Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs constantly adding unsourced content to the article in question. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 14:21, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – It's April Fools and a string of (related? meat puppets? socks?) IPs are reverting/vandalizing to the same preferred content. Shearonink (talk) 17:55, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Already protected by administrator Widr. Lectonar (talk) 21:05, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reduction in protection level: From full protection to template none.

Edit requests are ignored, or incorrectly handled by editors ignorant of Wikipedia requirements for citable information and of the topic.

Article is in bad shape.

Admin who did protection level ignored request to reduce protection level.

2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:C3 (talk) 22:38, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article is semi-protected, not full protected. I recommend 2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:C3|2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:C3 to register an account and improve the article - it is a common vandalism target, and thus unprotection would be unproductive. Materialscientist (talk) 23:37, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You may be personally biased against IP editors, but they are allowed on Wikipedia. The semi protection policy is failed. Edit requests are ignored or dismissed by editors who don't know a thing about the topic or that encyclopedias require reliable sources.
Maybe you are the one who added the unsourced statement on the ultramicroscope, maybe your grandfather invented it, and knowing how little attention this article gets your blocking IP edits keeps your misinformation in the article.
No, Wikipedia editors bully each other, and spend little time editing, this is an example, you could have responded to the edit requests instead of trying to revert me, you could have responded to me on your talk page, but nothing but policy chat and throwing walls of text at suspected newbie editors seems to be done on Wikipedia anymore.
I want to improve the article, not throw my weight around to prevent IP editors from improving it. It would have taken you less time to remove ultramicroscope from the intro than to post here, after reverting my edit request, after ignoring me in your talk page. You're a registered user, and you don't care about the quality of the article.
No. The article needs edited. Wikipedia doesn't need more socializers. It needs editors. --2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:9D (talk) 00:05, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:9D: You can also create an account and change what you don't like about the failed protection policy. Cheers, Mlpearc Phone (open channel) 00:09, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Right, thanks for not reading anything I said, which seems to be the other aspect of nouveaux Wikipedia, everyone just talks at each other about policy, no one edits any articles. You could have responded to edit requests and fixed articles. But, no, no time for that, when you can throw in a comment on policy that shows you don't even read what is there, just add to the talk. But thanks for proving my point. --2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:9D (talk) 00:19, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is, it has been two years. I see there was a lot of protection applied to it, but do we really want such a vital article semiprotected infinitely? I don't know if I agree with that. Maybe we can try alternating un/protection for a few months...? I'll try to keep an eye on it, for my part. Please think it over, Materialscientist. El_C 04:30, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism subsides around summer. We are not there yet, but you can try unprotecting. Materialscientist (talk) 08:42, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be inclined to put that under pending changes-protection for...let's say three months to evaluate the amount of disruption caused. Easier to just accept or revert a pending revision, too, instead of having to process an edit request. Would that be a way forward? And I will watchlist. Lectonar (talk) 07:36, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly reverts are easier than edits, MS reverted me in a blink of an eye, but ignored all my edit requests, as did everyone. No one on Wikipedia is improving this article, while stale misinformation has been spread all over the web from it. It's time to remove the misinformation from Wikipedia and to source real information. I don't know what pending changes is, though. If it requires input from other users it will fail. The edit requests on this article are being ignored or mishandled, and pending changes would suffer the same fate. --2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:9D (talk) 08:34, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:PC, which is a good idea, actually. Wikipedia is all about input from other users, IP. Thanks, Materialscientist. Okay, unprotected and placed under pending changes for three months. We'll see how it goes. Hope for the best. 'Knock on James Woods, et cetera! El_C 14:11, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If pending changes are ignored like edit requests are, you've changed nothing, just put the edits in a different category where inputs are still not improving the article. The problem is no one is editing the article to fix it. I'm willing to do that, but, instead of doing that, I've joined the majority of Wikipedia talking about policy and doing nothing to improve an article. Or edit requests are, and now, probably pending changes will be, dealt with by editors who don't know Wikipedia requires reliable resources.
I don't see how recategorizing edit requests helps. --2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:9D (talk) 15:34, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I just got my changes thoroughly rejected by someone who thinks scanning electron microscopes record their reflected electron beam to create an image (not e3ven the Wikipedia article on them says that brain buster), and imagines the word "ultramicroscope" elsewhere in the article. --2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:9D (talk) 16:06, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, the "someone" in this message is me and everything after the word "who" is false. Given that this editor thinks the best way to improve this article is to pick fights, violate WP:NPA, tell lies, and edit war, I strongly oppose removing PC protection. CityOfSilver 16:11, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Do you see the word "ultramicroscope" anywhere else in the article? Do you have a single source that says an SEM acts by imaging its reflected electron beam? This is anti-science or something going on. --2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:9D (talk) 16:16, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Everything I've done regarding your edits has been in response to your completely inappropriate behavior. Nothing I've done has been in response to your changes to the content. This is not an appropriate location for content discussions. Please stop leaving messages like this here. CityOfSilver 16:20, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You're editing the article as a form of coercion? That's creepy. --2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:9D (talk) 16:35, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Done de-semied and placed under pending-changes protection for 3 months. Please discuss the rest somewhere else. Lectonar (talk) 20:59, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Saudi Arabia

