List of United States military leaders by rank

Semi-protection: This article is a constant magnet for childish vandalism, mainly repeatedly changing George Washington's rank from 1976 to 1776. The article needs to be semi-protected for at least six months, if not as long as one year, to discourage these repeated attacks, which are now occurring at least once every few days or so. -O.R.Comms 17:37, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Childish it may be, but the vandalism edits are so few and far between that imho, semiprotection would be overkill; I even think that pending changes would be too much. Seems to me to be a case of watchlist and revert, but I will leave the decision to someone else. Lectonar (talk) 17:46, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Political correctness

Temporary pending changes: Nonconsensual editing -- With this subject being a major issue in the 2016 American presidential campaign, this article has gotten plenty of attention. Editors are making edits that are w/o consensus (since there is a discussion on the talk page), and then end up reverted. There has been some vandalism by IPs as well. I am advocating for months-long pending changes protection as to enhance the ability to manage questionable edits without imposing too many restrictions and forcing people out of the discussion. Mr. Guye (talk) 22:47, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined There have been no edits at all for more than 5 days now, and we do not protect pages pages preemptively. If this picks up, please relist. Lectonar (talk) 22:57, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are two IPs active on this page, and as you can see they are persistent. Coretheapple (talk) 01:28, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Most recent vandalism was by one IP, which seems to have stopped. Plenty of good IP contributions. You have warned the IP vandal, which is the right thing to do. If the vandalism by this IP continues, report it at WP:AIV. If you believe this IP is a previously blocked editor, mention that when you report it.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – For over six months, the only IP edits and the only edits of some SPAs (User:Asitshouldbe, User:Contribute100, User:Lisboa100) have been to avoid describing this man - born in Stoke-on-Trent, England "with both Bajan (Barbados) and English heritage" - as an English businessman, apparently because "they" think that no-one with mixed ethnic origins can be described as English.

I have read it. I felt that a 100% vandalism rate (excluding reversions) on a BLP page, by multiple different IPs, with over half the vandalism edits taking place in the last couple of days was sufficient to warrant a request for protection. I agree that it doesn't see as much vandalism as other articles, but the point about all the edits in 2016 being vandalism was to show that this is very persistent, more so than other articles which receive a blitz of vandalism edits that dies down after a few days. If you don't feel semi-protection is appropriate, would you consider pending changes protection as an alternate? Marianna251TALK 22:37, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I had that in mind, but some ideas why I didn't even pending changes protect in the end: the vandalism edits are just that, simple stupid, sometimes outright childish vandalism; there is no agenda here to harm the subject of the article I can see, so while this is a BLP, the vandalism is not BLP-centered. I think the vandalism just happens because the author is just more or less popular with different peoople. After all, Wikipedia is (or should be) the encyclopedia that every one can edit:). Whatever it is worth, you have gained another watcher for the article. For an article that had more pronounced vandalism, plaese see Foo Fighters, which I protected today. Cheers and happy editing.

List of films broadcast by Nickelodeon

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP users are adding back movies and other TV specials airing on Nickelodeon, which a number of editors including myself having been removing in attempting to reduce the WP:Scope of what is presented. Prior to the past week, this article contained all sorts of movies and specials that aired on Nickelodeon, but are not long enough to be classified as a movie, nor a movie that has its origins at Nickelodeon. The article simply became a collection of indiscriminate information. The talk page describes what editors are attempting to do to make this not WP:IINFO, under the sections "Original movies" and "Entries that are 'out of the scope' of this list". MPFitz1968 (talk) 16:57, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support request. The article is in the process of a major overhaul, as previously it was a hodgepodge list of WP:INDISCRIMINATE entries, nearly all of which were unsourced. While the article is in the process of being narrowed down to a proper scope (and better sourced), semiprotection would help alot in preventing the IPs who keep trying to undo all of this work without any discussion. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:43, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined for two reasons. One, most of the people involved in this edit warring are auto-confirmed, so protection wouldn't help. And two, a lot of the things being reverted as "vandalism" are not vandalism - they are trivial points of style and the like. I don't see any attempts to add "abusive content".

