Indefinite extended confirmed: Arbitration enforcement – The article relates to the area of the Israel-Palestine conflict, but is not edit protected. The pages has been recently edited by ineligible accounts. Thank you. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:55, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 11:30, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Temporary full semi protection: There is a hoax that Atal Bihari Vajpayee is dead and some Ip's tried to add the death date in the article and there is possibility of edits which may increase. So it is recommended to increase protection at least for 1 week until that hoax will get clear to everyone. . My Lord (talk) 08:14, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

(Non-admin comment) @My Lord:, full protection seems a bit overkill if it is mainly just IPs adding this information. Perhaps semi-protection would be more appropriate? Failing that and if multiple autoconfirmed accounts vandalize it in future (more than is feasible for an administrator to warn/block), then perhaps extended confirmed protection would be more appropriate than full? Just my 2 cents on the matter. --All the best, TheSandDoctor Talk 08:24, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

The article was protected against moves in 2015 by Rjd0060 for an indefinite time. The current title seems perfectly good to me. Beeblebrox's grammar is very bad at one point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C0:FCF6:4801:8C4C:E293:BA90:9CBB (talk) 08:26, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An article on a neo-Nazi group that attracts POV edits by IPs. Article history shows that edits by IPs / new users are almost always vandalism.

I think that's fine for now. AIPAC is Israel-related, but not really Palestine-Israel related, even somewhat broadly construed. We've got ECP if needed but let's give this a whirl. ~ Amory (utc) 12:07, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protected for a period of Indefinite, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Nevermind. ECP might not help too much — the editors all appear to be ECP confirmed, and semi already prevented the IP — but the restrictions are there and the content warred over is very much related. There was no engagement on the talkpage, so have reverted to previous hope ECP encourages discussion. ~ Amory (utc) 12:31, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – As soon as this page was unprotected, it was vandalized like crazy by new and unregistered users - 20 cases within the last month alone. I suggest protecting this page for a long period of time, as this page has proven many times to be a huge vandalism target. SkyGazer 512 talk / contributions / subpages 00:34, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 09:56, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
I don't mean to protest or anything, but just out of curiosity, how is this not enough vandalism to justify protection? I've seen so many pages that have only had 5 or less vandalism edits in the last month or so get semi-protection. However, that page, in the last month, was vandalized no less than 20 times from either IP addresses or non-confirmed registered users. Only 1 edit by an IP was not vandalism, but even that edit wasn't necessarily constructive. If it's possible, I honestly just curious to know the reason. Thanks!--SkyGazer 512 talk / contributions / subpages 13:11, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Courcelles (talk) 18:37, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection Persistent disruptive editing from mobile IP users. The edits contain poor grammar and the sources used have variable levels of quality, which indicate that the person or people making the edits are not judging the sources properly, or not at all. This is in spite of attempts to communicate with them that this behavior needs to be corrected. Because this is a featured article, allowing these types of edits to continue could cause the article to lose that status, and I'm tired of having to police it everyday to make sure that doesn't happen. This article's most recent semi-protection lock lasted two months, so this lock should last longer. However, I have seen similar instances in similar articles that have been locked temporarily in which the disruptive editing starts again within minutes of it being unlocked. Because of that, I think it would be best to cut to the chase and give this article a semi-protection lock indefinitely. Jackdude101 talk cont 15:52, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Slow-motion vandalism: Since March 11 four different IP addresses have made the same unsourced and dubious changes to population figures. The most recent one is [1]. I'm willing to believe that the figures changed between 2016 and 2018. I'm not willing to believe that they all changed by exactly n thousand (9,066 -> 47,066 Ukrainians, 1,821 -> 4,821 Belarussians, 917 -> 1,917 Chinese, etc.).

