Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Within the past few days, multiple unregistered users based in Vietnam have been posting poorly-worded and poorly-sourced edits to this article. It's especially troublesome given that this is a featured article, and these sorts of edits, if allowed to continue, could jeopardize its featured status. The Disneyland Railroad reopened last weekend after a long hiatus, which may explain the sudden, higher-than-normal amount of attention being paid to its Wikipedia article. Semi-protection for a few weeks should be sufficient to stop the sudden spike in disruptive edits to this article, in my opinion. On a related note, this article was given pending changes protection for two weeks last June for the same reason. Jackdude101 (Talk) 02:05, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Extended confirmed protection: Due to the findings by the NCAA investigation, the University of Louisville men's basketball team is expected to vacate multiple victories, which will have an overall impact on their records and the appearances in post-season tournaments. However, the vacation has not been applied yet. Still, there are multiple instances of editors jumping the gun on the changes to this page. Many of those edits are from IP addresses, instead of registered users, so I suspect that locking the page in this manner will help to alleviate some concerns. Currently, UofL has an appeal in play, so it is not entirely clear as to how much time will elapse before the matter is finalized.

Declined This is not vandalism, it is a form of content dispute. The material they keep adding is sourced and appears encyclopedic, it just doesn't belong in the lede.

MelanieN (talk) 23:46, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Move protection: Given the unusual circumstances under which the 2028 games were awarded to LA, we need to discuss how to handle the article on the 2024 bid, which became the 2028 award. Despite an ongoing discussion, two editors who have never edited the article before, and who did not engage in the discussion have come along an moved the article to "Los Angeles bid for the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics" with no discussion, much less consensus. The title inaccurately presents what LA and the IOC did, and the best handling of the article needs full discussion. A short move protection will allow the discussion to move forward without another editor coming along and making an arbitrary move without consensus. ----Dr.Margi✉ 22:22, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm a bit displeased by DrMargi's framing of the situation. If she had to undo both me AND another editor, it's likely that there's not consensus for her title, and that she may be verging on POV pushing. pbp 00:42, 2 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Interesting, given you barged in, ignored the prior revert (which noted no discussion and a talk page) as well as the discussion on the talk page and moved the article again. Two moves does not equate with consensus; I restored the article to WP:STATUSQUO in the absence of consensus for any change to the standing title. ----Dr.Margi✉ 01:05, 2 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There are no sources stating that Overton is the "17th oldest person in the United States" or the "77th oldest recorded man", there are merely links to other Wikipedia articles. Even if this was not a BLP violation (which I believe it is) previous consensus reached [[[Talk:Misao_Okawa#Unnecessary Milestones!|here]] with regard to such information in Longevity biographies requires that the information have a RS which specifically state such rankings (a link to an off-Wiki list being insufficient).

@DerbyCountyinNZ: You really should have provided that material directly to the IP. Sometimes, IP editors do not find their way to the talk page. Also note that as of 2014, longevity is no longer under DS. This seems to not have made its way into all documents. I'm taking it up with arbs now.

Indefinite Semi-protection: Important article, of high quality. Persistent disruptive editing ever since article creation in 2011. For at least the last 3 years, about half of all changes have been simply reverted, often by CluebotNG. Vandalised in childish ways, sometimes sneaked in as "fixed typo". Often a bot-fooling change of one or two figures in a date. Seems likely to be by school students who have to write about Barton as Australia's first Prime Minister; if so, warnings seem likely to suffice. Some vandals have been blocked, but others (or the same by other names) continue unabated. Was semi-protected on 30 May 2017 by User:Ad Orientem: not clear why protection was removed on 4 June 2017 by Musikbot. Wikiain (talk) 02:24, 7 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Note - Doniago is involved in the ongoing talkpage dispute and is seeking protection to enforce his preferred edit. No policy-based argument has been presented to demonstrate that my edits are incorrect. I am the only IP involved and, as I have disclosed on the talkpage, I have no power over my IP address being automatically changed. I am also editing in good faith according to an established Wikipedia guideline. 79.72.143.90 (talk) 17:00, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Edit 2: I've left a note on Sandstein's talk page here. Hopefully he will consider lifting these restrictions so you can downgrade the protection level. DrStrausstalk 21:19, 8 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The problem this protection was intended to solve is that multiple experienced editors were merrily editing and warring over the article, basically ignoring the restriction. AE didn't - and doesn't - have enough manpower to babysit the article, so full protection was the only alternative. ECP does nothing to solve that problem. T. Canens (talk) 18:40, 9 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
In any event, you wrote on Sandstein's talk page that you want to "add sourced, neutral content". That means it's by definition not minor, and so the restriction - which Sandstein declined to alter - means that you have to first obtain consensus on the talk page regardless of the protection. Given that, the extra burden of ((editprotected)) is minimal. T. Canens (talk) 18:50, 9 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Timotheus Canens: so you would be okay with me making edits in a sandbox version and having an administrator copy them across? DrStrausstalk 20:06, 9 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Since August 4th, a stream of IP hoppers have been changing the subject's birthplace to Indonesia.

