List of systems of the human body

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Seeking extended confirmed protection for this page. Extensive amount of vandalism from multiple IP editors, likely due to its basic subject matter and attention. Vandalism is persistent over a long period of time and the factors for it are unlikely to change, so seeking indefinite protection. Tom (LT) (talk) 22:14, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected indefinitely. Edit rate is low enough for PC. Definitely not worth ECP, and there's not enough protection history to warrant indef Semi. -- ferret (talk) 22:28, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I don't know if I would call this persistent vandalism, as the changes aren't blatantly problematic.

User talk:DBigXray

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – I have been getting death threats on my talk and emails lately, fueled by Social media campaign. So a semi of my User talk and User page is merited to discourage sockpuppetry. My Userpage was vandalized yesterday. (see AN thread for context) I believe he is one of the many socks of Biman1989 (blocked by User:Bbb23) as the language of the comment is same as its socks and harassment emails I have been getting lately. Also I will be glad if an admin removes User:Takijeg398 's death threats from my talk page. (fyi User:El C. ⋙–DBigXrayᗙ 06:37, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A Quiet Place Part II

Semi-protection: Roaming IP editor keeps adding unsourced content to the "Cast" section. They are also removing red links in violation of WP:REDLINK despite the figures having the absolute potential for their own articles, likely removing it because they think red links look bad. Emphasis on "roaming", since a previous request only resulted in the specific IP address being blocked. There are now four distinct IP addresses for the editor engaging in this behavior, making talk-page warnings useless (and dubious that they are the kind to engage in discussion). Pinging NJA who blocked one of the IPs previously as seen here. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 19:13, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Doesn't look like any good faith IP editors likely to be impacted and this is across at least 5 very different IPv6 ranges so far. -- ferret (talk) 19:21, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping. As of now it is a bit pre-emptive, which is not what we normally do unless it’s a high risk template. I can accept an argument that it is, so to save trouble I will semi protect for 3 months, N.J.A. | talk 13:44, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary pending changes. ~Nick~{talk} 02:30, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@El C: applied the indefinite Semi-Protection, so we need their input here. However, given that this outbreak is ongoing, it seems like a good idea to make it PC1 to prevent collateral damage by denying IPs who could add important information. — Maile (talk) 02:36, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but I'm not at all convinced that protection needs to be downgraded from semi to pc1. El_C 02:39, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Maile66: I did not apply an indefinite duration — the protection is set to expire on 19 April 2020. El_C 02:40, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Why not Template Editor Protected even as extend confirmed disruptive editing still happened. 07:44, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
I believe template protection is only for technical templates. This template does not require special knowledge or coding skills so it doesn’t apply. Disruptive editing was still happening under extend confirmed protection but it was greatly minimized. The situation right now is getting out of hand. Hayman30 (talk) 08:49, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree in my opinion, this template needs a special knowledge or coding skills. So the Template editor protected needs apply to this template whether it is distruptive editing, minimal pr not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.68.194.161 (talk) 09:23, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is simply not true. Updating numbers doesn't require special skills or knowledge. Most of the disruptive editing is just people not providing a reliable source when updating, this issue can be greatly mitigated with extended confirmed protection.

Question: @Deepfriedokra: I see that you removed some text on 12 January 2020 and I semi-protected the article shortly thereafter. Judging by my comment on article talk (which I can't remember!), I thought there was a BLP issue. There is now a lavisly referenced "Controversy" section in the article with text looking very similar to what you removed. Do you know anything about the topic? Perhaps protection should be declined and the issue raised at WP:BLPN although finding people willing to wade into this kind of topic might be tricky. Johnuniq (talk) 06:41, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq: I really don't know/remember the page. I tend to remove negative BLP that is not adequately sourced when I see it. I learned through bitter experience to never protect the negative BLP version of a page, even unintentionally, and even with what looks like good sources. Without looking at the current version, on principle, if the material is being challenged, I will not protect it. Referring to WP:BLPN sounds a much better idea.Deep fried okra User talk:Deepfriedokra 08:47, 4 March 2020 (UTC) PS.

Temporary semi-protection: High level of what is either IP vandalism or disruptive editing.

Update: Information is no longer being deleted after an IP user added a reference that local officials in Ischgl disputed whether Ischgl was the actual source of infection.

