Sydney

Reason: Edit-warring over lede. Discussion is ongoing over whether Indigenous name should appear in a position of prominence but two editors insist without consensus that their version with blog-page sourcing must remain. Pete (talk) 22:25, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Endorsing the protection. WP:BRD applies here & now it's at the 'D' stage. GoodDay (talk) 22:52, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with that as long you acknowledge that BRD means retaining the original content for now, which is the First Nations names in the lead that have been there for many months. Poketama (talk) 01:16, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The page is pending changes protected. There have been four edits by non-autoconfirmed users this month, the last was five days ago. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:18, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It has also received semi many times, the last being a year duration. PCP isn't working out, as many edits since the semi expired have been reverted. 1989 (talk) 13:46, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, someone will come along and take account of what you say when making a decision. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:50, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. The current indefinite PC protection is working as it should. MelanieN (talk) 03:23, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nutri Ventures

Reason: It had been protected a year ago but as soon as the protection was lifted, the same IP address added same misinfo. Please check with other wikis too because they made the same debunked claims in different languages. We are sick and tired with this range of IPs. This article is becoming a riot. Thanks. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 17:12, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2023 Formula One World Championship

Reason: The grounds of the last deletion discussion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2023 Formula One World Championship (2nd nomination)) no longer hold. There are a large variety of sources discussing the 2023 Formula One World Championship ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]) meaning this page is now eligable to be created SSSB (talk) 10:00, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done I have downgraded to semi-protection (somehow I think this might come in useful). Looking at the deleted content and the sources provided, I think a separate article can now easily be written. Courtesy @Scottywong: if you disagree, just revert. Lectonar (talk) 12:56, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – BLP violations: sustained addition of uncited and speculated transfers by IP users that are not backed by reliable sources. Many of these have slipped by other editors. QueenofBithynia (talk) 22:00, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

William A. Dembski

Reason: This article was ext-protected in 2018, but has not been subject to vandalism or POV-pushing recently. I propose that its protection level should be changed to semi-protected. Partofthemachine (talk) 03:26, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That lack of disruption might be due to the article being protected. @Anachronist: last protecting admin; any thoughts? Lectonar (talk) 12:53, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'd agree that indef ECP seems a bit overkill for the level of disruption that was happening at the time (especially considering that WP:ECP mandates that EC protection should only be used "where semi-protection has proven to be ineffective", which doesn't appear to be the case here as the last semi-protection occurred 12 years prior to the EC protection), and it certainly doesn't seem warranted after 4 years. I'd support unprotecting to see what happens, or perhaps reducing to temporary semi-protection. I don't think that any level of indefinite protection is warranted here yet. We should strive to find the minimum protection level that results in a disruption-free editing environment, and the best way to do that is to continually test the waters with escalating levels and durations of protection to find the point at which the disruption ends. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 14:53, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Looking back at that, it appears to me like that was a mistake on my part: selecting the wrong protection level in the drop-down and then writing a rationale that is obviously intended for semi-protection. I didn't catch the mistake, and I'm surprised nobody else caught it either, after all this time. I have downgraded the protection to semi. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:49, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Edit war H0n0r (talk) 12:10, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would love to see temporary full protection for this article. There are many participants in the edit war, but few participants in the talk page discussion. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 20:04, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Fully protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Couple of dozen edits since your report so it's certainly not stale. Important topic to agree about. Sufficient war off-wiki. Semi-protection won't solve the edit war problem, so let's lock everybody out for a standard period of time and count on folks to promote a discussion gathering consensus. I'll be available in case everybody decides to play nice. BusterD (talk) 22:14, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. The problems are coming from just one editor, who is auto-confirmed so semi-protection would not help. You could try to engage them on the article talk page, asking for their reference for the change. Give the editor appropriate escalating warnings on their talk page, and report them if they continue to disrupt.  MelanieN (talk) 03:22, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adamic_language

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adamic_language


Regarding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adamic_language

Change the first sentence to include the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church and add five sentences about Ethiopian and Eritrean Christian claims that the first language was Ge'ez.

Change:

The Adamic language, according to Jewish tradition (as recorded in the midrashim) and some Christians, is the language spoken by Adam (and possibly Eve) in the Garden of Eden.

To:

The Adamic language, according to Jewish tradition (as recorded in the midrashim) and some Christians, including the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, is the language spoken by Adam (and possibly Eve) in the Garden of Eden.

Change:

In the Middle Ages, various Jewish commentators held that Adam spoke Hebrew, a view also addressed in various ways by the late medieval Italian poet Dante Alighieri. In the early modern period, some authors continued to discuss the possibility of an Adamic language, some continuing to hold to the idea that it was Hebrew, while others such as John Locke were more skeptical. More recently, a variety of Mormon authors have expressed various opinions about the nature of the Adamic language.

To:

According to Ethiopian and Eritrean tradition, Ge'ez was the language of Adam. [[1]] Ge'ez predates Hebrew. [[2]] "[T]he Southern Semitic languages spoken in Ethiopia alongside Argoba, Tigrinya, Tigre, Geez, Guragenya, Siltee etc.. ... are considered much older than the Northern Semitic languages such as Hebrew & Arabic[.]" [[3]] Ge'ez is closer to the proto-Semitic language. [[4]] Semitic languages were spoken in Eritrea since approximately 2000 BC.[[5]]

Untitled Scream sequel

Reason: IP and new user vandalism. I requested protection for this page 2 weeks ago and it was protected. As soon as the protection expired, the vandalism started immediately by new user and IP user - likely they are watching the page, waiting for their chance to edit it. This will likely continue as the movie continues to film and enters post-production. The page should really be protected until the movie releases much like its companion page, Scream (2022), has been protected for a year, I recommend this page be protected for several months, if not a year, too.

