Reason: Vandalism or attempts of have not happened in over a decade. Businessman2932 (talk) 10:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Unprotected Good suggestion. Please nominate for protection if issues reoccur. As it's a high-profile article, that may well occur, but worth a shot. —Ganesha811 (talk) 22:51, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Still actively occurring right now.
For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Care&diff=prev&oldid=1211109795 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Care&diff=prev&oldid=1211109496 by 41.235.2241.8 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Care&diff=prev&oldid=1211107923 by 197.53.126.205.
I believe temporary semi-protection will resolve this vandalism problem.

Vlachs

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlachs

Article in question: Vlachs

Reason: the article in question is being entirely rewritten by two hungarian users, CritiKende and OrionNimrod.

These users are removing any and all mentions of the "contiunity theory" (i.e that Romanians lived above the Danube before hungarian arrival) and replacing it with the "Immigrant Theory" (that the Romanians came to modern day Romania only after Hungarian arrival). This is unacceptable and the entire article has been compromised, with over 54% of the entire thing being written by just them two without anyone elses input.

Multiple important details were outright removed like:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1208658409 (Vlachs traveling to Mount Athos in the 8th Century)

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1198006497 (Removal of an entire paragraph about Volohoveni, who are thought to have been Romanians living in modern day Ukraine)

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1182790311 (Entire paragraph about Proto-Romanian being spoken in the 6th century being removed)

These to just name a few, OrionNimrod is much the same, if not even worse.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1182605334 (Entire section about Romanians in the 9th century being removed)

So on and so forth. This cannot be tolerated!

Anpanman

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. A variety of IP addresses keep adding the same level of edits, which have been amounting to complaints that movies that were promised for a certain day haven't been released yet. It has been different IP addresses making the same scope of edits, so warnings have done nothing. ZootyCutie (talk) 16:22, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism by IPs from just one range. Persistent personal attacks as excuse for their unsourced claims. Seems to think that pictures are promo. The Banner talk 14:20, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

This is a bad-faith, totally baseless request, made by someone who has reverted over and over again without any attempt at any point to explain why they are doing so. There is no vandalism; there are no personal attacks; "Seems to think that pictures are promo." is apparently some kind of hallucination. Read the edit. Study the diff. Then, ideally, block the person who has been deliberately harming the article by reverting for no reason. 185.104.136.59 (talk) 14:24, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. @NJZombie: That a long and colorful quote has resulted in contention is not surprising (43 words to one particularly negative source and 7 words on 7 other sources). You might consider including a brief summary of all of the sources instead. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:51, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Declined. A clear spillover from Ashfield Independents, which I had to ECP last week. Macaddct1984 was within their rights to keep taking it out under WP:3RRNO since you kept adding unsourced contentious material about a living person. This would have led to you getting blocked, but since you have now added what appear to be reliable sources to support those claims (something you really should have done from the get-go), we will see what happens next. I have given you a contentious topics alert for BLP, and strongly urge both of you to discuss this if you continue to have issues instead of edit warring.

I will also be putting a CTOPS notice on the talk pages of both these articles. Daniel Case (talk) 19:32, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Paul Sweeney

Reason: High level of IP address edits, mostly seeking to undo any attempts by non-IP addresses attempting to reduce the size of this very detailed page, which is way too long, too detailed, and resembles a hagiography.

Sweeney's page includes claims of his undergraduate projects at university, not backed up by the linked sources, false claims about the timing of responses by the then First Minister of Scotland to his mid-election tweets about whacking her. All of these details are added by IP addresses, which also undo attempts at fixing.

Sweeney is a minor Labour Member of the Scottish Parliament, since 2021, who was formerly a member of parliament in Westminster 2017-19. His page is currently around 82,000 bytes. Stephen Kerr -- a Tory politician of about the same prominence, who has served exactly the same time in office as Sweeney is around 14,000. Alex Salmond, Parliamentarian 1986-2017, First Minster '07-'14, with three sizeable periods of leading parties and almost certainly the most prominent Scottish politician of the last three decades, is around 110,000 bytes, with a decent article. Stephen Flynn SNP Westminster leader, inarguably more prominent, who's been elected around the same length as Sweeney, is 12,000.

I was able t reduce to a most reasonable -- if still arguably overlong -- 57,000 bytes, added archived links to dead links, corrected errors and removed things not backed by links, all of which was removed by IP addresses in Sweeney's area. WorthPoke2 (talk) 14:30, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Hi, there is a massive Meatpuppetry and WPcanvassing, the Vlach article is under attack since 1 March by brand new users against editors with long history.

