Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 01:19, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Radar

Reason: For a third times an IP is introducing redundant text and this time is removing referenced text from the article. It should be semi-protected from further bad editing. Pierre cb (talk) 13:24, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 01:20, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined An argument could be made that your statement is correct but there is no policy or guideline that I am aware of supporting that view. Johnuniq (talk) 01:28, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Elliot Rodger

Indefinite Extended-protection: For months, multiple sockpuppets have been adding persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Multiple sockpuppets have blocked since July 2024 for adding crap like "author of the modern incel ideology". The 2014 Isla Vista killings article was indefinitely extended-protected for the same issues. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 00:26, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Daniel Quinlan (talk) 01:31, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 01:46, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia:About

Full protection: Highly visible page, no real need to edit anyway. Heyaaaaalol (talk) 00:32, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined @Heyaaaaalol: It is indefinitely fully move protected and semi-protected for edits. The last problem was on 30 October 2024 and was reverted in 30 minutes. The page has a lot of watchers and is not critical so I'm inclined to not protect without a demonstrated need. Johnuniq (talk) 02:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Template:Maintenance category/doc

Indefinite template protection: High-risk template – Over 39,000 transclusions. Heyaaaaalol (talk) 01:10, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined @Heyaaaaalol: Template:Maintenance category has 39,000 transclusions but it is already indefinitely template-editor protected. We don't routinely protect doc pages and Template:Maintenance category/doc only has 2 transclusions. Johnuniq (talk) 02:00, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Never mind, didn’t check. Sorry lol Heyaaaaalol (talk) 02:36, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Coyote Springs, Nevada

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because it has been protected for 14 years and is not a very visible page. The protector, Vegaswikian, has not been active for 9 years. I don’t see a lot of edits every year. 2603:8080:D03:89D4:90C8:7FFC:E377:47B8 (talk) 03:53, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Gurgura

Reason: vandalism and constant editting/removing content. please protect the page and allow changes to edits with only references Hurso77 (talk) 02:08, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Hurso77: It is not possible to allow only certain kinds of edits. You should discuss issues on the article talk page. Please ask for assistance at WP:Teahouse. Johnuniq (talk) 07:51, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Jeevitha

Reason: From August through December 2024, an IP has repeatedly made bad edits and has repeatedly reverted attempts to correct them. Please prevent further IP edits. Thank you. Jellysandwich0 (talk) 03:24, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Yes, there was one disruptive right after the last protection I imposed expired ... in late September. Editing as a whole has been rather minimal since then. Daniel Case (talk) 07:04, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Jelly Roll (singer)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – repeated vandalism and genre-warring. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 05:31, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Seems to have died down a few days ago. Daniel Case (talk) 07:05, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

2025 Finalissima

Pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated recreation of an article for a future football event that was eventually rescheduled to 2026. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:28, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Ongoing IP vandalism. SugarRat – t c 07:48, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 07:56, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Gurgura

Reason: vandalism and disruptive editing/removing of factual text Hurso77 (talk) 02:10, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I will leave a CTOPS notice on the talk page, though. Daniel Case (talk) 07:01, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
@Daniel Case: Oops. I was coming down and just semi-protected the article for a week, partly as a favor for the requester so they didn't run into an edit-warring problem. Please adjust if wanted. Johnuniq (talk) 07:54, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

hi:रामकृपाल यादव जी

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Janufff (talk) 02:29, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Pease do not request protection for non English articles here. Heyaaaaalol (talk) 02:35, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Can you help us protect ourselves? Janufff (talk) 02:39, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
@Janufff: English-language Wikipedia administrators have zero authority on the Hindi Wikipedia. You need to ask at the Hindi Wikipedia's equivalent of this page. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 02:53, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
I see no signs of vandalism in the page history, but I have nominated it for speedy deletion. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:46, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Not done. I see you've now made a request on the Hindi Wikipedia's administrators' noticeboard. (There's also hi:विकिपीडिया:पृष्ठ सुरक्षा अनुरोध.) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:47, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 14:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Edward C. Johnson II

Reason: Long-term disruption by roving IPs of User:Colemanhull/User:Theonomad. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Colemanhull/Archive for further info and precedent of using page restrictions. 99.182.240.124 (talk) 13:04, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 14:22, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Long-term disruption by roving IPs of User:Colemanhull/User:Theonomad. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Colemanhull/Archive for further info and precedent of using page restrictions. 99.182.240.124 (talk) 13:05, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

User(s) blocked: 135.84.203.253 (talk · contribs).
Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 16:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

The International Jew

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. These attempts to remove cited information from the lead occur on a fairly regular basis, which is why I'm requesting the period be indefinite ButlerBlog (talk) 16:45, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected indefinitely. Long-term disruption, but sufficiently infrequent that PC should suffice. Favonian (talk) 17:10, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Ramkripalyadavg

Reason: Request unprotection We are unable to create an article for this....... . Janufff (talk) 02:45, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

@Janufff: Make a draft for this. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 02:52, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Not unprotected – Please create a sourced version of this article in a subpage or your userspace. When this is done, please make the request again, or ask any administrator to move the page for you. Favonian (talk) 14:04, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Show Me series

Reason: It was recreated same other page article Cardinals vs Royals closed as redirect at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cardinals–Royals rivalry (3rd nomination) I think this protection is no longer need because no one gonna use this page anymore since is deleted per CSD G4 applies. 173.219.25.75 (talk) 06:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Insofar as I can actually grok this request, that isn't an argument for unprotection; in fact repeated deletions (of any sort, not just G4) is grounds for a salting. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 08:56, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Not unprotected – Favonian (talk) 14:05, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion

I would like to request that... (The upper range of Bahubali 2's gross is stated as 2500 crore. This is incorrect as only one source mentions it and even there the insinuation is that both part 1 and 2 collectively did this number.) . Darius bactria (talk) 10:20, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Not done – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is not protected. Favonian (talk) 14:00, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

2025 New Orleans truck attack

Reason: BLPCRIME vandalism. Borgenland (talk) 13:35, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Support temporary semi protection, as all vandalism appears to be from IPs adding uncited info/BLP vios the wildfire update guy that also writes about other weather (talk) 18:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Devara: Part 1

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism of financial figures by various IPs and an ID [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. -. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:39, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

PayPal Honey

Reason: Ongoing class action lawsuit, many unverified and logged out users editing the page to say that Honey is a "scam" and that information is "not true" without citing reliale and verifiable sources, causing disruption and many edit reversions. I believe that protecting this page to a degree would improve the page's medium term quality, as fewer noncompliant edits will be made and therefore would have to be reverted. Wafflerrs (talk) 22:02, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 22:26, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 22:37, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Zero D

Reason: This redirect was hijacked twice today by two IPs and a (now blocked) new editor, replacing it with an advertisement. ECP or the like for a while might be a useful deterrent to it happening a third time. 81.2.123.64 (talk) 21:59, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 22:30, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Whopper

