Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Invictus Games[edit]

Reason: Request temporary semi-protection. For the past few weeks, and after any announcement with this Foundation, vandalism and/sockpuppetry occurs on these and related pages. The editing with unreliable or inaccurate sources make it difficult to read and lead to poor editing of the page Cibrian209 (talk) 15:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I've reviewed the edit history of the article, and there's a lot of suspicious editing from new accounts. ECP may be necessary, but I'm on the fence, so I'll leave the decision to another administrator. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:59, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Middle Belt[edit]

Reason: Unregistered and new editors editing page without a proper understanding of the subject matter. Kambai Akau (talk) 20:58, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:15, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doug Davis (businessman)[edit]

Reason: Repeat of of vandalism an antisemitic bent KnittingQueenKY (talk) 21:02, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I've warned the editor. If they continue, please report them to WP:ANI. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Southern Kaduna[edit]

Reason: Unseasoned editors with poor knowledge of the area attempting to vandalism page. Kambai Akau (talk) 21:04, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of United States presidential assassination attempts and plots[edit]

Reason: Breaking news on the topic will likely lead to many edits with conflicting information 50.35.75.176 (talk) 22:30, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:39, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Already protected by administrator Elli. It looks like the level of disruption increased. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Security incidents involving Donald Trump[edit]

Reason: Donald Trump attacked a rally. Requesting ECP as part of American politics sanctions. Ovioas,wo (talk) 22:53, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. The article is already semi-protected and that seems to be sufficient right now. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:36, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 assassination attempt of Donald Trump[edit]

Reason: High vandalism. High political. Post-1992 ArbCom protection needed. Page already admin-move protected, but somehow was not even EC protected. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 22:55, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it only semi protected please make it extended confirmed protected 24.115.255.37 (talk) 22:57, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done. Article is protected at the current location. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Trump[edit]

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Alleged assassination attempt. We may need some time to sort through this, and then will need to return it to ECP. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:56, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Protecting it would be a bit premature at this point. The article is already ECP. Let's try issuing some warnings if needed. We're dealing with EC editors. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:59, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of United States presidential assassination attempts and plots[edit]

Reason: Already seeing higher levels of IP vandalism at this page. – TCMemoire 23:04, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rock Machine[edit]

Reason:: Conflict of interest editing. This editor who only edits the Rock Machine article admits to being a Rock Machine member here [1] and shows all the signs of treating Wikipedia like a battleground. --A.S. Brown (talk) 23:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. This is better suited for WP:ANI. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:35, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 shooting at a Donald Trump rally[edit]

Reason: Requesting extended confirmed protection to counter vandalism. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 23:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate 24.115.255.37 (talk) 23:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that there has been a bunch of vandalism on the article, and we don't tend to block preventatively. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 23:21, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I declined to increase the protection level earlier, but the article started getting more problematic edits from autoconfirmed editors such as [2] and [3] so it seemed appropriate to ECP it under WP:CT/AP. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:29, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Those edits aren't exactly vandalism. And I do think that six months is quite long all things considered, especially if the only basis for doing so are the sorts of edits that you've cited (which are not optimal, but appear to be good faith). — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:51, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Extended confirmed protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Logged as enforcement for WP:CT/AP. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:24, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:2024 shooting at a Donald Trump rally[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: A bit of an IAR situation, but could be good until the dust settles, per an IP on the page. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 23:47, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Already protected by administrator Fuzheado. ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 23:49, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Already protected by administrator Fuzheado. @Fuzheado: Could you please shorten the edit protection duration from indefinite to something shorter, like a week or a month, as per WP:PREEMPTIVE? Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll match the 6 months of the ECP on the article though folks may want to lift it sooner. - Fuzheado | Talk 00:07, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Respectfully, the only way for any non-autoconfirmed user to possibly participate on the page, including in the form of move requests, is to allow them to make edits to the page. I think that a six-month ECP on the article is too long, and also that a six month talk page semiprotection is not proportional to the disruption that has occurred. This is particularly concerning, given that the protecting administrator is is an active participant on the substance of discussions on that talk page; I don't think that we should be making protections of pages where we are actively involved. I would urge Fuzheado to reduce the length of the semi-protection to no more than one week. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:44, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Red-tailed hawk: I agree about the duration of the talk page protection. Regarding the article protection, which I made as an uninvolved administrator, I would have used a shorter duration if it seemed remotely viable. Also, six months is a common duration for WP:CT/AP enforcement. Reviewing the 2024 log, there have only been three protections (not counting full protection) shorter than six months and they were all three months long. Regards. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:15, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Toretsk[edit]

Indefinite Extended confirmed protection: WP:RUSUKR sanction enforcement; obviously falls under the sanctions. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 01:36, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chaubisi Rajya[edit]

Reason: ongoing vandalism 103.29.114.44 (talk) 02:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. You might consider registering a personal account so you can watchlist the article. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:24, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
