Temporary semi-protection or pending changes - persistent vandalism and unconstructive edits that cause more work for others. If you want to be lenient and let some people have fun, then apply pending changes, but that still takes work to review, and most of the edits will be unconstructive anyways. - M0rphzone (talk) 02:27, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Consistent vandalism. This page is in dire need of semi-protection. The request I made last month was denied, but since then the vandalism has not stopped, but got worse. Jokers keep adding words like "stupid" or "crazy" and deleting sections. Until the page is semi-protected, the vandalism will continue, and, quite frankly, I'm getting sick of having to undo all these senseless edits. Osama57 (talk) 02:23, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined Sorry, but I'm really not seeing the vandalism you claim. I see you removing a lot of sourced content which you claim is vandalism, but it isn't, changing the table layouts etc. What I see here is a content dispute with no sign of a clear consensus.

 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined, As it's the same IP consistently, blocking them would be a more sensible approach than protecting the page.

Indefinite semi-protection This article has constantly been vandalized by IP addresses, most recently two which had only one edit each ever, which do nothing but remove Steve Jobs from the lists. This has been going on for quite some time now, many more IP addresses arguing on the talk page at times, it all obviously the same guy just going through totally different proxies. Temporary won't solve this problem, since this same person has been doing this for over a year now. and are more examples of two totally different IP addresses, editing just once, to remove the Steve Jobs entry from that list, these over a year old. Sometimes someone with a few edits appear, or someone who hasn't edited in years, but usually its just a new IP address with no other edits at all anywhere. This is not going to end. I could dig up more examples, but I think I made my point. Since the same vandal keeps hitting the article for more than a year and a half now, please make the protection permanent there.

Zagalejo locked the page and of course reverted it to his version. That is a very bias action. We were going back and forth over the article. Info I added Zagaeljo didnt like and would remove. When I asked why Z said it wasnt sourced. Did Z make any attempts to source< no Z just repeatedly reverted. I solely found sources for the information. All information I added is cited from washpost, nypost, latimes, and court documents. Z may not like that the info shows that kenny was reckless and an adultery but that is fact. Wiki doesnt hide the affairs of Elizabeth taylor, not Ingrid Berman nor Angelina jolie, so why should Kenny get a pass ? A neutral 3rd party needs to intervene.

 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined For being linked to the front page, only roughly 3 editors were producing vandalism/spam within the past month (and they were promptly blocked). This is relatively low, even for a normal article. In addition, content on the front page is usually not protected because we're trying to uphold the philosophy of being an "encyclopedia that anyone can edit". I understand it can be frustrating to have vandalism edits here and there but between the anti-vandalism volunteers and cluebot, it something that can be managed without protection.

 * Novaseminary has been blanking an entire section because he ruthlessly pushes his pov. Here is a history of his edit wars. Here is a little histoy on novaseminry. More can easily be found. I include it here to show the type of editor he is.

Request topic ban of User:Novaseminary for persistent disruptive editing at Douglas Tait (stuntman)

User:Novaseminary has tried unsuccessfully to get the Douglas Tait (stuntman) BLP deleted twice before. Here, and here. But having failed at deletion twice, for two years now, Novaseminary has also failed at WP:LETITGO. He persistently challenges the BLP's notability and threatens to start a 3rd deletion attempt. He also regularly violates WP:DE. He edit wars and disruptively edits almost on a daily basis, pushes POV, attacks other articles because they are mentioned in the BLP, creates suspect disambig stubs, insists on irrelevant or dated edits, violates OR, uses citation tags to edit war, like here, here, here and here, removes sourced quotes and attacks and fights to include and spreads unflattering and irrelevant material about the BLP's subject over several editor's objections.

But Novaseminary is also knowledgeable of WP rules. So knowledgeable that he uses WP to argue & defend his indefensible actions, even as he ignores all the WP rules & policies that his tendentious editing violates. He cites the rules that give him cover, and just ignores those that expose his tactics as disruptive. Recommend an immediate topic ban. Not just for the Douglas Tait (stuntman) BLP, but for all the articles sourced in the BLP. Otherwise he will just retaliate by continuing to disrupt them. 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:A449:F5CE:8339:FCA2 (talk) 10:20, 12 October 2012 (UTC) This looks like a content dispute. Have you taken this to WP:DRN as a first port of call? --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:33, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it's more than a content issue. It's a persistent, long-term pattern of disruptive behavior. So per WP:DDE, ANI "may be the best first step." 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:A449:F5CE:8339:FCA2 (talk) 10:49, 12 October 2012 (UTC) The article would probably benefit from both these editors leaving it alone. Drmies (talk) 16:20, 12 October 2012 (UTC) Fact is, unless admins enforce it, don't count on it. Otherwise I wouldn't have had to come here. I've suggested several times that Novaseminary just take a Wikibreak from the article. He refused. 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:3533:DED5:47AA:B44 (talk) 19:49, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

I found this at WP:RFPP and have spent more time than I'm willing to admit looking through it all. 3RR violations from dynampic IPs are really disruptive, but similarly I think we can do without Noveseminary's bizarre obsession with this person. I'm going to give Novaseminary time to respond, but I strongly lean towards a topic ban for both users. – Steel 00:45, 13 October 2012 (UTC) You know what? I'll accept that. If Novaseminary is topic banned, I'll voluntarily self-ban. My only request is that the last edit before the ban is monitored/reviewed by uninvolved 3rd party/parties to insure no Novaseminary POV. Thanks. 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:3533:DED5:47AA:B44 (talk) 02:35, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

