01 August 2024

Renaissance World Tour

Reason: The page has been the target of repeated vandalism from anonymous accounts in the past few hours, making it crucial to implement protection for the page in order to prevent any additional instances of vandalism. Newpicarchive (talk) 14:23, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 19:26, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Candida hypersensitivity

Reason: Assertions backed by solid references to the medical literature were repeatedly deleted by user ScienceFlyer. Not in line with Wikipedia's policies. 178.51.222.215 (talk) 22:17, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Multiple IPs (all from Iran) making disruptive edits by constantly removing the turnout swing and not responding to talk page or providing edit summaries AlexBobCharles (talk) 08:21, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: COVID-19 related, protected over 4 years ago. I cannot think why anyone would care to vandalize a page about this ship anymore. Seaparrot876 (talk) 17:12, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vision of Love

Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Sockpuppets of Jaislejorge64 have been vandalizing the article for three months. Heartfox (talk) 02:57, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:49, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We choose to go to the Moon

Reason: Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing by IP. No sooner does the protection expire than he is at it again. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:33, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bell hooks

Reason: Slow persistent edit warring between multiple users over the capitalisation of bell hooks' name (stylized in lowercase) when it begins a sentence. Wikipedia policy (MOS:PERSONAL) and strong consensus of editors of other pages of persons with names stylized in all lowercase (e.g. k.d. lang, maia arson crimew, etc) are in agreement: when such names begin a sentence, they should be capitalized.

However, I have edited this particular page accordingly twice now; the first time it was changed back by an IP user, and the second time it was reverted by User:Rasnaboy with the claim that "person's personal preference overrides WP:MOS" (which may be a decent rule of thumb, but is quite specifically incorrect in this instance).

There were additional intervening edits flipflopping that capitalization from other users.

As I have no desire to dip my toes into even the shallow end of the edit-warring pool, I would request that

  1. the page be edited by someone previously uninvolved to correct the incorrect lack of capitalisation at sentence start (and only there), and
  2. the page be protected to prevent well-meaning idiots from continuing to "fix" the uppercase "B".

Thepsyborg (talk) 06:07, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:18, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tommy Robinson (activist)

Reason: 92.233.82.113 is the forth troll account that has griefed his talk page / article this month. tommy has now been called, without proof, 'an international terrorist', 'self-proclaimed nazi', and more. someone even demanded publishing videos of child porn in order to confirm he combatted grooming gangs, which is obviously absurd and bad faith trolling. this repeated defamation in such a short notice mandates a raise in protection for his page.. NotQualified (talk) 18:42, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – already semi-protected. We do not usually protect talk pages unless there are major issues. Black Kite (talk) 18:58, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Floriano Peixoto

Reason: IP sockmaster is making contested edits to multiple articles, refusing to discuss on talk pages, and persisting in edit warring. He has been blocked 3 times last month and he did block evasion over and over. This page protected once because of him. At this point, I request a few months of IP protection to safeguard the article from potential vandalism.

See one of his sock:

Candida hypersensitivity

Reason: I am requesting the unprotection of the Wikipedia article on Candida hypersensitivity to allow for necessary updates and improvements. User @ScienceFlyer has restricted contributions from knowledgeable editors who can provide the latest scientific information on the topic. The article currently contains outdated information, and removing the protection will enable contributors to include accurate, peer-reviewed sources from reputable scientific journals and websites. This is essential for aligning the article with current scientific understanding.

Furthermore, the current version may infringe upon the Digital Services Act (DSA), which emphasizes transparency and accountability in digital content. The DSA requires that platforms actively combat misinformation, especially in areas like health and science, to ensure users receive accurate and reliable information.

