Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. I just rollled back over weeks of edits with a diff showing no actual non-vandal changes to the page. Thanks. —Noah 17:18, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done above, I noticed the duplicate report before this one. Thanks to both of you. --Bongwarrior (talk) 20:31, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection:: History clearly showing IPs dispute. Himanshugarg06 (talk) 15:43, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The article already has pending changes protection, but there has been an increase in IP and non-confirmed user editing over the past few days, particularly adding unsourced content to a BLP; pending changes protection is not able to keep up with the load. --MelanieN (talk) 21:10, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection:: Persistent vandalism — Too many edits by IPs and non-confirmed users. Himanshugarg06 (talk) 14:10, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The article already had pending changes protection, but with the enormous amount of IP and non-confirmed user editing over the past few days, pending changes protection is not able to keep up with the load. --MelanieN (talk) 21:10, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary Semi-protection: Moderate level of IP vandalism. Mikesc86 (talk) 20:23, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. --Bongwarrior (talk) 20:28, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Full protection for a week requested. As several editors on the talk page note and as WP:BLP requires, we cannot make unconfirmed claims about medical procedures and the like. Anonymous, unnamed, unattributed "sources" cannot confirm anything, and we need confirmation from Jenner or his representatives before we can say he is transitioning to some degree (still uncertain) of womanhood. Yet several new, registered editors with a tabloid mentality continue adding this WP:BLP-vio claim. -- Tenebrae (talk) 19:42, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done - A week sounds about right. I've fully protected this indefinitely, and will manually downgrade the protection level in one week. --Bongwarrior (talk) 20:25, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotection: Originally protected due to persistent vandalism, but interest in the topic has waned. I'd like to move the page to a more suitable name but moves are restricted to sysops only. I don't know why though. ceradon (talk • contribs) 06:03, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. I don't see anything at User talk:Gfoley4 indicating you asked them as the instructions state. While I'm not sure why it was move protected, I didn't read the talk page or check the history for problems, it would be a good idea to start a move discussion on the article talk page. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 11:17, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Create protection: Repeatedly recreated. APK whisper in my ear 06:32, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Snuggums (talk / edits) 02:26, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Submission of unsourced content after expiration of PP. Article was protected for repeated submission of unsourced content, mostly by IPs who deliberately ignored embedded notes requiring sources. Most recent example is here, and even from a registered user during the protection period, here. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:50, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 11:04, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism, with certain IPs constantly changing a sub-heading (Details on page) Redflorist (talk) 22:00, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you bring up the issue on the article's talk page instead of asking for page protection. The IP edits aren't obvious vandalism - they are a difference of opinion. Haminoon (talk) 23:28, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Declined CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:27, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Due to the historic high level of IP vandalism in UFC events (specially PPV), I'm here asking for protection for their next PPV event, due to happen today. Not only it is a PPV event (big chances of vandalism as mentioned), but it will feature two of the most popular fighters in the sport, making pretty sure that there will be vandalism during the event broadcast. As I've witnessed them several times, I'm here asking for protection before the event starts to avoid a huge list of edits that are done only to revert unnecessary vandalism. Thanks. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 03:44, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined for now but come back or ping me if it heats up. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:39, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It has already started with a guy posting some links as there were some others earlier. And the event is about to begin. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 23:24, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The vandalism is running wild, we need protection ASAP. Please and thank you. WWE Batman131 (talk) 23:59, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There's multiple people editing the page putting illegal streaming links. --Zimbabweed (talk) 00:05, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And vandalism. Tough to say "I told you so", but when we mention that's a constant problem and this event has a huge change of it happening, it would be wiser to protect it when requested. It's no news to who frequently sees these pages. Hope somebody protects it asap. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 01:15, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Talk page of redirect (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection: 800+ transclusions. George Ho (talk) 19:47, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined with rare exceptions, 1,000 transclusions is a minimum for calling a template "high-risk". HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:09, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: over the past year this page has been redirected by different, but related, IPs. – Zntrip 19:36, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I note that you edit-warred to insert unsourced content, and the IPs have all been removing unsourced content. Semiprotection would be very convenient, allowing you to add policy violations with less chance that anybody else will be try to fix them. bobrayner (talk) 19:51, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To my great embarrassment, I misidentified the cleanup tag and did not realized the page was completely unsourced. I'll withdraw the request and work on the article a bit. My apologies, and thanks for the honest assesment bobrayner. – Zntrip 20:56, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 19) (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – There is a specific IP address that has been trolling these pages since December and I am at a loss what to do. Their disruptive editing has ceased because of the article's page protection. Now, they have disrupting once more with the same edit request. One main IP is currently offline but has now moved to a new IP, and as a result I request RPP. Callmemirela (talk) 18:19, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined tehre's a high bar to protecting a talk page, and this isn't frequent enough. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:03, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection; Persistent and enthusiastic IP editors of non-English origin. This foreign film has just been nominated for an Academy Award in foreign films, and enthusiastic IPs of non-English origin have been making numerous non-grammatical changes. The film is not on DVD yet so there are no regular editors to help with clean-ups to grammar. It is getting exhausting after several days, and a short 10-20days semi-protect should get the film past the Academy Awards in February. By then open up the editing again. OilandTempura (talk) 03:20, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined most of the anonymous edits appear to be constructive. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:35, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – January has been filled with nonconstructive edits from IPs. Highly visbile page, been protected many times before. Bossanoven (talk) 21:38, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected., too low activity for semi-protection, let us try pending changes--Ymblanter (talk) 21:55, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Non-constructive IP edits have continued. This isn't any kind of dispute, there are just a lot of bad edits being put through that LLArrow, myself, and another editor or two have had to continuously revert. Gloss 21:58, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined you are edit-warring over whether an actor is a main cast member and whether or not he should be included in a certain list. That's a content dispute. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:56, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pending changes protection, level 1 • Content disputed as in article for Soka Gakkai. History shows editors come out of nowhere, edits might be discussed prior. --Catflap08 (talk) 20:53, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A lot if IP vandalism due to rumours about him moving to a bigger club. JMHamo (talk) 15:46, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. The IP edits are not so much vandalism as content dispute - good faith addition of rumored but unconfirmed information. Also, I see constructive editing from IP accounts, reverting the improper edits; semiprotection would prevent them from doing so. --MelanieN (talk) 17:07, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Ghana Football Association was affiliated to Confederation of African Football in 1960, with reliable source.

