@VarunFEB2003: I did. Not enough to merit regular semi-protection let alone indefinite semi-protection. If the rate of disruption increases, then please re-report. --NeilN talk to me 15:00, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Two week semi-protection: Persistent removal of sourced content by IP-hopping unregistered editor(s), despite attempt to resolve through discussion. Two recent one-week stints of semi-protection for the same problem (here, here). --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 16:59, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Unsourced/poorly sourced additions. Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:54, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I usually would decline a request with an edit history similar to this one because unsourced additions are relatively infrequent (1 or 2 a week); yet, I understand the frustration of having to continuously deal with edits that are consistently bad. I'm protecting for a short time. Airplaneman ✈ 16:03, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: Until consensus can be reached on talk page. Lack of input in discussions at WT:NFL has prevented consensus from being reached for months now, so edit warring rages on. Lizard (talk) 17:40, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. @Lizard the Wizard: I'm seeing one editor reverting against many. NeilN talk to me 17:43, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lucy Hale

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Various IP users changing the year range in the Television section of the article for Hale's role on Pretty Little Liars (from "2010-present" to "2010-2017" or something similar). Recently, it was announced that the TV series was ending on Freeform, with the finale airing in 2017, but to change the year(s) Hale was involved in the show from "2010-present" to "2010-2017" is premature, per WP:CRYSTAL.

Create protection: Favorite creation targets of a blocked sockpuppeteer - editing on these articles has occurred very recently, resulting in two SPIs just yesterday. MSJapan (talk) 18:27, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 18:37, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm thinking it best to Declined this request. Not because there's something necessarily wrong with it, but because it looks like you're describing a perfect Honeypot (computing) — if the user's giving away his own sockpuppets by recreating these pages, I'm not thinking it's a good idea to protect the pages and thus prevent him from self-identifying his sockpuppets for us. I'm not pretending to make this a "final answer"; leave a response here (and ping me), or chat with me at my talk page, and I'll consider your words, or if another admin wants to protect them, I'll not complain. Nyttend (talk) 20:12, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Obrenović dynasty

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – This page has been the subject of a slow moving campaign by what seems to be one user on multiple IPs, to add unsourced content about the subject. A discussion has been open on the talk page but the IP seems unwilling to enrage in discussion beyond repeated assertions that their additions are true. I'm hoping a semi-prot will encourage them to do more than a drive-by revert and a token "it's true" on the talk page. . CrowCaw 21:54, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Requesting extended pending changes protection to this article. The Gun Laws portion of the article has been removed several times over the last month and appears contentious. Pending changes would preserve article integrity. -- Dane2007 talk 02:40, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 Week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. 1 week given that one of the major recent contributors is an IP, and this will also lock them out. If disruption continues, a longer period can be tried out. Vanamonde (talk) 18:27, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Chryston High School

Temporary semi-protection: Extremely high level of IP vandalism. Oshwah declined on the 29th August, something I find inexplicable, given that at that point, there were 10 different IP editors who had vandalised the page 25 times between them last month alone; in fact the entire first page of edit history is nothing but vandalism and reverting vandalism. Almost as if to prove my point, the page has been vandalised 8 times today alone by 5 different IP editors. I therefore ask that a different admin look at semi-protecting this page. I'll also assume good faith and presume that Oshwah was veering on the side of new admin caution that day. :) jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:59, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. 1 month given that it's the first protection. If this resumes, longer might be considered. Vanamonde (talk) 19:07, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Vanamonde! Yes, definitely needed protection. For the record, jcc, yes I was siding with caution. I thought the edits had stopped which is why I thought it shouldn't be protected. Looking now, this is a clear case where it is needed. I apologize; I'm still learning! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:11, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Delhi elections

Semi-protection: IP refusing to respect WP:BRD. Number 57 10:05, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined BRD isn't a policy (but 3RR is!) If you revert twice, then you are no longer following the BRD cycle. This looks like a content dispute between two users and I don't think semi-protection is appropriate. Airplaneman ✈ 14:00, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Religion in India

