Temporary semi-protection: High level of vandalism from IP/unconfirmed users. The vandalism mainly takes the form of a delusion about this U.S. NBC program originating from Singapore, and specifically in Season 3, about a different performer winning the contest (contradicted by NBC's website). Note that seasons 7-9 haven't received this type of vandalism, but I figure they should be included just in case. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 16:16, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have semiprotected the main article, plus season 1-6 and the template. I want to wait with seasons 7-9 until something happens, but I have them on my watchlist so hopefully I'll spot it before someone have to request it here.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Snuggums (talk / edits) 15:58, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Bjelleklang - talk 20:19, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism and IP biased editing – Various forms; for example various IPs consistently removed movie from fantasy genre (presumably influenced by their religious beliefs), no reason ever given. Has occurred numerous times. As well as other forms of persistent IP vandalism such as today; changing a statement of National Media council in UAE from "so we will not release it in the UAE" to "so we are too butthurt to release it in the UAE" etc. Due to religious nature of article, I believe a non-temporary semi-protection would be appropriate, regardless it needs some level of semi-protection. DocHeuh (talk) 15:44, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Good evening.
As much as I'm against censorship - I'm begging you to put some kind of protection to this page. It's being again and again vandalized by both unregistered members and "real" contributors. Wikipedia is NOT the right place for slander, spreading of unproven/untrue information and personal opinions!

Temporary semi-page protection: Persistent vandalism - Certain IP users changing information without giving a specific reason. Warned two users in their user talk pages for vandalism. One couldn't find an article here on why abbreviations aren't allowed in Wikipedia articles. King Shadeed (talk) 12:27, February 28, 2015 (UTC)

FYI, shadeed and others, there's a problem with your request and muzik's action:

1. It is not "vandalism" to edit silly, cluttered abbreviations out of something (which I [new IP address] am not the only person who thinks are silly--ViberSnake thinks someone at One Magnificent Morning has a fixation for them) and then modify some of the next references to make sense after the silly abbreviation is gone.

2. You made your revisions without explanation too, so for you to complain that someone else wasn't explaining is being hypocritical.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The page has been the subject of countless vandalism over the years since this article has been created, especially the vandalism by a user and its socks blatantly adding 5SOS members to the infobox. As the Spice Girls are an all-female pop group, it wouldn't make sense to add a member of an all-male group into the infobox. The page has been protected 3 times, and its last protection period expired around 2 weeks ago, and so an indefinite protection would be recommended. Snowager-Talk 06:01, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done Materialscientist (talk) 06:10, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Seconded. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 08:30, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why do not you go to the talk page and try to sort it out there without protection? This is a high-traffic page right now, already semi-protected, and it is not really desirable to fully protect it now. Additionally, if it gets fully protected for 12h or for 24h, after the full protection expires, the article gets not protected at all, with obvious consequences you can imagine. I do not see any BLP violations in the article, and it means the content dispute can be resolved without blocks and protections.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:53, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Recent 21 day semi-protection recently lifted from this article, but IP hopper from Terre Haute, Indiana, ISP: Frontier Communications IP is still making unsourced, unexplained numerical changes, which was the impetus for the protection. We could try another 21 day stint, but my instinct is that this won't dissuade in the long term. Whatever the choice, the article needs protection, please.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Article has been persistently targeted by single purpose accounts for months. Every few months new accounts pop up and "whitewash" the article, removing all negative commentary. The article has done the rounds at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive833#David_Bergstein, Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard/Archive_73#David_Bergstein and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/LevilRowe/Archive. It all basically comes back to same thing though: new accounts removing all negative (and sourced commentary). It would be best to keep newly registered accounts permanently off the article.

