[edit]- 211.197.241.73 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – On Vladimir Komarov (diff): vandalism after final warning; account is evidently a spambot or a compromised account. This person was doing the same thing earlier today on several different IPs - all of which are currently blocked. Gommeh (talk/contribs) 18:06, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

[edit]- Tmfaustin (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. I've nominated both of these user's articles for AfD due to notability concerns, however I wanted to also report this user to WP:UAA. Although the user has made these edits a long time ago (during the time period of 2014-2019), the user has only edited Wikipedia about themselves/their non-profit organization titled The Miracle Foundation (which suits their username, Tmfaustin). Their user page also further proves this. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 23:19, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
Stale: This account has not been used in the last 2–3 weeks. WormEater13, we don't bother to block accounts that have not edited since 2019. Cullen328 (talk) 00:15, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Ips.delhi (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. IPS means Indian Police Service. UNITED BLASTERS (talk) 16:26, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Niallhoran2024 (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a disruptive username. Impersonating a notable living person Niall Horan, and adding clearly libelous statements about this BLP to their user page. Referentis (talk) 18:15, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for increase in protection level
[edit]Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Ongoing disruptive editing and edit warring. POV statements in lead about Alawite involvement with Assad regime. PlotinusEnjoyer (talk) 17:59, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- Declined, not seeing vandalism by new or unregistered users Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:44, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – LTA Creating abuse. ~ Junior5a (Talk) Cont 00:52, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Declined protection/blacklisting are unlikely to be effective here Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:49, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – IP LTA Creating abuse. ~ Junior5a (Talk) Cont 00:54, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- See also User talk:IanDBeacon/Sandbox 15, User talk:IanDBeacon/Sandbox 16, User talk:IanDBeacon/Sandbox 17, User talk:IanDBeacon/Sandbox 18. I suggest salting any page that contains "User talk:IanDBeacon/Sandbox" in the title. ApexParagon (talk) 01:02, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- I would agree with that. I'm not certain whether it would be filtered or logged as disallowed, but it appears similar to the content found on
User talk:IanDBeacon/Sandbox X. It seems to be a case of attempting to misuse it, as the message appears to be copied and pasted or contains inappropriate material. ~ Junior5a (Talk) Cont 01:19, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- I would agree with that. I'm not certain whether it would be filtered or logged as disallowed, but it appears similar to the content found on
- Declined protection/blacklisting are unlikely to be effective here Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:50, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – I am aware that talk pages are rarely protected, but I think it is justified in this case. There has been a string of users coming along to propose the same change of pronouns on this page over and over, and occasionally sprinkling in transphobic rhetoric as well. GraziePrego (talk) 03:42, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – IP users consistently adding information with only primary sources, not making any attempts to find reliable third-party sources to prove notability. –WPA (talk) 03:56, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:59, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: GENSEX topic area. GnocchiFan (talk) 07:18, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Wanted to add that there seems to be edit warring happening in the lead from IP accounts right now. LunaHasArrived (talk) 13:03, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- I also suspect many of these brand new accounts are sock puppets. Protection is needed HenrikHolen (talk) 13:41, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 18:26, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: GENSEX topic area. GnocchiFan (talk) 07:19, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. CNMall41 (talk) 07:32, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
User(s) blocked. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:35, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Edit warring by new accounts, possible socks[1][2][3] of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Tajik Sohrabs or meatpuppetry. Mann Mann (talk) 07:36, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Declined let's let the SPI play out Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:38, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry Mann Mann. I see there's no active SPI. Could you please file one? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:46, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Lots of LTA ongoing, courtesy of WP:LTA/REVERSI. Magitroopa (talk) 07:44, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Entranced98 (talk) 10:57, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Repeatedly recreated by an IP and a user. Bored kittycat (talk) 14:05, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Declined I'll put it on my watch list. Blocking draft creation isn't as critical as article creation, and this acts as honeypot for the spammer, who otherwise may try an alternative spelling if blocked. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:57, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: IP vandalism. The same person appears to keep making disruptive edits under changing IP addresses, at a too broad a range that makes an IP block inadmissible. DracaenaGuianensis (talk) 14:39, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- User(s) partially blocked: 2600:1000::/21 (talk · contribs) (from Kerianne Flynn). One month. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:53, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP keeps on changing sourced content [4] [5] and makes up fake 2025 estimates suing 2011 census data [6]. The page was protected before for the same type of census related vandalism/disruptive edits, so likely the person. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:01, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- User(s) partially blocked: 2409:40f2::/34 (talk · contribs) (from Ballari). One month. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:48, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Edit warring - requesting page protection to try and get people to use the talk page instead, since reverting edits isn't working. Gommeh (talk/contribs) 16:05, 23 April 2025 (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.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 16:11, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- User(s) blocked: Hellonerds12321 (talk · contribs) blocked by PhilKnight. 24 hours for edit warring. 205.155.62.160's leave of absence rather longer. Favonian (talk) 17:43, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: https://old.reddit.com/r/wikipedia/comments/1k5ysjv/former_ambassador_harald_malmgrens_wikipedia_page/
Canvassed, there seems to be some no-good stuff going on. JayCubby 16:11, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:39, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – revert vandalism from multiple ips. they are/should be blocked but this would help as a safeguard. loserhead (talk) 18:24, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- User(s) blocked: 2a00:1370:81a8:419f::/64 (talk · contribs) blocked by Jake Wartenberg. Pending changes protection appears to be coping. Favonian (talk) 18:28, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.
- To find out the username of the admin who protected the page, click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page," which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
- Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
- Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
- If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page, please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected, please use the section below.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
The page is not authentic and a subject of deletion: The protection is no longer necessary because the page should be deleted because of lack of sources and no citations in front of great false claims. Thereby, I request that the protection should be reduced and hence the page should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaurya Singh Sikarwar (talk • contribs) 18:39, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Raja Kam Dev Sikarwar is not protected. Favonian (talk) 18:44, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.
- Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among
{{Edit protected}},{{Edit template-protected}},{{Edit extended-protected}}, or{{Edit semi-protected}}to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed. - Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}template should be used. - Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
- If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
- This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

"Do you want to take a survey?"
[edit]On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.
On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.
Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.

Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers
[edit]Up to Dec 16, 2003, all the edits at these anonymous id's were mine (59 edits):
- User:64.152.154.140

More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.