Foreign Secretary

Reason: The user Cambial Yellowing appears to be engaging in an edit war and will not accept Lord Cameron's title as being placed on the page. A separate edit warring submission will be submitted to Administrators for consideration. Until then, the page should be reverted to include Lord Cameron's title (which is different to his name on his article "David Cameron" per the talk page on that article) and protected. TheBishopAndHolyPrince (talk) 22:57, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Page protection would not be appropriate in this instance because the disruption is only coming from one user: TheBishopAndHolyPrince. Editor has been directed to the manual of style (particularly MOS:LINKCLARITY) but has made clear their intention to ignore it. An article block for editor TheBishopAndHolyPrince will prevent further disruption in the short term. Cambial — foliar❧ 23:03, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. — Czello (music) 20:52, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@Czello: Perhaps this is a sign that this particular claim that's being disputed should be updated or removed. Is there reliable sourcing that would back up the change to this individual's personal life that people keep adding unsourced updates about? What is the value of the old source from 2022 given the probable change in situation in the past few months? Is the old claim worth keeping as it is? Should their relationship status just be removed altogether, or qualified with a time frame based on the source that is currently used? Maybe a hidden note asking for a source would help.

  • The image seems rather WP:POINTy and doesn't convey information any better than text, if we assume it is correct. Not every image is automatically included, even if the data points are correct. It is an editorial decision, and that would require consensus, after discussion about WP:DUE. Since we can't "grant" consensus, I would decline to add the image. You will have to wait until you are able to edit the talk page, then propose it and allow discussion. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 13:29, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Indefinite semi, or at least an extension of the temporary protection by 6 months. Sockpuppet promotional edits by the same user across several accounts and IPs ([11], [12][13], [14], [15], [16]) since last December up until yesterday. For the protection to expire a week from now opens the door too soon for more vandal edits, which also poses an necessary time sink for patrollers. — That Coptic Guyping me!

Upsilon

Reason: I think the protection of the page is not needed because the last block was imposed in 2010, which is 14 years ago, a long time to be lifted. Also, upsilon has its limited use in most fields, perhaps opening access for anonymous users to contribute seems fair and suitable as now. In addition, the blocking administrator seems inactive by my view of their user page.2001:EE0:4BC4:FA0:DC97:2FF6:583C:A2A0 (talk) 15:05, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

TBH I've already made some — with the help of one and only man who helped me with that.

This: [19]. In 2022 — '24 topic city got befrateritized with some Norwayan, Finnish, German cities. The same and only admin guy told me that it was kinda risky change and also admitted to not speak or understand Ukrainian (pretty much every major administrative editor of that article was Russian btw, despite it's on English WP). Some fake categirization takes place in that tray ( Kryvyi Rih#Twin towns – sister cities. Despite multiple RSs in Russian existent, noone cares about my requests.

I'm hesitant to drop protection on a Level 3 Vital article that I would guess is at least a moderate target for vandalism if you can still use the talk page to make requests, which you have done already. The article isn't heavily edited (ie: it is fairly stable) and it seems that requesting talk page edits may still be the best way to effect change. I will leave open so others can opine. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

The two bad edits came from an IP that has also made good edits, and it is a single person on a /64 network. If it continues from the same person, I would just say to block that IP/64 for a bit.

I would thus agree that they're promotionally intended, but how would they know to stop if they haven't been warned about anything in five years?

It has, yes, however there's been a huge uptick in vandalism since it was announced. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 03:48, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
It's sourced, but IP editors continue to assert the date is the 8th. There have been a few other IP edits changing "died" to "kicked the bucket", as well. Sarcataclysmal (talk) 03:52, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
I would support protection due to mass disruption from IP editors. Toriyama's death wasn't announced until the 7th (or 8th, depending on time zone), but the announcement said that he died on March 1st. There's been several IP addresses confusing the dates, resulting in mass disruption. Panian513 03:55, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

TBH I've already made some — with the help of one and only man who helped me with that.

This: [25]. In 2022 — '24 topic city got befrateritized with some Norwayan, Finnish, German cities. The same and only admin guy told me that it was kinda risky change and also admitted to not speak or understand Ukrainian (pretty much every major administrative editor of that article was Russian btw, despite it's on English WP). Some fake categirization takes place in that tray ( Kryvyi Rih#Twin towns – sister cities. Despite multiple RSs in Russian existent, noone cares about my requests.

Reason: The last protection of the page was imposed 14 years ago which is now better to break. This topic is not ongoing, so removing protection seems fine. 2001:EE0:4BE2:37E0:49A4:5AB0:3C6E:D99E (talk) 15:28, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – A trade involving him has reportedly been agreed to, however, not only has the trade not been officially announced by either team, the trade cannot be completed until March 13 due to NFL rules. IP addresses are changing the article to reflect the reported trade despite this. Recommend protecting for one week which should be plenty of time for an official announcement and the trade to be completed. Rockchalk717 17:56, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Crunchyroll LLC

Reason: Hello

You can tell why the page I was editing recently was protected, some two users messed up the edit histories by adding both the infobox and the opening sentence about twenty times, as well as adding the section below on the Crunchyroll's website about the service, not its parent company of the same name. I would like to restore it to the latest stable version or better fix this, it looks very ugly if someone else sees the articleall messy and meaningless.

i am totally disagree with this requested. When I provide source in this article, he try to make up a war of edited and revered more than 3 times and do not request other editors be commands. When I read the rules, it doesn’t have “must be English released” Also, in his definition, English released is not equal to “Series with English Subtitles” or “English Speech Area released”.

