World Grand Prix (snooker)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – There is an ongoing RFC that affects this name space at Talk:World_Open_(snooker)#Requested_move_11_March_2016. A tournament article should not be constructed here unless the outcome of the RFC is that the World Grand Prix is indeed a completely different tournament and not just a rebranded one (thus necessitating a new article rather than a rename). If a new article is required this will precipitate changes across all the performance tables on many player articles (which currently link to the World Open article) so it is important not to jump the gun otherwise it will lead to the player articles and templates linking to the wrong tournaments (see [4]). For example, if you look at Judd_Trump#Performance_and_rankings_timeline you will see that the World Grand Prix entry encompasses the World Open results, so by creating a new article and not correcting all the links will result in breaking all the links that should link to the World Open. Editors creating a new article at this page without updating the links in the performance tables are creating a catastrophic and inconsistent mess, so I am requesting that the namespace is semi-protected until the RFC concludes. If the outcome of the RFC is to create a new article for the World Grand Prix then creating a new article needs to be part of a systematic approach which encompasses updating the performance tables too.

Unprotection: (remove move protection) There has never been any attempted move of this article, and the original reason for move-protecting this article is now invalid. — Music1201 talk 05:12, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Not unprotected as you failed to contact the protecting administrator (Zzyzx11) as is required and noted above. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 08:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
Question: I am requesting a second admin opinion: iirc, when protection was applied, the article was under vandalism because the "Redskins" name is controversial, so I did both forms of protection at the time. Per WP:MOVP: "Highly visible pages that have no reason to be moved". There was also a discussion about changing the name that is archived here, and there are probably more elsewhere because of this name controversy. Also per WP:POLICY, "Policies and guidelines should always be applied using reason and common sense", so I felt that since the "Redskins" name was being vandalized in the article body itself, it would be only common sense to do WP:IAR and also apply move protection. Now, I'm not sure if the original reason is invalid as the OP suggests because the controversy regarding the name still exists, it is still recently in the news[5][6][7] and there is currently no reason to move the article. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 19:16, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
Note: Zzyzx11, I am in full agreement that both of the original protections were needed and that they continue to be so. In this case there seems to be no net positive to unprotecting or removing pending changes from the article. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 22:53, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
Not unprotected I concur with the two administrators above. Nothing good comes from unprotecting this now. Katietalk 04:27, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – WP:OWNerly "take it to talk" reverting by IPs in the 2606:6000:* range, again, per Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive912#Rangeblock_needed_for_Millennials_.E2.80.94_Generation_X_long-term_disruption. (Page is currently pending-changes protected, but the problem isn't IP introduction of bad content, it's the flat reverting of any content that the IP doesn't 100% understand or agree with.) McGeddon (talk) 19:30, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

The editor McGeddon seems to continue to request page protection for certain generational articles over what she/he claims are violations of Wikipedia edit war policy. Yet based on the bright line rule (more than 3 reverts) it's an exaggeration of the problem. We are not to use page protection when we don't like editing on our preferred pages. Please check how many times McGeddon has requested page protection then compare the actual number of edits and the corresponding talk page proposals to work things out. No editor can have it both ways i.e. engaging in numerous reverts themselves then running to this page and requesting a higher level of page protection over a bogus edit war that they may participated in too. 2606:6000:610A:9000:A5A0:9546:81CE:A4E1 (talk) 20:32, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
If a logged-in user is warned about edit warring and continues to edit war on a single article, that user is blocked. If a logged-out user on a dynamic IP is repeatedly warned about edit warring and continues to edit war a single article, blocking the IP is not an option, but protecting the article is. --McGeddon (talk) 20:38, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
As I said count the number of edits. The burden of proof is on you to show where the 3 bright line rule has been broken, otherwise your claims are unsubstantiated. Wikipedia also doesn't not want us to use page protection as an editing tool. 2606:6000:610A:9000:A5A0:9546:81CE:A4E1 (talk) 20:46, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
The protection change is being requested on the grounds of "disruptive editing", not 3RR. --McGeddon (talk) 20:54, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
But you just wrote above that I was "repeatedly warned" about edit warring. And you are using that claim as a basis for a higher level of page protection on Millennials. I took the time to look at each claim of an edit war (that was made above) and none of them goes beyond the bright line. So where is your proof of an edit war that you are using as a basis of "disruptive editing"? Please stop wasting my time. 2606:6000:610A:9000:A5A0:9546:81CE:A4E1 (talk) 21:06, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