Talk:Gamergate_controversy (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

Content discussion, inappropriate for RFPP
Topic: GamerGate NPOV issues still extremely apparent in unreliable sources

The article still has an issue with its neutral point of view. As far as I can tell, all the sources currently used are anti-GamerGate, and they mainly equate the "GamerGate movement" to the people who are anti-feminism and harassing women in gaming. True enough, that's part of it, but the reason it's a controversy is because there are more parties involved. This is clearly evident from looking at the sheer number of people involved. Though sites considered reliable sources do not comment much about it, assuming the reason is that they have no well-known representatives and are essentially part of a misogynistic movement. A movement with no limitations to enter. Supporting #GamerGate is damning yourself in the public eye, regardless of your actual opinions.

It's easier to report on well-known individuals amidst the controversy who speak their mind in interviews - true or not.

The media doesn't report on speculation in tweets from anonymous sources, even if so-called proof is being put forward in form of email correspondence, tweets and statements from verified individuals, or pointing out contradictions and bias. It's not interesting to the general public without celebrities being part of it. And coming forward as a proponent of the GamerGate movement, even if they clearly denounce the blatant harassment involved in the hashtag, is bound to get hit with harassment from the anti-GG movement, as is also evident when looking at twitter and other so-called unreliable sources. Yet, the media has no qualms in pointing to tweets as their primary source for the harassment they describe. The statements about Phil Fish are deemed noteworthy because it is posted by a reliable source, but the source of that source is again twitter.

Well-known names in game development and game criticism have spoken for the GG movement, saying that it's more nuanced. These names also get harassed, but they are ignored in favour of the GamerGate harassers because they are not harassed for the right reasons. Many anonymous tweeters/forumgoers, whom consider themselves neutrals or pro-GG, are advocating better standards in journalism, less nepotism and more transparency, as well as criticising the way involved parties are treated. These are simply ignored in favour of RS reporting the same stuff, and in the same communities it is suspected that editors deliberately avoid truth behind Wikipedia's "Verifiability, not truth" clause, because they share the collective opinion of the reporting media. The various media are using the very same tweets as we can see, as well as interviews with the involved parties on the anti-side. There are no other sources. Writing controversial pieces using the word and tweets of someone high-profile is both more interesting and safer than making an actual report based on anonymous tweeters.

I think the biggest problem with this article is that it does not clarify that the whole controversy is part of a hashtag movement. A movement with no clear goal. The whole article focuses on two sides: GamerGaters and people who are against GamerGaters. There are more sides, but they are not represented. I will try to show this logical fallacy with an example.

  • *GamerGater A provides proof of nepotism in gaming journalism.*
  • *GamerGater B criticises an individual.*
  • *GamerGater C sends a public death threat to Target A.*
  • * Unknown A sends a private death threat to Target B, who in turn publicizes it by their word of mouth*
  • *SJW A and B claims GamerGater A, B, C and Unknown A all share the same opinion and are all GamerGaters.*
  • *GamerGater D and SJW C claim all SJW share the same opinion.*
  • There are evidently only two sides here, because names.

Here is some data, conveniently going to be ignored because it's not reliable, which suggests that there are more than two sides. Even if the text presents a fair study that is reproducible, the reputation of a source trumps everything on Wikipedia. A "reliable source" would be nice, but it simply does not currently exist.

In order to reach a more neutral point of view, editors need to use the sources they have based on common sense. Why are interviews and tweets by verified YouTube accounts with verifiable voices not reliable? Sure, they represent that individual's opinion, but so do the media in interviewing the affected people. There are interviews with well-known people like John 'TotalBiscuit' Bain, Adam Baldwin and actual GamerGaters, just from a quick search. They back up their opinions on factual observations of statements, experience in the industry and pointing out publicly available information from the actual sources, as the media otherwise does, and represent some of the views of the non-harassing GamerGaters. The only difference is that it's not beefy enough for the typical reliable sources. And that's just it: the media is reporting an obvious, self-verifiable bias based on selective tweets and interviews with those people representing the harassed, yet twitter posts and interviews by verified individuals are not being accepted as a source for anything. Not even their own views, as a neutral or GamerGate supporter.

