24 Hour Semi - Today's Google Doodle. So, pretty much the normal routine. The vandalism has already started and will only get worse as the West Coast starts to wake up. TimothyJosephWood 15:53, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and thanks to Timothyjosephwood and others for their attention to the article. Needs protection ASAP. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 16:47, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Habib University

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Official Habib University Wikipedia page and should be protected from all users except for the administrator. --Yohsin14 (talk) 08:48, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It's not anyone's official page - it is an encyclopaedia article. If it needs protecting then it needs protecting against actual vandals as defined by Wikipedia, not against "all users except for the administrator" - that is not how we work. And indefinite protection sounds like a long time - where is the actual vandalism? Best wishes DBaK (talk) 10:55, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Declined Disruption here is from autoconfirmed users, and is promotion of the subject, rather than vandalism directed at it. OP provides no policy-based reason for protection. Vanamonde (talk) 11:12, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

BrahMos

Semi-protection: Content dispute/edit warring. —MBlaze Lightning T 06:25, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no edit warring involved. The new information is just being ignored by MBlaze Lightning T and other users who still want to list Brahmos as the "fastest missile in the world" despite the contrary facts that the HsiungFeng III missile is now the fastest. Wikipedia should be accurate and not based on Indian national pride. Sorry, I don't mean to offend any Indian, as I like India very much and eat Indian Masala Dosas, Samosas alot but the facts are the facts. Please read here:

Hsiung Feng III

Semi-protection Persistent edits from unregistered IP's which have been reverted by multiple users. No attempt to build consensus on Talk page. Adamgerber80 (talk) 18:34, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, this user Adamgerber80 (talk) is consistently trying to delete information that is sourced and referenced from the original unaltered article. The original unaltered article contained legitimate sources that have been repeatedly ignored by the biased editor Adamgerber80 (talk) despite repeated attempts to show him the reference sources that Brahmos is not the fastest missile in the world. He continues to try to delete information from the page to push his nationalistic Indian agenda, and list the Indian made Brahmos as the "fastest missile in the world", when the indisputable facts are against that. His biased Indian nationalistic viewpoints violates Wikipedia official policies and does not maintain a neutral point of view that is based on real facts and not nationalism or emotional content of any kind. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia based on facts, and not India national pride or anything else except the facts. And the indisputable fact, based on several legit sources, is that the HsiungFeng III missile is currently the fastest missile in the world and the Brahmos is the second fastest. Please read this legit source from 'Indian Defence News', which specifically states the Hsiungfeng III missile is faster than the Brahmos, which the editor Adamgerber80 (talk) is repeatedly trying to delete from the article:

43.249.129.212 (talk) 19:29, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from personal attacks here. Multiple other editors have reverted edits by the same user on the grounds that the sources are unreliable and have provided alternate sources that refute the said claims. Repeated attempts to get the unregistered user to build consensus on the Talk page of the article has resulted into similar behavior. Can we please protect the article until a consensus has been achieved. Thanks. Adamgerber80 (talk) 20:21, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, this is not true, please read the sources as they are self-explanatory. Only a few people, including Adamgerber80 (talk), are trying to delete information from the article. The original unaltered article was intact on Wikipedia due to consensus for almost a year until a few editors, who didn't like the information contained in the article, decided to start deleting sourced and reference information from the original article stating that the Hsiungfeng missile is the fastest missile in the world. Adamgerber80 (talk) please do put words in my mouth or slander me. You know just as well as I do what these articles say very clearly, they specifically state that the Hsiungfeng III at mach 10 is faster than the Brahmos which travels at Mach 3. And the fact that Adamgerber80 (talk) desperately wants protection on this article shows his ulterior motive. If a protection occurs Adamgerber80 (talk) is going to start rapidly deleting the legitimately sourced information on this article violating neutral point of view, which is the official Wikipedia policy. I do not have anything against India or their people as a matter of fact I am a big fan of India, I like India very much, a beautiful country, having traveled to Mumbai and Delhi multiple times, I'm only focused on making sure that the articles are based on facts. Thank you!

