It's obviously the same guy behind all the reverts removing the "pseudoscience" text, he even uses the same bizarre "editorial political hate speech" language in his edit summaries.

Semi-protection: an unregistered user with a dynamic IP address has been intermittently but persistently trying to insert a long quote, without context or explanation, at the end of the article, going back to June. They been reverted by multiple users, mostly with explanatory edit summaries, which the IP has been reading as they have responded in their own edit summaries, but is not paying the slightest attention. They could be blocked for edit warring if they stuck to one IP address, but they don't, so the only way to put a stop to this disruptive behaviour is semi-protection. --Nicknack009 (talk) 20:16, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary Semi-protection: Edit warring from IP users who will not participate in a constructive dialogue on the talk page. The article is experiencing repeated attempts to add off-topic current events related to the crimes of a single individual.

Requesting temporary protection for the article until the current "excitement" ends and efforts to add non-relevant material cease. JEH117818 (talk) 05:18, 3 December 2014 (UTC) Those adding the article on child abuse have been adding their point of view on the talk page, you simply have to read it.

Salt against recreation: Was meant to be salted in September after this AfD but a new editor has just recreated it.

Temporary full protection: The page just came off of protection and a massive controversial series of edits were performed by one editor, most without consensus and no discussion.link There is support for continued protection link2, and it needs to be long enough for rules to be agreed on, I think the thanksgiving holiday kept some away. The only person opposing the protection is the person responsible for the edits as soon as the old one expired. AlbinoFerret 20:54, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The page needs protection because of the massive edits you did after the page protection expired, with no discussion or consensous. You have been in your sandbox stockpiling edits, no discussion at all. AlbinoFerret 21:09, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the automated commment is incorrect. There was a request made 8 days ago to protect the page, and it was granted. (It is possible that someone put in a deprotect request during that time though). I support re-protection based on rapid improvement in the quality of the discussion that occurred while the protection was in place, and based on the the conflict that broke out as soon as the protection was lifted. The comments above by QuackGuru and AlbinoFerret show the level of animosity that has developed among the editors of this page. They did much better when not allowed to directly edit the page. (see bottom of the talk page). Formerly 98 (talk) 21:09, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Formerly 98: The bot is referring to QG's request to remove protection. I had high hopes that the way things were handled during the protection would somehow carry on afterwards. Sadly that wasnt the case. I liked the discussions about changing and adding, they were done with no surprises. We clearly need to set forth clear procedures before the protection is lifted. AlbinoFerret 21:21, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@East718:The edit war has resumed.link. The problem with the page is group warring. If the larger group wants something in or removed it uses reverts to override consensus. AlbinoFerret 01:44, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You deleted sourced text and added a bogus FV tag to the first sentence of the article. There are discussions on the talk page.[11][12] QuackGuru (talk) 01:56, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is no fake tag, I asked for the location in the source, you just delete the tag. This page became a battlefield because of your edits on a contentious page without discussing anything. The material was removed because hte section its in was broken out long ago to its own page. We are not going to recreate the section by constant additions to it. If you want something in WP, place it on the correct page. There are also problems with the edit itself. AlbinoFerret 03:09, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I provided verification in my edit summary and I provided a link to the source on the talk page. You deleted the same text at the e-cigs page and at the other page too. Do you remember you Undid revision 636360698 by Yobol (talk) on 20:13, 2 December 2014 at the Legal status of electronic cigarettes page‎? QuackGuru (talk) 03:54, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If I did remove it, it was an accident, but a medical journal is not a reliable source for commenting on laws, how laws are formed, or people using their rights to express their opinions to governments. Its beyond the experts field. AlbinoFerret 04:59, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
According to your edit summary it should be on the Legal status page and now you claim a 2014 MEDRS compliant review is somehow unreliable for the claim. QuackGuru (talk) 05:10, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is not the page for content discussions. but in reply, after thinking about it, a medical journal is not a reliable source for legal claims or how people exercise their rights. It is beyond their expertise. AlbinoFerret 05:45, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined, I just feel like we shouldn't overuse the conservative nature of pending changes protection. It still stands in the way of the "anyone can edit" philosophy. Here we have a low edit rate, are not experiencing much blatant vandalism. The continuance of these "Dijbouti shooty" unsourced additions are all in good-faith.

