Sharada Peeth

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent use of political POV language to refer to Kashmir (i.e. "Pakistani-occupied"). The problem is endemic and endless. This page has now seen two year-long rounds of temporary semi-protection for this reason. The last round of protections expired on 31 July and the newest unconstructive edit appeared the very minute the protection template lifted. Another editor reinforced this un constructive edit within 10 minutes. These editors do not contribute anything positive to the page's content, and during the last two years of semi-protection, the only edit requests received were to use the term "Pakistani-occupied" in relation to Kashmir. The page is now a GA, and it might not always be possible for editors to respond quickly and effectively. I'm requesting indefinite semi-protection to keep it in good condition. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 16:00, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The New Adventures of Old Christine (season 5)

Semi-protection. Long-running vandalism by an anonymous IP on a variety of pages insisting on using unconventional terminology instead of the consensus terminology and as well as introducing personal views that contradict sourced facts. For a complete description see Talk:The New Adventures of Old Christine#"Disbandment" vs "Cancellation". Began mid May and continued until June 30. After a month hiatus, he has returned. Various pages have previously been protected (typically a week to a month), user would then move on to other pages about the show and make the same edits there. IP has never participated in the discussion on the Talk pages, despite some requests in the edit history to do so. Other pages currently affected are:

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Half of last 50-100 edits were to add unsourced content about someone swimming through shark infested waters, which happened through different IP addresses. The other half were to revert those additions. Given that this persisted over a long period of time, I suggest either indef or long-term pc. – robertsky (talk) 09:48, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: – Somewhat adversarial content dispute over "results" parameter in infobox. Some editors are discussing this subject on talk page and bringing sources. Other ip editors are discussing this only in edit summary but also bringing sources. I don't have a firm opinion one way or the other but just now reverted ip changes made while talk page discussion is ongoing.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A quick glance of the article history shows that the article has been vandalized over & over again by various IP addresses trying to push their own POV.

