Lacey Evans

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – It seems she is leaving WWE[1] but IP users continuously add unsourced/unconfirmed stuff to the article, plus BLP violation and vandalism like [2][3][4]. The article needs 1 week semi-protection for confirming news from reliable sources about her departure and the related details. Mann Mann (talk) 03:18, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 7 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:56, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GypsyCrusader

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A dozen reversions of vandalism by IPs in just the last 30 days; long history of vandalism. Grorp (talk) 06:25, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Disruption not heavy enough to warrant semi-protection. Lectonar (talk) 07:38, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Lectonar: I didn't realize the pending-changes protection was added right before I semi-protected the article, but the level of disruption seems substantial and relentless since the page was unprotected. If you want to undo my change or revise it, feel free. I'm looking some more at the page history now. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 07:50, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected indefinitely. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 07:39, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Quinlan: indefinite semi-protection for an article with no great protection log, and not very heavy editing activity? Lectonar (talk) 07:46, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Lectonar: I see 26 reversions since the page was unprotected June 8th, but only 8 in the preceding 2 years while it was semi-protected. Prior to that, it was protected several times with some hidden edits as well. I suspect pending-changes will produce at least as many disruptive edits (I've seen cases where disruptive edits actually increase in number with pending-changes turned on). If you think pending changes is the better option, we can try it out and see how it goes. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 07:58, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Quinlan: I have seen the oppsite...pending-changes protection produces frustration with the vandals, as the edit does not go "live" immediately (so I do not see real disruption there, it's just one more click to revert), so people tend to give up. Anyway, in cases like these I use pending-changes protection for some months; I watchlist, and try to evaluate if the the article needs semi-protection.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing from multiple IPs. Annh07 (talk) 08:56, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:41, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Elvish Yadav

Extended confirm protection: disruptive editing by IPs and newly created accounts, they are keep removing deletion tag. Ajeeb Prani (talk) 09:11, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Creation protected I have deleted and salted the page. Lectonar (talk) 09:35, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, can you delete Draft:Elvish Yadav too? Ajeeb Prani (talk) 10:27, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I can. Lectonar (talk) 10:29, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

merca

Reason: I request Administrators to semi protect merca city lower shabelle region Somalia page Wikipedia to avoid vandalism and dispute editing.. Hassancadde (talk) 09:54, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

this article needs 1 month semi-protection for confirming from reliable sources. Hassancadde (talk) 10:01, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Last edit before your edit to the article was more than 2 months ago. Lectonar (talk) 10:10, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Millennials

Reason: Recent edit war - increased likelihood of becoming unstable with good faith edits. Richie wright1980 (talk) 09:57, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting indefinite protection for the 'Date and age range definitions' section as this was the subject of a recent edit war.Richie wright1980 (talk) 10:02, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Richie wright1980, the article is already protected indefinitely, but protection can't be applied for specific sections. The last edit was in Aug. 8 excluding bot edits. ToadetteEdit (chat)/(logs) 10:30, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot. Can auto-confirmed users still edit the page? Or do they have to request an edit? Richie wright1980 (talk) 10:36, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, autoconfirmed users can edit, but IPs and new user can't, and so need to request an edit on the talk page. Nevertheless, there was a recent content dispute between you and other autoconfirmed edits which probably ended up in a discussion on the talk page. ToadetteEdit (chat)/(logs) 11:01, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Semi-protection: edit war--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 10:13, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Sarpulso

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP promoting said user to delete a page even the user is not an admin. ToadetteEdit (chat)/(logs) 10:56, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Structure of the Pakistan Army

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Indian IPs adding senseless and stupid stuff such as "Duffer" added on every officers name, typical Indian English spotted, needs protection. For witnesses see Users: FooBarBaz and Bizusa, thanks. ⭐️ Starkex ⭐️ 📧 ✍️ 11:02, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
