List of football clubs in England by competitive honours won

Reason: High level of vandalism and edit-warring, including historically and recently with newly created accounts. Article has previously been semi-protected at various points in time, but only ever short-term. Clearly this requires a long-term semi protection. Bungle (talk • contribs) 19:47, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:51, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Digby Jones, Baron Jones of Birmingham

Reason: Recent IP vandalism, including BLP issues. CarbonX (talk) 21:16, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 21:27, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Florence Griffith Joyner

Reason: Her Olympic record, standing for 33 years, was beaten today, and this resulted in a bunch of badly informed edits introducing incorrect info or removing correct sourced info. The article might benefit from short-term semiprotection, like 3 days. Ymblanter (talk) 21:49, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:47, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Christian Rosa

Reason: High level BLP violation and libelouse material by very specific IP range s in the recent months as well as unauthorized contibutors. Panghea (talk) 16:45, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:00, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
Note: @Panghea: It's pretty clear you have a WP:COI, but it's equally clear the challenged content should not be added back without a discussion and consensus. Please raise concerns at WP:BLPN. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:00, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Thea White

Reason for temporary Semi-Protection: There are reports about her death that are appearing to be citing on Twitter from a Facebook post. There is as of this time no secondary confirmation outside of the Facebook post. Coasterghost (talk) 08:05, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Example Article Name

Reason: The protection is not longer necessary because ....... . Johnnyboy.PhD (talk) 14:44, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

The protection is counter-productive and any gains are outweighed by the harm. Furthermore, the protection is contrary to the raison d'etre of an open encyclopaedia such as Wikipedia.

Thanks for the lecture and your moral outrage, Johnnyboy.PhD. How about telling us which article you're on about? Favonian (talk) 14:52, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

The article is using obsolete terminology. It is Dissociative Identity Disorder not Multiple Personality Disorder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NinJa0007 (talk • contribs) 15:49, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Which article uses the, in your opinion, incorrect terminology, NinJa0007? By the way, what's your relation to Johnny Boy, the editor who initiated the request? Favonian (talk) 16:32, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Fascism

State UNAMBIGUOUSLY your suggested changes below this line, preferably in "change X to Y" format. Other editors need to know what to add or remove. Blank edit requests will be declined.

J-invariant

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Looks like Sandro78 (See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sandro78) / Semjon Adlaj has notice that the protection on this article has expired and is back to continue his campaign of block evasion / socking / selfpromotion. Experience has shown (check the history around Jan-April 2020) he won't stop until the article is protected again. MrOllie (talk) 14:40, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Gylfi Sigurðsson

Reason: Serious WP:BLP violations relating to an arrest, resumed as soon as the last protection expired. Pretty much every edition since then qualifies for WP:REVDEL. A long protection could be helpful, as a £50 million footballer being arrested for that is not going to disappear from vandals' radars very quickly. 2A00:23C5:E187:5F00:4154:A1E2:D1F1:1537 (talk) 16:51, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary, because the user who created a promotional Wiki page was banned and it is about a large company, so experienced Wikipedia users will likely want to write about it. NorthSouthKorea (talk) 16:22, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Lammas

Indefinite semi-protection: High level of sockpuppetry, IP and SPA vandalism, in which references and information are repeatedly being removed (Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C, Exhibit D, Exhibit E). Given that this type of vandalism regularly occurs at the Lammas article, I would recommend indefinite semi-protection, as has been done at the Halloween article. AnupamTalk 19:09, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The prevailing Wiki-winds are against indef protections unless the problems are really massive. Favonian (talk) 19:28, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Turkana Boy

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Currently the subject of today's Google Doodle. lomrjyo(talk•contrib) 13:31, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It seems like a combination of vandalism and very new editors making mistakes due to unfamiliarity with Wikipedia. Two days should be sufficient for it to abate. Cheers, Mark Ironie (talk) 21:20, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

V. K. Sasikala

Reason: High level of vandalism. She is expelled from a political party. Some of her supporters vandalise her page to change her political part name. Please protect it from any furthur changes. Dravidianstock2 (talk) 18:00, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 18:23, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Vanathi Srinivasan

Reason: High level of vandalism by anti-social elements. Dravidianstock2 (talk) 18:02, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Declined: I think semi-protection (set to expire in November of this year) is working as intended to slow disruption. I think more restrictive protection, such as full protection, would be too heavy-handed at this time. I do see editing disagreements in the article's history, but the first step to addressing those is to use the article's talk page (as asked for in this recent edit summary, for example).

Ahmad Musa Jibril

Reason: The protection is not longer necessary because ....... . Abdua4949r (talk) 16:54, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Not unprotected. The article is protected as a general sanctions enforcement of WP:General sanctions/Syrian Civil War and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Unprotection seems ill-advised at this point in time. Favonian (talk) 17:04, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Peter A. McCullough

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Also Arbcom/Covid; AP2; and BLP. Disruption by more than one IP who seem to be objecting to characterising this person's claims as misinformation. This would have some collateral damage (at least the 76.198 IP seems good-faith, if occasionally a bit overzealous), but given the subject area I think being more cautious is not a bad idea. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 13:10, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I'm giving such a short time because the contributions of 78.198 seem valuable and I don't want to block them any longer than necessary. The problem edits seem to be quite recent. MelanieN (talk) 22:36, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Christian Rosa

Reason: High level of libelous vandalism by sourcing a Gossip blog. It is even stated in the websites undertitle: “Every week, Artnet News brings you Wet Paint, a gossip column of original scoops reported and written by.”” Wikipedia does not stand with gossiper and were here to build an encyclopedia. Sharpiedude (talk) 18:39, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

America's Got Talent (Season 1, 2 & 4)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by sockpuppets of Agt2008fan on these articles, constantly changing information around to make out that the program, particularly these seasons, is filmed for and originally aired for a Singaporean television network, not for an American television network, as well as claiming another participant from each season won, when evidence denotes this quite differently. The on-and-off efforts to vandalize these articles has been persistent in recent months, and semi-protection now needs to be established  – permanently. If this vandal (or any supporting them) think they can continue to do this to other articles for these programs, now that the third season's article is properly protected from such behaviour, we need to make clear that will not be the case.

Durand Line

Reason: Just as I requested Borders of India a few days ago, this article also needs protection for the same reasons: it is a sensitive political topic that will always be prone to vandalizers. In the latest vandalism I saw today which I reverted, someone removed the map. Most of these are politically/nationally charged (e.g. people who don't agree with the topic). Therefore it needs indefinite protection. Pending Changes as done for Borders of India would be a good one. I strongly believe it should not be temporarily because this is a long-term issue.

