This may become a concern, but not yet. Ymblaner is correct, we shouldn't preemptively protect this. I and another administrator have been keeping an eye on the Ghomeshi article, I will encourage him to do same at this one.--kelapstick(bainuu) 12:30, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection : Subject is currently receiving heavy play on UFO conspiracy blogs. In the last 24 hours 6 different IP editors have engaged in dubious edits, such as inserting non-RS sources and deleting RS referenced information that is critical of the thesis of subject of article (i.e. he flew in a spaceship with ETs and took photos of Earth with a disposable camera).

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Hi, I'm requesting 14-30 day protection. Article has been repeatedly vandalized by a number of New York based IPs, typically in the 74.* range, for example in these 16 edits from October 22, or these 3 edits from October 13. User is hopping IPs, which makes blocking difficult. Since they've been at this for a couple of weeks without indication of stopping, I'm proposing a block between 14-30 days to hopefully dissuade future disruption. Thanks.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated vandalism by socks of indefinitely blocked vandal David Beals ("the ceiling fan man"; adding links to Youtube-videos of "Hunter Infiniti" ceiling videos on the article abut the car marque Infiniti). The latest named sock was Fjfjfjfjkkj while the latest sock is an IP in a mobile network, making it very easy for Beals to switch IP. Thomas.W talk 19:59, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Long-standing indefinite semi-protection was recently removed, and almost immediately, POV issues and possible vandalism-like edits started happening from IP editors. It would probably be best to give this article at least pending changes so that the IP edits can be reviewed prior to becoming live on the site. Steel1943 (talk) 15:21, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite full protection: An editor continues to restore material that is unreferenced. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:21, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined, There are many ways to deal with this, indefinite full protection is not one of them. This also seems to be discussed at a number of venues, including ANI. kelapstick(bainuu) 16:46, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Should this list for ClueBot NG be protected? The AngryOptin list would be useless if anyone could add & remove items from it, since its purpose is to prevent vandalism. (This list is to allow ClueBot to revert pages listed here in angry mode, that is, it will revert any vandalism regardless as to whether it has reverted vandalism there before.). Tony Tan98 · talk 13:09, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Looks like there's but but a single edit from an unconfirmed user since the page was first created. So on the one hand we have little evidence that we should be concerned, but furthermore I suppose it's only fair to allow registered but unconfirmed users to list their userpages as well. Lastly, I see that User:ClueBot/Sandbox has been listed by one of the bot operators, which leads me to believe as a subpage of User:ClueBot the bot itself is also watching AngryOptin for vandalism, but that's only a theory. — MusikAnimal talk 17:26, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Extend pending changes: protecting administrator inactive. One vandalism this month; there still has been on-and-off vandalism. --George Ho (talk) 08:57, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. As you say, two unconstructive edits, one possibly made in good-faith, in the past two months. Neither are BLP violations. — MusikAnimal talk 17:32, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. High traffic article. Was last protected on 30 September but vandals returned after it expired. No constructive edits since then from IPs. Since then gnomes have added one sentence and one category. All the rest of the edits have been IP vandalism and consequent reversions by page watchers, and one reversion by the ClueBot.

Semi-protection: IP editors are adding names to the list without proper sourcing, leading to WP:BLP issues. This article was previously semi-protected for the same reason for a week, but the IPs simply outwaited the protection, then went back to restoring the identical material, so I'm hoping for a longer period of protection this time.Jayjg (talk) 18:31, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: There's a discussing about the name of the article taking place on the talk page, but some IPs seem unable to wait until the discussion is over, so could we please have temporary semi-protection for a week or two? The article has full move protection, and has had so for a long time, so the IPs can't move the article to whatever their preferred version is, but even if they can only change between Bangalore and Bengaluru in the article the repeated changes back and forth are disruptive.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Article keeps getting vandalized by New York based IPs typically in the 74.* range, for example here where 74.108.84.18 re-adds unsourced future events that were previously deleted after being added by 74.108.89.31 here and here and here.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Per previous request:

Article has long been subject to persistent vandalism. It has been semi-protected several times before for increasing periods: on 24 November 2011 (for one week), 10 June 2012 (for one month), 2 August 2012 (for three months), 22 November 2012 (for three months). I requested semi-protection again on 7 July 2013 following continued vandalism; the response was instead to activate pending-change protection on 8 July 2013 (for one year). In the eleven days since then, the article has continued to be subject to repeated edits (all by IP addresses) denied as vandalism.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] In this time, there have been no legitimate edits. Pending-changes protection is not having the desired effect of preventing vandalism (attempts). Semi-protection is justified and would save reviewers having to continually revert vandalism; any legitimate edits by non-registered users (rare as they are) can be requested on the talk page. —sroc 💬 14:39, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Page was consequently semi-protected on 19 July 2013 for 12 months. Since protection expired, the article has been the subject of repeated vandalism and most edits have been reverted. It is clear that, for whatever reason, the subject attracts vandals despite on-off protection over nearly three years. Request that this be reviewed with consideration of indefinite semi-protection. —sroc 💬 06:03, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Guy Fawkes Night (5 Nov)

This article has been protected even though there was no vandalism occurring at the time, or indeed for the entire 24 hours previously (2 Nov). The only instance of any vandalism the day before that was from a single static IP, easily dealt with without protection. People have tried to justify this on the talk page based on the fact it's apparently a certainty that the article will be vandalised, yet they don't seem to care one bit that the protection policy says quite clearly to wait until it starts before protecting - "Semi-protection should not be used as a preemptive measure against vandalism that has not yet occurred". They don't seem to care at all that this inconveniences people like me, meaning that doing even trivial things like adding a hyperlink takes over an hour. I wanted to make other more complicated changes tonight too, and probably could have if the policy was being followed, but instead I've been wasting my time on this. They claim there is some special exemption for Feature Articles or for articles about anniversaries, yet this isn't mentioned anywhere in the policy that I can see. Even worse, one person seems to think the article is complete, so nobody need edit it at all. Do I even need to say that's not something that appears anywhere in the policy? I've already said all of this at the article, but it was just closed as apparently this has nothing to do with improving the article!?. So I've had to waste even more time coming here. The protecting administrator was made aware, but didn't comment on the policy issue at all, he simply said "If another admin wants to change semi to PC, I got no quarrel with that". I don't know what that is, but it sounds to me like just another form of protection, where people still have to waste time waiting for approval. To be clear, I don't object to protection in principle, and do appreciate it will probably be needed at some point, I just object to it being put in place before there was any need, which makes no sense both from a practical standpoint and because it's totally against the policy (which is presumably not a coincidence). Extending it to 10th Nov also seems to be completely excessive too. Sorry if I haven't used the correct code here, but I cannot figure out how it's supposed to be formatted, everything I tried is garbled. Thank you for your time. Firework bob (talk) 00:43, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The protecting admin was Drmies, who you could have just contacted directly. I would note that this is a bit verbose and opinionated for a request, and unusual for a new user. It looks like the original protection was due to a string of vandalism, so seems reasonable. As to whether or not it should be unprotected, I would want to hear from Drmies. Dennis - 2¢ 00:50, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm obviously not new, I do have experience outside of en.wiki (otherwise how could I write an article like Firework Code?), but I don't see how that's got anything to do with this issue at all. The protection was not for a string of vandalism - I just said exactly that above. The only vandalism that occurred was two days previously, and only from a single IP, which was easily dealt with. There is nothing about a minor incident like that which justifies the protection - the policy is clear on that. Drmies and others have been clear that the protection is for what he fears is to come, not what had actually occurred. He is already aware of this issue, and was before I filed this. Sorry for the verbosity, but apparently just saying it's against policy wasn't being understood, or even replied to. Sorry for being opinionated too, but please appreciate that I have been ignored for some hours now and shuffled around for what appears to me to be a simple issue of ignoring policy in a way that actually prevented me from improving the article, plus it's 1am my time, so I hope you can understand why I feel this has gotten tiresome. Firework bob (talk) 