Egyptian pound

Reason: A user (User:MatthewS.) is making disruptive reversions to this page that are difficult to revert because he makes multiple edits in quick succession meaning they have to be manually reverted.

You've both reported each other for vandalism! 😂 Bgsu98 (talk) 02:36, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@TheCurrencyGuy joins Wikipedia two months ago and decides to change what was settled for years, and asks ME to take his word for granted and accept his NEW edits in place of what there for years then try to reach a consensus, whereas I am saying “keep the original content till a consensus is reached FIRST in order to change it to his version. I gave reliable sources for my info, which he calls “not reliable”, I guess simply because my sources don’t say what he wants them to. MatthewS. (talk)
I'm not an administrator, so it's not really my business, but you should both be temporarily blocked for edit warring. 6 reversions each in one day! This is not the right venue for this dispute, as I am confident an administrator will tell you. Bgsu98 (talk) 02:54, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I kept trying to get him to engage on the talk page. All I was trying to do was protect the "in progress" edits I was making in tandem with another editor trying to reach a consensus. The original version had much dubious and unsourced content (such as multiple "citation needed" tags) which I was trying to fix through collaboration and discussion. TheCurrencyGuy (talk) 03:04, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I did engage in the talk page, but he and the other guy insist on changing before any agreement is reached “on the talk page”. All I’m saying is keep the original, reach an agreement, THEN change. Not “force your way and try to convince me”. The original article has been in place for years. I say it stays TILL I am convinced otherwise. Original stays, change waits. Not the other way around. MatthewS. (talk) 03:10, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This page has repeatedly been subjected to unexplained deletions, large or small, by IP editors. The subject matter is evidently sensitive, and while nobody has challenged the scholarship, numerous IPs feel they can chop at it without being able to explain themselves in any way.

Perhaps ironically, the IP requesting access to that page is, I believe, a sockpuppet of one User:Taking Out The Trash. I find it pretty remarkable that nobody is questioning why this IP does not have an account, and why any IP should behave as they do. People who want to police a community, as is obviously the IP's sole aim, should be a part of that community, but this IP seems to want to be an anonymous vigilante. 86.187.174.89 (talk) 08:02, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chamar

.( In reference to villages of Rohtas and Bhojpur district of Bihar, prevalence of a practice was revealed, in which it was obligatory for the women of Chamar and Dusadh community to have sexual contacts with their Rajput landlords. In order to keep their men in submissive position, these upper-caste landlords raped these Dalit women, and often implicate the male members of latter's family in false cases, when they refused sexual contacts with them. The other form of oppression which was inflicted on them was disallowing them to walk on the pathways and draw water from the wells, which belonged to Rajputs. The "pinching of breast" by the upper caste landlords and the undignified teasings were also common form of oppression.).

Biryani

Reason: This year alone, this article has twice been under autoconfirmed protection, first for one week and then for one month. After both incidents, the article saw a substantial increase in vandalism, unsubstantiated information, and poor citations from sites that do not provide evidence or cite sources themselves, including in the header of the article which has been a point of contention, seemingly in correspondence with the rise of Hindu nationalism in India and the dish's association with the Muslim community. I am requesting permanent protection for this article, given that the vandalism and poor edits resumed soon both times after temporary protection was listed. TheCherryPanda (talk) 23:46, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. TheCherryPanda, the page has only been protected 4 times in total, which is usually not enough to impose an indefinite protection (on multiple occasions, I've indefinitely protected pages that were previously protected over 30 times, though those are extreme examples). In this case, I actually considered protecting it for longer as WP:ARBIND, but my sampling didn't show that much ethno-national disruption (though, my sampling was very limited, so I may well have overlooked the prevalence of such trends on this page). HTH. El_C 00:03, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ištaran

Reason: Disruptive editing/vandalism - anonymous users are engaging in disruptive editing, adding unsourced or poorly sourced content breaking WP:NOR, incorrect information from long outdated publications (we're talking "adding data presuming the geocentric model is true to astronomy articles" level of outdated here) and misinterpreted fragments of other, largely unrelated, wiki articles (with no proper attribution). Similar behavior can be seen on other pages of Mesopotamian deities too, and resulted in the need for protection over the course of the past few weeks multiple times. The pattern of behavior is always the same. HaniwaEnthusiast (talk) 22:00, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. HaniwaEnthusiast, this isn't really the venue to address these issues. Maybe try WP:RSN...?

Reason: High level of IP vandalism & too many accounts being created for the same purpose for the same article.

Also this article introduces the subjects as Muhajir and the same is true for the infobox. But the title strangely spells it "Mahajir." That also needs to be looked into.

Demographics of Poland

Reason: Persistent vandalism from an IP hopping individual, who also sometimes uses new accounts (sockpuppetry). Most likely the same person who is responsible for vandalism on African diaspora in Finland, Demographics of Germany and similar pages (which have been protected already). Very persistent; has been vandalising pages since at least March 2022 and manually reverts almost every day. User attempted to start a discussion on Tweedledumb2's talk page (see here) and quickly abandoned said discussion when it became apparent his edits won't be tolerated, yet he continues vandalising.

