Herbert Fletcher University

Temporary semi-protection: Mutiple new accounts and an IP have been attempting to add copyrighted, non-neutral content to the article. One account, User:HFUniversity, has already been blocked. Undaunted, an IP began adding enormous quantities of copyrighted, non-neutral text taken directly from the organization's websites. See example version. I communicated to the talk page of that IP what they were doing wrong (see User talk:24.48.232.155), and reverted. They ignored it, and are attempting to re-add the via another new account [1]. All attempts at communication with this person have failed. Requesting temporary semi-protection to halt this problem. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 16:09, 1 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Semi-protection: Vandalism from a longtime IP sock vandal. See this and this for more information. Consider also temporarily protecting the other pages they are currently vandalizing with the IP they are currently using. Although, that won't do much. The person needs to be stopped. Until they are, they will carry on with this, like they have been for at least two years now, for the foreseeable future. I do not have any knowledge on how one stops IPs; the only thing I know of is range blocks but I don't actually know what that is. — DangerousJXD ( talk) 08:37, 1 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action

Indefinite extended confirmed: Arbitration enforcement – History of disruption related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. While Iran isn't an Arab state, this specific subject (the Iran Nuclear Deal) is deeply steeped in issues relating to Israel and Palestine, to the extent that I believe it meets the "reasonably construed" component of WP:ARBPIA3#500/30, which to my understanding is mandatory.

This page was also full-protected due to an edit war about a week ago, initially to last until mid-June. The full protection was lifted, I believe because it was interfering with fixes to the article. There has been an instance of vandalism since then as well. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 17:25, 31 May 2016 (UTC) reply

Semi-protection: Childish vandalism from a longtime IP sock vandal who thinks fictional characters are real. See this section in my sandbox for a summary of this. — DangerousJXD ( talk) 08:17, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Declined I looked at the edits and determined they could be good faith; I can understand the article is about something fictional without the word "fictional" having to be there. Sounds like a good copyedit to me. No protection necessary. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:15, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Ritchie333, trust me mate, this is vandalism. The word "fictional" is standard for these sorts of articles if you didn't already know. Removing it over and over and over and over again is vandalism. Many users have tried talking to this user about this over a period of at least two years and the vandal has never said anything. They have acknowledged that they are aware that they have been told to stop making these edits because they have removed posts off the talk pages of the IPs they use. Note that around ten pages have been protected multiple times because of this. Around ten protecting administrators, dozens of reverting users, myself of course, and a few people who participated in a discussion I once started would disagree with your statement that these edits are productive copyediting. There is no way around it, these edits are vandalism. If you haven't already, take at look at the section in my sandbox which I linked you to above. It contains a list of every IP I have seen making this edit (the oldest activity being April 2014), a basic summary of this situation, and a diff to an admin displaying the opposite opinion to yours. — DangerousJXD ( talk) 09:26, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
I'm sorry, but I do not believe this is vandalism, which I define as a deliberate and obvious attempt to make Wikipedia worse. It may be disruptive, against consensus, and annoying, but I don't believe that removing the word "fictional" makes the article obviously worse. Indeed, I would argue it makes it more concise and more readable, which is a good thing, so I'm with the IP on this one. More to the point, there is not enough continual and frequent changes on this article to warrant a protection. If things are as severe as you believe they are, I would recommend starting a thread on WP:ANI instead. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:30, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
That's your opinion. Just know that everybody else who has directly commented on this would disagree with you. — DangerousJXD ( talk) 09:37, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Well, I am with Ritchie333 here; actually I would have said: Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection.. In olden times I would have said: just watchlist and revert; page protection is not the way to go here; much to heavy-handed. Lectonar ( talk) 09:43, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Lectonar, I expected the decline for there not being much activity but I requested anyway because I was told by one of the protecting admins that waiting for three instances of the vandalism rather than one is "overly bureaucratic" ( diff). I can't get over how you both see it as productive copyediting though. You two are literally the only two users – out of dozens who have commented on this – who have not considered this behaviour to be vandalism. It is clear vandalism. Even if you didn't want to use that term, one simply can not argue that these edits are productive. Watching and reverting is generally how I handle this. I usually only request protection when the edit occurs say five times in one day. Again, I requested 'early' this time because I was pretty much told to do so (same diff as linked above). — DangerousJXD ( talk) 09:52, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
You are reading something into my words which I didn't say: I am with Ritchie333 as to declining the request, but as a "nea" (Actually he provided this rationale too: "...there is not enough continual and frequent changes on this article to warrant a protection" . The frequency is just not high enough. Fell free to bring this up at ANI, though. Lectonar ( talk) 09:56, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
I'd rather cut off all my toes with a pair of scissors than spend one minute at ANI. I don't have ten hours spare and it wouldn't achieve anything anyway. It's good to hear that you have some sense in regard to this matter. I'll handle this junk how I have always handled it, revert on the spot, occasionally request page protection. I assume this person isn't stopping anytime soon so I'll likely be playing this game with them until I am no longer active here. — DangerousJXD ( talk) 10:13, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Not unprotected It seems to me that what the requester really wants is more eyes on their edit suggestions. Perhaps they might want to consider using WP:RSN and WP:COIN for broader input toward their specific edit proposals. There doesn't seem to be a benefit from opening up the article to anonymous users and, based on the two comments above, there appears to be a definite downside.-- regentspark ( comment) 00:00, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Opinion polling for the Spanish general election, 2016

