Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Qed237 (talk) 18:50, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Qed237, can you give examples of the vandalism? It's rather a lot to look through. Sarah (talk) 19:25, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@SlimVirgin: [1], [2], [3] and other revision that has been removed are edits I can find on the spot, but there are also a lot of unsourced edits where IP added players not signed with the club (transfer deadline today). Qed237 (talk) 19:32, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Qed237, thanks, I've added the protection.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – It appears from the log that GorillaWarfare intended to do this yesterday, yet the article is currently completely unprotected and under a bit of a barrage of vandalism. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 19:45, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotection: A baseball player named "Scott Alexander" has just been promoted to the major leagues, so he'll be notable per WP:BASE/N when he makes his first appearance.

List of Steven Universe episodes

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – once again, the page is being subject to rampant vandalism, adding of fake episodes that can be found on no official source. From the edit history, it seems like clear vandalism to me. Artemis Panthar (talk) 17:45, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

America's Next Top Model (cycle 22)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. The series began less than a month ago and every day the page is vandalized repeatedly, adding results from episodes that have not occurred yet and are not sourced. In only the past month, the page has been temporarily protected several times. As soon as the protection is lifted, vandals run rampant. In fact, protection expired last night, and there have already been about 40 edits - most of which had to be undone as vandalism. I would like to request that the page be protected until the finale airs in early December. Thanks SchoolMarm101 (talk) 18:04, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@GeoffreyT2000: Why do you want this unprotected? The page is kept there as a historical archive of how the {{Rfd}} template previously function before its Lua conversion. If you need an edit done to it, I would recommend going to Template talk:Rfd/core and posting a request. Steel1943 (talk) 23:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's absolutely no reason to decline unprotecting an unused template; and no reason needs to be provided for unprotecting beyond the mere fact that is unused.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – A new IP address is attempting to add content with YouTube as a source. However, YouTube is not considered a reliable source and I'm hoping for a week's worth of protection from IP addresses. Khazar (talk) 20:22, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Khazar, I'm declining this for now. "YouTube is not considered a reliable source" is not quite accurate. It's the source, not the medium that matters. For example, the official BBC channel on YouTube is a reliable source. Bearing this in mind, if you think the source still isn't reliable, please post a note on the talk page and see if the IP responds. NeilN talk to me 02:32, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Manual of Style

Temporary full protection for 48 hours or so. Darkfrog24 keeps making undiscussed changes that introduce errors, and editwarring to remove a word the editor doesn't like and has tendentiously been on the warpath about since at least May 2009. There is an ongoing discussion at WT:MOS about whether that particular change should be made, in which the editor has not achieved consensus for this change (it's a change against logical quotation, the quotation punctuation system WP has had since the first version of MOS in August 2002, a subject of perennial debate (in recent years, usually temporally WP:OTHERPARENT-shopped by Darkfrog24) in which the sides, the arguments, the sourced facts, and the consensus never change, but which Darkfrog24 pursues relentlessly, year after year, in a WP:IDHT pattern). The present issue is both temporary(?) conventional editwarring (DF has made this anti-consensus change, to remove "logical", three times in one day [6] [7] [8], and will not take "get consensus first" for an answer), and part of a pattern of very long-term slow editwarring against logical quotation. This new spate closely mirrors, and looks like the beginning of a new version of, the same editor's 5-year pattern at WT:MOSFAQ:

Details:
  • to get rid of or sow confusion about the terms "logical quotation" and "typesetters' quotation", either by hiding them entirely or by editwarring in "British style" and "American style", respectively, to confuse the distinctions and to support the editor's 6-year campaign to undo logical quotation on WP as somehow "anti-American" (despite the fact that British and logical quotation styles have been conclusively proven to be different and that many American publishers use logical quotation, demonstrated repeatedly in years of re-discussion of this issue): [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
  • and/or to try to paint this as not a matter of well-sourced facts, but just as the opinion that some editors have arrived at: [14] [15] [16] [17] [18], [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] (note denigration of counter-arguments as "stupid")
  • and has pursued this slow-editwarring tactic relentlessly after multiple editors object, as here: [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32], including attempts to compromise [33].
  • Darkfrog24 has even tried to turn MOS's own FAQ into a rallying point for "challenging MOS" to get "satisfaction": [34] and is insistent about it [35] over objections.