@Lectonar: I would not usually second-guess the decision made by another admin, but I came across this page and the disruption seemed severe enough for me to full-protect it: I hope you don't mind. Vanamonde (talk) 11:41, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Vanamonde93. No, I do not mind, but on pages that are experiencing edit warring, temporary full protection should force the parties to discuss their edits on the talk page, where they can reach consensus. Isolated incidents of edit warring, and persistent edit warring by particular users, may be better addressed by blocking, so as not to prevent normal editing of the page by others. The parties are already discussing, so...I think full protection is rather heavyhanded and unnecessary. Regards. Lectonar (talk) 11:51, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think date pages were subject to vandalism in 2007, and this dates from them. You could say that the vandal must be bored by now... but, if there was going to be page moves on year articles, it would involve many articles and so it would probably be best to reserve it to admins, so the can confirm there is consensus before changing so many pages.

Question:. The page has been in existence since 2003, so how would creation protection help? The last edit was 20 December 2016 and there has been no protection since 2011. The page has never been moved so I'm unclear on why this request. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 18:12, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Declined I think the IP actually wants edit protection, to make it harder to turn this back into an article, from a redirect. However, I think that is unnecessary as there is no history of people editing that page against consensus after the RfC. Yaris678 (talk) 18:27, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm inclined to disagree. This is certainly not at the extreme of slowness in terms of disruption; in fact, the editing rate of the article (~50 edits per month) is enough, in my view, for some form of protection, and Rob is correct that there has been a long-term pattern of disruption identified (namely, addition of unsourced content). A case with a similar issue and editing rate that readily comes to my mind was Sonic Boom (TV series), back when it was protected with pending changes from May to November 2015. I don't think the pending changes need to last quite as long here, but I think that some duration of protection would be justifiable. Mz7 (talk) 15:25, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still not convinced. There have been 56 edits and I think 17 reverts. In one case the revert was re-reverted as a good edit. Less that one revert every three days is not a lot. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 15:59, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kabali (film)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Req 3 month semi-protection. Pending changes protection wouldn't really work, because reviewers would have to have an understanding of the problem to deal with the matter. Agenda-pushing after recent expiration of protection, for instance here and here and here.

It's a long story that requires an understanding of corruption in Indian film finances, but basically the producer was pushing some super-high gross figures, some sources called the figures fake, but die-hard fans/marketing teams are pushing these high numbers as incontrovertible fact. There may also be some ethnic pride issues here, since this is a Tamil film, and I'm sure Tamilians want to feel like they knocked one out of the park. Anyway, page protection is probably the only way to manage this, and if I hadn't participated in many of the discussions about this, I'd protect it myself. Thanks.

@Shiesmine: The {{RFPP}} template is for use by the administrators who respond to this board to identify which requests have already been handled. Please do not add this template in yourself, as it may confuse administrators into thinking your request has already been handled, when it has not.

User talk:69.149.70.90

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – User, with changing IPs, only makes edits to this talk page solely to change my signature into a vulgar name. Both a rangeblock and an edit filter to fix this have been declined; maybe page protection may help?. JudgeRM (talk to me) 21:13, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JudgeRM: Declined. The problem I have with protection is that it would prevent anyone using this IP address from responding to concerns on their talk page in the event that it happens later on. As an alternative solution, since it seems that the warnings are stale and they're not doing much good for the encyclopedia as harm, I've gone ahead and blanked the page.

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – There is persistent, long-term, disruptive editing on this infrequently edited BLP. Various IP editors consistently try to change his nationality to "Serbian" instead of "Croatian" in the lead. Attempts to dissuade this behavior by myself and others via edit summary don't appear to be effective, as different IP editors appear to show up and make the same change. I'm asking for Pending Changes to protect this BLP. This is a sensitive subject and arguably protected by sanctions on subjects related to Eastern Europe, broadly construed.

