Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP immediately resumed edit warring their synthesis into the article after the last protection expired. This categorization has already been rejected on Talk. Crossroads -talk- 22:30, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

I gave a final warning to the IP who keeps reinstating the content (and I see another who has restored it in the past); blocking those two IPs (if they continue edit-warring) should be sufficient. OhNoitsJamie Talk 22:40, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Time series database

Unprotection: Protecting admin User:Beetstra was involved in a content dispute with other editors over inclusion criteria for databases on the list of time series databases in the article. When another editor repeatedly added a database that Beetstra didn't feel was appropriate to add in, Beetstra fully protected the page for six months. [6] [7] He's pretty clearly WP:INVOLVED here so I'm asking that this protection be lifted and an uninvolved administrator determine what, if any, protection level should be applied to the article. Protecting admin declined unprotection request here. [8]. Chess (talk) (please use {{ping|Chess}} on reply) 05:09, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Chess, No, I have consistently performed maintenance and asked for references. Again, references were challenged and another edit war ensued. I have therefore reprotected the page. I will get you the list in a moment. Dirk Beetstra T C 05:35, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
The list (which is actually already years old, and where those without article and no references to show that they are worth mentioning are removed). The latest 'edit war' is here:
Because of this ongoing edit-war of previously discussed and found insufficient sourcing I have re-protected the article to stop these ever continuing edit wars. This article is continuously edited by what I start to suspect are sockpuppets (the number of new accounts and IPs that want TimeScaleDB in that list is massive)
Courtesy pinging: @MrOllie, Kigelim, Paul.wehland, and Meters: from the last set of edits, @GermanJoe: who has been reverting these additions in the past.
I agree, maybe it is time that this is brought to another forum or that we get more admins involved here, the pushing is at least 4 years old. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:54, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Maybe we could consider lowering to extended confirmed, but confirmed does not seem enough. --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:09, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
I'm surprised to see that this article was fully protected, and for six months at that. I'm not familiar with the past history of this article (I believe my only involvement was the last two removals of a DB that had no article, just a bad draft with no independent refs and not even a claim of notability when I looked at it), but it looks like extended confirmed would handle most (maybe all?) of the editors adding challenged material. Dirk Beetstra, I think the issue of whether you are an involved admin here is a valid concern. Over the last four years you have made multiple removals of content, and extensive comments on the talk page about what should be listed. Meters (talk) 10:05, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Meters, I understand the remark regarding 'involved', but I remain that all the reversions are because of spam additions, coi additions, pushing of information without being able to show why it should be included. This is the last year worth of edits (54 edits), this is a block of edits of between August 2016 and September 2018 (212 edits, 79 editors). Both blocks do not substantially change anything in the document (in the 126 edits between September 2018 and August 2019 there was a rewrite of the prose. The article is a continuous attraction for spam, coi edits, and, basically, fancruft.
I agree with the extended confirmed. Dirk Beetstra T C 11:31, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
In this specific case you removed the exact database which you fully protected the article to prevent inclusion of, TimescaleDB. As an aside I believe you should consider not editing the article till some consensus is reached and should use edit requests as someone who's involved. Chess (talk) (please use {{ping|Chess}} on reply) 15:29, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Chess, as did a large number of other editors, and I removed several others. Go through the history. I even allowed the inclusion until someone else challenged the inclusion. No, though I know where you are coming from, I disagree with making this personal and no, these are administrative actions and these are not making me involved. Dirk Beetstra T C 18:11, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

I have lowered the protection level to extended confirmed. --Dirk Beetstra T C 18:31, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

List of cities in Tamil Nadu by population

Extended confirmed protection: The page has been the subject of persistent data vandalism (mostly capricious changes in population numbers—not attempts to reflect more current sources; inaccurate changes to City-Area correspondences; & reorderings of city size) from accounts set up mostly to vandalize Vellore-related articles. (Several related articles are the targets of similar vandalism.) I have been tracking this for a little over a year. The page has been semi-protected twice, most recently for a month in late 2019. The majority of edits since that time have been vandalism, reverted by myself or other editors. Looking through the changes log, it seems to me that this vandalism has been recurring since 2014. As this page is based on the 2011 Indian census and a new census will not happen until next year, there is unlikely to be much need for uncomfirmed users to update this until late 2021.

Vaishno Devi

Extended-confirmed protection: An autoconfirmed user is changing the content of the article unnecessarily. Vaishno Devi is an article about a Hindu goddess. The article used to share information about a temple of the same name. Later, an article "Vaishno Devi Temple" was created and the information about the temple was shifted there. That user is bringing the content of the temple back into the article about the goddess, which is creating confusion.

I suspect the users want to protected the article due to persistent vandalism from IP users.

