Humanities and language reference desks

Shorten protection/unprotection (whichever is appropriate) - Apparently both pages were semi-protected due to sockpuppetry. However, looking at their page histories, the level of disruption at the time didn't seem to be enough to warrant semi-protection, let alone protection of this length (all the way up until March). I am aware that the desks were semi'd due to IP-hopping, but discussions on the talk page seem to be of the consensus that the length is too much. Potential constructive questions by anonymous users on the said pages could also be affected. Protecting admin Future Perfect at Sunrise did not reply to my message on their talk page. Pinging Elockid (who also briefly protected the two pages before the protections were lifted). If the protection needs to stay for now, I request that the length be shortened: until March seems overkill; maybe a fortnight at most is enough? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:57, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

  • I'm currently working on a solution to mitigate the problem. Good news is that it's had some effectiveness in blocking the disruptive edits. I wouldn't be opposed to modifying the protection/unprotection but it would be nice if a heads up was given so that I can make necessary modifications to the filter. ElockidHappy holidays! 03:31, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

I'll put it on the record that I will remain strongly opposed to any lifting or shortening of the present protection. And, frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of people acting as if protecting those pages was some particularly horrible thing to do. If a regular high-profile article in mainspace was hit by this amount of vandalism, we'd have indef-semiprotection in no time, no questions asked. What's the difference? The collateral damage in the case of mainspace articles is much more serious than here, not less. In mainspace articles, the potential edits we are losing are actual, useful contributions to the encyclopedia. On the refdesks, the number of anon contributions that are actually useful to our project is negligible, always has been. And if the OP thought the level of disruption at the time wasn't high enough, they clearly have no idea what they are talking about. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:13, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

I've been using the reference desk for years and from experience the argument that "the number of anon contributions that are actually useful to our project is negligible, always has been" is inaccurate. While disruption existed here and there, the majority of questions from anonymous users were made in good faith. FPaT, please assume good faith and don't assume that most anonymous contributions to the reference desk are unconstructive; we'd be turning away potential editors in the process. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:11, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
When it comes to the refdesks, "made in good faith" is not the same as "useful to the encyclopedia". Nothing in this has anything to do with assuming or not assuming "good faith". Yes, we are turning away potential editors in the process – just as we always do, on every page we protect. You have still not explained why this effect would be in any way more serious here than on all the thousands of other protected pages, where IPs would be making actual contributions to the encyclopedia but where nobody is complaining. And to speak of disruption "here and there" is a breathtakingly inappropriate use of understatement. There have been persistent attacks on these pages on a daily basis for the last three months at least. WP:RD/H alone had 12 separate protections, totalling about half the days out of the 90 days prior to the current protection, with an average of less than 4 days from the end of one protection to the onset of the next. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:48, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
Can you suggest any alternatives to protection then? Because based on the discussions on the talk page there seems to be consensus that protection isn't the answer (at least not yet). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:57, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
No, there isn't any alternative, and given the nature of the criminal harassment that this particular troll's activity have become, I really don't give a fuck about what some people on that talkpage are saying. These pages will remain protected for as long as it takes, and any administrator who lifts it early will be an enabler of harassment. End of discussion. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:05, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
Not unprotected, no significant evidence provided to suggest unprotection is warranted. Thanks, Nakon 06:31, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Intercontinental Cup (football)

I made an entry of content , an IP changed it accusing me of WP:POV , what is incorrect as in my entry I cited the exact words included in the source (FIFA.com). As it is a sensitive theme, dealing with passion of club football supporters, I think this kind of vdndalism could happen again.

"New year, old arguments" (cit.) The article is entitled "Intercontinental Cup", therefore the only subject that interests for making best that article is the Intercontinental Cup, a competition helded between 1960 and 2004 between the representative teams of the, then, world club football's top level: Europe and South America (for that regions come from ALL World Cup winners since 1930 and the CWC since 2000). In the introduction it is stated the one and last thing which is related to the current Club World Cup: for better or worse IC is often presented by FIFA, UEFA and CONMEBOL as its forerunner competition). It has no encyclopedic value fill the article with FALSE ARGUMENTS to decrease the historical value of this competition (as often make this pt.wiki user like his previous versions called EpidemiaCorinthiana/God Football or some of his puppets) or, worse, present to the world the CWC as the "real" world cup. This is frankly ridiculous. Finally, everything described in the lead section was previously agreed with an administrator a while ago, so before unilaterally modify the page, should be contacted in the discussion page as established by the regulations of this website.--2001:1388:3:5D39:E5B8:3878:F370:339E (talk) 02:39, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
P.S. No web should tell something was de facto to put here. Just so it is considered from the point of view of the facts (a.e. Wimbledon is often called in tennis as the sport's "world cup" without ever having been in legal terms, in legal terms has the same value like the others Grand Slam competitions; In USA all World Series winners are called "world champions" despite in fact it is only the American MLB postseason. In both cases, the sporting level is the discriminant and the interclub football's highest level since 1950 until the second half of 1990 was a duopoly between Western Europe and the South America's East Coast). That is the factual truth.
P.S.2 "has been revamped by FIFA to reach out to all confederations and associations across the globe so the winners may TRULY be regarded as the best club side in the world" its an obvious example of POV. In tha same way, the most sport press regards like that the UCL winner team or some European top league winner if the CL winner is "weak" as in 2012. Repeat, in sports, the sporting level is the only thing that matters...