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:GS/COVID19. Up existing protections until a vaccine arrives. Train of Knowledge (Talk) 21:05, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Train of Knowledge, I frequently use WP:GS/COVID19, but I personally would say "not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection" in this case. Am I overlooking something? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:48, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'll ping El C, currently the semi-protecting administrator of the page, for a third opinion. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:50, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ToBeFree, I concur with your assessment. The indefinite semiprotection appears to be working as intended. El_C 21:52, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Continuous vandalism/disruptive editing and POVPUSH by IPs and new accounts, started as soon as the previous ECP expired. Asking for a long term semi this time as this is not likely to subside anytime soon given the history of the article. Gotitbro (talk) 03:15, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:57, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Cwmhiraeth: The vandalism/disruption goes beyond that particular user, there are multiple new accounts/IP in the article history who have vandalized the page. This falls into same India-Nepal contentious articles that have been recently protected including Kalapani territory, Om Parvat, Geography of Nepal etc. Please reconsider your decision here. Gotitbro (talk) 14:58, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Gotitbro: The last protection ended on 16 June. From 26 June to 24 July there were no edits at all, and the limited disruption since then has been the work of one editor. Another admin may see the situation differently. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:36, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with Cwnhiraeth. The user in question has been given a "final warning". I see there has been no attempt to discuss the matter at the talk page. Gotitbro, you should start a discussion at the talk page, explaining what you see as wrong with their edits or why you prefer a particular version, and encourage them to come and reply. If they do not discuss, and continue their edit warring, you should alert an administrator. -- MelanieN (talk) 19:18, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Repeated addition of unsourced BLP. Darren-M talk 22:34, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Any views on this? The most recent IP was trying to remove a mention of bankruptcy with a primary source as the ref. Adding that back (with only a primary source) is dubious. A new user was trying to add negative mention of someone else. Has this been at WP:BLPN (or WP:RSN for the ref)? Johnuniq (talk) 10:18, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Declined for now. The most recent disruption was by a user who kept trying to add what he said was McDonald's address; that has had to be removed and suppressed many times, and I have threatened the user with a block if they do it again. Prior to that there was some back-and-forth about bankruptcy with no discussion at the talk page; and if that resumes it might be wise to full-protect the article for a day or two to force them to discuss. MelanieN (talk) 18:44, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See also, removal of protection for related categories: Special:Diff/943029722, Special:Diff/943029741, Special:Diff/943029653. —⁠andrybak (talk) 12:15, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Category:User talk pages with Uw-advert1 notices is not protected (protection was lifted in February). Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:27, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Many have been protected (sysop only) with the rationale of "high risk category", which does seem overstated to me. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:31, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Malcolmxl5, you are right. I haven't checked the logs properly and assumed that every category hasn't had a reason specified, like the parent category. Indeed, all subcategories were protected as "high risk". —⁠andrybak (talk) 10:33, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'd say that at least downgrading to semi, if not unprotecting completely, is completely reasonable here. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:29, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Addition of unsourced content, or content that contradicts sourced content. Using IMDB and other freely editable databases as sources. Saint Invective (talk) 04:56, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined This needs to go to the talk page. There's questions of the event's existence, but the 3 May 2020 revision notes a new source that doesn't seem to have been evaluated. I don't feel competent to make a judgement call on the content and sourcing, so I don't think I can protect based on the sourcing alone. I think this just needs to go through the WP:BRD cycle, not something page protection will fix. — Wug·a·po·des​ 21:34, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – Lot's of vandalism from unregistered users regarding "Manny.". Why? I Ask (talk) 04:55, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. I'm of two minds. Nearly all pending changes have been rejected over the last few weeks, so while there's a case for semi-protection I think pending changes is the right level for now. The edit rate isn't too high and the vandalism isn't being shown to readers, so we can afford to give PC protection some time before upping protection again. No prejudice to someone else protecting the page. — Wug·a·po·des​ 21:21, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Deepfriedokra: I see you're around and were the last protecting admin here; any opinions? — Wug·a·po·des​ 21:22, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: As all of the pending changes I saw were rejected, the risk of collateral damage is low. Extended confirmed is not needed for unregistered users. I'll look again and probably SP for a while. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:22, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Last time I semi'd for three months at the time I added the pending changes. The day after the SP expired, the vandalism resumed. It's low grade, but persistent and obnoxious. So I SP'd again for another three months. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:27, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:27, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Had to revdel some of those. Definitely a need for SP. The PC reveiwers should not be subjected to some of that. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:39, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have rarely seen a case where PCP is effective. It tends to waste the community's time with cleanup. If pending changes are consistently rejected, and those changes cause admins to revdel, that's a strong argument for indef-semi protection. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:57, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: @Anachronist: I hate to SP indef, but that's probably where we are headed. I had high hopes for the first 3 months. What I saw this time surprised me. Hoping a little more operant conditioning will work. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 00:08, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Serols: Obviously I have looked at the history, and I just checked the four most recent IP edits again. One you reverted (mentioned above). I'm assuming you would have reverted the others if you thought there was something wrong with them. Someone else seems to have reverted the IPs over an hour after your revert. Please bear in mind that I have no idea what's going on and there is no explanation on talk or here to show why protection is needed.

Axcient

Indefinite create protection: The page was deleted once, per WP:G11; since then, there's been some move warring between Draft:Axcient and Axcient. Well, Draft:Axcient is up for deletion now. I think it might be wise to create-protect Axcient as a precaution against future undisclosed paid editing. It'd be good to have extended-confirmed create protection at a minimum, though full create protection would provide even better protection against UPE. Thank you for reading this! —Unforgettableid (talk) 07:56, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Creation protected I did set it to extended-confirmed, indefinitely. Based on the frequent recreation and deletion history of this page, I think this is the best option for now, and we can revisit full create protection if extended-confirmed proves ineffective.

