User:TheGoofyGolfer (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Remove Semi-protection Request for Userpage to be Semi-protection was due to an IP user continuously vandalizing the page, however that user is currently neutralized and is under a one year editing suspension and since then there has been no incidents of vandalism, therefore the protection of the page is moot and no longer necessary.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An IP has made repeated attempts to remove an image from this article. It is from a single static IP and continued even after warnings and attempts to discuss have been made. The IP editor refuses to engage. Dates of removal are May 8, May 17, May 28, June 1, June 2, and today. The edit is questionable is apt to get the image speedily deleted if not caught quickly and has been challenged by other editors. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 00:27, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lucy (2014 film)‎ (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Requesting that the article be semi-protected for at least a few days, as opposed to one day. There is an IP who keeps returning to the article to engage in WP:Disruptive editing and who is disregarding a hidden note about the matter, and the talk page discussion regarding it. If the IP won't engage in talk page discussion about the matter, the only alternatives I see is for me and other editors to keep reverting the IP (which keeps the article disturbed due to WP:Edit warring), the page being protected to stop the IP, the IP being blocked, or us letting the IP have his way. If the IP were engaging in clear-cut WP:Vandalism, I'd report him to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, but he isn't...except for perhaps this change to the aforementioned hidden note.

Three Gorges Dam (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hello, I have requested a reduction in the protection of this article (It's now archived), it was reduced from semiprotected to pending change protected, but I don't think that it meets the corresponding policy, specifically, the page isn't undergoing vandalism, and the aforesaid policy says: “Pending changes protection should not be used as a preemptive measure against violations that have not yet occurred”. I request that this page is changed to unprotected, if then we find persistent vandalism then I'd support and possibly propose it myself to be protected again, otherwise this protection is against Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, let's not apply protection unjustifiably. Regards. QrTTf7fH (talk) 21:11, 30 July 2014 (UTC).[reply]

The protection level was just lowered on a trial basis 2 days ago, and you're already asking for it to be dropped completely? Also, PC doesn't keep anyone from editing it. Jackmcbarn (talk) 00:57, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; no point on requesting to quit eyeing on IP editors. Have you forgotten that, if that rule prevents us from protecting Wikipedia, we should ignore it? --George Ho (talk) 10:38, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The protection policy (Which I already quoted) explicitly discourages using pending changes protection in a preemptive way; that is it, exactly what is being done here. I repeat: This is Wikipedia policy. The appeal to WP:ignore all rules is your opinion since it talks about “improving or maintaining Wikipedia“, and it's not an objective truth (And again, against the Wikipedia policy) that using pending change protection preemptively constitutes an improvement. QrTTf7fH (talk) 16:16, 1 August 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Does it not constitute "maintaining" Wikipedia either? --George Ho (talk) 17:10, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't make an assertion about that; if you that it does, then it's you the one who has the burden of proof on it. Of course, I may choose to disagree and argue your point. QrTTf7fH (talk) 19:25, 1 August 2014 (UTC).[reply]

I'm not using it preemptively, there has been vandalism and disruptive non-autoconfirmed editors hence the indefinite semi protection. I would have been quite justified in leaving it at semi, however instead I chose to make use of a new type of less restrictive protection. My default when you made this request would have been to replace the semi not unprotect it. Let's give pending changes some time and see if we can instead unprotect it.

Indefinite pending changes: This article has been infrequently edited for years before semi-protection, which is inappropriate.