My Singing Monsters

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – For the past few days, 2 IP users have been adding unsourced and fake content in the article. The first edit was when someone put My Singing Monsters: Fandemonuiem and put that it aired in 2017 when it never aired in 2017 (It aired this year and ended with a total of 8 episodes on socal media). They then put in Those Singing Monsters but Those Singing Monsters never aired yet, and we don't know for sure if the makers of the TV show will call the TV show Those Singing Monsters. They then added an unsourced Fandemonuiem and said that it aired in 2018, but it never aired back then and then added fake information. Today, another IP user then added an unsourced section called Monster's Got Talent that aired in the United Kingdom and the US and ended in 2022, but that's fake since Monster's Got Talent would have been confiormed by BBB. These IP users could be the same users, or people taregeting the page to add fake information or edit tests. IP users might come back tomorrow and add more fake infomation, and I don't want to keep on reverting edits back and forth because I'm Semi-Retired, so I'm requesting for this page to be protected. 🎧⋆JennilyW♡🎶 (talk) 16:08, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Chameleon Musketeer (talk) 05:27, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

I would seriously recommend against this because this article has seen edit warring and other problems from ECP users in the recent months.

Reason: The protection is no longer required as there is no major disruption in these article from a year or so.

Indefinite full protection: Censorship has been attempted in the past which led to a full protection. After it’s expiration, please note the following; diff 1, in diff 2 Drmies reverts the disruption, in diff 3 it continues, see diff 4, diff 5, diff 6 the disruption doesn’t seem to be stoping any time soon. They are an influential organization thus the request for full protection. Celestina007 (talk) 02:54, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

@Celestina007: No. This is far from being a circumstance in which we would indef-protect at the full level. The disruption is mostly by anonymous IP addresses and unconfirmed accounts, so semi protection might do it, although I see some disruption from editors who would be unaffected by semiprotection.
Therefore, splitting the difference... Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:04, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. I looked prior to the one-year protection that expired today and I think this is one of those pages that is simply being under-reported because it's such a staple on people's watchlists. That means that the burden of reverting falls upon a relatively sizable group of editors, so rarely do one of them feels taxed enough to report it here. El_C 03:16, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Cleveland Guardians

Unprotection: This page was never intentionally protected; rather its protection is a byproduct of a reverted move from and back to Cleveland Indians.

That said, I don't think a preëmptive protection would be warranted here. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 03:02, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Declined. If you look at the source text in the article, there is a hidden comment saying that the Cleveland Indians article should not be moved to Cleveland Guardians until the Cleveland Indians 2021 season has ended. Removing protection would simply invite move warring. I agree, wait until the season has ended. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:13, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
@Anachronist: I'm referring to the edit protection on the redirect, not the move protection on the article. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 03:15, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
And I would have the same rationale for declining the request. Article content should be moved to new names, not merely copied and pasted, because copy-pasting destroys the contribution attributions in the article. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:19, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
I don't follow. I'm not saying that anyone should copy-paste move this. I'm saying that the redirect shouldn't be protected when there's no history of anyone vandalizing the redirect, per WP:PREEMPTIVE. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 03:21, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
You are right, I misread the logs. There is currently no move protection in place. It's just semi-protected until September 23. So, Done, it's unprotected. Apologies for my confusion! ~Anachronist (talk) 03:30, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Adam's Bridge

I'd like to specifically remove the edits of CharlieFinney here. The claims of the epic to be a "myth" or "mythical" or "mythological" should also be removed, since those claims are proven to be baseless considering the historic and archaeological evidences. The user have proven to be editing tendentiously on Hinduism related articles and literally all of his "vandalism" edits are being reverted, which you can notice from edit history. I specifically wanted to make these changes: removal of "myth" or "mythical" or "mythological" from Adam's bridge page. Adam's Bridge WikiLinuz (talk) 15:08, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

@WikiLinuz: There are justifiable occurrences of the word "myth" or "mythological" in that article where it refers to religious beliefs. The term "mythological legends", however, struck me as redundant. It should be "mythology" or "legends", one or the other. So I removed "mythological"... which, I now see that I look at your diff, is what you wanted in the first place. Therefore, Done.
I must point out that I see zero discussion on the talk page about this. That is where you should have started. Honestly I am not really sure why this section is even here on this RFPP page; it has nothing whatsoever to do with page protection. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:23, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Category:American people of Guadeloupean descent

Why is an admin only able to create this category; why am I unable to create it myself??? Please create. Thanks. Savvyjack23 (talk) 02:49, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi ToBeFree I’ve noticed that you have ran tests on this submission page in the past; I was wondering if you can assist me on this? For the first time I am honestly confused on how to make this request; never had to make such a redundant one before (in 7 years of editing). Attempting to create this category but have been unable to do so! Any help would be greatly appreciated; thanks! Savvyjack23 (talk) 03:18, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
@Savvyjack23: I removed the weird Unicode character from the name and also from the reference to the category in the Charles L. Reason article. You should now be able to create the category. Favonian (talk) 10:18, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
In case any Unicode boffins read this, the character in question appears to be the INTERLINEAR ANNOTATION SEPARATOR. Could this be a consequence of copying the category name from, say, a Word document where a line break had popped up in the middle? I totally want to blame this on Microsoft!

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Cherkezy, you should start a discussion on the article talk page about the issue you are in disagreement about, and ping the other person/people to come and talk about it. That hasn't happened yet. Also, I note that your edit summaries are rude; please stay focused on the content. And BTW I notice that if the "protection level was raised" as you requested, both you and the person you are in dispute with would be barred from editing .  MelanieN (talk) 18:14, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Sifan Hassan

Reason: Edit Warring;

1). MOS:ETHNICITY Prohibits inclusion of past nationalities or birthplaces in lead but people keep including "Ethiopian-Dutch/Ethiopian Born" despite me clearly explaining in my edits as well as in the talk section. This has happened from maybe more than 5 different users in the past week and I assure you it will continue to happen based on the politics of this situation. Sifan does not even claim Ethiopia. Only Oromo.

2). MOS:Ethnicity Allows inclusion of ethnicity when notable, hence I am arguing her Oromo background is notable and it should be listed as "Oromo-Dutch" in the lead. She takes much pride in it and is adored by the Oromo people. It also falls in line with admin decision to lock Nikola Tesla's ethnicity in the same "Ethnicity-nationality" format. "Serbian-American" after a long debate on it.

Leyncho (talk) 21:49, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

It is notable that she was born in Ethiopia and was an Ethiopian citizen; she fled to the Netherlands as an Ethiopian refugee and this is central to her story, featuring prominently in media coverage of Hassan. I could not, however, find any mention of her being "Oromo" in English language press besides tweets remarking about how she once held an Oromo Liberation Front flag at an event, or describing her as being from the Oromia region of Ethiopia.
There seems to be a consensus that Hassan is Ethiopian-born, living in Ethiopia until the age of 15, later fleeing to the Netherlands and becoming a Dutch national. Her ethnic sub-grouping (Oromo) is not notable enough to supplant the factual statement that she is Ethiopian-born.
Can an admin please look at this? This user has been a particular nuisance in the Hassan article. Kronix1986 (talk) 08:57, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

The 'only' thing that I have found saying that both of them are doing it is through a quick Google search that brings up the result at the top, without any source to back it up.

