semi protection- target of a lot of non constructive edits by IPs and new accounts. One more week's more distance from the release combined with the resumption of school would minimize the maintenance required.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 20:59, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mark Arsten (talk) 21:01, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Continuing vandalism including blanking of sections and also continuous aggressive insertion of non neutral arguments, . Rameshnta909 (talk) 17:20, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Declined Semi-protection would not be effective in the current situation as the users currently disagreeing are all confirmed editors. Continue discussing with other editors to reach a consensus and if that doesn't work seek dispute resolution.

Semi-protection: repeated evasions of block by banned editor. [1] NE Ent 16:45, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. This should be dealt with by reverting their edits (if the call to IAR is ignored). It isn't worth locking the page down and preventing other IPs from editing there as Mbz1's posts aren't that disruptive to the noticeboard at the present. If that changes then we can semi-prot it.

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Ip addressed keep on adding unsourced or poorly sourced information, and removing content. Finealt (talk) 20:05, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP-hopper repeatedly adding promotional trivia (utterly non-notable awards, and "hall of fame" inductions, only intended to draw attention to the companies sponsoring it) to multiple biographies of porn stars. One IP was blocked by Malik Shabazz earlier today, and he also semi-protected three such BLPs, but but several more BLPs have been repeatedly targeted by multiple other IPs.

(Non-administrator comment) Quite honestly, I don't think there's enough recent disruptive activity (yet) to justify protection (especially in the case of a talk page). Armbrust The Homunculus 05:54, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
You are dealing with this: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Lamrongpeng5. A serial sockpuppeteers vandalisng the article and talkpage. I have lost count how many are already blocked, but the SPI-case already lists 22 accounts. How many were blocked afterwards I don't know, but many. The Banner talk 06:02, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Indefinite template protection: Highly visible template – Template:Diff is fully protected and this template is based on {{Diff}} with an intended use of the same faction. Do to the fact that this template is intended to create an undo link that would actually change a page rather than just display a certain revisions contents, I would think it to be at a higher risk than its counterpart. I'm requesting a maximum of TE protection at this time to allow me time to do some more thorough sandbox and testcases testing. Upon completion of that testing, I will request full protection to match that of {{Diff}} or I will request {{Diff}} be lowered to TE (which may be more appropriate). Thank you. Technical 13 (talk) 02:08, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Comment That's not really a good reason to request protection for a template, which has only 1 transclusion yet. ({{Diff}} is protected because it has more than 9,000). Armbrust The Homunculus 02:22, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Regrettably the previous short-term protection templates have not been able to eradicate persistent vandalism on the article. Whenever a protection template is lifted, it's only a matter of time before the vandalism starts again. The most recent protection template was lifted on 28 December 2013. Within just a few days, the vandalism started again on 1 January 2014. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 01:19, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

EDIT WAR. After User:Drmargi failed to answer my reasons for adding a new field for Episode Titles on the talk page for many months, I proceeded with my changes which were reverted unbeknownst to me as I was editing that night. Now I discover how this editor apparently gets into revert wars with the other editors via the talk page. I feel I am correct because the editbox field says Title and that is different from restaurant name. AFAIK, there is no restaurant named Holiday Impossible. All of the information I added is verifiable at foodnetwork.com and amazon.com. I borrowed the setup for the new field from Bar Rescue, Mystery Diners, Restaurant Stakeout, etc., articles. Apparently, Drmargi believes those articles should conform to her format. Anyway, if I had known the information was being reverted as I was writing, Drmargi would have been forced to decide whether to violate WP:3RR. Mark my words, this person will revert my update immediately yet again, and the table is hard enough to set up. She cites WP:BRD, but reverts should not be this disruptive. Please lock down the article with my changes so that the other editors may see it and tell me where to go to hash this out peacefully. MMetro (talk) 00:48, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Declined, I don't see quite enough disruption to reprotect, but feel free to report again if disruption continues. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:25, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

The article was protected because one editor edit warred to remove massive amounts of content, against the objections of four other editors. There is a clear consensus (except for the original edit waring editor) on the talk page to restore the content that was removed. Page protection is not necessary when there is only a single editor acting against consensus.

