Stripper

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The page has been subject to heavy vandalism recently, with 3 cases in 9 days (March 22 - 30) as well as in the past with the nearly half of all edits ever made to the page being vandalism or vandalism revision. For perspective, the historical volume of vandalism shows up in the 320 reverted edits in its 17 year history, which corresponds to an average of ~1.5 cases of vandalism per month. The page was also semi-protected in December 2016 for 3 months because of persistent vandalism. Statistics are from [1]. —The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 19:57, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected indefinitely. Indefinite PC is most appropriate for an article with such a steady but infrequent level of vandalism. MelanieN (talk) 21:18, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Red Dwarf: The Promised Land

Temporary semi-protection: Increasing levels of edit warring concerning reception, new editors wanting to add newly-released reviews that are either unsourced or from fan-run websites. Vandalism is also occurring, with properly sourced work also being deleted. MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken (talk) 17:30, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I notice that one of the problem editors is autoconfirmed so this will not stop them. MelanieN (talk) 19:55, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct and it hasn't because he just edited again. Do you have any suggestions? MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken (talk) 20:00, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Try to engage them at their userpage or the article talk page. If that fails, they could be reported at ANEW or ANI if their behavior warrants. -- MelanieN (talk) 20:03, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite pending changes: low risk for vandalism no history of it . Natadmim (talk) 15:03, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. Historically, this is just one of those articles that attract vandals, and there have been very few (last one a year ago) talk page requests by IPs/new accounts. Favonian (talk) 15:36, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Peer review

Indefinite semi-protection: Highly linked to page. It wouldn't be practical if an IP just came and messed up one of Wikipedia's main programmes to help articles grow. — Yours, Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ • Talk∕Contribs 11:16, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. This is well watched, so any messing-up (which hasn't occurred yet) would be quickly be noticed. Lectonar (talk) 12:52, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Álvaro Uribe

Semi-protection: There are a large number of WP:BLP violations on the page that I've been clearing, but these BLP violations are particularly bad and page protection is warranted to prevent these in the future. 201.232.217.53 (talk) 11:37, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Last IP edit which could be called disruptive was on March 19th. Lectonar (talk) 12:50, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Main Page

Talk:Main Page (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

Please add under the "General Discussions" header:

COVID-19 portal

Shouldn't the Portal:Coronavirus disease 2019 page link use a Portal icon in the Coronavirus box in the In The News section?

-- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 00:32, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question: what un/protection action are you seeking, exactly? El_C 00:36, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this is a request that someone add a "COVID-19 portal" section under Talk:Main Page#General discussion with the IP's text above because that talk page is currently semi-protected. The Main Page is currently showing "In the news" at top-right with a "Coronavirus pandemic" mini navbox. The last link in that is displayed as "Portal" with a link to Portal:Coronavirus disease 2019. The IP's suggestion might have made sense in a previous version of the navbox but it is now showing a horizontal list and won't be getting any icons added. I would decline this request unless I have misunderstood it. At any rate, the navbox comes via Template:In the news which uses Template:In the news/special-header and the IP could post there.