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – We have 2 new editors edit waring back and forth. If I'm not mistaken this article has a one revert rule. Moxy (talk) 15:42, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I have warned both editors about the edit warring. If this continues i suggest taking it to WP:3RRN. Ad Orientem (talk) 15:52, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hyderabad

Permanent semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by IP users. Since this is a featured article, it must be permanently semi-protected like Kolkata to avoid IP vandalism. Many times, disruptive edits by IPs take long to be detected since this article is very long. Vibhss (talk) 19:17, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Freeze‎

Request full protection do to constant editwarring to add disputed material. The user(s) trying to add the material are refusing to discuss it on the talk page. Argento Surfer (talk) 15:24, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Automated comment: @Argento Surfer: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 15:28, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Declined. There's no reason for full protection. The disruption is coming from socks, both of which are now blocked. There might be a need for semi-protection in case there is more socking, but in my view, we haven't reached that point yet.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:42, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alabama gubernatorial election, 2018

Semi-protection: An individual or group of individuals, including two registered accounts and an IP user, continually make edits with no source or an unreliable source.

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:13, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Young and the Restless cast members

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Immediate resume of disruptive editing from page's latest year-long block. Continued removal of mass-content without support of sourced support, and is borderlining fancruft editing by anonymous editors. Page continues to receive long-term blocks, due to these types of edits, and I believe an indefinite protection will help forgo this type of disruptiveness. livelikemusic talk! 12:52, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Aşk-ı Memnu (TV series)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Two registered users revert-warring. No attempt to take it to talk. I am gong to initiate a talk page discussion, but, since this has been effectively being waged since February, a day or two's FP would probably help this process. — O Fortuna! Imperatrix mundi. 13:13, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Almost all of my contributions are being reverted by one editor. I have asked for help within Wikipedia without resolve. StephenTS42 (talk) 15:59, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Defense Rebuttal: The editor above this comment is the reason for this request. Has gone so far as to invade and vandalize my sandbox. An now this editor is leaving rash, unreasonable and false accusations here. I don't know what forum shopping is. Please help! Thank you!——→StephenTS42 (talk) 21:50, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Please use diffs to prove claims of vandalism—that's a serious accusation—and generally pay attention to what is linked for you in replied text. Otherwise, please pursue dispute resolution: such as Third opinion, Dispute Resolution Noticeboard, or other dispute resolution options. Thanks. El_C 22:29, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In response to the sandbox issue, I attempted to add "nocat" to a template for userpages in the user-sandbox. I quickly self-reverted it, but the edit was reverted by the user, before blanking the page. (Diffs: original edit self-revert revert back blanking of page.) —JJBers 23:22, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Columbia University

