Unprotection. Was protected back in 2012 and has been edited quite slowly since. A new user came in to IRC today wanting to make constructive changes to the article, but couldn't due to the protection (and yes, I know, they can submit a request, but that's not quite the same as getting to do it yourself :) ). Protecting admin Qwyrxian is inactive. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 20:14, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism that resumed as soon as last semi expired [1][2]. Brianhe (talk) 16:20, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Brianhe, every edit you disagree with is not vandalism. NeilN talk to me 18:27, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I realize that. This was weird, with a user claiming that their proprietary latitude/longitude information shouldn't be published on Wikipedia, and they even made a DMCA takedown of information from their website at Internet Archive WebCite (apparently claiming by the way that WP is not a scholarly/fair use) which I was unaware of on this last iteration, hence the label "vandalism". By the way I also engaged them [3] with the comment that if it's that important, they should make a case for oversight -- all the info they don't like is till in the article history. In any event, I'm going to put down the stick now and let this article become whatever it will become. – Brianhe (talk) 21:33, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Brianhe, I believe it was the link they were objecting to, saying it linked to a copyright violation. Lat/Long are obviously not copyrighted so all that is needed is a source. --NeilN talk to me 04:43, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not to beat a dead horse but the source I used was was the Zaqistan website itself (author Zaq Landsberg). I believe that one of his associates decided to not only remove the page from his website, but also complained to WebCite that Wikipedia's use of the archived page was a copyright violation by a non-academic work (IANAL but I understand from their FAQ that such a claim by the site owner is required to remove a cached citation). It's this last part that disturbs me and I think sets a very bad precedent for effectively denigrating Wikipedia's importance as a neutral public resource in the eyes of third parties like WebCite, and censoring its content. — Brianhe (talk) 05:19, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like we prot-conflicted, and both prots were granted.

I've watchlisted it anyway, so revisiting in two weeks is no problem either. Samsara 17:43, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The IP is a block evader, rangeblocked (see Special:Contributions/2600:1005:B045:17C9:E508:6330:3D4:2C77) for repeated disruption on multiple articles. Thomas.W talk 18:58, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So instead of letting admins review and protect the article as before, you want them to ignore and ban the other user? Sounds like you KNOW you are wrong.
And reverting is allowed if the other members are ignoring the guidelines, or vandalizing. As an admin already locked the information in another entry as legitimate, you and others cannot somehow attempt to quote IMAGINARY guidelines as if the admins dont exist. Do you think you are really making a valid edit if the admins have already stepped in to protect the information from removal on other articles?
You and your brigade have shown blatant disregard for guidelines, INABILITY TO EVEN READ WHAT HAS BEEN POSTED, making false accusations, ignoring admin decisions on other articles, or precedents on nearly every article of its type. You and others have repeatedly quoted non-existent guidelines.
And one member even mistakenly posted a message on the wrong account, revealing his sock puppet.
As the guidelines state, two wrongs do not make a right. You and the other members are equally responsible for your own actions. You cannot complain about others following admin decisions in other articles by ignoring the admin decisions completely and making up your own guidelines. Do you think the admin will just come in and do a complete 180 because you imagined something which is not even stated in the guidelines?
And ALL mobile devices change IP every time they connect to another tower. You cannot go around accusing EVERY mobile user of being an IP skipper. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1005:B015:551B:D102:A5B9:8A01:370E (talk) 20:34, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tangled

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated addition of uncited information regarding a sequel to the film, which has not been announced in any way, shape or form by Disney. Almost all edits coming from IP addresses, so semi-protection for a short time (maybe 2 weeks) should prompt them to go elsewhere. McDoobAU93 20:30, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – There has been surge of disruptive editing at this article by SPAs and IPs in the last few days.

Semi-protection: This article has been the subject of IP genre-warring for years, i.e. the frequent removal of reliably sourced entries.