The long-term issue may need to be addressed at ANI, but a repeat of what has happened at/to WT:MOSFAQ needs to be prevented at MOS itself in the short term.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  10:22, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined I'm thinking of declining this as the issue is bigger than a simple full-protect; there is a clear edit war on the MOS FAQ and a quick look at the talk page reveals the area is under discretionary sanctions (see here). I'd recommend taking this straight to WP:AE. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:42, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the immediate editwarring is at MOS; the MOSFAQ one is a slow-editwarring thing over a long period of time. I don't know if AE does anything about that sort of thing, nor what the AE grounds would be for either case (I tend to stay out of AE, from past negative experiences with a AE-regular admin who is not MoS-friendly, so I wouldn't know how to go about pursuing such a request anyway). WP:ARBATC is mostly about attacks and incivility, not editwarring, though maybe I need to read it again and see if anything in it can be used to address this stuff. This sort of "civil POV-pushing" is specifically designed to evade action under NPA-based ArbCom cases like that. The reason I asked for an FP on the MOS page is that a day or two of stoppage is probably long enough for regular watchers of the page to notice the issue. I can't keep undoing DF's disruptive edits on my own or it'll just make me editwarring, at least as a technicality. I'm skeptical that reversion of blatantly anti-consensus alterations to major guideline and policy pages is certain to fall outside the standard exceptions, but I don't like to seem as if trying to game the system myself. If something isn't done, though, this pattern of trying again and again and again until one day enough people have given up is destined to WP:WIN just by sheer attrition. The mess that's been made by this editor of the MOSFAQ proves that conclusively, and we've seen this effect before on other kinds of pages, e.g. by slow civilPOV warping of many of the articles on Pakistan (see Signpost article on that), etc. I've been super-extra patient with this editor's WP:IDHT disruptive/tendentious editing patterns at MoS (on multiple issues, this is just their main one) for several years, but enough is enough.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  13:04, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And that is fine there is no hard and fast rule here. I believe that locking a page when people are arguing over something is much better than blocking. If blocked they can't put forward their opinion on the talk page. If they can express their views then it is possible that consensus can be reached.

Well, this seems like a judgement if it is by a simple unregistered user, then it is best to block the IP indefinitely and add either PC to the requested articles, while the other IP addresses and new users can still edit the pages you are requesting protection on can get their changes edited. If administration find it necessary after blocking the suspected IP address user, then they can semi protect it, thus not allowing new and unregistered users to edit, even if they are making faithful edits, forcing them to use the talk page instead. I'd rather say Block the IP address and add Pending Changes for a while (I most can go for a month), thus allowing edits to be reviewed unless this continues with others, and then semi could be good.

Indo-Pakistani Naval War of 1971

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Faizan (talk) 14:26, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This page is consistent of disruptive fighting between sourced and unsourced. I best agree with either temporary or indefinite, but I don't know if all of the ones causing this war can be blocked, or if the page can indefinitely be pending changes added, so I'd rather go the easier way and do a semi protection that is indefinite for good faithful editors that can prove what is true about this subject. Vmkcheat (talk) 14:46, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there has been persistent edit-warring there. The IP has been warring with several accounts, and has not tried to use the talk page, per WP:ONUS. Till now, the IP's edit is the latest revision. So I would suggest indefinite protection too. This may help in resolving the dispute at the talk. Faizan (talk) 15:19, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There is another thing to be noted, that's the IPs appeared after the user Astral Prince was blocked and was also reported to be socking. Both of them have same motive and almost all the IPs appear to be from the same ISP and area. Faizan (talk) 15:23, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In reply to Faizan, people who do edit warring to attempt to get a point across usually risk getting banned by administration. There is no possible good faith when some IP users or new users who wish to put a good faith edit would be forced to lose such a priviledge to edit a article when they can prove in good faith that the information could be put on a talk page and be reviewed. There is many possible options, but there isn't a whole lot of things that can be done, usually administration can add pending changes for new and unregistered users, in which a administrator can review and accept confirmed information, along with the main reviewers of the site, but think about it, if it is disruptive and semi is necessary, then any new or unregistered wikipedia user that can make a good faith edit for the article you're requesting would need to talk to a administrator or a user who's autoconfirmed in order for them to make such edit. It is up to administration to decide, but I recommend blocking the IP address of the people doing such and then protecting the page (Either PC or Semi, whichever works best) and hope the admin provides the reason.