Sweet Baby Inc.

Reason: Previously protected to prevent vandalism since something I call an "online backlash" over the company's pro-DEI character. Since there's a discussion over NPOV-related edits on this article I recommend this continue to be semi-protected until the heat has faded. At least one unfounded edit was reverted the same day this article became unprotected. Carlinal (talk) 21:18, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Newly released film has many new accounts and anon editors disruptively editing to add to a bloated plot (over 1000 words; well over the 700 max per MOS:FILMPLOT). Editors have been invited to discuss and been warned, but continue disruptively editing.

Reason: Endless edit warring of needless and redundant content. They add needless disambiguation templates or multiple redundant "About" templates, and no edit summaries.

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because the article Kartikeya contains many mistakes throughout the entire article in spelling, word, grammar, content, etc and they should be removed now. In all sections of this article, there are many mistakes in spelling, word, grammar, content, etc in everything and so they should all be removed so this page should be unprotected as it contains many mistakes that should be removed now itself immediately. 2409:40F4:D:A31A:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 06:36, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The same ongoing issue with unsourced additions is still occurring despite current protections.

Reason: Repeated addition of unsourced content, unsourced BLP information, content that misrepresents and misquotes the sources given, irrelevant information, and overlinks by IPv6 user 2601:205:4300* and IP alias 67.166.136.47 extending over some 60 edits back to October 2023. I have made repeated attempts both in edit summaries and user's talk pages to guide him toward respect for basic Wikipedia principles, none of which have been heeded or acknowledged. Behavior extends to a myriad of other pages as well. User has received temporary bans on both accounts in addition to having this page temporarily protected previously, has continued disruptive editing immediately after bans and protections were lifted. User is simply WP:NOTLISTENING. Rift (talk) 23:24, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Bear in mind that if you created such an article, not only would the title violate the WP:TRADEMARK guideline here, but it would also violate WP:NOTABILITY and WP:NOTPUBLICITY.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Palestinian citizens of Israel

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: To prevent votes from non EC users, per WP:PIA, which has already begun to occur. popodameron ⁠talk 04:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

  • Question, since this hasn't come up in my experience yet, but are non-EC editors disallowed from participating in AFD discussions? Have a link? IPs can make edit requests on CT talk pages, after all. I get why it might be a problem, but looking around the policies pages, I didn't see an absolute statement saying that IPs or non-EC are barred from participating. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 05:44, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
    Note: @Dennis Brown:: The restriction applies to all edits and pages related to the topic area, broadly construed, with the following 2 exceptions: 1)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.2) Non-extended-confirmed editors may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by non-extended-confirmed editors is permitted but not required. I would think AfD discussions are indeed pages related to the topic area, broadly construed, and would see ec-protection as allowed. Lectonar (talk) 10:30, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
    Since AFD is more of an extension of the talk page, just put in a different place, it seems just a little fuzzy. I'm sure EC is allowed under the right circumstances, but again, policy doesn't clearly state that only EC+ editors can participate in XfD discussions. That is such a big deal, I wonder if that is an oversight (and it would be a HUGE one, which makes me have doubts) or if the original intention was to not exclude non-EC editors, unless there was disruption enough to put ECP on it, seeing XfD as simply a talk page extension. This request is purely preemptive, on a discussion page, and has nothing to do with the direct content. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 13:21, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
    My money is on "Nobody has thought about it". We could of course ask ArbCom for claricfication, but do we want to open that barrel? 13:28, 13 March 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lectonar (talk • contribs)
    Honestly, I would rather we ask than assume this is what consensus or Arb policy is. The whole point of Contentious Topics is they are contentious, and if I'm forced to guess, I'm more inclined to decline the request than to grant. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 13:34, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
    Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. AfDs are definitely intended to be covered by ARBECR restrictions, no guesswork involved. The original language for ARBECR was clearer in that it explicitly named AfDs in topic-relevant areas as an example of discussions where non-EC editors are not welcomed. This example was elided from the updated language adopted last year, but that language still makes it clear that non-EC editors are generally excluded, with the only valid exceptions being non-disruptive edit requests on talk pages. signed, Rosguill talk 13:38, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
    There was a recent ARCA about this which ended in consensus that the restriction applies to AfD. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 13:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Rendang

