Will you remove semi-protection on David Cameron if he isn't the next PM? Pickuptha'Musket (talk • contribs) 14:49, 6 May 2015 (UTC)


 * I won't be opposed to trying unprotection if that happens. But we have to keep in mind that's it's still a BLP and will likely be a vandalism target no matter the outcome. Alexius  Horatius  22:09, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Hard Left
Hi, I'd like you to take a look at this article. Here its stated that "The 'hard left' is a pejorative used by conservative elements in the media".However this statement is not properly backed up. There are two sources to support it: one is a rather obscure book which doesn't appear to be a reliable source, the other is http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/politics/6637987/Jeremy-Corbyn-appoints-left-wingers-to-his-first-Shadow-Cabinet.html?CMP=spklr-_-Editorial-_-TWITTER-_-TheSunNewspaper-_-20150914-_-Politics-_-235200826, which states absolutely noting about the term hard left and simply uses it to describe several politicians. Presumably whoever placed it in the article has decided that it somehow proves that the term 'hard left' is a perforative used by the conservative media. This would of course breach WP:NOR.

Thanks

Greetings, I thank you for semi-protecting the Hall of Game Awards article.

Hall of Game Awards, revisited
Greetings once again; the said page in this subject line should be semi-protected for a little bit longer; StealthForce still believes they took place, but didn't air...... there is NOTHING on the internet, AT ALL, that says that the awards have taken place.

Mosaic cult/church "edit war"
Dear Alexius,

Why did you lock the Mosaic (church) page in such a way as to favor the pro-Mosaic side of the equation with so much information from inside and outside sources calling its credibility into question? It's an organization with a history of controlling people according to legit-looking and recognized religious sources.

Are you siding in favor of suppressing information about the group's widespread alleged cult activity? 4.15.244.235 (talk) 10:14, 18 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not siding in anyone's favor. You need to discuss the changes you want on the article's talk page - a couple sections have already been opened on the topic there. There you can get a consensus regarding the change you want to make. People showing up at the article several times a day and reverting it to their version is disruptive.

The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines
Did you mean to re-add pending changes? I had removed it as I felt the edit rate was too high &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  17:23, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
 * No - just semi is fine I think (I agree that the rate was too high for just pc). I left the pc as it was going to expire in a few days - I assumed it wouldn't affect the semiprotection. Alexius  Horatius  17:26, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and removed pc - still protected for a month. Alexius  Horatius  17:30, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! You weren't using Twinkle were you? I think you may have inadvertently set it to indefinite PC . Also, super duper nitpick not important observation... your signature may throw off syntax highlighters due to the ordering of the markup. If you change it to:

 * it will appear the same as it does now, but be syntactically correct (just moving the closing span tag). Cheers &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  17:35, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

UEFA_Euro_2016
Hi AlexiusHoratius,

It seems you removed my changes I made for UEFA_Euro_2016 page. If it wasn't you, please accept my apology. If it was, I'd like to know the reasons of what you did. The page adds Czechoslovakia history to "Czech" but not to "Slovakia", and adds USSR history to "Russia" but not to "Ukraine". Also, "Croatia" does not contain Yugoslavia history. Don't you think it's a bit inconsistent?

Thank you,

 * I didn't edit the article; I semiprotected it as it had been edited over one hundred times in the last day and that level of activity is difficult to stay on top of. The article's talk page is the best place to discuss the specific issues you brought up. There are likely editors there who know more about the issue than I do.

I don't mean to jump the queue, but we are in desperate need of help at Militia occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. All work on the article has halted due to the sheer volume of IP and newly created SPAs making destructive edits. LavaBaron (talk) 23:10, 3 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I think I'm going to wait for now - the page certainly is active, but most of the edits (nearly all) appear to be good faith edits. Not really much vandalism and plenty of editors are working on/watching the page to keep an eye on it. However, if you want to make a request at RfPP for another admin to look at that'd be fine.

