Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. --BlameRuiner (talk) 17:28, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. GoodnightmushTalk 15:37, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Reverted 4 times in last 3 days. How many is enough?--BlameRuiner (talk) 15:56, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@BlameRuiner: Your reverts are all of a single user, with no explanation in your edit summaries, or engagement with that user on their talk page or the article talk page. Even if their edits are uncontroversially disruptive (which certainly isn't immediately apparent to me), protecting the page wouldn't be the appropriate response here since there is only one disruptive editor. WP:AIV would be the way to go for vandalism, WP:ANI for other kinds of disruptions, and WP:ANEW for edit warring. And if their edits are at all an attempt to be constructive, you should communicate with the user. GoodnightmushTalk 19:15, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Salt-protection: The page was deleted and then recreated again to the same content. Interstellarity (talk) 14:20, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined I don't see recreation recently, and based on the notices placed on the user's talk page / deleted contributions it seems unlikely that this page will be recreated on this topic. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 17:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Joe Biden

Temporary extended confirmed: BLP policy violations – I would do it, but I am WP:INVOLVED. Biden is the presumptive nominee to face off against Trump in the presidential election this year (November 3, for those who don't know the date). In recent weeks, the BLP violations, edit warring, and tendentious editing on Biden's page has increased dramatically. The recent edit history and talk page show much of it. A lot of it relates to a sexual assault allegation that has its own page. Trump's page is extended confirmed protected. I think the same level of protection is warranted for Biden's page, at least through the election. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:49, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Muboshgu, do you have any diffs of blp violations by non-extended confirmed editors in the past few weeks? – bradv🍁 16:11, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Bradv, I do. Here's an edit war from this morning between Volunteer Marek, SPECIFICO, and Kolya Butternut: [1][2][3][4][5] Here's one from yesterday with Geographyinitiative, who El C blocked and then unblocked for violating 1RR: [6][7][8][9] These edits by EdJF are tendentious edits as they suggest inappropriate touching by Biden on Stephanie Carter, the wife of Ash Carter, while failing to include the fact that the woman herself denies anything inappropriate happened.[10] There's more, but this is all within the last 12 hours or so. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:18, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Muboshgu, all these users are extended-confirmed, or am I missing something? El_C 16:22, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
El C, oh poop are they all? Well then, what else can we do? I'm not going to advocate full protection for six months. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:24, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Muboshgu, 1RR and Consensus Requried are both applied to that article, yet I see at least one editor who has made the same edit three times. I suspect we need to enforce the rules we have. – bradv🍁 16:37, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Muboshgu, what Bradv said. We are already at the most enhanced level of restrictions. If there's a need for enforcement (with respect to violations), please supply documentation to that effect. I note that there's always the less intrusive partial blocks which may be applied just for general edit warring, even when it falls short of actual violations. But it's best to start first with any concrete violations and goes from there. El_C 16:42, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have not made the same edit three times. I did not restore the opposed text in my edit. Please address the disruptive editors themselves; restrictions do not address the problem. Kolya Butternut (talk) 17:08, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Kolya Butternut, well, you're one of the disruptive editors. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:09, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@El C and Bradv:, yeah, I guess you're right. I'll try to be more vigilant in reporting violations (too INVOLVED to sanction). Was there not at least one violation in the diffs I supplied above? Anyway, only six more months of this election, and it's looking like it will be at least as bad as 2016 and Hillary's emails. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:09, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am not one of the disruptive editors; Muboshgu, you are too involved here. I am trying, perhaps poorly, to deal with the disruptive editors. Wait, are bold edits not allowed at all? I have to check Consensus Required right now. Kolya Butternut (talk) 17:11, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not done Does not appear that ECP will solve the current issue. Feel free to re-report if there is an actual issue caused by new-ish editors. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:15, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am having trouble finding the details on "Consensus Required" to determine whether I have violated that. Admins: please to not conflate disruptive editors with the editors who flail to protect the article from them; that feels like taking both the bully and the bullied to the principals office for fighting. I know you have a lot to do, but the root of the problem needs to be addressed by admins so that less skilled good faith editors like me don't get caught up in the mess.

