Circle (TV network)

Reason: Various IP vandalism as service changes to a streaming service only. Adding guide times and listing as ending when it is converting to a new format. Request one week semi-protect. Msw1002 (talk) 21:47, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 23:58, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tua Tagovailoa

Reason: Disruptive edits from IP's HappyBoi3892 (talk) 22:08, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:28, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I added a CTOPS notice to the talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 23:59, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2020s

Reason: We need semi-protection - IPs & Mobile editors (possibly the same individual) keep re-instating an image collage, into the page, despite a consensus (reached at the talkpage) to delete the image collage. GoodDay (talk) 22:26, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:49, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Former PBS Kids original programming

Reason: Persistent vandalism. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 18:59, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Can you point us at several recent edits and explain why they are vandalism? Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:51, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 00:05, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mbongeni Ngema

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent block evasion. Blue Barette Bam's disruption happening again. – 64andtim (talk) 00:50, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Already protected by administrator ScottishFinnishRadish. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:27, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Guru Ravidass Jayanti

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – LTA from 93* IP. Religious POV pushing which spans across numerous Ravidas related pages. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 01:47, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 02:38, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mary de Bohun

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Kansas Bear (talk) 04:09, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:48, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Delhi

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism, right after unprotection. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 04:16, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Two edits a day after it was unprotected is not enough to conclude we need to indefinitely protect the article. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:56, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nadezhda Durova

Reason: High level of IP vandalism from new accounts, and new accounts changing pronouns before a consensus has been reached as to pronouns (see Talk:Nadezhda Durova). Page should be protected, and all pronoun edits reversed, until a consensus is reached, and the dispute settled. Obversa (talk) 04:22, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:04, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of ongoing armed conflicts

With the main map (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts#/media/File:Ongoing_conflicts_around_the_world.svg) many of the countries are out of date. Most notably, Russia, which has lost many tens of thousands of troops to the War in Ukraine in 2023. 2A00:23C7:6997:C001:41E9:3B13:D88F:AF1A (talk) 00:47, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While this user is partially blocked, I will address this for any similar future inquiries. This is not a mistake. The file's description states "Only the locations where the conflicts are taking place, not the warring parties, are coloured. For example, for the war in Afghanistan only Afghanistan itself is coloured." As a combatant Russia has suffered tens of thousands in casualties, however, the bulk of these deaths happened on Ukrainian territory. Deaths on Russian territory, primarily due to Ukrainian counterstrikes, number in the hundreds as of now. The U.S. suffered thousands of casualties in the war in Afghanistan, yet during its participation in that conflict the country was never colored red (because those deaths were on foreign soil). Clyde H. Mapping (talk) 15:23, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not done – per Clyde's analysis. Favonian (talk) 16:01, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Blanked IP talk

Full protection: 12% of pages. HouseBlastertalk 04:07, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. The page is template protected and hasn't been edited in over a year. Template protection limits editing to just template editors and administrators. (If another administrator believes full protection makes sense here, please feel free to proceed.) Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:46, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Quinlan: I realize it is template protected, but this template has more transclusions than {{template link}} (aka {{tl}}), {{cite web}}, and all of the different {{mbox}}s. It is (imho) a textbook WP:HRT. HouseBlastertalk 07:11, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of American films of 2012

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – A KikoRiki vandal is at it again trying to add Team Invincible to the list. That's not even American and we already established that a year ago. FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 05:29, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 11:50, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Veerappan

Indefinite semi-protection: Was protected before, however IP vandalism continues. SKAG123 (talk) 05:35, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, stoopid wise and handsome bot, that's what I had done and noted already. DMacks (talk) 09:26, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Female urination device

Reason: Please long-term SEMI. Long-term disruption by one-off IPs. The most recent non-insta-undone IP or new-account edit was in May. Prior to April, the preceding non-insta-reverted such was in May 2022. DMacks (talk) 08:40, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. No prior protection, although anyone may see lots of prior incidents. I'll add this to my watchlist and if longer protection is necessary, please call on me. BusterD (talk) 11:46, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Miss Earth USA 2022

Reason: IP who may be a blocked editor introducing and reintroducing unsourced or unverified content [1][2]. Page may be covered under WP:GS/PAGEANT. ☆ Bri (talk) 06:16, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected indefinitely. Logging at WP:GS/PAGEANT. BusterD (talk) 11:53, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2023

Reason: Frequent erroneous edits to the lead by IPs and red linked users Loytra (talk) 06:34, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consider this request withdrawn; it is no longer 2023 anywhere in the world and as such there is no more contention over the lead. I guess page protection wasn't needed after all ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Loytra (talk) 12:06, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 12:10, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Laura Dern

Reason: In the last several weeks, there has been an IP user adding non-neutral material five separate times. The IP address keeps changing, so page protection might be beneficial. KyleJoantalk 12:46, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No violation has been made, the content was validated and supported by reliable sources and didn't use inappropriate or non-neutral tones.151.82.114.183 (talk) 12:55, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. Multiple editors have reverted this addition. Please seek consensus on the talkpage rather than edit-warring to force it into the article. The protection can be lifted early if a talkpage consensus is reached to include the disputed statements. -- Euryalus (talk) 13:35, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. DatGuyTalkContribs 15:31, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yohan poonawalla

Reason: Because users are trying to deleting this page for no reason and even everytime one common user requesting for deletion Yohan poonawalla's page yohan is an indian Business man and chairman of Poonawalla Group. Maybe The user is paid for deletion by someone else Djajay.lobo.143 (talk) 13:57, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. Geardona (talk) 14:09, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - comes in sprees and isn't only focused on this article. Handled in another way. DatGuyTalkContribs 15:31, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark

Reason: There is pretty much constant back and forth about with people putting him as king and then people moving him back to crown prince, with some occasional minor vandalism in there (probably because it's a highly viewed page). Maybe the page could stand to be protected until around Jan 14, when he's expected to assume the throne? EasyAsPai (talk) 17:27, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Bbb23 (talk) 17:39, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Already protected by administrator PhilKnight. Favonian (talk) 20:02, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of the 21st century

Reason: The same Filipino editor as many times before makes the whole page silly - surely "Philippine actors Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla confirms their break-up after 11-year relationship" is not a defining event of 2023. The page was protected several times, it should be protected indefinitely. Pinging Serendipodous who also reverted the same IP editor multiple times.

