Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Take a look-I think I mistakenly restored a bad version. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 13:49, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Declined - Not necessary. An IP added a huge repeated list of junk to the article, and most of the reverts afterwards were due to confusion between editors (including myself) regarding which who was fixing the problem and who was adding to it. Situation is under control now ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 14:16, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Multiple IPs making changes that are either unnecessary or have not been official confirmed by Konami.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Some people have been removing important contents from the page and also add a lot of redlinks, despite being told in html comments of the article to not do so. People have also changed the layout despite it being written in comments that layout should not be disrupted. Most of the disruptive editors are unregistered, so semi protection would be good.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Saqib (talk) 07:11, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The disputes between Regent007 as well as CR Guru PK over the last few days are what pushed me to decide that full protection was the best solution here. It looks like there are concerns regarding the sources being cited with content, and this needs to be discussed and sorted out between everybody before editing on this article can proceed. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:31, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism – slow, but continuous non-autoconfirmed disruptive editing, mostly the kind that would naturally occur at the target of this redirect, (Wikipedia:Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License) which has been fully protected indefinitely, since 2009. Due to the page title it is unlikely to ever be changed from the redirect that it is now, so it is unlikely to make much of a difference any non-autoconfirmed users who wish to contribute constructively. 72 (talk) 09:43, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Unprotection: The talk page gets many empty edit requests since the file page is already semi-protected. We can't semi-protect the one place where non-autoconfirmed users are supposed to propose changes, since they can't edit the file page itself, but are directed to request such changed to the talk page.

Not done I don't see any vandalism.

Indefinite extended confirmed: There is quite a bit of un-discussed (by the IPs) edit warring by IPs warranting semi-protection - however I would argue that the page is ARBPIA related. Currently "zionist" appears 33 times in the article, other topics such as the 2014 Gaza conflict feature, and much of the page is about whether discourse in Labour is inexcusable antisemitism or acceptable (or not) anti-Zionism.

Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing – Since at least March of this year this article seems to be plagued by anon IPs changing the flag info in the infobox.

