Unprotection: It's been over 5 years since protection was applied to the page to prevent IP hopping vandals. Perhaps we could try unprotection?. Sakuura Cartelet Talk 05:06, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
- Have you asked Ronhjones? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 05:55, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
DoneRonhjones has been active, so I'm going to assume they missed the ping, and go ahead and unprotect this: no sense in getting too hung up over a minor issue. Ronhjones, if you feel my unprotection was in error, feel free to reverse it without consulting me. Vanamonde (talk) 15:48, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks!. bonadea contributions talk 10:07, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
Semi-protected. @Bonadea: all your subpages are currently semi-protected by the title blacklist, so this is redundant, but one might as well explicitly protect this page. Happy New Year! 🎄BethNaught (talk)🎄 10:10, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – We have a lot of IPs editing to change neutral and referenced statements of this religion's beliefs into unreferenced assertions of those beliefs as facts. This has been going on for years, on and off, so I am almost tempted to ask for indefinite semi-protection but maybe lets try it for a good long temporary period and see if that is sufficient. DanielRigal (talk) 01:00, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent IP addition of somewhat-contentious content which is under discussion at the article's talk page. It is regarding whether to include the person's ethnicity in the lead section, the discussion of which the IPs have continually ignored for weeks now—which is getting rather disruptive. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 03:05, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 07:13, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: An IP user with widely varying prefixes repeatedly insists on adding wrong or unreferenced content, even though it's either clearly wrong (like the old name of macOS) or unreferenced but likely also wrong – like overstating the role of Digital Video S.p.a. (although the Github contributor stats show no involvement of anybody by Digital Video, shun-iwasawa seems to have ties to Dwango). In rare cases that IP user left change comments, they are usually on the hostile side, like [1]. Therefore I request temporary semi-protection for that page. Maybe a week or so. --KAMiKAZOW (talk) 19:09, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – There have been repeated backwards/forwards edits on this article by multiple authors which intimate that Microsoft has discontinued sales and production of Lumia devices - this may well be the case, however, the sources being cited are of poor quality and therefore a large amount of conjecture is being relied on.
As no consensus appears to be reached and the content of the page is changing as often as a weather forecast, I would like to request that the page be protected temporarily, until such time as a verifiable source can be used to cite with some accuracy what is actually going on.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Indefinitely banned user SchoolcraftT has a past history of using IP address sockpuppets to circumvent his ban and edit this page.

I am requesting indefinite protection because the sock puppets have been a recurring issue over several years. They will go away for months, sometimes a year, but they seem to always come back. A temporary ban isn't going to solve this problem. Bitmapped (talk) 19:47, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP vandalism, and another IP keeps inserting edit that appears to be a BLP violation as the sources imply Donald Trump attended a Sinn Fein fundraising prior to an IRA bombing. Linking the two events together, though actually unrelated, implies Trump was involved. I suspect that is the purpose of the original article in The Guardian. . SW3 5DL (talk) 22:41, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

- He was not the president of the United States at the time. The event was in 1995, and The Guardian resurrected the event as click bait for their website back in November 2015. The article attempts to link Trump to the bombing. That makes it a BLP violation as no real reliable source supports this. WP is not a tabloid.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Req: 1 month semi - Persistent disruption of financial data after recent block expiration, like here and here where the gross values are changed from "disputed" to ₹630 crore and ₹700 crore. There is a significant dispute surrounding the gross figures of this film, and pro-Tamil editors seem to be swallowing the high values and in the case of the links above, trying to bury the idea that the numbers are disputed. There was a lengthy discussion about this at RSN and presenting the info as disputed seems the smartest overall choice, per consensus. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:41, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

The current senior class going on this page and constantly makes incorrect changes, that are often rude.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I would advocate semi-protection or pending changes to be implemented on this page for a week or so. This lists terrorists incidents and users on WP have often been adding misleading, false, and disruptive information. It seems here that users are more concerned with how fast they can place information on the article without reliable sources (e.g.: the shooting in Florida that has taken place in the past hour has already been labelled a terrorist incident without any sourcing). This has been protected before for 3 days because it's a fast-moving page subject to vandalism/disruptive editing and I would advocate this protection for a longer period to ensure that the information here is correct, and not just rumours. st170e 20:34, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Declined I'm not seeing strong evidence of recent vandalism like lots of reversions. It also doesn't help that no one seems to believe in edit summaries on this article. Beyond that IPs seem to be making a disprortionate amount of the edits, including constructive ones. I am going to need stronger evidence before I slap PP on this article.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The tour was over a decade ago and now an IP-hopping editor from the Indian sub-continent has decided that the genre in the lede needs to change from that which is in the band's article. Clear case of WP:GWAR. Since the tour was in 2004, it's unlikely that any significant changes need to be made to the article that can't be handled by an edit request on the talk page.

