Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism –

  • ongoing Edit warring and disruptive editing by near single purpose auto-confirmed account/s
  • Adding unsourced content, especially population figures up to 20x sourced census figures
  • Adding un-encyclopaedic content (lists of stores)
  • total failure to discuss, despite invitation to BRD, less edit summaries like: "How dare u revert my edits, u #!!!! ." & "I didn't understand y u reverted ut.. Anywayzz, I just undid ur reverts, u know Mr. :))". 220 of Borg 19:06, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
  ! Error! This is only about the second time I've done a RFPP! I think I actually want full protection, or extended semi-protection if the disruptive editor/s likely sockpuppets, are blocked as the IPs then 'attack'. --220 of Borg 19:13, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
  Done No worries, it was all sorted out. The page has been fully protected by RegentsPark for week. Mike V • Talk 19:50, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection BLP concerns: IP-hoppers continue to change, in the lead sentence, the subject's nationality to (part) of her ethnicity. This has been going on for a few days now and is disruptive; a discussion was started on the talk page but it has been ignored, which unfortunately seems to be the standard in cases like this. Thanks. Acalamari 08:28, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

I've cleared the backlog here, but this is the one request that I can't accept or deny. :) Acalamari 17:16, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: BLP vandalism by IPs and new accounts '''tAD''' (talk) 13:11, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Long-term semi-protection: Persistent additions of unsourced material about male giants in an attempt to give equal weight to the matter. This has been going on for a long time at that article (see its talk page), which has resulted in WP:Sockpuppeting. The article needs long-term semi-protection to cull the issue and force IPs (likely WP:Sockpuppets) and newly registered editors (also possibly WP:Sockpuppets) from WP:Edit warring the unsourced/WP:Undue material in and to rather make their case at the article talk page. Temporary semi-protection (unless it is for several months, not just a couple of months) will not help. The article is not heavily edited, and the aforementioned unsourced aspect is a slow-burn type of WP:Disruptive editing. Flyer22 (talk) 12:38, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced changes/modifications not in agreement with supporting sources. Jetstreamer Talk 10:38, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

semi protection typical Bollywood release day spam from fanboy and flamer IPs-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:22, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of vandalism, along with dubious unsourced additions to a BLP by anon IP editors, and new users. The most recent (eight month) protection period, just ended 20 days ago and it has surged back up. STATic message me! 06:56, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of vandalism by anon IP editors. STATic message me! 20:33, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Various IPs (186.*, 181.*, 190.*) centered in Colombia keep adding false information to this article, specifically, they keep adding Disney content to competitor Cartoon Network's list of programs. Though other IPs edit here, unless someone has a way to block them, I think a page protection is the only way to prevent vandalism. The Colombia IPs have been operating for about 3 days now, so I am requesting 3 day protection from IPs and non-autoconfirmed users. Thanks. Addendum Since my post, IPs have attempted to vandalize twice, [1][2] so they are actively watching the page and vandalizing quickly after reversions. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:36, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

  Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GedUK  11:53, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection Disruptive editing IPs constantly add chart peaks which are not supported by the sources currently provided. Hilary Duff has new singles out which is the reason why IPs keep coming to the page to make unsourced changes.--Harout72 (talk) 16:17, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Player suurrounded by transfer rumours (transferwindow closes in two days). QED237 (talk) 15:12, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

  Question: @Qed237:, the page was semi-protected on the 19 August for three months. Given the amount of back and forth from auto-confirmed editors are you asking that the page be fully protected. Even pending changes isn't going to help there. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 15:25, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
Sorry that's not quite true. It could be pending changes requiring Reviewers. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 15:26, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
@CambridgeBayWeather:, Sorry I totally missed it was already semi-protected, a mistake from me while using twinkle to ask for RPP. I dont think it is enough for a full protection but a PC may be appropriate. QED237 (talk) 15:29, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
I've taken a better look and it does not seem as bad as I first thought. Give it a few days and if it gets worse let me know. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 15:34, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

I don't understand why this page is fully protected by admin. The title of the page itself is 'succession controversy' and if all fact/information whatever available is not presented in whatsoever manner best to Wiki rules this article is of no use/weightage. This article should help reader to decide what are the facts/information being discussed in various sources and they should be free to decide themselves. We can let this page edited in whatever best Wiki possible, such that facts/information which are best represented in all the reliable sources (including primary authenticated source( max.it can be marked for [unreliable source?], such that reader can decide themselves about the source) as relaxed at WP:WPNOTRS, let it be allowed for both the claimants primary sources to give equal opportunities to have best NPOV possible).