The source citation for this section, as well as other sources use the accurate term, "sex", so this disgusting effort to euphemize it is not acceptable to the Wikipedia community.

Template:COVID-19 treatments (current consensus)

Reason: Requesting consensus required restriction (and the addition of an editnotice) for this list of consensuses in a very contentious area, where many IPs have edited against consensus and flooded talk pages with edit requests to non-MEDRSes. See: Talk:Bret Weinstein, Talk:Ivermectin, Talk:Didier Raoult, Talk:Pierre Kory, Talk:Hydroxychloroquine. Please let me know if this is the wrong place for this request! Or if this is otherwise out of order. Thank you for any help you can provide. Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 17:41, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Not actioning this myself, but see my note at Special:Diff/1037793069. KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 19:04, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
Kevin and Shibbolethink, I'm not sure logging is the issue so much (though, of course, would be required), but rather, adding a CR to a page whose talk page is currently comment-blank (also has no AE talk page notice), which in my experience is quite unprecedented. CR always or almost always is used for pages whose talks are discussion-intensive. It isn't so much a blunt WP:ONUS tool (though, that dimension of course also exists), so a bit of uncharted realms here. And then, there's the matter of enforcement. I suppose the question and-then-then is: who is the lucky admin? Obviously, beyond that, this is RfPP and CR is not a protection action (though where one would otherwise request this action is unclear — don't say ANI, don't say ANI). But beyond-beyond that, why isn't this a protection request that seeks actual protection action? Above all else, that confuses me most. El_C 13:56, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
Oh, I think I get it now. It's like a CR Omni bill via the template (a template which an unconfirmed user has never edited), how unconventional (and confusing). El_C 14:07, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
Apologies for the confusion. I'm personally not a huge fan of the meta-consensus templates either but they seem to be widely in use in this topic area – which is why I defer to other administrators. KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 14:30, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

L235, El_C, totally understand if this isn't something either of you are comfortable with. I was really unclear on the proper venue! But it's not entirely uncharted waters, in this topic area. As a corollary, one can take a look at the COVID-19 Wikiproject-wide consensus list which was EC protected and given an informal, then GS, then DS consensus-required edit notice without much prior disruption/argument from what I can tell. It is then transcluded to this template which is unprotected. I didn't think the EC was necessary in this case, but the CR made sense to me. I wasn't sure if that was the norm or not, hence the request! If out of order, or if you'd prefer more disruption before actioning, that is A-OK with me, and I totally understand. Thanks, Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 14:52, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Shibbolethink, I don't think you're entirely grasping my issue. What is it that we are protecting? The template, preemptively? If so, to what end? El_C 15:02, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
Sorry if my response was unclear. Yes, I meant the template, which is both the consensus list and the template in the case of this one. To ensure that editors know to remove an item from the list only when a new consensus exists superseding the formerly established consensus. This is the same way it was used with the Project-wide consensus. I think this was done in the past per the original GS language (emphasis mine): Additionally, any uninvolved administrator may impose on any page or set of pages relating to the area of conflict page protection, revert restrictions, prohibitions on the addition or removal of certain content (except when consensus for the edit exists), or any other reasonable measure that the enforcing administrator believes is necessary and proportionate for the smooth running of the project. And thus now would be done via the DS language, which copies the GS.--Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 15:08, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content by anonymous-IP user(s). Three (3) attempts by anonymous-IP user(s) to re-add the same information, without citation, in the last four (4) days, countered by multiple editors properly removing it. Four (4) attempts within the last seven (7) days; seven (7) attempts total to re-add the information in the last four (4) weeks, with the recent marked increase in frequency of the same problem activity prompting my request here. The anon-IP user(s) are now rapidly reverting multiple editors' attempts to remove the problem information.

(For the curious: the problem information is an odd little thing—sweeping, reference-free, original-research claims about a Roman emperor's responsibility for the next two centuries[!] of Rome's history. I'd describe it, charitably, as hagiography unsuitable for an encyclopedia. In any case, no sources are cited at all.)

Christine Weston Chandler

I am requesting un-"salting" of the topic of Christine Weston Chandler—formally known as Christian Weston Chandler. I believe that page is protected indefinitely from being re-created.

Reason: given her recent appearances in large mainstream publications, the wiki dedicated to her existence (currently overloaded with queries, I might add), fourteen years of meticulous documentation by thousands of people, and her status as possibly the most visible internet trolling victim of all time, I think she's cleared notability requirements.

It may be time to consider un-salting this topic... VERY CAREFULLY. It should probably have indefinite autoconfirm protection at a minimum. (Ironic coming from an IP editor—I am aware)

Is there a better place to pitch this, or have I come to the right place?

Suicide

Reason: The protection is not longer necessary because ....... . 174.83.149.18 (talk) 17:57, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Article name : “Suicide”

Reason :There is no information at all about ritual suicide for spiritual reasons.

Many, many individuals in communist-occupied Tibet commit suicide in an ancient ritual called “Taking the Body of Buddha in Fire”. It is not an attempt to criticize current government. It is not an act of desperation. It is not a personal dissatisfaction with their lives. It doesnt create better conditions for others in society.

This kind of suicide is not presented in the article.

In fact, only negative views of suicide are presented, the decision to commit suicide is considered “irrational”?

Moreover, the article is LOCKED for editing. Seems like a personal control issue for somebody.

Suicide as a subject should NEVER be closed for discussion or editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.83.149.18 (talk) 17:57, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure

Indefinite full protection: This page needs to be protected due to the legal implications of edits made to it. Specifically, this page is listed at meta:Alternative paid contribution disclosure policies. The implications of this are outlined in the terms of use, which says A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section when contributing to that Project. An alternative paid contribution policy will only supersede these requirements if it is approved by the relevant Project community and listed in the alternative disclosure policy page. This means that changes to this page could have immediate effects on the ability of editors to comply with the terms of use. Full disclosure, there's currently a discussion on the talk page on whether this page is or should be an "alternative disclosure policy" but I think we should be better safe than sorry for the time being and fully protect the page. Chess (talk) (please use {{reply to|Chess}} on reply) 01:00, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

The page has never been approved by the community as an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy, as required by wmf:Terms of use#4. Refraining from Certain Activities. In a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Conflict of interest/Archive 16 § Update to reflect new Terms of Use on whether or not English Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline was an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy, Stephen LaPorte from WMF Legal wrote, "...no, this guideline is not an alternative disclosure policy contemplated under the Terms of Use. To adopt this as an alternative policy, there would need to be consensus to change the disclosure requirements in the Terms of Use. More detail is available in this FAQ. ... the consensus should refer to the Terms of Use to set an alternative. For example, see this proposal pending on commons." This requirement has never been met for any page on English Wikipedia and so Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure is not a community-approved alternative paid contribution disclosure policy. isaacl (talk) 03:10, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
@Isaacl: I'm in agreement with you but we should still protect this page until it's clear that edits to it would not have legal implications. Chess (talk) (please use {{reply to|Chess}} on reply) 04:23, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
Seconding Chess; that the page has not been adopted as part of an alternative policy doesn't mean that editing it lacks legal implications. As a rule, courts and bodies of arbitration do not restrict the relevance of any document under a party's control to those documents that the party previously agreed were relevant before a dispute's brought before them. Protection is therefore wise until such time as the relevant question is answered fully, which is not the question of whether the page is part of an official disclosure policy, but, as Chess describes, whether edits to the page would or would not have legal implications. That's the question that needs to be answered here. ComicsAreJustAllRight (talk) 06:56, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
Note wmf:Terms of Use/en#10. Management of Websites refers to all community policies and how users agree to abide by them. I'm not clear that one guidance page should be treated differently than others. isaacl (talk) 13:59, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Dragon Ball AF

Could an Administrator please create this page as a redirect to Toyotarou, and consider removing protections for it if deemed appropriate?