Semi-protection: High level of IP disruptive activity. From yesterday, a large amount of IP users of new creation have started to edit the page to remove a sourced opinion poll, without even giving reasons for such a removal. One of them was recently blocked for WP:HARASS. They are seemingly Spanish users coming from the electomania.es page, which, as by the reading of some comments in this page, seem to have started some sort of "attack" against this article to remove this specific opinion poll "for the sake of it", just because they don't like the data it shows. This poll is allegedly an internal party poll from PSOE, but which, unlike other such polls, has been widely published in the main Spanish media (some examples: El Mundo, El País, RTVE, ABC or La Voz de Galicia). It also shows the sample size, only lacking the fieldwork date. As a result, it has enough relevance to be included in Wikipedia, yet it is highly annoying to have a host of IP users to remove it without any justification or any attempt at discussion and even receiving insults from some of them.

Hi, please note that the edits are from neutral and reliable academic sources, are well supported and quite notable in nature and have nothing at all to do with archivist1642's political concerns. Good faith edits should be addressed in good faith, on the talk page. thank you. 64.53.252.50 ( talk) 18:40, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
The material I deleted was commentary from Cesar Chavez about the phrase "La Raza" and dated from before the time at which this organization used "La Raza" as any part of its name. It was not relevant to this organization and did not belong in this article. There is an article about La Raza that would be appropriate for that content.
Subsequent to that edit, another anonymous user (01:20, 4 June 2016‎ 71.179.244.138 ) went in and changed the content of the article so that my reference no longer supports the content. Please protect this page. It's had to be done in the past, unfortunately. Thanks.

I'm not the editor who Archivist1642 is now complaining about - but I will state that the edit he complains about is rather innocuous and can be seen as good faith in that it is an accurate direct translation. It is NOT an edit I support. I'll also note the that Archivist1642's reference in support of his edit is from an article about the name of a building and has nothing whatsoever to do with the organization.

Also, the page was previously protected by Nakon and they are back after the given protection period with the same type of behavior. Vensco ( T | C) 22:22, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
I don't see it that way, but Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations is the place to address those concerns. And just to be clear, the IP addresses change from day to day, going back to before the first protection when Nakon protected it for vandalism, with the exception of one date where there are 16 hours between posts. That could simply be how the service provider has it set up to change every time the user logs on. — Maile ( talk) 22:30, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
This is a dynamic IPv6, no question same user in /64 range. Impossible to communicate with as comes up on different IP each time logs in. Waste of time for SPI as nothing really to investigate.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent, long-term vandalism and disruptive editing. The majority of recent edits have been vandalism and reverts. Pending changes has not prevented further vandalism; further action is needed to prevent vandalism and stop wasting editors' time reverting vandals.

Donald Trump

Edit: I think that the first statement: "Trump has never done drugs, or smoked cigarettes, and has always heeded a warning from his older brother (an alcoholic) to not drink alcohol.[83]" is misleading as the source is quoting Donald Trump directly. This, in my opinion, is a biased citation, to promote the involved person, as it seems like a confirmed fact. My suggestion would be to change it to "Trump claims he has..." as saying "Trump has never done" and "Trump claims he has never done" have completely different meanings, and the source does not confirm the former. In general, as a decent conduct for a wikipedia article, I actually find that this piece of information to be of a psychological nature appeal instead of factual and as so, I regard it irrelevant as an "encyclopedic" entry. Nonetheless, I just ask for the change of the statement, although I also leave here my own personal view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordKaramazov ( talk • contribs) 10:23, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply

I removed the statement, entirely. "15 fact" lists are rarely reliable unless they provide their sources, and we can check them. If a reliable source quotes Trump as saying that, that we be fine. However, I'm not doing this as an admin, so I don't want to close the request. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:00, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Endorse I recognize that my conduct may not have been perfect recently but this is getting silly with repetitive WP:IDONTLIKEIT and WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT by a group of editors. I'm NOT going to participate in edit warring on this but I believe the article needs re-protecting until consensus is reached instead of on a timer this time.

Dominic Thiem

Temporary semi-protection: Whenever a tennis player makes a big result, their article gets flooded with ignorant edits from inexperienced editors (typically anonymous IPs with no edits) who keep reporting their speculative, future ranking as their official current ranking, writing about the future in the past tense ("was on 6 June" when it's 2 June etc.), unaware of the fact that they are violating WikiProject Tennis/Article guidelines, WP:CRYSTAL and of course WP:V. This is happening on Dominic Thiem (among other articles) now: [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19]. It's getting more and more urgent.

Temporary full protection This page is currently the subject of an Edit Warring Report against user:WelcometoJurassicPark all editors involved with the discussions to reach consensus have refrained from further editing while this process plays out. However the reported editor has continued to edit unrestrained. As such I would appreciate it if the page could be protected until a decision on the Edit Warring Report is made, to prevent further issues. It possibly would also help for once the protection was lifted if this version was restored first which was the last version prior to the report.

