer an expert on musical composition? This person is using multiple IP addresses to edit multiple articles so he or she can't be easily blocked. It's happening on several other articles.  — Calvin999 14:57, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
@Calvin999: There is a problem with all of the arguments you've made. First of all, you not having a copy of the book is not a meaningful demand. I've probably written articles using many books as sources that you happen to not have at home. All of those are perfectly valid sources. There is no Wikipedia rule that says YOU have to have a copy of the book. I hope you can see that this would be ludicrous. Next, what makes an expert on musical composition? Good question. I suspect the answer is of the, "you are if other people say you are" variety, but I'd be surprised if there were a circle of dance-pop vs. RnB experts who all verify each other. Certainly my musical composition exam did not include a test of my ability to tell dance-pop and RnB apart. So in my projection, it may boil down to "Mr. Smith in his book Foo considers the song to be RnB, while Mrs. Smith in her book Baz considers it to be dance-pop". The fact that musical genre warring is among the most frequent forms of dispute on Wikipedia should give you an idea of how subjective the definition of musical genres can be. Finally, using multiple IP addresses to edit multiple articles so he or she can't be easily blocked is not an assertion you will be able to prove, unless the user self-incriminates. Some ISPs will simply assign a new IP address every time a person reconnects. Hence, having a new IP address every few hours can be entirely innocent. Pinging Ymblanter FYI. Samsara 15:21, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
There is actually a topic at the talk page which addresses exactly this question, but it is from 2016 and does not mention this book. In any case, this is the responsibility of the editors of the article to go to the talk page and to discuss, otherwise the protection can be upgraded to full protection, which probably nobody wants.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:25, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
Samsara I'd only expect someone who edits music articles to know, but there is such a big problem around the sourcing of genres and whether the critics are qualified for writing about music. Some songs list maybe five or six genres, half of them being unsourced. I've used books before, but not for genre interpretations. The song is reliably sourced as being a Dance-pop song with elements of New jack swing. You're completely going overboard with what I said and misinterpreting what I said. I said I don't have a copy, I don't. Of course there isn't a rule saying I need to and it is ludicrous, so what a pointless thing to say. I didn't mean that I and only I must be able to verify it. I couldn't find it on Google Books, and I don't know anyone who has it. So that's what I mean by I can't verify it. Adding it because it's in a book, well we could all do that couldn't we. That is my point about verification. Next, what I mean about being qualified is that people who REVIEW music for newspapers, online magazines etc are generally qualified to do so, so we take that as accurate. This is the writer of an unauthorized biography. While I accept there is information about Mariah herself which may be useful and accurate, how useful and accurate is his interpretation of her musical compositions? It is his opinion, and I take the line that his opinion in this circumstance is about as valid as mine, meaning I can't source myself with my opinion, like none of us editors can. You don't need to lecture me about genre warring, I spent most of my time countering it and making sure it doesn't happen by cleaning articles up with genre issues. The source for Dance-pop and hence the author is from America's biggest music magazine and one of the leading editors, so we take that as accurate. And yes I can prove it, because it's clear as anything in my watchlist that the same person is making the same edits on multiple pages of the same topic. But thanks for your input, I'm sure it has been appreciated.  — Calvin999 15:41, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
And I need to challenge you again, as you keep throwing around the term "unauthorised". Most biographies are not authorised, and it is not meaningful if they are. What matters is that they be factually accurate, which has just about nothing to do with being "authorised". Yes, an authorised writer could have better access to source material, but equally, they could be paid to project a certain image that is not truthful, or be deliberately and unwittingly misled by the subject. Moreover, it seems the author has published two biographies of her (not unusual since she is still alive), only the second of which uses the "unauthorised" label in the title. It's unclear to me that we should rely on the first book more simply because it doesn't use that label... Next, just because a person has written a book rather than a newspaper snippet about a new album or single is not a solid argument against their ability to reasonably assign a genre to a song. In fact, a person could be writing for the music section of a newspaper and also be writing books. Samsara 15:53, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
I never even said anything about a first book. You've missed the point of what I said. He is someone writing about her and her life. It is useful for information about her life, but for things about music, such as genres, his opinion is no different to mine. I could say it's pop-rock but I have nothing to back that up with. Billboard is a more reliable source for the genre than his biography is, and that is the line that should be taken.  — Calvin999 17:34, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
Or you take it to the talk page and establish a consensus with regards to it. 2A02:C7F:708D:B600:D559:E2E9:B3A:77DB (talk) 19:11, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Samsara Binksternet just reverted a whole series of edits across many Mariah Carey by someone using different IP addresses for evasion. I was right when I said it was the same person.  — Calvin999 10:12, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection.