@Samsara: Egads, you're right, I can't seem to dig up any information on that either. The only thing found from googling is that his father was born in the place, and that this wiki-warring problem stretches all the way back to 2013 at least. His article in the Malay wikipedia shows Bagan Datoh, Perak, but similarly without any source, though recently a similar edit changing his birthplace from Malaysia to Indonesia got the editor banned for vandalism, though I'm not sure how much weight that carries on the English wikipedia. Just googling his name turns up "Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia", but no idea where Google is getting that information from though.
I don't know if there's a precedent for it, but is it possible to leave out his birthplace and just keep the birthday in the "born" section of the info box, until all this gets sorted out in the Talkpage? Can't think of a better idea at the moment. Zhanzhao (talk) 08:29, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Samsara: Hello! If you must know, I'll write the content problem below. But as you were told in ANI, last time you got engaged with this malicious person, of the dishonorable cause, no action arise. This sock is here to disrupt and hinder; one should not even consider he might be right. (And I tell you in all these years, he was never.) Deny recognition.
Extended content
what I deleted (and the sock is reverting) is synthesis of published material, to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources. One reviewer observed one single instance in which a shared component was not automatically removed. Does it happen always or was it just in that particular case? We don't know. And yet the article goes on to say "Norton 2008 and previous versions include a separate LiveUpdate component, which must be separately uninstalled, or removed using the Norton Removal Tool." Where is "and previous versions" in the source? Where is "or removed using the Norton Removal Tool"?
The section you removed was improved to its current form in February 2009 in response to queries for better sourcing. As far as I'm aware, that improved section has not been questioned during the entire time that people were able to directly verify it. Potential references were bound to disappear in the almost ten years since that version of the product was released, so you'd probably be hard pushed to actually substantiate that your unreferenced POV is correct. You say, "in all these years, he was never [right]", and mention the previous incident, in which the person disagreeing with you turned out to be right.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry—three new IPs ([20], [21], [22]) resumed edit warring almost immediately after the most recent page protection expired; article has been targeted numerous times by serial indeffed sockpuppeteer Oneshotofwhiskey, who appears to be personally obsessed with D'Souza (see the archive for more details), using inummerable IPs (here's a small sample: [23], [24], [25],
[26]). That these IPs are all being operated by Oneshotofwhiskey has been established by previous SPIs and is evident from the way they repeat Oneshot's arguments (cf. here and here) and continually reinsert the same contentious WP:BLP vios about D'Souza's "Marriage scandal" and "convicted felon" status: See, e.g., here, here,
here, and here. Admin DoRD, who has previously dealt with Oneshot's antics, recently expressed the view that "It's become clear that blocking the IP socks isn't effective."TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 12:23, 13 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
This is really one editor's personal assessment of the recent editing and reflect his longstanding personal battles including mutual sockpuppet warring with a single editor with whom he appears to have some content disagreements. The recent IP edits are not vandalism, they're content that OP dislikes. I suggest that the proper path to adjudicate and resolve the accusations he makes here would first be at SPI.

Indefinite semi-protection: Allow only old users to edit. Disruptive IP editing, including removal of reliable sources and suspected sock-puppetry. One of the users has only a few dozen edits and is making mud-slinging remarks and is suspiciously switching between IPs. Based on the location and editing history, I suspect this is the same IP that edit warred across multiple pages in this topic area and continuous to message the same user for help. These articles are also frequently disrupted by newcomers unfamiliar with Wikipedia's sourcing policy and frequently insert original research into them. They are better off protected from newcomers and IPs. I was advised that page protection is the best option to request, but I think semi-protection from IPs and newly registered users is the best solution for now. I was also advised to file an SPI based on the current evidence and previous IPs in this same area of edit warring and pinging the same user(s) for help, but I will pursue that later on when I have more time.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 05:09, 12 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Permanent semi-protection:
Once again, IP addresses with no edits other than that page, are adding in what a number of registered user have reverted in the past, and what most registered users talking about this on the talk page in the past have stated that this YouTube guy is not a reliable source for this article. Since the edits and arguments by all of these IP addresses are always the same, it is clearly the banned editor Okip yet again. The last time the page was protected was on 5 March 2017, for an IP address editing in this same information. [41] It has been protected previously over the years. Since no IP address has ever done anything but vandalism and is likely the same determined editor, can the page just be permanently protected against IP addresses from editing it?

