Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Consistent insertion of vandalism (several times/month, as well as occasionally more persistent vandals) from a variety of sources extending over a long period of time; I'm not sure if this would meet the requirements for indefinite protection, but I see no indication that temporary protection would lead to an end of vandalism.

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing by what appear to be members of the group described in article, addition of unsourced or poorly-sourced promotional content by IPs and new WP:SPA accounts that show up to edit-war. This article is a perennial draw for these problems, and may eventually need semi-indef. I'd do it myself but have done repeated vandalism reversion and cleanup on the page. - CorbieV 20:44, 1 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Fully protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @ CorbieVreccan: I sympathize, but when the editors in question are all registered accounts, I think it's best to deal with them at an individual level, because if their behavior is so bad as to warrant locking them out of the article, it is also probably block-worthy. I hate asking people to dive into the cesspool, but that might be the best option here. I've full-protected this to provide some breathing space. Vanamonde ( talk) 21:26, 1 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Semi-protection: I had to clean this page up a few months back because it rife with points of view and opinion, and with few citations for any of it. So I pared it down and put in sources. User User:41.113.69.200 in the last few days has continually come back in and added obvious POV and opinion and not cited anything. I suspect he may have edited the page years ago, I don't know; that's neither here nor there, however. I've twice now said that his edits were reverted because they were largely points of view, so at this point, I do not think they are good faith edits. He needs to be warned by someone more in the know of wiki standards or blocked from this page permenantly if you all decide he's not going to stop.

Indefinite semi-protection. These have been the most frequent targets of a now-long-term-blocked IP nuisance who has been adding BLP-violating rubbish to articles on a subset of Australian conservative politicians for months despite countless warnings. He's now taken to trying to dodge the block of his static IP, so it would be much appreciated if these could be semiprotected - and at least Bastiaan (who this guy is particularly obsessed with) be semiprotected indefinitely.

Please, anyone can claim anything on the internet. Didn’t you know I’m Joan of Arc? Given what the only reliable source cited on this matter says, it is virtually certain that no editors are or know Nilo Cruz. And the editor you refer to can be variously interpreted. He or she may simply be saying that, as he or she considers his or her own sexuality private, we should keep others’ sexuality private as well. That is not Wiki policy, btw. What we do know, via a reliable source, is that the real Nilo Cruz gave an interview with a well-known gay newspaper in which he discussed being openly gay. Does that sound like what someone wishing to keep his sexuality private would do? In light of the reliable source, can these outrageous internet claims (even if someone was claiming to be Cruz) from essentially anonymous people pass the sniff test? Hardly. And even if the editor were Nilo Cruz, a gargantuan if, Nilo Cruz doesn’t get to decide what information that he himself has publicly declared to the world ends up being included in his Wikipedia article. And also note that the editor in question has refused to discuss on the talk page, even after being directed to do so. In short, you are far too gullible. Antinoos69 ( talk) 00:04, 6 October 2018 (UTC) reply

I did a update, fact check and added recent information to the Wikipedia page for Jeffrey Peterson after hearing a lengthy biographical segment and news story about this entrepreneur on Sirius XM Radio in July. The subject personality is a significant figure in the history of technology companies and is possibly the creator of the first social network to trade on a Stock Exchange in the USA (See: Quepasa). I have been following developments in this wild story since then. The entrepreneur is involved in contentious defamation of character litigation against an influential political group consisting of past business partners. Since learning about it, I have have noticed the Wikipedia page being attacked and reverted numerous times over a span of the past few months. Attacks and vandalism have been from IP addresses and unregistered users. I commented on the talk page to bring attention to the attacks. Someone or some group of what appear to be highly charged adversaries of the entrepreneur have been trying to paste the disputed newspaper article itself in to the Jeffrey Peterson Wikipedia article at periodic intervals in an aggressive way (see the edits on the article for examples). As with many Wikipedia articles, Jeffrey Peterson appears as one of the first results in Google searches on the entrepreneur's full name so it might be a good idea to exercise caution in this case. The material being repeatedly pasted in to the article in an aggressive way and the existence of a dispute between business partners involving claims of libel and defamation does seem to fit Wikipedia's cautions regarding contentious material about living persons. Consider this a good faith 'heads up' about a situation I do believe might pose a problem. A semi protected status is probably justified, given what seems to be a potentially volatile legal situation relating to the newspaper article published about this entrepreneur in December of 2017; that article is apparently the source of the information being repeatedly pasted in to the article. There are stories out there in the press right now about some of this if you Google his name. Thank you. IlseBecker7 ( talk) 05:50, 6 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Indefinite semi-protection: As Wikipedia:Wikipedia CD Selection is inactive, there is no reason why autoconfirmed users shouldn't be able to edit this template. Yes, there are lots of transclusions but there are only under 1,500. So, there is no reason why this has to stay protected for template editors to only edit. I propose that the protection gets taken down to autoconfirmed. Pkbwcgs ( talk) 20:35, 5 October 2018 (UTC) reply

