America's Got Talent-related articles and template
Temporary semi-protection: High level of vandalism from IP/unconfirmed users. The vandalism mainly takes the form of a delusion about this U.S. NBC program originating from Singapore, and specifically in Season 3, about a different performer winning the contest (contradicted by NBC's website). Note that seasons 7-9 haven't received this type of vandalism, but I figure they should be included just in case. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 16:16, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I have semiprotected the main article, plus season 1-6 and the template. I want to wait with seasons 7-9 until something happens, but I have them on my watchlist so hopefully I'll spot it before someone have to request it here.

Semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism and IP biased editing – Various forms; for example various IPs consistently removed movie from fantasy genre (presumably influenced by their religious beliefs), no reason ever given. Has occurred numerous times. As well as other forms of persistent IP vandalism such as today; changing a statement of National Media council in UAE from "so we will not release it in the UAE" to "so we are too butthurt to release it in the UAE" etc. Due to religious nature of article, I believe a non-temporary semi-protection would be appropriate, regardless it needs some level of semi-protection.

 * Good evening.
 * As much as I'm against censorship - I'm begging you to put some kind of protection to this page. It's being again and again vandalized by both unregistered members and "real" contributors. Wikipedia is NOT the right place for slander, spreading of unproven/untrue information and personal opinions!

Temporary semi-page protection: Persistent vandalism - Certain IP users changing information without giving a specific reason. Warned two users in their user talk pages for vandalism. One couldn't find an article here on why abbreviations aren't allowed in Wikipedia articles. King Shadeed (talk) 12:27, February 28, 2015 (UTC)

FYI, shadeed and others, there's a problem with your request and muzik's action:

1. It is not "vandalism" to edit silly, cluttered abbreviations out of something (which I [new IP address] am not the only person who thinks are silly--ViberSnake thinks someone at One Magnificent Morning has a fixation for them) and then modify some of the next references to make sense after the silly abbreviation is gone.

2. You made your revisions without explanation too, so for you to complain that someone else wasn't explaining is being hypocritical.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The page has been the subject of countless vandalism over the years since this article has been created, especially the vandalism by a user and its socks blatantly adding 5SOS members to the infobox. As the Spice Girls are an all-female pop group, it wouldn't make sense to add a member of an all-male group into the infobox. The page has been protected 3 times, and its last protection period expired around 2 weeks ago, and so an indefinite protection would be recommended.

 * Why do not you go to the talk page and try to sort it out there without protection? This is a high-traffic page right now, already semi-protected, and it is not really desirable to fully protect it now. Additionally, if it gets fully protected for 12h or for 24h, after the full protection expires, the article gets not protected at all, with obvious consequences you can imagine. I do not see any BLP violations in the article, and it means the content dispute can be resolved without blocks and protections.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:53, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Article has been persistently targeted by single purpose accounts for months. Every few months new accounts pop up and "whitewash" the article, removing all negative commentary. The article has done the rounds at Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive833, Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard/Archive_73 and Sockpuppet investigations/LevilRowe/Archive. It all basically comes back to same thing though: new accounts removing all negative (and sourced commentary). It would be best to keep newly registered accounts permanently off the article.

This is done because protecting a user's talk page prevents IP editors from contacting users.

Topic: GamerGate NPOV issues still extremely apparent in unreliable sources

The article still has an issue with its neutral point of view. As far as I can tell, all the sources currently used are anti-GamerGate, and they mainly equate the "GamerGate movement" to the people who are anti-feminism and harassing women in gaming. True enough, that's part of it, but the reason it's a controversy is because there are more parties involved. This is clearly evident from looking at the sheer number of people involved. Though sites considered reliable sources do not comment much about it, assuming the reason is that they have no well-known representatives and are essentially part of a misogynistic movement. A movement with no limitations to enter. Supporting #GamerGate is damning yourself in the public eye, regardless of your actual opinions.

It's easier to report on well-known individuals amidst the controversy who speak their mind in interviews - true or not.

The media doesn't report on speculation in tweets from anonymous sources, even if so-called proof is being put forward in form of email correspondence, tweets and statements from verified individuals, or pointing out contradictions and bias. It's not interesting to the general public without celebrities being part of it. And coming forward as a proponent of the GamerGate movement, even if they clearly denounce the blatant harassment involved in the hashtag, is bound to get hit with harassment from the anti-GG movement, as is also evident when looking at twitter and other so-called unreliable sources. Yet, the media has no qualms in pointing to tweets as their primary source for the harassment they describe. The statements about Phil Fish are deemed noteworthy because it is posted by a reliable source, but the source of that source is again twitter.