Reason: Page was protected 6 years ago due to sockpuppetry Heyaaaaalol (talk) 19:41, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Not done – Earlier today, you (very properly) made a request at the protecting admin's talk page. Wait for him to respond. Favonian (talk) 20:54, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Template:User es

Reason: Protected 20 years ago due to a single vandal (according to protection log). The template is still somewhat highly used so reduce it to semi or ECP Heyaaaaalol (talk) 19:42, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Not done – Template has 3843 transclusions, which makes template protection appropriate. Favonian (talk) 20:45, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent vandalism from newly created user account Wafflerrs (talk) 02:13, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Already protected by administrator Ad Orientem. Sdrqaz (talk) 06:52, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

User:LilianaUwU

Reason: Doesn’t fully-protecting a non-administrator’s user page lock the user out of editing it? If this is not true feel free to keep the protection as Liliana is a pretty heated topic Heyaaaaalol (talk) 22:50, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Question: How is this your business? An admin has taken action they felt necessary based in evidence not visible to non-admins. I have no reason to believe LilianaUwU has any problem with it; quite the contrary. Please accept occasionally there are things going on most users have zero reason to know specific details about, so long as holders of advanced permissions are accountable within the entire community. BusterD (talk) 23:08, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Not done. What BusterD said, but at any rate it doesn't lock the user out of editing it: see WP:UP#PROTECT, third paragraph. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:16, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Sdrqaz (talk) 06:52, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

June 2021 North American storm complex

Reason: Page needs another semi protection. This page was previously protected to prevent an IP LTA (WP:LTA/A5) from editing. Andrew5, the LTA, came back to editing the page today. Semi is being re-requested after the first revert as Andrew5 is an IP-hopping LTA which over 200 IP accounts. The reverting IP is already at SPI, but edit history shows this needs another semi protection round on it. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 19:44, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Temporary semi-protection: Pattern of disruptive editing from IP addresses due to a difference between the final vote certification and a third-party election source (David Leip). Should be protected until Leip updates his results. Mad Mismagius (talk) 03:46, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Squid Game season 3

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Persistent addition of "27 June" or "June 27" as release date despite no official confirmation on such release date yet. The best I could find is simply unreliable sources like on Reddit, forums, etc dicussing on the supposedly leaked date. — 🎉🎆 Paper9oll 🎆🎉 (🔔 • 📝) 09:53, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

@Gorobay: How frequent of a search term is this, and what stops you from being able to create it yourself? You're autoconfirmed. (If you're barred due to a topic-ban, we cannot do this on your behalf barring a compelling reason.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 08:06, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Just to clarify, they can't create it, since it matches the local title-blacklist. Thus, it can only be created by template editors, page movers, or admins. I would do it, but I don't really see the need either here, and despite redirects being cheap, it probably meets WP:RFD#DELETE, with If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name that is not mentioned in the target, it is unlikely to be useful. EggRoll97 (talk) 09:21, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
I’m requesting it because ISO 15924 gives it as an alternative name for Geba. As a search term it is probably rare. It is mentioned in the target. Gorobay (talk) 13:24, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

It appears to be a content dispute and as stated in the protection policy: Semi-protection should not be used as a preemptive measure against vandalism that has not yet occurred or to privilege registered users over unregistered users in (valid) content disputes. and Like semi-protection, pending changes protection should never be used in genuine content disputes, where there is a risk of placing a particular group of editors (unregistered users) at a disadvantage.

Jamaican cuisine

Reason: Since mid-December I have been dealing with the said user who uses the (following I.P. addresses: 2601:147:4700:2000:F477:719:678B:F64D, 68.110.32.32 and 68.33.255.195, who keeps disrupting my editing and vandalizing pages I have been contributing to i.e. Rice and peas, Stew peas and most recently Jamaica cuisine. I am still working on the Rice and peas page but I am currently editing Jamaican cuisine. This user who I believe to be Costa Rican is affiliated with the 'Rice and beans' and 'Gallo pinto' pages, has persistently been stalking (yes, stalking) all of the pages I have been contributing to. Not only is it disruptive and malicious, but I feel discouraged from contributing here as a result. I am requesting semi-protection or full protection of the said page(s) as a result. On previous occasions senior editors have intervened to reverse content removal, and in December temporary protection was given to Rice and peas as a result of the actions of the said user. I have tried to report the user for vandalism but I have not seen a change. I am also seeking help with the absolute blocking of this user who continues to abuse the platform. I have tried to engage with the user via open talk, and have also warned them over a dozen times, but to no avail. I do not wish to engage in edit-warring, and it is getting exhausting so I would really appreciate some effective intervention. Thanks in advance. Xaymacan (talk) 21:28, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Donald Trump will take office as President of the United States. I fear that this article will be distorted in a manner that favors him and his followers.

Michael Wong (actor)

Reason: This article was protected in 2015 to prevent vandalism. This was nearly 10 years ago now, which is a long time for vandalism protection to persist - likely overlooked because it's not a big actor or highly trafficked page.

I think it should be safe to remove the protection now. I am unable to ask the editor who applied the protection to remove it as their page sadly shows they are deceased. Thank you. 2A02:C7C:CC80:8200:B4FF:FC7A:8941:66A3 (talk) 00:06, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Tesla Model S

Indefinite semi-protection: In addition to this article, which gets nearly 500,000 page views yearly and was recently promoted to featured article status, this article receives high levels of vandalism mainly from IPs. Here are some of the examples: [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36]. These are only some of the examples. Keep in mind, the article looked like this before i gave it a massive revamp, due to the number of unsourced additions from IP addresses as well as a large amount of missed vandalism added by IPs which remained in the article until i revamped it. Protecting this page, which again gets 500,000 annual views, would shield vandalism and help us experienced editors see and revert vandalism from newer editors quicker. Best, 750h+ 16:10, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There's a bit of vandalism recently, but it's hard to untangle from what seems to be a gang of editors owning the article and reverting any edit made by an IP or new account at any time for any reason or no reason at all. If featured article status brings more actual vandalism then an administrator may consider longer-term protection, but it does not appear to be justified at this time.

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. I agree that we usually do not fully protect indefinitely. But: there seems to be a (rough) consensus on talk on how to proceed... which is ignored by a single user; better to deal with this on a direct base instead of locking the whole page down.

Semi-protection: IP editor's consistent disruptive editing, use of WP:OR, and being WP:POINTY all without even attempting to open a discussion on the talk page. – GlowstoneUnknown (Talk) 16:07, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

  • I'm going to leave this for another admin, but from what I see nobody, including yourself, has attempted to open a discussion. At a glance, the edits you are reverting as "disruptive" are also adding citations from publications that are generally considered reliable, sometimes the same ones that you are using, which suggests to me that this is a content dispute. In these situations I would look for a discussion on the talk page to determine a consensus on how best to reflect the information in the article, and would determine who is being disruptive and edit warring inappropriately based on that. In the absence of such a discussion, I would be using admin tools to prejudice one side of a content dispute, and I would prefer not to. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:48, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent vandalism, persistent disruptive editing, high-risk page due to subject.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The continued and persistent additions of IPs and new editors commenting about attempting to contact Miller, or trying to confirm if they were actually contacted by Miller from Facebook (who were contacted by clear scammers) is getting to be fairly disruptive, and the clear warnings against posting such is not working and has been going on for multiple years.

