Survivor Series: WarGames (2024)

Reason: I've previously asked for protection for this page here and was told to come back if more issues occured. Even though it's semi-protected it is still being contantly disruptied. I'm asking for extended confirmed protection not indefinite but at least for a month, maybe a bit after just in case they disrupt the article after the event has concluded. ] If you need any more evidence to confirm anything please let me know in the reply. Lemonademan22 (talk) 15:02, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Some of the other users you've reverted recently are also extended-confirmed; they wouldn't be affected. Are their edits the ones that you are referring to? Daniel Case (talk) 04:18, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

15.ai

Reason: High level of edit warring on semi-protected article. In addition, there seems to be a high level of COI edits from users who previously engaged in a pattern of disruptive edits. Despite previous discussions about notability, the same issues continue to resurface, creating an unproductive cycle of content removal and restoration. The editors' actions appear to be WP:BATTLEGROUND behavior rather than constructive editing. (see Misplaced Pages:Good article reassessment/15.ai/1).

I plan to clean up the article after it has been protected, as per WP:BOLD. HackerKnownAs (talk) 23:27, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Question: So you want extended-confirmed protection? Daniel Case (talk) 04:28, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Yes, that would be good, especially if the protection can be added indefinitely (since this article has been extended-confirmed protected multiple times and it still sees a large amount of vandalism and edit warring to this day). Out of curiosity, is it also possible to add a protection against specific users that have been participating in WP:BATTLEGROUND behavior rather than constructive editing? HackerKnownAs (talk) 14:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
No, but we have Misplaced Pages:Partial blocks which, imho, are somewhat less used than they should be. Lectonar (talk) 14:35, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
I see, thanks. Specifically, I've noticed a disproportionately large amount of nonconstructive edits (some blatantly violating WP:YESPOV and accusing editors of violating WP:COI with no evidence) from User:BrocadeRiverPoems, a relatively new Misplaced Pages editor who seems to be more concerned with arguing the legitimacy of previous editors than constructively editing the article (see: the lengthy discussion at Misplaced Pages:Good article reassessment/15.ai/1). I suggest a partial block over the participants of this edit war on this article, but an extended-confirmed protection should do the trick as well. HackerKnownAs (talk) 17:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Changing the budget and box office without providing reliable sources. Charliehdb (talk) 13:01, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Aksaray Malaklisi

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Repeated addition of unsourced content, either protection or some kind of block is needed (am involved so can take no action myself). Thank you,. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:50, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Hopefully another sock won't pop up. --Ahecht (TALK

List of serving generals of the Bangladesh Army

Reason: A new user has been making repeated incorrect edits, which is causing confusion. Please consider enabling protection on the page temporarily to maintain accuracy. EngrShakamal (talk) 14:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 14:37, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Goodnightmush 15:26, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

NA-79 Gujranwala-III

Reason: The article has faced ongoing disruptions since August, involves election results related to living individuals. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 14:37, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. No previous protection history. BusterD (talk) 16:33, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
@BusterD Two days is too less, should be at least 6 months, they have been disrupting the articles for few months now. They are going to take a two days break anyway. See more here for background. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 17:11, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Done – Now it is. Favonian (talk) 17:20, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Vietnamese irredentism

Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Persistent edits by socks of Belugajdm, see SPI. Could do with 30/500 rather than semi. OXYLYPSE (talk) 14:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Ismail al-Faruqi

Reason: Renewing a request for semi-protection for Ismail al-Faruqi and a set of pages related to him due to chronic sockpuppetry and IP edit warring. Since the last request was declined, these pages have seen daily (and sometimes multiple daily) attempts by WP:LOUTSOCK IPs to restore material that was added by proven sockpuppets and removed pursuant to the sockpuppetry policy. (See SPI page.) In addition to Ismail al-Faruqi and for the same reason, I am renewing my request for semi-protection for:

Thank you! Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:45, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Kash Patel

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – ip users and users with low edit counts are doing bad faith edits or are making edits thinking that they are doing the right thing but they are removing valid information

there is also ongoing edit wars on this page thats also another reason. best regards, Paytonisboss (talk) 15:02, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Kanguva

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism as the film has just been released and has become the subject of a lot of discussion online.

Qajar-Wahhabi War

Reason: Hi, I'm Nuraddin historys13, I've created a page on Misplaced Pages called Qajar-Wahhabi War in Simple English, but I see that this page is currently experiencing an intense change war, with different users constantly creating disputes over the content of the page. This prevents the page from being edited in an accurate and impartial manner and jeopardises the quality of the page. Please take this page under protection immediately. In order for the page to be edited in a neutral, reliable and accurate manner, only experienced and trusted users should edit the page. Otherwise, this change war could get even worse. Thank you in advance for your help. Nuraddin historys13 (talk) 16:22, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 16:43, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

2024 Ramyah clashes

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:CT/AI. Skitash (talk) 16:35, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Malayalam

Reason: Yet again high level of reverts on this page in an attempt to platform a fringe view as mainstream. I suspect from the same accounts and anonymous IPs. Requesting some longer page protection for this page in light of previous page protections repeatedly failing after time expiration. Thank you Metta79 (talk) 16:46, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Reason: IP vandalism following Site's purchase of Infowars Yes I am a nerd -XCBRO172 (How could you tell?) 16:58, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of four days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 17:00, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Malabar Muslims

Temporary semi-protection: Edit warring / content dispute. Edit war has sprung up over the phrasing of several paragraphs in the article. ItTollsForThee (talk) 17:02, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Battle of Orsha

Reason: High level IP vandalism + WP:LIE Dushnilkin (talk) 17:03, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Kingda Ka

Reason: The ride's closure was announced this morning, and many editors (including quite a few IP editors) have jumped in to change things to the past tense. Since the structure still stands, and information about specific plans for its future is still sparse (see what happened to the very similar ride Top Thrill 2, which is owned by the same company), I changed the tense from "was" to "is a decommissioned...", but this has been reverted several times by different users. I started a talk page in an attempt to come to a consensus, but it hasn't gotten any engagement yet. ZLima12 (talk) 17:24, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Disruptive editing by semi-confirmed users; not adhering to the existing talk page consensus. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 17:33, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