Hi LuK3 and Largoplazo! I'm not an admin.
I see that both Kiwifruitbowl and Shonwrath are SPAs on that article. I've templated both with {{welcome-COI}} and a slightly-modified {{uw-paid1}}. The latter template sometimes forces a reply. Even if they're unpaid, the reply can reveal useful information.
If either of them makes even one single mainspace edit before replying to {{uw-paid1}}, this could be quite suspicious, and I encourage you to report it to me on my user talk page. If Kiwifruitbowl doesn't make any more edits within the next few days, feel free to template them with {{uw-tdel1}} for Special:Diff/945772449; this might trigger a reappearance — and maybe even a {{uw-paid1}} violation.
If you ever want more suggestions on dealing with SPAs, feel free to try asking myself and/or WP:COIN.
I didn't look into the IP editors' edits. I think semi-protection of the article is probably a good idea.
Kind regards, —Unforgettableid (talk) 20:59, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Salt per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/All That Heaven Will Allow. Jalen Folf (talk) 23:41, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. SALTing an article doesn't apply here, since we're talking about a redirect page, not a deleted page. This disruptive editing is only being done by one user, we should talk to this user and handle it this way, not protect the page from being edited. If I saw more than one person doing it, then I'd be much more inclined to protect the redirect page. However, I always try to have individuals warned and talked to, and the matter handled that way if only one user is causing the disruption. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:09, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stitch (Disney)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – An IP user using multiple addresses has recently been trying to establish this male artificial alien character as being of an indeterminate gender when his official canon, as well as the character's copyright holders (The Walt Disney Company) and creator/voice actor (Chris Sanders), has long established that the character is male. This is not even disputable; Disney continues to treat the character as male to this very day, such as on his page on the Disney Store website. –WPA (talk) 23:54, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Further note: Since an online store webpage is obviously not a good source, I would instead like to point to an interview with Sanders and Dean DeBlois that is already being used as a reliable source on Stitch's article. Both men, who are the writers and directors of the character's originating film Lilo & Stitch, refer to Stitch as a male throughout the interview. One quote from Sanders (from the sixth paragraph in the source; pronoun bolded for emphasis), "We needed a character that was going to really change Stitch and it seemed from the very beginning to both of us that a female character would be best to introduce him to the softer side of things, the more romantic side of things, and to the idea of family."

The King: Eternal Monarch

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Fans have been removing any criticism and negative comments on the page, and only keeping the positive. The person (a sleeper account) causing those disruptive edits has already been reverted and warned multiple time by different people since the series premiered, but they are adamant on removing anything that doesn't fit their narrative causing the article to be one-side See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_King:_Eternal_Monarch&diff=972285780&oldid=972282960 (claiming they are Apply proposed updates in the Talk page of this topic, when it was their comment on the talk page with no no replies or consensus at all. That editor did not even wait for a few hours to see the responses).

They have removed this well-source paragraph "Despite hailing as one of the most anticipated series in the first half of 2020 due to its ensemble cast, renowned screenwriter, extensive publicity and more than 30 billion Won (US$25 million) production budget, the series received criticism for its screenplay, directing, editing, and various controversies leading to lower-than-expected TV viewership ratings in Korea. Contrary to that, the series has maintained the No.1 spot on the weekly Wavve drama chart for eight consecutive weeks since its first airing, and was termed as a "hit Netflix drama" by GMA News Online, and South China Morning Post also mentioned it as a "hit Korean drama series" due to its popularity overseas." and replaced it with this misquoted and badly sourced using the unreliable flixpetrol, "The drama maintained the No.1 spot on the weekly Wavve drama chart for eight consecutive weeks since it first aired. It ranked 9th in the World Ranking chart of Global Hallyu Issue Magazine vol.37, the only Korean drama in the global Top 10 list. [Unrliable as the data is from flixpetrol which was deemed unreliable by Wikipedia] It dominated the Top 10 lists in several countries including Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand and Singapore while it was airing. [Unrliable as the data is from flixpetrol which was deemed unreliable by Wikipedia] Due to its international success, its producer, Studio Dragon, declared it likely deserving of most of the credit for the production company's record-breaking second quarter earnings. [Production company never said that, they just reported the numbers. Only 1 website claiming this and there is no way prove it is factual.]

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – BLP, but most bad edits seem to be just regular vandalism. Has been semi-protected 10 times before (though not since 2015 for some reason), all for persistent vandalism. I'm requesting pending changes instead of semi-protection this time because a good portion of the recent IP edits have been constructive. I'm requesting indefinite duration because the vandalism was not stopped by the past escalating temporary semi-protections, and is unlikely to cease anytime soon given the article subject's status as the face of a popular meme. ← PointyOintment ❬t & c❭ 05:15, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected indefinitely. Despite being PC protected for 3 years and short-term semi-protection in March, disruptive editing has continued. Looking through the edits, pretty much every non-AC editor has been reverted which suggests the chance of collateral damage is low. It seems like this is just making busywork for reviewers with no real gain for the encyclopedia, so semi-protection seems better than PC protection. — Wug·a·po·des​ 22:09, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jo Kwon