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Multiple I.P.s are edit warring with users in reference to the "official name". One user has posted on the talk page, the I.P.s have refused to comment there and instead engage in an edit war. Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 04:19, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The editor who has reported this has been just as guilty of edit warring and non-participation in Talk so I think that it needs to be full protection, mutual blocks, or mutual warnings. ElKevbo (talk) 04:47, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The only difference is I've reverted it twice, the I.P. has been doing this for multiple days. My only reason is that the original version should be used until a consensus by the other two (the main arguers here) or others can come to a consensus. Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 06:39, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Actually not enough disruption for semi-protection. Find other venues, and actually find multiple reliable sources concerning the official name. Lectonar (talk) 07:15, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: vandalism. I was adding sources to the article when I noticed some false entries, most characterized by someone sneaking in changing Wisconsin to from milk to beer and then using a source that said milk. I don't know how long that went unnoticed. Removed out right entries that were clearly false rather than changing the ref and claim like Maine that was based on an prank that when it got on the article became essentially an advert. Also there has been a small uptick in unregistered users vandalizing the page with false info (with no sources of course).FusionLord (talk) 15:54, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The same IP has vandalised this page twice. Although it may seem not much, I believe this vandal could use different IP's to vandalise. For strange reasons, this IP has made no other edits. I've issued a final warning but don't think it appropriate to have him blocked just for two edits.

Barack Obama

In the Legacy section, the first sentence is misleading: "Obama's most significant legacy is generally considered to be the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which went into effect from 2010 to 2020." While the provisions in the act take effect over the course of that time-span, the wording implies that the entire effect of the act will end in 2020. Perhaps it would be better phrased with "gradually" as: "[...] which went into effect gradually from 2010 to 2020." Further improved might be "[...] provisions of which entered into effect from 2010 to 2020."

I would make this request on the talk page, but apparently it is also protected against IP edits. (This seems a bit excessive, by the way.) 108.202.198.41 (talk) 16:04, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Prison Break (season 5)

I asked for the page to be get temporary semi-protection due to persistent disruption from IP editors, however, that problem is now over. The article was instead given pending changes, which makes it difficult to have the article up-to-date as you have to wait for someone to accept the changes. There's several vigilant and responsible editors (including myself) at that article and we're all capable of reverting vandalism ourselves. It would serve the article better if the pending changes was removed as the reason for original request for protection is no longer an issue. Thank you.

Declined—On the face of it: fair request. But on closer examination: you haven't tried the article talk page at all (applying edit summaries such as: see talk, wherein, you explain what they did wrong), or really engaging with these new users beyond such edit summaries as removed edits by person who clearly doesn't know what they're doing. That may be so, but simply semiprotecting the page and scaring them off, intuitively, seems like the wrong move. El_C 12:02, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm tired of trying to explain things to ip editors they never engage in discussion on talk pages and never take a hint from edit summaries. This isn't just today, this has been going on for a long time now. Several different editors, ip and usernames who just insert complete clutter and fan speculation without any sources whatsoever.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, List of PlayStation Vita games (M–Z), List of Naruto video games

Permanent semi-protection: Persistent IP disruptive edits and vandalism. An IP starting with 2804:431:b724 and 2804:431:b725 has been consistently making disruptive edits and vandalism on various Naruto game-related pages. Maybe more, it's hard to tell, since the section half of the IP keeps changing. If look at the history of these three pages, however, you'll notice that this has been going on for over a year now, if not even longer. The Storm 4 page was even semi-protected before because of it. But since the IP user is now back after a short break, I request just permanently semi-protecting these pages.