Reason: The version history is full of Malaysian IPs trying to "claim" the dish to have Malaysian roots. It is popular in both Indonesia and Malaysia, but sources track the origins back to (now) Indonesia (n areas). It's a bit tiresome to change one word back again and again and again. I don't know if protecting the page against IPs is a good way to deal with it, or if a filter can be installed. Grueslayer 08:54, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Noktundo

Reason: Extremely high level of consistent, targeted vandalism by an IP abuser. This has been going on since at least October 2023, and I have had to put in multiple page protection requests alongside other editors. IP abuser has bludgeoned the point multiple times and has insulted various users for disagreeing with them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1196348030 Link to most latest protection request which was to deal with this person.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Noktundo&diff=prev&oldid=1197036255 You can see the full list of points they raised that led to this situation in my response, or alternatively you can check out Talk:Noktundo and Talk:List of territorial disputes

Requesting protection of page for at least 6 months, but honestly I would prefer a permanent protection for Noktundo so that people have to make an account to edit, this is the 3rd or 4th (ive lost track) request me and other editors have had to put in, I would greatly appreciate some long term solution. Sunnyediting99 (talk) 23:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. The activity on that page, disruptive and otherwise, just isn't high enough to warrant protection at this time. WP:LTA issues at or beyond that page may be reported elsewhere (WP:AIV, WP:ANI, WP:AN3, WP:SPI). That is to say, protection usually corresponds to intensity, so blocks are more suited for when that intensity is relatively low. El_C 17:32, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Sweet Baby Inc.

Reason: The talk page of the SBI-article was put under semi-protection under bad faith-arguments. The responsible Wikipedia-editor keeps trying to paint the critics of the article as irrational by using phrases like "you have strong feelings", "we require civility, forbid personal attacks" or "waging an ideological battle". All of which didn't happen. Several critics have repeatedly tried to explain why the SBI-article in its current form is harmful as it omits key information. Since multiple named Wikipedia-editors keep arguing with "social media posts are not sources", the logical consequence should have long been to remove the article/section of the article until sources appear that portray the entire situation in a complete manner.

Not only is the current version of the article not factual, it also serves as ammunition for one side of the people being part of the "controversy", whether intentional or unintentional by the responsible Wikipedia-editors. We want to assume good faith, of course, so unintentional it is. Worst, however, is that many of the accepted sources (which most of them are just referring to the same Kotaku-article, so it's questionable what value many of the used sources hold) use terms that directly call the critics of SBI all the worst things, like "nazis", "women hater", "racists" and more; in most cases not by using those words directly, but terms like "GamerGate" and "harassment" are used in all these sourced articles, terms commonly connotated with the aforementioned terrible words. As someone who is part of the critics of SBI, I can attest that I am none of these. While this goes beyond the article's semi-protection case, I want to quickly explain that the critics of SBI are NOT against diversity per se as the sourced websites claim.

The big argument is "forced diversity" vs "natural diversity", where the latter would be, to bring an example for each, an npc in Mass Effect: Andromeda that greets the player and just starts talking about his personal transgender history. And example for "natural diversity" would be Winston from the Ghostbusters-cartoon, who is black, but at no point does the series scream "look, Winston is BLACK", instead he is portrayed as an equal member of the Ghostbusters, he is allowed to exist as a normal, fellow human being. That is the kind of diversity the critics of SBI desire.

To return to the case of the semi-protection of the SBI-article: I hope the protection will be removed quickly, as the impression is that the participating named Wikipedia-editors aren't capable of handling the situation at hand adequately. Moreover, I would like to express my hope that someone in a position to do so can review the article and bring about improvement either by including the information currently being omitted, or by removing the article/section of the article that is misleading and anti-factual, thus counter to what Wikipedia should be about, too, which offering articles that by best conscience adhere to facts.

My recommendation is for Mike to return to the negotiation table and engage with the issues on the talk page to try and arrive at concensus with all the editors involved not just him and his friend who he speaks for quite often.

Study Irish mythology and look at Cethlenn’s role in the mythology. Short sightedness is acceptable but closed off stupidity isn’t."[48]; "There doesn’t need to be support, only common sense and logics applied here."[49]) but no sources. I opened a talk page discussion and referred to it in increasingly detailed edit summaries (latest: "per Talk:Morana (goddess)#Claim of equivalence, rmv unsubstantiated claim in breach of Wikipedia policy WP:OR that Irish prophetess Cethlenn is equivalent to Morana, goddess of cold, frost, winter, death, and agriculture") but IP hasn't engaged and has persisted, merely no longer trying to justify their edits in edit summaries.[50][51][52]

This is considered a mid-importance article to UK history, but being historical, doesn't require to to the minute editing, yet will still attract a degree of vandalism, as it is likely accessed by school aged children doing research.