Semi-protection: Now and then, a few IP users make stupid edits (like misinterpreting sources; recently an IP user changed growth rate of Hinduism from 16.8% to -0.7%. -0.7% was change in percentage of Hinduism from 80.5% to 79.8%. Although percentage declined, the number of Hindus increased showing positive growth rate of 16.8%; same info is mentioned in the source in the end which these stupid IPs don't care to see properly.) which are not easily tracked since the article is a long one. Please semi-protect this page for at least one week. Vibhss (talk) 11:01, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. the page has, like, zero IP edits. I am happy to semi later if silly stuff starts happening. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 14:08, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nissan Navara

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – More IP's disruptively editing the page, seems to be one person using multiple IP's. I requested this page to be protected on Tuesday but the result was that users were blocked, but this hasn't helped as the vandal came back. I'm asking for Indefinite because this has been going on since February. Class455 (talk) 15:54, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't necessarily declined, the result was " User(s) blocked.". Class455 (talk) 16:24, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Class455, I have semi-protected this for a month given that there is certainly disruptive editing going on by multiple IPs, and yet it is not a clear cut case of vandalism, and there have also been several constructive edits there from IPs in the past. I would suggest trying to open a discussion with this editor, and explaining to them why their edits are inappropriate. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 16:43, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Vanamonde93 we've tried (me and other editors), but the person won't co'operate. Class455 (talk) 17:08, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Class455: I understand that this can be frustrating, but when I look at the talk page of the article and those of the IPs, there does not seem to be much evidence of discussion: just a bunch of warnings. Moreover, there have been recent constructive contributions by IPs, and I'd rather not shut those out unless I have to. If the disruption continues despite an attempt to discuss this, another request would be seen quite differently. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 17:20, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Vanamonde93 I was considering pending changes, but this would still involve reverting edits, and would cause slight disruption (seeing edits constantly being rejected). If they send in an edit request, we will discover why the IP wants to keep making this change. Class455 (talk) 17:29, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bobby Lockwood

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Over the course of the past few months several IPs and perhaps sockpuppets/alternative accounts have been adding unsourced information. There have also been copyright violation issues since November 2015. Myself and other editors have gone out of our way to revert these additions but whoever is adding them appears to keep returning with other IPs and accounts. In short, an indefinite protection on this page is required. Zerotalk 12:52, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jane Austen