Indefinite semi-protection or Rangeblock: Persistent block evasion from Luis22pdxedu (talk · contribs), straight after a 1-year semi protection recently expired. I also raised the issue at WP:ANI here: [11]. I hate to forum shop for admin intervention here on multiple noticeboards, but this user has been very active in evading their block. There have also been constructive IP editors at this page, including myself, so I would be saddened to see this semi-protected once again, but it may be the only viable option here if a rangeblock causes too much collateral damage. 172.58.44.157 (talk) 19:17, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite full protection: The emergency alert system is not a joke. The article should never be messed with without the permission of the Administrators because not only is the article very well made and pleasant to read, as well as giving lots of information and even the audio samples, but the article is about a important system in the U.S. so I would like this article to be protected from any cyber-hacking or Vandalism.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Can this article be protected again for a longer period? With edits like this, it's we may need to extend the protection. This is a show that ended nearly a decade ago, so protecting it from IPs isn't likely to cause any harm.

I suggest this page be locked so that only registered users can edit it. Saqib (talk) 09:00, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please, indicate just one line that is unsourced, not all the IPs are bad users, you blame, you misuse the project, to dominate your personal rules, your move falls under Wikipedia harassment. You deliberately violate the Wikipedia rule, reverting well-sourced 12,837‎ bytes of material from [15] uttermost sourced content with top most reliable sources without explaination and discusstion on talk page, you should be forbidden to edit this article, Western editors should edit that. How you dare to claim what you reverted was legitimate, the honest editors are not the blind, you get your burden upon yourself or prove which passage was unreferenced, it seems your personal motives with the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:1C00:1604:BB00:459B:2CED:129E:AAB0 (talk) 20:58, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Pepperfry

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I don't even know if this is allowed for on drafts, but I'm not sure how else to handle this. This is a subject that has been a problem child for sometime (see the protections in mainspace). This is version two of this paid for page (per disclosure of page creator). It has been declined multiple times. Twice now, an IP editor has attempted to remove previous decline messages. This feels like an attempt to remain an anonymous UPE. Doesn't seem quite appropriate or egregious to take to ANI. So I'm bringing it here and hoping that page protection will help keep things above board by making sure all edits are made by registered users. Any other recommendations are welcome since this is a unique problem child. . Sulfurboy (talk) 09:33, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Three previous protection attempts haven't succeeded and the warring editors, who are all extended confirmed, seem to be careful not to violate 3RR. That said, the edits they're undertaking are completely useless; an endless string of reverts and undos. While this situation seems to be one of those for which full protection is designed, I think indefinite full protection may be presumptive at this moment. If this resumes in three months, however, it may need to be revisited. Chetsford (talk) 03:26, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting redirect protection removal for Moomoo as it's the name of Moomoo, Inc and their online trading platform Moomoo.--Ron John (talk) 16:06, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: It has already been explained to this user on the IRC help channel that if their draft is accepted, the accepting reviewer will manage the process of sorting out redirects/disambiguations/etc.. Currently, I do not see that their draft demonstrates that Moomoo Inc. meets notability guidelines, so I do not see any reason to take action on this at this time.

Alupa dynasty

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This page is been persistently vandalized by 'Angeluser' despite many warnings.

The administrative language of the Alupa Dynasty was Kannada language. This has been confirmed from numerous inscriptions and references, almost all are in Kannada language and very few are in Sanskrit language.

Numerous Kannada language inscriptions and references are available from as early as 5th century. All coinages issued by the dynasty is in the Kannada language. There is only one Tulu language inscription from 12th to 13th century (the same inscription is also having Kannada). Further, this Tulu/Kannada inscription needs to be thoroughly verified and confirmed if it is indeed in the Tulu language.

Here the primacy in 'Common Language' section should be given to Kannada language and not the Tulu language. There is no proper evidence to prove that Tulu language existed then, let alone putting it in 'Common Language' section, and let alone putting it above Kannada Language.

This has been conveyed to the 'Angeluser' multiple times with warnings in his talk page. But he is very keen to edit the section without giving any proof.