The most important part to note about GamerGate is that it needs to be defined as an amorphous movement with several sides to it. There are harassers, but there are also people who denounce harassment. There are people talking about nepotism. There are people posting about contradictions and bias in articles and statements. There are well-known names criticising the behaviour of people and organizations in the gaming industry. The article tries to some extent, naming #NotYourShield, but ultimately GamerGaters are all deliberately being condensed into one group - to push the agenda that GamerGate is a unified, volatile group of anonymous harassers. #NotYourShield is being blown off as originating from 4chan, which is true, but ignoring the fact that the intent was always to use it as a legitimate tag: ACTUAL source for all subsequent claims (READ IT). The possibility that it is also being used in illegitimate ways to some extent isn't out of the question, but the intent was never that, and it has been proven several times to be used in legitimate ways.

Also, keep this in mind: Verifiable but not false. -- 2A00:7240:6040:4700:557F:6F4B:42A:1C76 (talk) 18:13, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done This type of edit needs to be discussed on the article's talk page. This is not the proper venue. Nakon 03:01, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Seriously? Isn't that the entire point of talk pages? Why are you even allowing talk pages to be posted here at all then? I just wanted to put it out there for visibility and possible discussion amongst editors, which is why I tried to make it so detailed, and if really needed I'll try request another edit here. Article Talk Pages. -- 2A00:7240:6040:4700:557F:6F4B:42A:1C76 (talk) 05:22, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I know the talkpage is semi-protected (why Nakon missed it, I don't know) so you couldn't post there but the point of this section is to request specific edits be made when the talkpage isn't open to IP editors and the article is also protected, nothing more. If you just wanted to discuss content among other editors of the article then you might be out of luck, this isn't an alternate talkpage for content discussion and you'd be reaching entirely the wrong audience besides, most who edit won't see it and those who will won't be editing the article or aware of the issues most likely. I'm going to collapse your request because it's not related to this part of the wiki. It's not to do with what's being said or limiting visibility, just the length and being off-topic are the issues. tutterMouse (talk) 09:37, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. That's noted. I think what I wrote is important for the focus of the article and not off topic at all, if that's what you meant, as the current RS media is portraying only a selective side of the story. This has been heavily manipulated by editors to create an article that heavily argues for that side of the story, and is in no way impartial to the events that are happening. If that fact can't be brought to light in an ongoing happening then perhaps the article in question should be deleted or hidden until events play out further, as many people come to Wikipedia to quickly learn about such subjects and will leave heavily biased when not being told that there are more sides to the story, even if specifics can't be sourced to RS at the moment. In turn, this leads to more of the same kind of journalism.
If you simply meant that I am off topic for this article, then I am sorry. That said, it's a shame that all articles even remotely related to this event has been locked down. There should be a review system (like this one) in place for these situations. I understand that this won't be cross posted, as such, there's not much to discuss here and this may just be archived. -- 2A00:7240:6040:4700:557F:6F4B:42A:1C76 (talk) 10:05, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: An IP editor, who signs themself "Zapletal", has been serially obnoxious and disruptive at Talk:Lift (force) for several months now, for example:

  • Personal attack back in November last year [5], deleted by another editor.
  • Abusive rant [6], which I collapsed.
  • Abusive rant: [7]. Following my removal of it, some or all was restored: [8] and I then deleted it again.
  • Latest abuse: [9]. Following sanitisation, the abuse was restored with added claim that it was accurate: [10].