Au5

Unsalt: Hopefully you'll excuse the long justification I have to give for this one. In August 2018, RHaworth create-protected Au5 due to repeated re-creations of a version of the article that didn't meet the general notability criteria or music biography criteria. The relevant discussion, however, failed to distinguish between the article and the person. The article may have been poorly referenced, but the person meets criteria 1, 7 and 9 of WP:MUSICBIO (the quick Google search to check is encouraged).

He is the main subject of dozens of articles by notable-enough media organisations like BroadwayWorld,[1] Dancing Astronaut,[2] UKF,[3] Bassrush,[4] Your EDM,[5] Scene Noco,[6] RaverRafting[7] and EDM.com[8] and has been covered by the Daily Sitka Sentinel,[9] EDM Sauce[10] and Mix 247 EDM.[11] He was featured on the 2014 Walt Disney Records album Dconstructed (as covered by Billboard),[12] was the winner of a 2012 remix contest by artist Seven Lions,[13] contributed music to the 2019 Harmonix virtual reality game Audica,[14] has performed at festivals such as South by Southwest (as covered by Mercury News)[15] and Motion Notion,[16] was featured on Ranker's list of the best dubstep songs of 2018[17] and has released 2 EPs and many more singles on label Monstercat (as covered by Billboard),[18] almost making him meet criterion 5 as well.

I attempted to contact the "salting" administrator, but they are unfortunately inactive, so this is my second course of action, as per the guidance on create-protection. I request that the article be unsalted such that I can attempt to create the page and give it another shot at passing the notability criteria. I've created 160 articles and had none deleted. I believe the above information rather than a full draft article is enough to determine whether an article is permitted at this title. The article still exists on the Spanish and Chinese wikis.

Thank you. · • SUM1 • · (talk) 05:51, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How many more times do we play whack a mole before someone calls an end to this shit? If 19 times isn't persistent vandalism what is? And its 5 times in the last 44 days.

A combo of Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. & Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 04:10, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DeltaQuad, there is edit warring within the past week by both registered and IP editors (so recent disruptive activity), and I'm entirely uninvolved in the content of this article (so I'm not disputing the content either way and dispute resolution isn't really applicable to me). Since the edit warring is directly related to the page subject's caste, I believe WP:GS/Caste applies here, and since discretionary sanctions are authorized by GS/Caste, page protection would be a reasonable enforcement measure. The page has been protected in the past year for this exact issue. I ask that you reconsider this decline. creffett (talk) 04:28, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy to get a second opinion, particularly from @Utcursch:, but Shivambo007 will pass autoconfirmed pretty soon, even without editing and it won't change anything to use semi/PC, but admin protection would be the next step. Given that, I don't know enough about the content - either way, GS & individual user blocks are beyond the scope of RFPP. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 04:36, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-protected talk pages

Reduce to semi-protection: I can understand the use of ECP for controversial topics and pages frequently vandalized by autoconfirmed accounts, but ECP talk pages prevent the vast majority of Wikipedia users from even submitting edit requests. Our protection policy states that "talk pages are not usually protected, and are semi-protected only for a limited duration in the most severe cases of vandalism". This means that ECP talk pages are a violation of Wikipedia policy. Even the ARBPIA policy (visible on Talk:Two-state solution) says that "Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may use the Talk: namespace to post constructive comments and make edit requests". In the case of Talk:Canada Park, the talk page is ECP while the corresponding article isn't even semi-protected. For this reason, I request that all the above pages be reduced to semi-protection, and possibly in the case of Talk:Canada Park, remove the protection entirely or increase protection on the corresponding article. Sanjay7373 (talk) 07:13, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected First of all, just on principle I won't consider a bulk request like this just because of policy wonkery (Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy). Second, you should discuss the individual cases with the administrators concerned first, (@Courcelles, KrakatoaKatie, and MusikAnimal:, all of whom are still active). Third, those protections are all marked as arbitration enforcement actions and cannot be undone on the whim of one admin. If you want to make a case that protection is no longer necessary on individual talk pages and the protecting admin won't listen to you, please come back or come directly to my talk page. If you want to make a case against the use of ECP on talk pages in general, you need to start an RfC. These protections have been in place since 2016, so a quick chat with admins involved might be all that's necessary. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:48, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@HJ Mitchell: I'm not an admin or Sanjay7373, but I did want to point out that the instructions at the top of this page include instructions for mutiple requests and that this request appears to follow that format (all meet the same criteria of being requests for unprotection of extended confirmed talk pages). Clovermoss (talk) 19:40, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Clovermoss: I'm very well aware of the instructions; I was there when they were written. :) My issue here is that these pages were protected at different time by different admins for different reasons, and the proper approach in the first instance is to approach the admins responsible and ask them to consider whether the protection is still necessary. Alternatively, if Sanjay is objecting to all uses of ECP on talk pages on a technicality, he needs to start an RfC. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:47, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@HJ Mitchell: I trust your judgement as an admin (where knowledge of policy is part of the job description). :) The only reason I made the comment was because of the firstly section of your response, and my comment appears to have been unnessecary. I hope you have a nice day and wish all the best, Clovermoss (talk) 19:55, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not against all extended-protected talk pages. Some of them, such as Talk:Michael White (author) were left out. If a talk page is being vandalized frequently by autoconfirmed accounts, then sure, I might support adding ECP to the page. But the pages I listed above seem to have been protected simply because they have to with the Arab-Israeli conflict or other controversial topics. And I also notice that only a few of these talk pages are ECP — some pages which are extended-protected under ARBPIA, such as Jerusalem and Arab-Israeli conflict, do not have extended-protected talk pages, and Talk:Gamergate controversy is only semi-protected.

