Ryan Andrews (director)

Reason: Persistent vandalism over past 24 hours by single-purpose accounts. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 21:26, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. DatGuyTalkContribs 21:31, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Contents/feedback

Temporary pending changes: The disruption did not stop after editnotice has been implemented. Requesting temporary PC protection so that edits get reviewed prior to publication. Interstellarity (talk) 15:56, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - This isn't really what PC is meant for. Besides, pages that new editors are told to edit will always attract test/nonconstructive edits, and any other level of protection will ruin the point of it. DatGuyTalkContribs 21:35, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alana Haim

Reason: Requesting for a second time. This page continues to be a target for disruption from multiple IPs. Novemberjazz 20:59, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Previous semi-protection for this was 6 months. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:24, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Previous protection was also for sockpuppetry. DatGuyTalkContribs 21:31, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:LilianaUwU

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – LTA. LilianaUwU (talk / contribs) 00:26, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Twitter, Inc.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP vandalism resumed after protection expired. 25stargeneral (talk) 22:14, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. Request again if vandalism resumes from other users. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 22:18, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 06:43, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ty Gibbs

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism by several users due to Gibbs' controversial finish at the last Xfinity race. Areaseven (talk) 05:30, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Let us never speak of my original protection summary again. El_C 06:38, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Katyn massacre/Archive 3

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Latest target of globally banned LTA and serial proxy abuser WP:LTA/GRP, after the first two talk page archives of this page were semi-protected. No need for anons to edit this archive in any case. JavaHurricane 05:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Well, now all the talk page archives are now semiprotected indefinitely, so that's that, I suppose. El_C 06:29, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Katrina Kaif filmography

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:26, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 06:42, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:H:title

Unprotection: This is a redirect of {{Hover title}} which is being merged with {{Tooltip}} per this TFD. This redirect is going to be merged as well. Since it no longer has any transclusions, it can be unprotected. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 03:57, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done Lectonar (talk) 08:30, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lectonar you have unprotected {{Hover title}}, this request was for unprotection of {{H:title}} which redirects to {{Hover title}}. Of course {{Hover title}} itself now has only 118 transclusions so I don't think it needs Template editor protection restored, probably semi protection is enough there. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 08:46, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah.-.the redirect from the request worked properly :). Should be fixed now. Lectonar (talk) 08:56, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mister International 2022

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism. Migsmigss (talk) 00:21, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 04:19, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mister International

Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism. Migsmigss (talk) 00:22, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Migsmigss, I think, because nobody uses edit summaries, so who knows what's actually happening. El_C 06:51, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ə

Reason: High levels of nonconstructive edits regarding its use as gender-neutral term in Italian language. Roostery123 (talk) 00:57, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected indefinitely. Logged AƏ action. El_C 06:49, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Leonardo Nemer Caldeira Brant

Reason: Repeated addition of inappropriate material by IPs, after User:Caio Wiki Editor was indefinitely blocked from the page for disruptive behaviour/CoI etc. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:03, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked: 2804:14C:5B74:A630:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case for 2 weeks; that was the only IP disrupting the article. Daniel Case (talk) 04:14, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Takeoff (rapper)

Temporary pending changes protection: Persistent Vandalism. ButterCashier (talk) 09:57, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This is largely due to unconfirmed rumours circulating that he has died, which numerous IPs and unconfirmed editors are adding to the page, in violation of BLP. WJ94 (talk) 10:21, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Due to his presumed death, it is prone to heavy IP vandalism with non-sourced information. Zaskoki1 (talk) 10:36, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: High level of IP vandalism and recent alleged death. gtgamer79 (talk) 10:49, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Edit war. Increase protection immediately. Situation is getting out of control. Timothytyy (talk) 10:53, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - David Gerard (talk) 10:58, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@David Gerard Autoconfirmed users are still spamming the article. Timothytyy (talk) 10:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
gawd what a mess. Extended-confirmed for a day - that should be enough to get stuff sorted out. Hopefully won't have to go to full protection - David Gerard (talk) 11:02, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Requesting immediate archiving... Favonian (talk) 14:19, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Brothers in Unity

Reason: Disruptive edits (removal of well-sourced material; deceptive edit summaries) made by two new accounts and two anon accounts over the past week; pattern suggests sockpuppetry and conflict of interest PRRfan (talk) 04:13, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. Range p-blocked for 2 weeks (block notice). PRRfan, these are all from the one /64 range. Feel free to relist if problems arise from additional accounts. To possibly expedite, you may also drop me a line on my talk page. HTH. El_C 06:24, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[citation needed]? DatGuyTalkContribs 15:15, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All Dogs Go to Heaven 2

Reason: There is already a temporary auto-correct for here but I think it should be permanent because of the fact that people keep putting the fact that Gordon Freeman from Half-Life died on the article because of Half Life VR but the AI is Self Aware. Waylon111 (talk) 14:51, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Protection lenghts are usually escalated slowly; this article is already protected until July '23. We can take another look then...often things cool down with time. Lectonar (talk) 15:16, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, can someone archive this? I didn't know that my previous request was denied. Waylon111 (talk) 15:26, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Multiple IPs originating from South Korea kept changing wikilink from correct ones to incorrect ones despite being reverted multiple times by multiple users (including AGF IP users). — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 14:29, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Steven Walling • talk 20:49, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lee Ji-hoon (actor, born 1988)