Pending changes: Downgrading to pending changes. Not very much logs that justifies indefinite semi. Only two logs of semi; one for temporary several month semi and one for the indef semi. Might need to ask SilkTork for permission of pending changes. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 22:55, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the curtsey note, though my permission is not needed; however I will give my views. The article was being significantly vandalised at the point of protection. For the year previous almost every edit was either vandalism or a revert of vandalism. For an article with a balance between vandalism and positive edits by unregistered accounts then Pending Changes is a viable option, but for an article where for a year the edits were all, bar one, hostile, then using Pending Changes would create work for no benefit, as each edit would need to be approved or declined. As a few years have passed, removing the protection to see what happens might be worth considering. And then a judgement could be made as to which form of protection is more appropriate. But currently, based on the article history, Pending Changes is not a viable option. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:54, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
Unprotected SilkTork is absolutely correct. There's no advantage to a downgrade to pending changes. It's either going to be fine, in which case PC isn't needed, or it's going to blow up in our faces, in which case the PC reviewers will get a ton of pointless work before it's semi-protected again. We'll roll the dice and take our chances. :-) Katietalk 18:07, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Declined It's substituted onto talk pages, not transcluded, so a) it doesn't qualify for template protection, and b) there wouldn't be any damage to the encyclopedia from disruptive edits anyway.

Talk:Militia occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge

Temporary semi-protection: Since the main page was protected, the Talk page has been inundated with IP editors and SPA accounts repeatedly requesting identical, or virtually identical, edits, which are being repeatedly declined. This, itself, would be fine, however, none of them sign their comments and generally insert them into random places on the page making it appear comments can be attributed to editors who had not written them and generally creating an almost impossible to follow flow of discussion in some parts. This situation appears to be increasing and it is rapidly becoming impossible to discuss edits to the page. GF editors have deleted consensus decisions simply because it's been impossible to identify anything in this mess. LavaBaron (talk) 18:19, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

I see the problem, but unfortunately I do not see how it could be helped. This is a long-time disruption, apparently caused by the attention of media three days ago, high traffic. We do not want to semi-protect a talk page for a month, and a day long protection will not help. Let us see what my admin colleagues say.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:30, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
@Ymblanter: What we could do is protect this page and setup an IP talk page. It's pretty unusual for an article talk page, but it might work. What we would need is a template announcement at the top of this talk page, but making templates is waaaaay beyond my skill set. Do you know anyone that could? GedUK  13:40, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

@Ymblanter: Cool. There used to be one for user talk pages, but I can't find it. GedUK  14:09, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
@Ged UK: I was thinking about the template like on top of Talk:Kiev (the very first one). I am not aware of the existence of a dedicated template for protected talk pages.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:12, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
@Ymblanter:Yeah, it might have been one an experienced user/admin made themselves for their page. Going back a good few years now. I can almost remember his name. Anyway, the Kiev one looks good, wording something like "This page is temporarily protected from non-logged in (IP) accounts and new user edits. Non-logged in accounts and new users can edit This page. This includes for edit requests.". Something like that. GedUK  14:17, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
@Ged UK: Great. For how long do we want to protect the talk page? One month?--Ymblanter (talk) 14:21, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
@Ymblanter: I'd say a week for now, hard to know how long this situation would last. I found the page, but it didn't have a template, just a message (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SchuminWeb/Talk_active&oldid=345801595). GedUK  14:24, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
@Ged UK: Ok, let us protect if for a week. If no protection is needed after this one expires, we can always merge the IP talk page with the talk page archives. Will protect and set up the page now.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:30, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
Just to clarify, this can't be a long-term disruption as the article has only existed for 3 days (unless "long term" = 72 hours). LavaBaron (talk) 16:34, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: The newly created article Jon Ritzheimer is receiving the attention of IP editors and SPA accounts frustrated with their inability to edit Militia occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Question: @GSS-1987: What are you asking for? Page is currently semi-protected, so lowering it to PC would only likely increase the activity. If there's issues with the people editing the page currently, speak to them, and if necessary report to WP:AIV. GedUK  13:41, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello Ged, I have asked one of the user to stop adding unsourced information before it become official but s/he replied me this. I understand lowering the protection level to PC would increase the activity but also i think it can control the voilation of WP:CRYSTAL and vandalism. You can close this request for now if you feel it wont help and i will keep my eyes on the page for weekly eviction/entry updates if this continue i will surely go with WP:AIV.