01:09, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And now we have a court jester in the mix too. Perfect. Firework bob (talk) 01:52, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note I was specifically directed to find a noticeboard to raise this issue, since supposedly it has nothing to do with improving the article (even though me not being able to edit it because of an improperly placed protection clearly is an issue that affects the improvement of that article). Firework bob (talk) 01:13, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We are here to build the encyclopedia, not debate the merits of liberty. There is no reason to believe that good edits to this article have been missed due to it current protection level, and past experience suggests that the protection will save wasted effort. Getting autoconfirmed is hardly an onerous barrier and would be a good sign of someone trying to collaborate with others in the community. Johnuniq (talk) 01:24, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Whose talking about liberty? Where did that come from? I'm talking about the clear policy that on Wikipedia articles only get protected in specific circumnstances. These are not those, clearly. I quoted the policy above. Why are you ignoring it? I don't know what wasted effort your talking about, how much effort does it take anyone to actually follow the policy, and only protect the article once it starts to be vandalised? It's one click to ignore policy, or it's two clicks (one to revert the vandal, one to protect the article), or is there something more complex to it than that? Clearly my time and effort don't matter at all, but please don't act like no good edits have been lost - this is not a theoretical exercise. You know full well that I had planned to edit the article beyond just adding a hyperlink, which itself would also have been lost had I not jumped through various hoops to perform even that trivial task. A good sign of people being willing to collaborate would be if I actually got a straight answer to a straight question - why is this article being preemptively protected when this is explicitly disallowed by the policy? I'm not about to plan out my next 10 days just to suit people who can't even do that one simple thing. I'll just put the information in the recycle bin and get on with my life. Firework bob (talk) 01:52, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Really, what Johnuniq said. Much ado about nothing. Everyone knows what kind of edits Guy Fawkes Night gets this time of year. As I said elsewhere, in one of the many threads on this minor point, if someone wants to change to PC that's fine with me. Dennis Brown, thanks for MCing this. Drmies (talk) 01:42, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ignoring policy is nothing? Preventing article improvement is nothing? Allowing vandals to disrupt Wikipedia without even lifting a finger is nothing? There haven't been "many threads" at all either - there's been three. If I had my way, if people weren't trying to deliberately ignore this issue and waste my time, there would have been one. Firework bob (talk) 01:52, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And honestly Drmies, complaining about many threads? You're the person responsible for the second thread - an utterly pointless 'formal request' to add a hyperlink just because you can't be bothered to follow the protection policy. The third thread, this one, is entirely the fault of Johnuniq, who insisted that this has absolutely nothing to do with improving the Guy Fawkes article (an absurdity I'd actually like explained at some point too). Firework bob (talk) 01:57, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not unprotected Putting hyperbole aside, a convincing case hasn't been put forward to unprotect. In spite of claims, protection appears to have been put in place for good cause and a reasonable duration, in compliance with community expectations. Dennis - 2¢ 02:03, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What's not convincing about quoting the precise wording of the policy where it says what not to do, and showing that's exactly what happened? You claimed Drmies protected it for a string of vandalism that had already happened, that was clearly false - he has said and indeed he did no such thing. If you disagree, if you think Drmies has said or indeed did something here other than preemptively protect an article that was not undergoing any vandalism at the time, then please state this clearly here, so I can be sure. I tried to be very clear above - the article was not vandalised, it was not even edited, for the entire 24 hours before he protected it. This is not hyperbole, this is fact. Beside a cause that goes directly against policy (protecting against anticipated vandalism), what other good causes have been demonstrated here? Please do not ignore me Dennis, because if you do, I will appeal this as a manifestly wrong decision. I refuse to accept that what you're proposing to do here is in any way "in compliance with community expectations" unless you can provide some actual evidence that this is the case. Firework bob (talk) 02:20, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, as you appear to have closed it (I thought this was just another note), I will appeal this right now. Since Drmies just suggested I "try using fewer words", I'll see if I have any success with that strategy, since apparently using lots of words is a complete waste of time.