@Courcelles: At the same time you were adding semi-protection, I went for pending changes, because I saw some of the IP and new account edits are constructive, and the pace of editing has increased in a way that seems to fit with WP:PC's intro: "infrequently edited articles that are experiencing high levels of such troublesome edits from new or unregistered users". Both are probably overkill, and you have more experience at this than I do, but I wantd to get your thoughts on PC before I remove it. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:30, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
@Muboshgu: The problem with PC right now is that it isn't "infrequently" edited (right now it is heavily edited, and PC can't keep up with that, hardly enough reviewers reviewing) -- it'll go back to that way in a few days, though. I'd maybe semi for a day or so, and PC for longer to catch the long tail-end of vandalism that will go on for a while, at least as long as it is on the Main Page. Courcelles (talk) 18:33, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
@Courcelles: So you mean initiate PC after semi ends? – Muboshgu (talk) 18:35, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
@Muboshgu: You can set both, just set PC for longer duration, and the system will work correctly. Courcelles (talk) 18:36, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
@Courcelles: Alrighty. As it happens, you did semi for 2 days, and I did PC for 3 days. So, I'll let it run.

Unprotection: It is pointless to keep full protection from 2007 on this redirect. I don't see much vandalism before protection was applied and I don't think it is necessary to keep full protection.

The 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship Game is tonight, as we have seen with most sports related events there is a large degree of vandalism that ensues, I have already had to revert some. I know pages aren't preemptively protected, but that often leads to a lot editors spending time reverting edits.

@CambridgeBayWeather: if this doesn't need protection, then can the editnotices that use it also be unprotected, so that @Outriggr: can work on them?

Temporary full protection POV dispute has reached historical highs in the past few days (has worsened much since the last attempt to have the page protected), article gets reverted very often to versions preferred by one editor or the other on the grounds that it favours one view or the other on the subject's work. Discussion on the talk page seems to have degenerated into a toxic name-calling / petty-detail-listing dispute and is not going towards consensus.

Longer term semi-protection: This article has had 17 IP edits since March 1st, 16 of them is replacing they/them pronouns with she/her pronouns (1 was whole-article blanking), and every one has been reverted. The second sentence in the article explains that Dillon uses they/them pronouns, and many of the edits demonstrate that the editor is fully aware of this situation ([13] [14]) meaning that the problem is not one of ignorance but of malice. For whatever reason, people target this article a lot, and it's been going on for a long time. The page has been protected 4 times since it was created 13 months ago ([15] [16] [17] [18]) so can we protect it for longer this time? Thank you. --ChiveFungi (talk) 12:10, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. If extended confirmed users continue to add unreferenced or poorly referenced changes to this article regarding this person and the issues reported here, full protection will be applied. BLP is taken very seriously and must be enforced at all times - especially when it comes to changing the article and asserting that a living person is now dead. Hoaxes in the past have caused Wikipedia to be the center of media coverage and internet discussions because BLP was allowed to be violated and those edits left unchecked for an extended period of time. We cannot allow this; it's better to be a few days behind the "current information" (Wikipedia is not news) than to risk allowing potentially unverified changes like this to be added.

Not edit-warring. There have been multiple attempts by IPs and new editors to change to change long-established wording without seeking consensus. The edits by the established users have been to restore the settled version unless and until consensus to change it has been established. Discussion has been initiated on the talk page. Lard Almighty (talk) 10:08, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
I agree with Dlohcierekim's application of full protection in this instance. While the dispute is between an established editor and an anonymous user, the dispute is over content and fully protecting the page is fair to all editors involved, and assures that they take the issue to the article's talk page before the dispute is allowed to escalate further on the article. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:25, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Gfoley4 is correct - the issue seems to be over repeatedly replacing the article with a redirect to a section in a different article (Minnie Mouse --> The Walt Disney Company#Minnie Mouse).

Pages relating to the Syrian Civil War and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have general sanctions authorized. None of these pages state that the protection of all pages relating to these topics or areas out-right are authorized or have been enacted by consensus or motion. Wikipedia's protection policy still applies and protection is applied as a preventative measure, and no such protection is needed at this time. Also, I don't see any recent edits to suggest that sock puppetry is in progress here. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 17:07, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes: As of recently, the years active section in the infobox is constantly edited by unregistered IPs which add (-present) to the end of the 2018 year. This is unnecessary as the present year is 2018, but reverts and explanations in the View History section doesn't seem to stop this from occuring. One can argue that protection is not needed since editors can simply revert the changes, but the WP:3RR guideline still applies here, thus a single editor patrolling is not able to constantly revert this without getting a warning. A pending changes protection level should halt this behavior for a while, perhaps until the start of 2019 when the (-present) tag will make sense. Subsequently, registered users who perform edits like this can be pinged and advised in the Talk page, which was what I recently did. . aNode (discuss) 04:28, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Declined These edits are not inherently wrong to someone who might not know the local consensus. I'd suggest adding WP:HIDDEN text next to the field to prevent newbies from making the "mistake", and inviting discussion at relevant talk page section if they want consensus to change. However, I don't see a consistent convention at The Pussycat Dolls or pages in Category:Musical groups established in 2018, so it's understandable that people would think adding "–" or "–present" is the convention. Randomly, I even find this 2015 bio on a hockey player that lists "2015–present". (Note: I am not an active hockey editor, though other projects I'm active on do use the "–present" convention as well, independent of the current year) Not sure if there is any WP:MOS guidance on this (or perhaps one should be made).—Bagumba (talk) 11:55, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