  • I'm leaning more towards decline at the moment. There doesn't seem to be a good reason for reducing protection. Yes, the template may be defunct and useless, and it looks like it's about to be eradicated via a TfD, but in spite of all this, it's still what I would consider to be high risk, with 1300 transclusions, a substantial percentage of which are on talk pages of prominent or very fundamental topics that receive a lot of views. That level of risk has no correlation with the template's uselessness or the Wikiproject's inactivity; it's very easy to break templates, and if someone accidentally breaks, or worse, vandalizes the template, they're breaking/vandalizing 1300 prominent talk pages in a way that most ordinary users/readers don't understand how to fix. So, that's a compelling reason to keep it protected, IMO.  Swarm   talk  23:17, 5 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Per consensus at Talk:Lesser Caucasus#Merge with Anticaucasus), I redirected this. An IP keeps undoing the redirection (in the interests of WP:OUT, I'll skip my guess as to who it really is). Since I'm involved, I'd rather somebody else perform the protection.

Extended-confirmed Protection: Disruptive and/or "test" edits from inexperienced editors. Also, unsourced and/or poorly written content has been added as well. Could the protection please last for a week or so as this will be a widely covered topic for a decent while? Already was semi protected (couple days ago) and the issues are still there. Additionally, there have been some instances of WP:OVERLINKING in the see also and copyright violations with media. Figfires Send me a message! 20:19, 11 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Question: Figfires - Where do you see these "test" edits being made? I looked through the history of this article, and other than reverts from edits by a now-blocked account, I don't see any edits that add or remove content for "testing purposes". If you could respond here with some diffs from recent edits where you saw this occurring, that would be very helpful. :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 22:00, 11 October 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Oshwah: Looking back on that, I don't think test edit was the right term for it... here is one thing I saw. Unnecessary text being added into the template as it auto converts from knots to mph and km/h. Im sure there may be more, but there have been a lot of edits. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Figfires Send me a message! 22:09, 11 October 2018 (UTC) reply
Note: This is one Hell of a current event. People will be flocking here to edit the "encyclopedia anyone can edit". Will leave it up to others to decide whether the commotion is worth the increased usage, but I am reluctant to protect in the absence of edit warring or outright vandalism. -- Dlohcierekim ( talk) 02:32, 12 October 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Dlohcierekim: Some of the grammar in content that has been added is atrocious. People have also messed up references in many ways. Some content has been entirely unsourced while others have dead links in the ref. Additionally, quite a few edits have been reverted/removed for various reasons. With that, overlinking in the see also, some past copyright violations, and several disruptive edits, it would be nice for the article to have more protection as the current issues will only get worse as more information becomes available on the impacts. Figfires Send me a message! 02:42, 12 October 2018 (UTC) reply
Declined I'm going to agree with the other admins here and decline increasing the protection level to extended confirmed at this time and until there's a clear need to do so.

