Temporary semi-protection: Anon IPs keep changing the year of opening without proper sourcing to backup the change (the cited source gives 2023), could be good-faith but may also possibly be disruptive editing.

Web 2.0 Suicide Machine

alright so anyways i request for this article to be protected because some [racist statement redacted] literally removed SCORES of meaningful content from the before-mentioned article under an ip

like

check their contribs

i warned them but an administrator undid my edit and i only reverted one of their edits i wasnt actually there to revert all of the vandalism because i checked recentchanges and did not see it up until now so yeah this is my request for this page to be semi-protected so that only unregistered and non-autoconfirmed users can not edit it because this VERY CLEARLY is a target of vandalism from what i have just seen i dont know why i havent requested this yet .-.

  • I hope other editors (Chalst, Kvng, Pavlor, AmericanAir88, Widefox, 94rain, Dgpop, Andy_Dingley, KylieTastic, Rosguill) with experience in deletion discussions about programming languages would review the draft. Thanks to everyone Charmk (talk) 19:45, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm opposed to unprotection. The highlighted secondary sources fall short of the mark IMO: the InfoWorld and Dotnetpro coverage reads like a press release, muslim-res's coverage of the language itself is purely a QA interview (there's some secondary coverage of its creator but that doesn't help build a case for the language), Ciklum is of unclear reliability and has fairly brief coverage. The article in draftspace itself reads like a README, there's barely a shred of independent analysis of the subject throughout (unsurprising, given the above sources). signed, Rosguill talk 20:29, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • In one of the deletion discussions about a programming language called Citrine [[4]] We used a reference from the same magazine (InfoWorld) by the same author (Paul Krill) to establish notability. I think it's a good secondary reference. Charmk (talk) 21:32, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The article in draftspace itself reads like a README" The article could be improved by other editors, if after creating the article someone don't like the reference (another deletion discussion is a better place).
  • It's an Unprotection request, so when other editors accept the draft, they can move it to the main space. I will not do this myself, and not each draft reviewer is an administrator. Charmk (talk) 21:37, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not unprotected If and when an editor reviews the article and wants to move it to article space, then it can be unprotected. Woody (talk) 11:58, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Second this. This is a BLP issue since editors in good faith keep incorrectly claiming that this one has died. Identical three-part name, same political party, but wrong person. I made this worse by adding an English news source for the unsourced claims of the death, without realizing the error in identification. Meters (talk) 20:33, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Please protect for a number of years, an IP has been adding the same unsourced statement about speed limits since September 2016 and it already has 12 logs. This editor has also been warned and blocked a number of times on a number of IP addresses. It was pending changes protected from August 2019 to August 2020 and even then this change was made 5 times, in the month and a bit that its been unprotected this change was made 3 times.

Talk:Code page 1117

Brief semi-protection of talk page. I really don't like the idea of protecting talk pages, but this one is the latest target of the IP=hopping 2a01 troll (2a01:119f:31b:5d00:64b6:46ee:9910:1d2a/39 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)). I am hoping that a short semi will result him giving up, at least for a while. BTW, is it now possible to apply a rangeblock to just one page? That would make it unlikely to cause collateral damage if the software allows it. Guy Macon (talk) 15:26, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Frequently vandalised in the past 3 months since the club was renamed – women's football team that is now connected to a club with a very large following.

They're playing their first game as Real Madrid Femenino today, so the unhelpful edits will probably intensify.