Unprotection will also foster collaborative editing, allowing the community to address misinformation effectively and ensure compliance with the DSA’s requirements. This change will significantly enhance the article's credibility and usefulness. Thank you for considering this request to unprotect the page. 178.51.222.215 (talk) 06:51, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This page was protected under the auspices of the pseudo- and fringe sciences contentious topic and cannot be unprotected at this venue; someone other than you would need to appeal at WP:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 07:05, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The current page "Candida hypersensitivity" contains scientific and medical misinformation. If this issue is not resolved within 48 hours, I will initiate a Digital Services Act (DSA) infringement procedure. 178.51.222.215 (talk) 10:40, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Donald Trump/Response to claims of bias

Permanent extended confirmed protection: Informal informational page, not a talk space. Has already been used at least once as a talk space (by an IP editor), and anyway any modifications to the page should be restricted to editors with at least some experience. This is very similar to the situation with Talk:Donald Trump/Current consensus, which has been EC-protected for years. ―Mandruss ☎ 18:26, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 19:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hence my reference to Talk:Donald Trump/Current consensus. It was not protected because of actual disruption but because of potential disruption. No request for protection was even necessary; an admin did it solely on their own initiative. And there has never been any objection to its protection. ―Mandruss ☎ 19:09, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Brianna Wu

In "Early life and education", the article says "In 2003 she enrolled at the University of Mississippi". The source for that paragraph as archived (https://archive.ph/ek0sE) states that she "dropped out for good in 2001".

I suggest changing "In 2003 she enrolled..." to something like "She enrolled at the University of Mississippi, studying journalism and political science and writing for The Daily Mississippian, but left the school in 2001." Or of course, add a source for her enrolling in 2003. Elizabeth Internet (talk) 06:56, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. As it turns out soon after posting this, viewing the full log of that page did reveal it was already protected before but then unprotected shortly after with a very good reason. I did some searching of possible previous titles and indeed those were already protected. Meanwhile the situation of my user talk page is like the opposite of this, it had been protected after being hit several times by an LTA and I requested that it remain unprotected for specific reasons, yet later on when another round of attack bullets came, some another administrator came crushing in, protecting my page again but with a strong reason.
So I guess you can't take one policy application scenario and apply it to another that is very similar with just slightly different circumstances?... — AP 499D25 (talk) 15:00, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Russians in Japan

I want people to know more about Russians in Japan, which I'm part of since I'm a Japanese citizen with a partial Russian ancestry. By adding slightly few more or maybe even just one more, and writing a lot more about us, I think it's more than enough to make people understand a lot about what Russians in Japan is. By the way, the page dedicated to Russians in Japan is very outdated when I checked it just to let you know, so please let me edit it at bit. Trust me when I say this, I'm sure I can make it look a lot better(not saying that your edits on that page wasn't helpful and bad). Thank you so much!Don't worry!

Mark Felton

Reason: The subject of the article regularly makes edits (via IP address) which then have to be reverted by others due to being contrary to the results of earlier COI edit requests: e.g. recently [3], [4], [5]. See also, edits under a previous IP address here [6]. Some form of page protection would seem desirable to prevent IP addresses from editing the article directly. (Copying in Melcous who has had previous experience on this article.) Axad12 (talk) 14:30, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Having had the chance to look further into this issue, there is a recurring problem that has been going on since 2020 where various IP addresses, claiming to be the subject, either (a) make an edit contrary to COI policy, (b) make an edit contrary to COI policy and directly afterwards make a (rather redundant) COI edit request on the article talk page, (c) make a COI edit request and then make the edit themselves within an hour or so of making the request, or (d) make a COI edit request and then after it has been declined (they are almost all declined) make the edit themselves. These sorts of edits have been frequently reverted and the user has often been asked not to edit the article themselves. So, as per my earlier request, page protection to prevent the subject from editing the page via IP addresses would be appreciated. Axad12 (talk) 19:59, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doping_in_China

Reason: Dear Administrators,

I am requesting page protection for the "Doping in China" article due to ongoing biased edits that appear to be part of a coordinated effort to sanitize the page and portray the country in a more favorable light. These edits are consistently removing well-sourced information about doping incidents in China and replacing it with content that downplays or outright denies these issues.

These changes violate Wikipedia’s Neutral Point of View (NPOV) policy and seem intended to obscure the reality of doping incidents in China, thus misleading readers. Given the repeated nature of these edits and the clear agenda behind them, I believe that page protection is necessary to preserve the integrity of the article.

