A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Apparent followers of the subject disrupting this page. Editorkamran (talk) 18:10, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. But feel free to re-report if it gets worse. GoodnightmushTalk 21:24, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

ZALA Lancet

Reason: Frequent unsourced changes by IPs. BilletsMauves€500 19:28, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. GoodnightmushTalk 21:25, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

List of Macedonian Bulgarians

Reason: Apparently the editors who were disrupting Macedonian Bulgarians are now targeting this page.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:40, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected Courcelles (talk) 19:46, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. 1keyhole (talk) 20:16, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. GoodnightmushTalk 21:27, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Marcus Johansson (ice hockey, born 1990)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by an IP, IP's already been submitted for a block request but figure it may also be worth temporary protection The Kip (talk) 20:59, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. GoodnightmushTalk 21:31, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Erythritol

Temporary semi-protection: Numerous IP editors are adding primary research in headline news, and ignoring edit history and talk page discussion explaining why the content is premature. The source is not a WP:MEDRS review for such safety information. Zefr (talk) 21:55, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

American Idol (season 21)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing from several IP users; adding viewers to a recent episode...despite no reliable source being out yet. BrickMaster02 (talk) 16:47, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 03:37, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Iranian underground missile bases

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Still a lot of the same disruption by different IPs from what seems to be the same range. The range seems to be used by a lot of different people, so making a report would be problematic, hence why I think protection is better. HistoryofIran (talk) 20:59, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 03:42, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Lufkin, Texas

Pending changes: Persistent vandalism – IP vandalism. Iamreallygoodatcheckers talk 21:00, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Head of the Donetsk People's Republic

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Per general sanctions on the RU/UKR war, this should have protection on it. HappyWith (talk) 19:04, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Don't see much evidence of recent disruption, either. Daniel Case (talk) 03:39, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Libs of TikTok

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Constant repetition of “not far right” arguments from IPs and new users; normal action like FAQ adding and removing/suppressing disruptive comments isn’t stopping it. Dronebogus (talk) 22:33, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It hasn't been protected before; I'd prefer not to go indef but, yeah, a good long term is a good idea. Daniel Case (talk) 03:54, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Queerplatonic relationship

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Edits to this page in the past week have consisted of unconstructive edits attempting to remove categories and edit sources on the page, as well as adding unsourced material that directly contradicts sourced material on the page.

Currently, the talk page is devoted to resolving contention over category placement; it would be best to protect the page to prevent further disruption until the topic is resolved. Panian513 00:26, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Declined For now, disruption isn't that great, so protection isn't needed imho. Discussion on the talk-page should continue, some more people to have a look at it would be nice; consensus would be more reliable then. Lectonar (talk)

Simran (actress)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Socks of Eswaran Naveen have been more active on the article recently. Ravensfire (talk) 04:33, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Note: Waiting on SPI confirmation to protect. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 12:58, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@Isabelle Belato, please see [1] for confirmation. Thanks! Ravensfire (talk) 06:41, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 10:06, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Alvin Ailey

Reason: Disruptive editing (WP:BLP / WP:GENSEX) by various IPs, e.g. [2], [3], [4], [5] etc. Beccaynr (talk) 00:00, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Already protected by administrator Ohnoitsjamie. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:39, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Tapir

Reason: Persistent vandalism. Partofthemachine (talk) 06:54, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Continued disruption by his apparent followers. This request was rejected some hours ago but with the note that request can be made again if disruption resumed.[6]. Editorkamran (talk) 04:00, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Note: The disruptive editor has been warned. He disruption continues, they might need blocking. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:45, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:45, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Pantaleon Alvarez

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Constant vandalism due to users disagreeing with controversial issues listed in article. Tantomile (talk) 07:23, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Lectonar (talk) 09:52, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Example Article Name

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because ....... . Billet1684 (talk) 05:16, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

This page needs to be unlocked as per current UK law According to a 1917 law from King George V -- also known as the George V Convention or 1917 Letters Patent -- the children of a Sovereign and the children of a Sovereign's sons are entitled to HRH style titles and the distinction of a Prince or Princess prefix to their name. Per law in the United Kingdom, both Archie and Lilibet are entitled to use the title as prince in princess. The only titled are not entitled to use is HRH or his/her Royal Highness as they are not working Royals. The person who keeps editing this page and locking it and removing prints by the name of Dr. Kay is 100% wrong and should absolutely be restricted from editing Wikipedia Asher information is incorrect and not valid.

Comment: And what article would this be about? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 06:43, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Declined Article not specified. Lectonar (talk) 09:29, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

List of right-wing terrorist attacks

Reason: High level of IP user activity including the addition of unsourced and/or unverified, borderline-OR material. Love of Corey (talk) 04:20, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Note: Someone else should double check, but it looks like SP would cause collateral damage. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:46, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. Lectonar (talk) 10:25, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Sana Khan

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The article has been vandalised by IP users since the subject's marriage. There are many edits involving removing her infobox image which has been repeated multiple times over the time. Rejoy2003(talk) 05:54, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Note: Already pending changes. Seems to be working? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:48, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Exactly....pending-changes working as intended. Waves back at Deepfriedokra. Lectonar (talk) 10:02, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Darkest Hour (film)