  • I'm out of practice so I'm not declining it, although I'm inclined to, but have you tried talking on the talk page of the article? Or discussing with the IP editor? It seems to me that what they're trying to add is not vandalism, nor is it incorrect. fish&karate 12:14, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Declined, Protection isn't necessary if it's just one IP/editor. Actually engage them on conversation rather than templating their talk page. If they continue, then report them to AIV or 3RRN GedUK  13:30, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I gave no rationale because there is no rationale for the protection in the first place. -- Taku (talk) 10:26, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the logs there's plenty of rationale, little more digging shows there's been several AfDs for articles relating to this person, the most recent one being the one which actually resulted in protection. If you do want unprotection then you may need to write up a draft which'll confer notability reliably as it's unlikely it'll be unprotected otherwise. tutterMouse (talk) 11:36, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Don't. The Buddy(l/r)oid issue is a long standing dispute that Ryulong continues stoking by proxy despite his ban and for which the "l" side claims to have consensus, which I don't see. This does not meet any definition of vandalism and if edit wars persist, the warring parties should be the targets of enforcement, not the article. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 06:51, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Inappropriate IP edits inserting unsourced/poorly sourced/contentious negative material. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:26, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. NorthBySouthBaranof, you need to be careful with your reverts. Some admins including myself would not consider that a BLP violation. NeilN talk to me 04:39, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@NeilN:, it is unquestionably a BLP violation. The edit intentionally misrepresents the sources, because the sources do not say "King says" his racial heritage is something, they state it as fact in the source's voice. It is not a POV to be attributed, it is a sourced statement of fact. Misrepresenting the sources to weaken the sources' statement of the fact of his racial heritage is clearly is intended to depict the subject in a negative light re: the long-ago discredited and dropped claims that King was lying about his race. Intentional misrepresentation of reliable sources to depict a living person negatively is the very root of what the BLP policy is meant to protect against. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:44, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mercury's (hypothetical) moon

Full protection: a registered editor has persisted in making edits that cite a 2012 article for statements added about data analysis conducted from 2013 onward, thus muddying the page. I've tried three times to engage the editor through talk pages to discuss the fact that, while the statement is likely correct, "likely" doesn't work for Wikipedia and we need a source cited that supports the statement (and we can't cite a 2012 article to make statements about data analysis conducted the year after it was published). Since the editor seems to resist discussion of the issue, I can only recommend that the page be locked to prevent further disruption. I'm open to other solutions as well.

The True Furqan

Semi-protection: This page seems to be vandalised by IPs on average about once a month, sometimes more often. I think it is likely to continue to attract vandalism (by those offended by this book) into the indefinite future. Given that, I think semi-protecting the page would be wise, and reduce the workload on other editors who have to clean up the mess afterwards. (And I've noticed, some minor errors had crept into the article, due to mistakes made in fixing vandalism.) SJK (talk) 21:13, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I think whatever is done here, it needs to be indefinite/permanent not just for a few weeks or months. If you don't feel indefinite semi-protection is appropriate, can we do indefinite Pending changes protection instead? SJK (talk) 21:17, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wolverine

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Last month, I requested indefinite pending changes protection to this page, which was granted since the vandalism on this page started again after it was in pending changes protection for a year. At this point, and looking at the recent edits, I don't think that non-confirmed editors are providing any non-vandalism edits anymore. Thus, I am now requesting indefinite semi-protection. (Note to answering admin; if granting this request means that the new level of protection will eventually expire, just decline this request: expiring protections have not worked for this page at any point in the last two years.). Steel1943 (talk) 06:21, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There's only been one period of semi in the past and it was only for 10 days. We should try shorter periods before indef'ing. It's simply the philosophy. We can always re-protect if needed — MusikAnimal talk 18:14, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Peacock-and-snake, please discuss with the user. It's a single IP so they should get the message. kelapstick(bainuu) 11:48, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, kelapstick, thanks for your reply. However, I'm a bit confused as to why you only mentioned one IP. So far, 213.130.115.162, 94.200.20.251 and 94.200.20.179 (who is, indeed, responsible for most of the edits) have all been involved. There is also the newly created Enterthevoid8888 who made exactly one edit, the removal, and hasn't been active since. It's the 5th time it's been removed in roughly 2 weeks, using 3 different sources (if you count 94.200.20.251 and 94.200.20.179 as being the same). I've also asked them repeatedly to at least provide a reason for removal, which they have so far failed to do. I don't think I'm being unreasoanble when I see this as disruptive but if you think that I'd best engage with them directly for the time being, I'll do so. Peacock-and-snake (talk) 12:20, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Remove pending changes protection: The vandalism was minimal and occurred over 20 months ago. This article is lightly edited and well-watched. Posted request two weeks ago on the talk page of the admin who placed protection. [42] No reason given for continued protection. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:F05D:49AD:7B3C:978C (talk) 03:15, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: From the article's edit history, it seems that there were some reverted edits from an anonymous editors in June and July of this year, and October of last year. Also, this request seems more like an attempt to bypass protection based on a content inclusion dispute; see the last two sections on Talk:Bowhunting. Steel1943 (talk) 06:42, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the last sentence - that's incorrect. The disputed text was agreed upon and added weeks ago. As for the rest, a few instances of revertable text do not justify indefinite protection, especially on a non-BLP article. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:F05D:49AD:7B3C:978C (talk) 11:37, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not unprotected I don't see why the PC protection should be removed. It's the least restrictive form of protection we have, the protecting admin has not given permission to unprotect, and the recent dispute doesn't convince me at all the unprotecting would be in the best interests of the article. --Biblioworm 20:29, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The protecting admin has not even responded to the request. Protection is not intended to prevent routine editing disputes, as happened recently. The protection had no impact on that dispute, though note that the protecting admin was a part of that dispute. Protection is not intended to prevent routine editing disputes. The reasons for pending changes protection, per WP:PCPP, are: persistent vandalism, violations of the biographies of living persons policy, and copyright violations. "Persistent vandalism" doesn't mean a few times a year. Indefinite protection is entirely inappropriate for this article and is a violation of the clear policy language. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:F05D:49AD:7B3C:978C (talk) 22:36, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