General public edits are with good intent with valid reason to remove libel that misquotes source. Page protection is supposed to be for vandalism but fixing a sentence to clearly reflect the source is absolutely not vandalism; just the opposite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.127.124.151 (talk) 01:45, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

It was discussed on the Talk page (see comment by AccuracyFix) however the editor Neutrality went so far as to even cross out the comment in the Talk page, and to re-insert libelous content that does not reflect the source.

High risk templates, IAR ECP protected

Was doing some template category housekeeping and came across these. Group of templates which are either WP:HRTs with IAR ECP protection, likely originally to help a non-TE work on them, but don't appear to have (in the last year) a non-TE editor edit them actively (and, even if they did, imo said editor should just be encouraged to request TE & likely given it if they can handle HRTs). Overuse of ECP on templates kinda beats the IAR part imo. Few exceptions for where it seemed appropriate, so I've omitted them from the list (as well as any DS usages or vandalism from autoconfirmed). For the data templates, they're pretty infrequently edited, so TPERs for them seem suitable as standard. One or two low-usage templates which are pre-emptive ECP protections, which was rejected by RfC. Thoughts on fixing their protections? I've given a suggestion for each. Ping protecting admins: Primefac, Ymblanter, Lectonar, MSGJ, Xaosflux, ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 22:39, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

whoops, forgot Johnuniq. In hindsight, I probably should've put your pings next to each template for ease of access... ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 22:44, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
Template:Blocked user can be reduced to semi as far as I am concerned. Can not be unprotected due to a long history of disruptive edits.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:49, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
Upgraded to TE for those as marked, as I agree. Primefac (talk) 23:28, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
I'm not researching all of these if you have a question about one - ask me about the specific one. "Overuse of ECP on templates " is a bit of a stretch, this is a minuscule list compared to all templates - and the IAR policy is well supported for edge cases of most anything. — xaosflux Talk 23:47, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
I tagged you as the protecting admin for {{Country data Iowa}} but that's been sorted now. I'd say it's overuse when the use is not appropriate, I don't think the majority of these were special in any regard to (still) be treated as edge cases. Certainly, such cases exist, and I omitted the ones I thought met that criteria.
The remaining ones are actually for a decrease in protection level, which I guess is why Primefac hasn't touched them, so they need the protecting admin to look at them. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 10:49, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Summarising the remaining ones with a ping to protecting admin, for ease of access amongst the clutter above:

  • Template:Medical cases chart (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) -> semiprotection. @Johnuniq:
  • Template:Gong (band) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) -> semi would've been suitable then, but none probably now? @Fish and karate:
  • Template:DYKproblem (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) -> semi or TE? @MSGJ:
  • Template:WikidataOI (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) -> @Primefac: (protection reason given was to match module; looks like the module is the generic Module:Wd currently at TE, although this template has 1k transclusions, either/or seems fine to me?).
  • Automated comment: This user who requested protection has been blocked.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 22:01, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
  • The three Template:Medical pages are edit and move ECP protected. The respective transclusion counts are 371, 334, 670. If someone wants to decrease them to semi-protection, please do so. I would prefer firmer guidelines but in their absence, I see no reason why someone under 500/30 should be encouraged to edit templates with hundreds of transclusions. I don't see any edit requests on the (single) talk page apart from feature suggestions. The time to decrease the protection would be when new editors put helpful changes in the sandbox. Johnuniq (talk) 04:41, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
    I'd challenge that personally. The guideline would be WP:HRT, particularly Note that a bot automatically template-protects pages with over 5000 transclusions and semi-protects pages with over 500 transclusions and that a 2018 RFC identified rough consensus to permanently semiprotect templates with at least around 200-250 transclusions. It's policy to semi-protect for hundreds of transclusions, the numbers you cite aren't really extreme. It is explicitly rejected to pre-emptively or routinely EC-protect templates, and while there are such valid protections on a case-by-case basis, transclusion count alone should not cause rejection of semiprotection and EC-protection instead. I quote There is a clear consensus against using extended confirmed protection preemptively on high-risk templates. This leaves full protection, template editor protection and semiprotection as the three common protection levels, while extended confirmed protection can still be used when Arbcom specifies a 30/500 remedy, or when semiprotection has proven ineffective. After all, it's completely wrong to think that having 500/30 makes one automatically more likely to know more about templates. There is no evidence of disruption here, or wider disruption in the template namespace when semis are used, and I would further note as an example that the entire {{Gs}} system of templates was unprotected for years and had no disruption (although this does meet WP:HRT and thus is protected which I agree with, but the point is true nevertheless). Aside from HRT and the RFC, I guess we also have WP:NO-PREEMPT here. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 12:21, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Sammy the Shunter