Indefinite semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Unauthenticated users 190.181.202.83 and 181.189.226.120 are in an edit-war, continually reverting information within this BLP article to reflect their own chosen state of events. The former IP has been the most active, however, there is a storied history for both, and, from even the most cursory glance of the edit styles, it is clear (to me at least), that the edits appear to be being carried out by the same editor.
Multiple messages have been left for the editor over the various talk pages by various people and have not been heeded, and, likewise, messages have been left on the article's own talk page to establish consensus, however, this has not received a response.
It does not seem like ARV would be the best course of action as the editor has already shown that they will submit edits from another location.
Could this page please have some protection enforced? Thank you. Demonuk (talk) 17:37, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Article was unprotected three days ago and has already been spammed three times by IPs.

It's not vandalism. What YOU'RE doing is vandalism, as you are refusing to provide a source. Do you not understand how Wikipedia works. You either provide a source, or you back down and accept that you're wrong, which you are here. I really don't understand why you're doing this. Is it to prove a point? The only thing you're proving is that you cannot just accept things as they are and move on. You HAVE to make things exactly how you want them to be. PeopleEater143 (talk) 21:51, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

All other edits are vandalism and hence warrant immediate and urgent protection. Thecorrector12 (talk) 02:19, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

This page was previously protected and expired on 22 September 2016, since then, nearly every edit has been reverted due to IP vandalism. This player retired over 18 months ago and the vandalism on the page will probably never cease, therefore an indefinite protection is needed; also requesting pending changes as some good faith edits can also be controversial. i.e. relating to racism, reasons behind why he was booed etc. Flickerd (talk) 10:07, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Multiple different vandalizing IPs and non-confirmed editors in the past ~48h. There's also a long-term vandalism issue with this page, albeit low-speed. ClueBot NG is the article's most frequent editor. (It has more edits to the page than the three next most frequent editors put together) At a quick estimate, around 600-700 of the article's ~900 revisions are either vandalism or the removal thereof.

Who thinks we should Unprotect these articles: The astrology articles were very vandalized and needed protection back in September. This was due to several announcements by NASA. The Aries article was protected for 2 months, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces will be protected for 1 year, and Sagittarius has been protected indefinitely. The Aries article has been doing fine unprotected even while the rest are protected. So does this make you think these articles should be unprotected by now?68.224.116.208 (talk) 03:14, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent blanking of West Coast Customs by self-described employees[12] hopping IPs. Since in a recent edit this person has apparently been "put in charge of moderating the West Coast Customs Wikipedia page" by West Coast Customs, I would like to ask for the page to be semi-protected so only autoconfirmed editors may edit it. Note that I'm doing my best to assume good faith here and despite my authorship of 80% of the current article I am not trying to claim WP:OWN or anything like that, but these IPs and now user accounts all with the same modus operandi completely ignore my and other editor's attempts to engage them in discussion [13] If it is too premature to ask for page protection, I'm sorry, I'm just trying to protect WP from vandalism which is quite likely to continue because it's obvious upper management of WCC does not like my article rewrite. Semi protection will allow these editors, if they have real grievances with the new version of the article, to ask for changes on the talk page and get consensus instead of the current hopping and blanking.

Persistent vandalism throughout 2016, 33 times by multiple unregistered users, 14 times by 4 SPAs (one SPA nominating the page for deletion, which was overwhelmingly rejected), one long vandalism edit war in February 2016. In 2014 and 2015, the constructive edits from unregistereds outnumbered the disruptive ones (2014: 3 to 1; 2015: 9 to 2), but this balance was overturned in 2016 (7 to 33). I'm not sure if semi-protection will solve the problem, because some vandals simply create an SPA. Also, most disruptive edits are reverted the same day, the page is relatively well-guarded. However, according to my calculation, 52 of the total of 232 or 22.4% of all edits are vandalism, which is far above the average of 5%. Interested in your opinion.