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Let's escalate this slowly. The page was protected for a few days in November. Protection for 1 month should provide time to investigate if selected IP ranges can be blocked instead. Just glancing over the history, it appears that a single range block would be too broad, but the ISP may have some logical smaller subnets that make more sense. I don't have time to investigate this now. Another alternative might be pending-change protection, which would be weird for a talk page, but certainly feasible. ~Amatulić (talk) 05:30, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is there some reason random new users need access to my pages? They aren't actual encylopedia content and I can always be emailed if someone wants to get word to me. I suppose I don't see any reason to not protect them given that they don't contain any actual WP content. But the vandalism was reverted before I even saw the changes in most cases so the anti-vandalism mechanisms seem to be working.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Page protection recently expired and again we're back into the disruptive re-ordering of cast with this edit from a Kerala, India IP. For background, there are two sock jobbers who are prolific at this page, Wiki-senetor and Harirajmohanhrm. The latter vandal is the one who tends to place Indian actor "Mammootty" first, so I think that's our likely scapegoat in this case.

No protection: Most (or atleast a majority of) IP edits have been constructive. People seem to have a lot of respect in this case and there have been surprisingly few instances of vandalism. Biased POV edits like the occasional "murdered" don't really constitute wp:disruptive editing. IPs have provided references to the article, corrected longstanding errors and even cleaned up behind other IPs. Just go through the history. And there have been exactly zero edits trashing living persons so far. The protection can at best be called preemptive action. But you're also stymying the quick updating and involved fact-checking that can only be done by the larger community. As long as they're doing more good than harm I think banning anonymous edits is unwarranted.

The protecting admin claimed that new accounts were wp:vandalizing "too much" but the only instance I could find was [24] (It was easier to mention this diff than list all the constructivve ones.) And there were only a couple instances of blatant vandalism from IPs even in recent history. 64.233.173.178 (talk) 15:29, 6 December 2014 (UTC)aka Googleman[reply]

 Not done. I see several IP edits prior to protection being reverted, and anonymous edit requests on the talk page, which would have been made directly in the article, are declined. Looks to me like the protection is working. Please continue using {{edit semiprotected}} requests if you have a constructive suggestion.
Please discuss with the protecting administrator, Ymblanter, whether a reduction to pending-change-protection may be worthwhile to consider. I can't see totally unprotecting it at this point, however. ~Amatulić (talk) 01:33, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Since the additions are relatively far apart (only once every few days) I went with a relatively long-duration pending changes on all the articles, rather than semi-protection.

I gave it a nice long protection (until August 15, 2015) since this is the second time recently it's needed re-protecting soon after being unprotected.

Full protection: Edit warring. Formerly 98 (talk)

Formerly 98 reverted to an old version and there was only minor edit warring over including a blog. I started a discussion for the bit about the FDA. See Talk:Oseltamivir#FDA statement. QuackGuru (talk) 03:51, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There have been 31 edits over the last 5 hours, mostly partial or full reversions. QuackGuru spends most of his time at Electronic Cigarette, which is currently on 2 weeks full protection following a previous full week of protection due incessant edit warring. He posted notes protesting both of these protections. His standards of what constitutes "minor" edit warring may not mainstream. Formerly 98 (talk) 03:57, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The point of protection is to get editors to discuss the article but editors are already using the talk page. QuackGuru (talk) 04:14, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined It's hard to see what exactly is edit reversion due to the high number of total edits. Have you considered using a draft version? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:06, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – One of several pages subject to frequent vandalism via Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/DPeterson. Others had to be protected recently (Reactive attachment disorder and Dyadic developmental psychotherapy)... then he/she moves to the next one (mostly detailed at the LTA page).

It may be helpful to protect all of these pages, for which this vandalism seems to constitute the majority of edits, such that their protection expires at the same time (to try to halt the current whack-a-mole game and see if it resumes in 6 months). That would include the currently unprotected Complex post-traumatic stress disorder, Attachment disorder, and Attachment-based therapy (children). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 04:34, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I do see protection history, but the rate of sock edits seems so low (and the ease of detection so high) that it might be easier to just drop a quick report on WP:AIV whenever one pops up, and just include a link to the LTA case.

For administrators: Could anyone block edition of site Wykop.pl for non-registered users editing from their IPs? Since November, this article is still edited by anonymous trolls (see [64]). Section "Controversies" about films about John Paul II should be deleted in this site. These films weren't made by Wykop, but by karachan.org, a local mutation of 4chan. Some users of Wykop with its chairman, Michal Bialek, checked authors of these films and committed it to prosecutors, so users of karachan.org started to sign the films with Wykop.pl logo. Link about it in Polish [65] Links used in this section are not reliable - one [66] links for a blog, other - to "films" [67].