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – IPs are updating this page to say "Lee Ji-hoon" has died, but do not cite any sources (reliable or not). News reports that a "Lee Jihan" age 24 died in the S. Korean Halloween incident. The reported age (24) doesn't line up with this Lee Ji-hoon (age 34) and there are other inconsistencies in the reports that may indicate this is not the person who died. But maybe it is the same person. It is hard to tell. Request protection for a few days or a week to allow time for more definitive reports to be publish and seasoned editors can make appropriate updates. –. Archer1234 (talk) 16:14, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not the same person, the subject is still alive. As far as I'm aware of, the deceased currently doesn't has a article here. Regardless, it should be protected temporarily. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 16:18, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2022-10-31/News and notes

Reason: IP vandal, has used four different IPv4 and IPv6 address so far, ad hominem stuff. I don't think I've ever needed to request protection for a Signpost page before, so if there's another alternative that's cool. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:17, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: IPs keep adding unsourced or poorly sourced content in the article. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 16:15, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not enough to justify page protection, in my opinion LordEnma8 (talk) 17:04, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of two months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 22:12, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Last Rocket

Reason: Due to the recent death, IPs keep adding unsourced or poorly sourced in the article. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 16:17, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I personally disagree with the reasoning, as only a few IPs have made edits, and it's not the direct page of the artist who died, so i recommend denial LordEnma8 (talk) 17:01, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 22:15, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. Persistent addition of unsourced content by IPs ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:40, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There are a lot of disruptive or low quality edits to this article by IPs and new accounts. Steven Walling • talk 22:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lampung people

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Disruptive IP socking by sockmaster User:Dedy Tisna Amijaya, adding poorly sourced content + manipulation of sourced content. An alternative might be a range block (around 182.3.100.0/22). Austronesier (talk) 20:49, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2022 FIFA World Cup Group articles

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Dispute over verified match numbers. Jalen Folf (talk) 01:18, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: JalenFolf, I'm not sure if I told this to you, specifically, so here it is: protection requests for Cups and Leagues usually are the most challenging to appear here. So, if you wish for myself, at least, to review these rather than just skip, you'll need to be much more detailed (i.e. diffs, summaries, etc.). Now, this is not required, of course, but I suspect that many admins on this board are of a similar mindset, so FYI FWIW HTH acronym acronym. Thanks. El_C 06:58, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It seems to have calmed down today, but feel free to ping again if things change. Steven Walling • talk 20:18, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Zimmer

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP editors think he is dead and I cannot revert all their edits. They cannot provide a good source but they insist to do such edits. Timothytyy (talk) 12:51, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The death seems to all over the press. Is protection still needed? -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 14:21, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Declined There have been helpful IP edits and death seems confirmed now. Steven Walling • talk 20:19, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Signing Time!

Temporary pending changes: I don't know if I'm jumping the gun (the amount of total editing is too low for traditional semi-protection and I'm not super familiar with requesting pending changes protection so I don't know if this meets the "regularly, but otherwise receives a low amount of editing" guidance laid out on the policy page), but after this April when information about an individual in the page was adjusted to be in line with MOS:GENDERID, this page has seen a persistent string of largely IP editors showing up every few weeks to remove the name/pronoun changes, such that those edits and the accompanying reverts back to GENDERID compliance are probably 80-90% of the recent edits to that article, and I feel like I'm the only person watching it closely enough to catch and revert those edits (this may not be true and simply may just be a feeling because so far I've been the single person making those kinds of reverts). - Purplewowies (talk) 21:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. We can extend it after a month if still needed, but let's start there. @Purplewowies: If you take a look at protection policy, you can see that you are correct that pending changes is appropriate for infrequently edited pages subject to vandalism and disruptive editing. I'd suggest you request pending changes reviewer rights if you don't have them already. Steven Walling • talk 00:08, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Sockpuppetry. Persistent sockpuppetry, indef cause this has been repeated and usually resumes shortly after previous protection expires ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 23:11, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. We can increase the length in the future, but jumping to indefinite right now is overkill. Steven Walling • talk 23:21, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP vandalism and unproductive edits. QueenofBithynia (talk) 18:28, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Only two edits needed to be reverted, extended protection seems not justified. Steven Walling • talk 22:53, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent vandalism by IPs, immediately resumed after protection expired. The Banner talk 20:07, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 03:27, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Brandt

Reason: This article about a German musician was indefinitely protected about 36 hours after its creation in 2019, despite having zero disruptive edits before then — aside from the creator's edits, the only edits have been someone tagging it as a draft, and someone moving it from userspace. It's still protected now, even though the eleven edits since protection have all been fine. The original protecting admin, WJBscribe, is no longer active, and the most recent protection log entry should be ignored because it was a 1-second protection meant to leave a note in the log. I don't understand what's happened here, but it definitely doesn't look like something that currently needs protection. 175.39.61.121 (talk) 19:29, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This will not be unprotected barring a community discussion lifting it; see here. (Nota Bene: For some reason the permalink is also transcluding live sections of this page as well; the relevant section is the closed one underneath this transcluded request.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 19:42, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@175.39.61.121. There is an extremely problematic history concerning a person of the same name meaning this is a page at high risk of disruption from that. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:16, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not done I concur with the opinions expressed above. In my view the situation is unchanged since the last request in 2019. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 00:23, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. TheWikiholic (talk) 01:31, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. TheWikiholic, that page has never been protected before, so it is not a candidate even for long term protection, not to mention indef. First time long term or indef protections are usually applied only for the most egregious of cases, such as severe WP:BLP vios, WP:ACDS / WP:GS pages, WP:CHILDPROTECT, and so on.

