Details: Since 3 January 2016, some anonymous users from Turkey are vandalizing a well-sourced article related to Russo-Turkish wars, “Battle of Erzurum (1877)”, by changing the number of Russian casualties from 400-600, which is supported by sources, to unreferenced 3,000-4,000 ([1], [2], [3]), 720,000 ([4]), 725,000 ([5]) and even 850,000 ([6]), despite the fact that these figures have nothing to do with the sources cited and the whole text of the article and are not supported by anything whatsoever.

Not done. NeoBatfreak, what I see is that you and some IPs have a disagreement about content, That does not make them vandals, and protection is not used as a way to help the autoconfirmed user win the argument. I also don't see any attempt to discuss the issue on the talk page, which is what you are supposed to do, or any addition of sources, which is the way to win the argument.

I see that recently at least two edits of non-autoconfirmed users were accepted, one on 18 January and one on 25 December. Whereas it is true that most of such edits are vandalism, the edits are not that frequent, and I believe we should give a chance to non-autoconfirmed users to improve the article.

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – There has been almost 70 edits, most of them reverts, on this page in the last six days. Editors are not using edit summaries, and need to take this dispute to the talk page. Boomer VialHolla 16:53, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined If it is an edit war, it is a very slow one. You have warned, correctly (albeit for 2015 in film), so this is more a question of implementing blocks after reporting at the perinent noticeboards. Lectonar (talk) 20:29, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"List of Converts" articles with galeries

Temporary semi-protection: Due to a current discussion in WP:NOETHNICGALLERIES containing the verbiage "large populations" several users are seizing the opportunity to remove all galleries, specifically in articles having to do with religion. Since a religion is not an ethnicity, nor is religion mentioned in the discussion, I request Temporary semi-protection to KEEP the galleries until the discussion is settled one way or another. Trinacrialucente (talk) 07:24, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. First, there is edit-warring which includes autoconfirmed users from both sides, so that full protection would be required. Second, it is a content dispute, it should be properly discussed, and full protection of the articles is an overkill. And the images would be restored/removed depending on the outcome of the discussion anyway. Try to discuss it with the users first.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:32, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected pages [Edit=Allow only template editors and admins]

Full protection (same time periods): Template protection probably accidental, as it is only appropriate for high-risk templates, modules, and other highly-transcluded pages per WP:TPROT. Evad37 [talk] 02:23, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, but let's ping Harry and CorbieVreccan first — MusikAnimal talk 18:16, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I put List of Power Rangers Dino Supercharge episodes at template protection because it's been plagued with socks, and it's the only thing we have between ten edits/four days (which the sockmaster is gaming with trivial effort) and admins only, but there's no reason somebody trustworthy couldn't edit it if they needed to. You can full protect it if you want, but that would seem to me to be bureaucracy for its own sake. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:57, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Full protection is fine with me. My rationale at the time was the same as for HJ - choosing something between semi and full, for the same reasons. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 19:26, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As a template editor, I wouldn't feel comfortable editing a mainspace article that had been template-protected – particularly if from the protection log entry it appears the admin meant to use full protection. Keep in mind also that there are only 122 template editors (less than one-tenth of the number of admins). The only extra potential edits are if one of them finds a template protected article (I only found these through Special:ProtectedPages), and then decides to edit through protection because they can, even though that wasn't what they were entrusted to do (i.e. not part of WP:TPE or WP:TPROT). So while admins can do WP:IAR protections and template editors can do IAR edits, in my opinion it is so close to full protection that full protection might as well be used. I can see the attractions of something a bit stronger than 10 edits/4 days to stop persistent socks while still allowing a significant number of editors, but I don't think template-protection does a good job of it. - Evad37 [talk] 01:25, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Do we actually need any protection for List of Power Rangers Dino Supercharge episodes? This redirect has not yet been edited disruptively.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:39, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Done sort of. I increased Betty X to Full protection (same duration) and dropped the power rangers redirect to indef semi. Template protection is not used as an in-between for articles/redirects. If the power rangers redirect needs to be increased to full, fine by me, but I didn't see enough to warrant indef full at this time. kelapstick(bainuu) 21:09, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion polling for the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Unsigned edits keep on changing colours (original: "remain" green, "leave" red), but incompletely and inconsistently, making page inconsistent with itself and other wikipedia pages. These colours are used for e.g. the 1975 EC referendum. Last edit chose different colours but made text unreadable. Besides, switching colours would require swapping colours (green always comes before red on Wikipedia), but not done, which denotes vandalism. Verbal abuse from IPs in talk section also denotes vandalism. Requesting semi-protection to stop edits by IPs until solution is found, to keep page as it is and in line with other wikipedia pages.

