Template:COVID-19 treatments (current consensus)

• Template:COVID-19 treatments (current consensus) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Requesting consensus required restriction (and the addition of an editnotice) for this list of consensuses in a very contentious area, where many IPs have edited against consensus and flooded talk pages with edit requests to non-MEDRSes. See: Talk:Bret Weinstein, Talk:Ivermectin, Talk:Didier Raoult, Talk:Pierre Kory, Talk:Hydroxychloroquine. Please let me know if this is the wrong place for this request! Or if this is otherwise out of order. Thank you for any help you can provide. Shibbolethink ^{(♔ ♕)} 17:41, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Not actioning this myself, but see my note at Special:Diff/1037793069. KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 19:04, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Kevin and Shibbolethink, I'm not sure logging is the issue so much (though, of course, would be required), but rather, adding a CR to a page whose talk page is currently comment-blank (also has no AE talk page notice), which in my experience is quite unprecedented. CR always or almost always is used for pages whose talks are discussion-intensive. It isn't so much a blunt WP:ONUS tool (though, that dimension of course also exists), so a bit of uncharted realms here. And then, there's the matter of enforcement. I suppose the question and-then-then is: who is the lucky admin? Obviously, beyond that, this is RfPP and CR is not a protection action (though where one would otherwise request this action is unclear — don't say ANI, don't say ANI). But beyond-beyond that, why isn't this a protection request that seeks actual protection action? Above all else, that confuses me most. El_C 13:56, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Oh, I think I get it now. It's like a CR Omni bill via the template (a template which an unconfirmed user has never edited), how unconventional (and confusing). El_C 14:07, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Apologies for the confusion. I'm personally not a huge fan of the meta-consensus templates either but they seem to be widely in use in this topic area – which is why I defer to other administrators. KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 14:30, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – A couple days should do. According to Google, there is a transfer negotiation so some back and forth mostly with IPs (along with occasional vandalism) but it is not yet official. S0091 (talk) 20:16, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism (Insulting). Lorenza Sforza (talk) 20:17, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. IP who made insulting material is a permanent banned user from viwiki and Commons. He's got mad because I am cleaning up some of his (obviously unnotable) articles on viwiki. — Băng Tỏa (talk) 20:22, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protection request for 3 articles

Reason: Hi, I would like to request semi protection for the following page please, they are routinely vandalised with verified information being removed, unverified information being added and tables being messed up on purpose. I'm tired of having to restore and save those pages, by restoring verified information and removing unverified information. Thanks.

Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GW, personally, I think it was mistake to increase the M4A1-S mag capacity to 25 rounds from 20, but whatever, the CS gods decided, so I guess that's that. And what do I know, I'm a TMP (also suppressed) man, after all. Anyway... El_C 14:46, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Reason:Low/Moderate level of IP vandalism. User NORADSAKE19 continues to revert the page back to a version with an uncited claim regarding the athlete's coach in the intro and also a passive-aggressive comment (by User CenfusRex) regarding the athlete's single individual Olympic gold medal. 2602:306:CE1B:D550:204B:F7CD:D7EA:2C51 (talk) 07:07, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

It (novel)

• It (novel) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Primarily unsigned individuals keep changinge section that relates how children in the Stephen King book had sex. The effort appears intended to romanticize or normalize the concept that children can consentually have sex through replacing "sex" with the euphemism "made love". The source citation for this section, as well as other sources use the accurate term, "sex", so this disgusting effort to euphemize it is not acceptable to the Wikipedia community. Requesting unsigned-in persons be locked out of edits as it just keeps recurring on and on. WmLawson (talk) 12:21, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. El_C 14:19, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