Requesting Temporary Full Page Protection. Persistent reverts by User:Seraphim System while Talk page discussion is still in progress with no consensus. Seraphim System has single-handedly decided to delete the edit under discussion from the lede in the article for his own reasons without consensus being reached on the Talk page. Requesting this temporary full protection until consensus is reached by multiple participating editors on the Talk page. I am using my last allowable revert to restore the page while the Talk page discussion is still in progress with no consensus having been reached at this time. When consensus is reached, then the full page protection can be removed and the consensus edit determined can be restored to the article. The next revert by Seraphim System puts him over 3RR at 4RR and I may need to move this report to 3RR violation by Seraphim System if he reverts a fourth time within one day. This is my last revert on this page and I am requesting that this temporary full page protection be granted until consensus is established for the Talk page discussion which has been in progress since yesterday. Please protect the page and advise if I should prepare the 1RR protection request for Brett Kavanaugh as well. JohnWickTwo (talk) 20:04, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Comment Responding admin should probably know that this is a BLP with around 2,000,000 monthly views. I only become aware of the discussion because one of the regular editors was complaining about disruptive restoration of content and citations that didn't verify the content [19]. Though the content of the edit was altered, the citations in the last version still do not verify the content. I strongly object to restoring this content without waiting for input from other editors involved in the discussion.Seraphim System (talk) 20:41, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
The edit currently being discussed is being removed by Seraphim while Talk page discussion is still in progress and without consensus being reached. He has been given multiple reliable sources to substantiate the edit but since they do not match his opinion he has decided to ignore them. After ignoring them, Seraphim then forces his version of the edit into the article lede and has apparently stated that he will do so indefinitely regardless of many requests to restore the article and return to Talk discussion with multiple editors participating. He has been requested several times to return the article to the state currently being discussed by multiple editors on the Talk page and he has apparently pledged to indefinitely keep forcing his edit into the article without consensus having been reached on the Talk page. Please help restore the article page to its original form currently being discussed by multiple editors and grant the temporary full page protection until consensus is reached on the Talk page by multiple participating editors. JohnWickTwo (talk) 21:00, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
The last thing I said was "I'm done with this". I don't need this stress. I joined the discussion trying to help because you opened a section "SC petition was vacated not the DC Circuit judgment which was fully applied" - which I was very worried about since this article has 2,000,000 monthly views. The only further involvement I am willing to have with this article for now is commenting at AE, if the regular editors at the article lose their patience and choose to file a complaint at AE.Seraphim System (talk) 21:08, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
Done Protected as I found it. Warning issued to Seraphim System. KnightLago (talk) 21:13, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
@KnightLago: Thank you for promptly addressing this. If I am reading Seraphim correctly directly above, then he is fully withdrawing from the editing of the article for Brett Kavanaugh. Since all of the other editors participating in the Talk page discussion have been following proper consensus formation procedures I think that the page protection can be returned to normal editing whenever you feel comfortable with doing it. I can then restore the article to the edit version prior to Seraphim's edits today as made on this edit from 3 August: [20]. If you can remove the page protection then I will restore it to that edit version and the Talk page discussion already under way can continue until consensus is reached. Or, if you prefer to do it yourself for the restore then that is perfectly fine as well. Thanks for doing the temporary page protection. JohnWickTwo (talk) 21:39, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
@Rmhermen: It appears that Seraphim has fully withdrawn from editing the Kavanaugh article in his statement above and on his Talk page. I was planning to consider archiving temporarily the pre-RFC that Seraphim started there and allowing the Talk page discussion to continue until consensus is reached. Whatever consensus is reached by the multiple editors there would then go into the article. If you want the Seraphim version of the RFC to take place then it will be with his having stated his already withdrawing from further editing of the article. I will say that all of the other editors participating in Talk there have been following all the proper Talk page procedures, and that should normally result in a consensus edit being quickly determined mutually among the editors. I will await your advice if the RFC should be temporarily archived since Seraphim has withdrawn from editing the article. JohnWickTwo (talk) 21:56, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

@Zyxw: that's quite a widely transcluded template (699 transclusions). Why would you need to be able to move it? Fish+Karate 12:28, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
@Fish and karate: 700 isn't too much, and haven't we been reducing sysop template protection to template editor over the years as more are found? I don't see any reason to not reduce this one, but I'm also interested in why the prospect of moving it was mentioned. Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:10, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
@Anarchyte: The template is only semi-protected for editing. Zyxw wants the move protection reducing. Fish+Karate 08:31, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
@Fish and karate: Oh, my bad! I still don't think reducing it is an issue, but it's your decision. Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:44, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
Why would it need moving is my question. Fish+Karate 08:46, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
I believe the point is simply that pre-TE full protects should/can safely be reduced to TE protects, because TEs were specifically created to have privileged access to templates that was previously restricted to admins. In other words, there may be no particular reason for this template to be moved now, but it still defeats the whole purpose of the TE access level to maintain pre-TE full protects without a specific reason.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I'm not doing this because one half of the edit war is a logged-in editor who is edit warring to include their preferred version, which includes gems such as describing a hit and run incident as a "fender bender". Fish+Karate 14:20, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
But it was a "fender bender", news reports described it as both a fender-bender and a hit&run. Also, the one IP/SPA (editing from a USPP address) has been adding content with no refs. Oh, by the way, Ghaisar's car was the car that was hit from behind by the unnamed Uber driver. But ok. Shearonink (talk) 14:32, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
I am not saying whether it's right or wrong, what I'm saying is protection is not a tool by which a logged in editor can "win" a content dispute. None of the edits are vandalism or obviously disruptive. Have changed the rejection reason above for clarity. Fish+Karate 14:37, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Reduction in protection level: From full protection to no protection. Page was correctly protected, as users were jumping the gun and adding a sports transfer that had not yet been confirmed. However, that transfer is now confirmed so the reason for protection is now redundant. Protecting admin has been offline for nearly 12 hours and as this is a high profile transfer (to Real Madrid) the page is likely to see increased traffic as users will obviously want to update the page accordingly.