Raise to temporary full protection - BLP with ongoing edit warring from established users reinserting poorly sourced content from questioned references, and removing cleanup templates that direct editors to discuss at the talk page.

The other IPs seemed to be contributing respectfully too. I left a note on the [admin's talk page], but he has a busy tag.

Indef semi-protection The problem being that just about every week an IP or a new user comes and adds an anime convention that is either not on the inclusion list or does not have an article (Spamming).

Indefinite pending changes: This article has been getting a lot of attention. IP users have been adding questionable sources and making disruptive edits. There also is the issue of revdeleting the name of the next named hostage, which has been requested to be withheld by Oversight. ~Technophant (talk) 05:46, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Oppose. There has been more than enough censorship on the page already. The IPs have contributed only a few edits in the past week, all beneficial: [14][15][16][17][18][19] The last two (only), yes, presumably did offend the mysterious oversighters who apparently, though sporadically, object to providing the name, though they do not deign to explain themselves in any discussion on Wikipedia. Even so these edits referenced a full article on the subject which existed at the time under that name, and were responsibly written by any normal standard of Wikipedia. (Remember, outside of our cloud-cuckoo land, that person's spouse is giving interviews to the press!) It's crazy to have infinite Pending Changes lock-down on an article based on two reasonable IP edits from nearly a week ago. Is there any step, however small, however symbolic, however pointless, that Wikipedia will not take to show its absolute and slavish subjection to the hint that the British government doesn't want something said? Wnt (talk) 14:47, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
  Declined, All the oversighters are administrators; if it is still felt that the name needs to be witheld at this point, they can protect the article. That they haven't suggests to me that they don't feel it's necessary. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:55, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – It appears that anonymous users are continuing to add BLP-violating defamatory language related to a certain game show to this article, despite one spell of pending changes protection. I recommend extending PC to indefinite due to the seriousness of the problem, that has gone back to quite a long time. Most recent incidents: this, this, this, and that. Marianian(talk) 23:49, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Let's be clear: this isn't really about vandalism (though it has occurred) but about your decision that "BLP" means prohibiting any mention of a widely televised and reporting comic incident. As one of the vandal editors put it, "During an episode of the British game show The Chase, she was the subject of a question, and the unexpected sound of her name left both host Bradley Walsh and Chaser Anne Hegerty giggling uncontrollably.[1]" (original video: [20]) Being encyclopedic doesn't mean that we suppress information, it just means we should be responsible about it. This is, like it or not, top of the Google hits for the name, followed by a slew of reliable sources. If many of the editors have been vandals, that is probably because the person making this request has placed a hidden comment threatening editors who add the information [21] and has promised to "deal with harshly" anyone violating the censorship regime. [22] The solution here is not infinite Pending Changes, but surrender: let's have a responsible mention of the incident that notes the humorousness of the name - I'm not saying to have the full explanation of how "fanny means vagina to brits" there; a link to Wiktionary will suffice.

Temporary pending changes level 2 protection There's a slow-motion edit war occurring on this article over disputed content. One of the parties initially engaged in the article Talk page, but has declined to do so over the last couple of months. Pending Changes Level 2 protection will help enforce good behavior. Protection through the first week of November would, I think, be sufficient. Thank you.CFredkin (talk) 16:00, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

  Declined There is no community consensus to use pending changes level 2, so I can't implement it. The article doesn't have a severe enough edit war to protect the article. I would recommend that you talk to the users involved and have them hash it out on the talk page. Mike V • Talk 00:17, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Affected articles include GeForce 400 series, GeForce 500 series, GeForce 600 series, GeForce 700 series, GeForce 800M series, GeForce 900 series and EverQuest. Indefinite semi-protection is sought because 1) following the most recent temporary measures, the IP taunted editors, stating his intention to resume his actions as soon as the temporary measures had expired (see this diff); and 2) indeed within minutes of expiration of the most recent temporary semi-protection, the editor resumed his edits, e.g. here and here.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Various Vietnam IPs (123*, 113*, 14*, 117* and so on) keep hitting this article and inserting BS content. Their typical behavior is to submit hoax content about a proposed 2015 Beauty and the Beast animated series, but they also like to resubmit content like this where they submit unsourced trivia like the various Disney silhouettes that appear in a title, and then hide a bunch of garbage in the middle of the content, for instance, by changing the name of the character Chip Potts to Chip Potts Cup. And Mrs. Potts becomes Mrs. Potts Tea. I can't remember what they usually call Lumiere, but it's something stupid like "light stick". Anyhow, their edits are prolific and persistent, typically impacting numerous Disney-related articles and templates.