I've never violated a single guideline or policy at this article. The IP seems to care more about how this person is presented favorably than about the nietrality of WP, but it tough to know what else if anything this IP has edited. This article was one of several resume-like PR/POV articles i've come across over the years. I, and others, tried to make it neutral and then kept it on my watchlist. Almost everything i've done i've discussed at talk. I have only even edited this over the last few weeks because an IP came along and removed well sourced text without discussion until posted at a NB. Novaseminary (talk) 13:57, 13 October 2012 (UTC) I would also point out, I only nominated this article for deletion once, with no consensus. I actually came across it at the first successful AfD nom made, not by me, but another editor. The IP seems to think I have had it out for this person, but I have been only one of several editors to do things the IP apparently disapproves of, but that I think comply with policy. (At one point the article cited several non-RS articles written by a single publicist, for instance.) Novaseminary (talk) 14:12, 13 October 2012 (UTC) Our IP user has agreed to a self-ban from this article providing you do the same. From your comments above that the IP's edits are the only reason you've even been editing the page recently, this should be an acceptable resolution for you too. Right? – Steel 15:11, 13 October 2012 (UTC) Yes. Novaseminary? I do agree that you have an all-too strong interest in that article. Drmies (talk) 17:16, 13 October 2012 (UTC) I'd just like to point out that I haven't touched the article since Drmies came along and restored some sanity to it. Even though we still disagree on an issue, and even after the temp-protect was denied. But even as a dynamic IP, I've respected all these dispute resolution processes. I should also point out the same can't be said for Novaseminary. Just today: 1, 2 and 3. Drmies has already attacked my intentions and falsely accused me of COI - after working on the article for just a few weeks. By the way, I found nothing that supports Novaseminary's "single publicist" theory. But what I did find, is that Novaseminary has been at this article for almost 2 years, much of it for months at a time as it's as the sole editor! Just look at the period from March to May of this year, folks. And please let's not forget Novaseminary's "Douglas Tait obsession" goes well beyond just the article. The creation of his weird disambiguation. The fact that he slapped up a Douglas Tait (illustrator) stub that was so non-notable, that months later, it's still just a stub. He also slaps up citation tags on any article even mentioned in the BLP, as I noted originally. And just today, his obsession with 1 article on Tait about him getting kicked off his HS basketball team was revealed again! (Which by the way, a subsequent article that he never includes noted was a 1 day suspension!) But for your convenience, and possibly entertainment, I pulled just how many times and places I could find where he (or his meatpuppet who did it twice), have fought to include that one article - over the objection of far more editors than just me: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, and just TODAY - you guessed it: 32! But that tally also excludes these, found on the article on Tait's high school, Bishop Alemany High School : 33, 34, 35, and 36! By the way, he has also attacked that article, presumably because the school and/or team dared to admit Tait: 1, and 2. So it should be clear by now folks, that the problem isn't me. But is exactly as Steel said: Novaseminary has some "bizarre obsession with this person." Geez, Novaseminary can't even stay off an article when he's being ANI'd over it! Now I know, to Drmies, I'm just some lowly SPA with a dynamic IP and some as alleged, yet unexplained, COI. But I just happened upon this deal a few weeks ago, and you've got a real problem on your hands that's been persistent long before me. So you can either do something about it, or you can continue to let Novaseminary's wackadoodle freak flag fly. 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:CC27:F942:1C73:3E49 (talk) 19:48, 13 October 2012 (UTC) I do not think that is true that the IP has left the article alone since Drmies restored sanity to it. IP seems to have edit warred with the Dr since the Dr made his edits. That is why the Dr asked for the article to be partially protected. In fact, the Dr reverted IP most recently. And I just restored to the version IP said he agreed with (and others did, too) on talk, but then s/he changed. Novaseminary (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘The only reason I have edited the page at all since this iteration was created is because it was recreated after deletion at AfD and, at that time, was quite promotional. To be clear, I do not think this individual satisfies N (the only indepth coverage were several articles since disclaimed by the newspaper and removed from the article and one more article that striked me as a non-RS). But if there is to be an article, it should not be a promo piece, or even a non-promotional piece that neglects widely covered aspects of this individual because somebody doesn't want that covered. And it is not just the current variable IPv6. Various other IPs at other times have inserted unsourced or promotional material. So has at least one regular editor who was blocked, X4n6 (whose arguments and edit history seem to me quite similar to our IPv6 editor). I have always tried to achieve consensus at talk and adide by it, and except for disagreements from IP or other editors who have actually broken WP guidelines and policies and been blocked for it (X4n6 and one of the recent IPv6 identities blocked here), I and the other editors have succeeded in reaching consensus (including the current version of this article). We did so despite being up against at least one individual who, in my opinion, did not have WP's best interests at heart or even any stated or apparent interest in WP for WP's sake at all. I think it would be strange and detrimental to WP to topic ban an editor who has never been blocked, has followed all guielines and policies on the article in question, seeks and abides by consensus at the article in question, and has only had run-ins at the article with tenacious editors who have been blocked for their violations of various guidelines and policies (including the IP requesting this action who certainly has before and does even in the post above with the "wackadoodle freak flag fly" comment and unsupported claim I have a meatpuppet). I hope we don't allow editors whose edits indicate that they are more interested in positive coverage of a particular subject have veto power of a good faith editor who edits to keep WP from being misused for the sake of WP. Novaseminary (talk) 01:44, 14 October 2012 (UTC) I don't think anyone disagrees that 2602.304 is a disruptive presence on the page. But it takes two, and the edit history for September and October is just crazy. There is more than one person here who thinks that both of you should just chill and give it a rest for a little while. The Wiki is bigger than this one article, and if it's true that you've only been editing the article because of 2602.304, then this will have zero effect on your editing. There are still other users who can look after the page. So unless any other uninvolved users want to chime in, I think we can consider the dual article ban done. – Steel 14:08, 14 October 2012 (UTC) On second thoughts, instead of an article ban let's make it a topic ban on anything related to Tait, that way Bishop Alemany High School, and any other page that this might spill over to, is included as well. – Steel 14:16, 14 October 2012 (UTC) It's been a very long time since I've read such a steaming pile of desperate, self-serving, "everybody did bad but me, daddy!" fiction that it was actually embarrassing to read. Novaseminary's "defense?" Everyone ganged up on poor him, while all he did was wear angel wings - while he alone protected the very existence of WP from the mortal threat posed by this one minor article with limited traffic. Ridiculous, and not a string of truth anywhere!