@Oshwah: As mentioned in my request above, even a block does not stop this user. So, what is the next step since IPs can never be indeffed. What is the point of blocking the IP in this case when they keep resorting to the same behaviour once the block has expired?  LeoFrank  Talk 05:33, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

@Oshwah: Hm. Thank you, but I am not completely happy about this one-sided solution. The IP has removed unsourced material that was labelled as "dubious". Shouldn't it rather stay removed from the article until someone adds it back together with reliable sources? A report to WP:AIV had previously been put on hold by Hut 8.5: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=835803432&oldid=835803152&diffmode=source ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:30, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
ToBeFree - Yes, it should stay removed by default if someone expressed issues with the content and/or reference and there may be problems. I didn't see where the content being removed was labeled as "dubious" - can you show me the diff of what you're talking about? If my edit restored this content (well... duh, obviously it did) - please feel free to revert it to a revision that you feel resolves the possible concerns. The reversions are differently sized; which one should the article be restored to? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:35, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
@Oshwah: Ah, that relieves me. I have to admit that finding a "good" revision here is not easy. These two edits here, made by one IP just after the currently restored revision, deleted the unsourced content: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hujr_ibn_%27Adi&type=revision&diff=835742623&oldid=805838367&diffmode=source -- that started the edit war, with users complaining about the "unexplained" removal of content. While I agree that a short explanation, and if it just had been "this is not true!", would have been helpful, it was probably not a requirement to be insisted on. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:46, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
ToBeFree - Got'cha. Yeah go ahead and modify that article - if it means undoing one of my edits, have at it. So long as the article doesn't have any serious violations that are live, that's what I'm most concerned about. Let me know on my talk page if you need anything else and I'll be happy to help.

Yes. Super Mario Guy (talk) 00:19, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
  • For what it's worth, I get very suspicious when I see a new account start with edits to the account's own talk page and home page. This is something a sock editor I've dealt with does. It removes the red account name and talk link from the account. It also suggests a level of editorial experience I wouldn't expect out of a new editor. Springee (talk) 01:18, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
    • Indeed. And I wasn't the one who did the original protection on Ford Motor Company; I just restored it after deleting the page for history-merging. The last person to protect the page indefinitely was Caknuck. I don't believe in un-semiprotecting high-profile articles anyway. Graham87 01:51, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

This section is to ask for unprotection when the admin hasn't edited in a while and a message on their talk page (or a ping) has not been replied to.

That works. I just noticed the vandalism ramping up in the past day or so. Master of Time (talk) 05:29, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
@Master of Time: The reason it is indefinite is because the last page protection expired on April 12, and the page was semi-protected indefinitely in the past before until it was fully protected in December 2017 for a content dispute – see protection log of Alex Jones (radio host). After full protection expired, the article returned to being completely unprotected, rather than semi-protected. Mz7 (talk) 06:59, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
@Mz7: Ah, I see. Well, thanks for the clarification. Master of Time (talk) 07:21, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

@Jack Sebastian: you want temporary full protection, since the edit-warring is between registered editors. I agree that some protection would focus minds on the t/p discussion, which has been started, but communication is currently solely through edit-summaries. Incidentally, I'm here because I was also requesting it via twinkle, but, annoyingly of course, you write a chunk of text and then the bloomiing thing tells you a plaint has already been filed, and aborts. It would be nice if it could check first. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap sh*t room 08:39, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
Probably so, @Serial Number 54129:. Here is the version of the artivle before the contentious bits were added. Note that the version is not my edit, but someone who I've never met before.