But on closer examination: you haven't tried the article talk page at all (applying edit summaries such as: see talk, wherein, you explain what they did wrong), or really engaging with these new users beyond such edit summaries as removed edits by person who clearly doesn't know what they're doing. That may be so, but simply semiprotecting the page and scaring them off, intuitively, seems like the wrong move. El_C 12:02, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The protection log on the template you linked in the section heading shows it was protected by Shubinator. I would be happier if all DYK templates were protected. The reason being, is that we've seen within the last year good-faith changes to DYK templates by non-admins have messed up the cascading process. Also, it's probably not best for the process to bypass DYK discussion and ask here to change one of its templates.— Maile (talk) 12:27, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a new editor User:CindyRoleder (already has 100 edits) who does not add edit summaries to any of their edits and does not use the Talk page to discuss major edits. I and another editor have left a message for her on her Talk Page to use edit summaries, in general, and article talk pages to discuss edits since she is new, but this has not worked. On the article specifically, me and another editor have already reverted her a few times due to lack of explaining and discussing edits. I even created a discussion on the article's talk page and pinged her to get her attention on where to discuss edits. The changes on the article are becoming daily now for 5 days already, and I tried to comprise a little despite the short comings. Help!

@Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: I'd guess you want the article protected, so have edited the request accordingly. As for the request: I agree there is edit-warring (imho not enough to warrant full protection), and I have watchlisted; there seems to be a more than slight chance that a discussion might prove useful and people will refrain form reverting back-and forth (the article was not very heavily edited over the weekend).

I'm glad to let you know this is not the case. For what reason would I not be a genuine user? What difference would it make to the point I'm trying to make? If you check my log you will find my account has been around since August 14th 2014. Furthermore, if this even would be a problem, I would be glad to provide all accounts and IP addresses I make edits under. This account split is due to Wikipedia not allowing users crossing over between the different language based sites before circa 2014. I am a well known user on the Swedish Wikipedia. All the best!

Club Penguin Island

Pending changes protection or Semi-protection: Persistent vandlism (such as this edit) and occasional unhelpful good faith edits (such as this edit). Of all edits made starting on April 4, only two edits which were not reversions of unhelpful edits have been made: (this edit) and (this edit). Every unhelpful edit was performed by an IP or new editor. For this reason, I would suggest semi-protection, except that the occasional good edit sometimes comes from an IP or new editor. Likewise, I would suggest pending changes protection, except for the high edit count. However, I think that the page should be protected somehow to avoid persistent unhelpful edits. Noah Kastin (talk) 01:08, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I realized a few points that I forgot to mention in my initial suggestion:
  1. The first helpful edit I mentioned (this one) was made by an IP editor. This is largely what the pending changes suggestion is based on.
  2. All content reversions of unhelpful edits were made by autoconfirmed users, except for this content reversion. Note that the user who did this content reversion also wrote the content they reverted in this edit.
  3. Club Penguin Island recently came out, beginning on the same day that Club Penguin ended (see Club Penguin#Club Penguin Island). As Club Penguin Island apparently just replaced Club Penguin, Club Penguin Island seems to be suffering from negativity by players who preferred Club Penguin to Club Penguin Island, which in turn may cause unusual amounts of unhelpful edits to the Club Penguin Island page. This may mean that, once Club Penguin Island has been out for a while, the anti-Club Penguin Island sentiment may decrease, the unhelpful edits may decrease, and the page protection may no longer be necessary.
Hopefully these few points should help provide useful background for the proposal, and assist in making a decision.
Noah Kastin (talk) 04:48, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Like you, I was unsure whether to apply semi-protection or pending changes (or no protection at all). I would actually say the editing rate is on the low side for semi-protection. The recent uptick in edits over the past few days is mostly the result of two or three users. For now, I've applied pending changes protection to the article – we'll see how this goes, and feel free to let me know or re-report here if you feel that it is not working. Mz7 (talk) 04:56, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Mz7, for protecting Club Penguin Island!
Also thanks for letting me know that "the editing rate is on the low side for semi-protection"; the protection policy says that "Pending changes protection should not be used on articles with a very high edit rate", but I didn't know what "a very high edit rate" counts as.
I will make sure to let you know if I feel that the protection is not working.
Thanks again!

