Joe Gatto (comedian)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A lot of people have decided to go nuts on this article in the last few hours (one can only presume he did, or said, or tweeted something controversial -- or perhaps someone else did). At any rate, the page is being vandalized quite profusely. jp×g 07:12, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nazi symbolism

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP's constantly adding that the swastika , is misinterpreted as a hate symbol and it was the Hakenkreuz which was used, some IP's apparently think that its propaganda against Hinduism, also edits and summaries like the following aren't helping: [1] Swastika (Fake Symbol), [2] I changed this because swastika is not at all nazi symbol. People need to know this truth., [3] Swastika history needs to to be reviewed., [4] Swastika has no connection with Nazi at all., [5] Fake propaganda against my religion needs to be stopped., [6], [7] I have changed swastika to Hakenkreuz because Hitler never used word swastika in his book Mein Kampf. It is James Murphy who translated Hakenkreuz to swastika in his english translation of Mein Kampf.. Bingobro (Chat) 08:57, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. I added Nazi symbolism to the existing /38's p-blocks. El_C 11:22, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Amanda Swimmer

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Slow-burning edit war on a page with not much attention. I would protect it myself, but I created it a few years back and haven't edited it since, so might be involved. Would suggest a week at full protection to let things simmer down, but posting here so someone unconnected can assess. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:05, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. MelanieN (talk) 20:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism by IP editors & new users. I would recommend requiring Extended confirmed protection as I see some vandals are already autoconfirmed. Peaceray (talk) 18:30, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:11, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Let's try semi-protection first. If EC vandalism remains a problem, ask again. In the meantime, some of the problems there look like sockpuppetry; if there is a recognizable sockmaster, be sure to report the socks to get them blocked. MelanieN (talk) 20:14, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Umayyad Caliphate

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – long term disruptive edits. Wretchskull (talk) 18:32, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. MelanieN (talk) 20:22, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Requesting Semi-protection due to disruptive edits and edit warring by various IPs over the past few days Shadowwarrior8 (talk) 04:47, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Shadowwarrior8, can you provide WP:DIFFs that illustrate the problem? I notice that you didn't retain minor improvements, like fixing all-uppercase titles for refs (diff). El_C 10:57, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

El_C

Yeah, I didnt notice that initially. Here I corrected it: [8]

As for the problem in the page, it is edit waring and disruptive-POV editing by various IPs in the page:

These are it: 

[9] This one is as early as 17 Dec

Next these disruptive edits are in 27 Dec [10] ; [11]

Next a series of disruptive & POV edits, edit warring, etc by multiple IPs b/w 27-31 December [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20]

Shadowwarrior8 (talk) 11:47, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing disruptive about adding sourced content from peer reviewed journals. It sounds more like you don’t like the content.

And actually you have been part of the edit warring by removing peer reviewed content without explanation. 89.242.88.80 (talk) 14:52, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply] 

89.242.88.80 (talk) (talk)  Content involves WP:REPETITION and sourced content was deleted. Also see guidelines for MOS:Lead.

Shadowwarrior8 (talk) 16:26, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. This appears to be edit warring over certain wording, particularly in the lead. I see no attempt to discuss the differences at the talk page. Full protection is a possibility and would stop the warring, but I would prefer to see some use of the talk page. MelanieN (talk) 18:56, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Scientific wild-ass guess

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Not sure if we should keep this page around (see WP:NEO), but if we do, it should have some protection given the high portion of vandalism edits. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 05:44, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Sdkb, last edit was in June, so this seems rather Stale. What am I missing? El_C 11:03, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The request is based on the proportion of vandalism rather than the volume. No worries if there's not enough volume for this to be actionable, though. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 16:32, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. MelanieN (talk) 18:59, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Default (finance)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Multiple IP address vandalism. I.hate.spam.mail.here (This is YOUR page) (talk) 06:43, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: actually, I.hate.spam.mail.here, there's only the one disruptive edit (on Jan 1, which was suppressed), the edit preceding it was in May, so this is rather Stale (multiple IPs-wise). Unfortunately, even admins can't see who did the suppression, so I'm unable to ping them here about the Jan 1 suppressed edit (whose contents I cannot access). Will probably decline, but leaving this request open for the time being. El_C 11:09, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Twoja twarz brzmi znajomo (season 15)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – IP editor 79.162.209.91 is insisting in returning this redirect to article with no effective sources. Reviewed by two independent editors. scope_creepTalk 11:58, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. This was created months ago as an article, and only recently converted to a redirect - an undiscussed action which has been reversed several times. The page is now at AfD, which is the proper forum to decide whether it should be kept as an article, made into a redirect, or deleted. MelanieN (talk) 19:07, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of Chelsea F.C. records and statistics