@Kelapstick: There is plenty of recent disruptive activity to justify protection. If you look in the history you will see plenty of disruptive edits (including these: [45], [46] [47] in just this week) but it extends to months. Perhaps PC would be better to filter out the IPs, as many other contributors are constructive. Hummerrocket (talk) 21:07, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: The name of the country recently changed and there's a large number of editors who like to replace all instances of the old name with the new one even against WP:COMMONNAME.

clarify: many of these edits are simple replacements, which cause links and media to break and invalidates references and are done for the sake of it.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This page has been the target of Rupaul drag race fans for days now. Tyra is a very controversial figure and the article's edits make that very clear. I really feel it would be best for now that unregistered contributors can't edit this page because the majority of the edits are typical vandalism.

It's also more difficult to target since most of these edits aren't automatically reverted by a potential bot.

    • Yikes. On the one hand, that is indeed a concerning social media post, especially since it appears to have been pretty visible. On the other hand, it was first made 8 months ago. I'm actually more inclined to let the protection lapse first and then reprotect for a longer duration when and if the vandalism recurs, rather than extend the protection length preemptively, since this is how we typically do it. Mz7 (talk) 08:56, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
I agree with Mz7. We're supposed to protect pages only in a reactive measure, not in a pre-emptive measure per policy (although I have done so to pages within the article space once or twice and in extreme situations). Letting the protection expire and then adding a much longer duration of protection in reaction to any vandalism that may pick up is a better idea since it justifies the need with direct evidence and it makes sure that we're not locking out legitimate anonymous or new users from improving the article. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 12:12, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Originally, your request listed B Wongar, which is a redirect to B. Wongar. I'm assuming you are really asking for protection of the redirect target, not the redirect itself, so I've gone ahead and modified your request accordingly. Mz7 (talk) 06:32, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
Declined – The IP address involved from April 19 has been blocked, and there is insufficient disruptive activity to justify indefinite protection. The editing is also sporadic enough that I don't think temporary protection will be very useful. I think "watchlist and revert" is probably the best solution for this one.

Temporary move protection: An editor moved this article to In re Holocaust Victim Assets Litigation unilaterally, without discussion or consensus. I reverted it -- not so much because I did not consider the move an improvement as because it was a undiscussed move of an article about a controversial topic. I posted a note on the talk page which pointed out as a disputed move there needed to be an RM discussion before it could be moved back. The editor either didn't see, or ignored that comment, and moved it back, so I reverted again to the original title. Even though I don't consider the new title to be as good, I would have no objection to it being moved there if the decision to do so was made by a proper consensus discussion, which is why I'm asking for temporary move protection, so that discussion can take place. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:24, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

The editor in question has posted on the article's talk page that they have no intention of starting an RM discussion, and no interest in continuing to edit the article, so perhaps the entire question is moot. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:51, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Edit warring by several editors. Refusal to follow WP:BRD, editor 'My very best wishes' significantly rewrote one of the sections in the article on April 20, 2018 (before that last consensus version was on July 2017); this change has resulted in the tone of the section no-longer being neutral as well as resulted in a lot of important details being removed from that section (which I pointed out on the TP) - both of these reasons I've explained on the Talk page multiple times, yet editor refuses to follow WP:BRD (I've reverted editor's proposed changes to that section back to the last consensus version from July 2017) I've suggested on the talk page that we need to follow WP:BRD and first find consensus on the TP before introducing significant changes to that specific section). Piznajko (talk) 22:17, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

  • Piznajko (talk · contribs) just violated 3RR rule on this page. He edit war against consensus on this page by reverting edits by three other contributors, while filing an ANI complaint about one of them [50]. He now requested full protection to fix "his" version of the page. I do not think such battleground behavior should be encouraged by admins. My very best wishes (talk) 22:38, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Remove Protection:There has not been a single vandal edit for a very very very long time. Contacting the person who protected the page would not be worth it since the person is Retired according to their user page. In my opinion, yours could be different, the protection of the page may be preventing the further development of the page. Currently only auto-confirmed users are able to edit the page.