Huns

The article says that Tacitus refers to the Huns as the "Hunnoi", which dovetails nicely with the Chinese "Xiōngnú" and is a fact found all over the internet; however, according to [10], Tacitius refers to them as "Hunos." I do not know Latin, so perhaps "Hunnoi" is acceptable in some declension, but the claim in this article that Tacitus says "Hunnoi" does not have a citation. Can someone knowledgeable about Latin check this out? The talk page is protected, so I cannot add a talk section, so I am adding it here as I will probably forget about this issue by the time the page is unprotected. --BLebow4500 (talk) 20:50, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tacitus

The article says that Tacitus refers to the Huns as the "Hunnoi", which dovetails nicely with the Chinese "Xiōngnú" and is a fact found all over the internet; however, according to [12], Tacitius refers to them as "Hunos." I do not know Latin, so perhaps "Hunnoi" is acceptable in some declension, but the claim in this article that Tacitus says "Hunnoi" does not have a citation. Can someone knowledgeable about Latin check this out? The talk page is protected, so I cannot add a talk section, so I am adding it here as I will probably forget about this issue by the time the page is unprotected. --BLebow4500 (talk) 20:50, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

6-5=2

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Requesting 1-2 week semi. IPs, for weeks, have attempted to claim that this film is based on The Blair Witch Project, heavily suggesting that the film is a copycat through a selective (and incorrect interpretation) of the references. There were also numerous examples of copy/pasting prose directly from references, like here where we see problematic and vague phrasing "based on the lines of" language, which is a selective interpretation of this reference's lead. Over these weeks, they have refused to open discussion or participate in existing discussion. In the most recent iteration, one of the IPs has added to the lead, without sufficient context, that the film takes its inspiration from the film. The semi is requested to inspire them to discuss, since they have no interest in doing this without being forced. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:21, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's just lovely, and happens to be exactly what I would do, but I am not the only person who deals with these edits (and am not interested in making it my mission here). Other editors simply revert them, leaving the newbie's question unanswered; and/or the question will sit for a period of time because no one is actively watching that Talk page. Protecting this page wouldn't penalize for or prevent anyone from seeking help with their good faith questions; it would simply force them to read the content on the page and post the question in a location where it is likely to be answered.

Foundation for Economic Education

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – An anonymous editor first used the undo button many times to revert many edits by many editors over and over, ignoring multiple warnings from an administrator until finally relenting.

Next the anonymous editor filed a Dispute resolution claim that was closed because "failure by one of the editors to address reasonable questions" as well as the recommendation to "advise the other parties that disruptive editing can be reported at WP:ANEW or WP:ANI, and that disruptive editing by unregistered editors is best dealt by requesting semi-protection" after an moderator asked for assistance, "Would another moderator please take a look at the case regarding the Foundation for Economic Education because quite frankly it is the dumbest case I've ever seen, and I have no idea what to do with it."

The second moderator who advised the first moderator strongly cautioned the anonymous editor to stop the disruptive behavior and advised me to "just ignore unconstructive talk page comments" which I followed. The anonymous editor decided that the lack of replies to their disruptive talk page comments somehow gave them consensus to edit as they saw fit. I contacted the moderator again and that moderator recommended that I "Resume discussion on the article talk page."

This is all on top of perpetually issuing completely bogus warnings to anyone who disagrees with the anonymous editor's actions.

The anonymous editor has now graduated to blatant vandalism. Abel (talk) 02:59, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

At 18:35 used 107.107.58.110 for vandalism, then minutes later at 22:04 used ‎107.107.62.140 for more vandalism. Could be multiple people, but that seems unlikely. Abel (talk) 03:13, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Because this talk page has attracted a persistent troll, it would save time for all involved to have it permanently semi protected. --Bonadeaphone (talk) 08:28, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For literally a couple years now we get regular bursts of this exact vandalsim, from varying IP addresses, cropping up every couple weeks.