Coboy Junior

Semi-protection: Persistent problematic edits from an anonymous user with multiple IPs. Diffs: [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28]. At least 5 IPs so far over the last several days, all making the same edit. I'm AGF'ing, but I just can't figure out what this editor is trying to say. The language seems as if they think the subject is a TV show, but it's not...it's a musical group. They're trying to add refs, but they're doing it wrong and the linked refs go nowhere. It seems pretty clear that English isn't their first language, and there may be related competency issues. The same editor has made similarly problematic edits to Despicable Me (franchise) and related articles. I'm hoping temporary semi-protection of Coboy Junior may discourage them from simply re-adding the same text ad nauseum and reach out for assistance (user talk page messages would be futile, as they never edit from the same IP twice). --IllaZilla (talk) 06:19, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Those several IPs were all geolocated to the same town in Pennsylvania, and IP hopping of this nature is generally frowned upon. As for the content, neither school recognizes the game in question as anything other than what it was, a USC victory, and this can be verified in the annual football media guides published by the two schools.

Temporary semi-protection for 1 month.

Please semi. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 06:38, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The page should actually be protected from edit-warring registered users, including the requester here, who insist on keeping unsourced material in the article after it has been removed and after having been "citation needed" tagged for a reasonable amount of time. Ignoring the Wikipedia sourcing pillar is not acceptable. And saying that several editors "are trying to improve the article" is a complete fabrication. They have done nothing to source the unsourced material - they simply restore it, saying that the burden is on me to either source it myself or leave it untouched. 70.124.133.228 (talk) 06:53, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question: CFCF, there was a similar problem yesterday with that IP, but the disruption was a little clearer then. In this case, can you explain why it isn't simply a content dispute? SarahSV (talk) 03:51, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Primarily because the IP is not engaging in discussion, or acknowledging that opinions other than his own may impact the content of the article. This is a continuation of the exact same behavior he was warned and asked not to engage in. CFCF 💌 📧 07:03, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of Billboard Mainstream Top 40 number-one songs of the 1990s

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – This has been going on since just before the beginning of 2016 with this article, with various IPv6 users 2600:1006:b1* as well as users Billyjamesd, Grohlhole and Frankupapa (who are indefinitely blocked as sockpuppets of another blocked user ... see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Никита-Родин-2002/Archive) all altering info about who was #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart. The common denominator with all these users is their replacing whoever is listed with a Green Day song, going against what is said in the references given. I've been following this across at least a couple of Billboard-related articles ... List of Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles in 2005 and List of Billboard Mainstream Top 40 number-one songs of 2005 in particular ... as well as seeing all sorts of vandalism on Green Day related articles for a few weeks ("When I Come Around" and "Wake Me Up When September Ends" for example), and it's getting frustrating to say the least about needing to revert these falsities put in these articles, either by myself or other editors watching them.

Template:POV-check

Unprotection: From full protection to template editor protection (including the move protection). The move protection is the issue (same with the three above). I'm cleaning up stray ungrammatical hyphenation in a few remaining templates in this class, and have run into a handful that can't be moved without admin bits.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  23:57, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done Although this doesn't seem to me to be a move that should be done unilaterally. Is there discussion regarding the move? kelapstick(bainuu) 01:48, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Every time I RM them, they get moved. Every time I list them at RM for speedy moving they get moved. Every time I move them manually, they stay moved. I took this slow for months and months, and there is no push-back. I just moved a bazillion of them, and no one cared. The reasons to move them are that the hyphenation is nonsensical in English (looks like an idea imported from French Wikipedia, since that language uses hyphenation a lot, and French speakers using English do it frequently, like referring to pool as "pool-billiard", a construction that is silly in English); it was very randomly and very spottily applied resulting in most templates (naturally) not having this "randomly hyphenate-some words-but not others-like that" mess; and thus people never being able to remember which were and were not hyphenated, resulting in more and more and more pointless redirects being made all the time so that attempts at guessing which spelling will work will all work. If we just get rid of the pointless hyphenation, people will mostly stop making hyphenated versions. Several years ago there was general move across WP:TFD to move as many template names as feasible to plain-English constructions and away from confusing gobbledegook, at least if they're expected to be used by human editors directly. This is just overdue cleanup in furtherance of that goal.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  02:06, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Russell Wilson

