Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Recurring vandalism by IPs since 1 February. Intermittent disruptive editing prior to this (e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4]). R Prazeres (talk) 05:39, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Alkhalil family

• Alkhalil family (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection: Our friend, the prolific sock puppet Kelowantogdog has returned. This edit [5] by the IP from Toronto, 199.119.233.168. Even the same edit summary "Rescued valid citations once again" shows that is someone who has edited the article before. Compare that edit by the IP with this edit by Kelowantogdog's sock puppet DJ drama23 [6]. And compare that edit with another of Kelowna's sock puppets, Jet Lii [7], [8], and [9]. All these edits are clearly by the same person, and that person has been blocked. This is a my first time asking for page protection for this article, but it is not my first time asking for page protection from Kelownatopdog. It has been my experience that imposing page protection for a short time does not work with him because he just starts editing again the moment the page protection expires, and so for this reason, I would this article protected for a least a considerable period of time. Thank you for your time and help. --A.S. Brown (talk) 06:45, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: the same as above. Our friend, the prolific sock puppet Kelowantogdog has returned. This [10] by the IP 199.119.233.168 that occurred on 2 February just 14 minutes apart from the edit on the Alkhalil family is clearly the work of the same person. Even the highly misleading edit summary "Citations removed for what reason?" is very typical of Kelowantopdog's editing style. And it is useful to compare that edit with this edit [11] by Watchthislilsuzy, another of Kelowantopdog's sock puppets. Given that Kelowantopdog never takes the hint and just starts editing an article the moment the page protection expires, would it possible to have this article protected for a substantial period of time. Thank you for your time and help. --A.S. Brown (talk) 07:03, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Recently a Netflix series was released about the drug trafficker, which is my guess why there's an increase of vandalism. A temp edit protection should probably do the trick. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 08:23, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – unsourced genre additions, so upgrade to semi protection is needed. the pending changes obviously doesnt make much sense when unsourced additions are immediately accepted https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soul_of_a_New_Machine&diff=prev&oldid=1202602205.