Negar Mortazavi

Reason: Persistent poorly-sourced, disparaging edits ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]) related to the living subject (such as labeling her an "apologist" for the Iranian government and claiming that she orchestrated "fake" threats against herself); part of the Mahsa Amini protests and civil unrest in Iran. (The revision dated 17:06, 1 November 2022 by C.Fred is the last stable version.) TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 04:35, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Brianna Wu

Is her deadname listed here somewhere, because when I look up her deadname it pops up.

I don’t know too much about how Google’s web indexing works, but I know that Wikipedia is usually the first result and her deadname pops up. If I look up the deadnames of other similar people, Google does not serve me their Wikipedia article.

Does someone have connections with Google, and is it possible to remove the deadname from bringing up her article? Alohaidled (talk) 16:50, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you do a quick Ctrl + F for her deadname and see if it appears anywhere within the article? If it doesn't, we can't help you. I don't know her deadname myself. RteeeeKed💬📖 21:42, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If Google keeps bringing up her deadname, then it's on Google's end due to their caching of search results and Knowledge Panel content. (If it's from the Knowledge Panel, that does not cull exclusively from Wikipedia and odds are that's coming from some other source, maybe IMDb?) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 21:52, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC

Reason: Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC was template-protected automatically by a bot despite having only 4 times as many transclusions as the merely semi-protected Wikipedia:Featured article criteria (6647 vs. 1645) and template protection being a much stronger form of protection than semi-protection. This relatively low ratio means the template protection on Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC is likely unwarranted, and may be reduced to extended confirmed protection or semi-protection. 123957a (talk) 14:59, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected - There's consensus to permanently semiprotect pages with at least around 200–250 transclusions, permanently extended-confirmed protect pages with roughly 2500 to 5000 transclusions, and permanently template protect pages with anything above that.

2022 FIFA World Cup squads

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Misleading paragraphs/lines are often added in the article by some users. There is apparently subtle signs of sock puppetry here and there, too. Skydream1721 (talk) 22:33, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Skydream1721, I skipped this because I couldn't tell what was happening. Such is the case with nearly all requests for Cups and Leagues pages. Consider adding a few recent diffs as samples with more precise explanation of what exactly is going on. El_C 15:33, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Between UTC+-0 22:26 and 22:34 of 3 November 2022 there were attempts of flooding empty templates to the teams without released squads. 17:22 on 3 November there was also an user including an unofficial squad "based on leaked information" to the Belgium NT (third time it happened). On 04:41 of 3 November, there was another empty template added that was later reverted. On 30 October 2022, there was the first attempt of including the unofficial Belgium NT squad. On 2 November at 18:13, there was the second time the Belgium NT fake squad was included. On 19:56 of 22 October there was a second attempt of vandalism towards Cameroon's coaching staff. On 19:17 of the same day there was the first. On 00:37 of 22 October there was a unofficial Argentina squad list wrongly added by me, as i mistakenly thought it was official. On 20:41 of 21 October there was another attempt of releasing an unofficial squad for the Argentina NT. On 15:30 of 7 October 2022, there was a vandalism attempt on Morocco NT. And so on. Probably there was more, but i think it's enough to back-up my claim ~~ Skydream1721 (talk) 16:14, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Skydream1721, unless there's disruption that happened within the last few days, it's probably not eligible for protection. Once we get to weeks, it starts to become Stale. If you have anything more recent, I'll have a look, but please also link to the diffs that correspond to your summaries rather than only posting dates. Thanks.

Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Skydream1721: look at the revision history of this page and compare it to the revision histories of any random pages listed on this board, and you'll see the challenges we, as admins, face with Cups and Leagues requests. And if you go to the revision history of this board and ctrl.F Cup or League, you'll see that they're pretty much all like that. Which is to say, virtually impenetrable to an outside reviewer. For some reason, editors who revert disruption on these pages, hardly ever use the WP:UNDO feature and/or edit summaries explaining what's what. Keep in mind, most admins who attend to this board will not spend 30 min on a single request, especially, seeing as the given requestor could usually explain the what's what in a fraction of the time. El_C 20:37, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I understand it. It's a lot of work. It wasn't my intention to look "angry" or anything. I just tried to state that the disruptions were made both in previous weeks and the current week. Sorry if i made you think that, as i still struggle with kind delivery of expressions and viewpoints in formal language. Please don't take anything i said harshly. Thanks for your contributions!!! ~~ Skydream1721 (talk) 20:46, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, not at all, but thank you. It's just such a common occurrence here, I've stated and re-stated that same thing, like, a million times to, like, a million users. Nothing really to do with you, specifically. See for example my similar note from Nov 1 to the request for 2022 FIFA World Cup Group A and 2022 FIFA World Cup Group B (that this request is also FIFA is somewhat happenstance), then multiply it by, like, a million.