Temporary full protection: Recently, a clickbait news website published a misleading translation of a several month old interview with Jo Kwon, asserting that he had "come out" as "genderless" and (absent any request from the artist himself) presumptively commenced using they/them pronouns for the artist. https://twitter.com/gothchuI/status/1293655107222016005 Several Korean speakers have confirmed that the framing of the translation was manipulative and incorrect, and he was instead speaking about his androgynous image presentation vs. his personal identity, but I think it's inevitable to expect that English speakers will repeatedly attempt to change the pronouns of this article. Jo Kwon himself has never identified as using they/them pronouns and has not requested their use so I would like to request temporary protection of his article to prevent the artist from being misgendered. 2605:E000:1520:40B7:2094:46FD:17D8:D194 (talk) 04:21, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Milton Leitenberg

Semi-protection please. I started an article on Milton Leitenberg recently. Some questionable edits were made, and I reverted them.

Today I got this note, which says the questionable edits were made by an associate of Leitenberg. They replaced the body of the article with Leitenberg's official University biography. And they asked me to not insist on our wording, and let them replace the article with his official biography, again.

It is a naive mistake on Leitenberg's part. If the article is semi-protected they won't be able to replace the article with his official biography. Geo Swan (talk) 03:29, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Natural-born-citizen clause

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Weazie (talk) 03:08, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: This article has become a hot spot due to high-profile disputes over whether Kamala Harris is or is not a natural-born US citizen. It is highly likely to continue to attract hasty, partisan, and improperly substantiated attention for several months to come, at least until the November 2020 US presidential election, and possibly beyond. While I am not sure semi-protection is called for at this time, I would strongly recommend considering pending changes protection for a minimum of three months, possibly longer. As an admin, I could impose such protection on my own initiative, but since I have been heavily involved in this subject area for many years, such an action on my part might be deemed an inappropriate use of admin tools. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 03:29, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why is move protection needed? So far, the page was created under Israel–United Arab Emirates peace treaty and then moved to its current title. Nobody has tried moving it again. So how do we conclude there were 'several undiscussed moves'? I do see a bunch of redirects under other titles but they might just be viewed as aids to the reader.

Umar

Unprotection for 24 hours: There are another important account of Umar's conversion in authentic Sunni Islamic tradition which I want add in the article: "However, in the narrations of Ahmad Ibn Hanbal and Ibn Hisham there is another incident of Omar's conversion to Islam that[1], one night, Umar was following Muhammad while he was praying in front of the Kaaba. Then hearing the words of the Qur'an reciting by Muhammad, he thought, they are never man-made words, but rather words written by God. He then told Muhammad that Islam had entered his heart.[1][1]

According to Bukhari, before converting to Islam, Umar ibn Khattab used to beat his sister Fatima and brother-in-law Saeed with ropes for converting to Islam. However, after his conversion to Islam, he was in a state of fear and made himself hidden from the public in the begining. When the locals found out that he had converted, they came to beat him and then Al-As ibn Wa'il saved him.[1]"

Sure - most IP edits for at least a few weeks have been unexplained and unsourced changes of every instance of the topic's name. They are repeatedly changing every mention of "Borana Oromo" to "Somali." (No objection to the change being made if it's actually called for, but it would call for a discussion, proof, and page title change as well, and that isn't happening here.)

Elma S. Beganovich

Full protection: Ms. Beganovich has misrepresented her credentials as a practicing attorney. Searches of the New York, Florida, and Washington, DC legal bar associations report no admittance at any time. She has used legal threats to attempt to manipulate this information. Additionally, her client list per Amra & Elma is widely overstated. After conferring with Taj Hotels, a sample client as reported on her website, we can confirm that they report no involvement with Ms. Beganovich or her company Amra & Elma in any capacity.

We respectfully request full protection beginning with the updates to her credentials which document her falsified claims as an attorney, along with falsified client lists. This request is being submitted by IP address for fear of continued legal retaliation from Ms. Beganovich.

Please note references to the relevant legal bar associatons, which return no results for Ms. Beganovich upon searching.