@CactusWriter, Sulfurboy, KylieTastic, and Bkissin: - since the CW's last edit was on the fourth, I'm happy to process this. However, there seems to be something with multiple drafts, or declined drafts on the basis of pre-existing accepted drafts? I've pinged everyone who has had something to do with the processing side - could you guys clarify, so that if I unprotect, I can be confident the right version will make its way in? Nosebagbear (talk) 13:43, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nosebagbear, Can you clarify what you're asking? I'm unclear what the confusion is. The draft we have ready for mainspace unquestionably passes WP:NFOOTY, if it needs to be disambiguated in someway to keep the protection in place, that's fine. Sulfurboy (talk) 13:46, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Sulfurboy: - the draft you link was declined today by Kylie, as another draft had been accepted by Bkissin Draft:Gabriel Kunda, Jr. which was thus moved to mainspace. They were both made by Vivalionel1, with functionally identical content (interestingly he's half an inch taller in one). Nosebagbear (talk) 13:56, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nosebagbear, Ah, I didn't notice there was duplicates. I suppose as long as one was moved into draftspace then we should be fine. Sulfurboy (talk) 14:02, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a dispute as there is a clear right and wrong here. The figures published by the Times of Israel are clearly not the final results, as the totals are lower than the latest figures on the CEC website (which are given as of 22:51 Israeli time on 8 March). The CEC website also states the final results will not be published until 10 March. Number 57 22:32, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are you kidding me? I don’t listen? I’m literally giving you a source that shows final results from Times of Israel, I looked at the CEC and it says rate of votes counted are at 71.52%, you said that is the turnout. It’s not the turnout, but the most interesting thing is you wouldn’t even want to look at what Times of Israel says. If you provide a source that final results are going to be published on 10 March, then I won’t revert. 98.115.9.16 (talk) 22:45, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well it's on the CEC webpage you've been looking at, but as you only seem to believe the Times of Israel, their site also says "The official results will only be published on March 10." Number 57 22:52, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at the whole issue and am somewhat amazed. The argument to prefer TOI totals over CEC totals does not sustain itself. TOI totals are lower for all parties than those given by the CEC, so if you are really taking it to heart that 71.52% means "rate of votes counted", then that would mean that TOI results represent (under your own account) a count at some point between 60 and 70%. Ergo, CEC results would still be the most updated ones. Even when Hebrew may not be one's speciallity, logic is blatantly obvious here.
I think the issue is settled but I would favour protection if the warring goes on. Impru20talk 22:58, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for finally providing a source to back your claim about March 10th being the publication date, I don’t know why it took you so long for you to provide it, can’t just make claims without sources. Also, the link you provided is not from the CEC, it’s actually Times of Israel, a source that I supported, I guess CEC doesn’t have the information you talked about like when final results are published, perhaps read the source more carefully next time and your allegation about me only believing what Times of Israel is 100% absurd. 98.115.9.16 (talk) 23:08, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Finally providing?? I told you an hour ago that the final figures "won't be published until Tuesday (as stated on the CEC page)". The CEC website does have the information at the top of the page if you actually bother looking. Are you just trolling here? Number 57 23:17, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Finally providing!! I saw perfectly what you said, but you didn’t provide any source to back your claim about Final results on 10 March and I think you are the one just trolling around here. You however don’t read, because CEC does not back your claim about when the final results will be published and it’s quite disappointing how it took you so long to back that kind of claim. 98.115.9.16 (talk) 23:29, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Manual comment: Was the author of AEPL given a copy of AE, because it's remarkable how similar the leads of the deleted and current articles? Looking through AEPL's history, it seems to have been a (successful) attempt to get around the creation protection, so I don't think we should reward it for both gaming the system. I'm weakly against protecting, and agree with Athaenara that AEPL should probably be G11'd like the original. — Wug·a·po·des​ 00:47, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Roots School System

