Indefinite Semi-protection: Article is persistently vandalized by IP users, repeated protections have not had any effect on curtailing this vandalism, and will not as said vandals are organizing and advertising their efforts through social media.

Declined, unfortunately the user causing problems is autoconfirmed, so pending changes won't do much good here. I'd suggest reporting them to a noticeboard if disruption continues. Mark Arsten (talk) 05:01, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Previously salted title created as a soft redirect, should be protected against potential new user "oppsies". Technical 13 (talk) 22:25, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Declined - seems to have settled down for the time-being, but I've added it to my watchlist and am prepared to protect if the reverting starts up again. – Juliancolton | Talk 02:03, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Long term semi-protection. Not really often but still a disruption. Anons popping in and imposing religious rules on the project. Let them at least get an account here and then BRD like the rest of us. SlightSmile 00:04, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. – Juliancolton | Talk 01:59, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Indefinite pending changes: Semi-Protection may also be a good idea. Persistent IP vandalism – I just reverted back about 8 versions with it seems no legitimate edits lost except perhaps one which was unsourced and appeared, with my scientific background, to be patently wrong. Overall in the last 50 edits 20 of them are reversions, and the rest it seems are vandalism. It may be that this page is constantly targeted due to its relevance to schoolchildren. Anon423 (talk) 22:41, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Thingg⊕⊗ 23:25, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: There has been a relatively high amount of IP vandalism, somewhat surrounding Diary of A Wimpy Kid to an extent. I think that some of this is spilloff from the DoaWK series article getting temporary SP, but overall the article has a history of IP editing that is either outright vandalism or extremely unhelpful. A temporary SP would help deter it, as it seems like it gets more vandalism whenever a new DoaWK book comes out. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 18:35, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mark Arsten (talk) 16:17, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated attempts to remove properly sourced controversies, and add promotional material. The article sees regular and frequent attempts by IPs and newly created throw-away accounts to whitewash it, so semi-protection for a year or so would IMHO be warranted. Thomas.W talk to me 10:14, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. If this was caused by a single IP address, with no other edits, then this isn't a cause for protecting the page. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 16:01, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: This article was previously semi-protected for 1 week due to the persistent addition of unsourced information into the article by an IP editor with a dynamic IP. Upon expiration of the prior semi-protection, the IP editor has returned and is again adding unsourced information. I would suggest semi-protecting this article for a longer duration.

Pending changes: David Gerard is no longer an admin... well, let's not get into that. This page was barely edited by IPs before protection. There were one unconfirmed and two IPs causing trouble. However, the page didn't have a history of protection until indef. semi-protection. The prior edits should have been on grounds for PC. George Ho (talk) 07:29, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- @David Gerard: your opinion on whether to apply PC or giving the semi an expiry date? (As an aside, he is an admin, just restricted in the use of the tools). Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:40, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- I am an admin ... but I expect this subject's IP stalkers to return as soon as they are able. But PC would do the job as well as semi, I suppose. Mostly the article actually needs watchers who are hard-arsed about BLP-quality sourcing, coatracking, etc - David Gerard (talk) 12:07, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Sheikh Hasina is the current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. Due to some political issue she is now a bit controversial character now in Bangladesh. So people try to hit or comment on this WP page in order to blame her. But it's not good for WP. If you see the page history you'll understand this. So I'm requesting for a semi-protection for at least 3-6 months. So that this page isn't vandalized. . Pratyya (Hello!) 14:38, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.

Declined I don't think protection is necessary, I think warnings for edit warring and encouraging the users to take it to the AFD would be best.

Permanent semi-protection: Unregistered users keep editing the page and adding false information. They are adding stuff to the page, but are not giving any sources to where they got it from. Whenever I or someone else takes out the false information, people keep putting the false information back in. The page has had semi-protection in the past, but it was only temporary.

Next Greek legislative election (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Indefinite semi-protection: There have been a series of IP edits over the last few months changing the political party Golden Dawn's political adjective from neo-nazi to something else (sometimes nationalist, sometimes ultranationalist, and maybe a few others.) Although the IP address changes, I feel fairly confident most of them are the same person.
There's really nothing to say here. They've only responded once, calling neo-nazi a "political propaganda term."
The Next Greek legislative election article isn't even the place to dispute something like this in the first place, it just reflects the party's article. The IP has been reverted by multiple people and directed to the Golden Dawn page several times.

I had been in the process of launching a complaint against the IP at AN/I after placing a tacit warning about edit warring on the IP's Talk page when protection was implemented.

