Talk:PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Recurring and persistent target of some LTA whose name I won't even mention per WP:DENY. Blake Gripling (talk) 03:00, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Declined I see one instance of abuse in the past week. There is indeed a long-term pattern of abuse but not at a frequency that I'd be comfortable protecting a talk page for. As always, please let me know if I've missed something or if you have any objections. Best, Airplaneman ✈ 17:21, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Great Famine (Ireland)

This is just strange; the first entry in the log is for unprotection, and there's no other substantial reason given, other than some vague somethingorother about "located protection log". At the very least, someone should probably take a look at this and unprotect if it's not needed, and specify a reason if it is. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 22:01, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looking into this. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 14:53, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not done See Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment#Clarification request: Great Irish Famine (Permalink). In short:
  1. The original protection is at The Great Hunger
  2. This was protected by the mentors
  3. Who had authority after an ArbCom case
  4. I opened an ARCA to figure out who can do what.
Worst. RFUP. Ever. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 18:44, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Daylight saving time

Semi-protection: Seen more vandalism as we come to the time change over this weekend in the US. Should we preemptively protect at some level (full protection might be considered) until Nov 6th (two days after the time change in the US)? PopularOutcasttalk2me! 00:20, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Doesn't seem so bad at the moment. No need to preemptively do so, but I would put good money that this will be back here in a few days! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 14:23, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Ongoing silliness from a variety of new (or "new") accounts. They'll probably get bored and go away after a brief spell of semi-protection. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 00:56, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There appears to be an uptick over the past two weeks, but really the kicker was that there were two accounts yesterday. Nothing too wild, seems like PC is working fine for the time being. Do re-report/ping me if there's a consistent increase in the next few days, though. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 14:11, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Thegooduser Let's Chat 🍁 01:42, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Don't apply protection unless disruption gets completely out of control (like what's been happening on the help desk pages). That being said, any administrator is welcome to apply protection to my user talk page without need for my approval first. Leaving this request for another admin to evaluate. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:46, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP Editor keeps adding huge pics. I keep deleting them. . Roxy, in the middle. wooF 09:21, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. This is just one editor apparently with good intentions but some competence issues. They need to be helped, possibly at the Teahouse, but if they turn to be disruptive, they need to be blocked. In either case, protection is not needed.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:35, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Benson Taylor

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This page need semi-protection, because several different IP addresses constantly remove large sections only for the edit to be undone. Semi protection would resolve this. Thank you. Orchestralnut (talk) 11:42, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

American Renaissance (magazine)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP editors POV pushing and inserting WP:FRINGE theories, going back months. Page was semi'd for this reason last month, which stopped the disruption, then it resumed within hours of semi expiring. Should be protected for longer than a month this time; since this is an inherently controversial topic it's unlikely disruption will stop any time soon. PC may also be appropriate given disruption occurs every few days. Aspening (talk) 17:58, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Page is being vandalized as soon as it is unprotected. We have locked it over 6 times. There is no stopping the IPs who keep deleting text or add "We LOVE" or stuff like that once the article is unprotected. The artist has dead and the page received a good article statues, there is not going to be any new news about him. Therefore, it is better to lock it indefinitely, since locking it temporary doesn't work. ~~ CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 08:46, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Permanent semi-protection: people (one of them indeffed) who work for the company that sells this barely notable product, will not stop adding spam and trying to remove negative content.

It's worth pointing out that Dennis has brushed up against 3RR here, reverting multiple editors, and seems to be trying to get Wikipedia:THERIGHTVERSION locked. Parsecboy (talk) 20:48, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Unlike yourself? It's really sad to see this kind of pot-kettle behavior. The only reason you posted here at all is to lobby for your preferred version, while pretending otherwise. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:58, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm merely pointing out the fact that you're trying to game the system. Admins who clerk these boards are frequently busy and can miss details. Parsecboy (talk) 21:03, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Game how? With a week's page protection? The list of seven names was on the article for over TWO YEARS, and you think I have some evil plot where I can stretch that out to two years and a WHOLE WEEK, and then, somehow, triumph? How? If consensus supports deletion, then one week will be of no consequence at all. The point of page protection is to restore the status quo and allow hotheads (that's you, a hothead admin who really ought to know better) to cool down. Locking the page with your preferred -- or mine -- version will also be of no consequence at all.

Nobody is gaming the system, and false accusations are not how you get your way. Nobody is trying to memorialize their friends, in spite of your insinuations. Everyone is editing in good faith, other than you who is throwing around personal accusations and using your admin status to bully others.