2016 Indian banknote demonetisation

Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing – Clueless disruptive editing from autoconfirmed user: removal of sourced content, tangential talk page posts, original research of a non-neutral nature. Additionally, resumption of IP disruption upon expiry of previous protection. . Vanamonde (talk) 12:50, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanamonde93: The IP disruption is very low level and these edits by a new account look like improvements to me. I can see there is an issue with one auto-confirmed user who has a poor grasp of both English and the the norms of Wikipedia. I don't think page protection is the solution though. I have left a message on the user's talk page. If that doesn't work, dispute resolution or WP:ANI may be more appropriate. Yaris678 (talk) 14:04, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Yaris678: a priori I can see why it seems that way; but I'm afraid this is one of those areas (similar to hot topics in U.S. politics) that attracts a large number of clueless POV pushing. This is just the most recent edition of it; and poor english is not the only issue. I call it "disruptive" because the editor removes sources, and claims to be removing unsourced content. I would ask that you take one closer look at the page history. I will, of course, do my best to communicate with this user. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 14:13, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina

Full Protection Persistent, Daily and Long Term vandalism and inappropriate reversion by editor

I urgently request that write protection be put back in place for the article on “The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina” and that poster “Strgzr1” be prohibited from any further editing of the article. It is a conflict of interest for this person to be editing the article first because he is a VMI grad with questionable motives and second because he has a long history of posting false, demeaning and misleading information and comments. Look at the edit history and you can see a long trail of changes and edits he has made that are questionable and for which he has been called out on by other editors including “BillCasey”. Now it appears that this person has also had himself made an editor just so he can revert any edits I make to his false narratives; also not in the edit history that recently when I revert his vandalism he then reverts my changes and also retaliates by adding even more misleading, false and demeaning comments to the article – under motto, “strikingly similar to the motto of West Point”; under cadet life “cadets who complete 4 years may choose to live off campus” (false). This person is well known to me since he for years has also been making false claims and posting inaccurate and derogatory comments on another website, I know its him because some of his comments on the wiki talk pages are almost verbatim from those on the other website. This vandalism began occurring routinely about 2 years ago so I requested write protection which was granted, a few months ago for some unknown reason the protection was removed and the vandalism immediately started up again, note in the comments on the talk page that ‘Strgzr1’ actually admits he is the one doing it. Enough is enough, he has been vandalizing this article for far too long and clearly has ulterior motives, he clearly has some deep seated hatred of The Citadel and is using the internet to play some kind of sick game. Please put a stop to this at once.Bob80q (talk) 15:32, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – An anonymous user is edit-warring to restore vast amounts of text that is unsourced or poorly sourced (e.g. sourced only to online forums), contains links to copyright-infringing YouTube videos or goes into absurd levels of descriptive detail. The article has been in this bloated state for years and is tagged accordingly. Blocking is futile as the user simply hops from one IP address to the next. The PC protection that I imposed two months ago has been largely ineffective as many reviewers are simply waving these problematic edits through. The article already has a fairly extensive protection log. I would re-impose semi-protection for a few months but I'm probably too involved now.

@CambridgeBayWeather: The talk is where the disruption is occurring right now. I'm hesitant to suggest also including the main page because the new spate of POV pushing isn't really turning into edit wars there, just a highly disruptive presence at talk. That being said, I'd prefer to see both semi-d for a week. It would give this time to die down, and it wouldn't encourage IPs and new SPA's to try to push their POV at the article when they can't edit the talk page. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 14:27, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: This has not happened yet, but there is a huge discussion going on that could boil down to a massive edit war. With the best interest of both the article and the belligerents, I am requesting a temporary yet effective full protection to let this die down. This might seem like an over-the-top request but I feel it's the only thing preventing a massive edit war without users being blocked for extensive periods of time.

Wikipedia

Remove protection: This article, as it stands, is quite spotty and needs lots of minor improvements, such as a cleanup of links pointing into the projectspace. I have made many useful changes at Talk:Wikipedia/sandbox, but an editreq to incorporate it was denied due to an apparent requirement of consensus, even though the changes were all minor and non-controversial. The problem, I think, was that I rearranged the positions of some sections, and if such changes are also done in the same edit, it would be difficult for others to see exactly what changes have been made. As such, I am requesting that this page be temporarily unprotected to facilitate useful edits, which are simply inappropriate to be done with an edit request (for the reason described above). Having the ability to edit the page would allow me to incorporate my sandboxed changes over many edits which (i) enables to explain each change in the edit summary and (ii) relieves others from the trouble of having to look at diffs in too many changes have been made in one go.

