The Independent

Indefinite semi-protection: This page has been semi-protected before but it has failed to stop consistent editing of people adding the claim that it is "Russian-owned", which is not cited and there is no consensus for. This is consistently added by IP's and non-registered users without any discussion. Last semi-protection was initiated on 9 December 2019‎. Helper201 (talk) 21:35, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

United States Senate

Full protection: Due to "Persistent long-term vandalism by anonymous users over many years," page was protected on 22 Sep 2019 to require autoconfirmed or confirmed access. However, with the Senate now foremost in the news, this page is being vandalized by users with such access. Please raise level of protection. NedFausa (talk) 20:09, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There was only one offending user and that person has been blocked. Until there is longer term or more frequent problems, the current protection level should suffice. Fuzheado | Talk 01:17, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Revision history shows that the content of Flyboyrob2112's vandalism was exactly the same as Fullmetal2887's, which the latter posted first. The only difference is that Flyboyrob2112 edit warred over these 3,976‎ bytes, whereas Fullmetal2887 did not. Yet administrator El C indefinitely blocked Flyboyrob2112 for disruptive editing, and did not block Fullmetal2887. I don't understand how Flyboyrob2112's edit warring is so much more disruptive than Fullmetal2887's original vandalism. Flyboyrob2112 legitimately earned a block. For the same offense, though, Fullmetal2887 is free to boast about publicly discrediting Wikipedia. Sure seems like a double standard. NedFausa (talk) 02:56, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Whereas to me, it sure seems like an assumption of bad faith on NedFausa's part. For the record, I was unaware of the edit warring, or there being another user making the same edits. Or what those edit were. I blocked for disruptive editing, as is clear from the block log, due to the continued usage of "go fuck yourself" in the edit summaries. El_C 03:30, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@NedFausa: I've gone ahead and warned Fullmetal2887. As with El_C, I only saw the one user's disruptive content. Nevertheless, the fact that one other user was a problem does not warrant the total lockdown of an article which is a drastic measure we rarely take. The proper remedy would be to bring that particular user up for blocking, rather than fully protecting the article. - Fuzheado | Talk 08:16, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2019–20 Big Bash League season

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Suarez9348 (talk) 08:02, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Perhaps I'm missing something but there seems to be lots of IP editing that is not reverted and seem productive. Therefore, until the vandalism is explained/illustrated better, I don't see the urgency of semi-protecting this. Fuzheado | Talk 08:24, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Suarez9348 (talk) 07:53, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Since this is the first time we are semi-protecting it, we usually don't go with indefinite right away. Try for 1 month first and come back if there are more issues. Fuzheado | Talk 08:21, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nish Kumar

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Regular anonymous vandalism calling this comedian unfunny, spiking over the past few days. Lord Belbury (talk) 08:23, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Johnuniq (talk) 01:09, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator observation) @Magitroopa: Episode summaries are fine as long as they are brief summaries of the plot usually around 200 words, are not directly copied from a copyrighted source (i.e. Hulu episode summaries) and not a concern for a BLP violation. MOS:TVEPISODELIST is a good resource for list of TV episodes in general. Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 01:22, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Triple J Hottest 100, 2013