However, someone always revert my editing. 202.40.137.202 (talk) 11:09, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Getting some vandalism from being featured on the main page. Gloss 06:38, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's that bad. Since the article went on the main page, non-autoconfirmed editors have been responsible for three bad edits, two good edits, and one possibly well-intentioned edit. That ratio may or may not change as the day goes on. --Bongwarrior (talk) 07:05, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Declined for now (for the bot) - I agree with Bongwarrior. For a main page FA the vandalism isn't too bad. AlexiusHoratius 14:36, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: A user by the name of The Four Deuces has (more than 10 times) reverted edits that remove connections to Nazism/genocide from "Far-right". To most of us, far-right people include Rush Limbaugh, Ted Cruz, etc. Not exactly someone we like, but not a nazi or someone who supports genocide (Theres a seperate page for that, called radical-right politics). Dozens of people have attempted to remove this connection (Check the history page), but the same person has reverted it. I've brought it up on the talk page, but the user doesn't seem to budge from what is an obvious error. Redflorist (talk) 01:17, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. I can't see any reason for move protection; the article hasn't been moved since 2008. Did you mean to request some other type of protection? I see that there have been multiple incidents of vandalism from IPs in the past week. The article currently has Pending Changes protection. --MelanieN (talk) 20:49, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite pending changes: Repeated accusations of various parties and individuals being corrupt. This is particularly interesting as none of the users adding bias to the pages appear to be affiliated with one another. . Mr. Guye (talk) 17:14, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What I see is not vandalism, but rather edit-warring between you and the IP over issues like the age of a player. Our policy does not permit the use of semi-protection when it will result in favoring one side over the other in an edit war. I am locking the page for 24 hours so that you and the IP can move your disputes to the talk page. Both of you are in danger of sanctions if the edit warring continues.

