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)

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)

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)

That editor is at the brink of 3RR and has been warned. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:44, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

They reverted 4 times already actually. Thanks for giving them a warning. CT55555(talk) 22:47, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

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)

2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake

• 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

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)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This is a very heavily edited article. There really isn't a whole lot of IP vandalism or misinformation, but what I saw was inappropriate enough to call for protection. (What is the matter with people, that they think it is cute to vandalize an article about an event that killed 20,000 people??)  MelanieN (talk) 05:36, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

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

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)

The above IP is identified as a proxy via proxy checker. See also Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Belteshazzar ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 02:25, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

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)

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)

Canon (fiction)

• Canon (fiction) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

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)

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.

4) The argument at hand is incomparable to the flat earth argument and only serves to portray the opposing side as incompetent. Smitterdin (talk) 05:41, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

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

(also, I don't think this page is the correct place for a discussion) 2A02:1810:4F0B:500:7791:C6EF:E1E4:5282 (talk) 05:59, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