Please note that I am submitting this as a courtesy request for User:ERAGON, who incorrectly made a similar request at WP:AFC/R and was directed here. Please direct any questions to them, as I am not familiar with the matter personally.

The original reason provided was: Fan manga from 2000. A previous discussion in 2014 found AF not notable- however since that time, the author Toyotarou has gained notability, and now has his own article. While AF was written under the pen name "Toyble", there are reliable sources connecting him to it, and therefore a redirect to him would be apropriate. Dragon Ball AF is locked and requires Admin access.

Please find the original request and discussion here (or here after archival). 49.194.27.2 (talk) 20:47, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Immigration to the United States

Under Contemporary Immigration, the first line says 'Approximately half of immigrants living in the United States are from Mexico and other Latin American countries.' This is false, most immigrants living in the United States are from Asia, as stated in a McGraw Hill college textbook on federal government. 2603:8080:3000:9400:4483:96B3:653C:74E7 (talk) 02:12, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Brazil

Reason: This page has been attacked for use by political party interests, such as: Brazilians interested in the fall of current president Jair Bolsonaro, inserting in the text "estimates" that the president "maybe will do" negative things, without concrete data such as established numbers, just a "wish" from the editor for the same to happen; it also includes attacks by ecologists who post 2008 Greenpeace "forecasts" without any concrete data on the realization of such forecasts, that is, they are turning the article into a collection of "opinions" rather than numbers or hard facts. Infinite protection at a level where only a very few high-ranking English wiki editors could edit is suggestible, making it impossible for left-wing Brazilians and world ecologists to bias articles with personal opinions and predictions of something that never happened or will never happen. Gtroviz (talk) 03:30, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Sheila Carter

Reason: Constant vandalism has led to unsolvable and time-consuming edit wars. Details: Consensus was reached on certain matters pertaining to that article. WP:OR (incl. speculation) is not allowed, and it was decided the article would reflect any change pertaining to such matters would the serials in question clearly address them. However, a user called AdArman made seven edits (that went against consensus) without any prior discussion. They then proceeded to edit war, removing a casting photo three times despite consensus explained to them. And now, an IP (213.147.166.219) has made two edits going against said consensus without any prior discussion.

Change "The group consists of six members: Miyeon, Minnie, Soojin, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua." to "The group consists of five members: Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua. Originally a six-piece, Soojin departed from the group in August 2021". The page is full of vandalism since Cube Entertainment announced that she had departed from the group.

LMDh

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing and slow-motion edit wars. Misrepresentation/misinterpretation of sources (almost entirely by IP editors or new accounts) repeatedly leads to rumours being presented as fact (ie. a source saying "Lamborghini are understood to be likely to field a team in the category" will be presented as saying "Lamborghini have confirmed that they are committed to fielding a team in the category"). Also occasional back-and-forths over what the acronym stands for (different primary sources seem to disagree on what the "h" stands for, with consensus being that it doesn't stand for anything specifically). Situation will likely settle down once the series starts next year, but currently a look at the article's history shows that most of what has happened for the past few months is a cycle of poorly-sourced content being added and then reverted.

Hanfu

Reason: Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP and account are removing well sourced information and adding error information.

  • HanKim20 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) This account has been modified 13 times of Hanfu entries this month, and the modified content is completely wrong and distorts historical facts. For example, he said "that Chinese lost their original type of this Han clothing because Mao Zedong burned every cultural heritage in 1966.5.16 called Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. So Chinese made imaginary shape of hanfu in 2000s. But these days, Chinese argue that modern hanfu is actual traditional clothing of Han dynasty. However, it is not." This is a lie. Once it is found to be corrected, it will be tampered with by him, which will have a bad impact on users browsing this entry and make people understand the history of errors..

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Please consider semi-protect for the very same reasons that North East England was protected.

Here's a fantastic example - it's never-ending. IP adds list of vehicles with reference (diff) - but vehicles don't actually match those in the reference, e.g. the force doesn't own a single Audi. So this morning I go through the reference and pick out the relevant top vehicles (diff). This afternoon the "I don't like it because I didn't write it" article-owning IP deletes the whole paragraph as "unnecessary" (diff).

Template:Toc limit

Template protection: High-risk template – 360 transclusions. There was recently some high-profile template vandalism, which has lead to at least one instance of someone bypassing the shortcut as it's not considered safe to use - which is suboptimal as a cosmetic edit.

Template:TOC limit has 20,159 transclusions, the redirect mentioned has 360. I think that all instances of Toc limit should just be replaced with the main one, TOC limit, as opposed to using a redirect - there will be no change to the displayed content. Perhaps someone with AWB privileges can do that. Pahunkat (talk) 16:46, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
360 cosmetic bot edits on highly visible, controversial pages such as Iron Dome when there is an easier solution, hm. You can fix today's transclusions, but this will continue to happen, and the type of articles affected by the redirect are tendentially large and important.

Afghanistan++

Reason: There has been a huge controversy regarding the rule over the country between the internationally recgonized Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the unregconized Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Consensus is still not decided yet. What I am requesting is full protection. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 17:23, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

  • I'm relatively sure that any duration of full protection would be inefficient for this article. Extended-confirmed protection, warnings about edit warring and (if really necessary) reports at WP:AN3 should do the job. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:13, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Came here to add these two Afghan-related articles. Somewhat surprised at the response above and would request that ToBeFree review the recent histories of these pages, (esp. Aug 15→) as there is persistent disruptive editing occurring (if I added "on a massive scale!"... would that be too dramatic? ;-) Anyway, far too many changes being made by fly-by ip editors with no sourcing in support, no discussion on the talk pages, etc. Even a 7-day lock, to help limit the damage for now, and hopefully a clearer picture will emerg in that time regarding the status of the Afghan gov't and military (ie: resignations & int'l recognition of a new Afghan "Emirate", or official gov't in exile status, etc.) Thanks - wolf 21:49, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
I had move-protected and semi-protected Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and have now additionally semi-protected Afghan National Army. Regarding Afghan Armed Forces, I guess semi-protection could be justified; regarding Afghanistan, I personally won't full-protect the page as I believe in the community's ability to handle this without full protection. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:23, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
Thanks TBF. Semi is all I was looking for on the two military pages, (I should've specified that), like I said, just want to limit the fly-by ip/cn edits until the situation there is hopefully a little clearer. Cheers - wolf 22:41, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Amrullah Saleh

Reason: This article has been subject to over 100 edits in less than 12 hours, including many by IPs. There appears to be a content dispute over whether Amrullah Saleh is the caretaker president of Afghanistan or claims to be the caretaker president of Afghanistan. The reliable sources in use on the page assert the latter, but some editors have been editing the lede and infobox irrespectively. There also appear to be minor disputes, including over removing references to being a caretaker president altogether. With a small number of exceptions, editors are not using the talk page, even when it is requested in edit summaries. As this is a high profile page in a high profile situation and there is no sign of the dispute slowing down, I think that it would be best to increase the page's protection, perhaps to stop IP edits and introduce a three revert rule, though I will leave this up to the administrators.

