Reason: The article on Sindhis should have its protection increased due to the high levels of IP vandalism in the past and to avoid unnecessary edits by non-registered users. This is especially important given that this particular article has been subject to significant disruption from anonymous editors, which could lead to inaccurate or potentially damaging information being added. Increasing protection would ensure that only registered users with a valid purpose are able to make changes, thus ensuring accuracy and consistency for global readers.

Previously, the IP editor had been consistently changing a sentence in the opening paragraph and removing the reliable source I provided, and ignored the words "Do not remove" when editing.

I did not protect the article itself because this is basically a content dispute between those who want to say "massacre" and those who want to say "incident".

They have deleted sources.
They have not engaged on Talk despite repeated requests to.

Since their IP address is not stable (they have used 7 so far), it seems that the only way to stop the disruption and encourage the editor to discuss on Talk is semi-protection.

Unprotection: (Remove 'Pending Changes' reduce to 'Semi Protection') This page has been 'pending changes' protected since 2018 for 'Persistent Sockpuppetry.' I don't think this is a valid reason to have 'Pending changes' applied (it's not 'vandalism') and most pending changes reviewers won't be 'checkusers' anyway.
@
JeffUK: Semi-protection is an escalation from
CRASHlock, not a softening. And provided the article isn't
otherwise contraindicated for it sockpuppetry is indeed a valid reason to use CRASHlock, as much as I loathe uttering that sentence. That most reviewers won't be CheckUsers is
irrelevant; one doesn't
necessarily need that tool to suss out if someone is a sock. —

Not done. I'm not sure whether the sockpuppetry is still an issue, but regardless there seems to be a good case here for pending changes protection: there's been plenty of recent disruption, but it's not so concentrated that PCP would be ineffective. There have also been a number of constructive IP edits (e.g.
[9][10][11][12]) that semi-protection would have prevented.

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Content dispute over the controversy section of the article. I think both parties should have a discussion on the talk page over which particular part of the section do they want to keep or remove but as of now, One party wants to remove the entire controversy section while the other one wants to restore all of it. The constant edit warring is preventing any healthy discussion. The last stable version of the article had the controversy section in it.

As the admin who put this article under ECP a few days ago, I understand why this would be sought. The problem is that once the full-protection expires, it would be necessary to manually restore the ECP.

Reason: Looking at the history of the page, there's been an edit war going on for 1.5 YEARS now. It started on 5 September 2021 with user Smitterdin adding the claim that canon is decided by the fan base, and he has been hounding that page ever since, undoing everyone's work who corrected this. Originally he did so without any source, and later on he just copied a random source from further down the page. Ironically the source doesn't support his claim, it contradicts it, defining canon as "The source material". It does note that not all people accept the concept, but that's a far cry from it supporting the claim that canon is decided by the fan base. Side notes about the opinion of some people have no place on wikipedia, lest we have to add to the Earth's page that some believe it to be flat! 1.5 years of edit wars is too long and he clearly has no intention of stopping. Therefore I request that his unsupported claims be removed and the page temporarily locked, as a sign for him to stop his vandalism