I suggest temporary or semi-permanent protection to prevent further biased modifications and to ensure that only well-sourced, neutral content remains on the page.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Josh Shapiro

Reason: Shapiro's page has received unusually high levels of activity recently, which could be suspicious given that Kamala Harris is expected to announce her VP pick soon, and he is seen as a front runner for said pick. The ratio between his current page activity his nominal page activity is much greater than that of other potential nominees, such as Mark Kelly and Roy Cooper. Previously, one staffer working under Shapiro edited his Wikipedia page in a way that was extremely favorable towards him. (https://lancasteronline.com/news/pennsylvania/pa-capitol-staff-being-paid-by-taxpayers-to-edit-wikipedia-for-elected-officials/article_a0ea105e-6ddf-11e9-847e-1b5fc3790fc9.html) Some suspicious edits have been made to the page, such as an anonymous account removing the mention that he served in the IDF for a very flawed reason. I do not mean to cast aspersions or to suggest that some sort of coordinated campaign to make Shapiro look good is occurring, but a lot of this activity is suspicious. I think it may be appropriate to increase page protection. Supercavitated (talk) 03:34, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite extended protection: Persistent Vandalism. Vandalism keeps happening to this article 1keyhole (talk) 15:55, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: There's no need for indefinite, or ECP, but I would like to see a further period of semi-protection here. I protected the page last time, and I'm looking at getting involved, so I'm passing this to someone else. Some IP edits are OK, but there's various BLP issues, and the right-wing POV-pushers are increasingly turning up. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:57, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know the details in this case but the usual situation with sports articles is that IPs make updates before sources confirm that the situation has happened.

Harrison Butker

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent edit warring/nearing vandalism. Multiple editors are attempting to force a POV phrase into the article and it has had to be corrected over and over. I don't know if it matters, but the disruptive editors are either anonymous or under a hundred total edits. They have been told not to do so in many edit summaries and refuse to listen. The page had to be protected two months ago due to constant vandalism and I think it needs it again. TanRabbitry (talk) 18:23, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I am unwilling to give your side in this content dispute an advantage over the other. There has been no discussion on the talk page apart from a declined edit request – you should not be conducting consensus in edit summaries. I would also note that your favored term seems to have been removed from style guides of some reliable sources. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:22, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PFC Ludogorets Razgrad

Reason: Constant IP vandalism/changes to team players - anonymous IPs maliciously changing information every other day. The changes are malicious, as it is clearly written that the 'nationality' should be which country they are, can or have represented.

London Philharmonic Choir

Reason: Hi there,

It's been flagged to the Choir's Board of Directors that a malicious edit about my role title (from Chairman to Dictator) has been made on the Choir's Wikipedia page. On further investigation, we have found several previous malicious edits since I took over the role in 2018. All of the edits were made by an unregistered user and we have our suspicions about who they might be. Thankfully, your moderators have picked up on all but the recent one but we're concerned for the Choir's reputation if this person continues to make these changes. Please can our page be protected to prevent this? Tkmbartley (talk) 11:27, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected indefinitely. I do see issues that took a while to address through the years, but recent and overall activity is too low for a higher (than WP:PC) protection level at this time. El_C 12:17, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for adding the protection. Please can you switch the role from Dictator back to Chair as this is still unresolved. Tkmbartley (talk) 12:34, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, Tkmbartley. You can make use of the edit request feature, also making sure to attach a WP:CITE from a WP:RELIABLESOURCE to your request. Sorry, but as the acting admin I am rather precluded from editing the page (per WP:UNINVOLVED). Thanks and good luck. El_C 12:42, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, I misread that Dictator as Director for some reason. I see you've changed that, Tkmbartley, which is fine. But any edits that do not involve obvious vandalism like that, the conflict of interest guideline would apply (please review). Thanks again and sorry. El_C 12:53, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Arslan

Reason: User relentlessly changes the page and denies all forms of communication. His previous summaries were in Turkish instead of English. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arslan&diff=prev&oldid=1233143450 (TRS: "I fixed the false information, Don't you ever dare to touch it again!"

After IP block evasions, he created a single-purpose account called Erich rommel and performed the same edits as his previously banned accounts (banned for sockpuppetry), Heinz Guderian123 and Roberto Walker1453 were his old accounts. All accounts were altering all articles related to 'Arslan' and attempting to present this Turkish word as Persian. This appears to be a very serious obsession that has been ongoing for months.