1) Here, his edit-warring with Drmies: Here and here and of course, his all-time favorite, here. 2) To Novaseminary's claim that the restored article was the same as the deleted one, was originally made back on March 3. Here's the response. But that wasn't good enough for him. Obviously. So much for collaborative editing. Equally obvious, Novaseminary's 2nd AfD also failed. In fact, while he says there was no consensus, there originally was consensus - to keep. Once again, Novaseminary fought it and an admin changed it, despite an !vote itself of 4 to 2 to Keep, to no consensus. 3) To his claim that the article was promotional? Here's the first entry. Remarkable how it contains much of the same material and sources, even after Novaseminary had months of editing it, several alone, to supposedly scrub it of anything "promotional." 4) Novaseminary also routinely challenges the notability of anything remotely related to Tait's N. Like here, here and here. The apparent offense of these festivals? They screened Tait's film. But this isn't the first time he's been called out for going after sources simply because they establish Tait's notability. 5) Novaseminary also attempted to make hay over the fact that an editor who challenged his edits, (pretty vocally too), was blocked. Well here's a portion of Novaseminary's own record. He misrepresented his own history on Noticeboards. Seems this isn't his first rodeo. There may have been more incidents in his history, but this was so well-detailed, I didn't see the need to look for any more. 6) Just as he misrepresented the current version of the article. Which I have now restored to reflect the actual consensus. 7) By the way, this is meatpuppetry: 1, 2, 3, 4. 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:48A6:D443:F2D6:231F (talk) 14:44, 14 October 2012 (UTC) I resent the claims of the IP (by that, I mean the person who has been posting using IP v6 Addresses in the range 2602:3FF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF) that my actions have been meatpuppetry (and consequently that I am a meatpuppet). The IP should have brought this section to my attention, and neglected to do so. I have warned the IP for making a personal attack in this edit. The IP has never answered my question "What are your goals in editing this talk page?" about Talk:Douglas Tait (stuntman) in this edit. The IP has consistently refused to login or to create an account, to "tell us which other IP Addresses you have been using" (asked in the same edit), and to "Kindly provide a single user talk page on which to discuss your conduct"[1], and has instead deflected such queries as "inappropriate".[2] Given WP:BOOMERANG, I wish to discuss the IP's conduct here. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 21:37, 14 October 2012 (UTC) The complete extent of Jeff G. ツ's contributions here, here, here, and here, was: "Yes per Novaseminary.", "I agree wholeheartedly with Novaseminary's position on this issue." and to twice repost a link that Novaseminary reposted over 35 times on a least 2 articles. A link that has been rejected by more than a dozen other editors. So he's free to resent the meatpuppetry conclusion. The log is the log. Although there was also his repeated attacks aimed at me while complaining of my attack on Novaseminary. As he himself, illustrated, 3 times I had to ask him to focus on the RfC topic instead of me. Three times he was unable to do so. Regarding his other issues, not surprisingly - again all focused on me and not the topic: a) I'm not required to create an acct, nor do I choose to do so. "Wikipedia is for everyone". b) Nor do I need to "tell us which other IP Addresses you have been using", mein Herr. c) My dynamic IP meant that I never saw his IP talk page post, but I called his attack on me "inappropriate" in an RfC forum, because I actually took a line from Novaseminary, who had said earlier: "Okay, but this is not the place to discuss blocking me or to dicsuss me at all." Interesting that he only found it troublesome when I said it, but not when Novaseminary did. Ironic, huh? 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:4191:1232:48D4:51E3 (talk) 01:25, 15 October 2012 (UTC) Not to speak for him, but you never had discussed at talk why you continued to remove the Los Angeles Times article about Tait when he reverted you. You only discussed after I requested page protection. And what more than dozen editors is IP talkign about? IP removing without discussion over a dozen times, against the only discussion at talk, is not the same as over a dozen editors removing it. IP has seen fit to document and complain of my 35 edits here at ANI (miscontrueing and including among them POV edits such as (31 above, as of this edit, and the very offensive 13 above). Where are the more than dozen editors that have removed anything I have added at that article? And if this is not the place to discuss IP, it is also not the place to discuss me. Novaseminary (talk) 02:09, 15 October 2012 (UTC) There was no reason to rehash his question, since I had already thoroughly discussed it at the Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard: Douglas Tait (stuntman) - 2nd Review Request where he had participated. By the way, the full extent of his utility there was this to you: "That's a great compromise, thanks!" Obviously, I also should have included that as well. 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:4191:1232:48D4:51E3 (talk) 02:42, 15 October 2012 (UTC) But his emotional appeal was also instructive for what it didn't defend or explain. Like: a) His bizarre disambiguation. b) His abandoned and non-notable Douglas Tait (illustrator) stub. c) His wikistalking & original research of Talk's personal cell number. d) His attacks on other articles mentioned in Tait's article: 1, and 2. e) His attacks-by-citation tags on other articles because they were mentioned in Tait's article. Like here, here and here. f) His recent redlinking of the article, which he only withdrew when I showed him the notes against excessive redlinking, esp. if he never planned on writing those articles. g) His obsession with 1 article about Tait's high school basketball suspension. He posted it over 35 times, on two articles! I've also removed it from here - where it's also not only irrelevant, but inconsistent with all the other notable alumns. NONE of whom need citations - and many of whom also have their own BLPs. h) His insistence in renaming the article "Douglas Tait (stuntman). Tait's infobox mentions actor twice, stuntman and filmmaker. If it weren't for his orphaned stub of [Douglas Tait (illustrator)], which should probably be deleted for N, Tait wouldn't need to be listed as a "stuntman", since that ignores the entire body of his acting credits and other work as a filmmaker. i) And finally why, if Novaseminary's only interest in the article was to keep it from becoming promotional, couldn't/didn't he accomplish that in the 2 months when only he was regularly editing the article, from March to May of this year. Either that was not his intention at all, as he's claimed. Or he's just a really incompetent (CIR) editor. Something else is going on with his obsession over Tait. That much is obvious. Finally, in response to his admittedly well-crafted rhetorical appeal - which he always seems to display whenever he needs it on Noticeboards - but is rarely in evidence in his contentious edits and stubborn failure to edit collaboratively. I say, save the rhetoric. His duplicitous and conniving edit pattern, contrived speechifying and transparent agenda, speak for him. A review of his edit log clearly shows he forfeited any AGF a long time ago. It also makes a strong argument that he has damaged the very WP, and regularly violating the very WP rules & guidelines, that he now claims he protected. His last disciplinary action, just a few months ago, proves the Tait article isn't just a lone exception in the way he operates here. 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:48A6:D443:F2D6:231F (talk) 14:44, 14 October 2012 (UTC) Steel, I'd like it noted, that I must have posted my last response at the same time that you did. And while we disagree that I have been disruptive - esp. given the time it obviously takes to research and craft responses that I hope have been useful, I understand your need to be Solomonic here and split the baby to protect your own. Fine. But yes, the topic ban was my original request, so enormous thanks for that. I also see you've protected the page as well. Again, no problem. I'll keep my part of the bargain. But, and I really hope this won't be misconstrued as "disruptive", but I'll look it over in a day or so and leave any final thoughts/comments/requests on your talk page. Thanks. 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:48A6:D443:F2D6:231F (talk) 14:58, 14 October 2012 (UTC) I do not agree to a topic ban. The IP continues to insure his/her POV remains with edits, of course, right before the lock. This is a content dispute with a disruptive IP, nothing more. This is not the appropriate DR location for this discussion anyway. On the other hand, if the article is reverted to the pre-IP state, I would happily stand down. Or even if the non-RSs (and corresponding facts) were removed and the discussion of his basketball career that notes he didn't play much in the season before he was supposedly casted as a basketball player because of his play. Either way, if others (other than disruptive IP) want to discuss that version and change it, I bet there would be little to no disagreement in the future. A partial protection would probably take care of everthing. Novaseminary (talk) 18:57, 14 October 2012 (UTC) That Novaseminary disagrees with the topic ban shouldn't surprise anyone. Nor should his argument that only his POV should remain there. It's also all everyone needs to read before they argue that any voluntary ban would ever work. It wouldn't. He could never be trusted to follow it. He still points blame at everyone else, but himself. Especially the "disruptive IP". He has never once accepted any responsibility for his own actions or ever even acknowledged that he did anything wrong. So if we're being honest, call that what it is: textbook psychopathy. Cavarrone nailed it below: "I see him too involved in the topic, and some of his edits (see the relevant talk page, with - often original, and in somewhat manner weird - researches about Tout's private life, cellular number, activity as wedding videographer, a basketball team suspension during school years and so on) seems to reveal a little (negative) obsession about the subject." So let's all stop the "blame the disruptive IP game" once and for all, and see Novaseminary's transparent playing of the "Help me, it's us members of the community vs. the disruptive IP" card, for what it is. Novaseminary - and Novaseminary alone - brought all of this on himself. By himself. The End. 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:71D1:9226:27E0:22AA (talk) 20:51, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

OMG, I've never seen such.....er...passion regarding such a non-noteworthy individual before. I remember when this page was first created and there was a lot of disagreemen over whether he was even notable (I was not one that thought he was). I do NOT think that there should be a topic ban for either, as then we'd have no one even editing this page. LOL. In all seriousness, I think a temporary topic ban would be acceptable. For instance, just keep the page fully protected for say 1 or 2 weeks and let everyone cool down. There is nothing on the page that is negative or requires immediate removal at the moment and the time away from the topic could do everyone good. I think there are a lot of egos on both sides being tested here and time apart is appropriate, IMO. I am NOT for any permanent bans or blocks. I think this has to do with editors that want the best but are going at it from 2 different sides of the equation. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 19:48, 14 October 2012 (UTC) I'm not knowledgeable on this particular situation, but I have had an IMMENSE amount of interaction with Novaseminary which started with this: [3] and thankfully 98% ended with this Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive732#User Novaseminary reported for obsessive battling and disruptive behavior I certain that I'm the Wikipedian that knows them best. They do launch into obsessive battling behavior against individuals, including following them around and even creepier privacy related stuff that I don't care to get into. And they have "skated" by being expert at mis-using and mis-quoting policies and guidelines and clever wording that disguises such warfare as not being such. If you really want to do something really huge for Wikipedia, take a close look at what has happened at this article with this framework in mind, and 1 or preferably more folks should warn them to reduce the type of behavior exhibited. I believe that they would be very influence-able by that type of input, and with that course correction would be a good editor, as they also do much good work, aside from the above. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 20:26, 14 October 2012 (UTC) I think Novaseminary's response - and reaction - finally exposed the real him. This is about policies that his tendentious editing violates. He cites the rules that give him cover, and just ignores those that expose his tactics as disruptive. Recommend an immediate topic ban. Not just for the Douglas Tait (stuntman) BLP, but for all the articles sourced in the BLP. Otherwise he will just retaliate by continuing to disrupt them. 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:A449:F5CE:8339:FCA2 (talk) 10:20, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