On the talk page discussion, there seem to be three camps: one editor who believes the material and the article should be deleted; two editors who want the article deleted, but have not explicitly commented on the appropriateness of the 28,430 bytes of removed content; and ten editors who have asserted that the content should remain and that it conforms to our policies.

I have followed process by asking the original page protecting admin. They responded "if a consensus does emerge that the page should be unprotected/reverted, please ping an admin to do that and point them towards this posting as a reason that I can't do so."

Thank you.- MrX 15:57, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

With respect, Armbrust, I really don't think you're familiar with the history of the article. There have been well over 10 socks, possibly as high as 20; most of the others are listed under a different master. Indefinite semi-protection on a frequently vandalized BLP is not overkill, and it needs to happen - this defamation HAS to stop. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:00, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

I don't see an official protection request in the WP:RFPP archives, and it's important for the normal operation of the reference desks that IP users are allowed to post. There doesn't seem to be any major vandalism currently taking place. The protecting admin has been notified. Tevildo (talk) 21:40, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Not unprotected Have another look at the page history, there is definitely some sockpuppetry and vandalism making semi-protection unfortunately necessary. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:42, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

The protecting admin stated: (Changed protection level of Disappearance of Madeleine McCann: Persistent vandalism ([Edit=Allow only autoconfirmed users] (indefinite) [Move=Block all non-admin users] (indefinite))).

This is absolutely not true. So far as I can see there was a content dispute which I guess has long since been resolved, but the article is now permanently unavailable to non-registered users. There was no vandalism. Can it please be unprotected. Thanks. 86.29.59.246 (talk) 16:38, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Note: The IP is confused here, that is the most recent log entry, but it was actually the restoration of indefinite semi-protection after the expiry of temporary full protection on the article. It has been semi-protected since November 2010 in response to sock attacks, which is why there's no recent vandalism in the history. Mark Arsten (talk) 16:50, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
Agreed. However, 3 to 4 years protection on this type of article is unwarranted, so I suggest it is unprotected and see what happens. 86.29.59.246 (talk) 19:04, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

OK, I asked him. 86.29.59.246 (talk) 22:19, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

I'd like to ask that this remain semi-protected to prevent BLP violations. The McCanns have been under attack on social media for years, and it's likely to spill over into the article if it's left unprotected. SlimVirgin (talk) 22:37, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

BLP violations are just as likely to come from registered users. It could be unprotected as a trial. 86.29.59.246 (talk) 00:25, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

You could ask Courcelles and SlimVirgin if they would consider pending changes level 1. However I'm inclined to agree with them that the BLP vios would likely return. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:39, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, a possibility. I'll maybe pick it up again tomorrow. However, I would point out that SlimVirgin is a regular editor on the article, so he should not make a decision, though obviously his opinion counts as much as anyone else's. 86.29.59.246 (talk) 00:50, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
There's an ongoing libel trial in Lisbon that is drawing to a close. It's a case that the McCanns brought against someone who accused them of involvement, with closing arguments due to begin on Tuesday, I believe. This would therefore be an even worse time than usual to lift the protection, because if the case goes against them it will trigger another wave of anti-McCann sentiment on social media (not that it ever really stops).

John Reaves thanks... I see you didn't use the "small=yes" parameter which yields a large box at the top of the article. Was that intentional? My usual preference is to use the small=yes parameter to yield just the small lock icon. If leaving that off was intentional, OK. Zad68 20:34, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

With full protection, I always use the full template as it draws potential third opinions to the talk page as well as explains why the article isn't editable to those that may not be familiar with our processes (especially this process as it is somewhat extraordinary).