- @KATMAKROFAN and Beeblebrox: Well, this relates to an action I took in 2013, so you will perhaps not be surprised when I tell you that I don't remember it. However, a couple of minutes searching through histories was enough to make it apparent that this was one of a number of related templates that had been misused and/or disruptively edited by the editor variously known as EgayovikiW, DASL51984, Dy11111, Floating Inputs, and numerous other names, many (but not all) of them listed at Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Dy11111 and Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Dy11111. My guess is that there is no longer any need for the protection, so I'll remove it. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 16:45, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

There is a long history of vandalism on this article. While the recent vandalism hasn't been massive, there hasn't been many recent edits at all.

- There was an unopposed proposal to merge {{Collapse top}} and {{Collapse}} as well, but it has not been done yet. If it's not necessary to full-protect these, I would leave them as is. It seems highly unlikely that a template editor is going to do something destructive to MediaWiki:Protect-text, which is really just a quite simple template that isn't in Template namespace. The protection of that MediaWiki-namespace page is there seemingly because the content is WP:OFFICE controlled, but this doesn't seem to have anything to do with templates (like Collapse top) that it uses as utilities. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 19:02, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

- Reopening request. @Samsara: This is a valid request since the template is not cascade-protected and since per the instructions in this section, the protecting admin does not need to be notified for full protection to template protection downgrade requests. (Unless someone wants to place this template on Wikipedia:Cascade-protected items, if that's technically possible ... Mr. Stradivarius?) Steel1943 (talk) 19:01, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- I'm confused by your seemingly contradictory argument. I'm sure if you were to argue that you have specific improvements you want to make to this template, we would allow you to do that. Otherwise, I'm not sure why we're having this discussion. A request for lowering protection can be made at any time, and template editors know where to do so. Samsara (talk) 19:08, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Samsara: That's okay, since I'm confused on what you are trying to tell me as well, or why you are telling me this. Would it be a bit clearer if I state that I am, in a nutshell, requesting this template have its protection level downgraded, or would it help if I say ... that cascading protection supersedes template protection if both are applied to a page? Steel1943 (talk) 19:12, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- Linking to it from Wikipedia:Cascade-protected items will make it fully protected, which is the opposite of lowering it to TP. Now you seem to be saying that you would like its protection to be lowered, but is that because you want to edit it, or because you're wikilawyering about a matter of principle? We had a discussion recently where we concluded that we would not honour random requests for lowering protection unless a good reason was given - see the talk page for that. So if you have specific changes in mind, we would probably lower the protection to allow those to be made. If you don't have any at this time, no change is needed as you can request the lowering of protection when you are ready to edit, and it will be granted within a short time. Note that the proposed change mentioned by SMcCandlish can be made right now - both {{Collapse top}} and {{Collapse}} are editable by template editors right now. Samsara (talk) 19:18, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- Okay, I see where the confusion lies now. For one, cascading protection and full protection are not technically the same thing. Also, what I was actually providing were two different paths to resolve this: One is to cascade protect this page, and the other is to lower its protection level to template protection. In its current state, I believe that the page should by default have its protection level lowered to template protection since it is a page in the template namespace and ... again, by default ... should have its protection level lowered to template protection. The creation of the template editor right was to allow editors with the right to edit all templates ... with the exception of those with cascading protection. In fact, I do agree with you that the fact that this has essentially turned into some sort of "wiki lawyering"-ish discussion is rather disturbing as well; the IP made a simple, within consensus established policy request, and now here we are debating the validity of the whole ordeal. If there was a discussion that established consensus otherwise, a link to that information should be added to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/URheading ASAP. Without that information ... In a nutshell, in my opinion, the fact that Mr. Stradivarius raised the protection level of this page from template protection to full protection was WP:IAR and the fact that you denied the IP's request to downgrade it again is also WP:IAR. Steel1943 (talk) 19:28, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- Sooooooo... in a previous discussion, I pretty much volunteered for going through highly transcluded templates and ensuring they have the correct protection values, but we kind of got stuck on what cut-off value to use and whether to enact such protection at all. If I have a clear mandate, I will go through them and fix them, but it makes the most sense to me to change them in either direction, both lowering and elevating as needed. The protection policy provides no guidance on when a protection should be increased, however, other than vague relative terms. But honestly, if I have to have the finger pointed at me for relaying consensus from previous discussions to you because you haven't read them, I'd rather walk my dog. Samsara (talk) 19:49, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Samsara: Nah, I'm just not the biggest fan of being told to look at a talk page that has several pages of archives, leaving me with no real clue of how to find the exact discussion I'm being directed to find... And that linked discussion has nothing to do with my concerns...
It seems that I have a rather strong disagreement with the way that linked discussion turned out, but I'll leave any concerns I have with that discussion to be stated at a later time sinceI'm sure we are both getting exhausted dealing with this here at this specific juncture (a random page protect request.) Either way, if I were an admin, I would have also volunteered to do what you volunteered to do as well, considering I'm a bit of a consistency and M&P stickler; makes Wikipedia easier to navigate and edit for good-faith editors, so I very muchly agree with your take on the whole ordeal.Anyways, with that being said, thanks for the information (as well as your take on the matter), and I will reactivate the "denied" template for the bot.Steel1943 (talk) 20:02, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Well, turns out that I was mistaken that I was pointed to this discussion. Wikipedia talk:Requests for page protection has 9 archive pages, so trying to find whatever consensus was formed for what I see to be WP:IAR upgrades (upgrade template protection to full protection without proof of template editors editing in violation of the template editor editing guideline) and denials (deny downgrading full protection to template protection) for "Template:" namespace pages is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. And I've seen quite a few of such upgrades and denials when it seems quite clear as stated in Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/URheading that these requests for downgrading should have no controversy and shouldn't be reverted unless the template page has or gets cascading protection (or the obvious case of template protection not working due to template editors not following the template editor guideline themselves while the page is template protected.) So, at this point, I am a bit troubled by the fact that I was directed to some sort of consensus ... but where is proof of that consensus located? This question seems to be bringing up more additional questions than answers. And, honestly, any such drastic change to neuter the permissions granted by the template editor user right really needs to be a discussion that is advertised via a WP:RFC since it is such a big change. Steel1943 (talk) 21:16, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- Eh, never mind for now. I just realized how many community resources may be wasted by discussing this here on this page, as well as the fact that it may drive volunteers away from fulfilling these requests if they see this big wall of text. I'll copy my concerns somewhere (probably in my user space) and probably start a more structured discussion later. Anyways, I'm going to reactivate the decline tag now for the bot. If anyone has the desire to continue on this discussion, probably best to do so on this page's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Template editor for proper exposure.