This page has an accurate title, as is reflected by WWE themselves.[1] There is currently an open discussion taking place on the site's talk page, yet no users have taken part because no users have expressed interest in using an inaccurate title. Now, this page is for requests for page protections. I also believe that this page needs extra protection due to constant vandalism. I wanted to make sure I made that clear, but my main concern is that the user doesn't getting rewarded for ignoring discussions on the move which are taking place here and [[Talk:WWE Fastlane|here], and proceeding to just request a change on this page].

Sorry to trouble the relevant Wikipedia administrators, but I believe that we should start protecting the Greco-Italian War page as soon as possible. Δρ.Κ. has falsely accused me of starting a war edit and in relying on "fascist" sources, when one source (De Felice (1990), p. 125) I had included had already been in use way before the edits that I made some hours ago. It has come to my attention that Δρ.Κ. has also shown bad faith with AnnalesSchool recently. Unfortunately it seems that we also have some meat puppets in the form of Alexikoua and Constantine that simply go ahead and remove my edits even though I have included primary sources and requested them to please show good faith. --100menonmars (talk) 16:09, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have argued my case in the talk page, but to no avail. All I get are weak excuses to explain their bad faith edits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Greco-Italian_War#This_wikipedia_page_has_been_hijacked_by_.CE.94.CF.81..CE.9A. It should be noted that the wikipedia page has been tagged with the following notice right at the top:

This article may be unbalanced towards certain viewpoints. (August 2014)

I should point out that if historian Samuel Mitcham hadn't relied on German Army sources from the Second World War, then he wouldn't have written so many books about the German Army from North Africa to the Russian Front. Yet his books are taken seriously. Also if we accept British military communiques and Australian battalion war diaries as valid primary sources like we do on the page about the Siege of Tobruk, then why can't we accept Italian military communiques and the war diaries that were consulted in the preparation of the official histories of the Italian Armed Forces? --100menonmars (talk) 16:40, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • This clueless personal attack-fueled report masks the latest POV-push by the OP who is adding POV material by fascist-leaning historians and reports by Italian fascist newspapers during the war. The OP continues edit-warring adding the falsehood that the Italian army had captured divisions of the Greek army in Epirus, which had already surrendered two days prior and was already in the process of demobilising. Will not stop edit-warring despite having no consensus on the talkpage about these falsehoods and his/her use of primary sources. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 17:40, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree totally with 100menonmars. Dr K and others are being unnecessarily touchy and defensive, especially when it comes to citing new and relevant material. It is obvious that articles like the Greco-Italian war, could be improved considerably if we all started to be more open minded about sources and perhaps, more critical about others.AnnalesSchool (talk) 07:59, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – An FA on a subject with a fair amount of traffic, and a page that has attracted large amounts of IP/new user vandalism over time. However, there are also plenty of productive IP edits, so PC is the best solution. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 13:12, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined, This is a tricky one. I think the edit count is too high for PC to be effective; there'd be a lot of pending edits queueing up waiting. Secondly, a lot of the regualr eidtors aren't reviewers which means even their edits would have to be approved. Semi protection would solve these problems, but I'm not certain that the level of disruption is high enough especially versus the good IP edits. I'd suggest giving it a week and relisting.

Declined Indefinite protection of a talk page is virtually unheard of, and in this case the volumes aren't high enough. As edits have now been oversighted, I can't see their content, so it's impossible for me to judge on their seriousness (beyond the need for oversight), so if the person who did the oversight has a view on this then that's different, but I can't work out who that was.