Cheers Geo Swan (talk) 03:37, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @Geo Swan: Sorry but the edits are defensible and there is no discussion on talk. I've only glanced at the article (and am not offering an opinion on content) but having a paragraph devoted to someone having to lay off staff (during covid) in such a short article would need to be justified (what sources suggest it is significant in the life of the subject?), while edits to remove it are not vandalism. Johnuniq (talk) 02:10, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • You note that "there is no discussion on talk". That is precisely the point. Complicated and controversial edits should never be explained solely by an edit summary. It is the biggest trigger to edit warring, because the person who disagrees is tempted to reply in their own edit summary. Semi-protection is a tool to prevent this kind of edit-warring. In this particular case the individual behind the edits didn't even leave meaningful edit summaries.
  • You note you didn't really read the article, but assert "someone having to lay off staff (during covid)" wasn't noteworthy? The very substantial layoff predated covid shutdowns. The layoff was not due to covid. Geo Swan (talk) 02:21, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Someone wanting to add contested material to a BLP needs to justify it with at least a brief explanation on talk. That's standard, even when dealing with IPs. At any rate, removing it is not vandalism. Johnuniq (talk) 02:48, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    1. Repeated removal of the same material, without any attempt at explanation -- what we saw here -- is edit warring, a kind of vandalism.
    2. I placed the passage in the article, when I first started it. I strongly disagree with your characterization that it is "contested material". I don't know how you reached that interpretation. There are additional RS I could have used, in addition to the NYTimes. Was that really necessary? Geo Swan (talk) 04:13, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Zersetzung

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing. The Banner talk 09:25, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Any opinions on what to do? The problem is that over a long period (probably more than the six months I looked at), IPs add original research saying that various agencies (such as the FBI) have engaged in Zersetzung due to [incident with no mention of Zersetzung]. There is a section at Talk:Zersetzung#Similar techniques elsewhere deletions explaining this problem, but no one has responded. I don't like PC and am unsure what precedent there is to apply it indefinitely when the article has never been protected. I would semi protect for 3 months and escalate from there, but I'm hoping for thoughts or, better still, someone to act on the request. Johnuniq (talk) 02:30, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@The Banner: In case there is no further discussion here, please notify me if problems continue and I will semi for 3 months. Johnuniq (talk) 04:18, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@The Banner: @Johnuniq: Actually, this is a perfect example of where to use pending changes (and why pending-changes protection was implemented in the first place): very low rate of edits, repetive kind of disruption, not a very great burden of reviewing the rare edit by IPs when theys occur. I would have no qualms whatsoever to put this under pending changes, let's say for 6 months at first while watchlisting. Not having the satisfaction of your edits going live immediately is sometimes a very great deterrent to this kind of disruption. Lectonar (talk) 06:19, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of military engagements in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

Semi-protection: The page concerns a timeline about a very contentious current military conflict. Since the parent article has been extended-confirmed protected, I believe it would be prudent to apply AT LEAST semi-protection to this page. The page so far has not suffered vandalism, but this is only because it is brand new. I believe that we will see IP vandalism and other disruptive, biased editing unless this page is protected.

Beg to differ. There seems to be a meat farm (which have little to no edits outside this article) persistent on adding London–Heathrow without any credible source defined in WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT, failing WP:V. Inferring to content from airline booking engine that it's seasonal like you did here is original research. I believe the protection should be PC for a temp duration. — LeoFrank  Talk 16:42, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There is clearly meat/sockpuppetry going on. Semi-protection will stop some but not all of it since some of the socks are autoconfirmed, but let's see how it goes.

GPinkerton has now twice-deleted an "undue weight" tag added to a section in which he was the primary author of additional content.

User GPinkerton is actually one of the problem editors here. EP wouldn't exclude him. No protection is necessary at the moment.

Color depth

Pending protection: There's a decent amount of regular vandalism. I had some time over to sit and do "nothing", so I looked through the history page and found no less than 30 occasions of outright vandalism during the past 500 edits going back to August 2011. All are from IPs and new accounts, where almost all are from IPs.

The occasions are on 9 September 2020, 21 May 2020, 3 February 2020, 2 July 2019, 30 May 2019, 3 April 2019, 30 January 2019, 19 and 12 September 2017, 10 January 2017, 29 September 2016, 9 and 4 July 2016, 31 May 2016, 23 July 2015 22 February 2015, 8 September 2014, 21 November 2013, 3 September 2013, 29, 8 and 7 January 2013, 7 December 2012, 21 October 2012, 4 September 2012, 16 July 2012, 16 February 2012, 8 January 2012, 26 November 2011, 8 October 2011.