World Open (snooker)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruption – There was a recent RFC on whether to move the article to a separate article which resulted in a "no consensus". As highlighted at this discussion (see the discussion after the closed RFC) this has consequences for hundreds of other articles, specifically the performance tables in the player articles which link through to this article. The IP is refusing to respect the "no consensus" result at this article and at World Grand Prix (snooker) which now means there are a couple of hundred articles where the World Grand Prix link now takes readers to the wrong article. Both articles need to be semi-protected because the IP clearly doesn't understand the issues or simply doesn't care that a couple of hundred of articles need fixing to accommodate the split. Betty Logan (talk) 00:35, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Since when was this a discussion page? No votes should be placed here. -- The Voidwalker Discuss 01:06, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Creating a second article (which informally amounts to an article split) without fixing the internal linking system utterly assf**** a huge number of performance tables. Let me present an example: Judd_Trump#Performance_and_rankings_timeline. On the seventh row of the tournament table you will see an entry for the World Grand Prix, which links through to the World Open. This makes no sense now because the IP has removed the World Grand Prix results from the World Open article. The IP is simply not experienced enough or familiar enough with the structure of the snooker articles to understand their integration. Splitting out the content to another article means that a couple of hundred articles need to be fixed. I proposed an article move to circumvent this problem (the links would stil work through a redirect) but manually splitting the content requires a manual fix. If you look at that discussion Nigej explains the problem in some detail. This is precisely why WP:NOCONSENSUS recommends retaining the status quo; it does not imply that if one side cannot get a consensus to do what they want then the other side gets carte blanche to do what they want. This is why the two articles need to be semi-protected: the IP does not comprehend the damage to the internal linking system that his edits have caused, and right now we have a couple of hundred articles that are now linking to the wrong tournament.

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. I have to agree with Katie on this one, a local group of editors do not get to override site wide consensus on the use of semi-protection (especially indefinite use).

In effect this redirect (imposed within minutes of the article's creation) is an attempt at a kind of speedy deletion of the article, without discussion or process, and without meeting A7 or G11 or any other speedy deletion criterion. The author was within his rights to contest the redirect (and he didn't do it "repeatedly", he did it once).

Declined I think it'd only be of concern if the redirect or the MediaWiki page itself were highly visible. Even if these shortcuts get deleted it's not going to break anything. The CSD shortcuts for instance, which are also linked in the MediaWiki namespace, are only semi'd – and that's only because they've experienced vandalism.

Glaucus atlanticus

Semi-protection: Dumbot removed the existing page protection on March 10th of this year-- since then there have been nearly a dozen reverted edits all from IP addresses and several of them done in good faith (but which were inappropriate for other reasons). The article is often edited by new users and students who are unfamiliar with Wikipedia and its policies (see the talk page section written by Invertzoo for reiteration of this). "Semi-protection" applied for any length of time will only cause this problem to come back in the future (as having had it expire has immediately caused it to return this time). I'd like to propose a longer-term of protection, but would actually like to suggest pending-changes protection as this will allow all of these new editors to "make" changes that other editors can then review and possibly reject if not appropriate. I understand that semi-protection is normally applied to frequently edited articles (which this one is), but semi-protection flat out blocks these editors, and doesn't even let them try to contribute; pending changes allows them to contribute, only not have that contribution actually go "live" until reviewed. I think this makes pending changes much more friendly in terms of attracting potential new editors to the project in the future, which is a perennial lament of Wikipedia. In either case, it looks like the protection should now be made indefinite, as the evaporation of the last one brought the "friendly" (good faith) problem right back full force. Thanks.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Short- or long-term temporary semi-protection: Call of Duty pages are often vandalized by IPs and the page for Infinite Warfare is likely to be heavily vandalized. Some IPs have vandalized it and have made unproductive edits within the past week. The game has received a lot of hate and after the reveal of Battlefield 1, it's definitely prone to vandalism. We can't be sure if the IPs will just let up and vandalize less than usual, but regardless, Call of Duty pages are always targets for vandalism. I'm just not sure how long it should be protected.