@Panyd:, the request was for semi-protection. Please check your reason and drop the full-prot. Reverting deliberate addition of false content is not content dispute and I'm sure you as an admin would know that. Or did you not even bother to look at the issue? —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 17:20, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you kindly for that show of good faith. Please see my response to your question here. I've no trouble talking to you about this. I've no trouble changing my mind the protection level if it becomes clear that was not the correct thing to do. It is at my discretion whether or not I think full or semi protection is needed. Again, more than happy to discuss and be wrong - I have a mop not the powers of Christ - but please at least listen to my reasoning before accusing me of carelessness.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Requesting 1-2 month protection from IPs and non-autoconfirmed. Persistent introduction of factual errors and hoax proliferation. The questionable content is typically related to the "title" of Season 4. In late 2014 the rumor was the next season would be titled "Return of an Ancient Evil". After catching wind of this, I removed these unsourced assertions and found that most of the mentions of this title were on disreputable websites and were being promoted as a hoax. On Feb 1, a user on the talk page requested "Titanium Ninja" be added as a title, and since then we've seen Tournament of Element, Battle of the Elementals, and so on. There seems to be a campaign across multiple IPs and users to disrupt this article, so I think protection for at least a couple of months is warranted, considering the length of disruption. Thanks.

Sorry, but a couple of vandalism per month that's what is called persistent vandalism, and should be quite enough. Hafspajen (talk) 17:56, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I concur with Panyd's decision. I would also have declined. The earlier semiprotection was in response to a surge in vandalism, but since that protection expired the vandalism has been at a low/manageable level.

No, the protection policy suggests contacting the administrator who originally protected the page in "unclear circumstances." This unprotection is totally straightforward. Perhaps the instructions above should be changed to reflect the protection policy? HiDrNick! 15:57, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think most people would agree that the above is correct, rather than the policy. We should probably fix the policy instead. Jackmcbarn (talk) 20:44, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be against it at the moment. The reason I protected it is because this page is constantly targeted by a sockpuppet who has been socking Wikipedia for 8 or 9 years now.

Question: why does it need to be downgraded? It's not a very complicated template, it hasn't been edited for nearly four years, and it has 140k transclusions—which could put a significant strain on the server, or have a siginifcant effect on a lot of articles if it's badly edited. This suggests to me that it should remain fully protected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:04, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is a very widely used template that should not need to be changed often or ever. Any change would result in a large strain on the servers as HJ Mitchell points out. I think it should remain as is unless there is a consensus for a specific change. Chillum 16:08, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's actually already protected at the  Template editor level and this is just a request for someone to finish the job and remove it from cascade protected. There is also currently an edit protected request that I'd like to be able to take care of. The argument that it is highly transcluded is actually an argument for TEs to be able to edit it. Thanks. — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 16:26, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not done. For two reasons: First, I think high-transclusion templates which need to be edited only very infrequently should remain fully protected to ensure that admins put careful thought into edits, whereas some TEs are too prone to drive-by edits and edits for their own sake for my liking; and second, the edit request was declined after being reviewed by three admins, all renowned for their technical abilities. This suggests no pressing need for it to be edited (and a TE who implemented an edit three admins had refused to make would likely have the right removed).

Multiple Articles with same criteria

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism, or at least uninformed changes that are a serious nuisance while I try to complete these pages. The pages were approved by multiple editors, then one pops up and started deleting references left and right, requesting references and deleting material that had already been largely approved by multiple editors! It is especially important to get AT LEAST temporary semi-protection because these people work at universities and are subject to attacks from disgruntled students and faculty whom they have had to deal with AND their positions as editors of a prominent scientific journal exposes them as targets for disgruntled authors whose papers were rejected. These are real problems, and a serious threat to the integrity of these pages (and the pages I intend to create after these are refined). If a stronger type of protection is possible, I would be very appreciative of receiving that instead at least temporarily so I can get these into shape, then if editors think something should change, maybe they could only request the change to me instead of deleting things. I had a very informative academic geneology written up that was well cited, and an editor deleted it calling it nonsense. Well, its not nonsense to anyone who is evaluating the stature of academics. It is EXACTLY one of the KEY ways we evaluate academics outside of their research productivity and teaching prowess71.50.25.97 (talk) 18:45, 10 February 2015 (UTC)herpetology2[reply]

I learned on Reddit that an article about Nicholas Edward Alahverdian that is currently protected (these redditors are apparently so paranoid they are saying that admin User:Kinu is the subject of the article) ) is now the target of planning to spam and bombard it with false edits today at 20:15 UTC which is when protecting the page will end. Proof: http://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/2vamxv/wikipedia_deleted_letter_to_a_ces_director/