Temporary full protection: Please can you please full protect for a day or so - there is an edit war ongoing about the images used, and would rather force the users to discuss than it ending up at anew. Nobody's going to die because a page has the wrong images for a few days. ~~ Alex Noble/1-2/TRB 08:37, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:51, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry didn't realise a request was filed here, Ymblanter could I ask that this page is unprotected as we'd resolved it many hours ago (User_talk:Davey2010#Mercedes-Benz_Citaro_page_improvements), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 09:21, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This organisation has gotten caught up with the COVID-19 pandemic in India, and the page has turned into a target for drive-by vandalism. A month-long semi-protection would be appropriate. Kautilya3 (talk) 12:37, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is also a high-profile page right now with 100,000 page views a day. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:45, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Genuine support for extended confirmed protection, It's getting kinda insane, and semi might not be enough. Upsidedown Keyboard (talk) 02:31, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Genuine support for extended confirmed. It's far out of control. Way far out of control. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 02:35, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support — how about editors read Uncyclopedia's how to be funny and not just stupid then make a decision? It has a lot of helpful advice to be humorous without causing disruption. Aasim 02:49, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Awesome Aasim: I actually read that Uncyclopedia guideline. It's why they also hate the tripling elephants and reality becoming a commodity. OcelotCreeper (talk) 03:32, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Disruptive editing by the editors unregister. Best Wishes NikoUMS (talk) 04:26, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@NikoUMS: It is not clear what is wrong at the article. It is clear there is a disagreement but there is no explanation in edit summaries or the article talk page. Can you identify an edit that adds invalid information, and is there a reference to verify that the information is incorrect? Johnuniq (talk) 06:28, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that I cannot see any reliable sources that indicate that the IP edits are incorrect. In fact, an IP edit at 09:26, 26 March 2020 (diff) seems to be correct and to have remained in the current article. What IP edit are you saying is wrong (just the time and date will do)? How is it known to be wrong? Has the matter been discussed anywhere? Johnuniq (talk) 08:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Declined There has been no recent activity. If the problem resumes, post again with some information as above. Johnuniq (talk) 22:54, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. — It is against the protection policy to protect pre-emptively. Can’t see any justification in the history to protect. If vandalism or disruption occurs, feel free to request again. —Tom Morris (talk) 20:02, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Upto one month because his serial has been retelecasted. . Brihaspati (talk) 03:18, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Brihaspati: could you get into a bit more detail here? I went back about 40 versions, and I see some disruption and 2 or 3 instances of petty vandalism, but I see no clear BLP policy violations; most edits by IPs are good faith. Lectonar (talk) 08:26, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Lectonar: In this version, he was being referred as Indian actress and fan of greatest God Shah Rukh Khan. This type of additions were constantly updated in article. — Brihaspati (talk) 09:00, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. Yes, that was one of the instances of petty vandalism that I mentioned. Please be so kind and read our policy regarding BLP if you have not done so already...it isn't like he was accused of a crime or so. Lectonar (talk) 09:22, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject COVID-19/Current consensus

Indefinite extended confirmed: – The consensus at WP:AN seems to be that it is appropriate for Current Consensus lists to use EC protection. The other two lists in existence (at 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic and Donald Trump) both have that level of protection. Sdkb (talk) 18:54, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. MelanieN (talk) 22:00, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @MelanieN: I'm fine if you want to protect, but please be sure to log appropriately. You erroneously logged the protection as AE, which it's not, and you did not log the restriction at WP:GS/COVID19. Sorry if this seems nitpicky, but it's important to impose extraordinary measures (i.e. discretionary sanctions) by the book. ~Swarm~ {sting} 22:14, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for catching me on this, Swarm. I clicked on the AE button without thinking, but I guess a community-authorized discretionary sanction is different. I will follow up with the necessary paperwork. You might check up on me in a few minutes to see if I did it right - I have very little experience with formal DS sanctions. -- MelanieN (talk) 22:45, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: Persistent disruptive editing and edit warring by multiple sockpuppets. This page was semi-protected, then temporarily full protected after edit warring by a now indeffed sockpuppet as per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ineedtostopforgetting. Given that multiple sockpuppets / sockpuppeteers active on this page have recently been indeffed, and others will most likely follow suit, I suggest we retain full protection of the article for one month, then apply indefinite semi-protection. Users may request edits on the talk page.Iswearius (talk) 04:09, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Acroterion: You did the last full protection. Do you have an opinion on what should happen now, given that one editor is now indeffed as a sock? Maybe decline this and wait for another report, possibly semi-protection, if warranted? Johnuniq (talk) 05:51, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite Extended-protection: Extended protection expired. Require indefinite protection due to persistent vandalism. Amkgp (talk) 13:17, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note:  I'll leave this to another administrator, but my impression is that the current indefinite semi-protection is doing the job. Yes, the page is very heavily edited by a great many people. But in the last couple of pages of the history there are very few reverts or objecting to somebody else's edit, and more to the point, even the occasional edit that gets removed is from an extended-confirmed user, so the added protection does not appear to be needed. -- MelanieN (talk) 00:12, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) Normally I would agree that semi-protection would be fine however due to the high edit rate by experienced editors and the various consensus that have been reached to adhere to Wikipedia policies and guidelines I would strongly recommend extended confirmed protection while the pandemic is ongoing at this point. I have been helping out with COVID-19 edit requests for EC & semi protected articles in my spare time and this template is one that defiantly needs EC protection until the pandemic slows down. This edit for instance fixed an issue where someone removed the Diamond Princess from the list. The ship was missing for most of the day before someone caught it and we can't risk someone getting autoconfirmed access after 4 days with any random 10 edits editing this template when it is on the highly viewed 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic article that is linked on the main page.

