Rational discussion on the talk page at the moment, and at least one error that all agree needs changing. The admin who applied full protection says on their talk page that they have retired from WP. Itsmejudith (talk) 22:06, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I thought it was User:Gwickwire, who made a note on the talkpage in January of this year. But can we now move to unprotection? If an edit war ensues I will ask for protection again. Itsmejudith (talk) 08:48, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I've dropped it down to semi; let's see if things have improved. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:05, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, the issue wasn't edit warring, it was sockpuppetry. A lot of sockpuppetry. From 2012-04-08 and 2013-01-10, 32% of the edits were by socks. For edits by editors/IPs with less than 500 edits, 69% were by socks.(analysis results). Sean.hoyland - talk 18:23, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Abiogenesis (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – The page history is full of "new contributors", obviously with this page as their only target article, and with similar-looking user pages. It is all very confusing, but a semi lasting a few months is what I recommend, possibly with a revert to before this all started (last year?). Fama Clamosa (talk) 18:19, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A "SEMI" won't do it because these creationists are using registered accounts. Full protection would be good. Reverting to before all this started is what I'm trying to do. 131.142.52.96 (talk) 18:36, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent inappropriate removal of deletion tags. Was previously declined on the grounds of insufficient disruptive activity, however, BLPPROD and afd tags have been removed seven times in the last ten days. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:56, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection was recently made for this page, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days. Snotbot t • c » 23:03, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Removal of a prod isn't necessarily disruption. Assuming good faith, it could mean that it is contested. Since then, the AfD tag has only been removed once, which I wouldn't consider significant disruption to yield protection. Also, (optimistically) I think it would be good to leave it unprotected, in the hopes that an IP could help contribute to the article and add some references.

Semi-protection. French IPs (including 88.161.58.50) are repeardly trying to add new findings, or even an alleged proof of this mathematical problem, by some (surprise!) French "consultant" named Thierno M. Sow. Even if it was credible (which, by all chances, it is not), it would violate WP:OR and therefore has repeatedly been deleted. But said IPs won't give up, so please semi-protect this article. --bender235 (talk) 16:24, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. - This appears to be spread out over a longer time frame than protection would be effective in mitigating (as the IPs would likely just continue once the protection expired and this isn't enough to justify locking the article indefinitely).

Semi-protection: Dynamic IP users have been inserting overly long, poorly written, unformatted, and sometimes copyright-violating plot summaries into the article, often simultaneously removing sourced material. Outreach by myself and others via edit summaries and talk page messages/templates has produced no responses. I suggest semi-protection might prevent recurrence of such behaviour, or else induce the IP users to create accounts and therefore be easier to notify about policy and guideline discussions arising from their edits.

User:רסטיניאק (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary Full Protection of my edits on Amiram Goldblum as there is recurring content disputes/edit warring by Soosim and Nataev, the second also admitted direct relation to a person , Steven Plaut who constantly smears Goldblum on his website and blogs. This also includes the introduction of improper sections and use of improper language on the article's talk page, a section ("The article is an autobiography") which is erroneous and defamatory, as not a single fact has been disputed and none that are properly referenced has been proposed. Thus I request to delete that whole section. The Semi protection has helped for a while, but now things are getting heated again רסטיניאק (talk) 08:40, 13 May 2013 (UTC)רסטיניאק[reply]

רסטיניאק is Goldbum himself. See the relevant discussion here. רסטיניאק has removed the POV tag twice so far: 1 and 2. Now he wants to get the page protected so that he can have it all to himself. Unbelievable. Nataev (talk) 09:19, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My sole problem is that Amiram Goldblum has written the entire article about himself. I don't find this subject particularly interesting.