Reason: Requesting temporary semi-protection due to an influx of unsourced edits by new and anonymous editors, although I suspect them all to be from the same person because they are very similar edits about the same political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.

  • Two of these requests, if I'm counting correctly, were about content added by Jaredscribe (extended-confirmed), and one of them was now declined by me. What remains is one single quickly-reverted and now deleted copyright violation revision that would have been prevented by semi-protection. Protection may still be helpful, but rather not because of the RD1 requests. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 04:07, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Curbon7's proposal for deletion of the article as a "non-event" was itself disruptive, and basically in ignorance of the historical facts. since then,
    have attempted to include public domain statements by Xinhua and by the US SoS about this "event". These have been reverted, and revdel'd under tendentious (mis)interpretations of copyright policy. And they should be restored ASAP. thanks Jaredscribe (talk) 10:41, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Vandalism, disruptive editing, content breaking WP:NOR.

Chinelo Okparanta

Reason: This is a request for protection of the biography page of author Chinelo Okparanta due to repeated vandalism. The page was previously given protected status in 2018, when the vandalism last occurred. The vandalism consists of a repeatedly added “controversies” section. You can see in the Talk section of the page, a note by editor Yunshui in 2018 in favor of removing the section because “the only sources provided so far have fallen woefully short of WP:RS.” The section clearly violates the Wikipedia guidelines on biographies of living persons.

It was recently added again, and I removed it in an edit today and filed a report regarding the vandalism on the Noticeboard. Due to the repeated nature of the vandalism, it is likely that whoever added it previously will try again. Therefore, protected status is needed for this page. Icykuiperbelt (talk) 14:33, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. You were right to remove this material. However, it was added only once, a week ago, which is not bad enough or recent enough to qualify for protection. Also, the person who added it is autoconfirmed, so semi-protection would not help. I suggest you keep an eye on the article - put it on your watchlist. If the material gets added again, we can talk about possible protection then. MelanieN (talk) 22:19, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Magomed Tushayev

Reason: This title refers to a Chechen Russian general who was the first reported to be killed in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which started on 24 February. His death was first reported on 26 February, and I assume that the page was created that day, but two days later, his article had already been nominated for deletion (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Magomed Tushayev). It was argued that the subject was not notable other than for his claimed death. One of the nominator's arguments were "Additionally, the article itself doesn't even describe anything about this individual that would be considered notable, even if it could be verified in reliable sources." I remember the article and it was pretty short and insignificant, but it was given only 2 days to expand and it was at the time of the start of the invasion, when information was exploding and editors did not have a chance to focus on one page (fun times). The article was deleted on 2 March and repeatedly recreated until an admin protected the page so that it can only be created by administrators.

Ever since, Draft:Magomed Tushayev was published. It is significantly longer than the original article which I still remember, and there's information on his biography, military career, decorations and on something else apart of the invasion that added on his notability, human rights abuses. Also, as you can see, the article exists in many Wikipedias already [35]. The subject has later been confirmed not to have actually been killed, so that's more information to add about him. By the way, he is currently the only Russian general reported to have been killed in Ukraine without an article. I'd argue that Tushayev is notable enough for an article and I request unprotection to publish the draft. The draft have some minor issues but those can be easily worked on. Super Ψ Dro 19:40, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined For now...the existence of articles in other Wikipedias doesn't really matter, because they tend to have different requirements for an article to be allowed. Also, this can easily be unprotected after the draft has been reviewed/accepted. Lectonar (talk) 06:59, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Gyrofrog, are you reverting mainly because they are socking, or mainly because the content in question is problematic? El_C 18:28, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@El C: Mainly the former. User:Hoaeter (who would seem to be behind this) is banned (WP:3X). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:44, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Might be worth retaining any useful stuff, then, not to appease them or anything (even if it may have that effect), but for the benefit of the reader. El_C 19:04, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with that in principle, but the problem is determining what's useful -- or rather, finding anyone else (i.e. in the broader "ARBHORN" topic area) still willing to make that determination. I'd planned to go into more detail but I think it's outside the scope of this page. Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Hoaeter has a good summary of what's happened (or see the archives of Talk:Habesha peoples, if you really have nothing better to do). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:00, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Depp v. Heard

Reason: Of the last 500 edits, most have been by registered users, but a large percentage of the IP edits have been reverted. Therefore, semi-protecting this page would be unlikely to significantly affect quality editing, but would greatly reduce the amount of vandalism and dubious edits. As this article is on a highly controversial (to say the least) topic involving living people, a lower standard should apply. RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 03:55, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anime Matsuri

Reason: One or several logged-out users seem to be highly invested in making Anime Matsuri's attendance numbers higher than they really are, and keep re-adding the same unreliable sources to make those numbers seem more legitimate.