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 14:12, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: There are two issues going on with this article. First, there was some vandalism from IP editors this morning, but it seems to have subsided. Second, there is a content dispute—to which aqwfyj is a party—about Wilson's ethnicity. There is an open RFC about it at the article's talk page. The article was fully protected on 1 Feb because of this dispute. (@Doug Weller: Pinging you so you're aware of this discussion.) I blocked one participant of the content dispute (Nezi1111 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)) on 5 February; aqwfyj only barely escaped a block for edit warring based on his agreement to stop reverting the article for the next 24 hours.
I present all this to provide some history about the article. I'm close enough to the situation that I don't want to act directly here. I would recommend declining this request as written for lack of persistent vandalism. I also don't think the article needs fully protected again. However, fresh eyes would help the situation. —C.Fred (talk) 15:58, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Just to add to this, I made the request again due to additional IP editor vandalism that has occurred since the last request was denied. For a page as visible as this, without semi-protection, IP editor vandalism is fairly consistent from my observation. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 16:05, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not done I protected it due to an edit war. Looking back over the last couple of months, semi-protection would have had little to no effect on the article. Today seems to have been an exception and I see 28 watchers who have visited recent edits, suggesting that normal vandalism can be controlled. Doug Weller talk 19:34, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Trump

Edit semi-protected: The header states that he "earned...support among working-class voters, as well as widespread opposition from Hispanics/Latinos, Muslims, business leaders, and other Republicans," but does not cite a source. This is not the language used later on in the article where it says "...earned him support among working-class voters and voters without college educations amid heavy and frequent controversies in the news media." I think it's unfair to paint him in this way without at least citing a source because potential voters of those groups may read the header and get an impression of him without actually looking into his positions for themselves. My request or suggestion is to change the language in the header to what is said later in the article (which is cited), or cite a source for the original claims. WikiUser2244 (talk) 01:02, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done No specific edit proposed. The article talk page is the appropriate venue for discussion of content. Katietalk 03:25, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My specific edit was to change the last line of the header to what it is says later in the article. I said "My request or suggestion is to change the language in the header to what is said later in the article (which is cited), or cite a source for the original claims." If you can't find a source or if that's not how this process works then my "proposal" is to just change the wording to match. Also, the talk page is also semi-protected, otherwise I wouldn't have posted here. WikiUser2244 (talk) 04:06, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You'd be right, that isn't how the process works. You need to bring what specific changes you want to have made, admins are only proxies for these small edits after all so they can't do anything that requires more than a copypaste or that forwards a specific POV. If you have a different wording for the unsourced sentence in the lede then that probably could be done seeing as it's an unsourced statement, just need to say where it is and what it should read as with cites if you have them. tutterMouse (talk) 06:17, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so I'd like to change the last sentence of the header to read "Trump's politically incorrect, anti-illegal immigration politics, which also concentrated on terrorism and national security concerns, earned him support among working-class voters and voters without college educations amid heavy and frequent controversies in the news media," for the reasons stated originally. The source that cites this is source 200. WikiUser2244 (talk) 14:50, 5 February 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.128.73.5 (talk) [reply]

Restoring as the request wasn't actually done, I would do it but it's a hot button article I'd rather not be involved with. tutterMouse (talk) 11:30, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In short, I agree with the first responding admin that this is a talk page matter. In detail: It should be "anti-illegal-immigration policies"; that's a three-word compound adjective. Needs comma before "amid" (the voters' educations are not what's amid the controversies). Other than that, this seems reasonable wording as far as it goes, but not as a blanket replacement. My concern would be that there are likely other sources in the the article for "widespread opposition from" various demographics. It's not that the lead is making a unitary unsourced claim; rather it is doing what a lead is supposed to do, summarizing various material in the article that is sourced lower down. It's a general principle that stuff in the lead does need to be sourced there but only if it's likely to be controversial or challenged. Anything at all like this is controversial and likely to be challenged, so the lead simply needs the sources for those claims added to it, even if WikiUser2244's particular wording tweak is also used as a substitute for part of it. The only danger would be WP:OR, in the form of synthesis that "leads" the reader, e.g. if it said something like "because of his position on national security concerns, he earned the enmity of Hispanic voters", an implication our sources don't make and that we should not draw (they suggest that it was because of his anti-illegal-immigration perspective, which while it relates strongly to national security concern, in Trump's views, to Muslim immigration, it does not to Hispanic immigration).  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  15:21, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