Multiple articles with PC2 protection

I'm not sure what the best place to ask for this is, so I'm asking here
  • Please go through all pages in Category:Wikipedia pending changes protected pages (level 2) and 1) verify that they are indeed at "Pending changes (level 2)" and if not, change the erroneous protection-template on the page so they can be removed from this category, and 2) since "pending changes (level 2)" is not yet approved for use on the English Wikipedia, either change the protection level to something appropriate - probably semi- or full-protection - but first check the talk page to see if PC2 was placed there after a discussion and consensus (in which case IMHO WP:IAR applies and the PC2 setting should stay). davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 05:34, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
I tried similar request in WP:AN, but no consensus on downgrading protection. --George Ho (talk) 06:45, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
When was that? Also, part of my request is to verify that the protection-templates match the actual protection-level. It wouldn't surprise me if at least one of the pages was mis-templated. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 07:12, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Callanecc, it is still claiming to be cascade protected when I go to edit it. Must be used in one of the other templates on the page and cascading through that template to this one. Technical 13 (talk) 04:30, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
It's transcluded on around 6000 pages any of which could be doing it, so unless there is an easy way to find out which one. You might need to do it the old fashioned way. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:38, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: I previously requested pending changes protection on this page, in the hopes it would stop the overwhelming number of vandalism attacks on this page. Unfortunately since pending protection was put in place 114 attempts of vandalism have still be made, several of which have been accepted by other users as the vandalism appears innocent to the casual observer (user(s) keep adding films to the list that were not released until several years after the awards ceremony was held). Having pending changes protection on this page has actual made it more difficult for me to fend off the overwhelming number of vandalism attacks as I now have to also check all accepted changes. Please change to indefinite semi-protection. This page has been regularly vandalised since 1 month after I created it and has now been vandalised over 300 times.

Indefinite semi-protection: If you look through the history, most IP edits are reverted. The article already has a woeful lack of sources and a lot of unsourced info and based on the history IP's are not doing anything to help as most of their edits get removed even if it isn't blatant vandalism because they don't understand WP:STYLE.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Mark Arsten (talk) 08:42, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
I'm guessing you did not actually look at the article history, @Mark Arsten:. Within the past month, virtually all IP edits have been reverted. What is your definition of recent? Look how many reverts there are within just the past 50 edits: 12. It is clear IPs are not being helpful and it's better to just protect the article than constantly reverting their edits. Please reconsider, otherwise I am going to re-add this once it disappears. Cadiomals (talk) 17:36, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
The last 50 edits were made in a timespan of three months. 12 reverts in 3 months is certainly not enough. Armbrust The Homunculus 17:47, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
You're welcome to ask for a second opinion from another admin if you like, but I agree with Armbrust. Looking at the history, I only see three reverts in the past two weeks, which is less than I like to see when semi-protecting. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:59, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
My thinking would be the rate of reverts over the frequency of reverts is more substantial. If you expand the history to the last 500 edits, I counted 92 reverts. Although they were spread out over a year and a half, there basically hasn't been an IP edit that wasn't reverted, because they do not understand WP:STYLE, sourcing, or appropriate content. Instead of continuing to do this, protecting the article would end the problem altogether and allow confirmed editors to pursue a higher-quality article without worrying about IP's ruining it. But very well, I guess I'll just have to keep it on my watchlist. Cadiomals (talk) 18:22, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

...so I am asking that to be modified to:

Fixed pointer to the actual article rather than the redirect, which is not getting vandalized. I'm uncertain that a semi-protection is warranted, I don't see that much vandalism in proportion to the importance of the article. I'd say it's more editing tests and misguided edits than real vandalism, and I'd say that they're pretty manageable for now. Snowolf How can I help? 18:48, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Technically yes under the notion that if you can't protect a thing you don't actually have declining authority either as a result but as that's less a established unwritten rule and more an ethical choice it's not against anything and nobody has disciplined against him which is fine, doesn't require an admin to make an easy, non-tool requiring decision like NACs. I don't decline simply because it's more trouble than it's worth to be told you're wrong. There was a minor discussion over on the talk page a while back about that but it was more "give Armbrust the bit" than actual ramifications of smaller cogs like me doing it. tutterMouse (talk) 19:26, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Just chipping in - PC might be an option here - Mr Omdo is quite a long-term persistent nuisance on these articles, and I can see why a block on those IPs at the SPI could be too wide-ranging, but there's not always someone familiar around to revert the socking, and the articles have little editing traffic (except the socking) which would be affected.