Khmer traditional clothing

Reason: Hi! The article is still being targeted by Thai nationalistic users, one particularly (GixxGle) has been very active, deleting contents and attempting to rename the article "Siamese influenced to Khmer traditional clothing" despite having received a warning on his user talk by another user. Could he be blocked from editing the article? Pierrevang3 (talk) 19:55, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

View source for January 6 United States Capitol attack

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because there is enough conflicting information to determine that this page is purely political interpretation. No one Attacked the United States Capital on January 6th. No one brought any weapons. 24.55.15.157 (talk) 01:31, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jordan Nobbs

Temporary extended confirmed protection: BLP policy violations – Please downgrade this to ECP; Black Kite said that the editors involved in those contentious edits were autoconfirmed. So why shouldn’t we downgrade this to ECP? Full protection should be a last resort. 26zhangi (talk) 23:43, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Black Kite, would you be OK with downgrading/lifting this protection? Things seem to have calmed down, and I'd be happy to watchlist it for a few months to make sure problems don't resume. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 02:26, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, sorry for the duplicate ping...edit conflict. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 02:27, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Have you asked Black Kite about this? – Muboshgu (talk) 02:23, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@26zhangi: Regardless of whether Black Kite consents to this request, I think that it's worth noting that the point of the protection was that the editors restoring the contentious material were also extended-confirmed. The protection level was therefore justified, though you could perhaps debate its length. Sdrqaz (talk) 02:54, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The last edit at article talk was on 5 November 2021 and that was to adjust the headers. I am inclined to decline this until there is some demonstration that the participants know what they are supposed to do. Johnuniq (talk) 02:04, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The only editors restoring the content were some overzealous recent-changes patrollers, and I suspect they've long since moved on. I don't think continued protection is going to do anything other than prevent unrelated helpful edits at this point (and as I said I'm happy to watchlist it to make sure), although it's certainly not a hill I'm going to die on if you disagree. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 08:06, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Black Kite: Fully protecting this article for a month seems really excessive. If extended confirmed users are violating WP:BLP or other policies, they should be warned (and ultimately blocked if necessary). And that doesn't even seem to be the case here. Looking at the history, it looks like there was poorly sourced contentious material that needed to be removed as per WP:BLP, an IP repeatedly removed it (which is exempted from 3RR), and everyone jumped on the IP editor for blanking content (culminating in a block) rather than looking at what they were removing. (Yes, sure, the IP editor should have gone to WP:BLPN, they should have used a good edit summary, etc. but let's temper our expectations.) Finally, right before the article was fully protected, another editor (correctly) re-removed the content. Basically, the article should just be unprotected at this point. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 08:40, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Protection removed, hopefully served its purpose. Black Kite (talk) 09:04, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2023 Israel–Hamas war

Add "the desecration of the Al Aqsa Mosque" to Hamas's justifications for the attack.

Potassium edit request for unprotection

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because the restriction to editing has been released since 2019, so that that's a long time to remain and I spotted that Hydrogen was not blocked but just one type of vandalism emerged after the shutdown of protection. 2001:EE0:4BC2:E9E0:5DB:6154:E8B8:7AD3 (talk) 02:02, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reading the edits surrounding the May 12, 2019 protection, IMHO this lengthy protection was needed and has largely proven effective. Nobody is preventing any editor from making specific edit requests on talk. I like to see compelling arguments that removing protection is now necessary or preferable. BusterD (talk) 03:44, 1 January 2024 (UTC) User:Materialscientist, do you have an opinion on this? BusterD (talk) 03:45, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some elements attract more disruption than others (only 27 of 117 element articles have page protection templates), but if you look specifically at composition of the human body, you'll see 11 out of the top 12 elements in the human body have articles that are semi-protected or pending changes protected. Potassium is on that list. That's not surprising given that alternative medicine and pseudoscience are contentious topics. Given the historical disruption of this article and so many related elements also being protected, I would recommend against removing protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 07:48, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad

Not an edit, but an important addition: The prophet Muhammad is the last prophet according to Quran : "Muḥammad is not the father of any of your men, but is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the prophets. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things." [33:40] Any Muslim who claims to be a prophet would be conisdered an apostate as he has rejected something fundamental from the religion, known by necessity, and stated explicitly in numerous verses of the Qur’ān and prophetic narrations which clarify the finality of Muhammad’s prophethood. Moreover, the prophet Muhammad prophesied that there would be false prophets in the future. Thawban reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The Hour will not be established until tribes from my nation join the idolaters and they worship idols. Verily, there will be thirty liars among my nation, all of them claiming to be a prophet, but I am the seal of the Prophets. There is no prophet after me.” Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2219, Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Tirmidhi. And so, all claims to prophethood after Muhammad in Islam are lies.

A request to protect this page was rejected earlier today as there were only content disputes on the page. It appears that certain editors are exhibiting behavior akin to page ownership.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. The vast majority of the people editing in that way are extended confirmed users and pages are not protected preemptively. Also note that 2023 was only semi-protected. If there's significant disruption from non-autoconfirmed users, we will consider semi-protection. If semi-protection proves ineffective, we can then evaluate whether ECP makes sense.

Pradhan (film)

Reason: One user with the username Sushilsanu is continuously doing disruptive editing in the box office collection of this film. As many times I have edited the approximate correct figures, this user has edited box office numbers by increasing the numbers almost 3 times the original collection. As per the reports of various media houses, various box office trackers in the Bengali Film Industry and also as per certain reliable pages on Twitter, Facebook and 3 to 4 reliable youtubers, till now the film has collected 4 - 5 crores till now. But this user is constantly writing 10 - 11 crores, which is absolutely fake. So, I request the administrators to edit the box office collection to 4 - 5 crores and either block this user [Sahilsanu] from editing for at least 2 weeks or provide semi protection to the page for 1 week.

Reason: Continued disruptive editing after the previous protection expired. The article will most likely only become more relevant and looked-at in the coming months as the primary for the 2024 North Carolina gubernatorial election approaches, as well as the main election.

Not done. I'm not seeing vandalism, I'm seeing people add rumors as if they were facts, ie: unsourced info.

Please note, that "vandalism" means edits specifically designed to undermine or deface the encyclopedia, not just ordinary "bad edits" that are unsourced or based on rumors.

Matt Ross (actor)

Reason: High level of disruptive edits from motivated, persistent IP user(s), chiefly 2601:205:4300* and 67.166.136.47. In the last five months, I alone have reverted 21 edits adding either unsourced or non-WP:RS birth date, birth place, and birth name, which is a high volume for a relatively low traffic article.

Scott Perry

Reason: The protection is now "outdated" as few congressmen have ECP. He's also not the most high-profile. Furthermore, the right side panel still implies he's the current chair of the Freedom Caucus, a title that now belongs to Bob Good. Iufrrreffrc (talk) 01:10, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: This article has become the focus of a mini-storm on Twitter. Last year I noticed the results did not match the source, so changed them to match it. Unfortunately due to the article being mentioned on Twitter, there have been numerous attempts to restore the version where the information does not match the source. Could it be fully protected for a period. Unfortunately I think several other articles may need protection too, including 1893 French legislative election, 1889 French legislative election etc...