{{RFPP|p|5 days}} Lectonar (talk) 21:37, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lectonar, your edit summary in protecting [46], "Use the talk page please...communicating only by edit summaries a little unkind", shows you have no idea what's going on. Unkind? What are you talking about??? Recent edit summaries [47] -- "good point... I'm sure you're right, but still I think this wording is better... how about this?" -- obviously reflect completely collegial, friendly, constructive editing, in the last twelve hours focused on trying to get one little phrase clear. Christ, we've even been thanking each other for these edits! There's no dispute at all. Get your finger off the hair-trigger, put you pistol back in its holster, and if you don't have time to find out what's going on, then move on and let someone else handle it. You obviously aren't giving due attention when you protect 5 pages in six minutes [48].
The baseless complaint of one editor...whose meandering thoughts are tied together with dots...who hasn't participated in the editing...and shows no interest in doing so...and whose objection...is simply that he doesn't want to "see 10 changes to a page because some are not sure how to word things"...is not a reason to protect.
David Eppstein, BushelCandle, please comment. EEng 22:35, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: It can be quite disconcerting for some inexperienced editors when there are many edits to a page in a short period of time. They may feel overwhelmed and not able to spend the time to examine each individual small and incremental edit. However, these feelings of inadequacy may be salved by the comforting thought that other, more competent editors are keeping an eye on things and it is not necessary for them to act as page guardians. However, Moxy is hardly inexperienced. He should have realised by now that he does not necessarily have to examine individually a series of 10 successive edits. If he hasn't drastically changed his user interface, in the edit history he should be able to just click on the radio buttons for the first and last edits of a particular series and see the global effect summarised. The advantage in editing in small increments is that it is relatively easy for any editor (including Moxy) to revert a particular edit that he's not happy with.
IMO, EEng has been punctilious in using the discussion page to discuss with other editors any historic or proposed edits that have either not achieved consensus (by being reverted) or he suspects may require a consensus in advance.
Where detailed editing of the MoS is concerned, it is grossly inefficient to discuss the placement of every semi-colon in advance. This idea that there can be too many edits to a page' (when each of those edits build collegiately on the edits of others) does seem totally against the spirit and ethos of a Wiki. Are we to give up the idea that a group of editors may together co-operatively construct a better page? Who is Moxy proposing as custodian of this particular page? After the page is unlocked, what would he think is a reasonable rate of improvement? One edit per minute, hour, day or week? Genuine question because I really don't think there is any precedent for this strange complaint...
I'm also rather concerned that, despite hinting in his complaint above of the need for prior discussions about needed edits to occur on the protected article's discussion page, he did not canvass opinion there for his perceived need to fully protect the page again. How do we protect against this sort of individualistic behavior ? By requesting a topic ban for him ?
This log confirms the truth of EEng's statement above that, with the odd exception, editing has recently been cordial and collegiate on the protected page.
BushelCandle (talk) 23:33, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have disengaged from the talk page of this MOS page because of the battleground attitude of some participants: every little point, no matter how seemingly uncontroversial it should be, gets attacked and discussed to death. This is a case in point. There are two major sets of RFCs open (one on how strongly we should discourage image scaling, another on image galleries in certain articles) but the edits to the MOS have largely avoided those issues and focused on small improvements to clarity and grammar. Despite this, even that type of change is too much for some of the editors on the talk page, who want everything locked down, everything reverted to the status quo ante, and every change battled in countless nested discussions and RFCs until it dies from exhaustion rather than ever actually being enacted. This RFPP seems to fit that pattern very clearly, and I am disappointed that Lectonar has fallen in with this request, without more carefully examining whether any of the recent changes were actually the controversial ones that are still under discussion. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:59, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • What I saw was disagreement and a died down discussion on the talk-page; what I did not see was consensus. Imho in this case it is not the for the protecting admin to make a decision as to the worth of the arguments, because that would make him involved. If another admin wants to unprotect, go right ahead. Lectonar (talk) 07:49, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Softlavender, can you please do the honors, since Lectonar has the ridiculous idea that he can't undo his own obviously mistaken action?
Lectonar, you don't need to evaluate "the worth of the arguments" (what arguments?) because what's going on on the talk page has no bearing on page protection; what matters is whether the actual editing that's going on is collegial and appropriate; as seen above, if you'd just read the edit summaries you would have seen that it was, and that it has nothing to do with the various discussions/disputes on the talk page. Your contributions history [49] shows that you do almost no actual article editing; given that, maybe you're not the best admin to be evaluating what is and is not appropriate editing behavior. And also as previously noted, protecting five pages in six minutes is not an appropriate rate at which to make such decisions, so if you don't have time to give due consideration, please leave the job to others. EEng 12:18, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Unprotected - although I do agree with Moxy in that it'd be better discuss on the talk page rather than through edit summaries. AlexiusHoratius 17:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
While I appreciate your doing what Lectonar should have done himself, I'm sure I speak for all others who actually edit the page in expressing bafflement at your comment. For example, you've made 823 edits to South Dakota [50], yet only 37 (yes, thirty-seven!) posts to that article's talk page [51]. Why aren't you gaining consensus for those edits in advance? Why are you communicating via edit summaries such as trim; these would be okay at list of people from sd, but for Olympians I think actually winning a medal sounds like a reasonable cut-off and custer sp pic wasn't bad but didn't show anything new; had been 5 pics, all West River. Revomed Custer and some of the forced image sizes and staggered placement of remaining photos. Shouldn't you have discussed those things on the talk page? Do you not agree the article should be protected to force you to do so, even though none of your recent edits is disputed? EEng 18:09, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Random IP repeatedly adding opinion to lead.