Declined Appears to be a content dispute. Thingg⊕⊗ 06:27, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
Pending changes protection: One registered user "Zebzander" has made more than 40 edits on the page, repeatedly inserting unsourced "fan site" content into the article. The unsourced content often contains poorly worded English. He or she was asked on their talk page in 2011 not to edit in violation of WP:CRUFT, WP:FANSITE, WP:MOS, WP:BLP. Despite that request, "Zebzander" has continued to put unsourced content into the article, in violation of Wikipedia guidelines. This is becoming a BLP issue because of the persistent addition of unsourced content. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 02:07, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
Edit - Apologies, I've just realised that "Pending changes protection" only reviews unregistered and new user's edits. So this may not apply in the case of the registered user Zebzander. If you have any other ideas as to how to prevent the disruptive editing and BLP violations of the Marc Almond article, I would welcome them. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 02:36, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. This seems to undergo a lot of the vandalism that Diary of a Wimpy Kid (series) received and I think that some of the recent vandalism is spillover from those who were vandalizing that entry before its TSP.

Pending-changes protected hesitantly and conditionally. Hasn't received less then around 200 views a day and has received more then 900 a day for the last 5 days. So I suspect we will have a high edit rate. Nothing on the talk page (apart from 1 request 7 months ago) suggests that there are non-autoconfirmed users who have useful contributions to make. But, because this was something I used to request a bunch as a non-admin, I'm going to drop it down to PC, but I will (and anyone else is encouraged to) semi-protect it again if there is much (close to any) vandalism or any other disruption.

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Content dispute/edit warring. Trolling edit-warring. Jingiby (talk) 06:12, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. There is no sign of "vandalism" or "trolling" on the page. There is certainly an edit war, but if any action is to be taken about that, it must be symmetrical, affecting both participants equally. Semi-protection would have the effect of favouring one participant (the one who submittted this report) over the other, as one is an autoconfirmed account and the other is an IP-editor.

Done With all due respect to Callanecc, I cannot see what could be done at AIV other than page protection. When a large number of unrelated IP addresses make vandalism edits to one article, most of them each making only one edit, blocking individual IP addresses is futile, and page protection is the only way of stopping the problem. This is particualarly so in a case such as this one, where the vandalism has continued over and over again over a period of many years, returning after each time the article is protected for a short period.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Since the last protection, there's only been 3 edits from IPs/new users, and only one of those is obvious vandalism. The other is a good edit, and the third I'm not sure about, but either way, the volume is too low for protection. GedUK 12:24, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
Pending changes protection: It's notable that articles on golfers don't often get targeted by vandalism. Golf is perceived by many people to be a "gentlemanly" game and a sport that has a certain etiquette and values of decency and respect. So perhaps instinctively, people who enjoy reading about golf are not generally the type of people who like to engage in petty and disruptive forms of vandalism. However, it's been disappointing to me to see how the article on Phil Mickelson has been disrupted on a number of occasions this year by anonymous IP users. There have been three recent acts of vandalism earlier this month in December.
A look at the history of the article confirms that earlier this year vandalism happened sporadically at irregular intervals. For example, one act of vandalism in March, three acts in April, three times in May, twice in June (section blanking and changing height/weight). Perhaps as one of the most prominent golfers in the world (along with Tiger Woods whose article is protected) this has attracted some vandals to Phil Mickelson. People who might not be fans of the sport are nevertheless aware of Mickelson's high-profile as one of the leading golfers in the world. All of the vandalism that I have seen this year has come from anonymous IP users, not any registered users. So having "Pending changes protection" would in my view be ideal for protecting the BLP issues in this article. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 01:28, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Declined Only one IP and the page hasn't been edited for a week. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:55, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
Comment I'm surprised this has been declined, since there have been at least 12 acts of vandalism that I've noticed in the last 10 months since March. But perhaps 12 acts of vandalism in 10 months doesn't qualify as persistent vandalism. Given that "Pending change protection" doesn't block any helpful edits from anonymous IP users, and only reviews them to ensure vandalism has not been committed, I would have thought this type of protection would have been a helpful solution to the BLP issues. Any ideas as to how many further acts of vandalism there needs to be before I can report it again? Obviously more than 12 in 10 months. Regards, Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 10:12, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Temporary full-protection: Persistent edit-waring. Lets lock this up and force the 2 editors involved to just talk it out over talking and edit waring for all to see ..perhaps they should ask for more input by others. Both editors involved (User:Victor falk and User:Srnec) should receive a stern warning about edit-waring from an administrator over this in my opinion. -- Moxy (talk) 22:13, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
- I think me and Srnec have been making progress towards a better understanding of each other's positions, and I believe that we will be able to reach an agreement. If things were to stalemate, my intention was to take this to wp:3O, but we are not there yet. All reverts were at minimum one day interval, as part of wp:brd. If others editors want to get involved, they are more than welcome to do so on the talk page, instead of disrupting the process by locking in the m:wrong version. walk victor falk talk 22:34, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
- This is not edit warring. Discussion has been ongoing and civil throughout. I agree with Victor: if other editor's want to enter the discussion, what prohibits them? Moxy left a comment that we both responded to, but he never followed up. If he has opinions on the questions raised (Denmark, the Italies, Ethiopia, Cuba, dates, numbers), we'd like to hear them.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Article about a young male Philippine "actor, model, dancer" that is being treated as a fanblog by his apparently numerous fans, fans who repeatedly add tons of totally unsourced fancruft to it. Semi-protection for as long as possible is requested since most additions are made by IPs. The AFAIK only autoconfirmed user account that regularly adds unsourced material to the article has been given a final warning (after receiving multiple both templated and hand-crafted warnings before that), and thus will not be a problem for long if he/she continues. There are dozens of similar articles about Philippine entertainers, models and whatever, some of them of dubious notability, that are also being treated as fanblogs, and need to be dealt with. Some of those articles have recently been semi-protected, and a few list articles with fancruft have been deleted, and the more of them that get protected, preventing addition of new material by IPs, the easier it will be to take care of the articles that remain.