Gaza genocide

Reason: The page falsely claim 25,000 women/children deaths in Gaza, quoting sources from March/Febuary. In May 2024, UN had revised those numbers to 12,000, I have attached sources to my edit request in the discussion page.

In response, one of the editors both deleted the discussion: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Gaza_genocide&diff=prev&oldid=1238760329 And changed the discussion privilages so even the discussion on editing of the page cannot be accessed.

In my edit, I have attached UN official report. Sticking with false figures despite official reports is unethical, and I believe the right change was unproffessional, and stemmed from political objective. 87.71.190.23 (talk) 15:40, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq: post this edit by Sammi Brie its vandals all around (specifically WP:CASTE based warriors).
These include: [17], [18], [19], [20], [21] (this user should be banned considering their disruptive caste-based edits all over en wiki), [22]/[23] (a very offensive caste slur is used in both of these edit summaries).
The purpose of these edit wars by the IPs/sock accounts is to disparage certain castes by associating them with a Mughal empress. Gotitbro (talk) 06:45, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Gotitbro: I removed my previous decline now that I've understood the issue more.

Aleksandra Ekster

Reason: After the previous protection expired, the pseudo-Ukrainian POV pushers returned to replace Kiev with Kyiv and Russian by Ukrainian.

@Ymblanter: I only have a faint recollection of the Kiev/Kyiv edit wars. I see that article talk refers to WP:KYIV. However, I've had a very hectic time off-wiki and am incapable of finding the wording in WP:KYIV that supports "Kiev" at Aleksandra Ekster. Also, is there a clearer explanation about the Russian/Ukrainian dispute other than "confusing nationality with ethnicity"? Johnuniq (talk) 08:51, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected indefinitely. As WP:ARBEE. The page was protected for one year 2022-2023, and for one year 2023-2024, so I've set the protection not to expire this time. Sorry, I somehow overlooked the comment above 'till after protecting and logging. Hope that's okay. @Ymblanter and Johnuniq: courtesy pings. El_C 16:42, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. @Johnuniq: I am on holidays now, but I am pretty sure the last RfC on Kyiv was closed by stating that Kyiv is post-1991. It is often being stretched to post-1917, which is a grey area, but Exter was born before that anyway. Russian/Ukrainian is a content dispute in which sides usually do not care to bring non-partisan (or usually any) sources, and the last IPs did not even try.

So are you asking for full protection, then? Is a week full protection likely to make a difference for a dispute that's been going on since Nov? Maybe protection isn't the measure and a more in-depth report to WP:AE or WP:ANI would be better...? El_C 20:28, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One editor will likely be blocked or banned soon. That may be enough. Thanks for looking into it. --Hipal (talk) 20:37, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. Feel free to relist if the edit war flares up. That definitely can be remedied by protection. El_C 20:52, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Donald_Trump

Reason: This talk page appears to be protected. I am not trying to edit the main article on Donald Trump, only to ask a question on the talk page.

Given Lukestark (talk) 03:40, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lukestark. The lead section is a summary of the content in the body of the article. That being so, as the content in the body of the article is cited, it not necessary to repeat the citations in the lead section. The WP:Teahouse is a good place to ask questions like these. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 03:54, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of awards and honours received by Muhammad Yunus

Reason: Dear admin,

I am writing to report you of vandalism regarding the page "List of awards and honours received by Muhammad Yunus" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_honours_received_by_Muhammad_Yunus#).

A user by the name Johnthedon69 has been adding inaccurate and inflammatory text such as "Help Israel to kill Palastanians" to this article. The subject, Dr Muhammad Yunus, has recently joined the interim government of Bangladesh with the goal of restoring democracy and false information such as this can seriously jeopardize his work and harm progress.

I have tried removing the false claims but the user keeps restoring them. I urge you to look into the matter and ban the user and lock this article from further edits.