Semi-protection: Repeated vandalism from a varying IP address, always changing the list of songs to a different, made-up one, never with any comments or references to even try to justify it. This has been going on for over a year, though I only noticed recently. I'm not completely sure if semi-protection or 'pending changes' is more appropriate, so you can choose the latter if you want. Exallonyx (talk) 06:11, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Exallonyx: I can't understand the edits. Can you point out a couple of things in the most recent edit that are bogus and briefly explain how you know that? Can you do that for an old edit, say two months ago? Perhaps blocking Special:Contributions/2001:44B8:5153:3E00::/64 would work, but before blocking I would need evidence that the edits are obviously bad. Otherwise semi-protection for a month might do. Johnuniq (talk) 06:57, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnuniq: Sure, the most noticeable thing is that, in actuality, the song "Young and Beautiful" was #7 and "Lanterns" was #22 - but the person editing it keeps switching those 2 songs around, as well as replacing some lower songs with ones that weren't actually in the top 100 (for example "Oh Sailor", "When I Was Young" and "Blood on the Leaves"). You can see the correct list on the radio station's official site here, and also on this unofficial site that collates the annual lists here. This person (assuming it's just one person, and not a bot) has made this same set of changes many times, for example in November 2019, July 2019 and February 2019. It's pretty strange, I have no idea why someone would be so dedicated to this. Exallonyx (talk) 09:39, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Exallonyx: Strange. We have to proceed slowly and the page has never protected before, so I started with one month. That probably won't work. Please notify me if you see future problems and I'll take it further. It would be better if there were a short explanation politely setting out the facts on the article talk page. Johnuniq (talk) 00:51, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Help:IPA/Saidi Arabic

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – An editor has, incorrectly, started an XfD for the above-captioned page at MfD because another extendedconfirmed editor is edit warring and reverting the redirect to an earlier state in which it was not a redirect. Nevertheless, as Robert McClenon and I pointed out at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Help:IPA/Saidi Arabic, RfD is, absolutely and completely, the proper venue. So, can an administrator kindly procedurally close the MfD, initiate an RfD, and then either page protect and/or block the extendedconfirmed edit warring editor until the conclusion of the XfD? Thanks. Doug Mehus T·C 01:45, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The editor in question, Sefarat90, is autoconfirmed, so temporary extendedconfirmed protection should be sufficient, and would allow Justlettersandnumbers to re-nominate, correctly, at RfD. Thanks. --Doug Mehus T·C 01:52, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

El C, Nice...I didn't know you can apply page-specific blocks. That's very helpful, and a good approach. How common are page-specific blocks? I suppose in many cases, they don't work because the editor is vandalizing multiple pages, but when it's limited to a single page or two, I think it's a wonderful tool. Doug Mehus T·C 02:00, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'm getting increasing use of it since it has been made available recently. Indeed, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But it is nice to have in the toolset, in any case. El_C 02:03, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stone butch

Semi-protection: This page has seen persistent years-long vandalism by newly registered or IP users, and was semi-protected for much of 2019. User(s) appear to be watching this page over a very long timespan to systematically delete any WP:RS that mentions the existence of transgender identities. Often these are extremely simple summaries of strong perennial sources, totally blanked without explanation. The only attempts to find a WP:CONSENSUS that were ever made at Talk:Stone butch were made by frustrated content contributors who wanted to know why their reliable sources were getting persistently blanked. Honestly I strongly recommend keeping this page on lock down for a very long time -- the page history shows that this has been a site of edit warring for at least 6 years! It does however look like semi-protection works against this particular instance of vandalism, so I don't think anything stronger is needed at this time. - Astrophobe (talk) 20:42, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. GABgab 19:27, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I feel the need to object to this. I haven't edited Wikipedia on my own account for seven years, since once I'm logged in, I get invested. I do anonymously fix vandalism, formatting errors, and obvious POV-pushing anonymously when I see them. In this case, I noticed that User:Nableezy, who has been warned multiple times with regards to Israel-Palestine-related comments, was patrolling this page to ensure that his POV-pushing, factually inaccurate edits remained in. I decided it would be pointless to do anything about it myself, but pointed it out to a pro-Israel acquaintance, who decided to revert the edits. I told him that it would be reverted within 24 hours (slightly off, but not by much) since Nableezy has reverted several other anonymous users who previously fixed the same issue, but I did not anticipate that page protection would be requested by the rule-violating editor, much less that they would be granted.
I don't personally care much about the I/P conflict, and it's people like Nableezy—long-term editors who exist mainly to promote an agenda and have found ways to abuse Wikipedia's rules and policies in pursuit of said agenda—who are the reason I stopped regularly editing Wikipedia in the first place. (They show up in the weirdest places, never face consequences, while they affected a small minority of pages I edited, the mental energy I spent dealing with them was too much.) I don't really want to get involved with a user like this now, but I'm always upset to see pages protected unnecessarily. As such, I feel compelled to suggest that helping a long-time user with a history of disruptive editing protect his POV-pushing, factually inaccurate edits is emphatically not what page protection is for. The problem here is very clearly Nableezy and not the anonymous users who keep reverting him. --2605:A601:AAEA:7200:3441:423D:F523:123B (talk) 06:04, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
But the problem you bring up can't be solved via this page here. Pages which fall in the scope of ARBPIA are somewhat sensible, and prone to be protected at the slightest whiff of disruption. Try discussing with Nableezy and the protecting admin first, and for more grievances there is WP:ANI. Lectonar (talk) 07:27, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I started to do that, and in the process of gathering evidence realized that there's a rule that says IP's and new accounts can't edit any article connected to the I/P conflict. User:Nableezy has referred to this rule obliquely, but it's clearly not one which anyone who is not an active user actively involved in I/P articles is going to know. The protection is all I cared about, and apparently it's policy, with this sort of thing being the entirely predictable result. --2605:A601:AAEA:7200:4463:B5A2:D219:C989 (talk) 08:53, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotect: Ten years ago, this article was protected as a result of being repeatedly recreated as an attack page of a BLP. Protecting admin is now inactive. A different Chad Bryant is a notable historian (author of Prague in Black).

