Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Background: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gabriella~four.3-6/Archive User has been engaging in sockpuppetry since January 2014 or so. Without getting into the entirety of the case, the article I am requesting protection on was created by one of her socks, Gabriella703, and has been manipulated regularly by some of her IPs [1][2] by an obvious sock [3] and by a suspected sock [4]. Based on the user's long-term pattern of disruption, her persistent intention to create multiple accounts sometimes almost simultaneously, I'm requesting long term protection from IPs and non-autoconfirmed users. This is not a very heavily edited article. Thanks.Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:26, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Already protected by administrator Mike V. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:00, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: multiple month long edit warring by rotating IP. See same edits as far back as mid November. Article was previously temporarily semi protected. IP came back when protection expired.

Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:59, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: A problem article. Lots of unsourced or poorly sourced material added continously, very few editors with expertise and a real long time problem. Article is well developed but also target to different controveries - and time to time target of NPOV edits modifying it accordingly. If not semi at least please pending changes. Hafspajen (talk) 10:09, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:52, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: The country Ukraine is currently undergoing a civil war, and this is massively spilling over into Wikipedia. At least half of the editors who work on Ukraine related articles are obviously on one side or the other of this civil war. Nevertheless, editors on both "sides" agree on certain facts. Yet an IP has been making edits denying these facts, most notably by insisting upon the inclusion of the word "allegedly", when it is acknowledged by all sides that what is involved here are not allegations, but facts. This IP's edits are highly disruptive. – Herzen (talk) 18:55, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

The FM station data template was also move protected in 2013. The LPFM station data template will be used across hundreds of pages. Neutralhomer • Talk • 12:42, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Template protected, only used three times in articles right now Neutralhomer, but I will take you at your word that it will be increased in the near future. kelapstick(bainuu) 12:56, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 08:40, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing by IP(s). Repeated addition of unsourced content contrary to consensus and in defiance of a clearly worded, and conspicously visible (to editors), page notice. This page was recently semi-protected for a week and the problem has persisted since the semi-protection expired. It should also be noted that has been a recurring issue on this page over the past few years.--JayJasper (talk) 18:51, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 08:37, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

The Scurvy article has been protected since September 2010, without a reason being provided (vandalism is not mentioned). Can this page be unlocked please?

On a related matter, there is a conflict in the advice given: the Scurvy article page (Protection log) states that requests for de-protection should be made here on this Request page, whereas this Request page states that de-protection should be discussed on the article Talk page. Would be helpful to have non-conflicting instructions! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.135.38.4 (talk) 11:12, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

It was semi-protected back in 2009 because of vandalism by User:Dabomb87 but that admin isn't very active these days and was changed to pending changes during the trials in 2010 and changed back to the original protection level after the trials ended. As for the instructions, those are for requests to protected pages if the talkpage is also protected. If you're looking for unprotection in general then discussions would take place either with the protecting admin or in this section, yours was in the requests for edits to a protected page section but I have moved it for you. tutterMouse (talk) 19:21, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Unprotected The admin hasn't edited in almost a year. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 08:35, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Just after the article's second time being unprotected, there's more IP vandalism. This page is obviously very prone to vandalism and violations of BLP, so I'd recommend indefinite protection. . Pishcal — ♣ 17:40, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Just 125 minutes after lifting the semi-protection, an IP was back for a the same type of POV-editing that got the article protected. The Banner talk 17:06, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

What vandalism? Just because you, bobrayner and others gang up on me does not mean you are right. 62.193.152.83 (talk) 17:57, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
'62.193.152.83' it becomes 'vandalism', when you repeatedly make the same edit, there is a discussion on the talk page, to which you are invited to contribute. Pincrete (talk) 18:14, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:34, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Roving IP adding hoax info to article - assertion of restart of ended TV series using none or bogus references for support. Never same IP twice. Previous target was Dan Vs. which was protected for same reason. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:16, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Full protection: Persistent vandalism – Since the doge meme every time protection expires there is a new vawe of vandalism. There is a consensus that it shouls not be added to article, on talk. But no editor cares much for that. Hafspajen (talk) 12:35, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