George Ho (talk) 16:39, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Apologies for the delayed response. In this case the vandalism (actually promotion of a non-notable self-published book) was spread out over multiple articles by multiple IP addresses. It was protected for a brief period, and the activity resumed right after the first protection period expired. We can experiment with PCP here, although in my observation and experience, it created needless work for reviewers if none of the anonymous edits are constructive. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:08, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Attempts to discuss have failed, eg at User talk:72.211.200.91 and User talk:72.211.205.119. Dougweller (talk) 09:30, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary full protection. A couple of editors, who acknowledge that they don't understand current policy language concerning A7, have decided to rewrite key language that has been in place for years and has enjoy broad consensus. The claim consensus based on a brief, unpublicized talk page discussion with negligible participation. This is inconsistent with both policy and practice, but they're determined. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 18:45, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, three editors have agreed on the proposed content and one has reverted three times without articulating any actual objection to the content itself in the talk page discussion. Usually, one person is not allowed to block consensus, especially on such an uncontroversial change.- Mr X 19:17, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So what? If you're going to make a non-trivial change to an important policy page, you need to publicize the discussion, allow ample opportunity for participation by other editors, and allow consensus to be assessed by an uninvolved editor, preferably an admin. You did none of that. The language in question has been in place for years and enjoys broad consensus. Changing it to an incoherent text one of you made up a day or two ago shows no respect for the community. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 19:25, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per User:MrX. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 19:19, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Hullaballoo Wolfowitz: First, it is a trivial change to clarify the intent. This is important for new 'new page patrollers' who are frequently confused as to the qualifying criteria for CSD. Second, there is no such think as "enjoys consensus" that automagically freezes content. Third, no, policy changes do not necessarily need to publicized. Fourth, you have yet to explain what you mean by "incoherent text". It's perfectly coherent.- Mr X 20:35, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you think that policy changes don't need to be publicized in advance and be supported by WP:CONSENSUS, you fail basic WP:COMPETENCE standards for editing policy-related pages. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 21:07, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AVOIDEDITWAR much? HW, you should know better. In any case, what makes you think your version would be the one protected? VQuakr (talk) 20:42, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's policy language that's been in place since since 2008, has enjoyed broad consensus, and hasn't been the subject of any serious, appropriately publicized change discussion. "Policy is what we do", not what a couple of editors who don't understand long-standing slide through without giving any kind of meaningful notice to the community.

Ridiculous request. I'm a template maintainer and for some reason (that they have yet to explain) this user has reverted a change that has already been applied to several of the most widely used templates regarding the deprecation of hard-coded image sizes per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images#Size and Wikipedia:Image use policy#Displayed image size. No need for protection, the user just needs to either explain why they think this template is an exception to the guidelines, or stop reverting this harmless change. -- Netoholic @ 02:32, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the "breaking edits and forth-and-back reverts" concerns you.

(Personal attack removed)

You were engaged in disruptive editing on this very same template and was reported to WP:ANI for it. (You promised to be cautious but you didn't keep it, as evidenced by your edits today.)
And the part about being the maintainer of the template is false; your first edit on it was on 9 July 2014 and is the beginning of the same disruptive behavior for which you were reported to ANI.

Codename Lisa (talk) 03:53, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am a general template maintainer - I move around and help to update and standardize many templates. My change to this template was cautious and fully in keeping with the guidelines I linked above.

Dianne dela Fuente (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This article is a target for perennial vandalism. Its subject is the Filipino actress Dianne dela Fuente. It is frequently co-opted by IP editors trying to turn it into an article on Mexican actress Diane dela Fuente. The article on the Mexican actress (last version prior to deletion here) see-sawed back and forth between bios of the two actresses. The Mexican actress's article has since been deleted for lack of references and notability; but in what is possible "good-faith vandalism", if there is such a thing, IP editors continue to replace the notable Filipino actress's page with an article on the Mexican actress; most recently at [24].

As the comment at the top of the page makes clear, there's no objection to an article on the Mexican actress, if she can be deemed notable, but all we are seeing is the defacement of the article on the Filipino actress. TJRC (talk) 19:10, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection required.

It took me a long time to work out that the incoming details (this footballer signing for either Sheffield Utd or Sheffield Wed) are a complete hoax.