Declined The page is currently semi-protected, and I think that is sufficient at the moment. Two autoconfirmed users (each with fewer than 50 edits) have vandalised the article recently, but they have been warned and they have not vandalised since their last warning. If they vandalise again, most admins would happily block them if reported to WP:AIV.
If a few more autoconfirmed accounts turn up, vandalising, I think blocking is still preferable to increasing the protection level. Only if the problem is persisent would I think that increasing the protection level was appropriate.

Brett Davern

Temporary semi-protection: Not done this before, don't even have a Wiki account. Something very odd is happening on Wikipedia regarding what seems to be some kind of super fan or maybe a rogue talent agent for minor celebrities. Someone keeps changing actor's and other minor celebrities personal information, especially their age or children's names. Brett Davern is in his 30s and married, Molly Tarlov is also around 30 and there are others. A lot seem to be mobile edits. The info that's being changed also seems to be being changed elsewhere on the internet but is easily sourced e.g Brett Davern was in a film in 2006 as an adult yet the edit keeps making him a 13yr old boy at that time. No idea how to solve it, not even sure why I care :) 213.105.164.17 (talk) 23:27, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

@Zad68:, would this page be covered under the Extended Confirmed protection requirement? Thanks, Nakon 22:13, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
That page isn't mentioned at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive173#TheRedPenOfDoom, third filing. Is it mentioned elsewhere, in relation to this type of protection?
I think we should apply common sense - i.e. apply that level of protection to that GG-related page if the history warrants it.
I don't think the history does warrant it at the moment. There are two edits that have been reverted, ostensibly because the user doesn't qualify for 30/500. But I think the bigger issue with those edits is that they are off topic. Two off-topic edits don't justify applying this level of protection.
So we are back to my original question: Is 30/500 protection of the meta page mentioned anywhere?
Yaris678 (talk) 12:39, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
I spent the last 30 minutes looking and I can't find any mention of the Meta page being subject to AE. You could make the argument that it qualifies for 30/500 as a subpage, but I don't think the decision to protect pages that are for discussion about discussion about a topic under sanctions should be made here. I think it should go to ARCA for clarification. Katietalk 14:17, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
I'm perfectly comfortable with deciding here whether or not to apply this protection to this page. Going to ARCA seems pointlessly bureaucratic. As you said, protecting a meta page is not explicitly called for, but you could make the argument that it could be included. We can decide that argument, based on whether or not it would help the encyclopedia. The page has had few edits by newish users and has never been subject to sustained attack by throw-away accounts. The two off-topic edits were easily dealt with by reverting them. Having an unnecesary level of protection would prevent this page from being edited by good-faith newish users who may have something valuable to add to the meta discussion. Therefore, it is in the interest of the encyclopedia to not apply that protection unless the page does suffer seriously from off-topic comments by throw-away accounts.

When this is done, please make the request again, or ask any administrator to move the page for you.- Most, if not all, of these articles are bulk protected until an edit filter is developed and tested to protect against LTA Link Smurf, who has proven adept at block evasion and IP hopping, and even defeating existing edit filters. I left a message on the requester's talk page, requesting more information. The requester responded in short order, but the requested information was not provided, only the request to unprotect was repeated. Dave (talk) 04:17, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

This editor, for the record, is attempting to forestall a still-in-progress AFD discussion by unilaterally declaring it closed under the false pretense that it the nomination was withdrawn by the nominator (who would be me, so I know very well whether the nominator withdrew it or not), and the "vandalism" they're trying to report is the restoration of the AFD template to the article — where process requires it to remain until the discussion is properly closed by someone with the authority to close it. I've already protected the page, although full admin-only for the moment. Bearcat (talk) 01:45, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Temporary protection: Persistent vandalism by shifting IP with an axe to grind. No doubt also block evasion DVdm (talk) 20:59, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

