Talk:Brexit Party

Temporary semi-protection: Multiple disruptive edit requests from ip address. This is Paul (talk) 01:31, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Talk pages are usually only protected if there is extreme disruption from multiple accounts to maximize the ability for people to contribute thoughts. Looks like there's only one IP being cantankerous; an individual sanction (like a block) would work best if this continues. Airplaneman ✈ 03:54, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Arnold's Bar and Grill

Temporary Semi-protection: Repeated removal of tag by an IP. I believe this IP is Bigcurl254 as that username was created when an IP doing major edits wanted to upload photos and was required to create an account, and that they've since been automatically logged out and haven't been forced to log in since to see that we've been leaving messages on talk pages. Semi-protection will force them to log in, which I hope will mean they'll see their pings and messages. Requesting a week, as this editor edits only sporadically. valereee (talk) 10:10, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. MelanieN (talk) 17:55, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, thanks anyway! If the IP continues to revert, I'll go ask for a temporary block! I'm actually supposed to go to lunch there next week and may be able to see if it's an employee doing the editing. valereee (talk) 18:58, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: High level of sockpuppetry and IP vandalism. Jingiby (talk) 17:05, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jingiby is making threats and reverting plain facts with no reason given. Look at the article's history. He/She is the one who started edit-warring several days ago, with no apparent reason. He/she, in a clear example of Wikipedia: I just don't like it is preventing other Users from stating plain facts (e.g. where the person in the article was born). He/she is behaving as if the article is his/her property; not a very constructive or consensus-seeking behavior. Also note that User:Jingiby has been blocked from editing many times by administrators, as you can see in his block log, for reasons such as "nationalist trolling". 2A02:214C:8023:FA00:CDEB:38C8:93C4:3A71 (talk) 17:32, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gua sha

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Dynamic IP(s) on the rampage. Alexbrn (talk) 09:39, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. I've blocked the IP range 183.90.37.0/24, which should resolve the issue with disruption there. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 09:57, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Oshwah: Unfortunately, that range wasn't wide enough. The editor returned with different IPs and the 183.90.36.0/24 range has now been blocked too. However, these are all Singapore Starhub Mobile IPs, which are in a very wide range (183.90.32.0/21) so I think it's likely the user will still be able to return with new IPs unless the /21 range is blocked, but would cause plenty of collateral damage. I think page protection is a better option. Deli nk (talk) 13:51, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Deli nk - Stand by, I'm taking a look... ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 13:53, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Deli nk - Damn... I knew that 183.90.32.0/21 was the range of the network, but I noticed that the disruption was only coming from the range 183.90.37.0/24. I thought that blocking the /24 range would fully contain the disruptive IP hopping; apparently it didn't. I've extended the block to 72 hours and for the IP range 183.90.32.0/21. Sorry that my initial didn't stop the problem... this block should be better. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 13:56, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kalanga people

Semi-protection: This is a page I request semi-protection for a few months back because of someone who appears to be from this ethnic group adding information that had A LOT of POV. It appears the protection went away in early December and that someone came back a few days ago (February 7) with a similar kind of editing as before, putting all kinds of irrelevant and biased/POV wording in the opening paragraphs of the page not at all consistent or standard for these kind of pages on wiki. First, the page needs to be protected and then it needs to be reverted back to the version prior to the semi-protection being removed. The problem editor seems to be one Mlambo1975 who may or may not be MmeliMoyo who was responsible for the last semi-protection being put into place. Criticalthinker (talk) 11:54, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - The recent back-and-fourth edits suggest a content dispute. Semi-protection would also have no effect on Mlambo1975, as the account is confirmed and can edit semi-protected articles. Issues and discussions need to be started and brought to the user directly, and proper dispute resolution protocol applied. If edit warring begins, file a report at AN3. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 12:04, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Name articles/Disambiguation pages