Hawkesbury, Ontario

Reason: On 6 January 2023 at 20:14, a user with IP address 50.100.114.7 (no username) snuck in a false nickname for the town of Hawkesbury, "Birthplace of Andrew Alberts-Scherer". This went unnoticed until July 13 2024 when I randomly decided to look up this Andrew person, and discovered they are not a person who is significant to Hawkesbury's history or culture. The official Town of Hawkesbury website also has no reference to this person. I removed the false nickname; but as of today, the false nickname has been added back SIX times, by username Oliverfoster27 as well as another user 209.171.85.162. Someone is doing this on purpose intentionally, and I don't know why or what their intention is. I am asking for your help to protect this Wikipedia page and stop this repeated vandalism I have had to continuously undo. I am not sure how else to stop this. Thank you.

Declined I suppose this is abut the content in your sandbox...so my suggestion is to you let this run via the process laid out at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. If it is accepted, protection can easily be lifted. Lectonar (talk) 08:38, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so even though I am an autoconfirmed user, I have to go through the process of getting the article confirmed? The protection that's currently on the name is no longer valid. BOITOTHEBOI (talk) 09:20, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It was a gentle suggestion, as writing an article is a difficult undertaking at best, especially if done the first time. Going via AfC is a good thing in multiple ways: you gain experience, you get feedback from seasoned editors, and it may help avoid mistakes which might get the article deleted rather quickly. A quick link to WP:YOUTUBE also seems to be appropriate. I stand by my decision not to unprotect, but if another admin wants to do so: be my guest. Lectonar (talk) 09:53, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TRCRF22 (talk) 15:42, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @TRCRF22: Sorry but I can't see any mention of "Flynn" on article talk and there has to be some explanation before applying protection for this sort of problem. The most recent IP used an edit summary of "Michael Flynn is not a democrat he's a Republican, he was also a republican when he was arrested". I have no idea what is correct but if there is a repeated problem, the issue needs to be explained on article talk. That should mention what the three references say (do they mention D or R?).

Note: this IP is exactly the one that I mention in my last edit, and he obviously wants to start an edit war over it. (No, I don't assume any good faith for an IP who is almost certainly the LTA SwissArmyGuy, based on his behavior here. A clear personal attack against me from IP user who is supposed to be new, completely off topic, and he doesn't even know what ArbCom is and what the word "remedy" means. All very typical for SwissArmyGuy.) — Mike Novikoff 14:17, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This man was charged by the British government with child pornography, he admitted to being a child pornographer, and expert witnesses testified to such.

2024 United Kingdom riots

The title is misleading - there have been none in Wales.

Talk:Tim Walz

Temporary semi-protection: I understand that talk pages and the article page are granted under very exceptional cases and I believe this is one of them. The talk pages by ip users constantly seem to only have one edit even in responses with the same topic being reintroduced instead of adding replies to the prior topic already discussing this. I think semi-protection would allow conversation to continue in a way that is best to resolve these issues while opening dialogue to the most amount of people possible on this high-profile page. Wozal (talk) 13:24, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq - I looked back and saw your original deny request. I think activities has grown since then; often with their first edit being a reply to the talk page. The editing style almost feels as if it's coordinated. Are there any solutions you can provide to ensure that the page can be better maintained without being flooded by the same questions since the multiple topics make it harder for the consensus to be shown even when answered many times over? Are there any notes by an admin (which I feel is the only way that most would listen) that can be added to curtail some of this? Wozal (talk) 13:34, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ramesses II

In 1974, during the transportation of the mummy of Ramesses II to Paris for restoration, Egyptian authorities issued a valid passport for the ancient pharaoh.

This dedication to a tried-and-true formula continues to attract between 500,000 and 1,000,000 visitors annually, showcasing its enduring appeal in a rapidly changing industry.