Jane Austen (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection with Admin watchlist: This is the second request for page protection on a contentious article complicated by multiple experienced editors and administrators participating. In theory a full protection does not fully apply here since the participants include administrators who are now editing over and against an open RFC in which they are participating. I am now requesting that the protection status of the page remain at its current protection level since it is already protected, though one neutral administrator may put the main page on administrator watchlist to ensure that no editor and especially no participating administrator edit the main page while the RFC is still open, and in which administrators are participating. I shall notify all four of these editors on their Talk pages to wait the normal 30-day period for the RFC process to run its course until it is closed, and then follow the close instructions as indicated by the closing RFC editor. This is a special request being made with some reluctance only because this is the second time that the main page there has gone through a full melt-down with massive section blanking. Requesting here that a neutral administrator watchlist the Jane Austen main page while the RFC is in progress. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 16:58, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not taking administrative action here, but I encourage the reviewing admin to dismiss this request. Fountains-of-Paris doesn't seem to know what page protection is for. They want editors to completely stop editing the page while they run an RFC on citation style, and they are reverting multiple people at this time. --Laser brain (talk) 17:11, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article sections which are being section blanked have included the edits of multiple participating editors who have edited the article main page such as Tim riley and J Milburn. Their edits are also subject to this section blanking being done without consensus on the Talk page. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 17:24, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 17:27, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fountains-of-Paris appears to have taken ownership of Jane Austen, and not in the positive sense of stewardship. There are significant problems in the article. On two occasions when someone has tried to fix them (first Victoriaearle, then me—in each case with the agreement of other editors), FoP has reverted and requested page protection. See his RfPP from 22 August; pinging Iridescent and Ritchie333, who responded to that request. SarahSV (talk) 18:19, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • No ownership here of any kind, and over the past several months I have been very open to nearly everyone who wanted to edit the GA article since it went through the GA process with Tim riley months ago. The current issues with Sarah appear to have started with Ling and Victoria lighting a fuse for CITEVAR during the FA nomination of the article two weeks ago apparently with the intention of ending the FA nomination, which Laser then did end and close. All of these editors have been asked to make their edits and enhancements either off-line or in their sandboxes, and then to offer them as regular normal process contributions when ready while the CITEVAR issue was being addressed. This had been offered when they requested it, and then they rejected it immediately followed with large section blanking of the article main body, last week done by Victoria and yesterday done by Sarah. Of course editors can contribute to enhancing and improving the article in the normal process of editing, that would be in the spirit of the late Wadewitz the original author from many years ago. But not section blanking over and over again, especially when an RFC has been opened by me last week to prevent this very issue from re-occurring. Since the section blanking has now recurred, this time by an administrator, I have requested the special watchlist oversight of this article by a neutral administrator until the normal RFC process runs its normal course to completion. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 18:59, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Declined Semi-protection is not the answer for a such a content dispute; what good would it do? I've tangentially followed this dispute since the last RFPP report and honestly don't think that this is the right place to bring it. And what good would a neutral admin watching the page do? If I were the neutral admin, what would my response be? Revert any edits made? Revert to what? I'd encourage everyone to slow down here. I know how disheartening it can be when you spend many hours making an article "better" only to be disagreed with by (an)other, equally passionate editor(s). It's tough, but RFPP won't make it any easier. Airplaneman ✈ 19:07, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not to sound ungrateful but you protected a recently "blanked" version - so the the version they're voting on at AfD is neither the one editors wanting to "keep" wanted or editors wanting to "delete" didn't. Can you restore it or maybe unprotect it so others can until the vote's ended? I think the requestor's goal was that we vote on a stable version. James J.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – IP vandal adding unsourced, silly content to "FanPack". KATMAKROFAN (talk) 23:46, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @KATMAKROFAN: Looks like it's one problematic user: 184.97.174.74 (talk · contribs). Please warn users on their talk pages when you see this kind of editing to provide clear instruction. Edit summary explanations are nice but often awkward and easy to overlook. For continual disrpution, warnings also provide evidence that direct intervention hasn't worked and that blocking is necessary. As it stands, I'll warn the IP user in question on their talk page about these edits and encourage you to do the same in the future. I'm declining this request because 1) I believe there was insufficient communication of why the edits were wrong 2) page protection isn't the best way to ward off vandalism involving only one user and 3) it seems like the IP has moved on. Please let me know if the IP continues and I'll be glad to issue a short-term block. Airplaneman ✈ 04:19, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The vandal Fixmark2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who was blocked for disruptive editing, renaming WWII to "Great Rape of Germany" and claiming that every car was "ripped off" from another one, while all credible sources paint a different picture and don't support his marginal views, has created two sockpuppets (Heavyrevy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and 37.73.204.92 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)) and is waging an endless edit war in the aforementioned article, trying to promote his personal POV, remove redirects for no reason, and restore his edits that are neither correct nor supported by any credible evidence ([10], [11], [12]). Blocking him doesn't solve the issue, as he is still coming back under a different name and from a different IP address; the only "reliable sources" that he uses are a copy/paste from the website of some car dealer and a copy/paste of the same article after it was vandalized by him, i. e. his own words, which is clearly against WP:IRS and WP:NPOV.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – requesting temporary semi-protection due to recent wave of vandalism, addition of unsourced content and most probably an imaginative plot as the film hasn't released yet. - Managerarc™ talk 23:44, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Can I have a second opinion? There are many edits by IPs, but many appear to be content-related, some are constructive, and not a large amount of disruption. Protecting would lock out those that are trying to constructively edit. I'm leaning to decline but I'd like to have a second look by someone else. Thanks :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:58, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Oshwah: I would apply a brief semi-protection here, because though the edits are in good faith, the edits are causing disruption. Many of them are plot related, and the movie has not been released, so these are by definition OR. Vanamonde (talk) 05:03, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite Semi-protection: I have always asked for temporary, but am asking for indefinite here.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Easy vandalism magnet for obvious reasons. WNYY98 (talk) 03:21, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I'm inclined ot semiprotect articles such as this one indefinitely. This one exhibits all the signs of chronic vandalism but isn't edited too frequently. In the past year, the article has been edited a little over 100 times, with the majority of those edits being vandalism and vandalism reverts. Yet, the article has only ever been protected over short chunks of time. Does the editing history of the article put it under the category "not enough activity to justify protection"? With such a high percentage of vandalism, I'm not sure pending changes would do much good. I feel that I may be on the more liberal side when it comes to applying protection to articles and would appreciate others' thoughts on this matter before making a decision.