Semi-Protection NY Section only; The section is contentious because NYS has decided in its wisdom to make electric bikes illegal even though by federal law they are allowed to be sold. The definitive source for understanding the law is the NYS DMV site. A desperation seems to exist say that these bikes can be used because the law is conflicting or unclear. Considering you can get a $3000 fine or be put in jail, I would say that there is no lack of clarity. Wikipedia readers have the right to accurate and factual information. This section needs to be protected from pervasive ip editing as follows; New York State (NYS) includes "motor-assisted bicycles" within its list of vehicles which cannot be operated on sidewalks, streets, or highways.[88] Several bills have been sponsored to legalize electric bicycles for use on NYS roads, and several have overwhelmingly passed at the committee level, but none of these initiatives has been able to be heard and then passed in the New York State Senate. The latest bill S390A, "An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the definition of electric assisted bicycle. Clarifying the vehicle and traffic law to define electric assisted bicycles; establish that electric assisted bicycles, as defined, are bicycles, not motor vehicles; and establish safety and operational criteria for their use." has passed the Senate Transportation committee but most likely will not be heard on the floor of the Senate.[89]The New York Bicycle Coalition has supported efforts to define electric bicycles in New York State,[90] but has so far been unable to win Legislative passage. New York City has repeatedly drawn media attention for its enforcement of a ban on electric bicycles in certain neighborhoods,[91] with fines of up to $3,000.[92]--Star Log, Lfrankblam, Kirk Out (talk) 14:48, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Part of the same issue as in the immediately preceding request. Mr. Lisak is a former professor at U Mass who now works as a consultant and speaker. While a professor, he published several articles with extraordinary claims regarding rape on college campuses (one to the effect that 10% of men on college campuses have molested children; another than 15% are self-confessed rapists; etc.). The editor at issue insists that his work is the only reputable source regarding false-rape-accusation statistics. On Lisak's own page, the editor reverts any edit that attempts to update Lisak's occupation -- even simply putting in Lisak's own claims from his own website. There are a slew of other issues. Again, this is part of the POV dispute, and again, the editor reverts every time the POV template is added to the page, refusing to allow the dispute process to proceed per policy.

I'm requesting temporary page protection with the POV template in place so the POV dispute resolution process can proceed without interference.

Temporary semi-protection: Page has serious POV problems, pervasive problem of misrepresented and misstated citations. And editor with a very long history of warnings and violations for bias problems reverts any edits that violate her viewpoint. I've attempted to engage her on the talk page, she refuses to discuss other than to reiterate her view. I started a POV-dispute-resolution topic and put a POV template on the page. The editor has now tried to revert the page three times, and removed the POV template --- after less than 12 hours on the POV disputes page --- twice. She may also be canvassing, something she's been found to have committed before, since the only editor besides her who has participated in the disputes page (its been less than a day) is someone else who worked on the page, who she apparently has some connection or history with. I request protection with the template on until neutral editors look at the issue.

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Long established BLP page, frequently nibbled at by many SPAs, now part of the Gamergate controversy cluster of articles has been subject to content dispute (32 edits in last four days, 17 edits in last 24 hours) involving insertion of material related to a YouTube video published by a notable think tank. Recent RFC determined this material not applicable to this pagespace, but one usually reasonable editor has seemed determined to reinsert, citing prior consensus. By my count, 5 separate editors have made edits to remove the insertion. While 3RR has not been met, this is definitely an edit war situation. Suggest temporary protection to prevent continued edit warring in live pagespace. Would like to think action against inserting editor would not be necessary, but Gamergate controversy sanctions might need be applied in this case. .

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Hi, requesting long-term protection from IPs and non-autoconfirmed users. Article has, for a few years, been a bizarre magnet for vandalism considering it is infrequently edited, but I get the sense that it might be the same actor(s). Lately an IP-hopping user has been vandalizing this article and other articles related to Veggietales. Requesting protection somewhere in the 3 month range, as very few constructive edits have been coming from IPs for a while. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:59, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I had already changed to semi protection for one year but that was reverted. This is an article that could be stable as it is a GA, and is a BLP about a minor, which raises the bar. PC seems useless here, as every single change has been reverted for cause. Dennis - 2¢ 18:00, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined This isn't the place to settle edit disputes. I suggest taking it to the talk page.