It's not my fault my ISP keeps changing my IP. Why would I change it myself every few minutes? Also, I'm allowed to post sources. Nothing wrong with that. That's not vandalism. Ip shifting doesn't mean I'm avoiding block, especially when the edit you reverted is a constructive post of 3 sources previously unknown on the topic. You and everybody else can disagree with what the sources say and with my conclusion, but you can't delete my post because of that. 141.138.22.91 (talk) 21:24, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
It clearly is vandalism, per the warning on top of the talk page. - DVdm (talk) 21:40, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
Which warning? 141.138.22.91 (talk) 21:42, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
No further comment. - DVdm (talk) 21:45, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
Then I really don't have to explain myself for posting sources. You should explain yourself for deleting sources and asking for a page protection because someone had posted sources. What would happen if I now went and found a completely unrelated page where an IP had posted a source and delete his comment and ask for page protection. For instance this topic of mine. 141.138.22.91 (talk) 21:56, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
If you want to see what's vandalism, just scroll up this page and look for what kind of edits page protection is usually asked for. For instance and act of vandalism is deleting someone's sources without an explanation. If I now went to do that to someone else I would be reported and promptly banned, but here we have you asking a page protection against. I should ask the page be protected from you because your acts are acts of vandalism. Deleting perfectly valid comments is an act of vandalism. And when I ask you to explain to why are you doing that to avoid edit warring you delete my comment from your talk page. Well I have stopped reverting you anyways, because I don't want to vandalize the page reverting your vandalism. 141.138.22.91 (talk) 22:13, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

I only see one IP address editing the article this month. Nakon 23:25, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
If you look at some of the previous edits by the various IP's in the page history, you will see that the edits are almost identical. They add new entries to the list with no sources, with no edit summery. The IP user never comments on talk pages, and never responds to warnings. They almost exclusively edit entry lists for Motorsports articles, and train articles (usually trains in the UK). JohnMcButts (talk) 23:33, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
I apologize, but I just don't see enough disruption from other IP addresses this month to justify semiprotection. The IP in question could likely be blocked, and if they evade the block the page could be semiprotected, but at this point it's only one IP editing the article this month.

Indefinite pending changes: BLP policy violations – This page is currently indefinitely semi-protected and has been since March 2015. I'm taking it upon myself to expand this article but I feel that the protection should be reduced to pending changes level-2 in order to help me do so. This page has strong history of BLP vandalism and this could partly be because the subject in question is also a teacher at a high school. I think that the protection should be reduced so as to allow good-faith editors who are not a member of the community to add in information on the subject because it is quite hard to find sources for the man. I would personally review the changes to ensure that there is no BLP violations; this article has so much potential for expansion but I can only add in so much information. Pending changes would still suppress vandalism and deter it, but would also encourage helpful/constructive edits. Also, the protecting administrator is inactive so I can't approach them. They have been so since August 2015.st170etalk 00:14, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

It's my understanding that PC2 is not currently approved by the community, except for truly exceptional cases. I would be willing to downgrade the article to PC1 protection since the original protecting admin is not currently active on the project. Nakon 03:22, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
User:Nakon, I would be quite happy for PC1 to be invoked on this article in place of PC2 protection, it will still deter vandalism and encourage positive editing. st170etalk 03:36, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Done I've removed the indefinite semiprotection for editing and have enabled PC1 protection for 3 months. The indefinite semi-moveprotection is still in effect. Thanks, Nakon 03:39, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Indefinite template protection: Highly visible template – {{Lang-el}} was recently updated to use the template in question. Lang-el is already template-protected (with 16000+ transclusions). This backing template needs protection as well (transclusion count underway, but it will be at around 18000+). — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 20:15, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

A quick follow-up, the transclusion count has stopped at around 18300, which certainly makes this a High-risk template. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 01:09, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Donald Trump

This is the current header for the politics section of the Donald Trump article:

"Trump has described his political leanings and positions in various ways over time.[200][201][202] Politico has described his positions as "eclectic, improvisational and often contradictory".[202] He has listed his party affiliation as Republican, Independence Party, Democrat, and "decline to state".[202][203] He has also run as a Reform Party candidate.[203] Specifically, he has changed his positions on taxing the wealthy, abortion rights and health care.[202]"

I think it is unfair to describe his positions as inconsistent and say nothing else in the first paragraph, especially since the 4 sources used clearly have an anti-Trump bias just by looking at the titles. Instead, it should outline his positions listed here Donald Trump Positions. I would even be open to including both, but it is unfair to just say that his positions flip-flop.

@George Ho: I stand by my decision: RFP is not the right venue to decide what is essentially a content/inclusion/exclusion dispute. As a sidenote: for now, I do not see there is consensus to include what you would like to include. Gain concensus for a change, and it will be changed. Either way, it can not be done via RFP.