You should be blocked for your attacks on other editors. The rules of grammar are clear here: either form is acceptable (and yes, I have looked). Personally I agree with you - the shorter form is what I was taught and what I'd always use - but the erudite handbooks of grammar support both, and so there's no justification to edit-war over it. Andy Dingley ( talk) 12:51, 6 June 2016 (UTC) reply
OK, @ Andy Dingley:. But then that raises 2 questions:
1. Why were we not taught about the option in school?
2. Even if the changeover is made, then what's the supposed "advantage" of changing it back? 2600:100E:B13C:A526:79FE:B84:EC0F:E80D ( talk) 12:56, 6 June 2016 (UTC) reply
An editor can be simultaneously correct, yet disruptive.
WP faces a huge problem - how to manage the vast range of conflicting opinions of so many editors. So we favour objective sourcing over inclusion of all possible truths (on average, we're better off without something than with things which are unsupportable, even if they turn out to be true). We have WP:ENGVAR to avoid arguments over language variants, even at the cost of less than ideal choice of language. In this case, neither form is definitively wrong (I wish one was, I personally think it's ugly) and so there is no justification to be disruptive over it.
So far your actions of repeated reverts and attacks on other editors put you clearly into the disruptive category. Andy Dingley ( talk) 13:08, 6 June 2016 (UTC) reply
In response to your question 1 above, you will need to go back to your teachers and ask them why they didn't teach you all the possible exceptions/options to the rules. We can speculate on why they didn't teach you the option. One possibility, it is easier to teach one variation of the rule and stick to that rather than trying to make sure students understand multiple variations and might get confused. Another possibility is that the teacher was only taught the one variation and never learned the other options so that is what they taught. You need to back off and accept that you might not know everything. If someone reverts you when you make an edit, calmly ask them why so that you can understand. If you continue down the path you are on I could see you getting blocked. --  GB  fan 13:27, 6 June 2016 (UTC) reply
OK, thanks, Andy and GB. But even if I hadn't made a personal attack, then why is it supposedly "disruptive" to change the punctuation to match what our schools taught? And what "advantage" should there be to returning it back to the previous condition even though that doesn't roll the edit-history "clock" back any? 2600:100E:B127:A8DC:36AA:207A:EB3B:DDFE ( talk) 2:37 pm, Today (UTC+1)

@ Lectonar: We do have Draft:Sandbox already so it does seem redundant to an existing place to make test edits in draftspace, maybe a protected redirect instead? tutterMouse ( talk) 13:22, 8 June 2016 (UTC) reply
@ TutterMouse: Hmmm...I thought of that, but I think as as a newbie, maybe with English not being my first language, I would go for something labeled "test" before looking for a "sandbox".

Empty nose syndrome

Doc James wrongly punishes new editors to the article by falsely, without proof associating them with an alleged off-wiki call to edit. I have no affiliation with that post or website. Recent editors to the article, jytdog and Dubbin, in particular have marginalized new editors. This is evident in the Talk section. Please remove all protection.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This article has been getting a ton of vandalism recently, and when I look at every revision since PC was permanently implemented in 2013, a sweeping majority of edits by non-autoconfirmed users (~99%) were reverted as vandalism.

Move protection - In the five days since this wrestler made his debut under a new ring name he's already been moved to Andrade "Cien" Almas twice, contrary to WP:COMMONNAME. He has spent 10 years wrestling in Mexico and Japan as "La Sombra" and 10 minutes wrestling under the new name. Will he with time be more known under his new name? Possibly, but that's Crystal balling.

List of Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles in 2005

Temporary full protection: Persistent vandalism – Currently semi-protected due to persistent sockpuppetry. The sockmaster has moved on to using sleeper accounts to get around semi-protection and is actively using multiple sleeper accounts across many semi-protected articles to insert false information. Unless an admin feels 30/500 is appropriate (which doesn't have community consensus for use against sockpuppetry yet), full protection is the only thing that will stop the disruption. Since this article is based on 2005, legitimate beneficial edits are rare. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Никита-Родин-2002. ~ Rob Talk 00:48, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Declined I'd like to see this continue on for more than two-hour period before concluding full-protection is truly necessary. The sleeper / autoconfirmed dancing is a lot of work for little benefit. I suspect they'll get over it — MusikAnimal talk 02:19, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply
BU Rob13, what I'm wondering is how Ohlava managed to edit through semi-protection. Autoconfirmed is usually four days and ten edits. SarahSV (talk) 02:20, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply
@ SlimVirgin: The account was created on June 2 and remained as a sleeper until activated earlier today with ten swift edits in the userspace. @ MusikAnimal: Please see the archive of the SPI report. This is not the first time this user has used autoconfirmed accounts to edit through semi-protection, unfortunately, and we've been playing whack-a-mole with this incredibly persistent sneaky vandal for months at this point. This master has been using sleepers for months, especially in the past two weeks since long-term semi-protection began being used widely on relevant articles. This one article may have had a two hour rash of vandalism, but this spans dozens of articles, and this master never stops until technically unable to continue. ~ Rob Talk 02:26, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Rob, thanks, I went to block the account, but it has just been done by someone else. SarahSV (talk) 02:46, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Thanks. That stops it for now at least, but he'll be back within a few days. He hops around IPs on a wide range, so CU isn't even effective at finding sleepers. This is going to wind up at ArbCom in an attempt to get 50/300 authorized for the broad topic area affected by this sockmaster, probably. ~ Rob Talk 02:57, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply
I got the impression that we could use 30/500 if we needed to, but perhaps I misunderstood. I'll have a look around. The alternative is to block the accounts as soon as they appear. SarahSV (talk) 03:30, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Much easier said than done when no admins have these articles in their watchlists. These reports typically sit at AIV for a while as other reports are handled, since admins patrolling AIV don't understand the non-simple vandalism. SPI reports can sit anywhere from an hour to multiple weeks. ~ Rob Talk 03:49, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The user User talk:144.36.207.230 is still vandalizing the article Arjuna. Even after repeated warnings by Editors, Admin and Bots the User talk:144.36.207.230 does not seems to heed. Due to his continuous vandalizing the article was semi protected earlier last week for some time. Now the protection is removed and he is back again. It should be better to block user User talk:144.36.207.230 permanently from editing and keep this article semi protected always. Arjunkrishna90 ( talk) 03:01, 19 June 2016 (UTC) reply