Anat

Reason: Disruptive anonymous editing: after a few months of peace and constructive development of the article, an anonymous user is back to persistently changing the image with no real explanation and still refuses to use the talk page, instead making pointless disruptive edits to the article to leave messages for other editors in summaries. This problem resulted in the need for the article to be protected a few times already in the past. HaniwaEnthusiast (talk) 07:29, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question: HaniwaEnthusiast, where is the talk page discussion about the image? I was unable to immediately locate it. El_C 15:05, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is none. The talk page comment refers to a general pattern of behavior present in the history of the article. An anomymous user or user(s) performed various acts of disruptive editing or vandalism in the past, which got the article locked multiple times, and refused to engage on the talk page, instead leaving messages in edit summaries. This is what I am referring to. Not a nonexistent discussion about the image specifically. I have created a section on the talk page highlighting the lack of merit of the new image now, though, so that further users with familarity with the subject matter can add their opinions.

Che Guevara

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected project page at Che Guevara - Wikipedia, footnote .[180] where the following is stated: [Source: </ref> While expounding on the incident later, Guevara reiterated that the cause of socialist liberation against global "imperialist aggression" would ultimately have been worth the possibility of "millions of atomic war victims".Guevara 1997 “While expounding on the incident later, Guevara reiterated that the cause of socialist liberation against global "imperialist aggression" would ultimately have been worth the possibility of "millions of atomic war victims".[180] The missile crisis further convinced Guevara that the world's two superpowers (the United States and the Soviet Union) used Cuba as a pawn in their own global strategies.” As it stands, the above paragraph implies that it would be worth for Cuba to use atomic weapons to further socialist liberation. Instead, the actual text to which footnote 180 refers reads: “Will imperialism continue to lose one position after another or will it, in its bestiality and as it threatened not long ago, launch a nuclear attack and burn the entire world in an atomic holocaust? We cannot say. We do assert, however, that we must follow the road of liberation even though it may cost millions of atomic war victims. In the struggle to death between two systems we cannot think of anything but the final victory of socialism or its relapse as a consequence of the nuclear victory of imperialist aggression.” The correct meaning of Che Guevara’s words then is that despite an eventual use of nuclear weapons “by imperialist aggression” Cuba must keep following “the road of liberation” even if such aggression may cause “millions of atomic war victims.” Cuban victims, obviously.

Template:Breakafterimages

Reason: This is a redirect to Template:Clear, one of the most-used templates on Wikipedia. While this redirect to it is not quite as widely used, it still has 271 transclusions at the time of writing. Given that the current consensus is to semi-protect templates with at least 200 transclusions, I believe that this redirect should be given at least that level of protection. Partofthemachine (talk) 22:11, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Partofthemachine, are you sure you're in the right place? This is Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Increase (emphasis on 'increase'), but that template has been protected at admin level since 2015. There's literally no way to increase its protection further. It's already at the max (which is probably overkill). El_C 22:47, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cuban Revolution

Reason: There is frequent outright vandalism on the page or additions of unsourced information. The page is a collection of sourced history that is often disrupted by users adding "joke" edits at the worst, or just adding unsourced oversimplifications of the Cuban Revolution.

To give a stereotypical example... the page will give sourced details about the long history about what political opposition groups were involved in the Cuban Revolution. Then an editor will come in and without citing any sources write an over-simplistic "the communists did it" and add it to the page. It is getting tiring to constantly have to amend these unsourced edits. It's constantly taking long and complex history and boiling it down, often incredibly inaccurately. Please add some security so editors can spend more time adding sourced information rather than editing other editors unsourced personal thoughts.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This page has previously been protected for consistent additions of an uncited, borderline defamatory remark about the subject "hating British people". There's been constant attempts by the same user under various IPs to re-add this every month since the article got unprotected. I note that this is only a monthly thing so it may not seem significant enough to protect, but this has been ongoing for nearly a year at this stage and shows no signs of stopping. ser!