PLEASE calm down. Please have a reasonable discussion at the talk page and stop all this. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:14, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note: If anyone wants to unprotect and block instead, that might work too. This way they can talk it out. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 03:21, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Dlohcierekim - There's really no "wrong answer" in my mind, generally... If there are other editors making good revisions to the same article around the same time or recently before the edit war started, or if the edit war / content dispute only involves two editors total - then I tend to favor blocking the users over protecting the page and locking out everybody (but only if the user has been given a 3RR / edit warring notice on their user talk page over this dispute and they proceeded to continue edit warring anyways). If it involves a group of people and on an article that hasn't seen many recent legitimate edits by other users that aren't involved in the dispute, then I'll obviously favor full protection of the article over blocking the users so that they'll be able to continue (or... start... lol) a discussion and move towards a peaceful consensus immediately. For grey areas in the middle, I usually try to get a sense of the situation and how likely which action will result in the correct behaviors by the users. Protecting the page will sometimes result in the users involved just sitting and waiting it out just to continue what they were doing when the protection expires, while blocking both users might just anger them and send any discussions between them into further disrepute ("See, your reverts got us blocked!", "No, yours did!"). In your situation, applying full protection to the article was completely fine. If the dispute continues after it expires and between the same users, you'll obviously have the other option to consider. ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:26, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The anonymous users are modifying the infobox image of the article, and against what appears to be a previous consensus regarding which image to use (as pointed out by both users who reverted the edits).

Reference desk Science

Wikipedia:Reference desk/Science (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Can you add my reply to the "Flashing bright colors" section:

Shantavira, this seems a lot like what used to happen to me. Flashing is not the right word, it was more if you were looking in that direction but not right at the object, it seemed to kind of momentarily pulse in stronger color at the edges and sort of "assert itself" in your visual field, a bit like impossible colors. It wasn't only blue it could be any color so long as it was strongly saturated/non-gray. I remember green, red, yellow, even be ultramarine blue, although it had to be saturated, not just bright. I definitely don't remember it ever happening with white, for example. Tanagra212 (talk) 03:32, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: IP constantly adding their POV contradicting a source without justification. イヴァンスクルージ九十八（会話） 13:38, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:IvanScrooge98 is lying. The one adding his POV is him. In the article it is already cited a book by the noted Italian lexicographer Augusto Marinoni as a source for its content. Also it was added another source for the same content. More sources proving the correctness of the content may be added too if needed. The user requiring the semi-protection has added the only "source" (quotation marks because it's not reliable at all, it's nothing more than a random article in a one-sided blog by some unknown webmaster) he could find in the Internet contesting the authoritative thesis expressed in books for over half a century. But here nobody wants that source to be removed but just to be considered as the one less accredited theory it is. So this user is lying about: the fact somebody else than him is adding his POV; the fact the source he added is being contradicted even without justification; the fact his only source is as strong as the others cited and the others existing but not cited yet. 211.202.2.29 (talk) 14:00, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, maybe I didn’t use the right words; what I mean is: while scholars mostly agree about the theory of Ligurian substratum, this is still a theory and as such should be treated, especially considering there are little or no traces of any Ligurian settlements; and we should try to be as neutral as possible instead of presenting either POV as a matter of fact (as for they are characterised by…). I’ll see if I can be more neutral. イヴァンスクルージ九十八（会話） 14:19, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tollkeeper's cottages in Ontario

In 2017 I started to be harrassed by a determined wikistalker. They ended up earning an indefinite block. But this hasn't stopped their wikistalking. IP addresses they use have been temporarily blocked about a dozen times now. They either wait for the blocks on their regular IP addresses, or, as in this case, find a new place to get online.

Question: Geo Swan This does look suspicious, but could you provide a link to any SPI/LTA/ANI discussions involved? At the moment, it looks like a block would be more appropriate, and I cannot block without examining the relevant history. Vanamonde (talk) 01:32, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Obtain consensus first before readding please
  2. Removing non free image included without consensus
  3. RV edit war stop adding controversial image and obtain consensus FIRST
  4. Please discuss rather than wikilawyeyring.
  5. 3RR violation
  • Of course no contributor who honestly thinks a nonfree image measures up to our strict nonfree inclusion criteria has to obtain consensus first. Obtaining a prior consensus, before using a nonfree image in an article is not even possible, because our rules say nonfree images can only be used, in article space. Rules don't allow them to be uploaded so they can be used in a discussion, to obtain a consensus for their use in article space. While this should be obvious to anyone with experience with nonfree images, claims like this, or the claims in their recent reversions, are useful timewasting rhetorical ploys.

