Bogus RFPP reports

edit

Regarding this report; that article hasn't had a vandalism revert since July. Please don't use RFPP unless you understand our WP:PROTECTION policy. OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:23, 17 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

This is not true It's unfortunate my good faith efforts have been labeled as bogus: I made it in good faith, applying the policy as written; I created a report because the last IP edits have been Silly vandalism, as in Wikipedia:Vandalism. I have fully read Wikipedia:PROTECTION, and the criteria for semi-protection:

All or almost all the vandalism is coming from IP addresses. (Yes)
Unregistered editors should be making very few quality contributions to the article compared to the amount of vandalism coming from unregistered editors (Yes)
There are regularly many new vandals (Yes)

Articles about kids toys are prone to vandalism, specially this one.

By the way, Wikipedia:Protection_policy should be clearer about the time frame: I looked at the last few edits and found significant Silly vandalism, even though not in the last few months. NiceWikiEditor5 (talk) 18:48, 17 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
If you think we should protect an article that was last vandalized three months ago, that indicates to me that you don't understand our policy yet. OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:56, 17 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
I assumed just look at the last few edits was enough. I now know to account for the time frame. Thank you. NiceWikiEditor5 (talk) 23:26, 17 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