Semi-protected indefinitely. Surprised this wasn't done by now - that page seems to be a magnet for test edits by new users for some reason. --Bongwarrior (talk) 00:27, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Bongwarrior: Thanks, however it appears as though the page is still unprotected. Can you fix this, please? 172.56.38.186 (talk) 00:42, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Bongwarrior: Are you sure you want to permanently protect the sandbox. First, all sorts of welcome messages and level one warnings direct users and IPs to go there to make test edits. If they can't make edits there they are going to wonder why they were sent there. Next, it is better for the vandalism to happen there then in article space. Also, the nonsense posted there, if it doesn't get removed by other editors, is removed by Cyberbot 1 so there isn't damage to the rest of the encyclopedia. If it does get protected there is bound to be some blowback so you might want to discuss it at WP:AN first. Thanks for you time in considering this. MarnetteD|Talk 01:02, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Gotta agree with MarnetteD here. I just manually cleared it; we could have Cyberbot clear it more frequently as opposed to protecting it. Dozens of templates and warnings and pages direct new users to experiment on that page. I think semi-protection would be an ungood thing that asks for all kinds of trouble. Katietalk 02:25, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: High level of vandalism. Almost all content has been removed by vandals. Valid and relevant citations and the content they referred to have been removed.

Some of the edits were already reverted by Hgilbert, but the page has been vandalized again. Appears to be a coordinated effort or sock-puppetry over a period of more than 6 months.

Billy the Kid

Temporary semi-protection: Intentional disruptive editing – Requesting this article be protected ASAP from IPs. I have no faith the current IP with a mission will stop with only this round of disruption as long as the article is in the process of GA review. The IP geolocates to the Bronx, NY (very possibly the same one that's been following me from article to article attempting to get me in to edit war for months) has just undone the work at the article I did last night, knowing I am on a 1RR restriction and cannot revert what they did. I would see this as vandalism since the "edit" has taken everything I improved according to suggestions at the GA review and undid them. Others might not see it as vandalism, so I'm not taking a chance at going beyond my 1RR restriction (as vandalism would be an exception to the restriction). Would appreciate protection at least until the GA review is done. Am pinging Ritchie333 and Drmies as they are both familiar with my restriction (and possibly this IP). -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 16:38, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contest above statement. I have request full protection so that we can allow the talk page discussion to run its course. The above editor and Lipsquid have been editing the article repeatedly over the last 24 hours over disputed content despite the talk page discussion and there not being evidence of a consensus for their position at all. That can be considered disruptive.

The "persistent disruptive editing" here is by XavierGreen who seems to have a chronic case of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT.Volunteer Marek (talk) 0::6:03, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
A lengthy discussion on the issue was held here [[53]], which clearly failed to produce a consensus to change the infobox from Geopolitical Organization to Warfaction. Despite the lack of consensus and objections from other users, User:Volunteer Marek and User:Iryna_Harpy have been consistantly attempting to force the change through anyway, putting vandalism warnings on the talk page of any editor who attempts to revert them. I have opened a request for comment on the talk page.XavierGreen (talk) 06:21, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, it is XavierGreen who has been consistently editing against consensus and reliable sources. There have been other editors reverting this user. Please check the discussion on the talk page. In fact, it has gone beyond IDIDNTHEARTHAT to pure WP:CRUSH. As pointed out to XavierGreen, it isn't even an issue for consensus, but one of policy. The use of a 'Geopolitical organizations' infobox was inappropriate after this article and the LPR article (below) used a 'country' infobox. This may have stood for a long time, but only due to the fact that all of the Ukrainian crisis articles were being edit warred by POV pushers from their inception with no hope of any sense being made of them until they'd stabilised to some degree. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 08:57, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to add a question to the Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Language page. The page is semi-protected, and so is the talk page. My question is as follows;

Origin of the given name "jessica"

Hi. Re. the name "Jessica", the wikipedia article Jessica_(given_name) says in the first paragraph that it comes from a Hebrew word meaning 'foresighted'. However, in the side-box of the article, it says it means 'wealthy'.

