Intent of this page
This page is was intended to capture a list of BLPs that are candidates for, or have already received, semiprotection from me (or one of my TPWs), because they have been the target of simple vandalism from IPs or newly registered users that was not swiftly dealt with.

HOWEVER, this process has been sunsetted. Please use the normal process or if you really want to ask me directly, use my talk page.

Criteria for listing an article here
The criteria are (fairly arbitrarily chosen):
 * The article is a BLP
 * Since the last time semiprotection expired (if any), the article has received:
 * EITHER at least two vandalisms from IPs or newly registered users (the kind of vandalism that semiprotection stops) each of which lasted at least 5 minutes before being reverted,
 * OR one vandalism from an IP or newly registered user that lasted at least an hour before being reverted.
 * OR 10 vandalisms (of any duration, even momentary) within any 1 month span from IPs or newly registered users.
 * You are willing to sign your name requesting that it be protected. No anons or newly registered users, sorry. (you'll note THIS page is semiprotected to enforce that)

Listing process
This is intended to be a simple process. To list a BLP give the following things:
 * All relevant article links, using article to list the article.
 * A link to a diff showing each qualifying vandalism and how long it lasted.
 * If the vandalism is by a newly registered user rather than an IP, give a link to the log for that user.
 * Your signature.

Evaluation process
To handle a BLP do the following:
 * Be an admin. I can't help you with this one.
 * Visit the article, make sure it's a BLP
 * Review each diff.
 * Is it vandalism?
 * Is it by an IP or a newly registered user (check the user log linked)?
 * If the diff is to the vandalism rather than the revert, walk the diff forward. How long did the vandalism stand? Was it at least 5 minutes? Was it at least an hour?
 * Count... 2 - five min or more, or 1 - one hour or more, ***SINCE the last time the article was protected, if ever*** and we have a "winner" If not, we have a "loser"
 * In the case that the article is a "winner":
 * Semi protect the article.
 * Set the protection to 1 year if the article has been protected or s-protected before, or 3 months if it's never been protected or s-protected.
 * Include
 *  Per liberal use of semiprotection policy 
 * or
 *  Per liberal use of semiprotection for BLP articles, 
 * or
 *  Per liberal use of semiprotection for BLP articles, multiple previous protections 
 * or
 *  Per BLP policy and liberal use of semiprotection for BLP articles 
 * in the reason box as needs dictate.
 * Add
 *   or   
 * at the top of the article so it's known that it's semiprotected.
 * Strikeout the article name in the list.
 * Below the entry (use "#:" to indent) say "done" or similar and sign. You can say more if you want.
 * If the article is a "loser":
 * Do NOT semi protect the article.
 * Explain why you did not (use "#:" to indent), and sign your name.
 * In the case that the lister didn't list it right and you can't sort out what to do anyway:
 * Explain what the lister did wrong (use "#:" to indent)
 * Sign your name.

Easy peasy.

Articles
Here are the articles so far. They are categorized into protected, rejected, and pending review

Protected
Articles hereunder have been protected and are detailed within the month of such action. As pending articles are dealt with please move them to the appropriate month (based on the protection date, not the request date as the protection date is what would be in the log). Previous months are hidden for now, later may use an archive box scheme...