Indefinite semi-protection The article was temporary semi-protected many times. After the semi-protections; edit-warrings, content deletions, sock-puppetry and vandalisms were finished and editors made much more constructive edits. Because most of these activities were done by various IPs. You can look there and compare before protection-after protection edits. There are two reasons of these persistent vandalisms: 1.Their religion/faith is misunderstood and fanatic Islamic users make disruptive edits in order to call them "devil-worshippers", "deviants", "satanists". 2. Their ethnicity is disputed and nationalist users delete other theories in order to call them only "Kurds", "Arabs", etc. Unfortunately, all these things occur over and over again when the page is unprotected and today the page's protection level is going to change as "unprotected". For these reasons, I request indefinite semi-protection, since it works. 149.140.84.210 (talk) 05:31, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Requesting long-term protection (maybe 3 months?) on this article from IPs and non-autoconfirmed users. Numerous obscure Disney-related articles (that is, ones that don't receive a lot of scrutiny or attention) have been subject to persistent vandalism from Vietnam-based IPs who intend to insert unsourced and questionable content. Often it pertains to a hoax about an alleged 2015 Beauty and the Beast animated series, but typically it does not and the edits are simply disruptive. Here are some of the relevant reverts I've performed, which also illustrates the pages affected. I am recommending a 3 month protection, since the vandal(s) has been active for about 3 months.

It doesn't appear Chess asked either me or Xaosflux about this, or participated in previous discussions. I could have explained that semi-protection hadn't been effective, as these articles have been targeted by people savvy enough to use sockpuppet and single-purpose accounts that have been autoconfirmed. The issue was discussed at ANI here and a number of people supported pending revisions to deal with the particular problems at these pages. It was further explained on the talk page here. Even disregarding the ANI discussion, the articles required protection, and the only other conventional solution would have been full protection. This is an unusual solution to an unusual problem, which hasn't gone away, by the way. The solution is also *temporary* as Xaos says.--Cúchullain t/c 15:56, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: There is a lot of edit warring going on around the main image. A discussion is in process, but this is not stopping the warring.

There is no proof that is the case again here, but the activity is highly suspicious. - SchroCat (talk) 13:13, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Please could someone action this?

Temporary full protection: I'm not sure about this one, so I hope the approving/declining administrator can provide some feedback on this. It seems that there have been a series of edits from one autoconfirmed user trying to put information regarding this topic also being named "Shellshocker" into the article, and then other autoconfirmed editors removing that information. From what I see on the talk page, there has not been any discussion on this page to include that name. (Other than the move request currently in progress to move the article to the "Shellshocker" name ... which currently has several opposes, there seems to be nothing else regarding the name on the talk page.) I mean if it does need to given full protection, I couldn't see it needing it for more than a day or two at max, just until the edits calm down or consensus is formed to add that information to the article.

Retort : Sarbajit Roy is clearly a very important and notable Indian person with very well sourced article.

Now this other editor Voceditenore is saying Sarbajit Roy has nothing to do with India Against Corruption despite several reliable sources cited clearly saying he is National Convenor of India Against Corruption.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Getting tired of listing this article. Ongoing sock puppetry issue. Page has had escalating protection which somehow was reduced from December to yesterday. Every time protection ends, vandal returns with new sock puppet within hours. This needs to be taken more seriously as It is wasting hours of user and admin time. . SephyTheThird (talk) 05:38, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Page has since been protected for a month, however I don't believe this will prove a deterrent. Nothing else has so far, the issue has been going on too long even with protection.SephyTheThird (talk) 06:33, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Some form a of protection. Someone keep's making the first line of this article a link to an article about the need for medical reimbursement reform for surgical staff. First it was a NYT article then it was a link to GAO article. Actually they snuck the GAO article in there at multiple location trying to get people to click on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.151.120.4 (talk) 18:43, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – Has been deleted three times; repeatedly recreated. Boleyn (talk) 18:42, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

  Declined While it has been recreated 3 times, the article was deleted this year, in 2008, and in 2005 through 2 AfDs and a speedy deletion. Personally, I prefer to reserve creation protection for articles that show a more recent and frequent level of recreation, at which point it starts to become more of a disruptive effort than a genuine attempt to create an article.