I'd like to point out that Proud User is making a deceptive comment here: He is the one that keeps trying to interfere with the article, and I'm simply trying to put it back to how it was originally. However, he's trying to phrase things to make it look like I'm the one who made the edit. If you check the history of the article, you'll see that I've never made any edits to it at all: I'm simply trying to revert two unjustified edits. Here is a link to the article before Proud User interfered with it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Template:Bernie_Sanders_series&oldid=722822373

He keeps switching out the picture with no justification, and I keep undoing the edit. He's already past the three-revert-rule.
InternetMeme ( talk) 12:33, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply
The image was like that before you changed it (see here), and I said that there needs to be a consensus before it is changed agian. I see nothing "deceptive" about this. The user that made the above comment is also changing the format without explanation.-- Proud User ( talk) 12:35, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply
No, that's a straight up lie: Check the link above. That is the original image, and it's you who changed it. I am simply revertin it to how it was originally. You're trying to make sound like I'm the one changing the image when it's you.
The other edit you seem to be insisting on is removing Sanders's endorsements, on the grounds that it's "consistent". However, I not that you forgot to remove the endorsements from the Hillary Clinton series template.
So, in summary, you want to:
  1. Switch out Sanders's image for a clearly inferior one.
  2. Remove his endorsements.
What is your intention here?
InternetMeme ( talk) 12:43, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Well, this edit seems to say that you were removing consistency (and I went along with it, paying less attention to detail than I should have). I agree that this template should mention endorsements, but not in the place you were putting them. This template should be consistent with Template:Hillary Clinton series. My intentions are to keep consistency, although I must say I didn't realize that you were actually adding the "endorsements" link rather than moving them. However this should be discussed on a different page. -- Proud User ( talk) 12:48, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Vandal user refuses to discuss on talk page. Long cited info being deleted from introduction to further user's genocide denial. Urartu TH ( talk) 10:51, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment This was discussed in the talk page and Urartu_TH simply refuses to listen to reason. He also deceptively makes claims of "genocide denial" when no such thing has occurred anywhere. The issue at hand is that he removes historical facts that I summarized for the article's intro, in order to REPEAT information (using a biased citation from a person with a conflict of interest on the topic) that is already in the body of the article. He's the one doing vandalizing and deleting pertinent information in favor of reducing the quality of the article because his goal is to repeat links to another article that he frequently visits. See exactly what he keeps changing. Note that he has lied about my intentions in order to create an emotional-appeal (this is a fallacy) and has not assumed any good faith of other users. — talk § _Arsenic99_ 17:05, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply
You have twisted the scenario into a convoluted mess. You made the first edit in question here. That edit deleted text about the Armenian Genocide which had been summarizing part of the article just as other information in the body is summarized in the introduction. You've replaced it with information that is not cited and not particularly useful to the article in an attempt to whitewash any mention of the Armenian Genocide in the introduction. I've asked you to speak about this on the talk page before editing any further and continuing to remove the information about the Armenian Genocide from the introduction (which is well-cited, is in the body and has been in introduction as a short stigmatization for a long time without issue) but you have continued to vandalize the page. Come back to the talk page and let's continue discussing this issue with the community. What cannot be done is your continued deletion which began with the edit I've linked here. WP:VD states, in relevant part, Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. You can no longer claim that your edit is being made in good-faith. I've attempted to discuss this with you in the talk page and you've resorted to an edit war while the conversation was still taking place in violation of WP:GF and WP:EW. At this point your actions are pure vandalism. Urartu TH ( talk) 19:47, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Declined The IP edits are good faith and not vandalism (although undoubtedly disruptive).

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The exact same section-blanking vandalism has been done a dozen times in the past month, from a number of different IPs. One IP has been blocked for it, but that did not stop other IPs from being used, nor the original IP from returning once the block was over. There have been no non-blanking IP edits during this time, so semi would not be stopping any active editing. (This seems a clear case of this semi-reason in WP:PROTECTION: "Subject to vandalism or edit-warring where unregistered editors are engaging in IP hopping by using different computers, obtaining new addresses by using dynamic IP allocation, or other address-changing schemes such as IP address spoofing").