Move-protection: Following an AfD, it was decided that the article would be better repurposed as a biography of the books' author Eileen Gibb. Discussion has been raised at talk re how best to go against this, noting that current COVID-19 restrictions mean this is not going to be achieved as fast as is would otherwise be. Requesting move protection to prevent a move of the article until it is in a fit state be be a biographical article. As an admin, I could do this myself, but am WP:INVOLVED in what could potentially be considered a dispute over moving the article. Hence this request. Please note that this is not an attempt to prevent the article being ever moved, or to override the consensus of the AfD discussion. I accept the result of the discussion and will work to achieve the result of that. Once the article has been rewriten, I am prepared to move it myself. Mjroots (talk) 09:52, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

2020 NBA Bubble

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Page history has shown repeated instances of vandalism. The last two edits (prior to my latest undo) had a racist edit with an unregistered user changing the league's name to either "blacks fly high" or "fairy tall blacks" in Spanish (I'm not sure what the proper translation is as I'm not a Spanish speaker). Another, changed the caption to call it the "bubblehead" games, a made-up term that is not a part of this topic.

As the NBA and its bubble play have been the focus of attention in sports and social justice, temporary protection for this page is necessary to spare it from vandals until, at the very least, the end of the playoffs and the bubble play. Further, this page is somewhat shoddy, in regard to some details and overall composition and vandalism will surely hinder the progress being made on this in-development* page.

Boycotts of Chinese products

Long-term temporary semi-protection or pending changes protection - some IPs have been repeatedly adding lies and vandalising the page for various reasons including to promote a pro-Pakistan and anti-India POV without any sources (India is a state sponsor of terrorism? Presumably Pakistani vandals), to screw up the page formatting and to add spam. While semi-protection will stop me from contributing to that page, I'd rather be unable to improve the page directly (I can still use edit requests) than see vandals add anti-India narrative and spam to a page I have been regularly updating, being an Indian. 45.251.33.78 (talk) 10:47, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

  • I see a good faith but flawed attempt to add useful information which in fact has reliable sources. I added it with good sources to the lead, saying I wasn't sure where to put it and I didn't mind it being removed, and 1Kwords simply removed it. I've reinstated it in its own section. The article has enough watchers to deal with actual vandalism. Doug Weller talk 18:03, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
Note: @Doug Weller: I took a look at the page history and there is a pattern of disruptive editing going back years depsite multiple previous protections. Given the subject, I am not surprised. Under the circumstances and with an eye on the long term page history, I am wondering if a lengthy page protection might not be in order. That said, I will defer to your judgement. Ad Orientem (talk) 19:16, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Ok, I thought it was under control. Doug Weller talk 19:25, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
Islam-related articles are routinely semi-protected due to the disruption they seem to attract; several have indef-semi, and Muhammad has indef ECP. However, if this particular article is experiencing good-faith attempts at constructive editing, we should hold off on protection, at least for today. I agree, though, looking in the history, it appears that the proportion of constructive to nonconstructive edits from anonymous IP addresses is so close to zero that indefinite semi-protection is warranted. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:27, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Your accusations are baseless, you were reverted by two different editors due to adding WP:UGC. Once by me and the second time by Favre1fan93. — YoungForever(talk) 20:46, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
Agreed. Per WP:UGC, we do not link to audience polls/consensus on sites such as Rotten Tomatoes, as you've attempted to add. This is addressed by a hidden note in the article which you ignored. We can not simply add user information without any commentary discussing that information. You did not do that, hence being reverted by myself and YoungForever. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:15, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
I made it clear that you were trying to serve an agenda, your rage here hasn't disproven that. WP:UGC says to not use user generated content. Rotten Tomatoes doesn't meet that criteria. Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Film#Audience_response and Wikipedia_talk:Review_aggregators#Audience_reviews explicitly state that audience reviews, especially when noteworthy compared to critical reviews is allowed. 80% v 13% certainly meets that criteria. Your attempts to hide valid information in order to manipulate the conversation are transparent. Let the administrators decide. 70.176.125.205 (talk) 22:49, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
What part of Do not include user ratings submitted to websites such as the Internet Movie Database, Metacritic, or Rotten Tomatoes, as they are vulnerable to vote stacking and demographic skew. you don't seemed to understand? Audience ratings/reviews directly from Rotten Tomatoes is considered to be WP:UGC. Audience ratings/reviews are allowed when the audience reception was commented on by reliable source. This isn't the case here at all because no actual reliable sources are reporting that.— YoungForever(talk) 23:01, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
Your personal notes don't override Wikipedia's Manual of Style. I could post a note on any article. It doesn't mean people have to do what I say. Drop the fervor. Wikipedia is supposed to be a place that shares unbiased information, you are a direct affront to that. 70.176.125.205 (talk) 23:04, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
This isn't a film. MOS:TVRECEPTION and WP:UGC clearly state audience ratings/review/fan polls are not acceptable. Yet, you are clearly add your WP:SYNTH from MOS:FILM#Audience response and Wikipedia talk:Review aggregators#Audience reviews. — YoungForever(talk) 23:14, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
MOS:TVRECEPTION: "Review aggregation websites such as Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic are citable for data pertaining to the ratio of positive to negative reviews" Nothing in there differentiates between audience and critical reviews. WP:UGC: Nothing to do with this topic. "Sites with user-generated content include personal websites, personal and group blogs (excluding newspaper and magazine blogs), content farms, Internet forums, social media sites, video and image hosting services, most wikis, and other collaboratively created websites." Does not include Rotten Tomatoes, obv. If it did, you couldn't site it as a source either. Also, that's not what WP:SYNTH is either. "If one reliable source says A, and another reliable source says B, do not join A and B together to imply a conclusion C that is not mentioned by either of the sources." These are both from the same source. It isn't unrelated information. I think you know you are intentionally trying to manipulate information to make it seem like you aren't at fault. You are. You are intentionally brigading and manipulating stats to feed an agenda while suppressing factual information from valid sources. 70.176.125.205 (talk) 00:09, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
Yet, you have completely ignored this part Be careful when searching for reviews, and make sure they are coming from professional reviewers, and not simply a fan of the series. Are audience ratings/reviewers professional reviewers? Definitely not. On WP:UGC, Although review aggregators (such as Rotten Tomatoes) may be reliable, their audience ratings based on the reviews of their users are not. — YoungForever(talk) 00:19, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