Reason: Temporary full protection.

The disruptive editor is up to three reverts now (and resorting to claiming the reverts of reverts edits are vandalism) - if this isn't protected can someone at least keep an eye out for them breaching 3RR.

2024 Indian general election in Tamil Nadu

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Too many contradicting changes. No sources are being cited. Elections in April-May 2024. Should be protected atleast till May 2024. ShaanSenguptaTalk 08:06, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. User:Shaan Sengupta - I don't doubt you're right that this will probably need to be protected right up through the election. That said, because the protection log is empty, it would be impermissibly escalatory of me to go from no protection to four months protection and someone will complain that I'm applying de facto preemptive protection. So, to spare myself that hassle, I've applied one week with the understanding we'll probably have to apply new protection once it expires. Sorry. Chetsford (talk) 09:15, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Protection policy

In the list of community general sanctions in § As general sanction enforcement, add the following:

* [[Kurds]] and [[Kurdistan]] ([[WP:GS/KURD]]—community extended confirmed restriction since January 2023)<ref>{{slink|Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive348#Massive_off-wiki_campaign_aimed_at_disrupting_Wikipedia}}.</ref>

This is pure bookkeeping; the restriction is still in force (the last logged sanction is from late November), it just was never listed in that section. I'll also note that, as a result of this restriction not being included there, it was overlooked when the scope of the WP:GS/AA ECR was reduced in September; it might be worth considering whether this one is also overly broad. 129.170.195.78 (talk) 06:32, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll leave this up here in case someone disagrees, but I'm giving the IP the benefit of the doubt. Most of the edits from the 197.32.0.0/16 range are OK, and while you are certainly correct about this edit, the editor is likely mixing up Orthodox and Roman Catholic. If they get too dogmatic about insisting on the change I could consider pending changes, but for now an edit summary that actually explains the problem might suffice.

List of opponents of Fiducia supplicans

Reason: IP users and WP:SPAs are adding unreferenced or poorly-referenced content, on a sensitive article about a current affairs topic in the Catholic Church. These edits are listing people and groups "opposed" to a document allowing same-sex blessings in the church, an "opposition" not reasonably demonstrated in the cited sources, which are often self-published traditionalist Catholic blogs or tweets. Some additional concerns about the article are detailed in the merge proposal under discussion, including examples where "opposition" has been clearly misconstrued. I asked IP users and SPAs to provide better citations and suggested using in-citation quotes to demonstrate opposition on the talk page, to which the answer was for one IP user to remove my failed-verification tags.

Gianni Schicchi

Reason: This page was meant to be temporarily semi-protected back in November 2021 due to it being put up as a featured article on the main page back then. However, it appears the TFA protector bot got the dates wrong, i.e. the bot made the indefinite move protection expire on the intended end date of the editing protection while the editing protection was set to indefinite inadvertently. So, the page should be unprotected from editing while the indefinite move protection should be restored. The page history shows basically no vandalism or unconstructive edits at all from new accounts or IP users from the several years prior to the protection being placed. — AP 499D25 (talk) 00:59, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll let someone else decide on this, but just to note: per the log, Graeme Bartlett indefinitely semi-protected the page back in 2017, and that didn't change when the bot added temporary move-protection in 2021. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 02:00, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: @AP 499D25: For future requests, make sure you have asked the protecting administrator (which generally isn't going to be TFA Protector Bot for a long-term protection), or the request will be denied as per the Protection policy.

List of genocides

Reason: This page is no longer accurate. Currently the Israeli government and the United States government are committing genocide upon Palestine and the people of Palestine. The information on this page, "List of Genocides," by its nature requires updated information immediately. To refrain from updating this page is a blatant disregard of reality, of what is factual. APwasHere2024 (talk) 06:01, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

+1 Reason: The sanctity of life is at stake, in a manner we have not faced in many decades. It is paramount, at all times, but in this moment in particular, that this website has the ability to accurately describe historical information and context. For this purpose, the List of Genocides page must be open to editing, such that it can accurately describe the facts of the genocides happening in our world right now. APwasHere2024 (talk) 06:07, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Page is a magnet for original research and personal opinion, as the long protection log at its previous location shows. With due respect, it's not a particularly strong argument to ask for unprotection so you can add your own personal opinion to the article. If anything it shows why the protection should stay. -- Euryalus (talk) 06:53, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Omnis Scientia. What happened here was a blank and redirect by another editor, not a move, and definitely not vandalism.

@Completely Random Guy: You posted this request in a subpage for decreasing protection. Currently the only protection is pending-change protection (PCP), meaning it is currently completely open to the community to edit, already. If PCP is a burden on the community due to repeatedly having to revert edits from anonymous IP addresses, that's a reason to increase the protection to semiprotected.

Reason: I am writing to request the removal of the protection on the Kourage Beatz NSI article, which was protected on June 12, 2023, due to repeated recreations. The protection was implemented to prevent further edits without administrator access.

I am committed to addressing these issues, improving the article's content, resolving copyright concerns, and ensuring compliance with Wikipedia guidelines.

Nick McKenzie

Reason: An editor, @TarnishedPath, just tried to make an edit that removed a reliable source and the text related to that source based on a misreading of the article published in that source. In his edit summary, he said "The only context in which McKenzie's name is mentioned in The Australian article is in relation to newspaper articles which were found to be not defamtory [sic]. Removed per WP:BLP. Better source still needed as the NYT citation does not mention McKenzie" However, the cited article from The Australian says, in part, "Mr Schiff alleged 'the episode' and its accompanying 'news articles', compiled by journalists Nick McKenzie, Charlotte Grieve and Joel Tozer, implied he “facilitated the theft of millions of dollars from the Australian people“ by helping customers commit offshore tax fraud." Thus it references both the the defamatory content (i.e., "the episode") and the non-defamatory content (i.e., "news articles"). In addition, the article clearly say, in part, "The case, filed last October, alleged a 60 Minutes episode titled ‘Operation Atlantis’ and its accompanying news articles in The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and on Nine’s websites made false claims that Mr Schiff, the CEO and founder of Euro Pacific Bank had “orchestrated an illegal global tax evasion scheme.” This is further support that the reliable source is talking about both "the episode" and the "news article."

Reason: A sadly now-deceased editor protected this page 9 years ago in response to a spate of vandalism and low-quality edits. But eternal protection for a generally noncontroversial page seems like overkill, and it's quite possible that in the past 9 years the offending anonymous editor(s) has moved on to lowering the quality of other corners of the internet.