Temporary Semi-protection:: Vandalism by IPs, a lot of edit warring going on and the article needs an overhaul. IP users, one in particular, has made the article all about the species' venom toxicity and many of the references are from zoo notes, blogs, newspaper articles, and very little in the way of peer-reviewed journalistic work. Editors cannot improve and save the article if IPs keep edit warring and removing sourced material. DendroNaja (talk) 12:10, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The article is traditionally being vandalized by anonymous users. The article is attracting various users adding various nonsense to this article. I think it's already time for this article to be protected from undesired edits. Also, the most vandalized subject is the plot where most users add unnecessary plot details. If you think the issue is worse, you can protect it indefinitely. Mediran (t • c) 00:57, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

- Permanent Semi-protection. A different IP address keeps appearing to re-add the same incorrect information to this article, and gets reverted by different people. Examples of different reverts being necessary: [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] There are more, I just figured that's enough examples of this. IP address adds in false information, someone reverts them, a different IP address does the exact same thing later on, and so forth. The article history list the last 50 edits, and a considerable number of them are just reverting this one person for months now. If the protection isn't permanent, no way to stop them from just coming back a month later, as they have done in the past. Dream Focus 18:37, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

- Barney the barney barney, the last protection to the article was in 2011 for a 3 month period. I did review the history and only felt a 1-month protection period was justified. If it continues in January, a 3-6 month protection will likely be issued (by almost any admin reviewing the request). We try to avoid indefinite semi-protections whenever possible.

Temporary semi-protection.

Temporary full protection: Some content on the page is disputed. Users are currently attempting to establish a consensus on the article talk page. However, one user is prematurely declaring that a consensus has been formed and has taken to cutting out content as he sees fit, which is disrupting the page, preventing any consensus from being formed, and is dangerously close to 3RR (if not over it already).

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism, because some people is trying to change the motto, names etc. to mocking and informal words.

Semi-protection: IP keeps adding unconstructive edits relating to deaths of individuals. See this discussion.

Indefinite semi-protection: Several different IPs are being used to add individuals back into the society and culture section of the above page intermittently for months. A comment from user:SandyGeorgia a while ago referring to this same issue suggests that this is a chronic problem which has been going on for years. Talk page consensus was established here: [27]; that such individuals are non-notable in this regard, and furthermore the edits are unsourced. I suspect that this is the same individual, who if they have read the talk page consensus and things like Verifiability, does not feel that it applies to them. Request page protection from IP editors please. Many thanks, Lesion (talk) 18:29, 20 December 2013 (UTC). Lesion (talk) 18:29, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

- Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Archive55#Consensus? is the one I most remember. But it was also discussed at Leo Komarov and a number of other pages because a couple of the editors warring on that page kept trying to open new discussions on new forums as a way to tire out the editors that disagreed with them. -DJSasso (talk) 14:14, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
- Alright, well it doesn't seem like there is an overridding consensus either way, especially given Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Baltic states-related articles. I'm going to full protect both articles and ask the editors to start a new discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Baltic states-related articles.