I dont think that is a fair explenation El_C.

Leechjoel9 (talk) 07:19, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection and move protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Semi-protection is not enough to combat the unsourced claims of a company name change, which now includes page moves. Jalen Folf (talk) 11:37, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

  • I have started a requested move discussion in the meantime for this subject. Jalen Folf (talk) 12:26, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
    •  Question:  : JalenFolf, I see that this is likely a content dispute and not distruptive editing because all users were involved in edit warring over naming the company in Albania. So, why not fully edit protected this page and take the discuss over naming changes into talk page. 180.249.244.242 (talk) 14:05, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
      • Withdrawn per IP comment and a source provided by one of the users involved in the dispute. The requested move discussion also seems to be keeping the unsourced moves at bay for now, but I encourage any uninvolved editor to re-request if this flares up again without a consensus.

Pending changes protection: High level of IP vandalism. I've already requested for a "Semi-protection" but the request was rejected, so now I'm asking for a different type of protection. Meanwhile, the anonymous vandal who's been disrupting the page during the last months is going on doing the same things using very different IP ranges, we can either hope that sooner or later he gets tired or add a protection to the page for some months and prevent anonymous from editing it. Note that in over a year the vandal was the only anonymous who edited it, so a protection wouldn't actually create collateral damage. 151.21.71.107 (talk) 06:59, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Comment I report two IPs (42.189.119.175 and 2600:1700:B7E0:D5B0:A4F4:CCC3:D432:7BDB) to AIV for their vandalism. I also watch this article. If anyone vandalize, whenever IP or users, I also want to report that. 180.249.244.242 (talk) 13:21, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. Bit of an edit conflict with the editor above, but there are IPs who are working to revert vandalism. I've partially blocked two editors and full-blocked the vagrant IP (and am now watching the article) so hopefully that will calm things down temporarily. If it gets back out of hand I'll likely set to ECP. Primefac (talk) 13:34, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
@Primefac: Oh, ah, I found the article's history via AIV, semi-protected the page for 2 weeks to prevent similar disruption from continuing, since it's clearly not limited to a small number of problematic users, and was about to check if someone had requested this action, to mark the request as "done". I didn't expect a declined request to exist. That said, if you consider ECP, having tried semi-protection before is probably a good idea, so I'll keep the protection for now. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:09, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: BLP policy violations – The subject, Frank Leskaj, is an active contributor—if not the most active contributor—to this article, editing through dynamic IPs. Demonstrating their ignorance of Wikipedia policy, the user has admitted to violating WP:OWNERSHIP as well as WP:AUTO. To protect the article from COI edits made by an IP user, extended confirmed protection seems warranted. Jay D. Easy (t • c) 21:42, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

 Question: @Jay D. Easy: i see that there are more likely a content dispute than just BLP violation, so why not temporaily fully protected the page, or take the issue into talk page? If there was a IP involve in vandalism, i will report that in AIV 180.249.244.242 (talk) 22:09, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Other than a handful of edits today, there was one on September 11, and then you have to go back to May to find the next edits.

Caste warfare bullshit full of personal attacks. It's an edit war. Discuss
}

Fylindfotberserk is a Brahmin Nazi. Pushing his Brahmin=Aryan nonsense on Wiki. Neil Nitin Mukesh is a fair skinned Indian so he wants to make him appear as if he is a fair skinned Brhamin so he can push his Brahmin=Aryan nonsense. One look at his profile tells that he is obsessed with genetics, whiteness and has some type of Nazi supremacist type ideology.