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – There are recent levels of vandalism from IP users on this page. I think that this page should be Pending Changes protected in order to give the readers accurate information. It will also protect the page from vandalism and other disruptive edits. Protecting this page will also stop future vandals. DDMS123 (talk) 07:23, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Main disruption in the last days was the same IP; pages aren't protected preemptively. Lectonar (talk) 09:52, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Waves at Lectonar, who snuck in ahead of me. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:54, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Note: Let's see if partial blocking the disruptive user for two weeks does the job. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:53, 1 March 2023 (UTC): User(s) blocked. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:53, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Ricardo_S._Martinez

I beleive the judge may be being harassed by the person who keeps listing negative and made up information. 149.101.180.120 (talk) 22:09, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

I was actually debating requesting protection earlier, but decided against it since all the edits in question are from one user who has since been indefinitely blocked, not counting UtherSRG's (understandable) knee-jerk revert of its removal earlier today. Any request for protection would be rejected on that basis alone unless and until a new account starts it back up again. —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 23:47, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
Declined Procedural. Lectonar (talk) 10:36, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Kiwi Farms

Make it clear that much of the information on this website is defamatory and can't be trusted because it's a cyberbullying website.

Jakesterns (talk) 04:37, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Not done – The article already makes that abundantly clear. Favonian (talk) 10:25, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

In the first paragraph of "Public image" the third sentence begins "He later created the fitness appCentr". Change "appCentr" to "app Centr". SwedishShrimp (talk) 14:38, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Done Thanks for pointing this out! Courcelles (talk) 14:42, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

ChatGPT

Under the "Accusations of bias" heading, change "in t he future" to "in the future". Wasestupilha (talk) 17:15, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Done Thank you for pointing it out! —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 17:21, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

It's Only Love

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – A new editor continues to add non-notable and uncited information despite numerous warnings. A break would be helpful. freshacconci (✉) 13:24, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Declined As it is only one user, protection isn't the way to go here. The user has already been warned, so report them to an appropriate noticeboard. Lectonar (talk) 13:30, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent IP vandalism - again. Lard Almighty (talk) 16:16, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Courcelles (talk) 16:39, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Atomic Heart (video game)

I would like to request that this edit gets reverted:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1141925888

Original statements were well referenced (ars technica, mainstream Russian media).

I believe the editor who removed this section has a vested interest in obfuscating the game's links to Russia.

Would you be in a position to do this?. Joshua the cat (talk) 12:53, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Declined Please use the article talk-page to make that request; the article is fully protected to further discussion on different topics. Lectonar (talk) 12:59, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Edit from JtC – I tried broaching it with the administrator who locked the page and they directed me here

Yes...but see above: "Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here....unless the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request". They aren't, so the request on the article talk-page is the right thing to do. Wikipedia is a difficult place to navigate even for veterans. Lectonar (talk) 13:53, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Chip Cravaack

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 16:06, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

The Cuphead Show!

Temporary pending changes protection: Long-term addition of cruft by multiple different v6 IPs with some useful IP edits in between. Ranges are too big to block without collateral damage ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:27, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Let's try this first. Daniel Case (talk) 20:30, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

T.O.T.S.

Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Persistent addition of unsourced date (or not verified by the source given). This has been ongoing by this largely Detroit-based series of IPs since June 2022 and pending changes was temporarily added in October for this exact ongoing reason. The issue resumed once PC expired, and the IP has not used the talk page in any capacity. Aoidh (talk) 19:21, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected., with three days of semi-protection to start, like last time. Daniel Case (talk) 20:34, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Bluey (2018 TV series)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. SatDis (talk) 21:48, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Declined. Seems to have had one instance of disruption today, one IP on the 24th, with disruption relatively spaced out. A lot of the reverts are due to content disputes instead of actual vandalism. Sdrqaz (talk) 21:58, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Perdizes (district of São Paulo)

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because the page is protected since 2013 and has no longer active edits. 109.12.6.224 (talk) 18:40, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Not done simply because that is a nonsensical reason to unprotect. Other avenues exist to make edits for IPs, including requesting at the talk page, or Request for Edit. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 19:43, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Noah

Reason: Persistent disruption, mostly by IPs. StephenMacky1 (talk) 21:16, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

I've taken out language that was only inserted a week ago, as it seemed unnecessary and went against much of what the long-standing versions of the article said. Let's see how that goes. Sdrqaz (talk) 21:58, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
I thought that the content felt wrong. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:09, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Continues to be a harassment target from some LTA, not exactly sure why considering the target hasn't been very active. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 23:00, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Already protected by administrator Ponyo. MelanieN (talk) 02:56, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Increase your chances

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Being targeted by IP socks of Belteshazzar again. I suggest a fairly long period of semi-protection. DanielRigal (talk) 23:30, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 04:08, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

XERC-AM

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism occurred within 24 hours of removal of semi. I suspect an LTA tied to the 2806:262:482:85e1::/64 blocked IPv6 range — the overlap of radio interests and articles like Federal Republic of Central America is a telltale. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:48, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 04:12, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Michael Beale (football coach)

Reason: Page has a lot of nuisance and disruptive editing, similar to Graham Potter's. Potter's page was locked for 2 months, to me, that is simply problem resolved. PeachyBum07 (talk) 01:25, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 04:17, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

