Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – We are getting a lot of poor edits from anons relating to a recent announcement by the article subject of his relationship and proposed marriage. It is mostly WP:NOPTNEWS stuff but umpteen people are having to clean up after them. Can we have a break until Monday, please, by which time the Sunday newspapers will have digested everything?.

Surigao (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Appears to also be edit warring by an IP hopping user. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive242#IP editor reported by User:P199. Sjö (talk) 07:35, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked.: 156.40.252.120/31 and 71.127.53.216 blocked for disruptive editing. If the disruptive editing continues, please re-request. The rationale here is that blocking disruptive users, when feasible, is strongly preferred to protecting a page, because it only inconveniences the editor(s) causing the problem. —Darkwind (talk) 09:06, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How Can I Keep from Singing? (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An anon seems to find it amusing to change the lyrics and other material in this article. It earned the anon a short block at first and then a two-week block. Perhaps a longer lock on the article will encourage the editor to find a different venue to express their creativity. Protect until the end of May. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:54, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. The wording of the protection policy implies that protection intended to prevent vandalism by one specific user is not permitted. I'm certainly not aware of any precedent for protecting a page to deter one specific vandal, especially one with a static (or at least long-term) IP. If the vandalism resumes, the IP can be blocked again for a longer term. —Darkwind (talk) 08:13, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Musa I of Mali (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Look at its history. For some reason, people love to mess up this page, one way or another. I'm not sure just how much was meant in good faith, but it's been going on for at least 2 years, always by anons. I don't like the idea of historical figures' images being tarnished or factually compromised: Musa I's name was not Burger King. Meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 23:16, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Marvel Super Heroes (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Several similar anon IPs are making the same inaccurate, non-constructive infobox edit that a register user other than myself has been reverting. But the registered user is close to 3RR while the ever-changing anon IPs blithely continue their blitz. The article itself confirms that the IP edits are not accurate. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:13, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Normally we don't protect talk pages from IP addresses, but this seems to be a good exception and it's been protected before. Alternately, if you compile a list of IP addresses causing the disruption, I can look into a range block. The history of the talk page suggests that two separate range blocks might be needed. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:02, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edward Snowden (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection - This is perhaps an unusual request. Snowden, of course, is a highly contentious high-profile subject, and a BLP, and the article is being subjected to high-speed, high-volume editing by both sides (pro- and anti-Snowden), so much so that it's almost impossible to tell if there's edit-warring going on. Even if there isn't any definitional edit-warring, the speed and volume of the edits, and the mess the article talk page is in, lead to the inevitable conclusion that no one is seriously attempting to discuss matters and arrive at a consensus. I feel comfortable in saying that I'm neutral in this conflict: Even though I did edit about one specific issue, the reliablility of one anti-Snowden commentator, I understand both sides of the issue and can see value in both of them. My primary concern is that the article represent that best of Wikipedia: neutral, factual, informative and well-referenced - and it's my opinion that a medium length time-out - perhaps two weeks would be good - might convince the two sides to talk to each other to get an article that everyone can accept, even if no one is entirely happy about it. I ask that the admin dealing with this request put a bit more effort into examining the situation than is normally given to RfPPs, because the situation is complex, and the POVs are strong. My sincere thanks. BMK (talk) 04:30, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – I can see your point, but the reverting isn't out of control. If you believe that a certain passage isn't being adequately discussed, why not open a talk thread and try to get consensus. You have not been active on talk yourself, but you could help by nudging people to reach agreement. EdJohnston (talk) 02:26, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I know that RFPP is not really set up for dialogue - it's not so much the reverting I'm concerned about, and certainly not the tiny bit of the article I was involved with editing, but the speed and volume of the edits from both sides. They're all just banging away at the article, and I thought that more talking and less editing might be helpful - but I knew temp full protection was a long shot. Thanks for taking a look.

Musa I of Mali (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Yes, I asked for this not too long ago, but I want a second opinion on this. My request for indef semi-protection was recently declined by Darkwind yesterday for not enough recent activity to justify protection; since then it has been vandalized 4 times [3][4][5][6] by an IP user, making me believe this long-term pattern of vandalism will not let up.

It's an obscure page, and I want to ensure that it stays factually accurate—if I were a reader looking at the article I wouldn't have the background knowledge to discern whether the names, dates, and places were accurate or not, and since nearly half of it's history is a revert, I'd question its factual accuracy. Over the last 200 edits in the past year, 30 counts of vandalism have occurred by roughly a dozen IPs. To me, semi-indef makes sense, but that's just my opinion. My goal is just to make sure the page remains factually accurate, and this is my best guess at how the page's integrity would be preserved. Please take another look and tell me what you think.

Semi-protection: Lots of people are editing this page and there are alot of spelling errors due to the edits done by them. Raashid Alvi is politician and a famous man in India and South-East Asia, so kindly get this article semi - protected as soon as possible. Regards Shakeeluddin (talk) 10:40, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. No edits by IPs in the last few days, and no vandalism, so no grounds for semi-protection.