Well, if a IP based wikipedia user is making this kind of edit, the user can either be blocked or pending changes can be added, in which it would be subject to review rather than forcefully prevent trusted IP address users and new users who have registered a account from making good faithful edits, but that is left up to the administration to decide which is better, in which I would rather advise all the edits to be subject to a review to promote compliance with unsourced or poorly sourced content rules, in which content has to be sourced so the page is more accurate and the information is more reliable if sourced. --Vmkcheat (talk) 12:08, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP POV vandalism. An anonymous IP editor has constantly inserted information that is not in the cited source. He is putting in the infobox that 122 Saudi soldiers have been killed in the intervention, while the cited source only says 122 Saudis have died since the start of the war, without saying they are all military. The IP than speculated in his opinion (OR) that they are referencing to only soldiers and ignored the fact (which was quoted to him twice) the source itself says the figure includes civilians, albait unclear how many. He proceeded to make several reverts to the improperly cited info as seen here [39][40][41] with the last revert totally ignoring the quote confirming the figure includes civilians. PS His last revert also canceled multiple other edits by another editor (in essence it was a mass revert). The IP editor in question has also made a few more unexplained reverts of a few other editors over the last couple of days. EkoGraf (talk) 19:15, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Full Protection: Page was semi-protected on 3 Sep for persistent disruptive editing via rumors for the List of Protected Games. After semi-protection was enacted, an autoconfirmed user that has not logged in to edit for 6 years made another edit that subsequently had to be reverted. I am kind of hesitant to recommend it be protected this far since this is a relatively dynamic article and is likely to have valid edits spanning over the six months, especially near the end of the year holidays. But the rumors are not likely to go away either. Thanks. Inomyabcs (talk) 13:42, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@CambridgeBayWeather: Per WP:TPE, "any administrator may change the protection level for individual templates on request". This is common sense, as there is (was) a very large number of protected templates that need to be reduced to TE. Alakzi (talk) 22:08, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
But this page above says, highlighted in yellow, "if the protecting admin is inactive or you have already asked them." CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 22:11, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That is exactly what the WP:TPE instructions aim to circumvent. A blanket reduction in protection from "full" to "template editor" to (nearly) all templates has been sanctioned by the community, and thus the opinion of the protecting admin is not typically solicited, as it would serve no purpose - but slow down a process that is quite laborious as it is. In fact, the second bullet point below the highlighted text reads: "Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first".

Given that there have been no edits, or requests, since 2012 I wouldn't see that it needed reducing in protection.

@CambridgeBayWeather: All high-use templates are template-protected, with very few exceptions (transcluded on the main page; transcluded on interface pages; or transcluded on an extremely large number of pages, typically over a million). {{IPA-en}} is deprecated in favour of {{IPAc-en}}, has only got a thousand transclusions, only 54 of which are in articles, and could reasonably be unprotected.