Page Protection
Thank you for protecting the page. Would you be kind enough to put at least 5 days of protection. Due to timezone differences people will not be able to discuss anything during 48 hours, and the dispute in question has been discussed multiple times on the talkpage, but every time the protection ends an edit war erupts and the discussion comes to a halt without anything having been accomplished. So if you give us at least 5 days, we may be able to work to some consensus. Regards FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 04:27, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

He has successfully brought our country down to its knees in more than one way. And we the ppl...voted for him...thinking it was time for a black president and he's NOT EVEN BLACK. Think of his name and you may become confused with one of our terrorists...Osama Bin laden. I don't know if I spelled that correctly, but I'm sure you get my drift.

Laura Branigan
Some questions which I hope you can answer. I have been doing a research of late singer Laura Branigan. After 2 years of research finding many news about her. Her right birth year, 1952, her right birth place, Mount Kisco, etc. In my view her early days are as good it can be. Some days ago an anonymous person changed it back to 1957, Brewster, etc, which I undid and set things back in order. I have asked people how to protect the new information, but no answers. So now when I look I found this from you. What is semiprotected? Do I understand this right that you have managed to protect Laura's wiki by this? If you have, I am very grateful for your help. Maybe Laura's wiki can be left alone now, and no more damages. (cur | prev) 03:01, 25 January 2016‎ AlexiusHoratius (talk | contribs)‎ m. . (32,001 bytes) (+28)‎. .

 * Although everyone can edit articles and content is decided largely by coming to a consensus with others, one of the best ways to 'protect your version' is to have reliable sources to back up what you're saying. If there are statements in the article you know to be wrong, get a good secondary source to back up your claim. Also, if there are statements in the article that are incorrect, if they lack reliable sources then they can be removed. In either case, personal knowledge and nothing more isn't really enough. (See WP:No original research). The best place to discuss this is on the article's talk page with other editors interested in the topic.


 * To answer one of your questions, semiprotection is an action that prohibits unregistered editors and very new accounts from editing an article. I protected the article in this case as there was quite a lot of reverting going on and little discussion. Alexius  Horatius  18:19, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

First, I apologize I wasn't logged in when I wrote my first comment. Is it possible that you can help me with protecting Laura's early information. I have reliable sources after 2 years of research, and hopefully I will have a copy of Laura's birth certificate before summer. I have a contact in New York working with genealogy and she has put an order of Laura's SS-no. It has been a long journey, but it warms when Laura's brother Billy said he was very impressed of my research. He was the one who gave me my last piece about Laura, Mount Kisco.

Missed also with link to (Vafþrúðnismál) showing Odin right not only as stupid war god.

My comment was: "Im creating new accounts because of the authoritarian users that block my accounts. I make some edits in the page Iglesia ni Cristo, and they remove it, then i go to talk page and i state clearly the facts, references and sources. However those users does not provide with sources or any references and keep reverting and blocking my account at a time. At the Talk page, i clearly state facts and references which they dont like and delete.

Mark Wahlberg 2001 film
Rock star 2001 film is not mentioned in his profile? Joyjoykaufman (talk) 02:10, 3 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Although it might not appear on the Mark Wahlberg article, it appears on a complete list at Mark Wahlberg filmography. The first is a more general article about the actor, and the second is devoted to giving a complete list of things he's done. If you feel it merits a mention in the actor's article as well, you can discuss it with other editors at Talk:Mark Wahlberg. Alexius  Horatius  03:07, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Failed semiprotection
Hi. You attemptedly semiprotected this page a few days ago, but it seems not to work properly, because the page is still (disruptively) edited by a dynamic ip despite the protection. Could you have a look please?--Phso2 (talk) 17:07, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Paraiyar Article
Hereby I acknowledge that the article about "Paraiyar", a community of South india is a sensitive information.Some Users are potraying the community as slaves.Mentioning of "Slave" or Using any defamatory words against any community or particular section is an punishable offence.There may be a chance for particular section of people were treated as slaves,but mentioning a community as slaves is unconstituional since slavery is abolished by the constitution of India.Degrading a community status is a punishable offence under India law (Promoting enmity between different classes and endangering Integrity of India.Some times some truths cannot be exposed in public.(India was once a slave nation to british,for this single reason India cannot be introduced as former slave of british).I Hope all the admins can understand well.I welcome more research and discussions about the article.I am not against removing unreliable information(without sources).But I am against discrimination in the name of religion,caste,culture,language.I Hope wikipedia will protect the true spirit of knowledge and human freedom. User:AntanO is promoting discrimination against particular group or section of people.