To add a bit more context - one reliable secondary source that this article has relied on in the past (AnimeCons.com) has stopped reporting on Anime Matsuri because of their repeated lying about attendance numbers, and has retroactively removed them from all their past reports (this is covered in the article, with sources). The IP edits keep re-adding the numbers reported by Anime Matsuri, even though they are known to be inflated. ReneeWrites (talk) 22:08, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cassava Sciences

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Daniel Case last semi-protected the article for one week, through August 7, which gave me a breather to get the article cleaned up (mostly). Here is the last description of the issues with biased IP editing; the Department of Justice is investigating the company, it's one of several high profile scandals in the Alzheimer's research world, and there appears to be paid editing on board. The IP returned to reinstate the same biased pro-company original research and does not engage the talk page or provide sources, often offering POV based on interpretation of primary sources or company documents. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:41, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The IP
  • Removes cited text and introduces POV: [40] (original expectation was for 1,750 enrollment)
    Inserts text based on primary sources, which disagrees with secondary sources: [41]
    Appears to have inside knowledge: [42]
    Inserts POV by using primary sources to misrepresent the full picture covered by secondary sources: [43]
    Inserts POV using Cassava as a source, rather than independent, third-party sources: [44]

Te Felicito (Shakira and Rauw Alejandro song)

Reason: I asked for this page to be protected a week ago (see Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive/2022/08#09 August 2022), from a moving IP adding a claim of a certification in Mexico that appears to be fake, as the website of the official certifying body in Mexico does not list it. For some reason, the request was declined for apparently not enough disruptive activity, although by that point the IP had already re-added the fake certification 7 times in 14 days. So here we are a week later, I've tried to remove the false certification four further times and the IP is back within hours to re-add it. Not sure how long this has to go on before the disruptive activity is considered "enough". As previously stated, multiple warnings have been left on the IP's talk page but they have been ignored, so they have no interest in dialog, and blocking the IP won't help as they have used another IP address in the past.

Founding Fathers of the United States

Reason: The article in question has just received its second series of vandalism (Aug. 16) by someone who creates bogus user accounts and has made many dozens of edits to the article using that name. The vandal in question attempted to create a user name that at first glance appeared identical to mine, using two capital 'I' in the username. That user has been blocked. As there has been a lot of controversial discussion on the talk page over the last few months I suspect the vandalism has occurred at the hand of some disgruntled editor, and if nothing is done I believe it's only a matter of time before it happens again. The edit history in the Founding Fathers of the United States will give you a clear idea as to the proportions of the vandalism.

Sayed Noorullah Jalili

Reason: I was the one that initially made the article. The article was protected due to repeated creation by me and sockpuppets which I created. After a long unblock journey and learning to become a better member on wikipedia, I was unblocked and I would like the article to now be unprotected so that I can publish a new and viable draft for review and work towards the article being published on the live space. I am not a paid editor but I do have a conflict of interest to the subject of the article. I have declared that conflict of interest. Nonetheless, I have written a valid draft and eliminated the unambiguous advertising and biased material. Still, the article needs to be published for review and therefore this page needs to be unprotected in order for me to submit the article again under the name of the protected page. I am requesting the assistance of the admins in unprotecting, reviewing and improving, and publishing the article.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. PRAXIDICAE🌈 00:30, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Praxidicae: based on the source (which is a YouTube video) for his birth date in the article, it looks his date of birth may be March 13, 1969 (see this timestamp in the source) which would make the changes not vandalism. I am not sure how we will want to square the conflicting dates (as other sources, including the NY Times, state he was 57 when he died which would put his DoB in 1965) but, if we consider the memorial to be a RS (it could be a typo in the memorial video however), the changes would not be vandalism. Mifter (talk) 02:42, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Look at the dozens of other sources, including those that discuss the police reports of his death, that show 1965. The memorial is NOT an RS and this has been an ongoing issue for weeks. PRAXIDICAE🌈 02:44, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am not familiar with this article or its subject however, if we are not viewing the memorial as an RS, we should (i) remove it as the citation for his date of birth (and probably from the article entirely unless we have a reason to keep it), (ii) replace it with a citation to a RS for that point (such as the NY Times) and, (iii) perhaps put a hidden comment in the article flagging this so other editors do not edit the date thinking it is a typo. However, to your request, I would not consider changing the date to be vandalism (which, per WP:VAND "has a very specific meaning: editing (or other behavior) deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose") as the memorial video could be quite easily be seen, in good faith, by a new/inexperienced editor to be highlighting a typo that should be fixed. However, this going back and forth is clearly disruptive and, per your request and the ongoing disruption, I have protected the article. Best, Mifter (talk) 03:17, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Harriet Hageman

Temporary full protection: Repeated re-creation contrary to this AfD discussion which reached a consensus to redirect. That discussion determined the page can be created if she wins the general election in November.

  • Support the above request although would prefer ECP protection. The amount of edit-warring in the past 24 hours has been excessive. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:42, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've commented at the current drv for this article, so I'm not going to take action myself, but this should be full protection if anything - there's plenty of extended-confirmed editors either restoring from the redirect outright, or editing the article after. It's maybe a bit premature for that, truth be told, but it would at least simplify the history merge from Draft:Harriet Hageman when the article's recreated (either soonish at drv, or when she inevitably wins the general election). —Cryptic 02:51, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose the circumstances surrounding the subject are vastly different than they were two months ago when the AFD was (correctly) closed as a redirect. The subject has now received significant national coverage and would pass WP:NPOL. Rather than wait on a DRV which I believe is in the wrong forum, the page should be in-redirected and a user can nominate for a 2nd AFD if they so choose. Since the subject has received significant national coverage after winning the primary election and unseating a longtime congressperson. Carson Wentz (talk) 03:16, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The subject of the page easily passes WP:NPOL and WP:GNG, even as an unelected candidate and presumptive general election winner. I thought those who edit in the American politics/candidates topic area learned a lesson from Theresa Greenfield and all the thinkpieces about who gets a Wikipedia page.