(Non-administrator comment) @Buidhe: If you provide a draft of a well written article that could go here, then protection can be lifted. InvalidOS (talk) 13:05, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
With a quick look at your userpage, it seems that you're definitely capable of making a well-written article that can go here. InvalidOS (talk) 13:07, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Right now it should be a redirect, because Bryant is mostly known as the author of the book and does not meet NPROF otherwise. But he is working on another book which will probably get attention and at that point it will make sense to create an article. Sorry if I wasn't clear. Shirik has not made an edit since February 2019. buidhe 15:35, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ad Orientem, any way we could call for long-term (1-2 years) of semi-protection, and, in tandem with that, indefinite pending changes protection? Doug Mehus T·C 01:04, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Dmehus: I generally operate on the belief that in most cases if you need to protect a page for longer than a year, indefinite is the way to go. That said, I'm open minded if you have a rational for this. Perhaps indefinite PC would be a better starting point? -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:09, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ad Orientem, oh my only concern is that, typically, the original protecting admin has to be consulted to request unprotection. In your case, I don't see you hanging up your mop any time soon so it's probably fine. My concern otherwise is that sometimes (see my unprotection requests), the admins are desysopped due to inactivity, and it ties up unprotection requests. Also, sometimes, indefinite protection get forgotten about. But, you're a very active admin who isn't expected to retire...plus, it's not full protection either, so no strong concerns against indefinite protection.

Reduce Protection to Semi-Protection The disruption seems to be caused by most unregistered users.Regice2020 (talk) 09:13, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Then pending changes, which is a lower level of protection, is the most appropriate level of protection. Semi-protection would also block non-autoconfirmed registered users. Protecting administrator MelanieN's decision to protect with pending changes, which allows rollback- and non-rollback permissioned editors to rollback non-confirmed edits, was, I think, the best outcome here. Let it play out the two weeks and, if semi-protection is warranted, then that can be considered. However, the way you've described it, this would be an increase of protection not needed. Doug Mehus T·C 16:47, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Explain why there is a problem on the article talk page and ask the new editor to contribute there. That might be a bit hard after the two warnings on the user's talk. Assuming this is not a perennial issue at that article (if it were, there should be a link to an explanation), it would be much better to explain things clearly without templates or more than a couple of blue links. Johnuniq (talk) 07:12, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnuniq: Thanks for taking the time to review my demand.

@Wikaviani: Sorry but I don't have time at the moment to investigate. A quick look at the talk page and the most recent archive failed to find any explanation.