2023 NRL season

Reason: There seems to be an edit war between unregistered users. No edit summaries, no talk page engagement of the parties. I personally don't edit the article myself and dont know what it is all about but it looks like it's getting out of hand. Calistemon (talk) 03:32, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:COVID-19 lab leak theory

Reason: Repeat of previous denied request as IP issues have continued since the original request. In response to recent reports from the US intel community, the talk page has seen increased IP disruption. This includes sarcastic WP:POINTy comments, like [13] and [14], through to outright accusations of racism like [15] and [16]. While Talk protection is rare, I'm requesting a temporary semi-protection or similar of the page to limit the disruption on what's already a difficult and contentious area of editing, until the topic of the day moves on. Bakkster Man (talk) 22:59, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. There are very few edits from IPs, and more of them constructive are than problematic, at least recently. (The page is being very, very heavily edited.) MelanieN (talk) 02:55, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

James Plaskett

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Being targeted by IP socks of Belteshazzar again. I suggest a fairly long period of semi-protection. DanielRigal (talk) 23:31, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 04:08, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Template:Contents pages (footer box)/doc

Unprotection: /doc pages should not be protected. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:08, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

  • That's not a valid reason to unprotect, that is an opinion. Template doc pages can be vandalised or edit warred upon, etc just like any page. There is no policy that I'm aware of that says they "should not be protected", which is your rationale. Want to take another stab as to why? Dennis Brown - 2¢ 02:51, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
    It's currently template-protected, which, per Wikipedia:Protection policy#Template protection should be used almost exclusively on high-risk templates and modules, and this is none of those things (it's a /doc page, and only transcluded in one place). At the time it was protected in 2019, a temporary semi-protection may well have been warranted based on the history, but that protection, were it done properly, would have expired ages ago (since we don't generally indefinitely protect pages unless temporary protections fail to stop the problem), and since all of the disruptive edits in the history were by non-autoconfirmed users no period of any higher protection level was necessary. Looking back, I do agree that the initial request was terser and less detailed than it should have been, probably because I subconsiously assumed that the responding admin would be familiar with template namespace conventions. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:55, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
    Unprotected here, Sdrqaz (talk) 04:59, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Pop-Tarts

Reason: Article was semi-protected indefinitely in 31 Aug 2011 after a long chain of IP vandalism here. Fast forward to today however, I feel we should open up the gates to IP editors once again, given how quiet and calm things look in the history of the article now.

Kww was de-adminshipped and doesn't seem very active anymore, hence posting request here. AP 499D25 (talk) 08:25, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Somewhat Done I have lowered to pending-changes protection, as I somehow think the quiet in the article history is due to the protection of the article. Lectonar (talk) 08:56, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

That isn't a compelling argument for unprotection in the slightest. A better one would be arguing that the protection - which is the first one in the log - is indefinite in duration.

Reason: I already applied for page protection, but it sadly got declined - and the vandals have just striked again afterwards. Same IP ranges as always (89* and 79*), same content vandalized. Quite unfortunate that one does have to steadily keep track on a handful of pages just because of those.

Hue

Reason: Can this be semi-protected? A sequence of IP editors (I am guessing a single person with an unstable IP address) keep restoring a large graphical table of colors which is original research not supported by reliable sources and is also out of scope for the article. They refuse to engage on the talk page or attempt any community consensus, instead revert warring and throwing insults into their edit summaries. jacobolus (t) 23:39, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Temporary semi-protection due to another uptick in vandalism. The edits always pertain to the PTI party in Pakistan, made by several anonymous IP editors or new, throwaway accounts.

Dear 2A01:4C8:49:B2A2:D40A:8FF:FE9A:A7CA, Sockpuppetry and using unreliable sources in any added quotes are two different things. You can't removing any material from Wikipedia to give a reason that, this contribution was made by sockpuppetry account, you should have a proper reson to prove that cited quotes and their references are wrong or unreliable. But as you repeatedly reverting on Over-the-top media services in India without any consensus on talk page, and it's not the first time, you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. 2409:4089:AB01:DC23:2BB9:F8FB:EF84:CCE6 (talk) 12:36, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Comment: Instead of protecting these pages, why not an edit filter for something like this? I think that might be necessary because this isn't limited to specific pages. Just my two cents! Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:54, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
Has a Checkuser been run on these accounts? This seems like a single vandal. —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 21:04, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
I don't know. Even if it is a single vandal they've been quite persistent if you look at the furry related convention articles. And they are able to subvert account creation blocks to so I've proposed and edit filter here if anyone has comments, please discuss at Wikipedia:Edit filter/Requested/Archive_21#Furry convention page vandalism.
I think this might be a better solution than indef extended confirmed protection. Obviously, the filter would need to be a little more robust than I've proposed. Philipnelson99 (talk) 21:12, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
Agreed; in no circumstance do I see ECP being an immediate answer. If they are the same guy, semi would work (takes time to get new sleepers up and running, and it'd give CU a licence to check further socks for more sleepers). If they're not, the filter would work much better. —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 21:15, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
I agree semi would work, but also this looks like it's gone on for several months so this vandal seems quite determined. Philipnelson99 (talk) 21:21, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
You'd have thought so. It's probably an LTA using a wide variety of open proxies and with some sleepers to burn. They probably even requested EC protection themselves. That's enough to put me off extending protection. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:15, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
wow, good catch. I know earlier, I saw somewhat older accounts being used earlier today. And it looks like this has been going on for some time! Not sure what the solution is here. Philipnelson99 (talk) 21:18, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
The solution's most likely a combination of the edit filter, CU (to identify open proxies to block all editing from, registered or otherwise), and blocking with autoblock enabled (to burn open proxies for a while). This is a situation where the only proportionate responce is to hit hard and hit everything. This is basically a calmer Nate Speed at worst. —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 21:24, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
I've commented on the edit filter request, but I may as well say this here: furry hate is not new to this encyclopedia. Even if right now it's just this one vandal, there will be others in the future. Jalen Folf (talk) 21:35, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Jon Brower Minnoch