    Similarly, the claims that I was at fault for not discussing what I was doing, are highly misleading rhetorical ploys, since I explained myself on the image page, on Talk:Florin Fodor, and here, and here. My wikistalker knows I opened a discussion, because they removed a link to my explanation, that I added to the caption.

  • FWIW, temporary blocks of the IP addresses they use have only been temporarily effective, so I suspect another temporary block would only be temporarily effective.
  • I've contributed to other wikis, non-WMF wikis, including the Citizendium, none of which emulated the wikipedia's experiment with allowing anonymous contribution. The non-WMF wikis I have worked on, that don't allow anonymous contribution seem to have practically zero vandalism. Personally, I am ready to call for the termination of the experiment in allowing anonymous contribution. Geo Swan (talk) 03:44, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Suicide

Semi-protect status since 2009. The one who initiated the protect status, has since got their account blocked. User:Centrx

The article hasn't had any vandalism issues, yet many of the editors involved with editing the article don't seem to feel historical or anthropological content belongs in the article at all. While one could claim that might just mean such content doesn't belong, we can't certainly know until more discussion happens. In addition to not wanting to have my own account associated with edits here anymore than already, I feel concerned that over the years without anonymous edits certain voices might have gone silent in the discussions.

Obviously anyone currently or chronically suicidal would have reasons to want anonymity editing an article on suicide.

As a result, I believe this protection-level has indirectly caused a skew in the articles POV away from any material/sources which would condone, romanticize, or explore suicide neutrally, since editors who would want to add such content would much more likely have reasons to want to do so anonymously.

I've used Wikipedia previously as a non-registered user so I know how it works - but I can't access this page as a non-registered user, then on registering it appears I have to wait 4 days and make 10 other edits to other pages before I can fix the page I am interested to edit in the first instance. currently the process is very long-winded!

Suicide

Semi-protect status since 2009. The one who initiated the protect status, has since got their account blocked. User:Centrx

The article hasn't had any vandalism issues, yet many of the editors involved with editing the article don't seem to feel historical or anthropological content belongs in the article at all. While one could claim that might just mean such content doesn't belong, we can't certainly know until more discussion happens. In addition to not wanting to have my own account associated with edits here anymore than already, I feel concerned that over the years without anonymous edits certain voices might have gone silent in the discussions.

Obviously anyone currently or chronically suicidal would have reasons to want anonymity editing an article on suicide.

As a result, I believe this protection-level has indirectly caused a skew in the articles POV away from any material/sources which would condone, romanticize, or explore suicide neutrally, since editors who would want to add such content would much more likely have reasons to want to do so anonymously.

Not done: An extremely high-profile article with a very high risk of something going wrong if it has bad info on it. Also, Wikipedia is not your soapbox. Graham87 02:06, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What qualifies as Soapboxing in any recent discussion relating to the article Suicide?
I only find WP:Civil POV pushing and WP:Advocacy to make an article that prevents suicide at-all-costs rather than talks about suicide. Since the article doesn't include any information from these source while I have also made many undisputed points among the disputed ones about content belonging in the article, I'd like to get contributing.
Anyways, discussing "what could go wrong" if certain information appears in an article seems like WP:OUTRAGE.
The article has had semi-protect for years, while editors can face deterimental real-world consequences for what they say in this article with their identities exposed. Preventing nonexistent vandalism doesn't compare to forcing editors from at-risk areas to expose themselves to real and genuine harm in order to edit a wikipedia article.

2018 Supercars Championship

Temporary semi-protection: the page was recently protected after an IP repeatedly reverted edits to the page, changing prose to dot points. A discussion on the talk page, while brief, showed a clear preference for a prose format. The IP returned almost as soon as the protection was lifted, reverting back to dot point (as seen here and here). The prose was restored and while everything was stable for a week, the IP has since returned. Although a week has passed between the IP's edits, their edit summaries are identical to the edit summaries prior to the protection (as seen here) and they have made no effort to contribute to the talk page discussion. It's pretty clear that they will not stop. 1.144.105.32 (talk) 10:02, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sabrina Carpenter discography