{{RFPP}} — MusikAnimal talk 18:16, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@MusikAnimal: Are you aware that the supposedly still-ongoing edit war has stopped (except for an editor who realized and reverted himself) pending two debates on noticeboards,[43][44] in which an administrator (the only class of users now allowed to edit the article) is implicated? LjL (talk) 18:37, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm protection still seems justified, given the number of editors we are working with. I wouldn't worry about the one admin in particular taking control somewhere they are clearly involved. Protected edit requests can be made and implemented accordingly — MusikAnimal talk 18:40, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Edit warring had stopped, though. We're all talking, in three places (talk pages and two noticeboards). Why did the article really need to be locked down so tight? LjL (talk) 18:47, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not done Back down to semi. See the talk page. Thank you for your understanding — MusikAnimal talk 19:17, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@MusikAnimal: So by editing articles, I can stop them from having full protection applied? Or any admin, for that matter? Please clarify, as the rules for editing fully protected articles are quite clear afaik. Samsara 19:29, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure if I follow you? Articles are subject to full protection when multiple confirmed accounts engage in edit warring. It is a means purely to prevent disruption (edit wars make the wiki look bad!), not protect the "right" version. Fully protected articles can only be edited by admins, but any admin in their right mind will not edit it if they are involved in the dispute. Mind if we take this to Talk:Killing of Cecil the lion? RFPP isn't really meant for discussion — MusikAnimal talk 19:33, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think the "not having discussion" horse has bolted. LjL complained in multiple venues that I am the only recent editor to the article who can still edit the article, and insinuated that I would do so. However, the rules for editing protected pages are quite clear, and there could be no reasonable assumption that I would contravene them. LjL used his allegation as the reason for requesting unprotection, and you honoured the request, which can be seen as confirming his allegation that I would edit a fully protected page to my "advantage", but more worryingly it creates a new precedent where any page that has been recently been edited by an admin cannot be fully protected. This does not seem to be in the spirit of the policy. I just also saw that another admin view on this has already been posted. Samsara 19:55, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds like we're jumping to conclusions. To justify my actions (which I think are being questioned?), I assumed you wouldn't edit the page while it was protected, which I believe I made clear. The fact you were involved played no factor in my decision making. LjL's argument for unprotection was that the edit war had ended, or at least that was my interpretation. The idea that any page that an admin has recently edited can't be fully protected is, as you know, completely false, and I hope LjL knows that too. I don't see how that conclusion can be drawn from this. I was merely trying to reach a compromise of opening the article up for editing (ideal) and controlling the edit war (a must). — MusikAnimal talk 20:40, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for clarifying. Samsara 20:43, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think it was the combination of one admin being involved in the edit war and the fact that the edit war seemed to have stopped that, put together, gave me a sense that the protection was unjustified and sent the wrong message. LjL (talk) 20:47, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@LjL: An admin being involved in the dispute has nothing to do with requesting protection/unprotection, ever. Do not worry about that. — MusikAnimal talk 21:01, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I saw a lot of activity, but no obvious vandalism and few plain reverts. Can you be more specific? --Stephan Schulz (talk) 20:25, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Context: 1. it's a 1RR - so tricky for editors to not accidentally go over with this current event. 2. The 99% unconfirmed dead issue means there's two valid states that flip-flop [50] [51] 3. [52] 4. it's sustained - have another look. Widefox; talk 00:09, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'll second Widefox's request, as I've been reverting a number of IP changes along these lines. Current Talk position, stated by an editor who has been following the Emwazi situation for a while and who (as far as I can see) has been correctly applying BLP/accuracy with respect to the numerous reports over the past year or so, is that it's unconfirmed, so shouldn't be in as a fact yet.