I'm not familiar with "template editor". If that's someone trusted to edit templates, then yes, it should be reduced to that level. It would probably be okay unprotected, but given that there are few articles that still use it, it could be quite a while before anyone realized it had been vandalized, and I'd feel better if it retained more than just IP protection. — kwami (talk) 22:27, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pingingi HJ Mitchell again but it's not likely to be unprotected, it's attracted more than its fair share of disruptive bored kids making unconstructive edits over the years and racked up a lot of semi-protection periods up until being protected indefinitely. Some articles are just too high a liability given the sheer amount of disruption and editor time wasted patrolling it unprotecting would allow, this is one of them. tutterMouse (talk) 19:43, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I very rarely use indefinite semi protection, but this is one of those articles that simply isn't suitable for unprotection. The signal to noise ratio will go up significantly, destabilising the article and leading to gradual degradation.

European Graduate School

Semi-protection: - I recently restored a passage on the lack of accreditation of this university in the United States. The deleted material is sourced to multiple government documents and websites that affirm it lacks U.S. accreditation. In investigating it further, I found that this information had been stripped out of the article multiple times before. The US accreditation issues are discussed on the talk page going back to 2007. Based on this pattern, I believe that persons affiliated with this university are sweeping the article of factual information that reflects negatively on its current lack of academic accreditation. There have been a number of problems with this article's quality in the past according to its talk page, including frequent observations that edits read like promotional materials for the school. I think it would be helpful and appropriate if a moderator would place this page under semi-protection to prevent it from being used as a promotional tool by the subject of the article. - Quelfie (talk) 21:51, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That said, move protection doesn't affect admins anyway, and David Levy has backed out of the issue. KrakatoaKatie 13:54, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary pending changes: I understand that protecting TFA articles is part of WP:PEREN and generally would not be implemented, but given the nature of this article, running this article as TFA on September 11 without any protection may create some risk for Wikipedia. I think that, at the very least, pending changes protection for when this article is on the main page would be appropriate. sovereign°sentinel (contribs) 11:17, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done We run lots of articles like this as the TFA on the anniversaries of their occurrence or the birthday of the subject. There are always lots of eyes on the TFA. If it gets bad, we'll deal with it then. :-) KrakatoaKatie 13:45, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Constant disruptive edits from IP-editors and section blanking. The article is currently under Talk page discussion for GAR renomination preparations, and IP-editors have been getting more aggressive and making disruptive repeat edits without proper Talk page participation. Multiple notices on their Talk pages. Editors with sign-in accounts are fine, however, and should be allowed access to the article. Requesting two weeks semi-protection which should cover the GAR renomination preparations period for the constructive editors participating. MusicAngels (talk) 15:23, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

MusicAngels has asked for protection of his own bad writing. There is robust talk page discussion about how bad MusicAngel's writing is. In the meantime I have deleted some of the more unclear paragraphs. When they are rewritten for clarity they can go back up. This is not a disruptive process. You don't "protect" a page that is really badly written that many editors have acknowledged is really badly written. 67.135.188.9 (talk) 15:26, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Whoever looks at this please go to the Birdman Talk page and look at the labor that MusicAngels is requiring of other editors to fix his writing. He cannot keep putting poor prose up unhindered. He cannot keep calling any editor who edits his work "disruptive." I think there is consensus that his work is poor.67.135.188.9 (talk)
IP-editor has been asked to idetify their sign-in account name and has been procrastinating for most of this morning. They claim to have a sign-in account and are refusing to indicate what it is. They claim, in this case, to have a regular sign-in account on their Talk page but are refusing to self-identify. At this point, there may be need for reporting this as a sock which can be evaluated during this protection request. Requesting two week page protection for the article since there are responsible editors applying good faith editing for the GAR renomination preparation now in process. MusicAngels (talk) 15:35, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are the one vandalizing the page. Removing constructive edits out of personal animus is vandalism. FearlessTruthTeller (talk) 01:17, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@FreeKnowledgeCreator: How exactly do you know that FearlessTruthTeller is a sockpuppet of Kingshowman? Kingshowman didn't appear to follow the same style of editing as FearlessTruthTeller. --Chevvin (talk) 01:30, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I am very familiar with Kingshowman and his edits. You are making a serious mistake by restoring the edits of a persistently disruptive user who is evading a block. Respectfully, if you had bothered to look more carefully through the revision history of Sigmund Freud, you would have noticed that the edit by FearLessTruthTeller is essentially the same as this edit by TheParrhesiastRises. Aside from that, everything about this user down to the user name shows that it's Kingshowman. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 01:37, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I agree that FearlessTruthTeller is a sockpuppet. However, why were the edits worth reverting? They aren't vandalism or disruption, and they're simply explaining the Oedipus Complex in more detail. --Chevvin (talk) 01:40, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Kingshowman has become a persistent, disruptive nuisance. He seems to be on some quest to show how important and "intellectually serious" he is by expanding the leads of articles about philosophers and other famous figures beyond all reason, making them so bloated that virtually no one would want to actually read them. It's wrong in principle to encourage this person by restoring any of his edits. If you really want to discuss the lead of the Freud article, the talk page of Sigmund Freud would be the right place to do it. 01:44, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

