Indefinite extended confirmed: Arbitration enforcement – WP:ARBPIA3#500/30. nableezy - 19:11, 28 September 2017 (UTC) 19:11, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can you say why? Looking at recent edits it isn't obvious to me that there is currently a problem. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:28, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I thought that arbitration enforcement was reason enough. There have been a number of edits by users, IPs and registered accounts, banned from making edits to the page. nableezy - 19:10, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We had one of many discussions on this subject recently over on the talk page, at WT:RFPP#ARBPIA3 500/30. Samsara 21:35, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is a long diff, but I do not see Palestinians or Arabs mentioned or implicated anywhere. The editor reverting the change gave a detailed rationale that also does not mention the conflict. Samsara 13:33, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cole Sprouse

Temporary semi-protection: Part of me thinks I might be requesting this too soon, but I figured better safe than sorry. Article is experiencing the same types of edits from new/IP users that got Dylan and Cole Sprouse semi-protected (specifically, persistent vandalism mostly related to Cole's appearance on Riverdale and/or his apparent desirability). - Purplewowies (talk) 20:57, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Sorry. The one edit is not enough for PP. If the problem persists come back. Ad Orientem (talk) 21:01, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused by "one edit" bit (maybe I'm parsing "vandalism" differently or looking at more edits since it looked to me like there were more? *shrug*), but I'll come back if/when it gets worse. Thanks! - Purplewowies (talk) 21:09, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I used Twinkle to request PP, and it told me that it was already pending. There are more than two anon IP's involved - a quick look at the history shows that (including myself) 9 editors have been invovled in the removal/reinstatement of the content since first inclusion - but nobody started discussion until I did here.

Temporary semi-protection: An IP and a newly created account have been adding a lot of information to the introduction based on a recent article written by Yashwant Sinha [3], [4], [5], [6].

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Both parties cautioned about edit warring. Ad Orientem (talk) 18:39, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't really a content dispute. The IP/new users are constantly returning and adding back all that one sided material to a BLP. They are using multiple IPs to revert me. The statements in the article are weird and biased for an encyclopaedia article. For example
  • "He strongly criticized policies of Modi Government and hit on Finance Minister Arun Jaitely"
  • "The article shook the whole BJP Government."
  • "Prime Minister Narendra Modi had to come up with a defensive article by Jayant Sinha on the same evening to safeguard the failures of his government."
I find it weird that reporting this on this page ironically leads to me getting an edit warring warning (I do understand what is edit warring). I have reverted only once per day and today was the only time I did it twice, that too after reporting it for more than half a day on this page. Discussing on the talk page is fine, but from my experience hardy anyone replies, much less random IPs (instead IPs use the talk page as a forum [8] to post random rants). Are we supposed to let statements such as the one above linger on biographical articles? In any case, I will no longer be reverting any content added to the article anymore.--DreamLinker (talk) 00:36, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism, highly suspected troll Italian anonymous IP sockpuppet of Mediolanum, an user with more than 50 different sockpuppets which is always vandalizing/changing data with fake numbers in pages related to Italy or the Italian economy. See this:

Yesterday the page List of European countries by average wage was again vandalized by him, as it was an anonymous IP and his style of editions betray him. He waited for the protection removal of this page in 19th September to vandalize again the page, as well as some other Italian related pages. 79.55.188.233 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

I request a semiprotection of the page, better if it's at least a 3 month one. This page has no data to change at all as the source is the OECD and uses 2013 data. I did some corrections on the actual local currency / $ exchange but that's the only data to change in time, and that can be done by trustworthy users. --TechnicianGB (talk) 10:37, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:22, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • This needs WP:BLP extended confirmed protection for at least 16 hours or until sources all agree that an official statement was made. This is a mess: A bunch of "reliable" sources jumped the gun and said that Tom Petty died, based on erroneous reports sourced to the Los Angeles Police Department; but the police responders were county L.A. Sheriff, not city LAPD. See see title, content, and wording in https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lapd-clarifies-cannot-confirm-tom-petty-death/ as of 14:23 PDT (20:23 UTC). The article was even unprotected by an admin because the death was "confirmed" — but it wasn't. It appears that, as of the time I write this, he's on life support.