I have explained, warned, etc. a good few times with increasing emphasis, but all we are getting is more of the same. FYI this is a slow-burning abuse and chimes in with another issue of long-term WP:RUNAWAY with a registered editor. If the article itself has to be semi-protected too, that is no real problem. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 18:00, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Four user talk pages

Redirect to userpages. These folks have been banned by the WMF, but their userpages and usertalkpages have both been tagged with {{WMF-legal banned user}}, so Category:Wikipedians banned by the WMF has ten entries even though there are just six people who fall into this category. It would be simpler if these four user talk pages were redirected to their userpages, or vice versa. Nyttend (talk) 04:51, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Question: I could alternatively update the template so that this category is only included when the template is on the user's page (namespace #2). Would this work as well? Nakon 04:12, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not really, because then Amorrow wouldn't be categorised at all. Imagine that WMF bans someone else in a few months, long after this request is forgotten. The person doing the tagging might tag the talk page and not the userpage (especially if there's no userpage in the first place), and unlike Amorrow, who's been in it for a good while now (and would get found by an archive.org search), that person wouldn't ever appear in the category.

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. User appears to be acting in good faith. Consider talking to them and explaining what is/is not a reliable source. Doing so through summaries is insufficient, and you certainly can't issue "final warnings" with an edit summary. That IP user aside I'd still decline this as not enough recent activity to justify protection. — MusikAnimal talk 15:14, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – It seems that musician Ashton Irwin's "daddy kink" has stirred up a lot of excitement in the 5 Seconds of Summer fandom.

Jayaguru-Shishya made the same edit on 9 March and I reverted giving the reason in the edit summary.

Trut-h-urts_man: Is there a policy, or anything else, you can cite to show consensus on this?

All sports trades are unofficial until several things happen, including but not limited to the passing of physicals and official confirmation from the teams involved and/or the league. The sources out now regarding this trade use terms like "reportedly" and "agreed", and cite unnamed sources "close to the trade" which are all unofficial.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Talk page history shows that IPs have frequently been making bad faith edits, repeatedly going so far as to fabricate evidence and references, though hardly always stooping quite that low. Recent edits have been reprehensible - editing quotes so that they are no longer accurate, deleting references based merely on, in one case, ad hominem (and counterfactual, at that!) attacks on the author of the reference. Spurious [citation needed] tagging of facts that are already cite-supported, in preparation (based on past behavior) for removing such facts. . Elvey(t•c) 07:04, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose edit protection. This isn't a content dispute, it is just a single editor acting unilaterally against the consensus on the talk page (see Talk:The_Sound_of_Music_(film)#popular_with_people.2C_not_with_industry). The more appropriate venue for dealing this kind of disruption is ANI where a case has been filed. Betty Logan (talk) 19:16, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is an absurd request. Article protection is to promote discussion on the talk page and there already is an ongoing discussion on the talk page for the article.

Dk isn't distorting history in any way. Cao Cao never ruled as an emperor throughout his life. The title 'Emperor Wu of Wei' was given to him posthumously, and is already included in the section for posthumous names and titles in the infobox. The IP user keeps insisting on including a line about how "[Cao Cao] is often portrayed by modern day movies and T.V. shows in both the communist People's Republic of China (PRC) and the democratic Republic of China (Taiwan) as a cruel and merciless tyrant". The references to the PRC and Taiwan are of little relevance to the article, and the fact that the IP user uses terms such as "communist" and "democratic" seems to convey an intention to politicise the article. Besides, not all films and television series to date have depicted Cao Cao as a "cruel and merciless tyrant". Cao Cao (TV series), for example, attempts to portray Cao Cao in a more historically accurate manner. LDS contact me 08:36, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – As per a previous request for a related article, since one of the hosts of Top Gear was suspended and 2 of the 3 remaining episodes were removed from the airing schedule, anonymous and very new editors have been persistently adding OR and other unsourced content to the article, often quite contrary to what has been stated in reliable sources.

Indefinite pending changes: BLP policy violations – Similar to request for Victoria Nuland, which has seen more intense vandalism lately. BLP violations include Jew-tagging and putting in names of minor children, despite no reliable sources. For RK, I request a bit lower level of protection, which may need to be increased. On the other hand, RK has been having this focused BLP-vandalism since 2008.