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing and agrument from other user. Best Wishes NikoUMS (talk) 03:02, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: (Non-administrator comment) I would recommend pending changes protection because it is a BLP and the edit activity is low. @NikoUMS: Not every instance is vandalism and requires protection. This edit and revert seems more like a simple content dispute. In your revert you linked to a non-English Wikipedia article as the reason. It is actually recommended you use reliable sources and not Wikipedia articles when doing this and to make sure the reliable source your using in the edit summary is also in the article to back up the content. For example from a quick search I found this article from 2004 that would have backed up that Ongkili was sworn in as the Minister of National Unity on 30 March 2004 that you could have used.

Bianca Andreescu

Temporary semi-protection: This page has been protected three time against presumably one editor who keeps trying to change the first sentence to violate WP:ETHNICITY. The most recent one was on 28 November for three months (see here), which expired on 28 February. It was previously protected on 14 November for two weeks (see here). Before that, it was protected on November 6 for one week (see here). The first two times, the disruptive editor returned within 24 hours of the end of the protection period to revert the page. Most recently, it took a month for that editor to restore the bad version. However, they already quickly put that version back even after it was reverted. Since one week and two weeks did nothing and three months has not had a lasting effect, can we try one year? Sportsfan77777 (talk) 23:21, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated addition of plot bloat by an anon. Blake Gripling (talk) 04:48, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not familiar enough with RFPP to decide this (reviewing admin: please ping me when you close this, as I'm trying to learn the norms and standards here), but I'll say one thing, Blakegripling ph: this isn't vandalism. It's disruptive, but I don't know if it rises to the level of disruption where protection is warranted. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 06:03, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Declined @Blakegripling ph: Sorry but the edits are not vandalism and while they are very likely from the same person, the two different IPs edited on 19 February 2020 and 1 April 2020 so any semi-protection would have to be for a long time to be effective. Please put a brief explanation on the article talk page, with a link to MOS:PLOT. Next time the IP adds that text, revert with a link to the talk page in the edit summary and post a friendly note on the IP's talk asking that they discuss at [link to article talk]. Then post again here if repeated.
@Kevin: This is difficult case IMHO. Some admins might dismiss it as "Not enough recent disruptive activity" but generally I'm more inclined to protect on the principle that disruption is toxic for established editors, wastes time, and drives good editors away. However, when the problem edits are infrequent I try to guide people to best practise. I would be inclined to protect if an IP were to continue after ignoring reasonable invitations to discuss.

Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing and edit warring by multiple sockpuppets. This page was semi-protected, then temporarily full protected after edit warring by a now indeffed sockpuppet as per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ineedtostopforgetting. Given that multiple sockpuppets / sockpuppeteers active on this page have recently been indeffed, and others will most likely follow suit, I suggest we retain extended confirmed protection of the article for one month, then apply indefinite semi-protection. Users may request edits on the talk page.

Before semi-protection was re-applied pending response to the first request (cf. rolling archive), a new sock associated with the same user was active on the page and indeffed. For this reason, I strongly recommend the above request.Iswearius (talk) 03:15, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2019–20 coronavirus pandemic by country and territory

Indefinite pending changes: Google is using this article as the source for it's coronavirus cases as well as the map of cases. I feel that semi-protection isn't sufficient enough when this article will be receiving substantial more traffic through linking, and indirect traffic through google scraping it for data.

If PC is too harsh, then would ECP suffice. Thepenguin9 (talk) 14:52, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Semi-protection is exactly the right level for this article. The article is much too heavily edited for PC to work effectively, and extended confirmed protection does not appear to be needed at this time. If there starts to be disruptive editing by autoconfirmed users, ask again. MelanieN (talk) 16:18, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Coronavirus disease 2019/Current consensus

Indefinite extended confirmed: Arbitration enforcement – The consensus at WP:AN seems to be that it is appropriate for Current Consensus lists to use EC protection.