Easycore

Requesting Unprotection This was deleted at AfD and then was redirected to pop punk; the redirect was deleted at RfD in February 2017 with little discussion and even less consensus. The redirect was salted last month due to repeated recreation (and it was repeatedly recreated because it is a term in common usage; sometimes, our users are trying to tell us something). There is now a reliably sourced section in the pop punk article dealing with easycore; I would like to redirect there. The protecting admin elected not to unprotect the redirect, stating that he did not believe there were enough RSes to justify restoration. (The protecting admin was not involved in the three AfD's or the RfD; I did not contact the closing admins for those proceedings.) I think the current status of the section in the pop punk article sufficiently establishes the utility of a redirect for the convenience of users seeking reliably sourced information on the term, though perhaps not an article of its own at this time.

@Ad Orientem: Actually, your decline does not make sense.

Steel1943 (talk) 21:18, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Steel1943. When I looked at the editing history it looked to me like it was the same IP that had twice removed the AfD tags and the last edits before today were back in July. In situations where there is ongoing disruption from a dynamic IP, page protection often makes sense. I'm not seeing that here. If that situation changes I will happily reconsider PP. But two disruptive edits by the same IP is not enough to justify page protection. -Ad Orientem (talk) 22:43, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Ad Orientem: Thanks for the constructive response after my initial frustration with your decision. After reading your comment, I went and reviewed the history of that page as well, and sure enough, the previous IP used was a few months ago during the PROD tag removals. I'm certain that the two IPs are the same person and maybe blocking the active one temporarily could be a resolution, but I'm also fairly certain that the article is going to be deleted.

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – A relatively high visibility page (due to the amount of school IP traffic). Looking back years down the page history there are long term issues with multiple IP vandalism, vandalism seems to have been often missed or reverted after some time probably due to there never being enough multi-IP disruption at a time to warrant semi protection. –72 (talk) 15:05, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: IP hopper continuing to inappropriately add non-free files to articles.

WP:AN3 is an option, but a new IP is used every time so it might not have much of an any affect.

2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 FIA World Rally Championship

Move-protection: recently an editor has insisted that these articles need to be moved to "20XX World Rally Championship" based on his interpretation of WP:COMMONNAME. However, he has not made any attempt to discuss this move, either on the article talk pages, at the Motorsport or World Rally Championship WikiProjects, and he has applied this move selectively (eg, moving 2017 FIA World Rally Championship, but not 2017 FIA World Rally Championship-2. His decision to move them appears to be based on some of his recent comments in a (very) lengthy discussion at an unrelated WikiProject where he makes it clear that he feels justified in moving articles despite a consensus where his proposed names were considered, but rejected. Given that this is not the first time that he has moved these articles without discussion and that his justification is based on an unresolved discussion in a completely different context, I think it's quite clear that he will keep moving the articles as he sees fit regardless of what is in the interests of tge article. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 03:36, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update: as predicted, he has done it again, claiming that he has no need to seek a consensus. Furthermore, he has a history of trying to shut down discussions about the articles in question if he disagrees with them. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 10:42, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Random IPs and newbies come once every other day to commit hoax and blatant vandalism. The article has been protected numerous times in the past, and judging from how it's not stopping, it's best that people not see the monstrosity publicly, and for it to be edited by competent users. 1989 06:11, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Extremely high level of vandalism in the last couple of months ([35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57], [58], [59]). The vast majority of those edits is probably made by the same person who always registers a new account, makes one or two silly joke edits that break the article, marks it as a minor edit, then registers a new account etc. It is most probably the same person who has been vandalising all these FOSS articles for years. Some long-term protection is probably needed.—J. M. (talk) 18:26, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotection: Protection now seems to be pre-emptive, nothing to suggest that vandalism will restart if un-protected. @Xymmax: (courtesy ping). DrStrauss talk 17:31, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@DrStrauss: It was not pre-emptive. The article was protected on 24 February 2009 based on an OTRS ticket, presumably a complaint from the subject. The contribution history, before that date, reveals numerous instances of IP vandalism and BLP violations. Note also that when it was protected, pending-change protection didn't exist back then. PCP may be a good compromise between indef semi and complete unprotection. We could at least gauge the value of any attempted edits made by anonymous IP addresses. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:41, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that it's about time it was protected, but I'm hesitant to do it given it was based of a OTRS ticket that I can't access. As the protecting editor hasn't edited for 2 weeks and this request has been sitting here for three days, does anyone with OTRS access want to take a look? @Ritchie333: I believe you've got OTRS access. Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:04, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Over the last three years, every time the article comes out from under protection, a person using various IP addresses conducts edits that reverse the order of the primary actors in this movie. See the extensive protection log for this article. Also see a 2014 example, a 2015 example, a 2016 example, and today a 2017 example. The last protection was for a year. It did no good. Various attempts have been made in the past to communicate to this person and another who's been edit warring on the article in times past as well. There's been a sockpuppet investigation as well. All of it is to no avail. I despise indefinite semi-protections, but I do not see a way forward, short of enduring constant disruption to the article.