Unprotection: From indefinite semi-protection to unprotected. Protection was applied on October 1, the article is far quieter now, little justification for continued protection. Protecting admin has done about 60 edits since I requested unprotection on their talk page. I have a non-trivial edit that I need to do so I can move on. Thanks. 72.198.26.61 (talk) 16:59, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Unfortunately, given the sheer number of edits and that this is a current and developing event I don't believe that unprotection would be the best idea at the moment. Until then you can make an edit request on the talk page. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:37, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, that's a departure from what has been my (2+ years) experience with semi-protection in articles like this. I've found that we try to remove protection as soon as there is no known threat, to err on the side of underprotection. Remember, the protection was applied on the day of the event, over six weeks ago. Like I said, relatively quiet now - 100 edits in the past month - 18 this month - 0 in the past five days. We can certainly re-apply protection fairly easily if unconfirmed users suddenly descend and wreak havoc. And, no, I can't make an edit request because, as I said, my edit is non-trivial. It's not "please insert this text after this text".
Will another admin take a look at this please? 72.198.26.61 (talk) 13:30, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cascading protected templates

Indefinite full protection: Please revert the "protection downgrade" from permanent protection to template protection. This page is cascade-protected; a cascade-protected page with template protection creates a misleading "edit" option on the page when no one (except admins) can actually edit it. Steel1943 (talk) 19:45, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Steel1943: Can you explain why this template requires "full protection," when "template protection" -- edits limited to administrators and template editors -- has obviously been adequate protection since 2013? I believe situations such as this widely used template are exactly why template protection exists. Qualified template editors may still make revisions, and editors may make edit requests on the template talk page. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:55, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Template editors cannot edit a cascade-protected page, even if the page has template protection. Steel1943 (talk) 19:59, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I now understand your request: you want to remove the cascade protection, leaving only template protection, correct? BTW, weirdly, I edited your request for Template:Birth date and age, not this one, but my edit posted here. I have encountered this problem from time to time in the past, when the displayed "edit" button for one section opens an edit dialog window for a different section on the same page. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:08, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Dirtlawyer1: Actually, the exact opposite. I'm requesting that "full protection" be "technically" put back on the template since having a "template protection/cascading-protection" combination causes a glitch with Wikipedia's interface, giving template editors a "edit" option on the page when they actually cannot edit the page. I have no opinion on wherever or not the cascading protection should be removed. Steel1943 (talk) 20:11, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Steel1943: I think this is unnecessary. What if the templates are removed from the list of cascading protected items? Then we'll get another RFPP to downgrade to template protection. We're not changing anything by fully protecting it. A misleading edit button is trivial. NeilN, any thoughts? — MusikAnimal talk 21:33, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
When I saw the mass nominations I stopped and asked Fuhghettaboutit what they intended. [56] Waiting for an answer. --NeilN talk to me 22:05, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) @MusikAnimal: I have to respectfully disagree with this for a couple of reasons. For one, this method, and this point, seems a lot more effective than requesting an interface update, given my experiences with that (cannot find a diff for the life of me right now though.) And two, if cascading protection is also meant to move protect a page, that is bypassed when a page has template protection/cascading-protection; I have the template editor right, and for some odd and probably unintentional reason, I don't have the ability to edit these pages, but I can move them. If cascade-protection is supposed to do what it is intended to do, placing template protection on it as well causes several software hiccups. Either we fix the problem (the interface) or we put a bandage over it until the problem is fixed (fixing the protection settings issue, though it's more like weakly stitching the wound per the "page move" issue I states above). Not doing anything, such as declining these requests, is like saying we refuse to do anything to fix a problem. Steel1943 (talk) 22:11, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, this is more of a flaw (or a bug) in the MediaWiki software (feel free to file a phab report). There must be tons of other templates under cascading protection that still have edit buttons. Should we protect all of those too? What if cascading protection is removed, say when the templates are no longer on the main page. Now the high-risk is gone so I have to unprotect all those templates. I'd rather the reason for protection live on the parent template or page, where the cascading protection was actually applied. — MusikAnimal talk 22:17, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