Full Protection: I would like full protection on this Wiki article, please! There is persistent vandalism. The following user apparently does not consider this former spiritual organization incorporated in California in 1968 to be a valid religious and spiritual organization, and is working hard to cast it as a cult rather than a true spiritual school and spiritual order. I would guess he is somehow employed by, or affiliated with members in the Orthodox Church of America, who formerly were members of this Holy Order, until it dissolved in a schism in the late 1980's and want very much to denigrate this Wiki article and any and all mention of the Holy Order of Mans. The actual organizational name was re-incorporated in California, thus is now a legal entity. User:Shawnsie 05:44, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Touch of a red flag about this, editor who filed this is actually Shawnsie (talk · contribs), not Drmies (talk · contribs) and made this request a few hours prior to this posting, not over 36 hours ago but I'm willing to put this down to a dispute with Drmies and using an old signature than an intention to decieve. Saying that though, the account has existed since 2006, started editing in 2010 for a few days and seems to have resurfaced only a few days ago which does make me curious. The only consistent element is that it seems like a SPA who's been flying under the radar for a while so take that under some consideration. tutterMouse (talk) 19:23, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In response to your comments TutterMouse (talk · contribs) (and I hope, not knowing a lot about Wiki communication protocols, that this is the correct way to talk with you), I was the original creator of the Wiki article on the Holy Order of Mans organization. I have been instrumental in helping a group of people still very dedicated to the original principles, teachings, practices and rituals of said organization, in social media and on the web. When I realized way back in the summer of 2010 that there were no extensive references to the Holy Order of Mans on Wikipedia, I began creating an article. Later another (Frederick Ravid) with better knowledge and writing skills joined in; 24.98.104.12 (talk · contribs) and pretty much filled in all aspects of the Wiki article. Because this is an organization that had a serious schism, in the late 1980's there are those who have a serious axe to grind, wishing to disassociate themselves from and denigrate the original parent group. I suspect these are the motives behind Drmies (talk · contribs) complete reediting of the original description of the Order. I wish only to present this historical account of the organization, and am not interested in religious quarreling. I am certainly open to providing a link on this Wiki page, to those who were original members and have converted to other religious bodies, and have dissenting viewpoints on the original organization. I just corrected my initial entry with my username, obviously I copied in the html code but forgot to put in my name! User:Shawnsie 20:26, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is a ridiculous request made worse by the editor's accusations--I'm affiliated with the Orthodox Church of America and am editing on their behalf? No: I have a basic disagreement on content with an editor who doesn't know that Wikipedia is not a collection of promotional articles. I've reverted them and will take this up on the talk page. FWIW, the history has User:Michael Paul Heart all over it. Drmies (talk) 21:35, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't want a battle here Drmies , on Wikipedia, and am glad that you are not associated with the OCA. We, the two editors of this Wiki article are still inexperienced at the highest level of scholarly Wiki creation and editing, but are learning fast. We represent a core group of former members of the former Holy Order of Mans and the present Holy Order of Mans corporation (CA) members who continue to respect, propagate, disseminate the original aims, purpose and teachings of this past religious order. We only want a Wiki article explaining the history and structure of the former organization. User:Shawnsie 23:02, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Personally Drmies I feel I really owe you an apology, as I over reacted when I saw you reverting the article from (what I saw as a more complete and accurate depiction of the Hoom) to your much pared down version. As I looked hastily through the history and the many edits (I had not realized it had been worked on so much since 2010), it looked like there was an effort to discredit the original article, and cast light on the organization as some disreputable new age cult. I saw you as one of the most recent editors and singled you out. I will attempt in the future to avoid digital finger pointing! Instead thank you so much for your comments and assistance! I see now I have a lot of work to bring this article up to standards and will endeavor to do so! Shawnsie 2:19, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Shorten semi-protection period. HJ Mitchell indef'd the article yesterday after a brief bout with vandalism. Talked with him yesterday and he said that indef is the way to go, given that there's been more vandalism than good edits in the nine months it had PC. However, given that the article could go for weeks without any edits whatsoever, I don't feel that indefinite semi-protection is warranted anymore (yesterday's bout of vandalism that lead to semi-protection apparently only involved one editor). Nevertheless, a shorter period of semi-protection (maybe one month at the shortest, six months at the longest, though preferably the latter) would be a better compromise. If the protection period is shortened, after such a period expires, we could experiment with not protecting the article for a while, then depending on the level of editing, we can discuss whether PC or semi is a better option on this case.