Declined, JUst not seeing this as frequent or persistnet enough to protect a user talk page, sorry. Courcelles 14:38, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is so strange. The administrators in Commons and Meta-wiki thought differently, and even I did not ask them to do it. maybe because I am very active there but not here. You encourage a troll instead of supporting a fellow administrator in Hebrew wiki. Hanay (talk) 14:47, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I actually only see one vandal edit this year. I don;t support trolls, I';m obliged to local protection policy (even though I think it is too weak here) which says "User talk pages are rarely protected, and are semi-protected for short durations only in the most severe cases of vandalism from IP users." Italics are mine, and it is the reason for declining here. It just doesn't look severe here, though I haven't looked on Meta or Commons (which have different protection policies to enwp anyhow) Courcelles 15:01, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Look at User:Hanay all of the IP adress is the same troll. Hanay (talk) 15:09, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He vandalised your user page once and your user talk page once. Now, your user page I can protect, and just did. But unless I'm totally blind, I only see one IP edit on your user talk page in the last couple years, which isn't enough to protect one. Courcelles 15:15, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My user page was vandalised 5 times. The troll knows how to change IP adress. Now you will see that she is going to vandalised my talk page. Since I am not very active here, the chance that an anonymous will ask me somthing is so rare, so no harm is to protect it Hanay (talk) 15:21, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hanay, how about this compromise: if you say your en.wiki talkpage is rarely used, would you agree to have it soft-redirected to your Hebrew Wikipedia user talk page? That way, all messages would go over there, and I would be happy to semi-protect the page afterwards since it will not be meant to receive messages. If that works for you, please provide me with a link t the page where you want the soft-redirection to be targetted to. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 16:22, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Salvidrim, It seems as a good idea. We can try it, and if I will see that it cause problems, can I revise my decision? If I can, see a link to my talk page in He:wiki here. Thanks Hanay (talk) 18:54, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Indefinite semi-protection: Since the last protection level was lifted on 28 July 2014 after BLP violations, the article has continued to suffer from a large number of BLP violations. I counted up at least 8 acts of vandalism alone on the day of 11 August 2014 (UK time), including some grossly offensive vandalism. There have been a number of previous temporary protection measures put in place due to persistent vandalism and BLP violations. Regrettably those temporary measures have not stopped the persistent vandalism. McIlroy is currently ranked as the World Number One golfer and as one of the highest profile sportsmen in the world this article has suffered from persistent violations.

Temporary Admin only protection Content dispute and edit warring by User:Chealer. User:Chealer is continuing edit warring against a book by User:Pundit (an administrator) who has written a new book about Wikipedia whose contents are disputed by User:Chealer. However, User:Pundit has asserted that COI does not allow him to ethically intervene. Requesting 14-21 day Admin only protection in order to start a new RFC to determine if a topic ban against User:Chealer is needed, or, if User:Chealer's 120 (one hundred twenty edits) from the last 2 weeks should be reverted for bias and edit warring. Four editors have tried without success to engage with User:Chealer on the Talk page, including admin, and User:Chealer has asserted dissent against needing to follow WP:BRD and WP:Lede. An RFC was foreshortened by an editor who did not know that the RFC posted there was time sensitive, though 4 responding editors were in SUPPORT of an extension for Admin only page protection for at least 2 weeks (two other editors requested eval of a topic ban against User:Chealer).

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

Semi-protection Some of the new/IP users are claiming that Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham Hotspur included a loanback to Seattle Sounders FC. However the sources are saying that he will stay with Seattle through the 2014 MLS season. So it could mean two things. Either it was indeed a loanback or the transfer won't take effect until 2015. If there wasn't anything mentioned about a loan, then it would mean the transfer won't take effect until 2015. I think this needs to be semi-protected for a week. – Michael (talk) 22:37, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection. Persistent vandalism. I recently was just successful in the discovery of some sock puppetry on the page, and despite the ban of the sockpuppet and related accounts, there is no way to ban the IP addresses, which it is a certainty it is the same person every time. The IP's (it's really only one person, using two different IP's) keep removing the image for no reason whatsoever and similar facts on the page. Increasing this page to be semi-protected and thus only be edited by auto-confirmed users would drastically help me out and not have to keep policing the page from trollish vandals ruining the page.

Full protection please. Current is TE level (with 650k transc's). I request this for self-protection (I have TE access).