Yes the book exists, but it can't be verified without having the book to hand, and I don't have a copy. Also, what makes an unauthorized writer an expert on musical composition? This person is using multiple IP addresses to edit multiple articles so he or she can't be easily blocked. It's happening on several other articles.  — Calvin999 14:57, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
@Calvin999: There is a problem with all of the arguments you've made. First of all, you not having a copy of the book is not a meaningful demand. I've probably written articles using many books as sources that you happen to not have at home. All of those are perfectly valid sources. There is no Wikipedia rule that says YOU have to have a copy of the book. I hope you can see that this would be ludicrous. Next, what makes an expert on musical composition? Good question. I suspect the answer is of the, "you are if other people say you are" variety, but I'd be surprised if there were a circle of dance-pop vs. RnB experts who all verify each other. Certainly my musical composition exam did not include a test of my ability to tell dance-pop and RnB apart. So in my projection, it may boil down to "Mr. Smith in his book Foo considers the song to be RnB, while Mrs. Smith in her book Baz considers it to be dance-pop". The fact that musical genre warring is among the most frequent forms of dispute on Wikipedia should give you an idea of how subjective the definition of musical genres can be. Finally, using multiple IP addresses to edit multiple articles so he or she can't be easily blocked is not an assertion you will be able to prove, unless the user self-incriminates. Some ISPs will simply assign a new IP address every time a person reconnects. Hence, having a new IP address every few hours can be entirely innocent. Pinging Ymblanter FYI. Samsara 15:21, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
There is actually a topic at the talk page which addresses exactly this question, but it is from 2016 and does not mention this book. In any case, this is the responsibility of the editors of the article to go to the talk page and to discuss, otherwise the protection can be upgraded to full protection, which probably nobody wants.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:25, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
Samsara I'd only expect someone who edits music articles to know, but there is such a big problem around the sourcing of genres and whether the critics are qualified for writing about music. Some songs list maybe five or six genres, half of them being unsourced. I've used books before, but not for genre interpretations. The song is reliably sourced as being a Dance-pop song with elements of New jack swing. You're completely going overboard with what I said and misinterpreting what I said. I said I don't have a copy, I don't. Of course there isn't a rule saying I need to and it is ludicrous, so what a pointless thing to say. I didn't mean that I and only I must be able to verify it. I couldn't find it on Google Books, and I don't know anyone who has it. So that's what I mean by I can't verify it. Adding it because it's in a book, well we could all do that couldn't we. That is my point about verification. Next, what I mean about being qualified is that people who REVIEW music for newspapers, online magazines etc are generally qualified to do so, so we take that as accurate. This is the writer of an unauthorized biography. While I accept there is information about Mariah herself which may be useful and accurate, how useful and accurate is his interpretation of her musical compositions? It is his opinion, and I take the line that his opinion in this circumstance is about as valid as mine, meaning I can't source myself with my opinion, like none of us editors can. You don't need to lecture me about genre warring, I spent most of my time countering it and making sure it doesn't happen by cleaning articles up with genre issues. The source for Dance-pop and hence the author is from America's biggest music magazine and one of the leading editors, so we take that as accurate. And yes I can prove it, because it's clear as anything in my watchlist that the same person is making the same edits on multiple pages of the same topic. But thanks for your input, I'm sure it has been appreciated.  — Calvin999 15:41, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
And I need to challenge you again, as you keep throwing around the term "unauthorised". Most biographies are not authorised, and it is not meaningful if they are. What matters is that they be factually accurate, which has just about nothing to do with being "authorised". Yes, an authorised writer could have better access to source material, but equally, they could be paid to project a certain image that is not truthful, or be deliberately and unwittingly misled by the subject. Moreover, it seems the author has published two biographies of her (not unusual since she is still alive), only the second of which uses the "unauthorised" label in the title. It's unclear to me that we should rely on the first book more simply because it doesn't use that label... Next, just because a person has written a book rather than a newspaper snippet about a new album or single is not a solid argument against their ability to reasonably assign a genre to a song. In fact, a person could be writing for the music section of a newspaper and also be writing books. Samsara 15:53, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
I never even said anything about a first book. You've missed the point of what I said. He is someone writing about her and her life. It is useful for information about her life, but for things about music, such as genres, his opinion is no different to mine. I could say it's pop-rock but I have nothing to back that up with. Billboard is a more reliable source for the genre than his biography is, and that is the line that should be taken.  — Calvin999 17:34, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
Or you take it to the talk page and establish a consensus with regards to it. 2A02:C7F:708D:B600:D559:E2E9:B3A:77DB (talk) 19:11, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Malegaon

It is taken from Talk page and made by Hororoka.