National emblem of Belarus

Reason: Belarusian nationalists are performing controversial edits about the history of the Lithuanian coat of arms (Pahonia). They aggressively attempt to remove facts from the Encyclopedia Britannica that prior to 1918 Belarus had no national symbols and no state (1, 2, 3). Since it is a level-5 vital article, I believe that controversial edits should not be tolerated. I request to impose permanent extendedconfirmed protection for article National emblem of Belarus to avoid nationalistic controversial edits. It will be much easier to monitor extendedconfirmed users disruptive edits and report them. -- Pofka (talk) 16:55, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Name of page you are requesting an edit to

"Change the first sentence in which it is stated that Jats were 'non elite peasants' to "agricultural community" As they were neither 'non-elite' and nor 'peasants'. This is derogatory to a historically successful community, which has infact ruled over many states in north India. The reference given is also from Susan Bayly who is infact a white lady with no empirical research and Indian background. There are several books by Indians on Jat history that can be referenced against for this. Calling a community 'non-elite peasants' in introduction of a Wikipedia article is not okay and sends a wrong message to the knowledge seeker who might end up on this page invariably. There are several articles on other Indian communities which doesn't start like this at all. It doesn't make sense at all to have this specific reference from a specific book, when we literally have tons of literature that state otherwise. Not sure if this is referenced in spite or not but this is definitely in bad taste. As, I belong from the same community and I am speaking for all of us here, we do not appreciate this kind of language being used to describe our people by a caucasian lady with credentials less than ordinary for the subject matter. 49.207.214.103 (talk) 12:59, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Jun Matsumoto

Reason: There had been attempts of downgrading the article (and the quality of the article is significantly lower than the one in 07:22, 19 January 2021, where the article in the January version is able to provide more balanced and concise introduction and body (although some minor referencing issues were present), while the current state presents some irrelevant referencing, questionable formatting, and grammatical errors), and more notably, there is revert war going on with strong involvement of IP addresses (multiple IP addresses present; each IP addresses are used few times). Here are some deeper breakdowns on how the Jun Matsumoto page meets criteria for semi-protection: 1. Many of the vandalism comes from IP addresses (although IP addresses are different, the content of editing and summary for editing are very similar) 2. Very few unregistered editors are attempting to make constructive contributions (however, most are not of quality), compared to the amount of vandalism from unregistered editors (vandalism here regards lack of NPOV; for example on the introduction page the following quote "Also, The film was adapted into a Korean drama in [...] Matsumoto's career began to be quite blossomed as an actor" showed irrelevant details that does not have to do with Matsumoto's career, lack of adequate information, lack of citation, biased POV with lack of citation, and grammatical errors; another serious act of violating NPOV is the mention of a presumably gossip information with another real life figure named Kiko Mizuhara and the presumed gossip has no citations at all). 3. There are constant vandals, and the task of notifying and warning all the vandals individually is a lot more taxing as different IP addresses (although with similar motives) are present. 4. The "View history" for the page is heavily filled with reverts, with up to 100 edits in just within the past 72 hours (approximately); that approximate 100 edits alone count for around one-third amount of total edits for this article that is started from 20:23, 9 May 2005‎. 5. The article is a BLP/article on living people. From self's investigation on the editing history, there is a minor attempt of downgrading the article ever since 06:25, 16 February 2021‎, but the downgrading only starts to get serious from 13:54, 16 August 2021‎ onwards, and edit warring has also been occurring ever since. I would like to note that this same page is also listed for peer review. With the semi-protection of the page being in place, restoration of the page's initial quality along with additional upgrades will be taken place. Thank you for your patience and consideration.

Batman: The Adventures Continue

Reason: There is a masked IP editor who keeps adding erroneous content. He keeps on trying to claim that characters are being introduced into DCAU continuity for the first time when those characters have already appeared in previous comics based on Batman: The Animated Series. Ideally, someone with the technical know-how can simply ban the masked user's general location, but if that's not possible, then please add some level of page protection so that only registered users can make edits. Thanks! 136.49.32.166 (talk) 00:03, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Erika Jayne

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Per the subject's being in the news because of her husband's legal issues and because of footage recently airing on this season's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, this BLP is seeing persistent vandalism with multiple editors committing vandalism, inserting words like "con artist", "swindler", "embezzler" into the occupation parameter of the article's infobox and so on.

Needs at least temporary editing restrictions, though auto-confirmed permanent protection would be most useful since the legal issues - pending divorce, possible federal/state charges/indictments/etc., possible (ex)husband's competency hearings, civil lawsuits - will probably be around for at least the next few years.

Australian Strategic Policy Institute

The news article is published on an established Australian news website, operated by Michael West (journalist). The issue is in how this is characterised in the Wikipedia article, and it is right that this is characterised as coming from a critical source. Onetwothreeip (talk) 02:00, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
Oh, I see. I went to Michael West, but saw no mention of him. Struck. El_C 02:05, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

I couldn't find anything about their fact checking or editorial policy, but his Wikipedia bio makes him seem legit enough. Maybe take it to WP:RSN, especially since the piece in question involves Wikipedia itself, so we ought to minimize the risk of navel gazing. El_C 02:22, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
That is probably the place it will end up if talk page discussion doesn’t result in consensus. Having personally spent so much time dealing with ineedtostopforgeeting sockpuppets its annoying to see one misattributed, much less to have it suggested that the Telsho sock was somehow run by ASPI!