  • @Sdkb: Point of order but can you please stop referring to the "consensus at AN"? There's no consensus to preemptively protect any and all "consensus lists". It's literally just the opinion of one single user. In this case I have no objection to doing so on the basis of WP:GS/COVID19, but it is pretty blatantly false to state that there is a "consensus" to EC protect any similar pages in general, as there is not. In fact we would not even be allowed to do so without it being a DS enforcement measure. Just wanted to clear that up. ~Swarm~ {sting} 20:20, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Swarm: Sure, I'll stop doing that. My characterization was as much based on WP:SILENCE as it was the conversation itself, but I take your point that there's been no formal decision made on the matter. Current consensus lists are still pretty new but they seem to be starting to be adopted more widely, so as that happens hopefully templates will be created and more discussion will take place about how precisely to handle them.

@Pppery and Primefac: This was semi-protected by Primefac in January 2018. I can't find anything at WP:PROTECT saying that a template transcluded in an interface page should be full protected, although that seems a great idea. At the Template:Doi prefix request just above (permalink), I template protected despite there only being 65 transclusions on the basis that the doc says it is used in a MediaWiki page. Is there clear guidance somewhere? Should both templates be full protected? Johnuniq (talk) 07:26, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I personally don't see the need to increase the protection level; it's not a highly-viewed page, it's not a highly-transcluded template, and the template hasn't even been edited since 2018. Primefac (talk) 15:13, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined it's on pendign changes so edits require review before they go "live". Given how recently that was done, I would suggest you need to speak to Lectonar if you feel it's inadequate. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 09:35, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: The issue with that article is not vandalism; the issue is disruption and unsourced changes. That article keeps on getting bursts of disruptions every now and then because things like this keep on happening. It is sometimes difficult to keep that article clean without committing a WP:3RR violation. It will be difficult for someone who is not familiar with that article to keep it clean. For example, this edit slipped past PC review, only to be reverted by me later.
And as we speak, another disruption has happened. @Lectonar: Can you please take a look at this.— Vaibhavafro 💬 11:34, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks MelanieN for the ping, Based on the comments here and protection policy, I believe the current level of protection could be extended.

Remove protection: No longer needed similar to 911 given that the year is no longer at 420. The DAB has been getting a bit of vandalism but not a huge amount but if necessary that can be protected but since the year if now disambiguated its no longer a likely target, if it does become one again protection can be reinstated. I asked the protecting admin at User talk:Samsara#AD 420 in December but they are largely inactive and haven't responded. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:20, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Page 420 was originally pending changes protection by admin @Samsara: however as part of the move the protection was moved accordingly to AD 420. Pinging original protecting as per protocol. (Non-administrator comment) This is a lightly edited page and in accordance with the protection policy it is a perfect candidate for PC protection. Last edit to AD 420 was made on Dec. 10, 2019 and the majority of non-autoconfirmed and IP edits to this page from September 13, 2017 - December 10, 2019 have not been approved and the page is not placing an undue hardship on pending changes reviewers. Pending changes protection does not stop IP and non-confirmed editors from editing this page but based on the edit history it seems their edits would merit review when they do edit.

Semi-protection: There is a constant level of IP vandalism or poorly executed deletion requests. It's quite complicated to revert all of them while keeping the reasonable changes and I don't monitor the page the whole time. It's really a waste of time. The IPs are most probably all from Italy or related to Italian people currently living abroad; for some reason the fact that Aranzulla is well-known for its activity is a source of irritation or ridicule since years in Italy.

MelanieN it's going on since months! It's the third time this year I come to add a source, had to clean up and I give up since I have other things to do after wasting my time.

I hope they can do something... at least put it in the watchlist and help to revert these edits faster than now. I cannot notice in real time, I work on too many platforms.