Latest edit to the template was Dec 2013 [48], by user:Trappist the monk. Not by Johnuniq, who had build the module (I'm not interested in the actual rights of Johnuniq). I'm fine that this WP trusts me for TE edits, but I ask that same WP to help me in preventing bad TE edits. (As for the modules, the topic is split). -DePiep (talk) 21:22, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I add: I can't find the edit, but for that December 2013 edit (big move into module), Johnuniq asked an admin (U:Trappist the monk answered). I'm sure, any next time this Johnuniq asks an admin for such an edit, no serious admin will question. So far for protection against bad edits. -DePiep (talk) 21:46, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that we're supposed to be able to trust template editors to not mess up templates like this. If there are any template editors that we can't trust to do this, then we should probably remove their template editor rights. Also, this is getting a little long for RFPP - probably best to continue this on my talk page if you want to. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 22:35, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine talking here. The point is, as I said: trusting me is ok, now I ask for help in what you expect: when I'm heavy-editing in related pages (subtemplates &tc., as mentioned), I can make a mistake and save a 650k template. While there is no need for this. Even Johnuniq (TE non-admin assumed) can ask for an admin action and be fine with that. (now I need to find that Johnuniq edit with that question, sigh). Again: nice that enWP trusts people like me, but in this case enWP could help me for the same intention, and skip that trust. When you write: trust template editors to not mess up templates like this - that's exactly what it is about. I could mess it up by mistake, however much you trust & trusted me. -DePiep (talk) 23:12, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't follow this. It turns out that the job queue plays its own tune and doesn't seem to care much when convert is updated, so even if someone blunders it's probably not a great issue. I do not want the modules protected until after a disaster shows that it is necessary. Perhaps some personal Javascript cleverness could offer DePiep safety (I have a Greasemonkey script that disables the Save button when I'm logged out). Johnuniq (talk) 00:00, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Full protection: They were many incorrect edits by various users since he joined Arsenal. Alexis Sánchez played in pre-season friendlies, but these games don't count as a league match. However, people think otherwise & constantly make bad edits. What is more, the player currently plays for Arsenal, which makes him a target for some rival supporters of the Premier League teams. When the league started, some fans (or fanboys/trolls as I call them) from Tottenham made some incorrect edits, e.g. that he joined the rival team or put irrevelant sentences. I'm tired of these notorious vandals and probably the rest of serious editors can agree with me. Cheers. User:BartSmith

Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: This is not a typical request, and so I'm trying to gather some consensus rather than enacting the protection myself. I have been watching this article for some time now, and have noticed that it is subject to extreme sprawl, and not in a good way. We now have almost a complete synopsis of the entire series, in one article, with highly variable prose quality. It is my understanding that an established editor, ProtoDrake, tried to clean up this article two years ago but was ultimately frustrated at the avalanche of uncoordinated edits coming from non-autoconfirmed users. He has detailed some of this on the article's talk page. It does not help that many of these contributing editors are probably fairly young. While there may be merit in allowing these users to contribute, and thereby keep them interested in the project, ProtoDrake is right in pointing out that we should be aiming to maintain this article at comparable level to similar articles. I think there could be merit in longer-term sprotection - a year at least I would think - to give this article a chance of getting into decent shape. However, I should also mention that I have no expertise in the area and will likely not be a great help in fixing the article up. I have no means, for instance, of verifying that anything in this article is in fact accurate, and I'm not familiar with sourcing guidelines for TV series. With all that said, please give it a second pair of eyes, or more. Thanks. Samsara (FA • FP) 06:50, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proboynow3 (talk) 10:10 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Declined It seems to me that this has the character of an edit war rather than vandalism as you describe it. While the insertions aren't always, reliably, or consistently sourced (at least one refers to a TV programme, FWIW), it seems some of your own edits present a religious text as truth, which also falls short of our standards (e.g. this edit). Protection is not to be used to support your own side in an edit war. Also, since the edit war proceeds very slowly, there are no grounds yet for serving a warning to either party. However, seeking consensus on the contents of the article would be a better approach, and I would encourage it. There is already a reasonably worded complaint on the talk page that has not received a reply. Samsara (FA • FP) 03:51, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite full protection Persistent vandalism/sock puppeting. There is a concerted effort by IP addresses in the same subdomain (89.110.*.* and 92.100.*.*) to censor/remove criticism from the "Modern Assessments" section. Page was previously temporarily protected in Dec 2011 for this reason by actions from the same subdomain.