I am not "disruptive" or a vandal- the only reason I even got blocked is because I said you'd never read Heidegger and later you admitted I was right and you hadn't read Being and Time. What is the point of your grudge?FearlessTruthTeller (talk) 01:44, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, a de facto admission of sockpuppetry. Now can this disruptive nuisance be blocked and his edits reverted? (He was blocked for persistent personal attacks, socking, and the usual roster of things editors get blocked for, not the nonsense he mentions above). The user's continued editing of Sigmund Freud is disruptive in and of itself, since it's block evasion. The article needs protecting regardless of the quality of Kingshowman's edits, which, in my opinion, is poor. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 01:59, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

French language

Long-term semi: Low-level but chronic population inflation. An online source promoting the French language has an inflated estimate of the number of native speakers (by about 50%, from ~75M to 110M), contradicting published figures from the French govt. that agree with multiple linguistic sources and have been discussed on the talk page. It seems every other time I come back to this article, the online figures have been substituted again. (There's even a warning on the web site: AVIS : Les opinions exprimées dans ce site sont celles de l'auteur et n'engagent en rien ni la CEFAN ni l'Université Laval 'WARNING: The opinions expressed on this site are those of the author and do not represent CEFAN or Laval University'.)

Fingering (sexual act)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry by an IP giving WP:Not censored more weight than WP:Offensive material in a matter where that shouldn't be the case. The IP is the same IP range as a Cali11298 WP:Sock; see User talk:Flyer22/Archive 19#User:Cali11298 trying to brag about WP:Sockpuppeting for more detail. Given the persistent nature of this WP:Sock, I suggest that the Fingering (sexual act) article be semi-protected for two months. But one month is also fine.

This edit-war has spilled over to the point that ClueBot has twice restored what, to a human, would be obvious vandalism (and this has been brought up at Cluebot's talk page). It's time for the disruption to end, please protect the page. Etamni | ✉ | ✓  00:40, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection, since it's had to be protected twice already this year for the same issue; For months, this article has been under assault by anon-ips who, despite repeated calls for evidence, provide not and utter not a word of discussion about a specious claim that the billionaire article subject has four children, not two. The additional purported children cannot be documented, as it's beginning to appear as if parties with an agenda are trying to use Wikipedia as a basis of claiming paternity for two ostensible out-of-wedlock children who may or may not be his. Levering Wikipedia to press paternity claims is reprehensible, but the monetary stakes seem high enough for this iP-hopping editor to risk it. Wouldn't be the first timewe've seen people tty to manipulate Wikipedia to push a dubious claim.---Tenebrae (talk) 14:15, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Callanecc. The edit history clearly shows that he was reverted by three different editors. I still feel that the article should be WP:Semi-protected for at least two months, though. This person does not give up, as his editing at the Age disparity in sexual relationships article and its talk page show. Also see past commentary at the User talk:143.176.62.228. Flyer22 (talk) 08:31, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Given it's just one person I'd rather focus on blocking the IP rather than protecting a page and preventing everyone else from editing it. The IP (given how long it took for it to change last time) is fairly stale so can be managed that way. I'd suggest disengaging from their talk page though.