My talk page was vandalised See here by troll from He:wiki. also in Commons The text on summary editsis in Hebrew and it is abussive in Hebrew and need to be hide. This is User:יעל י That was blocked globally on Meta see here for abusing users on Hebrew wiki and Commons. She has a lot of Sockpuppets some of them were record in commons in Category:Sockpuppets of יעל י. also here Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/יעל י/Archive My talk page was protected because of her before, see here. I am asking now for indefinite protection, because she will reture in the future and it will happen again.

Declined We only protect user talk pages in exceptionally serious cases of vandalism, and then only for short periods (see the protection policy). This page has only had two vandal edits recently, from the same user who has now been blocked. I suspect the reason your talk page was protected previously is because at that time it was just a redirect to somewhere else. Hut 8.5 22:37, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: After revert edits stopped between two users (who were told to stop), while a dispute resolution procedure was made and while the conflict was being discussed in the Talk Page, waiting for a possible resolution this weekend, another user made a revert edit. . Fulgery (talk) 04:00, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
- The discussion didn't end, and he want to Leave his version (the controversial version) of the page. It's more appropriate to protect the version which was before the debate until the problem is resolved. As it will mislead the readers of the page. --Aṭlas (talk) 04:21, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
- Nothing is misleading or controversial in the current version. Before the appearance of another user, the edits had stopped in the current version (the version before a dispute resolution request was made) and the question was discussed in the Talk page. The problem could be resolved this weekend by unbiaised users hopefully, but until then I think the article should be protected. Fulgery (talk) 05:55, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
- I am that other user. I find the edits controversial and very misleading, and reversed them. Your edits are not supported by the sources you cite - you evidently have not read them or have not understood them. Moreover, you are not even trying to address the multitude of secondary sources contradicting your edits others have produced in the talk page. You have engaged in edit-warring on this page, violated WP:3RR, and are now trying to solidify your version with page protection? I see you only registered three days ago, and have contributed nothing else but edit-warred on this. May I ask that you take a breather, gather your argument, and address the evidence, rather than going around forum-shopping? If you're concerned about other readers seeing your edits, you can provide diffs. The page itself should be as it was before your controversial edits. Walrasiad (talk) 09:05, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
- My edits are supported by my reliable and authoritative sources. I responded multiple times in the Talk Page to the objections. I have not violated WP:3RR and the page should be in the version preceding your rekindling of the fire by your edits, while the edits had stopped and the problem was being discussed.