The problem edits would be stopped easily through semi-protection I feel, possibly indef like Doge (meme). Full protection seems overzealous. tutterMouse (talk) 14:41, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
OK - like Doge meme -that's fine. Hafspajen (talk) 14:54, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1001 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:15, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism – On 14 May 2012 this article was suggested as a target for a specific type of vandalism on The Oatmeal, a high-traffic website. Once the page protection ceaced, we got editors pushing the same type of vandalism. We're coming up on 3 years since the original article and we still have drive by vandalism making the same opposed arguments. If someone wants to make a suggestion for an edit, the talk page is open to suggestions that don't involve this joke or BLP violations. Pinging Admins (Joe Decker—CharlieEchoTango—Kudpung—Runningonbrains—Bongwarrior—Reaper Eternal—The Wordsmith) for additional advice as each one of these Admins has adjusted the protection level of this page since the joke went live. Hasteur (talk) 16:38, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for one year (again), User:Joe Decker got there a while before this requests and no edits since but I imagine we'll be back here again next year as these things won't go away for as long as The Oatmeal's strip keeps circulating which might as well be forever. tutterMouse (talk) 16:53, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
TutterMouse Please reconsider. I didn't ask for a one year, I asked for indefinite. There's no reason for us to kick the problem down the road a year only to have to solve it again. Hasteur (talk) 17:02, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
You'll want to take it up with @Joe Decker: as protecting admin, He protected ahead of your request and I'm not even an admin or I'd have asked Joe myself to prevent a wheel war. tutterMouse (talk) 17:11, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Temporary Semi-Protection Constant removal of notable reviews by IP editors who disagree with the review. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 15:09, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of a fortnight, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:04, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Not so much a reduction in protection level as much as it is a reduction in protection duration. I think what the page experienced was a short-term problem that could easily have been resolved with a shorter block duration. Cyphoidbomb said on its talk page that he didn't see any reason for an indefinite protection. ElectricBurst(Is there anything you need of me?) 09:40, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Declined, This page has been protected five times in 2014 alone, including the current protection. The previous expired on 23 December and it was indeffed five days later. Also you should request the reduction from the protecting admin prior to posting here, in this case Ronhjones (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) kelapstick(bainuu) 13:08, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Note: The message replied by Cyphoidbomb at Talk:Boomerang (TV channel) said it was fully protected and that was his answer to that level of protection - that was a false argument - it has never been fully protected (one would rarely indef an article to fully protected). We truly suspect the UPN vandal will be back, as always, within a week, once he's managed to gain a new IP address, thus semi protection is the way to go. It has been semi protected 5 times in the past with a finish date - clearly that's not working. Setting a time limit is like giving the UPN an alarm clock, he'll be back the minute it expires, and we could then miss that. Making it indef does not mean forever - it means to some unknown future date where a case for unprotection can be given (i.e. we are convinced that the UPN has ceased operations), and the page properly monitored when unprotected. In any case, if semi-protection was causing a big issue there would be a raft of {{edit semi-protected}} notes on the talk page, which there are not.Ronhjones  (Talk) 15:22, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
I totally misunderstood what the IP user was asking on the talk page. (Psst! It was not written very coherently!) I trust Ron's judgment on this matter. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:26, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes: BLP policy violations. George Ho (talk) 00:20, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism – Some users kept messing with the lead section, which should alone should be left alone and also at the bottom of the page another user kept making lies and nonsense, also with foul language. . Smarty9108 (talk) 20:49, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Declined. There is no chance that indefinite full protection will be applied. I'm not even seeing a great need for semi-prot. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 06:39, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Lots of changes have been seen on the page after every matchday like replacing player's name with other player's name etc. I would like this page to be protected from vandalism as it is frequent in this page.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent disruptive edits from children who won't acknowledge existing guidelines like WP:TVUPCOMING or acknowledge warnings. Recently blocked user Tylerisawesome52 kept adding blank sections for an alleged upcoming new season. New user Omari is great (note the similarity in "is awesome" "is great") adds the same pointless section. Requesting 1 week protection from IPs and non-autoconfirmed users, although the article has been suffering from repeated hoax additions for a number of weeks.

