Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – The semi to cover the period until immediately after ANZAC Day does not appear to have had the desired effect. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 09:17, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected Lectonar (talk) 11:18, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: This page has recently come out of three months of semi-protection, and clumsy edits/vandalism from unregistered users are again a daily occurence. I don't see this going away given the subject's popularity. 08:52, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Mezigue (talk)

Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Lectonar (talk) 11:17, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – 48 hours of temporary protection please. Over the last 24 hours it's been tough to separate the mischief/vandalism from the good edits. I assume once May 3rd is here it will all die down. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:31, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Archcaster (talk) 22:10, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Note: (Non-administrator comment) It's a little awkward to request semi-protection when there's been absolutely zero IP vandalism in recent months, and when your edit to the article is itself rather questionable. --GSK ● ✉ ✓ 22:30, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Also, the user is already autoconfirmed, so semiprotection would not be effective. What about SPI? Lectonar (talk) 17:17, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Acnaren (talk) 09:12, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. McKhan (talk) 01:38, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Also somewhat stale. Lectonar (talk) 17:08, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. GedUK  12:10, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated insertion of false information (not consistent with source given - or other comparable sources.) If nothing else protection should force editor to discuss intended insertion. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 08:58, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. GedUK  12:03, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Permanent creation protection. This part of my former userspace should be protected from creation due to a lack of necessity for it to be recreated. "Backtable" was my identity for over five years, and I don't want the username usurped in order to spare confusion (I made an alternate account with this name to decrease likelihood of this). Mungo Kitsch (talk) 23:20, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Declined, Can't see a good reason to protect it. Username wouldn't be usurped with the talk page history, and protection wouldn't stop an admin anyway, and they're the only people who would doa usurption GedUK  11:53, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Please semi-protect this page indefinitely since IPs keep putting in text like "follow xyz on Instagram".

Semi-protection. This featured article is being subject to vandalism from IP addresses. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:47, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Not done Not an unmanageable amount of vandalism for being a TFA, and nothing in an hour. Michael Greiner 19:16, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Uncited, and what I believe to be false, info constantly getting re-added in an edit war. Namely, two new TV channels which appear to not exist. Digifiend (talk) 02:04, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. PC didn't seem to make much difference. GedUK  11:56, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Theopolisme (talk) 22:18, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. That's quite an IP vandalism storm over the last couple of days, but the article seems usually peaceful. Bishonen | talk 22:37, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Perm-semi or a longer term Temp-semi- An IP hopping edit warrior who has been constantly adding trivia to the article is at it again after the protection ended. Also sock-puppeting from various IP addresses of AT&T and Charter on talk page to make it look like multiple people are supporting his actions and launch personal attacks. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 06:31, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Not done The Burger King article has very little activity to justify protection and the Chicken Fries article needs to have more discussion on the talk page to determine consensus of the material. Protecting the article would be taking sides in this situation when a consensus has not been developed. Mike V • Talk 17:19, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Please reconsider, the IP poster is violating policy by sockpuppetting on the talk page so no valid conversation can be had. The contrib does not have any intention of good faith, truly discussing the issue, adhering to our standards of neutrality, or following any other policy of Wikipedia. Further he is lobbing personal attacks at me instead of discussing the issue. This is tendentious editing at its worst, and the article really should be locked down. I asked for the Burger King article to also be locked because the contrib has actively shown that he will migrate to that article if this one is locked down. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 18:50, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Temporary Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Kairos (talk) 09:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There haven't been any IP edits at all in nearly 2 months. Michael Greiner 18:52, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Pending changes protection might be appropriate for this article, which has a history of frequent IP vandalism, and apparently a relatively small number of editors who watch the page and therefore catch/revert the vandalism. Not sure what level of vandalism is appropriate to trigger such a measure, as this is my first-ever request that an article be considered for protection. Cheers. N2e (talk) 12:44, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined Pending chnages might be appropriate when we have a moderate to heavy Ip-traffic, so to speak, , and the ratio of useful to vandalism edits is not very high. Which is not the case here, as we have some useful IP edits. I will watchlist too, so you will have one pair of eyes more on it. Lectonar (talk) 13:37, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for taking a look at it. N2e (talk) 17:27, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Lost (TV series) (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