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – For the last two weeks a user from Trieste, Italy keeps adding poorly-written, subjective content to articles related to Dexter's Laboratory. Since they keep hopping IPs, they haven't been responsive to discussion and warnings, and they seem to have not seen talk page comments like this one (at a related article). Some IPs involved: 87.15.236.178, 87.2.63.115, 95.237.234.39, 87.15.2.20. They've been at this for 2 weeks, which is why I'm requesting 2 week protection. Some examples of the problematic content: these edits where they misuse "unluckily", they don't use proper spacing after periods and commas, they attempt to speculate that Dee Dee is "impressed".

Atsme, it would be helpful if you tried to portray the dispute more neutrally, instead of insisting that you're the one enforcing BLP by reverting all the other editors who are trying to bring the article in line with what reliable sources say. bobrayner (talk) 13:57, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
interesting move. Atsme edit warred, has not used the Talk page well, has been to BLPN where she got no traction, and today edit warred again (4RR), threatened ANI, and came here. Hm. I have not brought actions as I am trying to work with her. That said, the article is being heavily edited by other editors on other issues and there is near-edit war among them; I was thinking of asking for pp but not yet. You all here can sort out what you want to do. fwiw I recommend no pp action as of the time I am signing this. Thx. Jytdog (talk) 17:38, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • When the main edit-warrior requests full protection, it's a sure sign of an attempt to game the system. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 19:15, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hopefully an admin will read my request and also notice how quickly I was attacked by the "group" for trying to correct blatant BLP violations. All they did was revert without following through with their burden of proof for why the derogatory material should remain. Their responses are products of WP:DONTGETIT, which further explains why the article needs protection. Actually it needs sanctions because the same group of editors who keep defending the BLP violations appear to want the article to remain as a starter so it can be used as a WP:COATRACK. When the BLP violations are corrected, they respond to edits with the attitude of WP:OWN. Atsme☯Consult 21:45, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Full protection is most certainly not going to happen. The disruption is infrequent, and restricting editing to admins-only simply goes against the open nature of Wikipedia. I do see value in salting the AfD page, so I have done that. I will look into this further and see if there are other feasible means of preventing the ongoing disruption. — MusikAnimal talk 02:59, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As much as full protection is heavy handed and undesirable, it's already been proved necessary. There is no point having a page editable when the only edits are vandalism (because no one is getting to make proper edits even when its not protected). I'm also fed up of seeing this disruption constantly mentioned as infrequent every time we have to bring it up here. It's not infrequent, there is an obvious pattern and this is not some random ip/new user doing a drive-by vandalism. It's calculated, planned and designed to cause us as much grief as possible. It's completely pointless having auto confirmed protection because the evidence is already there that this does not work as the puppet master will happily just wait until his accounts are confirmed and then vandalise (and don't assume they wait for them to be blocked before creating new ones) Thats the only reason it doesn't happen more frequently, they need to restock their accounts. Then we end up back at square one because it's not "frequent enough" even though we are talking days not weeks. It does not help having to restart this process everytime because we end up back at the beginning.
That the same vandalism has been made, using the same tactics, and the day after protection ends (yet again) should be all the evidence needed to show this will not work. This needs to stop being treated as if it was some temporary thing, it is clearly not and no measures less than full protection will help - this has been proven. I realise it's a last resort, but we are long past the point of having any patience over this.SephyTheThird (talk) 03:27, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fortunately, preventive measures are not limited to page protection and blocking. Like I said, I'm working on it. Avoiding full-protection at all costs is ideal. An article that no one can edit is a good as none, in my opinion. At that point it's no longer a wiki. — MusikAnimal talk 03:40, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected Going to boldly decline this despite the ambiguity of what the requester is actually requesting. There appears to be occasional spurts of activity where the edit rate is high, which we can safely assume would also be true with unconfirmed users (new album released, press coverage, etc). Hence pending-changes protection would not be appropriate as it would quickly backlog Special:PendingChanges.

Full Protection As soon as the previous protection expired, massive POV editing began for which there is no consensus. The comments made on the Talk page make it clear that there is a "my way or the highway" attitude being deployed by certain editors, who are began implementing their positions the moment the protection was lifted.