Declined, it looks like it's only one IP doing it recently, so it would be better to seek sanctions against the IP. Mark Arsten (talk) 19:07, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
- It appears that the IP has taken a registered account. The edits are clearly neither vandalism nor overtly disruptive, and are intended to be constructive, but much of the tone and content are more appropriate for a book on the subject, where rhetorical fancies and unsourced assertions can be added without collaborative feedback, than for an encyclopedic article. The subject's 'owner' has chosen to continue working on the article, rather than engage at its talk page. If page protection isn't an option, and blocking the account isn't merited, what is suggested? JNW (talk) 22:44, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

- It's a problem you caused all by yourself with an ill-advised move that still is not supported by sources (which all point to keeping it lowercased). The issue is being discussed being discussed at MOS:CT, but you're abusing this process, WP:RM, and others to preserve your preferred inaccuracies and your misinterpretations of policies rather than discuss it with those who disagree and who point out "hey, it's not correct" (to whom you subject to your WP:IDHT belligerence). This, and other efforts are forum shopping because your being resisted in other forums where you should be discussing it. Especially when other editors and administrators have advised you to discuss it and quit the edit-warring. --ColonelHenry (talk) 22:10, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Mark Arsten (talk) 02:01, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
Semi-protection: An IP user has, for a lack of a better term, taken the article hostage. He will not allow any other IP user or registered editors to edit any part of the article as he will revert anything that is edited, even if a high-quality and verifiable source is attached to it. I initiated a discussion on the talk page to discuss the status of the article, but he would not respond. Later, he began to respond but his attitude was that of a child - accusing me of "wanting to corrupt other articles just to elevate your favorite snake", one of several childish accusations. He is a self-professed "fan", while I have university degrees that are related to the subject matter. The article is in violation of several Wikipedia policies and guidelines, including some serious WP:CV, WP:V, WP:CITEKILL, WP:SYN, and WP:POV. When I added the citation overkill category, he reverted the edit, claiming it to be "vandalism". Glancing at the article, it looks like it is a decent one - but as someone trained and schooled in the subject, I was able to discover serious problems as I began to read it. Other registered editors User:Tamfang and User:Biomedicinal have also tried to discuss the status of the article with him, he maintained the same attitude (that the article is "solid"). This article should be protected for 2-3 month period in order to be able to clean up the mess which the IP/anonymous user. Based on his very poor writing and reading comprehension skills, I suspect that this person is either a youngster or an uneducated adult. I informed him that millions read Wikipedia daily and that people who read and see factual errors will automatically assume that Wikipedia in general is not a reliable source. I told him I strive for reliability, accuracy and facts to the articles I edit. He has stopped discussing and still holds the page hostage. Please take action.

Temporary full protection. Content dispute/edit warring centered on BLP compliance. Dispute is over recently added, and immediately disputed, discussion of discrimination lawsuits. Both accuracy of the text and application of WP:UNDUE are at issue. Per BLP policy/practice, the disputed/contentious matter should be excluded unless consensus for its inclusion is established. At this point, more editors on the article talk page and at BLPN oppose inclusion than support it. Nevertheless, several users are adding the material back, and User:MilesMoney is making inflammatory and uncivil comments [38] [39] and trying to provoke a 3RR dispute. (My involvement in this began earlier today when I noticed that a reference saying that Rasmussen's "side" had won a case was cited to support text saying they had lost the case, which indicates what a mess the dispute already was in.) I therefore request that the article be protected for a week or until the dispute is settled, with the contentious/disputed material excluded per BLP practice/policy.

Indefinite Full-protection: Want to make sure that only administrators have the ability to disable the bot. — Carnivorous Bunny (talk) 19:25, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
- RFPP, I don't think it's routine practice to prohibit non-admins from stopping a bot, and if an admin wanted to stop it, the apge would be redundant as they could simply block it. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:46, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
- Many bots have methods to disable them without blocking (for example, User:ClueBot#Administrator emergency shutoff, User:AnomieBOT#Emergency shutoff). These methods also have full-protection (even though AnomieBOT's doesn't); see ClueBot's. I don't understand why this page can't be protected. If you feel that semi-protection is more appropriate, go ahead and do that. The goal is that I don't want any random user to have the ability to stop the bot.— Carnivorous Bunny (talk) 20:57, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Full protection: A poll was carried out in 2003 by a Croatian weekly news magazine with a list of the 'Greatest Croatians' in history.

Nobody should be added to the list that was not voted for in the poll, nor should anybody be removed from the list that was voted for as this would not reflect the true results of the poll.Michael Cambridge 13:31, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Serious allegations relating to living people are being added to this article, either based on totally unreliable sources (such as Twitter), or on sources which eiother do not confirm, or in some cases clearly reject, the allegations. Several SPAs seem to be adding this material. RolandR (talk) 13:37, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
Declined This is primarily a content dispute, and no effort has been made to engage on talk. (Note to Roland: Beware of removing properly sourced material -- Many of the sources (mlive, foxnews) appear reliable, but weight given to the subject may not be appropriate -- something to discuss on talk.)—Eustress 17:00, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- The editors posting this material have all since been indefinitely blo9cked as socks. Even when the sources were on the face of it reliable, the edits did not reflect the content on which they were purportedly based. RolandR (talk) 00:17, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