Some more are bad edits in good faith from mostly IPs. The vast majority of IP edits overall in later years are bad. I don't know if this level of vandalism is enough to warrant a (pending changes) protection or if it's considered an acceptable level, and if warranted, for how long, but that is partly why I ask. --Mango från yttre rymden (talk) 15:59, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. This looks like recent changes patrolers can handle it.

Reduction in protection level: From full protection to extended confirmed protection for creation (their might be users trying to recreate article in bad or promotional manner but extended confirmed protection is enough).

I suspect they mean Vaibhav Palhade. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vaibhav Palhade (2nd nomination). --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:48, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
EdJohnston, Yes the spelling is correct, I asked User:Dreamy Jazz about it. Also I've read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vaibhav Palhade. Pratyush.shrivastava (talk) 05:52, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Pratyush. You submitted a request for Vaibhav Palhad, which seems to be a misspelling. I've now fixed the name above to Vaibhav Palhade, and will take another look. Thanks to User:Malcolmxl5 for the note. Pratyush, if you discussed this with User:Dreamy Jazz, can you tell me where that occurred? EdJohnston (talk) 15:58, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
From my memory, I have never been contacted about the protection on this page. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 16:30, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
From reviewing their contributions, they contacted Materialscientist about the page, but have never contacted me. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 16:33, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the create protection on Draft:Vaibhav Palhade. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 16:39, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I still doubt that Vaibhav Palhade is actually notable, so I'm not going to remove create protection in the mainspace until a draft with sufficient notability is created. This is per the two AfDs and also due to the cross-wiki socking promoting this person (4 reports for this sockmaster in the archive) by Viralvilla and their socks up until around a little over a month and a half ago. If a draft is created which is suitable for mainspace (i.e. the subject is notable etc.), any AfC reviewer can ping me (or request here) to request the page protection be lowered. I oppose unsalting the mainspace title until there is a draft which is notable / it has been reviewed at AfC. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 16:46, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry Dreamy Jazz, I was little confused, accept my sincere apologies. I remember now, I contacted User:Materialscientist for reviewing and providing draft and maybe he was busy. Thank you for understanding it. Also, I understand the subject of this article must go through AFC process. Pratyush.shrivastava (talk) 16:55, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
no worries. If you want to create it, feel free to start it at Draft:Vaibhav Palhade. I think that means we are done here. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 17:07, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Extended Confirmed move protection: Can someone reduce the move protection level from full to extended confirmed per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=move&user=&page=Gordon+Ramsay&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype= What is the point of leaving full protection when this page has not been moved once, I see this does not make sense. --94.73.36.20 (talk) 18:16, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Connormah I'm not sure why an IP would need the move protection lowered, but you are the one who in 2015 applied the move protection from auto confirmed to sysop. I changed the edit protection to full back in 2016. — Maile (talk) 10:37, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

— Maile Why did you do change the move protection level to full? This request is only for reducing move level protection to Extended Confirmed. --37.29.128.151 (talk) 16:11, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did not change the move protection. Connormah changed it to indefinitely "[move=sysop] (indefinite)" in 2015, which is the same thing as full move protection. I changed the edit protection in 2016 to auto-confirmed, per a request on this page. I guess the template wording changed before then, because it said "[Move=Require administrator access]". Sysops are admins. No one has made changes since 2016. — Maile (talk) 16:28, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't make sense to leave full protection when this page doesn't have a single move log entry. I do not intend on moving it with any account at all. Full move protection should be for persistent vandalistic moves by Extended Confirmed Users in my opinion. --94.73.37.114 (talk) 18:21, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

