Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 21:13, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: This page is the persistent target of the subject or the subject's friends trying to turn it into a fan page (see some of the talk-page discussion, plus tags on the article itself). Now a dynamic IP address is at it. Multiple registered editors have been pushing back against this promotional onslaught of self-citing, fan-blog citing and more, but once a dynamic IP address starts, there's no communicating with the person. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:28, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This is longer than I'd normally protect for, but given the number of throwaway and IP accounts causing a general nuisance I'd like to protect it for long enough to see if semiprotection (a) solves the problem, or (b) causes further problems. If it becomes clear that this is preventing good-faith new editors from editing, any admin has my consent to lift the protection without consulting me. ‑ Iridescent 19:33, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Reduction in protection level: Indefinitely semi-protected since March 2011. Since this date the Wii's popularity has waned in comparison to newer video game consoles. Downgrading to pending changes or removing protection may be viable, as any IP vandalism seems fairly likely to be much less severe given how much time has passed since the protection was applied.

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – I'm getting really tired of the constant flow of meatpuppets on this article. Could we have either PC or EC for the remainder of the school year? Perhaps that will at least engender conversation rather than edit warring, but the bottom line is the article is just fraught with POV pushing that in all likelyhood will not go anywhere.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – There is some confusion with a recent procedure announced by Billboard on the future dating of their magazine issues and charts, via this press release. It is causing a number of disruptive edits, where editors (particularly IPs) are changing the date of the first 2018 chart from January 3 to January 6. (Per the press release, the first chart in 2018 is January 3, followed the next week by January 6.). MPFitz1968 (talk) 21:39, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Still waiting on decision for semiprotection or not, after similar edits [1][2] (from yet another IP). MPFitz1968 (talk) 16:16, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
  • To Admin: I think 2 weeks IP protection is a good idea here. There's some confusion over this change but some IPs are just not getting it. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 16:59, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I don't know why it wasn't acted on sooner. The page has never been protected, which I understand is because it's brand new, but even then, 2 weeks seems a bit rash to me for a first protection. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:12, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Full-protection: There seems to be another very specific attack on both these pages (and some other related pages, especially [3]) by 111.69.70.125 and ThenewEmilyLevesque. Edit histories and comments are quite suspicious, especially when ThenewEmilyLevesque in oddly saying: "I am not a sockpuppet of Joey (he said once he doesn't even want to sock or make a block evasion because of how the 88.188.215.39 and ArianeWiki1 treated him) !)" [4]) They are both likely the confirmed socks of User:JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat [5]. Please protect these pages until the matter is sorted out. Thanks. Arianewiki1 (talk) 07:46, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Short-term full protection Tendetious and destructive mass-reverting on what seems to be a WP:OWN basis, despite reverter beging informed twice an RfC is open about the matter. Not a content dispute, but a one-editor campaign to defy capitalization guidelines, on the basis that a recent RM also about capitalization at a different article closed without consensus due to lack of input. This is not how we do things. If this were only about the capitals, I would let it lie, but the editor is killing all changes to the article.  — SMcCandlish ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ʌ<  00:40, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: Several persistent patterns, mostly from unregistered IPs, have plagued this article since its creation. The most frequent issue pertains to unsourced (or improperly cited) additions to the "List of artists" section. Examples:

3 Jan 20181 Jan 201823 Dec 201716 Dec 201711 Dec 20171 Dec 201723 Nov 201720 Nov 201726 Oct 2017

There has been a giant note instructing editors against indiscriminate additions, but it evidently hasn't done much. Other patterns include: removal of sourced content related to Vice, removal of "Internet meme" from the opening sentence, and removal of a controversial-but-sourced paragraph at the end of the article.--Ilovetopaint (talk)