For a Lost Soldier

Reason: A user called "Wickedjacob" recently botched the plot, the summary and even the cast list by exchanging several details for false facts (e.g. exchanging the description of a particular scene for a weirdly-worded reference to a different scene which takes place later in the movie, removing the part of the summary that mentions that both main characters are explicitly portrayed as being each other's first boyfriend, and obviously trying to stress the c. three-year age difference between the portrayed couple by turning the two teenaged characters into a "child" and a random "soldier" of no particular age group.

Unprotection: This is now a notable term even though it may not have been back when the page was protected last in 2012. There is currently a request at WP:AFC/R to create this redirect, and the create protection will either need to be removed, or an admin will need to accept the request. Thanks! :).

Roseau

Reason: At some point last year an anonymous editor changed the population counts in the article Roseau without providing a new source. As a result, the numbers, purportedly for 2023 population, became "sourced" by the 2011 census data where the population count is completely different. This fictitious combination then found its way to at least one other language. When I reverted the edits to the actually sourced numbers, another (or maybe the same) anonymous editor reverted the revert, restored the source-contradicting numbers. Since I cannot discuss this topic with an actual person (the unreg who reverted me made no other edits, so I assume it is a random IP), it seems that a semi-protection is warranted.

This IP user [58] is removing |this content, which is clearly stated in | this source.

This IP user is a habitual Vandalizer, he got warnings on other article as well [62] FoxtAl (talk) 11:49, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
You changed the wording from:
"in development by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) and sub-contractor BAE Systems"
to
"developed between Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) and UK's BAE Systems"
How is that from the entire source, what you brought to Wiki was just "developed between"? How is this an improvement for you to edit war over?
It's a bad faith edit to make it look like it is a joint venture, which it isn't. You also removed the specific "sub-contractor" wording for no reason as well which is what BAE systems is in this case. You also pretended that previous sources didn't count and your change may very well fall under no original research. 88.230.170.214 (talk) 11:56, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
You should've checked the inline citation, [63] which explicitly states that "The Kaan was developed between Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) and Britain’s BAE Systems, as part of a $125 million (£100 million) deal signed in 2017." FoxtAl (talk) 12:02, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
$125 million contract is nothing when it comes to developing a 5th gen fighter whose cost is in tens of billions. It is the project of Turkish Aerospace Industries. It's not a project of BAE nor they have any rights over it.
BAE is not a bigger partner than TRMotor which is building the engine, Aselsan which makes its radars, Roketsan which makes its armament and many other companies. 88.230.170.214 (talk) 12:21, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

@Nthep: Did you accidentally paste a previous response into this request as well as the others? This looks like the only page that you protected. (By the way, pending changes does not seem to be very effective for problems due to unsourced changes because PC reviewers sometimes approve unsourced edits because they aren't blatant vandalism. It looks like several edits were approved prematurely.) Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:14, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protected: No longer necessary. This long-standing protection is not necessary because most registered users hardly vandalize the template pages unless they are at least four days old and ten edits minimum attributed to their account. Consider downgrading the protection, rarely in the future we will encounter a confirmed user contributes harmful changes to this encyclopedia. We will uplift if the behavior is ongoing.

Unprotection: Create protection is blocking acceptance of viable draft Draft:Razorpay which has been copyedited to mostly remove the promotional tone. I believe this meets WP:CORPDEPTH.

I would hesitate to lower protection from semi-protected simply because it seems an obvious target for vandalism, which is why it was protected to begin with. Being a redirect, I can't see a lot of editing from IPs being an issue. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 12:03, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Sweet Baby Inc.

Reason: the current story on that page is a one sided narrative. it is confirmed and documented that several people working at this company targeted multiple individuals for simply disagreeing with them. the steam curator group got greenlit by the Steam platform themself. even after they where put up for investigatioon for possibly breaking code of conduct. i don`t think Wikipedia should allow such forms of documenting. stuff like this makes the website untrustworthy, and creates an easy platform for people to start hating the other side without knowing what is going on, since users don't get the whole story this way Teazra (talk) 10:29, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism from multiple IP addresses FoxtAl (talk) 23:44, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Comment: this clearly isn't vandalism. It appears to be a content dispute, where an IP has attempted to initiate discussion on the article talk page. Why has that not been responded to? AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:55, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
First of all, there's multiple IP addresses are involved in. Secondly, none indicated in edit summary that a discussion has initiated in talk or progressing. Thirdly I've conveyed the reason for adding the content in a previous edit protection request here, to the first IP address involved - [70]. As it is IP users are involved, I don't know how can we go ahead with a meaningful discussion (can they be pinged? Do they get notifications?) FoxtAl (talk) 00:10, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Blackout (Britney Spears Album)

Reason: This applies to specifically to this redirect. The protection was made in October 2007 during what seems to be a content dispute over the subject's name that was rendered moot within the same month, if not over 16 years later. The administrator who made such protection was desysoped in 2017 for inactivity. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 00:43, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