Do not reverse the roles . This is fort the IP to have a consensus to change the page and add the controversial infobox. --Panam2014 (talk) 12:32, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's terrible that you resort to blatant lies to defend your case. You made the first action, a deletion in [21] without any prior discussion. The infobox contains key informations, and is thus of large importance to the article. You need consensus to make these deletions. I reverted you and encouraged you to discuss this at the talk page, because you need the consensus of the WP community to make deletions of this scale. Also, you shouldn't spam my talk page because you're offended, it's not constructive and will certainly not defend your case. --80.63.3.167 (talk) 12:43, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You provoked the edit warring because you added the infobox. --Panam2014 (talk) 13:02, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The infobox was there before you and I had this little edit war. Then you decided to remove this important part of the article without consensus. It's not okay. That's why you should argue for your case at the talk page.

Both of you: this is not the place to dispute the content, or make demands with respect to it. Dat Guy, I am aware of that restriction, but it is a little fuzzy with respect to IPs involved in good faith disputes. Therefore, to make it absolutely clear, if either of you makes any further reverts at any point before consensus is reached on the talk page with respect to this dispute, you will be blocked for edit-warring. Take the dispute to the talk page, and pursue it there; not here. Vanamonde (talk) 13:31, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Vanamonde93: Wikipedia does not work that way. The pre- war edition version included no infobox . So while waiting to find a consensus , remove the infobox . --Panam2014 (talk) 13:35, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Long history of vandalism. The page isn't one that really should expect or need frequent changes, so the burden of edit-protected requests should be low. It's not a particularly high rate of vandalism, but it's such an obvious target for them. It's also the sort of thing which could make negative headlines if someone misses an attack: "Wikipedia can't even do basic math!" is the sort of headline tabloid editors love (without letting little details like truth or balance get in their way…).

Unfortunate, I have updated the faulty article and this is the response - disruptive editing. The request was a mere attempt to avoid disruptive editing and it was extended in this request to check where the disruption stands in regards to wiki-guidelines and check if the edit is passable.

@Airplaneman: Yes, there's this one: http://en.mediamass.net/people/june-foray/retirement.html (which may or may not be acceptable) and there's also IMDb and her last credit was in 2014. In the acting biz, if you're not working, you're not working, especially when you're 99 years old, God Bless Her. How about a compromise -- if she goes back to work we can update the infobox. SIMPLE AS THAT. Quis separabit? 00:25, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Rms125a@hotmail.com: I honestly see this more as a content dispute. If attempts at discussion continue to fail, I'm inclined to issue a full protection of the page. I can't quite grasp the validity of your argument that she must be retired because she's old and she hasn't had a credit in two years. The mediamass site you linked to me only speaks of rumors of retirement, and it looks like the page has been updated to say that the rumors were false. Unless there's a source stating that she's retired, I don't see how your edits aren't just as problematic as you claim JuneForayFan's are. If I'm missing something, please let me know.

