Hi!

Thanks for protecting the Israel–Jordan peace treaty article! However, pages such as these should receive indefinite 30-500 protection per WP:ARBPIA3! A User (contribs) 15:21, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Same comment on the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine article! A User (contribs) 15:32, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Intercommunal conflict in Mandatory Palestine, as well! A User (contribs) 15:33, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Had not read your comments on declined requests. With the ARB motion in place, page protection will do nothing but help the article, since IP addresses and new users aren't allowed to edit at all anyway! Page protection will save time as enforcement by reverting requires that that editors frequently check if the most recent contributior is new and if so revert all of his edits! There are IP addresses on some of these pages, who have contributed since the ARB motion, and have not been reverted! Correct me if I'm wrong! A User (contribs) 15:44, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Just a note that I've cosmetically altered your comments to reflect protection levels here. Best, Airplaneman ✈ 16:59, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
@Yet Another User 2: In my opinion, the pages I didn't protect didn't need protection. They haven't been edited recently by accounts that would be affected by proteection, or indeed by anyone at all in some cases. GedUK  10:45, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

F1 Challenge '99-'02. User 167.61.X(XX).X(XX) (JuanMaMaster) does again persisteng spamming

And just when the EA Sports F1 Series article became unprotected again.

In the Portuguese edition, an user called Francisco Leandro protected the article for 45 days, and then added the F1 Challenge 1988-2014 Facebook page on the blacklist. You can read about it here, but it is in Spanish, my native language.

In Spanish edition, we are approaching this issue considering the next proposal (apart from semiprotecting the article again if it is needed) what I am going to present to you.

This is the page which JuanMaMaster is promoting in Wikipedia since 2013: https://www.facebook.com/F1-Challenge-1988-a-2014-338334839518092/

In the portuguese edition of F1 Challenge '99-'02 article, the link is this: http://f1challenge88-14.wix.com/f1-challengejmm

Maybe JuanMaMaster in a future could use this link for self-promotion: https://www.facebook.com/notes/f1-challenge-1988-a-2014/f1-challenge-1988-2014-edici%C3%B3n-de-plata-2016/1260485133969720

Consider the idea of including these links in a blacklist (apart of semi-protecting the article), if is possible and if you thing that it is neccesary. Because I think that you know better than me how persistent is this user, and how far he comes only for using Wikipedia as a self-promotion webpage, because you involucrated yourself against him in 2013.

That is my proposal.

In my last message about this topic in the Spanish edition, one of my lasts paragrapghs says this:

Si usted (o ustedes) continúan con esto, tanto aquí como en la página inglesa y portuguesa, es porque quieren. This means: If you continue with this (persistent spamming and war editions), here and in the English and Poruguese edition, is because you want.

As you see, they ignored. I asked JuanMaMaster about the purpose of self-promoting (in Spanish Wikipedia), but my questions were ignored, and the answer were more agressive spam and even defamation.

I have deleted JuanMaMaster's spam eleven times in this month. On Wednesday could be the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth.

What is going to be next?

That is all for now about this topic for the moment.

Thank you for reading me, Ged.

@CristianLuisCLX: Hi there. As it's been protected now for another couple of years, there's probably not much point in blacklisting it. It doesn't seem to be appearing anywhere else on En-Wiki. Thanks for bringing it to my attention though. GedUK  11:13, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Ged UK. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

  • Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
  • A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