@Brainulator9: There are no main space links to that redirect. Why not simply delete it? ~Anachronist (talk) 00:53, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
@Anachronist: WP:CHEAP. It's easier and less controversial to just unprotect it than send it to RfD. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 01:12, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
@Brainulator9: That's a non-sequitur, and doesn't answer my question. Protection status is irrelevant to WP:RFD, which can be done anytime. In any case, I have reduced the protection to ECP, which wasn't available at the time this was full protected and likely what the administrator would have used if it existed. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:17, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

See also WP:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:Softlemonades_reported_by_User:Cambial_Yellowing_(Result:_). Softlem (talk) 22:08, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Given the cause of the disruption on the page is your own edit warring over multiple issues, Softlemonades, not only is this request bizarre, but protection is unnecessary. If you want to prevent further disruption, the appropriate thing to do is for you to stop doing it. Cambial — foliar❧ 23:07, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
Consensus on the page is that I did not edit war. After I requested you started repeating edits [83] that you had a page block for [84] before Talk:WikiLeaks/Archive_8#Improper_editing
And you are not answering questions about your edits on Talk and broke WP:SUMMARYNO so I asked for protection Softlem (talk) 23:50, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
That isn't a "repeat" of an earlier edit, and your claim about WP:SUMMARYNO has no basis. You've made three or four more reverts since that discussion, and your warring over practically anything is becoming a problem. I've responded on article talk, which you know to be the case because you've engaged with my responses to questions. Please don't lie about other editor's actions, here or anywhere. It's rude. Cambial — foliar❧ 00:19, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Ordinarily I would grant a few days of full protection for you to work it out on the talk page. But based on the above and what I've seen of you two at the ANEW thread this started, I doubt very much that the two of you alone will be able to do anything more than further butt heads for that time.
You both need to have other voices in this so that consensus can be clearer. If it keeps going the way it has been the only option will be long blocks from this page. Daniel Case (talk) 04:28, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
I suggested this and Cambial ignored me then started a new discussion on the Noticeboard after you posted this but did not notify.
And he is still making disputed edits [85]
You've made three or four more reverts since that discussion, and your warring over practically anything is becoming a problem. You are repeating edits that were discussed before and you had no consensus for. You were blocked for making them and edit warring. So when you repeat those edits, I revert and ask you to engage on Talk.
I've responded on article talk You responded but didnt answer basic questions like why do you think its contentious? You did make false claims about consensus [86] to justify them. This includes edits that caused a block from the page for last year but you wont stop editing and engage or give answers supported by policy
your claim about WP:SUMMARYNO has no basis. So you didnt add new things in edits that said nothing about it? [87] Softlem (talk) 11:05, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Lee Chong Wei‎

Reason: There are always some unknown IP addresses that will consistently vandalise the page to create multiple edits, making it difficult to rollback the changes. These unknown IP addresses have been doing this for years so that he/she can add this liner "Widely regarded as one of the greatest badminton players of all time" to the article even though that liner breached the wiki policy (see WP:OR). As seasoned wiki editors, we have repeatedly highlighted this to the perpetrator but he/she refused to stop.

Forrest Galante

Reason: This page was granted semi-protection until June 20th but is persistently still facing erroneous edits with highly questionable sources (including negative editorials against the subject). As the efforts to revert these edits back to proper practices with the biography of a living person have resulted in somewhat of an editing war, it may be necessary to elevate the level of protection on this article at least temporarily. Efforts to resolve the disputes on the Talk page have proven futile, with it eventually bleeding over into corruption allegations in the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard. Rather than have things devolve into personal spats, a higher level of protection may bring a more equitable solution to the issue. Ravenandadove (talk) 07:12, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Re: 'Efforts to resolve the disputes on the Talk page have proven futile'...
The content issues described above have not been discussed at all on the talk page for Forrest Galante. At the time of writing there has been no attempt there to reach any kind of consensus on any of those issues. The user above simply wishes the article to be in accordance with his own view and to prevent other editors from reverting him (some of whom are very experienced editors pointing out obvious issues in his editing such as breaches of WP:RS).
Also, see the relevant discussion at WP:COIN where the user above incorrectly categorises good faith editors who disagree with him as vandals and trolls.
I'd therefore suggest that this request be declined out of hand. Axad12 (talk) 09:01, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

I've gone back and forth on this and ultimately I'm unwilling to do so.