Talk:JD Vance

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Similar to the other VP candidate page; this page seems to also be in constant motion by ip users who have never edited before but have found their way into the reply section of the chat. There are constant posts regarding the same topics instead of it being condensed into one topic which makes conversation trickier to have because a lot of time is spent by other users discussing things which have already been discussed and settled. The talk page shows a link to an off-site chat which showcases that attempts were made to override the long-standing consensus of only listing notable medals, instead of all of them. The link seems to be trying to overturn long-standing consensus of proper use and some users seem to be calling other users for their edits. Wozal (talk) 16:48, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ad Orientem Article is difficult to police. For example, all these edits have been added in violation of ARBECR and were not picked up on time. CTOP are discretionary and ARBECR & 1RR apply to this article since 2020. What I'm asking for is only a technical action to help other editors. — kashmīrī TALK 23:35, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kashmiri The article is semi-protected indefinitely and I am not a fan of raising the protection level of pages with little or no history of disruption. The talk header for ACDS restrictions (now CTOP) was added by Doug Weller. I will happily defer to him if he wants to bump the protection to EC. -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:53, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq There is an existing source (not added by me) in the Infobox. Should I remove the DOB entirely? — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 10:55, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Paper9oll: According to Google Translate, the source confirms Feb 2, 1982. However, the source does not look very reliable to me. If a Google search cannot find anything else that is not a copy of the first source or of Wikipedia, I would be inclined to remove the DoB with edit summary that the date has been challenged and the source is not sufficiently reliable. If it is reinstated, get advice at WP:BLPN and/or WP:RSN. Johnuniq (talk) 11:01, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Coleman

Reason: This is extremely frustrating. My page is being vandalized by supporters of a women who I am suing for defamation, who has falsely accused me of rape (we had a 5-year, 4-month intimate relationship). This is not the first vandalism. The lawsuit is still ongoing, but as it gets closer to resolution her supporters (I believe) are harassing me anonymously. Her lawyers have twice tried to get me to settle in the last year, I have refused, and the harassment has increased. I just deleted the edit of user https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2603:7000:C900:B8D:69C3:3C23:AE5C:7EC8 - but this edit has already cost me work. Please protect editing of my page (which I did not start myself, but which affects my ability to work. I can easily prove that this woman is lying, and her lawyers are trying everything to keep this case from going to a jury trial. I can provide evidence that she is knowingly lying, if needed.

E and your not Jason or Nicolle or Adria and if Adria would play anything here or say she is lying then herself and she is not with him and never will because he Jason Momoa is not getting another divorce after just having one and getting in another marriage commitment and that with Nicolle and they are not breaking up or getting a divorce because of an Adria with false misleading information of fake media of someone who came and added it up and others followed the fake for their making. 178.24.242.228 (talk) 01:32, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GraziePrego: Regarding the most recent IP edit, is "Grover's" correct? Do the three references assert "anti-transgender organisations"? I'm sure it is an ongoing issue, but the article was created in March 2024 so it's not "years".

Change "and advocating that parents should have more voting power than non-parents" to "and suggesting that parents should be able to cast votes on behalf of their younger-than-voting-age children."

Reason: The subject of two pages The Keys to the White House and Allan Lichtman directly called for edits to the pages concerning them to remove critical material (material which had been there for a couple months as a result of the Wikipedia community's own research and independent reporting) on his YouTube stream this week, which has resulted in a swarm of edits to both pages to remove all of this material. This has made it untenable to permanently restore the previous material and reverting is difficult due to the deluge of edits; it also seems like a bad faith act to encourage edits personally in this way.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

Reason: Please change the protection level to allow flagged edits so that I can make factual corrections (the box office gross figures are inaccurate).

If I recall correctly Legobro99 was edit warring (refused to discuss on talk page) and accused me of sock puppetry because I choose to edit without logging-in and getting an account. Legobro99 was later blocked for edit warring (and then his request to be unblocked was denied when he was caught sock puppetting on the Transformers One article, not the Rise of the Beasts article). -- 109.77.201.136 (talk) 18:45, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is not protected. Favonian (talk) 17:54, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Might I suggest creating an account, IP Editor? perhaps the article is not relevant enough other than the sockpuppetry so that enough editors care to hawk it? I will check the box office numbers to be sure YodaYogaYogurt154 (talk) 20:38, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"perhaps the article is not relevant enough" which I argue is a good reason then for the article to allowed flagged edits and see more activity.
As for getting an account, you are welcome to suggest it, people frequently do. Wikipedia is an open encyclopedia that anyone can edit, I am not required to have an account, and so I choose not to have an account. There are some occasional minor downsides but there are upsides.