I know, but not @Portal:Current events/Sports/Sidebar, which having shutdown for 4 days, would have left this other target still open to these sock/s. El_C 21:48, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I fear that we're getting uncomfortably close to pre-emptive protections here. To be fair, given that the page is effectively only transcluding other pages, there's not much benefit to unprotecting it these few days. Sdrqaz (talk) 22:12, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't fear that. As I'm trying to explain to you, the same sock that's been disrupting /Sidebar for a while including today, also moved on to this page, today (diff). Anyway, it's 4 days, so I don't really care. Just overlapping the protections in a 1–2 staccato. Which isn't unusual to my MO, so if you still have concerns, maybe consider wider discussion...? El_C 22:32, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not going make a fuss (or at least more than I already have done ) because, as I said above, it's only transcluding other pages. Sdrqaz (talk) 22:35, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, I mean, it doesn't have to be a fuss to have a serious policy discussion about what I did as an example, I wouldn't see it like that. I don't care about it, specifically, because they're brief protections, but if you think the issue of 'overlapping' them like that is worth raising at WT:PP or wherever, I'm open-minded to it.
I'm nearing looked: just passed 10K protections, so if the conclusion in such a discussion is that I (especially) and others need to adjust on that, that's neither a hindrance nor a slight. I don't want you to feel discouraged from doing that just because this (minor example) happens to be the impetus. Though, honestly, mostly I just make a judgment call at the moment wrt risk; it's not something fixed or rigid.
As for transclusion and what not, if you want to adjust one of my protections, in general, just do it. You don't need to ask for permission. I don't ask for permission, but I do ask for forgiveness if need be, which has been working out okay for me. Best Regards, El_C 22:50, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Edit warring by an IP, who is now up to three reverts (if they have breached 3RR by the time this report is actioned, please block them and undo the edit.

Question: Number 57, ordinarily, I'd just close this it {{subst:RFPP|iav}} or maybe {{subst:RFPP|an3}}, but seeing as it's you (an admin), I'll ask the following. Has the user been warned about the existence of WP:3RR by way of {{uw-3rr}}, etc., in some past IP incarnation? Because their talk page is a red link atm. Is there a straight up misinformation happening? I don't understand. El_C 20:32, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, editing from a few different IPs in the last couple of weeks — sorry, I missed that. Well, that answers at least part of my question. El_C 20:34, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In my experience, templating IPs doesn't work (I don't even know IPs get notification that they have talk page messages), hence not doing so. However, they're clearly reading the edit summaries, yet continued to revert. Cheers, Number 57 20:36, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, but you're expected to at least give them a chance to know about it in enough detail by way of {{uw-3rr}}, etc. That's really the prevailing practice, which I recommend you adopt, as futile as it may seem. There's worse things than being an optimist against all odds, especially when it only take the 10 second to copy/paste {{subst:uw-3rr}}. El_C 20:45, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I have no opinion about which choice is better. With due respect, this is a bed of several pagewatchers' own making. I would hope experienced users who've been seeing these edit wars "since at least August" might have created a talk page discussion, per WP:BRD, so that merely parroting "did not"/"did too" didn't become a thing.

For the record, I object to this request wholeheartedly. I am not a counterpart or coeditor for anyone. My disclosures are clear, and present on User:Foxtrot620, and I am not editing on anyone's behalf or bequest. Adding a speedy deletion nomination, which was removed without cause or explanation does not constitute vandalism, let alone persistent vandalism.

Not done. Deleted the page instead. Materialscientist (talk) 00:26, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Materialscientist, thanks a lot for helping here. But I humbly appeal you undelete this page after getting to know the true scenario which I'll explain shortly.
Take a close look at the history of the page. You'll discover it has been a subject of attack for years. I found this out when I checked the page history. I wasn't the page creator. I only noticed the vandalism and decided to assist.
This Hrstcms had vandalized the page severally and also tagged it for speedy deletion severally but it kept getting declined by admins.
Yesterday, November 7, I tried adding 3 new WP:RS to boost WP:Notability on the page and fix the notability tag placed by Hrstcms. Shortly after that, this Hrstcms reverted all edits and went ahead to clear almost every content on the page leaving it nearly blank. I tried warning him on his talk page, but he insisted on messing up the page. I filed a vandalism report against him and he got blocked by the admin Favonian who also reverted his changes and declined the speedy deletion.
Within a space of few minutes, this Foxtrot620 followed the same trend. He had an older account with lots of edits. He returned the same notability tag and tagged the page for speedy deletion. He had earlier made the same bad faith edit and it got reverted. I didn't want to engage in an edit war with him nor revert his changes since an admin had already settled the issue. I tried talking to him on his talk page but he didn't agree. I also tried contacting the admin Favonian who that handled the issue before now. But it seems he was offline at the time.
I reported the account for vandalism and also appealed for page protection. But sadly, you got the page deleted without checking the history of what transpired.
I believe the page ought not to be deleted because it was a clear case of an attack on the subject matter. The attack on the page has been there for quite some time.
Deleting the page simply means the vandal had his way at the end.
Kindly review the page history to discover the true scenario. I appeal you undelete the page if you find reasons to do so from the inquiries.
Thanks Padibso (talk) 05:35, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Disagree. The editor who has been repeatedly removing factual information from the article without consensus is a registered user, not an IP, so full protection is needed and the article needs to be reverted to the last stable version (Oct 7, as this has been going on for a month with multiple editors involved). Using semi-protection would be favouring one individual in this edit war over others solely because he's been registered for longer - even though his edits are not constructive. 66.102.87.40 (talk) 05:48, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. IP/s, that's not how it works.

So could you please add a indefinite semi-protection of this page. If you look at the page history more as 80% of the edits is vandelism of IP's and reverts. 🤾‍♂️ Malo95 (talk) 13:52, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We have attempted to engage the COI contributor on the talk page, have developed a consensus that they repeatedly disregard.