Chicken Island (Guangdong)

Unprotection: There is a draft article that looks competent that I wish to accept at WP:AFC, see Draft:Chicken Island (Guangdong). If you disagree please let me know on my talk page why I am mistaken. Fiddle Faddle 18:19, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Timtrent, maybe fix your references to give reference information in more English? Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 22:21, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
@Qwertyxp2000: They are not my references. I am assuming they suffice since we do not require references to be in English. On that basis I wish to accept the Articles for Creation draft. I care, but not enough to make a strong argument for it. We accept drafts if they stand, in our view, a better than 60% chance of surviving an immediate deletion process I believe it does. Your mileage may vary. Fiddle Faddle 22:55, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Unprotection If I'm reading the log correctly, this talk page appears to have been semi-protected (with no expiration) more than five years ago.

Unprotected Looks like the same thing happened back in April 2015, where protection settings got carried over from a page move. The talk page was unprotected prior to that, so safe to say it was inadvertent — MusikAnimal talk 18:20, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Harley-Davidson XR-750

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Please undo [20] and revert to stable version. Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:39, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Fully protected for 3 days. Erm, seriously, you're edit-warring about the word "winningest"? Deryck C. 00:47, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
It's standard American English. Its used on 3 Featured Articles (2005 ACC Championship Game, 2008 Orange Bowl, Roberto Luongo), 3 Featured Lists and 9 Good Articles. It isn't slang. The fact is it grates on the the British ear, and I'm sorry about that. To me this is an issue about WP:RETAIN. When Americans change 'petrol' to 'gasoline" because they think petrol sounds pompous like Little Lord Fauntleroy, I revert it for the same reasons. We can't allow Americans to slowly replace UK English with American, nor vice versa. WP:RETAIN keeps the peace. The Harley-Davidson XR-750 is very American, in a very American sport and our sources use the same language we see on the American football Featured Articles. And a Canadian hockey article too.

If it wasn't an MOS:ENGVAR issue I'd let it go. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 00:54, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

It's not an ENGVAR (nationality) issue. It's a formality issue. The American Heritage Dictionary [21], Oxford dictionaries [22], and dictionary.com [23] all show "winningest" as "informal". Informal language is fine for a sports column but per WP:TONE,"Wikipedia articles, and other encyclopedic content, should be written in a formal tone." Per dictionary references, "Winningest" is not formal. That other articles here use it is an other stuff exists argument, possibly the most derided argument on Wikipedia. The correct action in this case is to remove the word from the other articles unless they're using it in direct quotes. Jeh (talk) 01:39, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
These articles are not "stuff". The consensus established by 3 FAs, 3 FLs and 9 GAs is that the word is acceptable as American English, and it is very accurate because it describes a very specific thing -- the most wins, nothing more or less -- which alternatives like "successful" fail to do. The precedent established by all these Featured and Good pages should be respected. We're talking about a great deal of scrutiny by many, many seasoned editors. Why not go and change all those other articles first and then come tell me the word isn't allowed? If this is really not an ENGVAR issue then fine, forget it, but that's why I'm pushing it. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 01:50, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
What absolute rubbish. Requesting full page protection to keep a nonsense word. "Winningest" is the sort of word found in advertising slogans, not reference works. --Pete (talk) 02:03, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
When you dismiss FAs and GAs that way, then you're saying Wikipedia consists of nothing more than "I just don't like it". Consensus now means nothing? We just spout opinions about what is rubbish and nonsense and don't look at dictionary sources or anything. Please go and change all those FAs and GAs first. (Hi Pete, fancy meeting you again.)

See Harley-Davidson XR-750 gets like 20k hits a year; it's practically unread. You go and remove all this "nonsense" and "rubbish" from those FAs and FLs and GAs, and a very large number of editors are going to be back in your face. And why? Nobody misunderstands "winningest"; it's pure WP:IJDLI. It's easy to pick on this one article but you know it won't stand scrutiny. It's just easier to score points on XR-750 and slink away without facing the implications. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:11, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

California Valley Miwok Tribe

Semi-protection: The corresponding talk page has been indefinitely semi-protected for the past year, based on continual refusal by POV IP editors to source statements, refrain from deleting existing sourced text, etc. Unfortunately, the actual article page was not semi-protected, which has allowed a regular string of POV unsourced IP edits such as all these. Could an admin semi-protect California Valley Miwok Tribe to ensure that editors wishing to modify the article are at least contactable, so we can try to engage in a discussion? Many thanks.