Temporary Semi-protection: Request by Siva Vaidhyanathan. Sheldon Rampton (talk) 16:08, 14 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I just protected the Siva Vaidhyanathan page on Wikipedia. I am friends on Facebook with Professor Vaidhyanathan, who wrote an editorial that was published today in the New York Times about the Nazi violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he teaches. He asked on Facebook that someone "lock" his page since he thinks there is a strong possibility his editorial will attract harassment including possible vandalism of his page. I protected the page for one day but would like guidance from someone who is a more active administrator than me. I have been a Wikipedia administrator since around 2004, but I have not actually been very active as an editor or administrator for several years now, so I'm not conversant with current policies and procedures for things such as protecting pages. I'd appreciate any advice, and apologies in advance if I did it wrong. I thought this was a case where it was best to put some kind of protection in place quickly and then work out the details later. Here is the link to Professor Vaidhyanathan's editorial:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/14/opinion/why-the-nazis-came-to-charlottesville.html
@Sheldon Rampton: Hello! I understand the concern, but the policy is clear on that both semi-protection and pending changes should not be used as a preemptive measure (from Wikipedia:Protection policy#Guidance for administrators). I have added the page to my watchlist to monitor any potential disruptive edits though. Regards, Alex ShihTalk 16:22, 14 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Alex Shih: Thanks for the prompt response and for putting the page on your watchlist. I have not removed the protection that I put in place. As I indicated previously, I haven't been an active editor on WIkipedia lately and am not familiar with the nuances of how the process works, so I'm not sure that I would do the removal correctly. If other admins such as yourself feel the best course of action is to remove the protection now, I'll defer to others' judgment in whatever actions you choose to take. Otherwise, I think it will expire in 24 hours anyway. --Sheldon Rampton (talk) 16:36, 14 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Question:@Jd22292: There seems to be conflict stemming from, It was later re-released with updated special effects and a different story as 2001 Yonggary on January 20, 2001 which had a longer running time of 95 minutes. I noticed particularly the phrase, different story. It occurred to me that if the story is different, a separate article might be merited, similar to how we treat Power Rangers and its source material separately (but do not in the case of simpler re-releases such as re-releases with updated special effects of the original Star Wars trilogy).

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The article certainly has been subject to disruptive editing, but not at the rate that I think semi-protection is justified. There also seems to be legitimate edits made to the article by anonymous users; semi-protecting the article would shut them out from being able to improve it. Hence, I'm going with pending changes protection instead. ~Oshwah~(talk)(contribs) 05:05, 17 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Alt-left(edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)user:Mark Miller has been flagrantly edit warring this page since it's creation. There have been four sections on the talk page alone by four unrelated editors asking him to stop. Additionally, user:Mark Miller removed well-sourced uncontroversial, non-BLP violating content seven separate times (7rr). After he was reported for edit-warring, the page was locked down for three days by an administrator. It appears this is the place to go to ask for a reduction in protection level. I realize this is a contentious topic, but everyone else was getting along just fine, barring the usual minor disagreements (all of which we discussed like adults). Please see the talk page for evidence as to what I am referring to. I would request a reduction in protection level, and more importantly a block of user:Mark Miller from editing this page. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.114.214.45 (talk • contribs)
The IP editor has now made this request in three different places including the post here. It would have been helpful if they had linked to User talk:EdJohnston#Alt left where I previously declined their request. I'll leave this one for some other admin to decide on. Personally I think my choice of three days of full protection was reasonable. (It is uncommon to issue blocks at AN3 when protection is also used).

An earlier request for semi-protection was rejected on the grounds that there was insufficient recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I have made attempts to engage the anonymous user on both the article's talk page (see Talk:Wuxia#Tagging), as well as on the talk pages of the IP addresses the anonymous user has been editing from. The anonymous user not only refuses to participate in any form of discussion, but also persists in tag bombing. LDScontact me 07:14, 20 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Pending changes protection: Persistent vandalizatation happening repeatedly every few days, where after a very few days, vandalism occurs again.