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. And the IP's edits are not vandalism, Corkythehornetfan. NeilN talk to me 14:48, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
By now it is plain disruptive editing. The IP does not engage in meaningful discussion but keeps removing sourced content. See Talk:Baylor University#Why a ranking of 701+ is not a useful ranking. IP claims a prior discussion came to consensus, but such a discussion is nowhere to be found. He (I assume) also claims that ten of thousands of universities have the 701+ ranking. But it is already the given sources that proves that it is a false claim. This won't stop unless the article is protected (or the IP blocked). The Banner talk 17:01, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection. While it's not under constant, heavy attack, come on. Major props to User:AlexiusHoratius and User:Ymblanter, the admins who took WP:AGF to an extraordinary degree by supposing that anonymous editors could constructively contribute here and putting it under pending-changes protection accordingly. Predictably, it shows up on the p-c list once every few hours to once every few days and these edits are pretty much always junk that badly needs to be quickly reverted; I've removed several names of real people recently.

Randykitty? Katietalk 13:32, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Several versions of the article were deleted as G11 (spam), being overly promotional. I protected it because of the persistent attempts to create this either as a copyvio or as an overly promotional puff piece. Somehow I'm not surprised that it now has been re-created with a slightly different orthography... I think it would be good if another admin had a fresh look at the current article. If it is acceptable (i.e., not a copyvio and not deemed overly promotional), I have no problem if someone would unprotect it. However, should the current version be deemed G11, again, I'd recommend salting this orthography, too. I have no opinion on the current version, but do note that it has been created by a single-purpose account. If kept, I hope somebody will watchlist it to prevent it becoming the same puff-piece that it has been before. --Randykitty (talk) 15:49, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I checked and this version is clear of copy vio and the article is not blatantly promotional (it has been deleted as G11 in the past). There's a lot of citations, but the ones I checked did not mention Heiko Bleher directly (many of the articles are about the various species that bear the Bleher family name). I'd like someone else to assess for notability, as I am not very good at that, but otherwise this version looks okay to me. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:09, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Invasion of Poland and Soviet invasion of Poland

I have answered questions and made statements on the TALK-side of these articles. My answers and statements have been vandalized by another user by removing my text and adding his own, without any reason given what so ever. He then requested the page protected with his vandalized version, and got it. I request that the page turns unprotected and that his vandalism is stopped (my comments returned). The admin who protected the page has protected his page, so I can not contact him.

That is the same requirement that Soupforone had for living and deceased Eritrean Tigrinyas for their respective articles.

He's only 'admitted' to one account. The CU is also for the 'CowardlyAbyssinian' account which he denies, I believe. The request for protection was due to the fact that BOTH parties were as bad as each other; this result does not necessarilly reflect that. See what I mean?

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I'm not sure that this is appropriate, but I'm at a loss for how to proceed.

The only way that I can see to resolve this is to semi-protect the page, forcing the IP to use the talk page.

Sciences Po

Semi-protection: Persistent advertising and disruptive editing and personal attacks my multiple IP users. I explained the issue there and User:Robert McClenon advised to request a semi-protection. Here is what I explained:

The Sciences Po page was a pure advertisement page. I tried to put it in an encyclopedical form and was personnaly attacked for it (saying that I carry out a personal vendetta against Science Po). The user admitted using several IP adresses.

Now, they are trying to put back the advertisement style and remove the banner. For example, they insist putting in the lede, without any source, sentences like: "Beyond its academics, Sciences Po is well known for its international outlook." "The Institute also maintains a robust sport programme and competes against other grand écoles in the Île-de-France." "Sciences Po and its innovative curriculum would inspire and serve as the model for the London School of Economics." (the article says part of the inspiration, not the model and innovative) "Almost every member of the French diplomatic corp since the Fifth Republic, and roughly half of ENA’s cohort each year are also graduates." Etc.