Hillary Clinton, Cooper Andrus, and other living figures), as their names can be seen in the description on the page's history and/or on the vandals edits. The L in the Wikipedia article is being treated as the term 'looser', by vandals. Vandals are both users, and IP address (both IPv4 and IPv6), if looked care fully, in last 250-500 edits. Every second edit is nearly a revert due to un-usefulness, or a revert due to vandalism, the latter is more.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent IP Vandalism- Of late, this page has been affected by high level of IP vandalism. Just see first 250 or 500 edits of the page history. Most of the IP users make disruptive edits and adversely affect the notability of article. The passenger statistics in infobox of article which inspite of being well sourced with official references and calculated from those sources become easy targets of IP vandals. They modify them as per their choice. Many other vandals often remove names of destinations from section "Airlines and Destinations" of this article after just perceiving those flights (mostly same aircraft stopping or via flights) as non-operational. Many others involve in removal of citations. This article needs immediate semi-protection for indefinite time period. Vibhss (talk) 13:23, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Inferno (Dante)

Extended or indefinite semi - You can find occasional constructive editing by newbies and anons if you look hard enough, but it's few and far between, with fairly constant long term vandalism and reversion in the interim. Divine Comedy is probably the single most famous 14th Century literary work (take your pick, this or Chaucer), and it should be a fairly stable article anyway, with no reason to expect the steady stream of, what are undoubtedly forlorn high school literature students, to end any time soon.

Indefinite extended confirmed: Persistent sockpuppetry – Given the nature of this page and the fact that it's already been attacked by Orchomen's socks a few times, this should be an indefinite extended confirmed protection, just like it is on my sock list here.

BU Rob13 originally semi-protected the page indefinitely, but after socks who had registered accounts and who were making several edits in their user space in order to get confirmed status started getting through, Callmemirela, who's also been helping us with this battle, requested extended confirmed protection, but only at a temporary level. I suggested an indefinite level, but the administrator who protected the page wasn't Rob, but rather Ad Orientem who, I guess, wasn't fully aware of the extent of the situation, which is understandable, and only temporarily extended protected the page. Amaury (talk | contribs) 15:01, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I only requested a temporary protection because Orchomen had been vandalizing the page under IP and new user accounts. I thought temporary would be more suited because I assumed that Orchomen would eventually give up on that page. However, based on Orchomen's MO, it is likely he will return to the SIP page and vandalize again. I think indefinite protection would be appropriate. Just thought I'd give my two cents should an admin need it. Callmemirela 🍁 {Talk} ♑ 16:56, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This seems appropriate given the circumstances and the type of page this is. ~ Rob13Talk 17:32, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@NeilN: Thank you, Nein. To explain, semi-protection is only 100% useful against IPs; however, not so much against registered accounts since they can easily make several edits in their user space to get around that by getting confirmed status, which our long-term sockpuppeteer has done in the past, and I wouldn't put it past them to do it again with only semi-protection on my talk page.

Unsourced or disruptive edits or vandalism to the tables by unregistered IP user Special:Contributions/50.165.173.42. Their other 2 edits to 2 other articles are removed too. Earliest edit diff for other article seems to be related to blog, Gujalish, (May be Gujarati language with English is Gujalish.) Gujalish. In article Devanagari transliteration's section Transliteration comparison's table they have added unsourced, undefined content, possibly wrong & they have hidden by pipe trick pre existing good encylopedic information. This constitutes vandalism. The relevant edit diffs are edit 1 and at edit 2 . About this vandalism, talkpage discussion at article, notice placed at disruptive IP user's talkpage. Correcting these mistakes in the comparison tables section is very difficult and time consuming. Please add semi protected status to this section atleast Devanagari transliteration's section Transliteration comparison , so disruptive edits or vandalism can be lessened from unregistered IP users.