(e/cx2) When the template editor right was first established, I started changing a bunch of templates from full protection to allow template editors and admins to edit but received pushback here. I'm not sure, but it seems we may have never have had the discussion about lowering the protection level of many templates to allow the template editor right to function. Anyway, I was unaware these templates were using the old cascading protection method. Certainly it does not make sense to have a template say it can be edited when it can't. But the question seems to have become which direction to go: remove them from cascading protection so their current protection level actual matches, or restore full-protection so they aren't falsely advertising the ability to edit by template editors.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:22, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I honestly have no strong feelings, just wanted to share my 2c. My main point is there must be a lot of templates that falsely advertise that they can be edited. It's not just these that have cascading protection. And from a programming perspective, which I know doesn't really apply, I like to think of the single cascading protection on the parent page as the "refactoring" point, whereby the protection functionality exists and can be managed in one place. To be fair, a lot of these templates are probably also used in the MediaWiki namespace and should be fully protected anyway, but for those that are not, protecting them individually doesn't make much sense to me. You still can edit it, who cares if there's an edit button? If you went to make an edit but can't, make an edit request and we'll do it for you — MusikAnimal talk 22:31, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment unrelated to the discussion above (sort of): I've tried a few times to reorganize this section so that the discussion about these templates, as well as the other templates related to this discussion, are "pulled away" from the other unrelated requests so that other admins can answer unrelated requests without having to scroll through this, but I've now received 4 edit conflicts, so I have to give up. Steel1943 (talk) 22:27, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Alright! Done, minus the requests to lower protection. Does Twinkle not let you mass-request protection and format it like this? Or is that yet another thing I have put on the to-dos? =P — MusikAnimal talk 22:50, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    @MusikAnimal: Twinkle does not. In fact, I don't think it is capable of mass-nominating any group of pages since it performs the functions only on the page that is being viewed (and the respective noticeboards/user talk pages as a result). That, and it's a bit helpful to use when editing with the desktop version of Wikipedia on a mobile device. (I was "cherry-picking" through Category:Wikipedia fully-protected templates from the top alphabetically to see which ones needed protection fixes of sorts.) :) Steel1943 (talk) 23:23, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This doesn't seem to be the right forum for discussion of the meta issue, so unless others chime toward a consensus in that we should be removing them from cascading, and since it was an undiscussed change at the time done, in a few hours I'll change them all back to full protection.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:44, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Fuhghettaboutit: No opposition here. Just don't forget about Twinkle's batch protection feature! (Use it on this page and select the appropriate page). Cheers — MusikAnimal talk 01:01, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@MusikAnimal, Fuhghettaboutit, and NeilN: Either way, before this entry is archived, is there any agreement that we may need to move this discussion elsewhere to determine a complete resolution to this ... Especially considering that this list is just "(symbols)-C" on the list? Steel1943 (talk) 02:31, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, hmm, I suppose If there were to be discussion it would be at Wikipedia talk:Template editor (maybe advertising at the pump), but it seems to me this discussion is just a prompt for a different discussion (if at all). Who cares about these few templates. The issue is whether there should be some mass lowering of protection to allow the template editor right to be more functional.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:15, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Fuhghettaboutit: Agreed. If anything, this list is proof that change needs to happen on the template editor front. Steel1943 (talk) 03:20, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Callanecc: I just tried to figure it out as well; I'm still scratching my head; if I had to guess, I'd think the clue is in Template:Admin dashboard somewhere. However, I suspect that the template is used in the ".js skins" somewhere since I don't believe that the aforementioned template is transcluded in all of those user pages. In fact, I suspect my request should be denied, and this template cascade-protected (though I cannot find this template linked on a single "MediaWiki:" page.)