Christchurch mosque shootings

Reason: It has been almost 5 years since it happened. It will still get the occasional vandal edit, but I think it will be managed and allow more editors to expand on the article. If it turns out that IPs are vandalising it too much, I think protection can be re added very easily. Kiwiz1338 (talk) 13:07, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Not unprotected. I agree, this doesn't seem like a candidate for unprotection, especially since the edit filter log shows more recent disruptive activity. The talk page isn't protected, so any editor who cannot edit it in good faith can always make an edit request. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:25, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Saira Shah Halim

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because it was protected from creation 7 years ago for repeated creation back then and the last AfD was 8 years ago. Since then the person has gained a lot of significant coverage (multiple full length articles in newspapers profiling her from 2022 on) to have an article. MrMkG (talk) 06:15, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Not unprotected. Unprotecting it to allow creation would likely run afoul of WP:G4. It would be best to create it in draft to let the community review, and then an administrator can be requested to move it to article space. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:22, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
(edit conflict){{subst:RFPP|d}} Then create a Draft (Draft:Saira Shah Halim), go through AFC, and if it passes AFC, the reviewer will come here asking for protection to be reduced. That is how it is done. Someone had previously started a draft but abandoned it after questions about being a paid editor. If you are paid to create it, or you have any affiliation with them, you are required to disclose this on your user page first. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 06:26, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
No, I am just creating articles for any candidate of the main parties in the 2024 Indian general election where ever I see it's possible to create one according to WP:BIO. She is one of them. MrMkG (talk) 06:47, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent ads from IPs. Annh07 (talk) 12:04, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected., but I will remind you that the edits may be disruptive because they aren't sourced, by multiple IPs, but your reverted at least 9 times in 24 hours, Annh07. Technically, you are supposed to get blocked for that, as the edits aren't vandalism, so your actions on that page weren't exempt and were a bit disruptive as well. Even granting semi-protection (instead of full protection and blocking everyone involved) took some consideration before I did it. Seriously, do not break WP:3RR unless it is clearly vandalism, which is a strict definition. For instance, adding spammy or unhelpful material isn't vandalism, nor is adding unreferenced material. Adding blatantly false info, hoaxes, or "you tha suck" material is vandalism. This isn't a free pass, btw, any admin can still block you NOW if they feel it will prevent disruption.

Talysh assimilation

Reason: Hello, they wanted to delete this page first, and then after editing it a little, now they want to merge it with another article. I ask for help seaving the page in this form, since we are talking here only about the Talysh, and not about the whole of Azerbaijan. Therefore, I consider merging a page with another article to be vandalism and simply ignoring this topic. Aharon Erman (talk) 19:18, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Aharon Erman, in any reliable source that describes the forced assimilation of Talyshis (only Goff describes it wholly), it is described together with other peoples (Lezgins, Ingilois and others).
Who are "they" (I never tried to delete this English article)? And why don't you want to talk to me? With respect, Smpad (talk) 19:30, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
After looking at your edits, I was convinced that you often edit the Talysh, so if you really want to help this people with something as an Armenian, then leave the article and I can improve it later, but as for you, I never had any questions for you and will not be. Just leave this article as is. Assimilation in Azerbaijan concerns all peoples, but here we are only talking about the Talysh. Why don't you improve the article entitled assimilation in Azerbaijan from other sources? Is it necessary to remove the article about the assimilation of the Talysh? Do you agree to save the article? Aharon Erman (talk) 19:59, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Aharon Erman, I plan to write a section about the Talyshшы in the main article Forced assimilation in Azerbaijan. The content will be almost the same as the content in the Talysh assimilation article, so the latter is redundant. Perhaps, as the interest of independent researchers in forced assimilation in Azerbaijan grows, researchers will write so much specifically about the situation with the Talyshis that there will be enough content for a such separate article. This is not a case yet.

There is no reason to fear, the content about the forced assimilation of the Talyshis will not be removed from Wikipedia, but will simply be part of a broader article. With respect, Smpad (talk) 20:09, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Do you want to help the Talysh? But why are you trying to remove the name “Talysh”? Why can’t we keep the article called “Talysh assimilation”? I’m not against you being interested in the Talysh and helping, but my question is why remove the separate name “Talish assimilation”? Why is it not possible to create other articles or supplement the article on assimilation in Azerbaijan? I don’t understand the attempt to remove a separate article about the Talysh and combine everything into assimilation in Azerbaijan? Aharon Erman (talk) 20:29, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
In English, the word “They” is used when talking about something in general. That is, not about someone specifically, but simply about an unknown person. But regarding deletion, they tried to delete the article. You asked why I didn’t contact you? Because I didn’t see this as an opportunity to save the article, I know that your goal is to remove the name “Talysh” and hide everything under the name of Azerbaijan. Although an article on assimilation in Azerbaijan already exists. Aharon Erman (talk) 20:06, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
> "I know that your goal is to remove the name “Talysh” and hide everything under the name of Azerbaijan"
No, it is not my "goal". Aharon Erman I repeat, for example before me there was no word "Talysh" in articles about Lankaran (see [100]). I sympathize with the Talysh people. Please don't label me rashly. Let's discuss everything politely. With respect, Smpad (talk) 20:16, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
No, I want there to be a separate article about the Talysh and Azerbaijan. Because the Talysh live not only in Azerbaijan. If these people lived only inside Azerbaijan, then yes. I want there to be an article about the Talysh separately. Still, there is such a problem. But also to supplement the article about Azerbaijan. I’m not stopping you from adding sources to your article on assimilation in Azerbaijan, but I am against unification and want the article to be titled “Talish assimilation.” Aharon Erman (talk) 20:18, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Is your goal to help the Talysh people? Then leave the article and write about other peoples in Azerbaijan or create an article, but the name Talysh must remain in the title of the article!!! Aharon Erman (talk) 20:21, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

