Thomas Matthew Crooks

Semi-protection: A few months have passed, and this article could benefit from allowing newer users to improve it. Disruption from semi-confirmed users is low-risk at this point. DarmaniLink (talk) 18:00, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Not unprotected. As an Arbitration Enforcement action, this cannot be unprotected via a request here. See WP:AE for information on how to appeal. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 18:06, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects

Reason: The page was protected due to valid concerns on sockpuppetry. However, Articles for Creation by its very nature is designed for "any editor" to request articles (and by extension, redirects). I think there should be a warning on watching for sock behavior, but that's beyond the scope of this decrease request. @NinjaRobotPirate: added the page protection just a few hours ago as of writing this. LR.127 (talk) 18:16, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Not unprotected. The protection is short-term, expiring tomorrow. Short term semiprotection is appropriate to prevent disruption. We occasionally protect article talk pages for the same reason, which are also intended for "any editor". ~Anachronist (talk) 18:30, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Somali Civil War

Permanent extended-confirmed protection Contentious topic, fits well under WP:CT/HORN. Back and forth edit warring stretching back to multiple months.

Rizwan Ahmed (civil servant)

Reason: This article has faced ongoing disruptions by IP users for several months. They repeatedly damage the infobox template and add duplicate parameters. Since there are no significant daily updates needed for this person's life, using edit requests would be a more efficient solution for everyone involved. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 13:54, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Please enforce WP:CT/IPA. IanDBeacon (talk) 02:18, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 04:09, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Jason Momoa

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Previous protection applied 29 June for 3 months. The day after it expired (today), "Nicolle A. Morea" began adding her "marriage" back. Please apply at least another 3 months, if not longer; apparently the vandal has a long attention span. Schazjmd (talk) 20:28, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

January 6 United States Capitol attack

Reason: Because it needs updating as the evidence now shows this was a directed government plan and President Trump and his supporters did NOT intend and insurrection but were led on by government operatives to enter the capitol building. Its all on video and government records as is the General Milley's testimony that the President requested National Guard help well in advance of 6 Jan. 2605:59C8:4300:1308:2076:C89B:A86F:2B43 (talk) 20:17, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Even if this were true (it's not), why would that merit unprotection? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 04:55, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Declined. This request demonstrates clearly why the talk page is semiprotected. Edit requests can be made at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit, in the format "change X to Y" with reliable sources cited. Any other kind of edit request will be rejected. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:26, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Golden Retriever

Reason: Repeated vandalism. I requested a downgrade previously as the article had semi-protection since it had been protected since 2011 and such long protection seemed excessive for the article. It seems I was unfortunately proven wrong. A handful of productive IP edits have come but the majority of recent edits are vandalism (or reversion of vandalism) Traumnovelle (talk) 07:55, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Unprotection: Disruptive edits, and all edits in general actually, are extremely sparse. The 2 most recent disruptive edit were on 6 June and 15 May. Before then would be 29 Feb and 25 Jan. I think the sparse amount of vandalism allows unprotection. TheWikiToby (talk) 19:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Couldn't contact the protecting admin btw (@Samsara) since they've been inactive since 2021. TheWikiToby (talk) 19:28, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
That's because it's getting caught in the edit filter. The most recent attempts were in August, and they tried three times in under a minute. The vandalism is not "extremely sparse" just because the filters might be catching some of it. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 05:02, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
Not unprotected. Even if we don't count what was blocked by the filter, there have been ten reverts of problematic edits in the last year, and that's too many for me to be comfortable unprotecting, especially given how unintrusive pending-changes is.

Allan Lichtman

Reason: A month or so ago we had a problem where Allan Lichtman told his followers to go edit his pages to remove critical material. He has continued to agitate about Wikipedia and his followers have been reverting the pages in contravention to the talk pages again though I do not know if he said anything about it in the last week. I did my best to remove vandalism or content editing against the talk page consensus and redirect them there, where the issues were resolved months ago. I do not think the pages need full protection, but blocking unregistered users may help, as that seems to be the root of the problem on all "sides" (both critics and support). This is for both his main page and the The Keys to the White House page. As far as I can tell I got it back to where it was before someone started editing everything again but I will check. One of the editors has a user name matching the name of his wife. Caraturane (talk) 21:12, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

I apologize I flipped the pages, the edits are occurring on The Keys to the White House page today, but semi-protecting both is probably most practical given the apparent conflict of interest edits. Caraturane (talk) 21:19, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

There is absolutely no reason to remove the content or their sources beyond whitewashing the party. This individual has been disruptively editing Syrian Social Nationalist Party for quite some time, and it's clear they're trying to seek to protect their version.

Reason: Hey fallow moderators, Straightforwardly jump to the topic so Mobilisers potentially keep abducting the article on a mutual purpose of WP:POV with seriousness of WP:CASTE sanction so look there i provide the summary if you are willing to revert the the older version before this allegedly so called vandal LubanaPB02 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) make it sure source still attributing to be previous perimeter with Sandhawalia Jats and Sidhu you can clearly figure it out in rest of periferal in revision only without any expertise Supreme~limitless (talk) 22:49, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Gotitbro (talk) 01:23, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

@Gotitbro: Could you please clarify which specific recent edits are vandalism? (Other administrators: Please feel free to resolve this request.) Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:07, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
The page has faced serious WP:CASTE based disruption by multiple IPs (see the recent reverts by different editors and the edits further post that). Gotitbro (talk) 03:39, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
@Gotitbro: Please link specific edits. To avoid going back and forth on this request, please also explain why each edit is disruptive (e.g., why an edit is caste-related disruption). Thank you. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:20, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
@Daniel Quinlan: [8], [9], [10] (this edit also disparages the Gurjar caste): The CASTE sanctions cover disruptive and dubious insertions and edits related to various caste groups in India. The same is happening here with various IP users (likely socks, as caste based sock disruption has severely increased on enwiki in recent years), using non-RS sources, inserting stuff related to Rajput, Gurjar [the latter derogatorily] into the lead/article which are also a violation of WP:ETHNICITY [see also WP:CASTEID].

Thanks for this, @Untamed1910. Pinging Alexeyevitch, Canterbury Tail, Knitsey, Pickersgill-Cunliffe, Frost, ScottishFinnishRadish, Mackensen: all of you were among those reverting that IP. They created 19 sections over the course of three hours with the same off-topic accusation against an editor. Next time, if you've got the tools, please semi the noticeboard. If you don't, please don't wait until it's already been reverted a dozen times before posting here. (RFPP requests are very easy in Twinkle, which you can enable in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets if you haven't already.)
Also, thank you for keeping an eye on Wikipedia. Most of these were reverted within a minute or even less, and I really appreciate it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:39, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
I just don't know if protection works in this case. I can certainly ask for protection as soon as they start, but they just move on to another noticeboard.

2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon

I would like to request that a map of ground controlled by Israel/Lebanon/Hezbollah be added to the article. I know that the invasion has only just begun and that there may be more time needed for reliable data, but we should look for whatever information we have at the moment and see if we can add this to give readers a better understanding of how the invasion is unfolding. LordOfWalruses (talk) 00:59, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Not done This board is for requests for specific edits (ie: change text, add text, remove text, add/remove existing image), not to request someone actually create content to be included. As you don't have an actual map to request to be included, there isn't anything we can do. I would also note that maps for rapidly developing situations are typically not done anyway, as they are out of date as fast as they are created, plus they are often contentious, meaning many editors would disagree with inclusion, so not something we can just pop in without a full discussion on the article talk page.