Googling a little gives me similar mixed results.

Max B

Semi-protection: Numerous edits from multiple anonymous users (some of which seem to be the same user from multiple IP addresses). Extreme persistence in adding certain acts to "Associated acts" while removing others. Despite a talk on one of the IP's pages, and a willingness to compromise by including his desired act into the "Associated acts", he/she continue to remove others from the infobox. Malintent can be seen in how the user insists on inserting his/her desired acts in the forefront of the "Associated acts" list, while more notable acts are left for latter down the list. Anyone knowledgeable on the subject, would know Dame Grease and French Montana are much more significant in their association with article subject Max B. Furthermore, a verification of any of Max B's discography shows references to "associated acts" Al Pac, Mak Mustard and Stack Bundles in the tracklisting. For example- a look at the MOB tape [63] show references towards Stack Bundles, while a look into any of Max's records between 2008-2010 including his album Vigilante Season show mentions of Al Pac and/or Mak Mustard. Furthermore, citations remain scattered throughout the article itself (where relevant), yet disputing user references "non-notability" as reason during his/her edits. DA1 (talk) 20:49, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In my edit, i made sure to include Isaiah Toothtaker, whilst restoring mentions of Young Los, Mak Mustard, Al Pac and Stack Bundles in the "Associated acts". However, you repeatedly removed those acts, despite the several references to those acts in the article. DA1 (talk) 22:02, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The several references to those acts is not sufficient to add them to the infobox. See Template:Infobox musical artist#associated acts. 153.205.18.1 (talk) 22:06, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
[67] [68] [69] [70] [71] All make mention of Mak Mustard and Al Pac. The "Charge It To The Wave" DVD and "Coke Wave DVD" further mention these artists. Anyone who is familiar with Max's music, will be aware of these associated acts. As would they be familiar with producer Young Los, also cited in the article here [72]. Additional materials of reference: [73] [74] [75] and [76] DA1 (talk) 22:11, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think you have to familiarize yourself with the WP:SOURCE policy. 153.205.18.1 (talk) 22:20, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Film and music records are relevant sources, especially given the nature of the article subject. This seems to be a purely one way dispute from your end. One could easily begin make similar fallacious disputes against your desired "associated act", since your are unwilling to accept the numerous sources provided to you regarding the others, whom we have footage of with Max B and numerous references in his records and music, alongside the films and articles cited. In any case, I will leave it for the mods to decide. I've made my point. DA1 (talk) 22:26, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: A single anon IP, the SPA 213.1.8.136, has been edit-warring to add ethnicity unrelated to the subject's notability, despite two registered editors — myself and User:Hegvald — pointing out on the talk page that the anon IP is violating MOS:BLPLEAD. Instead of attempting to seek consensus, he has behaved belligerently, writing, "Hegvald, are you a racist against Chinese people?" and throwing other insults. He is now on the cusp of 3RR, but rather than edit-war with him, I ask for page protection. --Tenebrae (talk) 02:43, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please hold on this. The user above has reverted my attempt at a discussion on this topic on their talk page. None have violated 3RR. Alex|The|Whovian? 06:22, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
By the nature of having "verged on" violation of 3RR means it's not yet violated the rule but would have if one more reversion happens by either side, thus why I called for the protection BEFORE either side violated the rule. El Nero Diablo (talk) 06:47, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't really explain why you initially reverted my attempt at a discussion, does it? And actually, violating 3RR means more than three reverts. So, definitely not "one more reversion by either side". Alex|The|Whovian? 06:50, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Challenge: Rivals III

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Challenge season articles have a long history of being plagued by unsourced spoiler vandalism and additions of poorly-sourced content by IP users throughout their initial MTV run. On average, Challenge season articles run for about 2 1/2 months — per a short trailer on MTV.com, the season will not premiere until May 2016. With that said, I recommend a 6-month semi-protection in order to block any potential unwanted IP spoiler vandalism. DPH1110 (talk) 06:02, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected., we do not protect pages pre-emptively, and the amount of vandalism so far would not justify 6 month protection. However, I see your point, and if vandalism resumes after 2 weeks, I believe the chance the page would be 6 months semi-protected then is big.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:59, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The SCP Foundation article has been receiving fairly consistent vandalism for awhile, mainly claiming that it is a real organization or changing the description of one of the SCPs, SCP-426, to the first person (in-universe, SCP-426 is a toaster that can only be referred to in the first person). This is becoming a waste of everyone's time, and I'd like for this page to be placed under pending change protection. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 06:08, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Western Wall