Come on, this is a ridiculous request. As it stands, there are two newbie accounts (probably the same user) who have edit warred a CNN description out of the article with ludicrous edit summaries (one of them citing a supposed policy called WP:REVERTRANNY, which sounds like cheeky vandalism). These edits have rightfully been reverted by at least four seasoned users (and I would have reverted it myself had they not). But now, the page has been fully protected and nobody can edit it. Why?

SPI does not respond quickly enough and the potential cost is much too high to rely on a handful of us finding each sock and reverting. Pending changes is currently in place but clearly not sufficient. Spammer has shown at least a vague understanding of protection rules and uses very obviously bad faith techniques to conceal the edits (e.g. including the link in an image with a nearly identical name to the image which was used before).

Declined Not so fast... this article just came out of having a gold lock put on the front gate for a day, and the content dispute by the original parties involved has not appeared to have continued. This new editor (Roylow940718 - who made the unreferenced changes since the full protection expired) just needs to be educated on the ongoing dispute with the article, how to add discussions via talk page, and (most importantly) the importance of referencing reliable sources when making changes to content. As of right now, this page doesn't need a change in protection unless the frequency and level of disruption and edit warring changes. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 05:19, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

United Nations Development Fund for Women

Semi-protection: Repeated similar, non-constructive edits from these IP addresses, over several months, suggesting WP:IPSOCK:

As you can see, each of these IPs is in the range 105.112.16-37.* . That range seems to belong to the ISP Airtel Nigeria, suggesting that the sockmaster is either a subscriber, or an employee of, Airtel Nigeria, and is perhaps being assigned a different IP from Airtel Nigeria's pool of IPs with each session. If it is possible to protect the page just from IP edits originating from Airtel Nigeria, rather than from all IP edits worldwide, this might be sufficient to stop the vandalism, while avoiding catching good faith IP editors in the net. Zazpot (talk) 14:01, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think their is a way to protect the page from the IP, but a WP:RANGEBLOCK could be something an admin considers. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 21:44, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Declined for now - ask around for a range block if you like (I don't know how to do them) but only long-term protection would have much of an effect, and there looks like there is only one incident a month or so. AlexiusHoratius 01:16, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Emir of Wikipedia, AlexiusHoratius: I ran a whois and it comes back to an ISP which has control of a huge range of IP addresses (105.112.0.0/12, or 105.112.0.0 - 105.127.255.255 for those who don't understand CIDR notation). Just running a contributions check for 105.112.0.0/18 which is the range that just the IPs listed here are within, I see that blocking it would cause a significant amount of collateral damage upon innocent anonymous users. The best thing to do moving forward is to block the subranges (such as /24) as we see them, or consider adding pending-changes protection to this article. I'll defer that decision back to AlexiusHoratius and leave the final call up to him/her. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:03, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I went ahead and added pending changes for six months. AlexiusHoratius 02:09, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think that's a good call, AlexiusHoratius. This will allow non-disruptive anonymous users to edit the article, and allow us to keep watch for further disruption by this range. In six months, we can re-evaluate and determine whether or not pending changes protection is still necessary. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:15, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of Hillary Clinton presidential campaign political endorsements, 2016

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There has been recurring attempts to arbitrarily remove large sections of the article. For example, one user has been attempting to delete all endorsements from Congressional politicians - but only for Hillary Clinton and not anyone else. Given that endorsement lists are commonplace, there should be a consistent standard for what ought or ought not to be included on such lists. Until and unless there is a consensus for all endorsement articles, this is a valuable historical record and should not be arbitrarily and selectively tampered with.

Semi-protection: Same edit (removing sources and adding incorrect info) has been been made by apparently the same IP editor from a handful of IP addresses for over a month. No attempts at discussion have been answered.