Let's go through his name “Fylindfotberserk” first. Fylfot is an Anglo-Saxon swastika, while Berserk were Norse people. He has posted cherry picked “studies” and “genetic data” which show Brahmins as having high R1a1 DNA. Apparently, having high “R1a1” DNA makes someone more “Aryan" than others. He describes his ethnicity as *“Indo-Aryan (with some historical Mlechcha Indo-Scythian)”.

Here is another interesting thread. This one is about the state of Bihar. This user has placed Bihar as part of East India and his reasoning for it is based on racial reasons. In this thread, they act as if different castes are different races or something even though no one can tell them apart. Talk:North India - Wikipedia (http://en.m.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:North_India#Why_people_here_have_so_much_anti-Bihar_sentiments%3F)

Some key points made by this user Fylindfotberserk. "Moreover Bengalis have ~40% R1a1a Y-DNA while Bengali Brahmins have it at HIghest 72%. If you go by that logic, you know what R1a stands for." —*Fylindfotberserk*

These are cherry picked studies. People get different results from different DNA testing facilities and it is also based on statistical analysis and crap like that which is based on sample size. "For your Information, my forefathers migrated from Kashmir Valley and settled in Bengal, then in North East India." I guess he also wishes he were a Kashmiri. "fairest are the Semitic types and this look is highest among us Kasmiris. " "US KASHMIRIS" So, not only he wants to be Nordic, Anglo-Saxon, Scythian but also a Semite.

No amount of studies can prove that one group is more "Aryan" than the other. If they test some 100 hundred people or even 10,000 people then they don't even represent 1% of any community in India, which has a population of over 1 billion people.

This guy Fylindfotberserk has submitted cherry picked studies on Wiki which show Bengali Brahmins as having highest R1a1 DNA because he himself is a Bengali Brahmin and a Nazi/Aryan Supremacist with too much time on his hands.

He literally believes in long debunked outdated Nazi race science. All Indians of all castes have both fair and dark people. Brahmins are not lighter than other castes.

You can also find his name here. http://en.m.wiki.x.io/wiki/Category:Brahmin_Wikipedians

He is obsessed with placing Brahmin first because that's the first thing someone will see when someone Googles his name.

- comment from uninvolved editor Users seem to be involved in an edit war and there's little/no evidence of engaging in a discussion between either editors.

@Lil-unique1: I believe the IP is blocked sock puppeteer User:Karkanistan. If you check the Talk:Neil Nitin Mukesh you can see their older POV push to remove Gujarati from the article, despite the subject of the article and his father confirming it. I also don't believe how all these accusation of me being a Nazi, my profile and ethnicity (I'm a Kashmiri Pandit from Ludhiana settled in eastern India) has anything to do with the subject matter at hand. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:42, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Your posting history clearly shows you are obsessed with genetics, skin tones and phenotypes, which is a long debunked Nazi pseudoscience. There is no "Dinaric" or "Alpine" or "proto-Nordic" as you talk in that thread. This is all debunked scientific racism. Nazis started measuring skulls, facial features and putting people in categories. http://en.m.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:North_India#Why_people_here_have_so_much_anti-Bihar_sentiments%3F

Your profile is filled with genetic data about Brahmins and we can see how you boast of your fair skin on that Talk:North India thread. Why do you describe yourself as an "Indo-Aryan with some historical Mlechcha Indo-Scythian"? Brahmins are not lighter than other castes, let me remind you. No one can tell a person's caste or the state they come from based on their looks. I am not an experienced editor. But you have pushed your Brahmin=Aryan Nazi agenda all over Wiki.

List of video games considered the best

Semi-protection: Persistent non-policy-compliant edits to a page with very strict sourcing criteria. This page is essentially a honeypot for casual IP address editors to add their favorite game. Article was semi-protected for a year by Courcelles in 2018, then for a year by Sergecross73 in 2019, and since the last year-long semi-protection expired, nothing but unproductive edits have piled up in the intervening month. See Talk:List_of_video_games_considered_the_best#Interesting_note_on_revision_history and https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=List+of+video+games+considered+the+best . Think this page will never be safe to have not semi-protected, hence asking for indefinite rather than another year. SnowFire (talk) 19:55, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Lady A (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism.

Numerous anonymous ips are making numerous "minor" edits over and over and running this article pushing a pov one sided view of the current name change case. Can the page be protected for a while until this does down a little, before being completely forgotten please? Plus, in the leade really?