Hello, I'm the user mentioned in this request so I decided to address it.
1) The claim that there is an ongoing edit war that lasted 1.5 years is blown out of proportion. This page was edited 68 times in the last 1.5 years and only a portion of those is edit warring.
2) The claim that I fought against multiple users is false. The edit war 1.5 years ago was conducted by me and an anonymous user who later made an account to post on the talk page. Multiple users agreed with me and there were at least two other accounts (not including bots) who reverted edits on that page.
3) The claim that I committed vandalism is false. I corrected this article in good faith and then I attempted to discuss my corrections on the talk page. The edit war 1.5 years ago happened because the anonymous user involved ignored my requests to take it to the talk page and instead proceeded to re-add the same information over and over again and use edit summaries for talking. I acted the way I did believing I was fighting vandalism which is permitted according to
Wikipedia:Edit warring.
1) the fact that it's not always been the same intensity is irrelevant. I can see in the history page that it's been going on for 1.5 years
2) Multiple users agreeing with you doesn't matter if you can't provide a source to back up your claims. if multiple people agree that "the earth is flat" should be added on the Earth's page, it doesn't matter either because there are no sources to back up that claim. Wikipedia is about facts and not about "x number of people have opinion Y"
3) If you work in good faith, then why did you at first not even use a source and later just copied a source which outright contradicts your claim? The source clearly defines canon as "The source material." notice the full stop there! The added note that some people refuse to work with that is not part of the definition of canon, it's a side note
4) The comparison with flat earth is an analogy to highlight the absurdity of what you're doing, i.e. using the side note "some people have different opinions" as proof that your claim is right, even though the source directly contradicts you. Just like with the shape of the earth, it doesn't matter if some people have a divergent opinion, this is true for any topic ever
Protection would only disservice non-confirmed constructive editors. Possible recourse for this would be partial blocks, but seeing the discussions on the talk page: Declined.

@
Moxy and
Ohnoitsjamie: I don't believe that protection is necessary for a template documentation page, and even if it were necessary, the template-editor level is far too high. The point of protecting
high-risk templates is due to the havoc they can cause because they are transcluded in so many places. This documentation page is transcluded in two places: a sandbox and its parent template. Knock-on effects of disruptive editing for a documentation page are nearly zero. {{Infobox country}} is transcluded 6,000+ times; if you compare it to an incredibly high-risk template like {{Short description}} (5,000,000+ times), its documentation page isn't protected. Nor is the similar {{Infobox}}'s documentation page (3,000,000+ transclusions). Please unprotect it.

Reason: Doug Weller semi-protected this user talk page indefinitely in 2016. I'm not sure why indefinitely, but I would venture to guess the protection has ran its course. I
asked the protecting administrator to unprotect, but they dismissed my request without explaining why the protection is still needed.
On a surface level, I would understand a temporary protection, but Gamaliel is an administrator, which means that their user talk page should normally be open for public editing. If the page is unprotected and Gamaliel is harassed by trolls or socks, any administrator – including Gamaliel – can of course apply a temporary semi-protection.

They also competed in the Space Race, which led to the USSR's Sputnik 1 in 1957 and Yuri Gagarin's orbit of Earth in 1961. The USA caught up in 1969 by landing humans on the Moon.
The article claims the game is set in 1899 but that is not possible as a letter in game states Sirius Black the second still is a Hogwarts student at that time, as he is born in 1877, he would have finished school by that time. Furthermore, a letter between Ursula Black and Phineas Black the Headmaster also states Cygnus Black has just started to crawl. As he is born in 1889, the likeliest year for the game to be set is in 1889 or 1890.

The article doesn't include anything about the controversy over the use of symbols associated with Nazi Germany in the modern Ukrainian miltary (see: Azov movement) and there was an edit war over this. It's a contentious issue but I feel that Wikipedia cannot simply ignore it, omitting it feels like the opposite of neutrality yet we also need context on how Russian propaganda exploits this situation. The edit war was frustrating. I requested the article be protected and now I hope someone can add the relevant information without it being erased.
The 10 Separate Mountain Assault Brigade's honorific name and symbol: 'Edelweiss' is controversial for the association with Nazi Germany's 1 Mountain Division, also called 'Edelweiss'. In light of the Ukrainian military's Azov movement and the parades for Stepan Bandera, this is extremely contentious and the information needs to be presented neutrally.