Temporary(6 months) pending-changes-protection: Repeated cycle of reverting and/or undoing vandal edits. The vandal edits are coming from unconfirmed accounts and IP vandals. Some of these pages were protected in the past at least once or more times, thus the 6 months suggestion. This trend can be seen going for a long time, sometimes as even as far as the last 500edits(or more) or since the last page protection expired on some of those pages(what ever is happened first). Being that these are article and disambiguation pages of names, they are also a prone target to vandalism. The pending-changes-protection is due to the fact that the vandalism is not extremely rapid. Aceing_Winter_Snows_Harsh_Cold (talk) 23:50, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. These pages were vandalized only once and haven't been edited for many days. We don't protect each article due to only one instance of vandalism; warn the users responsible, and if they repeatedly engage in disruption, report them to the proper noticeboard for action. Striking out ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:44, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The name pages get many edits from unconfirmed users and most are bad. If you go through them, you'll find over 75% of the non-autoconfirmed edits to such pages are unconstructive. It's not one instance of vandalism. It would probably be good policy to put indefinite pending changes on all the name disambiguation pages. Enigmamsg 00:56, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Oshwah: "These pages were vandalized only once and haven't been edited for many days."(Oshwah) And what is the purpose of Pending Changes page protection? It is not uncommon for pending changes to be used on pages that have low edit rate. Take a look at the history of Jam (disambiguation), Dong, or Box for example. The fact that it only gets edited every 15-30 days is not the point. Every edit 15-30 days being vandalism and/or a (undo and/or a revert) is the problem. FYI I found these pages by looking at the history of other pages like James and Justin, and looking at the history of the editors that got their edits reverted. I am not even sure that admins are understanding the purpose of Pending-Changes. Take the page history of Black for example. If that is considered worthy of pending-changes, then what is the use for regular-semiprotection? That page is indef pending changes, and gets a vandal edit almost everyday. Now look at the history of the page White, it almost had the same vandalism rate as black, but the vandalism stopped after semi-protection. I am not arguing, I am just asking why is this pattern of revert-vandalism-revert-vandalism-revert not a valid reason for pending changes?

Termo-status (talk) 14:28, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I was the one who implemented the current semi-protection, so I'd like someone else to decide if the semi is still adequate or if the article now needs extended-confirmed protection. (Full protection would surely be overkill.) MelanieN (talk) 00:48, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@MelanieN: I looked at this, and I believe it is User:Bedfrog who is inserting material not supported by RS, and moreover the material is controversial as it alleges malfaisance, naming specific living persons. A difficult situation as the rest of the article is extremely thinly referenced. Elevating to ECP could be an option if this continues, but policy suggests a block should be preferred as long as a single user is involved, which, as long as the semi persists, may continue to be the case. I have left Bedfrog a warning to this effect. Given that there is still heat in this situation, may I suggest the semi be prolonged? Best, Samsara 05:24, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you all for your help with the article =). Unfortunately, edits continue to take place despite the warning. Termo-status (talk) 12:09, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Samsara and Termo-status: The semi-protection does not help because the problem user is autoconfirmed. We could raise the protection level to extended confirmed, but I agree it's better to deal with the single user. They repeated their insertion despite your warning. I gave them a final warning. If they do it again, I may be offline, but any admin that sees it should block them. As for prolonging the semi, let's wait until it expires and see what happens. -- MelanieN (talk) 15:42, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Low Moor railway station

Semi-protection: Half of the last sixteen edits to this page, over the last month, have involved the addition of a comment that the station has no service to Manchester Victoria; the other half were reversions of those eight by myself, Keith D (talk · contribs) and Flooded with them hundreds (talk · contribs). The station has no service to most of the other 2,500+ stations in the UK, so there is no need to single out one of them. It's probable that the seven IP users and one (recently) registered user, Nellis1999 (talk · contribs), are all the same person; it's possible that this person desires that a service be introduced, which would be against WP:NOT. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:12, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite extended confirmed: Arbitration enforcement – This article is related to Arab–Israeli conflict. Banana19208 (talk) 13:46, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: @Banana19208: I believe it was in 2017 that we had someone step forward with a whole long list of these, and iirc we eventually just said no to them because they weren't actually cases in need of attention. I don't wish to discourage you from bringing cases where you actually see disruption, but then please help us a little bit by pointing out specific edits that were disruptive and had a PIA flavour to them. For instance, I earlier EC protected Sinai Peninsula because it had this recent edit, which to me suggests there is the kind of problem that the ArbCom decision is trying to address, and therefore it's in the spirit of that decree to raise the protection to extended confirmed. But I don't yet see that being the case for some other articles that have been nominated for the enforcement. Samsara 15:17, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Accession of Macedonia to NATO