@Ymblanter: I'd like to assume blocking both will block the topic as a whole (which has been repetedly re-created as unambiguous advertising). Historically both a user block and page block are done in tandem, under admin discretion, but User:Muhsinpms has some recent valid non-vandal edits.

Speaking of which, Revision 776373548 needs RD1 suppression as well. CrowCaw 17:28, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rochester Institute of Technology

Temporary semi-protection, maybe two weeks given the editing pattern. An IP-hopping vandal has spent weeks periodically visiting this page to attack one of the school's residences. The behavioral tipoff is that if you say they're violating a specific policy, they will ignore your concern, revert you, and falsely claim that you are violating that policy. A range block of 129.21 could also work, especially since that geolocation proves this person is attacking via RIT's computers, but that might be a bit too much.

Question: There's a lot of editing by different IP addresss, but after reviewing each diff made by each one, I don't see where the blatant vandalism is; this all seems content related. I also see no undo's or reversions. Can you explain exactly where the issue is? Am I missing something? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:24, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Alerting requester TrendSPLEND, who was asked a question.--Mr. Guye (talk) 22:13, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Oshwah: The main problem with the article is that it is frequently edited by numerous IPs. As the article is about a popular serial, it has been vandalised many times in the past (copy-pasting from websites, promotional content etc.) and will be the same case in the future. The content has just been reverted, but the chances are strong, it will be disrupted in future also. So, the protection will at least reduce the chances of vandalising and reduce our efforts also to revert it again and again. TrendSPLEND ✉ 10:43, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vijay 61

Six months' semi-protection. This is an upcoming big-budget Indian action film. It's been an ongoing source of frustration at pending changes thanks to a constant stream of anonymous edits that are mostly neither obvious vandalism nor helpful at all. (They're almost always efforts to move preferred performers ahead of others in cast lists, add poorly-written prose about the plot, include unsourced claims about the budget, and similar unhelpful stuff.) Yesterday, I had to let an unhelpful edit stand because it would have been a fourth revert in 24 hours; just now, I had to restore several bad edits because my revert seems to have been a violation. The film's director is aiming for a release date of October 18, and I believe the only way to achieve a stable version is by semi-protecting until then. CityOfSilver 14:37, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For that matter, I'd appreciate it if the admin responding to this report could revert my most recent edit there. CityOfSilver 14:51, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done Semi'd for three months, which will hopefully be long enough for the IPs to get bored and find a new hobby. If it continues once the protection expires, re-request it—I'm reluctant to indefinitely protect an article on an international airport, as this is the kind of topic which a lot of legitimate new editors start off by editing. ‑ Iridescent 16:03, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I am not the protecting admin (who is inactive). Rather, I was lowering the protection level from full to template editor, but then realized my change did nothing but make it seem like it was lowered when it wasn't b/c I didn't realize it had cascading protection.