Unprotection of one version of protection: Currently protected via pending changes and semi-protection. Both is redundant. I do support protection for this page, as it's a highly visible page that's an inexorable risk of vandalism. But the other protection outweighs the other; Semi makes sure that no IP users/brand new users can edit. But pending protection is the protection that is meant to review edits by brand new users to prevent vandalism. I just suggest that one of the protections be revoked, and leave it to the reviewing administrator to decide which one. Thanks. Tutelary (talk) 22:51, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined No vandalism, and the recent removals by Mwalimu59 (talk · contribs) are based on a plausible concern that unreliable sources are being used (the source cited for the material removed in this edit is an advocacy group, which is not an independent reliable source. Page protection does not exist to give any editor an edge in a content dispute, and the use by Genoasalami (talk · contribs) of another editor's disability as a weapon in an edit war is an unacceptable personal attack. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:00, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

it isn't a personal attack, it's an explanation for his obsessive behavior.

Arthur Freed (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Long-term Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Shirley Temple, actress and diplomat, recorded in her autobiography that she was molested by the Hollywood producer Arthur Freed. This noteworthy accusation also appears in numerous newspaper citations. Since 2011, this accusation has been constantly removed by an unregistered editor. From a contribution to the article's talk page in 2014, it seems the editor is Freed's grandson who is 'President, Arthur Freed Productions'. This suggests family and commercial reasons to remove the accusation - though no WP-worthy reasons to do so are supplied. Hubertgrove (talk) 17:08, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The country was indeed called the Federal Republic of Germany, so that this is a content dispute, not vandalism. Given that so far nobody else vandalized the article, I am inclined to decline, but will give the last word to a second administrator.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:47, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was a content dispute that was resolved years ago (see the article talk page). The article is also feature status, and the contest final takes place tonight, so no doubt it will appear on the main page. So protection for that sake might be a logical step to take, even if a further content dispute needs to take place. Wes Mᴥuse 12:49, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

According to West Germany the name is a common English term for the Federal Republic. The win in 1982 was for the Federal Republic, but the article itself uses the common name "West Germany". The win in 2010 was the first win for Germany since their reunification in 1990. And it is that what is being explained in the article content, which has always been a target for IP's "vandalising". And when they get informed to check the talk page, they just ignore and continue to engage in warring with other editors. Wes Mᴥuse 12:55, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've just rephrased the particular footnote that may be the dispute. Hopefully the rephrasing should provide a better explanation. Therefore I hereby withdraw my request for semi-protection. Wes Mᴥuse 13:15, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent tag bombing and tag spamming by an anonymous IP user editing from different IP addresses. User:Ergative rlt and I have attempted to communicate with the IP user in our edit summaries by telling him/her that placing individual tags is of little or no help to improving the article. I also asked the IP user to be more specific in pointing out the problems with the article, and to discuss the problems on the talk page. However, the IP user has made no attempt to communicate directly with us apart from indiscriminately placing tags all over the article again and again. Judging from the IP user’s actions, it seems to me that he/she is not genuinely interested at all in contributing to the improvement of the article. I have reached the limit of my patience in dealing with him/her. I request for the article to be semi-protected.

Semi-protection Continued churning related to "philosophy game". --Trovatore (talk) 20:31, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I should explain a tiny bit more — not sure how much people know about this. A couple years ago, someone made the observation that, if you pick a random WP page, choose the first link with a few enumerated exceptions, do the same on the page you get to, etc, you usually end up at philosophy. Ever since then, there's been a cohort of annoying editors who either try to make this observation remain true, or else try to make it false. The way it usually shows up in the logic article is, either they switch the order of the links to mathematics and philosophy (the first two links), or they add another link in front of those. The problem with just reverting them is, you don't know whether you're actually playing their game, and moreover, it just gives them attention. Semi-protection might also give them attention, but at least it would stop the churning. --Trovatore (talk) 20:46, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: At least six acts of vandalism in the last few days. Previous vandalism in April and earlier this month in May. The protection was lifted in January this year after persistent vandalism. A view of the public log for the page shows there has already been a large number of previous temporary protection levels put in place for the article. As a very high-profile UK politician (Deputy Prime Minister of the UK) it is clear that temporary semi-protection has not been sufficient to halt the persistent vandalism. There has been excessive violations of the biographies of living persons policy and I feel this article now needs to be semi-protected for a long period.

Yes, well calling Ms. Knowles "J-Z's 100th problem", is indeed an attempt to be humourous, and wildly inappropriate, is hardly worth an indef block. As most (all) of the offenders have close to top level warnings on their talk pages, a further edit by them will result in likely at least 31 hour block. How long would you recommend fully protecting the page? A day, a week? For what?

Protect this version. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternal_derby_%28Romania%29&oldid=608565285

Cupa Ligii was a friendly competition. Read this article. http://www.gsp.ro/fotbal/liga-1/nae-si-onofras-umiliti-de-ciini-in-ghencea-povestea-celei-mai-dure-infringeri-a-stelei-in-fata-lui-dinamo-211247.html

After finishing the 1999-2000 season the Red and White (Dinamo) were crowned champions followed a nature friendly competition: Cupa Ligii.