K. Surendran (politician)

Unprotection: Per discussion with the protecting admin at User talk:BD2412#K. Surendran, I am requested an uninvolved administrator review Draft:K. Surendran (politician) and determine whether to unsalt K. Surendran (politician) and accept it or if the issues brought up at AfD and DRV have not been fully resolved yet. Nathan2055talk - contribs 20:45, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: A request for unprotection is not the right venue to have an article reviewed, imho. Once the draft is accepted, the article title is easy enough to unprotect, but it won't be unprotected unless the draft is accepted. Lectonar (talk) 11:53, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Lectonar: Per the above discussions, nobody seems to have objected to accepting the draft, however no admin has unsalted the page. I came to RPP because BD2412, the original protecting admin, declined to comment on the matter and said I should ask an uninvolved administrator. As the draft cannot be accepted until someone unsalts the title, I'm not sure what the next step here is. Nathan2055talk - contribs 03:15, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the draft can be accepted without unsalting the article; just the following move to mainspace isn't possible without unprotecting....so, the draft still is technically under review, and the last remarks by the reviewers did not leave me with the impression that it would be accepted in the current version.

It was last edited in mid August (edits which should have been in the sandbox) by two non-TE editors. I'm happy to elevate to TE protection or leave it. Johnuniq (talk) 03:53, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Johnuniq, that's an interesting little edit war. I'd say it's enough to merit a return to TE; that sort of thing shouldn't be happening ona template that heavily-used. Primefac (talk) 13:47, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Template protected indefinitely. per the above. — Wug·a·po·des​ 17:50, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection or, failing that, pending changes protection: persistent vandalism: a majority of IP and new account edits for over a year now have been vandalism of the pronouns, or occasionally other IPs / new editors changing the pronouns back but in an inept find-and-replace way that has resulted in pronouns inside quotations/headlines being changed, which is also inappropriate. -sche (talk) 15:39, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Too son for indefinite protection of any kind, but let's see how PC protection goes.

Semi-protected for a period of 31 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It looks vaguely like an edit war where one anon keeps trying to edit the table and the other keeps reverting it without notifying the other anon (except by edit summary which they likely aren't seeing). Hopefully the protection and log entry get the two to stop cluttering the edit history and use the talk page. — Wug·a·po·des​ 18:15, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cambodia national football team

Unprotection: Unprotection due to lack of popularity. Cambodia national football team isn't that famous like Mexico, Egypt or Peru. Such protection for football team should only be required for more popular national football sides. ZaDoraemonzu (talk) 06:06, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Articles about football teams are prone to disruption and vandalism regardless of popularity. Lectonar (talk) 09:08, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I doubt it. Nobody knows how good Cambodian players are, and even spelling their players' names is a problem enough. I won't oppose protection for FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Mexico, Colombia or Ukraine, however. Besides, Cambodians have their responsibility for their national team, they have to know better. ZaDoraemonzu (talk) 09:51, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ZaDoraemonzu, sorry, but none of those things have much to do with the matter at hand. Drmies (talk) 13:55, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies: last protecting admin. Lectonar (talk) 10:43, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Lectonar, I had a vague memory of socking and my note confirms that, though I do not recollect who or what that was. There's a sock, User:Kwamrak]], in the history, but I don't remember if that's what it was; if I had to guess I'd say that CU revealed a series of IPs, maybe, judging from the history. But it's been a long time and I guess I don't mind unprotecting just to see how it goes. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 13:55, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Page is being reverted to a previous state with an exhaustive list of vehicles in game. Consensus as per WP:GAMECRUFT #7 is to leave this out. Two IP editors have undone the changes and I don't really want to deal with it. I think an appropriate length for protection would be 1-2 months. If not semi then temporary pending may be more appropriate. HarryKernow (talk) 00:34, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @HarryKernow: I'm sympathetic regarding the problem, but we have to play by the rules. Please briefly explain the problem on the article talk page and link to the section in the edit summary of the next revert.