Full protection until talk page consensus is reached: Ad Orientem fully protected this article last week to tell whoever involved to take it to the talk page, but the editors IJBall, MPFitz1968, LOVI33 and now Amaury are all edit warring to various degrees about "accessibility violations" and seem to think that WP:ACCESS is an excuse to have a slow-motion edit war with other editors. They need to get consensus on the talk page; the music WikiProjects on Wikipedia support using rowspans, whether that's to the detriment of visually impaired readers or not. The user Flooded with them hundreds appears to have restored the way the article was, but this was reverted by Amaury. These users have demonstrated a clear desire to continue reverting because they believe using rowspans is "discrimination". When users start accusing others of discriminating against others for no good reason and getting on some moral high ground, the article that's at the centre of all of it is in need of protection. Ss112 23:48, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's now further edit warring by the editor Amaury here, and they're recruiting other editors to edit war with them. Ss112 03:56, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe I made any mention of your discussion, or rather, you and a couple of buddies ganging up against, well, one other user. Still not a free pass to edit war. Ss112 05:08, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, then when someone posts a grossly insulting personal attack toward you, I'll just leave it and won't keep reverting it. Good deal. Amaury (talk | contribs) 05:11, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Literally what are you talking about? If you're insinuating I made a grossly insinuating personal attack towards you, you've got to be joking. You have edit warred—anyone can see that from the edit history—and you did recruit another editor to get involved—you went to their talk page and asked them to essentially start reverting—and they're a 'buddy' of yours. I must have missed the part where I hurled a bunch of insults at you and attacked your character. Ss112 05:52, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Purposely misunderstanding my words. Nice one. I'm saying that if some random IP started posting gross insulting personal attacks on your talk page, I would just leave it be, since according to you, if I kept reverting them, that wouldn't be the right thing to do. Amaury (talk | contribs) 05:54, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not "purposely misunderstanding" anything. I genuinely believed you were insinuating you had been personally insulted by either me or somebody else, but now that you've clarified what you mean, those are not comparable situations, so I don't agree and WP:3RR clearly states: "'But my edits were right, so it wasn't edit warring' is no defense." Ss112 06:04, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Expand your horizons. Don't look at things in a black and white view, because nothing is ever that simple. Maybe learn what the actual problem is. By your logic, we shouldn't keep reverting someone because they keep inserting a blatantly unreliable source into an article to support some piece of information. But this request is biased and inaccurate. Amaury (talk | contribs) 06:13, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, sure, we heard that opinion already from IJBall. Ss112 06:16, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have corrections that page protection is preventing. I am going by the comments the admin made. Indef semi-protection is not an acceptable long term solution. Obviously there was difficulty with vandal fighting tools if the solution for this page is indefinite page protection. Please lift the protection.

Please post an edit request so others can see what changes you're proposing. As Dlohcierekim said, the best way to show SP is unnecessary is by showing what changes it's preventing you from making.

It's preventing me from making any corrections. There aren't many but it's annoying to have heavy handed protection.

Heartbreak on a Full Moon

Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent sockpuppetry. Binksternet (talk) 19:34, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think extended confirmed would be a good solution. The two last users who exstensively edited the article have not been blocked. I have no idea whether they are sockpuppets or not, but if they are they should be brought to SPI and eventually blocked. I also do not see any discussion at the talk page, and the edits do not strike me as obviously disruptive. In short, I think other means should be tried before we institute extended confirmed protection. I will defer to a second opinion.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:22, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Binksternet: I'm almost at the point of blocking per WP:DUCK, but given the long history of the supposed sock master and the number of active accounts, and also given how popular it is to war over music genre, I think this needs to be documented (at the very least; blocks would be preferable) at SPI. RFPP is not well-suited to a lengthy discussion of behavior. I would be happy to revisit this afterward. Vanamonde (talk) 23:25, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Baraboo High School

Unprotection: There is no reason to fully protect this article, several people were politely adding relevant content to this page and having polite debate about it, until in fact the person who asked for this protection, simply removed their content without discussion, repeatedly. De facto, this one person has now succeeded in censoring this page, which I find highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The relevance of the content that was in the process of being added, edited and redacted is hard to deny; the school is making international headlines because of this content as shown here f.i.: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46195299 Several other people on the talk page are also complaining about the rather authoritarian way in which this page has been locked to prevent current events from being part of this page. The arguments of the person who deleted other people's contributions about this content being irrelevant, seem to be based on his personal opinion about the event, rather than what external sources report and how several authorities and institutions have responded to the event, as evidenced by the BBC article (and many other sources).

