Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP Vandalism; addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content that could be seen as defamatory to the page in question. livelikemusic talk! 12:20, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. @Livelikemusic: I would be interested to know how you think unsourced rumours of the Sugababes reforming is "vandalism" when there is a source here (though I think you are within WP:BLP policy to keep that tabloidesque gossip piece out of the article) and would recommend you look at Hanlon's razor (or my field guide). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:22, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP edit warring and accusations of block evasion - GalatzTalk 13:28, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. 2a02:c7d:bf3c:3900::/64 blocked 2 weeks NeilN talk to me 15:29, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Edit warring by multiple accounts and IPs. Looks to be possible sock or meat puppetry. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 14:05, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

The issue looks to have been sufficiently dealt with, and protection probably isn't needed at this point. Feel free to decline and close this report if no further edit warring continues after Foxj's reversion. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 14:24, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
Declined Re-report if necessary or drop a note on my talk page. NeilN talk to me 15:23, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Temporary Semi-protection: Precautionary measure since it's the day today (2016-07-01) in Canada and is mentioned on Google Doodle for Canadian users and on Wikipedia's On This Day. Ryan (talk) 14:14, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

DeclinedPages are not protected preemptively. NeilN talk to me 15:21, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Full-protection: High level addition of unsourced and speculative content. – Sabbatino (talk) 08:08, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. That would be akin to cracking a nut with a sledgehammer; the semi-protection is fine for the moment. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:11, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing. Laber□T 12:10, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Declined Although some edits are disruptive, the article has still got a high amount of traffic, so I think there will be enough eyes to revert anything suspicious on demand for now. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:17, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. A guy saved by Jesus (talk) 17:24, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected by Kinu for 24 hours. tutterMouse (talk) 18:36, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Frequent IP vandalism over the past two to three months. Semi-protection for a month or two could help to discourage further vandalism from this person or group. This is the second request for semi-protection, the first request was granted pending-change protection instead (see here) but vandalism continued unabated. – Quoth (talk) 11:00, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. To be perfectly honest, a block is the right answer here, but the IP keeps shifting and the IP range is huge and has far too much collateral damage to get done. As a "first offence" I've gone with three days just to see if that's enough; if the vandalism carries on, give me a whistle and I'll up it to indefinite. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:14, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
@Ritchie333: Thanks Ritchie, but I think 3 days might be a little too short for them to get the idea – there can be a few days between vandalisms, so we'd be fortunate if we caught one of their attempts. How about we make it 2 weeks, hopefully by which time they've tried and failed enough times to give up, and if that doesn't work, then a few months or longer? – Quoth (talk) 16:02, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
Alright, having scrolled back through the history, I'll take it up to two weeks as there seems to be very little good-faith editing from IPs right now, and this trouble goes back to May and beyond. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:06, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Temporary Semi-protection: Ref desk troll is back at it. MarnetteD|Talk 16:01, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 12 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. NeilN talk to me 16:08, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Some people keep changing his birthdate. SLBedit (talk) 17:00, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. This article has been spent more time semi-protected than not recently, and the disruption started up immediately after the previous protection expired. I call three strikes and you're out, so I would need to see evidence that no disruption will re-occur before unprotecting. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:49, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – This player is rumoured to have signed a contract with the Montreal Canadiens, but there is no confirmation yet, semi for a bit would help. Dbrodbeck (talk) 17:03, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Two IPs have both violated WP:3RR reverting each other just this afternoon. Jeez. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:53, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. 74.103.217.48 (talk) 12:36, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. NeilN talk to me 15:49, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent removal of content and harassing by IP(s). Also harassed Simione001 personally on his talk page. --SuperJew (talk) 13:08, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