Indefinite is too much. This show comes out in a month.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 01:04, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

hi,

there are too many people in a field called "physics" that are removing galilean relativity from the article, which is very inappropriate.

i have a problem with the people removing it because the large majority of individuals in "physics" blindly followed the lorentz transformation without even understanding that it has NO Geometric basis.

i have put my arguments forward on the talk page and did not receive any response by the individuals who are reverting my edits. i find this inexcusable, especially since i'm the one getting a warning for trying to keep the page AS IT WAS AS OF A WEEK AGO.

i think a mathematically competent individual is necessary to evaluate the validity of the block, because the removal of galilean relativity is UNACCEPTABLE. it is WELL KNOWN that galilean relativity has a MATHEMATICALLY RIGOROUS GEOMETRIC INTERPRETATION (unlike the lorentz transformation), which means that humans should be able to VISUALIZE The result.

i have provided evidence for my claims (see a gif i created here https://twitter.com/i3roly/status/550839327337762817) i am willing to provide a FULL fMRI nifti image file so that moderators can view the four dimensional basis themselves using the medinria medical image visualizer.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Plenty of activity but relatively little disruption. Barring major disruption, we should make every effort to keep articles like this open. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:40, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism.  Meow 10:59, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Note: this article was recently featured by Wikipedia's Facebook page as one of the top edited articles of 2014. I don't see the IP vandalism as excessive right now, but we could see a potential spike. I am going to leave it for now, but check back in a bit, any other admin please feel free to semi it if you think I am wrong. kelapstick(bainuu) 13:03, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There has been enough times this has been asked for a semi-prot, however the vandalisms never stopped, never ceased. And coupled wth the gross insulting content being added, this is a serious case of BLP vio. Please protect it semi for indefinite time. —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 13:38, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Declined. Most of the disruption comes from an autoconfirmed user, and semi-protection is not going to help against them. It is unfortunate that gross BLP violation was introduced from an IP today, but it just happened once, and is not a reason to introduce semi-protection. I do not see any evidence that the level of vandalism is so high that semi-protection is required. Pending changes can be an option, but first the disruption should stop, the page is currently edited too much actively for perding changes. Once the editing frequency by non-autoconfirmed users subsist, and the problem remains, pls really for pending changes protection.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:15, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Full protection (one week only): This is to request only one week of full protection, administrator only, to direct attention to the page upgrade discussion presently taking place on the Dyslexia at Talk page for Talk:Zad68. The major diagnostic manual, ICD-10, has been re-written and the news about Alexia being integrated in the diagnosis of Dyslexia has not yet fully gotten around. The Alexia diagnosis has been absorbed into diagnostic category for Dyslexia. Redirect has been posted for Alexia following ICD-10 integration to Dyslexia. (Re-incorporation of integrated ICD-10 categorization of R48.0 from previously separated classification.) Current version is up to date with ICD-10. The temporary protection should be used to encourage Talk discussion at the Dyslexia article in order to avoid future edit reverts, and all editors are invited to attend the upgrade discussion on Dyslexia at Talk:Zad68.

Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism – On 14 May 2012 this article was suggested as a target for a specific type of vandalism on The Oatmeal, a high-traffic website. Once the page protection ceaced, we got editors pushing the same type of vandalism. We're coming up on 3 years since the original article and we still have drive by vandalism making the same opposed arguments. If someone wants to make a suggestion for an edit, the talk page is open to suggestions that don't involve this joke or BLP violations. Pinging Admins (Joe Decker—CharlieEchoTango—Kudpung—Runningonbrains—Bongwarrior—Reaper Eternal—The Wordsmith) for additional advice as each one of these Admins has adjusted the protection level of this page since the joke went live.