Mark Steketee

Semi-protection: This page has been protected six times since October 2018, due to the same IP-jumping editor re-adding unsourced content to the BLP. They've returned again to continue with this disruption. Note the last log was for a one year stint. They also like to blank the talkpage too. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:07, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

I was about to add the same request. I would strongly suggest the article talk page be protected for a short period as well. The same editor (using IP hops) has exhibited the same behaviour in the past on other articles. Blue Square Thing (talk) 17:14, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Instead of protection, how about a long-term partial block of 1.128.0.0/11 from editing both this article and its talk page? Jackmcbarn (talk) 17:24, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Oh yes, didn't think of that. Good idea. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:29, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Although annoyingly, for technical reasons, that would have to be implemented as 32 individual partial rangeblocks of 1.128.0.0/16 through 1.159.0.0/16. Jackmcbarn (talk) 17:32, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
I suspect the range block would be far too wide to be acceptable - it's a dynamic IP hopper, so if we block a range they will simply pop up someplace else - unless we tried to block everything fro 1.129 up - which strikes me as far too wide a range. The protection at Nathan Coulter-Nile has been successful in stopping the endless vandalism of the sort we're currently experiencing at Steketee.

@El C: You ECP edit protected two of these (and ECP move protected Sushant Singh Rajput). Do you have an opinion on this request? I don't see any attempt to move the other two articles so am not inclined to preemptively protect, but would be fine with that if severe problems are likely. Is WP:ARBIPA applicable? Johnuniq (talk) 10:12, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Johnuniq, ARBBLP would be more applicable, I think, but ARBIPA, too. I don't recall any disruptive moves for any of these pages. I suppose disruptive moves of Death of Sushant Singh Rajput are within the realm of possibility, with ones for Rhea Chakraborty being far less likely. I have move protected Death of Sushant Singh Rajput at admin level due to its sensitive nature, which by definition precludes bold moves — only move requests would be appropriate for that page. I have opted to take no action at the Rhea Chakraborty page at this time. Sushant Singh Rajput is already move protected, so its mention is redundant in this request. El_C 17:21, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: A lot of disruptive editing and/or vandalism on this page. If you look at the page's history you will see a number of big edits (vadalism) reverted to the original. Sometimes 'vandalism' is used in the edit summary. Especially IP user 176.74.124.9 does a lot of disprutive editing, but there are several other IP users who vandalise the page. This especially happens under heading level 2 "Contestant progress", which is updated every week, since there is a new episode of the show every week.

Macrophilia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection (preferably on the longer side): Recent meatpuppetry going on at this article, which usually gets little to no traction. See what is stated here and here. The case for sticking to what the sources state and with WP:Due weight has been made on the talk page by three different experienced editors (me included), but we are being overwhelmed by obvious meatpuppets. A WP:CheckUser already looked into socking. Otherwise, I would state that there are multiple socks there. On the socking front, there is now an IP there making edits against consensus; this is very likely a logged-out editor. If semi-protection does not work, the article will likely need full-protection for a few days. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 21:43, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Identical edit has occurred since at least June 2016 from various IPs - some of which have been blocked in past, (e.g.[51], [52]) for persistently inserting and then un-reverting this unsourced nonsense, and some not, (e.g. [53], [54]).

Despite trying to quickly revert the edit over last week or two, as many others have done in the recent past, it is soon replaced.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – There are several IPs (probably all the same user) which since 2017 wants to exchange the weather data. The IP doesn't reply at the talk page where a weather discussion is open since April 2020. The edits are reverted by several users. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 12:19, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It's not worth semi-protecting the article just because of one editor's obsessive behaviour.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated removal of large blocks of content by an IP hopper, despite explanations that this content has largely already been discussed at length and was edited heavily on connection with those discussions, and that therefore the editor needs to wait for others to weigh in and get consensus for reversing the outcome of previous discussions.

Why do you think that the template editor protecion is not sufficient?--Ymblanter (talk) 06:40, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
For the same reason that template editors are not allowed to edit the MediaWiki namespace, they should not be allowed to edit templates transcluded in the MediaWiki namespace. Besides, Template:Submit an edit request was fully protected in 2017 due to being used in the MediaWiki namespace. Template:Submit an edit request/link wasn't used in the MediaWiki namespace at the time, so it wasn't protected, but now that it is used in the interface, the same reasoning that led to Template:Submit an edit request being fully protected then applies to Template:Submit an edit request/link. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:53, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Sushant Singh Rajput

Temporary semi-protection - We're getting a rash of repetitive edit requests for the article as of late, triggered by what seems to be complaints about the article on Twitter. I wouldn't ordinarily deem this a problem, but we're seeing a lot of activity from drive-by accounts who're unable/unwilling to read literally anything else on the page and the requests all pretty much demand the same thing, varying only in what they want to replace it with (one option of which is a conspiracy theory). Since the requests are unlikely at best to be actioned with anything other than {{nd}} and they're pretty much choking out other discussions on the page, I'm requesting semi-protection. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Hasteur Hasteur Ha-- oh.... 23:45, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

@Jackmcbarn: If you think the page should be protected, go for it. My worry with protecting front page content is always collateral damage since lots of readers means lots of potential new editors. Last I saw, the vandalism wasn't out of hand, but I'm on mobile at the moment and can't check easily.