Request unprotection. User:Lowercase_sigmabot protected the talk page of Lost (TV series) following a controversial page move made without consensus. I undid the page move to the main Lost page – seeking consensus first before acting again – but, strangely, only the talk page was protected. No reason for the talk page to be protected. -- Wikipedical (talk) 18:40, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Note: User:Lowercase_sigmabot didn't protect anything, they just added the template. Also, protection is on the talk page because it was/is a target of a sockpuppet master. --Michael Greiner 00:49, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

temporary semi protection - the page has become a battleground between those championing the senator's "gun rights" support and those wishing to place her opposition to background checks as responsible for the next mass shooting. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:53, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Before the edits by the last IP, which have stopped after the final warning, there was not enough activity to warrant semi-protection. Lectonar (talk) 07:46, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 07:43, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Perm-semi or a long term Temp-semi - An IP hopping edit warrior who has been constantly adding trivia to the article is at it again after the protection ended. Multiple editors besides myself have removed this, but he keeps reposting. I've tried to discuss this on the talk page and explain why this is inappropriate for inclusion, but the IP poster is sockpuppetting via various IP addresses from AT&T wireless and Charter (all assigned in central Massachusetts and Northern Rhode Island) to make it look as multiple editors are chiming in - a clear violation of policy. Obviously, no valid conversation can be had. The contrib has shown that he has no intention of good faith, truly discussing the issue, adhering to our standards of neutrality, or following any other policy of Wikipedia. Further he is lobbing personal attacks at me instead of discussing the issue. This is tendentious editing at its worst, and the article really should be locked down. I have also asked for the Burger King article to also be locked because the contrib has actively shown that he will migrate to that article if this one is locked down. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 19:50, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

In response to the bot posting, yes this is a repost. I asked the admin to reconsider the denial and the post was archived before a response was made. I have expanded this to explain why the protection is needed and why the discussion is not bearing fruit due to the IP contrib's behavior. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 20:25, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP user making changes to sourced content and adding content sourced to unreliable sources. Using Op-eds such as these[1] for historical statements of fact, And is quite obviously misrepresnting othhers such as this[2] which does not even remotely support the content adde as it has no mention at all of a "A consensus of Russian historians".

Semi-protection: Persistant sock-puppetry by User:Koov. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Koov. TDL (talk) 21:31, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Lectonar (talk) 17:04, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, but did you look at the history? The first article, for instance, has been edited by 5 socks of the user in the past month. Yes the current sock has been blocked, but that only delays the problem for a couple of days until he has a fresh one. He's been socking for 5 years, so it's unlikely he's just going to give up... TDL (talk) 17:38, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
No, I never look at the article histories before making a decision.....that is what makes being an admin so easy......ok, let's get serious: the frequency of the "unconstructive" edits (which are not necessarily vandalism) is not very high, so that would not be a cause for semiprotection, the prospect of having more socking would not be a case for semiprotection because we do not protect preemptively. I see no other way forward but to keep reporting the socks and reverting.....if another admin wants to protect these, they may feel free, of course. Lectonar (talk) 18:07, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Yes, protection is not used preemptively, but I don't think that's the case here. There's a clear track record of disruption that is almost certain to continue unless the article is protected. And right on schedule, another sock has just appeared to continue the disruption. Surely there's a more efficient way to deal with persistent sockpuppetry from ips and newly registered accounts then having to repeatedly revert and file SPI reports (which often languish for more than a week before being dealt with)?

Indefinite semi-protection. Persistent vandalism, as it seems people continually advertise escort services here by adding phone numbers, links to websites, etc. The page is being treated like a bathroom stall. It seems most of the edits in the history of that page are of this type of graffiti-style "for a good time call 555-5555", or reversions of such. The problem seems to be coming from multiple people and as such will not go away in time. A quick look at the history reveals added and removed adverts for prostitutes in Vegas, Texas, Newcastle, and various other places. Other edits are simply vandalism, such as removing paragraphs and sections for no reason at all, or even more obviously by cutting off a section mid-sentence. Anon423 (talk) 22:50, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Permanent semi-protection preferred, but temporary will suffice. This is the fourth request that I have made for semiprotection of this article. For context, Rahul is a common name in India. Since its last unprotection in March, there have been ~18 IP edits adding non-notable, redlinked names to the article, 16 reverts of same, and a small number of other edits. This is no different from the last several times it became unprotected. Here are the past protection requests:

Using sections from her book would be against WP:PRIMARY for sure, and the mention about her departure from the series is already well-covered by the Jet cite.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A dynamic IP in the 108 range is repeatedly reverting good-faith edits, such as removal of nonexistant infobox fields and basic copy editing/removal of OR.