Well-known names in game development and game criticism have spoken for the GG movement, saying that it's more nuanced. These names also get harassed, but they are ignored in favour of the GamerGate harassers because they are not harassed for the right reasons. Many anonymous tweeters/forumgoers, whom consider themselves neutrals or pro-GG, are advocating better standards in journalism, less nepotism and more transparency, as well as criticising the way involved parties are treated. These are simply ignored in favour of RS reporting the same stuff, and in the same communities it is suspected that editors deliberately avoid truth behind Wikipedia's "Verifiability, not truth" clause, because they share the collective opinion of the reporting media. The various media are using the very same tweets as we can see, as well as interviews with the involved parties on the anti-side. There are no other sources. Writing controversial pieces using the word and tweets of someone high-profile is both more interesting and safer than making an actual report based on anonymous tweeters.

I think the biggest problem with this article is that it does not clarify that the whole controversy is part of a hashtag movement. A movement with no clear goal. The whole article focuses on two sides: GamerGaters and people who are against GamerGaters. There are more sides, but they are not represented. I will try to show this logical fallacy with an example.


 * *GamerGater A provides proof of nepotism in gaming journalism.*
 * *GamerGater B criticises an individual.*
 * *GamerGater C sends a public death threat to Target A.*
 * * Unknown A sends a private death threat to Target B, who in turn publicizes it by their word of mouth*
 * *SJW A and B claims GamerGater A, B, C and Unknown A all share the same opinion and are all GamerGaters.*
 * *GamerGater D and SJW C claim all SJW share the same opinion.*
 * There are evidently only two sides here, because names.

Here is some data, conveniently going to be ignored because it's not reliable, which suggests that there are more than two sides. Even if the text presents a fair study that is reproducible, the reputation of a source trumps everything on Wikipedia. A "reliable source" would be nice, but it simply does not currently exist.

In order to reach a more neutral point of view, editors need to use the sources they have based on common sense. Why are interviews and tweets by verified YouTube accounts with verifiable voices not reliable? Sure, they represent that individual's opinion, but so do the media in interviewing the affected people. There are interviews with well-known people like John 'TotalBiscuit' Bain, Adam Baldwin and actual GamerGaters, just from a quick search. They back up their opinions on factual observations of statements, experience in the industry and pointing out publicly available information from the actual sources, as the media otherwise does, and represent some of the views of the non-harassing GamerGaters. The only difference is that it's not beefy enough for the typical reliable sources. And that's just it: the media is reporting an obvious, self-verifiable bias based on selective tweets and interviews with those people representing the harassed, yet twitter posts and interviews by verified individuals are not being accepted as a source for anything. Not even their own views, as a neutral or GamerGate supporter.

The most important part to note about GamerGate is that it needs to be defined as an amorphous movement with several sides to it. There are harassers, but there are also people who denounce harassment. There are people talking about nepotism. There are people posting about contradictions and bias in articles and statements. There are well-known names criticising the behaviour of people and organizations in the gaming industry. The article tries to some extent, naming #NotYourShield, but ultimately GamerGaters are all deliberately being condensed into one group - to push the agenda that GamerGate is a unified, volatile group of anonymous harassers. #NotYourShield is being blown off as originating from 4chan, which is true, but ignoring the fact that the intent was always to use it as a legitimate tag: ACTUAL source for all subsequent claims (READ IT). The possibility that it is also being used in illegitimate ways to some extent isn't out of the question, but the intent was never that, and it has been proven several times to be used in legitimate ways.