That link there is only the tip of the iceberg, [1], [2]. Simione001 (talk) 13:20, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
Blocking won't help, as s/he uses a range of IP's. --SuperJew (talk) 15:32, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
Pending-changes protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. NeilN talk to me 15:55, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Ever since his speech at the BET Awards, the subject's page has been consistently, several times a day, defaced with often pretty vile racist vandalism. It's like every white supremacist who's never been on Wikipedia before has decided to jump in. --Tenebrae (talk) 15:32, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. PC 1 month. NeilN talk to me 15:35, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism.--Bozalegenda (talk) 13:51, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. NeilN talk to me 15:25, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Ongoing unsourced additions. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:49, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Nakon 05:09, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
I beg to differ, Nakon; pretty much all IP edits since April have been unconfirmed (and likely fanmade) additions. Leaving it unprotected now is basically asking for trouble. Snuggums (talk / edits) 07:23, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: This has had some vandalism from IPs for a while now. Someone (or perhaps multiple people) under different IPs keeps adding the name "My Vagina" as a fake album name under the "Discography" section. This has been going on since May. Kokoro20 (talk) 04:50, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Nakon 05:22, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: Seems a bit pointless to leave this page unprotected whilst the corresponding user is Oversight blocked indefinitely. Mike1901 (talk) 07:47, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Seems a bit pointless to protect unless someone's going to do some gravedancing which feels unlikely. The talkpage is protected by request of the user though so under that reasoning a full protection for the userpage could be helpful. tutterMouse (talk) 09:30, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
Have to disagree there TutterMouse, I've already reverted one IP edit to it today, and others have reverted three other peices recently - it might be worth protecting for a week or so until interest dies down? -- samtar talk or stalk 09:44, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
Semi-protected If autoconfirmed users start to gravedance/vandalise....we shall probably resort to blocks instead of full protection. Lectonar (talk) 09:47, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Anon IP is now edit warring to return article wording to non-consensus version, even after consensus seeking started via discussion on article talk page - in which IP has not taken part. Personal attack now added by IP into latest edit summary ("The Kennedy's would have lobotomized you") which shows disruption only intended. If protection added, request article be returned to improved version that was established prior to last disruptive reversion by IP. -- WV 17:35, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Declined. Pot, meet kettle. Your both black. 107.77.192.118 (talk) 18:04, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
As I'm sure you already know, you don't get to decide "not done" as you are not an administrator. But, your continuation of the disruption here (along with hounding my edits) is noted. -- WV 18:13, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – There seems to be an edit war between IPs from various areas in the Middle East over the origins of nougat, including things like the names of places. Scjessey (talk) 19:23, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Nakon 05:06, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Article seems to attract a slow but steady stream of IP-based POV pushing. VQuakr (talk) 19:16, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Katietalk 20:37, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Pizza and nachos

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. I gather from others' edit summaries and the commentary by blocked user User talk:184.167.6.58 that 4chan's project this week involves encouraging folks to edit-war into these articles the notions that "'go 'za", "'ork 'za", and "'chos" are ubiquitous slang terms for Chicago-style pizza, New York-style pizza, and nachos, respectively. Chicago-style pizza was protected for a couple of days and the misconduct resumed within minutes of the page protection's expiration, so it may take at least a week before the novelty wears off. Julietdeltalima (talk) 19:45, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected one week for Nachos, Chicago-style pizza, New York-style pizza, and Pizza in the United States. Holding off on St. Louis-style pizza for now. It should be protected if disruption increases to the level of the other four articles. Katietalk 20:35, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of continuous IP vandalism, now veiled as "talk page discussion" prior to simply deleting or rewriting cited summaries... from User:Alexis Ivanov. I've asked this editor to not arbitrarily delete content, but instead to search for citations that support what may be currently unsourced. I performed source finding today and added citations to several unsourced portions, and the editor simply went on to further contest already the newly cited material (ignoring their previous contentious issue). I am requesting page protection because having to revert an article almost daily is discouraging, and then having to walk someone through their misunderstandings and so on, is quite tasking and makes one think twice about performing good faith effort in developing poorly written / cited articles. HafizHanif (talk) 23:33, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

I don't understand why you are lying, and hiding behind the veil of other people rescuing you. I didn't deleted any content because it was unsourced, I edited the content to a better wording after you have failed to read the page 90, not only that you are continuing to disagree with the same source you are using and injected your own conclusion.