Dear Administrator, I request you please put this page under protection. . Vinkri041 (talk) 18:59, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected indefinitely. This article used to have indefinite semi-protection. It was changed to PC protection a few years ago as an experiment. Since then the article has needed add-on semi-protection more than half the time, and it is too heavily edited for PC to work well in any case. So I have restored indefinite semi-protection. MelanieN (talk) 03:03, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I took a look at this, and while there is a little conventional vandalism, I suspect the editors could handle this. There are also some unsourced issues, and some edit warring aspects. A more detailed review is in order. Indefinite protection definitely not needed. Note several editors are on the verge of being autoconfirmed. Nosebagbear (talk) 19:51, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Woody: as protecting admin. — Wug·a·po·des​ 22:07, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers for the ping. The edit protected requests were denied for two reasons: 1, they didn't provide a specific set of edits required ie change "this line X" to "this line Y." I made one change after a specific request on the talk page. The second reason is because the changes do not have a consensus and are the cause of the edit warring that has caused the page to be temporarily protected in the first place. Instead of the edit protected requests please contribute to the discussion as to how to move the article forward and prevent the edit warring. Of course, if another administrator feels differently I am happy for them to act as they see fit. I will leave this for an uninvolved admin. Woody (talk) 22:24, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) I'm not sure if my opinion would matter much on this but I mainly edited this article back when it was semi-protected and it was appearing frequently in the semi-protection edit request queue. However the issue that lead to the edit warring and subsequent full protection of the article is currently under discussion at the respective WikiProject and hasn't achieved a consensus. The edit warring has spilled over to RuPaul's Drag Race (season 11) which lead to it being fully protected as well. Looking at the user groups of some of the editors involved in the edit warring prior to full protection being implemented even extended-confirmed protection would not work in this situation as some of those editors are extended confirmed. Today even I have proactively declined 3 edit requests because they were all about editing the contested content under discussion. From my perspective constructive edits that are being proposed in the correct format are being made to the article it is just taking a bit longer than normal. I strongly urge to keep the full protection in place until a consensus is reached on the contested content. Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 22:42, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bidhan Singh targets

Temporary semi-protection: Bidhan Singh is a well known LTA - see Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Bidhan Singh
After a long absence he returned in mid April and is now attacking these four articles, 2 about 01.06 each day and the other 2 about 16.06 - for full details see User:Arjayay/B S
AFAIK the IPs he is using (see User:Arjayay/B S} are too broad for rangeblocks - which would be preferable
I'm sure he will choose other targets if these are protected, so there is the question of should they not be protected, to make clearing up easier? - Arjayay (talk) 18:10, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a regular at RFPP, so I won't decline this (and when another admin makes a final disposition please ping me so I better understand RFPP practice). However, the explanatory supplement WP:DRAFTIFY states that Other editors (including the author of the page) have a right to object to moving the page, and to have the matter discussed at WP:AfD. If an editor raises an objection, move the page back to mainspace and list at AfD. I'm therefore reluctant to move-protect this page. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 05:39, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article was previously protected for three months and then six months, and both times, within hours of the protection expiring, the IP user was back to their disruptive behavior.

420chan

Reduction in protection level: From full protection to autoconfirmed.
Proof the requirement to contact protecting admin has been met: Kirtaner requested NawlinWiki unprotect 420chan in 2017. NawlinWiki was retired at the time. They have recently returned in a limited capacity and not edited for over two weeks. zzuzz recommended that Kirtaner write a draft and come here. They didn't, and that's where things stood for ≈3 years. When NawlinWiki returned, they did not reply to Kirtaner, leading me to believe they feel zzuzz's instruction is sufficient. Now that I have done (User:Psiĥedelisto/420chan) what Kirtaner was asked to do, I feel that it's not outside the rules for me to do the second thing he was asked to do. Even if it strictly is, WP:IAR should be the guiding principle in this edge case. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) 09:08, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There have only been two instances of vandalism in the preceding two weeks. While the vandalism does seem to be consistent over time, it's occurring at a slow enough cadence that the PC patrollers should be able to pick it up. I suspect this will need to be extended after expiration, but since it's only been protected twice and the last time was just for a week, three months is already pushing the envelope on what would be preemptive protection.

Steve Downie

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Steve Downie is a hockey player that has not played in a few seasons. While he did make the NHL, he was not a particularily impactful one, except for a few misconduct-related events.

Today, a player by the name of Akim Aliu published an opinion piece that called out racism in the hockey subculture. Specifically, Aliu commented on a string of racist incidents with Steve Downie, calling him a "racist sociopath". This garnered a lot of attention.