General of the Armies

Permanent Semi-protection: This article has experienced a continuous problem with new users or ip addresses who change the article against consensus either due to lack of knowledge about the subject or deliberate vandalism; the most common edit which has been seen for years is the alteration of George Washington's date of rank from 1976 to 1776 [38]. It has almost become a full time job monitoring this article and changing the date back every time it is changed by a new or unregistered user. In addition, there are occasionally far more serious edits which have the potential to start edit wars. The most common of these is altering the article to state that George Washington is a seven star general. A few years ago the edit warring and reverts by new and unregistered users got so bad that there is now a permanent edit notice on the page to avoid these types of changes. If this was an isolated incident or a content dispute, this request would not be made. However, after several years of monitoring this article, it's become pretty clear there is a constant and continuous issue with new or unregistered users editing the article in a controversial way of which 90% of the edits I believe or for no other purpose than to spark a problem. Indefinite semi-protection in this case would solve far more problems than it creates. - O.R. Comms 16:05, 28 June 2016 (UTC) reply

The IP editor has been reverted by me and several other editors on numerous occasions, but still he keeps continuing to make the edits which are highly POV in nature.

This page was also full-protected due to an edit war about a week ago, initially to last until mid-June.

Elders of the Universe

Semi-protection: Childish vandalism from a longtime IP sock vandal who thinks fictional characters are real. See this section in my sandbox for a summary of this. — DangerousJXD ( talk) 08:17, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Declined I looked at the edits and determined they could be good faith; I can understand the article is about something fictional without the word "fictional" having to be there. Sounds like a good copyedit to me. No protection necessary. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:15, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Ritchie333, trust me mate, this is vandalism. The word "fictional" is standard for these sorts of articles if you didn't already know. Removing it over and over and over and over again is vandalism. Many users have tried talking to this user about this over a period of at least two years and the vandal has never said anything. They have acknowledged that they are aware that they have been told to stop making these edits because they have removed posts off the talk pages of the IPs they use. Note that around ten pages have been protected multiple times because of this. Around ten protecting administrators, dozens of reverting users, myself of course, and a few people who participated in a discussion I once started would disagree with your statement that these edits are productive copyediting. There is no way around it, these edits are vandalism. If you haven't already, take at look at the section in my sandbox which I linked you to above. It contains a list of every IP I have seen making this edit (the oldest activity being April 2014), a basic summary of this situation, and a diff to an admin displaying the opposite opinion to yours. — DangerousJXD ( talk) 09:26, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
I'm sorry, but I do not believe this is vandalism, which I define as a deliberate and obvious attempt to make Wikipedia worse. It may be disruptive, against consensus, and annoying, but I don't believe that removing the word "fictional" makes the article obviously worse. Indeed, I would argue it makes it more concise and more readable, which is a good thing, so I'm with the IP on this one. More to the point, there is not enough continual and frequent changes on this article to warrant a protection. If things are as severe as you believe they are, I would recommend starting a thread on WP:ANI instead. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:30, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
That's your opinion. Just know that everybody else who has directly commented on this would disagree with you. — DangerousJXD ( talk) 09:37, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Well, I am with Ritchie333 here; actually I would have said: Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection.. In olden times I would have said: just watchlist and revert; page protection is not the way to go here; much to heavy-handed. Lectonar ( talk) 09:43, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Lectonar, I expected the decline for there not being much activity but I requested anyway because I was told by one of the protecting admins that waiting for three instances of the vandalism rather than one is "overly bureaucratic" ( diff). I can't get over how you both see it as productive copyediting though. You two are literally the only two users – out of dozens who have commented on this – who have not considered this behaviour to be vandalism. It is clear vandalism. Even if you didn't want to use that term, one simply can not argue that these edits are productive. Watching and reverting is generally how I handle this. I usually only request protection when the edit occurs say five times in one day. Again, I requested 'early' this time because I was pretty much told to do so (same diff as linked above). — DangerousJXD ( talk) 09:52, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
You are reading something into my words which I didn't say: I am with Ritchie333 as to declining the request, but as a "nea" (Actually he provided this rationale too: "...there is not enough continual and frequent changes on this article to warrant a protection" . The frequency is just not high enough. Fell free to bring this up at ANI, though. Lectonar ( talk) 09:56, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
I'd rather cut off all my toes with a pair of scissors than spend one minute at ANI. I don't have ten hours spare and it wouldn't achieve anything anyway. It's good to hear that you have some sense in regard to this matter. I'll handle this junk how I have always handled it, revert on the spot, occasionally request page protection. I assume this person isn't stopping anytime soon so I'll likely be playing this game with them until I am no longer active here. — DangerousJXD ( talk) 10:13, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the ping. I added indefinite semi-protection to the article because of all the trouble, which is likely to start up again if it's lifted. I also semi-protected the talk page in 2011, lifted it in 2013, and it was later restored, mostly recently by Ruud Koot. SarahSV (talk) 23:38, 2 June 2016 (UTC) reply
I'd also advice against lifting the semi-protection, given the long history of problematic edits from anonymous users and single-purpose accounts. — Ruud 23:40, 2 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Not unprotected It seems to me that what the requester really wants is more eyes on their edit suggestions. Perhaps they might want to consider using WP:RSN and WP:COIN for broader input toward their specific edit proposals. There doesn't seem to be a benefit from opening up the article to anonymous users and, based on the two comments above, there appears to be a definite downside.-- regentspark ( comment) 00:00, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Opinion polling for the Spanish general election, 2016

Semi-protection: High level of IP disruptive activity. From yesterday, a large amount of IP users of new creation have started to edit the page to remove a sourced opinion poll, without even giving reasons for such a removal. One of them was recently blocked for WP:HARASS. They are seemingly Spanish users coming from the electomania.es page, which, as by the reading of some comments in this page, seem to have started some sort of "attack" against this article to remove this specific opinion poll "for the sake of it", just because they don't like the data it shows. This poll is allegedly an internal party poll from PSOE, but which, unlike other such polls, has been widely published in the main Spanish media (some examples: El Mundo, El País, RTVE, ABC or La Voz de Galicia). It also shows the sample size, only lacking the fieldwork date. As a result, it has enough relevance to be included in Wikipedia, yet it is highly annoying to have a host of IP users to remove it without any justification or any attempt at discussion and even receiving insults from some of them.