Johann Sebastian Bach

RfC is currently open at Johann Sebastian Bach with 4-5 editors accepting changes with citations added to the proposed text, and two editors opposed User:Martindale and User:Francis Schonken. User:Francis has now started editing the page without waiting for the RfC to end along with User:Martindale as the two opposing editors who are in agreement with each other. Talk page of the Bach RfC and Talk page for Martindale have been notified to await the close of the RfC to no effect since User:Francis has decided to now close the RfC he has participated in by himself without waiting for a proper close, and then to continue to force his edits into the article. The RfC has also been listed for Admin close on the appropriate noticeboard, which currently has a little backlogged. Requesting short Full Protection for two weeks in order to allow for the Admin close of the RfC as it was listed there on the appropriate noticeboard last week. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 17:35, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

While writing this request I have noticed that the editor User talk:Francis Schonken has started to revert again on the Talk page to force his version of the edit and RfC into the Bach article against Wikipedia policy and guidelines for edit conduct. Could someone look at this to protect the page. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 17:46, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
User:Francis Schoncken is continuing edit warring on the Talk page of Johann Sebastian Bach in his overnight edits. Short term Full Page Protection is requested for two weeks and a warning to User:francis Schoncken to observe RfC rules for close by an uninvolved editor which has already been requested. His next revert in edit warring puts him at three reverts and he has had problems with other editors during the RfC (user:Martindale and user:Jashin). Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 15:51, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
It looks like a content dispute to me. I can of course fully protect the page (2 weeks is fully inappropriate, I doubt any admin would select more than 3 days), but if there is edit-warring at the talk page I doubt it could help.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:25, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
Yes, that seems appropriate to limit it to 3 days at Full protection, and hopefully that user will be encouraged to return to participate in the Talk discussion there. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 16:34, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

It's not yet expired, so let's wait and see what happens once it expires. This is a decline, but I'm not using the template because I want to fool the bot: if I decline it now, and then in a few days it's needed, the bot will still put up a big warning saying "this request was made in the last eight days but got denied", making it less likely that your request would be heeded.

Laksa

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Requested only as a last resort. Article is about the origin of a dish called Laksa, and some editors insist on listing Malaysia as the sole place of origin even though valid sources have been provided to show that other countries like Indonesia also originated this dish. These editors refuse to engage in discussion about conflicting content even though they have been repeatedly advised (5 times) to do so on the article talk page and on the revert comments [30][31][32][33][34]. Instead, they keep reverting and removing sources that weaken their preferred version. In addition, when the pro-"Malaysia is the only country that created Laksa" editors are reverting and removing the other sources, they are have been adding repeated instances of the same single source(Asiancorrespondence) that claims Malaysia as the sole source of origin as if to further reinforce their bias. Just need a semi/temporary page protection to encourage all relevant parties to discuss the issue on the talk page. Zhanzhao (talk) 04:34, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Update - As I had previously suggested in the talk page, I have created a new section in the article listing out all the different "origin" claims, all with references/sources given. However, even this get blanket removed, as non of the other editors are willing to discuss their edits. Other than page-protection, or if the decision is to not protect it, is there any other way I can force the editors to discuss the issue? Or any other board I can make a request? Zhanzhao (talk) 09:01, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
Update - I had given my explanation in the talk page. Also my friend's from Malaysia explained in talk page. Based on reference that provided by 161.139.222.17, it was clear that Laksa originated in Malaysia. In talk page, he/she also had explained a number of references including a statement from their minister and Laksa also already recognized as their heritage food by the Malaysian Department of National Heritage under ‘Act 645 (National Heritage Act 2005)’. Also, one of references from Lara Dunston statement that published in Asian Correspondent. Lara Dunston very famous all over the world on assignment for publications from National Geographic Traveller in the USA to The Independent in the UK. In addition, Zhanzhao also show a bad attitude as the editor in Soto mie article. Please see the soto mie page:(cur | prev) 06:22, 12 January 2016‎ Zhanzhao (talk | contribs)‎ m . . (4,725 bytes) (+229)‎ . . (Reverted 1 edit by 161.139.222.17 (talk) to last revision by Lee788. (TW)) (undo | thank) and (cur | prev) 07:53, 12 January 2016‎. He/she edited without valid source with claimed that Indonesian dish, Soto mie also from Singapore. That's why, i can not trust Zhanzhao, and i prefer Malaysian editors. Here, i request to protect Laksa article from Zhanzhao that make Vandalism on Wikipedia page.Magbantay (talk) 4:16, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for finally using the talk page after repeated requests. I need to point out that I corrected myself by personally provided the link to Gunkarta in the Soto discussion which shows the dish to be of Indonesia origin,[35], which he used and acknowledged by Gunkarta [36]. Which you will have realized if you used the talk page more often.