Not unprotected. The abuse filter log spans over a decade and has numerous entries well past the protection date. Granted, it's been over a year since anyone tripped the filter. However, I'm not inclined to unprotect it yet, although I won't object if another administrator agrees to unprotect. For now, please make an edit request on the talk page. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:36, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the response. The page needs numerous minor corrections to spelling (including of the band's name in one instance), grammar, and punctuation, which are very quick and easy to make, but tedious to type out so another editor can make them. So it's not worth my time to make an edit request, but I'll make the corrections if someone ends up being willing to lower the protection level. 2605:A601:AAF7:3700:82:72CD:3571:CD02 (talk) 04:55, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-Protection: Featured article about a politician, also containing a current event. several edits in the past few days, including possible vandalism from an IP.

I also suggest protecting the article 2024 conflict in Ecuador, just like other current event articles such as "Israel-Hamas War" and "Russian Invasion in Ukraine", in order to prevent misinformation and vandalism. 108.49.72.125 (talk) 01:34, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

John Anthony Castro

Reason: There's been a smattering of IP vandalism adding WP:COPYVIO and deprecatory allegations to this BLP in the last 24 hours. I normally wouldn't suggest protection at this stage, however, this is a lightly-read article where vandalism is likely to go unnoticed, it intersects with a contentious topic, and the subject is currently (and will likely continue to be) in the news [27] until January 17. A short period of semi-protection to mitigate damage may be warranted. Note for disclosure - I edited this article in the summer of 2023, after which time I became aware of a previously non-existent COI with this article.

2024 Yemen airstrikes

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Contentious topic given its link to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Brandon Downes (talk) 02:45, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. The Arbitration guidelines establish the applicable area as articles related to conflict between Arab countries and Israel "broadly interpreted". Yemen is an Arab country, the article is about a conflict, however, it's unclear to me if the broad interpretation can be broadened so wide as to include this article under the Arab-Israeli conflict since, as Buidhe notes, the word "Israel" isn't even mentioned in the article's prose. If this situation changes, however, this can be revisited. Alternatively, if specific issues arise with this article, routine protection can be applied, as appropriate, under a new request. Chetsford (talk) 04:31, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sean O'Connor (producer)

Reason: Hello there, I have been having issues with the page written about my career. I have worked in the media for 35 years- most notably running The Archers for the BBC, as well as bringing the film director Terence Davies out of retirement after an absence of a decade. In that time I did spend a year at EastEnders. Over several months, some editors have been writing on my page with the intention of undermining my reputation. They use sources such as Digital Spy, The Sun or Hello to suggest that I was sacked because ratings were low and that I was accused of bullying. The Sun certainly made that accusation at the time, but this was proved to be absolutely untrue and I was paid damages and given a public apology. One editor insists on mentioning The Sun accusations- though carefully mentions the retraction. But this is clearly meant to indicate 'there's no smoke without fire.' At the same time the editor claims various cast members were critical of certain decisions. Yes, a former producer said he was 'sad' that some characters left- but he clearly knows this is just the natural churn of soap opera. Barbara Windsor did say that a decision was 'a mistake'- but she was ill at the time- as is now well known. The tone of these edits is malign and clearly made by a vindictive fan. Wikipedia is not an appropriate forum for such fan criticism as it is supposed to be an objective forum of factual information. This series of edits has been go on for so long now, I have found it extremely distressing. I feel that it is at least harassment and feels rather like bullying. So I'd like to request that this page be edited in fair terms by objective editors and then protected from fans who are less interested in the truth and simply have an axe to grind.

Prior requests notwithstanding, this does seem like something that clearly falls under ARBPIA broadly construed, as a military conflict originating as a response to fighting in Gaza. signed, Rosguill talk 14:25, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Part of the earlier decline was that Israel was never mentioned in the article prose. The current article mentions the conflict many times, placing the missile strikes squarely within the context of the A-I conflict. I'd support protection. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:30, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Again, are there any contested or disruptive edits by non-WP:XC users that concerns WP:ARBPIA? That remains the question. If one wishes to move the goal posts and just go straight preemptive, that's different. El_C 14:55, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would interpret WP:ARBECR B If a page (other than a "Talk:" page) mostly or entirely relates to the topic area, broadly construed, this restriction is preferably enforced through extended confirmed protection, though this is not required. as encouragement to apply the protection irrespective of the current state of editing. signed, Rosguill talk 15:03, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is also my view, with a sprinkling in of WP:PP#Extended confirmed restriction's restatement of that point. Both emphasize the "not required", so I'm sympathetic to the practice of some admins of waiting until there's been clear disruption. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:08, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:ARBECR and WP:CTOP are the policies that matter here because we're talking about ArbCom remedies specific to WP:CT/A-I. WP:PP#Extended confirmed restriction links to WP:ARBECR without attempting to codify or clarify it. If you want a clarification, you should file one with the ArbCom. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:04, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not particularly interested in ArbCom clarification, and I'm ok with the status quo being that some admins will protect just to enforce ECR and others will want to wait to see disruption. To the extent that I think it'd be better to all be on the same page, I'd prefer a consensus among admins more than I'd want ArbCom input.
I think WP:PP applies to all protection actions, and it's only because PP mentions the Arb/CT procedures that we can follow them, since ArbCom doesn't create policy. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 21:13, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While I have no strong opinion on this, here's a bit of institutional memory: about half a decade ago, after I preemptively protected ~100 ARBPIA primary articles, I was told to maybe not do that. There was a long drawn out discussion about it, where I was (and remain) neutral on, which is where a consensus among protecting admins was formed to not preemptively protect even DS/CT pages. At some point, ARBCOM was queried about this, because after all, then and now ARBECR wasn't that different in this respect. That committee's answer was... non-committal. Anyway, might be worth revisiting the question at WP:ARCA or elsewhere. El_C 15:19, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's a few that nonetheless preemptively protect. Is Daniel Case one of them? The 🏎 Corvette 🏍 ZR1(The Garage) 15:47, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No idea. El_C 15:48, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In certain CTOPS areas like RUSUKR and (especially lately) PIA, where the decisions (or corresponding community sanctions) hold that ECP is to apply to the entire area, I (and others it seems) have taken that to mean that we do not have to wait for disruption to occur to impose ECP. Daniel Case (talk) 18:45, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, no need to wait for disruption to occur to impose ECP. What otherwise would be a legit content dispute but involving non-WP:XC accounts (i.e. contested edits), too. I'm sure that's what you meant! El_C 19:35, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Arain

Reason: Regrettably, the editors working on this article are providing a grossly inaccurate account of Arain history. Whoever is contributing appears to be spreading false information. I request enhanced protection to prevent fraudulent details from being posted on this article. To summarize the issues, the article claims that Arain has origins with the Rajput tribe, which is factually incorrect. Additionally, there are assertions of Arain having a Hindu population, which is untrue. I suspect that some contributors may be associated with the RSS in India, attempting to distort Islamic history in India and Pakistan.