@Nakon: I have created many salted articles (Abbas Ali Khan, Raxstar, Bilal Saeed) and every time I requested unprotection my request was accepted but I don't know why you rejected it. And Tokyogirl79 deleted the page per discussion which took place in 2010. And I have created the article after five years. You can clearly see the signs of notability in the article. I have now moved it to draft and I'll submit it after checking it once.--Musa Talk  06:21, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
  • @Nakon: It looks like this is Mnaqvii evading a block for sockpuppetry that he received back in 2014. This username is the same as one of his sockpuppets, SMusaRaza, which was confirmed at SPI. Musa Raza looks to be a WP:DUCK since he is editing on the same topics and has even created an article for one of the same people that the accounts were trying to add. Also, Mnaqvii was specifically told that he should not open up a new account and that he should seek an unblock in the future under his main account. This looks to be a clear attempt to circumvent the guidelines. I'm also concerned about the sourcing on the draft article since some of them don't actually link to a news story and the others are trivial mentions or go to places Wikipedia wouldn't really consider reliable. Given that it was deleted at AfD and there's a history of sockpuppetry, the sourcing would have to be quite strong and I don't see where that's the case here. I'm going to block Musa Raza for block evasion and sockpuppetry. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:38, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Ongoing vandalism since July 2013, usually from the 75.120.X.X range. The edits are too numerous to list so I will list just one from each month since it started to prove that it is persistent campaign: July 2013; August 2013; September 2013; February 2014; March 2014; April 2014; May 2014; July 2014; October 2014; December 2014; protected January-April 2015; May 2015; June 2015; October 2015; November 2015; December 2015; January 2016; March 2016; April 2016; May 2016; the most recent. This is just a sample and it barely scratches the surface. These temporary protections are no good: a month long lock-up won't deter an editor who has conducted a 3-year campaign The page needs either indefinite semi-protection or at least indefinite pending changes.

Temporary full-protection The essay is under RfC for promotion to Guidance level.Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Promote_WP:Tagging_pages_for_problems_to_guideline

An editor has already modified the content without consensus.diff Though not a substantial change, the editor has a history of degrading articles which are under discussion (AfD see edit history of deleted article) to match his ideology and desired outcome. There is likely to be other contention, where editors modify the content.

A rollback to the submitted verson [(old version)] and protection is requested, so the policy vote is not on a moving target. The editor's content can be added after the vote with wider consensus. 009o9Disclosure(Talk) 20:59, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

The "frequently deleting my photos" bit seems to refer to the nonfree images this user has repeatedly uploaded, for which this user has been blocked at Commons. Intelligentsium 14:44, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Actually, i uploaded some images from other sites.But some users are telling that its probably a copyright violation. I had also given the source and Appropriate licences of those inages.But still, those files have been deleted. So for this reason, i am asking a protection to my article Nilakkal.

Candace Cameron Bure

Temporary semi-protection: Disruptive editing – IPv6 user - assuming same user, but dynamically assigned address through same 64-bit prefix - has been persistently reinstating edits which were initially rejected by this revert [53], and then twice by me. The edits include unsourced material and unexplained removal of valid wikilinks to other articles. IP has not yet discussed their edits on the article's talk page (or mine or another editor's talk page) after being reverted, as recommended per WP:BRD, and simply reinstates their edits without explanation. As the IP has a different address each time, warnings and other sanctions will not help, and thus semi-protection is best here. MPFitz1968 (talk) 15:06, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Senior Advisor to the President of the United_States

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Mike Schwartz (talk) 06:52, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Please feel free to check the fact that (so far) during this calendar year [2016], there have been only THREE edits to this article, -- (not counting reverts) -- and ALL THREE of them had to be reverted -- (I just recently did so) -- due to IP vandalism.

(e.g., see the "History" page.)

I could see that there was NO justification given (in the edit summaries) for the DELETION of valid text (or section contents) (which in one case was a big table) ... and the one edit which had ADDED some text ... was (feel free to check the diff!) just blatant vandalism.

All three of these (IP vandalism) edits were by anonymous ("IP address") users (editors).

I do not know how long the "Semi-protection" should remain in effect.

This is the first time (that I know of) (unless I forgot some... but that's unlikely!) that I have ever submitted this kind of a request for "Semi-protection" of any page. (in "article space" or anywhere else ... iirc.)