Extended confirmed: Arbitration enforcement. Shrike ( talk) 15:08, 12 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Note: This is a strange case; its under ARBIPA alright, but the only non-EC-confirmed editor is also the creator. As such I don't know that protection serves a purpose other than to ban the creator from editing something they likely created without being aware of the restriction, so my instinct is to say this is best solved by just leaving them a message. Vanamonde ( talk) 18:12, 12 October 2018 (UTC) reply
Declined We don't have to apply protection to an article simply due to the written implementation of a rule. We're encouraged to exercise common sense and good judgment, and to know when applying a technical implementation of a rule will yield no benefit and to ignore it if it doesn't. This case (even stated by the reporter) is clearly within this situation. Taking a quick glance at the AFD comments so far, it looks likely that this article will be out the door soon. Hence, let's not worry about it. :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 18:17, 12 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Declined - The IP and the user account appear to be the same person (the edits are the same and the user created their account after the last edit made to the article by the IP). The user has been warned for 3RR and edit warring; if the reverts continue, please file a report at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Fully protecting the page to stop all editing and due to the repeated reverts by one user isn't a good use of the tool. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 08:41, 12 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Temporary full protection: there is a pattern of disruptive editing here. An established editor has been tagging content with failed verification templates despite that content being supported by reliable sources. Discussion on the talk page has demonstrated that he is not reading the sources in the article, even after demanding to see them, and is responding very poorly to any attempt to point out how the sources do or do no align with his point of view. 1.129.109.141 ( talk) 13:09, 13 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Unprotection: This became a protected redirect as a result of a deletion discussion, so that it could not be reverted to an article. However, the article has essentially been recreated under a new name, so the discussion is moot and the redirect should not be protected anymore - if anything, the article might be moved there in the future given how often Microsoft renames its software. (Note: the protecting admin claims to be inactive.) Modernponderer ( talk) 16:59, 15 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Declined – Why not ask User:RoySmith, the admin who closed the last AfD? It is unclear what you would be proposing to do. If we have an article at Calendar (Windows) do we also need a separate article at Windows Calendar? If you actually want the Calendar (Windows) article renamed, you could use the {{ Requested move}} process. If consensus favors a move, an admin can do whatever is necessary. EdJohnston ( talk) 17:23, 15 October 2018 (UTC) reply
Hmmm, that was four years ago. I don't remember anything about it. But, for what it's worth, I pretty much agree with EdJohnston; since we already have Calendar (Windows), having the current redirect seems to make sense. I'm happy to consider what specific proposal you have which would require unprotecting it, however.

Upgrade the current pending changes to something else: IP and user vandalism recently is destroying the readability of the page. A recent edit that has been just reverted, caused the top of the page to go wako. It is now fixed, however due to the low level of security, vandal user edits are also causing reverts to be seen in the log of the page.

Indefinite protection: (I'm Prisonermonkeys, posting from an IP address; a few months ago I forgot my passwors, so I have been largely retired since then.) About a year ago, GeoJoe1000 got indefinitely blocked after he went on a rampage of abuse and swearing. He blamed me for it, and started waging a campaign of harrassment. The page was protected several times, and each time the protection lasted longer and longer, but GeoJoe1000 would be back within hours of the protection being lifted. He eventually went away, but in the past few days another editor, "BobboSchmobbo" (I'm not going to tag him because I don't want to draw his attention) has emerged, repeatedly vandalising the page. The account appears to exist purely for the purposes of vandalising the page. Indeed, one of the reasons why I have been so hesitant to re-register is because I haven't wanted to draw GeoJoe1000's attention. It's obvious that the problem isn't going to go away, so I would like the page indefinitely protected. Letting GeoJoe1000 get away with his abuse only emboldened him, and recalling his deplorable behaviour, that's only going to make life difficult for other editors. I know it's unusual to be requesting this from an IP, but I'm hoping that editors like @ Tvx1 will be able to vouch for me. 1.129.108.240 ( talk) 04:25, 20 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Perennial vandal and wikistalker's favourite anon IP's block expired

In 2017 my contributions attracted the attention of two wikistalkers, both of whom were eventually indefinitely blocked. At least one of them continues to wikistalk me, through anonymous IP addresses. The edits, below, are all direct reversion of edits I made, by IP contributors, who didn't respond to the discusion on the article's talk pages. FWIW, last year when I drew another instance of their vandalism here, an administrator characterized that obvious vandalism as a mundane content dispute, and admonished me for edit-warring, although I had not passed the WP:3RR barrier, and, even if they had, my edits would have qualified for exemptions 3 & 4.

Permanent Pending-Changes protection: A lot of the vandalism is being done by IP addresses. Although these vandal edits are spaced out, every other edit is either a vandal edit or a revert. This vicious cycle does not only span the recent 50 edits view, but goes way back to like 2-4 years ago when it seems like it started.

Semi-protection: User vandalism with the vandalism edits being removed from history by admins or anti-vandal bots. Most vandalism is spaced out between the dates, however its almost each and every other edit is a revert or a removed page edit from history(strike-thru in edit history). According to the page deletion log most of these vandal edits have the edit removed from history due to a "RD2: Serious BLP violations". These vandal edits are being done mostly by user accounts as a majority, and the remainder being IP addresses. The most recent vandal edit happened only recently. There is not much detail that can be seen from my end at what specifically was the vandalism that was done to the page, as it has a strike-thru and gray font color with no clickable link.