Under the light of the edits and editing behavior displayed so far by Chaabano (after KevinAbdulqader and ProtectorOfHaq) (Please, see 108.16.242.38 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 68.119.101.19 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), Chaabano (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) KevinAbdulqader (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log),2001:56a:7230:b00:508e:53d1:e1a9:a05d (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 2001:56a:7230:b00:445b:84dc:d278:846d (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 2604:2000:B088:7000:C597:5416:5908:CD47 (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) and 50.117.45.69 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)) and the talk history of this article, one can safely determine that this editor is a possible reincarnation of an old and/or blocked editor (possibly KevinAbdulqader and ProtectorOfHaq or Baboon43) as he is removing the same independent, academic and verifiable content from the article which has been "discussed" and "re-discussed" over and over again throughout the history of this article. The only difference this time IS that Chaabano claims to be "researching" Qibla with MIT and he would like to share his "findings" on Wikipedia by inserting promotional links to Qiblah.us (Please, see here, here and here. Furthermore, since Tariq Ramadan has dared to say something about the Al-Ahbash in one of his academic and peer-reviewed work, thus, he should be maligned and his academic and peer-viewed statement should be removed from the article, an attempt which has been quite a few times by users like Chaabano. Despite the fact that Tariq Ramadan and Qibla has got their own dedicated pages on Wikipedia. It is important to note that Chaabano suddenly showed up few days ago and made his first edits by lifting content from other web-sites as well as removing referenced material from the Al-Ahbash. He is accusing me of being the sole author of that article despite my clarification. Thus, it will be prudent to protect this page on temporarily basis if not on indefinite basis before situation gets out of hand and drive each and every editor who will get involved to reinvent the wheel again.

Administrator note Before I saw this request, I had already protected the article for two years. It had previously been blocked numerous times for periods of either a week or a month, but that was ineffective, as the unacceptable editing just came back each time. However, considering how long the problem has been going on, and the high likelihood that it will continue, I am borderline for whether to accept EvergreenFir's suggestion of indefinite semi-protection or not, so I am leaving this request open, to let another administrator can decide on that question, if any administrator chooses to.

Reduction in protection level: From full protection to template editor protection. Enable access by template editors. Only about 400 links. 219.79.180.148 (talk) 23:16, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
Declined No rationale provided for lowering protection. Consensus at WT:PERM is not to re-evaluate the protection levels of templates without a specific rationale for doing so. ~ Rob13Talk 00:50, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- @BU Rob13: Can you expand on your comment to address the following? 1. WT:PERM relates to permisions, and so does not appear directly relevent to protection. 2. The IP does indicate a rational - it is useful because it allows more people to edit; it doesn't introduce undue risks because of the low number of links (I assume the IP means transclusions). Is this not specific enough? Yaris678 (talk) 13:02, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Yaris678: Sorry, typo. Meant to type WP:RFPP. Due to recent mass requests to lower protection, it was decided not to consider these requests here unless there's evidence that more people actually want/need to edit the template. In this case, there have been no edits needed at all for quite some time, so there's no such evidence. We don't have the personnel to consider potentially thousands of requests to lower protection on templates that will never actually need to be edited. ~ Rob13Talk 15:18, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- OK. That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.
- 219.79.180.148, unless you know of a template editor that wants to change that template, or specific changes that need doing, it will stay at full protection.

Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Some editors and I have agreed that protection is needed for this page (see here), because of the poor referencing, grammar and editors are too quick to add in information (which turns out to be false). It's completely disruptive, and I'm requesting PC protection so edits can be reviewed before they are implemented. This page was semi-protected before, but it needs further protection (and I would argue indefinite, but it's only a list of terrorist incidents for January). st170e 13:48, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

- You're right I should have phrased it better. I agree with the previous declining admin who saw no justification for increasing the level of protection. These are not templates that never need editing. The syntax is not overly complicated. There aren't any high profile swimming/tennis/volleyball events to increase their risk from autoconfirmed sockpuppets. There's nothing to indicate the risk to these templates has increased. -- zzuuzz (talk) 07:22, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: "High level of IP vandalism."
Comment: Over the last year alone, there has been constant inaccurate number changes (dates, sums etc.), unexplained content removals or changes (by both IP and new users with a few edits) and an extremely high level of IP vandalism. 9 controversial edits in this month alone. Majority of edits in its history of the article are largely vandalized edits to the point where I have to backtrack every edit from now to indefinitely back to restore its accuracy according to what was sourced. Many of these edits are also happening in bunches, in relation to other articles such as History of Haiti etc.; to their extent is unknown at this time. I am preparing to do some very tedious work.

- (ec) In all disputes reported to RfPP and responded to by me, I have consistently required people to be pro-active in offering talk page discussion. In all other cases, you are doing no better than the other person (objectively, you're both edit warriors). Compounding that, in this particular dispute, you are an established editor and the other person may be a newcomer. So for either one of those reasons alone, and certainly both of them combined, I expect more from you if you expect anything more than a neutral decision, which is what you got. Samsara (talk) 15:19, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Well slap me round the face with a wet kipper, I'm back. Because the IP warrior has created an account and sent me a very polite PM asking what the problem is. I have replied here and here. Don't worry about me, but it would be a courtesy to them to lift the full protection, so I am now reversing my original request. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 18:56, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Full-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Nowadays the page is a tool of political fight.

Semi-protection: vandalism. 14.2.34.140 (talk) 17:07, 22 January 2017 (UTC) A few users have attempted to mark this article as "to be Deleted" but there excuse for doing this is slanderous and based on no creditable information when genuine reliable sources can be found in the article for example TV.com which isnt user generated and must be verified played in cinemas. ALSO note that the following articles seem to have been accepted by wikipeida despite having low to near poor referances, no visisubl support at all in internet searching, contain totally dead links or a google book which could have been uploaded by a student: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(film) this film was accepted on two references one which is IMDB(told not acceptable as user generated much like Wikipedia) this film also cannot be found anywhere on the internet! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Jeffries is in violation of copywrite, has dead links and the only link working refers to google books which anyone can add too.
this is not very acceptable and seems totally discrimination if the article is deleated or not protected from this type of vandalism.

Extended confirmed protected, I spotted more disruption after the request was filed, so it is better for the article to stay extended confirmed protected.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:57, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
Extended-protection : I think that the article page Melania Trump, should have the same protection level as the article page Donald Trump. I am sorta new to Wikipedia, (read a few Wikipedia rules while I was off from editing for 6 months). I was surprised by a blue lock that I have never seen before on any article, and clicked on it. I learned about the "Extended Enhanced page protection". However, when I went to Melania Trump's page, it was only a gray one, learned that it was semi-protected and less secured.& I think that it would be a good idea to put the same "Extended Enhanced page protection" on Melania Trump's article, if one thinks about it, vandals and protesters, would be able to attack there.
Also, the fact that she is a First Lady and the wife of the President of The United States of America, should be reasonable enough to conclude the need for a greater protection on the page.

- Sure. [1](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trans-Pacific_Partnership&type=revision&diff=761680794&oldid=761677889), [2](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trans-Pacific_Partnership&type=revision&diff=761610215&oldid=761609798), [3](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trans-Pacific_Partnership&type=revision&diff=761568609&oldid=761568589). Editors are also repeatedly (I count half a dozen IP numbers) in the last 12 hours) saying that TPP was (rather than is) a trade agreement, which needs to be supported by sources and discussed, but which the constant back-and-forth makes impossible.