If you'd like to report them for other conduct issues, take it to WP:AN/I. DatGuyTalkContribs 14:19, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason This page has been on attack since two years now. Many IP addresses, including many named users continue to push their POV and change his birth place to some other place, contrary to what has been agreed on the talk page as a result of Consensus reached. This page has been protected once, twice and thrice for this ongoing disruption. One user has even been blocked from editing this page further. In my opinion, this article needs to be extended protected indefinitely to avoid vandalism and wasting people's time. I hope an Admin will act on this. zoglophie 06:20, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotection: These templates were created in a semi protected userspace page of Lieutenant of Melkor and then moved to template namespace. When they were moved, the protection settings got moved as well. These templates do not have a history of disruption, have less than 5 transclusions and do not qualify for semi protection.

Atsme, the appropriate response to a blank-and-redirect being contested is to discuss with the editor, and take it to AfD if necessary.

The total content: Maria Ludwika Rzewuska (Ludwika Maria Róża Rzewuska[1]) (1744–1816) was a Polish noble lady. She was the youngest daughter of Wacław Rzewuski and Anna Lubomirska.[1] On 1 January 1766, she married Jan Mikołaj Chodkiewicz in Podhorce (Pidhirtsi). Please let another admin review this if you're not understanding why the redirect needs to be protected. Atsme 💬 📧 22:30, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Right, it's bare bones. I think the question is whether you tried communicating this to that editor. They're not WP:XC yet, so WP:ECP would technically work, but that's not usually done on account of a single editor, even for redirects. We don't usually protect over problems from one, or even two, editors. We mostly block in those instances. If they user/s has been sufficiently warned first, though, of course. El_C 22:40, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As I wrote above, that's what the deletion policy says. You're a highly-experienced reviewer and would know that we're obliged to follow community consensus, regardless of whether we like it.

Semi-protected indefinitely. I've just gone ahead. This, I believe is the relevant slice of the the story.

I would say "no". The edit filter log shows numerous attempts this year to add large swaths of promotional content (along with some good content). Therefore, semi-protection is working exactly as it should be working. Furthermore, the requesting IP address is from the same IP address range as the disruptive IP address, which has been blocked repeatedly in the past for actions on that article (see User talk:108.48.147.41), which was also blocked by Cullen323, the protecting administrator. This request to unprotect seems like an admin-shopping effort to resume past disruption. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:22, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just because I'm in the same IP Range, doesn't mean I'm the same person. In fact, I'm not. I'm not even sure why I'm in the same range as them, or what a IP Address Range even is. Pure cooincidence I guess. Anyways, I just wanna make sure the page gets updated to reflect current inforamtion. I think the reason it hasn't by people that have accounts is because not too many people know of the park, and out of the people that do, none of them have any desire to look at these pages, and or fix them if they're outdated. Hence why I think it should be unprotected, so anybody can edit it. 108.56.217.110 (talk) 06:44, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:48, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your consideration on this matter. While I respoect your decision, can you please elaborate a bit on why the page can't be unprotected? I'm a bit confused based on the fact that in the above, you stated that this article currently lacks "some good content". I'd also like to point out that if you look at the article's talk page between editor 108.48.147.41 and users with accounts, it seems fairly evident me that most of, if not all of the users involved in the edit war that cause the page to be protected in the first place, admitted they knew very little to nothing about the park prior to reading the article. My point is, and I mean this with no disrespect intended, how do you expect people that no very minimal to nothing about a given subject, to be able to edit the page to include up to date information on the subject? I don't see any logical rationale to that. Hence why I think it should've been unprotected. I'm not trying to argue or cause problems here, I'm just trying to understand the situation better, so I applogize if this came off the wrong way. Thanks again for your consideration. 108.56.217.110 (talk) 07:22, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Two disruptive IPs in four days is not a high enough level of disruption, coupled with the fact that the burden of protecting a talk page is a lot higher than for an article. There are also over 3,000 page watchers, so any disruption will be reverted quickly enough. Sdrqaz (talk) 16:34, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: I do not see any constructive IP/new user edits in 2021 and 2022 (did not look earlier); most of them come to the article to switch the Russian name Alexander to Ukrainian Oleksandr and back.

Garbage patch

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Per Talk:North_Atlantic_garbage_patch#Confusion_with_Great_Britain, there's a screenshot of some joke vandalism doing the rounds, and when some people see that it's no longer live on Wikipedia they try to add it back. North Atlantic garbage patch is protected for that reason, but this article isn't, and has been getting some of the vandalism this month. Belbury (talk) 18:26, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Two IPs this month (on 7/8th and 14th). Before that, it's over a year before you can find vandalism in the edit history. Maybe a candidate for pending changes protection if it proves to be a persistent issue, but right now the frequency is not near to the threshold for semi-protection.