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – I can't revert anymore this anymore IP reverted this [21] edit back, request RPP, the IP goes against talk page Talk:List of Chelsea F.C. records and statistics#Penalty shoot-out record and seems to switch IPs. Govvy (talk) 20:10, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The page is a vandalism magnet and volunteers are repeatedly having to watch the page and undo vandalism which has resumed since page last became unprotected. Suggest a long temporary. Djm-leighpark (talk) 20:25, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. MelanieN (talk) 22:21, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lift-to-drag ratio

Reason: I have a lame edit war with an IP. He/she does not understand WP:BRD and won't go in talk. Is it possible to restrict editing to autoconfirmed users? Thanks. Marc Lacoste (talk) 21:00, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I don't see you at the talk page either. I'm locking the article for 2 days to get you two actually talking to each other (as opposed to in edit summaries). I suggest that after posting your rationale on the talk page, you go to the IP's user talk page and politely invite them to the discussion. (Ping doesn't work for IPs.) MelanieN (talk) 22:27, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Sockpuppetry. Also persistent addition of unsourced content by new and unregistered users. The edits by IPs starting in 36, 115 and 180 are likely EWLO.

Question: @The Alternate Mako: Who is evading a block? Who is currently blocked? El_C 10:28, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
At least two different masters, Jellywings19 and Sarah Carvalho. Mako001 (C)  (T) (The Alternate Mako) 10:53, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

List of coups and coup attempts

Indefinite semi protection - Some months ago I semi-protected List of coups and coup attempts by country (a related article) due to repeated re-addition of a contentious entry about characterizing the 2021 US Capitol attack as a coup, but I neglected to protect List of coups and coup attempts. Since then, I have become WP:INVOLVED in the topic so I cannot protect that article now, although it still experiences similar disruption from well-meaning unconfirmed accounts who aren't aware of the need to gain consensus first. (For the record, I personally agree with this addition, but consensus among reliable sources must be established first before the entry is added, and that hasn't happened.) User:Gorilla Warfare has participated on the talk page in an administrative capacity, but I felt it would be best to ask for protection here than from an individual fellow admin. There is no vandalism, just long-term history of adding this without talk page discussion; for a similar reason we indef-semi-protect articles like Muhammad to prevent repeated long-term good-faith-but-disruptive edits. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:17, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@El C, if you see this diff, you will find I reverted some edits made on December 13. I am assuming there is a possibility of an another attempt. But after raising this move protection request, I have also put up a merge discussion tag on the page and till now we have not seen any participation. This company has a controversial editing history. So, I am also in sitting in a wait and watch position like you. However, you are the best judge of this kind situation and I will go along with your call.

Reason: Two unilateral page moves and reverts (from me). Should have the page protected from moves until other editors have a chance to weigh in on the issue. EmeraldRange (talk) 14:19, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Move protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Seeing that the latest move was carried out immediately after, and in defiance of, an RM discussion, I have set the article so that only an admin can move it for the next year. And IMO that should happen only after a well-attended move request with a clear-cut consensus. The name has been discussed several times on the talk page, and that discussion should continue. -- MelanieN (talk) 21:53, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotection: Redirect, fully protected because of some page move vandalism back in 2009. Doesn't seem at all necessary anymore. Lennart97 (talk) 16:25, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question: On the other hand, there is no need to move the page that I can see. Do you intend do write a new article under that name? Lectonar (talk) 10:55, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It would need to be moved if this RM is succesful, which it doesn't look like it will be. Two edit requests were recently needed just to list the redirect at RfD and then remove it, though. I realise it's not at all a big deal since it's a redirect, but in principle I don't see a way to justify having any page fully protected indefinitely because of some temporary disruption from over a decade ago.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

Require PETA to disclose their true primary mission that they hide from the public while pretending to care about protecting animals which they do not.

Donated funds from well intended but mislead contributors is used to lobby legislative bodies to make touching a pet in ways their religious beliefs object to, a felony crime while encouraging continues use of steel leg traps so horribly painful the trapped pet or non domesticated animal literally chews off it’s own foot in an unsuccessful attempt to free itself.

When the trapper arrives and finds someone’s pet in their trap they don’t try to rescue someone’s beloved animal, they kill and hide it so it’s owner can never discover what happened to the dog or cat they love and miss so much.