Remove protection from the talk page. Of the two recent admins on the article one is on holiday and the other is de-sysop'd. However being able to create the article page and then finding the talk page protected is a bit of a surprise and should never have happened. The main issue on the article page was probably claims by paid editors and advertising. If your unhappy about the article then by all means send to AfD (If its sent to draft I'd probably end up raising a DRV). Shouldn't ever have a talk page protected and the article page unprotected in all events. This is a possible merge target for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Khadija Mushtaq (3rd nomination) ... but its a long story. Roots School System is the parent of all the semi-related articles and it is little sense not to have it. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 15:50, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of Henry Danger episodes

List of Henry Danger episodes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The current protecting admin of this Nick-related list Samsara has not been contributing since November 7 making them inactive. It has been like this from 2017 nearly three years ago. Unfortunately the article doesn't get un-protected until November 5 which is nine months from now. Instead the duration of protection should be truncated into one week. As for one of Schneider's previous shows the episode guide and main page doesn't show a chance of being un-protected soon.

(Non-administrator comment) After looking at the block log, history and the talk page for edit requests I would recommend letting the block run its course. IP hasn't demonstrated a clear reason as to why the page needs to be unprotected other than the protecting admin currently is inactive since November 7. If an admin feels different I would strongly recommend suggesting replacing semi-protect with pending protection instead of a complete un-protect for this page. Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 00:47, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The disruption in 2017 didn't strike me as likely to recur, and with the series almost over, I don't think it will be as trafficked as at the show's peak, so I think it is an unlikely vandalism target. Still, I've added pending changes for a month to see if things go okay. Being protected for two years is reason enough to try unprotecting. I would guess that 3 years wasn't chosen for a reason other than being a long time in the future. — Wug·a·po·des​ 06:20, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Lectonar: I'm not really the original protecting admin for Jon Jones. As the log said, I was restoring semi-protection made to Jon Jones (fighter) by Horologium, before the semi-protection was effectively undone by a cut-and-paste move (see the log). For what it's worth I don't think high-profile articles about living people should be unsemi-protected without a very good reason, so I would be inclined to decline this request, but if another admin has a different view, they can feel free to unprotect the page anyway. Graham87 07:39, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Flight of Dragons and related

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism: A persistent dynamic IP editor comes back to these articles every so often and makes the same unconstructive edits to plot summaries and release dates. This has been going on for about 3 years. Some diffs: [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [[43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [[56] [57] [58]. Because of the long-term pattern, dynamic IPs, and the fact that weeks or months may pass between vandalisms (though it is clearly the same person), a long-term or possibly permanent semi may be warranted. I doubt a short semi will be effective in curbing the issue. --IllaZilla (talk) 03:54, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Although these edits are persistent, they're not frequent. The last 100 edits to those articles go a long way back (over three years in one case) so the disruption is not bad enough to justify shutting out all IPs and new accounts, especially not permanently.

The section knockout stage has a tournament bracket. The IP seems to randomly edit the bracket and add teams which didn't even participate in the tournament, let alone play in the knockout stages.

Temporary extended confirmed: BLP policy violations – Many IPs changing year of birth, which is referenced in the article as 1975, and confirmed by online birth records check. Binksternet (talk) 02:15, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question: @Binksternet: The birth date of January 7, 1975 is supported by ref 1 but I cannot see any mention of DoB in that. Primary sources should not be used so if there is no satisfactory reliable source, the date should be removed. Johnuniq (talk) 03:01, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The reference says he was 39 in 2014, which is all I am concerned with for this Wikipedia article. I only checked online birth records to see for myself. Binksternet (talk) 03:05, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I missed that. The template (in the infobox) should be {{Birth year and age}}. Nevertheless, the reference is rather weak (they could easily have messed up the age which is just a by-the-way in the article) and if nothing better is available, I would be inclined to remove it as experience shows that persistent "corrections" to a birth date can be an indication of a problem with the data, regardless of what might be found in a primary source. Of course IPs might also be trolling but in both cases, removing a weakly sourced date might be best. At any rate, I'll leave this for others to consider.