Indefinite Pending Changes Protection: It can clearly be seen in the history of the disambiguation page, that every other edit is a revert. This revert cycle can be seen occurring in the history of the page for a long time, one can even say this has been happening since 2016, that is why I think it should be permanent Pending Changes Protection. There has been very few constructive edits to the disambiguation page. Although all the reverted edits is not made by IP users, I think that Pending Changes is a better option for the page rather than semi-protection. The reason being that if there ever is a legitimate addition wanted to be added to the article it can be looked at in the queue and accepted. Pending changes will also be able to tell the number of vandals who are users. In the case that there are to many user vandals editing, then semi-protection is a better option.

Temporary protection: Two registered accounts are swapping the "official website" between two different urls, each claiming that the other is a phishing site, with no reliable sources given. In addition, there are technical irregularities with the page: if you remove the "website" portion of the infobox, the url defaults to a website apparently linked to one of the accounts; said website cannot be changed or seen in the source code, which is very suspicious. At least one of the websites is an impostor website, and, being that it's hard to find reliable sources on mainstream media about legally grey software tools, Wikipedia cannot decide which is real and which is fake. I think this may require protection and administrator intervention to prevent the page from being used as spam, especially considering the weird technical problem. --Leugen9001 (talk) 03:53, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Reduction in protection level: From full protection to no protection. I don't understand why this page is protected, but it's been fully protected since 2013, and there's new development about the existence of Rush Hour 4 as a movie (it makes no sense to redirect it to Rush Hour 3 anymore as it currently stands). [ kentronhayastan ] 09:18, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Question: @Kentronhayastan: Have you asked the protecting administrator, Joe Decker (talk · contribs)? However, please note that until a movie commences principle photography we do not have an article on it, per WP:NFF, so I would suggest that until that happens you work on an article in your user space, say at User:Kentronhayastan/Rush Hour 4 and then come back here when Rush Hour 4 is in principle photography. Fish+Karate 09:50, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Well, my intention was to redirect Rush Hour 4 to Rush_Hour_(franchise)#Future_for_Rush_Hour_4 until, as you said, principal photography commenced and it merited its own article. And no, I haven't contacted the original user. I will right now. [ kentronhayastan ]

  • @Kentronhayastan: Looking at the logs and deleted edits, Rush Hour 4 was repeatedly recreated and deleted over the course of two days in August 2007, during the opening week of Rush Hour 3. It was originally SALTed via the old "Protected titles" system,[33] and was procedurally replaced with indef creation protection after that system was deprecated.[34] The 2013 protection by Joe Decker was merely a procedural continuation of the original SALTing after he had converted it into a redirect. This is a perfect case study of why articles should not be SALTed via indefinite full protection: here we are, eleven years later, with the article still protected in response to the short-lived hype over Rush Hour 3, 11 years ago. It's actually comical. To be clear, I am not singling anyone out for wrongdoing (the article inherited indefinite full protection from a previous system where there was no other option). I'm simply pointing this out as an example of why we wouldn't want to do it in the present day. Also, I am skeptical that it may now be inappropriately recreated (i.e. too early) due to the current development, but thanks to the past 11 years of full protection, we have no way of knowing, and due to the fact that the original protection has likely not been necessary for a decade or so, I see no grounds whatsoever to decline this request. If it does end up getting repeatedly recreated too early, we can easily determine what level and what duration of protection would be appropriate going forward, based on current evidence.