Hi, Alexmar, thanks for your note. You deleted an edit on April 7, two days ago. The previous disruptive edit was in early March, a month earlier, reverted by someone else. You also deleted a disruptive edit in January. The previous year's pattern was similar. One disruptive edit a month is not enough to warrant protection. I am glad you are keeping an eye on this article, and thank you, but this level of problem edits does not rise to the level of needing protection. -- MelanieN (talk) 02:35, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of languages by number of native speakers in India

Indefinite semi-protection This list article is more or less a front-end for the census results. Given that speaker numbers can have emotional significance, with some speakers interested in changing the figures to make their language look bigger, this article is a regular target for IPs fiddling and tampering with the speaker numbers. I recall seeing an IP last year, who clarified the wording of the text in one place, but this one helpful edit stands against hundreds and hundreds of anonymous edits doing nothing but manipulations of the sourced numbers. – Uanfala (talk) 13:28, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see that a variety of established editors have reverted the IP and there is too much nonsense going on with everyone at home so I protected. In a case like this, the problematic IPs should be blocked (after discussion/warning) but (for edits to the article in 2020) that would require blocking 2600:1015:b000::/41 which is probably too large.

Not unprotected The page was extended changes protected due to Persistent violations of the biographies of living persons policy from (auto)confirmed accounts after three days of semi-protection.

Reduction in protection level: semi-protected There hasn't been an edit on this page since March. Furthermore, not even Tom Brady or Lebron James have extended protected and very little vandalism, if any, occurs. We want Wikipedia as open to the public for editing as possible and this just simply isn't justified and totally unnecessary. Therefore, this definitely should be reduced to semi-protection. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Editor940 (talk • contribs) 23:27, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Plus move protection. I don't know what's happening with this page (I haven't read the talk page), but historically this page is highly visible and vandalized because it is linked to the main page. © Tbhotch™ (en-3). 02:47, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Restoring previous protection level. Not sure how or when it was removed. Ad Orientem (talk) 02:55, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Tbhotch and Ad Orientem: The page is in the process of being turned into a redirect. We're having a bunch of technical difficulty with it, though, and could use some help. Please see the talk page "implementation" section. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 03:51, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Sdkb: I am definitely the wrong person to ask for technical hp. My command of tech peaked with the advent of the electric typewriter (it was a wondrous thing). However, as soon as consensus has been reached regarding redirecting the page contact an administrator to handle any changes in protection that may be required. Unfortunately the page was attacked as soon as the recent protection was lowered and this is still a highly visible page. I am off to bed as it is late here, but feel free to drop me a line if you need help of a non technical nature, and the need is not time sensitive.

Bambi

  • Bambi (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  • Ok first i want to say that I read everything about Bambifan101 first before I made this request. I know that boatloads of Disney articles had to be indef semiprotected because he used hundreds of users and IPs. However, the last confirmed sockpuppet was in July 2017 so I think all of the Disney articles indef semi'd because of him should be changed to pending trials to see if they can finally get some good edits by new or unregistered users after a dozen or so years and if he is finally gone. I'm saying pending trials because IP's normally don't get indef blocked, and also because Disaster Movie went to pending trials and just got unprotected yesterday because there were only 2 cases of attempting to vandalize the article in the past year (and yes, Disaster Movie went to pending trials because it looked like the Bambifan issue was gone). OcelotCreeper (talk) 15:46, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Additional Comment The Little Mermaid (1989 film) was originally indef semi'd before because of Bambifan and was unprotected 10 years later, and ever since then, it only had to be reprotected for a week last October, but not for the same reason as Bambifan. OcelotCreeper (talk) 16:00, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Courtesy ping Black Kite, the protecting admin. Personally, I don't think unprotecting is a good idea. The last confirmed sock account was blocked in September 2018, but only last month I blocked 2600:1007:b01b:b5c4::/64 due to loud quacking. Favonian (talk) 18:30, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not suggesting complete unprotection is the best idea though and I don't suggest unprotecting all of the Disney articles at once either. I think it would be best to slowly set up a pending trial for each article (as in 1-2 week increments) and only stop if the socks seem to come back.