@Nakon: I disagree. There has been vandalism on and off for months, even some BLP vios. I protected it for three months but that was after you had declined this request (I had opened the page before your edit). I've since removed the protection, but I'm inclined to reinstate it if you agree. Anarchyte (work | talk) 03:50, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
I disagree, but I respect your administrative decision. I did not see enough of a disruption that would warrant protection. However, you are more than welcome to protect this article if you deem it to be necessary. Best, Nakon 03:53, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Permanent template-editor protection: Fairly high-use (and increasing), with a great potential for mayhem (e.g. entire chunks of WP:P&G pages could be hidden or bollixed by messing with this, and it could also affect lots of article content, template documentation, discussions, etc. This template is not very complicated, but its exactitude, like that of {{quote}} (the version for actual quotations) is fine-tuned and should not be changed by the inexperienced. Most of its CSS needs to move into MediaWiki:Common.css, below the /* Styling for Template:Quote */ block. As we migrate away (in articles, anyhow, even if talk pages are a lost cause) from abuse of description list markup for visual indentation, this template will be very, very used.  — SMcCandlish ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ʌ<  12:04, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

@SNUGGUMS: I hardly believe the page was "inappropriately restored" by me. If you compare older revisions made by other users with mine, you can clearly see that the article is well-written and well-sourced now, ready for GAN (taking in consideration that I'm a quite experienced user with a handful of GAs). Also, I suggest opening a discussion on whether "Save as Draft" should be deleted or not, as it seems to be notable (chart peaks, submission to radios, modest press coverage).

I've already tried to nominate this within the past 24 hours for only temporary semi-protection, but I'm requesting for admins to reconsider. Both IP editors and newly-registered users have been rather zealously trying to add a closing date and change the status to "Closed" because of what is still considered to be rumors about the attraction's most recent operating run (having finished January 6, 2018) supposedly being its last. We are still waiting for official word from Disney about this; in fact, the ride's official webpage is still online as of this writing. The only "confirmations" have been from fansites and their social media accounts stating that the ride is supposedly closed for good and the attraction's detractors parroting this.

'Indefinite semi-protection:' Long term IP attempt to promote fringe theories

Anonymous IP109.252.84.173 is attempting to use the page as a soapbox to promote the fringe theories of Igor Ivlev regarding Soviet losses in WW2. Ivlev lacks academic status and his theories are not endorsed in any reliable sources that the Anonymous IP can cite. In fact, I have posted a link to a recent academic source that maintains Ivlev’s arguments are without foundation. [14]. Anonymous IP engages in extensive rant on the talk page and has not followed the Wikipedia guidelines for the use of sources that I have pointed out to him/her.[15] The IPs edit list is an extensive attempt to POV push Ivlev's fringe theories [16] Briefly Ivlev synthesizes various Soviet era sources to prove that Soviet war dead were far higher than are reported in current reliable academic sources.

On Russian Wikipedia IPs POV was rejected by consensus on talk page, the IP then started an edit war on Russian Wikipedia. on 1/6/18 I reverted the IP only once, IP then reverted me. Today, 1/7/18 Russian Wikipedia admins reverted his posting and restored my version, they then partially protected the article Later today, the IP posted a series of uncivil remarks about me here on English Wikipedia. User talk:109.252.84.173#Dear Woogie10w, Vandalism Is not Good. Behave Yourself!--User talk:Woogie10w#Behave yourself!

Recently the page here on English Wikipedia was given protection [17] and the Anonymous IP109.252.84.173 was blocked for disruptive editing twice. [18] [19]