Also, keep this in mind: Verifiable but not false. -- 2A00:7240:6040:4700:557F:6F4B:42A:1C76 (talk) 18:13, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

 * I know the talkpage is semi-protected (why Nakon missed it, I don't know) so you couldn't post there but the point of this section is to request specific edits be made when the talkpage isn't open to IP editors and the article is also protected, nothing more. If you just wanted to discuss content among other editors of the article then you might be out of luck, this isn't an alternate talkpage for content discussion and you'd be reaching entirely the wrong audience besides, most who edit won't see it and those who will won't be editing the article or aware of the issues most likely. I'm going to collapse your request because it's not related to this part of the wiki. It's not to do with what's being said or limiting visibility, just the length and being off-topic are the issues. tutterMouse (talk) 09:37, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok. That's noted. I think what I wrote is important for the focus of the article and not off topic at all, if that's what you meant, as the current RS media is portraying only a selective side of the story. This has been heavily manipulated by editors to create an article that heavily argues for that side of the story, and is in no way impartial to the events that are happening. If that fact can't be brought to light in an ongoing happening then perhaps the article in question should be deleted or hidden until events play out further, as many people come to Wikipedia to quickly learn about such subjects and will leave heavily biased when not being told that there are more sides to the story, even if specifics can't be sourced to RS at the moment. In turn, this leads to more of the same kind of journalism.
 * If you simply meant that I am off topic for this article, then I am sorry. That said, it's a shame that all articles even remotely related to this event has been locked down. There should be a review system (like this one) in place for these situations. I understand that this won't be cross posted, as such, there's not much to discuss here and this may just be archived. -- 2A00:7240:6040:4700:557F:6F4B:42A:1C76 (talk) 10:05, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Four user talk pages
Redirect to userpages. These folks have been banned by the WMF, but their userpages and usertalkpages have both been tagged with WMF-legal banned user, so Category:Wikipedians banned by the WMF has ten entries even though there are just six people who fall into this category. It would be simpler if these four user talk pages were redirected to their userpages, or vice versa. Nyttend (talk) 04:51, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Not really, because then Amorrow wouldn't be categorised at all. Imagine that WMF bans someone else in a few months, long after this request is forgotten.  The person doing the tagging might tag the talk page and not the userpage (especially if there's no userpage in the first place), and unlike Amorrow, who's been in it for a good while now (and would get found by an archive.org search), that person wouldn't ever appear in the category.

 * Trut-h-urts_man: Is there a policy, or anything else, you can cite to show consensus on this? If not, I'm leaning towards not protecting the page (unless some other admin is more familiar with this)... as I'm not grasping how the trade is unofficial when there are RSs claiming otherwise. <small style="color:#999;white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:lightgrey 0.3em 0.3em 0.15em;">&mdash; <big style="color:#ffa439">Coffee //  have a cup  //  beans  // 20:59, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * All sports trades are unofficial until several things happen, including but not limited to the passing of physicals and official confirmation from the teams involved and/or the league. The sources out now regarding this trade use terms like "reportedly" and "agreed", and cite unnamed sources "close to the trade" which are all unofficial. WP:SPORTSTRANS does a better job explaining this than I do. Trut-h-urts man  (T • C) 21:07, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Trut-h-urts_man: The NFL is now reporting that the trade is being finalized as well. Considering the article has been edited by an auto-confirmed user with this information, a semi-protection wouldn't seem to solve this.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Talk page history shows that IPs have frequently been making bad faith edits, repeatedly going so far as to fabricate evidence and references, though hardly always stooping quite that low. Recent edits have been reprehensible - editing quotes so that they are no longer accurate, deleting references based merely on, in one case, ad hominem (and counterfactual, at that!) attacks on the author of the reference. Spurious tagging of facts that are already cite-supported, in preparation (based on past behavior) for removing such facts. . Elvey(t•c) 07:04, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Jetstreamer $Talk$ 18:51, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I concur and recommend at least 1-2 weeks but not months. I also recommend that you protect it to my version because I constantly discuss and modify to please other editors while some editors (like Betty Logan) basically only reverts. If my version is protected, he/she will be forced to discuss and compromise rather that just remove my edits. I am sorry that he/she acts this way.Wowee Zowee public (talk) 19:05, 11 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose edit protection. This isn't a content dispute, it is just a single editor acting unilaterally against the consensus on the talk page (see Talk:The_Sound_of_Music_(film)). The more appropriate venue for dealing this kind of disruption is ANI where a case has been filed. Betty Logan (talk) 19:16, 11 March 2015 (UTC)


 * This is an absurd request. Article protection is to promote discussion on the talk page and there already is an ongoing discussion on the talk page for the article.