Unprotection: This has been under pending changes since July 2013, when Lectonar protected it on the strange grounds of "BLP violations". The article is the site of permanent academic controversies with ethno-nationalist undertones, but PC isn't suited to such involved disputes. If edit warring breaks out again or a string of poor edits from IPs/new accounts then semi can be reimposed. : Noyster (talk), 14:44, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Yes...I probably meant to use "verifiability|addition of sourced or poorly sourced content". I disagree with your reasoning for complete unprotection, though; here pending changes protection does exactly what it is supposed to do: prevent content which is unsourced, and which might be an attack or a denigration from going live; also you have some more eyes on the changes to boot. And: semi-protection is always a reaction to vandalism, whereas pending changes is proactive and sort of prevents vandalism. As usual, if another admin wants to unprotect, just go ahead. Lectonar (talk) 15:52, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My point is though that this article is not prone to vandalism, but to content disputes that only someone with considerable knowledge of ancient Mesopotamian languages and ethnicities could adjudicate. As PC reviewer I accepted a string of edits from an IP that were in no sense vandalism or personal attacks and did include sources. These soon got reverted and the article is now semi'd anyway. But this has been one of the grounds for rejecting PC2 - that generalist PC reviewers may not be in a position to tell good from bad edits in these higher-level disagreements: Noyster (talk), 11:06, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I was vandalised enough, and pending changes was implemented to avoid these vandsalism. Anyway, this is a procedural Not done, as the semi-protection superimposes pending-changes protection. Regards Lectonar (talk) 17:21, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – We have a long term pattern of IP editors coming here to make more or less the same edit in which they change an accurate statement that the BHIs "believe that they are descendants of the ancient Israelites." into an absolute statement that they are descendants. Obviously this can not be proven either way as it is a religious belief, not a fact that can be verified, so we should not make that statement. They know this but still they persist. Recent edits have tried to disguise what they were doing with misleading edit summaries.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The page was semi-protected. at that time the article was not sources. I hoped some IPs will make good edits. I requested that the protection should be lowered to pending-changes. Now I have sourced the article. And now I think semi-protection is necessary as most IP edits are disruptive.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:36, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Oshwah:, could you or another admin please review this decision? See recent article history (edit warring and likely block evasion). IPs in the same range also have a history of cite spamming and promotional editing in various other articles. I agree that article protection should be used sparingly, but the argument of "not recent" seems flawed when on and off disruption from a likely IP hopper has gone on for weeks. GermanJoe (talk) 22:51, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi GermanJoe! I did see the numerous edits made back on April 8 by the two IP addresses, but I felt that the edits happened too long ago to factor it in my decision. The article was also protected that day by ‎NeilN (which was the right action to take). Fast forward almost a month later, and I only see that a few edits have been made (albeit, disruptively). I felt that the rate of disruptive editing at this point in time didn't warrant protection of the article. However, I'm more than happy to leave this request open for other administrators to evaluate as well. If another administrator believe that protection is necessary, by all means - please feel free and apply them :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:01, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:NeilN Can you explain how that is copyvio. The match is only 19.4% and has been converted into own words. It is relevant information and should be included in this person personal life. NZ Footballs Conscience (talk) 01:53, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the match to article it is referencing is only a 8.3% match so even less of a copyright violation. [1]NZ Footballs Conscience (talk) 01:56, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - by way of an edit filter this is part of the protection system now (c.f. Wikipedia:Protection_policy#User_pages), also as it is designed for editors to place on their pages without transclusion this is designed to have no "content".

2017 NFL Draft

Extended protection: Semi-protection isn't working out as well as a high volume of edit conflicts are occurring. One user, Trickeyfitz (talk · contribs), has been performing a high volume of conflicting, not giving everyone else a chance to put in information for the draft. Only those who are members of WP:NFL would be allowed to edit the article as the draft is still in progress. Slasher405 (talk) 19:22, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @Slasher405: You want to block new editors from constructively contributing to an article? Seriously? NeilN talk to me 23:48, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@NeilN:: I'm so sorry. There has been absolutely a flood of edit conflicts at the 2017 NFL Draft article, because it's been a big-hit event as of lately. Things are starting to get Rocky here, and I'm so sorry to be all this early-wording. Slasher405 (talk) 23:53, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reduce to template protection: As template editors can edit editnotices, I see no reason for this to be fully protected. It is no longer used in the MediaWiki namespace. – Train2104 (t • c) 22:22, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotected Looks like part of a failed initiative. NeilN talk to me 00:07, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@NeilN: It's still used in some editnotices (see Category:Pages with editnotice Romeo notice) so it should be template-protected. – Train2104 (t • c) 01:10, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Train2104: All those templates are barely used. --NeilN talk to me 01:13, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