America is still the place

Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing – Per the discussion at autoconfirmed editor 5patrickgilles5's talk page, as well as my own talk page, I'm requesting temporary extended confirmed protection of this redirect to allow the consensus process at RfD to play out. The editor insists on creating an uncited bibliographic entry for this article name, which I've kindly explained Wikipedia is WP:NOTBIBLIOGRAPHY and that the correct place to incubate their article is at Draft:America is still the place. Since the editor is still not assuming good faith and adhering to WP:BRD, WP:ECP for a week or so is necessary. Doug Mehus T·C 22:21, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @Dmehus: This is too confusing for WP:RFPP and it is at ANI where any action should occur. It is unlikely that protection would be used to back one side in what boils down to a content dispute. It would be better if you did not raise so many issues with so many blue links—just focus on the article and why it should be protected. Johnuniq (talk) 06:53, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Johnuniq, Note: the decline is fine, but this wasn't a content dispute and that I wasn't involved. I was the disruptive editing-reverting editor, who undid the good-faith attempt to create a non-acceptable sub-stub. When the editor refused and persisted, the editor failed to follow WP:BRD and became disruptive, so, still not reporting him to ANI, I requested page protection here first to let the RfD that I established (since he had refused my offer to discuss at the talk page). Only after the aspersion casting on my and his talk page did I take him to ANI. He's been warned by myself, MarchJuly, John of Iregon, and administrator El C not to continue his disruptions. They seem to have abated, so protection is not warranted, but if he continues or resumes the disruptive, I will re-request protection here to let the RfD play out. Would that be okay?

I concur with Ad Orientem's assessment. Only looked through the first page of 50 revisions and saw, maybe, one good-faith reversion.

MelanieN, multiple users/ip addresses have been adding livestreams and external links. They have also been covering each others edits, so a simple revert doesn't work and they have been adding the links back as soon as they are removed. Could you take another look at this one? Thank you. Lcodyh803 (talk) 00:16, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @MelanieN: Those disruptive edits with link are usually infected and sends bad network traffic upon clicking. That was the reason why i requested early page protection to avoid some disruptive edits of infection links. These link can be easily accidentally clicked upon loading the page or simply scrolling with touchscreens . Regice2020 (talk) 00:45, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. It's disrupting a lot the article. It happens frequently in UFC events, specially PPVs. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 01:18, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I suspect maybe MelanieN "declined" protection because the disruptive editors were already blocked and perhaps forgot to use the "users blocked" template instead? From what I'm seeing, there's not enough disruptive activity for temporary page protection, particularly the proactive protection sought. MelanieN may, on the other hand, consider pending changes protection. I would be supportive of that. Doug Mehus T·C 01:39, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Pending-changes protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Thanks for the input and advice, all.

Conversion therapy‎

Indefinite semi-protection: Semi-protection just expired. This is a very controversial article and it's never beneficial when this article is not semi-protected.

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. El_C 02:09, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
El C, articles that are subjected to persistent disruption and vandalism are routinely indefinitely semi-protected after assessment. We know from history that it's never a good thing for this article to be unprotected. We don't need to wait for the next time that disruption happens. Acroterion shouldn't have to keep applying semi-protection. Maybe I should have went straight to Acroterion about this. This request isn't much different than me requesting that you restore indefinite semi-protection to the Race and intelligence article, except that it had indefinite semi-protection before it temporarily had full-protection.

Acroterion, thanks for commenting. I don't think we should wait or that it should have temporary semi-protection yet again. But okay.

Relations between early Christianity and Judaism

Unprotection: I'd like to fix this double redirect, and since the redirect was protected by Vassyana some 12 years ago, I don't think indefinite sysop-level protection is required anymore. Having said that, given the topical nature of the title of the redirect and its target, I do think it could be beneficial to downgrade protection to either of semi-protection or pending changes. I'm asking here because I noted that Vassyana appears to have been procedurally desysopped due to inactivity many years ago, and pinging them in case they wish to comment. Doug Mehus T·C 19:28, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Muboshgu Sounds good, I've added rcats {{R from merge}} and {{R with history}} to better identify this redirect's purpose. This should also allow the bots to fix the double-redirects, as I assume bots are at extendedconfirmed-equivalent level? And secondly, as the most recent administrator to alter protection, should future changes be warranted in another 12 years, should editors go to you first (assuming you haven't retired your mop)?