Temporary semi-protection: There have been persistent good faith/vandalism additions to the article, both in terms of moving it to Accession of North Macedonia to NATO, replacing 'Macedonia' with 'North Macedonia', and adding a date for the ratification of the accession protocol by Greece despite there being consensus in the talk page to add it only after it has been deposited with the US government. There is currently an RfC being discussed to update WP:NCMAC but ArbCom has stipulated that the current NCMAC is still in effect until that happens, and so the article should remain unchanged.

Semi-protection: vandalism by IP and new users after the end of the last protection (three days ago), please watch this--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 08:59, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Luke Stark 96: Hi Luke, I noticed that pending changes was enabled on this article and wanted to make sure you know what that does, as many users may not be aware of it. You can see that it's active by a different appearance of entries in the editing history - usually the "good" edits appear in blue. What it also means is that edits from IP and new users get held in a queue and will not be visible to the public until a more experienced user, like you or I, accepts them. So when pending changes is enabled, it doesn't matter whether you are online and revert the change immediately, you can just revert it when you next log in, and nothing bad will happen in the meantime. Does that help? Samsara 10:50, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of expeditions of Muhammad

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism and reverts by different users over the years disputing consensus versions of the article.

An edit war is brewing. Currently there is a request for comment about censorship in the talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad I suspect there will be an impending edit war soon given the history of the article and predisposition to requiring admin intervention and bans to prevent revert wars many times before. Can a mod please protect it from edits. --Misconceptions2 (talk) 13:31, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Applying semi-protection would have no effect on the accounts involved with the recent back-and-forth reverting, as they are all accounts that are confirmed. If edit warring starts to begin, file a report at AN3. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:25, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hhkohh, Wikipedia:Protection policy#Protection of templates, which is a policy, does not mention extended conformed protection of templates, and my understanding of the spirit of the policy is that the extended confirmed protection was introduced for articles. I will not object any administrator overruling me and reducing protection to extended confirmed, and I will welcome any clarification of the policy, but I would not be willing to go against the policy unless absolutely necessary.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:01, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
To concentrate on the template this was requested for....after looking through the editing-history: that was one instance of blanking by a rather new-user, which might easily be ascribed to being new. Tbh, I don't see the need for protection for this template at all, but if it is protected, I would go for template-protection. And he actually reverted himself in less than 5 min.

Pinging @Bearcat:, the protecting admin. This was protected as a repeatedly-recreated article that had been deleted back in 2016 via AFD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Luca Padovan). The actor may be more notable now, I suggest you consider drafting an article in your sandbox etc. If you want it to be a redirect you'd need to suggest to where a redirect should point. Fish+Karate 10:23, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The target was You (TV series), so I've created the redirect. However, in light of the fact that it was repeatedly recreated as an unsourced article on the basis of his having had one supporting role in a stage musical, the protection is still in place in the meantime. Fish+karate is correct that this does not preclude him ever being allowed to have a Wikipedia article — if you (or somebody else) wants to take a stab at writing a new article which makes a stronger claim of notability and reliably sources it better, you're welcome to try that in draftspace. That said, just a reminder that NACTOR is not automatically passed just because an actor has an IMDB page which verifies that he's had roles, the way a lot of people on here seem to think — it still requires evidence of reliable source coverage about him in media.

Sorry, when I encountered this page I wasn't aware that the country had been renamed, so it looked like a flare-up of the tenision what have previously existed over that country's name. Hence the protection.
I will now unprotect it ... but I do urge all involved to stop rushing at this. It would be much better to establish a consensus on how to proceed. There is discussion underway at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Macedonia)/2019 RFC about an RFC, I urge all involved to get that RFC going.
Please remember that discretionary sanctions apply to this whole topic area. So less haste, less WP:BOLD moving and editing, and more consensus. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:50, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is no inappropriate haste, there is a concerted effort by various editors to bring various pages in line with both the consensus to move the country page to North Macedonia and the reality on the ground that the naming dispute is over and we can all call the country by its agreed name.