Stacey Abrams

Temporary pending changes: BLP policy violations – Subject is candidate for Governor of Georgia, running against Brian Kemp. Previous page protection expired the day after election day. However, the results are disputed, media organizations still haven't called the race, and both sides are making accusations against one another. This dispute has spilled over into this article, with users adding blatantly POV content like saying that she is the Governor-elect(suggesting she won), or that she stole the election.

Question: SamHolt6 I'm seeing one move out of mainspace, and two AfC declines. There's no history at Berry itt. At this point, protection would be premptive, which it shouldn't be. Is there evidence that the creator is ignoring advice at AfC, or that they are using socks, or otherwise creating this in a disruptive manner? Vanamonde (talk) 00:51, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Err sorry for any confusion @Vanamonde93:. The story is Draft:BERRY IIT was created and sumbitted to AfC, but failed to pass criteria and was declined twice. Yesterday Berry iit was created and speedy deleted, and today BERRY IIT was created in the mainspace before being moved to the draftspace by me. All three versions of the article (2 drafts, 1 now-deleted article) were created by the same editor.--SamHolt6 (talk) 00:59, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Oshwah: As the protecting admin. Anarchyte (talk | work) 04:06, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but as I've said twice on my user talk page today (see here and here), this article is absolutely within WP:ARBPIA and WP:ARBPIA3 and I believe that the examples and reasoning I provided demonstrate this. If any user disagrees, they're welcome to file a request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement and have the article examined by the community and a determination made there... I'm much more concerned about actions reflecting the right consensus and policies than whether I'm right or wrong :-). If it's determined that it's not within WP:ARBPIA or WP:ARBPIA3, that's completely fine and we can unprotect the article then. However, until this is done, the protection needs to remain instated per WP:ARBPIA3. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:59, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Lots of vandalism edits by a number of IPs. They get reverted constantly, but semi-protection would help stop the madness.

Prisoner (TV series)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Several anon IPs (perhaps the same person) adding unsourced info. I've been removing the worst unsourced stuff, but it keeps getting re-added. One IP cited a wikia fanpage as a source for their re-adds, and threatened to have me blocked. Rather than edit war, I think a short protection will produce more fruitful discussion. Ewen Douglas (talk) 17:58, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note: after attempting to re-open discussion, I got a note on my talk page telling me "All and any comments posted on my talk page by you will be instantly removed. Look it up." Also, no response on the article talk page to my latest attempts to discuss the changes. Ewen Douglas (talk) 18:12, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That is correct. Your abuse on my talk page is not welcome and will continue to be removed. There is no need to protect this article other than from the edit warring Ewen Douglas. All of the contributions Ewen Douglas is objecting to are sourced accurately and reliably. It is a lie to support their losing edit war to claim otherwise. The wikia references were simply one of many sources provided, something Ewen Douglas fails to mention here. Strange that. There are discussions open on the article talk page and on Ewen Douglas’ talk page, so there is no reason for Ewen Douglas to be repeatedly editing my talk page in an attempt to goad me into their escalating edit war, which has been thoroughly defeated. 211.24.109.210 (talk) 18:33, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Another note: Anon IP has added books to the section, and after I requested page #'s, it appears (see this link) that those pages do not support the original research in the first two sentences of that paragraph. I am hesistant to remove it until page protection is granted, as the combative attitude of the IP editor is evident above. He's now also spamming the article with "citation needed" tags everywhere: here, here, and here. Also this sarcasm on my talk page doesn't seem constructive. Ewen Douglas (talk) 19:19, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Another one this diff is yet another bombardment of the article with "citation needed" tags. I think this qualifies as disruptive editing. I'm still holding off on editing any further until an admin can take a look. Ewen Douglas (talk) 20:34, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Extended confirmed protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I see edits from the IP that reference non-internet sources that were reverted immediately afterwards, and I also see content that's been the subject of edit warring and ongoing disruption back-and-forth on top of other concerns. In the end, this is a content dispute and this needs to be discussed on the article's talk page. Please do so, work things out peacefully, and report any continued disruption to ANI if necessary. The other disruption can be handled easily, but the content disputes should take priority. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:38, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: - Ongoing (years) of IP vandalism. If you're not familiar with this page, the actual country calculations are generally static except for once a year when new data (a new HDI report) is published. Most of the disruption comes from drive-bys that think their country should be higher up on the list, irregardless of sourcing; the calculations I mentioned above are published by the UNDP. It needs indefinite protection (been watching/editing this page for years), but I think Pending changes protection is the way to go as it leaves the page open, just that any disruption will not be visible.