Both of these would solve the problem at hand. --Doug Mehus T·C 23:03, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. The current issue has been discussed in talk pages but issues still persist. There is still constant vandalism to this page and that’s why it was protected twice previously. This page should be protected indefinitely as there is regular IP vandalism present. If it were protected indefinitely it would cause far less disruptive edits and there would be less need to try and reason with IP vandals. Gilbert.JW (talk) 19:09, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Mandalorian

Full-protection: High level of edit-warring beginning in the article. Note that a full prot had to be used on this article before; doing so appears to have been the only thing to get long-term editors to come to the table and sort out a compromise consensus. New edits are defying that consensus version (seen here), and there is very little reason to believe that it will stop with a single revert. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 05:11, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined for now. When this page was full-protected a month ago, it was because of an edit you were reverting which is essentially the same edit you are currently reverting. The current RfC is quickly leaning into a WP:SNOW close in favour of that edit, and besides we've already tried protection and I don't see how doing the same thing again is supposed to help. I can think of something that will, though. Do you see where I'm going with this? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:47, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IPA template tables

Indefinite semi-protection: The core content of the parent templates has been split into these subpages since the parents were indefinitely semi-protected, rendering the protection less effective. The templates are used to provide navigation links in hundreds of pages, including International Phonetic Alphabet and International Phonetic Alphabet chart, which receive thousands of pageviews every day. This has resulted in inexperienced editors, though in good faith they may be, experimenting with the tables without realizing the disruptive consequences they have on these pages.

Minecrafter0271, is not the reason that there are no issues in the edit history because the article is semi-protected? – Muboshgu (talk) 20:37, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Muboshgu: Imagine this scenario. A vandal on Wikipedia learns that their not auto-conformed. What can that vandal do? Wait until they're auto-conformed, then go nuts. I also would like to bring up sock puppets. If they create a sock puppet, who does good things until their auto-conformed, they can also go nuts. So, given the fact that this hasn't happened to the article in question, I think that it's safe. Minecrafter0271 (talk) 22:00, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment:: Actually, it has been semi-protected since 2009 because it has always been a magnet for vandalism, and had required a significant number of semi-protections in the years before then. For a short period, it was flipped over to pending changes but most edits were vandalism, which showed it was not a suitable candidate for PC. It would need to be watched very closely if unprotected.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Suggesting indefinite semi-protection. Pending changes was applied to this page in July 2019, but since then there have been lots of vandalism reverts and only a number of constructive IP edits (6-7 if I counted correctly). Looking through the protection log, the vandalism has continued after multiple protections, so I doubt it would stop when protection expires. Note that Light (which has a similar number of pageviews) is indefinitely semi-protected. –Sonicwave talk 00:29, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – If not indefinite, please consider giving this page longer protection. Someone - maybe one editor, maybe more - drops in over irregular intervals and does "comedy" vandalism against Whitby, perhaps because of his profile in his world. The vandalistic entries outnumber real edits. It's a pain in the A monitoring it and fighting it off. Can it please have an indefinite or at least lengthy break from this? .

Vilnius

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. This article has gotten to a high enough quality (mostly due to my extensive edits based on the completely reliable sources) and now some IP vandalism is persistently taking place because somebody tries to rewrite some things their way without providing any references. These IP addresses constantly changes, however the edits are the same, so they are clearly performed by the same person. He simply ignored what I tried to tell him and continues edits war. Furthermore, I think this article is of a high importance to gain constant protection like Lithuania because Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania, which is member of the European Union, and 1000+ people reads this article everyday, so random edits and IP vandalism shouldn't be possible. I would suggest allowing only the registered Wikipedia users with some experience to make edits in this article content. -- Pofka (talk) 19:45, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected – 1 month. The IP has been warring against the usage of Tadeusz Piotrowski's book, "Poland's Holocaust", as a source.