McGill University

Temporary extended confirmed: The lead of this article has been subject to multiple edit wars in the last few days, mostly involving inexperienced users. Discussions have been brought up in the article's talk page, however certain users are misinterpreting certain aspects of the discussion/consensus. What prompted the first discussion was whether to include the year the first degree was awarded, which led to a consensus that "firsts" of the university's development post-establishment should not be included, i.e. first degree awarded, first chancellor, first academic unit, first building etc. however one user believes that this encompasses every "first," including the university being the "oldest in Montreal and one of the first to be established in Canada." As such, they are undoing my own edits which include this information, which I feel is important and does belong in the lead (see FA status article, Dartmouth College for one reference I am basing my edits on). Please let me know. Thank you. Jonahrapp (talk) 21:12, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Forza series

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Going as far back as June 2019, an IPv6 user has been editing the navbox to place all the games in the Forza series under one "Games" group instead of the two separate groups, one for the Motorsport for the sub-series and one for the Horizon sub-series. The reason why the series' games are organized into separate groups in the navbox rather than one "Games" group is because it's easier to organize and navigate, both when viewing the navbox and when editing it, and it reduces the size of the template by (based on most of the IP user's edits) 66 bytes. This is primarily from removing the extraneous instances of the words "Motorsport" and "Horizon" in display, which becomes harder to read under the single-group version that the IP user prefers when as group goes back and fourth between the entries in the two sub-series. Yet despite the quick edit summary explanations from myself and TheDeviantPro (who first undid the IP user's edits) as to why the separation of sub-series is superior, the IP user doesn't care and continues to edit the navbox to their preferred "everything under one group" version. –WPA (talk) 23:09, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Summer helene

Create protection: Repeatedly recreated – This and Summer Helene have been deleted three times total since 2017 for advertising and copyright violations, and twice more in 2008. The author who uploaded the page said they are only allowed to post the copyvio advertising bio by the client: "The Bio used was created by her previous publicist and she has asked that we use only that bio." (The fact that they've alternated publishing to these two pages several times makes me wonder if this isn't an attempt to make the repeated deletions harder to spot rather than a mistake.).

Al-Fatiha

Semi-protection: This article experiences an extraordinary level of IP vandalism. As it is the first surah of the Quran and one of the most important ones, it experiences frequent disruptive editing by IP's who inject their formatting errors, POV, inaccurate content, false translations, etc. into the article. Just the last couple of edits are insertions of honorifics. — LissanX (talk) 03:01, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined First, those edits are few and far between, and sometimes the article goes weeks without edits at all. Second, adding honorifics is not vandalism; we can't expect every person editing Wikipedia to know about formatting or our sometimes labyrinthine rules.

Muboshgu, Afaik, there is no way to approve it unless the page protection is removed. I'm also an AfC reviewer and would approve it if I currently could, I phrased it as "may soon" in case another editor came to it first before I noted the protection removed. Sulfurboy (talk) 05:34, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Muboshgu: if it is okay could I recommend an alternate proposal? How about lowering the protection level down 1 step from full to extended confirmed? After looking at the draft so far the two AfC reviewers GSS and Sulfurboy are extended-confirmed. I can watchlist the draft so if it is moved to mainspace by an ECP editor without completing the AfC process I'll move it back and request the full protection be reinstated. As an NPR I wouldn't recommend a complete unprotection given the recreation history. Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 06:32, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In the meantime, GSS has not accepted the draft, so I am with Muboshgu here to wait until it is approved. If what Sulfurboy has said is true, meaning it needs to have protection removed to be approved, just leave a note on the drafts talk-page (or ping me) that it is ready to be moved to mainspace, and I will lower the protection. I have watchlisted. Lectonar (talk) 07:14, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:/sandbox