Rockypedia (talk) 03:08, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. I understand that this disruption spans across multiple articles and IP addresses. However, at this time, the article has been disrupted by only one IP (which is now blocked for this). Applying protection to an article in a pre-emptive measure is not allowed, and the current level of disruption on this article doesn't warrant the use of protection at this time. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:57, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to acknowledge that I took a look through Disney's Animal Kingdom, and I agree with the protection that is applied there (due to the level of disruption by multiple IP addresses). This article, however, is not at this level of disruption and therefore it is not currently in a state that protection is justified and can be applied in a reactive measure per Wikipedia's protection policy. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 05:05, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

By convention, other admins will not touch this until the protecting admin has either declined the request or obviously not seen or ignored it. The protecting admin, being most familiar with the situation, gets to make the first call. Samsara 11:40, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Absolutely not, this is a globally locked disruptive sock farm that requests password resets of admin accounts, just see the history of perm for the amount of nonsense.

Semi-protection: Fans of the Saskatchewan Roughriders are vandalizing this player's page due to a Twitter battle he engaged in with Duron Carter. As a result of the game tonight, where the Roughriders beat Mitchell's Stampeders, Carter intercepting a pass and scoring a touchdown in his first start in his life as a defensive back, fans are making stupid edits to this page. I would suggest a semi-protection that lasts until the 2017 CFL season is over. So at least a month as it is quite possible these two teams may face each other in the Grey Cup.

The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina

Indefinite Full Protection: Persistentvandalism.Bob80q (talk) 14:20, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request indefinite full protection for the article The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina due to regular and long term vandalism by poster ‘stargzr1’ and possibly others. This person has engaged in a lengthy campaign of disinformation and false posts that are not supported by evidence or references, has routinely violated Wikipedia rules on neutral tone by interjecting personal opinion and apparently is motivated by a personal hatred based on his status as a VMI alumni. He has been warned repeatedly by editors about his posts and even after semi protection was placed on the article the minute it expired he has resumed his posts, efforts to resolve on the talk page have been met with snarky comments, denials and more false claims. Administrators have failed to take action by blocking this poster. Editor BillCasey is familiar with the situation and can provide backup info. There is no excuse for allowing someone with a personal vendetta to be allowed to continue this kind of vandalism, he is doing what he is being allowed to get away with

Susan B. Anthony

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – (or if this is too drastic please consider indef pending changes). Requesting due the very long protection log, with many protections that have proved ineffective. Short term semi's seem to be ineffective due to the page being of relatively high visibility due to the school IP traffic. IP/non-autoconfirmed accounts' vandalism appear to take a large share of the activity on this article, looking pages down the history and is pretty much exclusively the slow childish kind associated with school IPs which is natural considering the subject of the article. –72 (talk) 17:19, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'll defer to more experienced admins here, but I would oppose placing this article on indef-semi, there has been at least one positive addition by a non-autoconfirmed editor within the last week, and the fact that she is well known and schools edit mean it attracts IPs to vandalize, but also has the possibility of attracting new users to positively contribute (fixing typos, etc.) The last 50 edits on this page goes back to July, which also makes me think this is something that Huggle and ClueBot can handle. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:48, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, TonyBallioni, it seems the cached version of this page that I saw did not yet have your comment on it when I protected. We have a lot of school-material articles on indef semi, and an article like this, having been protected 13-14 times before (one of the 14 was PC), is usually safe to put on indef.

Template:Hkcpt

Indefinite semi-protection: Used in all Hell's Kitchen season articles to provide a consistent key for the contestant progress tables. Wording was chosen carefully so as to apply to all seasons so should therefore not be changed without consensus but IPs don't seem to care. AussieLegend (✉) 05:09, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