Increase from pending changes protection to indefinite semi-protection; vandalism. Scroll through the most recent several hundred edits and you'll see that pretty much every change is either by an anonymous person or by another editor, usually a pending changes reviewer, undoing that anonymous person's change as vandalism. Minnoch, who was the heaviest person ever to live, is a constant target by kids inserting real peoples' names (schoolmates, their teachers, etc.) as vicious weight-based insults. It's practically already semiprotected since anonymous edits always get undone; making it official will just automate what reviewers are doing manually. CityOfSilver 18:12, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Ja'far al-Sadiq

Semiprotection for at least a year; slow-burning but consistent insertion of hateful errors. Ja'far al-Sadiq was one of the founding members of the Twelver sect, a group whose adherents number well over 100 million worldwide, of Shi'a Islam. By no honest definition was he a Sunni Muslim. Since roughly last August, anonymous editors have regularly targeted words like "Twelver" and "Shi'a," changing them to "Sunni" or just removing them altogether. This insertion of deliberate errors borne out of sect- or faith-based hatred got al-Sadiq put under pending changes protection by User:DatGuy a month ago. Since then, this article has gotten 11 anonymous edits. Of those, ten got quickly reverted because of the same stuff from before, one was an apparently good-faith change that still harmed part of the article's Arabic script, and zero were actually kept. If I'm being premature on this, so be it but to my mind, pretty much every anonymous edit over the last seven months shows semiprotection will just automate what PC1 reviewers are now doing by hand.

Reason: Continuous disruptive edits by IP users and other newly created accounts. They keep on doing edits without putting a reliable reference to support their claims so other users keep on undoing these disruptive edits/vandalism. May I ask if a protection can be increased for this page since they keep on coming back each and every time the protection for this page expires. This page had been protected twice but every time the protection expires, these newly created accounts or these IP users keep on coming back and doing unreferenced edits. Good day.

Allow only auto confirmed editors extended confirmed users Persistent disruptive editing – Newly created acounts of some users are reverting other editors' edits and they are re adding lots of unsourced information.

Please link to a section directly (though WP:DIFFs are preferred) rather than to an entire talk page, leaving us to find the exact thing you're referring to; 3. That user is already autoconfirmed, so protecting it at the requested level would have no effect. Thanks. El_C 14:50, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

He's been reverting other editors' edits without any explanation again and again. And that's what he is referring to in his speech. He's been warned multiple times by different editors now. I hope he doesn't commit such actions further. --Haoreima (talk) 18:20, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Ymblanter, you can also use {{subst:RFPP|ar}}, which displays like this:  Requesting immediate archiving... El_C 17:42, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Cameron Smith (rugby league, born 1983)

Reason: Repeated possible BLP violations at Cameron Smith (rugby league, born 1983). Various IPs have been adding an {{About}} template to Adolf Hitler for the past month or so without any attempt to explain why. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to WP:BLUELOCK the page to stop the disruption. It's not clear if it's just a single IP hopper a group of people who are doing this, but it's unlikely going to be stopped with just user warnings. -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:58, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Sai (weapon)

Please correct references to Sai as sharp weapons, per the revision made 02:08, 21 February 2023. The description of "Sai" as sharp-edged dagger weapons is incorrect and not in accordance with the visual evidence on the page or crossreferenced articles. The image of a "sharp sai" is a 3d rendered image and inaccurately furthers this problem, as the other "antique sai" images will attest.

Indefinite semi-protection: BLP policy violations – This article is the target of sporadic but neverending POV pushing, vandalism and BLP violations from Chelsea FC fans who still haven't got over an incident from a Champions League semi-final 14 years ago. I realise the article is currently in "not enough recent activity" territory but this has gone on for many years and most of these edits come from IPs / new users, with few non-disruptive edits in between, so I am proposing indefinite semi-protection. Too involved to make the call myself. Thanks for consideration. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 09:28, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

If not semi-protection then I suggest at least turning pending changes on - it's happened a couple of times, most recently yesterday, that I've gone to read this article independently of my watchlist and there's been some blatant POV in it that's gone unnoticed. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 09:33, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Press releases

Unprotection: Protection is no longer required to prevent disruption (see WP:PREEMPTIVE). Even though there are very few reasons to edit a historical page, that is not a reason listed in WP:PP for protection (and there have been a few edit requests). There has been no response from protecting admin. HouseBlastertalk 17:20, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