    Okay? I haven't said anything about the merits, I've said we need to have a discussion, which you apparently refuse to do. I had to make this request because you were repeatedly re-creating it without engaging on the talk page. ― Tartan357 Talk 05:11, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't that I'm not interested in having a discussion, I'm just not interested in interacting with you. Novemberjazz 05:13, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Then don't, I guess? You've chosen to by reverting me with your "nope" edit. Please don't be rude, I have been respectful towards you. ― Tartan357 Talk 05:17, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You have been passive aggressive and combative. I don't see you responding to any of the other comments above, just mine. Novemberjazz 05:19, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please be specific if you're going to accuse me of something, with a diff. I will apologize if I have behaved inappropriately. I do not believe simply speaking to you after you revert me constitutes being combative, that's a pretty strange thing to say. ― Tartan357 Talk 05:22, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You left me a message on my talk page that I removed. You left me another that "Welcomes me to Wikipedia." You followed me to this discussion and responded directly to my comment while ignoring all the others. And then you WP:GASLIGHT when I complain. Novemberjazz 05:40, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is my RfPP request. I have not followed you anywhere. You commented on my request. The first message is automatically sent by WP:TWINKLE as a courtesy when a page is nominated for speedy deletion. The second was a template message informing you of the policy that you cannot remove tags from articles you've created. The template messages are not written by me, they come from a standard library. ― Tartan357 Talk 05:43, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This fighting to keep the redirect is bizarre to me. See my edit summary, accompanying my restoration of the full article, for further detail.

Funland (Rehoboth Beach, Delaware)

Reason: Page protection is counter productive, as the page is heavily outdated. Most of the information on the page is now wrong, and the page protection is blocking editors that know the correct information from fixing it. Mainly people without accounts. Some people wanna edit annoynomysly, and they can't do that with this page due to it's protection. It also appears the so called edit warrer is nowhere to be found, so there's no need for the protection anymore. Thank you. 2603:3003:2F02:ED00:7002:8824:E377:8419 (talk) 06:14, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cullen328:, last protecting admin. My 2 cents: looking at the page history and the protection-log, I can see no dire need to unprotect. One can always use an edit request. Lectonar (talk) 06:55, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I never said it was dire. I just meant it should be unprotected whenever an admin has time to get around to it. Just a reference to how outdated this page is. Here's another version of this article from a different site https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funland_(Rehoboth_Beach,_Delaware). The main thing that comes to mind that is way outdated in this article is the ride chart. It contains rides that are no longer there, as well as omitting a ride that was added this season. The article is also a bit outdated in the into paragrah, as well as missing some information in the history section. I was hoping that some other editors would notice this and fix it, but none have and it's been like this ever since it was protected. That's why I'm asking for the article to be unprotected, so editors that don't have an account may edit the article if they so choose. Just trying to be a helpful contributor. 2603:3003:2F02:ED00:7002:8824:E377:8419 (talk) 07:07, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An IP has appeared on my talk page to assert that since the photographer is dead, the photos are all public domain ("As he is now deceased and did not legally pass the copyright onto anyone the image would be without a copyright holder therefore public domain" – utter nonsense). I've reverted their changes to this page, but we really need the facts on this page not to be screwed with again by newbies who know nothing about even the basics of copyrights, but who might try to twist the law to pretend that it supports their preferred outcome. Even though this is the first edit, this is a legally sensitive situation and it is going to be a problem for years, so I think that indefinite protection is going to be most appropriate. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:57, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Agreed. The FAQ should not provide misleading statements concerning copyrights. El_C 02:52, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: See Talk:Killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri#Can we make the article semi-protected?. An IP suggested WP:PC and others agree. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 16:41, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - "Since this article is about an operation of killing someone important, don't you think this needs to be protected in some way" Wikipedia pages aren't protected preemptively. The article is being actively edited by people who would be locked out if it were protected, and while there has been occasional vandalism, it isn't enough to warrant protection (be it PC or semi). The frequency of edits has also seemed to fall, considering the topic is no longer actively in the news. DatGuyTalkContribs 16:47, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CambridgeBayWeather, it's your job to not protect a version with a hoax in the lead. The one editor is also the only one edit warring, the others are just removing it. Tayi Arajakate Talk 18:34, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
How am I supposed to guess that it's a hoax? Nothing was mentioned about any editors adding hoax material. Perhaps you should have started with that and not requested semi which would not have worked to stop any of those editors. From my view it could be that some editors are adding a hoax or that other editors are trying to remove valid criticism of a film. The last thing you want is an admin making content decisions on pages. I'll also point out that this page is still not Talk:Dobaaraa. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 18:40, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
CambridgeBayWeather, the line "The lead actress and the director of the movie requested the audience to boycott the movie in response to recent boycott bollywood trend." cited to a source which says "They both joked that they 'feel left out'.