Unprotection: There is no need for the protection. Look at the history and the talk page. Vandals don't want to discuss, they just revert my edits and then ask for protection!

Earth system science

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring - All reference to Gaia theory has been repeatedly removed from the Earth system science article, starting with Toby Tyrrell, perhaps the most prominent published critic of Gaia theory today and the author of a book that purported to disprove it, who himself removed some editor's inclusion of such material, in November, 2014. This was done without any discussion on the Talk page, and with a simple summary statement suggesting that such material was "irrelevant" to Earth system science. Since then, my own more recent reintroduction of similar material has been removed repeatedly and continuously by a few editors. Please note that I initiated lengthy discussions at the Talk page about the problem. Among the editors who have been engaged in this behavior lately, one had been blocked previously and cited for blocking evasion (Prokaryotes), and another seems to have been cited for vandalism (Isambard Kingdom) and edit warring. One of them sent me an edit warring warning, although I have tried to be careful not to remove other editors' work at all whenever possible, while all of my additions have been removed repeatedly. Thanks very much for your consideration of this matter. Terradactyl (talk) 06:09, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined, full protection is not warranted in this case since this is a content dispute, and one side would just gain an advantage. Please try usual dispute resolution avenues.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:22, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • And MastCell, if these edits were somehow associated with the TM movement or organization or whatever, they're pretty darned ignorant given the appparant lack of understanding first of Wikipedia, and second of the history of that article and its most contentious sentence. What would be the point? Fairfield is a town of 11,000 or so with a population of about 3,000 who claim to be TM meditators not including a small university. There are numerous other new agey kinds of groups. Think of Boulder but much smaller with the same kind of new age vibe. Anyone could have decided to edit this article TM meditator or otherwise... and again starting TM does not make anyone a member of some movement.(Littleolive oil (talk) 20:39, 18 September 2015 (UTC))[reply]

user talk:Connormah

  • User talk:Connormah (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)
  • User talk pages
  • User talk pages are rarely protected, and are semi-protected for short durations only in the most severe cases of vandalism from IP users. Users whose talk pages are semi-protected should have an unprotected user talk subpage linked conspicuously from their main talk page to allow good faith comments from non-autoconfirmed users.
  • A user's request to have his or her own talk page protected is not a sufficient rationale to protect the page.

The talk page of this admin has been semiprotected since 2010, following what appears to have been a brief incidence of vandalism. Admins need to have unprotected talk pages to respond to user requests. The policy clearly prohibits permanent protection of active talk pages. Obviously, I can't inform Connormah about this request. --2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:1EF:5767:E7FB:31F9 (talk) 20:30, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done There is an unprotected talk page (as required) located at User talk:Connormah/Unprotected Talk, which you may leave a message at. There is a link on Connormah's user talk page header. I will leave the ultimate decision to unprotect to Connormah. kelapstick(bainuu) 20:36, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That link does not appear in my browser's view of the talk page. Note that the policy is unequivocal about the requirement that semiprotection is for "short duration" only. I would hope that admins would be àble to enforce routine policy issues like this. Or is there some ambiguity I'm missing? --2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:1EF:5767:E7FB:31F9 (talk) 20:48, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Did you click on view source? I just tried it while logged out, and it shows up for me. I have also suggested a link to the unprotected page be placed in a more prominent location. Regardless, I have notified Connormah of this discussion. --kelapstick(bainuu) 20:54, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Why would I click on view source? That's not something anyone would do as part of leaving a talk page message. If you and the other admin do not believe this policy is still in force than we either need to change the policy or find out why it isn't being enforced. Which do you suggest? --2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:1EF:5767:E7FB:31F9 (talk) 20:57, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I presumed that you hadn't, because it's not an intuitive thing to do. That is why I requested the link be placed in a more obvious location. I suggest you wait for a response here from Connormah, which is exactly what I intend to do. --kelapstick(bainuu) 21:05, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I see that Connormah is active. Can I leave it to you to see that the policy is enforced or changed, or do I need to pursue this myself? --2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:1EF:5767:E7FB:31F9 (talk) 21:14, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The user has made a dozen edits in the hour since you posted the notification on his talk page. It looks like he does not intend to make a reply. Since this involves admins failing to enforce unambiguous policy, it seems like the next venue is WP:ANI. --108.91.78.61 (talk) 21:47, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have been linked to the page where you can communicate with this admin. If you actually have something to talk about there is a place for you to go. Are you trying to communicate with this admin or are you just trying to enforce the letter of some rule when the spirit is being followed? Chillum 00:01, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The admin is ignoring both my request to discuss the unprotection, and the comment/request left by Kelapstick. No one is offering any policy reason why this user talkpage is still semi-protected. Does the policy no longer exists as written? If so, I'll go propose some text to bring it into conformity with actual practice. --2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:1EF:5767:E7FB:31F9 (talk) 01:47, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Gamergate controversy