Not done Hanay, I sympathize and revdelled the edits but we cannot protect, let alone indefinitely protect, because of one edit in six months. NeilN talk to me 15:12, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
@NeilN: This is amazing, I told you what she is doing, and you think that this is not enough. I saw that you hide what she wrote, thank you for that. We wiil see how soon she wiil return. Hanay (talk) 15:19, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Hanay, and if the disruption continues in the near future, your talk page can be semi-protected for a short period of time, but not indefinitely. Other admins, please keep an eye on Hanay's talk page. --NeilN talk to me 15:24, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
@NeilN: I found now another edit of her see here. The meaning of the user name she used in Hebrew is: "Hanay is a troll and she came to destroy wikipedia", Please block this user name. Thanks Hanay (talk) 15:42, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Blocked. --NeilN talk to me 15:52, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
@NeilN: But now you create a page User talk:אני.הטרולית.חנה.יריב.את.התרבות.אני.אחריב that can be found by searching. That what she want. I would appreciate if you delete it. Thanks. Hanay (talk) 16:29, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Hanay, I know it's unpleasant but you'll have to learn to ignore it. Every day we get user name variations of "x is a [insult]". We block, add a notice, and move on. --NeilN talk to me 16:34, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
@NeilN:I am sorry to read your answer. In commons they agreed to delete the talk page. For you it is easy to say to me "move on". What you are doing is to feed the troll. I made a mistake to tell you about this user name. I Hebrew wikipedia we are more assertive in fighting trolls, we do not say to user "move on" we do care about the feelings of the users. Do you have at least here a template "not for search" We have it in Hebrew wikipedia. If you do, can you at least add it to the talk page? Thanks Hanay (talk) 16:46, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Hanay, each WMF wiki has its own policies and guidelines. And I think every active admin on the English Wikipedia including myself has had a similar situation happen to them. I believe talk pages on the English Wikipedia are not indexed as a default but I've added the NOINDEX keyword just in case. If you have further concerns, please post to my or any other admin's talk page. --NeilN talk to me 16:55, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Elreysintrono. In this case, if the editor has inappropriate content on their user page, we would warn them, and if the inappropriate additions continued, block them. Basically, if it's one problematic editor, a block is preferable than a protect, no matter what page it is. --NeilN talk to me 16:05, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Please add pending changes protection for an indefinite period of time, until stability reigns over this article. During a recent patrol, I was drawn to notice the unreasonable amount of IP trolling the article has endured for a considerable while. The cumulative effect has sadly disheveled this important Wikipedia article and the bad guys do just enough damage to avoid being blocked. The good guys will benefit from the handicap as they restore this article's credibility. When it is again: encyclopedic, its integrity ought to be maintained. Consider, for example: the copyvio introduced over 1 year ago by a single purposed account; it persists in the article to this very day. I'll be giving my attention to fixing the article as soon as I can. Please protect it from further harm with PC, as a prudent next step. Thank you.--John Cline (talk) 06:45, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Apologies, I posted this question earlier and can't find where I posted to read any answers. I'm not even sure it was on this page. Anyway, I believe Momentum Worldwide is creation protected, and I've written a short stub draft for approval and to ask for the protection to be lifted. Thanks for your help. Draft: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Draft:Draft:_Momentum_Worldwide — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.252.58.115 (talk) 22:01, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the ping Katie. The draft remains promotional in tone, and doesn't provide strong evidence that this firm is actually notable: the Wall Street Journal article is a lightweight piece, and the NY Times article is about a brand of whisky and only briefly mentions this company's role in promoting it. The other sources don't look high quality - the Ad Week story is basically a press release, for instance. Given that there have been repeated attempts to create an article on this firm and this article isn't up to scratch I don't think it would be a good idea to remove the protection.