LabPlot

Reason: Request indefinite autoconfirmed or semi-protection. Dlaska, directly affiliated with LabPlot, wrote up a series of comically terrible promotional edits which obviously violated numerous guidelines and policies. When MrOllie undid these, the editor in question and/or their affiliates began using IPs to edit war their way into forcing through the (again completely unacceptable) changes, cast aspersions on MrOllie as "biased" and a "non-contributor" who should be "blocked", and sealion about the merits of their edits. When this strategy didn't work, one of the contributors to LabPlot wrote on the official blog this absolutely unhinged screed demonstrating no idea of or care for how Wikipedia is supposed to work, actively encouraging their followers to brigade, and even linking to a tweet which compared MrOllie by name to the Gestapo. Since then, more IP edits have been made trying to push these asinine changes. It's clear that there's a concerted, bad-faith effort by the LabPlot team to use sock- and meatpuppets to push through ridiculous, promotional changes to the detriment of the project and that they have every intention of pushing them through whenever they can in the hopes that nobody is looking.

Abid Aziz Sheikh

Reason: I raised this issue a week ago, but no action was taken. These IPs, likely linked to a single editor, continue to engage in disruptive editing by replacing content with poorly worded versions. They've also attempted to add copyrighted material before. DTSheikh was blocked for similar behavior, and they might be connected to the subject of the article. My options are limited: I could report these IPs to ANI, but how many can they block? I could let them proceed with their changes, which could introduce copyright violations and poorly worded content, another addition to a long list of problematic WP Pakistan articles.The third option is to keep pushing back, but that risks being blocked for edit-warring. I've already tried discussing this on the talk page with no success, and they're evading their block anyway. The safest option for me is to request protection, which would force them to register as a new user, allowing me to pursue an SPI. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 21:57, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Culture of England

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Article was last protected for a full year in August 2023 due to socking from banned user User:Lam312321321. Within a few hours of that protection expiring this week, the first of two IPs began restoring some of Lam312's edits to it.

I made a protection request yesterday but it was rejected as more of an SPI issue, given that the IP had denied being a sockpuppet and said that they wouldn't be edit warring over the content. But an hour after that rejection was filed, a second IP stepped in to restore all of the first IP's edits, and is now edit warring to restore one edit in particular.

And it's one of Lam312's old edits: removing File:Morris Dancers, York (26579460201).jpg from the lead. Both old socks and the new IPs have wanted to replace it with a picture of Midhurst, placing it further down the article next to a paragraph about RAF gremlins, while misdescribing this change as merely "moving" the image. The first IP was using an identical dated to 1448 with payments to Morris dancers by the Goldsmiths' Company caption as a recent sock. (A sock account: [39]; first IP: [40]; second IP: [41]). Belbury (talk) 13:12, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did restore my edit last night, as I was under the view that if the disucssion here was closed, then it's OK to restore the edits, as nothing has been proven if I was a sockpuppet or the two users (Lam and Spicesareyummy). I am clearly wrong and won't be restoring such edit.
I went through the edit history, and restored that image, yes, because I thought it looked nice and was a shame it was deleted. In fact, I restored it simply because it represents a more idyllic view of England, with the historical buildings in the background. I was planning on writing a bit in the foklore section about Morris Dancing, something I have an interest in, going into detail about the folklore dance. As you can see by my edits there, I actually used a different image after without the caption text.
Please remember that not everyone who checks the edit history of pages are sockpuppets, and not every IP is one! Have a read of Wikipedia:Don't be quick to assume that someone is a sockpuppet. 81.78.239.241 (talk) 13:32, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And may I also add, that nobody is removing an image from the lead - the image is in the architecture section! I simply moved it to the appropriate section! But sure, I'm a sockpuppet and a banned user for doing this. 81.78.239.241 (talk) 13:42, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tennis at the 2024 Summer Olympics

Reason: I am requesting full page protection for at least one year, if not indefinite, for Tennis at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Consistent edit warring and removing/moving of information in the article without consensus. The disruptive editor claims it goes against WP:OLYMPICS guidelines, which have no fixed and outlined layout for SPORT at YEAR Summer Olympic pages in their guidelines or MOS. Tennis project's Olympic page layout is standard and within consensus. This warring has been going on for a full month. No attempts to reason on either of the project's talk pages or this page's talk page was any fruitful. They falsely accuse others of violating the guidelines when they are the ones causing the disruption.

Diffs with edit warring and disruptive editing: [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48]

Declined I don't think it is really unclear for the average reader, as the "tank" in question is "filled with nitric acid"...while I admit that you could fill the combat vehicle with nitric acid, I think it's highly improbable that that was done and led to the explosion.

