Louis XVII of France

It's already been requested, but could you please protect Louis XVII of France? RIDICULOUS amounts of IP vandalism after recent expiration of semi-protection for that very reason. ThanToBe (talk) 20:39, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my reply to an identical request. Favonian (talk) 20:49, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GHBH, possibly? I'd honestly rather not protect them. Eventually they're going to run out of public wi-fi hotspots in the Louisville, KY area. ST47 (talk) 21:50, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GHURIDS AND KHALJIS

Hi The ghurids ( debated as in the article) and khaljis (turk o afghan as in the article) should also be mentioned before lodhi dynasty in the article. hope you do something about it. thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.211.22.22 (talk) 07:52, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I get it, but.......

I get it, you are one of those guys that gets a thrill out of following up on peoples edits and telling them how what they are doing is wrong and not policy. This is about to become a big story, partially because it is all true and several Ukranian media outlets are currently looking into it. Please undo your Zwarycz change for a few days, you can come back and be all retentive about it at the end of the week. But everything that I have posted is in fact true, you do know that there was a time before the internet, don't you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.153.27.101 (talk) 20:10, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Canvassing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chinazi (2nd nomination) is spilling over into Article Talk space

Besides the spillover of the AfD into the AfD talk, the canvassed new users are now adding votes to Talk:Chinazi. This will probably continue for quite a while.

At what point (if any) does semi-protection of the talk page become warranted? — MarkH21 (talk) 03:49, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Let's wait and see for now, hopefully it dies down on its own. The semi-protection slowed it down a lot, and at least the people commenting on the talk page aren't screwing up the formatting of the AfD page. If we keep seeing the edit requests being placed, we can semi the AfD talk page too. I'm not worried about simple comments, as they're easy to ignore.

I don't know if I've ever seen that much of a flood of canvassed AfD comments before... ST47 (talk) 03:56, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to be coming in at the AfD talk page a pretty steady rate. I'm curious - is semi-protecting the actual article's talk page merited at a certain point? I definitely have never seen an AfD canvassing flood this large before! — MarkH21 (talk) 04:02, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay now, the two talk pages are just becoming soapboxes. — MarkH21 (talk) 04:06, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Anything can be protected. But for now there's no problem on the article talk page, and unless it graduates to actually being disruptive editing, it probably is not necessary to semi-protect. And it may only send the commenters to some other venue. Let's give it a few hours for the social media storm to die off, and see where that leaves us. ST47 (talk) 04:07, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the flood on the AfD talk page is harmless and it serves as a escape valve for the mob. I am more worried about the discussion on more sophisticated disruption that is being coordinated in that forum, with confirmed users chipping in, and even someone who claims to be an experienced editor (account undisclosed). Protection will not help in that case, we we'll just need to be aware of the situation. --MarioGom (talk) 14:18, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's pretty clear some of the editors on this AfD have been acting on directions on gaming Wikipedia to get autoconfirmed status. Which isn't, you know, hard or anything, but is a bit disconcerting when their userpages literally contain the text "Autoconfirmed?". There has also been a bit of "Chinazi" vandalism on HK protest related pages. As I've been saying for some time, increased edit restrictions on HK protest related pages would really be to the benefit of the project; but beyond that I'm not sure there's much to be done. Simonm223 (talk) 15:48, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, as far as I know, it would take an Arbcom case for that to happen. Please do use {{spa}} and/or {{canvassed}} (for non-SPAs but accounts that were inactive for a long time before returning to edit this AfD) as needed for the AfD. I believe the 4 day requirement for autoconfirmed works in our favor here, as long as the AfD is able to be closed after 7 days and does not require relisting, so the only canvassing should be old accounts that people already had, not new sockpuppets created for the purpose of this AfD.

Roman Zvarych

You recently reverted some additions to Roman Zvarych and hid them from the page's history. Can you take a look and see if today's edits by 81.144.142.147 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) require the same treatment? And maybe the page needs to be semi-protected. Thank you. Peacock (talk) 18:01, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@PCock:, thanks for the message. The IP users are adding accusations in violation of WP:BLP along with sources that do not support the accusations. I will indeed revert/revdel/protect/block. ST47 (talk) 18:10, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle false positive

Hi ST47! I noticed that one of your edits made with Huggle was a false positive: this revert on Unbelievable (miniseries) is incorrect because (a) the IP added the correct name of an actor / recurring significant character; and (b) the casting is sourced implicitly to the credits of the primary source — note that the rest of the section doesn't have an inline citation. Thanks! — Bilorv (talk) 10:02, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Bilorv! It read to me as a possible hoax/self-insert because it was unsourced, and because they were adding the new name to the top of the list. I'll make sure to do some more investigation if that sort of thing comes up again. Thanks for the message! ST47 (talk) 18:56, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Samut Prakan United Stadium

Greetings. Thank you for being prepared to close this AfD. On numbers, then merge/redirect would be the consensus. However, on the arguments, which is what counts, the situation is different. None of the merge/redirect commentators advanced any policy based arguments for their proposed actions and no-one has addressed the three reasons I advanced against this action. Therefore, I should be grateful if you would be willing to look again at your close. Thank you. 2A02:C7F:4481:8300:90DC:E235:5074:54B0 (talk) 21:05, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