Ipotane

Reason: For a few days now a user has been making various edits to this article about a minor mythological creature, most of which concern establishing that it is a sort of reverse-centaur, although the sources actually are a bit vague and contradictory about what it looks like. After being blocked from editing, the editor keeps making sockpuppet accounts, focusing on replacing an old public domain illustration that he doesn't like with various depictions of his own—possibly computer-generated. Some are whimsical, others clearly inappropriate, but either way the editor is ignoring everything that's been said about this, and keeps making the changes and additions against consensus and the talk page discussion. Due to the sockpuppetry, temporary page protection may be the only way to stop—or slow down—the edits in question. P Aculeius (talk) 05:30, 18 November 2022 (UTC)\[reply]

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing – Several IPs have been re-adding a genre to the infobox almost daily since 7 November, although the source they use does not support it. In edit summaries and on their talk pages, they have been repeatedly advised of the problem and requested to discuss it on the talk page (started there 12 November). However, they have not attempted to communicate nor explain in edit summaries. Attempts to change or add unsourced genres go back to a least 2016 and include a IP who was blocked 7 November (when this latest round began) for "unsourced or unhelpful edits".[63] Ojorojo (talk) 15:37, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: High level of IP vandalization starting in early July and continuing until now, mostly content removals, especially on Flow (brand) and LIME (telecommunications company), but also several related pages. It looks like there may be one or two people across many IP addresses: 96.43.179.70 and 96.43.179.71 plus the IP ranges 96.43.175.0/24 and 96.43.180.0/24. Numerous warnings, temporary blocks, etc. for vandalism and disruptive editing on User_talk:96.43.179.70, User_talk:96.43.179.71, User_talk:96.43.180.218, and User_talk:96.43.175.22.

This page is indefinitely semi-protected due to persistent biographical violations and was recently XCP'd due to autocon-buster sockpuppets, since reduced back down to semi-protection.

Battle of Benadir

Reason: Indefinite Extended confirmed protection. Vandalism has persisted despite multiple bans and "extended confirmed" protections being applied throughout no less than four years. The replacement of the same sourced material by the same sentences in poor English always continues whenever protections are removed, no matter how many users or sockpuppets are banned. Wareno (talk) 23:19, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Wareno, all those named accounts are non-confirmed, so WP:ECP is not yet needed. Relist if that changes. Thanks. El_C 23:24, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the quick response, but that page has been protected by an administrator with higher-level locks for longer periods of time and the same bizarre vandalism always continues when they wear off, sometimes while they're active. You can check the history. I was hoping to lay the issue to rest and that helps little. Wareno (talk) 23:38, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

John Laurens

Reason: Persistent vandalism: the vast majority of the edits over at least the past six months have involved (mostly) IP editors attempting to assert that Laurens' spouse was Alexander Hamilton, which has no basis in reliable sources. Some reliable sources have discussed the topic of Laurens' sexuality, but this is already covered with due weight in the article. The recent edits are purely, intentionally disruptive and do not contribute constructively to that coverage. PlanetJuice (talk • contribs) 00:43, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will add as a note that the dispute over how Laurens' sexuality should be covered has been discussed extensively on the talk page. Protection has also been applied several times but most recently expired in March 2022, at which point the vandalism continued. PlanetJuice (talk • contribs) 00:46, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mormons

Reason: Requesting indefinite semi-protection. Since the expiration of the last year of semi-protection it's been a constant string of unhelpful drive-by edits and reverts/rollbacks. ~Awilley (talk) 20:45, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected indefinitely. After reviewing the article history and logs, it is pretty clear most of the vandalism and disruptive editing is from IP address editors and it returns quickly once page protection expires. The page has previously been protected for one year twice, for 6 months once, etc. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:52, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Scrotum

Reason: This article should be semi-protected rather than just pending changes becuase it is an article about an intimate part, and, as expected with these "controversial" articles, 90% of edits by IPs/new users seem to be WP:VD and other forms of WP:DE. I checked the history for this page and it appears that a vast majority of IPs who edited this page vandalized it. AKK700 18:14, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of until 2024, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Can probably get rid of this a lot earlier than that, but given the IP is checking the edit history, this should be a good deterrent. It looks like they might graduate in 2024, according to the year they keep adding alongside the names. Anarchyte (talk) 11:22, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Roach

Reason: Michael Roach is a controversial American Buddhist teacher who rose to the national attention in 2012 after one of his students died from dehydration while meditating at a retreat in the Arizona desert. Articles in the NYT, Playboy, Rolling Stone as well as at least one investigative book have been written about sexual misconduct in his religious community and the office of the Dalai Lama has admonished him several times. However, his Wiki entry is constantly being updated by unsigned editors who erase his most public history and instead promote Roach's own views of the incidents while deleting or minimizing credible sources. I recently reverted the article to a version from six months ago--and the entry needs quite a bit of TLC to make a balanced representation (because some of what he has done is actually quite good), but Wikipedia is not a platform for self-promotion.

Talk:2022

Reason: There aren't any IPs that edit this talk page. Plus if the page is unprotected, then there is a chance that most IP contributors will make edit requests in order for them to be accepted. One of the administrators protected this page just for having not-so-good and non-constructive comments on this talk page, but there are only few IPs. Other anon users are here to discuss about whenever this event should be added to this page. So this is necessary for this talk page to be unprotected. Thank you! -- 2601:205:C001:EA0:DD9D:F980:1B2C:6117 (talk) 21:38, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined for now. The page was only recently protected, and its protection is set to expire in a couple of weeks. Pinging @Deb: the protecting admin, who may have a change of mind. In the meantime, there is a section on WP:RFPP where you can make edit requests, but if you do, explain that you're making the request there instead of the talk page because it's protected. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:57, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Requests for page protection#Current requests for edits to a protected page. Explain that you cannot make the request on the article talk page due to protection, and state your request in the form "change X to Y" or "add X after Y" or "remove X".