Hainanese chicken rice

Reason: Persistent long-term vandalism by IPs on either side of the Malaysia/Singapore origins debate. It's just been a constant trickle for years that requires checking every edit, and these checks are likely being done by multiple editors. It's just a time-waster. I'd semi'd it, then had second thoughts because I cleaned it up back in Jan 2019 and have been reverting this vandalism ever since, so I'm probably involved there. It does get some of the same vandalism from registered users, but that's rare. —valereee (talk) 12:37, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Template:Legality of cannabis by US state

Reason: Hello. I would like to request semi-protection for Template:Legality of cannabis by US state for as long as possible. It is a page that consists of only three sentences and a few other words, so there really is no need for anyone to be editing it very often. Recently it has been targeted by a troll / vandal of varying IP's in India (see edits here, here, here) who also has a history of simlar vandalizing Legality of cannabis (see edits here, here, here). A block for the user may be necessary as well, but I wanted to try page protection first since the user is using varying IP's and I think it would be a good idea to protect the page anyways since it is highly visible at the top of a number of highly viewed articles... particularly Legality of cannabis by U.S. jurisdiction which gets 6,000 views/day, but also other pages that each get hundreds of views a day such as Timeline of cannabis laws in the United States, Legalization of non-medical cannabis in the United States, Medical cannabis in the United States, and Cannabis in the United States.

Talk:Palmer_Report

Temporary semi-protection: HighinBC previously protected the Talk page of Palmer Report, which was necessary as the owner of the website which the article is about used his large following to direct readers to the Talk page for, what some construed to be, the purpose of threatening editors. That protection has recently expired. Coinciding with expiration of protection, the owner of the website which is the subject of the article has resumed posting rather extreme off-Wiki threats (e.g. here [64], and places to which I can't link due to the nature of the threats), resulting in the arrival of IP editors using the Talk page to make personal attacks. This article is under WP:ARBAP2 discretionary sanctions. Though we don't usually protect Talk pages, I think long-term protection of a Talk page that is the target of a coordinated, off-Wiki harassment campaign is consistent with Paragraph 12 of the WMF's Community Culture Statement of 22 May 2020 which advises decisive intervention in cases of editors targeted by "hostile and toxic behavior".

Reason: This page has a history of new accounts and IP editors adding promotional links, adverts, and dubious (pseudoscientific) material promoting the wearing/use of rudraksha beads.

Tradescantia zebrina

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Mainly IP editors have been removing a documented decades-old common name of this plant (wandering jew); 8 times removed in 2021 alone, with several more removals back as far as Sept 2020. 4 editors have complained or expressed frustration on the Talk page about these disruptive changes, with no support expressed for the term's removal (except in edit summaries). Its use is shown in Wiktionary under "wandering Jew" [66], and this article is mentioned in Wandering Jew (disambiguation). Any online search for "Wandering Jew Tradescantia zebrina" comes up with dozens (hundreds?) of results describing the plant's common name as "Wandering Jew". Even searching Google Scholar comes up with numerous horticultural references. The majority of the removals have been IP addresses. Giving the page some protection should help slow the disruption.

Spider-Man: No Way Home

Reason: The level of disruptive editing/edit warring seen on this article is definitely not serious enough to warrant full protection. With the first trailer just released, this will prevent many editors from adding in legitimate information to the article. Pinging El C, who was the one who protected this page. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:29, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Also pinging @Favre1fan93, Facu-el Millo, and Cardei012597 for thoughts. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:36, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
Declined. Actually, the edit warring is quite egregious, which the revision history makes abundant. Resolve on the article talk page, this isn't the place to discuss the dispute. El_C 04:38, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
​From the page history, I can only count one edit war (regarding Dafoe's inclusion), which has already been resolved, with the user warned on their talk page. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:43, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
I'm counting reverts in the double digits from multiple editors during the past few hours alone, so colour me confused. El_C 04:46, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
There have been other acts of vandalism on No Way Home, like the several attempts to add Miles Morales. It's not just edits regarding Dafoe. Cardei012597 (talk) 04:51, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
One editor warned is not assurances enough that edit warring which involves so many participants will cease. El_C 04:57, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
It should be decreased. Both users that started edit wars had no knowledge of policies and guidelines, one was requesting an official source instead of a reliable secondary source (User:Davelo15), while the other one was adding unsourced information (User:ErnestoCabral2018), for which he received a warning from me. This second user has edited disruptively more than once recently. There was no legitimate edit war between opposing points of view, just clearly disruptive editing being properly reverted and appropriate warnings being delivered. Please look more closely at the nature of these edit wars before implementing full-protection, some so-called edit wars are just editors reverting disruptive editing. —El Millo (talk) 05:38, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
I have to agree that full protection is overkill here. Some inexperienced editors were edit warring in the immediate aftermath of the release of new information. By the time the article was protected, several hours had passed since they stopped and more experienced editors had cleaned up the article and provided the necessary sources, etc. It really should be business as usual from now on, and if specific editors continue to be disruptive then they can be handled using the standard disciplinary processes. If we completely locked down all articles about popular subjects every time inexperienced users started edit warring over them then the experienced editors would never be able to maintain and contribute to them. - adamstom97 (talk) 05:45, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
In addition, this happens every time a new trailer or something like that drops for MCU projects. Inexperienced editors come in and add unconfirmed rumors or improperly sourced info, or remove info because Marvel Studios didn't confirm it themselves. This instance is no exception, and it shouldn't be treated as an exception. —El Millo (talk) 05:49, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
User:El C said earlier to "Resolve on the article talk page, this isn't the place to discuss the dispute." So, I started a discussion for this issue at Talk:Spider-Man: No Way Home#Discussion on Decreasing the Page Protection. We should move this situation there, rather than continuing it here. Cardei012597 (talk) 05:53, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
I took that as referring to the disputes about article content, not page protection. "Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Decrease" is definitely the place to discuss decreasing the page protection. - adamstom97 (talk) 05:57, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
Even if we do not get anything accomplished here, the protection tag does expire on August 27, so it is not the worst situation imaginable. However, I do agree the protection tag is too extreme for the situation at hand. Cardei012597 (talk) 07:01, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
Declined Once consensus has been found, the protection might be eased. I left a note on the talk-page over there. Lectonar (talk) 10:20, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Vinayak Damodar Savarkar

Vinayak Damodar Sawarkar

change "Savarkar wanted both religions in the same country where the Muslims lived in a subordinate position to the Hindus. Since then, RSS continued pursuing this unequal citizenship." to Savarkar said, “We shall ever guarantee protection to the religion, culture and language of the minorities for themselves, but we shall no longer tolerate any aggression on their part on the equal liberty of the Hindus to guard their religion, culture and language as well. If the non-Hindu minorities are to be protected then surely the Hindu majority also must be protected against any aggressive minority in India.” hence promoting muslims are equal citizen and not subordinates,

Pahonia (disambiguation)

Reason: A red-hot dispute regarding article Pahonia was recently solved at Talk:Pahonia#RFC: Pahonia (RFC closing statement by an administrator). The WP:CONS was to remake article Pahonia into a redirect page to article Coat of arms of Lithuania, however some users aggressively refused to accept a clear WP:CONS and performed revert warring, thus extendedconfirmed-level protection was applied to it.

Unable to continue revert warring in it, some users created a disambiguation page Pahonia (disambiguation) and this way attempts to deny WP:CONS. As already mentioned, WP:CONS was to remake article Pahonia into a redirect page to article Coat of arms of Lithuania (suggestion A of the RFC), while the disambiguation page was suggestions B of the RFC, which was not accepted by the majority of the community in the RFC.