Don't think I ever got the ping... anyway it looks like this is supposed to be substituted, which must be why there's no transclusions. I assume it is the CSS counterpart to {{InstallUserScript}}, and since some user scripts have an accompanying CSS file, this template might be in the installation instructions. Per the current protection rationale, a malicious editor could add code in here that will end up in a user's personal JS, and steal cookies, etc, but I'm not worried about template editors doing that. — MusikAnimal talk 18:36, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to discuss this on the talk page, but the IP replied that he/she should be allowed room to "get creative with history" [[63]]. Due to the way these additions are being presented, I am a little dubious of the impartiality of the sourced writeup, so will be trying to get my hands on these books to verify them as well.

Kim Zolciak

I do not understand why you locked Kim Zolciak. So Tenebrae is superior and can got the page lock. Why not discuss? Tenebrae said "I have an axe to grind" accusing me of negative things about Kim. I think this is ludicrous that one can make accusations and based on that the page is locked. All that I added was and is sourced from interviews, medical licenses, her show, ROdney Ho, court records, and RHOA. My edits have sources and I explained why they needed to have the information. I disagree with the lock of the page. I feel Tenebrae is trying to alter the page to not have information about Kim that she does not like. She has kids with 3 different men, she does not like that but that is the truth. Tenebre also threatened me so for you all to act in his/her behalf seems bias. I would like for you to look. The edits I made were sourced. I added specific information and when Tenebrae said NO i went backed and added sources, which were then called not good enough but they are. For example, as I stated in my edit summaries the house being bought/rented was a plot line of the show and in the media as Kim gave interviews saying she was being slandered; she threatened to sue Kendra Davis for defamation. So Tenebrae wasnt the rented informationout it is is factual and sourced. What I would like is the page unlocked. I will re add my edits. On the discussion page I will explain. Someone from here please mediate the discussion page so there will be peace. All that I added was sourced. What violated BLP. Tenebrae does not like that I put in the rented house and her kids having different fathers but this is factual and sourced. Tenebra accused me of haivng axe to grind, says I know Kim and do not like her. I think Tenebrae knows Kim and is trying to whitewash the article. Since 2011 Tenebrae has been doing so. If you are close or know or represent or work for the article's subject it is not right for you to edit is a rule. I ask that you reconsider. 173.66.63.102 (talk) 15:44, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since you're not bothering to read the pertinent policies you're violating, I'll give you a tutorial based on your edits. You wrote here that:

She claims to have studied nursing at the University of Connecticut; however University of Connecticut grants four year BSN/RN degrees; Zolciak's license is as a LPN, a two year technical school degree.

First, Wikipedia doesn't use accusatory, POV words like "claims". Second, Wikipedia forbids making a POV argument by synthesizing original research. Third, your original research directly contradicts a professional, third-party source, the well-regarded Hartford Courant. The source says she studied nursing at the University of Connecticut; therefore, your removal of the U of CT alumnus category here was inappropriate, as was your edit summary that said, "also we need concrete proof she is a U of Ct alum." No: We need verification from a third-party reliable source, which the Hartford Courant indisputably is.
You say here that her daughters came from two different relationships. But the cited source, a journalistic blog by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, contradicts this: "She was married to a man named Dan Toce from 2001 to 2003 and has two children, presumably his."
As for your claim about "whitewashing," I was the editor who added the information here about her affair, at age 17, with a Hartford police officer. So, no. Wanting to stick with reliably reported facts from journalistic sources and respecting WP:BLP is what we're supposed to do.
I could go over other of your edits, which include disallowed reference citations to personal blogs and tabloid gossip sites, and additionally include medical details that have nothing to do with that for which she is notable. You need to please stop these non-encyclopedic, nonconstructive edits. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:25, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Both parties have notified me. I leave it for a second opinion. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq

(talk), Sunasuttuq 19:41, 15 November 2015 (UTC) Supervisors, please tell Tenebrae to refrain from posting me. After the threat there is no need to now try and back track. I feel this is happening because in truth tenebrae IS connected to Kim thus the whitewashing.[reply]

As far as the article, the links are legit sources. Tenebrae just does not like it. It is Kim's life. As Nene said, she should have closed her legs to married men ! She had kids with many men, accept it! We do not whitewash Madonna so why is Kim whitewashed.

Cambridge, YOU locked the page. For you to now say you leave it to second opinion, where was the second opinion when you locked the page ? Behaviou liked this shows wikipedia is not a collaborative place. 173.66.63.102 (talk) 20:18, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a better option than continuing to re-activate page protection? Please direct me to better venues if you think there is one. LjL (talk) 15:03, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:AFC submission/pending

Indefinite template protection: Highly visible template – This lack of protection for this subpage of the protected template Template:AFC submission appears to be an oversight. This sub-template is widely transcluded (it is used on every AfC submission and then removed after review, so the relatively low current number of transclusions belies its high importance) and there is little utility in making it readily edited. The protection of other sub-templates of Template:AFC submission should also be looked at by an administrator. LukeSurl t c 14:36, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected indefinitely. I don't think there's quite enough recent vandalism to justify any sort of semi-protection; there was a brief increase in frequency recently, but that will probably die down soon. However, the article does seem to be a frequent enough target to merit pending-changes protection. At least readers won't actually see any vandalism, unless a bad reviewer approves it.

Semi-protection until the current season ends in a couple of months. As often happens with reality-show articles, anon-IP fans enter uncited, purported last names of contestants.