I hope I did this correctly. In any event, any feedback or advice or other comments, would be appreciated. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 06:52, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. If you have not done so already, please read the protection policy. Wikipedia is built around the principle that anyone can edit it, so protection should be applied sparingly. Semi protection is useful when there is a significant amount of disruption or vandalism from new or unregistered users; this is not the case in the article above. High level of vandalism would mean multiple disruptive edits per day. Lectonar (talk) 08:42, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Template:Rfd2 multi

Permanent template-protected: Template editor protection requested, inline with {{subst:Rfd2}} of which this is a wrapper. Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 05:28, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Comment: It appears that there are 0 transclusions of this template though, which doesn't make this a highly visible template. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 18:30, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Declined – This template is not used widely enough to be considered a high-risk template. Lectonar (talk) 19:22, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
It is a subst-only template, and should never have any transclusions. The risk is that if improperly edited, the result may corrupt the output of the high risk template it wraps. Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 21:47, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi Fred Gandt, sorry for jumping to a conclusion, didn't realize this was subst-only. An admin should probably take another look at this then. To admins, sorry for mal-clerking this a bit here, if I did. I personally think semiprot should be enough for this. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 02:49, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
@Andy W.: Mistakes happen; to err is human and all that . Semi-prot would be acceptable as long as it has watchers, but since it's new and only has one editor so far (me), I seriously doubt it has many (1). It wraps a high use template and if a devious nogood discovered it, they could cause a lot of bother very quickly and easily by fiddling with it in inappropriate ways. If it had more people caring for it, I'd be less bothered, but with what is likely to be only me (so far), I'd play it safe and opt for template-prot in line with the template it wraps.

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Massive edit war, several users are reverting for a long time, now including sock-puppets too . Axiomus (talk) 15:01, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

  • Comment And can the protecting admin please restore the consensus version as agreed on the talk page (i.e. the last version by Izkala on 23 May). A sockpuppetry report has also been filed. Thanks, Number 57 15:04, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. As I sidenote: if a page is fully protected at all, it will be protected as it is in the moment protection is implemented....usually the wrong version Lectonar (talk) 19:32, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Whilst we're waiting for the SPI to be dealt with, there's not much point in filing an edit warring report too. It's basically one user against everyone else editing the article (and has been for some time). If someone is going to protect it on the wrong version, don't bother (and this isn't the way it has to be – I have protected pages in the past and reverted back to the pre-edit war version when it was clear one party was transgressing). Number 57 19:59, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Then go ahead....I have seen faster reaction on the edit-warring board many times, though. Btw, I only revert back to an older version while semiprotecting. Lectonar (talk) 20:30, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Why not fix it then? Widr (talk) 09:02, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
@Widr: Because the history shows that some users have not reverted vandalism in time. Such as the fact of having to be reverting back to pre-vandalised state. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 09:57, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
It's infrequent and manageable with reverts, if the vandalism is too much of a problem then watchlist the article. Semi-protection is an incredibly blunt tool, it shouldn't be used for all instances of persistent vandalism when it might simply need someone keeping an eye on it. tutterMouse (talk) 15:29, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Indefinite template protection: Highly visible template – 1500+ transclusions. George Ho (talk) 10:46, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

(non-administrator comment) I agree. {{High-use}} suggests a transclusion count of 2000+, and {{High-risk}} suggests 100K. Semiprotection should be enough. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 20:04, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Template protected indefinitely. Given that by its very nature it is used on a high amount of BLPs, I agree with the previous protecting administrator that this is a high-risk template. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 04:24, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

  • Done Shearonink, I've given the page an indefinite semi-protection. Initially I was only going to do it for a few months, but the page protection history shows that edit protection has been needed quite frequently over the years, enough to where I think that it'd be reasonable for this to be indefinitely protected.

Today in addition to edit-warring, that anon IP, 86.173.237.249, appears to be trying to evade 3RR by sock-puppeting as 86.173.238.156.--Tenebrae (talk) 15:39, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Declined, what they are doing is correct (not sure why they are not discussing though).--Ymblanter (talk) 21:02, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
@Ymblanter: With all respect, they are inserting non-standard formatting so that some GCD citations in the same article are given one way and some are given another. Additionally, the status quo format is the standard in WikiProject Comics and there was no consensus on any change to this. They are flouting WP:BRD, edit-warring and sock-puppeting. That is not correct. --Tenebrae (talk) 00:51, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Symphony for Organ No. 5 (Widor)

Long-term semi-protection: Persistent WP:LINKSPAM and WP:PROMOTION and deletion of content, from a teenager on an obsessive campaign to promote his own YouTube video, hopping across at least 9 single-purpose "throwaway" accounts over 3.5 years. The SockPuppet Investigation reviewed the details and concluded "There is nothing we can do here" to deter an editor who serially abuses & abandons multiple sock accounts for a day at a time. Rather than protecting the article, another editor suggested blacklisting the specific YouTube video – but the Spam BlackList admin concluded that it wouldn't be effective and recommends long-term semi-protection as the best tool for resolving the problem.