Mihai Stere, Dinamo player: Mihai Stere recalled for gsp.ro Ghencea memorable game in which even managed to score the first goal: "I remember the match with Steaua. Demoted with Farul and went to Dinamo. Signed with them for 6 months and was first my match. Even if playing in the League Cup, a match between Steaua and Dinamo can never be considered friendly.

Steaua used only player who was in trial (like Daniel Munteanu from Universitatea Cluj, Alin Savu from CSM Resita or Alin Biţiş) at Steaua, they have never signed with Steaua, or signed contracts in future years (Mirel Rădoi next year, and Marius Onofraş in 2010).

These players have never had signed contracts with Steaua, automatically were unable to play in a official competitive match, because they had no license to play for Steaua, and the referee had no way to start the game in this situation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.26.239.114 (talk) 16:51, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cupa Ligii is an official cometition organized by LPF. LPF statute - (http://www.lpf.ro/public/images/uploads/Statut-LPF-2014.pdf) DLM 1989 (talk) 20:17, 14 May 2014 (UTC +2)

Cupa Ligii was an friendly competition in 2000, not a official, because in an official competitive match a player is unable to play if he have no signed contract, Steaua used only players arrive in trial. Cupa Ligii is a official competition organized from 2014-15 season.

The article posted by you does not refer to the friendly competition from year 2000, he refers to new competition from 2014-15 season. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.26.239.114 (talk) 17:50, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cupa Ligii was an official competition and will be official, because is organized by LPF.

This statute is for 2014-15 season, not for friendly competition from 2000. League Cup from 2000 was a friendly competition where team used players arrive in trials. Read this: http://www.gsp.ro/fotbal/liga-1/nae-si-onofras-umiliti-de-ciini-in-ghencea-povestea-celei-mai-dure-infringeri-a-stelei-in-fata-lui-dinamo-211247.html Steaua user players from other teams like Daniel Munteanu from Universitatea Cluj, Mirel Rădoi in trial from Extensiv Craiova, Alin Savu from CSM Reşiţa, Alin Biţiş and Marius Onofraş. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.26.239.114 (talk) 18:28, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cas Liber, correct version is this. Read this article in the only sports newspaper in Romania. Clearly write that the competition was friendly, not official. There is statement of Stere, (Dinamo player) he says was friendly match. In this competition were used ONLY players arrive in trials like Daniel Munteanu from Universitatea Cluj, Mirel Rădoi in trial from Extensiv Craiova, Alin Savu from CSM Reşiţa, Alin Biţiş and Marius Onofraş. In an official match these players are unable to play becausethey never had contracts with Steaua. Understand?

Another thing, that user has vandalized page, erased players who scored in those matches (9, 15, 20, 22, 23, 24, 30, 35, 36, 37, 40, 41, 42, 47, 49, 50, 57, 58, 59, 60, 62, 63, 67, 69, 75, 80, 82, 84, 86, 94, 95, 97), please answer me.

Indefinite semi-protection: For some reason this AfD is under attack by trolls; three SPAs created within minutes of creation of the page making bogus "delete" !votes to disrupt the discussion, sock account also disrupted account, more probably on the way. Request semiprotection for the duration of the deletion debate. Coretheapple (talk) 15:07, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note to the admins: one of the key reasons why this particular AfD is under attack is because Coretheapple created the page as a revenge edit in his process of wiki-stalking me. No prejudice against protecting the page, because the article about a very notable and verifiable company will definitely stand; but, I just wanted you to know that the original "troll" is actually Coretheapple, who is wasting everyone's time with this AfD, just to satisfy his personal vendetta against some vague "Mister 2001" he keeps muttering about. - 208.116.141.100 (talk) 15:21, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent adding of unsourced material, likely taken from fan sites or message boards. A protection from edits from IP editors (or having them as pending changes) won't address all of the reverts necessary but it'll eliminate probably 85% of unsourced edits. Speculation will likely last all summer long so if this article could receive extended protection, it would help editors who are watching the page. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:56, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Don Benton (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Permanent semi-protection: Persistent sanitizing by (probably paid) anonymous IP editors - Last year I significantly rewrote this article which had been heavily vandalized by this politician's opponents. Hilariously, and almost immediately, his supporters then came through and also vandalized it (via sanitizing). Indeed, the sanitizing became so intense that a local newspaper even wrote an article about it (see: [[24]]). Like clockwork, every 2 weeks, an IP editor does a drive-by sanitizing of the article, which we dutifully revert within a few days. We have absolutely zero issues from confirmed editors, this is just a persistent, long-term problem with IP editors. Because all common sense indicates they are paid PR staff (the IP edits alternate between addresses in the politician's hometown and government addresses in the state capital city), permanent protection is needed since they have no reason to stop as long as he's in office. BlueSalix (talk) 03:29, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The article hasn't been edited since April, and has had three IP edits since February. Hardly enough to warrant protection. Pro and anti "vandalism" (and the term is used quite liberally by me in this case) happens on articles about politicians, and this can be handled by page watching. kelapstick^(bainuu) 11:53, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The other source is the website for one of the school's old programs. This means that both of the sources are primary sources, so it actually seems quite reasonable to remove the information.