I act on behalf of Mr Tim Dawson, I can provide a letter of authority if requested via email: joy.martin@ex-seed.co.uk
This page includes the false allegation: In 2019, the Guardian newspaper reported that Dawson - a keen supporter of Brexit - was acting as the public face of the pro-Brexit organisation, Britain's Future[14].The organisation was the biggest single UK political advertiser on Facebook, spending £422,000 campaigning for a hard Brexit.[15] The money was spent buying "dark ads" targeting anti-Brexit politicians.[16] Dawson has refused to answer questions about who funded his campaign.[17]
Mr Dawson has never been arrested, charged or convicted of this and we can evidence this with his criminal record. Under Article 17 The Right to Erasure this must be deleted because it is Inadequate, it is not an adequate representation of him as an individual nor the nature of events. It is excessive as it suggests he is guilty of a crime. It is irrelevant because he has never been convicted or investigated of this and a significant amount of time has passed since. It is inaccurate too. This must be removed. We have edited this out multiple times but one individual under the name: Garnett F has been reposting it despite this breaching guidelines.

This is what it says anytime any one of us students log in and try to edit our school's IP address page! "This page is currently semi-protected so that only established, registered users can edit it.
Why is the page protected?
While most articles can be edited by anyone, semi-protection is sometimes necessary to prevent vandalism to popular pages.
The reason for protection can be found in the protection log. If there are no relevant entries in the protection log, the page may have been moved after being protected.
What can I do?
If you have a user account, log in first. If you do not yet have an account, you may create one; after 4 days and 10 edits, you will be able to edit semi-protected pages.
Request that the page's protection level be reduced.

Make sure to clearly describe which page your request is about, and which change exactly you are requesting.
If you wrote any text, please save it temporarily to your device until you can edit this page." I myself should have the ability to edit such a page, as I have over 10 edits, and have been here for longer than 4 days, but I still get that message if I try to edit our IP address's page while logged in, which shouldn't be possible, as like I said, I have over 10 edits and have been here for longer than 4 days!

Wikipedia must never be used and/or misused to harass anyone. Especially anonymous or non-notable individuals, or any person or individual of the private public at large. Edits constituting harassment such as the ones you have been making to harass RDJ, his cousin, who happens to also be his personal assistant, and other connected celebrities with this particular talk page. Your reverts, well over the three revert rule now, constitute harassment of this individual. Edits constituting harassment WILL BE REVERTED, DELETED, and EDITORS who engage in harassment are subject to BLOCKING AND BANNING.
This WP: HA policy applies to ALL Wikipedia editors, and Wikipedia administrators who engage in harassment, as well.
The harassment noted includes actions by a handful of Wikipedia editors calculated to be noticed by the target(s) and the specific named celebrities, and it IS clearly suggestive of targeting them, where no direct communication takes place with the non-noteworthy private individual, and the celebrities named in the discussion. Editors MrOllie and ElKevbo are guilty of harassment in this matter and their harassment continues unabated in violation of the Wikipedia policy WP: HA pertaining to harassment.

Reason: Requesting permanent semi-protection due to persistent vandalism by an anonymous editor (possibly a group) who has been jumping from IPs and throwaway accounts to blank the article.

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I cannot do this without noting that it probably would be better for the IP user to actually cite some of those reviews if they insist on that wording. Their failure to do so is the only reason I have protected this page.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to
justify protection. One instance of disruptive editing in the last 24 hours against almost no edits this month does not, to me, reach a "high" level.

Do we do template disambigs? I don't see anything in policy at help:template or wp:disambig, so I would be inclined to decline this request, based on the problems that let to the mass deletion of this template and others. Still, willing to hear another admin on if we do disambigs, as templates are not where I usually work.

As far as I know template disambiguations isn't a thing. It'd be better to add hatnotes to both template pages (state and country) pointing to the other. —

Declined as inappropriate for this venue. Given that there was a lot of controversy with the deletion last time, there needs to be an RFC on whether or not this disambig is needed. A single admin shouldn't overrule a deletion and salting discussion unilaterally unless it is blindly obvious.

That isn't how this works, and in any event this is the English-language Wikipedia. Administrators here cannot help with Hindi Wikipedia-related requests. —

Temporary pending changes:BLP policy violations – Article gets two ongoing types of IP edit, and not much else: accurate updates to his current wealth, but also vandalism to say that he's not actually the richest man in the world.