This looks like a content dispute. Have you taken this to WP:DRN as a first port of call? --[[User:Ritchie333|out what's best for the Tait article, or even what's best for WP. It's about Novaseminary getting his way and getting the last word. It was amusing that he can't even let the current version stand for a second because it doesn't have his edits on it. Edits that, by consensus, had to go. And again it's also telling that he didn't even try to refute my report card on his record. Because he can't. So instead, he's called in the cavalry and asked other editors to help. Which is his right. But he's also cherry-picked editors who have worked on the article before and whom he believes he can reliably trust to agree with him. Where are all the requests for comment from editors who have worked on it and like me, also complained about his edits? He sure didn't send them "Hail Mary" invites. So I think contributions from NON-INVOLVED editors with no history on the BLP should be weighted more. I especially appreciate the comments of North, who has zero axe to grind on this article having never touched it, but who's own experience with Novaseminary makes him uniquely positioned to comment on this user's disruptive and yes, disturbing behavior. At this point it should be clear to everyone that nothing "temporary" regarding Novaseminary will/would ever work. Unless he is stopped, he won't stop. He'll say what he must say on Noticeboards to escape censure and restrictions, and then just wait until the heat dies. And then he'll resume as if nothing happened. And he'll be free to do it on the Tait article because it's not well-traveled, so it'll go on for months again until some "horrible IP" like me happens along and risks being called "disruptive", just by showing the WP community what it failed to catch or monitor itself: That he has an absolutely clear pattern and agenda, at least on the Tait article and probably on his other SPA edits elsewhere. Someone should review and request feedback from editors there to see. Because it would be incredibly foolish to let him escape responsibility again, just months after North's Noticeboard complaint. As he's demonstrated, it would also be foolish to expect/assume any voluntary, unmonitored change. People are who they are and they consistently do what they do. 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:9577:E52E:CA24:3B6D (talk) 21:29, 14 October 2012 (UTC) Just clarifying one point, it's my guess that they would be influenced by well-written on-target warnings. North8000 (talk) 21:51, 14 October 2012 (UTC) I still think it's best if Novaseminary simply stays away from the article. Drmies (talk) 21:58, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘I didn't respond to IP's "report card" because it is not worthy of a response. My only concern at this article is that WP not be used for promotional purposes or be exploited to only show the good about a particular subject leaving out articles in national newspapers covering the subject in a less flattering way. That is my true color. You might disagree with how I have tried to do that, but seeing as I would prefer the article not exist (not that it highlight unflattering material about Tait, and certainly not that it be a resume, linked, as it was, from his facebook page), what else would have caused my alleged POV? If we allow an IP to inhibit strict reliance on RS and V and NPOV, especially in a BLP, the project will be worse off. I would love to tone it down. IP does not seem to have the same interest. And going straight to a ban, even though no other blocks have been made (against, me, of course; the requestor has been blocked before), and no earlier steps in editor-related DR has been undertaken, seems to violate WP:BAN. I would also note and agree with JeffG's interspersed edit above (under IP's #7 above). No meatpuppetry. This also weighs against a topic ban (for me) at least. I tried to use DR and talk. Novaseminary (talk) 23:08, 14 October 2012 (UTC) You didn't respond, because after having your own disruptive edit log laid bare in front of you, even you have no response. Frankly, your responses only remind people why no temporary or voluntary solution requiring your compliance would ever work. I'm not entirely convinced that you shouldn't be banned altogether for abusing this project and distorting it to make it your own personal plaything. But that's for others to eventually decide. 2602:304:5EA1:52A9:4191:1232:48D4:51E3 (talk) 02:20, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