Temporary Semi-Protection: Disruptive editing. There's been a lot of back and forth over Chris O'Dowd's placement in the cast list. Users have kept switching his name between the "Peculiar Adults" and "Non-Peculiar Adults" sections. Another user pointed out, with evidence from the film, that his character should be listed as "Non-Peculiar Adult;" the switching still continues. It's mainly a wide range of IPs that initiates the switching so temporary protection should calm the page down.Crboyer (talk) 00:45, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Repeated removal of referenced detail by editor (Nicosmith23 ) who has identified himself as the former singer in the band. He disagrees with the official statement released by the band, and is just intent on constantly removing it when it is relevant to the article. He has personally attacked me in edit summaries ("You fucking weird bitter cunt") and tried to add a photograph that he didn't have the rights to use. This has been going on since May last year (using previous user name Nicky smith23777 and IP 81.104.252.77), and obviously required protection for an extended period of time.

- (Non-administrator comment) I think this issue is best handled by the two users in question discussing the issue on the article's talk page, rather than edit warring back and forth or resorting to page protection to lock out one of the editors.

Indefinite semi-protection This page has been a victim of high level of IP Vandalism for a long time but I came to notice this only recently. As it can be seen from this page's history, the number of edits made by IPs far exceeds that of edits made by registered users and most of those IPs don't make constructive contributions to the article. Most of them are playing with the page. One of many idiotic edits I noticed was that of 24.184.20.208 who made his only edit of Wikipedia on this page by changing length of one of three runways of airport in infobox from 3,810 m to 88 m.

- My assessment here is that it probably will need semi at times in the future, just not right now - it makes sense to keep it open when there isn't current ongoing disruption. It also has a relatively high edit rate, which is why I wouldn't reach for PC in this case. I'm aware that interpretations of "high edit rate" vary - perhaps we have to work on that. So there's nothing wrong with PC here (and it's a BLP, which might strengthen that case), but it also doesn't quite address the problem imo, and it's likely looking at the prot log that we'll be reaching for semi again before too long. Hope that makes my perspective clear. Cheers, Samsara 19:01, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Temporary Extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism even after pending changes page protection. Reverting pending change, and some reversion of even new user changes, can be seen in 100 edits view on page history. This continuous reversions and undoing, makes the history look all jumbled up. At this rate it would be pretty obvious that vandals would create a new account to just vandalize. Aceing_Winter_Snows_Harsh_Cold (talk) 04:27, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism from (mostly anonymous) users seeking to remove sourced material that's unfavorable to the subject of the article.

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism. It has received temporary protection several times but vandalism has continued to occur and has required many reversions.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Incessant socking problem from Europefan (talk · contribs) (see SPI) All the "<Year> in Germany" articles are affected. . Andy Dingley (talk) 00:20, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Man, you're asking someone to protect 42 different articles? Does any admin here know of some sort of automated tool for this? I know that if I did this manually, it would take hours. Is there an alternative solution? ~Anachronist (talk) 05:47, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Twinkle has a tool for protecting all pages linked to from one page. Hut 8.5 07:41, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Yes 8-( Take a look at the Europefan SPI for why this sort of measure becomes necessary. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:55, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- I would prefer a limited protection period if we're protecting 42 articles. Samsara 13:00, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Samsara and Hut 8.5: I've created User:Vanamonde93/sandbox/Temp for the purpose of this protection, but I cannot figure out how to do protect the bunch: is it cascading protection? Isn't that just for transclusions? Also, it seems to me that a couple of these pages would be protected pre-emptively: how do we feel about that? Vanamonde (talk) 14:56, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- WP:PP says that cascading protection isn't available for semi, and isn't supposed to be used in this way. It's also not available for PC, but I wonder if PC isn't preferable here. I'm currently undecided about protecting this entire group of articles. If there isn't any pattern to which ones are affected, we also need to consider that new titles in this series may provide new cannon fodder when/if they are created without protection. Samsara 15:52, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- What we'd need to correctly resolve this per the cascading proposal is the ability to have semi-protection (or PC) cascade from a fully protected page. This type of cascading afaik has not been implemented or enabled yet. Samsara 16:04, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Anachronist, Hut 8.5, and Vanamonde93: Any objections to me going through the list and protecting on a case-by-case basis as needed (and watchlisting any unprotecteds)? I see no reason why we shouldn't at least do that. We can then still continue the discussion of whether some sort of blanket protection should be applied based on expected behaviour of the vandal. Vanamonde, if you were hoping to do this, feel free. Samsara 17:15, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Samsara: I have no objection, and I agree this shouldn't be indef, but something shorter term, starting with a month. The problem is, if we find ourselves needing to escalate the protection period, I am concerned that doing it manually one by one will waste a lot of someone's time, so doing it in an automated way would be preferable. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Absolutely no objections, Samsara. Please go ahead. Vanamonde (talk) 17:32, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Will continue going through them as I find time today. Samsara 13:33, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
- Following on from Hut 8.5's comment. If you have Twinkle installed go to User:Vanamonde93/sandbox/Temp and there should be a tab that says TW. The drop down menu has P-batch which will protect all the links on the page. Bee careful because right above the P batch is D-batch and that will delete them and it works real good.