The article had, in the previous 30 days, 2642 pageviews, and the last major edit went back to Feb. 2019. Today alone, the article was edited 30 times, with many of those edits being vandalism, such as adding "racist" in the lede (e.g. to create "professional racist" instead of "professional ice-hockey player")

For the next week or so, I think it would be wise to limit the IP edits of the page, as they are unlikely to be constructive, and due to the page's limited traffic, vandalism could potentially stay up for a couple hours. . Acebulf (talk) 00:09, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This has been protected 7 or 8 times in the last four years and the cadence of vandalism shows no signs of abating. And it's not even the normal type of vandalism one sees with TV shows, such as original plot theories and so forth. It's much more basic and fanboyesque, such as posting exclamations of how great the program is [73]. Indefinite semi-protection is a major escalation but is probably the next step.

The slow cadence of the vandalism should be within the ability of the PC reviewers to check. Going into this I assumed the nature of the edits would be much more inflammatory, given the topic, but those I audited seemed to be minor nuisance edits (e.g. [74], [75]) and not exhortations of self-harm, BLP violations like outing of non-notable persons, or the injection of dangerous advice into the article. If the situation changes we can revisit the length and completeness of protection. Thank you for monitoring the article. Chetsford (talk) 04:39, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Short-Tempered Clavier and other dysfunctional works for keyboard

Temporary semi-protection. So this work is an album by PDQ Bach, and in the style of the parodic nature of that, the individual pieces' titles are numbered as part of the title, not merely as the track listing. A persistent IP keeps removing those parts of the titles despite having been reverted multiple times with proper explanation by multiple editors. At this point it's vandalism caused by incompetence or failure to listen. Either way, it's becoming disruptive. oknazevad (talk) 06:04, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite pending changes: BLP policy violations – Slow vandalism. Hillelfrei talk 13:31, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I'm hesitant to apply PC instead of Semi-Protection to a BLP because vandalism to a BLP is almost always of a higher order than vandalism to Jean jacket, for instance. However, looking at the nature of the vandalism, it seems that it's all (or at least the portion I audited) nonsense and nuisance vandalism and not the introduction of defamation. That said, based on the protection log, indefinite protection would be a major escalation. On the other hand, a few days or weeks is clearly insufficient to deal with the long-term activity that's occurring. I've split the difference at a year, which can be extended if necessary upon expiration. Chetsford (talk) 00:01, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. And then I'll go away for a while and leave the field open for you. From my essay User:MelanieN/Page protection, "Before I begin to patrol the RfPP requests, I always look at the RfPP page history to see if any other admin is actively patrolling. If they are, I go away and do something else. Two admins trying to patrol at the same time only get in each other’s way - one protects a page and the other unintentionally supersedes that protection with another, or one declines protection just as the other is imposing it." Truer words never spoken. I'll get out of your way now. I was about to log off anyhow. -- MelanieN (talk) 17:45, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rise of Joseph Stalin

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – (either this or pending changes) Continuous long term vandalism; parent article is Joseph Stalin, a naturally controversial and ripe for abuse subject. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 23:17, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. In the last 90 days there have only been four instances of IP vandalism and three of them were reverted in less than 60 seconds. Indefinitely protecting an article that had never previously been protected and is only undergoing minor nuisance vandalism an average of once every two weeks, all of which is being promptly reverted, seems like overkill. I'm not even sure PC is warranted at this point. Chetsford (talk) 23:49, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Agree with Ymblanter. Vandalism is consistent but at a manageable level. Some anonymous contributions appear to be productive.