Semi-protection: After much hard work I was able to pull this article (which is about a highly politically controversial subject) up to GA status back in September 2013. Since that point, the article has faced persistent vandalism and (well-meaning) disruptive edits, such as the posting of unreferenced information and the addition of copyrighted images. It would be much appreciated if the administrators would agree to award this article semi-protection status, as they have already done with similarly contentious political biographies such as Nelson Mandela and Fidel Castro.

Don't respond when asked to explain or engage. Currently, an anon has used two different IPs over the past 24 hours to add the same, unsourced material.

Requested unprotection at User_talk:Future_Perfect_at_Sunrise#Request_unprotection_of_Gamergate_controversy, no response from the admin. The only thing protection does is to halt article improvement, the last it was fully protected, it generate [[28]] of talk page nonsense and resulted in only these changes. Compare this to any period when the article is merely semi-protected.

There are already sanctions in place. If admins spot edit wars on the page, they should just immediately block all involved editors and allow others to work. This article should be semi-protected, not fully protected. - hahnchen 19:41, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected Sanctions don't appear to have stopped edit warring before. More critically, appealing here is a bit hasty for a request you made with the protecting administrator less than 48 hours ago. --j⚛e deckertalk 18:40, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sanctions haven't stopped edit-warring because administrators have been failing to apply them. Instead, protecting the page effectively sanctioning everyone. I've already highlighted with examples how protection fails. Why waste time waiting for it again? The protecting admin has barely interacted with the page at all outside of protection, I don't think they're interested at all in improving the article. - hahnchen 19:43, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
At the moment Gamergate controversy is the single most troublesome page on all of Wikipedia. If there ever was a case for full protection, this is it. If you have ideas for improving the article, try using the WP:EDITREQ process. An admin can edit through protection to make any changes that have consensus on the talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 20:10, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We've been here before. It's been fully protected twice before, and there was zero improvement. The times between protections have been significantly more productive. Admins have chosen to apply protection instead of applying sanctions. Admins have been enforcing protection, which has been shown not to work, instead of applying sanctions. Why have sanctions at all? - hahnchen 20:16, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: The article has recently been subject to extreme POV editing, originally by a SPA (Tatlock123). The problems with the edits were extensively explained at Talk:Adolf_Hitler_and_vegetarianism#Recent_POV_edits, but now there has been a recent spate of IP edits pushing the same extreme POV. It's pretty obvious that judging by the edits to this article and also at Animal welfare in Nazi Germany and Animal rights and the Holocaust the editor is using Wikipedia to promote an agenda. It has been pointed out to Tatlock that he has the prerogative to file an RFC to get input from the wider community, but instead we are getting this anyonymous editing instead.

Indefinite semi-protection: This article has been under constant attack from vandals for months. Nearly every edit in the last six months is vandalism or the reverting of vandalism. In particular, a Hong Kong based editor has been presistenly attempting to falsify dates (ie [38]). Given that they keeps hoping IPs, and that it does not seem to be restricted to a narrow IP band that could be range blocked, semi-protection seems to be the most effective way to deal with this.

@Courcelles: Much appreciated, however I was wondering why you only chose 2 weeks. The most recent semi protection was from April 1st-October 1st 2014, which has been expired for a month now and led to a solid amount of vandalism in the unprotected time. If 6 months didn't do it, perhaps a longer protection than 2 weeks may be needed. Gloss 07:09, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Shorten length of semi-protection: posted this here a few days ago, but went stale. I spoke with the protecting admin, and he says he won't unprotect nor shorten protection of the page (see User talk:HJ Mitchell#Pikachu for more information), but he's fine with another admin looking at this. Anyway, indef is probably too long given the lack of edits to the page, probably should only be a few months at the most. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:23, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – This article previously had indefinite semi-protection on it that was removed during the beginning of October this year. Since it was removed, this article has had a steady stream of vandalism and BLP-violating edits by anons and non-autoconfirmed editors. However, some of the edits from these editors do seem to be helpful, so returning the semi-protection doesn't seem necessary, but due to the popularity of the subject, some sort of indefinite protection seems necessary due to it being a vandalism magnet.