- Man, is this a mess. Samsara, if you've done a cursory look and gotten the obvious ones, I'd recommend closing/archiving this. If further attention is needed, an editor can nominate a single page and make the case for semi-protection. It's very difficult to review a mass-nom like this for page protection, since page protection is highly individual to each page. ~ Rob13Talk 01:22, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- A mess indeed. There's about ten or so left that I've yet to look at in detail, but I can do that without keeping this thread open. Samsara 15:05, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Note: The page was only created once and is a bit stale at this point (since December 2016). Since this hasn't strictly speaking been "repeatedly" recreated, this would normally be declined. However, given that this is an active user and that there is no reasonable expectation that a "Sro23" will become notable in the future, I wouldn't object too loudly if we invoked WP:IAR here. I will defer to the judgment of the next administrator. Mz7 (talk) 05:14, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
Creation protected Indefinitely. Mz7 is correct, IMO, and this is a valid application of IAR. The likelihood of a legitimate page being created here is virtually nil, and can be addressed if that situation arises. Vanamonde (talk) 06:47, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protection: From the little I got told, this page got fully protected in the middle of a move war sometime ago. I tried to discuss this with the admin who protected the page, but the idea that I wish to move the page too was stuck in his mind, so the discussion went nowhere, no matter what I said. The original page that started everything is move protected for quite sometime now, so I can't see why this is a issue anymore. Bertdrunk (talk) 22:34, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
- @EdJohnston: Would you care to comment here?—CYBERPOWER (Around) 02:24, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Bertdrunk: What's the benefit of unprotecting this given that there's no consensus to move anything to this page (at least as far as I see)? I'm not a fan of considering unprotection requests when there are no edits needed by those being restricted from editing the page, given constraints on admin time/resources. ~ Rob13Talk 01:21, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- >>I DON'T WANT TO MOVE ANYTHING<<. In the page I linked there's a long discussion in which I keep repeating that to no avail. How can this still popup? Even if someone tries the other pages are move locked, so that won't be a problem. If somehow that's still a problem, move-protect this one too. Bertdrunk (talk) 01:43, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- This title wound up being full protected as a redirect due to an edit war that was first reported in July, 2016. It continued in early September, 2016 as you can see from the history of Anglo-Spanish War (1779–83). There appear to be two groups of people, those who want the fighting in North America to be described in Spain and the American Revolutionary War and those who want the material to stay in Anglo-Spanish War (1779-1783). From time to time, someone comes forward and just wants the redirect unprotected but they don't explain whether they intend to copy the existing material from the other article. In my view, the redirect should stay protected until someone will explain how a two-article solution would work and how they propose the material be arranged. And, they should get consensus. If you don't like the idea of a WP:RM then please explain what form of discussion you would set up. See Talk:Spain and the American Revolutionary War#Redirect for the prior discussion that led to the status quo. EdJohnston (talk) 05:42, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- You say consensus but fully-protected a page cause a guy asked you, that's all the "consensus" that exist. There's nothing beyond you ignoring whatever is said and sitting over the top of this. What I propose is that you should pick whatever problems you ever had with any editor and take it to them. Then you should stop pretending that everyone else would do exactly the same thing for whatever reason it may be. And why you keep insisting on a RM is really beyond my comprehension.