Indefinite create protection: per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 January 9#Category:Nine Old Men. Armbrust The Homunculus 02:42, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Does create protection on a category really accomplish anything? Pages can be added to red categories, even if they're salted. Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:47, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Not sure what @BrownHairedGirl:'s rationale was for salting the cat if it's meaningless to do it. Even if it had an effect, it's not something that seems to suffer from enough abuse to justify it. tutterMouse (talk) 09:48, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Salting a category is not meaningless. It prevents recreation of the category page, which means that any attempt to repopulate the category will produce red-links. Those red-links will be listed by the bots at Wikipedia:Database reports/Deleted red-linked categories, and can also be seen and corrected by editors whose attention will be drawn to the red-linked categories.
Anyway, having a substantive discussion here is inappropriate; Armbrust's request should be treated as a technical issue. The CFD discussion was closed as salt, and I will now finish implementing that closure. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:05, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Permanent semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism over a long period of time, almost constantly since the article's creation. It's become far more prevalent since the main pages for DoaWK were protected. I'm actually going to request that all of the DoaWK articles be protected since this will only spill over into the other articles once this is semi-protected to prevent IP vandalism. Others aren't as bad as some of the more vandalized pages, but I can guarantee you that if this isn't semi'd now then the vandalism will only spread onto the non-protected pages.

I wish to unprotect Template:Actinium. I do a lot of work editing templates and am kind of baffled as to why this one is blocked (Aluminum, carbon dioxide, gadolinium, etc. aren't). It has 9 transclusions.

Why would he? He is not very active since January 10. George Ho (talk) 02:17, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
Even if he hasn't edited in a few days, there's still a good chance he will respond to a talk page message. Many people browse Wikipedia while logged in, and thus see when they have talk page messages. Mark Arsten (talk) 04:34, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

OP: Messaging him now. Let's see if he responds. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 19:09, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps it was a mistake? I can't imagine this template getting used a huge deal; it's not as if actinium is included in tons of well-known compounds. I won't do it because you already contacted NuclearWarfare (it would be confusing to ask his opinion and then do something before he responded), but otherwise I would have reduced protection to "template-editor protection" without checking with the admin: we've had a project consensus that fully-protected templates should generally have their protection reduced to template-editor, so we really wouldn't need to check with the admin in question.

Temporary Full-protection: and blocks. Callanecc protected it a month ago and left this message on the talk page. The protection expired the day before yesterday and immediately the page was changed by H2ppyme and another edit war resumed. Then yesterday I requested protection or a set of blocks and one of the two people warring was blocked and I was told if it continued to come back and request protection again. So I am back because H2ppyme has continued edit warring. I would carry out the blocks myself but because I reverted to a previous consensus version earlier on this page I am probably somewhat involved. Unfortunately there is a group of POV pushers that have been regularly trying to push their preferred version on these pages and in this particular case the only person who has been blocked this time around is the guy who was undoing their changes back to a discussed compromise from earlier this year. -DJSasso (talk) 15:47, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Why do you think that they're disruptive? --Redrose64 (talk) 18:40, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Redrose: He politely explained why here and on the other talk pages where it happened. I was unaware that this type of mass-request was better handled by a single message here. I've thanked him on his talk page for enlightening me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by davidwr (talk • contribs)
Rose, david is correct, and I actually explained it on all of the pages. :) I've also ticked all of the ones in the list that now have a protection padlock and it seems like a couple were missed. :o are using a banner instead of a padlock... Technical 13 (talk) 20:04, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: BLP policy violations – I emailed the real Bob Newton through "Email this user" to teach him an unblock appeal. However, I'm unsure if the email is still active. As for the "car crash" thing that killed one person, I think that was already resolved in talk page. Looking through history log, that was about dispute over one matter, which the blocked user/article subject was sensitive about. There haven't been sockpuppets or vandalism before the protection. Just content dispute already done and reduced into one or two sentences about two car crashes. The protecting admin is not active since 2013. George Ho (talk) 18:04, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Newton's email address is still active; he was uncertain about me in email. I don't know if he can trust me or anybody else from Wikipedia since he was blocked from Wikipedia. Also, he probably has the alternative account, bobthenewt, not used since, although not blocked. --George Ho (talk) 06:12, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

At the end of the day, it's X96lee15's prerogative as to what they keep, and what they don't. If they don't want their talk page protected, it is inappropriate for it to be, and you should withdraw this request. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 15:45, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

The troll began harassing me because of edits to Bleach (anime) and he persisted in following me to University of Miami (which no one has edited in over a week). And don't lecture me on this. I am not withdrawing this request. This has been done in good faith to prevent further disruption to the project by the harasser which for whatever reason has shifted to constantly messaging X96lee15 and X96lee15 enabling him by not removing the trolling messages which should be removed per WP:DENY and WP:TPO.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 15:53, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

The latter two even acted on moving the page to OneDrive. (A fifth user, 2.29.5.37, changed other articles to link to OneDrive.) This claim, however, has failed verification and are disputed. This name change has not happened yet; Microsoft might change decision midway and choose another name. (It did change mind once with this very same subject!)