@CLCStudent: I've run into this problem before. A reasonable request for semi-protection is denied, the explanation being that the contributions of IP users have been productive, when all you are trying to do is cut down the time spent evaluating dubious edits to determine if they should be reverted. As another perspective, there are numerous edits from registered users, done in good faith, that are of dubious value. Anybody who wanted to do an edit (for better or worse) could just register. IMO, there's almost no reasonable basis for denying a request for temporary semi-protection. Fabrickator (talk) 21:36, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Did you mean to ping Goodnightmush? CLCStudent (talk) 21:38, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Fabrickator, if IPs are editing constructively, that's a reasonable basis for denying a temporary semiprotection. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:06, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Muboshgu, I am presuming that this is a subjective matter. If you are saying that there are edits from 10 IPs, 9 of them have made counter-productive edits, and 1 IP was used to make an arguably productive edit, and that per policy, the temporary protection request must be denied, then I'm saying that's bad policy. If this is discretionary, then I would disagree with such a decision.
The basic error of this approach is to treat the time and effort of those editors making worthwhile improvements as having little or no value, while treating the right of IP editors to edit under such circumstances as extremely precious. That is simply not sensible. Fabrickator (talk) 23:30, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2020 coronavirus pandemic super-spreaders

Temporary create protection: Not sure if this is an appropriate request or not, as this is a unique situation. The draft article Draft:2020 coronavirus pandemic super-spreaders was moved out of draftspace by the page creator (not approved by an AfC reviewer) even though it was suggested that approval from the COVID-19 project be sought first. This wasn't done. Another editor moved it back to draft space. I again gave a decline message stating the above sentiment. At the same time I reached out to the COVID-19 project for input on the article.

Per the comments found here, it's quite apparent that this article has quite a few glaring inaccuracies. Usually that isn't a big deal and not even a reason for a decline, we'd just tag it and let it be sorted in mainspace. However, considering the very sensitive nature of the subject it seems prudent hold back the draft as long as needed considering the millions of people turning to Wikipedia for information about COVID.

Thus, I'm request a temporary page protection to ensure this isn't moved back to mainspace (especially by a non-AfC reviewer) without the all clear from the COVID project for factual accuracy. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:53, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Any opinions? The draft was moved to article space on April 4 and 17. In each case it was moved back a short time later. Per WP:GS/COVID19 I would be inclined to create-protect the article (and log it at the linked page). I suppose it would be an indefinite protection to be removed if consensus the draft is ready emerges? Johnuniq (talk) 02:18, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any other articles of anyone with this last name so a page protection would likely not impact the page too much while also preventing this continued attempt at self-promotion. GPL93 (talk) 18:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. The page is under semi-protection already. The behavior of the one autoconfirmed user is currently under discussion at WP:ANI where I think they will figure out how to deal with him. So I don't believe extended confirmed protection is necessary at this time. Note that the article title has been changed from Korovesis (surname) to Korovesis and I have corrected the listing here to reflect that change. MelanieN (talk) 22:22, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nova Scotia killings

Semi-protection, temporary - This article is about a recent mass shooting/killing in Nova Scotia, Canada. I am not sure whether protection is necessary at this stage. There have been a couple edits by an IP user which appears to be disruptive. As this event is quite recent, much remains unknown and some reporting is not reliable as is often the case in these breaking events. I would appreciate if an admin would have a look at this and consider whether some level of protection is appropriate on a temporary basis. Thanks--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 23:16, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Electronic harassment

Semi-protection: The whole edit history is IPs (or brand new users) adding misinformation and then users reverting it. Semi-protection would end this and also make the edit history useful again. One month ago a request was rejected with the argument that it was a short-term issue, but it's still there. Not at a massive rate, but vandalism and reverts are all that happens there. --mfb (talk) 06:53, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am inclined to reject this as well. Indeed, there was a spike a few days ago (which by now seems to be gone), however, on the same day an IP edit was accepted by a pending changes reviewer. It is not that all edits get blanket reverted, though the majority indeed do.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:23, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's not edit warring we are worried about, it's vandalism. One of the modules linked can affect over 1200 pages when changed. That puts strain on the server when vandalized.

The Safra family

Indefinite protection: Consistent IP Vandalism that takes out the Safra family members Lebanese ancestry, the place of birth of the Safra brothers and their Lebanese nationality and changes it to Syrian and Aleppo without providing new sources. The primary documentation, meaning documents of Immigration and Naturalization from the Brazilian government scanned in familysearch, clearly states that Jacob Safra, eventhough born in Aleppo, was nationalized Lebanese and had Lebanese citizenship, and his three sons Joseph, Edmond and Moise were all born in Beirut and had Lebanese citizenship according to the Brazilian government documents as well. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jacob_Safra#Safra_The_Lebanese_origins_of_the_Safra_family for evidence and sources.