Semi-protection: I started this page last summer along with a batch of other notable microbiologists. Since then, it has been subjected to a constant slow-drip of additions of non-notable awards to the page, first by a SPA, then by different IPs geolocating to Duke University (the subject's employer). My attempts to engage on talk, SPA's talk, and IP talk 1 and 2 have gone unanswered and don't seem to have helped. This is giving me a headache, and I fear their patience will outlast mine. I'm suggesting semi-protection to hopefully funnel the user(s) efforts into an account, which will make discourse a bit easier (I'm skeptical IP editors ever really notice their talk pages). If others have alternative ideas. I'm all ears. Thanks. Ajpolino (talk) 23:35, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Lectonar: Personally I would have granted this request because almost the entire history is vandalism or unhelpful edits from IPs and new accounts followed by reverts. Although the edit rate isn't huge, the vandalism is persistent. I won't substitute my judgement for yours but could you look again? If you still don't think protection is warranted I'll put it down to reasonable minds coming to different conclusions. Thanks, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:55, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
HJ Mitchell You're very gracious: I could be beaten down to use pending changes protection here, but I am very much a friend of Wikipedia as the "encyclopedia that every one can edit", so I won't semi protect in cases like these (and the page views aren't great, so the disruption has no great effect as for the encyclopedia as a whole). If all the history would be vandalism, then perhaps, but edits just being unhelpful shouldn't trigger semi-protection. In olden times I would have said: "just watchlist and revert". I have watchlisted, btw. But as I say on my user-page: I don't mind being overturned. Cheers. Lectonar (talk) 11:10, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 17:52, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
And, because it is controversial, why does Wikipedia allow a sort of narrow definition? I have monitored this page over years, and I'm sure, the main source of vandalism is the lede paragraph. It is constantly revised and I have no doubt that is the main reason why the page is locked. Therefore, why not have a broad definition such as "...generally born in the 1960's and 1970's", which is stating the truth? Ledboots19 (talk) 19:01, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The information cited is not discredited in any other source, and the user in question appears to justify the deletion of the info by citing their own opinions only. I only intend to add this information in good will, and yet have not ben allowed to touch the page. At least two other users have also opposed the deletion of the information, including by using Twinkle to check the page.

Note: I'm not 100% sure these can be Revdel'ed under criteria 2 or 3 as they are primarily "personal attacks or conduct accusations", which are exempted from Revdel. I Revdel'ed something recently in which a BLP was accused of pedophilia without RS which, in my opinion, met the higher standard of "smear" but I think these may fall into the realm of "ordinary incivility". However, I'd agree this is on the line; I'll ask the next admin who comes around to look at it and act as they feel appropriate. Chetsford (talk) 05:16, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. 2 IP's in 24 hours, not in bad faith, does not seem to be an issue. If the disruption ramps up, don't be afraid to re-report however. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 23:17, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLADbalaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 18:18, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Well of the recent recreations, the first was by you, so I don't think you're going to create it again. And the second recreation was the result of some administrative maneuvers, and thus it doesn't appear likely to be created again. But if someone does recreate it, then we can salt it.

This is not a page, it is a project header template that is used on many pages and I am requested extended confirmed access only so it does not get broken because it will break the hierarchy of the project. Galendalia Talk to me CVU Graduate 17:07, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The template itself is only used 7 times. As CaptainEek says above, pages (templates are also pages) are not protected preemptively and also the template itself is not high risk as it has a very small amount of transclusions. If disruption occurs, then the page can be protected. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 17:11, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that this page was indefinitely semi-protected since 2016, before being full protected by Ymblanter in mid-April of this year due to a content dispute. After the full protection expired, Ymblanter applied pending changes.

Temporary semi-protection: IP user continually engaging in edit warring. Insisting on using a new term "disbandment" instead of the consensus "cancellation". I previously posted for page protection a few days ago - the user was blocked for three days. Today, upon the end of the ban, IP again began making the same changes. Also page Yes, Dear RedPatchBoys (talk) 18:44, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. Since this appears to be a static IP and it's only one disruptive editor, I'd rather block than protect. Reblocked for a week, no objection to protecting the page if they come back with a different IP. creffett (talk) 19:55, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I found three instances of the same IP editor repeatedly removing an image of Tsai Ing-wen wearing a face mask which can be addressed in a different forum. Beyond that, I found some one-off reverted IP edits that aren't exactly what I would describe as vandalism. IP editors are editors, too, unfortunately.

Talk:Antifa (United States)

Temporary semi-protection: Due to a tweet by the President of the United States, the talk page is being spammed with demands to make a change to the page that has been rejected as lacking reliable sources. IP users seem either unwilling to read the prior discussions, unwilling to accept the consensus, or are being coordinated to spam the page with this demand. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 19:11, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 12 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I doubt it's being coordinated; anyone with the wherewithal to coordinate a campaign would probably be more savvy than just using a bunch of IP addresses to make semi-protected edit requests. A very short protection period has been added to give everyone a chance to catch-up and with the idea that this situation will probably evaporate on its own at the end of the current day's news cycle. If not, protection can be revisited. Chetsford (talk) 21:13, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
