September 11 attacks[edit]

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing. 48JCL TALK 14:19, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many of the editors who engaged in the recent edit warring were EC ... upgrading to that level of protection would have no effect on them. If that's what prompted this report, the CTOPS designation allows to impose 1RR instead. Would you prefer that? Daniel Case (talk) 21:01, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the edit warrimg accounts were Extended-Confirmed, then shouldn't the article be Fully Protected so Extended-Confirmed Users can't edit it? 70.50.199.125 (talk) 20:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We only full-protect pages during severe edit wars, and only for a short period of time (like, IME, never longer than a week). 1RR is better when we get to persistent edit warring involving editors at that level. Daniel Case (talk) 03:29, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Declined per the above. I will be adding an indefinite "consensus required" restriction and logging as an AE action. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:23, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

United Nations Security Council Resolution 2735[edit]

Reason: Should get extended protection, as all similar meaningful resolutions on this contentious topic do (e.g. United Nations Security Council Resolution 2720). Risk of vandalism and biased edits is high. CrazyPredictor (talk) 12:08, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mario Hezonja[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Large frequency of unsourced BLP changes from various IPs (and a joke-username account: DODJIHEZONJA, meaning "HEZONJA, COME [implied: to our club]"), pertaining to recently emerged rumors of his club change, which appeared in tabloids; see exampleAlalch E. 14:35, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:01, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kusal Mendis[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations. MacAddct1984 (talk | contribs) 15:20, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:09, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ricochet (wrestler)[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. — Czello (music) 15:48, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:25, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Xennials[edit]

Reason: Requesting protection yet again for persistent unsourced changes by IP editors. This page has had temporary protection applied three times in 2024. Can we please get permanent protection this time? – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:50, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Prefer to escalate through our temporary protection options before trying indefinite. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:31, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of tallest buildings in the United States[edit]

Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – IPs are edit-warring over content addition and removal on the page. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 16:42, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:49, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stree 2[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs adding false information. Been reverted by numerous editors over the last week. CNMall41 (talk) 16:55, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:42, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hunter Biden[edit]

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Just convicted at trial, leading to disruptive editing. CTOPS for post-1992 US politics. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:16, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seconding this request. I suspect indefinite protection will prove necessary, but I'd take swiftly applied temporary protection over extended inaction. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:21, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keffiyeh[edit]

Reason: Palestinian keffiyeh page has edit protection already, and it appears that vandalism-like and low quality edits are being made to the normal keffiyeh page as well. Reference critiquer (talk) 17:40, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Logged as enforcement for WP:CT/A-I. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:39, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nilüfer Hatun[edit]

Reason: Protection removed a few hours ago, already vandalized twice by an IP and a new editor. Sira Aspera (talk) 18:00, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:53, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Russo-Circassian War[edit]

Reason: The War of Edits Dushnilkin (talk) 19:44, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