Unprotect: An admin semi-protected this article even though there was pretty minimal disruptive editing. It does not seem worth limiting potentially productive edits from IP or new editors wholesale. I posted on the talk page and pinged them, but there was no response. Am requesting to unprotect here. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 16:07, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

  • Jesus. I just spent like 45 minutes compiling a huge wall of diffs only to lose the page. Unreal. I will rewrite my sentiments but I'm going to have to ask reviewers to look at the page history for themselves, because I cannot do all that work again. First, though, I did not receive your ping. It is not even in my notifications. So, I apologize for not responding, but I did not know about your comment. You can avoid this in the future by dropping a talkback on my talk page, or simply posting the message there. As an admin, I am not actually allowed to ignore questions regarding my admin actions, and I didn't intend to. Regarding this request, I am in disbelief that you would claim there's a "minimal" level of disruptive editing. There is a massive amount of POV-driven disruptive editing happening on that page that is having to be reverted. Anyone can simply review the non-autoconfirmed edits that have been made to that page over the last few days and see for themselves. From repeated reinsertion of audience scores, to thinly-veiled POV wording changes, to comparisons between American politicians and fascism and Nazism in Wikipedia's voice, to outright vandalistic attempts to label film critics as liberal shills with no credibility, the problematic edits are persistent, large in number, and go back to the release date. There's a clear pattern of unambiguous disruptive edits, far beyond the realm of what is acceptable on a Wikipedia article. Relative to the disruptive edits, constructive edits from non-confirmed users are virtually nonexistent. It's massively disproportionate. If this was a bit of a grey area, I would gladly err on the side of leniency and reduce or undo the protection. But I genuinely see no reason to even consider unprotecting given the current track record. I urge you to take another look at the article's history, because I assure you, it's all there. Swarm 22:52, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
    Swarm, thanks for the explanation. I say "minimal" in comparison to editing activity that I've seen with other topics, especially political ones. This topic simply isn't popping up in the mainstream, and thus isn't drawing that much activity. I've been following the article (and looking for sources) daily, and I don't think that the activity is "far" beyond a normal article of a topic that just came into the public eye. Yes, there are bad edits, but I think there are a handful of decent editors watching the article who can revert with ease. I guess my perspective of the threshold is that the necessary reverting of bad edits is tolerable enough to allow the leniency of the general editing experience. I don't think I've seen any truly nasty edits, just partisan and lockstep ones. I would have to review the edits again, but I think since the article became more and more fleshed-out, there became less empty or sloppy space for there to be bad edits (in case you were watching this article long before I was). If you still feel the same, I can review the edits from the week before the semi-protection. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 16:04, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
We don't judge the moral severity of disruptive edits, we judge the frequency. Based on my experience dealing with vandalism and page protection, a "normal" level of disruption that does not require action is roughly between nothing and 2-3 disruptive edits per week on a reoccurring basis, or a minimum of maybe 3-5 disruptive edits within the past week alone. We can't really in good conscience allow a higher level of disruption than that without acting on it. The sample I took (which I just double-checked) easily came up with more than two dozen disruptive edits, stretching back a mere three days from August 9, when I reviewed and protected the page. And the disruption wasn't limited to those three days, I just got tired of checking diffs. So, that's when I mean when I say there's a "massive level" of disruptive editing and thus clearly a strong need for page protection based on normal standards for page protection. It's obviously a very politically charged movie, and all of the aforementioned disruptive edits appear to be coming from biased supporters of the film, so I don't expect the situation will be any different if we were to unprotect today. I'll tell you what though, I'll offer a compromise to convert the semi-protection to pending changes protection. That way, IPs can still make constructive edits while the page will still be protected. If it places an undue burden on the pending changes reviewers, it won't work out, but ideally the level of disruption will gradually decline as the release date grows more distant, and the pending changes will have a deterrent effect on the level of disruption as well. If you're going to draw a hard line at unprotecting, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to argue against doing so. Swarm 00:26, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

