'''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 [[Special:Contributions/2A02:1810:4F0B:500:7791:C6EF:E1E4:5282|2A02:1810:4F0B:500:7791:C6EF:E1E4:5282]] ([[User talk:2A02:1810:4F0B:500:7791:C6EF:E1E4:5282|talk]]) 04:59, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Requests for page protection

You are currently viewing the subpage "Current requests for increase in protection level".
Return to Requests for page protection.

Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:GS/RUSUKR. Only extended-confirmed editors may make edits related to the topic area... The restriction applies to all edits and pages related to the topic area, broadly construed, with exceptions allowing non-ECP editors to chat on talk pages.

There's an IP currently trying to edit-war information on where the bullet entered this person's head out of the article, and ECP should be enforced to require them to engage in talk page discussion rather than edit warring (and to prevent future disruption). — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 16:23, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. A brief burst in the last couple of days. Daniel Case (talk) 20:49, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just came here to request the same, as an IP continue to disrupt against/ignoring talk page consensus, including after it was declined. Requesting that you reconsider @Daniel Case CT55555(talk) 22:40, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That editor is at the brink of 3RR and has been warned. OhNoitsJamie Talk 22:44, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
They reverted 4 times already actually. Thanks for giving them a warning. CT55555(talk) 22:47, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, not 100% sure if I'm counting it correctly. I guess the first one was an edit, not a revert? 1234 CT55555(talk) 22:50, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Revwescol. Someone who's wrong on the internet (talk) 18:34, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Requesting protection for this again because IP vandalisms and disruptions are long lasting. Just spotted this edit [1] which significantly reduced casualties without explanation, the edit remained for nearly 2 hours. Ecrusized (talk) 22:11, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 22:24, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protection: BLP policy violations – Vandalism of BLP by IPs, uncited content etc. CT55555(talk) 22:57, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: IP vandalism resumed immediately when previous block expired. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 23:10, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP editors kept on adding unsourced and vandalism edits since Feb 1, 2023. Cassiopeia talk 23:24, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Vandalism; I suggest maybe indef semi. Thiscouldbeauser (talk) 00:14, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: In the month of February, disruptive editing and BLP violations. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 00:40, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism from various IP users over the last few days; ranging from changing an episode's production code for no reason, to adding an episode not listed in reliable sources. BrickMaster02 (talk) 00:52, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Jalen Folf (talk) 01:03, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Ongoing IP sockpuppetry. DanielRigal (talk) 02:07, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly not vandalism. The edits in question only removed unnecessary and highly subjective phrasing, and better organized things, so that the trial is covered before its aftermath. 79.60.232.33 (talk) 02:16, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The above IP is identified as a proxy via proxy checker. See also Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/BelteshazzarBlaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 02:25, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't affect the content of the edits. 79.60.232.33 (talk) 02:54, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds familiar! ;) Drmies (talk) 03:02, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent edit warring by IP user. BilCat (talk) 03:08, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semiprotection. For as long as this article has existed, every single time it's not under protection, legions of new editors with conflicts of interest appear to remove the contentious (but reliably sourced and entirely accurate) term "multi-level marketing." DMacks has had to waste time protecting this page over and over for the exact same reason for just about a decade now. CityOfSilver 03:46, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Ongoing IP vandalism. Has been protected in the past for up to 1 year. Indef protection would be nice? The nature of the topic being "no rules" "anarchy" (like 4chan as a metaphor) will constantly draw vadnals. Leijurv (talk) 03:48, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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 2A02:1810:4F0B:500:7791:C6EF:E1E4:5282 (talk) 04:59, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