Temporary semi-protection: Chesdovi continuously adds POV information, resulting in reverts, see the talk page where he admits he is a POV pusher. He was told to seek consensus before adding in contentious information. He is trying to make it seem that the Western Wall is not a holy site for the Jews because he is an anti-Zionist. I am seeking semi-protection so that discussions can happen on the talk page, reach a consensus and then be brought into the main page. Sir Joseph (talk) 04:27, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

More inflammatory remarks by SJ. He seems oblivious to policy guidelines on things as basic as RS and OR. I am all for reaching consensus, but he seldom replies, and when he does it is a never ending back and forth with arguments which do not align with policy, not to mention the never ending swipes and personal attacks. SJ needs to learn that other people have alternative views which they are entitled to have. Chesdovi (talk) 05:26, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And that is why I want the page protected. You continue to add stuff to the main page without reaching consensus.You tried creating a page Jewish boycott of the Western Wall, that was deleted, you then tried to merge that into this article and that was reverted and then on the talk page you just keep adding section upon section of whatever source you can google to suit your POV no matter how fringe or minor it is. That is why I want the page protection, to protect the integrity of the article. All one has to do is look at the history of the article at your contributions and at the reverts done by not just me, but by others to see that you are the disruptive editor here. Sir Joseph (talk) 05:30, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So am I not to post even to talk? What is this? Why have you not yet replied to this? I waited a week at Mea Shearim, you did not reply, and then removed text a second time: [80], [81]. I do not "keep adding" the same material. But you keep revert any thing I edit, even seemingly "non-contentious" material. What you mean by the "integrity" of the article is to keep it with it's pro-Jewish, Pro-Israeli and pro-Zionist slant. You care not one iota about any other section of the page. That is evidence of a disruptive POV. Chesdovi (talk) 05:59, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't respond to you because that is already in the article. I reverted your Meah Shearim reverts because that is a stupid entry. Just because the PA met with some residents in a PR stunt doesn't mean it gets to be in the article. Meah Shearim is part of Israel, it's inside the Green Line, why would it be part of the PA, so it's clearly POV and FRINGE to include. I revert what you edit if it's clear that it's a disruptive edit, like your Jewish boycott of the Western Wall article and similar edits. We get it, you hate Zionists and wish Israel to be destroyed, but you still need to follow Wikipedia policies while you do so. Sir Joseph (talk) 07:12, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Brave Little Toaster (film)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Req: 1 month semi. There is some uncertainty about the release date of this film, with multiple sources being in apparent conflict. IP hoppers keep asserting their own POVs, in some cases using poor references like this instead of the video's liner notes. This has been recurring since December 2015 or so, which is very odd for a film from 1987. You almost wonder if it's not a coordinated disruption, or if the attention to this old film is inspired by some meme or other form of groupthink. There's an open discussion on the talk page, yet none of the IPs have bothered to discuss. Some other examples of the changes: [89][90][91][92] (a couple of these appear to be from IPs on the East Coast of the US, which might suggest coordination, or a single user.)

Wikipedia:Reference Desk subpages

Request unprotection of WP:RD/H, WP:RD/M, as per suggestion at RFC here [95]. Have discussed this several times with protecting admin, who persists in protecting, against wishes of other admins and emerging consensus at reference desk talk page. SemanticMantis (talk) 19:30, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I went to the reference desk and wanted to ask a question. I discovered when I tried that it was protected, but there was a message there, a workaround that I could "submit an edit request". However, when I clicked on that it brought me to the talk page which is ALSO PROTECTED. That means that the very message providing a workaround for the protection of the reference desk leads you down the garden path to a "solution" that is foiled by the same mechanism. So I am asking for at least the talk page to be unprotected. 67.244.114.239 (talk) 21:57, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note: RD/M's protection recently expired and was protected again because the disruptive sockpuppeting resumed a few hours after. The resolution to this probably won't be found here though and we can't use this place as a temporary holding pen for questions for the protected desks. tutterMouse (talk) 07:32, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Parade of multiple IP editors coming in to remove a link to a music label in contravention of WP:REDLINK.

Hasteur (talk) 17:36, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an admin, thankfully. All the redlink removals have been done by a single IP editor, who has been blocked multiple times in recent weeks for removing redlinks on numerous articles, and who keeps re-emerging under new identities. I'm making at least daily reports to WP:AI/V, but so far the problem has not yet been finally resolved. Protecting this page is a good idea, nevertheless.