AussieLegend: I just looked into this. I'm slightly concerned that the documentation for Template:Hkcpt makes no mention of the consensus process that led to how it is currently being used. From browsing all the relevant talk pages (for each of the seasons etc.), the only place that consensus seems to have been thrashed out for this is on your user talk page: User talk:AussieLegend/Archive 20#Hell's Kitchen Transclusion. It might be sensible to avoid these kinds of issues before to include mention (and/or a link to the discussion) in the documentation or template-talk-page of why this consensus was reached. There's nothing wrong with enforcing consensus and reverting changes that go against existing consensus, but that consensus should be documented on the template page so other people—including admins handling RFPPs—can see the basis for the claim of consensus. —Tom Morris (talk) 14:43, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: A number of IP number accounts have in the last two days whitewashed reliably sourced text on this page. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 23:30, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: @Snooganssnoogans: But it looks to me like you only inserted that text a few days ago and have not started any discussion on the talk page, as would be customary under WP:BRD. Samsara 23:35, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The text is reliably sourced (Washington Post, Snopes, the Independent, Buzzfeed). The edit summaries of the IP numbers are deceptive in the extreme: two IP numbers claim that these four sources amount to "one editorial" when there's absolutely no editorial cited. The last IP number says the text isn't neutrally worded, which is just nonsense. The IP numbers appear to be familiar with Wikipedia lingo, yet they all have less than 5 edits between them until they started to whitewash the page in question. It feels like an extremely undue burden to place on veteran editors to have to go to the talk page each time that IP sockpuppets and liars decide that they want to whitewash pages. If edit summaries are demonstrably false or ridiculous, and the IP numbers appear suspiciously coordinated and familiar with Wikipedia, surely the rules do not allow the IP numbers to hold up edits? Because that's the only thing this would achieve: just a nuisance and a deterrence (note that one of the IP numbers is following me around and mass-reverting text for similar spurious reasons). No veteran editor could feasibly object to the text and sourcing that has gotten repeatedly reverted by these IP numbers. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 00:39, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – 2 editors are edit warring over the content, Thanks,. –Davey2010Talk 22:22, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Davey2010 and Daryazal: I'm not a new user but these reactions to my edits at Braun's page (a misplaced template warning at my talk, this sneaky report that should have had pings for both editors) make me wonder if Davey knows that. Daryazal was made aware that the best way forward was to continue the discussion I'd instigated but they've chosen to move the discussion from their talk page to edit summaries. Their edits are all policy-violating efforts at using Wikipedia as a promotional tool. I'm done reverting but if you think I have reason to lie and get myself blocked with a fourth revert, go ahead and save me from myself with a padlock. CityOfSilver 23:08, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
CityOfSilver "I'm not a new user" .... Well if you didn't edit war like an idiot then you wouldn't be treat like a newbie!, I don't need to ping anyone and also for the record if I really wanted to be a twat you and your new best friend would be at WP:AN3 by now so if I were you instead of WP:Assuming bad faith you might want to thank me for being rather lenient with ya!, Also for the record I have no idea what the content is - I've simply seen both editors edit war like children and as such I figured protection would be better than everyone being blocked, –Davey2010Talk 00:16, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Davey2010: "you didn't edit war like an idiot then you wouldn't be treat like a newbie This is the part where you admit you didn't look.
"I don't need to ping anyone" Never said otherwise. Still slightly less than honest.
"if I really wanted to be a twat you and your new best friend would be at WP:AN3 by now" That board is for reporting people who violate WP:3RR, which nobody did. What are you babbling about?
"you might want to thank me for being rather lenient with ya" You're not an admin. You have no lenience to use.
"Also for the record I have no idea what the content is - I've simply seen both editors edit war like children and as such I figured protection would be better than everyone being blocked" You didn't put a lot of effort into banging this trash reply out, did you? CityOfSilver 00:19, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well I did look and I saw edit warring hence this report, No that board is to report edit warring - 3rr is a brightline but below that can still' be reported, I fail to see what's the issue with the last comment ? .... Couldn't care less stop pinging because I cannot be arsed to deal with you!, Happy editing. –Davey2010Talk 00:24, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Declined This is an edit war, but I feel full protection would likely just advantage the experienced user over what appears to be a good faith new user, which is not the intent of the protection policy. I've warned CityOfSilver and requested that they take it to a noticeboard to get more eyes on it if it gets inserted again, and Davey2010 is not insisting on the protection: [88]. This is declined with ANEW being the best place to report if this occurs again. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:51, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Social Liberal Party (Brazil)

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – This is an article about a political party which is undergoing a structural change. The name of the party is PSL. There is a group called LIVRES which is orchestrating this change. A number of editors, mostly IPs, insist on substantially modifying the article by introducing the subject under the name LIVRES instead of the long-standing version PSL - which also happens to be, as far as I can tell, the official name of the party. Although asked in edit summaries for sources, no reliable ones have been provided. A requested move from PSL to LIVRES was made on the talk page, again sources were asked and none were provided. The move did not happen. Yet, editors insist in trying to rename the article without providing any sources for it. There is other absurd edits in the recent edit history which I have persistently reverted. Since this is persistent and disruptive edit behavior mostly by IP editors on a page about a political party, and edit summary and talk page requests did not seem to help, I'm requesting page protection.