It is important to note that the editor considers himself the "Protector of Haq (Truth)." Thus, it will be prudent to protect this page on temporarily basis if not on indefinite basis before situation gets out of hand and drive each and every editor who will get involved to reinvent the wheel again.

Temporary protection Persistent edit-warring by one registered editor (and his IPs) to add cut&paste WP:Copyvio material and unsourced content. Refusal to respond to discussion requests on article Talk page and User Talk page. Hoping a brief protection will nudge the editor to the Talk page. Xenophrenic (talk) 14:19, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. You didn't say if you wanted full or semi-protection. Semi won't work and I don't think we're at full protection quite yet. I've warned the registered user against edit warring. If he or the IPs revert again, take him to AN3.

Temporary protection with changes by all editors being subject to review: I've seen that this article has been having a lot of back and forth reverts.

NeilN, I don't know if it might be appropriate to say after you've taken a decision but I think 1 week is far too less. The death of the subject will likely be relevant in the minds of people biased towards him (both favorably and unfavorably) even after 1 week considering the article's subject Burhan Wani was the most notorious militant in Kashmir. I suggest the protection time period should be atleast 1 month. Please consider increasing the time period of protection.117.199.93.94 (talk) 22:46, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
Full protection for a month for an article that has never been protected before is heavy-handed. Also, the talk page is completely unused except for your two very recent edit requests.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. This is the right place to request that the page be protected, but not necessarily the best place to resolve the dispute.

Create protection: Repeated recreation by this non-notable individual who claims to be the head of something called "Uzomedia" and his sockdrawer (I have filed an SPI regarding the new accounts involved with this new iteration of the article). There have been multiple iterations of this name with different capitalization, punctuation, spacing, and ordering of "Uzoma" and "Michael". Query whether some kind of edit filter or preemptive salting can be effectuated with respect to "Uzomedia," which seems to be the common denominator of the socks and speedied articles emanating therefrom over the past several months. (I'm not an admin so I can't go dig diffs/links of the long-speedied other Michael/Uzoma/Uzomedia articles up, but there are at least seven of them; I'm just like this about names, and I've been seeing "Uzoma", "naija" as another username component, and "Uzomedia" repeatedly since the beginning of 2016 at least.)

Considering the page has never been protected, I don't think "longterm semi" is the right way to go. Edits are very infrequent, and there are some good contributions from anons.

Unsalting Hello. I was hoping that LaToya Forever could be unprotected from creation so I can add an article I have written on her, it was protected in November 2013 due to being created by a banned user. Full disclosure I am being paid by someone who contacted me through Fiverr to create an article that is within Wikipedia guidelines, full sources etc. to demonstrate the notability of the subject. I have written the article and I believe it is both neutral and factual and should be acceptable within Wikipedia guidelines. The article is currently residing at User:MPJ-DK/Draft Space 2 but due to the actions of a banned user over two-and-a-half years ago it's still just a draft. I was hoping that after reading the article that you could unlock the page and let me create it? Please let me know if you have any concerns etc. always happy to address any issues there may be with my request. Original admin is User:NawlinWiki and I posted on his page, but there is no activity since March so I took it here instead, hope that is okay??  MPJ-DK  02:41, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

If either IP pops up again, a long-term block would be appropriate. If it remains only those two IPs doing the unsourced changes, then long-term blocks are more appropriate than protection.

There've been lots of nationalist problems with this article in the past. (See the talk page and the archives). People dispute about the history of Bulgaria and the Turkish connection. A neighboring country, Macedonia, is also indefinitely semiprotected. In my opinion, PC is not of much use against long-term POV pushing, it is more for drive-by vandalism. So I favor keeping the indefinite semiprotection. EdJohnston (talk) 14:09, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: persistent vandalism and BLP violations. Nearly every edit for the past I'd say year has been either vandalism or reverting vandalism.

Reduce protection: Please reduce the protection to semi like sister template {{album chart}}. Experienced users and non-sysops like me who maintain the charts have to always go through edit requests.