Semi-protection: Over the course of the past weeks, an dynamic IP continues to insert huge amounts of highly dubious original research into this article. While the IP appears to be acting mostly in good faith, there are also edits which can be seen as vandalism - in either case, most edits are not helpful at all in regard to the article. I cleaned up the article after the editor several times, and assuming good faith I always tried to keep as much of his contributions alive in the hope that he would provide sources later on. I tried to explain in edit summaries and on the always changing talk pages why he needs to provide sources (and even gave examples how to provide them in case he doesn't know how) and why certain edits (illogical statements, phantasy words, conflicts with our style-guides) cannot stay at all, and I invited him to create an account, but he seems to make fun of it and continues to add questionable and non-English stuff. Since I don't want to edit-war and my attempts to discuss and help have been fruitless, I think the page should be semi-protected (and ideally cleaned up by someone uninvolved). --Matthiaspaul (talk) 15:59, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

I’m not sure which type of protection to ask for, and I’ll leave that up to the administrator who reads the request. This article has received an influx of edits, from IPs and from users with few edits, regarding recent information that has proliferated in the news. The lead, prior these edits, was developed on the talk page. We are having a discussion now about how to update it given the new information, and in the meantime, we would like to stop POV edits that are occurring. It isn’t possible to revert these changes, as there are too many of them. This is the last version of the article without these POV edits, and prior to my inability to continue reversions.

Temporary Full Protection of my edits on Amiram Goldblum as there is recurring content disputes/edit warring by Soosim and Nataev, the second also admitted direct relation to a person , Steven Plaut who constantly smears Goldblum on his website and blogs. This also includes the introduction of improper sections and use of improper language on the article's talk page, a section ("The article is an autobiography") which is erroneous and defamatory, as not a single fact has been disputed and none that are properly referenced has been proposed. Thus I request to delete that whole section. The Semi protection has helped for a while, but now things are getting heated again רסטיניאק (talk) 08:40, 13 May 2013 (UTC)רסטיניאק

רסטיניאק is Goldbum himself. See the relevant discussion here. רסטיניאק has removed the POV tag twice so far: 1 and 2. Now he wants to get the page protected so that he can have it all to himself. Unbelievable. Nataev (talk) 09:19, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

My sole problem is that Amiram Goldblum has written the entire article about himself. I don't find this subject particularly interesting.

Not done Removal of a prod isn't necessarily disruption. Assuming good faith, it could mean that it is contested. Since then, the AfD tag has only been removed once, which I wouldn't consider significant disruption to yield protection. Also, (optimistically) I think it would be good to leave it unprotected, in the hopes that an IP could help contribute to the article and add some references. Mike V • Talk 00:30, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

In this case it is obvious vandalism, to anyone who has been looking after any Scottish football related pages in the last year. I have update the talk page with some sources proving that Brown has never claimed to own Ibrox Stadium. Brown merely questioned who was the owner, and since then the consortium that own the club have released details proving their ownership of both the stadium and training facilities.

  • Response. By your own admission, the only reason she is notable at all is ** BECAUSE ** she makes political commentary. So then the content of that commentary also has to be relevant. Especially when it gains widespread notoriety. To exclude widely reported and well-sourced examples of her commentary would itself be a WP:NPOV violation. If we censor or challenge the newsworthiness of well-sourced coverage about her, then frankly we should also challenge her notability, and the justification for her even having a BLP to begin with.

    • Normally, based on the frequency of reverts, I'd agree, but as I said, I think the three weeks' full-protection over something policy is very clear on shouldn't have happened (though what's done is done). In my opinion, it would be unfortunate to once again restrict who can edit this article, especially considering that articles on athletes, and MMA fighters in particular, see a relatively high volume of constructive/good-faith IP edits. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 03:41, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

No qualms with the semi-protection, but for what it's worth, the "whole article deletion" was the removal of material from another web site which, while licensed somewhat openly, is licensed in a way not compatible with WP's license. So it was, intentionally or not, the removal of a copyvio. The rest of the history.. well, yeah, no qualms about the semi.  :) --j⚛e deckertalk 03:09, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Temporary full-protection: Considering the recent accusations of "revenge editing" by actual registered editors made on her article due to her criticism of Wikipedia, I'm surprised that her page hasn't been protected: considering the contentious nature of recent events, I feel that the article should be protected from potential vandals until the anger from editors dies down (whether or not she is right is not the issue here), even though Qworty's downfall should have helped to a great extent.