Comment Indefinite is far from necessary. A week or two of semiprot would be nice to help filter out edit warring from IPs that are changing the reception section to sound more positive. Review scores are still in flux, but the talk page consensus is to follow sources which show a "mixed or average" reception. Multiple IPs change this back to "positive", and do not response to edit summaries or requests to use talk page. -- ferret (talk) 12:48, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: This page was brought to by attention over at WP:HELPDESK. There is a high level of SPA accounts editing a page which is currently subject to COI editing, subject has admitted to editing own page, and more. He apparently has brought attention to this page through the platform of his podcast, wanting to craft how is image is represented on WP. Since most of the edits recently are IP or SPA, I'd like a 2 week semi-protect to reduce further edit warring, and possible sockpuppet/meatpuppetry. ukexpat and I have jumpped into help work on this page.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This article is consistently targeted by a large number of IP users for vandalism. Since May 2014, of the 500 edits made, 86 edits were reverted and 28 more were "undone", totaling 23% of all edits. In other words, more than 45% of all edits to this article in the time period since May 2014 are either vandals at work or someone undoing the vandals. . — btphelps (talk to me) (what I've done) 00:29, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected indefinitely. This was a rather difficult call; I was a bit uncomfortable with doing indefinite semi-protection, since the last revert was almost two weeks ago and there have been some constructive IP edits in the past. However, there is no question that it's a frequent vandalism target, so I don't think we should just leave it alone. Therefore, I decided to use the intermediate, less restrictive pending changes.

Temporary pending changes: This page is subject to a low but consistent level of drive-by editing, not necessarily malicious in nature, but disruptive in effect; witness just the last month of editing history, which contain ten reverts. Given that it is an important and frequently visited page, these introduced errors are visible to a substantive number of people before they are corrected. Therefore pending changes protection seems appropriate. . Vanamonde93 (talk) 18:50, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm having trouble following your reasoning from recent edits. It looks like the IPs made some rearrangements and fixed a spelling mistake (which you reverted). I don't think it qualifies as vandalism. Samsara 03:26, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The rearrangements violate the ibox linked above and the MOS of TV, which is one of the issues that lead to the page's previous protection.
I'm not familiar with the show, nor do I know which part of the MOS you think is violated. The only problem I can trace to the taxobox is the insertion of a blank line, which is not sufficient reason for protecting a page. Samsara 04:07, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is a group of IP addresses from the Munic area and a named user from the same area that try to add false claims or links/citations to false claims from other people in order to harm cdrtools. The Munic IP addresses are active since many years and last year, there have been several alternative IP/user edits with only a few minutes time difference.

Since nearly three months, there is another group of IP (v4 + v6) addresses from the Oslo area and a named user from the same area that does similar edits.

Please add an infinite semi protection as the harmful activities exist since more than 5 years. Schily (talk) 13:17, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Schily: This sounds like a dispute. Usually we'd require evidence that you've tried to resolve the issues with the other side an they haven't responded or there has been some consensus/admin decision as to what should happen. Alternatively, have you documented what sources they want to insert and why these aren't reliable? Samsara 15:15, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
They are inserting various things. It seems they are careful with not always trying to do the same. There is however a common sense in all edits: trying to harm an OSS project and editing with alternating credentials (IP/user) where the more harmful edits are done via IP access. I have tried to find a solution for this problem since more than 5 years. I collected a long list if IP edits and user edits but if I would violate the WP rule "not outing" if I send this to a WP list. It seems these people or this person knows about this problem. BTW: the person from Munic uses WP just as one of several ways to spread libel against Cdrtools, I have a list of other attacks as well. As it is obvious that this person does most of his attacks anonymously, I am sure that a semi protection could help. You are however welcome to present a better solution. Schily (talk) 15:40, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not asking for an outing. Right now, this is a "word against word" situation. I need a good reason if there's going to be any sort of protection on these articles. Everything I've read so far suggests this is a simple dispute (or set of disputes) and should go to dispute resolution. Samsara 16:36, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This dispute solution was already tried out, but the result was that the person who should be the judge more or less replied something like: "I don't like to read so much information to understand who is correct". The problem with the edits I have in mind is that they are done in a way that looks correct as long as you don't check whether the given sources verify the claim that was made in the article and as long as you don't verify whether the given source is reliable. Today, I removed text that claimed (together with a citation) "these ioctls have been added to the Linux kernel just for cdrecord", but the ioctls in question exist in Linux since April 1993 and cdrecord was ported to Linux in July 1997, which is more than 4 years later and disproves the claim. So there is a general system behind the edits: Add something that looks OK as long as you are not a specialist for the topic and as long as you don't take a lot of time to verify the claims. For the topic cdrtools there is a lot of false claims in the net and if you like to prove or disprove a single claim, you need to check the timeline because the timeline is information that is hard to fake. There are however few people who like to do the work of checking the time line... Schily (talk) 17:35, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please provide links to relevant previous discussions. Also, if reliable sources make false claims, there is nothing we can do. There are no 100% accurate sources, and we unfortunately have to suck it up. Samsara 17:42, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A source that made more than one false claim cannot be seen as a reliable source anymore. The previous attempts have been done long ago, I need to check how to find pointers. Schily (talk) 18:28, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Schily is the author of cdrtools, and sees the other two cd writing programs as rip-off of his work and his enemys. He wants to remove all criticue of cdrecord (here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cdrtools&diff=prev&oldid=692395898 he removes that Linus Torvalds says the SCSI LUN naming scheme of cdrecord is meaningless - with source) and all features that the other programs have (here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cdrkit&diff=prev&oldid=692399337 he removes the cdrkit feature that non-root can burn in 99% of cases.)