While page protection, by policy, is to be used in a reactive measure and to stop disruption that's currently in progress and occurring at a rate that justifies its application, there are rare situations and circumstances where applying page protection outside of this realm is legitimate, justifiable, and beneficial to the project given the circumstances involved. Given this discussion and the arguments and input given as a whole, there's an overwhelming consensus by the participants that the semi protection applied to the article by WJBScribe was for reasons that fell into one of those rare circumstances where its use outside the realm of being reactionary was appropriate and warranted, and that the semi protection currently applied to the article should not be removed. Hence, I am closing this discussion and declining the request for unprotection and due to the consensus reached. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 05:20, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously. The amount of disruption over the former subject is staggering. AfD's, ArbCom, admin's driven off Wikipedia. Probably the most damaging series of events in Wikipedia's history. Most of its been hidden. But if you search in the Wikipedia namespace for this name, you'll find enough to curl your hair. And yes, that legacy is the past disruption that justifies create protecting that page for this long and semi protecting that page now. That's why so many people still watch that page more than a decade later. Dlohcierekim (talk) 23:24, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Noting with disappointment that @Samsara: opened this discussion seeking to overturn my protection of the article without (a) notifying me by ping or on my talkpage and (b) without setting out the full explanation I had given for the protection on my talkpage. The reasons given in this unprotection request fail to mention the problematic history of this page and could have had an unfortunate result if those responding to it had been newer users who were not been aware of that history. For ease of reference, I reproduce the central part my explanation for the protection (thank you @Dlohcierekim: for linking to the discussion):
    "I'm familiar with the general policy against pre-emptive protection, but I don't agree that this is pre-emptive. An article of this name has been the subject of sustained problematic editing and the protection is justified on that basis. The move protection is in effect just a continuation of my salting of the page post deletion, designed to prevent recreation of the article about the former subject. The semi protection is intended to reduce the chance casual reinsertion of material about the former subject, or a wholesale rewriting of the article. The protection is not speculative, it reflects my assessment of the particular risks posed by this article in the context of its wider history. In response to your point, leaving the page unprotected has already proved infeasible. The fact that the page history of problematic editing has been deleted, moved and oversighted does not mean that it should be disregarded when considering appropriate steps to protect the subjects of BLPs (and/or, for that matter, Wikipedians)."
    I stand by the protection, especially in light of the incident on the talkpage, and believe it would be reckless to unprotect. WJBscribe (talk) 15:55, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Do you acknowledge that the more discussion this takes, the worse it's likely to get, and that if you had simply never protected the article, it might still happily be sitting there, just as it did for the first 37 hours? Samsara 16:03, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't. The thing to do was to not create this unnecessary drama. To just accept the reasons given and move on. In fact, I think the thing to do now is to leave it be. Dlohcierekim (talk) 16:09, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The A in PIA does not stand for antisemitism, it stands for Arab. Therefore, PIA refers to a specific regional conflict, and not antisemitism in general. As an example, antisemitism is not EC protected even though it is a highly visible page that has been disruptively edited in the past.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I'm trying to rework this article (Taiseki-ji) into at least a reliable and readable reference; however, one or two other editors persistently revert changes to their preferred wording, which is frequently semantically inappropriate or ungrammatical as well as in many cases erroneous. To no avail I've attempted to communicate with these editors through embedded comments because they work anonymously and always with different IP addresses (making discussions via their talk pages impossible). I'd appreciate it if an Admin could make the page uneditable by unregistered users till I can at least whip it into shape and provide some citations.

Bernie Sanders

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Bernie Sanders, independent, declared today he would seek the Democratic Party nomination for US President in 2020. RSes still (for now) refer to him as an "independent", but different registered editors have been changing the infobox to Democrat and back again all day. A discussion is underway on the talk page. A short (24-48hr) full PP might help that discussion proceed without making the page unstable. Thank you. Leviv ich 00:25, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Although it's tempting to request indefinite since this IP range seems very unwilling to give up their tendentious editing.

Fully protected for a period of 24 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I don't think it's vandalism, I think it's someone with a conflict of interest trying to whitewash the article. Possibly Ched Evans himself? In any case, it's disruptive but not vandalism - you can't prove the IP is deliberately trying to deface Wikipedia from their point of view. Don't be a dolt, stop and think.