 * The above user _dk (talk) is deleting sourced historical references to the official title of Emperor Cao Cao.  His official title is "Emperor Wu of Wei" of the Kingdom of Cao Wei. That is an indisputable historical fact that  _dk (talk) keeps trying to distort. Thanks! 103.27.220.71 (talk) 00:59, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Dk isn't distorting history in any way. Cao Cao never ruled as an emperor throughout his life. The title 'Emperor Wu of Wei' was given to him posthumously, and is already included in the section for posthumous names and titles in the infobox. The IP user keeps insisting on including a line about how "[Cao Cao] is often portrayed by modern day movies and T.V. shows in both the communist People's Republic of China (PRC) and the democratic Republic of China (Taiwan) as a cruel and merciless tyrant". The references to the PRC and Taiwan are of little relevance to the article, and the fact that the IP user uses terms such as "communist" and "democratic" seems to convey an intention to politicise the article. Besides, not all films and television series to date have depicted Cao Cao as a "cruel and merciless tyrant". Cao Cao (TV series), for example, attempts to portray Cao Cao in a more historically accurate manner.   LDS  contact me 08:36, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

(Readers of newspapers may suspect that this BLP violating vandalism is payback for Nuland's public criticism of the Putin regime in Russia and for her support of Ukraine, since she has been more vocal lately.).

 * It was protected due to one IP edit sure but it was from a highly prolific vandal/troll who was doing a lot of damage and this was long before the template editor right existed.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Thanks for the 2-day protection, but can we please make it indefinite? Also, the RPP page should be archived normally like other pages. No? Talk page history shows that IPs have frequently been making bad faith edits, repeatedly going so far as to fabricate evidence and references, though hardly always stooping quite that low. Recent edits have been reprehensible - editing quotes so that they are no longer accurate, deleting references based merely on, in one case, ad hominem (and counterfactual, at that!) attacks on the author of the reference. Spurious tagging of facts that are already cite-supported, in preparation (based on past behavior) for removing such facts. . Elvey(t•c) 20:00, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
 * There's also a pattern of deleting references and then coming back weeks later to delete the (now-unreferenced) content. I just restored such content and such references.  And I am under ad hominem attack on the talk page.--Elvey(t•c) 22:44, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Long-term or indef semi. A couple IPs are making apparently well meaning edits that are largely gibberish, nonsense, off-topic, or break the formatting.  There is some attempt at adding refs, but they either aren't actually references, or don't support the edits (except one, from 1931, which might support a claim that the people "are no longer unreached", which is irrelevant for today).

Four user talk pages
Redirect to userpages. These folks have been banned by the WMF, but their userpages and usertalkpages have both been tagged with WMF-legal banned user, so Category:Wikipedians banned by the WMF has ten entries even though there are just six people who fall into this category. It would be simpler if these four user talk pages were redirected to their userpages, or vice versa. Nyttend (talk) 04:51, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Not really, because then Amorrow wouldn't be categorised at all. Imagine that WMF bans someone else in a few months, long after this request is forgotten.  The person doing the tagging might tag the talk page and not the userpage (especially if there's no userpage in the first place), and unlike Amorrow, who's been in it for a good while now (and would get found by an archive.org search), that person wouldn't ever appear in the category.  Nyttend (talk) 07:14, 8 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Per this discussion (that I just restored from, and the request on User talk:Amorrow it would be easier to simply change User:Amorrow to appropriately use WMF-legal banned user and then, per , "update the template so that this category is only included when the template is on the user's page". This would satisfy my request on the talk page (which was originally made so I could do just what Nakon proposes), 's request to have those people listed only once, and Nakon's idea of adjusting the template.

Unprotection: User:CambridgeBayWeather, there was only one editor making a wholesale revert back to an older version. The other editor self-reverted. I just noticed the editor was warned for the wholesale revert by admin User:Mr. Stradivarius. I think it was a bit hasty for the protection since it was only one revert by one editor. There was not enough edit warring for full protection IMO. I don't think the same editor will revert back to an older version after being warning because the same editor accepted that it was not completely necessary to perform a wholesale revert. 3 months protection is way too long. The last protection was for 3 months. That is a total of 6 months for a page where there is currently active research in the field. At least reduce the duration of the protection to a week. There are several sources being considered to improve the page. QuackGuru ( talk ) 16:55, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

I support full protection and oppose any reduction in protection level. The irony is that QuackGuru was the only user to request the last reduction in protection level and then almost immediately went and tried to force through large-scale changes without consensus by making 17 edits in 2 hours, including one vast 9k edit. My wholsesale revert of these edits was considered unnecessary by an admin which is the warning that QuackGuru refers to.Levelledout (talk) 17:36, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Levelledout also supports an indef block of me. This was unproductive for Levelledout to suggest I should be indeffed. Most of Levelledout contributions to Wikipedia are just the e-cig pages. Levelledout clearly wrote "Whilst I didn't consider it edit-warring I do accept that it was not completely necessary to perform a wholesale revert."

