Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Disruptive IP-editing, including adding crap-sources to a BLP and repeated submissions that wastes time. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:34, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And fwiw, there seems to be a Commons-aspect to it:[1][2]. Ping @Yann if you wish to comment. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:37, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the account who ulpoaded files deleted as copyvios, also added them to the draft: Special:Contributions/XarrosGuy124. Yann (talk) 14:56, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. @Gråbergs Gråa Sång: As far as I can tell, the primary editor making additions recently has not been warned about their edits to the article. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 15:51, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: IP vandalism and POV pushing. See [3] for example. Borgenland (talk) 09:08, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Offending IP restored WP:NPA comment on talk. See [4]. Borgenland (talk) 17:09, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
More targeted harrassment: [5] and [6]. Borgenland (talk) 18:07, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: History of unregistered and sockpuppet re-addition/modification of section "Former airlines and destinations" which does not meet standards for inclusion (WP:NOTDIR), and in its current form takes up 22k bytes and is largely unsourced. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kai+Tak+Airport&date-range-to=&tagfilter=mw-undo&action=history Transgenderoriole (talk) 09:47, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP vandalism and to prevent adding poorly sourced content. This party is popular now so risk of adding misinformation. Niasoh (talk) 10:07, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Spate of BLP-violating vandalism from IP users over the last few days. AntiDionysius (talk) 11:35, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected Ymblanter (talk) 21:15, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Question: @Ymblanter: I was about to protect this for a few days (possibly a week), but you got to it first. Just curious: why did you go with indefinite protection? The page has only previously had several pending changes protections, but it's been several years since the previous one. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:26, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Quinlan: I was indeed in doubt, since the article was protected for a month and then for a year between 2021 and 2022, so that the indefinite protection was in order in 2024. On the other hand, if I were a protecting administrator back in 2021, I would likely not escalate the second ever protection to a year. I have now lowered the protection to 10 days, let us see whether it would be enough, and if not, a long-term protection will be in order. Ymblanter (talk) 21:32, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Consistent edit warring by Vofa (talk · contribs). Beshogur (talk) 11:47, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. It should not be protected. Check Bashkirs talk page. @Beshogur is WP:NOTHERE Vofa (talk) 11:53, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Declined, edit-warring by one user against everyone might be a reason for a block (and an ANI request has been open) but should not be a reason for protection. Ymblanter (talk) 21:06, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing by IP user Skteosk (talk) 15:47, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism throughout article’s entire history. 2600:100C:B0AA:C978:123:AC11:3670:35FB (talk) 20:03, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected Ymblanter (talk) 21:03, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent disruptive edits and warring. ZimZalaBim talk 21:08, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 21:13, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: High level of IP vandalism, such as removal of sourced content and changes to Malaysia. Ckfasdf (talk) 21:31, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Continued disruption by IPS [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], and other extended confirmed violations. The article should be EC protected per WP:GS/AA and to avoid further disruption. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 21:32, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