As a result, page Pahonia (disambiguation) violates recently reached WP:CONS, thus I request to delete this page and to apply extendedconfirmed-level protection to it so that it would not be possible to arbitrarily deny WP:CONS. WP:LISTEN must be ensured. Since administrator Jc37 (who closed RFC of Pahonia) mentioned in his closing statement that violation of WP:CONS will result in sanctions, I also suggest to consider sanctions for users who attempted to deny this WP:CONS. -- Pofka (talk) 17:20, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

I'm not declining or endorsing this request, but just noting that there seems to be ongoing disruption, and an SPI request, as well. - jc37 17:50, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Personally, as I noted in the log, I don't have any problem with indefinite protection for BLPs that are targets, and when a brand-new account comes along I'm a bit suspicious--but go ahead and unprotect it if you have some faith that this is for the best; we can always reconsider if it goes wrong.

Reason: It's been long enough that I think we can try letting this page go unprotected again. I'd also like it unprotected in order to allow COI editors to implement their own requests once they've been approved by a neutral editor. ––𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲 talk 22:53, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

COI editors shouldn't be implementing their own requests, generally. They should make an edit request, and another editor should implement. —valereee (talk) 13:19, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
@Valereee: I thought they were permitted to implement uncontroversial edits? ––𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲 talk 13:35, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
FD, it's not that they aren't permitted, it's that they're very strongly discouraged. And if they're paid, even more so. From their point of view, direct editing by a COI will often draw intense scrutiny, often hostile scrutiny in the case of paid editing, and is quite likely to get the page bannered, and they really don't want that. I've seen it happen that every bit of info that doesn't have an unaffiliated RS -- like number of outlets, which is often sourced to the company website -- gets stripped out. It's better all around if well-intentioned COI editors just make edit requests and let some other editor decide to make the edits. It's slower, and they won't get everything they want, but that's actually good. —valereee (talk) 13:41, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in Malta

Reason: High level of un-sourced edits by an unregistered user.

The article COVID-19 pandemic in Malta has had multiple additions of unsourced content to the Timeline section of the article since June 2020. Not a single citation has been provided since then. Due to a lack of regular editors, no one noticed this. Starting in Jan 2021, an unregistered user User:94.17.58.249 has done the same. Have a glance here [2], over 300 edits so far none of which have any citations.

I have since moved the content to a separate article, Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in Malta as is common practice for the COVID-19 WikiProject to avoid cluttering the main articles with too many details and to avoid lengthy articles which later cause an issue with size. An 'additional citations needed' tag has also been place at the top. Note the lack of citations since June 2020.

Two editors including myself have left messages on the talk page of the user reminding them to add citations, but there is no response from them. Either they don't know how to check those messages or have simply ignored them. They are continuing this behavior now on the Timeline article. Perhaps the best way to deal with it is to apply a level of protection to the article for a while. •Shawnqual• 📚 • 💭 20:33, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – So, this Nigerian politician is running for the 2023 elections in Nigeria and there has been a lot of trolling on him being too old.

He is a former governor of Nigeria's smartest states, Lagos so there's a lot of shoelicking as well as shoestoning.

Wikipedia being the frontpage of global knowledge, people head to this article to vandalize it and show their friends on WhatsApp forums. A protection is direly needed.

Palmer Report

I would like to request an edit in the header of the Palmer Report page. It now says "Palmer Report in a fake news". It is the term "fake news" I would like changed as it is inflammatory and other editors have agreed with this. I would like to request "speculative" or "opinion based" or "analysis based" or "theoretical." Barring those can it be reverted to what the header was before which said "partisan"? PR is not in the same category as infowars and in fact were just featured on MSNBC-Brian Williams the other night and MSNBC is an approved source I think. Please don't shut down my request.

Flower Troupe

Reason: On 2021/8/3, the Flower Troupe English page I created (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_Troupe) was first completely wiped out and redirected by the user Onel5969, and then listed in a delete discussion, after I found out and argued my case. Up until now, a consense couldn't be reached to delete it, as Onel5969 has suggested, and the page remain as is. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Flower_Troupe).

Now this page is again being flagged, this time for notability, by Onel5969, again.

While the situation has not escalated to qualify as editing warring or the 3RR, I think Onel5969 is taking things personal. What steps can I take to protect my work from further harassment from him/her?

My apologies if I've asked a question you've already provided answers to, but sometimes these explanation pages are more confusing than dealing with a persistent editor.

Thanks a million!

Reason: Per protecting editors El_C's request to form a consensus on the offending material caught in the edit war (as noted in its decrease request from a few days ago), that has now been done with this discussion.

Favre1fan93, the protection will expire in a few hours, so maybe just wait it out...? El_C 15:02, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
El_C I mean, sure, but myself and other regular editors have a lot of additional material outside of the contentious material that caused the protection that we can begin working on now instead of waiting for the 13 or so hours from the comment when the protection will automatically expire. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:12, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Remove right and left wing terms for fascism. Simply because Nazis were far right does not mean that fascism is solely a right wing ideology. Much of fascism today is perpetrated by left wing ideological persons who only attribute fascism with right wing and therefore refuse to see themselves in a fascist manner. Thus hinders the ability to remove fascism completely from a free and democratic or libertarian society. 2607:FA49:6800:5F00:641C:7E8E:683E:F0F (talk) 13:23, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Pahonia

Reason: Extendedconfirmed-level protection was applied to article Pahonia due to persistent disruptive editing, however now newly created users (likely sock puppets of somebody) are performing random edits in this article's talk page: Gedzimin. Consequently, I request to apply permanent extendedconfirmed-level protection to Talk:Pahonia as well. The disruption comes from users who disagree with WP:CONS of RFC. This Draft:Pahonia(emblem) should be deleted as well because WP:CONS of RFC decided to keep Pahonia as a redirect page to Coat of arms of Lithuania. Similar page: Draft:Pahonia coat of arms of Belarus was already deleted recently. This is clearly the same sock puppet user causing disruption (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kazimier Lachnovič). -- Pofka (talk) 19:47, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Ringo Starr discography

Reason: Since 7 August this has been the target of repeated vandalism by a moving IP, exaggerating chart positions and sales certifications, and adding ludicrous chart placings (e.g. Ringo the 4th reaching no. 341 on a 100-position chart in Sweden, and "Drowning in the Sea of Love" reaching no. 299 on the Billboard 100 in the US). Several IP addresses were blocked by Ohnoitsjamie (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/213.237.83.215, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/213.237.82.199 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/213.237.93.79, for example), but the editor simply moves on to other IP addresses, so it appears some form of protection against IP editing is needed.