Pinging Abecedare and RegentsPark, can you take a look at this? Tayi Arajakate Talk 18:57, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
For the third time I will point out that this page is not Talk:Dobaaraa. I also see that the link you point out says "Taapsee Pannu and Anurag Kashyap request fans to boycott Dobaaraa; here's why", "Taapsee Pannu and Anurag Kashyap who are gearing up for the release of their sci-fi thriller Dobaaraa recently urged fans to boycott their film." and mentions boycotting the film in other places. However, you need to take this up on Talk:Dobaaraa. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 18:58, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
CambridgeBayWeather, yeah it says that they said so as part of a joke which is pretty clear in the link. Are you seriously going to defend this hoax? All you need to do is remove it and I don't need to take it to Talk:Dobaaraa for you to do that. Tayi Arajakate Talk 19:16, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have (WP:IAR) removed the disputed sentence from the lede since IMO it was indeed a joke made during the film's promotional tour that India TV News used as a clickbait, and leaving the claim in the article for a week could have deleterious real-world consequences. If anyone objects to my reading of the source, that and any other issue, can be discussed on the article talkpage. Abecedare (talk) 19:50, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Tayi Arajakate if it was a joke then it wasn't a hoax. Giving the correct information in the first place would have speeded this up. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 20:11, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

El_C I just reverted this change for the fifth time, and every time it’s been a different IP user (though the last two were the same one I believe). Drevolt (talk) 19:27, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please just list those five diffs, because I'm not immediately seeing all of them (though I do see your last one from two days ago). Note that a contiguous series of edits only counts as one time, unless it's clearly shown which account was doing what, when. But if you'd rather wait for another admin, one who'd be willing to do that leg-work for you (i.e. compiling those diffs) — that's fine, it's really all the same to me. But you should keep in mind that that may not happen. Good luck. El_C 19:41, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Simon Spies

Reason: Yesterday, a documentary on the Danish broadcasting service (DR), "revealed" that Simon Spies had multiple young women as private prostitutes, most of them down to 14-15 years old. Although this has been known for many years, this documentary in particular has sparked some outrage among the Danish citizens, meaning that people have already began to edit his Wikipedia page, by, for example, replacing the word "forretningsmand" (businessman) with "pædofil voldsforbryder" (pedophile violent criminal). This is both biased and against Wikipedias spirit, but also lacks specific sources.

I therefore request that you temporarily add some protection to this page, so it doesn't get bombarded with angry peoples comments about him.

Stateless nation

Longer full protection or blocks Barely a few days ago, Deepfriedokra had protected this page,[58] and now both edit warring editors are back with their deceptive edit summaries. One edit warring user still falsely claiming Sikhs to be ethnic group[59] while another edit warring user is still misrepresenting discussion at Talk:Stateless_nation#Tamil-related sentences.[60] This comes despite warnings on their talk pages.[61][62]

I didn't revert this time. Other editors reverted these two.

User talk:BrownHairedGirl

Please reduce the protection level on the talk page of User talk:BrownHairedGirl as I need to leave a request regarding the editing of the Wikipedia page for the National Research Foundation (South Africa) on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Research_Foundation_(South_Africa) Postscript159 (talk) 08:33, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@BrownHairedGirl: courtesy ping. Lectonar (talk) 08:47, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Postscript159: please leave my talkpage alone.
I had it semi-protected because I was getting far too many stupid messages from newbie editors, who somehow think that because I that article was one of the many hundreds of thousands of articles to which I have made a semi-automated technical edit, that I am somehow an expert in the topic. They don't know how to read a WP:DIFF or even an edit summary, and wrongly assume that I wrote the whole article; they therefore want me to help locate their ancestors or other relatives, or to opine on the article's topic, or assist them in pursing some agenda such as promoting their employer.
I have only ever made one edit to that article, and it was a minor drive-by technical edit, to add[63] {{use dmy dates}}. I have no knowledge of the topic, and no interest in the topic.
So I see no need to revise my talkpage's protection level, and in this case I really do not want to engage with yet another corporate PR person who treats Wikipedia as a free advertising venue rather than as an NPOV, Verifiable encyclopedia. I would be grateful if any similar requests to alter the protection levels on my userpages were declined without my involvement.
Postscript159 edited the article National Research Foundation (South Africa) by a subsequently WP:REVDELed edit which I cannot view, but from the edit history it appears to have simply replaced the whole article with copyvio material from their employer's website https://www.nrf.ac.za. I cannot imagine how on earth Postscript159 imagined that this was in any way a suitable contribution to an encyclopedia.
I also hope that in future Postscript159 desists from damaging their employer's reputation by simply wading in on any external website to post corporate PR, rather than first asking the community whether their involvement is welcome, and asking what constraints apply. Many Wikipedia editors are way too gentle with these corporate shills, and in the case of persistent promotional activity I have found that good results can be obtained by simply writing to the person at the very top of the organisation asking them to restrain their staff.
I find it particularly sad that this particular instance of abuse of Wikipedia comes from a public body whose mission is to not to make money, but to assist in the development of human knowledge. The South African citizens who fund NRF through their taxes have a right to expect that the NRF should be much better than this. Its statement of 6 NRF Values includes "Respect" and "Integrity & Ethics". Neither of those has been evident here.
Yes, this post is a bit of a rant. But there really is a wider problem here, and Wikipedia needs to be much more direct in warning organisations and companies that this is an encyclopedia created and maintained by volunteers, not a venue for free advertising. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:27, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Declined See above; and yes, the revision-deleted part was a copyvio. For the OP: you can use an edit request on the talk-page of the the article you want to edit if it should be semi-protected. Lectonar (talk) 12:16, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lectonar: thanks for declining.
But just in case it was somehow unclear from my post above: if any admin acts on a request from this editor to edit my talk page, I will a) promptly revert, and b) be annoyed at the disregard for my wishes. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:43, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. Bbb23 (talk) 20:06, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Verdis