Here is a more accurate portrayal of Arain history:

The Arain (آرائین) are a Muslim agricultural caste primarily settled in the Punjab and Sindh regions of Pakistan. They are commonly associated with farming and traditionally held positions as landlords or zamindars. The origin of the Arain caste is a subject of debate, with various perspectives. The prevailing information about their origin is outlined below.

Country of Origin: Determining the original nationality of the Arain can be complex due to changes in regional boundaries over time. It is often asserted that they are rulers of Arab descent, likely due to the fact that the majority of Arain are Sunni Muslims, similar to the early Arabs in Muhammad bin Qasim's expedition. According to historical accounts, Arain migrated from Areeha (Jericho, Syria) with Muhammad Bin Qasim in 92 Hijri (711 AD). Muhammad Hayaat Madni, a Commander in Muhammad Bin Qasim's Army, is mentioned in the family tree of the renowned Arain Mian Family Baghbanpura. The famous Indian Historian of Islam, Akbar Shah Khan Najeebabadi, declared that they entered India through Debal, Sindh, with Muhammad Bin Qasim, identifying them as Areehai from Arreha (Jericho), which was later adapted to Arain in Punjab with a nasal sound.

Muhammad Sharif, a UK-based Indian historian, notes in "Destiny of the Tribe Raeen" that Arain began coming to Sindh (Iraq-i-Ajam) in 46 Hijri (666 AD) towards the end of the Orthodox Caliphate. They were part of the Banu Sama sub-tribe of the Banu 'Amir tribe within the larger Aal-i-Adnan clan (The House of Adnan) through Hawazin.

A study by the Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences on blood types in the Punjab showed that while O is the most common blood group among all ethnicities, B is most common among the Arain, indicating a statistically significant difference. While not definitive proof of non-local ancestry, it highlights a distinction between the Arain and other castes in Punjab.

Languages: Arains residing in different parts of Pakistan speak various languages, including but not limited to Urdu, Punjabi, Pothohari, Seraiki, Sindhi, Hindko, Pushto, and Pahari, depending on their place of residence.

Arain Family Names: Arains commonly use the following family names (titles): Chaudhry, Mian, Mehar, Malik, Ramay, Bhutta, Sappal, Mari Put, Ghurki, Ramday, Bhutto, Shami, Munda, Hansi, Gill, Daulay, Chachar, Gaellin, Mulanay, Qutab, Shahi, Rattay, Goheer, Ghalar, Gahgeer, Gatku, Kavali, Basroo, Rahi, Bhati, Multani, Sayal, Baga, Peer, and Alrai.

Famous Families of Arains:

Mian Family of Bagwanpura Lahore Ghorki Family of Lahore Mahar Family of Ghotki Bhutto Family of Larkana Kasuri Family of Kasur Mian Family of Faisalabad Kohastani Family of Faisalabad Sardar Family of Kasur Ratta Family of Sadiqabad Nawab Family Choudhri Family of Khanpur Zardari Family Academic References: Several academic references support these details, including Akbar Shah Najeebabadi's "Aina Haqeeqat Numa," Asgar Ali Chadhury's "Tareekh Arain," and Horace Arthur's "A Glossary of the Tribes and Castes of the Punjab and North-West Frontier Province."

Reason: Dear Wikipedia Administrators,

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the need for "Requests for Page Protection" on the Somali National Movement page. Recent unauthorized edits lacking proper sourcing have necessitated immediate action to maintain the integrity of the information presented on the page.

Vandalism poses a severe threat to the credibility and reliability of the content, and it is imperative that protective measures be implemented promptly. The unauthorized changes have already been reverted, but I am seeking your assistance in ensuring the long-term stability and accuracy of the Somali National Movement page.

Fiducia supplicans

Reason: IP vandalism. Over the past week, there have been multiple deletions of the cited claim that the document was approved with a signature by Pope Francis (6 Jan, 7 Jan I, 7 Jan II, 15 Jan I, 15 Jan II); these deletions have been reverted by several editors. Contributing IP addresses were kindly asked by Pbritti to take their concerns to the talk page, and have not. A recent series of edits also amended the wording to suggest much stronger opposition to the document (e.g. "Several figures associated with traditionalist Catholicism rejected" became "A plethora of other Catholic commentators from the English speaking world"), and reinserted a claim about a bishop's opposition that was removed after talk page discussion.

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Recent drive by lead disruptions by new accounts et al.

Gotitbro (talk) 23:26, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is already on indef semi; raising it to ECP temporarily would mean that protection expires completely when that expires as we cannot currently layer protections. That means there is a chance that the article would go unprotected. Are you OK with this?
Also, I have added a CTOPS notice to the talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 23:44, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that should not be a major problem, the past protection appears to have been mostly related to Criticism of Mother Teresa (which is now its own article). If problems do crop up with an unprotected page we can revisit it for RPP. Gotitbro (talk) 01:34, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Request semi-protection due to persistent block evasion by Kelownatopdog. Please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kelownatopdog for the gruesome details. This is an on-going, chronic problem that has unfortunately been going on for the last two years, and for this reason, I would like to see article semi-protected for at least a year or two.

Reason: Again, could this article be semi-protected because of the persistent block evasion by Kelownatopdog. Please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kelownatopdog. This is chronic behavior on the part of Kelowatogdog that has been going on for the last two years. This article was semi-protected last year twice because of our friend Kelownatopdog, who just started editing again once the semi-protection expires. For this reason, could this article placed under semi-protection for a considerable period of time, say like a year or two? Thank you for your time and help. A.S.