Declined. Attempts to expand this from a redirect to a full list have been going on since January 2019. The edit summaries here and here suggest that the reasons for restricting this to a redirect no longer exist. There is no discussion on the talk page.

Agreed. Adding semi-protection by way of confirming edits of IPs and unregistered users is pratically the same as not protecting the page. Please change it. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 01:08, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Tax returns of Donald Trump

Extended confirmed protection Subject's page is already under Extended Confirmed protection. Subject's major political opponent is under Extended Confirmed protection. Article is being frequently vandalized, along with non-sensical edits. Rklahn (talk) 02:39, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

  • Non-admin comment I see the article was already semi-protected. So for me semi-protection would be enough to prevent vandalism from IP users, so if IP or users vandalize the article, i will report that to AIV to be warned. I think you need to requesting impose indefinite 1RR for that article. 36.68.187.70 (talk) 03:20, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
Requestor comment Im not sure of the rules of engagement here, so I'll keep this brief. I disagree with 36.68.187.70 here, and responded at length on this topic at my talk page. In short, I believe semi is not enough, and ECP is appropriate in this case, for reasons already stated. Rklahn (talk) 05:24, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Persistent violations of WP:A/I/PIA, with few other constructive contributions by non-extended-confirmed users.

Vikas Bhalla

Indefinite semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Vandalised television appearances in Indian actor's article and vandalised cast addition of actors in Indian television series articles whom never entered the series and also sometimes few other vandalised edits. Despite, I reverted few days ago, it is keeping on added. Not only this IP, i found different IPs retrieve it again after revertion through edit history of the article. While I try tracking the IPs, the vandalised articles keep on increasing under different IPs with same disruption. Regarding which some vandalised IP contributions which i found were :[67], [68], [69], [70], [71], [72], [73], [74], [75], [76]. As traced from those article's history before and after revertions many more similar vandalisms by different IPs has happened related to cast and actor's television appearances.

Firstly I reported this at Administrator intervention against vandalism, [77] where i was asked to request page protection here instead of blocking each IP. Noobie anonymous (talk) 12:09, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Sorry, but the most recent edit to the article was September 9. Before that there were widely spread out problem edits which can be dealt with through normal page watching.  MelanieN (talk) 01:03, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

To first Q, no, plan was to move it before I sync the sandbox. I'm fine with moving it now (protections are moved over, so I wasn't sure if order of move-before-prot would matter). Also, just to clarify, requesting TE prot, not full, fwiw -- Twinkle just doesn't give options for TE whilst in userspace. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 03:59, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Declined and courtesy ping Materialscientist. While no edit summaries have been provided for the removals, they appear to be correct. The page indicates it lists cities with a population over 100,000, the source is a list of cities with a population over 1 lakh (100,000), and the towns that were removed from the list have populations below 100,000 and furthermore do not appear in that source (so their populations are unsourced to boot). If there is a desire to change the definition of the list, that is a matter for the talk page, and a new source will be needed. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:14, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Not unprotected. This article/draft has had a very controversial existence, from being deleted and redirected, not overturned three times at deletion review, and being declined three times as a draft. I see it's been significantly expanded since the last decline, but I don't want this to be seen as an end-run around AFC, so please resubmit. If the draft is accepted then make a new request. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:39, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
My concern is that this full protection is being used in an inappropriate way, against the spirit of the AFC process and against the spirit of full protection. As described at WP:AFC, AFC is meant to be a special pathway to article creation for unregistered and new editors. AFC is not meant to prevent experienced registered editors from creating articles in mainspace without AFC review - and there are several experienced editors who want to move this draft article to mainspace. WP:PROTECT describes protection as being appropriate when there is "a specifically identified likelihood of damage resulting if editing is left open". There's no threat of vandalism, edit wars, or other damage here - from what I've seen here, everyone involved in this discussion is being civil and making efforts to interpret policy in constructive ways.

Secret City (book)