That is what I was looking at, my apologies if I was not clear. The history for the redirect shows it was created in 2012 with minimal editing since (aside from flipping back and forth between a redirect and article.) I still am not sure it merits protection with only a handful of edits and no formal discussion about the page for deletion or conversion into a redirect but would defer to any other admin who sees this.

Declined @NikitaStupin: A casual glance suggests that this is a content dispute which needs to be resolved on the relevant article talk pages, and your assessment that the vandalism is "permanent" (when anything on this site is edited or reverted so easily) and that Бровар has been on the site for five years without being blocked further supports that in my mind. If Бровар's edit are indeed vandalism (be sure to read WP:NOTVAND before saying it is), then the solution would be dealing with that user, not locking the page.

Wikipedia talk:Cascade-protected items/content

Indefinite full protection: Should be given full protection to match its parent page, given that the cascading protected pages are listed on the parent page and edit requests should occur at this page’s target (as it is a redirect), meaning that there’s no reason to modify this page.

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 17:59, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, considering that the parent page was formerly the content at its parent that was moved to a subpage, this isn’t preemptive, but rather ensuring that the edit requests for cascading protection work as intended. Putting the protected content on a subpage broke the simplicity of making edit request for protection. But, hey, it’s not like I’ve notice these things over the years of editing or anything like that. Steel1943 (talk) 18:04, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Full protection. This BLP article about a conservative politician has been the subject of consistent trolling (changing his gender and pronouns, adding to LGBT and transgender categories) over a period of several weeks now following a stupid comment several weeks ago. There was some media coverage around the Wikipedia vandalism, and though all media interest in the comments died down weeks ago the trolling hasn't stopped. Semi-protection failed to stop it and extended-confirmed-protection has failed to stop it, because invariably someone else with a long-dormant account decides yet again it'd be funny to troll the article. This really needs full protection for as long as it takes for these people to go away. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:42, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Human Appeal

Extended-confirmation: Per ARBCOM decision - WP:ARBPIA3#500/30. A large chunk of the article is related to funding of Hamas and the banning of this organization by Israel (and others) - IPs (and a new user) have been blanking large portions of content which is clearly conflict related. Icewhiz (talk) 11:42, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I also came here to request protection. I stumbled upon this article while patrolling recent changes and there appears to be some unusual activity. False claims in edit comments given as reason for deleting sourced content. A very old mirrored version of this page reveals identical "old" version of article with "old" name of organisation. (Human Appeal International vs Human Appeal). Deleting editors claims of--"that is a different organisation"----when it is simply the same organisation with a slightly different name... Something odd here and it needs sorting-out not edit warring. TeeVeeed (talk) 11:52, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The edits are being done brand new vandal user accounts or IP addresses, the later being the majority source of the vandal edits. The reason for why I ask for pending-changes-protection is because the vandal edits are spaced out by a week or two or three days, thus not too rapid. The reason why I am asking for indefinite is because this vandalism trend can be seen going back to 2012 or even before like 2011, this can be easily seen via seeing last 1000 edits on the page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pepperoni&offset=&limit=1000&action=history.

First of all, there is a content dispute going deeper than just this issue. Also, a video is not a reliable source because anyone can post a video on YouTube saying that they have a disease. Without an offical record/medical documention, it’s not a reliable. — Matthew Wong (at PMA), 18:53, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite pending changes: BLP policy violations – I would like to make a case for indefinite pending changes at this article (or failing that a long term pending changes). The article is a current high level football referee. It is a BLP with a low number of watchers [50] and is subject to sporadic bursts of ip and new editor vandalism. It has 92 edits from 50 users this year and there has only been one sentence surviving, two new categories added and a change in picture [51], which suggests that the majority of edits are vandalism and reverts. In this time it has already been semi protected for a week. For precedent with referees see Walt Coleman (indefinite pending changes) and Pete Morelli (indefinite semi). .

What is the difference between a tremor and a fasciculation? Is it just that a fasciculation happens randomly, while a tremor happens rhythmically and repeatedly? 208.95.51.53 (talk) 18:36, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What is the island in Lake Vostok? The article says "In 2005 an island was found in the central part of the lake.[25]" and the reference only says "He added that current efforts to investigate the lake had revealed an island located in the central part of the lake." Is there actually air stuck in there too and land is sticking out of water into it, or is the lake donut shaped with an ice pillar in the middle, or were the scientists talking about something third? 78.0.203.173 (talk) 23:11, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