  • Before that, it was "Operation Barbarossa' Is my best kush name i could give myself (German: Unternehmen Barbarossa)MY NAME DOLAND TRUMP AND I A PROVE THIS MESSAGE"
  • A day before this, someone changed the lead to "Operation Barbarossa HEY man want to go smoke the good kush"

I agree that this is a rare example which is best kept admin protected. For an individual user, the potential harm from a malicious change is significant. An unnoticed malicious change could enable theft of login credentials, or cause an innocent user to perform automated random vandalism, as just a couple of examples of the potential for harm. The immediate impact would not be as severe as a malicious change to MediaWiki:Common.js, but the impact for an individual user unlucky enough to catch a bad revision of it has the potential to be just as bad. Going by the talk page, there's not a high demand for changes to it, so I fail to see a justification for increased risk. --Murph9000 (talk) 17:36, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Johann Sebastian Bach

Full protection - RfC is currently open at Johann Sebastian Bach with 4-5 editors in support of changes with citations added to the proposed text, and two editors Opposed User:Martindale and User:Francis Schonken. User:Martindale and User:Francis have returned to edit warring on the page and trying to force their version of the edit into the article despite warning from User:Softlavender to follow RfC policy and guideline. In addition, previous Full page protection from User:Ymblanter for User:Martindale and User:Francis to stop edit warring and to encourage them to either participate in the open RfC or to await its outcome has been ignored. The two editors have refused to do this and have continued to set aside the warning made to them and to force their version of the edit into the article against Wikipedia policy and guidelines. Request here is made for Full Page Protection for the article for 5-days and final warnings to both User:Martindale and User:Francis to follow RfC guidelines and policies and to not force their edits into the article when an RfC is still open and since a preliminary warning was already made by User:Softlaverder to User:Martindale concerning this matter.

The RfC has also been listed for Admin close on the appropriate noticeboard, which currently has a little backlog. Requesting short Full Page Protection for 5-days in order to allow for the Admin close of the RfC as it was listed and since the previous 3-day Full Page Protection was ignored by the two opposing editors. The page should be restored to the version previously protected by User:Ymblanter. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 15:56, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

New Delhi

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by anons or new users (see history). Jut to say, one month ago an user changed the population of ND with the one of whole Delhi metropolis, despite the hidden notice in the section "demographics", and this ref (censusindia.gov.in) in the infobox, that contradicts the edit. I think it's very serious that a vandalism/mistake as this one should stay for a month on the Encyclopedia: confusing Delhi with New Delhi, saying that 11 mln people live in an area of 42.7 km². IMHO an indef semi-protection should (IMHO) avoid this kind of problems. Regards. --Dэя-Бøяg 04:08, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Long-term vandalism including changes to band members' names.

I think maybe this needs more explanation. Here are some diffs: misrepresenting a source (I removed some names that are not in the cited source), vandalism to remove confirmed cast members, speculation (roles have not been announced for some of these actors yet), addition of unannounced roles to the plot, etc. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:47, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Safe-space

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Page is frequently modified by anon user/users at the 167.56.x.x and 167.57.x.x IP ranges to violate WP:POV, changing entire article to a critical POV. Language of modifications is similar, suggesting same individuals are editing anonymously (see here, here, and here for examples). Requests to these various anon users to discuss the issue on the talk page or to create a dedicated criticism section have come to no avail. A block requiring an account to edit (I do not know which sort of block that might be) would allow this person or persons to be engaged in a manner that they can contribute to the article (i.e. add valid criticisms in a constructive manner) rather than an unending cycle of "whack-a-mole.".

Johann Sebastian Bach

Continued edit warring and forum shopping by User:Matrindale and User:Francis Schonken to force their version of the Bach material into the article. Their edit warring and forum shopping have resulted in a "no close/No consensus" RfC and a follow-up RfC to be initiated. Since two previous Full Page Protections to encourage them to participate constructively in the RfC process have not worked, I am requesting that the new RfC be on Full Page Protection for one full month (30 days minus the 3 days for which the new RfC has already been running).

The RfC at Johann Sebastian Bach had 4-5 editors in support of changes with citations added to the proposed text, and two editors Opposed User:Martindale and User:Francis Schonken. User:Martindale and User:Francis were apparently displeased with the progress of that RfC and they have returned to edit warring and forum shopping on the page and trying to force their version of the edit into the article. This was despite the caution warning from User:Softl to User:Francis Schonken to follow RfC policy and wait for a result. In addition, two previous Full Page Protections from User:Ymblanter and User:MusikA, for User:Martindale and User:Francis to stop edit warring and to encourage them to either participate in the RfC and await its outcome have been ignored. The two editors have refused to do this and have continued to set aside the warning made to them, and to force their version of the edit into the article against Wikipedia policy and guidelines. User:Martindale, having knowledge of the open RFC, then began forum shopping on the DRN page which does not allow DRN when an RFC is open, and unfortunately managed to hook-in one of the unsuspecting editors there into doing the "no close/no consensus" demi-close on the old RfC. When I rewrote the RfC, then User:Martindale defaced the new RfC by pointing to his improperly formed DRN which he had started against DRN policy. The effect was to scare off and deflect all editors from responding to the inital RFC announcement for the new RfC. I have spent an hour or two rewriting the RFC to make it at least look like a somewhat normal RFC, though the damage done by their nullifying the initial RFC announcement and in effect turning-away the 50-60 editors who normally would have responded to the initial RFC announcement (see the page counts for that day on the Bach Talk Page) likely can not be recovered without re-doing the RFC a third time. User:Francis continues his forum shopping at this time by opening Edit Request sections on the Talk page at Bach which appear to want to further subvert the RfC which has been clearly posted and announced there.