The page was clearly protected with very good reason. Every Wikipedia page should be open for editing by unregistered users, but unfortunately, some pages are targeted by a large number of vandals and incompetent editors, to the degree where it's more practical to disable all edits by unregistered users than it is to continuously revert them. The good news is that 99% of Wikipedia articles remain unprotected and can use your help right now! Swarm 00:31, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An IP hopper has been removing sourced content relating to the budget in the last few days. It is most likely uber-troll Carlo Galanti who targets financials on film articles (all the IP edits are orginating from Italy where he operates from). The Pirates of the Caribbean articles are regularly targeted. I could go to SPI but it would just be wasting everyone's time because the IP rotation is so fast. I think semi for a week or two might break the current cycle. Betty Logan (talk) 14:10, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Increased level of protection: Drive-by editors keep re-adding person's deadname. Transgender people change their name because the name they were born with does not suit their gender identity. Having it on their wikipedia page potentially harms the victim, and violates their privacy. There's no reason to include it. The person wasn't known under that name. It is only found in obscure references, and it's likely not even their legal name any more. Editors re-adding the name aren't taking part in discussion on talk page. 51.7.232.150 (talk) 05:08, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Declined The editors adding/removing the birthname don't break along the new/experienced line. So no level of protection (except full) would help.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Hi. I've asked many times to protect this article from IPs edits and it was always done, but every time after the protection period was over, IPs started vanadalising the page again. I assume it is always the same person using different IPs. This person adds information without sources and the things he/she adds are something you can write in your own blog or a fansite but not in encyclopedia. Now this person keeps on adding sentences like 'no CD/DVD date was set' - no one ever said anything about this, of course there's no source; or 'these songs were rehersed in some country' - no source and not important at all; or 'the second concert was planned but didn't go on sale' - no source, just a fan fantasy. And there's more. And it goes on and on and on. There's no end to this. This person does not react to any comments, just keeps on making these edits, also some in other articles. The lates IP is 153.2.246.34. Could you protect this article form IPs, please? Thanks, —Max24 Talk 18:49, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent sockpuppetry – There is a song on this list that has a similar title to the album on which it appears. Starting a few days ago user:RobThomas15 decided to conflate the two and insisted that the song title was the same as the album title and was subsequently blocked for edit warring over it. The editor then created a sock account, came back and continued the edit war. The sock was blocked and the master's block was extended. I'm afraid that the editor may not have stopped trying to find ways to circumvent the block, but I would like to see the editor avoid a longer block so I'm requesting a either extended confirmed protection or a lock to new editors and anons for the duration of RobThomas15's block, which I believe is one week from now.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – User MainBody has been attempting to remove content which is sourced from primary sources and substituting commentary instead. It appears that the commentary may be of a later synod in 419 but even that does not reflect Canon XVII from primary source documents. Synod 418 was a very minor synod and not even noteworthy and was a regional synod which takes place yearly. Only 8 canons were issued. DeusImperator (talk) 08:37, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Requesting Temporary Full Page Protection. Persistent reverts by User:Seraphim System while Talk page discussion is being requested and ignored. Seraphim System has single-handedly decided to delete edits and alter material in the article for his own reasons without consensus being reached on the Talk page. Two requests on his Talk page to stop editing and start Talk page have been ignored by him and Seraphim is using one-click archiver to delete these requests here: [44]. This appears to be a repeat of 4 August when KnightLago made a warning to Seraphim to stop very similar revert conduct on this same article. Requesting this temporary full protection with restoration of the page to when KnightLago removed page protection yesterday evening. Seraphim appears to be taking advantage that KnightLago has not signed on since yesterday evening. I have also reached out to another participating admin who appears to have also signed out for this evening. Rather than stop editing after my requests for Talk page, Seraphim has now decided to continue by making even more edits without any consensus whatsoever. Please make full temporary page protection with rollback to last edit by KnightLago yesterday evening, and allow KnightLago to sort this out better when he is on-line. On 4 August, KnightLago made a warning to Seraphim to stop very similar revert conduct on Brett Kavanaugh apparently with no effect. JohnWickTwo (talk) 02:16, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