Indefinite semi-protection: The page is already under an edit filter which stops all edits from users whose accounts are under a month old and have less than 500 edits from posting, per discretionary sanctions. The article is still semi-protected on top of this because (in the protecting admin's words) "editing and then not being able to save would just be annoying so I will save new users and IPs this hassle." Quite a lot of IPs have been caught in the filter since semi-protection expired. Can the page be semi-protected again, so they don't have to go through the annoyance of writing a long post and then seeing it blocked by the filter?.

Shyrokyne standoff (February–July 2015)

Full Protection: Edit War. Koonter (talk) 20:07, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The editor in question, Koonter, has been constantly, without any explanation: removing sourced information (along with its sources) making full reverts of my own edits (not just the controversial issue), inserting information that is not per the sources he is citing (violation of WP: OR), and ignores what his own sources are saying. Attempt at sourced compromise wording was made (removed again) as well as a civil discussion at his talk page, with him ignoring most of what I said and even making accusations of bias (not per WP: Assuming good faith), while continuing with his own narrative. I have stopped myself from reverting him further because I reverted him already 3 times, while he himself has reverted me 3 times already. Thus the latest version of the article is with the information not being per the sources cited and other chunks of sourced info being removed. If the article should be fully protected than an administrator should revert it before that to the last good edit, before the edit war started. Which was this one [58]. Regards!

The Darling Buds

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – We have an IP hopping editor who keeps on trying to replace the real singer with this band with the unreferenced claim that it is somebody else, presumably herself. A period of semi-protection should help. The band is not active and so this article would not be expected to get much editing under normal circumstances anyway so maybe a few weeks of protection would not upset anybody?.

Ruptly‎

Indefinite semi-protection: There's a slow edit-war by a pro-Russian government IP-hopping editor to remove negative statements about the nature of Ruptly‎, even though they are sourced in accordance with Wikipedia policy. The editor has been warned about edit-warring - see User talk:178.164.253.214 and User talk:94.21.149.246.

As a result, a disputed tag has been added to the series overview entry, alerting concerned editors to go to the talk page to discuss the matter and perhaps come up with a reliable source indicating the official end of the series. Despite that, at least one IP user is removing this disputed tag, which needs to be present so a reliable source can eventually be found. MPFitz1968 (talk) 16:24, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Earth system science

Temporary semi-protection:

There is persistent edit warring going on, and its origins go back 10 months now: For a long time, the article had a section called "Inspiration in the Gaia theory." I noticed this past spring that it had been removed by Toby Tyrrell himself, perhaps the most prominent critic of Gaia theory at this time, with only the following note:

10:32, 14 November 2014‎ Tobytyrrell (talk | contribs)‎ . . (3,596 bytes) (-5,916)‎ . . (removed section of little relevance (about the Gaia hypothesis rather than Earth system science)) (undo | thank)

There was no Talk page to speak of then, but I started an active conversation there, complaining about this removal as an extreme COI, as the reputation of the Tyrrell, his book with Princeton University Press, etc, was dependent on these things - Earth system science and Gaia theory - seeming unrelated, although even he had come close to equating the two in at least one passage of his book. I then tried to rework the concept of the prior editor, adding more about the history of the interrelationship of these two fields, well-cited statements from prominent figures and academic textbooks about their relationship, etc. The material has been continuously removed by three highly aggressive editors ever since.