PETA is an organization with an agenda they hide from the public that must be fully exposed to better inform potential donors who wrongly assume their generous donation will go to stop such horrific pain and death of innocent animals. 192.181.193.3 (talk) 13:56, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Limit inferior and limit superior

Reason: See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mathematics/Archive/2021/Nov#Vandalism_of_"Limit_inferior_and_limit_superior" for background information. Since at least sep 2020 this page is being periodically vandalized by an anonymous editor. On 26 Nov 2021 the page was given "pending change protection" in order to limit this vandalism. But as you can see from the revision history of the page, this has done nothing to stop him. If anything, that made him redouble his vandalism (already 6 instances of repeated vandalism, each time corrected, and no other edits since the page had that level of protection). Based on this, I'd like to request protection level to be raised to semi-protection. PatrickR2 (talk) 23:00, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chaldea

Reason: An editor who keeps editing from different IP addresses (or multiple different editors?) is adding nationalist POV-pushing to the article on the ancient region and people of Chaldea. I've notified the editor in question at the latest IP address that made the edit (here User talk:2601:40D:8100:14E0:189A:2ABF:8ECC:176F). The editor seems to be trying to make the Chaldeans out to be among the most ancient peoples of Mesopotamia and also replaced the use of "Assyrians" with "Chaldeans".

The Chaldea article is a historical article without connection to the name dispute in the modern ethnic group — the Assyrians referenced are the people of ancient Assyria (who obviously did not identify as "Chaldeans") and the Chaldeans referenced are the ancient people, who did arrive in the region long after the ancient Assyrians and Babylonians were already established. Articles on the modern group are protected to various extents avoid cases like these (see Assyrian people, Terms for Syriac Christians, Chaldean Catholics) - could this perhaps be extended to Chaldea as well?

Support This link has been a permanent red link (i.e. salted page used in documentation as a red link) since 2007, but it's not the only one available, and evidently there are several things called "Like This". "Intentionally permanent red link" seems clearer and less likely to be the name of an encyclopedic topic.

I am reviewing the edits manually (since some people who link to it are actually talking about the page "like this" whereas others are just trying to make a red link appear). As far as I can tell, the majority of them are actually coming from this very discussion (since the section heading is included on Template:Dashboard which is transcluded to a ton of userspace pages), lol.

Not done Looking at the history, you're clearly trying to misuse RFPP to get us to lock in your preferred wording in a content dispute with a (single) other editor.

Egyptian–Ottoman War (1831–1833)

Since deleted by Maile66. Maile, can I ask about your deletion rationale? What you said is correct (that it's a hoax and that the admin who protected [and recreated] it is banned), but the former is true of all of the subpages of Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia, and the latter is true of many of them. I remember when the banned user in question unilaterally decided to restore all of those pages, because they asked me to create {{hoax documentation}} as part of it, and I kinda expected it would all go to MfD, but instead the approach has caught on quietly over the years.
BTW, @GKFX, per {{hoax documentation}} the correct place to request an edit to an archived hoax is Wikipedia talk:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia. I'm not sure if anyone actually follows that, but it's what I decided in 2013 and no one's ever challenged it. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 14:51, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive/2021/11#16 November 2021. There are no useful edit requests, so this protection is not hurting anything. More importantly, it's actively stopping disruption from autoconfirmed editors, which is why I've ignored the pings from people who think I'm killjoy. I've seen no evidence yet that anyone wants to edit this page outside of adding memes, and at least one of the people posting there seems to indicate this is the case: "it gave people a reason to look at the page of some random British economist".

The Egg (Weir short story)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Seems to be an ongoing edit war in which a user (User:Chiyote) persistently adds an unsourced claim that this work was plagiarized by them (or more recently, removes the author information entirely) despite multiple editors removing it for being unsupported original research, a clear conflict of interest, and possibly a personal attack? User:Chiyote was banned, after which several anons continued the effort. Based on a recent post on their talk page ([78]) they may be brigading on Facebook and Reddit to get others to make these changes.

Not sure if semi-protection is appropriate here but at this point the page has spent more time in the last three months having incorrect info than correct info. The page is otherwise extremely low activity, so I don't think we'd lose much in terms of regular contributions by adding semiprotection. Dylnuge (Talk • Edits) 15:47, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done; if something has been placed under arbitration enforcement, then use an edit request (using {{SPER}}) on the article's talk page to ask that a change should be made - if it's that bad, someone will definitely enact the change.

Nas Daily

Reason: The Protection should be semi since it has a history of vandalism but is not related AT ALL to ARBPIA. He was born in Israel but has no writings about the conflict or anything. It only had 1 previous protection before someone ECPed it. It says the reason was ARBPIA. Please remove it so that autoconfirmed like me and others can edit it! Jishiboka1 (talk) 00:19, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The edit reverted in Special:Diff/969913214 seems to indicate that there are Israeli-Palestinian conflict concerns. Because of that I am not overly keen to reduce the protection put in place by Ymblanter. Primefac (talk) 13:10, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is not an individual administrator action; articles in this area are protected by the Arbitration Committee. Ymblanter has merely implemented a technical safeguard to prevent users from circumventing the restriction.