Indefinite semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Victoria Nuland is being persistently labeled as Jewish, despite a lack of reliable sources, as is her husband Robert Kagan. There has been an upsurge in inserting personal information, such as unsourced information about a specific date of birth and minor children's names. (Readers of newspapers may suspect that this BLP violating vandalism is payback for Nuland's public criticism of the Putin regime in Russia and for her support of Ukraine, since she has been more vocal lately.) .

It was protected due to one IP edit sure but it was from a highly prolific vandal/troll who was doing a lot of damage and this was long before the template editor right existed. If anything I'd say the transclusion count could be a case for full-prot given a lot of templates with similar transclusion counts are fully protected but I think TE would be totally reasonable. tutterMouse (talk) 08:21, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Thanks for the 2-day protection, but can we please make it indefinite? Also, the RPP page should be archived normally like other pages. No? Talk page history shows that IPs have frequently been making bad faith edits, repeatedly going so far as to fabricate evidence and references, though hardly always stooping quite that low. Recent edits have been reprehensible - editing quotes so that they are no longer accurate, deleting references based merely on, in one case, ad hominem (and counterfactual, at that!) attacks on the author of the reference. Spurious [citation needed] tagging of facts that are already cite-supported, in preparation (based on past behavior) for removing such facts. . Elvey(t•c) 20:00, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Long-term or indef semi. A couple IPs are making apparently well meaning edits that are largely gibberish, nonsense, off-topic, or break the formatting. There is some attempt at adding refs, but they either aren't actually references, or don't support the edits (except one, from 1931, which might support a claim that the people "are no longer unreached", which is irrelevant for today). Can't tell if this is fraud or simply incompetence. There has been no response on the article or user talk pages. — kwami (talk) 23:02, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Shout Out UK (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

WP:UNPROTECT talk page of Shout Out UK Because the page has serious issues regarding notability and credible sources. For instance when looking at the website of Shoutoutuk.org There is no way to contact them and they do not have any postal address. A discussion should be able to take place whether a website, which it appears to only be, should even be included on WP. This issue should be discussed by editors on the talk page. The page has been subject to recent puffery and vandalism but I don't think this warrants protection of the talk page. Bruneled (talk) 14:08, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(non-admin comment): The page and talk page were recently vandalised about 30 sockpuppet accounts (see [20], [21], https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/IsrealADL], and so this protection is warranted. Also, this request is not correctly formatted. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:12, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Four user talk pages

Redirect to userpages. These folks have been banned by the WMF, but their userpages and usertalkpages have both been tagged with {{WMF-legal banned user}}, so Category:Wikipedians banned by the WMF has ten entries even though there are just six people who fall into this category. It would be simpler if these four user talk pages were redirected to their userpages, or vice versa. Nyttend (talk) 04:51, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