  • 1) Steve, I hadn't seen that they added sources when they reverted me, and they still removed a lot of sourced lede content in favor of a list. 2) In doing so, they changed the article from an encyclopedia article to an advertisement that is just a list of `accomplishments`. I've reverted them again, and it is still sitting like that. I'll come back if need be. 3) east718, your decline because protecting would lock out one side of the content dispute seems entirely invalid.

Creation protection: Request this title be WP:SALTed. This article has been created, and speedily deleted, four times now (three of which occurred in the last 90 days) as both overt advertising and a BLP violation. In each case a different account created the page (albeit always with identical text), making a block against the account proper an impotent measure. There's nothing to suggest this page won't continue to be created ad infinitum until it eventually manages to slip under the door (the article creator is savvy enough to put this up only on weekends when there are fewer eyes here).

We are seeking the SALTing of all articles on the list linked. Secondly, requesting Blacklisting of all article titles containing any element in Group 1: (wilayat/wilayah/province including both capital and lower case) combined with any element in Group 2: (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant/ISIL/ISIS/IS/Islamic State). Hopefully this is the right place to request, if not tell us where. See this link], the links to the deletion discussions below it that resulted in all titles and redirects being deleted (lots of policy based comments), and editor discussion above it for support for this action. The continued disruptive efforts to recreate deleted articles with the same or very similar titles necessitates this. Request supported by User:Spirit_of_Eagle, User:Mhhossein, and I expect User:Gregkaye Legacypac (talk) 07:06, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Legacypac, rather than protect these one at a time I've asked at MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist# Wilayats of ISIL if they can be added. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 07:30, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Support protection, a declaration of Wilayat with untranslated content and/or with the use of Wikipedia's voice is a violation of NPOV. Other people's describe the territory as something different. A very similar problem was raised when Daesh proclaimed themselves as "Islamic State" but, fortunately, in this case we had designations such as "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" to fall back on.

I went to go ask Technical 13 and ended up being distracted by another template. Anyway I've asked them now. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 08:27, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
I've setup a page to track this issue where it will not be bot archived. We've deleted 27 similar articles plus 5 related ones so far in 10 different closed deletion discussions. These are akin an American terrorist group calling themselves New York State. Hence the request here. Legacypac (talk) 02:29, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Persistent vandalism on the part of an editor and/or socks. Article was created as a poorly written biographical article with most information copied from Sultan Bahu. This was AfD'ed by myself but I decided to withdraw the nomination after edits turned the article into something meaningful. However, afterwards an editor (and their socks, SPI report pending) went on to turn the article back into hagiography of Sultan Bahu (vandalising linking articles on the way, like Hamza Makhdoom). In brief the article is a ground of edit war and is requested to be protected in its non-biographical version. Suggested time 1-2 weeks, by which time SPI should be completed.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This page used to be semi-protected until last year, so this page became a target of vandalism and blanking after the protection period expired. So I had to clean up some vandalism. For example, I saw in the Background and History section, it mentioned about "Hold On Academy", in which the user who added such line obviously made it up. Also, one user replaced the file on this page with a link to a non-existent page, replacing the link to the file to a profanity-laced link as seen [15] here. Therefore, this page needs to be semi-protected once again. Snowager (talk) 07:33, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

This call for "fixing Wikipedia" is now a couple of months ago [16]. This is just one of dozens of techniques people are attempting to promote on Wikipedia.
Semi protection does not seem to me like an unreasonable bar for participation in controversial topics were issues have occured.