Requessting here that the page should be restored to the version previously protected by User:Ymblanter and Full Page Protection for 30 days for the new RfC is requested because of persistent edit warring and forum shopping by User:Martindale and User:Francis Schonken now over three times. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 18:08, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Declined – Ask User:MusikAnimal if he is inclined to extend the 5-day full protection he imposed at Bach. If not, I recommend you try to find consensus on the talk page. The tone of this request suggests WP:Battleground thinking on your part. In a case where an RfC has been closed with no consensus, we can either hope for a lucky outcome from further negotiation, or accept leaving the status quo in place for a while. If warring on the article continues after protection expires, that may be time to start considering blocks for those who aren't using patience in the negotiation. EdJohnston (talk) 18:57, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
@EdJohnston: If a 5-day extension is preferable then that is fine. I am trying to keep this as a peaceful RfC discussion on the Talk page. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 19:09, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes: Persistent vandalism – I might be asking for a bit much here, but this page is a constant target for sneaky vandalism. Not a high pace of vandalism, just a constant low boil of minor number changes. In the last month there were 35 edits and only 2 constructive edits ([58]). At most it needs updating maybe every 3 months as the various agencies release number updates. I would be nice not to have to worry about this page.

Semi-protection: A fair amount of IP vandalism, occurring once every few days, from different IP addresses. It is often affecting the lede section, and usually involves removal of information that the anonymous IPs don't like (for instance this removal of her American citizenship or this removal of the fact that she is a gay icon). In affecting the lede, such vandalism clearly impacts on how the article (currently undergoing a GAN) will be viewed by its wider readership. Semi-protecting this page should deal with this problem.

However this is clearly a "straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge" which WP:PRIMARY permits. Since Steve Harvey does not work for XBIZ, it's not plausible to suppose that the organization was wrong about whom it selected as Male Performer of the Year.

Longtime full-protection: long-time persistent level of vandalism by removal of content. - DVdm (talk) 13:02, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Declined full protection for the article. SPI is thataway.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – It is a rather controversial redirect. Consensus in Talk:Cmd.exe is to redirect it to Cmd.exe but looking at the history, I see the famous edit-warrior User:Mdrnpndr (formerly Dogmaticeclectic!, now blocked) once prevented the consensus from taking effect. I tried to do it today, but 73.40.108.10 (a harassment-only IP) tried to disrupt me. (Materialscientist has blocked 73.40.108.10 in the past). To prevent IP-hopping, however, protection is needed.

Salting in this situation was the reasonable thing to do, five recreations is still five attempts and failures even if they're a decade apart.

Lists of South Korean idol groups

Full protection: Persistent vandalism/Disruptive editing and edit warring. The pages in question was originally by agreed by consensus that it would be a bulleted list on each page without the unnecessary information overload. Every time someone tries to go back to it, someone turns the pages back into a table layout. Further more, even with the pages as tables and with information overload there is always someone edit warring with information both minor edits and major edits. I'm requesting that the pages should be returned to their original bulleted list state. Most of these idol groups aren't particularly notable and without a page of their own in the English Wikipedia. Could we have it so that these pages are highly protected in some way? (I do hope I'm doing this request right) Alicia leo86 (talk) 18:25, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Are you sure it isn't worth protecting, Gfoley4?

I agree that the edits are concerning, but in cases of where the is only one editor making these edits, a block would be more appropriate. If the user continues, they probably will be blocked. Also, the user is only two edits from being autoconfirmed, making semi-protection moot. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 03:52, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

  • CoconutPaste doesn't mention it here, but protecting admin Tanthalas39 last edited in 2008, and the protecting edit summary mentions another admin who, after a username change, edited for a while but retired in 2010: this is definitely the right place to come. Normally I would fulfill the request without question, but these Disney movies are routinely the targets of a long-term disruptive user, so I don't know if this is a good idea. Other admins, note that CoconutPaste is a new account, but his editing patterns make me confident that he's unrelated to the disruptive user. Nyttend (talk) 15:11, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

The IP user disagrees but he does not bring forward any reasons. So WP:Consensus does not apply here.

Nxavar, I was going to make a similar comment to that of KrakatoaKatie. As for content, the statement you repeated added is misleading. I've removed it, also.