Bishonen - I believe it's always one of three or so phone numbers (it's some kind of admission scam agency); variable IPs, unfortunately, plus a few named accounts last time round, but he gave up on those quickly. I previously just shipped articles to MelanieN whenever he turned to a new institute, she put a couple weeks semi on, and that quietened him down after a while. I'll keep an eye on it and check how constant the numbers are - a filter would certainly be more elegant. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Declined, The IP's removals look perfectly proper to me. Large deletions by IP's are vandalism 99% of the time, I'll admit, but this is the exception. Courcelles (talk) 16:49, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
Agreed. Moreover, when several established editors are unable to read the IP's clear edit summaries telling them to read what they are reinstating and revert blindly, that is reason enough to {{trout}} all of them, including the admin who blocked the IP. Regards SoWhy 16:55, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – An anon has been repeatedly inserting unsourced statements etc and generally making a mess of the article. I opened a thread at the talk page and mentioned that in my last edit summary but they appear to have created an account and reverted me again. They're obviously aware of the contribution history page because they've been copy/pasting from diffs. Semi would force them to discuss.

FWIW, I issued a 3RR warning to the anon. Creating the account after that, as I am sure they have done, sort of avoids any repercussions. Sitush (talk) 08:15, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Comment: Yes. I was very close to blocking the IP and the account. But I went for a warning to the account's talk page. If this persists at all, we should block them both. Yaris678 (talk) 08:32, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

My 2 cents, as someone who works in the field: "drug abuser" is a stigmatizing term. Drug abuse exists as a redirect so somebody typing into the search bar will find their way. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:07, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

I am not sure if it is regional difference, Studying abroad and Studying abroad through student exchange program by definition looks like two different things and has a good page history.

Increase in protection level (to semi-protection): The current protection level is evidently insufficient, as we've just seen the latest sockpuppet account (Arthurssdantas) making over 10 edits to another article (Britney Jean) to bypass the current restrictions here to be upgraded to an autoconfirmed editor in order to edit the article. Determined sockpuppeteers know how to get around these restrictions. Ss112 12:45, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A series of IP editors are edit-warring over one sentence in the lede, repeatedly claiming that they are removing a spoiler, despite having been told about WP's policies on such matters. Temporary protection is the only thing that is going to put a halt to it. The Old JacobiteThe '45 23:45, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Not done As above, protection is not a shortcut to get your own way in a content dispute. IP editors are probably correct in removing unreferenced content from the lede anyway. fish&karate 10:44, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
That is the most ignorant reason I've ever seen given for refusing page protection. Film article plot sections are not referenced because the film itself is the source. So, no, the statement is not referenced in either the plot section or the lede, nor should it be. Furthermore, this is not about "getting my way," as you would know if you looked at the edit history and the talk page. What you have done is guaranteed that the anonymous editors who have repeatedly deleted this information will "get their way." ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 13:49, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Recent films

Temporary semi-protection: Both of these articles have a set of IP addresses removing content as "spoilers". I'm assuming that it's the same person as his (their?) MO is to do the same action with the same rationale. I have explained the function of WP:LEAD and WP:SPOILERS several times on IP user talk pages and the article talk pages but he/they refuse to talk and instead just resort to reverting and begging us not to reveal spoilers. It's tiring. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 19:48, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Declined I actually agree with the IPs here - not because of the petty 'must keep spoilers in the lede at all costs' attitude some editors have, but because what plot summaries there are are completely unreferenced, and unreferenced material does not belong in the lede. Irrespective of this, protection is not an appropriate solution to a content dispute. fish&karate 10:36, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

While there have not been edits in a few day and I do not believe the level of disruption rises to the level of warranting protection there is a clear long-term pattern of issues here. I'm not comfortable with semi as it is a talk page and the disruption is sporadic but am open to any suggestions for how we might handle this without locking it down long-term or "putting a band-aid on it" continually.