Semi-protection: is requested because

  • Continuous disruptive editing by IPs and vandalism.
  • Content dispute - Disputed content without giving source is added. An example is given below.
  • Unknown users are editing continuously and spreading communal violence.
  • Unknown editors are spreading linguistic hatred.
  • This page is spreading hate against Maharashtra state and Marathi language.
  • Real information is being hidden on purpose to pursue goals of certain communities.

Here is an example of vandalism made by IPs old-edit

With hundreds of Urdu schools, colleges and madrasas, Malegaon is a major centre of the Urdu language in modern India. Urdu is prevalent in all eastern parts of city. There are sign boards in Urdu in all parts of city — similar to undivided India.

Malegaon Municipal Corporation releases its meeting agenda's and proceedings in Urdu since 8 December 2013. Malegaon Municipal Corporation has been named with freedom fighter and first Indian education minister Maulana Abul Kalam Azad: Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Bhawan, Malegaon.[2]

Malegaon is a Muslim majority city with approximately 78.95% of the population following Islam as their religion.

Full-protection: High level of edit-warring destabilizes the article and protecting it would bring editors to discussion more readily. Last stable version is here Jack Sebastian (talk) 23:54, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Looks like we both had the same idea of requesting protection. Protection would definitely be beneficial, to prevent the above editor from continuing their edit-war against multiple editors.
What is linked is also not the most stable version, as the IP's edits go against the standard method of revealing episodes prematurely; what seems to be the case is finding a version before any of my reverts (as I reverted the above edit to the stable version). Administrators also do not revert to any "stable" version before protection. -- AlexTW 00:02, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – There have been persistent attempts to add unsourced (albeit true) information about a non-notable "fan version" of this game by IP users. The additions only happen once every week or two (after which I remove them), so semi-protection doesn't seem viable. I've requested indefinite PC because, as I said, it's been happening over the course of a few weeks at least, and, frankly, I'm getting tired of reverting them, and they're violating WP:NOTPROMO.

There's Got to Be a Way

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent tampering of the sourced genres. There's no need to keep vandalizing and warring. .  — Calvin999 15:48, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

@Calvin999: If you know of genre-based disruption to multiple articles by IPs that you believe to be the same user, could you make the report in aggregate, so we can see the full spectrum of behaviours? It may or may not be possible to get a range block if it's clear that they're just being disruptive for the sake of it. Strictly speaking, WP:AIV or WP:ANI may be better venues, but I'm sure we can deal with the query here if need be. Cheers, Samsara 15:58, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
You've been told numerous times that because it was hyphenated it musn't be used as it means they (the source) has hyphenated the two as a compound noun, which usually refers to fusion/crossover in music, besides if it's been flat listed surely that isn't a bad thing, I see you do a lot of Rihanna pages and Break it Off's source call it pop-dancehall but if you were going by your own rule you would've changed the info box to say Pop-dancehall not Dancehall  · pop. 2A02:C7F:708D:B600:C139:3D1F:FD3:62C6 (talk) 16:24, 27 November 2017 (UTC) (Marked as sock of MariaJaydHicky)
The original source calls TGTBAW "R&B/pop". So if we're being technical about this, both of you are wrong. Samsara 16:33, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
You yourself are saying "generally", now what you've doing is list two genres separately for a song. A song can't be two separate songs, the hyphenation, even the slash, avoids this problem. You are messing around with sourced information. The critic didn't call it an R&B and a Pop song. He called it a R&B/Pop song, that's different, whether it's hyphenated or not. That shows it's a crossover, which is exactly what you are arguing. So what is your problem? You're the only one saying not to use a hyphen. You don't seem to understand what we use what the source says, not what you think.  — Calvin999 17:32, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

November 29

Short-term semi-protection. While it's typical for days of the year articles to get targeted when it's that day, this one's getting an unusually high number of bad edits. I'm trying to clear out the pending protection log but I'm already at three reverts in the past hour and a half with one more pending edit, which is lowkey vandalism and inarguably junk, waiting in the queue. 12-15 hours should work.