Indefinite full protection: This template has no reason to be edited. Also protect template:/testcases. PorkchopGMX 11:40, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm leaning decline, but I would prefer a second opinion on this. I don't see how this fits with the protection policy: it's not transcluded anywhere, there's been no edits since 2018, and it averages one page view every 3 days. For low-risk pages like this, if there's no reason to edit them, we just trust that people won't edit them. — Wug·a·po·des​ 20:52, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This and Template:/testcases are not supposed to be transcluded anywhere or edited, but there is a reason to protect. Both pages are a copy of Template:/doc which is fully protected because of the same reason as what i say here: If we protect these pages, it will prevent most editors from making mistakes and creating template sandbox and testcases in the wrong place. Everything is possible but nothing is real... (PorkchopGMX) (t - c) 22:29, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A discussion to fully protect Template:/doc occurred in this 2007 TfD. I think Wugapodes is correct that protection is outside WP:PROT but I would be inclined to protect if at a least small discussion somewhere appropriate (say WT:WikiProject Templates) concluded that protection was desirable. So I would recommend posting again if such a discussion provides consensus. Johnuniq (talk) 02:20, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This to me is an obvious decline. These are just placeholder pages so that users don't actually try to create "Template:/sandbox", "Template:/testcases", etc without entering the subpage or template's name in first. It's not subject to high transclusion, and I don't see any recent disruption that would warrant protection per policy. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:24, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Full-protection: Ongoing story, a lot of media has been generated about this story today. The company's Comms team keep trying to manage reputation by removing content from Wikipedia. The section on "Coronavirus Controversy" has now been well referenced to multiple external news sources now that information is in the public domain, not Twitter, which a previous editor was unhappy about. AdamBlogs who has made a number of alterations to the page, very much looks like an agent of the company and Eoin Kennelly is listed on the Internet as a Director of eCommunications so neither are a neutral source. I do however accept ymBlanters point that Twitter is an insufficient source for referencing, which is why I have replaced those sources with news articles which have come out in the past day. 81.187.190.111 (talk) 23:50, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Boris Johnson cabinet 2 vertical

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Constant edits from IP users disregarding sources without explanation and willingness to discuss. NYKTNE (talk) 02:12, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@NYKTNE: I'm trying to understand what's going on. For example, the template now says Geoffrey Cox is Attorney General for England and Wales yet the latter says it is Suella Braverman, and that is also stated on Braverman's article. I think you are saying Cox is correct but one of the IPs says Braverman. Why are the IPs wrong, and could that be explained at talk, which redirects to Talk:Second Johnson ministry? Johnuniq (talk) 02:33, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnuniq: That's not the repeated edits that do not follow source. It's just an edit that is made in the wrong template - cabinet 2 is not the latest cabinet but cabinet 3 is. The ones that I am referring to are the ministerial ranking. Most if not all sources show that Javid is ranked before Raab but some IP users keep putting Raab before Javid. NYKTNE (talk) 05:03, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @NYKTNE: OK but please explain the issue in advance next time. It would be good if the IPs could be alerted about the issue at least with an edit summary. I see one such summary but it only made sense after noticing the heading "December 2019 – February 2020" at Second Johnson ministry#Cabinet. Johnuniq (talk) 06:55, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP repeatedly removing well-cited factual material about conviction. Toddst1 (talk) 00:29, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @Toddst1: Before the recent activity, the article had nearly 200 words on the person's conviction with another 320 words on other aspects of their life. Given that the subject is not a serial killer, that is undue. Would you really want to prevent IPs from removing 'While serving his sentence at Lompoc FCI, Goldfarb was given the yard nickname of “Larry the Lion”'? I recommend trimming it to something reasonable and posting again if IPs edit war to remove a WP:DUE mention. Johnuniq (talk) 02:43, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Making manipulative edits

Temporary full protection: Konli17 (talk · contribs) making manipulative edits, withouth checking what the source actually states. For example this edit. Even the source states it is against ISIL and it is a fact (Operation Euphrates Shield), this user changes the wording to "In 2016 Akar led Operation Euphrates Shield, the Turkish military intervention in Syria to prevent the Syrian Democratic Forces taking advantage of the retreat of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant." as if Turkey was protecting ISIL against SDF. Second edit, here. "the PKK executed two police officers in their sleep on 22 July." to "two police officers were killed while sleeping on 22 July" and added "Although the PKK denied responsibility" without any source. and this is what the source states: "Two Turkish police officers have been found dead, shot in the head, in an attack close to the Syrian border claimed by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).". The article says PKK claimed the attack, and this user changed it to "denied". Please full protection. This user has similar edits on different pages. Beshogur (talk) 21:04, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I reckon the wording in the OES article matches my edit more closely, and I don't know where The Telegraph gets its information, but the PKK has consistently denied involvement in that attack. This user has a history of reverting without providing edit summaries, and has refused to engage me on talk pages. Konli17 (talk) 21:12, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gotitbro: The most recent IP edit was diff and while slightly broken, it was an improvement on the current Their origins are variously claimed to be Arab, indigenous Sindhi people or from Rajputs. which is missing a word or two ("Rajputs" possibly was originally intended to describe people from Rajput, and the "from" is wrong and perhaps should be "people from Rajput"). Shouldn't "based from" in the first sentence be "based in"? Is there some background of nationalist edit warring that I'm missing? I don't want to discuss the content here—my point is that the article should not be protected without evidence that the IPs are damaging it. Johnuniq (talk) 06:44, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnuniq: If you look at the history of the page, it was stable before different IPs started edit warring there, specifically from the above range (which has other Pakistan specific POVPUSHing in different articles as well). The IPs from the range have been reverted by multiple experienced users in the article but the user continues to edit war [with no attempt at discussion] aided by the constantly changing dynamic IPv6 addresses.