I also recommend making a note in the sections of their articles that says "Do not change to Syrian nationality" and "Do not changed place of birth to Aleppo for Joseph, Edmond and Moise Safra" and say "See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jacob_Safra#Safra_The_Lebanese_origins_of_the_Safra_family for the evidence and sources on their place of birth and nationality" so that registered members read the evidence and sources in the talk page before making any changes.Chris O' Hare (talk) 08:52, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The page of Jacob and Moise were vandalized a few hours ago by the same IP address. The page of Jacob Safra was vandalized just now by a different IP address. Both vandalism were done on the subject of their nationality and place of birth as usual. If I have requested these pages to be protected is because they have a long history of vandalism. Its not a recent thing. If im going to work hard to provide sources and solve doubts about a subject please respect the work I do and work on protecting the mentioned pages.ThanksChris O' Hare (talk) 16:58, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I concur with HJ Mitchell; these pages do not qualify for protection. Here's the history: Jacob: one disruptive IP edit today 4/23, nothing before that for months. Joseph: one disruptive IP edit 4/23, one 3/2, nothing before that for months. Edmond: no IP edits at all for almost a year. Moise: one disruptive IP edit 4/23, nothing before that for months. That kind of history is about as stable an article as you will ever see. Protection is intended for current or ongoing vandalism, not for one bad edit every few months. If they do it two or three more times today, come back and ask again. MelanieN (talk) 20:05, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Graham87 02:35, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not unprotected As Graham says, there's no day-to-day reason for these pages to be moved and moving pages with large numbers of revisions can cause issues. If they need moving as a one-off it's not an emergency so it can wait for an admin (bear in mind that admins can move the page and up to 100 subpages in one action). You can ask on my talk page if you need something moving, or if you want me to look at the protection on a specific page. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:51, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@HJ Mitchell: For the record, the cleanup for these pages is not nearly as simple as you seem to be making it out to be. In addition to having to move all these pages, most likely, the leftover redirects will have to be suppressed or deleted since after the moves, they will no longer correlate with their current parent page. What this means is that all of the translusions and links to these pages at their current/old names need to be bypassed before the pages can be moved. So, instead of having to rely on administrators to move all these pages, I was trying to do the legwork to get their move protection removed so that when the people working on cleaning all this up have resolved these issues, we would be free to move them without having to wait a significant period of time via an administrator request. I understand that we're all volunteers here, but sometimes, there's a very narrow window of time when something like this can be fixed after all of the gears have been put into place to go to the next step in an effort to not break the site. (And for the record, I also have the ability to move 100 subpages at once because I have the page mover user right ... But again, however, because of the very detailed process which these pages need to be updated/change, moving all of the subpages at once would cause more problems than solutions.) Anyways, that's what I wanted to say before the section was archived, and I have said it, so I'm done for now. Steel1943 (talk) 23:38, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that the disruptive activity wasn't recent enough: the most recent disruptive edit was yesterday, when I made the request [21].

User:YorkshireLad: Yes, I took into account the problem edit today, the 24th. And the previous problem edit, 2 weeks earlier on the 10th. The lack of RECENT disruption was what caused me to decline. Protection is intended to block current problems, not problems that occurred two weeks ago. However, looking at the article’s protection log I see that it was given 2 weeks semi-protection in early March. A history of previous protection always tips me more toward thinking that protection may be needed again. Noting that the recent problems have been pretty spread out, and that there is constructive editing by IPs as well as problems, I will apply pending changes. Thanks for the nudge. -- MelanieN (talk) 01:59, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If the situation degenerates further, however, please feel free to either make a fresh request here or ping me. Chetsford (talk) 01:10, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Cyntoia Brown (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)Full Protection: Per CaptainEek page is in need of POV editing. I attempted to remove primary sources that gave the page a biased feel as CaptainEek suggested, but my edits were reverted by Gingerbreadhouse97 . I explained to Gingerbreadhouse97 that the information deleted was using a Primary Source and the article had lost neutrality, at which point he began to engage in Edit Warring. This article is in major need of Neutrality Editing and I am asking that a neutral administrator be appointed and the page be protected until that has been accomplished.