The bar for notability is not as high as they expect: If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. (from WP:NOTABILITY). In practice, sustained news coverage of an individual pretty much guarantees notability (in the wikipedia sense). As a side note, the fact that an article might read as self-promotional is not grounds for deletion. If the subject is notable, then the article can be tagged and (hopefully, eventually) fixed.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Pornhub is one of the most visible pornographic websites on the internet. Vandalism has been persistent and aggressive over months by multiple users. There are lulls in the vandalism sometimes, but on a topic such as this, it should be self-evident that vandalism is imminent and thus makes sense for it to be protected. In fact, there have been very little productive edits by non-autoconfirmed users. Multiple sysops have been reverting vandalism/addition of unsourced information/other types of wikivice. ceradon (talk • contribs) 03:18, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Every Friday the Thirteenth, this article is the target of vandalism, and legitimate editors spend a day playing whack-a-mole trying to revert the vandalism. By the time it gets protected, the wave has passed. Although we don't preemptively apply protection, this is not really a preemptive request; it is based on consistent patterns of vandalism in the past. If you pick any Friday the Thirteenth, you'll see the pattern (except for a couple where it was semi-protected).

Please semi-protect the article through at least February 14. If possible, since there is another Friday the Thirteenth in March, semi-protect through March 14. Thanks. TJRC (talk) 01:41, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is untrue. A registred user went over 3R today. Semi-protection is unreasonable, it needs full protection. The registrered user is adding disputed images that where not on the projectpage prior to the conflict on the talkpage.

Would an admin unprotect Kirby Delauter and move Draft:Kirby Delauter to Kirby Delauter? See this close of Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Review of Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 January 8#Kirby Delauter and Draft:Kirby Delauter by Spartaz (talk · contribs) (thank you, Spartaz, for reviewing and closing the discussion):

This discussion has stalled. As far as I can see there may be disagreement here about whether the article should hae been deleted but there isn't a killer policy based argument that the delete aspect of the DRV as closed was wrong. Where I am seeing a lack of consensus is around whether the salting should have been reinstated. As the salting was part of the original deletion is is certainly in RoySmith's ambit to reinstate this with the endorse finding but, on challenge, we do not have a clear specific consensus. As such, and bearing in mind that DRVs remit is deletion not salting I think the consensus is that reinstating the salting is not an enforcable provision of the DRV close. What does that mean? It means that any admin can unsalt this without needing to see consensus on the point. The only reason I have not done this myself is because there appears to be a risk of BLP issues to consider and I have not got the time right now to research the question to determine if there is a BLP risk from the unsalting. This does not preclude someone who has got that time from doing so.

Request reconsideration: This has been an ongoing issue with this anon user over six months as he/she employs multiple sockpuppet IPs to make massive unexplained deletions. As soon as the page comes off of protection he/she does the same thing again as can be seen in the page history. THIS PAGE HAS ALREADY BEEN PROTECTED FOUR TIMES BEFORE IN TH LAST SIX MONTHS (on August 24, 2014 for four days, September 4 for one month, October 7 for one month, an November 7 for three months) FOR THIS VERY SAME REASON. . This pattern clearly indictates that this anon user will continue engaging in disruptive editing again now as well. Centpacrr (talk) 01:21, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Would someone be willing to speedy and salt this? It was created by a new editor who wants to show that FGM does not cause sexual dysfunction. He used a primary source to support his point, in violation of MEDRS, and copied the abstract word for word, which made it a copyright violation too. This is an important issue, and any article on it has to be MEDRS-compliant from the start. There is background discussion at Talk:Female genital mutilation#Hanny Lightfoot-Klein.

Indefinite full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Page was deleted via AfD and should have been full protected. It was, in fact, but a series of unilateral actions voided the protection. Dave Dial (talk) 04:26, 21 February 2015 (UTC) User:DD2K nominated the article for speedy deletion then immediately deleted it without any discussion. I was working on a substantially different article than the last known article which picked apart and then nominated for deletion by the editors who tore it apart. I contested his deletion on the article talk page and continued to work on the article and DD2K quickly re-nominated it for speedy deletion and then again without discussion quickly deleted it again. DD2K was also involved in the article previously by his edit log. [34] He is edit warring instead of discussing the merit of deleting the much improved article.