Callanecc, thanks for helping. But how is WP:Semi-protection for one week, or the WP:Pending changes protection you opted for instead, the best option in this case? The Curtis Lepore article keeps needing WP:Semi-protection; it should at least get six months worth of WP:Semi-protection, if not a year of or indefinite WP:Semi-protection. It's tedious to keep requesting WP:Semi-protection for this article. And WP:Pending changes barely helps anything, in my opinion; WP:Vandalism and other WP:BLP violations will slip through in a WP:Pending changes case for this article. Flyer22 (talk) 05:12, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
Not instead, as well as. If you go back the just before the beginning of the year there wasn't as much activity indicating that a long term semi protection probably isn't needed. So the semi is to stop the recent spate and the pending changes filters out anything else for 6 months. If you think still is getting through and being accepted then. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:18, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
Callanecc, thanks for explaining. I still feel that article should be WP:Semi-protected for six months or more, per what I stated above. After the one week wears off, all that will be there is WP:Pending changes. But I'll see how the protection you added goes. On a side note, I restored your "05:18, 8 January 2015" comment above, which was accidentally removed by WayKurat,and signed it using your signature style. Flyer22 (talk) 06:43, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Constantzeanu, I see the IP and their edits, but you would have made a much better case if you explained more fully in the edit summary and on the talk page what the problem is. In fact, simply calling it "vandalism" shows a lack of good faith for those among us admins who don't see what the disruption is. I also note that it's the same IP for over a week now, and thus it's a pretty static one--and I see that you have left no comment for them on their talk page (I left them a templated warning: you would help your case if you wrote them a note, with some details--you know this subject matter, I don't). Finally, full protection for something like this is unwarranted: a. we wouldn't apply full protection and b. we're only talking about a few edits since a brief outburst a month ago.

Permanent semi-protection Frequent target of vandalism by IP's and non-auto confirmed users, either putting their own names in (vanity vandalism) or falsely changing the current champion to their favorite wrestler. A magnet for immaturity. Previous temporary semi-protections haven't dissuaded new childishness (as they are always new users) and almost every edit is either vandalism or its reversion. This isn't based on any particular recent spate of bad edits, but an observation based on years of watch listing the article. oknazevad (talk) 18:30, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Permanent semi-protection. This article has already been semi-protected twice for a month at a time, because an anonymous user, using a dynamic IP address so he/she can't be blocked, has been attempting, on and off for six months, to insert a three-paragraph, context-free quote, attributed to Alan Moore but of no obvious relevance and apparently transcribed from a Youtube video, into the article. The last semi-protection period expired on 30 December, and he/she has just gone back to the same behaviour, repeatedly inserting the same long quote. Permanent semi-protection seems the only way to put a stop to this disruptive behaviour. --Nicknack009 (talk) 23:41, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Move protection: Indefinite request. Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English), "The title of an article should generally use the version of the name of the subject which is most common in the English language, as you would find it in reliable sources (for example other encyclopedias and reference works, scholarly journals and major news sources)." The use of diacritics are not used in the romanization of the word by the BBC, TIME, The New York Times, China Daily, Cambridge University, etc. all cite the term as being 'sheng nu'. Other editors have twice moved, and brought up more than one on the talk page, that they would like to apply a partial spelling (not even the complete) pinyin "sheng nü" as the article title. While it may be correct against the rules of pinyin as per their interpretation, it is not the widely cited romanization of the word. As per Wikipedia policy, the reliable references prevail.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Bollywood films, especially ones that are fresh in the public's minds, are heavily disrupted by a well-documented agenda by various production houses to inflate and deflate box office figures to suit their marketing needs. Here are some examples of improper changes: [17], (3 IPs involved here), this edit changes the box office take to 170 crore rupees but the source only speculates that the film will cross 150 crore rupees "by the end of the week".

Requesting 1 month protection from IPs, since this is a semi-recent movie (December 2014ish) that keeps getting updated box office figures without reliable sources. The article would definitely benefit from interested editors requesting changes and providing sources, which we could then scrutinize.

