Semi-protection for Ryan Kavanaugh
Hello, I see that you semi-protected Ryan Kavanaugh for a period of two days on January 26 upon my request at RPP. However, vandalism by unregistered users has resumed since then. If you take a look at the page logs, you'll see that the article had been protected for much longer periods in the past due to controversy surrounding the subject. Would you consider protecting again? Throast  { { ping }} me! (talk &#124; contribs) 19:55, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Malcolmxl5. It might be worth considering a longer duration for the block on given the block history and their persistence on articles like Louis d'Armagnac, Duke of Nemours and Juan de la Cerda y Silva, 4th Duke of Medinaceli. Regards. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:34, 6 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @Daniel Quinlan. Hi Daniel, yes, there’s a lot of disruption there and a lengthy block log (I see I blocked for two months a couple of years ago). I’ll up it to six months, it’s clearly a LTA. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 02:41, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Leeds Wikipedia meetup on Saturday 4th May
Hello there! Interested in having a chat with fellow Wikipedians? There's a meetup in Leeds on Saturday 4th May 2024, at the Tiled Hall Café at Leeds Central Library.

Full details here.

You're receiving this one-off message as you're either a member of WikiProject Yorkshire, you've expressed an interest in a previous Leeds meetup years ago, or (for about 4 of you), we've met :)

I plan to organise more in future, so if you'd like to be notified next time, please say so over on the meetup page.

Please also invite any Wikimedia people you know (or have had wiki dealings with) – spread the word! Hope to see you there.
