Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This is an important article. And there is a problem of non-constructive edits/vandalism for a long time! Requesting pending changes/semi protection! . Tito Dutta (talk) 11:25, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined Yes, the article is important, but so are nearly all articles on Wikipedia. But here I can see a fair amount of positive contributions of IPs/new users, so no pending changes protection, and it is not enough vandalism for semiprotection anyway.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism that targets the religion of the school and generally insults the Catholic faith. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 04:49, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Also, just a reminder to leave a vandalism warning note on the IP's talk page. It makes it easier to assess the likelihood that they will keep vandalizing the page. Best, Lord Roem ~ (talk) 05:17, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary protection: Persistent vandalism - User Alien arceus was once a user who was well known for adding fraudulent information on Bulbapedia, where I am high-ranking staff. It seems since his ban there he has followed me here, and has started adding false information to Rick Moranis's page as if out of spite for me. I can provide evidence to back up my claims if requested. Jo The Marten (talk) 22:23, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to fully protect the page because of one user. Give your evidence to the user on either their talk page or the article talk page, and if they insert false info deliberately we can look in to blocking. Prodego  talk  01:05, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm just putting it here, and this is the last time i'll post in the same place as Jo i promis, but my name is Ron Petterson, not Christian Woods. Appartment blocks often share the same IP address at least where i live it does. and either way, whether i'm Christian or not is none of this guy's damn business. i came here to add good information and have no intent on adding false information to this site, so no need for block.

Temporary semi-protection: This guy appears to have upset some people, and after following on from disrupting the page, getting blocked, and disrupting it again as an IP (see Sockpuppet investigations/PayMeMyMoneyOwed/Archive), other IPs have been disrupting the article here here and here. Semi-protection would give everyone a chance to calm down while properly sourced content is found. Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   10:37, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection this page has a long history of disruptive editing by IP and new users for a moderately high visible page. Additionally there is a COI issue with a named user that is being addressed separately over at COIN. Thanks Tiggerjay (talk) 21:51, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * When considering this request, please note that this article also has several years history of prompt reverts of vandalism and problematic edits, and many constructive edits with detailed edit summaries, by an IP editor. 188.29.82.106 (talk) 22:53, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would agree that there has been some positive contributions from IP editors; however far more IP edits reverted than constructive. Tiggerjay (talk) 02:40, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined Looking at the article history, the level of vandalism is under the threshold for semiprotection, and the noticeable amount of positive IP contributions makes me refrain from using pending changes protection too. Some years ago, we would have said: just wachtlist and revert; so, I have added it to my watchlist. Lectonar (talk) 07:56, 1 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Rules of chess has been semi-protected for nearly 19 months. The admin that protected it retired April 2012. I think it should be unprotected now.  I have it on my watch list and I usually check my watch list several times per day, so I can watch out for it.  If the vandalism returns, I will ask for it to be protected again, but I think it is time to try it unprotected.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 00:52, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite Semi-Protection: It already redirects to the proper target, so there is no need for further editing (the main article even has a hatnote to the disambiguation page), and has a ridiculously long history of vandalism for a redirect (>30 edits of mostly IP vandalism or reverting it). It looks to me like vandals target this page since the one it redirects to is protected.

Unprotection: Article was semi-protected for 2 months, which seems uncharacteristically long for page with no appreciable history of vandalism and a single IP editwar that lasted only a few edits. The article itself indicates it is outdated, so on the balance, I would consider it to be better to unprotect this to open it up for more constructive IP edits than lock it down because of a minor altercation that happened 5 weeks ago. 76.121.244.252 (talk) 06:26, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Recently a new Mersenne prime has been discovered, but the distributed computing project responsible for the search has not made an official announcement. IP users have added a new entry, but more importantly have changed "47" to "48" where they should not have done (i.e. the page says "48" but still describes properties of the 47th prime). I've reverted the edits until the official announcement, however if you look at the page history you'll see that the IP users have undone similar reverts by other registered users, and so they're likely to do it again. As such, I'd like to semi-protect this page until Tuesday (February 5th) at 1400 UTC, the time of the press release (see previous link). One might also consider semi-protecting Largest known prime number, however a cursory glance does not show any premature or wrong edits. Spartan S58 (talk) 19:04, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP vandals striking almost immediately after the end of previous protection; of the 24 edits made after the template expired, 8 were made by me either fixing or reverting vandalism, whereas about 7 were bouts of vandalism (ranging from obvious to subtle). The other third was minor cleanup or corrections. The article has a long history of vandalism, including several temporary blocks. However, the previous protection worked wonderfully, and made the article stable. Based on previous results, I request this block. Furthermore, since vandalism starts up immediately after the block ends, I'm requesting indefinite status. <font face="Arial Black"><font color="#B22222">Gen.