Redirect link update to point to Wikipedia:Don't be a dick. This includes a {{Historical}} tag asking people to avoid using this term, and a link to its deprecation discussion (at meta). This will be consistent with the treatment of WP:DIVA and Wikipedia:Don't feed the divas. Making the request here since WP:DICK does not have its own talk page, and I don't want people to confuse this with making changes to WP:DBAJ and Wikipedia:Don't be a jerk, which have not been deprecated (just as WP:DIVA's replacement page, Wikipedia:Don't be high maintenance, has not been). PS: After the link fix, the WP:DICK shortcut should be removed from Wikipedia:Don't be a jerk. Already took care of all this for the WP:DBAD shortcut. WP:JERK is unaffected, and goes to a humor page which also links to meta:Don't be a jerk just like the rest of these do more directly via soft redirs.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  20:38, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

I think this is okay, but one could argue "dick" is a bit more offensive than "diva" and perhaps doesn't deserve the same treatment. E.g. I click on WP:DICK and I don't see more dick, I see "jerk" MusikAnimal talk 04:24, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent IP user vandalism. They continue to re-order the language order because they want their own native language to be first. This is linguistic nationalism and it's gone on for too long, the original ordering of the languages is in alphabetical order. I tried protecting it yesterday but it was declined. I can't properly warn the vandal because their IP address constantly changes. The IP vandalised only three days ago. A registered user at the start of the year tried warning a registered user who originally was doing the same thing to stop, it failed at first but they eventually stopped a few months ago, now a dynamic IP user has begun to do the same thing.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Under the light of the edits and editing behavior displayed so far by KevinAbdulqader (after ProtectorOfHaq and ZaynfromNY) (Please, see KevinAbdulqader (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log),2001:56a:7230:b00:508e:53d1:e1a9:a05d (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 2001:56a:7230:b00:445b:84dc:d278:846d (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 2604:2000:B088:7000:C597:5416:5908:CD47 (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) and 50.117.45.69 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)) and the talk history of this article, one can safely determine that this editor is a possible reincarnation of an old and/or blocked editor (possibly Baboon43) as he is removing the same independent, academic and verifiable content from the article which has been "discussed" and "re-discussed" over and over again throughout the history of this article. It is important to note that he suddenly showed up 24 hours ago and made the first edit and with reference to the Talk Page, one can see that I already have had an extensive discussion over the edits recently made with him and still he reverted to the same version to which he originally showed up and created the Wikipedia id for. He is accusing me of belonging to some organization and yet he doesn't name it. Thus, it will be prudent to protect this page on temporarily basis if not on indefinite basis before situation gets out of hand and drive each and every editor who will get involved to reinvent the wheel again. Thank you. McKhan (talk) 18:53, 21 July 2016 (UTC)


I have no opinion on whether the Al-Ahbash page should be be protected. But McKhan please do not characterize my edits as vandalism.

    • Ah, thanks, I wasn't aware of that. It's not a big deal, I just didn't know there's an actual policy reason for the protection. (The examples given on that page are more obvious targets for protection, this one might be too, though not as much as those.) I guess they won't really need to be edited often, though I made edit requests to fix the redirect categories, and I thought I'd ask here as I didn't see vandalism, but I was not aware of that section you linked to. nyuszika7h (talk) 18:08, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
  • Yeah, protection policy doesn't address redirects at all, and going by that you weren't wrong, but the redirect guideline does allow for the protection of redirects for something as simple as "no reason to edit". Swarm 18:15, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Unprotect: On 20 July 2016 @Swarm: semi-protected Quantico (TV series) for "Persistent vandalism" which expires 20 August 2016. The page appears to be the subject of a content dispute - not vandalism. Swarm appears not to be active and has not responded to my question on his/her talk page. Toddst1 (talk) 18:32, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