Yes, of course, but if that were meant to be, PC would be applied to every article (which it isn't, as we still are the encyclopedia that every one can edit (and where the edits show :))). Also, pc protection does put a strain on the reviewing user, and the more PC protection we implement, the more strain is put on them, and we would probably end up with people not really looking and accepting the edits without checking (it already happens, btw). And see above, I PC protected the other article...so compare the article histories and frequency of vandalism...one is over the threshold, the other isn't. Lectonar (talk) 09:49, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

'Dear Administrators, this guy Niteshift36 (talk) has been engaged in repeated POV pushing and continues to ignore other editors viewpoints. It must be mentioned that absolutely no consensus was ever reached on these issues pertaining to SWAT teams being considered Police Special Forces. This user continues to push his POV that "SWAT is not a Police Special Forces" unit despite the overwhelming sourced information supporting the fact that SWAT is indeed a Special Operations unit. In addition, Niteshift36 (talk) is trying to use the semi-protection template as a way to block other editors and push his POV biased information onto the page. '

Please take a look at the following sources to confirm that SWAT Teams are Special Operations Forces of the Police:

1.) http://www.specialoperations.com/Domestic/default.html

2.) http://www.cityofknoxville.org/kpd/swat.asp

Dear Lectonar (talk), Thank you very much for your insight and as I previously mentioned, I have provided the above reputable sources that show undeniably that SWAT Teams are indeed a Special Operations Forces unit or Police Special Forces units. I have explained many times to user Niteshift36 (talk) and his gang of friends that if they believe that SWAT Teams are not Special Operations Forces, then they must provide sourced reputable information proving and saying specifically that "SWAT Teams are NOT Special Operations Forces" but they have come up with nothing, not one signal reputable source. And Niteshift36 (talk) has continually ignored me and other editors who are trying to put in correct and accurate information to improve the SWAT article. Niteshift36 (talk) has continued to engage POV pushing and having his gang of friends try and force their unsourced information onto the SWAT article. As for myself, I have taken the extra civilized step to provide reputable sources showing that SWAT is indeed a Special Operations Force, which is undeniable.

Thank you for your intervention! Peace, 180.118.162.203 (talk) 18:13, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Star Wars Episode VII

Hi, can someone unprotect the page Star Wars Episode VII? This was protected by User:Jc37, but Jc37 appears to be currently having a period of Wikipedia inactivity.

There has been a discussion at Talk:Star Wars sequel trilogy#Episode VII page of its own - proposal where the proposal that the Star Wars Episode VII page should be reinstated, and material about Episode VII split out from Star Wars sequel trilogy material onto that page, has achieved consensus among those editors who responded to the proposal. To action this will require the unprotecting of the page Star Wars Episode VII.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP's (probably employees of Suburban Express) keeps removing comments, citing that they are "inappropriate". Amlaera (talk) 14:13, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

I came here to request protection for this talk page as well. There's strong circumstantial evidence that User:Thenightchicagodied is behind the various IPs vandalizing the page. There's a consistent pattern: an IP which has never edited Wikipedia shows up, removes comments on the talk page or leaves offensive comments on the talk page, often accompanied by an offensive edit summary. In the last exchange, User:Thenightchicagodied showed up within minutes of the IPs and left a comment. User:Thenightchicagodied has already been found to have multiple sockpuppets. It's very likely, given the similar style, the same focus on Suburban Express, and the temporal coincidence of the IPs with User:Thenightchicagodied, that they are the same person, or people acting in concert. -Thucydides411 (talk) 17:20, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Long period of semi-protection: Both my talk page and user page have consistently been vandalised by a number of different 92.0.2XX.XX IP address’ in the last few days (5 in total I think: 92.0.230.232, 92.0.224.200, 92.0.236.212, 92.0.227.86 and 92.0.239.1). Two of the IP addresses were blocked for vandalism, but the guy keeps coming back with another IP address. Is there any way either my user page or talk page (preferably both) could be indefinitely semi-protected, to stop IP users editing them? Thanks, VanguardScot 23:18, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