@HouseBlaster: It wasn't protected due to disruption, it was protected, apparently, because it's an historical page. But you're right, WP:PP doesn't mention anything about it. @Zanimum: you protected it, what do you think? ~Anachronist (talk) 19:26, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
My apologies, I should have been more clear: protection is not required to prevent disruption because it was never required to prevent disruption. Therefore, I believe it should be unprotected because, from WP:PP, "pages are protected when a specific damaging event has been identified that can not be prevented through other means such as a block. Otherwise, Wikipedia is built on the principle that anyone can edit it, and it therefore aims to have as many of its pages as possible open for public editing so that anyone can add material and correct errors." (emphasis mine). HouseBlastertalk 20:27, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
This is the case for articles more than Wikipedia space, historical articles. The problem is that few people watch these pages, so vandalism can go unnoticed. To me, it's a balance of what is needed to accomodate free editing, but this is a page that isn't likely to be edited, and generally, we don't want it to be edited because it is a historical page on press releases. Since edits can be requested otherwise, I wouldn't unprotect, personally. "As many as possible" would seem to indicate that some won't be unprotected, according to risk, and risk isn't just about recent vandalism. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 10:50, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
Respectfully, I would argue that if no vandalism (or disruptive editing of any kind) ever occurred before it was protected, protecting because “few people watch these pages, so vandalism can go unnoticed” is textbook WP:PREEMPTIVE protection. The fact that edit requests exist is no reason to leave a page protected: that logic could apply to any and every page. HouseBlastertalk 00:06, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
WP:PREEMPTIVE isn't an inviolate hard rule. The argument given by Dennis Brown suggests that, rather than unprotecting the page, the policy needs an update to cover exception cases of historical pages that should not be edited, or at least say something about risk balance. I, too, don't feel comfortable about unprotecting historical pages that aren't being watched. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:34, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
Unprotected The page has 31 watchers, and has never been vandalized prior to being indef protected 12 years ago. While I can't imagine many legit reasons that anyone would ever need to edit this page, I also don't see why this page would be considered so unusually important that it should deserve an exception to the normal protection policies. I mean, it's just an index page of old press releases. It's not even the press releases themselves; it's a glorified table of contents. The potential damage that could be caused here by the miniscule risk of vandalism is near-zero. With 31 watchers, I don't think that this page would be at any significant risk if it were unprotected. Simply being marked as historical is not a sufficient justification for protection. I don't see any problem with unprotecting this page. Feel free to revert if you believe there is a policy-based reason to indefinitely protect this page. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 04:51, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Edit summaries like this make me want to take you to Arbitration Enforcement to be sanctioned under WP:ARBEE. —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 18:38, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. There's a few different issues here: first, is that even if we were to 100% agree with your description of the state of the article in this request, page-protection is not a solution here, as that would keep everyone under a certain number of edits from editing the article (which, if it is going to affect WikiEditor1234567123, would necessarily affect you as well). Page protection is typically only appropriate for pages that are either a) being targeted disruptively by lots of brand new accounts or IPs or b) in an absolute state of chaos between multiple editors. Neither of those apply here, and it seems like the administrator intervention that you actually are seeking is sanctions against WikiEditor1234567123, not page-protection (although I recognize that an editor gave you incorrect advice at ANI due to misinterpreting your request for "protection", so this isn't quite your fault).
The second issue is that, as pointed out by Jéské above, your behavior at the page in question seems much worse than WikiEditor's, and will lead to sanctions against you if continued. The diffs and pages you have provided as evidence here and at ANI are not a sufficient case for sanctions against WikiEditor, and if you had been aware of the contentious topics rules (which apply for ethnic groups of the Northern Caucausus as part of WP:ARBEE) prior to the edits you made at Vladikavkaz, you would be facing a block or topic ban right now. So, take this as a warning to shape up and make sure you are always following Wikipedia's policies and guideline when engaging in contentious topics. signed, Rosguill talk 18:52, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Reason: The last 50 edits are almost all vandalism/reversions, with all of them coming from IPs. I think upping from Pending changes protection to semi protection would be better. Vandalism happens roughly every couple weeks or more. Soni (talk) 08:51, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Pending-changes protectection working as intended...remember the reverted versions do not go live. Disruption not heavy enough for the article to warrant semi-protection. Lectonar (talk) 09:13, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Prim
  • Understood, thanks. @Lectonar: do you have a rule of thumb/something to explain when you'd warrant semi protection for an article like this? (IP Only vandalism at the Pending-protection level. I reckon the protection should stop "working as intended" at a certain level of vandalism, I just don't know what that level would be. There might be more concrete policy at what is called "heavy disruption" but I cant find it. Soni (talk) 09:40, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
@Soni: Well, let me just quote a bit of policy: "Articles subject to heavy and continued vandalism can be semi-protected. There are no explicit rules that determine the level of vandalism that is necessary to trigger semi-protection. Administrators should use their best judgment to determine if semi-protection is warranted." So it's really a bit within admin's discretion when to implement it; I would be less than candid not to mention that I prefer to solve disruption problems without resorting to protection. An example article that has been semi-protecteded is Indigenous peoples: we had different IPs and freshly made accounts disrupting the article in rather short spans of time, and it was subsequently protected. Keep in mind that rotecting an article should be the very rare exception, not the rule. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that everyone can edit, after all. Lectonar (talk) 09:56, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Michael Pocalyko

My suggestion would be to include a subheading with the language "Accusations Of Involvement In The Suicide Of Eden Knight", with the text included having language along the lines of

"Eden Knight, in a suicide note released publicly on twitter accused Pocalyko of being one of the parties involved in coercing her to return to her family Saudi Arabia which she claimed lead to the conditions that resulted in her suicide". The Twitlonger which contains her suicide note should be an adequate primary source for the claim by Wikipedia standards.