  • @Toddst1: Hi Toddst! Apologies for being away. This article was semi-protected pursuant to a request here and the page history shows a concerning and persistent amount of vandalism and/or disruptive editing by IPs and new users. The page appears to be suffering from the "lawless", arbitrary and uncollaborative editing that so commonly afflicts these TV show pages, and we can only hope that the semi-protection will perhaps get this problem under control. I would argue that the benefits of semi-protection would outweigh the benefits of unprotection. This isn't a response to the content dispute you're involved in, and should not affect that dispute at all. You, AlexTheWhovian, and the third user Elainasla are all autoconfirmed and thus remain completely unaffected by the semi-protection of the article. It should literally not affect the content dispute at all. Swarm 17:44, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

  • protection policy: "Talk pages are not usually protected, and are only semi-protected for a limited duration in the most severe cases of vandalism." Policies are not written in stone but given how clear the precedent is on this I think an exceptional case would have to be made to justify upholding an indefinite semi. Given the page we're talking about, though, it's conceivable such a case could be made. Swarm 17:53, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
    • Semi-protection until November seems sensible, in my opinion. If I recall correctly, one of the reasons this is semi-protected is a sockmaster who was making accusations that Trump was connected to certain white supremacy groups repeatedly on talk pages. Those sorts of severe BLP violations justify semi-protection. ~ Rob13Talk 19:48, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
I would be inclined to leave it protected until after the election as well. If memory serves, someone kept posting a flood of death threats there before I protected it as well. I suspect there will be a high likelihood of continuing disruption in some way or another, but I haven't been too active lately so I'll defer to a more active admin.

Maybe the admins who declined those requests are in favor of that fucking vandal. Sixth of March 13:33, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Catholic Media Network Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The other two articles are Declined as this is one IP user, who I blocked. And just for the record, Sixth of March? Don't ask us for stuff and curse at us in the same breath. We're all fucking volunteers. Katietalk 15:40, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected Widr (talk) 19:21, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: There has been a slow-burn of reversions on this page. The content was removed to another page (now an FL), but this seems to have been missed by the IP. They have a dynamic IP, so every message I have left probably hasn't been seen. They have not replied to the message on the article talk page. I'm hoping a locked page will drive them onto the talk page, where things can be explained. Cheers. SchroCat (talk) 22:12, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Nakon 00:07, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
  • Excellent. We'll just keep having a slow edit war with a user who is unwilling to use the talk page to discuss. Can a second admin look at this please? I'll remind you that the guidance for temporary semi-protection at WP:SEMI includes "Subject to vandalism or edit-warring where unregistered editors are engaging in IP hopping by using different computers, obtaining new addresses by using dynamic IP allocation", which is the case here. This IP will not stop as it stands, and pushing them towards the talk page is the only way we will,be able to stop the disruption. Six weeks should be all that is needed, to cover the monthly visits made by the IP. –'SchroCat (talk) 05:33, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
    And what makes you think that this will get them to the talk-page? They may just skip one of their monthly vists...and sorry, the level of disruption really is not high enough to warrant semi-protection. Perhaps pending-changes might do the trick instead. Anyway, in olden times it would have been: just watchlist and revert. Lectonar (talk) 12:19, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
  • OK, we're already at six reverts since 4 May: at what point should I again request protection? Eight reverts? 10? Ongoing over a year? (I'm not being pointy in asking this: the reversions will continue—the IP considers it to be a "troll edit"—and I want to know when to ask again). - SchroCat (talk) 12:26, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
That is why I included the suggestion to use pending-changes protection....Lectonar (talk) 12:33, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of two months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I agree that the load on the reviewers is a little high. However, I'm unwilling to jump straight to indefinite semi-protection on an article that has never been protected before. We use escalating lengths, so let's start here. :-) Katietalk 15:59, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