Survivor Series (1992)

Unprotection: As a result of this, the article should no longer be protected. Nickag989talk 17:16, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Unclear what your rationale is. The 3RR report you cite is about Survivor Series (1990) rather than this one. Consider asking the protecting admin, User:MilborneOne. EdJohnston (talk) 23:13, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@EdJohnston: Why does this article have on sysop only protection, what is the rationale behind that? It’s actually kind of ridiculous. Wiki-Coffee Talk 00:34, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The reason for full protection is usually to force a discussion. See more rationale at Talk:Survivor Series (1992)#Discussion: please support or oppose my suggestion. I don't see why I should lift MilborneOne's protection when they provided a good reason for it. You have not yet added your own comment in that talk thread. EdJohnston (talk) 00:57, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@EdJohnston: @MilborneOne: - “The reason for full protection is usually to force a discussion” – Would it not be fair to say that the act of full protecting a page (restricting that pages editing to admins only) is de-facto removing anyone’s ability to edit the article? This action of fully protecting an article and restricting its editing to sysops only is contentious of WP:5P3. For an action, which by its nature, is contemptuous of a founding principle of Wikipedia it would seem to me that a rationale like “to force a discussion” is rather disingenuous. The action of fully protecting an article is dystopian and it is also an affront to the spirit of Wikipedia which can be surmised in its slogan “the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.” It would further occur to me that in circumstances which upholding the principle that “anyone can edit” could damage Wikipedia then restrictive protections ought to be placed; however, the action of placing this protection to protect an article would be counterproductive if the reasons for instituting it did not seek to prevent damage to Wikipedia. “The reason for full protection is to force discussion” seems invariably aimed at making a point and conveying a message to editors that they must discuss before editing an article. This point could be made without affronting WP:5P3. Furthermore, by applying full protection to make a point it is disrupting other editors (whom perhaps had not been involved in the original reason for protecting the article) ability to constructively contribute towards an article.

Edit-warring continues from multiple IP's: prev. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 01:20, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is Kurt Evans. I'm not claiming to be a third-party candidate. The Constitution Party was denied ballot access and had no U.S. Senate candidate in the 2016 election. I'm also not making "reverts" to other edits. I'm removing unsourced, false and defamatory information. My "point of view" isn't the basis for removing the information. This is a matter of straightforward legal fact. I'm also not engaging in edit-warring. I'm explaining each of my revisions, and "Eggishorn" is the one edit-warring with unexplained "reverts" of those revisions. I'm not familiar with Wikipedia's "NLT" policies, but it's true that after months and months of dealing with this garbage, I'm now planning to pursue defamation lawsuits against Wikimedia and several regular Wikipedia editors. 208.53.231.242 (talk) 01:43, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Survivor Series (1992)

Unprotection: “The reason for full protection is usually to force a discussion” – Would it not be fair to say that the act of full protecting a page (restricting that pages editing to admins only) is de-facto removing anyone’s ability to edit the article? This action of fully protecting an article and restricting its editing to sysops only is contentious of WP:5P3. For an action, which by its nature, is contemptuous of a founding principle of Wikipedia it would seem to me that a rationale like “to force a discussion” is rather disingenuous. The action of fully protecting an article is dystopian and it is also an affront to the spirit of Wikipedia which can be surmised in its slogan “the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.” It would further occur to me that in circumstances which upholding the principle that “anyone can edit” could damage Wikipedia then restrictive protections ought to be placed; however, the action of placing this protection to protect an article would be counterproductive if the reasons for instituting it did not seek to prevent damage to Wikipedia. “The reason for full protection is to force discussion” seems invariably aimed at making a point and conveying a message to editors that they must discuss before editing an article. This point could be made without affronting WP:5P3. Furthermore, by applying full protection to make a point it is disrupting other editors (whom perhaps had not been involved in the original reason for protecting the article) ability to constructively contribute towards an article.

Vivacom Arena Georgi Asparuhov

Temporary semi-protection: Disrupting editing by The TV Boy. This user has a long history of unacceptable behaviour including but not limited to edit warring, breaking the three-revert rule, vandalism, harassing and threatening other users, trolling football-related pages, speaking on behalf of admins without their knowledge and permission.


His newest field of activity is Vivacom Arena Georgi Asparuhov. Being a supporter of a rival club he wants to impose an illogical title that sounds stupid. The stadium was known as Georgi Asparuhov Stadium until recently when the name of the principal sponsor Vivacom was added. Due to fan pressure, the club decided to combine a commercial and non-commercial name, thus, instead of Vivacom Arena the stadium was called Vivacom Arena Georgi Asparuhov. The names of the football venues, including the sponsored ones contain either arena or stadium but not both. Because of his history of counterproductive behaviour I'm asking TV Boy to be blocked from editing this article and the troll page Vivacom Arena - Georgi Asparuhov Stadium to be deleted.--Ivo (talk) 00:39, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question: @Sir Joseph: How are you not edit warring against the closed RfC and asking for your preferred version to be protected? NeilN talk to me 14:48, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm trying to keep it as consensus. There was then article written about "antisemitism on Wikipedia" and these accounts are now coming to vandalize the page. Debresser and others are trying to converse with these editors but they blindly revert. (I also disagree with the closure, the closer misunderstood the question and it's clear that ALL Jews can't be labeled as Middle Eastern. Judaism is from the Middle East, but individual Jews are from wherever they are. I for example, am not from the ME, why would my page list me as ME descent then?)