I tried to prevent it, but now I face strong personal attacks like being called "Lameadee the vandalist" and saying that I "hate Science Po" in a summary, saying I am a "dishonest editor", implying that I have to be a Science Po alumni to edit the page, writing things like "You're just lying at this point.", "clearly you are a vandal", "Consider this your warning." And the user implies that because he spent time on his advertisement, nobody must touch it.

I claim that there is also sexism here. I know for sure that I never wrote anywhere that I was a woman, so sentences like "she was lying about the citations she was using" or "she is a dishonest editor", is an attack on me as a woman (it’s easy to say that women lie and are dishonest). And it’s untolerable.

Separatist movements of India

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent disruptive editing by a sock IP. Mar4d (talk) 20:06, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I do not have a WIKI account but I would request Admins to FULLY Protect the page (or still better BAN COMPLETELY this User Mar4d) ONLY AFTER proof-reading it and seeing to it that every claim (of incidents / organizations / figures handed out there) is referenced by unbiased (non-paki and non-chinese) sources. mar4d, who requests protection for this page, has been banned several times (along with fellow vandal User:TopGun), and has come back after much begging, having spent more than half a year in wilderness after what was initially a lifetime ban by User:Bbb23. He and TopGun have openly flouted basic norms of WIKI, indulged in unexplained re-reverts, often put in lies and fabricated claims, and they add a litany of falsities, and say "it a work in progress" (when asked for supporting refs). And that he was indulging in that on this very page as seen here [[47]] They esp TopGun around 4.5 years ago used to indiscriminately add "Separatist/Independence Movements" to India's article left and right [[48]] One of the edits these two lowblooded vandals were trying to push through was this [[49]]. Please see for yourself how many of those said movements were properly sourced. There were about a half a dozen other editors then including some non-Indians who reverted these two vandals but they are not n this article any more. While asserting something on WIKI cannot change the truth on the ground, and the truth is what matters more than anything else, I would like WIKI admins to prevent this from happening any further. WIKI may not be the only source for people looking up information on India, but is certainly one of the foremost sources, and almost among the best one can hope to get on the Net. It would be grossly unfair to WIKI itself more than any other that such lies and fabrications and exaggerations (unsourced) are allowed to remain. 59.92.144.62 (talk) 11:59, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@JzG:--Ymblanter (talk) 09:00, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The article is essentially unchanged since the last request a month ago, and the problem is exactly the same: the current article is pretty much word for word the one that was deleted, so it's a WP:CSD#G4. It needs to go to WP:DRV. And I hope it does not get undeleted: this is blatant promotion. The first version was created by a user now banned for spamming, so was the second, identical copy. I suspect someone is paying to get this article created. Guy (Help!) 09:34, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Declined (procedural) Katietalk 12:51, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It can't be exactly word for word from what was delete. The AfD was on 2 February 2016. Since then, new news stories has came out about the subject this summer (ie [[55]], [[56]], [[57]], and [[58]]). Here [[59]] is a copy of the deleted page. If you look, you'll see that it is much different than the draft, especially since it includes the new news stories -- something that the deleted version could not have had. Because of that, it can't be WP:CSD#G4. Yeah, the first two copies were blatant spam but that doesn't mean the subject is forbidden from obtaining an entry in the encyclopedia. The requirements for an entry is that a subject must meet the notability guideline from reliable sources, which this one does. CerealKillerYum (talk) 22:34, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@JzG:--Ymblanter (talk) 09:00, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The article is essentially unchanged since the last request a month ago, and the problem is exactly the same: the current article is pretty much word for word the one that was deleted, so it's a WP:CSD#G4. It needs to go to WP:DRV. And I hope it does not get undeleted: this is blatant promotion. The first version was created by a user now banned for spamming, so was the second, identical copy. I suspect someone is paying to get this article created. Guy (Help!) 09:34, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
RFPP|d (procedural) Katietalk 12:51, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It can't be exactly word for word from what was delete. The AfD was on 2 February 2016. Since then, new news stories has came out about the subject this summer (ie [[63]], [[64]], [[65]], and [[66]]). Here [[67]] is a copy of the deleted page. If you look, you'll see that it is much different than the draft, especially since it includes the new news stories -- something that the deleted version could not have had. Because of that, it can't be WP:CSD#G4. Yeah, the first two copies were blatant spam but that doesn't mean the subject is forbidden from obtaining an entry in the encyclopedia. The requirements for an entry is that a subject must meet the notability guideline from reliable sources, which this one does. CerealKillerYum (talk) 22:34, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. This is a clearly legitimate protection request, however, I believe, that protection in this case is not the best solution. The article is AfDed and is on its way to deletion, however, an IP can still save it by adding reliable sources (e.g. in Urdu) there. And removal of an AfD template can be reverted in one click and has indeed been so far done by three different editors.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:21, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gay sexual practices