Race and intelligence

Indefinite semi-protection, perhaps higher Extended confirmed protection. Persistent disruptions and edit warring on a highly contentious topic. Very surprised to see this was not already protected. If this article was ever temporarily protected, then clearly indefinite protection is needed. I would also recommend an admin look at articles related to this topic at their discretion, and make summary judgements protect other articles. Onetwothreeip (talk) 01:22, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @Onetwothreeip: That article is indefinitely semi protected (since February). Click "Page information" in the left sidebar at the article to see the current settings. Johnuniq (talk) 02:35, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnuniq: Then I ask for extended confirmed protection given the persistent issues have not been abated by semi-protection. Onetwothreeip (talk) 02:39, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Onetwothreeip: An uninvolved admin can apply protection or sanction users based on WP:ARBR&I. I would protect if there were clear disruption but it's just drip-drip at the moment and I am too WP:INVOLVED in the topic to take action under these circumstances. Johnuniq (talk) 02:45, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. I ask Mifter the same request, as the other admin currently active on this page. Onetwothreeip (talk) 02:53, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the case, the semi-protection will give them an unfair advantage, and extended confirmed protection can only be applied if the semi-protection have not helped.

The King (2019 film)

Semi-protection: One user continues editing this page with an oddly aggressively worded section about Historical Inaccuracies. Not only does this not warrant an entire section, but the tone of the writing is incredibly biased and confrontational. It is clear the author disdains the approach the film took, but this was not a broad controversy, just one user’s bone to pick, and it does not belong on the film’s Wikipedia page. Multiple users have attempted shortening it in an effort to remove the bias, but this same user continues adding the same massive section over and over. I would advise either protecting the short single paragraph form that was just edited back, or removing the Historical Accuracy section entirely, and then protecting it from future edits.

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: The existing semi-protection is not enough. Now attacks on the article come from auto-confirmed accounts. The same guys have recently been blocked in the ru-wiki, and the protection level of the article has been raised to “only administrators can edit”. In the case of en-wiki, I suppose there will be sufficient extended-confirmed level protection. --Khinkali (talk) 18:43, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment talk, You see the users that engaging distruptive behavior (Full.team) is blocked from editing, and arguments that in the ru-wiki the protection level of the article has been raised to “only administrators can edit” has not relevant. In ru-wiki, this is due to edit warring/content dispute. You see any content dispute in en-wiki? IMO, the request should be declined due to fact that users conducting distruptive behavior is now blocked. 36.65.46.79 (talk) 19:08, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

National Day of Spain

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent recreation of already existing article (the target). Onel5969 TT me 18:43, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent complete deletion of a new content, the whole published article, published by the undersigned in a previously void article (only a redirecting page) and misleading. The language of target page title matches the language of the content so any English speaking person looking for the target information (i.e. search for National Day of Spain) will find it. Instead, another page in English language displays a title in Spanish ("Fiesta Nacional de España") which provokes a huge damage for any English speaking person will do the search in English not in Spanish. This is an illogical situation and inacceptable language appropriation that I seek to change by asking Wikipedia to protect the target page, National Day of Spain, with its own content as I have first published it today in replacement of the simply redirection first.

Reduction in protection level: from extended confirmed protection to semi-protection. The talk page is rather quiet and there has not been much issues. The protecting administrator is User:Yamaguchi先生. I would like to add more to the page in the coming weeks, including maps and images from reputable sources. Thanks WanderingGeeljire (talk) 15:33, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected. This request seems reasonable enough. I've reduced the protection to indefinite semi-protection. If the disruptive editing and/or vandalism resumes, it should be taken back to extended confirmed protection again. ‑Scottywong| [speak] || 05:25, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated unnecessary edits that go against standard practice by 141.8.10.31 that add confusing and unnecessary material to the infobox of the player. This user has been banned from editing for 72 hours before for the same unnecessary edits, but when the 72 hours elapsed, they immediately continued the unnecessary edits. I have tried to engage the user on their talk page, as has Ohnoitsjamie, but the user has not responded or change their actions. I request that the user is either permanently banned from editing Will Donkin's page or that page is given semi-protection. Thank you. Anwegmann (talk) 19:11, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cardano (cryptocurrency platform)