Lists of South Korean idol groups

Full protection: I would like to reopen this request because persistent vandalism/disruptive editing and edit warring ever since the creation of these pages. The pages in question was originally by agreed by consensus that it would be a bullet-ed list on each page without the unnecessary information overload. Every time someone tries to go back to it, someone turns the pages back into a table layout. Further more, even with the pages as tables and with information overload there is always someone edit warring with information both minor edits and major edits. I'm requesting that the pages should be returned to their original bullet-ed list state. Most of these idol groups aren't particularly notable and without a page of their own in the English Wikipedia. Could we have it so that these pages are highly protected in some way? Alicia leo86 (talk) 11:02, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

I'll let someone else handle it, but like I said to Alicia leo86 on my talk page: The last revert I see on the 2000s is on January 18...January 11 for 2010s...October 28 for 1990s. DOesn't seem too disruptive to me. only (talk) 11:17, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello Only, I do apologize for reopening the request. However, it comes off highly disruptive when people are constantly editing the pages and removing information and links. I might be incredibly bias here but not only is it disruptive, it is highly annoying to people who are trying to have some sort of consistency to these pages. These pages never remain consistent. Much of this information is rather unnecessary and not notable. Information like Gender, Agency, Number of Members, Sub-units, Japanese Debut date, when they disbanded and other information tidbits can be easily found in their wikipedia pages which is only one click away. Having it in a table is a sure fire way for constant disruptive editing. Alicia leo86 (talk) 11:40, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
Then put it in bullet form. Protection isn't needed to change the form of it. two of the articles have been in table form since October. One since December. only (talk) 11:54, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi,

I'm really not understanding it as these articles are confusing. Can the page not be just unprotected? Grangehilllover (talk) 16:28, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

No, usually if you want a page unprotected because you feel the subject is now notable then a draft article is helpful to get it unprotected as then at least you're showing evidence that an article is viable and that it'll pass notability guidelines. If the processes I showed you are too complex to understand then the article wizard tool will also help. tutterMouse (talk) 17:06, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi,

@Grangehilllover: My strong advice is that you take this draft through Articles for creation (AfC) – they will unsalt this page for you if they approve it. (If you want, I can put an AfC template at the top of the draft for you.) On my end, I don't think your sourcing is quite strong enough yet to take this draft into mainspace yet... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:04, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
@IJBall: Pinging Grangehilllover again about this, the steps to go through AFC confused them before when I tried to guide them so asking them to do it again would most likely require more hands on guidance than I'm capable of giving. tutterMouse (talk) 21:26, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
@TutterMouse: I believe Grangehilllover already submitted the draft through AfC and it was rejected as not being adequately sourced. I advise an Admin close this entry as "Not done" "Declined". --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:44, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images

Temporary semi-full-protection: Bringing this here from WP:ANI. Editors dispute some changes that BushelCandle and EEng have made to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images guideline page about size and location, and there is currently a RfC going on about the size aspect of the guideline. See Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Images#Fixing images below the default size and Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Images#RfC: Should the guideline maintain the "As a general rule" wording or something similar?. Permalinks here and here. EEng is steadily making significant changes to the guideline without consensus, and I feel that the page needs full protection to cease this disruption to the guideline page until the RfC is over and/or until other matters are worked out on the guideline talk page. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:16, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

  • Query: Is "Temporary semi-protection" or "full protection to cease this disruption to the guideline page until the RfC is over and/or until other matters are worked out on the guideline talk page" being requested?
If the latter, then this would seem excessive and smacks of filibustering when, overtly, only a small part of a subsection seems to be the subject of ongoing dispute and discussion. It also seems unnecessary when a conciliatory proposal has been made with regard to this small part of a subsection and remains unanswered at the time of writing this. BushelCandle (talk) 05:32, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
BushelCandle, I meant full protection. Semi-protection would not stop editors who are WP:Autoconfirmed, meaning those like you and me. And why the page needs full protection should be clear by this back and forth, and other contested changes going on at the guideline page, and this discussion going on at WP:ANI. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 09:38, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for that clarification that you wish to stop all editors updating and clarifying our Manual of Style section on images so that it conforms to our current policy on the topic. For exactly what period of time do you want to completely freeze the MoS page? 3 months, 6 months? Please simply accept that you have as much right to improve our advice as I do and use the usual methods of BRD ? BushelCandle (talk) 08:19, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
I explained my issue; and, as noted, it's the same issue others have expressed about the recent changes being made to the guideline without discussion or consensus. You obviously disagree, but do not misrepresent my views as "stop[ping] all editors updating and clarifying our Manual of Style section on images so that it conforms to our current policy on the topic." I'm also not sure what "current policy" you are referring to, but the back and forth changes going on there now are based on editors' preferences and not on what has been proven to work well for years. And as for the length of temporary full protection, I already stated, "I feel that the page needs full protection to cease this disruption to the guideline page until the RfC is over and/or until other matters are worked out on the guideline talk page." It's up to an administrator to set the length. But either, way, it's clear that the page will not be full-protected at this point; so you and others are free to repeatedly change the guideline so that it's different from one day to the next, on an editor's whim, and is never stable.

ResellerRatings

Unprotection: ResellerRatings factual content is consistently removed by an individual associated with the company, then protection requests are filed to prevent that information from appearing in the article. Any factual, well sourced, encyclopedic content added by any user which casts any type of unfavorable light on this business is consistently removed, then protection requests are filed to keep the information out of the article for 6 months. The same user, Techimo, who likely has an affiliation with the organization as the only other article he's ever contributed is the one he started about the company's founder (Scott Wainner), is responsible for this manipulation.