@ DBigXray: Amakuru is WP:INVOLVED because he have moved the article as user. -- Panam2014 ( talk) 22:04, 21 October 2018 (UTC) reply
Not move-protected. No, I don't see an ongoing naming RfC as a reason to move-protect — on the contrary. It's clear that moving the article now, before consensus on talk, would be disruptive, and if it's done it can be reverted. Amakuru, an admin, explicitly moved it to "Killing of" as a reasonably neutral stopgap until the RfC is closed. And DBigXray, are you saying the article should be fully move-protected now, until the RfC is closed, and then, presumably, immediately un-protected if one of the other names gain consensus? That seems complicated as well as unnecessary. Several uninvolved admins are watching, so I think we'll be just fine the way it is. Bishonen | talk 11:02, 22 October 2018 (UTC). reply
Bishonen thanks for your kind reply. Yes, I am requesting Full move protection until RM discussion is closed. Once RM discussion is closed based on the consensus, it can be unprotected. Based on the RM discussion, it is clear that community members have strong opinions for and against each title. if you look into the page move history some of them are getting impatient and jumping the gun. yesterday while editing this page, I got edit conflicted twice due to page move. Another reason to protect the page move is due to the fact that this page is currently on the ITN on the main page.-- DBig Xray 11:09, 22 October 2018 (UTC) reply
I can't see where "some of them are getting impatient and jumping the gun". One person moved it to their preferred version before admin Amakuru's intervened. Nobody has moved it after Amakuru's move, which is explained as a neutral stopgap both in the history and on talk. I'm not assuming people will disrupt process just because they have strong opinions, and, as I've already said, in case they do, several admins are watching. I think we have talked this through sufficiently and to spare now on this board, DBigXray. Bishonen | talk 11:25, 22 October 2018 (UTC). reply

Disruptive, inappropriate, and just out-right vandalism has occurred. Majority of IPs have contributed, however also by other users. The other sexual orientations are indefinitely protected, so I believe this should be as well. 20DKB03 ( talk) 02:21, 23 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Templates subsequently moved

Reduction in protection level: From full protection to unprotected. These templates were moved and redirects created in their place, and therefore full protection as a high-risk template is no longer applicable. All have relatively low transclusion counts. High use is considered >2000. Thanks. -- Bsherr ( talk) 00:00, 25 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Not done I have already declined these once so to come back here hoping for a different answer 2 days later is not going to work; these are redirects that are unlikely to require editing, and all are transcluded over 100 times. I see nothing in a policy anywhere that says high use is considered to be over 2000 transclusions. Wikipedia:High risk templates explicitly says There are no fixed criteria, and no fixed number of transclusions. Given that these are redirects, a couple of hundred transclusions is sufficient to keep the protection on. Fish+ Karate 09:34, 26 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Consistently vandalized PW articles

A user (or series of users) continually are editing the below pages adding unsourced and unconfirmed information (its not even rumored from what I can tell). Every instance its under a different IP or user name, here are some examples [60], [61], [62] (blocked for these edits), [63], [64] (blocked for these edits), [65], [66], and [67] (blocked for these edits).

Being that this user has been blocked 3 times yet continually evades to make the edits, I request the pages be locked for an extended period of time to avoid the vandalism. I believe 3 months until next year's schedule is released should enough, and is warranted based on WP:GS/PW.

I concur in this request. JohnInDC ( talk) 19:43, 26 October 2018 (UTC) reply
I'm surprised that this request has languished, so let me make it a bit clearer. CalebHughes was blocked for disruptive editing, including edit warring, and responded by evading his block through the use of multiple and different IPs. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/CalebHughes/Archive. He has continued to evade the block. Because he edits from a variety of IPs, it's not particularly practical to track them all down block them. Instead, page protection for the articles on which he is currently fixated seems the better solution. If this user wants to resume a productive editing career, he can seek an unblock from the master account, promising not to edit disruptively, and promising not to evade future blocks. The resolution should not be simply acquiescing in his current (block-evading) edits just because they are not in and of themselves objectionable. That's the basis for this request. Thanks.

Unprotection: This is an old template that used to be used because the current functionality of {{ lowercase title}} was not, at the time, technically possible. It also used, at the time, to be very high-risk; in fact, it was originally protected so long ago that I haven't been able to figure out who the protecting admin is (you could even make a plausible argument that it was me, back when I was an administrator, because I was responsible for the swapping of the old and new lowercase title templates). However, nowadays all the pages that want its effect use {{ lowercase title}} instead (which is now possible due to upgrades to MediaWiki in the last 10 years); this sort of page (formerly very widely used, but superseded) is often kept around for the historical record, but there's clearly no longer a risk that would require template protection, and it's better for pages to be unprotected unless there's a good reason to protect them. -- ais523 21:29, 28 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Unprotected (but move protection left at semi). It hasn't been touched since 2009 and the use count is quite low; I agree that the template is quite old and mostly unused now that a newer template is now used in-place of this one. Keeping move protection because, while it's old, it shouldn't be moved unless there's a good reason to do so and should be done following a request that's reviewed and accepted. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 09:40, 29 October 2018 (UTC) reply