Temporary move protection: Page title dispute/move warring – People tend to challenge the current name. Right now there is the RM that bounds to fail this time. George Ho (talk) 17:51, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@George Ho: From the log, it looks like the move vandalism is quite old. Has there been recent move warring? Keep in mind that protection should generally not be used pre-emptively. I'd be more willing to consider long term move protection after the current request has been closed, since it's clear there has been repeated interest in moving this page to a variety of destinations. Unless, that is, you can show that it's been warred over recently, in which case temporary protection would make sense - I looked at this log, which shows no move vandalism since 2008. Samsara 18:25, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Indefinite perhaps? The RM is gonna fail anyway regardless of the time of closure. --George Ho (talk) 18:26, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Move protected indefinitely. I didn't see this discussion, because it apparently started after I had gone to the page and started configuring the protection settings. My reasoning is that there have been many, many RMs and none succeed, so the consensus seems to be that the page should stay at its current title. The policy says that pages can be move protected if there's a naming dispute, and there is a perpetual naming dispute on this page. Biblioworm 18:30, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – This page is subject to a low but consistent level of drive-by editing, not necessarily malicious in nature, but disruptive in effect. Just the last two weeks of editing history contain eight reverts. Given that it is an important and frequently visited page, these introduced errors are visible to a substantive number of people before they are corrected. Therefore pending changes protection seems appropriate. PC was tried previously for six months, and the pattern resumed thereafter, so longer protection might be helpful. .

Semi-protection: Vandalism and hoaxing – After its last protection expired an editor changed it back into a hoax article and the resulting content was left in place for over a year. Maswimelleu (talk) 22:34, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maswimelleu, you say I reverted the changes as an IP. Which was your IP? I see vandalism-reversion by 5.64.228.21 (example), and things haven't changed much since then, aside from the hoax tag and a few additional vandalism-fixes. I just want to know what more needs to be watched-out for, and I don't want to protect it with visible vandalism. Nyttend (talk) 22:47, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This article may need to be nuked. The single source it relies on is unreachable and unknown at archive.org. The person described may not exist. New source: [90] Samsara 22:49, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Maswimelleu: Delete anything you can't find a source for. Samsara 22:56, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, 5.64.228.21 was my IP, although I don't edit from that location anymore. This evening I am going to delete material that cannot be reached at that source. This is likely to transform the article into a stub. Then I am going to remove the hoax tag. I will add the article to my watchlist to see if the vandal ever returns. This is an example of the vandal editing, in which they made numerous references to British culture and redirected the links present on the page to articles such as 'dog' and 'Jimmy Saville' (the deceased paedophile). Maswimelleu (talk) 07:06, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Would pending changes be effective? GedUK  12:59, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That was my first impression as well, before I briefly thought it would need deleting for lack of sources. Right now we have a single source actually accessible. My understanding is that as the individual was given a flag (the event which produced that single source), they are notable as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Notability guide#People. @Maswimelleu: The dog and Saville stuff originated in June 2014 and was never fixed before or during page protection. Samsara 13:34, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, some of the edits were harder to spot on inspection. I became aware of the page because someone called Thomas Haynes was boasting about vandalising it on social media. I only came back to look at it when I realised that the vandalism was reinstated. Most likely they'll eventually come back with another IP and mess with it again. I may just keep watching it to see if the vandalism is reinstated, and make a new request for protection if the vandalism comes back. Maswimelleu (talk) 14:34, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite full protection: Currently on indefinite pending changes due to joke names being added to the list of members (the article being a long-standing joke for this, before it was cleaned up a couple of years ago). But good-faith-assuming reviewers unfamiliar with the context are occasionally waving through edits that add a single name with a fake source, having no reason not to, so this isn't really working.