Based off the formatting for this season previously announced (4 quarterfinal rounds, 2 semifinal rounds, 1 finals round) and taking a look at the listings on The Futon Critic, it seems like September 1/2 will be QFs 4, September 8/9 will be SFs 1, September 15/16 will be SFs 2, and that would then make September 22/23 the finals/finale.

As pointed out on the talk page, some of these edits come from an IP address from the place of employment of the article's subject (the article's subject previously made edits under an account obviously from them, was warned about conflict of interest edits, and then appears to have switched to anon/IP editing).

  • Ferret increased the protection last year because of vandalism from autoconfirmed accounts, which would necessitate extended confirmed protection. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:09, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • More specifically, this protection is in place due to sustained attacks by an LTA, who remains active. Either way, "there's a lot of minecraft players" is not grounds for lowering protection. The article is still being edited fairly consistently by EC users and edit requests are answered promptly. @ThesenatorO5-2: Please note the instructions for this section.

User talk:PhilipTerryGraham

Full protection: I have taken the decision recently to retire from Wikipedia. Despite my now-defunct talk page having a {{Retired}} banner, {{Nobots}}, and an edit note asking users not to add to the talk page, users are still adding notices to the talk page. [1][2] I'm requesting full protection to ensure no more messages pollute my talk page after I've left for good. I'd hate for it to become a dumping ground of notices. – PhilipTerryGraham 06:56, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Declined. @PhilipTerryGraham: Regrettably, as a matter of principle I don't think this is a good idea. I vaguely remember cases in the past where administrators have been criticized for fully protecting their own talk pages when they left Wikipedia on the basis that it was not supported by the protection policy and is against the spirit of what we ordinarily use page protection for (i.e. preventing disruptive editing). Additionally, other editors may wish to bring matters to your attention in the event that you do return from retirement. Again, I'm sorry about this, and I'm sorry to hear that you've decided to retire. Respectfully, Mz7 (talk) 06:23, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Mz7: This is disappointing to hear. Is there any other way I can try to prevent or, at the very least, discourage editors from posting notices on my defunct talk page, especially automated notices made on behalf of user accounts that bypass {{Nobots}}? – PhilipTerryGraham 07:04, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@PhilipTerryGraham: Hmm, I'm thinking you could set up a bot to automatically archive all messages left on your user talk page after, say, 24 hours. See User:Lowercase sigmabot III/Archive HowTo—if you would like, I could look into doing this for you. Aside from that, I'm not really sure beyond leaving a note at the top of your talk page asking editors not to leave messages (though with certain automated tools like Twinkle, editors might automatically send you messages without reading the notice). Mz7 (talk) 07:11, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Mz7: The archive bot idea is actually a really good solution! I'll make an attempt to do exactly that. – PhilipTerryGraham 07:17, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    There’s also recent IP vandalism, on top of the edit-warring between EC users over the infobox. So both long-term semi-protection and short-term full protection are probably warranted (although one of the edit warring editors has just been blocked and edit-warring hasn’t continued so full protection may no longer be necessary). — MarkH21talk 18:44, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If a talk page is permanently protected, no new or unregistered users will be able to talk about the page, which is bad as the page itself is extended-confirmed protected, and unregistered users may need to send edit requests. Sysages (talk | contribs) 21:26, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Sysages: How many edits would you need to get the 30/500 status? and currently, only approx 0.07% of users are extended confirmed, counting sysops. This means that 99.3% of users need a edit request. Also I have 410 edits :). --ThesenatorO5-2argue with me|00:56, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ThesenatorO5-2, 30/500 stands for "30 days/500 edits". In this case, however, Wikipedia talk:User pages is merely semi-protected, not EC-protected, so you only need 4 days and 10 edits to edit. Mz7 (talk) 13:25, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq: Three hours may be enough—though the vandal mentioned in one of the earlier edit summaries that they are targeting the article because it's TFA on the main page, so it may be safer to protect it until the end of the day. I doubt I'll still be online when the semi-protection expires, but I assume another editor can make a request here if the vandal returns. Armadillopteryx 04:15, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Wugapodes: That is NOT the case. The edit summary left by the latest IP is misleading – there was no "signing off by another editor". No such agreement exists. Please refer to the article's talk page. If this is a content dispute that the other party wants to discuss in good faith they should not be jumping between various IP addresses (and an account), and using flippant edit summaries to edit war, such as "third time's a charm".