Semi-protection: Page is under 500/30 restrictions currently, enforced by Special:AbuseFilter/698. Since non-autoconfirmed editors will have their edits rejected anyway it would be best to semi-protect to prevent editor frustration. Strongjam (talk) 16:57, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: This problematic page was semi-protected for six months ending Jan. 14, 2016. Almost immediately after that, anon IPs returned and no fewer than six registered editors since then have had to revert the same vandal edit.

Template:Cleanup FJ biography

Unprotection or at least reduction to TE protection (edit and move); I can't think of any reason this should have any protection at all. If "between 700 and 1200 transclusions" somehow qualifies as "highly visible", marginally, then maybe autoconfirmed protection is sufficient, to prevent anon vandals from doing silly things?  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  18:34, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: @SMcCandlish: As I understand it, you're asking for complete unprotection, but maybe also semi-protection, in which case it is currently semi-protected. Since I've recently reframed my understanding of what a high-risk template entails, I'm cautious about taking action here. My input would be that retaining the current semi-protection is fine and adequate. I'm not sure if I'm comfortable unprotecting, but you're right in pointing out that no protection at all will almost certainly not yield negative results. Airplaneman ✈ 19:08, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Airplaneman: The problem is the full-sysop move protection; any prot. level of TE or lower would work, I just didn't see any rationale for it having higher-than-autoconf, since the edit protection is set to that.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  19:19, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I corrected an absurdly incorrect statement. I thought that people, generally speaking, were aware that the Earth has a north pole and a south pole, which makes two poles.

Khunda, Punjab

Temporary semi-protection: For the same reason shown by me in this request (october 2015), that was accepted. This page is a mini stub vandalized by anons from early 2011, mainly in the section about the personalities, with nonsenses as this or this other (just to link last vandalisms of 2015). In my periodic inspection tour I found this, very similar to the other examples linked before. The IPs are very similar (115.186.138.5 -oct 2015-, 115.186.185.62 -mar 2016-) and, IMHO, another semi-pro should be useful. Due to the fact that anon contribs to this page were, until now, only vandalisms, I would suggest a very long protection (5 years or more). Regards. --Dэя-Бøяg 04:12, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Judith Barsi

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Long-term WP:DE by IP users:

This article appears to be the target of an online fan group of the subject. Over several years, this article has experiencd many similar edits as those above. At one time the article resembled a WP:MEMORIAL which included a drawing of the subject as the main infobox photo, a quotebox with words purportedly attributed to her murderer and a link to an audio file from a film appearance.

Because these types of edits have continued for several years, requesting indefinite semi-protection so edits similar to those linked above cannot continue to be made by unregistered/non-confirmed contributors. AldezD (talk) 13:47, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question: What dispute resolution options have been tried? Has anyone reported it to ANI? Either would seem to be more appropriate than reporting it here. Yaris678 (talk) 21:24, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Reply—WP:3O as well as other discussions have been started on the talk page about WP:NOTMEMORIAL and addition of WP:COPYVIO/YOUTUBE links and WP:V unsourced info, but those have not been addressed by unregistered users who continue to make edits similar to those earlier linked in this request. Four unique editors other than myself have provided contributions on the talk page since 8 July 2013. While the edits by unregistered users can be undone without protecting the page, this is an editing pattern that has gone one for years, and adding indefinite protection would at least hinder future edits similar to the type of editing linked above.

Another example: While this request is ongoing, an IP user changed quoted text to differ from the exact quote contained in the linked source: Revision as of 21:10, 16 March 2016. AldezD (talk) 13:15, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm.... I can see some of these edits introduce problems, but I don't think you are responding in the right way. For example, the edit you linked to is technically incorrect, but if you remove the quotes around "she was still playing roles of 7 and 8 year olds" then arguably we have an improvement to the article.
I recommend you try the following:

Semi-protection: Materialscientist had the good sense to apply one month of semi-protection to this article back in January of this year, but not long after it expired there was another spat of sometimes accidental edits by IP users including one on March 7 which blanked the entire article and had the summary "sorry first time :( plz fix Im so sorry it do=int mean to do this". I don't get the sense that these edits are vandalism per se, only that they are being made by inexperienced users who should probably be prevented from getting their feet wet by editing/ damaging this popular article (which gets 3,000-5,000 views a day, nearly 10,000 some days). I also don't think that this kind of accidental/ experimental editing is going to die down in a week or a month— the topic will always be one of interest. In that light, I'd like to suggest indefinite semi-protection or pending changes, since any temporary protection only seems likely to lead to more requests for temporary semi-protection as soon as it expires.