The whole page is just incorrect. This is an indie animation series and not a meme.

Template:Disney franchises

Reason: Continuous additions of non-existent articles by IPs; in this case, redirected pages about media franchises, which if more of this type were added would take up unnecessary space for the purpose of the template BrookTheHumming (talk) 17:03, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

I concur with Brook for temporary semi-protection; this navbox is only meant to have full-fledged franchise articles, not section redirects. An IP user has recently been trying to add Anastasia (franchise) to the navbox even though it only redirects to a section in the article for the 1997 film, which is not the intent of the template. –WPA (talk) 23:03, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined First, the user appears to be on a /64, which should not be taken to imply by itself they are deliberately hopping IPs. Second, they haven't been warned in five days—contrary to what too many people here may think, it is not self-evident from being reverted that you're doing something wrong, at least not to new editors. Third, not all of their edits have been reverted (although you are right that most of those have been on the article in question. Fourth, if they are a sock, who are they a sock of? Being on a /64 where your ISP dynamically assigns your IP address does not, as I said above, make you a sock. Daniel Case (talk) 23:17, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Witness: Passing the Torch of Holocaust Memory to New Generations

Extended content

Reason: re: Mass Deletion of Holocaust Survivor Quotes & Images from Witness: Passing the Torch of Holocaust Memory to New Generations

hello,

I have a few important issues to raise with this latest deletion. I'm addressing this post both to the author of the deletions as well as to any neutral observers will be viewing this at a later date.

1.⁠ ⁠This page has been up for many years (since 2015) with no objection to the quotes and images that were up prior to January 2, 2025, despite having been seen by thousands of people, including Wikipedia editors.

I have seen a lot of pages being unjustly attacked or ones with content deleted without proper explanation, and I have noticed that some pages get some protection from this. On Jan 2 this year, a user (Moxy) deleted over 13,000 characters and some pictures with no explanation except "mass copy and pasting," which was untrue. Over the last decade, this content has been filled with survivor testimony and was wiped out in seconds.

2. The editor who deleted over 13,000 words claims these quotes were mass copied and pasted. This is untrue. Each quote was sourced and excerpted from a different review and was pasted individually

3. The editor who deleted the 13,000 words also deleted all the references below (under "See Also"), including the references to the USC Shoah Foundation, among other references. This organization is intimately tied to the book because every picture of a Holocaust survivor or Righteous among the Nations in the book is linked to the testimony found on the USCSF website. One of the significant features of the book is that the testimony on the printed page becomes alive when one uses a smartphone (hovering over the image in the book) to access the testimony on the USC Shoah Foundation.

4. All the quotes and images from the Holocaust survivors (Elie Wiesel etc.) and other individuals (Steven Spielberg (founder of USC Shoah Foundation), Pop Francis, Pres. Barak Obama etc) mentioned in the book have been removed.

One of the stated goals of the book is to keep the memories and stories of the Holocaust survivors alive. So it is indeed ironic that whoever is removing these images is doing the exact opposite of the purpose of the book.

The title of the book is: Witness: Passing the Torch of Holocaust Memory to New Generations. By deleting these crucial testimonies to the Holocaust, the editor is, in fact, extinguishing the "torch of Holocaust memory" for current readers and generations to come if these deletions are allowed to stand.

To put this point as succinctly as possible - directly to the editor - why would you or anybody else want to remove a picture of a Holocaust survivor from the book whose entire family was murdered in the Holocaust? To end and to what purpose does this serve?

My last point:

This is not the first time that Holocaust pages have been unfairly targeted, even after the pages were up for many, many years on Wikipedia - seen by thousands without objection.

One has to wonder if there is a political agenda at play or if some individuals are simply intent on disrupting the flow of human understanding of significant events in human history, and this case, the history of the Holocaust.

It is beyond frustrating when one is trying to educate the public with pure knowledge and help people understand the enormity of events like the Holocaust when individuals come along randomly, for no apparent reason - or perhaps even worse - and delete these important sources of the history of humanity. Write this now.

As this is becoming a worrisome trend, especially in this hyper-politicized environment, I am wondering if there's a way we can get protection for this page to forestall these kinds of unjustified mass deletions.

When I wrote on the person's wall and explained these points, the user wrote back, " This is not grade 7..."

As someone whose own great-grandmother was deported to Auschwitz in 1944 at 84 years of age, this is not just a question of academic knowledge but deeply personal to me as well. But I keep things subjective for Wikipedia. Is there some actual help Wikipedia can provide to stop people form erasing 3/4 of a page that has been up for a decade instantly?

thanks you so much

​No problem! If the disruptive editing does reoccur, please submit another report.

although they have no account of their Rajput origin or prevailing Rajput traditions.

They have there Rajput tiers as Maharani Avantibai Lodhi (16 August 1831 – 20 March 1858) was a queen-ruler and freedom fighter. She was the queen of the Ramgarh (present-day Dindori) in Madhya Pradesh. An opponent of the British East India Company during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, information concerning her is sparse and mostly comes from folklore. In 21st century, she has been used as a political icon in Lodhi community. Siddharthaavermaaa (talk) 10:39, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Due to the relatively niche nature of the article's subject, I would suggest WP:PCPP or WP:SEMI at most, so as not to exclude too many editors from participating.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism by IP editors. Since the new year, there have been 17 edits (10 by IPs and 7 by registered editors). Of these, 7 are egregious IP vandalism; 2 are IPs reverting IP vandalism; 1 is a marginally constructive IP edit (a wikilink); 5 are registered editors undoing IP vandalism; 1 is a registered editor undoing a good-faith mistake by an IP editor; and 1 is a registered editor fixing a small grammar mistake. Thus, in the past 12 days, 82% of edits solely exist as or because of IP vandalism. It's obvious this will continue to be a contentious subject.

Thank you. In fact, I have revised and sent the following addition to Post-postmodernism, but no editors, who were earlier engaged with this, has replied. Is that ok? Can I add it to page Post-postmodernism:
Ghasemi's Hyperhybridism and Heterolinationalism and Cyberculturalism
In his 2023 book chapter Paradigms of Cyberculturalism in Post-postmodernity[1], scholar Mehdi Ghasemi introduces "Cyberculturalism" as a successor to postmodernism, arguing that contemporary society has entered a new artistic, literary, social, media, and economic period. He posits that cyberculture dominates at the intersection of real and virtual spaces, influencing literary and artistic production, publication methods, communication, and economic systems. Ghasemi identifies key paradigms of cyberculturalism, including artificial intelligence, multimediality, social media omnipresence, Twitterature, cybercommerce, and cryptocurrency, which impact art, culture, and economics.
In his 2022 paper Post-postmodernism and the Emergence of Heterolinational Literatures[2], Ghasemi introduces "Heterolinationalism" as another post-postmodernist paradigm. He explores concepts such as post-academia, postnationalism, polyliterature, polyvocalism, plurilingualism, self-publishing, social media, multimediality, transtextuality, and fanfiction as defining features of heterolinational literatures.
In his 2020 paper Hyperhybridism: Postmodernism is Old but not Old Fashioned[3], Ghasemi introduces "Hyperhybridism," which he describes as a post-postmodernist phenomenon coexisting with postmodernism. He characterizes hyperhybridism as multidirectional, recalibrating some of postmodernism's foundational assumptions while synchronously engaging with its predecessor.