Talk:15.ai

Reason: This talkpage was originally protected nearly three months ago, because for one or two days, people basically just used it to say hi to each other.

It's been almost three months, and I wanna point out on the talkpage that the legal decision of Authors Guild, Inc. v. Google, Inc. is entirely misrepresented in the article. 2003:EF:170A:9257:8842:480E:E1C3:418A (talk) 01:40, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like this talk page has constantly needed to be protected, with the last prot being for two months (July-Sept. 2022). I'd recommend putting in a request at /Edit instead or in addition to this request - at worst this will be accepted and the /Edit request rendered moot or this is declined and the /Edit request can be looked into. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 04:22, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
An IP from the same range made a similar request at my talk page, and my reply was similar to the above. Favonian (talk) 06:40, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Declined. Repeated need to reprotect in the past does not imply a need to unprotect now as the requester suggests. We'll see what happens when the current protection expires. Edit requests can be made at RFPP for these situations. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:06, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with the above, but I have to say, on the merits of the request the ip does have a point. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 05:34, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you're referring to the proposed edit reqest, you're correct. However, the request needs to be made properly, like "Change X to Y" with sources backing it up. As given above, the edit request is not actionable. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:46, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Page protection isn't the first line of defense. Discussion also isn't necessarily required to make an edit. If the issue is verifiability, ask the IP address editors to provide sources, encourage IP address editors to register an account, give appropriate feedback, add a citation needed tag, etc. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:02, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @K.e.coffman: Thanks for proposing this.

List of Hungarian Nobel laureates

Reason: My previous request on 8 October 2022: Persistent disruptive editing and addition of unsourced and poorly sourced content by IPs. The page needs permanent protection as these issues have existed for more than a year now, starting with this edit on 6 September 2021. Since then, edits have become a vicious circle of IP users adding dubious claims, more experienced users removing or correcting those claims, and so on. As the timespan shows, temporary protection is unlikely to solve the problems. After this, the page was given semi-protection for a period of one month, during which the quality of the article was significantly improved. Since the protection expired, there have been 20 edits made by IP users, with no sign of any improvement. Well-sourced entries have been removed without any prior discussion on the talk page, and reasonably deleted parts have been readded with no regard to actual facts. I hope that this time a good decision will be made, and the problem will be finally solved once and for all. – Zsovar3 (talk) 11:58, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. You haven't edited the article in over a month. If these two IPs are making such horrible edits, why should they not continue to do so if no one reverts or warns them? Daniel Case (talk) 05:50, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – There is a persistent editor (usually an ip, sometimes with an account) that is focused on this article and Carl von Bismarck, reverting any edits they disagree with. I have come into contact with this individual when I changed the infobox image from two people to one, on each page. The editor didn't like this and made various accusations in edit summaries and on my talk page (eg, stalking and editing false information). The only way I see of stopping this individual is to stop them from editing the articles of their obsession. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 17:16, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oldham Athletic A.F.C.

Reason: I feel incredibly protective of this page, and it is infuriating that the same, persistent disruption is still being carried out, despite a recent increase in protection. The latest incident happened a) today, which is a repeat of the same previous behaviour. And b) it is seemingly the same user, who for some reason is incapable of understanding basic English. PeachyBum07 (talk) 23:23, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. The current PC protection looks exactly right. The disruption is not frequent enough to require semi-protection. MelanieN (talk) 00:44, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of Nazi monuments in Canada

Reason: I started the page) User:Slava_Ukraini_Heroyam_Slava_123 was making moves against consensus, so the page was protected from moves by non-administrators. That editor is now banned. There is a conversation happening at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Nazi monuments in Canada and at Talk:List of Nazi monuments in Canada about a potential rename. There is a reasonable chance that a rename might be needed and there now a much lower change of a page move without consensus, I think. CT55555(talk) 17:37, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected. I don't see a consensus for moving emerging on either the AFD or the article talk page. In fact, the article could even be deleted. In any case, when a consensus does emerge, an administrator can always perform the move. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:28, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think a consensus to move is on the cards (even though I argued to keep it as it is) but I thought the banning of the only editor who caused the problem would be sufficient ground to revert thing back to normal. But if you don't agree, I don't have a strong feeling about it. All the best. CT55555(talk) 22:30, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The last time it was created was a year ago. It seems like they've resorted to asking an administrator instead of trying to create it themself. Sdrqaz (talk) 23:08, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strange World (film)

Semi-protected edit request on 30 November 2022 Change "on an planet made of ocean" to "on a planet made of ocean". In the last sentence of the plot summary section. Will468 (talk) 21:56, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Done – Thanks, Will468! Favonian (talk) 22:13, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also in the last sentence, I think "has improved as the film ends with the giant creature which is actually a turtle on a planet made of ocean." should be split into "has improved. The film ends with the giant creature which is actually a turtle on a planet made of ocean." It feels smoother and makes the sentence less of a run on sentence.