Indefinite full protection: Some major changes were made by another user where factual data has been altered. I've reverted it back to the original revision. But the user keeps making the same revert. The user is yet again making mass changes/deletion of sourced content, soon after the unprotection. Despite other experienced editors' decision on "not including sources that are too old"(see article's talk page), the user has been making warring reverts without paying any heed to comments, by using pressurizing tactics. Please protect the page for a longer period, until a decision/conclusion is reached. The user has been making mass changes without consensus. Hari7478 (talk) 16:49, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Kindly refer to ANI complaint filed against Hari7478 here and Hari478's lack of response to the 4 issues raised for misquoting sources. He merely evades answering, reverts page to his version and seeks page protection. Unless Hari7478 agrees to answer on ANI page or elsewhere (on why he misqotes sources to pass off his own racist theories), his requests for page protection should not be allowed. He is merely vandalizing Iyengar and Vadakalai articles. --&#61; No &#124;&#124;&#124; Illusion &#61; (talk) 19:52, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Mayasutra


 * Although the decision in the talk page was "to not use sources that are too old", Mayasutra has been deleting the existing version of the section and has been contributing data with sources(which are old) that appear to be citing even older sources. Yet he says the sources aren't old(false edit summary) - see here -, and has been deleting major portions along with their sources. By the way he has also been using names in edit summaries and has been maligning me(false accusations/personal attacks) by repeatedly mentioning my username in discussions and edit summaries - See here:, . I'm also posting a few diffs that are evident of Mayasutra's abusive & disruptive behavior in talk page discussions & edit summaries(in the past) - , , . Although this is not the page to make these complaints, i had to respond to the above comment. Please protect the page. Hari7478 (talk) 20:13, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Robert Lester is not an old source. Sitush himself used Robert Lester as a source when referring to etymology of Iyengar. The issue is misquoting sources. Kindly refer to the ANI links provided. Hari7478's passes off his own fabricated conclusions by misquoting sources. As on ANI page, I stand by my statements that Hari7478's racism theories are half-baked and his statements are meandering (and I am not being abusive by saying so -- its a fact as anyone can check for themselves). IMO Hari7478 is consistently misusing wiki machinery to protect his misquoting of sources. Each time he reverts to his own racism version, then asks for page protection, reports me for vandalism, sock-puppetry, While NEVER answering on ANI page why he is misquoting sources.

 * The Iyengar and Vadakalai pages need to be protected from Hari7478's version. Hari7478 did not agree for mediation, did not reply on ANI page both times, and goes on reverting for an edit war. He merely puts up his own version, and asks for page protection so that no one can change it or challenge it. Before he seeks page protection, Hari7478 has to answer on the 4 issues raised against him, on misquoting sources, at the ANI page here --&#61; No &#124;&#124;&#124; Illusion &#61; (talk) 22:59, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Mayasutra

Full protection: The page is currently a redirect, but Dorner has been named as the suspect in the 2013 Southern California shootings.

Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator when no conviction is yet secured." and also that "A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person."

I am in the process of re-writing it, drawing extensively on reliable, secondary sources. However, yesterday, a couple of new accounts came in and inserted at the beginning of the article a long essay that is entirely unreferenced. It appears to be written by people who are close to a major personality mentioned in the article. I reverted their addition, explaining why briefly in the edit summary, and at more length on the talk page. I also went to these editors talk pages and posted notes of explanation.

Temporary full protection: Persistent vandalism – Although this article is under semi-protection, it is constantly getting vandalized and declining the edits is becoming a tiresome process, and some edits are slipping through the cracks. Even there have been several anon edits, almost all of them have been vandalism in some way shape or form. A quick look at the article history will reveal that almost all additions are reverted because they are not constructive. I am requesting that protection be moved up from semi to full, for a small amount of time. <font face="Arial Black"><font color="#B22222">Gen.

Indefinite semi-protection: Article is the long term target of single edit (most often IP) editors who object to the inclusion of the word Basque in reference to Elcano's ethnicity.

 * Diannaa, I appreciate the protection but it's not going to make much difference. This article was created in March 2003 and the first time this flared up was in 2005 and started to get really bad from 2006 onwards if you look at the page history. At a casual glance I'm counting more than a dozen edit wars since then around the use of the word "Basque".