Maon Kurosaki

Reason: The article was indefinitely semi-protected over a year ago owing to repeated disruptive editing; specifically, adding anti-vaccine statements. It has been over a year since then and I was wondering if it would be safe to trial unprotection to see if the disruption will no longer be an issue. If it returns, the indef semi can probably be reimplemented. The protecting sysop, Courcelles, has not edited since April, hence why I am bringing it up here. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:40, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think not. Because this is a contentious topic that attracts anti-vaccine statements, and this is the silly season (election year in the United States) where all manner of fringe nutcases at all political levels are doing everything possible to modify factual narrative to comply with fringe viewpoints, this is probably the worst possible time to request unprotecting such an article. There is no point in conducting a trial experiment that is likely to create needless work for the community.

That’s a disambiguation page, you thinking of some other page? -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 03:19, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's likely Patil (title), which is EC protected due to sockpuppetry disruption last year. I've noticed that articles about Indian castes and titles tend to attract a lot of POV pushing to the point of sockpuppetry to evade blocks. It's probably best that this remain protected, although we might consider reducing it to semiprotection.
@Peter Jinbin: in the meantime, you are free to make edit requests on the talk page if you see anything that needs changing. Even if we reduced it to semiprotection, you still wouldn't be able to edit the article because your account is too new. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:42, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Do you mean I have to request and then wait for others to approve and if not I need to come back and discuss and back and forth tomorrow and tomorrow after tomorrow to make just one edit? I am just an anonymous volunteer and I do not have easy anonymous internet connection. I do not know what is your criteria for "a reason for relaxing the protection". Is your criteria the criteria of Wikipedia? I believe my reason is one of the reasons that Wikipedia allows anonymous edits. Let it be. Bye. 202.40.137.199 (talk) 10:44, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A good reason for relaxing the protection would be if the likelihood of vandalism or otherwise unconstructive edits to the article due to external issues (such as, say, a disputed election) is minimal.

New Hollywood

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An anonymous editor has repeatedly removed dozens of films from the list in the article. It's not really clear what the reason is (the editor has described the sources as "vague" and "ambiguous"). Whether a particular film is an exponent of "New Hollywood" is open to challenge, but the correct approach would be to start a discussion on the talk page and state why you disagree with the film's inclusion, along with sources backing up your position (or alternatively an explanation as to why you don't think the sources used by the article are reliable. Some of the films removed (such as "Serpico", "Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf" and "Last Tango in Paris") are so ingrained in the New Hollywood moement that it is hard to envisage a valid sourceable position that considers them otherwise. The editor should take the issue to the talk page and hopefully semi-protection would encourage them to do that. Betty Logan (talk) 12:39, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I protected the article a couple of days ago; that was one thing. But there's been about three disruptive edits in the last couple of days. That's not appearing to overwhelm the page. Daniel Case (talk) 21:51, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A lot of unhelpful IP additions. JMHamo (talk) 20:56, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Don't see much, if any, reverts since protection ended. And "unhelpful IP additions" aren't vandalism if they're meant in apparent good faith. Daniel Case (talk) 21:48, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pepe Julian Onziema

Reason: Vandals regularly change pronouns in the article from he/him/his to she/her/hers, misgendering Onziema, a trans man. Some also insert phrases from Onziema's famous Morning Breeze interview. This has gone on for a long time, but picked up in frequency starting in mid-June of this year.

Safi Rauf

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – In the past couple weeks, 5 established editors (myself included) have had to remove disruptive edits from multiple new accounts and IPs. Two new SPAs have been identified as sockpuppets and blocked already. Disruptive edits have been focused on removing well-sourced accusations of misconduct from the subject's page. The article should be protected temporarily to mitigate the issue. —Ganesha811 (talk) 22:45, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Three IPs edit-warring to say that a building protection order was "thanks to pressure from Save Oasis Swindon", with no source for that. 82.30.50.220 and Nmrobinson007 have both identified themselves as having COI connections to the group, and been advised not to edit the article directly.

These edits are motivated by nationalist reasons, aiming to discredit or misrepresent her work and identity.