Greek alphabet

I believe that the Δ δ underneath the paragraph 'The uppercase and lowercase forms of the 24 letters are:' as well as in the table is italicised incorrectly. I think the italisisation should be removed.

Also underneath that paragraph, Γ's lowercase form appears incorrect and instead uses Latin lowercase 'y'. The correct character has a vertical bottom stroke and looks like a smaller form of 'Y', although it looks like this may be a font issue since the character appears as 'γ' as well, so if anyone can make a workaround that could be an improvement.

I would also like to point out that there might be a better approximate western European equivalent for Χχ that could be a situation in which 'ch' is used to represent 'k^h^' or 'kh' literally appears, but I can't think of any besides names such as 'Charise' or 'Khan', so I think that can stay.

Weimar Republic

Reason: The page is experiencing repeated disruption by anonymous IP users (block evasion maybe?). They continually change the successor flag despite being referred to the article text and its cited sources. Additionally, they alter the text to contradict the sources, seemingly based on personal bias, and refuse to engage in discussions on the talk page. This has been a long-term issue, with similar disruptive behavior persisting over time. Therefore, I request long-term page protection to prevent further issues and ensure the integrity of the article. Gooduserdude (talk) 14:14, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

@Less Unless: There has been repeated sock puppetry every few weeks for several months, always after uploading a copyrighted image and so as to add the image into the article. There has been a lot of editor time already wasted on detecting and reversing this. I would apply a 3-month semi-protection. As you reached this request first, I'm happy to defer to you, but I wanted to make sure that you had noticed the context. arcticocean ■ 17:23, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi! Before making a decision, I have looked through the history and have noticed only a couple of small issues in November and mid October. They however have nothing to do with uploading a copyrighted image. So I am afraid I do not understand what you are referring to and to me it seems the protection is not justified. Maybe pending changes? But if you believe 3-month semi-protection is suitable, please do so. Less Unless (talk) 17:32, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Zionist Organization of America

Reason: The page is filled with misinformation or extreme political bias surrounding a highly-politicized topic. There are statements made that also say "citation missing." It misleadingly labels us as "right wing" which is categorically incorrect, as the stances of ZOA have been pretty much exactly the same since 1897, especially for the past 30+ years, and the ZOA used to be equally engaged with both U.S. political parties. It was not until the past decade or so that one party has flipped and its members will have nothing to do with us, leaving the ZOA to only be seen with Republicans, as if this is the organization's intention, which it is not. We have photos of Joe Biden speaking at a previous ZOA Gala, years ago. The Zionist Organization of America has a plethora of history and current work that is skipped over on this Wiki page, and the public should be able to access historical documents that we are able to provide.

Thornhill, British Columbia

Reason: Someone has been hijacking certain portions of the Wikipedia page, and changing population figures, as well as other facts that are verifiable, and sourced. TerradiseBC (talk) 02:39, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

  • Not done Not enough recent activity. Drmies (talk) 02:46, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
  • TerradiseBC I don't know what you are looking for. I see an IP editor and a new account, but neither of them have any welcome messages or other notes on their talk page. Both are editing and explaining what they are doing. The only one who isn't explaining what they are doing is you. Drmies (talk) 02:48, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
    • I literally wrote the Wikipedia entry, and have posted numerous comments explaining my edits. The IP editor continues to change population figures, and add in nonsensical edits that quote things like "2024 Census" when there isn't one, and add in figures in the "Population history of Kitimat-Stikine Area E (Thornhill)" table that contradict Census data. The new user — I'm guessing you're referring to JDogBT — has been reverting the IP user's changes, and has posted in the Talk page suggesting that he's adding in incorrect, and misleading statements, in order to further his own agenda. If you fact check what I'm talking about, specifically about population, you'll see what I mean. TerradiseBC (talk) 02:53, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
      • You asked for semi-protections, and that's what we do here, but fact-checking to see who's right is not what we do. Your last few edits (reverts) are unexplained, and if there is disruption that's one thing we look for. If I look in the history I don't see obvious disruption, and if I look on the talk page I see that the two are talking to each other, but I don't see you there. So no, I don't see any disruption that warrants denying one of those two editors the capacity to edit. If they are hijacking articles and spreading agendas, you should probably start by explaining that to them on their respective talk pages. Drmies (talk) 03:02, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
        I agree with you on that, but this is a pattern of IP user, and what I can presume is their other account, continuing to change population figures to "5,000+" with no source, and then reverting another editor's reverts. TerradiseBC (talk) 03:04, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

It's a long-term IP-hopping vandal, messing with various stuff. Currently 75.127.12.181. Previous IPs (among others): 103.152.255.235, 190.90.160.164, 130.195.216.22.

(Who has kept this up from many different IPs.) IP has repeatedly ignored attempts at explaining this on both the article talk and in a conversation I had with them on my user talk. (The Droop quota is sometimes defined v⁄k+1 and sometimes v+1⁄k+1; user keeps removing or obfuscating the first definition.)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. This exchange between the two of you is complex enough that I am not comfortable granting even pending changes on that basis. I also see very little evidence of this user being reverted on this page or others. Yes, I'd prefer that they engage more the warnings they've gotten, but there's no requirement that they do, and I should note that they have a clean block record. This is the sort of dispute that needs consensus behind its resolution before we can sanction an editor over it, IMO. Daniel Case (talk) 22:14, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: New user EvandorX created on 16 January, who has only edited this page, is performing large changes to improve the bio and tone down a very long list of (recent) allegations of scientific misconduct (despite their edits, the allegations appear serious and have not been justified I believe). Some of the edits are fine I think, others less. Lots of reverting happening and typos they keep adding back. Happy not have access anymore as IP user as long as more experienced editors can have a look and ensure useful information stays there.

Talk:Donald Trump

Even shorter TLDR - temporary semiprotection Talkpage spam (mostly IPs) repeatedly making edit requests/new discussions about Trump's new picture. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 02:38, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Longer reason: See Talk:Donald Trump § Duplicate edit requests/discussions for the discussion I opened on this issue. Long story short, ever since Trump's "official" inaugural photo was released, there has been a plethora of users attempting to get it replaced/added on many pages - the most prevalent being his page, for obvious reasons. The issue is that there is no evidence whatsoever this image is a free image, and there is actually evidence that the image is non-free (either copyrighted, or barred by a NC restriction). See, for example, the current deletion request on Commons. For historical reference, this also happened in 2017 - Trump "hijacked" a private photographer's image (including posting it on whitehouse.gov claiming it was public domain after his inauguration) without their permission, and the photographer confirmed to VRT/OTRS on Commons (confirmed by multiple VRT members in that discussion in 2017) that they never permitted such. It seems likely that the same is happening here, as a user on Commons has claimed that they spoke to the photographer who wants a NC restriction on this image.