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary as the page hasn't been recreated in a while and I believe it should be created as a redirect to Croatia-Serbia border dispute, nothing else. Free Republic of Verdis should also be unblocked but not recreated. If recreated at all, it should also just be a redirect to Croatia-Serbia border dispute MicroSupporter (talk) 07:36, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(side note: I believe it is notable enough for a redirect, but nothing more due to lack of sources) MicroSupporter (talk) 07:37, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I also believe that if this is not notable enough for a redirect, then Princedom of Ongal and Kingdom of Enclava redirects should be deleted as they have the same, if not less notability. MicroSupporter (talk) 07:45, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to delete something else then you need to go to WP:RFD. No strong views on unprotecting Verdis. Stifle (talk) 09:48, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In regards to just Verdis and Free Republic of Verdis being unprotected though, could it? I'm looking to request it to become a redirect afterwards. MicroSupporter (talk) 17:21, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If there aren't sources, then I don't know about making it a redirect. Seems counter-intuitive. There was already a redirect deletion discussion [67] in the last few years that found no valid target. There was also the AFD [68] on the same subject, with near unanimous "delete" votes (barring one SPA IP). I'm inclined to say no. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:02, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not done - Thought about it, but I just don't see a valid rationale for unsalting, and the two previous discussions provide a reasonably current consensus on it. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:16, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Daniel Case, for information the person who asked for the page protection was directly involved into this edit war. His edit history shows he is non neutral. I'd like to catch your attention about the repeated edit destruction and false arguments to justify them. None seems to care but there is clearly a subtle game here to play with wikipedia rules to meet personal objectives, against Wikipedia quality and neutrality. Would be interested in your advice, how this can be solved. Thx. 90.29.60.62 (talk) 08:54, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is AFAIK no requirement that the person requesting protection be "neutral". If you had responded to this report before I protected the page (you had about 10 hours, as it happened), I might have demurred, but ... if you believe Yae4 is gaming the system, well, you can take this to AN/I, or the dispute resolution noticeboard, or 3O or even open an RfC in the meantime. The main goal here is stop edit warring without blocks. Daniel Case (talk) 23:56, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Noticed 5+ IPs coordinating changes (adding serious unsourced allegations against a living person). IPs flagged for ban but we should consider protecting the page to protect the living person attacked here. Update: seems like this person is in the news because of fresh accusations. Still doesn't justify the vandalism. I've added a banner (not sure if it's the right thing to do). Protecting the page might still help us reduce the flow of hate messages and vandalism on the page short term. I rely on your best judgement here, just wanted to flag this.

@BrickMaster02: Please read up on extended confirmed protection. In any event, it is not appropriate when dealing with disruption from non extended confirmed editors.

The reason that the page isn't getting vandalism and disruptive edits is likely because of the protection, so you can't use a lack of it to demonstrate it isn't necessary. It's had a long history of problems, so I'm not inclined to unprotect, although I will leave this open. You should first try to talk page of the article, or simply register for an account and wait a week or so and do a dozen edits to be autoconfirmed.

  • Comment @-- Deepfriedokra I realy apologise, i am sorry about this behavior. But since its not BLP violation and the accusation was false could you please revert it to my version, i am sorry about what happened but there was no consensus regarding this and large amount of Wp:RS, gkept getting removed. VKM retired after 40 years with the company and his daughter Stephanie and son in law Triple H took charge and started the next era on July 22, 2022, this was a historic event, that was included in this section, and all editors accepted it, but he kept falsely accusing me of BLP, i was not the one who wrote that section, I merely wanted to keep the WP:RS information and repeatedly requested him to seek a consensus. I apologise, I will never do it again, I am sorry. I will be grateful if you add the information back. Even if you do not, I will respect any decision you make.

Coverage of Google Street View

Reason: Well, I want to protect this page because it is the subject of Disruptive Editing by Alfredokudai, apparently he found a way to edit well using different IPs, in March 2022, an admin blocked his IP range but that was not enough and still continues using other different IPs to add false information such as adding that Kolkata, Goa and other Indian cities received Google Street View coverage even when the source he uses does not say or show that, in addition to adding information without any source for example, He added that Iraq had official coverage along with other European and North American countries that constantly receive official updates from Google. In addition to adding a lot of towns in Turkey, Russia and Brazil such as Gaziantep, Kaspiysk and Medicilândia, - In addition, several users have noticed and reversed several edits containing unsourced information such as this one revert.

John Pelham (officer)

Reason: On , 2022 July 14, 50.78.234.174 added "and traitor" to the description. To some it is not a neutral term, but it is accurate for all cadets t West Point and Anapolis who left to fight for the CSA. They had all taken oaths as Middies and Cadets to the US. They would take anotgher oath to the US when commissioned. Ergo, like all former US Army and Navy officers who left for the CSA, they were traitors. Several users keep trying to delete that description. Wikipedia should be accurate. Even if someone does not like to see people like RE Lee labelled traitors, they were. While I may have not added that to the article, deleting that edit is not justified because someone does not like it. The people who keep deleting it should be penalized for vandalism.

Semi-protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Surprisingly this page hasn't been protected in a dozen years, even though it sees regular disruption.

Reason: There have been persistent edit wars on this page, primarily by those IP addresses without permanent Wikipedia accounts. They have been told to refrain from doing so but refuse to listen.

Elihu Yale

Reason: High level of vandalism once again on the page. We asked a few days ago and the protection was increased, but now registered users do make vandalism. Removing 3/4 of the content on certain sections without augmenting the value of the content but rather decreasing it on purpose. It seems that there are still political reason for attacking that page. Thank you for the help Academia45 (talk) 03:44, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Nothing approaching a high level of vandalism on this page. Please consider reading the protection policy linked several times on this page. Pending changes protection has been applied as you have noted and appears to be working.