Indefinite template protection: Highly visible template – I'm requesting the protection level on this be lowered to  Template editor to allow me to fix the outdated code by removing the deprecated <font> tags and to make a modification to accept cm as an input unit of which there seems to be a consensus for as outlined in my Edit protected request on the bottom of the page. There is still an ongoing RfC on allowing the template to output cm as a value, and consensus seems to be forming to allow this, but it hasn't been closed as such yet and therefor my existing edit request does not include that ability.

Wrong one, should have said this instead. Declined Edits are not vandalism. They look more like a new editor trying to help (for example [114] & [115]) and being told to go away. Try calmly talking to (not templating) them about what they are doing and why they are disruptive and "makes no difference" so that they can direct their efforts some which is helpful.

Plus, you are calling substitution of Uk icon to Ukrainian and ref to Sfn as trying to help???!!! Are you effing kidding me! If he is trying to help, why he A) Reluctant to ask for it ({{help me}} is a god start here) and B) Why so many articles ranging from airplanes and revolts to Popes and Artists???!!!! And no, edits aren't vandalism maybe, but they are disruptive and we have a policy against it! And the editor is not new either, don't make things up! He was editing since May 27, 2013.

My sense is that a lot of the problem edits are not vandalism, but instead from new, probably young, editors who are attempting to be helpful, and just are not doing a very good job.

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – A single-purpose account has had disagreements that Worldcoin should be on the list of "notable cryptocurrencies", and is trying to revert edits to make a point.

Citation Needed | Talk 14:05, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring - User Citation Needed refuses to accept 3rd party valid links, or accept market cap as valid arguements for what is 'noteable'. Worldcoin is #8 in market cap, and traded in ALL exchanges, US and China, whereby Citation Needed believes those and third party links don't qualify. I suspect he has a conflict of interest? and he's trying to eliminate competitive cryptos? another link here for everyone to reference: http://m.nationalreview.com/article/367412/altcoin-investment-dummies-betsy-woodruff http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/2014/01/24/worldcoin-community-funds-well-system-africa/ http://www.libertyglobe.com/2013/12/27/making-the-case-for-worldcoin-as-the-next-big-cryptocurrency/ http://www.coindesk.com/top-altcoins-2013/ http://www.msnbc.com/the-cycle/watch/cashing-in-on-bitcoin-111318083837 http://coinmarketcap.com/mineable.html

I have suggested User Citation Needed to talk with me on his talk page, but he refused and tried to be all righteous by raising this protection? As a returning user, I would like to invite a senior editor to come and objectively review? I do not wish to go back and forth without a judge or jury to decide. User Citation Needed also tried to label me as 'single use account' to discredit me, I have in fact been on wikipedia for a very long time, I find scuh 'smear tactics' from this user biased and unprofessional.

Temporary full protection in order to stop an edit war involving several editors and force people to discuss the issue constructively. This article has been the subject of long-term edit warring over the question of Armenian involvement in the original development of the unique alphabet of the Georgian language. IMO, protection will need to be lengthy in order to accomplish anything. I am too involved in this topic area to be willing to impose protection myself. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 03:38, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Did you mean "create protection" instead of "semi-protection"? Because I don't think you can semi-protect a page that doesn't exist. Jinkinson talk to me 01:47, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
You can in a sense. The protection interface (which you can view here) gives the option to apply any of the four levels of protection for all types of protection (edit, create, move & upload). I've warned the user so let's see if that works before protecting the page. Declined for the bot. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:55, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

  • There is a decent amount of vandalism history, but its not very frequent, particularly for a high visibility article like this. I don't think the recent vandalism justifies protection. Monty845 20:04, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Call me crazy, but it seems a little silly to apply PC indefinitely on articles with little protection history to begin with—particularly when the subject matter would render the action ironic. :P --slakr\ talk / 07:57, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
True but given the looong history of disruptive edits and vandalism the problem is indefinite. Oh I thought of the irony, but more with semi-protection then pending changes. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:26, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