The editor Seraphim who was previously warned to stop disruptive editing on Brett Kavanaugh is continuing to edit the page without consensus, and ignoring all requests for Talk discussion. Requesting temporary full page protection and rollback to last neutral version of article by KnightLago from a day ago. The editor Seraphim is editing without any consensus for his edits and ignoring repeat requests for Talk page discussion. JohnWickTwo (talk) 14:17, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

user:GB fan has indefinitely semi-protected Keith Ellison. When asked about it on the talk page, the admin said that this edit was the sole reason for his action, and he refused to make any changes to the duration protection. To me, the edit summary in question seems like a good faith invitation to other editors to revert if they believe the edit was an error. There has been no vandalism to the page, meaning that the conditions for semi protection as laid out in WP:SEMI (a significant amount of disruption or vandalism from new or unregistered users, or to prevent sock puppets of blocked or banned users from editing, especially when it occurs on biographies of living persons who have had a recent high level of media interest.) have not been met.
There is no need to indefinitely protect the article, and I do not see any reason to have the article semi-protected at all. BarbadosKen (talk) 13:13, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Not done. As this is a discretionary sanction, we are strictly prohibited from even considering this request here. The normal venue for appealing discretionary sanctions is WP:AE, though you're also allowed to appeal via WP:AN or WP:ARCA. Those are the only approved venues for appealing discretionary sanctions. Also please note that the normal requirements for page protection due not necessarily need to be met in order to impose semi-protection as a discretionary sanction. Swarm 17:08, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
OK. I'm not going to waste my time appealing at those venues because it sounds like as an uninvolved admin, user:GB fan has quite a lot of discretion to employ whatever restrictions (s)he thinks are necessary, and the preference is to err on the side of placing more restrictions than necessary, rather than less restrictions than necessary.

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Josie Totah, formerly J.J. Totah, published this article on Time earlier about how she now identifies as a male to female transgender. Per MOS:GENDERID, we should Give precedence to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. However, some IPs have cropped up, changing "she" pronouns back to "he" and any mention of "Josie" back to "J.J." Because this is a BLP, a semi-protection is probably the best course of action, and, given the material, I would recommend at least a month to allow this news to settle down. This would give more competent editors more of a chance to stabilize the article with this recent M to F reveal. Amaury (talk | contribs) 02:42, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: BLP policy violations – Despite my efforts to get this page in a BLP-compliant version, with discussion at the talk page of the other user and at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Mousa Refan, the other editor continues to insert the claims which are disputed (namely, that Mousa Refan, the engineer who is the subject of the article, is the same as Musa or Akbar Refan, the commander of the Guard Air Force in Iran). The only sources provided so far which claim that they are the same are a court document claiming a terrorist conspiracy (which also indicates why this claim is such a BLP minefield), and an opinion piece in an Israeli newspaper based on the same court case.

Please protect the page in the BLP-compliant version (i.e. without the disputed claim) and only end the protection after the BLPN discussion has concluded. . Fram (talk) 11:10, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

The page has not been protected before, and offending edits are relatively infrequent (less than once per month). SOP for page protection usually looks for offending edits on a more weekly or daily scale to justify protection. WP:REVDEL is also an option for particularly egregious edits.

Appreciate it. He's actually be at this for years, I think since at least 2015. Earlier this summer there was an EF created that stopped him for a while and forced him to substantially rewrite his rant. See the history of Jonathan Luna.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This page was protected in the last few weeks due to (User:Lorstaking) persistently reverting legitimate edits en masse without any justification. Now that the protection has been lifted, he has resumed reverting edits en masse without any justification. This problem was flagged on the user's User talk:Lorstaking page on 12 August 2018 at 00:44 (UTC).

Extended confirmed protection like it was put as ECP by Kudpung in 9 May because of this disruptive SPA[48] but this SPA keeps returning to disrupt this page by edit warring for restoring his promotional edits and refuses to discuss any of his edits as evident on the talk page itself.[49] This page has been evidently subject to similar promotional edits before.