Sorry for the length of this request, but TLDR: there's tons of talk page spam (edit requests or otherwise) from mostly IP editors trying to get this almost-certainly-copyrighted image replaced in his page. I know talkpages are rarely protected, but I'm requesting temporary (maybe a week, to cover the inauguration itself) semiprotection of the talkpage to see if it may help. Any alternative ideas are welcome on the talkpage itself. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 02:36, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

As one of those dealing with the problem firsthand, I'm mixed. In my view, the copyright issue isn't really relevant here; that's just background. Rather, it's the recent onslaught of drive-bys who (1) are misusing the edit request facility because they are too fucking lazy to read the information put in front of them during the edit request path (a continuous problem not unique to this situation), and (2) for some unfathomable reason assume they are the first to think of proposing the new image, so don't bother to look for an existing discussion before edit-requesting. (At the Trump article and other well-attended articles, the edit request facility is always far more trouble than it's worth—probably 95%+ of edit requests at Trump are "not done", and the other 5%− could just as easily use the normal "New section" path—but that's a different discussion.) Ultimately, I think the question is how much useful contribution is the ATP getting recently from IPs and brand-new accounts, and I think the answer is not a lot. I guess I'd lean toward supporting temp semi. ―Mandruss ☎ 06:06, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Joe Biden

In paragraph 4 is this assertion: "In private, White House staffers and Biden's family took measures to conceal and compensate for apparent declines in his acuity." There is no source cited for this consequential claim. The "apparent decline" of mental acuity in Biden, a lifetime stutterer, is a topic of contention. Rnperry (talk) 15:10, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

 Done Removed. We must source EVERYTHING, especially in BLPs. Sumanuil. (talk to me) 05:55, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

What? Nothing is directly sourced in the entire lead for that article, it generally follows the practice of citations in body, not lead, from MOS:LEADCITE. There is however, an entire section in that article that backs up that point. Does the OP think that:
A tight-knit group of select staffers and Biden's family emerged during his presidency that insulated him from others. Biden's staff routinely adapted his schedule and activities to accommodate his needs as he aged and conceal signs of declining cognitive ability. White House staffers took on unusually strong roles as gatekeepers for Biden, limiting meetings with cabinet secretaries, lawmakers, and other officials, and restricting the information made available to him. Events Biden attended were tightly scripted and limited.
was because he had a stutter? There are multiple sources backing it up, from the NYT, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and Axios. KiharaNoukan (talk) 07:32, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Not all of those sources seem entirely reliable (one's reporting on a poll, another calls the endlessly-harped story "underreported"), and the sentence in question is not very neutral. Keep the rest of the paragraph, just remove that. It was fine before it was added. And frankly, some outlets need their reliability re-assessed. Sumanuil. (talk to me) 08:59, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
I've put it back for now, with a "disputed" tag. In the meantime, we really need to re-evaluate the reliability of sources in regard to US politics, especially given how the owners of some outlets have inserted themselves in the decision-making process. Sumanuil.

Regardless of how you feel on this, this is completely inappropriate for the wiki and has no place here. its been a consistent problem in the edit history and protection would be well suited Leah2356 (talk) 03:46, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

K'gari

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs persisting in changing the name of the island back to its defunct old name. GraziePrego (talk) 12:53, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Question: What is the WP:COMMONNAME of the island? Lectonar (talk) 12:57, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
The common name is K’gari. All results when googling “Fraser Island” show reliable sources that refer to the island as either just K’gari or “K’gari (Fraser Island). The name was recently changed so there are some older sources still using the old name, but practically all new sources use the correct new name of K’gari. Example from the Queensland gov website and from UNESCO GraziePrego (talk) 07:07, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

User has a history of this behaviour since last year, which led to a temporary block on another page and temp. protection of 2 others. I do not wish to edit war. The user has done this on at least 6 other pages which I have observed and/or contributed to. Warnings and attempts to discuss have been exhausted, therefore I am requesting temp. protection and an absolute ban on the user. Xaymacan (talk) 03:14, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Daniel Case the vandal which I complained to you about a couple weeks ago is back at it. This user 68.33.255.195 was blocked from the Jamaican cuisine page by another Admin. Last December you temporarily protected Rice and peas from the same user who uses these IP addresses 68.33.255.195 and 2601:147:4700:2000:b8d3:bbb5:f93:3e37. Below I saw where he/she has also requested protection of the same page, by falsely accusing me of what he/she has been doing. I've exhausted attempts to discuss the issue and warnings, but to no avail. I look forward to some effective intervention from you or another admin. Thanks.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 05:31, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Rsjaffe I've been using the article's talk page and even the user's talk page to come to a consensus by discussing the issue, but the user has never responded until now. I even asked other editors to chime in. I appreciate that here is not the place to discuss it, but the user which has a history of vandalism has no intention of actually resolving the matter. The only thing that has worked in the past is temp. protection of the pages or temp. block of the said user's IP address (as was the case in early January). While it might seem like a content dispute which in essence it is, this user tends to follow the pages I contribute to and remove/change content. There is a clear pattern of stalking, vandalism and edit warring, which I have been enduring for the last few months. It is also done to other editors on certain pages, and the edit summaries that they write and claims below are false. This is creating a disruptive and hostile environment, all for the sake of writing and improving articles. I tend to request the protection to avoid engaging in edit warring. By the way, moments after you denied the request, the user returned to the page with random citations, including the book source I provided on the talk page to support the distinction which had been previously discussed by other editors. He/she has been wantonly adding sources (including my book source) which actually do not support the sentences where they had been placed. Xaymacan (talk) 06:30, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Radziwiłł family

Reason: Hello, IP user (46.112.80.216) continues to persistently remove valuable information from the lead of this article which summarizes this Lithuanian origin noble family's struggle for the independence of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and its crucial role in preserving the Grand Duchy of Lithuania as a separate state in the 16th and 17th centuries. Edits where this IP user (46.112.80.216) removed valuable content from the lead of the article: 1, 2, 3. In a short period of time this IP user removed the content three times already and by ignoring another experienced user Flat Out's request to stop doing this he performed the 3rd removal of content (see warning to him by user Flat Out here: 4), so clearly this IP user will not stop by himself. Consequently, I request administrators intervention with protection of this article in order to prevent further disruption by this IP user. -- Pofka (talk) 21:46, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) This is clear data to the contrary, people DO edit the page, and the four edits this year are evidence enough to argue against any lowering. Two Extended-Confirmed editors disruptively blanking the page for "nothing-ness" and restoring a moment later? I can't imagine the disruption of shit edits if the page protection were to be lowered.

