Pilibhit[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Nardog (talk) 09:57, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question: @Nardog: I may be missing some context here but what makes these edits vandalism? - Aoidh (talk) 17:30, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New York Police Department[edit]

Requesting extended confirmed protection indefinitely.

Reason: Repeated vandalism by IP and single edit accounts deleting the following text, often with false edit summaries (such as saying they just made grammatical changes)

The NYPD has a history of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct, which critics argue persists into the present day.[1][2][3]. 174.197.69.41 (talk) 14:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Please warn any editors using deceptive edit summaries and report them to WP:ANI if they continue after being warned. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 17:43, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism (white-washing of sexual abuse allegations section) over the last few years by anonymous IPs. Godtres (talk) 14:17, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. Partial block for IP range. If the disruption resumes, please submit a new request for page protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 18:07, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Baby boomers[edit]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Nerd271 (talk) 16:18, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. No vandalism, just some edit warring. I've warned the IP, and I assume you're not going to violate 3RR. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:26, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A whole collection of IPs and IP-ranges, according to Geolocate all from the province of Umbria where the airport is located, constantly doing unsourced additions, removing source requests and removing sources. The Banner talk 16:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 19:15, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 United Kingdom general election[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. --Ferien (talk) 16:57, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ordinarily I'd consider this just worth a few days, but given the nature of the vandalism and the extensive RevDel'ing I had to do I decided it was better to protect past the actual election date. Daniel Case (talk) 19:23, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kailash Kher[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Some IPs repeatedly removing sourced content [1] [2] [3]. Also note vandalism in the talk page [4], possible ethnic POV. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:29, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will also log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 18:55, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strasburg Rail Road[edit]

Reason: Repeated addition of unsourced claims by an IP address. Requesting semi-protection for at least 1 month on behalf of another IP editor which brought this to my attention on my talk page. The recent disruptive editing is following 3 months of semi-protection for this article which lasted from February to May. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 17:46, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 19:25, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Acolyte (TV series)[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Lots of disruptive IP changes. Apparently this is an internet thing at the moment. Nemov (talk) 17:54, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. While the article is getting heavily edited (surprise: it's a new show in the Star Wars franchise), I don't see disruption overwhelming the editors currently. Daniel Case (talk) 19:28, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Mosley (broadcaster)[edit]

Reason: This person has recently been declared missing in Greece. He is a British television presenter and the page keeps getting vandalised. It is an active missing persons case which is attracting media attention in the UK. Would it meet the eligibility to be protected? Svampesky (talk) 19:37, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. IP users adding unsourced or poorly-sourced info on a breaking news event is not, IMO, the same thing as vandalism (Of course, other admins may differ). Daniel Case (talk) 19:38, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep an eye on the page because it is facing a little bit of vandalism, per Special:Diff/1227607970. What's the threshold of vandalism on a page for protection to be re-requested? Svampesky (talk) 19:44, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