Indefinite move protection: Occasional but regular move attempts to "Kyiv Metro" without discussion (even by veteran admin User:JzG recently) for the past decade, ignoring the highly political nature of any move from "Kiev" to "Kyiv". -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 02:12, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Sameboat - 同舟: Is there a link to a discussion showing a strong consensus for the current title? I just had a quick skim of talk and archives and cannot see anything. If not, move protection would have to be declined. Perhaps there is a discussion about Kiev? Johnuniq (talk) 04:29, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnuniq: This is the link. The name is not a trademark, hence the article can only be renamed if the article on the city is renamed.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:45, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Ymblanter: Thanks but I would like to see a link to the actual moratorium discussion. That notice at the top of Talk:Kiev (at the bottom of the talk header) includes "may be read here and here" but the two here links are broken and a quick search of the archives does not find them. I'm not in the mood to dig more at the moment but if this is still here much later I'll look again, fix the links at Talk:Kiev and indefinitely move protect Kiev Metro with an edit summary pointing to the moratorium. Johnuniq (talk) 08:53, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Johnuniq, the lead spelled it Kyiv, so was at odds witht he article title, so I moved it. That's the preferred transliteration now. Kiev is preferred by Russians, Kyiv by Ukrainians. Kiev was prefrerred by the previous pro-Russian regime, but, as we heard in testimony before Congress, Kyiv is what's currently in use by diplomats (who are careful about such things). This explains it well. See also Pune, Kolkata, Mumbai. Transliterations with overtones of imperial occupation are not popular these days. Guy (help!) 08:59, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry to mention this again but explicit concensus resulting from an rfc was that the current spelling is Kiev. I will post here a ref when I am back to my computer.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:21, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnuniq: @JzG: This is the discussion--Ymblanter (talk) 15:02, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ymblanter, le sigh, classic Wikipedia: much digging in of heels.
The BBC changed in May 2019. WaPo appears to have changed last year too (though their search is rather borked). NYT as well. And The Times. FT changed in September last. Ukraine embassy and tourist board both use Kyiv. I'm struggling to find any mainstream source in English that still uses Kiev.
Regardless, I moved it because the lead spelled it Kyiv, which did not surprise me as I am well aware that the Russian transliteration is no longer preferred, especially given the ongoing invasion.
I note in passing that it's also easy to find sources that call the country "The Ukraine", also considered a Russian imperialist imposition. Thankfully we don't do that. Guy (help!) 15:24, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I try to keep a low profile here, because whatever happens I always get accused in being a Russian imperialist, solely on the basis of what my mothertongue is (and actually get such accusations on a weekly basis), but these arguments indeed were considered at the RfC, mainly by the native English speakers, and did not get a majority.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:41, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous IP hoppers have been constantly changing or adding the birth date and place for many months (e.g. [15]) without any explanation and without citing any reliable source, ignoring all requests and warnings.

Permanent semi-protection. This article has neverending problems with trivial vandalism on a daily basis from people who think it's funny because of a joke in Bojack Horseman ages ago and it's really tiring for editors to have to watch every edit to the article from IP addresses and new users in the extremely likely prospect that they're more vandalism.