Thank you, Lectonar. But I am a bit confused. Are we looking at the same article? The article has had a large number of vandalism or disruptive edits, starting from the moment Luang Por was widely reported in English press, that is from 19 February onward. I have listed the edits below. Most of them are just adding random Thai or English text, or deleting a large part of the page. I request a temporary increase of protection for as long as the temple and its abbot are widely reported in the news, to protect the quality of the page.

  • Comment I know this was declined by YMblanter a few days ago, but I would like to respectfully disagree. The trend that I have seen (so far) is that during the first month or so of the popularity of a Hindi film, IPs will come one nearly daily to change the profit amount (in either direction) without providing a source. This clogs up the PCR logs and the page history, because I always have to revert it to do lack of sources. If this is declined again, I will accept it and not bring this article forward for SEMI again. Thank you. L3X1 My Complaint Desk 14:58, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Abdullah al-Harari

Request for indefinite semi-protection requiring autoconfirmed or confirmed access as par to Al-Ahbash

Since Al-Ahbash got indefinite semi-protection requiring autoconfirmed or confirmed access, the Wikipedia page about Abdullah al-Harari will bear the brunt of constant and continuous disruptive editing because it is directly related to Al-Ahbash as Abdullah al-Harari is the preacher / scholar the Al-Ahbash follow. It doesn't mean that the Al-Ahbash page will be left alone. Just recently, first 180.246.67.138 / 180.246.67.138 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and then 36.79.65.55 / 36.79.65.55 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) made very similar edits to Abdullah al-Harari. In their edits, they improperly cited the first article by misquoting it (The article clearly states "Islamic Scholars in Somalia’s northeastern state of Puntland have condemned Shiite books allegedly loaded from Iran which tries to gain foothold in the Horn of African nation, Garowe Online reports......Books spotted in Somalia’s Puntland were largely authored by controversial cleric, Abdullahi Mohamed Yusuf (Al Harari), Sunni scholars said.") and then in the second source (a non-English one) they tried to promote Nahdlatul Ulama Online. (i.e. visiting Abdullah al-Harari's grave by chairman of Nahdlatul Ulama Online is irrelevant to this article on many levels). I am afraid such behavior will only increase in the coming days. Please, look into my request. Thank you. McKhan (talk) 07:35, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A SPI is underway, but I think semi protection would still be helpful since there are good, thoughtful arguments being made both in favour of keeping and against it, and they are getting lost in the flood of sock !votes. In addition, Nsmutte has discovered the AfD, and that can lead to a lot of cleanup work for a lot of innocent bystanders. bonadea contributions talk 15:26, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 5 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I am normally loath to protect articles at AfD, but this is purely disruptive. Lectonar (talk) 15:30, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jehovah's Witnesses

Semi-protection: Please see Talk:Jehovah's_Witnesses/Archive_62#IP_Block for the consensus. Also see the recent history, where not only disruptive IP address edits are daily made, but also regular ones from brand-new single-purpose accounts (at least semi-protection would discourage this because of the delay)... The issue here is not the amount of problematic edits per day, where temporary protection may be warranted, but it is a very persistent long-term issue. Perhaps that permanent pending changes protection would be nice, if permanent semi-protection cannot be applied. Thank you very much, PaleoNeonate (talk) 02:17, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. PaleoNeonate, protection is an admin decision (with a few exceptions) and cannot be dictated by local consensus. NeilN talk to me 02:55, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Protection highly appreciated, many thanks. I understand that the administrator who processes the request has the final word, although I believed that showing consensus may be encouraging. Thanks again, PaleoNeonate (talk) 02:59, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