Daniel Case It was already semi. But it had multiple autoconfirmed users abusing the right for vandalism and unexplained content removals. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 05:13, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I looked at it. The problem is this: If I upgrade the protection temporarily to EC, then when that expires, all the protection expires. The software does not currently allow us to layer protections or blocks (I have put in a request at the Community Wishlist Survey that that be enabled, and it got a lot of support, but it happens when it happens). If you're OK with that happening, let me know (there are other options, like blocking those users from the page, although that would require specifically warning them, which maybe we should do) Daniel Case (talk) 05:19, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A workaround for now is to set a reminder to reblock for the lower but indef protection settings when the current protection is about to expire. – robertsky (talk) 05:26, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think we can currently go with the ECP and when that expires, I'll put in a request for semi, depending on the vandalism level. The temple is set to open next week and the traffic is only going to increase. Warning and AIV requests are going side by side, but it's going overboard now. Random accounts that were autoconfirmed and haven't edited in years, just sprung up randomly and vandalise and disappears. Hence, I thought of asking for ECP. The page is on my watchlist and maybe a 3 month ECP will settle the issue, IMO. Thanks. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 06:01, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why do these need to be unprotected? Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:31, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Template protection should be used on templates whose risk factor would have otherwise warranted full protection. It should not be used on less risky templates on the grounds that the template editor user right exists—the existence of the right should not result in more templates becoming uneditable for the general editing community. Our protection policy allows for the unprotection of pages if the reason for protection no longer applies. Sdrqaz (talk) 12:31, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alex Smith

Reason: I don't think pending changes is really necessary anymore for this. This isn't a controversial subject. It's just an average player who has been retired for years. The admin who added pending changes ten years ago is not active anymore, so I did not ask them. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 20:21, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

+1 Reason: The request to restrict the page to acceptance of edits only by autoconfirmed users and up was made back in December of 2013, and the administrator who put the protection in place has been inactive since January of 2020. It does not appear either that the page is inherently controversial or a honeypot for unusual vandalism.

@Daniel Quinlan: Disagree, there is no reason to try to explain to an IP hopper again and again why these categories are inappropriate. Shellwood (talk) 01:34, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Shellwood: As far as I can tell, nobody has ever explained why the categories are inappropriate, either in an edit summary or on any talk page. In addition, nobody has ever warned them about edit warring or informed them about BRD. It's little wonder that the result is an edit war. Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers has more guidance on this topic. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 01:46, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:List of territorial disputes

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – An IP editor is engaged in disruptive editing on this talk page, not getting other people's points, as well as pushing their same points over and over again, i.e. bludgeoning the process. Several other editors including me have made their points very clear, but the IP editor continues to fail to understand them and continue repeating their point. This talk page has been protected numerous times in the past for this same behaviour, with the last protection being 1 months. I recommend a duration of maybe 3 or 6 months. Blocking users is not gonna work as there are just too many addresses/ranges involved, and ignoring them isn't gonna work either, as they will then flood the talk page with dozens of threads about their PoV, as shown here. — AP 499D25 (talk) 05:02, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
There has been no attempts of disruptive editing from my end. I just tried to include some of the latest developments without making any additions or deletions to the existing content. Kindly check the latest edits as they do not contest any of the previous information. Just wanted to enhance the page as some people with personal vendetta are trying to present the project in the negative light, which is definitely not the reality. DMSurojit (talk) 06:10, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that your edits would not constitute vandalism or disruptive editing (I was referring to the other users' edits.) They were reverted by another editor because they lacked a source and were written in a promotional, not encyclopedic tone. If you could rewrite the information in an encyclopedic tone and provide sources, your edits could improve the article and would be accepted. Thanks.

David Grusch UFO whistleblower claims

Reason: the protection level is extreme. there are many recent revelations that are not covered in the article and the fact that a very tiny number off people can only edit and even the talk page is semi protected, has caused this article to be out of date and inaccurate.

For anyone wondering, the reason it kept getting removed was that, per WP:SYNTH, statements that a song gets "universal / widespread acclaim" or "generally favorable / unfavorable reviews" MUST have a source.

Republicanism in the United Kingdom

Reason: Continual removal of polls from 'Opinion polling' section by IP editors. These editors (or one editor) are repeatedly removing recently added polls on the spurious grounds of the type of question used, when the purpose of all polls on this subject is essentially the same. Despite suggesting they would rather see a second table, they have opted for outright removal, rather than creating such a table. Prose in the article has also been removed and edited, suggesting political bias. Registered editors have restored these polls and the text. I would be grateful if this article could be protected to prevent further edit warring by IP editors. See [41] and Revision history —TrottieTrue (talk) 13:38, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is ongoing: another IP address editor (although maybe not a unique person) has since moved the polls they object to, putting them in a separate table. All these edits appear to come from an unregistered IP address. The intention appears to be to stop unfavourable polling being seen in the main table.—TrottieTrue (talk) 15:47, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The editor appears to believe that an ARBECR qualified editor can post his comments on his behalf. If that were the case, it would defeat the entire purpose of the restriction. Selfstudier (talk) 19:03, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will leave it for someone neutral to decide, since I didn't come here to debate technicalities in the rules like this. Sagflaps (talk) 19:25, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Selfstudier: As I replied on your talk page, your removal of the comment was not required by ARBECR, merely permitted for purposes of enforcement. And because the comment was not disruptive, rather it was constructive, it would have done no harm if you had left it alone. Articles are ECP protected to prevent disruptions from non-extended-confirmed editors, but generally we still permit discussion on talk pages from such editors. While an AFD page isn't technically a "talk" page, it is a discussion page nonetheless. I suggest you self-revert. ~Anachronist (talk) 15:39, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I have replied on my talk page and will copy here
"Sorry, I don't agree, WP:ARBECR is clear that non EC editors are limited to the filing of edit requests and may not participate in internal project discussions such as RFC, RM, etcetera.
"When such a restriction is in effect in a topic area, only extended-confirmed editors may make edits related to the topic area, subject to the following provisions: The restriction applies to all edits and pages related to the topic area, broadly construed, with the following exceptions: Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace only to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. Selfstudier (talk) 15:51, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This doesn't address the fact that there was no requirement to remove the comment. In any case, an edit request has been made, as ARBECR suggests is the correct process. The request is not unreasonable. Therefore I am going to accept it.

In addition, some users are incorrectly including countries and areas that the empire purportedly conquered which has been addressed before and lead to the page being protected in July-[51] + [52] + [53]. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 03:39, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vijay (actor)