  • Agreed. I really don't know what to do here. This is controversial material that is under heated discussion on talk by numerous parties. If I leave it in, he claims there's "consensus" to include it because no one is taking it out, and if I take it out, then I'm "edit warring". Gamaliel (talk) 20:26, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
  • For the record, the consensus I speak of was in the past, when the segment stood unchallenged for a month and unmentioned on the talk page. Contrary to Gamaliel's claim, I have never claimed simply leaving it while a discussion about it progresses constitutes a consensus. There has certainly never been a consensus for removing it, however, and yet Gamaliel has repeatedly tried to remove it through sheer edit warring, despite opposition by multiple posters. He initiated the edit warring. Even today, after Casprings and I reached a temporary agreement to let the segment remain while it's discussed, Gamaliel rushed in to revert Casprings and delete the material.

Thanks, Panyd. The reason I think the behavior is disruptive enough to warrant semi-protection is that the IPs are making claims in bad faith. Yeah, we're dealing with True Believers here. We're dealing with a cult leader, so it's to be expected. Self-published, web-only - totally made up smears, AFAICT. http://pvtimes.com/content/about-us.html says : "The Pahrump Valley Times is a bi-weekly newspaper published by Stephens Media LLC. The print edition of the Pahrump Valley Times is distributed on Wednesday and Friday mornings." ISTM challenges are being made in bad faith.

@AlexiusHoratius, the page has been a frequent target for vandalismover the past few years, owing to lack of attention from administrators. Something needs to be done one way or another. ElectricBurst(Electron firings)(Zaps) 20:10, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
You have to just revert them in this case. Check in on it every couple of days. Roll it back if it's garbage, go back to an old version if you have to. But in this case, at least recently on this article, in my opinion the vandalism is not frequent enough for semiprotection (the slow pace of the vandalism would necessitate a long period to be worthwhile.) I know it gets annoying at times; I get annoyed too by it. Sometimes I tell myself that it's the price of having open editing - the reward is an encyclopedia that dwarfs its rivals - but the price is vandalism. AlexiusHoratius 20:27, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

information Administrator note I don't know. This is a major topic that has and will undoubtedly continue to attract disruption. Occasional bursts of high edit rates worries me continuing with pending changes will clutter the PC backlog. There are few constructive edits from unconfirmed users, much appear to be very minor grammatical changes. This makes me inclined to just semi-protect... but I'll leave my analysis for another admin to take into consideration with their decision. At the end of the day, having too many articles under pending changes is the same as having one with a high edit rate. Sometimes for major topics semi is just better. — MusikAnimal talk 22:36, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
Pending-changes protected for indefinite. The turning point for me was that 50 edits go back to last November. That's slow enough to make PC effective. If it gets hit faster, please come back and ask for semi. For now I think PC is working here. Courcelles 08:19, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: IP editor (possibly the same as user Keepitreal2 (talk) consistently makes changes, causing a mini edit-war; he/she refuses to come to the talk page to discuss his/her changes, and accuses other editors of simply embracing an "inconvenient truth" and orders us to "give up, already." Ecjmartin (talk) 19:56, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Comment - I wholeheartedly support Ecjmartin request. Except perhaps the "Indefinite" part. However, as this is a slow edit war (edits come every few weeks), It definitely needs to be long term (perhaps a year).
I do not know if the IP editor is Keepitreal2 or not, but the IP editor absolutely refuses to come to talk page. We (Ecjmartin, Tripleahg, and myself) have asked IP editor to discuss his edits repeatedly. We even started a discussion here that editor refuses to participate in. As this editor us using some method to change IP address at every edit, the only recourse it to semi-protection page, so that editor will have to log in. Then if behavior continues he can be reported to WP:ANI.--- ARTEST4ECHO(Talk) 20:20, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
Changing request from "Indefinite" to "Temporary." Concur with Artist's idea of placing one year's protection on the page; then we can go from there. Have no problem with that idea, at all. - Ecjmartin (talk) 20:25, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
After looking at the User contributions: Keepitreal2, I tend to agree with Ecjmartin. The edit summeirs suggest it is the same person (see here and here) --- ARTEST4ECHO(Talk) 20:32, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Let's try semi first.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by an unknown IP. Please semi-protect for a month. ~ P-123 (talk) 11:35, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