Besides publishing 'The Navigator' and their accused involvement with the Eden's death the subject of the page is not particularly notable, there has been at least one case where editors have discussed weather it would be better to consolidate the page with the one for 'The Navigator'. While it was decided that consolidation of the two pages was unnecessary I think if Wikipedia refuses to acknowledge the accusation and outcry surrounding it, which are undeniably significant events, at lest in respect to the subject of the page it is failing to be encyclopedic. 122.107.236.88 (talk) 15:27, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Geoff, this is the first time this page has been protected (also a page of relatively low activity, I note), so an indef duration isn't a realistic outcome. Though, it being a DAB page, makes more severe protection actions than normal more palatable, which I have therefore done. El_C 22:06, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
@El C: Thanks and I concur with your call on this one. I was a bit flabbergasted by the hijacking, and perhaps I over-reacted in making my request. All is well. Geoff | Who, me? 22:28, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
No worries, Geoff. Again, because it is a DAB page, erring on the side of severity is not that big of a deal. Regards, El_C 22:35, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Center for the Study of Science Fiction

Reason: A former director keeps making accusations about the administration of the Center, falsely alleging a “takeover” and using the page to advertise his new venture. I have tried to make neutral edits that neither erase his contributions to the center nor accede to his allegations (though his need to claim anointing by the founding director goes against neutrality in my view, and his new venture is not part of the center). These accusations of “takeover” are unfounded and at least one is (Redacted). This page should be locked so that only Center staff (I am not one) can edit this page. I have tried to make neutral fixes (and in one case erroneously hyper corrected), but a voice that is taking everything very personally keeps changing to a false view of circumstances. If I were you, I would contact current director (Redacted) and ensure that whoever retains editing control fixes the false allegations and has the page locked to prevent further errors. Thank you. KeeperOfSeals (talk) 03:16, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

@KeeperOfSeals: That is totally not how it works. You can't lock a page so that only the subject can edit it, because: A. Its not technically possible; and B.

Article nominated for deletion due to failing WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 03:47, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
User(s) blocked. I have blocked both KeeperOfSeals and 2600:1700:5AC1:4C30:0:0:0:0/64 from editing the page indefinitely because we do not know yet what the outcome of the AfD will be. I am not foreseeing a keep, as while the article has an adundance of sources many of them are from the center itself, UK, or the Lawrence newspapers—nothing that, it would seem, establishes broad notability within the field of science fiction as a whole.

But certainly I could be wrong and someone could find and add sources. That would be much easier to do if the page were not being edit-warred over. If I semi'ed the page, it would basically give Keeper the upper hand at a time when the article's very future is in doubt, and given that Keeper's last edit forced the use of oversight on this very page (as well as making an impossible protection request), I do not feel that this sort of deference is merited right now. With a partial block on both, they can discuss their issues on the talk page or at the AfD without edit warring.

The protection will be a fairly short "indefinite" if the AfD is closed as delete, and thus the issues behind it won't matter. If the article is improved and kept, I would have no objection to the partial blocks being lifted should Keeper and the IP resolve their differences. Daniel Case (talk) 19:21, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Declined I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that pages outside of the article namespace are not included in the list of pages that can be pre-emptively protected because they are part of a contentious topic. Besides, AfDs are not usually protected unless they are being heavily disrupted, which isn't happening in this case. The administrator that eventually closes the AfD should be able to easily weed out any SPA votes or whatever other shenanigans occur during the discussion. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 23:35, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Increase protection to at least autoconfirmed (indef) and maybe even Extended Confirmed from pending changes protection because of persistent vandalism from both registered accounts and IP addresses.

Amritpal Singh (activist)

Reason: The current Amritpal Singh article should be revised because it presents a one-sided and potentially biased view of the subject. The article primarily focuses on allegations against Amritpal Singh without providing a balanced perspective on his work as a Sikh rights activist and his efforts to combat drug abuse in Punjab. Updating the article with accurate and verifiable information about his positive contributions to society will create a more balanced and fair representation of Sandhu's life and work. 2601:85:C200:33B0:3C2E:3C:196A:7680 (talk) 02:12, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Amritpal Singh (activist)

In the summary, please change "He has been reported to have close links to Pakistan's ISI ..." to "According to Indian agencies, he has been reported ..."

Similarly please change the following sentence, "He has also been reported to have been raising his own army and 'human bomb squads' to "According to unverified reports by Indian media, he has been reported ..."

The best thing would be to delete these claims from the biography, as these are tall claims without verification in a court of law, and Wikipedia readers should not be subject to them. According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography, "Well-publicized recent events affecting a subject, whether controversial or not, should be kept in historical perspective. What is most recent is not necessarily what is most noteworthy: new information should be carefully balanced against old, with due weight accorded to each."