I support the topic ban for both the editors, and, as the IP appears to accept this solution, I would be glad to see Novaseminary voluntarily accepting it. I see him too involved in the topic, and some of his edits (see the relevant talk page, with - often original, and in somewhat manner weird - researches about Tout's private life, cellular number, activity as wedding videographer, a basketball team suspension during school years and so on) seems to reveal a little (negative) obsession about the subject. At any rate, this endless war is of no use to the project. Cavarrone (talk) 09:05, 15 October 2012 (UTC) A topic ban for both editors might be a good idea, I feel that the amount of time both editors have wasted on what seems like an insignificant article is becoming excessive, not to mention RFCs and BLP/N discussions that didn't really go anywhere. At this point, both editors seem to be too involved to be dispassionate and balanced in their actions on article. Also, given some of the personal attacks that have gone down on Talk:Douglas Tait (stuntman), I think an interaction ban between the two might be helpful as well, though I don't know how that would work with a variable IP editor like 2602.304. Jonathanfu (talk) 10:34, 15 October 2012 (UTC) I disagree to some extent with a topic ban for NovaSeminary. I don't know that it would matter to the IP since I don't think WikiPedia can effectively ban an entire internet provider, but if something can be done, maybe. I'm not sure being "too involved" is grounds for a ban, else much of WP would be banned. I might be more inclined to agree if the IP seemed to be editing in good faith and not breaking the rules. I think all of this is foolishness, though. As I (non)voted at the original AfD the second AfD after the deleted article was recreated (Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Douglas_Tait), this article does not meet the criteria for inclusion. I don't see many/any editors disagreeing with that here, and in one productive thing NovaSeminary did by noting a few of the in-depth sources are disavowed, the article is less notable than it appeared during the AfD. Why not delete the article and be done with the dispute? Hoppingalong (talk) 00:45, 16 October 2012 (UTC) Mmmmm I don't think your personal view about the subject's notability is so much related with the problem we are discussing. I'm pretty sure that NovaSeminary is convinced, in absolute good faith, that the subject is unnotable, but this could not be a justification to engage in an endless war with other users who wish to improve the article after that the deletion request NovaSeminary promoted has not been approved. Side Note: NovaSeminary shows some research skills, it's a shame that they are wasted, for months, in a similar article and in a few others related to this subject. Cavarrone (talk) 07:38, 16 October 2012 (UTC) The only editor I have more than passingly disagreed with since the spring on this article was the IPv6 who unabashedly violated 3RR repeatedly. I never violated 3RR, in letter or spirit. I repeatedly engaged at Talk (and RfC and elsehwere) and tried to incorporate elements of what the IP seemed to want to do so far as policies and guidelines allowed (even if I thought it was not good, a la the overwrought discussion of Tait's scoring). I tried to arrive at consensus, and did several times with editors who did not put their view of this particular article above the goals of the project as a whole. I compromised many times. It is a fair point that this unnotable article was not worth those efforts on its own, but I do think that the principle that WP not devolve into a series of promotional articles, especially on minor articles that don't get much traffic, is worth considerable effort. There are still facts in the article sourced only to non-RSs and which don't seem to be supported by any RS. Regardless, I was not the only editor who repeatedly reverted the IP. The IP was the only editor who was battling for the positions s/he took, by and large. But Hoppingalong and Cavarrone are correct. I certainly do not think this subject meets N and that the article should be deleted. Hoppingalong makes a good point: There would be no reason to consider topic banning me or the IP if the article is deleted (though the IP's repeated violations of 3RR and other policies might justify a another block, but the first and only had no effect, so it wouldn't be worth the trouble with no evidence this IP is editing elsewhere). Novaseminary (talk) 00:59, 17 October 2012 (UTC) Lol, it was already clear that the deletion of the article would be a greatly appreciated outcome for you, but again this is not the point. For what I can see from edit history, you didn't accepted the outcome of the AfD and from then you focused your activity on WP in this article and in a few others related to it, and considering your skills this is a waste (of time, of abilities, of everything). Part of your actions on this article was useful, but (sadly) a great part of them was just vain fuss. And both you and the ip you have developed an idea of ​​property of this article, and this is always a damage to the project. Please accept a wikibreak on this article, there are thousands of other less-involved editors that could patrol it, especially now that the problem was rised at ANI, and they could make your own work, probably from a more neutral point of view. And spend more time on other articles, so that your skills are used in a more useful way. Cavarrone (talk) 07:21, 17 October 2012 (UTC) Cavarrone: Novaseminary always forgets there is an edit history. That history doesn't lie and it doesn't engage in self-serving puffery. This is how unnotable Tait is to Novaseminary: From March 3, his first contribution to "improving" the article - which was a speedy tag -, to his last effort before the block, an October 13 nitpick about Tait's high school basketball years: the Tait article is so unnotable to Novaseminary, that he logged over two hundred and fifty edits there. Tait is so unnotable to Novaseminary that he also logged over one hundred posts on the article's talk page: where he also felt it was important to share with editors what he had found about: "The phone listed on Tait's resume", or asking "Is it worth mentioning Tait's CINE Award?", or "I removed the "Fan following section.", or where he fought to include the number he had counted of the stuntmen who shared Tait's SAG Award nomination for Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture claiming that without including his actual count of the number of stuntmen: "One would not know Tait was part of an ensemble.". Because presumably, the word "Ensemble" in the title of the award isn't clear enough. Just this week, Novaseminary complained on the talk page about: "one sentence ("He played the role of "Jason" in the final scene of Freddy vs. Jason.") was left in the "Creature character roles" section with a reference to this website. In light of the the source and fact having been removed elsewhere (along with other non-RSs), was this left in inadvertently? I don't think this website is an RS and that the fact and source should be removed."' Of course, had he read the source, he would have discovered it was actually an indie film production company's official website. This company had hired Tait for a role in their film and were so pleased they announced: "Vigilance Films signs Douglas Tait to play 'Simon' in The Season. Mr. Tait, a working stuntman and actor, got his break playing “Jason” in the ending scenes of Freddy Vs. Jason. Since then, he has worked a lot behind prosthetic fx makeup and creature suits.". But yet to Novaseminary, an official announcement from an employer, who acknowledges an important point on an actor's resume isn't a RS. The list goes on and on. If Tait appears so unnotable, perhaps it's just because Novaseminary has worked so hard to try to make the article appear so. Those totals of Novaseminary's edit contributions also don't include his long list of edits on abandoned disambiguations, WP forums and related links that I've already covered, that Novaseminary has easily spent hundreds if not thousands of man-hours populating. All for such an unnotable. Then what does that say about Novaseminary and the time he's spend cyber-obsessing over Tait. Tait - an "unnotable": whose bio appears in the New York Times; has been mentioned as being pivotal to the work of an Academy Award winner's award-winning work - also published in no less a RS as the Los Angeles Times, been nominated for a major industry award, produced a film that won major film festival awards, and is one of the performers who played an iconic role in an iconic film series and has the fan-base, cult following and professional credits to prove it.[4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. No doubt if Novaseminary were so unnotable, he'd have a BLP too. While Novaseminary claims he's only edit warred with me - or correction: "The only editor I have more than passingly disagreed with since the spring on this article was the IPv6 who unabashedly violated 3RR repeatedly. I never violated 3RR, in letter or spirit." Again, the edit logs tell a different story. Just some of the editors who have complained about or had run-ins with Novaseminary on this article: Trekkieman, who had to tell him: "You have been trying to delete this page for some time sir, and now you are trying whittle it down to nothing. You have already added the (stuntman) next to his name to further discredit the "ACTOR". Now you are adding negative articles to his page, and pass them off as needed articles to prove he went to Alemany. C'mon, back off." or x4n6' who had to post: "A pattern of unsourced edits and removing sourced edits on this BLP has emerged in blatant violation of WP:TE. If the disruptive editing continues, the editor will be reported. Suggest: if you will not/cannot contribute constructively to this BLP, see WP:JDI and WP:LETITGO. Otherwise, pursuing this course will result in action." Novaseminary edit warred with that person for months. Then there was Kuru, who after denying Novaseminary's speedy, saying: "decline CSD; does not appear to be "A sufficiently identical and unimproved copy" - has been improved and expanded)" was met with Novaseminary's response: "(tag for notability - unclear anything has changed since Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Douglas tait)". There was also MichaelQSchmidt, who had to remove several of Novaseminary's RS tags by saying "Dread Central and Cinefantastique and Fangoria are considered reliable sources for film related articles)". There were IP users, probably Tait fans more than WP fans, because many had never contributed to WP before. I should also probably point out that this Tait article was created on April 5, 2011. And before Novaseminary's March 3, 2012 first contribution - which was that speedy tag, without one word of editing, the article enjoyed contributions from 9 editors. None of whom found it unnotable, or tagged it for speedy. In fact as the edit history makes very clear, there were exactly zero problems with the newly rewritten BLP - until Novaseminary created the problems. Lastly, this obviously isn't about Tait's clear N which the links prove he easily meets on all three levels of WP:NACTOR, but it's about Novaseminary's unashamed attempt to dominate: see WP:OWN, the content of the article, and to do so in a decidedly negative, NPOV way. His latest claim that another AfD would solve the problem is just more proof that he doesn't have this project's best interests in mind, just his own. And remember, as North8000 has repeatedly tried to remind everyone, this ain't Novaseminary's first rodeo here, but it is consistent with how he operates. And Hoppingalong's delete comments would have carried more weight if s/he weren't the user who reverted the Keep decision on the last failed AfD. He should have revealed that here. Having not, his own bias is also self-evident. But finally, it's interesting that in all Novaseminary's concern about Douglas Tait (stuntman)'s notability, he doesn't question Douglas Tait (illustrator)'s notability, which he clearly supports. The Douglas Tait (illustrator) that he created. Then abandoned. Seems that if he were really interested in deleting unnotable BLPs, that would be an excellent place to start. 2602:304:5EA1:1429:DC5D:7BA6:DC0:5316 (talk) 00:37, 18 October 2012 (UTC) Speaking of wasting time...

There's been no vandalism and the article is not being updated.

Semi-protection We have had temporary semi-protection before and then a temporary full protection. They have both resulted in the IPs waiting until protection is lifted - about a week - for them to come back at the same rate as before. During the periods of protection, they refuse to address any concerns on the Talk page. If the amount of time were longer then it may result in them being forced to address concerns there -- or at least creating usernames. I'd move for a much longer period for this head of state.