It should also be noted that this particular page is linked to an upcoming Netflix release and stands to gain an increase in visits and possible vandalism over the next few weeks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Candi Jones (talk • contribs)

Howdy hello, CaptainEek here. (moving this to the botom of the page as it was at the top). Just wanna note that I have not sanctioned this, and my words have been misinterpreted here. Now, the page could possibly use full protection, as Candi Jones and another editor are edit warring over its contents.
@Candi Jones: Couple of points here: new entries go at the bottom of the page. Also the page needs to have neutral editing, but so do all pages. No neutral administrator is going to be "appointed", thats not how we do things here. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 02:29, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stitch!

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An IP user who has used multiple IP addresses in the past keeps adding Dragon Tales characters to this article about a Disney anime series that has nothing to do with that non-Disney owned show. This has been going on for over two years (since December 2017) and they've been still at it again over the past couple months (currently under IPv6 addresses beginning with 2600:6c64:7800:af5). The fact they remain that dedicated to this day on making sure they add those completely unrelated characters to the article, despite multiple blocks against them over several IPs and after the article has been protected before, should suggest that they have absolutely no intention of stopping anytime soon. This article needs an indefinite semi-protection to dissuade them from obsessively adding their fantasies to this page. –WPA (talk) 02:43, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, today there was a disruptive edit today by a new user, reverted by ClueBot. There were also constructive edits by three other IPs. Yesterday there were no vandalism edits, and constructive edits by four different IPs . That’s why we said that banning IPs/new users is not needed, and would do more harm than good.

Question: Is this definitely a hoax, Oliszydlowski? (Asking based on this: [23]) GoodnightmushTalk 14:44, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Goodnightmush: - Commemorative notes are not mentioned in the infobox in other currency-related articles. The commemorative notes are only printed for a certain amount of time and are treated as collectibles and not necessary legal tenders. I can assure you the 19zl note is not in regular use. Moreover, the IP did not state his reasoning; his analysis was based on finding an images on Google without understanding its meaning. Oliszydlowski (talk) 14:49, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Oliszydlowski: Got it. Thanks. Perhaps communicate this to the IP address in your edit summaries and with a note on their talk page? I could be missing relevant history, but I don't see any reason not to WP:AGF in this instance. The other contributions from this IP appear to be constructive. I also only see this IP being used, which would mean that a block, not page protection, would be the correct course of action if the IP refuses to engage. You'd want WP:ANI in that case.

Template:COVID-19

Semi-protection: this is a template redirect to Template:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic which

  1. is (still) used in a number of place (up to a short while ago it was used in e.g. 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Iceland, though I've now changed that);
  2. is not currently subject to any protection; and
  3. has recently been vandalized, likely as a result of the previous two items.

Given that Template:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic is semi-protected, I feel this template should also be. Thanks. 178.11.75.101 (talk) 16:58, 28 April 2020 (UTC) (Yes, I'm quite aware of the irony of an unregistered user requesting semi-protection.)[reply]

Kim Jong un

Page was protected because there have been rumors that the the subject of the biography has died, and some editors put the rumors into the biography. I contend that such issues can be dealt with hidden comments and Edit notices. I tried to make a request for unprotection on the talk page, but did not get very far. I think that now that US intelligence is saying that it does not think that Kim Jong-un is dead, the risk of insertion of this rumor is even lower, and the need for full protection is not warranted.

Tomorrow's TFA

Requesting a preemptive semi-protection of tomorrow's TFA because for nine consecutive days a vandal has added the same defamatory material to Today's featured article. He always strikes at the turn of midnight (UTC) and edit wars to keep the material in. See 222324252627.

I'm willing to act on this per WP:IAR. The vandal seems to strike in the first hour, so to minimize collateral damage, I'll be back a bit before 00:00UTC and then protect the page for ~60 minutes to see if that's sufficient to resolve the problem. — Wug·a·po·des​ 22:03, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries

Semi-protection matching that of the main page: Persistent disruptive editing. This page contains the infobox for the main primaries page. The main page has been semi-protected for quite some time due to content disputes and changes made against or without consensus. Lately, that has extended to the infobox. Candidate photos are being changed and candidates are being removed repeatedly despite warnings in the markup against doing either of those things. A frequent cause seems to be the perception of undue weight being given to certain candidates. I believe this template page should be afforded the same protection as the main page, for the same reasons. Tartan357 (talk) 00:12, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