Note: I was unaware there were two other related pages when I wrote the above, requests which I've now merged into this one I first encountered. El_C 19:46, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
Could also be classified as "persistent addition of unsourced material". The release date being forcefully inserted is demonstrably false. Please see this discussion. IceWelder [✉] 20:13, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
IceWelder, vandalism (i.e. defacement) and adding poorly-sourced content are not equivalent, so please be more precise with your reasoning next time. Also, I'd likely never would have found out about that central discussion, so please keep in mind that neither admins nor those IP/s are omniscient in that sense.

Next Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election

Reason: Ip editors have targeted the page twice in the same manner by lifting up the content belonging to a previous election and added it to the next election page. The act was performed maliciously since they added the citations belonging to the previous elections and editors are expecting them to be good faith edits but after the verification off the citations they belong to a diff page in no relation to this page. 456legend(talk) 08:09, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

I was adding an editnotice to the page as this was happening. @Scottywong: may I suggest decreasing the protection length, per WP:ATPROT? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:41, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
@Ivanvector: I chose that length because the page had already been protected once in the recent past, and because virtually none of the recent IP edits to the page were legitimate. It seems to be a very attractive target for vandals, for whatever reason. However, if you believe that a shorter protection length is more applicable to this page, I won't be angry if you modify the protection. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 17:16, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

What would the full protection be for? Full protection means that only administrators can edit it. For persistent IP vandalism, semi-protection is enough. Full protection is way too overkill. Pretty sure it will be denied almost immediately once an admin actually reads this. And, as Lectonar said, read the protection policy. BenzoAid (talk) 11:24, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Reason: WP:GS/RUSUKR Offensive Guard is a project of Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs with the aim to form new assault brigades in the structure of National Guard, National Police and Border Guards.

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. @Courcelles: courtesy ping. El_C 15:24, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
Yeah, this is one I likely would protect. The article was actually created last month, it existed for almost two decades as a redirect to a football term, so the history is a bit misleading, and as it now exists is pretty much entirely within the topic of the war. Courcelles (talk) 17:30, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
Well, if the OP is to continue relisting until they get lucky with you, as opposed to unlucky with me, or unlucky with Scottywong earlier today (diff) — well, that is not an ideal situation, and is in fact quite unambiguously admin shopping. El_C 17:52, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
I've got to confess that annoys me a little to so blatantly see three attempts to get a different answer. This is not good, Uwdwadafsainainawinfi. At all. WP:OTHERPARENT applies. If I had been the FIRST admin to see this, I'd have protected. The fourth? Not rewarding that behaviour by giving what is desired. Courcelles (talk) 17:57, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
Of course, knowingly you wouldn't, is what I meant. But yeah, I've just warned them against admin shopping here a little while ago @User talk:Uwdwadafsainainawinfi#Admin shopping at RfPP. El_C 18:04, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
@Courcelles At first I thought it was a bug as Article similar to this one were already restricted so I asked again and when this one was also declined I messaged ToBeFree to ask why it wasn't restricted.
At no time were any malicious thoughts at work. Uwdwadafsainainawinfi (talk) 18:17, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
@El C: @Courcelles: If disruption continues over the next few days, that is ample reason to reconsider, and hardly qualifies as "admin shopping". Situations change. There may not have been enough "recent activity" in the past couple of requests, but each new request must be examined on a case by case basis. How many times protection was requested in the past is irrelevant to me. If the article looks like it needs to be protected, I'll protect it, regardless of what has happened to requests in the past. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:21, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Reason: The Wikipedia page for Sunrisers Hyderabad is an important resource for fans and enthusiasts of the Indian Premier League (IPL) team. However, as a public platform, it is susceptible to unwanted changes and edits from individuals with malicious intent or those who simply do not have accurate information. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information presented on the page, it is essential to take measures to protect it from unwanted changes.

One way to safeguard the Sunrisers Hyderabad Wikipedia page is to implement strict access controls and edit restrictions. This can be done by assigning trusted editors or administrators who have a deep understanding of the team's history, players, and achievements to monitor and update the page regularly. They can also work collaboratively with other editors to ensure that the information presented on the page is accurate, well-researched, and up-to-date.

Another way to protect the Sunrisers Hyderabad Wikipedia page is to use advanced editing tools and software that can track changes and revert any unwanted edits quickly. This can include tools that use artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and flag edits that do not meet the platform's guidelines, as well as those that alert editors to any suspicious activity on the page.

Finally, it is essential to educate and raise awareness among the public about the importance of accurate and unbiased information on Wikipedia. By creating a culture of responsibility and respect for the platform, we can all work together to ensure that the Sunrisers Hyderabad Wikipedia page remains a valuable resource for fans and enthusiasts of the team for years to come. 122.50.206.222 (talk) 07:41, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Reason: Sunrisers Hyderabad is a professional cricket team that represents the city of Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL). As with any popular sports team, the Sunrisers Hyderabad page on Wikipedia has been subject to both positive and negative edits over the years.

However, recent misinformation added to the page has caused concern among fans and the team management alike. In order to address this issue, the page has been temporarily locked to prevent further misinformation from being added.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad management and fans recognize the importance of accurate and up-to-date information about the team, and are therefore working with Wikipedia to unlock the page for editing by trusted individuals.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad is a professional cricket team that represents the city of Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL). As with any popular sports team, the Sunrisers Hyderabad page on Wikipedia has been subject to both positive and negative edits over the years.

