Lego Universe

Reason: There is a person out there trying to add links to their own websites alongside removing credible information regarding the Darkflame Universe server emulator and history behind it. Please reach out if further information/clarification is needed. Emosewamc (talk) 05:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—Talk to my owner:Online 05:46, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
    An edit war was inadvertently started due to trying to put the wiki page back in the state it was before another user was adding links to their own websites, which is impersonating The LEGO Group and the LEGO Universe game. Please reconsider locking of the page. Emosewamc (talk) 05:54, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Havana syndrome

Reason: Edit warring and even disagreements over what is the last stable version. So I ask for an admin to protect it and reset it to the last stable version. Slatersteven (talk) 17:58, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

I was going to come here earlier this morning, but I got hopeful thinking issues had maybe settled. I've mostly been watching this from noticeboards and trying to keep content discussion on the rails with little luck too.
First thing is I don't think there's a stable version in this case in terms of timeline. Even outside of "normal" content disputes that end up here, there's discussion on the talk page from more outside editors on that on the talk page. That's in part because a lot of uncontested improvements were made where just reverting back to an older version causes more problems, so it's probably better to go with WP:THEWRONGVERSION.
The underlying problem at this article that needs to be addressed though is that when content has been removed, editors have been repeatedly ignoring and violating WP:ONUS policy. When content is removed for legitimate reason, you can't say "no consensus for removal" and use that to justify your own edit warring to blanket revert. If it is locked in at the current version, that would at least discourage the ONUS violating and PP would force those editors to actually get consensus. I don't approve of everything in that version, but it's a very workable starting point to work on getting consensus for content to add for all the parties involved. That version at least gets things down to more of a base version. KoA (talk) 18:11, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
You are requesting full protection on the current version? For how long? EdJohnston (talk) 18:17, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Not sure if you meant Slater or me in your threading, but the current version would be a more base version that doesn't throw out all the uncontested article improvements. I'd say a week minimum full protection is probably need just to get people focusing hashing out content on the talk page. Neither of Slater or I had any luck getting people to cut back on blanket restorations. KoA (talk) 18:34, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
I would dislike any reset that lets either side get what it wants, neutrality would be pissing both sides off. Any noncontroversial material or tags can always be reinserted. Slatersteven (talk) 18:39, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Fully protected – Two weeks per User:KoA's analysis. If anyone believes the article has been protected on the wrong version, please make an edit request on the talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 18:42, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, I was typing this before you made your comment, so I just wanted to note that it appears even people who don't like the current version agree with just starting with it. Hopefully that does the trick. KoA (talk) 18:47, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

List of EastEnders characters

Reason: Since the page protection expired, there have been multiple IP edits from various IPs who keep vandalising the page. Most of these edits have been reverted. Page needs full protection once again, ideally without an ending date. RM-Taylor (talk) 18:22, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