 * Pictogram voting delete.svg Not done - it's protection doesn't last very much longer, and there's absolutely nothing urgent about unprotecting it. Once unprotected, please ensure that you've achieved consensus for any changes you make to the page given how controversial it's been. Kevin Gorman (talk) 18:35, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * User:Kevin Gorman, are you sure the protection won't last very much longer? The protection expires on expires 08:43, 18 June 2015. That is another 3 months. That is a total of 6 months. I think it is unreasonable to protect the page for this length of time. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 19:07, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Someone pointed out that I misread the date on the protection. I've shortened it significantly, although I'll be patrolling the page post-protection looking to ensure disruption is minimized.  I did leave it at ten days: given the scope of disruption that page has seen, I don't think anyone will be harmed by spending ten days to work out issues on talk and have some consensus changes to put in place before it fades. Editconflicted with QG, but he is in fact the person who pointed it out to me privately anyway. Kevin Gorman (talk) 19:10, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I would support a longer-term protection of several months given all the problems we've had at this article and endless related ANI threads. It's clear just from the short amount of time that the page was last unprotected that we have not yet reached a point where editors do not routinely try and force through large-scale changes without discussing them. I appreciate that it is possible for an admin to patrol a page, but it may be difficult / time-consuming to patrol for months on end and the problems at these articles are long-term ones.Levelledout (talk) 20:20, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, please maintain full protection of this article. Personally I think it needs substantial changes including a complete rewrite from scratch of the lede, and I think the current version is a problem but it's much less of a problem than open season would be.— S Marshall  T/C 23:52, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Chitrali
Indefinite semi. Ongoing dispute over whether "Khowar" or "Chitrali" is the preferred name, with IPs repeatedly creating duplicate articles, or making copy-paste moves. ("Chitrali" just means "of Chitral", which is ethnically and linguistically diverse, so we've been using the more precise term "Khowar", which is used by ISO and other sources. But we would certainly consider moving the articles if a proper argument were made.)

 * Agreed there is aggressive POV editing going on, but by the requestor Jytdog, not me. (For example, Jytdog requested this page protection after restoring content I'd reverted [the Blaskwiwicz newsletter ref] which contains inherently defamatory unsubstantiated claims of wrong-doing by the Burzynski Clinic, and [according to the article Talk] "This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous." [And I have redone the revert on that basis.] This issue belongs rather at WP:BLPN. The effort here to clamp down to retain on BLP-violating material via page protection, compounds the issues involved, and not in a good way.) IHTS (talk) 19:14, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection (again). Page was protected (at my request) for a period of ten days earlier this month owing to the continued introduction of deliberate factual errors by an IP. This has continued following the expiration of the initial page protection period, so a longer period (possibly three months, so it expires just before the qualifier for the tournament in July) is unfortunately necessary.

Indefinite Semi-Protection: Persistent vandalism. This concerns a recent barrage of edits of an unsourced/contrary-to-source nature by IP editor. These edits mostly pertain to the infobox, where the IP insists on inserting nonsensical GDP data cited (but unsourced) as "Department of Defence" but contrary to existing BEA source. This includes full-year 2015 projections, when Q1 2015 data hasn't even been published.

Another registered editor has already noticed these edits, and attempted to intervene but with no success. It's safe to say the IP (located in the U.K.) won't stop until the article is semi-protected. Thanks. Nononsenseplease (talk) 01:24, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Lower to semi-protection: I don't think the vandalism from IP's warrants for infinite template-protection. This will prevent good-faith edits. Template protection should be applied only after semi-protection has clearly turned out to be insufficient. I have already talked to the sysop who protected the template. --Pxos (talk) 04:26, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

I do not want that. The original request was for semi-protection, which is sufficient considering the page history and that it is not a highly visible template. If the policy pages are not fully protected, why should this template be (almost) fully protected. --Pxos (talk) 05:13, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