Hi, please note that the edits are from neutral and reliable academic sources, are well supported and quite notable in nature and have nothing at all to do with archivist1642's political concerns. Good faith edits should be addressed in good faith, on the talk page. thank you. 64.53.252.50 ( talk) 18:40, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply
The material I deleted was commentary from Cesar Chavez about the phrase "La Raza" and dated from before the time at which this organization used "La Raza" as any part of its name. It was not relevant to this organization and did not belong in this article. There is an article about La Raza that would be appropriate for that content.
Subsequent to that edit, another anonymous user (01:20, 4 June 2016‎ 71.179.244.138 ) went in and changed the content of the article so that my reference no longer supports the content.

I'm not the editor who Archivist1642 is now complaining about - but I will state that the edit he complains about is rather innocuous and can be seen as good faith in that it is an accurate direct translation. It is NOT an edit I support. I'll also note the that Archivist1642's reference in support of his edit is from an article about the name of a building and has nothing whatsoever to do with the organization.

Donald Trump

Edit: I think that the first statement: "Trump has never done drugs, or smoked cigarettes, and has always heeded a warning from his older brother (an alcoholic) to not drink alcohol.[83]" is misleading as the source is quoting Donald Trump directly. This, in my opinion, is a biased citation, to promote the involved person, as it seems like a confirmed fact. My suggestion would be to change it to "Trump claims he has..." as saying "Trump has never done" and "Trump claims he has never done" have completely different meanings, and the source does not confirm the former. In general, as a decent conduct for a wikipedia article, I actually find that this piece of information to be of a psychological nature appeal instead of factual and as so, I regard it irrelevant as an "encyclopedic" entry. Nonetheless, I just ask for the change of the statement, although I also leave here my own personal view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordKaramazov ( talk • contribs) 10:23, 3 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Temporary full protection This page is currently the subject of an Edit Warring Report against user:WelcometoJurassicPark all editors involved with the discussions to reach consensus have refrained from further editing while this process plays out. However the reported editor has continued to edit unrestrained. As such I would appreciate it if the page could be protected until a decision on the Edit Warring Report is made, to prevent further issues. It possibly would also help for once the protection was lifted if this version was restored first which was the last version prior to the report. I know I could do this part myself but I too am refraining from editing the page. Thank you Faendalimas talk 18:55, 4 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Visa requirements for Iranian citizens

Semi-protection: many people in Iran misunderstood what is happening with Armenian visa policy. But the news clearly state the plan to sign a visa waiver was adopted, not the visa waiver itself. Diffs of 3 different users trying to add this info [21] [22] [23] despite the news clearly saying "The government formally approved a draft on visa-free travel between the two neighboring states. It did not specify when the deal will be signed." Now there is no bad faith in these edits, but they are disruptive anyway, so I propose a short term protection until the situation settles, maybe a week or so.

You should be blocked for your attacks on other editors. The rules of grammar are clear here: either form is acceptable (and yes, I have looked). Personally I agree with you - the shorter form is what I was taught and what I'd always use - but the erudite handbooks of grammar support both, and so there's no justification to edit-war over it. Andy Dingley ( talk) 12:51, 6 June 2016 (UTC) reply
OK, @ Andy Dingley:. But then that raises 2 questions:
1. Why were we not taught about the option in school?
2. Even if the changeover is made, then what's the supposed "advantage" of changing it back? 2600:100E:B13C:A526:79FE:B84:EC0F:E80D ( talk) 12:56, 6 June 2016 (UTC) reply
An editor can be simultaneously correct, yet disruptive.
WP faces a huge problem - how to manage the vast range of conflicting opinions of so many editors. So we favour objective sourcing over inclusion of all possible truths (on average, we're better off without something than with things which are unsupportable, even if they turn out to be true). We have WP:ENGVAR to avoid arguments over language variants, even at the cost of less than ideal choice of language. In this case, neither form is definitively wrong (I wish one was, I personally think it's ugly) and so there is no justification to be disruptive over it.
So far your actions of repeated reverts and attacks on other editors put you clearly into the disruptive category. Andy Dingley ( talk) 13:08, 6 June 2016 (UTC) reply
In response to your question 1 above, you will need to go back to your teachers and ask them why they didn't teach you all the possible exceptions/options to the rules. We can speculate on why they didn't teach you the option. One possibility, it is easier to teach one variation of the rule and stick to that rather than trying to make sure students understand multiple variations and might get confused. Another possibility is that the teacher was only taught the one variation and never learned the other options so that is what they taught. You need to back off and accept that you might not know everything. If someone reverts you when you make an edit, calmly ask them why so that you can understand. If you continue down the path you are on I could see you getting blocked. --  GB  fan 13:27, 6 June 2016 (UTC) reply
OK, thanks, Andy and GB. But even if I hadn't made a personal attack, then why is it supposedly "disruptive" to change the punctuation to match what our schools taught? And what "advantage" should there be to returning it back to the previous condition even though that doesn't roll the edit-history "clock" back any? 2600:100E:B127:A8DC:36AA:207A:EB3B:DDFE ( talk) 2:37 pm, Today (UTC+1)