Jigsaw (2017 film)

Temporary Extended Confirmed Protection: To say things have gotten out-of-hand with this article is an understatement. Two weeks ago, it was semi-protected for the persistent addition of uncited content and general disruptive editing. However, it didn't help much, as autoconfirmed users (many of which being redlink accounts and relatively inexperienced users) continued to do the exact same thing. Now that the film was just released and semi-protection has expired, the article has been overwhelmed with such edits. I seem to be the only editor actively monitoring it, and frankly I'm not sure what else would work. Full protection would be a bit much. DarkKnight2149 23:42, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: An administrator just semi-protected it, probably after seeing the edit history (seeing as they didn't respond here). Though, given how the disruptive behaviour and persistent uncited content continued through the last time it was protected, I doubt it will solve it. Already, there are signs of edit warring involving newbie redlink accounts ([90], [91], [92]). Not to mention this ongoing issue, which only just made it to the Talk Page. DarkKnight2149 18:05, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, it hasn't solved it. The disruptive editing is continuing, as predicted. Extended Confirmed Protection definitely needed. DarkKnight2149 20:48, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am afraid this is a content dispute.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:53, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Ymblanter: May I ask what is the content dispute? It's not any one particular problem that's the issue here. It's the collective disruptive editing in general, including - the addition of uncited content, blatant original research, unexplained removal of certain content, ETC. Even when the article is semi-protected, the persistent behaviour doesn't stop. It's just continued by various inexperienced users. DarkKnight2149 21:21, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I do not know, it looks like they add the text you do not like. Fine, it happens. They are not SPAs (at least, those I checked); the text is not vandalism, it does not contain BLP violations, it is not copyvio. I do not see a talk page discussion, I did not even see invitation to go to the talk page in your edit summaries, I also have not found anything at their talk pages. You do not expect us RFPP admins to go and check the text of the article more deeply than that, no? In any case, another admin will be taking a decision, not me. May be they just look at the article and see immediately that there is major disruption going. But I do not see that.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:28, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Ymblanter: Text I do not like? That sounds a lot like an implication of article ownership. No, the persistent addition of unsourced material and original research by multiple editors in multiple different instances is unquestionably disruptive. I don't see how you can claim otherwise, and I doubt any administrator will argue otherwise. And you are incorrect about a few things, as all of the things you said you do not see are right there ([93], [94], [95], [96]), and that's in regard to the only instance that can be remotely construed as a "content dispute". Are you only looking at the diffs I provided as examples, and not the entire edit history of the article? Because there is clearly an ongoing issue. If the page won't be protected, then it would certainly help if I weren't the only editor actively monitoring it.
"You do not expect us RFPP admins to go and check the text of the article more deeply than that, no?" Or you can just pay attention to the edit history. Perhaps that is why you are accusing me of strongly hinted at potential article ownership, which I do not appreciate. DarkKnight2149 22:07, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I inspected the entire recent history of the article, and I do not see reasons to protect it, for the reasons I explained. However, as I said, I will not take the decision related to the article. I would appreciate if you stop pinging me.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:09, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
To any passing observers, I am more than willing to list every recent addition of WP:OR, uncited content, ETC, right here. Just know that that would be a lot of diffs. If it appears as if a large number of edits pass by in-between reverts, it's because: A) The article gets a lot of editing traffic, and B) I am the only user that consistently monitors the article, and I tend to revert everything applicable at once. This is quite tiresome, and it would be appreciated if other users could monitor it for said disruptive activity as well (though I don't really expect anyone to see this lengthy section and the lengthy amount of contributions to the article, and say "Okay, I'll do it!"). You may have to look at the edits themselves and what precisely is being reverted, as well as expand the amount of contributions visible per page to 250 or 500. It goes back pretty far. DarkKnight2149 22:24, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Don't see a case for extended confirmed protection, and I echo the statements of Ymblanter. Darkknight2149 made this indignant revert of something he must view as an error but I can't understand what the issue is. There are some edits by redlinked accounts but it's not obvious that these people are socks; they have a variety of interests, and some have hundreds of edits. Meanwhile, the present semiprotection appears to be well-justified. EdJohnston (talk) 00:42, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@EdJohnston: I should probably clarify that that so-called "indignant revert" was me expressing my exasperation for having to revert even more original research (which has been going on non-stop, even when the article has been semi-protected). And why do administrators keep bringing up sock puppetry? No one made any implications of sock puppetry... Ever. The mentionings of redlink accounts refers to inexperienced users continuing to add original research and uncited material even after the page has been protected (as they will continue to do so; just watch them). No sock puppets were accused in the making of this RfPP report. And while administrators refuse to increase for protection for reasons that appear to suggest some sort of elaborate misapprehension of what has been reported, I guess I'll continue being the only one watching the article with zero assistance... Perhaps so that Ymblanter can make more unsubstantiated remarks that imply ownership. DarkKnight2149 01:02, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pesticide poisoning