Temporary full protection A pending change protection has been implemented ( https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection/Rolling_archive&diff=prev&oldid=920447245 ) but some accounts still have a disruptive behavior: removal of whole section with sources, adding only positive ranking in the introduction. A temporary full protection would be useful, the time that this is sorted out in the talk page. --Delfield (talk) 08:42, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply.

Racial classification of Indian Americans

Extended confirmed protection: Short term semi-protection of the page has proved to be ineffective as a deterrent to persistent sockpuppetry. Article was semi-protected by various administrators in January 2020, October 2019, May 2019, and February 2019. Additional protection is required to prevent continued abuse. - AmericanHistorian (talk) 01:05, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There were two edits in August (one revert to an old version, followed by a revert of that). Seems pretty manageable without protection. OhNoitsJamie Talk 01:37, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Ohnoitsjamie: Yes, the month of August has been manageable. However, vandalism and subsequent edit wars as a result of unregistered IP addresses or unconfirmed accounts have been going on for over 2 years. I strongly recommend providing extended confirmed protection to this page. AmericanHistorian (talk) 02:17, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Concur with Jamie. Semi-protection is not needed at this time, although it has been needed at times in the past. There is certainly no need for extended confirmed protection since there is no disruption by extended confirmed users.  MelanieN (talk) 00:00, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Increase protection: Since the series has ended, vandalism/inaccurate edits by anonymous users have gone unnoticed from over a month ago, to the point of showing up in Google searches, since it is being checked less frequently.

Indeed.

Malang Sarr

Temporary semi-protection: This article is about a currently free agent professional footballer. The article was protected on August 20 due, in part, to a mass uptick in signing rumors. That protection expired on August 22. Since then, the article has been the subject of at least 13 reversions, mostly having to do with people adding his new team as Chelsea F.C.. At this point, this is only rumor. It is known that Chelsea is seeking to sign Sarr, but has not happened yet. Despite many, many reversions of this uncited addition, it keeps happening. The article is being badly disrupted. Seeking temporary semi-protection, perhaps a week this time.

J. R. R. Tolkien

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent editing by Chiswick Chap and unnecessary reverts by FlightTime. I've made several edits over the past month or so to the section on Tolkien's religious views. Chiswick Chap has always attempted to truncate my edits and in the process has almost always distorted the information in my edits. This initially began with an attempt to reduce blockquotes which I let slide, but now it persists into incessant meddling.

User FlightTime has gone even further say that I should "stop my disruptive preaching." And threatened to block me if I "try and force [my] beliefs on Wikipedia" when I have done no such thing. I have simply made edits reflecting Tolkien's on views. I have asked FlightTime to explain himself and have only been met with threats of having me blocked, which can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:LongIslandThomist914.

Second Italo-Ethiopian War

Indefinite semi-protection: This article has been the subject of sporadic undiscussed POV edits and vandalism for several years leading it to receive temporary semi-protection (protection log [33]). It is now the subject of another bout of IP and brand new accounts attempting to implement POV/vandalism changes despite reversions by different users and bots. This article has been on my watchlist for years and in that time 90% of the edits by brand new or unregistered accounts have been garbage (like changing who won the war in the infobox). I'd rather we force these users to at the least have to post their garbage suggestions on the talk page rather than constantly backtracking to fix the main article page after they mess with it. -Indy beetle (talk) 21:45, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Long-term semi-protection (like for a few weeks or months): I stated before that there is persistent disrupting editing at this article. Repeated additions of poor sourcing, unsourced material, or inaccurate material. IP-hopping and edit warring. Problem is ongoing. Will die down for a bit and then start up again. Last time, pending changes were implemented, as if that would help. Maybe it would help if this actress was as famous as Emilia Clarke, for example.

PVT Murphy's Law

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – For the past few years on regular occasions, there have been multiple instances of editors adding potentially WP:OR information into this article. One of the aforementioned editors is most likely the creator of subject of the article itself. (Please see the article's edit history and Talk:PVT Murphy's Law for more in-depth information regarding this.) Since I do not foresee this ending, and I really do think the editor who is most likely the creator of the subject of the article is editing in good faith, I think giving this article indefinite Pending Changes protection should resolve/prevent further issues on this article. Steel1943 (talk) 05:05, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