This is a high-visibility article (110,000 views in the last 30 days counting the name it was just moved from) and it seems to attract a lot of middle and high school student IP vandals, unsurprising given the topic. If it's indefinitely protected we can hopeful avoid this vandalism. Chumash11 (talk) 14:24, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Long term vandalism on Shakespeare play articles

Short version: Requesting semi-protection (would prefer indef ECP, but my read of the policy doesn't seem to allow that) for these two articles. Wouldn't mind admins watchlisting them either.

Long version:

Someone or ones have a bee up their bonnet about feminist literary criticism of Shakespeare's plays. Hamlet is their latest target (edit summaries given where one was present / relevant):

This is not the first round of this on Hamlet either:

And their last round was on The Tempest:

  • 829870660—feminist critique' removed due to lack of basis
  • 828965292
  • 828950726—No justification, hence no platform
  • 828946232—"Feminist Critique" being promulgated as valid. Zero justification given on why the feminist lens, as opposed to an equally arbitrary 'inanimate objects lens', should be given a platform.
  • 828775824—No justification offered for the incorporation of the arbitrary 'feminist critique'. A lack of amputees in 'The Tempest' would justify the addition of section dubbed "amputee criticism"? Common sense need be applied, unless propagating a biased narrative of course
  • 828737896—To give credence to 'feminist theory' would be to invite any of the innumerable theories that spawn out of a biased outlook. A rather slippery slope.
  • 826792350—Removing content as per WP:FRINGE
  • 826719658—[while reverting to their own edit] Please discuss on talk page before reverting without explanation or consensus
  • 826708064—Removing section irrelevant to the main subject; fringe opinion (also possible OR)
  • 822148611—removing section with little content and relevance to the subject (also, possible OR?)
  • 811092553—Why do we need to know what the far-left thinks about The Tempest? If a Fascist criticism of The Tempest existed, would you let someone add that to this article? I think not.
  • 751716780—This absolute garbage! Unbelievable!
  • 751716434—People reading this article don't need to know the opinions of leftist extremists.
  • 738838391—Would a piece of literature encompassing an all-animal cast receive "anthropological criticism"? Case in point, feminist criticism need not always apply.
  • 733661422—Deleted an illogical section. If every literary work *must* contain an equal gender representation, this will clearly limit the degree of freedom that authors possess
  • 716673248

A few more or less random examples from Antony and Cleopatra and Romeo and Juliet:

These all come from a variety of different IP addresses, and have used the accounts ObservingEgo (currently indef'ed by 331dot per NOTHERE) and Arnol Chuarseneger (not currently blocked).

Note that (in the interest of complete transparency), when I previously requested page protection for this for The Tempest the request was handled by Ivanvector who at least initially assessed it to be a content dispute (see discussion at their talk page). I disagree with that assessment: this is either a single POV-warrior using open proxies, or it's meatpuppeting and off-wiki coordination (I'm betting it's the latter). Note that the edits all reflect a very specific world view, are focussed on literary criticism and Shakespeare, and use edit summaries that read like they are different people's attempts to express a common argument articulated in a off-wiki forum somewhere. Note also the variable familiarity with Wikipedia policies: a few edits give pseudo-policy arguments reflecting a superficial or second-hand familiarity with their existence, while some argue without apparent awareness of Wikipedia's policies or practices.

I am now so fed up with this (and the overwhelming stream of unrelated low-grade vandalism at Hamlet) that my preference would be to see both Hamlet and The Tempest put under indef extended confirmed protection (but my read of the policy suggests it doesn't permit that for this case), and range blocks applied to the IPs this is coming from as and when they pop up (given these are quite likely to be open proxies, that would help other issues too). However, even just a stint of semi-protection would probably make them lose interest for a while (until the next round). (Note that while Shakespeare articles are covered by DS due to WP:ARBSAQ, it's for an unrelated issue. This would be something like WP:ARBGG, if anything, but I don't think it applies or I'd have requested a babysitter for the articles over at AE. IOW, whatever remedies are needed here will have to be under the general policy framework.)