Semi-protection: Repeated IP-hopping, unsourced changes to sourced material, and additions of WP:Undue weight, by an editor who was repeatedly warned for this type of behavior. Despite concerns expressed on the article talk page, the editor keeps making these type of changes. Instead of signing in and commenting, the editor has chosen to continue to IP hop and edit war. Right now, it is a slow edit war, but it needs to stop nevertheless. I ask that the article be semi-protected for at least two months, which will likely lead the editor to at least sign in and take his case to the talk page. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 07:53, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And as for what ties Rafe87 to the IPs, other than the same type of editing, see this discussion where Rafe87 admits to being a 177. IP range. The IP hopper at the Gay sexual practices article has a 177. IP range (well, it's just one of the ranges that Rafe87 uses; 177.40.231.23 and 177.42.183.110 are among the Rafe87 IPs I've noted reverting at the article). Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 08:09, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update: More evidence is seen here; the editor has suddenly edited under his registered account after months of only editing as IPs. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 09:50, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone can see my edits - the ones you keep removing - are sourced and that I'm not engaging in any edit warring. I made some edits, all of which extensively sourced, and then you arbitrarily reverted then, and that's it. I'm not doing anything to deserve your callousness and accusations, and I never tried to use the IP to escape accountability for my actions, since I have from the beginning admitted it was me, as you helpfully admit. Anyway, I've called on arbitration to weigh in on this matter. I humbly ask the moderators to delay their decision on protecting the page until arbitration is exhausted. Rafe87 (talk) 10:06, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Additions being sourced do not mean they should stay. If you would take the time to learn this site's rules instead of always trying to do what you want and edit warring, you would know that. And as for IP hopping, your IP hopping is problematic because you are clearly trying to evade scrutiny and avoid discussion when you do it and because you are not just the 177. IP range. You use other IP ranges too, whether you admit to it or not. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 13:05, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We're supposed to not bite the newbies. Vindictus23 was trying to be helpful - the NASA website gives the dates when the sun is in the actual constellations, and for Pisces it's 12 March to 18 April. This should have been explained, instead (s)he gets a sarcastic message about NASA taking up astrology, a block is threatened and all astrology articles are offlimits to IPs for a year. 79.79.52.55 (talk) 16:40, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I was mistaken about the bad faith, but did not see the IP providing a reference for the change, only the word 'NASA'. The only talk page discussion I have seen about date formats in astrology articles seems to be the one begun by User:Jc3s5h at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astrology#Corrections to dates, date and citation format in sign articles. If you disagree with that is in the articles now, this might be a place to make your case. Arguing GMT over UTC i possibly a misunderstanding, because UTC can be freely used in notation for past dates, even if the astronomers of that time did not use it in their own writings. Just as we can put dates in articles like 44 BC, though the people who were alive then didn't use that terminology. EdJohnston (talk) 00:48, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Content dispute by extended confirmed users. Dat GuyTalkContribs 13:02, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) As an uninvolved editor who happened to spot this, might I suggest an alternative to full protection. A simple admonishment / reminder of WP:1RR and the potential consequences of violating it, to all involved parties, and an interim ruling on which sources are reliable (which can be changed by clear consensus on talk or taking it to WP:RSN). It just seems to me that this is an important area of current world events, which can have significant changes on a daily basis. It seems detrimental the the goals of the encyclopaedia if it is prevented from being kept current for any length of time. Hopefully some wise words of authority might be sufficient.