There was a consensus to remove the old version of the page with scores for each game. That was replaced with basic tables and I have now replaced those with episode tables. The old version was being reinstated by mostly IP's so full protection isn't necessary. Matt14451 ( talk) 07:50, 29 October 2018 (UTC) reply
Declined - Not yet. It's only been edited and restored by an anonymous user once since the previous protection expired. The second edit restoring it was quickly self-reverted so I'm not counting this as disruption (probably a good faith mistake). Lets wait and see how frequent this disruption occurs first, and if the article revisions is restored repeatedly on the same day and by multiple anonymous users, file another report here and we'll apply semi-protection (or just let me know and I'll be happy to take another look at it). ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 09:33, 29 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Semi-protection: Constant disruptive editing ( [75], [76], [77], [78], [79], [80], [81], [82], [83], [84]). This is probably still the same person who has been vandalising all these free/open-source related articles for a number of years (that's why I would consider indefinite semi-protection, as the person just never gives up). Blocking is not an option, as (s)he creates a new account for every edit (an IP range block might help, but I'm not sure if this is a case for WP:SPI).— J. M. ( talk) 23:16, 29 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Declined - Not so fast. The edits, while disruptive (since they're breaking things and not improving the article), don't appear to be blatant or in bad faith (with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 edits). I could picture this as a class or group of users trying to work together to learn Wikipedia for the very first time and just making simple test edits and mistakes. If you suspect that these users are an LTA, please file a report at SPI and provide evidence and diffs that show a behavioral pattern or a connection between these users and edits and the edits of other accounts that were confirmed or determined to be from an LTA. As of right now, there doesn't appear to be blatant disruption in bad faith occurring here, and I think applying protection to this article would more than likely chase away a legitimate group of people... ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 03:49, 30 October 2018 (UTC) reply
No, this is really the same person that has been doing exactly this same thing in many free and open-source related articles for several years. Exactly the same edits over and over again. This is definitely not good faith editing. The edits are always the same, the usernames are always more or less the same. See for example the last edit. The same stuff again. Register a new account (the username pattern is still the same—Trushank2000, Snehal2000, Sohail7766), add some stupid edit that someone who sees it for the first time may mistake for a good faith edit, then register a new account, add the same nonsense again etc. etc. This is intentional vandalism. Handling it at SPI is painful and not really effective (the person just keeps creating new accounts). But well, if it's really necessary, I can add yet another SPI request. But this is exactly the same reason (and exactly the same edits and most probably the same person) why for example Free and open-source software is semi-protected. Besides, articles like Open-source software are more or less "done" and very rarely need updating by users who are not confirmed.— J. M. ( talk) 04:08, 30 October 2018 (UTC) reply
J. M., Oshwah contacted me for a CU on this and I told him at first glance it looked like a class and that I didn't feel I personally could justify running one without more diffs to actually show the pattern you're alleging. I know SPI can be a pain, but it honestly just looks like a class now without more context. You very well could be right, but SPI really is the best place to handle this (and having it documented so CUs and admins know what is going on is also kinda a positive.)

Move protection Repeated blanking and redirecting of created article during deletion review. The deletion review template clearly says the page should not be blanked or redirected during the review process. Nevertheless, previously involved editors are persistently blanking the article and replacing it with a redirect to different content. Please move protect the article while the deletion review is in process. La comadreja formerly AFriedman RESEARCH (talk) 01:25, 31 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Semi-protection: With reference to this (Please, see the sockpuppets), Arbaz_khan_Tanoli ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is not only adding incorrect information to Tanoli, a topic which has been heavily discussed and reiterated that Tanoli are not Pashtuns (Please, see the talk page of Tanoli and are of undetermined origins, but, just in case if his attempts fail, he has created another page Tanoli_(pashtun), along with other pages (i.e. Nawab_khel) providing no independent, reliable or academic sources. He has even created Pathan_tribe although there is already a Pashtun tribes. In a nutshell, User:Arbaz_khan_Tanoli seems to be a sole-purpose account (possibly an reincarnation of a sockpuppet) to promote each and everything about Tanolis and making them to be a Pashtun on Wikipedia without providing any independent, reliable or academic sources whatsoever. Please, look into protecting this page and other related matters (i.e. duplicate pages which he created). Thank you.  McKhan  ( talk) 20:35, 30 October 2018 (UTC) reply