Dubrovnik

Semi-protection: Recently, the climate data has been changed by various IP users, claiming that using 60 years of extremes is irrelevant. They also claim "There is no point in adding 60 years old extremes which are result of the an extremely abnormal cold penetration that occurred 60 years ago in the entire northern hemisphere". This is wrong since extremes should use the longest period of reference possible because it is more representative of the highest and lowest temperature that the city can receive (useful for probabilistic data). That's why the most reliable climate data are the ones with the longest period of records. As well, that claim is cherrypicking data and plus extremes don't change regardless of the average conditions, only if a new one is broken or if the old one is invalidated. I have reverted their edits, explaining them clearly in the edit summary why their edits were reverted yet they still continue to push their own version, despite being less accurate.

It's been a common vandalism target for bored schoolkids in the past, it's not going to lessen with time as there'll always be new pupils being taught about it and bored to distraction by it.

I vaguely remember protecting this. As mentioned above, this seems to be a perennial magnet for vandalism. I don't know what makes it so attractive, but apparently it is. I'm not actually up on all the various protection levels available now. My general philosophy is to apply the least restrictive protection which will do the job. If we now have a new capability which is less restrictive than what I applied four years ago, then I certainly have no objection to giving it a try. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:04, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. I have blocked the account indefinitely, and the IP addresses for a few days. Also, a check of the editing history of the 1.39.49.xxx IP range shows that editing is fairly light, and very little of it is constructive, so I have blocked the range for 36 hours. This is a much better way of dealing with problems than page protection in a case like this, where it is possible to block all accounts and IP addresses that have been involved with little risk of collateral damage, so that other editors are not prevented from editing the page.

Semi-protection: I requested a semi-protection for Lip Sync Battle Philippines the other day and was granted for a month but since another editor created a separate page for the List of Lip Sync Battle Philippines episodes, I am also requesting for it to be protected because an unregistered user once again started adding unsourced information which is obviously a vandal.

As I said above, it happened before on the main page when the list of episodes were still there, but since the list of episodes already had a separate page, the vandals that has been happening on the main page (by the same unregistered user) continued here on List of Lip Sync Battle Philippines episodes. Anyway, I'll just request for another when this happens again to justify my request. MBdemigod (talk) 13:43, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: The article has seen consistent vandalism by IP users which has increased in the past month or so. During the last 30 days alone the article has been vandalized 7 times by IPs. It has occurred here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. There have been almost no constructive edits by IPs on this article-almost only those showing clear vandalism. There is no edit-warring, just IPs coming in and making obviously disruptive edits. Due to the fact that nearly all IP users editing this article are doing so to deface it, I consider an indefinite semi-protection to be justified. Enough is enough. Thank you for considering the request. Display name 99 (talk) 21:40, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It was last protected a long time ago so indefinite protection is not warranted. The last good IP edit was three weeks ago, and there has been a steady stream of vandalism since then, so we'll start with two weeks. Please re-report if vandalism continues after this period and the protection may be extended. BethNaught (talk) 22:06, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Elders of the Universe

Semi-protection: IP vandalism. See section on my talk page, section on IP in question's talk page, recent protection requests for Wolverine (character) and Sabretooth (comics), and past protections for Aquaman for basic information. Also a section at WikiProject Comics talk page. Have had to explain this crap over and over so I don't feel like linking to exact places. IP sock loves removing the word "fictional" from the lead of articles about fictional characters. Consider protecting Abomination (comics) too as the same behavior is happening there. Has started at Deadpool now so I'll likely be requesting that page be protected very soon. —DangerousJXD (talk) 00:31, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Time for a protection spree.
  • Elders of the Universe: Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.
  • Abomination (comics): Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. The revert message that User:DangerousJXD used suggested we had to wait for one more round of vandalism. That seems an overly bureaucratic interpretation of the rules. If you spot the same kind of vandalism (removing of the word fictional) happening to the same class of articles (comic books, characters etc.) then just report rather than waiting.
  • Deadpool: Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected..