  • Excellent. We'll just keep having a slow edit war with a user who is unwilling to use the talk page to discuss. Can a second admin look at this please? I'll remind you that the guidance for temporary semi-protection at WP:SEMI includes "Subject to vandalism or edit-warring where unregistered editors are engaging in IP hopping by using different computers, obtaining new addresses by using dynamic IP allocation", which is the case here. This IP will not stop as it stands, and pushing them towards the talk page is the only way we will,be able to stop the disruption. Six weeks should be all that is needed, to cover the monthly visits made by the IP. –'SchroCat (talk) 05:33, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
    And what makes you think that this will get them to the talk-page? They may just skip one of their monthly vists...and sorry, the level of disruption really is not high enough to warrant semi-protection. Perhaps pending-changes might do the trick instead. Anyway, in olden times it would have been: just watchlist and revert. Lectonar (talk) 12:19, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
  • OK, we're already at six reverts since 4 May: at what point should I again request protection? Eight reverts? 10? Ongoing over a year? (I'm not being pointy in asking this: the reversions will continue—the IP considers it to be a "troll edit"—and I want to know when to ask again). - SchroCat (talk) 12:26, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Is this topic related to the Arab-Israeli conflict except by virtue of being in the West Bank? The article is mostly about history and only mentions one modern conflict incident, which was not apparently state-sponsored. If so, ECP is not appropriate. BethNaught (talk) 18:11, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
The article is currently in the middle of an edit war with edits that are under ARBIA control, so not sure how to proceed. It's a small article with not much editing other than those ARBPIA edits. It's close enough that I think it can be under EC. Sir Joseph (talk) 18:14, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
In which you are involved. Can you explain to me why it should say region=Israel? West Bank says that international law regards it as an occupied territory, not a sovereign part of Israel. (Incidentally, I reverted to the actual pre-conflict version which just says West Bank, not Israel or Palestine.) There are measures I can take, but I'm not putting your POV above others' just since you're extended confirmed. BethNaught (talk) 18:25, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
Firstly, I'm OK with the way it is now, I think region as Israel is OK too since it's in the "region" of Israel not specifying a country, similarly to how the NY Region is in the Northeast, etc. Sir Joseph (talk) 18:27, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Increase from semi-protection to full-protection: There has been constant edit-warring on this article by one editor or another in past 20 days. This article has been protected in the past as well. People have been constantly editing overthwir personal prefernces rather than what the rules say. Edit-warring has erupted over range of issues like ridiculous non-neutral POV, ridiculous grammar, undue content and removal of sourced content and their reversal as well despite semi-protection. Discussion either doesn't happen and even when it did happen, it became heated. I doubt this will stop in the future and is likely to increase if the protection expires. Although increase in protection will stop me or others from editing it, I request to increase the level of protection as any non-admin editor including me will have to discuss and/or seek a consensus in case of a dispute as prescribed by rules. Thank you. DinoBambinoNFS (talk) 01:00, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

I wanted to suggest something in the talk page for Anita Sarkeesian, however it's locked so here it is. I'd like to see the question discussed in the talk page:

I've examined all the provided references and I find the sentence:

The Tropes vs Women project triggered a campaign of sexist harassment against Sarkeesian

problematic. There is no doubt that she was subject to harassment, but the term 'sexist' is inappropriate and implies motive which has not been established. The sources themselves make the assumption that it's gender based ... but we've seen numerous examples where men with the same views as Sarkessian have been subject to similar harassment (if not at the same level) and it isn't because of their gender.

@210.84.13.17: Done I've added this, plus my reply, to that talk page. It sure would've been easier if you'd just gotten an account, though. RunnyAmiga (talk) 21:35, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – I made a successful semi-protection request earlier today. User appears to have circumvented semi-protection (autoconfirmed?) and continued to vandalise the page, removing protection tags and making non-constructive edits. This page can be considered a popular target for immature vandal editors; I feel that Pending Changes protection would be appropriate. Seba5tien (talk/contribs) 19:17, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Declined Seba5tien, the editor is autoconfirmed so pending changes is useless. I have warned them. NeilN talk to me 20:10, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

You are correct, Cyberbot I, but the protection was apparently only for 48 hours and it's already about to expire. No comment on whether or not it needs to be extended. RunnyAmiga (talk) 21:50, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