This article was protected within about an hour of creation "to be on the safe side". Dennis Brown has refused to unprotect it because he believes that a consensus at AN/I has established that articles such as this should be protected whether or not any vandalism has taken place, and should remain protected. In my view that mindset runs counter to everything that WP stands for. 80.174.78.102 (talk) 19:41, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The IP hasn't given a reason why he/she is so desperate to have it unprotected. The bombing is still a fluid situation, and there is a larger than average number of fringe theories without evidence being thrown about.  Unprotecting would certainly lead to the sort of unconstructive editing that would hinder the development of the article (IE racist screeds against Muslims, False Flag claims, hoaxes, and the disassembler (IE the vandal who replaces casualty related text with XX "human beings were disassembled" in articles related to disasters).  I say leave it protected.  Vilano XIV (talk) 19:58, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * There is no reason why it should be protected. Nobody posted any of the things that you are worried about before it was protected. It is one of the most watched articles on the site. If anyone posted anything remotely resembling vandalism, it would be removed in a flash. If there is a lot of vandalism once it is unprotected, then it can be protected again very easily. I would hope that if that happened administrators would continue to unprotect it periodically to test the water, but I don't see that happening. There is a meme that has taken deep hold here, especially among admins and some experienced users, that ips are the enemy. That totally loses sight of the founding tenet of this encyclopedia: readers are editors. 80.174.78.102 (talk) 20:13, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * IP, the bombings are high-profile at the moment and considering the variety of opinions being tossed around on its talk page, especially the WBC and the superfluous information discussions, it is probably not a good idea to have an admin unprotect a page whose content is being contested as such (see WP:ROUGH as well). --RAN1 (talk) 20:38, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * As an addendum, see below for instructions on how to request an edit be made to the page and an autoconfirmed user will likely make the edit for you. --RAN1 (talk) 20:43, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I disagree. You shouldn't get into the habit of thinking that non-registered editors are bad editors. You shouldn't get into the habit of thinking that registered editors know best, or that their edits are of a higher quality than unregistered editors. Most of all, you shouldn't allow yourself to be lulled into accepting that one user's opinion about content is more valuable than another's simply because he has registered an account, or carries a mop. 80.174.78.102 (talk) 21:14, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be easier to get verified rather than go through this sort of thing? That's what I'm doing. As it is, noone knows what your intentions are. People have begged to have articles unprotected only to vandalize them. It happened with the 9/11 article, Sandy Hook, etc. It has barely been 24 hours - give it some time.Vilano XIV (talk) 20:41, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * If people want to edit the article, they should be able to, registered or not. That's the way WP works. Don't prevent editors from editing without good reason. There is no reason for that page to be protected. 80.174.78.102 (talk) 21:14, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The IP need not give a reason. This is an encyclopaedia anyone can edit and we default to unprotection in the absence of good reason. I note in passing that at least two other admins protected the article before the protection was assumed by Dennis Brown. I'm also minded to not unprotect this article for the twin reasons of the very high rate of editing and its high 'visibility'. It seems editors are barely able to keep the article straight as it is, such is the rate of incoming news, speculation, and other edits. The IP mentioned testing the water - it still looks too rough to me. Experience tells me with this rate of editing on an article with this much coverage, vandalism is extremely likely. And I dread to think how many are currently trying to read the article, hoping for an accurate vandalism-free article. Unfortunately there are some times an account comes in useful, and this seems to me to be one of them. It's why we have the edit semi-protected templates. Assuming another admin agrees with me and formally declines this request, try reminding me tomorrow to check again. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:48, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * (ec)The problem with that argument is that you're putting ips at the bottom of a pecking order which is not supposed to exist here. That it does is largely due to the kind of remarks you've made above. You're saying that the article is very busy, so we'll exclude non-registered editors. We might let them back in again when things quieten down. You are saying that a registered user's voice is worth more than a non-registered user's. I think you ought to revisit the fundamentals on which WP was built, and on which, ostensibly, it still operates. 80.174.78.102 (talk) 21:14, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I simply said that it would probably be an easier path for you to do whatever you intend to do rather than going through an RPP. Speaking of fundamentals, perhaps you would be more convincing if the only other post in your history wasn't an insult hurled at someone in a Ban Appeal subcom board.  Specifically:


 * "*Good to see you reacting to the accusation of child-like demeanour with maturity. The last thing we'd want of our arbs to do in a situation like this is throw his rattle of the pram, or worse take his ball home in a sulk. 80.174.78.102 (talk) 23:07, 14 April 2013 (UTC)"


 * The internet is forever - it doesn't go away. So, were you banned or blocked or something?  What was it for?  Vilano XIV (talk) 23:25, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I stand by that remark 100%. Who suffered by the arb crying off in the way he did? Was it Faldrif, the person who insulted him, or was it Will Beback, whose case he was discussing? If an arb is going to walk away from a discussion every time he is insulted, then he had no right running for the position in the first place. But this is not the place to discuss that, nor is the place to discuss me. 80.174.78.102 (talk) 08:07, 17 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting comment.svg Note: I am with 80... here (the encyclopedia that everyone can edit,...); but as we are in the English-language wikipedia, and many of the editors are from the US, there is (almost always) a certain systemic bias at work, coupled here with emotional turmoil.

 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Unprotected OK.

 * I think brief full protection might make sense (perhaps 30 - 60 minutes), but only if the content warring starts up again. There's too much valid new information to reasonably protect for an extended period. The content warring seems to have stopped for the moment, though; the arrest confusion cleared up, and the users repeatedly inserting the victim's name seem to have stopped. – 2001:db8:: (rfc &#124; diff) 19:38, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * That's reasonable. I would suggest pre-emptive protection if there's a news conference, too, just to be safe. (Remember CNN and Obamacare.)  Ignatz mice•talk 19:46, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Support full protection, not just because of the Chinese national's name (which is becoming less and less important as the day goes on) but because of multiple editors confusing this article with a newspaper or liveblog. Full protection would require consensus before each change, which would have completely nullified the "was-there-an-arrest-or-not" silliness, for example. I suggest full protection for one day, and see how it goes.  Ignatz mice•talk 19:37, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Full protection for a day would likely wreck momentum on the article. That's an unfair penalty to the many editors who have been contributing, to deal with the very few who have been disruptive; it's not reasonable to make edit requests for every little thing when there are valid information updates happening frequently. – 2001:db8:: (rfc &#124; diff) 19:40, 17 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Strongly oppose - There's very little edit warring going on. I believe Ryan's referring to the issue of whether or not to include the third victim's name. There's hardly a consensus on that point, and despite the acrimony about it, there's no edit war that would necessitate full protection. This is a massive overreaction. It probably doesn't need to be reminded that an uninvolved admin needs to make the decision on this request. Shadowjams (talk) 19:44, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * After thinking about it a while, I think I would be against full protection just yet. There might be a need in the future for very short term full protection as 2001 has pointed out, but there are a few admin like myself there who are not editing the article and can act on this if needed.  We probably just need to patrol the article itself more forcefully.  I will still leave the final decision to an admin patrolling at RFPP, and of course, defer to their wisdom if they disagree.

Semi-protection: Since page creation in January 2011 I followed this article and tried to wikify it. It was cleaned up several times (many by other users) but each time it was filled of everything by anons in write-only. Each time was added content focussing on a "notable family" of the village, a long blp-list of black links, adding "strange" and unrelated references (last one, 2 weeks ago as for chrono, was an article of Wikipedia (!), Khan Sahib -a honor title during Indian British Empire-, that had a link to one of this "notables" using Khunda -the WP article- as ref (!)). Anyway, as for the article and after some controls at Google Maps, Khunda is a little village in Punjab, Pakistan, and this "notable family" lists (or BLP), all of not existant articles, sound like promo... or self-promo. Note: "notable family" of a village, not of a metropolis. In the way the article was created 2 years ago, it was IMHO created at this scope. IMHO, and i emphasize IMHO, it looks like a way to gaming the rules (example: "if biographies of some people are not notable for WP standards, it is easier to insert them all in the article of their home town/village, or create the article about the town itself, because articles on geographic locations are generally accepted by WP"). By the way, persistent anon vandalisms (16 in march), ignoring any warning and wikifications, some bad or completely unrelated refs added. Strangely, the only blue link related to a notable resident of Khunda (Malik Allahyar Khan) was deleted... IMHO a long semi-protection could be the only way to discourage this kind of vandalisms. --Dэя-Бøяg 23:38, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Oppose - This is an extreme overreaction and it has no policy basis. 3 days is as long as this article's existed, not to mention, the recent level of edits are hardly extreme; 15 inside of an hour... Very few knowledgeable editors have weighed in on this (it's the middle of the night in the U.S.). I see zero attempt to handle this in other ways too. Shadowjams (talk) 09:42, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Just to add on some evidence, look at the edit history from Gmaxwell's list here to the full protect... 1 intervening edit (not a problem one either). In fact I count 2, 3 at most, back and forths with the edits he wants to exclude. That calls for semiprotect (which it was) and warnings and blocks on those editors. Not full protect for 3 days. This is one of the most absurd RPP run arounds I've ever seen. Shadowjams (talk) 09:51, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I feel a very short full protection will help quash BLP violations, but 3 days is indeed too long. Unfortunately, most people in the US are asleep as you mentioned (I have the fortune of being a night owl and west-coaster), so better to err on the side of caution for now.

