Cushitic-speaking peoples[edit]

Reason: IP editor & another editor have been edit-warring for eleven days. I encouraged them to discuss on Talk. IP editor is not happy with input of other editors & has returned to edit warring. Pathawi (talk) 01:33, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked: 2.26.151.114 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. from the article for a month. They have also been alerted to CTOPS and a CTOPS notice under ARBHORN left on the talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 18:58, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of characters in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai[edit]

Reason: Indefinite Semi-Protection: persistent vandalism since previous protections expired, constant tampering with main cast Imsaneikigai (talk) 10:09, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protected for a period of three weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Doing this again since some of the warring editors are autoconfirmed. Daniel Case (talk) 19:03, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Indian general election[edit]

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Enable ECP until atleast 5th June 2024 as editing is being made on predictions. Thewikizoomer (talk) 12:14, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please enforce WP:CT/IPA IanDBeacon (talk) 14:53, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. "Editing is being made on predictions"? Where does policy say that predicted election results cannot be edited? What if the sources making those predictions change those predictions? Are editors not allowed to change them then?
More to the point, it seems like editors on an article that is right dead center in the hurricane's eye of one of the most contentious of our contentious topics are generally working well together. Proof that we can trust the community to do things right in situations like this, at least at the start. Daniel Case (talk) 19:09, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

American Airlines Flight 1420[edit]

Reason: IP keeps adding "first day of Pride Month" to the lead, which while yes it was the first day of Pride Month, is hardly relevant to the article. Would like to see it semiprotected for the next 72 hours. Springeragh (talk) 13:41, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked: 172.56.86.56 (talk · contribs) blocked by Amortias. for 72 hours, with talk page access revoked. This was not the only page they were being a bad boy on. Daniel Case (talk) 19:12, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yuno Miles[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. From an LTA. This may not deter them who vandalize other pages and edit on their user page anyway, but I think some form of protection will help slightly. Aaron Liu (talk) 13:52, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Just so they don't revert the close. Daniel Case (talk) 19:17, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 20:33, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Elio (film)[edit]

Reason: Users added 2024, when the film was delayed to 2025 due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, which presumably prevented the cast from recording dialogue and/or promoting the film. The Media Expert (talk) 18:38, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected indefinitely. Daniel Case (talk) 20:40, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked: Hawthorne 41 (talk · contribs) blocked by PhilKnight. Favonian (talk) 18:47, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jethro Tull[edit]

User(s) blocked: Hawthorne 41 (talk · contribs) blocked by PhilKnight. I did not semiprotect because the user was autoconfirmed. No anon/non-autoconfirmed user has edited the page since February 2023, and prior to that you have to go back to 2021. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 19:42, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Khankendi Stadium[edit]

Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Nationalistic NPOV violations, vandalism and edit warring by IPs going back months. Air on White (talk) 19:15, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nilüfer Hatun[edit]

Reason: Continuously subjected to vandalism and disruptive editing by IPs and new users, who massively remove verified sources and information Sira Aspera (talk) 22:11, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Süleyman Pasha (son of Orhan)[edit]

Reason: Protected for a week for vandalism, disruptive editing and sockpuppet, as soon as the protection expired it was again targeted by one of the previously reported new users. Sira Aspera (talk) 22:14, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

International Bar Association[edit]

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Content about the association's comments on the Israel-Hamas war has been recently added. Air on White (talk) 23:20, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disney Jr. (American TV channel)[edit]

Reason: Very badly botched pagemove with IP entanglement based on no sources (a discussion about reverting it is ongoing), but not only that, most of the edits the last month have been pointless IP-low editor vandalism regarding the first show aired on the channel (itself unsourced but unable to be removed because of said issue with it being restored). Nate (chatter) 23:39, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 00:26, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ronald Reagan[edit]

Indefinite semi-protection: Arbitration enforcement for American politics. Also, page was previously indefinitely semi-protected and was briefly extended confirmed protected but the indefinite semi-protection was never put back in like it should have. See the page's protection history. Also, page has received heavy and persistent egregious vandalism while unprotected. Please make the semi-protection indefinite once again. Tabbliss (talk) 00:04, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that indefinite semi-protection makes a lot of sense given the extensive history of disruptive editing. Muboshgu, what do you think? Daniel Quinlan (talk) 00:25, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It probably will need to be extended, but I did just protect it for two years, so I don't see the harm in letting it run and revisiting it then. Unfortunately this does not fall under WP:ARBAP2 since the cutoff was moved to 1992, nor does it fall under WP:ARBBLP. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:33, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is the page should never have been unprotected to begin with. It was indefinitely semi-protected, then briefly extended confirmed protected and when the ECP protection expired the indefinite semi-protection should have been reinstated. See the page's protection history. Muboshgu Daniel Quinlan Tabbliss (talk) 00:43, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think everyone understood the request. It's not a big deal to wait until 2026. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 00:47, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of most-subscribed YouTube channels[edit]

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – People are adding that MrBeast became the most-subscribed YouTube channel when there is no reliable source to back this up. YouTube subscriber counts are abbreviated, so at this current point in time, it is impossible to know who is truly the most-subscribed channel. ―Panamitsu (talk) 00:22, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chennedy Carter[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. Gottagotospace (talk) 02:28, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