Frankfurt School

''The Frankfurt School page, the Discussion and the Talk are semi-protected so I could not submit this to the editors.

The section on Cultural Marxism is extremely slanted, even in the title of that section (which is not linked in the table of contents) it is referred to only as Cultural Marxism Conspiracy Theory. At the very least, that should be edited to Cultural Marxism, in line with the other headings on the page. There is no mention or discussion whatsoever that Cultural Marxism is a political analysis that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with a 'far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory', although any history of that certainly can/should be mentioned in this section as well.

'You should not discount, refuse to note, dismiss or remove a political theory/analysis, just because it has been mentioned or utilized at some time in history or in some form by a far-right or far-left group or because you disagree with it. Cultural Marxism actually needs its own Wiki page', but I think that's a different story. I likely will be applying to edit this page in a few days or write a separate Cultural Marxism one -- I can't seem to find my old Wiki account, so had to create a new one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mnwaller (talk • contribs) 18:21, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Before the page was protected, anonymous and autoconfirmed editors were editing disruptively. Extended confirmed protection was applied to stop this because no lesser protection level would stop the disruption from autoconfirmed accounts. General sanctions for covid-19 related articles makes me believe lowering protection is not worth the risk at this time, and it should be left to expire on its own. — Wug·a·po·des​ 05:14, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not say anything like "shut up Croatian" (diff) even if addressing a long-term abuser.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing over the last week. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 02:09, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kind Tennis Fan: I don't have time to evaluate this at the moment but WP:BLP articles should not have undue focus on a bad phase in someone's life. For one thing, a subheading of "Substance abuse and legal issues" is just absurd—a heading like that might be justified in a 30,000 word article about someone who had issues for ten years with serious consequences such as causing a death in a car accident. There is an old comment at Talk:Yancy Butler#Substance abuse and legal issues that I hope to investigate later. Johnuniq (talk) 03:08, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Hello Johnuniq. I accept that the title of the subheading "Substance abuse and legal issues" was not ideal. I have now removed that subheading and kept the three sentences in the "Personal life" section. But the content regarding her substance abuse and legal issues has already been substantially trimmed down since concerns were first raised on the talk page in 2018. Following the trimming, the editor Cullen328 stated: "I agree that the level of detail about legal problems and substance abuse was excessive, but complete removal of this content is not justified. Thanks to the editors who trimmed it way back."
Regards, Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 03:23, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for removing the heading. It's still a bit gossipy for my taste but the three sources (mostly celeb gossip pages) show the problem extended over a significant period. Ideally there would be a secondary source commenting on the effect on the person's life but that might not be achievable. I'll leave this for another admin to consider. Johnuniq (talk) 04:20, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Juan Branco

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – This page has a long history of controversial edits by sockpuppets or meatpuppets of the subject of the article. It has been subject of two AfD, the first one closed as "delete". During the second AfD discussion it has been subject of major edits that have transformed the page from a hagiography to an article that respects WP policies. See also Juan Branco#Self-promotion on Wikipedia and [87] (in French).

The page has recently be edited by an IP, and, after a revert, by a WP:SPA, with a clear objective to restore the hagiographic aspect of the page. They are probable sockpuppets or meat puppets of Juan Branco.