There is also a request for comments on a related project page. Both were initiated by the "IP". That's hardly vandalism.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This article has been getting a ton of vandalism recently, and when I look at every revision since PC was permanently implemented in 2013, a sweeping majority of edits by non-autoconfirmed users (~99%) were reverted as vandalism. I think this should just be upgraded to indefinite semi-protection, since both the long-term history and the lack of constructive edits are there. – Compassionate727 ( T· C) 19:46, 11 June 2016 (UTC) reply

La Sombra (wrestler)

Move protection - In the five days since this wrestler made his debut under a new ring name he's already been moved to Andrade "Cien" Almas twice, contrary to WP:COMMONNAME. He has spent 10 years wrestling in Mexico and Japan as "La Sombra" and 10 minutes wrestling under the new name. Will he with time be more known under his new name? Possibly, but that's Crystal balling. It's a GA article and I would hate to lose that status due to a contend dispute from those that think it should be "current name" not "common name".  MPJ -US  21:49, 13 June 2016 (UTC) reply

According to Atlético's official website: "The midfielder is now playing the Copa América with Argentina's national team and will later travel to Madrid next July to finish the necessary formalities to join the red and white team." He didn't join Atlético yet and the contract is effective in July, so he still is a Benfica player. I'm tired of reverting low effort edits. SLBedit ( talk) 22:22, 16 June 2016 (UTC) reply

List of Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles in 2005

Temporary full protection: Persistent vandalism – Currently semi-protected due to persistent sockpuppetry. The sockmaster has moved on to using sleeper accounts to get around semi-protection and is actively using multiple sleeper accounts across many semi-protected articles to insert false information. Unless an admin feels 30/500 is appropriate (which doesn't have community consensus for use against sockpuppetry yet), full protection is the only thing that will stop the disruption. Since this article is based on 2005, legitimate beneficial edits are rare. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Никита-Родин-2002. ~ Rob Talk 00:48, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Declined I'd like to see this continue on for more than two-hour period before concluding full-protection is truly necessary. The sleeper / autoconfirmed dancing is a lot of work for little benefit. I suspect they'll get over it — MusikAnimal talk 02:19, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply
BU Rob13, what I'm wondering is how Ohlava managed to edit through semi-protection. Autoconfirmed is usually four days and ten edits. SarahSV (talk) 02:20, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply
@ SlimVirgin: The account was created on June 2 and remained as a sleeper until activated earlier today with ten swift edits in the userspace. @ MusikAnimal: Please see the archive of the SPI report. This is not the first time this user has used autoconfirmed accounts to edit through semi-protection, unfortunately, and we've been playing whack-a-mole with this incredibly persistent sneaky vandal for months at this point. This master has been using sleepers for months, especially in the past two weeks since long-term semi-protection began being used widely on relevant articles. This one article may have had a two hour rash of vandalism, but this spans dozens of articles, and this master never stops until technically unable to continue. ~ Rob Talk 02:26, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Rob, thanks, I went to block the account, but it has just been done by someone else. SarahSV (talk) 02:46, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Thanks. That stops it for now at least, but he'll be back within a few days. He hops around IPs on a wide range, so CU isn't even effective at finding sleepers. This is going to wind up at ArbCom in an attempt to get 50/300 authorized for the broad topic area affected by this sockmaster, probably. ~ Rob Talk 02:57, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply
I got the impression that we could use 30/500 if we needed to, but perhaps I misunderstood. I'll have a look around. The alternative is to block the accounts as soon as they appear. SarahSV (talk) 03:30, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Much easier said than done when no admins have these articles in their watchlists. These reports typically sit at AIV for a while as other reports are handled, since admins patrolling AIV don't understand the non-simple vandalism. SPI reports can sit anywhere from an hour to multiple weeks. ~ Rob Talk 03:49, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment Currently being discussed on talk page. --Jules  (Mrjulesd) 23:37, 19 June 2016 (UTC) reply
I'd like to point out that Proud User is making a deceptive comment here: He is the one that keeps trying to interfere with the article, and I'm simply trying to put it back to how it was originally. However, he's trying to phrase things to make it look like I'm the one who made the edit. If you check the history of the article, you'll see that I've never made any edits to it at all: I'm simply trying to revert two unjustified edits. Here is a link to the article before Proud User interfered with it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Template:Bernie_Sanders_series&oldid=722822373