Phi Sigma Chi

Reason: I intend to create a REDIRECT for this page to this 100 year old local sorority, to link back to a section of the College's page.
History: A decade ago, multiple groups attempted to draft this article, which from the comments was done poorly, and repeatedly. It is now locked indefinitely for "Repeated creation". I participate in the Fraternity and Sorority Project, and have been providing REDIRECTS for the 24 other local Grove City College fraternities back to the college page. They're bona fide groups, several are 100 years old. The admin who placed this protection a decade ago hasn't been active for years. --Would you remove this protection, and allow me to create the proper redirect? Jax MN (talk) 05:31, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello? I'd certainly appreciate some assistance here from an admin. Jax MN (talk) 13:45, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
I may not have been clear. Following standard naming practices for the Fraternity & Sorority Project, this Grove City College group would get the article name. Yes, they are a "local". There is no "national" that is claiming it. The only other possible claimant is a dormant high school fraternity, but they too have been silent on any page request for over a decade. They appear disbanded. But moreover, our Project distinguishes these rare high school fraternities (most are dormant) with the word "secondary" in the article name if any clarification would be needed. --Thus they would be "Phi Sigma Chi (secondary) were they to get a page. This is consistent with the naming rules we've been using, and which our go-to reference book, Baird's Manual has used for a century and a half. To sum up, the article was SALTED because of repetition of bad drafts, plagued by COPYVIO, PEACOCK or just poor quality. My proposed redirect won't have these problems, and is consistent with all other predicates.
There is no "broad target" - do I misunderstand you? Among the many thousands of Greek named groups, we've had to create just ~20 DAB pages.
Finally, in what would normally be an uncontested move, what I'd like to occur is to move the content of Phi Sigma Chi (sorority), a brand new redirect page, to Phi Sigma Chi. It's that simple, just a page move. If a DAB were required, we'd create that instead, but in this case, as a category expert, I do not feel it necessary. Jax MN (talk) 15:18, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
While they may not have Wikipedia articles, there obviously exists a national Phi Sigma Chi organization. Regardless of whether or not that organization is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, I don't see the argument for redirecting the broad title to a very specific target in a subsection of one college. We shouldn't be redirecting any organization names to a specific chapter of that organization unless that specific chapter is sufficiently notable on it's own. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:43, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
Again, Jamie, you're making an assumption. There is no national collegiate organization called Phi Sigma Chi. It may sound like others, but this particular set of three letters in this order is unused. So they aren't usurping anyone's claim to the page. It was SALTED over a decade ago because newbie editors weren't following the rules about NPV, COPYVIO and PEACOCK.
Let me also address the issue of notability, and predicate. There have been perhaps 50,000 local Greek letter organizations with unique names, called "Locals" because they aren't affiliated elsewhere. About half of these have gone on to affiliate with a national, and change their name. Most of the rest have folded. Of those that remain, maybe 500, only a handful meet the bar that the Fraternity and Sorority Project has set for notability for us to support them having their own article. We have a clear set of rules that, for the category, expand on Wikipedia's general rules about notability. For a local chapter, these requirements include external references and at least ten years of uninterrupted, confirmed existence. This group, with about 100 years of activity, meets that standard. It could even qualify for its own article. But at present, all I seek is a REDIRECT, with possibilities, like the 26 other fraternities and sororities on this campus. They are all locals, meaning, no national affiliation. (With respect, I think you may be confusing the word "chapter" with "local". Chapter is a specific branch of a national fraternity, on a specific campus. The term "local", standing alone as a noun, means an independent group.) Jax MN (talk) 18:21, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
And I do thank you for engaging on this issue. My request had sat there for a few days. I appreciate your taking the time. Jax MN (talk) 18:24, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
How is one chapter at Grove City any more notable than this organization? I don't think either meet WP:GNG. You mention "we have a clear set of rules"; whose rules are you talking about? Can you point me to a Wikipedia policy that supports what you're trying to do? OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:51, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
Yes, the multicultural group exists, and I'd simply forgotten about them. They have no connection to the Grove City College group. Actually there have been four groups with the name "Phi Sigma Chi" that I know of. I was assuming the high school group had been one of the earlier editors who tried to make that page, but I couldn't check because I've not bothered to become an admin here. It's possible, but unlikely that it was the multicultural group. The fourth was a short-lived local at Trine University - they have no need for a page as they renamed long ago. Earlier, I alluded that there are a few cases where a repeated name has enough instances to merit a DAB page - I've seen up to six groups with the same name. In this case, yes, we could do that. It would still require your un-SALTING the article name. A DAB for Phi Sigma Chi could offer three options: Phi Sigma Chi (sorority), Phi Sigma Chi (secondary) for the High School fraternity, and Phi Sigma Chi (fraternity) for the multicultural group. I have not seen an instance that this multicultural group is asking for a WP article, but if/when they would, I'd support it. To the names, our practice has been to denote high school fraternities with (secondary) as a modifier in the article name. For the collegiate groups we've been subjective: There are some very old, property-owning locals that have had their name solidly for a century. Typically we'd support their use of the simple article name (without modifiers) and ask for a modifier of a new group that takes the same name. However, we've argued these situations out where a relatively recent "local" and recent "national" have landed on the same name unbeknownst to each other. In the past, groups used to find out about each other when the new edition of Baird's Manual was published, often switching early in their history. Now, it takes an internet search. The Fraternity and Sorority Project tries to monitor all this for the 1,375 odd societies we follow, many of which have WP articles, and as SMEs we have always been able to work it out. Typically with a modifier within the Wikilink. If you will un-SALT this article name, I will turn it into a proper DAB. Reasonable? Oh, to your question, we teach WP:GNG and clarify application for fraternity articles as an item on our Project page. It helps new editors and delivers consistency. Jax MN (talk) 20:50, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Kim Hyun-soo (actress)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP user and IP turn registered user keep editing disruptively by changing person name from Kim Hyun-soo to Kim Hyeon-soo (was previously protected temporary due to this). Requesting semi-protection longer than 1 weeks as the after previous protection expired, the disruptive editing started immediately.

Addition optional notes: In addition to adding hanja to the lead which contradict with MOS:KO#Introductory sentence and also consistently overlinking. The new IP editing disruptively is likely the same person as before (prior to the previous protection), both the new IP and old IP points to Mongolia. While in addition, to new IP with same behavior with location pointing to Indonesia. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 07:27, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Bedoon

Reason: This page has seen a high level of IP vandalism by new users that have made fewer than 30 edits and exclusively on this subject. It is also a controversial topic that will likely draw more attempted vandalism in the future. To reduce the future risk of vandalism, I would suggest that extended confirmed protections be extended to it, although auto-confirmed permissions would likely also help reduce some of the IP vandalism.

Carole Radziwill

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This article has been receiving the attention of a couple of IP's (likely dynamic) over the past several hours. At first I believed it to be disruptive editing or vandalism, but know I have no idea what they are trying to do. Other editors and I have tried to contact the IPs on the talk pages, but have been unsuccessful in establishing a dialogue. Because the edits could be considered well-intentioned rather than sloppy vandalism, I cannot revert them anymore without violating 3RR. A day or two of Semi-protection would bring this disruptive editing to a halt without require us to whack-a-mole block this individual across a range of IPs, and still allow a dialogue to be opened and moved forward with should they choose to engage and learn.