Indefinite semi-protection: When not under semi-protection, page is constantly vandalized by an anonymous vandal with a morphing IP who insists on inserting, reinserting and edit-warring in order to keep and preserve unsourced WP:original research.

Declined. Nobody has tried to move the page since the protection because the protection prevents it.

Indian Parliament political parties & alliance groups

Permanent semi-protection: Persistent updates to the 'as on' dates on these pages from multiple IPs on a daily basis. The edits are disruptive enough when there are no actual changes to the political party compositions, but often the date is updated when there is a composition change without any corresponding edit to this effect. Example - On the Rajya Sabha page, I recently 'moved' two seats from Indian National Congress (INC party list) to a Nominated partisan status (Nominated list), as well as changed the United Progressive Alliance page to reflect same, despite the fact that both pages had been edited less than an hour earlier to say that they were up-to-date. ADD: My edits to the party composition are usually reverted without explanation by the IP which changes the 'as on' date everyday (incl. weekends, when the legislature would not be in regular session). Farolif (talk) 05:29, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jinotega

Indefinite full protection: persistent disruptive editing after multiple prior protections. The Banner talk 17:01, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@The Banner: I've indef semi protected it, did you intend to request full protection? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:50, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I did. The editor who does most of the disruptive editing has a full account. I suspect him also of having multiple other accounts in the past but beyond effective range of the CheckUsers. And as he only edits one subject (Jinotega), it is easier and more effective to just close the door instead of starting to run behind him with blocks and sockpuppet investigations. The Banner talk 08:46, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@The Banner: Is this Jinotega93? I'd prefer the warning/block/page or topic ban approach, I'm loathe to apply long-term full protection to an article due to one account. But I'll leave this open if other admins disagree. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:22, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BTS (band)

(Indefinite?) Semi-protection The article was released from its previous protection on March 16, 2016, and since then, users with IP addresses and others have been vandalizing the article with member nicknames etc, leading to other users needing to revert their edits constantly. I believe the article should be protected indefinitely, or at least for a longer period of time. Thank you. Tigress223t@lk 23:42, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reduce to semi-protection: Page was fully locked by Beetstra on 29 February, though there has not been a single disruptive edit by logged-in users since on 21 February the semi-protection expired. As Beetstra states to be on "Wikibreak", I'm directly requesting this change here, though I left a note on the admin's talk page. --PanchoS (talk) 01:11, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please also note that it was the same admin Beetstra who globally blacklisted (!) the newspaper's official website earlier in February on the basis that the website is being repeatedly added to all language versions of the newspaper's article – something that isn't illegitimate at all. This really looks like outright abuse of administrative powers. --PanchoS (talk) 01:19, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did not know MusikAnimal was handling it at the same time however given that these articles are frequently the source of issue I've protected it until the 11th of July - rather than the inevitable extensions and re-protections at every expiry.

I suggest not issuing the protection. User:Panam2014 was a recent participant in a 3RR case about this page that I closed, and is now restricted from editing there. I am disappointed that he is now seeking other methods of continuing the dispute. EdJohnston (talk) 21:36, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Lectonar (talk) 08:40, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@EdJohnston and Lectonar: The topic topic which was more or less arbitrary than me EdJohnston imposed does not forbid me to do "administrator noticeboard " especially since a wave of Pov pushing hard since December 2015. It is my right not to accept this pov pushing faced by many contributors.Kiluminati doesn't respect the 3RR. For that, he should be Warned. Could you re open the request or permit me to re open a new. The Kiluminati's 3RR : [78], [79], [80]. The edit introduced by Kiluminati : [81], [82]. The map before the edit : [83]. Clearly, he has violated 3RR. It is a 3RR violation, not a user problem. Panam2014 (talk) 10:47, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If there was a 3RR breach on the page, it was days ago. Full protection is denied; as I said: dispute resolution is the way to go. Lectonar (talk) 11:01, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Lectonar: It is the problem . The 3RR ended only because Edjohnston forbade me to me to change the module. But Kiluminati has not been blocked or warned from continuing. Could you consider my demand? because in the opposite case it amounts to giving carte blanche to continue Kiluminati . Especially since he already paticipate to various edit war with @LightandDark2000, Bigles, and PutItOnAMap:. Panam2014 (talk) 11:16, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Since the page was put on pending revisions, five out of the seven edits have been vandalism.