The article has been protected for almost two weeks now due to the subject being involved in a real world dispute with a radio host.

Wikipedia could not have been created if such users kept interfering with every credible change on every article, and this must stop.

Unprotection: This request is being submitted on behalf of an IP who complained on the talk page:

There's no excuse for keeping an article protected for so long. This article reeks of the kind of accumulated errors that would otherwise be fixed up by IPs. Afraid of vandalism? Tough it out. Every other article has to deal with it. When vandalism is done, UNDO IT and move on! Don't go crying for permanent protection you babies. Only a very few special-case articles are actually subject to actual long term "persistent vandalism". This isn't one of them by a long shot. It's time to remove the protection and grow some.

I've got a few good valid corrections to make, but I'm not going to make an "edit request" here on the talk page like a pantywaist. Nor will I be bullied into making to an account and autoverifying just to satisfy you little brats resting on your semi-protection. It's obvious, given the state of the article, that I'm not the only one to refrain.

There is no validity to an argument that a little vandalism four freaking years ago is reason to believe a problem still persists. If there really is persistent vandalism. Prove it. Verify it. Compare it to other articles. Show us before implementing a stinking INDEFINITE semiprotection and then resting on it for FOUR YEARS!

Remove the semiprotection and you will surely get some vandalism, maybe even more than average, but you can deal with it like every other article does. It'll be nothing you mamby-pambys can't handle.

@SarekOfVulcan:, please look closer. The headline reads "Report: Yoan Moncada to Red Sox".

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This is one of those articles that attracts very sporadic vandalism, but very few good IP edits. It's very prone to speculative edits from IPs. Granted, there's been only a couple in the last couple of days... but the last time there was a constructive IP edit was probably a few months ago.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of the same erroneous information over and over to the top paragraph, mostly by anonymous IPs, often with poor grammar and spelling. A little background on a ridiculous topic that nevertheless merits an article: the inaccuracy added over and over is that the term "adamantium" appeared in the film Forbidden Planet. This replaces with an error the proper credit to the concept's creators found at the top of the article. No doubt due to previous problems, the article already explains how the word "adamantine" predates the word "adamantium", the centuries-old origins of the former term compared to the recent origins of the latter, and finally, the specific information that the word "adamantine" is found in the film Forbidden Planet, not the word "adamantium". (The word "adamantium", as far as anyone knows, was never written down by anyone anywhere until 1969, thirteen years after "Forbidden Planet" was released.) Goofy stuff, I know, but what's even more ridiculous is that I have had to revert this exact edit, with little variation, four or more times since I started paying attention to the page in recent weeks (depending on if you count reverts of multiple additions of the same error). Some folks need to be trained off the idea of drive-by additions while improvements commence. I can rule out the talk page as an approach because apparently addressing the confusion in the body text itself isn't enough to stop the issue, so the drive-bys also result in contradictory information in the article.

Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – This article has been locked down since early September based on an interpretation of BLP which is under legitimate dispute.

And while there are potential BLP issues here, the admin applying protection was and is quite obviously very involved at the article.

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. The locking admin "fixed" the problem of missing ref warning (which appeared after he locked the page for everyone) by allowing a potentially disastrous edit/reference to stick for at least a week (the length of protection). The added reference is to a gossip website www.doznajemo.com (Bosnian for: This Just In), on their allegedly exclusive access to new census data in Bosnia. This is a country article, and the false info has been placed in the Infobox. The census data are sealed by the government and international peace implementation council so it's highly unlikely that a little known website would have the census data. It's the first census since before the bloodshed of 1990s, and their "exclusive" information would have the extremely sensitive balance of ethnic groups heavily disturbed to one side (ethnic group). Please lower the protection so that confirmed users can edit, or remove that sensationalistic edit and revert to the CIA World Factbook reference.