Bade Baba Temple

Reason: Dear Wikipedia Administrators, I am writing to request protection for the Wikipedia page [Kundalpur Jain Temple (Bade Baba)] due to persistent vandalism and misinformation being added by certain individuals. The temple is a highly significant religious site for followers of the Digambar sect of Jainism, yet the page has repeatedly been altered with incorrect information, likely motivated by sectarian bias.

Nature of the Issue

1.Misinformation on Managing Body: The temple is managed by Shri Digambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Kundalpur Public Trust, but vandals have changed this to Shri Shwetambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Kundalpur Public Trust, which is factually incorrect.

2.Religious and Cultural Sensitivity: The temple holds immense importance for the Digambar Jain community. The repeated alterations appear to stem from hate or jealousy, which disrespects the faith and beliefs of millions.

Request for Protection

Given the sensitivity of the topic and the repeated vandalism, I kindly request:

1. Semi-protection: Restrict edits to registered and confirmed users.

2. Long-term protection: Given the likelihood of continued attempts at misinformation, I request protection for an extended period.

This will help ensure that the article maintains its accuracy and neutrality, in line with Wikipedia’s guidelines. Protecting this page would not only prevent further disruption but also respect the sentiments of the Jain community, particularly the Digambar sect.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if further details or evidence are needed.

Sincerely,

Anonymous 92.99.127.127 (talk) 12:43, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP edits requiring reverting as people don't check whether US withdrawal is already mentioned in article (it is). Given media attention, this is unlikely to stop soon. AncientWalrus (talk) 07:50, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Since filing this request I discovered that executive order withdrawing US from WHO was added at least 4 times in different places in a span of 6 hours. I can't keep the page orderly alone due to 3RR. The edits are well intentioned by editors making them but still create issues requiring at least semi-protection, ideally extended protection. It's not just IPs but also new editors making these mistakes (not checking if order is already mentioned), hence my suggestion to do extended protection.

I am NOT suggesting the title be changed to "Gulf of America". I am requesting that the article introduction to say "The Gulf of Mexico, called the Gulf of America in the United States,...".

Talk:Mariann Budde

Reason: A number of IPs have been vandalizing the talk page, either treating it as a forum post to talk about their reactions to her sermon, and a partially blocked IP calling The Rt Rev. some pretty crass & gendered insults (namely demanding that there be a section added calling her [derogatory term removed]). This is pretty plainly not the point of a talk page and is disruptive & harmful. 96.231.129.14 (talk) 02:43, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Ah, my apologies for repeating the term, I shouldn't have done that, that's my bad! Figured it was useful for documentation purposes in the moment but it's on the talk page after all, and best not to have that floating around here too, thank you for that! 96.231.129.14 (talk) 02:52, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
I endorse the report by the IP that the attack language at the talk page has gotten out of hand and violates BLP. However, it has not reached the any-reasonable-admin threshold where I feel comfortable acting, as I have a borderline COI with TEC. —C.Fred (talk) 02:54, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Remove: "Historians and political scientists rank Bozo as above average in historical rankings of American presidents."

Way too soon to suggest that in the main text of the article! He has barely left office, its going to be at least a few months before such a bold claim can be made.

Invicta Racing

Reason: The Wikipedia page for Invicta Racing talks about Virtuosi Racing's history, but Invicta Racing purchased the team from Virtuosi, that's why it is discussed in Wikipedia. Someone is continuing to flag the website and say that we are using their sources and it's not original. This is false, we are just talking about the history of the team. The users name is MSport1005. They have been doing this for a while now because we had edited the page originally and they continued to make changes. We need this resolved asap. AviLalo (talk) 17:05, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

+1 Reason: Continued disruptive editing by a single editor. Someone has created a new page to discuss the Invicta Racing, their sponsorship and achievements since purchasing the Virtuosi Racing Team. The original content I tried to update on Virtuosi's page was consistently being removed by this user turning it into a content dispute. Someone has now made a page exclusively discussing Invicta and the same user has followed asking for it to be taken down showing there must be a significant conflict of interest on the users side to keep following this topic to shut it down.

User engages in style-warring and tries to remove the most-common definition of the Droop quota by an unregistered editor. IP repeatedly WP:IDHTs when I've explained this on both the article talk and user talk. (The Droop quota is sometimes defined v⁄(k+1) and sometimes v⁄(k+1)+1; user keeps removing or obfuscating the first definition.)

Update: unsurprisingly, despite previous decline of page protection because the user hadn't edited for a week or two, they've gone right back to it within 2 days, continuing a year-long edit war.

Update 2: Despite a clear consensus on the talk for the presentation I suggested, they've continued edit-warring. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 21:55, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

I assume that's me, whereas I only added +move protection (which I suggest remains regardless). Technically the edit protection dates from Aug 2020 and belongs to MelanieN, who is not currently an admin. With that in mind I'll throw it open to the floor, whilst offering my own incidental soft temporary decline opinion. I think it's too recent, him having left office only this week (and bound to reappear in the near future).

Israel–Hamas war

Currently, the lede states "On 7 October 2023, Hamas-led militant groups launched a surprise attack on Israel, taking 251 captive, against which Israelis responded applying the controversial Hannibal Directive, resulting in the death of 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals, among which 815 civilians.". This implies that the majority of the casualties were caused by Israel applying the Hannibal Directive, and despite some cases of casualties due to this, no credible source has made the claim that the majority of casualties originate from it. I suggest changing the lede back to what it was before it was randomly edited to the current lede without any discussion on the talk page about it, to "On 7 October 2023, Hamas-led militant groups launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals and taking 251 captive."

Israel–Hamas war

In the section labeled "Initial Israeli counter-operation (October 2023)" it states the following: "A July 2024 Haaretz investigation revealed that the IDF ordered the Hannibal Directive to be used, killing many Israeli civilians and soldiers.[181][182] An ABC News (Australia) investigation reported that at least 13 civilians were killed in a 'Hannibal' incident in Beeri."

These sentences are incorrect and not supported by the sourced references. First off, the word "many" in the first sentence is gratuitous, misleading, and, perhaps most importantly, not supported by the Haaretz article it references, which never concludes that any citizens were killed as a direct result of a so-called "Hannibal" directive. Nowhere in the article does it state that the Hannibal directive can be tied to *any* deaths, let alone "many" deaths. Any reference in the article to potential deaths caused by a Hannibal directive are stated as questions, or that investigations are forthcoming. (e.g., "Haaretz does not know whether or how many civilians and soldiers were hit due to these procedures, but the cumulative data indicates that many of the kidnapped people were at risk, exposed to Israeli gunfire, even if they were not the target.") Either way, it certainly does not conclude that "many" deaths were tied to the use of the "Hannibal directive" which is highly misleading.

Similarly, as to the second sentence, the ABC News (Australia) does not conclude that " at least 13 civilians were killed in a 'Hannibal' incident in Beeri". It discusses a tank shooting at a house in Kibbutz Berri , but never states that there is evidence that the IDF tank fire resulted in the death of 13 civilians -- as opposed to the 40 Hamas gunmen who were holding them captive and engaged in a "firefight" with the IDF at the time of the tank fire. The 40 Hamas gunmen could just as easily have killed them as opposed to tank fire. Indeed, an eyewitness stated "Mr Shifroni's aunt Ayala and her grand-niece Liel and grand-nephew Yanai were all killed at Pessi's house — he believes by terrorists", not by the IDF and ""There are a few others that we still don't know and we may never know what exactly killed them." Later on in the article, it states "The team determined that most of the hostages were likely murdered by the terrorists, and further inquiries and reviews of additional findings are necessary.".