Review of protection: I was asked by ChristophThomas to lift the indefinite semiprotection placed on this article in 2009. I am not active enough to make a decision either way, and so I leave the request here for other views. For my part, I think it unwise to remove it in light of the protection history in 2008 leading up to the indef and the talk page now. ÷seresin 21:26, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected I think based on the edit requests and other nonsense on the talk page and its archives, that unprotection would be an extraordinarily bad idea. Katietalk 22:01, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
the only thing that is nonsense is to leave an article for over 6 years straight semi-protected. None of the talk page entries qualifies as vandalism attempts --ChristopheT (talk) 01:37, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still standing by this protection and I don't think anything has materially changed since I originally protected the article. While I agree this article might not be a vandalism magnet for eternity, it absolutely will remain one while 4chan and Anonymous are internet phenomenons. Indefinite protections are the status quo on 4chan related articles, for example: 4chan and Christopher Poole . While I agree indefinite protections are not a best practice, I believe these are common sense. If you want to argue that all article in this "category" should be unprotected, I invite you to take this to a broader audience. Brandon (talk) 02:01, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
no disrespect but I expect admins to administrate - which in this case means apply the rules we have in place. Now rules says we remove protection from time to time - 6 years is not a bad time to do just that (unless of course you think it is too much work to un protect the page and protect it later if the page is the target of vandalism) --ChristopheT (talk) 02:25, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Brandon...what do you thing about pending changes protection for some time to see how much vandalism comes in at all. Lectonar (talk) 07:48, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@ChristophThomas: The decision not to take action can be an administrative action (a rabbit hole some of us have recently explored with bitter tears and great anguish). We've been trusted to use our judgment. There are some pages that are indefinitely protected to prevent long-term disruption, and I agree with Brandon that this article is one of those. If someone disagrees, they're welcome to unprotect it. I wouldn't suggest pending changes only because I think the edit rate will be too high once the vandalism gets going, and it will be too much for the reviewers. Katietalk 15:04, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The edit rate was another thing I wanted to see, actually. Lectonar (talk) 15:39, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
why speculating when a few mouse clicks will simply tell us if it is true or not ? seriously - how much time does it take to un-protect a page and protect it if "edit rate will be too high once the vandalism gets going". 3.5 min times 2 ? so - that is a little over a minute per year for this particular article - which seems to be a rather fair effort to provide to find out if the protection level the last few years was actually justified --ChristopheT (talk) 15:46, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Because you don't need to drop a hammer on your foot to know it'll hurt. tutterMouse (talk) 18:14, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not done Definitely backing Katie and Brandon up here... this is a page that needs permenant semi-protection. There is no net positive to unprotecting the article (much akin to 4chan), and there is no net positive to continuing this conversation here. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 19:51, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IPs reverting good faith edits. Binksternet (talk) 19:35, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected Last protection was for one year. Since it's a BLP I think indefinite protection is warranted. Katietalk 20:18, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The page should not have been protected, in my opinion. The behavior of the IPs has been neither better nor worse than that of editors using accounts. Binksternet apparently has an editing dispute with the IPs, and gains an unfair advantage through article semi-protection. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 20:32, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
FKC is correct. This has to do with 128.175.185.8 undoing an edit from FyddleStix. After MarkBernstein added it back, DHeyward (not an IP) removed it again. Binksternet restored it a second time and then 128.4.140.76 removed it. This attempt to block IPs within minutes of this seems like B avoiding discussing the issue with DH and blaming it on IPs alone when it is not an IP-only issue. The two 128s might be the same editor, maybe their ISP rotated them in that 10 hour interim between edits or something. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 20:43, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have to share the above opinion. There has been a dispute over content, but the contribution of IPs was no more disruptive than that of other editors, and they weren't involved in BLP violations. - Bilby (talk) 21:08, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Quite. And Binksternet's rationale for semi-protection is flawed, in any case: that an edit is made in good faith does not mean it must not or should not be reverted. Good faith edits can legitimately be reverted in many cases. If anything, full protection of the article - to stop both IPs and most users using user accounts from editing - would have been more appropriate, since it looks as though an extended conflict is developing at the Sommers page.

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Till now three non-registered (IP) users have deleted/modified more or less the same information from this article page. It seems that it is the same user using different IP addresses (182.59.82.191/182.59.112.241/182.59.72.210) and all the three IP addresses are located in the same place with the geographical co-ordinates being 19.076 (latitude), 72.8777 (longitude) for all the three IP addresses (source: ww.IPlocation.net). So no doubt it's the same user. Therefore, warning the user or even blocking the user is not an option. Hence, I request you to semi-protect this article.