Hi,

I am interested why additional links from blogs are not allowed here?1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arshileus (talk • contribs) 10:54, 2 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Once in a while a blog is allowed (see #11 here) but it's rare that they are. In this case the link being added didn't really add anything substantive that wasn't already in the article. Certain external links are fine to use - say a link to a government site - but a rather informal list of 'fun facts' in mangled English doesn't do much to help the article.

 * I reverted to the older version (often I won't but WP:Fullprotect says either reverting or not is okay if it's clearly an edit war.) In any case it looks like the user has been blocked for edit warring. Alexius  Horatius  04:33, 10 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Appreciated. --Tarage (talk) 04:34, 10 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I did not noticed that you had protected the article and blocked the user. I feel he is guilty of edit warring against a number of users without providing any meaningful contribution to the discussion. I am not sure if it makes sense to keep the article protected while the only proponent of the change is blocked but the decision is yours. Alex Bakharev (talk) 04:44, 10 March 2016 (UTC)


 * It's fine - I thought I had reverted it before I wrote the message here until I saw the edit missing from by contribs and noticed you had gotten it instead. You're probably right about the protection - I'll remove it. Alexius  Horatius  04:47, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Incidents at SeaWorld parks Page protection
While you have every right to fully protect any page especially one that has had a editor request full protect a page I must disagree with the protection of Incidents at SeaWorld parks. Not that it was protected I don't really care about that. What I care about is the editor who requested the full protection did so under false pretenses. The editor made false statements about me and another editor vandalizing the page in their edit summaries. By protecting the page without further comment as to the reason why, I believe you inadvertently gave legitimacy to the claims that the page was being vandalized.

I request this inadvertent action be corrected. My suggestion is to either add a better summary as to why the page was protected, which is a content dispute between three editors and not vandalism as claimed. Or the page be unprotected with an edit summary providing information as to why it was unprotected. I appreciate your time supporting wikipedia and know it is a thankless job. VViking Talk Edits 19:02, 12 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I think you're granting too much weight to the importance of the edit summary in this case. The protection, and its reason of "edit warring/content dispute" doesn't really have anything to do with the legitimacy of anyone's argument (beyond implying that neither side was vandalizing, which is true here.) I'm not really sure what you're asking for. That the page be re-protected with a new edit summary? Alexius  Horatius  20:36, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I've left a comment on the situation at Talk:Back to Sleep (song). The source does not state what User:Mario Maraschi claims it says. It might be useful if you (or someone you might know) could check it and help settle the dispute. Thanks. Maestro2016 (talk) 14:44, 15 March 2016 (UTC)


 * My protection of the article was in response to the request at WP:RFPP and I don't really know that much about the topic, so I'm not sure that I would be of much use in this discussion. The best way to handle this is to discuss what the sources say with the other editors on the talk page (see dispute resolution for more on this). Alexius  Horatius  20:28, 15 March 2016 (UTC)


 * It appears that the other editor, User:Mario Maraschi, has now been blocked indefinitely. If the other editor has been blocked, would that mean the dispute has ended? Or would I need to wait until the protection expires? Maestro2016 (talk) 22:30, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