I propose that the sentences be re-worded as follows: "A July 2024 Haaretz investigation revealed that the IDF ordered the Hannibal Directive to be used at three locations, putting the lives of some Israeli civilians being held by Hamas at those locations at risk.[181][182]. An ABC News (Australia) investigation reported that after a prolonged firefight in Kibbutz Be'eri with around 40 Hamas gunmen who had been holding 15 hostages inside and outside, 13 of the hostages may have been killed by either the Hamas captors or IDF tank fire."

Israel–Hamas war

Since I cannot reply to my original request on this, I am starting a new request with a different source for the request and a revised sentence:

In the fourth paragraph of the entry, it states."A case accusing Israel of committing genocide is being reviewed by the International Court of Justice,...."

This should be changed to "Cases accusing both Israel and Hamas of committing genocide have been lodged with or are being reviewed by the International Court of Justice,..."

This change is supported by multiple references: https://www.timesofisrael.com/9-bereaved-israeli-families-bring-icc-war-crime-genocide-complaint-against-hamas/ "The families of nine Israeli victims of the October 7 Hamas massacre have lodged a complaint at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for suspected war crimes."

and

https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20231103-israeli-families-bring-war-crime-complaint-to-icc-lawyer)

The change is necessary for accuracy, balance, and neutral point of view.

    Semi-protection should not be used as a preemptive measure against vandalism that has not yet occurred (so this is inconsistent with the Protection Policy WP:PP). In-addition, 6 months is also excessive. The article is already very hostile to new users with the permanent pending changes protection (which in itself, is meant to be used very rarely and doesn't seem justified either). So, rather than just make a summary decision, you should justify why it has been done and provide evidence for it, and explain why the length of protection time was selected. 185.218.127.37 (talk) 05:11, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Marc Elias

Reason: High levels of vandalism. Marc Elias is a progressive voting rights and elections attorney. This page is intentionally being targeted by people who oppose his politics. They are misleading readers regarding Donald Trump's 2020 election loss to Joe Biden and spreading disinformation about Trump associates’ connections to Russian officials and interests. This page needs to be fact checked by serious fact checkers and protected from vandals. 2600:8805:250C:3200:BD90:3AAA:4171:CA5C (talk) 01:26, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism/edit warring by IPs from Malaysia and Turkey since end of December.

October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel

The tile of this article should be changed from "October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel" to "October 7 Hamas-led Genocide on Israel".

There is numerous support for this change:

  • On October 7, 2023, Hamas waged the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust — slaughtering babies, committing sexual violence, burning whole villages, and taking over 200 people hostage. In total, Hamas murdered over 1,000 Jews, in multiple locations.
  • Various legal experts and genocide studies scholars argue that the 10/7 attack was a genocide as the victims were targeted for their Israeli-Jewish identity.
  • A legal complaint that Hamas committed genocide on 10/7 is currently pending before the ICC.
  • ICC issued arrest warrants for Hamas leaders alleging war crimes
  • Hamas killed more Jews on 10/7 than any other massacre since the Holocaust.
  • Hamas has made repeated statements of it's intent to eradicate the local Jewish population to reclaim "their land" both before and after 10/7 the attack. It was their stated intention for the attack to kill as many Israeli Jews as possible and steal their land.
  • Hamas's previous governing charter including language that has been characterized as incitement to genocide and, according to several commentators, "mandates the killing of Jews".
  • Hamas' official spokesperson promised to commit 10/7 "again and again and again."
  • Hamas official stated that Hamas will carry out attacks over and over again "until Israel is annihilated"
  • Various publications have called October 7 a "genocidal massacre"


The above is all supported by multiple sources. Here are some:

Not done. This isn't an edit request, it's a move request (see WP:RM), and not the right place to discuss it. If you can find an extended confirmed editor who participates on the talk page who agrees that replacing "attack" with "genocide" would pass a WP:RM discussion, then go right ahead. I don't think it would pass, even if you find a few sources that refer to it this way, more can be found that refer to it as "attack". ~Anachronist (talk) 03:00, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Foundational Black American

Reason: I am writing to respectfully request the removal of the edit protection on the "Foundational Black Americans" page. I believe that the current state of the page does not accurately represent the term and may inadvertently mislead readers.

Issue at Hand:

When searching for "Foundational Black Americans," the page redirects to an individual, which does not provide a definition or proper context of the term. This is concerning because:

Misrepresentation: "Foundational Black Americans" refers to a lineage of Black Americans whose ancestors were enslaved in the United States and have developed a distinct cultural heritage over generations. It is not a term beholden to any single person or leader.

Ethnogenesis and Cultural Significance: Black Americans have undergone a unique process of ethnogenesis, evolving from labels such as "Negro" and "Colored" to "African American," and now embracing "Foundational Black Americans" to acknowledge their specific historical and cultural identity.

Potential Misinformation: Redirecting to an individual's page may contribute to misinformation and does not align with Wikipedia's commitment to providing neutral and accurate information.

Request:

I kindly request that the edit protection be lifted to allow for collaborative efforts in:

Creating a Dedicated Page: Developing a comprehensive article that defines "Foundational Black Americans" as a lineage, supported by reliable sources.

Ensuring Accuracy and Neutrality: Providing readers with accurate information that reflects the collective heritage and contributions of Foundational Black Americans without unintended bias.

Commitment to Wikipedia's Standards:

I am committed to adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines on neutrality, verifiability, and reliable sourcing. My intention is to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia and enhance the quality of information available to the public.

Conclusion:

Thank you for considering my request. I believe that updating the page to accurately reflect the term will greatly benefit those seeking information on this important aspect of American history and culture.

I look forward to your response and the opportunity to contribute to this article. 2601:983:4600:7230:8D69:264C:225A:3C55 (talk) 23:57, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Gangwar_(surname)

Reason: I would like to request the unprotection of the Gangwar surname Wikipedia page. Currently, the page is semi-protected, which limits editing to more experienced editors, but this has hindered efforts to improve the page. The page lacks crucial information about the Gangwar clan and its historical background, including details from Vedic texts and other historical references.

As the Gangwar clan's history is deeply rooted in Vedic literature and other historical texts, it requires the expertise of scholars who are familiar with these sources to update the page. Normal editors may not fully grasp the significance of these references, and the semi-protection of the page could delay the process of incorporating the necessary academic and historical context.

It is important to include information about the Gangwar clan's regional distributions, its connections to other communities, and its role in historical events to improve the page’s accuracy and quality. Additionally, updating the page with proper citations and references from respected sources will greatly enhance the credibility of the article.