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It seems like there have been some useful IP edits to the article in the past, but hopefully this will curb the current disruption. If it resumes afterwards, it can be protected for a longer period. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 20:49, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Permanent Semi-protection: Very prominent pop culture article. Draws a very high level of IP vandalism. Almost every edit is either vandalism by IPs or new, vandalism only accounts, or the reversion of vandalism. Previous periods of semi-protection have been insufficient, only temporarily helping, as the vandalism resumes almost immediately after the protection ends, not because of particular editor(s) awaiting it's end, but because it's the sort of prominent pop culture article that is inherently highly visible, similar to other properties like Batman and Spider-Man, both also permanently semi-protected. TL;DR version: the TMNT are so visible and well know, the article inherently draws vandals. Temporary semi-protection "until it calms down" isn't really helpful as it will never call down. Every other edit is vandalism. Needs to be permanently stopped. oknazevad (talk) 12:58, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There are good edits from unconfirmed users, however infrequent, but unfortunately I don't think pending-changes protection is a best fit here. Taking incremental duration periods is simply by philosophy. We can always re-protect. — MusikAnimal talk 18:19, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Full protection: A single editor (Zoupan) with seemingly Serb-nationalist agenda keeps rev'ing and misusing all sorts of tags in this article on Bosnia's founding father, while reshaping the entire content on his own (Talk is empty yet he keeps referring to Talk at another page where he contributed 1-2 entries of nearly 100). Please restore to earlier stable version before protecting. Sevvyan (talk) 05:54, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sevvyan (talk · contribs) is trying to duck the NPOV at Boris Kalamanos (which was full-protected due to his edit warring) by instating his POV and OR into this article. He is clearly incivil in his comments. I have not misused "all sorts of tags", but added 'Under construction'. I referred to Talk:Boris Kalamanos as it is where the problem is adressed (whether Boris and Borić were one and the same person).--Zoupan 07:28, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Example of tags other than just "Under construction": "Verify section". This user is clearly not telling the truth, and is trying to minimize his misbehaving, while still refusing to discuss substantial changes he's trying to make, in Talk first - there he placed 1 sentence in which he declares(!) no consensus. Sounds unbelievable, but we now have a discussions-free Talk with just 1 sentence by 1 editor stating "no consensus"... Sevvyan (talk) 12:40, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. As far as I can tell Zoupan is an established editor in good standing so I don't see any particular need to fully protect the article from them. Any editor has the right to fully rework any article as long as they're not causing disruption or violating our policies and guidelines. If you feel it's controversial, discuss it with them, or start a discussion at a place where you can get additional feedback from other editors or form a consensus to prevent the change if need be. If policy's blatantly being violated, you can report the user at WP:ANI (although this will backfire if you're found to be in the wrong). Swarm X 02:36, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Either full protection for a day or two or the edit warring editors need to be issued a block. Gloss 19:00, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note, right after I posted this the page was semi protected. That prevents the IP from edit warring but not the other user doing so. Gloss 19:02, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not done The page was semi-protected not because of the edit-warring, but because the IP edits were deemed disruptive by the protecting admin. In other words, Tomica had been vindicated of edit-warring and no further action is warranted. Taking no stance here, just procedurally declining this request as it has already been dealt with by another admin. Swarm X 02:09, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's been nearly 4 years. not sure what the original reason was but maybe now time for an open editing experiment? last user to touch protection settings has a user page marked retired. user before that has 1 edit in the last 12 months. --Jeremyb (talk) 15:58, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Last time we did this type of experiment back in 2010, vandalism was still high with upto 10 reverts a day so what's changed? It's too big a target, time spent protected shouldn't be used as a justification for unprotecting (nor should "we're the encyclopedia anyone can edit", it's only true in spirit), geography has yet to vanish from schools and kids remain bored by it. tutterMouse (talk) 17:23, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
there's some cases that are obvious targets like Uranus, certain anatomical terms, controversial topics like creationism, etc. But I don't see a reason like that for geography to have a big target on its back. maybe I'm just missing something. anyway, I'll keep an eye on it and will see first hand if it's an issue :) --Jeremyb (talk) 03:58, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