David Biddulph: The IP edits were on a subsection of the userpage, i.e. P123ct/Notes. I requested semi-protection of the whole of the userpage, since the IP if blocked from the subsection will almost certainly go to the rest of the userpage. I removed the edits by the IP which can be seen from the Revision History (see . and ..) Please advise what I should do now. ~ P-123 (talk) 12:14, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
There is a difference between a subpage and a section of a page. I believe that if you want a subpage protecting you need to request that specifically, but the regulars here will hopefully tell you. Note also that you need to be precise when you refer to a page. There is no page P123ct/Notes, nor even User:P123ct/Notes; you probably meant to say User:P-123/Notes, but when making requests you need to be clear. --David Biddulph (talk) 12:27, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
David Biddulph: This is my userpage. Under that, there is a "part" called "P123ct/Notes". The vandalism was to "P123ct/Notes" (see links to the IP's edits in this "part" above). I thought I needed to request semi-protection for the whole of my userpage, i.e. "User:P-123". Where am I going wrong? ~ P-123 (talk) 12:49, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
Your user page has never had any IP edits, as you can see from its history. On that page you have a text string "P123ct/Notes" which you have set up to link to User:P123ct1/Notes, which is merely a redirect. That redirect too has not had any IP edits. The redirect is to User:P-123/Notes, and that is the page about which I believe you are concerned. --David Biddulph (talk) 13:00, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
David Biddulph: Yes, that is the page I am concerned about. An admin advised me to request semi-protection from him directly, or come to this board. As my request here is proving complicated, and as I want the whole of my userpage semi-protected, I think it is best if I abandon this and deal directly with the admin. Thanks for your help in untangling this! ~ P-123 (talk) 13:19, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism from dynamic IPs. IP vandal returns only a few days after the last protection expired. The IP has been identified by another user as a sock of the blocked sockmaster ProfessorJane (see [46]). -Zanhe (talk) 05:31, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

This user Zanhe (talk) is a repeat offender and guilty of multiple deletions of entire pages of sourced material as well as vandalizing pages (see [47]). Zanhe (talk) is also a blocked user that is continually vandalizing pages while trying to use administrators to his advantage so that he can push his pov-ridden edits. Zanhe (talk) is not abiding by Wikipedia's official policy on maintaining a Neutral Point of View for all articles. 71.93.116.103 (talk) 07:06, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Zanhe (talk) is very hypocritical, he is the one deleting entire pages of sourced material and then repeatedly asking administrators to block other editors in his favor just so that he can continue to delete and push his pov on other pages. Please see indisputable evidence of Zanhe (talk)'s past deletions and vandalism of the page (see [50]). Zanhe (talk) is also wrongly and falsely accusing any editor who goes against his non-neutral pov as a so-called sockpuppet. This is an erroneous accusation with no grounding whatsoever.

@Callanecc: I'm not sure if a new SPI would be worth the effort. 74.3.6.26 was already investigated in August 2014 and blocked once. But this user's IPs change so fast (probably using some kind of VPN and/or mobile service) that blocking them is useless. Please take a look at the history of Lord Chunshen, Huang (state), Culture of Korea, and Culture of South Korea to see how many different IPs have repeatedly made the same edits. ProfessorJane's SPI page already lists dozens of IPs. -Zanhe (talk) 08:53, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
If they're using a new range it is worth reporting it as admins will look there to see whether the 'new' IP is within the same range (a hence likely the same) or a different range (quite possibly not the same). Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:00, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