I respectfully request that the page be unprotected so that scholars and experts can contribute to the article and provide a more comprehensive and accurate account of the Gangwar surname and its historical context.

Thank you for your time and consideration. 4rju9 (talk) 04:20, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Daniel Case The page was semi-protected due to edit wars, which are no longer an issue. It needs updating to include historical information about the Gangwar clan, referenced in Vedic texts and historical sources. The page currently lacks information about the Gangwar clan, including historical context, regional distribution, and connections to other communities. Unprotection will allow me and the other scholars to contribute citations and improve the article’s quality and credibility.

Urgent Request for Protection for the Wikipedia Page of Espérance Sportive de Tunis

Reason: Dear Wikipedia Administrators,

I am writing to request a protection of the Wikipedia page of Espérance Sportive de Tunis, particularly due to the anticipated surge in global attention surrounding the club's participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the USA, which will take place in June 2025.

As the club will be competing in this prestigious event, it is expected that there will be a significant increase in traffic to the page. Unfortunately, this may also lead to attempts to introduce false claims, misinformation, and vandalism. Given the importance of maintaining accurate and reliable content, I believe it is essential to safeguard the page from such disruptions.

Therefore, I respectfully request that the page be any protection you see fit for a reasonable duration before and after the event to preserve the integrity of the article. This will ensure that all information on the page remains correct and that readers receive reliable details about the club during a period of heightened interest.

Thank you for considering this request. I trust that the protection will help maintain the page’s accuracy and reliability, especially at this critical time.

Best regards, Mejri Fares (talk) 13:11, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Education in India

Reason: Requesting permanent pending changes protection. Over the years this article has been prone to vandalism, spam and promotional additions from new and anonymous users. These edits, however, have come in waves, and unfortunately they are sometimes unnoticed. Take for example the edits this month. I think this article would benefit from protection that does not restrict editing but subjects it to review, as many of the appropriate edits are from less experienced editors, but also many of the inappropriate ones.

Request for Article Protection

Reason: Hello, I would like to request protection for the Espérance Sportive de Tunis article, ideally until the end of July 2025. With the team participating in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, many new fans will be seeking information about the club. Given the increase in traffic and interest, it’s likely that the article could face vandalism or unconstructive edits.

Protection would help ensure that the article remains accurate and reliable during this period of heightened attention. Since the tournament’s marketing will soon ramp up, having this protection in place could help avoid disruptions while maintaining the article’s quality. EL major (talk) 21:57, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your response and for explaining the policy on preemptive protection. I understand that protection is generally applied only when there is a demonstrated need, especially outside of sensitive areas like the Arab-Israeli conflict.
However, I still believe that the upcoming 2025 Club World Cup could attract attention that might lead to disruptive or biased edits. I will continue monitoring the article closely, but I appreciate your insight into the protection policy EL major (talk) 22:12, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – This page is about the leader of a large New Religious Movement. He also has a history of controversial views that some may want to deny or hide. As such, the page has a long history of non-constructive edits and deletions of well-sourced material. It seems like these edits happen regularly - about every month or so.

There has been a recent use of sock puppetry on this page, the user @Gybebaggy was blocked for sock puppetry, jointing a group of almost 10. The possible sockmaster is to be confirmed, but given the ongoing disruption insistence, the protection is needed. After the latest sock puppet was blocked an unknown user did the same change which the banned user was asking for. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baruch_Spinoza&diff=1272502522&oldid=1271763813

ARBPIA articles

Reason: In a recent case, the arbitration committee decided
"All articles whose topic is strictly within the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area shall be extended confirmed protected by default, without requiring prior disruption on the article."
The committee later clarified that this applied only to articles wholly or mostly in the topic, and not to pages which have only a minority of their content in the topic.

I have made a list of those articles which are identified as included in ARBPIA by a talk page template but are not EC-protected. If you protect any, please remove them from the list. (I am involved, so I can't protect them myself.)

In principle all of these should now be EC-protected, but there are rather a lot (over 2000). Is there a tool that allows mass protection of articles given in a list? I can provide the list in another format if it helps. Zerotalk 08:39, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

@Zero0000 I think I can do this it shouldn't be that hard but it'll be a little bit hacky. Feel free to hit me up on my talk page and I'll see what I can do tomorrow as for right now the format is fine, but if you could get it to me in a .csv it would save some time.

Hypergiant

Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Multiple disruptive edits and ridiculous mass reverts from sockpuppets of a banned and locked user, who is ignorantly and angrily lashing out on people of quote-unquote "having bias towards VY Canis Majoris as the largest star" even despite my criticism and as well as List of largest stars still having stars with larger radii. Furthermore, this user has been cherry-picking unreliable and biased info like for NML Cygni and UY Scuti in particular such as old radii and status as the largest which likely just came from older Wikipedia revisions (and WP isn't a reliable reference). Just because a ref states a star as the largest star known doesn't mean it should be blindly considered as 100% as the largest depending on other sources and especially the reliable value estimate of the said star (see also an archived discussion). It can be said this sockpuppet creator may be just attempting to rudely force his takes on others rather than discuss in talk page in a civil way. Same goes for other pages this user recently edited like NML Cygni, Red supergiant, Talk:List of largest stars, Stephenson 2 DFK 1, Orders of magnitude (length), and List of star extremes. I apologize if my English was bad. Thanks. Regards—ZaperaWiki44(✉/Contribs) 19:59, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Sean Duffy

Reason: Sean Duffy is the new US Secretary of Transportation; a small section on his position on climate change keeps being changed or partly deleted by IPs.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Removal of tags and addition of poorly sourced budget by multiple sock IPs, here, here, and here. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 07:40, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Powerslam

Reason: A user keeps amending this page to include a note under the “Side Slam” section stating, “Bryan Beal of Berkeley Heights Township Wrestling performs a version called The Beal Bomb.” Neither this wrestler (Bryan Beal) nor the promotion (Berkeley Heights Township Wrestling) hold any form of notoriety in professional wrestling; searching for both “Bryan Beal wrestler” and “Berkeley Heights Township Wrestling” in popular search engines yields no results. This is clearly someone trying to amend the article to include their name to show off to friends or something. I’ve removed the reference a number of times now, and each time it is reverted. The latest reversion even admits the above (“BK Heights Township wrestling is a local house show.”) A local house show does not, to me, seem to satisfy Wikipedia’s requirements of notoriety and therefore warrant inclusion in the article.

2024–2025 Serbian anti-corruption protests

Reason: This page requires better protection due to possible and expected vandalism, bot attacks and spread of misinformation. Please consider semi or fully protecting this page. Thank you! Sremsky (talk) 14:18, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Please enforce WP:CT/EE. IanDBeacon (talk) 18:49, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

+1 Reason: Government corruption and misinformation. Changing the leaders of the protests falsely to "Ustase" and blaming the protests on Croatia. The correct leaders of these protests are Students. The current president party is paying people to change the wiki page along with national television programs to lie and divide the people. Focus of the protests is demanding justice - regardless of the political party / current party in power.

Please lock this page. 193.221.198.106 (talk) 15:51, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