Full-protection: IP vandalism continues on daily (and hourly) basis. IP vandal is an online merchant with a COI using two IP addresses, adding biased POV to an article about an online merchant ratings site. Beyond the clear bias, the new text implies controversy where it's not clear that any exists (except in the mind of the IP vandal), adds hyperbole and emphasis where none is indicated ("merchants must pay a fee": there is nothing unique about any business charging fees) to bolster IP vandal's position against the ratings site, and deletes key positive facts about the ratings site's largest customers (again, to bolster IP vandal's opposition to the resource).

    Declined The semi-protection was added because of persistent sockpuppetry, and no-one, admin or not, should have to put up with that. The actual edits in question were so bad that they were oversighted. DP should probably have an unprotected subpage for IP comments per Wikipedia:Protection policy#User talk pages, but then he hasn't been active since the start of his ArbCom case so he probably won't be setting it up himself right away. I'd say the best solution would be to wait until DP returns to active editing, and then raise the issue again. If he's not active, posting to his talk page wouldn't make any difference anyway, as he won't be around to answer it. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 02:53, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pending Changes protection per Newyorkbrad observation[87]. IP vandalism creates multiple oversight issues. Frank Wu (artist) was the latest with 10 oversight deletions in 2 days as semi-protection expired.

Full Protection Please restore the protection to Electronic cigarette. It was set to full protection for a month because of continuous edit wars on December 18 diff. A section on the page can be found in this pages archives here. link Wordsmith, an admin who has recently involved himself with editing the article diff has changed the protection level after less than two days. diff and shortened it without any discussion here on this page. I do ask for a change, I would like to see the protection made permanent until the editors of the page agree that its not necessary, if that isnt possible, then please restore the month of protection. AlbinoFerret 11:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. User:AlbinoFerret, I am not convinced that one talk page edit by User:The Wordsmith make him too involved to change the protection level, something I think that was done in good faith. It has been about 9 hours since and there has been little action. If on the other hand there is a major amount of editors warring again then it may well be necessary.

@CambridgeBayWeather: Yes that it. Here is the section on the edit link here is the reversal of the edit diff. Here is him reverting it after I chaged it back for a second time. diff Here is him accusing me of edit warring after he reverted twice. diff Please revert it back to how it was and protect the page.

@CambridgeBayWeather: Look at the page order.

Edit warring should not result in you getting your way. AlbinoFerret 20:18, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Disruptive Norfolk, Virginia IP keeps changing the S3 header from 2013-2014 to 2013-2015.[96][97] and now a new IP (Lima, Peru) has sprung up with this change here. I suspect meatpuppetry given that this Peru IP's change was closely followed by an edit from the Norfolk user. And, preceding these edits was yet another change by IP 68.245.216.19, so we might be talking about an editor using proxies to make these disruptive changes. Per WP:TVUPCOMING we only change years once episodes air in that year. Since episodes have aired in 2015 (what with it still being 2014 and all) it is premature to change the header, and doing so would also contravene WP:CRYSTAL. I've attempted to communicate this point in edit summaries and on the user's talk page, but to no avail. Requesting protection from IPs through January 1st, with the hope that this will dissuade the disruptions. Thanks, and happy holidays!. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:52, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection. Discussion about Maxwell's nationality has been raised at several venues recently without resolution. We've had a back-and-forth in the article and this has recently been exacerbated by the involvement of what appears to be a dynamic IP from Northern Ireland, which may or may not be a participant who has logged out to avoid scrutiny. In any case, I think the situation is fraught enough without having this take place. Requesting semi-protection until the matter is resolved. --John (talk) 18:25, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: This article is a popular target for random vandalism. Most recently, this happened Dec 19, by an anon, who was blocked after 4 disruptive edits. However, this isn't the last time this article will be targeted. This is a steady stream of disruptive edits that has been going on for years (I have it on my watchlist). I suspect this article is a popular target because the topic of the article (tone) is taught during secondary school, leading many teens to look it up often.

A brief look at the article's history demonstrates that there have been about 2 constructive edits in the past 50! The rest have been vandalism, followed by reverting the vandalism. These range from Sandbox-type edits, to sexual references [120] [121] [122] [123], and a bunch of other nonsense [124] [125] [126].

After some academic edits have been made, anti-Buddhist bigots are now requesting the page to be locked so that a few spiteful critics and biased editors can push their own biased POV. This is one reason this article has been flagged for "lack of neutrality" for years.