Indefinite semi-protection: Either PC or preferably semi-protection. This is one of those odd lists I keep on my watch list, as I've never edited any of the articles (except one AFD), but there has never, ever been a single IP edit to it that wasn't spam. While it isn't the most active page, it is a magnet for IPs to come and add their website, which someone (me) has to revert. I'm soon to be off for an extended break and hate to come home to a mile long list of spammy redlinks. The risk of disenfranchising anyone wanting to add anything of value is practically zero.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Over the last month, an IPv6-hopping editor keeps adding unsourced content about a future event in contravention of WP:CRYSTAL. Since they keep hopping IPs, discussion with them is not possible. Some of the IPs used have been blocked for other forms of disruption. The article has been a target of other unsourced future additions as well, like this, and prior to that was protected (circa September 18) for other persistently disruptive additions.

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring.

This article has been the subject of a multi-month edit war in which some editors are making dozens of edits per day (mainly partial or complete reversions of existing material), bickering about issues as trivial as whether the material formed by e-cigarettes is a "vapor" or an aerosol, and dragging one another into ANI in a retaliatory fashion. The article is edited scores of times a day with no notable improvement in the last 2 months, and a battleground mentality has clearly become very entrenched. Please do them all a favor by giving them all an enforced 1 or 2 week break from edit warring. Unlikely, but perhaps they will lose some of their emotional intensity while spending some time with their families instead of bickering with each other.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Back on the regular checkup, but unfortunately not much has improved. After this page was unprotected less than a month ago, there has been very little action on this page other than vandalism and reverting vandalism. As long as I have been on Wikipedia, I can remember at most 3 or 4 positive edits from IPs to the article. Has been protected in some form or another 7 times in the past, so perhaps the time has come to make it indefinite. JZCL 17:18, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I ask that this request be denied; the OP and the IP are edit-warring over very minor things like periods, cite date styles and blank space in the editing window of the article and this should be dealt with via warnings to both the parties to stop it, not semi-protection (the edit cite was a duplicate link the OP added for each article in the same blog over and over again, one which I removed last week as overlinking). The OP has a history of WP:OWN with the listed page and needs to realize that others are allowed to edit the article too, and the IP complaints about terse and over-specific edit summaries targeted their way are also proper.

Un-protection request. The article was fully protected following a dispute over content; however, the protection is playing into the hands of a disruptive editor who has been trying to force through edits over a consensus. He has been forum shopping on the article talk page, user talk pages, the 3RR noticeboard and DRN, trying to get an admin to overrule a consensus and refusing to participate in any discussion to prevent the consensus from being re-established. Given his behaviour, I believe that fully protecting the article only enables him because it shows that he can play the system to get what he wants. Despite his behaviour and refusal to participate, members of the Formula 1 WikiProject have had some very constructive discussions on both the talk page and at DRN, with plans for a wider discussion on the WikiProject and an RfC. At this point, page protection is only stifling the article and enabling disruptive editors. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 22:35, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary or permanent full protection or template protection: Editors continually edit this template (and the docpage), inserting actual biographies (usually of themselves). note that I have not requested semi-protection because most of the editors editing this template/docpage have autoconfirmed accounts, so semi-protection would not prevent their edits.

Extend Semi-protection: If Exo ever becomes automatically unprotected, I've noticed that in the Protection log that it immediately becomes semi-protected again due to higher levels of vandalism.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I don't see any evidence of consensus against the creation, especially since it looks to have been released. The talk page only shows one of the three editors there supporting a redirect. I'd suggest taking it to AFD to clarify consensus. Ricky81682 (talk) 02:13, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion is rather at Talk:Five Nights at Freddy's rather than this one of three alternate titles chosen because people don't know how to edit the original and printworthy redirect.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 05:41, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There's still no consensus for the redirect. There are requests supporting a separate page here, random speculation but no discussion against it here, and here, an editor is trying to provide sources (not all of which obviously constitute WP:RS) but no one other than you advocating a redirect (and editing to make it a redirect). Point being, it seems like a content dispute not a case for protection. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:52, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