User:IagoQnsi/signature

Indefinite full protection: This page is substituted every time I sign with four tildes. If someone edited this page, I would unwittingly be posting their message every time I used my signature. Not to mention, there is really no reason that anyone besides myself would need to edit this page. IagoQnsi (talk) 17:48, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@IagoQnsi: It's probably best for you just to copy and paste that into the signature box on Special:Preferences (and tick the "Treat the above as wiki markup" box) that way you won't need to worry about having to substitute it. Full protection won't let you edit it either, so if you want to substitute a signature your best option is to move your signature to User:IagoQnsi/signature.js as that way it can only be edited by administrators and yourself. If you don't want to go with either of those options, put a note here and another admin will address your request. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:14, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not to mention that the signature as is would comfortably come under the 255 character limit so substituting the page is redundant as usually substituting in signatures is for more complex signatures using more than 255 characters. tutterMouse (talk) 17:00, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Procedurally Declined, four days is more than long enough to know it's not happening. IagoQnsi, the markup fits in the regular signature so just add it there, it isn't doing anything special enough to need to be substituted. tutterMouse (talk) 06:18, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proclamation of the Irish Republic

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism.

Declined Lectonar (talk) 09:34, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the text more than once, and it has been removed each time; I don't understand why it's referred to as the only edit. I don't know how to use the Talk item for discussion. I tried (just now) going to Scolaire's page and looking at the Talk items, but can't see any reference to the Proclamation page; there is a reference to a rather strange edit of the page covering a relative of mine, which removes the name by which she was always known (John Brennan), which I'd put in brackets in the title, and instead makes a whole new Wikipedia item for her writing name (which everyone who knew her called her), separate from a page under her birth name. Again, it's Wikipedia style that in foundational documents the text is quoted. The removal of the text of the central document of the Irish State seems to be purely political.

Pending-changes protected This is too slow in number of edits to semiprotect; let's try pending changes. Lectonar (talk) 11:39, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Lectonar, pending changes is fine and I really appreciate the speedy response but this will not achieve anything. The edits need to stop. Reverting them doesn't stop them. Neither does the fact that they're labelled as pending changes. Now I'm not saying "pretty please semi-protect it" (I wasn't confident it would be anyway). I'm just saying this won't stop these edits from happening, which is the reason for this request. —DangerousJXD (talk) 11:46, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am aware of that...but it does prevent the edits from going "live" (so whomever does this can't say: look, I inserted Aquaman/Batman/Tatataman; this spoils their fun just enough to take the joy out of it)...and I assure you: you can't stop stupid editing.

  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 19:20, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Done In most cases, disruption stopped two days ago and was confined to a short timespan, so that I do not see much sense in protecting now. I am sorry for not reacting earlier. Three or four articles were protected earlier by other administrators, or now by me, when disruption was longer.Ymblanter (talk) 10:33, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not done - as a matter of principle, I don't like to protect talk pages. It closes off so many options for fixing articles. However, I've issued a range block to the IPs that have been recently disruptive. Let's see if that help? If not, feel free to re-request here, or on my talk. -Philippe (talk) 02:55, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Saleh

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Continuous long-term vandalism, disruptive editing from IPs and anonymous users. Greater level of protection needed: although pending changes is making it easier to counter the vandalism ultimately it's not deterring it. 86.158.72.75 (talk) 00:21, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. I am loathe to do much longer, because ultimately there isn't a sufficiently broad pattern of vandalism for indef. Feel free to resubmit if needed at the conclusion. -Philippe (talk) 02:41, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