{{RFPP}} I could alternatively update the template so that this category is only included when the template is on the user's page (namespace #2). Would this work as well? Nakon 04:12, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not really, because then Amorrow wouldn't be categorised at all. Imagine that WMF bans someone else in a few months, long after this request is forgotten. The person doing the tagging might tag the talk page and not the userpage (especially if there's no userpage in the first place), and unlike Amorrow, who's been in it for a good while now (and would get found by an archive.org search), that person wouldn't ever appear in the category. Nyttend (talk) 07:14, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Per this discussion (that I just restored from the rolling archive, and the request on User talk:Amorrow it would be easier to simply change User:Amorrow to appropriately use {{WMF-legal banned user}} and then, per Nakon, "update the template so that this category is only included when the template is on the user's page". This would satisfy my request on the talk page (which was originally made so I could do just what Nakon proposes), Nyttend's request to have those people listed only once, and Nakon's idea of adjusting the template. Thank you for your consideration. — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 12:40, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotection: User:CambridgeBayWeather, there was only one editor making a wholesale revert back to an older version. The other editor self-reverted. I just noticed the editor was warned for the wholesale revert by admin User:Mr. Stradivarius. I think it was a bit hasty for the protection since it was only one revert by one editor. There was not enough edit warring for full protection IMO. I don't think the same editor will revert back to an older version after being warning because the same editor accepted that it was not completely necessary to perform a wholesale revert. 3 months protection is way too long. The last protection was for 3 months. That is a total of 6 months for a page where there is currently active research in the field. At least reduce the duration of the protection to a week. There are several sources being considered to improve the page. QuackGuru (talk) 16:55, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I support full protection and oppose any reduction in protection level. The irony is that QuackGuru was the only user to request the last reduction in protection level and then almost immediately went and tried to force through large-scale changes without consensus by making 17 edits in 2 hours, including one vast 9k edit. My wholsesale revert of these edits was considered unnecessary by an admin which is the warning that QuackGuru refers to.Levelledout (talk) 17:36, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Levelledout also supports an indef block of me. This was unproductive for Levelledout to suggest I should be indeffed. Most of Levelledout contributions to Wikipedia are just the e-cig pages. Levelledout clearly wrote "Whilst I didn't consider it edit-warring I do accept that it was not completely necessary to perform a wholesale revert."[22] Let's hope Levelledout will keep his word and not make another wholesale revert. Let's give unprotection a try. One editor making a wholesale revert should not hold up the page IMO. QuackGuru (talk) 17:47, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

With respect I did not have much choice but to say that. Are you claiming that you have never made a wholseale revert and also committing not to make any in the future? I doubt it but lets hope so. Much of what you say is an irrelevant personal attack which I will not be drawn into responding to.Levelledout (talk) 18:09, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'll leave this for another admin to deal with as they see fit. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 18:09, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not done - it's protection doesn't last very much longer, and there's absolutely nothing urgent about unprotecting it. Once unprotected, please ensure that you've achieved consensus for any changes you make to the page given how controversial it's been. Kevin Gorman (talk) 18:35, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
User:Kevin Gorman, are you sure the protection won't last very much longer? The protection expires on expires 08:43, 18 June 2015. That is another 3 months. That is a total of 6 months. I think it is unreasonable to protect the page for this length of time. QuackGuru (talk) 19:07, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Someone pointed out that I misread the date on the protection. I've shortened it significantly, although I'll be patrolling the page post-protection looking to ensure disruption is minimized. I did leave it at ten days: given the scope of disruption that page has seen, I don't think anyone will be harmed by spending ten days to work out issues on talk and have some consensus changes to put in place before it fades. Editconflicted with QG, but he is in fact the person who pointed it out to me privately anyway. Kevin Gorman (talk) 19:10, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would support a longer-term protection of several months given all the problems we've had at this article and endless related ANI threads. It's clear just from the short amount of time that the page was last unprotected that we have not yet reached a point where editors do not routinely try and force through large-scale changes without discussing them. I appreciate that it is possible for an admin to patrol a page, but it may be difficult / time-consuming to patrol for months on end and the problems at these articles are long-term ones.Levelledout (talk) 20:20, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, please maintain full protection of this article. Personally I think it needs substantial changes including a complete rewrite from scratch of the lede, and I think the current version is a problem but it's much less of a problem than open season would be.—S Marshall T/C 23:52, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

True that it serves no purpose but it's also an account that hasn't been used in almost a decade by the original owner and doesn't really affect anything being protected.

Chitrali

Indefinite semi. Ongoing dispute over whether "Khowar" or "Chitrali" is the preferred name, with IPs repeatedly creating duplicate articles, or making copy-paste moves. ("Chitrali" just means "of Chitral", which is ethnically and linguistically diverse, so we've been using the more precise term "Khowar", which is used by ISO and other sources. But we would certainly consider moving the articles if a proper argument were made.)