Declined @Tulsi Bhagat: It looks like just 1 (presumptively new) user adding an unsourced family member (daughter). I don't see this as vandalism, and even if it were, I would not protect the page because there is only 1 offending account (AIV would be less intrusive solution here). The right course of action here is not protection, but rather appropriate engagement with the user. Frankly, I find it counterproductive that you have treated this as simple vandalism and haven't attempted to explain to the offending user why their edits were being reverted. Even a simple template message pointing towards adding unsourced content to BLPs would have been worlds better and opened up the possibility for growth in the new editor.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A number of IPs removing sourced cast members and adding an unsourced actor (who is probably a minor cast member, though there are no sources for it) to the list of "starring" actors (which is clearly incorrect) ; a SPA who self-identified as the actor herself has previously been adding the information but stopped editing after a final warning. Attempts at discussing this on the article talk page have only led to incivility, and it is clear that the users have no interest in following Wikipedia policy.

While we're at it, is there any reason you think you need to retain indef semi on your main user page? Looking at your user page history, it looks like there was no need for semi-protection back then, and certainly no need for indef semi. Have you had other subpages protected in your userspace?

Yeah, that might work too. The reason why I originally requested semi-protection rather than PC is because there hasn't been a single constructive edit from a non-confirmed user or IP since the protection expired, except for 1 IP reverting an unconstructive edit from a non-confirmed user, which wouldn't have been made to begin with if the page were semi-protected.--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 16:21, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

But after a quick google search , I found that the subject has done considerable work and achieved substantial fame since the last Afd which was around 9 months back.

Although the new article is not in a perfect shape, I believe it qualifies as a stub and intend to move it to the correct location. Razer(talk) 16:57, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Full long-term extended semi-protection: High level of vandalism and content dispute, particularly from IP. Prior, multiple protections have been imposed on the article, but strangely, all of them were of short duration, despite all the vandalism. This article is about a controversial, polarizing person. I suggest this article should be protected until the Brazilian general election, 2018 in october. That's better than protecting the article for a period of 1 or 2 weeks just to reinstate the protection a few days later.

    It has been rejected because it previously contained very unreliable sources. I don't see a problem now. It may appear negative, but there's actually a paragraph in the Career section which is not negative. I would agree that much of the controversial content is undue, but not the whole subsection. "At a glance", it appears that the subject is only notable for controversies, since a lot of newspapers and news organizations picked up the TanaCon controversy, but there is also non-controversial content. wumbolo ^^^ 14:18, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. In the last month, different IPs have been changing casualty figures without providing any sources and leaving figures that are contrary to the cited sources. They have also removed the cited sources while changing the figures and some have even tried changing the linked sources to fit their narrative, leaving non-functioning links as a result. At one point it would seem one of the IPs opened a single-purpose account to make the unsourced changes. An attempt was made to discuss the issue via talk page and a few calls were also made via edit summaries to discuss the issue. All were ignored and the unsourced changes have continued.

Ymblanter Thank you, will do! EkoGraf (talk) 06:55, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Almost daily vandalism by various IP users (I'd guess school students). Not usually abusive, but very disruptive. Several earlier protections. Possibly a case for ECP. Wikiain (talk) 00:00, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Consistent vandalism of a WP:BLP about a Transgender Woman who is currently running for a significant political office. The vandalism is abusive and transphobic: changing pronoun genders and names (in direct contravention of MOS:GENDERID). I expect the vandalism stay persistent and/or escalate in the lead up to to the election. All IP addresses and new users have been vandals; none have been constructive. There are good faith disputes amongst experience editors which are being productively resolved on the talk page. The vandalism is all coming from IP and new users. --Theredproject (talk) 00:42, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – One POV-pushing editor and one vandal account wreaking havoc with this article. Needs to be locked down for a bit. Montanabw(talk) 04:32, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
