Rejection of page protection request.
How much do you need? You might think that 10 vandalism edits to John Gilbert (bushranger), with 8 in the less than 12 hours today isn't enough, but I'm sick of wasting my time on that sort of juvenile attention seeking, especially when there were three different IPs doing the vandalism, the rollbacks didn't work, so it wasn't until I checked what had happened to it tonight, that I'd noticed that we'd still missed some. Blocking most Australian IPs is useless as most homes here have dynamic IPs, so they just log off, wait 10 minutes and get a new IP, and someone else suffers the block. If we have a 3RR rule for editwarring, then 3 vandalism reverts in a day should be "enough" vandalism to warrant protection. The-Pope (talk) 15:17, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * This was a close one. The way I evaluated it, the recent vandalism was coming from three ip editors, none of whom are active at present. If they were, I would have blocked them. Since the ip edits have not resumed so far, I decided not to protect the page, since looking at the recent edit history I couldn't assume that the vandalism would continue. If it does resume, I'm happy to block/protect as necessary. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  16:24, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Articles_for_deletion/Lu-Yu_Tea_Culture_Institute
I don't have an opinion on the debate but you mention "despite two relists" yet it appears you closed it right as the second one began.... am I correct? Ryan Norton 20:55, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, I blew it. I noticed that it had been more than two weeks since the nomination opened, and automatically thought the two relists were at the end of seven days each. If I had noticed the recent relist, I wouldn't have closed it. However, I don't really see the point in reversing it now. If better sourcing doesn't appear, the article can be renominated.

I agree, and thanks for acknowledging it. Mostly I was just wondering if I had gone on a time warp or something ;p. Ryan Norton 11:07, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Halo: Reach
I was looking at the article for Halo: Reach and I wanted to add that Jorge-052 is the only Spartan II on Noble 6. Can you please add that to the article if you think it is relevant. CJISBEAST (talk) 23:16, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The page is only semi-protected. This means that editor with fewer than 10 edits, or anonymous users are prevented from editing. You, however, are completely free to edit the article as you would normally. If you think the edit belongs, by all means, go for it.

Thanks for the help, I'll add that to it. CJISBEAST (talk) 15:28, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

You deleted "Smartlist" article with no consensus. According to wikipedia rules consensus must be reached on talk page. Result of no consensus is "keep".
Please restore the page. Brandorr (talk) 22:04, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Restored. As I mentioned in my closing statement for the AFD I treated the nomination as a WP:PROD. I did so because there had been no explicit opposition to the nomination in the 2 weeks that it ran. You may wish to address the reasons for the nomination, as there is nothing to stop the article from being put up for deletion again. Take care.