It would also help a lot if some admins watched these articles specifically (vs seeing them in a firehose of unpatrolled edits) and was aware of the above context when the next batch of these edits show up (pinging Oshwah, Favonian, Materialscientist who have helped deal with some of the latest batch). Given this is persistent long-term (at least back to 2016, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it long prior to that too) abuse with occasional attempts at misdirection by referring to policies, I'm hoping it might be justified to maybe be a bit more trigger-happy with blocking when edits that match this MO start appearing.

Sorry, Ymblanter! I hope I didn't step on any of your toes! I didn't see that you were looking into this until after I did. I went ahead and applied semi-protection to Hamlet for one week due to the recent disruption, but did not apply any protection to The Tempest due to no recent disruption being currently made, and the disruption listed in this report being from too long ago. I'll leave the rest to you... ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 08:51, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Oshwah: No problem, I was also distracted by smth else and it took longer than it should have taken. I applied an indefinite semi for Hamlet, since I just do not see any good IP edits in any recent history, and the recent disruption was too strong. For the Tempest, I agree that currently there is no evidence we need semi, but I believe the article which gets vandalized on a regular basis could benefit from pending changes, which I applied for a year.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:02, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Persecution of Falun Gong

Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent sockpuppetry – Requesting long-term semi or EC protection due to recent LTA activity. IanDBeacon (talk) 06:33, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I think that this is the most appropriate protection level, since it'll both enable reviewing for edits made to this article as well as leave it open as a "honey pot". Else, the LTA user will simply find a different page to vandalize and it'll take longer to locate, associate as LTA abuse by this user, and move forward from there. In situations like these, it's best to let them keep hitting the same page that we know he's been abusing and can watch, so that the sock users can be reported and blocked quickly. Pending changes protection will assure that nothing changed by the LTA user will be publicly viewable. Perfect solution. ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:42, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing – This page has been subject to a seemingly politically motivated historical revisionist. The disruptive edits may be coming all from one person (SPI just opened today) -- They were originally using a longterm stable account with 600 edits, but then they began to edit-war and got a temporary block, then made a new account, and both got permanently blocked. After a few weeks a third named account made the same edit, I opened an SPI and before it even got looked at an IP address started making the same edits so I know am pursuing page protection as the (presumed) individual would just keep using IPs to pursue their agenda.

Lectonar, Kusma - We should remove the creation protection from Draft:Test and maybe consider creating both pages with templates that designate them as test pages? Either way, I agree in that I don't think that it's unreasonable for users to create pages named "draft test" or "test" in the draft space. In fact, I'd say that it's a good move on their part if they're unsure of how the wizard behaves, what it does, and where everything goes when they click the button. They're measuring twice and cutting once; good on them for doing that, and we shouldn't get in the way or prohibit reasonable attempts for users to do this. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:14, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Oshwah: I did not understand it either, so I restored the one edit that B2C seemed to be referring to and that seemed completely safe and innocuous.

I see no value in restoring all the reverted vandal edits but am not strongly opposed. I think it’s fine the way it is currently, except for my now-distorted edit... —В²C ☎ 15:36, 24 February 2019 (UTC) changed my mind; see below. --В²C ☎ 19:44, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think restoring the page history is the right thing to do - editors should be able to see WHY it was protected. Not restoring B2C's edit is obviously fine. I will point out, however, that we have nodeadline here and since Enigman hasn't been active for the last couple of days I see no reason not to let him have a chance to respond first.

Stitch's Great Escape!