Note: (edit conflict) Article is now sanctioned, Yaris678. @Volunteer Marek: Could you point out to me which IP in the short but filled history of that article is the banned user, and which user they are? I'll make sure to throw a block out on them, it just gets a bit hard for admins to remember all of the particular banned users behaviors sometimes. For now if at all possible, I want to hold off on semi-protection just because of the short lifespan the article has had, and that it appears there would be a large amount of what we call collateral damage since it looks like at least several of the non-logged-in users are making useful edits (even though some have been trouble-making). But, please drop a line at my talkpage if the overall behavior from IPs begins to decline or if egregious BLP violations begin. And I'll be sure to throw an immediate protection on it.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – In the past month, a number of IP editors have been trying to mark The Lion King 1½ as a theatrical film in this article because it received a limited theatrical release in some countries and select American cities. However, that film is generally considered to be a direct-to-video film, especially on IMDb which marks it with a "Video" tag on their site (used for primarily direct-to-video releases). In addition, recent edits made by a IP editor also changed the release dates of that film and the first one to different incorrect dates. (That IP editor has been warned about this already and I'm not requesting any further action against them at this time.). –WPA (talk) 02:52, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Declined. I see the problem. About once or twice a month, over the past many months, the page gets one massive vandalism edit. That's not a frequent enough problem to apply semi-protection (which we are reluctant to use for talk pages, and only for a short term when we do). PC would help but PC is not technically possible on talk pages. I'm sorry, I'm afraid we can't help with this kind of spread-out vandalism - but do ask for protection if they hit several times in succession. MelanieN (talk) 02:30, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – This has been going on for years. Someone keeps trying to force mention of a particular cop who they claim was involved in this case ina relatively minor role. They will not discuss, they will not cite a source, and apparently they will not stop trying to add this, ever. Long-term semi or PC should stop it, short-term won’t, they come back every few months and do it again. I’d do it myself but I have been heavily involved in editing the article. Blocking the accounts doing this may also be in order, they create a new account every time they do this. Beeblebrox (talk) 09:18, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Sorry but once every couple of months disruptive editing is not enough to justify page protection with its attendant collateral damages.

@Ad Orientem: I was thinking PC would be a good fit, this seems like exactly what it is for. I had to take an extended break last year and this same self-promotion was added again and sat in the article for nearly six months. PC would have caught that while alllowing other edits through.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism. An IP editor has made no less than five reverts (two of them massive) of the actions of three editors (including myself) in the article in just 14 hours.

The editor in question is now also making unsourced edits, inserting info that is not per the cited sources and the one sourced edit he made was based on a twitter post, which is not accepted as a reliable source per WP policy. Also, two more IP editors have now joined in and are removing sourced content, one calling the content's sources pro PKK terrorist sources. EkoGraf (talk) 22:32, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Full-protection: Persistent IP vandalism. Editors constantly adding false and un-needed information. Purposely not structuring an episode table properly, taking out key information and adding what they would rather see despite a reliable source stating the information that was there before.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – An article about a song, where a blocked editor is using different IPs to add a claim that is not (and cannot be) sourced, namely that she co-wrote the lyrics. The discussion here makes it quite clear that it's unsourcable. Most recently, an unintelligible YouTube clip has been posted as "attribution", but it doesn't work as a source since it doesn't mention the alleged info - the reader is supposed to infer something that isn't said or even alluded to. Reporting the IPs doesn't work since she changes them. Discussion and explanations don't work. It has not been going on for more than a couple of days right now, but the campaign to right great wrongs is much older, as seen in the Teahouse discussion linked above. bonadea contributions talk 07:22, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. The page is a target of MariaJaydHicky sockpuppets (almost all of the last fifty edits of the page were either by socks or by persons reverting socks).

The page was semi-protected for a month in December, and as soon as the protection expired the socks resumed genre warring.

@Anachronist: User:Mukhaiyar who is one of the users reverting the problematic material back into the article, is a "registered user with less than 30 days tenure or fewer than 500 edits" -- specifically they have less than 300 edits at present.

I also ran several offending revisions into toolforge:copyvios ([70][71]) and didn't get many results, and that tool automatically excludes some mirror sites. MusikAnimal talk
@MusikAnimal: I was basing my assumption on this site, which claims a 2015 copyright and has a lot of directly copied info, but after investigating it looks like some of the same material appears on pre-2015 revisions of the page.