Disruptive Toddy1 does not know who's doing what again or who's doing it for their first time. And it's not disruptive to use the official name of the church in the article. The info. already uses it, and there's an article here with that name. The church specifies the official name is to be used except where the nickname "Mormon" shows up in "Mormon Tabernacle Choir" and The Book of Mormon (and Words of Mormon inside it, and the name of Mormon the prophet himself, etc.); or where abbreviating, to say "LDS Church." Why would it not be encyclopedic to use it to refer to the missionary service using the official name of the church? Disruptive Toddy1 is overreacting. There is a discussion at the talk page now too. 75.162.209.1 (talk) 06:47, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Given the persistent vandalism, addition of unsourced content, and general disruption that continues to be caused by anonymous editors, I believe PC might be a better option. I have left warnings on user talk pages, reverted with appropriate edit summaries and even created an editnotice for the page but none of these have any effect. The page is constantly edited by people who apparently only interested in editing this particular page and who have no intention of following our policies and guidelines, even if asked nicely. --AussieLegend (✉) 04:34, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? It already went through AfD? I have to rehash it again, just because he wants to game the system with an edit war? We would not want to head off a edit war.

Adventure Time seasons 7 & 8

Reduction in protection level: From full protection to extended confirmed protection. These pages were repeatedly and vigorously vandalized the last few days by a user who has only been on the site for five days and has made 100 edits. I have been working on these pages for a long time, and now that they are fully protected, I as well as several other co-editors are unable to continue our expansion/clean-up of them. I request this decrease in protection so that the disruptive editor cannot modify their contents, but those who have edited for a while can update the pages as needed. I sent a note to the protecting admin (i.e. User talk:Yamaguchi先生), but I haven't heard back.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 14:54, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As the disruptive user now has an indefinite block, I have no problem removing protection entirely. However, you need to wait for Yamaguchi to respond, and you only gave him 90 minutes before posting here. Katietalk 16:04, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kurdish cinema

Semi-protection: This is the primary target for a banned editor who has been creating sockpuppets and attempting to recreate his deleted film article on a daily basis. It would be prudent to make this page off-limits to all but autoconfirmed users, at least until there is time for the sock master to disperse.

Louis XIV of France

Temporary semiprotection. Is there any shorthand, like an essay or something, for when an article's subject comes up in a high school class somewhere and it falls under attack from bored students? RunnyAmiga ※ talk 18:57, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The article is already under PC protection, which should persist after the semi-protection expires. MelanieN (talk) 00:42, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Newly created sock is adding links to images on commons that are clear copyright violations. Neither sock (Saniasliza) nor the main account (Soshuvo) have made any attempt at communication despite multiple requests. Semi protection is to stop the new socks and their IP address from further copyright violations. Would not mind full protection to force them to discuss. Ravensfire (talk) 16:14, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. Ravensfire, the master has been blocked for 1 week, socks indefinitely. Please let me know if more socks show up. NeilN talk to me 17:42, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Not too long ago, the page was protected because a disruptive IP-hopper was edit warring with non-constructive edits. Now that the protection expired, the user just went right back to doing the exact same thing. DarkKnight2149 18:52, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