Extend duration of current pending changes protection: The current pending changes protection (which began on January 2, 2019) expires on March 2, but during the current period there have been multiple edits by IP editors continuing to add unverified information regarding the operating status of this attraction, all of which have been reverted. I believe that these kinds of edits will continue to happen frequently after the current period ends. (Side note: Looking at the page's history, I've noticed that most of the IP edits during this period—especially within the last ten days—have been by IPv6 users whose addresses begin with 2601:585:102:12c9:. A number of these edits even add the same unverified "closing" date of January 8, 2018, so it's possible that they were all made by the same person. If an extension of the current pending changes protection period is not suitable, then I would like for admins to consider an IP range block for IPv6 addresses beginning with 2601:585:102:12c9:.) –WPA (talk) 18:51, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How about a semi instead of a range block? In my assessment, the current disruptive load is excessive for PC1. Samsara 19:51, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reduction in protection level: Please remove protection. There is an incorrect redirect to another page and every time someone tries to edit the redirect gets added again. John1512 (talk) 09:15, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand the problem. Can you explain it in more detail? Also pinging protecting admin Dlohcierekim Samsara 13:09, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@John1512: Samsara 14:19, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Samsara: Looks like IPs are trying to split off "Trail camera" into its own article, which is currently covered as a subsection of "Remote camera". I don't see how you could possibly consider that redirect to be "incorrect", even if the subject deserves its own article. Also, the attempt at creation appears dubious, because the only sources they're using are spam links, so it looks like a poorly-disguised attempt at spam. Good protection by Dlohcierekim. ~Swarm~ {talk} 23:19, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm actually of a mind to block IWI over this. Reasoning being: (1) they've edited against status quo and insisted, against opposition, that they are right (they should have desisted and sought discussion); (2) there is a recent RfC that suggests that what they are doing would not be supported by consensus; and (3) they've threatened the other user with a block. Samsara 05:23, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Samsara: I initially full-protected, but upon further examination, I have come to the same opinion independently, and have reversed my own action. IWI hosted a formal RfC at the relevant parent article that formally rejected, via a community consensus (not a local consensus), the edit they were warring over on a different article.

Do you seriously think that is going to do anything when whoever is has access to more than one IP, including 47.195.8.229? Simple minded people with access to the tools... Besides that there's someone else with Charter Communications messing with it. I wom't even bother with this next time because I just did more harm than good. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages)Have a blessed day. 13:54, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The disruptive edits in a span of the last 2 weeks came from the now blocked vandalising IP; 47.xxx edited last a month ago... so I advise to have a look at the protection policy....simple-mindedness can be a boon sometimes. Lectonar (talk) 14:00, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not going to argue further about this as it does nothing to improve the encyclopedia, but that Frontier Communications IP is clearly the same person, due to the similar nature of the edits and the geolocation. As I said, I just did more harm than good; now the shared activity that I've been monitoring from one network will be shifted to other networks so that vandalism to obscure articles from DSL ranges can last for six months.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The trailer of Kesari (film) was released recently, and, as expected, the disruption by IPs has started at the Battle of Saragarhi article – the movie is based on the Saragarhi battle.

So this article needs to be semi-protected. Thanks. NitinMlk (talk) 23:33, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: The usual gang of IP drive-by folks who get mad when RT finesses their algorithm/superhero movies do something 'wrong' are ranting about Captain Marvel and angry they can't downvote it on that site anymore, so their firehose is coming this article's way; one good edit since Tuesday (there's also some other guy axe-grinding because his reviews were rejected by the site on the side).

@Huon: Lectonar (talk) 10:00, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have much of an opinion; there used to be zero reliable sources and lots of copy-pasted spam, sockpuppetry and likely undeclared paid editing. That was five years ago. Pharaoh of the Wizards, why not create the stub in a sub-page of your user page and have it moved when it's ready? That might be easiest. Please remember that even stubs need to establish that the subject is notable, though; merely adding a link to the University Grants Commission doesn't do that, in my opinion.

Jackie Walker (activist)

Extended confirmed protection: The article is a BLP on an activist connected to the current "Antisemitism in the UK Labour Party" controversy whose content is more or less strongly connected to the Palestine-Israel conflict (the subject is an anti-Zionist and appeared in the Aljazeera documentary on the UK Israel Lobby) and therefore contains material which falls under the ARBPIA editing restrictions, which include a requirement that editors have EC status. Currently the article is being heavily edited by an IP editor who has ignored requests to leave material strongly related to the IP conflict alone. Apologies if I've come to the wrong place. The article has been subject to the attentions of a sockpuppet in the recent past and the IP's edits look like more of the same.     ←   ZScarpia   12:19, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. I do not see any immediate relation to ARBPIA, and, since the request was not acted on for longer than 24h, I am not the only one, but semi for 1 year (with the prospect of the next one being for an indefinite duration) is justifiable.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:02, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