unprotection This page has been protected because of ongoing controversies over Polish-Jewish relations during the Second World War. I am the author of this book, and the page was created and has been edited by partisans in those controversies who completely misrepresent its nature purpose of the book. It was never intended as a contribution to those controversies: it is a social history of the underground community of Jews hiding "on the Aryan side" in Warsaw, and not about the actions and attitudes of the Polish population towards those Jews. It does have implications for those controversies, but not the ones that the creator/editors think it does. The entire page as it stands is so wrongheaded and misleading that it cannot be fixed by some edits: it simply puts the book in the wrong category. It belongs in the categories of Jewish History, History of the Polish Jews, the Holocaust, Jewish responses to the Holocaust and others, but definitely not Polish-Jewish relations. By analogy: in the 1960s, the American Civil Rights Movement was often characterized as a struggle between northern white liberals and southern white racists, almost ignoring the role of Black people themselves. Now a Black author writes a book about that movement from the Black perspective, including interactions between Black people and southerners of various kinds. Southern white racists pick out passages that speak positively of those relations and misinterpret the author's actual findings as if they justified their views. Then northern white liberals denounce the book as a defense of racism. Literally black and white, no nuance, no understanding of the issues, based on misreading, partial reading or just hearsay. I would like to recreate this page, explaining the intent and purpose of the book and commenting on its reception. Gspaulsson (talk) 18:59, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Declined – The protection is only WP:ECP, which prevents edits by users with less than 500 edits. Consider making your case for changing the article at Talk:Secret City (book). The original protecting admin was User:TonyBallioni. He issued his protection under arbitration enforcement, so it requires a process to lift. The {{Edit extended-protected}} template is available for your use on the talk page to propose any specific change that you want. I find it hard to follow your above complaint, because the present content of the article looks reasonable. The book itself sounds interesting. Note that our WP:COI policy applies to you as the book's author. EdJohnston (talk) 23:47, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Not done This gets recreated when an article gets reverted back to a version that's still in this category. SALTing it would result in said article then showing up in a redlinked category to readers. Jackmcbarn (talk) 13:57, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

@ImYourTurboLover: Question: Which users who have edited that page are sockpuppets? Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:20, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
Declined, the article is already extended confirmed protected and placed under arbitration enforcement. If there are any extended confirmed socks editing the article they should be dealt with individually.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:10, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Since the inception of this article created by a UPE editor who has now been blocked, it has continued to suffer from edits from obvious sockpuppets who have been doing so for a long while now. A quick review of the article’s history shows editors who are barely a day old making subtle “promotional edits” to the article every now & again. This has to stop.

Theresa Greenfield

Remove full protection: Re-requesting (previous request is at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive#Theresa Greenfield); a draft, at Draft:Theresa Greenfield, has been submitted at AfC, and I am a neutral 3rd-party AfC reviewer who would like accept the article (this request is not an end-run around the AfC process, nor was the first one). As I said over at Talk:Theresa Greenfield I don't have a dog in this fight: the only 2 edits I have made to the draft are 1) to add the {{draft article}} template to it and 2) mark it as under review (current version). I am only trying to help other editors (who seem to me to be quite competent) follow the correct process to get what now looks like pretty high quality, and 100% suitable content into the encyclopedia, like I have done with all the other AfC's I have accepted in the past. (will probably use pageswap for acceptance since the rdr has significant history and talkpage history.) Unprotect also requested from protecting admin. Pinging @Ivanvector:. UnitedStatesian (talk) 18:39, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Declined - see Draft talk:Theresa Greenfield. I now have two AFC reviewers declining and one accepting. Might I suggest putting this question before a wider audience? WP:BLPN might be able to help. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:55, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
Now what do you need, unanimity? I think WP:AfD, after the article is created, would be the better forum. That's where I take articles whenever an AfC reviewer accepts an article that I do not think a worthy subject of the encyclopedia. I can not recall inclusion of a draft ever being discussed at WP:BLPN: focused almost entirely on defamation/vandalism (neither of which is an issue here AFAICT). UnitedStatesian (talk) 18:59, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
UnitedStatesian, you "don't have a dog in this fight"? Your previous talk page comments make clear that you do. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:00, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
Sorry, was just trying to convey that I was neither an editor of the draft nor a participant in its AfD/DRVs, only an AfC reviewer, with all my various requests resulting solely from that role. Metaphor failed me in this case. UnitedStatesian (talk) 21:55, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Multiple IPs making the same, identical change to birthdate without explanation or sourcing ([83] [84] [85] [86] [87]). Requesting indefinite semi-protection (or pending changes) as it seems to be a restart of a 10-year edit warring over the issue as discussed on the talk page (September 2010, September/October 2010, and February 2012). – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 00:07, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Template:Rail pass box/sandbox

Unprotection: Sandboxes should not be protected. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:58, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Ping MusikAnimal - do you know what would have triggered the bot to do this? The main template was TE-protected in 2018 but that protection hasn't been modified. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:30, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
@Ivanvector: It must have been transcluded somewhere that caused it to have a total transclusion count > 500. That is no longer the case, so protection can be lifted and the bot shouldn't re-protect it. — MusikAnimal talk 19:47, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
Unprotected per above. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:59, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
@Ivanvector: @Pppery: Why do we even have a /sandbox subpage from a template? Wouldn't that be better off being deleted per WP:G6? ~Anachronist (talk) 22:45, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
@Anachronist: No? What's wrong with that template having a sandbox? Most templates do. Jackmcbarn (talk) 22:49, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