 * I'd be fine with a short full protection if that was necessary, but there's at most 6 edits between when the "name" issue broke and the full protection was implemented, and less editors. But this is something easily handled through proper channels, instead someone (apparently) new to the talk page ran off and found an admin (also apparently new to the article) to implement full protection with almost 0 discussion. This is getting ridiculous. Shadowjams (talk) 10:03, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This is an almost every day battle with IP's that are changing the format from the sourced type of Soap Opera. I have been watching this for days but just got involved today to the extent that I restored back to the last "good" edit as well as going back even farther and restoring sourced content that got deleted by one of the IP's to hide that they were going against sourcing. I also added a talk page note and an HTML note asking people not to change it without a talk page but I still feel that protection is needed in this case, at least temporarily. The IP editors that are changing this appear to be on dynamic IP addresses so the standard methods warning them off will probably be even less effective than hoping that they see an HTML note or bother to check the talk page. <font style="font-family:fantasy; font-size:12px;"> Cat-five t  c   00:29, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Although none of the PC documentation pages mentions namespace restrictions, viewing the namespace drop-down on Special:StablePages reveals that PC seems to be only available on "(article)" and "Wikipedia" leaving me no other option than to support a request for a temporary 3-day semi-protection of the user talk page as was originally proposed. I've explained to Miss Bono the unfortunate side-effect that no IP editors will be able to leave her messages there even if there is a genuine and legitimate message for her.  If this short term semi-protection was to be granted, I would be willing to help her set-up a sub-page for IPs to be able to leave her messages and/or a note in her edit-notice offering them some other agreeable method to communicate.

Unprotect, or downgrade to semi-protection. This redirect was originally fully-protected, given the fact that there were several unsourced BLPs that were written at this title back in 2010. However, as of now, there is a sourced article named Daneboe that exists, which represents the subject stated in the protected redirect.

Temporary Fully protected - if you think this is needed, after the article is reverted to its status quo version. The reason for this request (mainly the request for the revert to the status quo and the possible temporary protection if needed): repeated reverts, with no consensus on the recent changes (see the edit summaries on the history page).HOOTmag (talk) 10:17, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * This request is ridiculous - the only disagreement concerns one example sentence, which in fact doesn't belong in the article (it isn't an example of the phenomenon being described), but if HOOTmag still doesn't see that, then it can be put back with a "dubious" tag or something, until such time that it becomes clear to everyone that it isn't a valid example. Victor Yus (talk) 12:57, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Victor Yus's position is one of two positions. I have described the objective situation - that is: a disagreement between Victor Yus and HOOTmag. This shows that the temporary solution should be a revert to the status quo version, along with a possible temporary full protection if needed, until it becomes clear to everyone whether the example in the status quo version is valid. HOOTmag (talk) 20:16, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you object to anything other than the removal of that example sentence with "whose/whom"? If not, then just put that sentence back, I'll tag it as dubious, and we can get some other linguists to comment on the matter. There's no need to protect the whole article over one piece of trivia. (I've now added an alternative example in English that seems to work better; maybe that will resolve the matter.) Victor Yus (talk) 06:40, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Any example from the foreign languages should follow the examples from English, not vice versa. HOOTmag (talk) 08:21, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Normally yes, but in the "case" case, where the phenomenon is such a marginal one in English, and is so much more clearly and typically illustrated by foreign-language examples, I think the order should be reversed. If you don't mind, I think we should move this discussion to the article talk page. Victor Yus (talk) 09:42, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The position you have described here - is disputable - and contradicts the position reflected in the status quo version. In case of dispute, the status quo version should be preferred - with a possible temporary full protection - until an agreement is reached. HOOTmag (talk) 11:24, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. THere's only two of you warring. You can both take this as a warning to stop and use the talk page. Protection would be way over the top with only two people involved. Use that talk page, or be blocked. Ged  UK  11:45, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * "Protection would be way over the top with only two people involved". This reasoning is possible, that's why I requested a "possible" temporary protection if needed. However, how about my second request, .i.e. the revert to the status quo version? Your reasoning does not refer to my second request, and if the verdict does, then it has no reasoning - as far as my second request is concerned. HOOTmag (talk) 18:13, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I echo what GedUK said. Or, as only 2 of you are involved, get a third opinion. And this page is for requesting protection, and this was decided. Lectonar (talk) 07:34, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Indeed. If the article isn't protected, there's no point me rolling it back; it could be undone. Admin's opinions on content is not more valid than anyone else's. Rolling back would indicate a preference. Ged  UK  12:13, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * "Admin's opinions on content is not more valid than anyone else's. Rolling back indicate a preference". This reasoning refers to Admin's subjective opinions on "content" - which is realy a sort of subjective "preference". However, how about my original request, which does not refer to content - but rather to the status quo version, which has nothing to do with subjective preference - but rather has an objective status in every dispute? Your reasoning does not refer to my original request about rolling back to the status quo version, and if the verdict does, then it has no reasoning - as far as my original request (about rolling back to the status quo version) is concerned. HOOTmag (talk) 18:50, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * One of the fundamental principles in full protection is the idea of protecting on the wrong version, it might appease you but probably not the other party(ies). Rolling it back solves nothing; the fundamental disagreement between you would remain. I notice that you continue to argue here where it's pretty clear you're not getting anywhere, rather than start the discussion on the talk page where you might. That's the next step. Ged  UK  07:46, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * "One of the fundamental principles in full protection is the idea of protecting on the wrong version". This reasoning refers to the option of protecting the article. However, how about my second request, .i.e. rolling back to the status quo version - without protecting the article? Note that this (second) request has nothing to do with protecting the article, nor with "Admin's subjective preference on content" (because every status quo version has an objective status in every dispute). Conclusion: your reasoning does not refer to my second request.
 * "I notice that you continue to argue here where it's pretty clear you're not getting anywhere". No, the applicant is just trying to exhaust their full right to find out the reasoning behind the verdict - if any such reasoning exists. Please note that if the verdict refers to my second request (which has nothing to do with protecting the article), then the verdict has no reasoning - as far as my second request is concerned. HOOTmag (talk) 18:29, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * But that is exactly the point: everybody understands that you requested 2 things, the revert and the protection; on one point, protection, 2 admins have decided that protection is not to be applied. A "decision" concerning the revert does simply not occur. The reversion has been neither applied nor denied, as it is not within the scope of this page, which is not for requesting reversion, but protection. That you want to have reversion, and consider the non-reversion a "verdict", as you call it, is, imho, besides the point. Your behaviour is getting, frankly spoken, rather pointy, and smells of wikilawyering. Another advice: perhaps ask at the language help-desk, to get more eyes on this. This should be about cutting the knot, not process. Lectonar (talk) 18:47, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I reject your claim that my beaviour is getting pointy and smells of wikilawyering. As I have already pointed out, I'm just trying to find out the reasoning behind the decision. If you think I don't have the right to do that - just say I don't have it, but as long as I think I have it - I'm trying to exhaust it, and I don't think you should call me "pointy" nor "wikilawyering" - just because you disagree with me about whether I have the full right to try to find out the reasoning behind the decision.
 * As for your main claim: Ok, I got it: both of you haven't decided about my second request. However, please note that my responses referred to Ged UK's response, rather than to yours, which is another one.
 * Btw, I didn't figure out your comment about the language help desk.
 * Most important: if you really want to advise me - and I hope you do, then it would be most helpful to advise me about where I should ask about my second request. Note that this second request is not about content, but rather about procedure. The question is: May one roll back to a status quo version in case of dispute, or that may be considered an editwar?