An IP editor keeps on adding more details to the Plot when the rules of a movie summary specifically states that the summary has to be between 400 - 700 words, and the IP editor keeps on adding the edits even when the details were removed. Rangertapper (talk) 01:06, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
@Rangertapper: That is not vandalism. Please read WP:VANDAL and WP:BITE. Notifying the other editor about the relevant MOS should be the first step, ideally both in edit summaries and on their user talk page. More importantly, please do not accuse people making good faith edits of vandalism (also see WP:AGF). Daniel Quinlan (talk) 01:50, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent removal of AfD templates. Requesting a temporary increase in protection to ECP. CanonNi (talk) 10:30, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Declined It is one user removing the AFD template, and they have done it twice, and they have been adequately warned. A third time will just get them blocked. We don't protect for one bad user, and since it is at AFD, any protection might prevent any efforts to improve it. Also, EC is never used for this kind of case. I added a note on their page which should convince them to stop. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 10:36, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: Used on basically every template page.

Already protected by administrator Mr. Stradivarius. At template-editor level since 2014. Daniel Case (talk) 03:21, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
@Daniel Case Yes it is template protected. What I was commenting is that a template that has almost no reason for anyone, even template editors, to edit, and that is used on almost every page in Template: space and every page in Module: space, should probably be fully protected instead of template protected. It is also used in the MediaWiki interface, and templates used there are also fully protected. For the same reason Template:Blocked text and Template:Protected page text are fully (not template) protected. Awesome Aasim 03:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Dead Internet theory

Reason: High levels of IP "vandalism" ignoring the talk page. The page trends on social media and YouTube, and often goes viral. The sources we have use the word "conspiracy theory," with explanation, but this is not necessarily how it is used in these viral posts. I have posted to the talk page explaining this, and created a section requesting input on getting sources to resolve this by making a section to reflect the "new" use of the term. Reguarlly, I have had to revert IP users that change the lead section, and semi-protection until such a time as we can make a section addressing their concerns with reliable sources might make this problem less disruptive. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 17:28, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GeogSage - since this is very slow-moving disruptive editing, and appears to spike during periods when the article trends, I'm not sure three days semi-protection will have much of an impact. However, given the limited protection history on this page I don't think we can immediately apply the longer term protection this will probably, eventually, need. So maybe this is an imperfect starting point. Hopefully it will mitigate the situation but, more likely, you may need to come back here again. Chetsford (talk) 19:33, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Vietnam Restaurant

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. --Another Believer (Talk) 20:06, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

+1 Reason: Updating to clarify misconceptions with restaurants with similar names with initial post to note that the first Vietnamese Restaurant opened in Philadelphia, PA was in 1977 by the Tran family called Vietnam Restaurant. The first restaurant should be noted. There are numerous articles from 1977-1982 in The Philadelphia Inquirer, Courier-Post, and Daily News that mentions this restaurant, Vietnam Restaurant that was owned by Guong Minh Tran and his wife, XuanLieu Thi Nguyen. The original owner has already passed but their legacy should live on as they were the first Vietnamese immigrants that established what is know as Little Saigon in South Philadelphia today.

Guong Minh Tran and his wife Xuan Lieu Thi Nguyen opened the restaurant to share their culture with the community from 1977 - 1982. They owned a small restaurant at 742 Christian Street and later opened a larger one at the corner of 901 South 8th Street before selling the restaurant to open the second Vietnamese Market called Cho Vietnam/Vietnam Market. The current Vietnam Restaurant is not the original and has used the same name in 1984. Tran19147 (talk) 20:22, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

  • The fact that it is declared "mature" and "bug free" (on the template itself) makes me think protection should be kept, as there doesn't appear to be reasons to make it easy to edit, and perhaps good reason to keep it from inexperienced hands. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 04:30, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
    @Dennis Brown How about dropping to "extended confirmed"? This module isn't particularly high risk, but if it is "rated for general use" and "bug free" then maybe extended confirmed protection would be more appropriate. I am surprised this module isn't being used more than I initially thought when I saw the protection. Awesome Aasim 17:40, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