Manchester

Semi-protection: Long term edit warring by IPs (probable socks of User:Swissair123 / User:EGCC123). Trying to insert info into the lead of Manchester, but using unreliable sources for it, ranging from blogs to (now) sources which are about Glasgow and contradict the point they try to make[16]. This was noted at the talk page (Talk:Manchester#Recent changes to the lead section), but not replied to, and gets blindly reinserted. Discussion is happening at Talk:Birmingham#Discussion happening in the article for Manchester. IP edits are getting more heated as well (edit summaries in full caps, heated statements like "Wikipedia Editors, is this your way of forcing through your own agendas and pretending to not have a bias to the general public? If it is, then that is shameful."), but so far not blockworthy (if they aren't a sock that is). Semi-protecting the articles (probably best to semi-protect Birmingham as well, edit war going on there too, with the IP removing sourced statements[17]). More discussion and less article editing is needed here. Fram (talk) 10:37, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MER-C: and David Gerard this editor M1h4jl0m1 is adding affiliate links (or could we worse) to BitMEX. Obvious violation. Probably related to the earlier IP address edits that I reverted a few days earlier on BitMEX as well. There is a risk that this type of url hijacking could occur on other cryptocurrency exchange articles as well, with a low risk being simply a affiliate signup link. But a higher risk could later be a spoof website design to steal login details. Something we need to be on the lookout for. Pinging you on this RPP just as a heads up. Thanks!

Matianian was blocked ofcourse, but then he kept coming back to the page to insert the exact same paragraph over and over again.

The page was protected by User:Muboshgu for a week in 27 January, but the user came back the same day the protection ended!!! So Muboshgu protected the page again for two weeks in 4 February, and again, the user came back today to insert the same text here!!! So persistent...

The risk of distruptive editing are very high, so while is acceptable to semi-protected in 24 hours it is not sufficient to have only for 24 hours. IMO, any article that have very high attention should have semi-protected at least 1 week. If this article was unprotected in next 24 hours many IP users return to disrupt the editing and vandalize the content.

@Ymblanter: There were three IPs involved in the vandalism and two others reverting, so I guess I mis-read one of the diffs of the newbie kiddie-sounding username and didn't think twice about it. Still seems coincidental they just happened across the article while it was happening, but I'll keep a closer eye on it (and them) for a while.

  • Comment This is partially my fault, as the editor in question brought an additional source covering the subject and asked me if it was enough to establish notability. I didn't have time to assess it in the context of the other coverage available, so I suggested that they add it to the article and boldly recreate it on the grounds that the new source may have been a sufficient improvement over the AfD. Now that the edit has been reverted, I wouldn't anticipate any further edit warring. signed, Rosguill talk 18:12, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Schiffer Publishing

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There are on-going problems with IPs removing information from the article, lasting two+ years. The edit summaries include accusations that information could have been added by the two authors of the book in question (it was not, as I'm not affiliated with the autors, the University of Utah, nor Oxford University Press). The first one is a static IP that is located 20 miles from the company HQ is Atglen PA: Special:Contributions/96.83.215.201, suggesting a COI. The latest is a dynamic IP, also from Pennsylvania: Special:Contributions/73.165.26.73. They have been reverted by multiple editors, but the removals continue.

I added Template:PolParsEstCatDecade (27 transclusions) to this request as it needs the same response. Johnuniq (talk) 02:25, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnuniq, Thanks for adding that. I came here to add it myself, but you beat me too it.
I regard cat headers as a special vulnerability, because if they are screwed up, then the categories break. I have made several other similar requests in the last few days, for cat header templates, and hey have all been approved.

Temporary semi-protection. Previously protected, we are now seeing the return of an IP hopping vandal who is making edits such as this to this BLP. A great many of these edits have been suppressed previously. See extensive log to that effect. Last protection for this was for a week. Recommending something longer this time. --Hammersoft (talk) 22:35, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. Widr (talk) 23:04, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Widr: Users being blocked isn't sufficient. That's why I'm asking for the protection. The person in question is in a dynamic host pool, and is dancing across IPs. To date, they have used at least 9 different IP addresses to conduct this vandalism. This was previously protected for the same reason [34]. If the article isn't protected, the person will very possibly be back within the next day doing the same grossly abusive BLP violations on the article. --Hammersoft (talk) 02:10, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Sorry to step in without discussion but the BLP argument looks convincing. Johnuniq (talk) 02:14, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