See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Languages#Khowar_language_or_Chitrali?. I fixed that a couple weeks ago, and just noticed the similar problems with the ethnic article. — kwami (talk) 22:53, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Agreed there is aggressive POV editing going on, but by the requestor Jytdog, not me. (For example, Jytdog requested this page protection after restoring content I'd reverted [the Blaskwiwicz newsletter ref] which contains inherently defamatory unsubstantiated claims of wrong-doing by the Burzynski Clinic, and [according to the article Talk] "This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous." [And I have redone the revert on that basis.] This issue belongs rather at WP:BLPN. The effort here to clamp down to retain on BLP-violating material via page protection, compounds the issues involved, and not in a good way.) IHTS (talk) 19:14, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: several months to indefinite due to persistent vandalism.

From Wikipedia:Rough guide to semi-protection:

  • most of the IP edits to Andromeda Galaxy this year and last have been reverted
  • unreverted IP edits have been minor
  • reversions are from a wide range of IPs
  • the traffic is consistently high
  • the vast majority of the contributions are from registered users.

Seems like an easy decision to me.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅contribs ⋅dgaf)  23:34, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection (again). Page was protected (at my request) for a period of ten days earlier this month owing to the continued introduction of deliberate factual errors by an IP. This has continued following the expiration of the initial page protection period, so a longer period (possibly three months, so it expires just before the qualifier for the tournament in July) is unfortunately necessary.

Not unprotected. The page was semiprotected because of your disruptive edits. If you have any changes to suggest, you can do so on the article's talk page, using the template {{edit semi-protected}}. Deor (talk) 17:59, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You'd rather let that page be written by someone affiliated with Vringo? May I quote you as this being the official Wikipedia policy? 5.12.179.96 (talk) 19:16, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, the page is fine. And you don't have any leverage here if you made disruptive edits to the page. If the protection is reduced, then you'll be able to disrupt the page again. MTG1989 (talk) 20:07, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Seriously, the page is fine? I suggest you remove the "This article contains content that is written like an advertisement" banner, then. You can't if you make disruptive comments here. 5.12.179.96 (talk) 20:38, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Disruptive? OK, I fear that I have nothing left to add to this conversation. Have a great day! MTG1989 talk 01:44, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Deor, silence is as answer, too (in case you thought otherwise). In any way, I've came upon Penelope1114 and I've read their contributions and disclosures. And I think they're an awesome and honest editor. So this is the end of my attempts to change the Vringo page.

Semi-protection: Hello. I previously nominated this article for semi-protection during the GA review process because of frequent vandalism. Since the temporary semi-protection expired, there has been a recent surge in vandalism, and I'm requesting a full time semi-protection. Considering a number of notable Founding Fathers have one (George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, etc. and this article is a GA, I think that it's important to minimize potential vandals. Hope my request isn't too long, thanks for reading! LeftAire (talk) 23:13, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotection: The redirect currently at this title is the result of an AfD closed in 2011. However, this person has garnered notability since then and qualifies for an article by itself. I have a draft of an article located at User:Eventhorizon51/Sam Pepper if anyone wants to review it before it goes live. Unprotection or deletion of this page would allow me to move the article to this title (although deletion may be better since then I could just use the move feature).

Indefinite Semi-Protection: Persistent vandalism. This concerns a recent barrage of edits of an unsourced/contrary-to-source nature by IP editor. These edits mostly pertain to the infobox, where the IP insists on inserting nonsensical GDP data cited (but unsourced) as "Department of Defence" but contrary to existing BEA source. This includes full-year 2015 projections, when Q1 2015 data hasn't even been published.

Another registered editor has already noticed these edits, and attempted to intervene but with no success. It's safe to say the IP (located in the U.K.) won't stop until the article is semi-protected. Thanks. Nononsenseplease (talk) 01:24, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lower to semi-protection: I don't think the vandalism from IP's warrants for infinite template-protection. This will prevent good-faith edits.

I do not want that. The original request was for semi-protection, which is sufficient considering the page history and that it is not a highly visible template. If the policy pages are not fully protected, why should this template be (almost) fully protected. --Pxos (talk) 05:13, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