Pending changes or block. An SPA, User:MalibuSurfKing, has appeared sporadically since September 2012 to prod this BLP or to remove key details from it. Dempsey is a journalist who wrote a book about the murder of Meredith Kercher. As a result, she came under attack on the Web from anonymous people who disagreed with her conclusions. The attacks have been sustained, sexist and very undermining. Within that context, it's a concern that one account keeps appearing to claim she isn't notable enough for an article. I'd therefore like to ask that an admin consider either applying pending changes so that MalibuSurfKing is unable to make further changes, or to block the account as an SPA causing BLP problems. Many thanks, SlimVirgin (talk) 01:45, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined Pending changes won't stop MalibuSurfKing, as they're autoconfirmed.

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. I have looked back in the history as far as november and the page is recieving persistent vandalism many times a month. I can't work out how far back it has to be reverted to. But there are "endemic and endless vandalism problems" too much for me to pick out. Please lock the page so that no further vandalism is done. And ask an admin to find a suitable older version to revert the page to. Main points to notice are buddhism is currently written as 1.9 billion, which it should not be. And past vandalism is continually putting christianity as 3.6 billion and islam as 2.1 billion which they also are not, although they have currently been corrected in the first table. In the "Adherents.com estimates" section, it still shows christianity at 3.6 billion and islam at 2.1 billion. So these need to be corrected. Also the first table is called "four largest religions". But it lists five religions which doesn't add up. These and other things are continually being edited and reverted over the past few months. It seems a battle between several people. So correction and locking is necessary in my view. 2.97.34.125 (talk) 18:42, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined I understand your concern.

Editor keeps on using primary and other nonreliable sources to say Lionsgate is a major studio when there is only one major news source proclaiming Lionsgate as a major studio while other still indicate that it is a mini-major.

Indefinite semi-protection Since the last semi-protection expired, the vandalism on the page has remained rife, with the history showing repetitive vandalism from certain IPs despite reversions explaining the issues. Last time, indefinite protection was declined in the hope that the vandalism would cease: sadly it has not. As before, I feel indefinite protection is necessary as a discography (or indeed any page) of a popular musician such as Kesha will attract a greater number of repeat vandals, meaning that it will simply resume when the page is unprotected. <font color="Green">I Am Rufus  &bull; <font colour="Blue" face="Garamond"> Conversation is a beautiful thing.  10:03, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Don't let them protect this page! Protecting these pages, like Darkness Shines wants to do, is a tactic that is being used widely over many of the Bangladeshi-Pakistani-Indian pages so that the editors who do this can game the content for their own POV biases. What they do is to semi-protect a page, finding whatever excuse they can dig up. Then they go after editors who do not agree with them. It's much easier for them to game the system once they've protected a page. Sanction lists have been abused -- that's an established fact! Other are being accused of being sock puppets in order to get their accounts blocked so that minor content disputes from those editors will disappear. Editors are being ganged up and then goaded into making more than 1 revert so that they will be blocked, especially inexperienced editors. BLP is being abused to no end in order to game content. This has got to stop! We need to protest this tactic. Wikipedia policy is being abused in order for some editors to turn pages into their POV fiefdoms.Crtew (talk) 00:06, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Unprotection: This page was semi'd 2 years ago by for persistent vandalism. Dabomb87 left the project last year, so I can not request them to unprotect. Page improvements are being discussed at the village pump and I suspect the vandals have since moved on.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – We seem to have two or more users, at least one IP and one unconfirmed, making quite a few recent vandalizations to this page.

Full protection: Long burning edit-war has heated up in the last two days with some IPs, some sock-puppetting, and a lack of necessary discussion on the talk page. Thargor Orlando (talk) 13:40, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Support.  I would take a close look when deciding which version to protect.  One (Thargor) has come from the last few months of talk, the one form CartoonDiablo is a big hand grenade / bundle that they keep tossing. Both sides have requested protection, I'm guessing that CD figures a 50/50 chance of getting their hand grenade locked is a good move. See article talk page.  Also open at ani.

Semi-protection. Most of the recent edits are vandalous edits or their reversions, and the rest are erroneous edits or their reversions. This is especially true of IP edits. 99.160.254.69 (talk) 06:29, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Temporary Protection: There is an ongoing edit war about whether a reference confirms the show's cancellation or not. An attempt to end the dispute through discussion has not worked. Since the edit war is between registered users it needs to be protection and not semi-protection. One week will hopefully be enough to settle this dispute through discussion.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Mr. Rosenberg's staff and publicist persistently vandalize edits to make the article into free advertisement instead of reporting objective facts. Even when others cite sources, they persistently revert edits back to inaccurate, untrue and unverified propaganda. I think indefinite protection is necessary in this case.

Semi-protection: Level of IP vandalism seems to still be steady after the previous semi-protection ended on 2 February 2013. Might recommend permanent semi-protection due to the possible high level of notability of the topic.