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because the article needs to be updated and many confirmed users are positively trying to contribute to the article and it's not possible since there is miscommunication in talk page and the article is extended protected. So kindly reduce the protection of the Vijay actor page so the article can be up-to-date. Thanks admin. 91.149.236.107 (talk) 14:54, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. Even if protection were reduced to semiprotection, IP addresses still couldn't edit it. Furthermore, IP addresses who cannot even create a proper edit request have no business editing the article. The edit requests on the talk page have all been poor. Make a proper edit request on the talk page, in the form "change X to Y", or "add X after Y", or "remove X". A rationale must be given, and reliable sources cited. Otherwise, you'll get nowhere. This page here isn't intended to be an end-run around the edit request process, which is currently working as it should with respect to the Vijay article. ~Anachronist (talk) 14:59, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – An IP editor continues to engage in personal attacks, time-wasting WP:IDHT and bludgeoning behaviour, shortly after expiration of previous protection. This is carried over from the Talk:List of territorial disputes, which was semi-protected several days ago for the same disruption from this IP user. Too many addresses/ranges involved hence requesting protection instead of blocks. Ignoring them isn't gonna work either, as they will then flood the talk page with dozens of threads about their PoV, as indicated by them creating four new sections on this Talk:Noktundo page in the last day or so, despite saying they would stop doing so in this previous comment. — AP 499D25 (talk) 12:59, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Please extend the protection level to indefinite because the ethnonationalistic disruption won't stop. Since Alper Gezeravcı's space flight on 18 January 2024, this article has become a playground for the some IPs and users who just ignore BLP and try to invent a made-up background and ethnicity for this American astronaut. The source of this disruption seems come from Kurdish-Turkish conflict on social media especially Twitter/X. A single-purpose account[68] dedicated their whole time to disrupt this article. More disruptive edits will happen by IPs just like [69][70][71]. Even the talk page is not safe from them.[72][73]. Mann Mann (talk) 06:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Large edit-war between multiple EC accounts (6+). We actually need a temporary full-protection on the page. One participant on the talk page, when mentioned that they were edit warring, said, in short, I am not aware of the debate. Full protection is being requested for a month as this debate (see article history) has being going on since January 11 and shows no signs of stopping.

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. I'm not finding any attempt to mitigate the impacts of the current dispute through reporting transgressive editors for 3RR or opening an RfC on the Talk page. The dispute itself involves incredibly low stakes (what images with which to decorate the article) that generally won't justify an extreme level of protection such as Full Protection.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent unsourced edits, especially from an IPv6 mobile editor adding and changing the cast listing for this upcoming film. IPv6 range is much wider than just a /64. Invited the editor to participate in a discussion on the talk page, but the changing IPs will likely make it difficult to know if they are seeing the invitation.

Request semi-protection for this article, and given that this is a chronic, on-going problem that started back in 2022 (please refer to the archieves of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kelownatopdog), would it be possible to have this article placed under semi-protection for least a year or two.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Simmering/ongoing/persistent changing of the birthdate with no cited references - for SOME reason, it's being changed to November 12, 1694. The sources I have seen do not state a DATE, they only state the *year*. I personally do not think that "Pending changes" will do it and if Indefinite isn't in the cards, please make it a length that will actually tamp down this ongoing & persistent vandalism. Please make it stop. Shearonink (talk) 07:02, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Contentious topic, contentious editing and edit warring. An issue at discussion on the talk page has since been elevated to BLPN, where discussion is ongoing, but edit warring on the article has increased. I'd also like to see a permanent 1RR restriction per arbitration enforcement on post-1992 US politics and BLP grounds. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:48, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined At the moment I'm going for the 1RR restriction as a better solution. It does seem like people who who should know how to behave themselves aren't. But due to technical limitations, we can't set things so the ECP resumes after a full-protect expires ... we would have to restart protection entirely, and while that's not difficult it means leaving the article unprotected for a while, which as the admin who upgraded this to ECP a couple of days ago I'd really rather not do at this point giving everything going on. If 1RR still doesn't make a difference, then I'd be open to a full-protect if this issue is unresolved. Daniel Case (talk) 21:09, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indo-Canadian organized crime

Reason: Request Semi-protection. Our friend, the blocked editor and prolific sock-puppet, Kelowntopdog, has been active on this article yet again this month. Kelowntopdog is absolutely obsessive about this article, and will not leave it alone. His latest sock-puppet was blocked today, but I have no doubt that he will be back very soon. There is something rather wrong with an article the sockpuppets are about equal to the number of legitimate editors over the last three years. This is an on-going problem with this article that has been going on since 2021, and given the severity of this issue, could the semi-protection be extended for at least a year, if not longer?

Template:Milorgestcat

Semi-protection: Has 385 transclusions, which per WP:HRT is not even at the threshold of XC, much less TPE. It is, however, at the level for semi, so my request is that this template be semi-protected. I would like to move the page to {{military organization establishment category}} per WP:TPN. Protecting admin is now SBAN'd. HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 19:58, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests like this should be considered together to determine whether the category issue mentioned at User talk:Johnuniq#Template:PolParsEstCat is significant (I don't know). Johnuniq (talk) 04:13, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll respond to the substance of the matter here: at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive/2020/02#Template:PolParsEstCat, BHG argued that cat headers [are] a special vulnerability, because if they are screwed up, then the categories break. This is explicitly arguing for WP:PREEMPTIVE protection, which for templates is not necessarily a no-no. It just means we would be relying on WP:HRT (or WP:IAR, but I don't think making an exception for the hundreds of category header templates would leave the rule intact). I don't think this argument holds weight, because it would apply to any template. Most templates are trivial to break; all you have to do is not close a tag and suddenly the rest of the page looks weird. Or really do anything else on my handy list of ways you can break the rest of a page by editing a template. Of course, if disruption does occur, we can always revisit the issue and reprotect the pages, and any damage can be trivially fixed by reverting the problematic edit(s). Pinging @Wugapodes and Favonian, who BHG noted had responded to earlier protection requests on similar matters. HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 05:00, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think BrownHairedGirl does have a point that the level of risk is slightly higher for templates than constitute the entire page than for templates that are a small part, but I don't it rises to the level of template protection. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:12, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It seems a lot of these are from early 2020, which was before ECP became widely used on templates. Back then, policy forbid the use of preemptive ECP on high risk templates, so "higher risk than semi" meant template protection. Now that we are allowed to use ECP, I think that's a reasonable level here. — Wug·a·po·des 08:22, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Given the prior community consensus on this issue, I favour semi-protection over extended-confirmed. HouseBlaster's comment is convincing. Sdrqaz (talk) 04:48, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Film festivals by year of establishment cat

Semi-protection: This category was WP:PREEMPTIVEly protected by BHG because 70 categories are wholly dependent on this template (quote from the protection summary; in fairness, this has increased to a whopping 73 transclusions).

Reason: Edit warring. As soon as the protection I previously asked for has expired, an IP editor has again removed three recent polls and separated them from the main table of opinion polls. A registered editor has also recently done this, but they are not an extended confirmed user, so a higher level of protection, and for a longer period, should help to resolve this continued edit warring by users who have not agreed any consensus for this change.