Temporary semi-protection: Long term problems with this page. There have been virtually no edits by new users or IPs which have not been reverted for being either BLP violations or advertising/whitewashing. The page was previously protected on a few occasions, and there really doesn't seem to be much (or any) benefit in allowing new users and IPs to edit this page.

Semi-protected for a period of 1 day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Seems to be the result of a single fight causing the problem, should be forgotten about by then and folks moved on to the next thing.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent
vandalism – Persistent vandalism by IPs as Eurovision season has started and selection controversies keep arising. Please protect the page until the end of May.

Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. Recent event, page well watched. Disruption still manageable.

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent
vandalism – Incognito and IP accounts are edit warring amidst a debate about this article's subject. Proposing Extended Confirmed Protection so that users not logged in and those with a new account may not edit it, and the argument is redirected to the Talk Page.

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Administrators please protect this page with Indefinite Extended Confirmed Protection as several newly made editors and IP users are doing Unconstructive edits on it since the previous Protection expired. They are editing this page like a personal blog spot or fan page sometimes by adding detailed plot which crosses word limit sometimes by removing/adding/changing cast sequence which was done according to original broadcast.

Reason: In response to recent reports from the US intel community, the talk page has seen increased IP disruption. This includes sarcastic
WP:POINTy comments, like
[29] and
[30]. While Talk protection is rare, requesting a temporary semi-protection or similar of the page to limit the disruption on what's already a difficult and contentious topic covered under sanctions, until the topic of the day moves on.

Reason:Here, an IP has added a class of very rare altered edits, it says in the summary
of edits that included photos of the corporate offices and asked a class of questions on the discussion page of another IP about why the Crunchyroll website (the streaming service) was removed from both the infobox and external links when mixing with numerous competitors (
section below) since it merged in mid-March 2022, almost barely a year since it began to consolidate into Crunchyroll itself.

For
this, it has partially reverted to the old edition to be able to migrate the bit of history from the Crunchyroll article, the recently merged streaming service and now it sounds confusing to me that it has the same owner with Sony if instead Funimation is still owned by Sony Corporation of America with a joint venture with Sony Pictures Television and Aniplex's Japanese subsidiary in the United States also owned by Sony. And it gets confused by placing the Crunchyroll website both in the infobox and external links.

Looks like you want your edits protected and your edits are being reverted by @
FilmandTVFan28:. So maybe this is a content dispute and needs discussion on the talk page. I will defer to @
Lectonar: or another RfPP reviewer, but I do not see the need.

I just replied on my discussion page to the user
here It is that I did not disrupt the edition on the Funimation page, in fact, I restored this confusion of Sony and Sony Pictures properties instead of saying that this is the current owner of Sony Pictures Television since 2017. Not Crunchyroll which is currently owned by Sony Group Corporation and Sony Pictures are different things.

Temporary semi-protection: BLP Policy Violations. Persistent BLP violations concerning amount of children from several IP's, probably the same person.

Reason: 4 separate IP vandals (probably the same person) in the last month all surrounding the same general vandalism concept. Requesting pending changes for 3 months.

Temporary semi-protection:BLP policy violations – May need a temp protection since anonymous users keep saying Sizemore has died when he hasn't (officially). MikeAllen15:06, 28 February 2023 (UTC)reply
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent
vandalism – Most of vandalism/disruptive edits surrounds changing his name or adding content around him being "Uncle Howdy" and looks like it started
back in December so requesting two month protection.

Reason: The pronouns of a non-binary character have repeatedly been changed by IP users in violation of MOS:NB. They attempt to hide it as "fixing grammatical errors" or "grammatical corrections".

Not unprotected – Please create a
sourced version of this article in a
subpage or your userspace. When this is done, please make the request again, or ask any
administrator to move the page for you. (Largely for the bot, but also general advice.)