Reduction in protection level: to semi-protection. Page mentioned has only just been made available for editors to adjust (1-2 weeks) and has already been upped in protection level. Protection level was upped due to another user notifying admin of content deletion (of which I had no involvement - request/notification can be seen on talk page of wiki subject). Admin also cites upped protection due to a single removal of "unreliable source" tag. I removed the tag and provided an explanation of my reasoning to do so in the comments (edit in question regarded a TNO source, a well known Dutch research institute which even has its own wiki page). I reviewed wiki's policies for proper sourcing and also checked the source in question myself. I would have happily allowed another user to undo the removal of the tag and further disputed the change on the talk page. Upping of the protection level seems, to me, quite a knee jerk reaction in this instance for such minor changes. Give the page a month or two to reach consensus and edits will calm down significantly I am sure. It is not unusual that after years of being unable to edit people within the community are eager to build the wiki page. Currently, myself and other (relatively new) wiki contributors are unable to make edits to improve the page due to 30 day limit/ few edits. New contributors have only just begun trying to improve the page as it has been inactive for quite some time and recently been made available again. Thank you for your consideration & second opinion on the matter. Blockchainus Maximus (talk) 20:35, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected This article was protected under Wikipedia:General sanctions/Blockchain and cryptocurrencies. As such it cannot be unprotected without the approval of the sanctioning administrator or by an appeal to WP:AN. I can see that you have asked User:EdJohnston to reduce the protection and they have directed you here. I can't disagree with the protection given the conversation on Ed's talk page. This is a contentious area that attracts a stream of WP:COI and WP:NPOV editors If you wish to make edits to the page please suggest them on the talkpage. Woody (talk) 15:37, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Woody for your reply and hints as to how to potentially resolve the issue. I will post edits on the talk page for now then and perhaps use your suggestion to file an appeal in this case, if they indeed concur that it was appropriate there is not much I can do about that I suppose. I simply found it strange that for a simple deletion of a single tag (with justification as you can see on Ed's talk page) was used as justification to prevent edits (in addition to, ironically, deletions by users with over 500+ edits - complaint by User:Kuckuckz). Although I and others (so it seems) would want to come to a consensus it is made far more difficult with this level of protection. As stated in my comment above there has been a flurry of activity as the page has only been open for 1-2 weeks for new users to edit / improve upon so it is only natural there will be some disagreement initially before reaching consensus. As the topic of cardano is incredibly "niche" many knowledgeable individuals (who aren't usually wiki contributors) are hampered from providing improvements (the talk page is nice but progress moves at snail pace). Thank you for considering it and your advice, definitely true we as editors must try to remain as neutral and un-biased as possible with factual, well referenced edits. User IOHKwriter may also be interested to see this. Blockchainus Maximus (talk) 16:01, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Non-admin comment The multiple registered users that engage in edit warring with a single IP have ECP status so ECP doesn't sufficent to prevent edit warring. Maybe a full or semi-protection instead. Therefore, i also report one IP (89.164.212.8) that involve in edit warring to AIV. 180.244.123.24 (talk) 22:01, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: Persistent vandalism – 10 to 12 attempts were made to revert the redirect which was achieved through consensus. I previously asked for full protection but was only semi protected. My fear came true, any new user now can revert the page, or any experience editor. Please place a full protection even if its for temporary period, but that what it needs, other protection are evidently not helpful. Drat8sub (talk) 21:02, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no consensus on the RFC. The consensus was based on the votes by SPA's. It has been discussed on the admins' noticeboard and, the consensus was to overturn the redirect per the discussion on the Administrators' noticeboard.