Temp semi-protection: A group of student editors that are all IPs without a course page are failing to use the talk page and continue making large scale edits after being initially reverted. This is problematic because this topic has discretionary sanctions including 1RR that the student(s) are bypassing in part by not having registered accounts, WP:MEAT, etc. That prevents experienced editors from removing or editing their content without violating 1RR when they keep making such large scale changes. It sounds like the assignment is due in a few days, so a 3-day semi should hopefully help.

Template:Video digital distribution platforms

Temporary semi-protection: Even for a template, there has been too many forth and back reverts and I fear it has only started. I and User:JacktheHarry had a dispute, with three forth and back reversions. But we are talking it out at this time: User talk:FleetCommand#Template:Video digital distribution platforms.

The problem, however, is this revision. At first, it might look like an innocuous revert by an interested party. But the IP address (and its geolocation data) tells a different story. It belongs to a well-known harassment-minded sockpuppet and vandal. He is responsible for the vandalism attempt in Calibre (software) and hundreds of instances of vandalism and harassment over five years ago, of which we have a full list. (It is large, so please drop me a note and I will have her forward it to you.) He usually lies to make it look like a genuine dispute. Knowing this malicious person, there will be many more reverts and this is a template. Hence, the protection is required. FleetCommand (Speak your mind!) 07:03, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This page has been subject to persistent meddling by an IP. The IP initiates tedious hypothetical and semantic discussions on the talk page without providing any evidence of problems, and once editors drop out interprets silence as consensus. This is a pattern that has been occurring over 18 months. There is a more complete explanation of the problem in a short discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Film#Permament semi-protection for Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films). The guidelines should not be unilaterally altered anyway, which means there is no actual reason for an IP to edit the page. The guidelines are well maintained by the Film project. The fact is many of us are very tired of the meaningless hypothetical problems the IP dreams up, but we are being held to ransom about participation. If the IP wins support for their changes then there is no problem in revising them to incorporate an edit that has consensus, but consensus needs to interpreted from support not a lack of engagement with yet another tedious discussion.

I'm seeing more and more significant coverage of her, with many of them published within a month of today [97][98][99]. She may not have been notable in June, but I'm seeing a lot of coverage right now. Especially since the Charlottesville incident, suspected white nationalists are getting more and more coverage in media. I'm not saying she is notable, I'm just saying that a lot has changed since June, and I'm seeing a little more than passing mentions.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  06:00, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Numerous IPs are continually removing tagging. Entries and warnings on their talk pages seem to have no effect. Egghead06 (talk) 15:13, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No need for the protection. If you read the Debbie McGee page it is stated (and cited) that she was a member of the Second Generation, therefore, the citation tag that Egghead06 keeps inserting is redundant and inaccurate. If Egghead06 is so obsessed about accuracy, they just need to copy the citation from the Debbie McGee article. Alas, as a sad, wiki obsessive with an unhealthy fascination in this minor TV personality who was once married to someone mildly famous, Egghead06 is disruptively editing and abusing other wiki editors who are attempting to ensure accuracy and consistency. Egghead06 should be given a warning without any further delay.121.32.164.211 (talk) 15:20, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Continued edit warring on BLP of recently deceased editor.

Kingofaces43 (talk) 18:43, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There has been quite a bit of discussion on the talk page, but throughout, editors have been trying to reinsert it even though the talk page does not reflect such a consensus. Obviously these editors feel strongly, but even the editor above was warned to respect the BRD process before they reverted. Protection seems necessary at this point regardless of WP:WRONGVERSION to force editors to stop edit warring while discussion is ongoing. Kingofaces43 (talk) 19:40, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