Due to the style of vandalization that this page is receiving (which is on and off), it would be wise to put, a (pending changes protection) rather than a straight out protection that prevents non-confirmed users from editing.

Administrator note - This article is right up to the line of what I would consider to be "reasonably construed as belonging to the Arab-Israeli conflict." I'm leaning decline on the protection request as while the conflict is mentioned it is not the main subject of the article and we generally try to be as open to editing as possible as a default stance. However, I would appreciate a second opinion from another admin prior to handling the request. Mifter (talk) 07:20, 20 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Mifter - If the article contains content that could or would be considered "Arab-Israeli conflict-related", then the article is within the realms of this topic and therefore WP:ARBPIA3#500/30 would apply. Broadly construed is what this very situation is meant for; if content within an article subject has a legitimate argument to be considered within a given topic under discretionary sanctions or if the content appears to be "borderline" or "dancing" within the given topic, then the article can be considered as being within that particular topic and therefore under discretionary sanctions. ~Oshwah~(talk)(contribs) 02:09, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Robminchin did the same. And it was not only one editor but a bunch of editors whose edits Robminchin and I had to revert to get back to the censens.

The IP seems to have added a protection template to the article, and then again along with the many improvement tags once a bot removed it. Presumably this is an attempt to deflect protection. IP, since you appear to be reading this, but not your talk page, just start a discussion at Talk:Grant Cardone and explain what you're doing. It's not obvious.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There is a big fight between some editors and users of the language. The editors in this case are imposing their point of view by reverting the edits that do not conform with their point of view. They are using bullying techniques.

Unprotection or reduction in protection expiry time: There's no reason for this article to be protected until 2019 - that's essentially the same thing as indefinite protection for drive-by editors like myself. Pages should never be protected that long IMHO, especially a page about a popular tourist attraction that lots of users will likely want to edit. Please either unprotect this page or reduce the expiry time to something more reasonable (i.e. 3 months maximum). Thank you. 24.91.249.202 (talk) 02:05, 28 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Permanent Semi-protection: Her birth year is constantly being changed from 1992 to 1994. Until it has been proven her age was falsified, it needs to stay 1992. Changing it to 1994 is akin to accusing someone of doping. Request permanent protection as this controversy was almost 10 years ago and it's still going on. Internet sleuths finding a different year of birth listed for her at another time is not proof that year is accurate either, and the inconsistency is already discussed in her article and in an article dedicated to the controversy. —МандичкаYO 😜 10:23, 29 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – PP1 is nice, but nearly every edit that isn't a reversion IS a bad edit by a anon. And every other edit…is by an anon. Well above the 5% guideline in policy.

35 bad edits, all non-autoconfirmed
30 reversions
37 other edits, all but 4 were AC
3 bot edits
So only 4-5 edits out of 102 were good and made by an IP%. That's not 5% vandalism, thats 5% good anon edits. Thanks. L3X1(distænt write) 16:33, 31 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
If yall don't want to Indef Semi the page, I am fine to go to AN, ANI, VPP, or RfC to get community consensus for indef Semi. L3X1(distænt write) 16:37, 31 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I did think about taking this to a specific admin, but I didn't want to canvas, and as I was asking for essentially indef semi I'm not going to obscure anyone who wants to add input why this should be declined. L3X1(distænt write) 16:44, 31 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
After checking the edit history and the protection log, I would support indefinite semiprotection. EdJohnston (talk) 17:13, 31 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Question:@EvergreenFir: Which section on the talk page contains the discussion referred to in edit summaries? Samsara 08:41, 31 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
There are two: this one and this one. Discussuon is active/ongoing, the edit warring by IPs is not helping. Fyddlestix (talk) 13:10, 31 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I cam here to request the same thing. If the IP editors can be kept at bay, I think we can proceed with discussion of the material in question, but at the moment this is really disruptive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ValarianB (talk • contribs) 15:26, 31 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Full protection: shortcut now linked to the automated welcome system resulting in many people posting at this talk page. Lets protect this talk page from editing from new editors (as is the main page) this way they will move on to a more productive area or perhaps read the posting on the page on where to go to ask questions.Moxy (talk) 19:32, 30 August 2017 (UTC).

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This page is an inappropriate place for new users to be posting and a dead end for them; if the inappropriate posts resume after protection expires, maybe the link in the automated welcome system should be changed. --MelanieN (talk) 22:01, 30 August 2017 (UTC) MelanieN (talk) 22:01, 30 August 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