A recent Zodiac Killer edit
I noticed you protected this article and I've been looking through the changes contained within a recent edit there and am somewhat puzzled. I know the article is under "Pending changes" but am hesitant to revert the entire edit back to the previous version, but some of the changes - removing the protection & its icon, the removal of the bolding of the victim's names (which makes the article very difficult to read), the content-change from "The solution to Zodiac's 408-symbol cipher. Graysmith stated in 1976 that the..." to "The solution to Zodiac's 408-symbol cipher. The meaning, if any,..." - are troubling to me. Some of the changes aren't wrong or bad, like altering the headings from "[place name only] to "[Place name] attack", so it's not a clear-cut case of vandalism/etc but... I hate to have to comb through the edits one-by one and pick out the erroneous content from the apparently-ok content...would welcome you taking a look. I don't know quite what to do here.  Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 16:17, 17 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I see what you mean by some of it being fine, some not really needed and some should probably be reverted. I guess two options would be to either revert it and go back and manually add back the good edits, or keep it and manually remove/change the newer edits that shouldn't have been made. If you did want to revert it I think you could do so even though it isn't vandalism. I've seen editors go either way in cases like this, when faced with one edit that makes forty changes of varying quality. I mean it was a good faith edit but probably not the best way to go about doing it. Alexius  Horatius  21:12, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Eagles (band)
Hello, Could you please have another look at this article and consider some stricter protection. The same edit warring is continuing over whether the group is finished or not. Those who want to assert as a fact that they are now finished are doing so only on the basis of some speculative comments by one of the band members in a recent interview. It is getting very tiresome.It also seems to border on WP:CRYSTAL. Thanks. Afterwriting (talk) 11:29, 19 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm going to wait for now I think - you're not wrong about it looking annoying but I'd like to see more disruption before fully protecting an article like that for a week or so. I'll check it periodically to see the level of activity. (Obviously feel free to make another request at RfPP as well if it keeps up.) Alexius  Horatius  20:10, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Could you shorten the semi protection? A month is too long. Editors have and will continue to argue over the birth dates. It's a discussion taking place in the wider media as well. It would be better to just sanction the person who was edit warring rather than reducing editing rights. Thanks. 2606:6000:610A:9000:2530:3E71:7218:4815 (talk) 17:07, 22 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I already tried a shorter period on March 13 - it was semiprotected for one week. Immediately upon unprotection the situation was out of hand again. On the 21st there were over a dozen edits that were simply undiscussed changes to years or reverts of those edits, which is too many. Arguing over birth dates is fine - on the talk page. Arguing by way of dropping an edit with no edit summary every couple hours and simply changing the year to whatever they feel like is disruptive. I'll shorten it to two weeks but that's as far as I'll go. Alexius  Horatius  17:31, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately with semiprotection simply being registered is not enough - an account needs to be WP:Autoconfirmed. Until that happens with your account, which should happen in a few days, you can use the 'editsemiprotected' template on the talk page if you feel a particular edit should be make.

Gun laws in Illinois
Greetings, AlexiusHoratius. About your response to my article protection request: I see what you mean, but, could you keep an eye on that article for a while? I've provided a longer explanation for the IP editor, here, but I'm not too sure that's going to do the trick. Sometimes new editors don't really understand about reliable references, and sometimes people get very stubborn about articles related to guns or gun laws, it's a pretty controversial topic. As far as dispute resolution, there was an RfC, and a consensus was reached, but as sometimes happens the new editor coming along either doesn't see that or doesn't care about it. Anyway, I've added this page to my watch list but if you reply I'd encourage you to ping me by including  in your post. Thanks. — Mudwater (Talk) 02:09, 23 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Sure - I'll watch it. You're not wrong on this - but often if there's a content dispute between one editor and one IP, I'll hold off on semiprotecting - at least until other methods are tried. If there's an RfC and a consensus in place I don't see a problem with reverting edits that go against that. Like I said I'll keep an eye on it and protect it if the reverts start again.

Batman v. Superman plot summary edit suggestions?
Hi, I wanted to know if, for the plot summary of "Batman v Superman", if you wanted to enter the following additions with links. I will only quote the sentences and links I suggested putting in...

''While decrypting the drive, he receives a vision of a dystopian future, where he leads a force of rebels against Superman, who has destroyed and taken over Earth with the help of mysterious alien creatures (parademons) under the control of an even more mysterious alien figure (Darkseid). Wayne is snapped out of the vision by a mysterious time traveler (Barry Allen, aka "The Flash"), who warns him that Lois Lane has a crucial role to an impending threat, and that he must quickly find "the others", and that he was right about "him".''

Upon learning of Luthor's plan, Batman leaves to rescue Martha, and manages to save her from being burned alive, while Superman confronts Luthor who unleashes a monstrous genetically-engineered creature made with Kryptonian technology, whom Luthor dubs "Doomsday".

Luthor is arrested after Lane exposes his numerous crimes; when he is visited by Batman in prison, he gloats that Superman's death has made the world vulnerable to powerful threats (a la Bruce Wayne's earlier vision), which he became privy to while manipulating the Kryptonian ship's technology, and Batman tells Luthor he will always be watching him and punches the wall with his bat brand before leaving the cell.