Why? Just because you have a user name your preferred, redundant version should be honored over the better, non-redundant version? Do you think you WP:OWN that article?

Also, if you're suggesting that we go to the talk page, then why are you not taking your own suggestion by doing that? 2600:100E:B123:68D6:410C:158C:5B11:D169 (talk) 20:16, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

I'm not the one making the changes. Mlpearc (open channel) 20:28, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

But you are the one who falsely believes a page should be "protected" from someone who adds descriptiveness while removing wordiness, even in line with the manual. That really seems like WP:OWN. Tell us, why don't you, why you believe an article should supposedly "not" match that format even though it actually IS an improvement (because mentioning that it's a stage name adds description without adding much wordiness, which I would assume is why the manual was written that way), disruptive editor?

2600:100E:B123:68D6:410C:158C:5B11:D169 (talk) 20:38, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Please see WP:BRD. Essentially, you made a change that Mlpearc disagreed with and thus reverted. Now, you should have taken to the talk page to explain your position and why the article should read a certain way. Instead, you reverted to your preferred version, which is the start of a edit war. Yes, Mlpearc continued it, but the burden is on you to justify your changes on the talk page. clpo13(talk) 21:00, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Did I not just do that right here? And if pearc continued that warring with as many reversions, then why does he not get treated with the same warning, per "even if you think you are right" clause at wp:3rr? 2600:100E:B123:68D6:410C:158C:5B11:D169 (talk) 21:22, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Requested this level of protection before, but I was advised there wasn't enough activity to justify it. Certainly there is enough in the history now, which in some cases has involved multiple "new" accounts making the same edits (possible SPI is needed). Recommend protecting this for at least a week.

Semi-protection: A new user has repeatedly removed the same well sourced content from the page. This appears to be said user's only purpose in editing Wikipedia. The new user began 4 days ago. 1st removal, 2nd removal, 3rd removal, 4th removal I have asked the user to discuss on talk which he has not done. I have attempted to improve the article to address the user's criticisms without deleting well sourced content, but his repeated blanking of the section makes it difficult. I am requesting a week of semi-protection to allow for continued improvement without it leading to an edit war. I will refrain from further edits until a decision on protection is reached.

Declined Premature. No where near the traffic or problem to lock it up just yet. If it was only the IP and he were to continue to war over an info box, I would be more inclined to semiprotect a bit and block him. Still, I recommend dropping a note on his talk page inviting to the talk page first. Give him a chance to cooperate. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 20:44, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Donald Trump

I request a change to the Donald Trump page, it gives him several titles in the info box such as "Cahirman of the Trump Organization" and "Republican nominee for President"". I cannot find another company chairman with titles in the info box and zero previous nominees of the Republican/Democratic Party have had a title in the info box in the past, or presently. Both these titles should be removed. Trump is not an officeholder http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Template:Infobox_officeholder Jzema (talk) 21:04, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Article was again disruptively edited by the same dynamic ip only hours after the end of the last protection period.--Phso2 (talk) 11:53, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Declined I wouldn't call that disruptive. The IP added some unsourced content, but that's not the end of the world. Try discussing it on the article talk page. Try Google, you may be able to find sources yourself. If you are convinced the new content is wrong, explain why on the talk page. Yaris678 (talk) 15:15, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
This content has already been added and reverted several times ([76], [77], [78] [79]etc) by some user who uses dynamic ip on several pages, and only pops up regularly to put again and again the same unsourced content. That may not be the end of the world, but basically the solution proposed here is merely to revert ad nauseam...--Phso2 (talk) 17:41, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
I know it's hard to discuss things with a dynamic IP, but here are two things that are worth a try:
  • Explain on the talk page what is wrong with the new content.
  • Give reasons for your reverts in your edit summaries. If you've added an explanation to the talk page, you can just say "see the talk page". I know you can't do anything about other editors when they revert, but its worth a try with your reversions.
If you do those things, and the dynamic IP ignores it, I'd be happy to protect the page.