In view of this history, an indefinite semi-protection seems the best solution. D.Lazard (talk) 13:55, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree for a protection and a ban on both D.Lazard and XInolanIX. The war they have waged through systematic a reverting method is not acceptable, especially since the modifications they aimed at where restoring a neutral and consensual status that had been reached previously, took into account their own and where systematically sourced. The page, equilibrated in its French version and consensual in both until the intervention of XlnolanIX, has been systematically defamed since a few weeks, in a very subtle but efficient way. Basic biographical elements like studies or employement are being deleted with no reasons, as weel as information coming from primary legitimate sources (Reuters, AP, The Guardian), with no reason.
I wonder about the sockpuppetry indeed, but not in the direction presented by D.Lazard. I suggest that neither him nor XInolanIX intervene on this page anymore and that an administrator implicates itself by looking at the content of the page and the modifications that they have, savagely, tried to prevent. Both contributors assuming to be French, and clearly having an opinion on the matter, the encyclopedia would benefit from them stopping to participate on the matter. Elahadji (talk) 17:32, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Considering the history of the subject of the article and his well documented cases of creating/editing his own page I guess it was only a matter of time until something like this would happen. The aggressiveness of this attempt is still somewhat surprising... I strongly support the request for an increase in protection. XInolanIX (talk) 19:13, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Philroc: I don't think indefinite semi can be justified at this point since the last edit that would have been affected was on 3 March 2020. I can see a fair bit of spam and would semi-protect for a month as a trial, however, what should happen with the current pending changes? I'll keep it if wanted although it can be a small nuisance by requiring acceptance of good edits. Johnuniq (talk) 04:27, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Page is currently protected since 2017 due to repeated recreation. The person has increased dramatically in notability in past years, and I believe he now meets the WP:GNG.

I am willing to draft an article for approval first, but the draft page is also protected. This is my first time requesting a reduction in protection level, so apologies if I have made a mistake. Mukedits (talk) 19:14, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mukilteoedits: I have unprotected Draft:Scott Disick so you can edit it. I interpret the admin-only protection as requesting an admin review any proposed article before recreating the article, so I don't feel comfortable unprotecting the main article until there's some content to put there. — Wug·a·po·des​ 04:49, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Er, no. No. Jesus Christ. Just no. WP:SALT is absolutely not a mandate that only admins have the authority to judge whether an article is acceptable. We are not article gatekeepers, and I encourage you to dash any notion that "admin proposed article reviews" are a thing. They're not. SALTing is merely a temporary page protection meant to prevent disruption. The community is who has the authority to decide whether articles are notable. The most recent community consensus was to allow new draft. So you're right in unprotecting the draft article. But your interpretation of why you're doing so is completely wrong. ~Swarm~ {sting} 07:09, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: In spite of recently closed Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Medicine-related articles/RFC on pharmaceutical drug prices, several WPMED editors repeatedly reinserting text removed, per RFC without adequate discussion.

@SandyGeorgia: Do you mean full protection due to edit war? Johnuniq (talk) 06:18, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, yes, I see this was not a logical request (the first time I have tried submitting via Twinkle, and I did not get it right). Yes, that would imply full protection rather than semi, wouldn't it :) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 06:24, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Just hours after the protection tag was removed, POV pushing returned from an IP. TM 19:43, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. the IP is adding sourced information, and an uninvolved editor on the talk page agrees that the IP's addition is sane. — Wug·a·po·des​ 03:11, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Good when reported but stale now. I warned the user, but post at WP:EWN if they keep reverting. Otherwise I don't think page protection is needed as the edit war seems to have stopped. — Wug·a·po·des​ 00:30, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Return of IP-hopping vandalism after recent end of previous protection. Page has been consistently vandalized despite multiple protections. Why keep doing this? Putwood (talk) 00:38, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(above request created after semi-protection for one year) – A year seemed reasonable, given the indefinite pending changes protection beneath. Feel free to make it an indefinite one. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:54, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected indefinitely. The vandalism seems to return right after protection is removed nearly every time. I think the vandal(s) are looking at the protection log and just waiting for it to expire; Indef discourages them from waiting it out because they don't know when unprotection will happen. With respect to ToBeFree I think indef protection with manual unprotection in about a year is more likely to help the problem long term. — Wug·a·po·des​ 03:54, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Also SpongeBob SquarePants (season 2)- continued disruptive editing and unsourced date changes, including using WP:NOTRS sources. Magitroopa (talk) 20:24, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The recent problems are an edit war that's died down, but there are problems with unsourced information going back a while that justify PC protection to bring more eyes to the article. — Wug·a·po·des​ 03:16, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gotthard Tunnel

Temporary full page protection: Persistent disruptive restoration of unsourced tunnel length contrary to WP:BURDEN. Claim of tunnel length of 15.003 metres, an impossible accuracy in 2020 (the mountain would expand and contract more than that). Best reliable source found claims "approximately 15 km". No serious attempt by user:ZH8000 to discuss on talk other than to post abuse and bludgeon irrelevant policy (mostly directed at the attempt to discuss rather than the article). -RFenergy (talk) 15:22, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
