Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This article needs page protection as this person has died recently, which is confirmed by reliable sources. Some of his followers who disagree with this are removing the "death date". — The Chunky urf Al Kashmiri ^{(Speak🗣️ or Write✍️)} 19:19, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Reason: High level of unsourced information and red categories added by IPs. UnitedStatesian (talk) 01:14, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Kiana Madeira

• Kiana Madeira (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: For the last few days, a mix of IP addresses and newly-created accounts that are only editing this article are added unsourced info (and as far as I can tell, completely false info) about the subject's sexual orientation. As this is a BLP, I feel the page should be protected from that (likely) one person attempting the vandalism. Benicio2020 (talk) 01:16, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:11, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Indefinitely semi protection: Persistent sockpuppetry --- Two usernames is Blue sky 4068 and Green Grass 5584 with 4 digit at the end is similar to sockmaster is in investigation of Rgalo10. [1]172.58.227.184 (talk) 01:19, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:20, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Blp edit warring. Unsourced birth year. Crboyer (talk) 01:30, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Johannes Jacobus Onvlee

• Wikipedia:Johannes Jacobus Onvlee (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: We had a bad experience with the internet. Some people try to edit our page and delete written texts about the person Johannes Jacobus Onvlee. We would like to protect this page because we want to protect the page from vandalism. Johannes Jacobus Onvlee (talk) 01:46, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Note: Relinked page, no explanation or justification for protection... - Adolphus79 (talk) 02:27, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

• @Johannes Jacobus Onvlee: We don’t appear to have a page by this name on English Wikipedia. Are you thinking of nl:Wikipedia:Johannes Jacobus Onvlee? If so, you will have to make a request for protection on nl.Wikipedia as we are unable to do anything for you here. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 02:41, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever

• Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Removal of long standing image on page by edit warring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Scotia_Duck_Tolling_Retriever Scottyten (talk) 02:56, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Comment, fully endorse request for page protection, preferably pinklock or silverlock, the nom is trying to override consensus for a more appropriate image in the article’s infobox (TP discussion) edit warring their own photograph (citation needed)into the article, six reverts in under 48 hours [2][3][4][5][6][7] the first four in a 10 hour period. Cavalryman (talk) 03:28, 2 September 2021 (UTC).

For context this was kicked off by @Gionabalena who replaced the image and it was reverted. Then @Cavalryman removed longstanding image and updated without gaining or allowing time for consensus. Edit warred repeatedly and did not allow for consensus discussions. Cavalryman has entered two Edit Wars within 30 days on this page with different users.Scottyten (talk) 03:55, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose Scottyten is unfamiliar with basic process. There was a discussion and a new WP:CONSENSUS was created. They objected and started an edit war with two other editors. I have also reverted Scottyten who is being tractable and insisting that their opinion (and only their opinion as a long-time breed owner) is valid. Not willing to discuss. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:45, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
  • I actually suspect that if you lock to non-auto-confirmed editors this could go away as I believe that Scottyten is not auto-confirmed. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:47, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Marcelo Bielsa

• Marcelo Bielsa (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Increasing amount of vandalism due to high profile nature of person. In particular, there are two unsightly photos (Marcelo Bielsa 2018.jpg) and (Marcelo Bielsa 2018 (cropped).jpg) from Wikipedia Commons that are continually uploaded as the profile picture instead of sensible alternatives. Upon investigation, these photos originate from Newell's Old Boys official media (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDfHSXvABwo) and their use on Wikipedia is therefore a violation of copyright.

• Ng Yu Zhi (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – various IP editors have been adding unsourced content, generally violating WP:BLPCRIME. – robertsky (talk) 03:23, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Luc Montagnier

• Luc Montagnier (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – COVID/BLP... Protection recently expired and this is at it again. Obviously this disruption won't stop for the time being; at least not until we can bid good riddance to this virus. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 03:47, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