The latest revisions were quite neutral, well sourced from peer review sites such as the Better Business Bureau, SiteJabber, and Truspilot, as well as industry news magazine, Internet Retailer Magazine, a former division of Thomson Reuters. These are neutral sources with no axe to grind. Criticisms were listed as well as the steps ResellerRatings took to address them. That is about as neutral as it gets. All of ResellerRatings' peers such as TrustPilot, Angie's List, and the Better Business Bureau have similar "Criticism" sections. Why is ResellerRatings' article allowed to be any different?

The consistent citing of "non neutral point of view" by user Techimo and his various IP's is false, disruptive, and misleading. I request that protection be removed, the article be reverted to the https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ResellerRatings&oldid=701384529 revision, and for the protection to be added back for a 6 month period, to prevent Techimo from removing factual content and abusing Wikipedia protection. ZeroShadows (talk) 20:57, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Counter Argument to Unprotection: ZeroShadows is defending content contributed to the ResellerRatings page by 71.235.154.73, an edit warring IP who posted the same (or versions of) critical attacks (citing every negative, and not reliable, hearsay, blog, and user generated forum posting source he could locate) no less than 103 times in December 2014 in an eager effort to attack the ResellerRatings page with a non-NPOV agenda, which also included sources which were not reliable. This user then began another tirade of posts under the the username NotTechimo, for which he was blocked from Wikipedia for impersonating (me) by Mr._Stradivarius. The edit war continued from 32.211.179.232, so the ResellerRatings page was protected for 6 months until August 2015 by CambridgeBayWeather.

Now, after a new round of critical, non-NPOV, and biased edits to the ResellerRatings page by the same edit warring IP 71.235.154.73 which began on January 21, 2016, within hours, ZeroShadows also contributed several edits to the ResellerRatings and Better Business Bureau pages, and he is now here asking you to allow his (or his friend's) biased agenda and attack against this page to be allowed to persist. There is documentation on the web that exists proving that 71.235.154.73 has a continuing financial interest in damaging the ResellerRatings page and an axe to grind, but in the interest of upholding Wikipedia's outing policy, that won't be posted here. However, ignoring that, and on the sole basis that 71.235.154.73 engaged in a 100+ edit warring attack, impersonated me by creating the NotTechimo account, and got blocked by two admins, I would respectfully request that you deny this user the ability to continue his pattern of abuse. Techimo (talk) 08:25, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Response: You've made my point in your response, citing the same "non-NPOV" argument you make for every single edit to the article made by anyone, but yourself. The history of the article speaks for itself as you've been at this since the inception of the article (which you started). Calling the Better Business Bureau, Angie's List, Trustpilot, Sitejabber, and Thomson Reuters "negative, and not reliable, hearsay, blog, and user generated forum posting source(s)" is laughable. You obviously have a vested interest in ResellerRatings, are not an impartial user, and most definitely have a conflict of interest. These sources are impartial and have no axe to grind. The data that was included, regardless of who included it, was neutral, encyclopedic, and in the spirit of Wikipedia. Your manipulation of the protection system and prevention of factual information from appearing in the article needs to end. ZeroShadows (talk) 09:18, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

A.J._Styles

Semi-protection: People are constantly editing this article back and forth between two versions. The version described here is the correct one that should be kept: Keep both A.J. Styles AND AJ Styles as ring names + keep the infobox picture as Styles arm raised on Raw. Both ring names are correct and he uses both, he always has. The infoxbox picture that people keep putting on is the one where Styles is at an indy show in 2014, which is quite outdated, the one that was taken on the 25th of January this year with Styles getting his arm raised should be kept. It would be best to get the page semi-protected with the version I have described here ASAP.

Johann Sebastian Bach

Temporary Full Page Protection (5-days): Persistent disruptive editing, third time, on Bach article and Talk page by User:Francis Schonken. A new RfC is currently open at Johann Sebastian Bach with 4-5 editors in support of changes with citations added to the proposed text in the previous RfC, and two editors Opposed User:Martindale and User:Francis Schonken. One of the editors, User:Francis has returned to edit warring on the Talk page despite warning from User:Softlavender to follow RfC policy and guideline. In addition, two previous Full page protection from User:Ymblanter and User:MusikA previously issued for User:Francis to stop edit warring and to encourage him to participate in the open RfC have been ignored. Instead, User:Francis is now disruptively editing the RfC in order to deflect any new editors from participating. Virtually all new editors have been deflected over the week-end from participation due to the disruptive editing by User:Francis. I have returned the RfC to normal format and requested that editor comments be placed in the Comment Section of the RfC following the Support-Oppose section but User:Francis ignores this and reverts it. User:Francis is apparently now pretending to be the originator and author of the RfC by edit warring.

Request here is made for temporary Full Page Protection for the article for 5-days and a cautionary warning to User:Francis to follow RfC guidelines and policies since a preliminary warning was already made by User:Softlaverder to User:Francis concerning this matter.