Bolliger & Mabillard (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: IP constantly changing roller coaster models to "Giga" even though Bolliger & Mabillard does not have a "Giga Coaster" model. Roller coasters that are over 300 feet are considered "Hyper Coasters" according to B&M. Requesting for semi-protection for 1 - 2 weeks.--Dom497 (talk) 19:14, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification The roller coaster enthusiast community calls any roller coaster that is 300' in height or taller a "giga-coaster". However, the manufacturer that's the subject of the article does not refer to these rides by that term. Instead, they use the model name "Hyper Coaster", per the manufacturer. Also, RCDB, considered a very reliable source by consensus of WikiProject Amusement Parks, which helps improve articles involving both parks and the rides within them, also uses this term. Attempts to get the IPs to talk on the article talk page have failed. --McDoob AU93 21:47, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Within 2 hours of page protection being lifted, an IPv6 editor submitted this deliberate misinformation. Note for example they change the airdates for "The Dress" to September 19, 2011 and "The Genius" to February 7, 2012, though TVGuide confirms the previous dates (May 23, 2011 and October 10, 2011) were correct. No explanation or source from vandal. Please also note that all the Gumball articles were protected for persistent vandalism, so if any are set to expire, I'd like to ask they be renewed as well. That would include: The Amazing World of Gumball, The Amazing World of Gumball (season 2) and The Amazing World of Gumball (season 3). I'm not sure what a reasonable amount of protection would be, but given how quickly the article was vandalized after protection was lifted, I think protection for a longer term might be warranted.

It's already been semi-protected for a week, then a month, then three months, in the past, and IP vandalism has been slow but constant whenever that protection has been absent.

List of Oggy and the Cockroaches episodes (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Flagrant misuse of page protection to subvert WP:BRD, so that user's POV (the current version of the article) is protected. User illegitimately reverted one of my edits on the basis that I didn't explain my edits on their talk page, even though I started a discussion on the article's talk page. User hasn't responded to this discussion in spite of urging from myself and from admin Smalljim. The "dispute" involves my removal of trivia from episode synopses, which I first did in April 2014, and which they keep restoring, although they haven't yet explained why in any coherent way. My arguments are based on existing guidelines like MOS:TV as well as on my extensive experience editing TV articles and participating in the WikiProject Television community. I don't know if sanctions are appropriate to be issued for this user, but I'll mention it, since they are deliberately trying to game the system. User has attempted to force POV into articles before, using IP socks along with their logged-in account. See March 12-15 edits. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:33, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not an admin, but the level of vandalism lately has been pretty low. I don't exactly think going back to semi-protection is a good idea, given that the discussion on the talk page had a consensus to have PC, which has been working well for almost two years. Pinging @Callanecc: and @George Ho:. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:50, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: Where there is long term vandalism, from memory there was only one non-autoconfirmed account whose edits were accepted in the last 50 edits, it shows that PC is largely ineffective at preventing the vandalism and is creating more work not just for regular editors on the page but also for reviwers generally. Long term histories of vandalism can and are taken into account when deciding which type of protection to apply. But if you still want it to be PC protected I'll restore it and see how it goes. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 13:03, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably for the best to restore PC. Many of the edits that were unconstructive were done in good faith (removing plot points from the article, though this violates WP:SPOIL). Or perhaps, as a compromise, we can try a shorter time of semi-protection, maybe two weeks at the most, then PC can be brought back, and it will be possible to compare the amount of activity.

Since you're new here, I'll assume you're not familiar with WP:AGF. I had exactly nothing to do with that block, an admin independently did a CU and blocked for sock-puppetry. As far as this page protection request, you're supposed to contact one of the protecting admins directly before making a request here. This is for if the protecting admin is inactive or you have already asked them. Start with your request there, as there looks like there's two protecting admins, they both seem active, and you haven't attempted contacting them yet.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Last protection period ended and unsourced or poorly sourced information was immediately added again. Also, I have a theory of why (but it may not be important in terms of protection); See this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_ECTnSZb34 The person who made had the account 'Fun Realms' which was blocked for promotional edits. But if you watch the video, he's actually editing Wikipedia to purposefully make a point of putting false information on Wikipedia. I feel that the viewers of this video are doing the same because 'monkey see, monkey do' effect. I feel that this may warrant a longer protection period than last time, too.