Reason: Main editor of page insists that 1-off jokes are not part of the wikipedia which is understandable.

Permission??? Whose permission is required? -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 05:49, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Translator error. There are a handful of sources that PPP is some source center-right, an overwhelming source of right-wing, and a rare far-right party. So the article has long designated the political position as "right-wing." It was Jeff6045 who caused an editorial war by changing it suddenly. The party has taken a completely unmoderate stance, including LGBT and feminism, and the recent backlash on disabled rights issues.--Mureungdowon (talk) 06:20, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm telling you, it's Jeff6045 who has changed his long-standing political position without permission, both in the Democratic Party and in the People Power Party. Check out the history of the two articles. So even though I proposed removing the political position from infobox in the People Power Party article Talk, Jeff6045 is deliberately ignoring it. In particular, in a Democratic Party of Korea article, Jeff6045 described Lee as "far-left." Naturally, Lee Jae-myung's extreme left is an incitement that is not identified as a reliable source. #--Mureungdowon (talk) 06:39, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously, it's Jeff6045 who did vandalism about the article, but I'm misunderstood because I'm IP. Please check the history of the article and judge it objectively again. I am economically conservative and culturally progressive. Therefore, I personally dislike politicians like Lee Jae-myung, who are economically progressive and culturally conservative. But describing him as a "far-left" when he is neither a socialist nor an anti-capitalist is ridiculous, and source is not identified. The DPK is also a "left-wing" party, and no source is confirmed. The political position of the People Power Party article was also changed by Jeff6045.--Mureungdowon (talk) 07:34, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Democratic Party of Korea

Jeff6045 changed infobox's ideology without an agreement through Talk. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Democratic_Party_of_Korea&type=revision&diff=1107331173&oldid=1107327580 Please fully protect this article and cancel the editing of Jeff6045. Jeff6045 is now providing the wrong information to Wikipedia readers.

In particular, if you read the history of the article, you will see that DPK is not "progressivism" because it insists on Jeff6045's new editing two days ago. I understand that this has never been added to the article before. English-speaking wiki editors do not know much about South Korean politics, so I want you to check the Korean Wikipedia or Namuwiki. This party does not belong to the genealogical compensation "progressive party." In South Korea, political genealogy is divided into 보수정당 "conservative parties," 민주당계 정당 "democratic parties" (liberal or social-liberal parties since the 21st century) and 진보 정당 "progressive parties."

I hope someone who knows South Korean politics explains this. In particular, Lee Jae-myung, the current leader, is economically Keynesian, but he is never a social progressive. He had a misogyny controversy, delayed the enactment of anti-discrimination laws, and clashed with LGBT groups. Jeff6045 Because he hates Lee Myung-myung, he is deliberately vandalizing the article.--- --Mureungdowon (talk) 20:47, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The DPK is by no means a progressive party, and in fact, some DPK supporters, as well as progressive party supporters like the Justice Party, will not agree. I understand that the link "progressivism" has never been added to DPK's infobox before Jeff6045. Therefore, the description should be removed and restored to a description that did not have the existing phrase "progressiveism" and then fully protected. (I can't edit the article because I signed up yesterday.) --Mureungdowon (talk) 20:54, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In particular, check out the history of DPK articles. Jeff6045 described Moon Jae In as the left and Lee Jae-myung as the far left. Lee Jae-myung's far left is not supported by reliable sources. Jeff6045's editing is full of lies beyond questionable standards https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Democratic_Party_of_Korea&type=revision&diff=1107167789&oldid=1104872765 Mureungdowon (talk) 21:13, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. Talk pages have a higher standard of disruption to receive protection (especially on articles that are themselves protected), see WP:ATPROT. While there has been disruption since the prior protection expired the disruption has not yet risen to the level where it would justify re-protecting the page.

Skid Row (Irish band)

Reason: Semi-protection. See Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive/2019/08#Skid Row (Irish band). A user using two different IPs added false information several times over a four-month period (May–August 2019) stating the band was reforming that year. It stopped after the page was semi-protected. Now the user is back with the IP 89.19.79.81, falsely stating that the band is reforming, this time with a completely different line-up.[85] Going by past experience, just reverting and giving them a warning is not going to stop them (though I'm doing both of those). Semi-protection is urgently needed. Scolaire (talk) 11:30, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Hmmm...essentially, there is a back and forth regarding the order in which candidates are named, and some smaller "corrections". This can't be solved via protection, but the article definitely needs more eyes. Lectonar (talk) 08:44, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Just in case: I created the article, have posted my views in the discussion page, justified my views, and keep getting my fixes reverted by different IP addresses from Brazil (the nationality of one of the candidates) that seem to be acting coordinately. Protection could help autoconfirmed users to keep improving the article. Pugliese23 (talk) 08:52, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I saw what you did, but Wikipedia:Dispute resolution has some more steps to try. Post at the Wikiproject you're a member of, e.g.; as I said, more eyes will do the article good. And remember to assume good faith: there a many different ways to achieve the same goal, and edits who seem to have a certain agenda may still be done in good faith.

Mikhail Gorbachev

Reason: His death means vandalism will come/already has. Including people changing his main picture that we have consensus on at the talk page. For such a massive politician I think extended confirmed is probably needed. Fijipedia (talk) 22:29, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, Steven Walling, recently deceased persons continue to be covered by BLP per WP:BDP. Otherwise, I agree with the decline. El_C 01:47, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