Already protected by administrator Berig. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 08:35, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

96th Academy Awards

Reason: High level of IP disruptive editing. Persistent edit warring, section blanking; users were warned multiple times in gradually increasing levels, ultimately culminating in a 3RR warn. Most of it has to do with the insistence of them removing a sourced section of material relating to "controversy"; regardless of whether we all agree w/ it being that controversial or not, it has received significant coverage, is well-sourced, and previous ceremonies each have controversy sections detailing their respective brouhahas. Lastly, I invited one of the IPs to engage in conversation on the talk page, rather than simply edit WITHOUT even detailing in the edit summary, and they have failed to even bother to do so. Please protect this page for a good month perhaps? It was already protected for a few days once. So not sure if this escalation warrants more than a month, but at least a couple of weeks please. Thank you. --Cinemaniac86TalkStalk 08:27, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:PolParsEstCat

Reason: It is being used on 212 pages, which per WP:HRT is not enough for the bot to semi-protect the template. I would ask for unprotection but be happy with a reduction to semi protection (it is somewhat close to 250 transclusions). I have asked the protecting admin to reduce the protection level, but they asked me to make a request here. HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:37, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. There is no need and as stated in the original protection request, there is significant risk to this template breaking. There is more to protection decisions than the number of transclusions.

In the 3/3 major language projects I looked at, though? What, is this sock some kind of wizard?

I'm still responding, though, unless you compel me against doing so. Anyway, if indeed, it's universally, then, I suppose. But is it? Yeah, that sock is flooding the revision history, which is ridiculous. But it's not like I was trying to find evidence to support or oppose either position.

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.
Question: Binksternet, the German, French and, uh, Italian Wikipedias (3/3 I looked at) all say British-American, so why are you removing American with no explanation? El_C 19:42, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because of energetic campaigning by Italian IPs. Sources universally call the group British. Binksternet (talk) 20:01, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the 3/3 major language projects I looked at, though? What, is this sock some kind of wizard? Also, I can't say I'm familiar with this group, but they have one member with an article, Jimmy Helms, who is an American. So, I'm sorry, but it's not really adding up for me. El_C 20:12, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@El C: Archiving this, but I would put more stock into what WP:RS are saying, especially when it was added by a banned sockpuppet. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:53, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still responding, though, unless you compel me against doing so. Anyway, if indeed, it's universally, then, I suppose. But is it? Yeah, that sock is flooding the revision history, which is ridiculous. But it's not like I was trying to find evidence to support or oppose either position. The results are what they are, and reflexively taking a position due to that sock's egregious conduct — I'm not sure that's an ideal position. El_C 22:23, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
More directly, sweeping whatever is happening under the rug, in my view, is a poorly thought out approach. El_C 22:32, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Sorry, I misinterpreted the status. I removed the archive template and restored the discussion. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:28, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Okay, a few points before we move this along. First, WP:CIRCULAR notwithstanding, I've been using the German Wikipedia (and Hebrew one) as a litmus test since the mid-2000s. Yes, there are two WPO threads about this right now (or I wouldn't think twice about it), both authored by the sock. One was locked (Binksternet, FMSky, and "anti-US" music deletionism), which is unusual for that forum—and says something about the 'energetic' efforts of that sock—while the other one created the next day (Presenting the history: cultural bias on music pages). Both feature evidence I have not reviewed. But it does not mean the sock is inherently wrong on the facts just because they have been so inept in advancing their position (including at the WPO).

So, as mentioned, I had gone to the German Wikipedia presuming it'll feature British only, and call it a day. But no, British-American. So I looked at another large language project, the French Wikipedia. Same thing. So I try one more. Italian IPs? I'll try the Italian Wikipedia. Same thing; 3/3. At this point I notice that the only member who has an article is an American and I go hmm. Because, at WPO, the sock claims and brings evidence, which again I've yet to review, that Binksternet (and FMSky) is doing the same thing—removing legit American mentions—from multiple articles. And that is where we left off before you confused my understanding of how RfPP works (i.e. I know leaving question or note at the bottom of requests stops the bot from archiving).

Anyway, RfPP is not the best venue to discuss all this, but perhaps a good starting point. But the forced-archiving sort of threw all that for a loop. So that's it from me about that, for now. Also noting that I'm not too familiar with the English Wikipedia music articles ecosystem (compared to history, politics, etc.). One final point that goes beyond this topic: when the contested edits (even from banned users) are relatively benign, like British → British-American, I think it harms the project when those socks are reverted dozens and dozens of times in succession. Since it completely floods the revision history, thereby making those portions of it pretty much unusable. So, something to consider in the future, Revirvlkodlaku — maybe stop after like 10 and wait for protection? Certainly in this case, it would have been better if you'd let the sock's edit stand until protection was applied. Because look at the revision history mess now. El_C 14:48, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Requesting immediate archiving... So I'm gonna archive this request, but pinging @Binksternet and FMSky: about this issue. And while I'm not inclined to get too involved in it myself, I'll emphasize that the claim is about multiple articles, but even this one alone, there's three large language projects that display the sock's version. Likely in other language projects, too. That means that either you're in error, which needs to be addressed at EN, or they are, in which case it probably needs to be handled at the m:Stewards level (something in between to some extent is also possible I suppose). Anyhow, noting for further reference and moving this request on. Unfortunately, I don't really have the time to delve further into this with any sort of depth. There are some red flags, though, is the point. El_C 01:08, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Archiving the thread is fine with me. The Italian person in my complaint is not the same as the one in the linked WPO discussions. That is a Chicagoan who we identify as Dcasey98. Very different interests. The Italian person is focused narrowly on Londonbeat. The Chicagoan is up in arms about how Wikipedia appears to favor the UK at the expense of the US, which is not remotely true. Binksternet (talk) 01:57, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cartography of the United States

Reason: Consistant vandalism.

While I am not sure if the page is promenant enough, or the frequency of the vandalism warrants semi-protection, the persistance of it would make me consider it. Of the last 100 edits at time of writing, (back to mid September 2023) 99 apear to be either vandalism, or reverting vandalism, all of it from either IP users or users with under 10 edits.

The only non-reverted edit I was able to find from an IP user was to capitalise a letter in a caption. Shaws username (talk) 04:52, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Shaws username, it's not frequent enough for WP:SEMI-protection. And the issue with WP:PC is that, from what I see, there hardly a time gap between a given disruptive edit and its reversion. I just don't know that there's a protection level that could really help with these issues atm, sorry. If it does flair up, though, as it border-line did in Nov, feel free to relist for some short-term relief. Thanks. El_C 05:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Orontes II

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Orontes I and Orontes III already recently got protected since they were targeted by WP:LTA/ARARAT, and now they're targeting this one.

Reason: Steady stream of a variety of morally outraged IPs, going back at least to January 12 [116], insisting on prominently adding their assessment of Cusack's recent comments on events in Gaza-Israel (e.g. "is an American Hamas supporting Jew hater and actor...").