WRT WP:LTA, probably, but given the pushback/apathy I received in the past, I thought this would be the easier path to follow. Where I can tell for certain I have made reverts, but in many cases the changes have been small and/or difficult to very if they are correct or not. My area of expertise is primarily with route diagrams; I can check the other transportation articles to a lesser degree, but as far as his other areas of interest (the Buffalo area, and television shows) I know little (and it seems that other editors don't care too much).

Unprotection (or reduce to semi-protection): Page currently template-protected for page moves, but not protected for editing. When I asked the protecting admin if a different protection level was intended, the reply was I think I wanted to semiprotect from editing and misclicked. There is no activity since then, so I don't see a need for correction. [64]. Template-protection is only meant to be used for templates, modules, or other highly transcluded pages (per WP:TPROT) so it should at least be downgraded to semi, if not unprotected.

Genesis creation narrative

Permanent Semi-protection: There is a long standing consensus to use the word 'myth' in the lead section of this article. It has been challenged many times, and each time the challenge fell through. Despite this, and despite a comment embedded within the lead warning against doing so, it is regularly changed by IP and new editors. A handful of users, including (marginally) myself, and (more prominently) Isambard Kingdom have been reverting these changes, but to no long-term avail. I believe that permanently semi-protecting this page will solve the problem, or at the very least, reduce it to a more manageable level. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 17:41, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support: The article is frequently vandalized. Protection that requires a wiki-editor account to make change makes sense and would, I think, promote responsible editing of this important article. Isambard Kingdom (talk) 18:21, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The article has been edited eight times this month, which isn't 'frequently' for protection purposes. KrakatoaKatie 18:59, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure I understand your reasoning here. Would you mind expounding? My concern is that there have been 15 edits in September, out of which 10 were disruptive in this manner (or raw vandalism). That's 2/3 of all edits to the page. If one looks back to the prior 31 days, you get 16 out of 21 edits being disruptive, which is greater than 75% of all the edits. I understand that this isn't a heavily edited article compared to some others, but since there are no hard minimum numbers of disruptive edits given in the relevant policy, shouldn't the categorization of "heavy and persistent" be relative? From where I sit, greater than 3/4 of all edits being either disruptive or corrective of that disruption certainly qualifies as "heavy", and I don't think anyone doubts that it's persistent. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 20:06, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
While I won't overrule a decision of a fellow administrator, I do think both of you have valid points. It seems as though pending changes would actually be appropriate in this case, since the article isn't edited very frequently (and hence wouldn't be ideal for semiprotection), but most of the edits it does receive are disruptive (which would be filtered out through pending changes).--Slon02 (talk) 20:11, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I can do that. Pending-changes protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. KrakatoaKatie 01:17, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Ethnicity in Louisiana

Temporary semi-protection:. Long ago, in the Template:Ethnicity in Louisiana, I included a parenthesis next to the word " Creoles" to placing in it to "Cajuns" and "Isleños in Louisiana," because both peoples are Louisiana Creole people. However, a anonymous user is removing this parenthesis. I put the parenthesis several times and the user removed it in all of them, without even indicate why eliminated the parenthesis in the summary editing. Even I indicated, in the talk page of the user, that he should not remove the brackets and that if he did that he should indicate why eliminated. The user not only did not answer, but he returned to remove the parenthesis that I put.--Isinbill (talk) 20:31, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