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Requesting indefinite PC this time. Some history: this page is plagued by vandals semi-frequently changing the crab's species to "lobster" and modifying the nationality. 7 day semi-protection did not deter the vandalism. On January 28th 2017, User:Cyberpower678 added PC1 for the term of 1 year. This proved highly effective, as PC gets a lot of extra eyes on the article and stops vandalism from actually appearing on the page. You can see that most of the edits in that 1 year were either constructive or reverted before they were approved. Immediately after PC1 ran out, the vandalism returned in such magnitude that I had to just remove several bits that snuck in and hung around for months, including edits that renamed sources. I'm asking for indefinite pending changes this time around, based on the highly effective nature of the previous remedy's 1 year term. AlexEng(TALK) 00:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC).

Additional note: the page was renamed from Sebastian (Disney) to Sebastian (The Little Mermaid). Please check page logs on the former article rather than the latter. AlexEng(TALK) 00:22, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

IP's comment in an edit summary: "You don't own Wikipedia." Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:15, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

No, do not listen to the vitriolic nonsense coming from Beyond My Ken (talk). Beyond My Ken (talk) has been repeatedly deleting sourced and reference information from the article due to the cognitive dissonance produced by his personal belief system. Beyond My Ken (talk) is some kind of Neo-Nazi sympathizer who doesn't like the indisputable historical fact that Hitler had allowed Chinese to study at German universities during the 1930s. We've tried many times to discuss and reason with the Neo-Nazi sympathizer Beyond My Ken (talk) but he apparently is just focused on pushing his narrow minded POV. And yes we did tell him that "You don't own Wikipedia" because he is acting like he rules everyone and refuses to engage in discussion and acts dominantly as if he thinks he controls everything here on Wikipedia. Very irrational behavior on his part. 68.8.219.191 (talk) 01:29, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruption – I might be wrong here; at least I really start wondering if I am stubborn or if there is really one single person who uses a load of different IP addresses, possibly via an "anonymous" VPN provider, to insert the same, original research, biased and badly referenced sentence into this article. Again, again, again, again. When I created a talk page entry about this, it has been modified by the unregistered editor. It has been deleted from the talk page by another unregistered user who never made a contribution before. The issue has been reported to AIV, with all the IPs getting blocked for disruptive editing. Five days later, nothing has changed.

The source is a GIF image on a free image hosting service. The filename includes "hurensohn", which means "son of a bitch". Someone seems to be really angry about this software issue. What can we do here? Protect the page because of one person? Add pending changes protection to let them have their edit for a while, but not displayed for anyone? I have waited five days before undoing the last edit, and I have not even reverted the edit technically, but rather removed the sentence manually to prevent a ping. Maybe talking might be more effective than blocking or protecting here, but I tried and failed to start a conversation. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:12, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Temporary Unprotection: This page has been under semi-protection for almost four years now due to vandalism by anonymous users. I think it is time to give these anonymous users a chance for one to two weeks to show everyone that they can be trusted editing this page again. If all goes well, then I would recommend that this page be unprotected indefinitely. But, if they do decide to vandalize the page regularly again, then the page should continue to be protected as it currently is. KSportMGNT (talk) 17:37, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – We have an IP hopping vandal who seems to have taken against one of the characters in this show in a quite extreme manner with inappropriate edit summaries that might be worth hiding, indeed they would be grossly defamatory were they not directed towards a fictional cartoon fish.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. The section that the user is repeatedly removing has already been discussed in extensive detail on the talk page by several senior editors. A user with vested interests is repeatedly removing it and pretending to be a serious user by asking people to use the talk page and threatening with blocks. I request administrators to immediately protect the page and block the said user. Administrators can see the talk page for the extensive discussion that has already taken place to include this section here. The section is adequately sourced and has additional sources mentioned on the Talk page to verify everything. Additionally, I have opened a new section on the talk page to allow the discussion to move forward.

This article is currently being edited by a new user account Corpsedarns that only seems to have been created to smear London Trust Media. Repeatedly posts that company CTO is "convicted criminal" when his own source contradict this and says that he has been indicted. I tried to properly refer to the new CTO with an article from PIA explaining the situation, and why they hired him anyway. Corpsedarns reverts edit and makes false claims again. I am requesting temporary semi-protection of this article.