However, recent misinformation added to the page has caused concern among fans and the team management alike. In order to address this issue, the page has been temporarily locked to prevent further misinformation from being added.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad management and fans recognize the importance of accurate and up-to-date information about the team, and are therefore working with Wikipedia to unlock the page for editing by trusted individuals. This will enable the community to correct any inaccurate or misleading information that may have been added.

We encourage all fans of Sunrisers Hyderabad to join in this effort to maintain the accuracy of the team's Wikipedia page. By working together, we can ensure that the page remains a reliable source of information about this beloved cricket team. SingiriRoyal (talk) 05:35, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

The articles being created may not be pretty, but an attempt should be made to reach a consensus before blank-and-redirecting again. Your quarrel over the page seems to be whether an article should exist at this point in the first place, rather than due to the article's quality.

Jessica Nabongo

Reason: Jessica Nabongo's page stated that she was the first Black woman to travel to every country. It was discovered that Woni Spotts is the first. Multiple Wikipedia editors agreed and updated the page. In fact, Nabongo is not even second because she did not get a visa to visit Syria. She visited a nearby area in Israel. The page reflects the correct information with citations. Editors keep altering the page to say Nabongo is first and adding promotional material to sell her book.

Reason: Persistent target for disruptive IP editing.

Reason: High level of IP vandalism: On Funimation, the IP has a persistent addition of altered content with mixing the Crunchyroll website both in the infobox and in the external links in the section below to two articles related to it, as well as adding photos for example: one in the offices of Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California and the other is located in the Brunel Building in Paddington, England through Crunchyroll UK and Ireland.

Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism – A single purpose IP user suspected of being previously banned for sockpuppetry is being disruptive and adding content that is not WP:POV, using non WP:RS sources (a local tabloid newspaper), or invented and not backed at all by the quoted sources when the links are checked. The page was previously semi protected [[108]] but the disruptive IP has returned once the protection expired.

From February 2023 RPP: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistant addition of non NPOV material that isn't backed up by claimed stated sources; relies on non WP:RS publications; or is simply invented. Persistant editing by unregistered users. Suspected sockpuppetry by unregistered user(s), likely linked to banned sockpuppet accounts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Saynotodrugs12 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rathfelder.

User talk:MuZemike/Archive 1 etc

Reason: These 8 pages of this user's talk page archives were self-protected when the user was an admin. User is not currently an admin, has not been since 2012. Mike's other archive pages, 8, 10 and 11 are unprotected and not experiencing any vandalism. My personal interest in these pages is that I'd like to clean the lint errors, primarily the 139 high priority tidy font bug errors in user signatures appearing on these pages, but I'd take care of all the other lints within the the same edit, in an efficient and effective manner with minimal disturbance. These have some of the most WP:LINT errors per page with all but 4 and 7 appearing on Galobot's lintiest pages list. I left a note March 20th on MuZemike's (current) talk page stating my intentions (as I was unsure if the above stated requirement for RPPD "if the protecting admin is inactive or you have already asked them" meant as inactive as an editor, or as an admin; he is still actively editing but is not an admin). Since it's been a week and there has been no reply as of yet, I feel comfortable in proceeding with this request. Zinnober9 (talk) 17:42, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Blackan007 (talk) 22:51, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Given the article is deleted and thus not available to be edited by IPs, this makes no sense. I'm also not seeing a good case for SALTing the earth because it doesn't appear to have been re-created since the AfD almost two weeks ago. —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 23:09, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

John Tolkien (priest)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism – A single purpose IP user(s) suspected of being previously banned for sockpuppetry is being disruptive and adding content that is not WP:POV, using non WP:RS sources (a local tabloid newspaper), or invented and not backed at all by the quoted sources when the links are checked. The page was previously semi protected [[111]] but the disruptive IP has returned once the protection expired.

(From previous February 2023 RPP): Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistant addition of non NPOV material that isn't backed up by claimed stated sources; relies on non WP:RS publications; or is simply invented. Persistant editing by unregistered users. Suspected sockpuppetry by unregistered user(s), likely linked to banned sockpuppet accounts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Saynotodrugs12 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rathfelder.

I misclicked when i submitted this request via twinkle, its meant to be temporary semi-protection. Totalstgamer (talk) 15:28, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of one day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I don't really want to give you a long term since that's essentially handing the dispute to you, and as reverting more than thric for a poor-quality source is justified only in BLP situations, I really want you to get this worked out on the talk page. Feel free to bring other editors in somehow, or work this out at RSN. Daniel Case (talk) 20:56, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

St. Joseph's College, Colombo

Reason: The page keeps getting edited by folks who add unrelated, and unverified information about the school. Given that this school is a famous school in Colombo, Sri Lanka, bad actors are interfering with the effort to keep this page clean with correct information with the relevant citations.

Grigori Grabovoi

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Followers of this person's New religious movement aren't happy about information of their leader's past convictions being on the article, and they're not afraid of misrepresenting sources. We've had a couple protections, and the SPAs (many of whom are block evading socks) always come back to disrupt when the protection expires. Please just give it an indef semiprotect.