Furthermore, the block only lasts for a month, and we have seen that this person has no problem waiting. Just protect the page please. Greg Bard (talk) 22:18, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Previous request was to change PC to semi-protect as at that time invalid additions were being accepted. PC has expired but the IP has continued adding same bogus info. There are fewer than 30 watchers of this page, I don't know how many are active editors. IP is possibly not English competent based on location and may not understand list inclusion rules, edit summaries that try to explain them or hidden notes about this. Range block to cover the range used would impact other IPs making good contributions as this is a mobile data IP range (range contributions). --Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:24, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection. IPs continuously add a particular film in the filmography that is not yet in production. Conventionally, we don't add films until they are in production. I keep reverting, usually with summaries, but it doesn't seem to take. This is not what I would call egregious vandalism (heh), but it's persistent. In addition, I can't keep reverting without violating policy myself. The core of the problem is that the O'Brien article has very few watchers (22) compared to many other actors. Therefore, no one else seems to be reverting besides me.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:56, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

A #1 Draft Pick in 2012 and setting a rookie record of 4,374 passing yards in the 2012 NFL season, this article requires semi-protection to promote the compliance on the biographies of the living person.

This is to promote the compliance with the policy on biographies of a living person. Iwata is currently the president of Nintendo.

Temporary semi-protection: IP repeatedly restoring content after consensus at Potential superpowers agreed to delete certain inconclusive material. Request Semi & Temporary PP to calm the situation. Antiochus the Great (talk) 21:55, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Temporary protection" requested. Repeated vandalism reporting on article abuse on Antiochus the Great for making unconstructive edits, deleting prior consenus on superpowers talks page that was discussed prior to. No where in the superpowers was there any new discussion by Antiochus the Great that he was going to add or take out information consisted with the superpowers page, no where. Antiochus the Great did not bring a discussion on questioning the article on the superpowers talks page, that would be the honorable thing to do, is start there but there is no history of user Antiochus the Great doing so. Antiochus the Great has repeatedly abused the superpowers page by assuming its under his control, history refects Antiochus the Great has done so without consensus on the talks page under superpowers. Antiochus the Great has began his article parade of chopping massive content out of the superpowers page on April 26, 2013‎ (‎ 38,409 bytes) (-2,231). Other users began to place back the original content and Antiochus the Great was on a campaign to replace back his. There is a bit of work in the consensus that has gone back since 2007 on constructing the superpowers page and really the article was in good standing with updated sources but if there is more updated sources, I suggest they be discussed on the superpowers talk page first before taking out important sources of information, many discussings were in talked about before making such change, this was not done overnight as Antiochus the Great has tried to do and I am against that, it should be under a serious discuss on people who have followed the rules that constructed this article. Antiochus the Great is really not doing that and I find that scary for the superpowers page. If you view the achieves of or any of the achieves under superpowers, user Antiochus the Great has never been in any said discussion with the superpowers dating back. I ask and wish to consensus the article than having Antiochus the Great abusing the article without taking out massive sources that give great details to make the article. The superpowers needs protection on the author above that made this report Antiochus the Great. If you look at the talks about on superpowers you'll find that I am bringing truthful information to this report on the article and on Antiochus the Great. If the article continues to be uncontructive by Antiochus the Great then a block on Antiochus the Great would be suggested to calm down the edit war he has started. Please fix the issue and see if the article can be on talks if there is any discussions on changing it. --103.22.129.238 (talk) 23:22, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting comment.svg Note: Actually, if at all, full protection should probably be applied. I urge both of you to seek a third opinion, but will leave the decision concerning protection to another admin. Lectonar (talk) 07:48, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Note, The agreed upon consensus by several editors at the Potential superpowers talk page acts as the third party in this situation. Part of the consensus was to delete inconclusive and conflicting material at the related Superpower article too. The IP refuses to adhere to the consensus by claiming that "there is no consensus" even after leaving a comment at the consensus discussion in protest! Additionally the IP appears to be well accustomed to the workings of Wikipedia and its policies/guidelines, therefore it is accurate to suggest the IP is deliberately being disruptive.Antiochus the Great (talk) 10:35, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Note There is no soncensus on superpower and per say on potential superpower was referring to only potential superpower not Antiochus the Great making false accusations. Antiochus the Great stating that others on the potential superpowers have agreed, using the words as "several editors" but clearly does not bring names forward to say who is saying they agreed but more so, this is two different articles, not one article controling the other. That's like saying "Dodge 8V engines" to "8V engines", doesn't mean you can interact the two together, the same applies here. Ip user Antiochus the Great is making these claims only a week of small discussions and has bluntly changed the articles himself, no discussion on the history of potential superpowers does it say from any user that to change the content in superpowers, nothing on it. No one said who or ask who on the potential superpowers is going to change the article nor is there anything in the potential superpowers. I make my report that Antiochus the Great making improper accusations on the content is he talking about and has not made the discussions on consensus under superpowers under talk. Antiochus the Great is not listed on any discussions ever, nothing under that name nor is there anything on superpowers that there is anything said about the article in question. I made my report to defend the original context and that unconstructive edits have been done so by ip user Antiochus the Great. Please lock the article and allow for open consensus on talk's page under superpowers only.--103.22.129.134 (talk) 11:23, 30 April 2013 (UTC)


 * The editing of superpower and potential superpower articles go hand-in-hand. Consensus was reached by several editors after a lengthy discussion and analysis of references on the Talk:potential superpower page. Please can administrators et al. read that talk page. It is a particularly academic subject and it seems some are getting confused about the terminology re: super v. great v. emerging powers. And there's also the usual nationalist POV pushing, now (surprise surprise) by an annon. IP editor... David (talk) 11:29, 30 April 2013 (UTC)


 * David again your referring to a different article on the consensus, quite frankly doesn't mention changing the content under superpowers from potential superpowers consensus. If your going to question an article or change it, doesn't logic tell you, you start with the article original talk's page. I mean really, to go back and forth and say this and that then come over here and change what said over there? That violates the common intend of each article if everybody did that. I could go over to "US Marines talks page" for example and had a discussion about the "US Army" and consensus about them under the "Marine's talk's page" then a 4 days later I came over and changed everything on the "US Army article" claiming people were talking about it under the "US Marines talks page". Get my point? You would upset people on both articles. The adminstrators have to view this article on it's own merit that's what it says to discuss each topic under each specific article. Read the superpowers talks page and see any recent discussion consensing about removing content? The last discussion was on March 13th, 2013 and that was nothing to do with the content removed this week by user Antiochus the Great who does not have a single entry of any discussions at all under superpowers talks page for consensus Antiochus the Great. See and read the dates under superpowers talks pages. The superpowers article was bluntly changed without a single consensus to the article's original talk's page and to view the change to say, well we had a discussion under the potential superpowers page and that's that's. If you've noticed, I started a discussion on consensus about unconstructive edits by ip user Antiochus the Great and started a topic "article need of consensus" under superpowers talk. If the consensus originally started under superpowers then I think this report would be a different turn out but the fact of the matter a different article interfearing their consensus on another article, is a voilation of Wikipedia's edit policies.--103.22.129.134 (talk) 12:57, 30 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not going to bother arguing about this any more as you're not going to stand down and the facts are laid before the outside world. The changes to the superpower article reflect the changes to the potential superpower article. It's that simple. It's like changes to the apple article would then need to be reflected in the fruit article.


 * Stop waging war and wasting everyone's time. You won't be wasting any more of mine. David (talk) 13:10, 30 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I will now add that this anon. IP editor is even using threatening behaviour, as seen on Talk:Superpower (the usual lame "I am watching you" dribble). Clearly a troll. David (talk) 13:23, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