He keeps switching out the picture with no justification, and I keep undoing the edit. He's already past the three-revert-rule.
InternetMeme ( talk) 12:33, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply
The image was like that before you changed it (see here), and I said that there needs to be a consensus before it is changed agian. I see nothing "deceptive" about this. The user that made the above comment is also changing the format without explanation.-- Proud User ( talk) 12:35, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply
No, that's a straight up lie: Check the link above. That is the original image, and it's you who changed it. I am simply revertin it to how it was originally. You're trying to make sound like I'm the one changing the image when it's you.
The other edit you seem to be insisting on is removing Sanders's endorsements, on the grounds that it's "consistent". However, I not that you forgot to remove the endorsements from the Hillary Clinton series template.
So, in summary, you want to:
  1. Switch out Sanders's image for a clearly inferior one.
  2. Remove his endorsements.
What is your intention here?
InternetMeme ( talk) 12:43, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Well, this edit seems to say that you were removing consistency (and I went along with it, paying less attention to detail than I should have). I agree that this template should mention endorsements, but not in the place you were putting them. This template should be consistent with Template:Hillary Clinton series. My intentions are to keep consistency, although I must say I didn't realize that you were actually adding the "endorsements" link rather than moving them. However this should be discussed on a different page. -- Proud User ( talk) 12:48, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Vandal user refuses to discuss on talk page. Long cited info being deleted from introduction to further user's genocide denial. Urartu TH ( talk) 10:51, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment This was discussed in the talk page and Urartu_TH simply refuses to listen to reason. He also deceptively makes claims of "genocide denial" when no such thing has occurred anywhere. The issue at hand is that he removes historical facts that I summarized for the article's intro, in order to REPEAT information (using a biased citation from a person with a conflict of interest on the topic) that is already in the body of the article. He's the one doing vandalizing and deleting pertinent information in favor of reducing the quality of the article because his goal is to repeat links to another article that he frequently visits. See exactly what he keeps changing. Note that he has lied about my intentions in order to create an emotional-appeal (this is a fallacy) and has not assumed any good faith of other users. — talk § _Arsenic99_ 17:05, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply
You have twisted the scenario into a convoluted mess. You made the first edit in question here. That edit deleted text about the Armenian Genocide which had been summarizing part of the article just as other information in the body is summarized in the introduction. You've replaced it with information that is not cited and not particularly useful to the article in an attempt to whitewash any mention of the Armenian Genocide in the introduction. I've asked you to speak about this on the talk page before editing any further and continuing to remove the information about the Armenian Genocide from the introduction (which is well-cited, is in the body and has been in introduction as a short stigmatization for a long time without issue) but you have continued to vandalize the page. Come back to the talk page and let's continue discussing this issue with the community. What cannot be done is your continued deletion which began with the edit I've linked here. WP:VD states, in relevant part, Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. You can no longer claim that your edit is being made in good-faith. I've attempted to discuss this with you in the talk page and you've resorted to an edit war while the conversation was still taking place in violation of WP:GF and WP:EW. At this point your actions are pure vandalism. Urartu TH ( talk) 19:47, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Declined The IP edits are good faith and not vandalism (although undoubtedly disruptive). The alternatives would be to full-protect the entire article (to give a level playing field), boomerang block you and semi-protect the page (for the same reason), or do nothing. I'm going for the latter option. If you still get problems, go to WP:AN3. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:05, 21 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The exact same section-blanking vandalism has been done a dozen times in the past month, from a number of different IPs. One IP has been blocked for it, but that did not stop other IPs from being used, nor the original IP from returning once the block was over. There have been no non-blanking IP edits during this time, so semi would not be stopping any active editing. (This seems a clear case of this semi-reason in WP:PROTECTION: "Subject to vandalism or edit-warring where unregistered editors are engaging in IP hopping by using different computers, obtaining new addresses by using dynamic IP allocation, or other address-changing schemes such as IP address spoofing").

General of the Armies

Permanent Semi-protection: This article has experienced a continuous problem with new users or ip addresses who change the article against consensus either due to lack of knowledge about the subject or deliberate vandalism; the most common edit which has been seen for years is the alteration of George Washington's date of rank from 1976 to 1776 [38]. It has almost become a full time job monitoring this article and changing the date back every time it is changed by a new or unregistered user. In addition, there are occasionally far more serious edits which have the potential to start edit wars. The most common of these is altering the article to state that George Washington is a seven star general. A few years ago the edit warring and reverts by new and unregistered users got so bad that there is now a permanent edit notice on the page to avoid these types of changes. If this was an isolated incident or a content dispute, this request would not be made. However, after several years of monitoring this article, it's become pretty clear there is a constant and continuous issue with new or unregistered users editing the article in a controversial way of which 90% of the edits I believe or for no other purpose than to spark a problem. Indefinite semi-protection in this case would solve far more problems than it creates. - O.R. Comms 16:05, 28 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @ Sro23:, if you're getting persistent grief from this across articles, and you haven't done so, I'd consider a thread on WP:ANI requesting a rangeblock.

Talk:Electronic harassment

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Sockpuppetry related to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Beautifulpeoplelikeyou. Hopping around to multiple IPs, so semi-protection is the way to go. There's been one month of semi-protection in the past, so an extended period of semi-protection is appropriate. ~ Rob Talk 12:49, 30 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. As it is an article talk-page, I am somewhat loath to make it longer. If any ohter admin wants to protect for a longer period, go ahead. Lectonar ( talk) 12:51, 30 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Battle of al-Hasakah (June–August 2015) as well as four other articles

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. An anonymous IP editor has been removing sourced information and its sources and replacing it with wording that is ether: contradictory to the sources he removed; is highly favorable to one particular beligerent over the others (ISIL in this case); or is per a source that is unverifiable/questionable (pro-ISIL). The IP editor has been reverted by me and several other editors on numerous occasions, but still he keeps continuing to make the edits which are highly POV in nature. PS the Manbij article had also several other IP POV-pushers that have been regularly reverted by other editors. EkoGraf ( talk) 05:02, 30 June 2016 (UTC) reply
