Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. IanDBeacon (talk) 16:01, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Info on Page changing rapidly without explanation or sources.Shaan Sengupta (talk) 16:40, 3 July 2023 (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 16:43, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- why are you requesting this again and was denied a few days ago ToadetteEdit (talk) 16:47, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Because IP users and new editors are making unsourced and wrong changes like crazy. The page is seeing massive editing because of being involved in current eventShaan Sengupta (talk) 21:25, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It's true the article is being edited often and rapidly, but almost none of it involves IPs, so semi-protection would not be very effective. People need to go to the talk page. I suggest you start some discussions there about the material that is being disputed. And be sure to ping the people who are involved in the disputes/discussions.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. 𝑭𝒊𝒍𝒎𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔 (talk) 18:23, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 12 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. MelanieN (talk) 22:23, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- 2022 NCAA Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: Repeated vandalism regarding the gender identity of Lia Thomas. The article is very unlikely to need many future edits anyway, as it primarily details the results of an event which will not change. - callumpenguin (talk) 19:40, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 2 years, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Was previously semi'd for a year under enforcement of WP:ARBGS. Evidently not enough. -- Scott Burley (talk) 22:19, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Page about the Israel-Palestine conflict / Arab-Israeli conflict; should have indefinite 30/500 protection per arbitration remedy. Vanilla Wizard 💙 21:10, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Indefinite semiprotection. Griffin is a prominent conspiracy theorist whose article has been under pending changes protection since January 2019 for exactly what you'd expect. Pending changes protection was built to prevent bad edits from new/anon users while allowing good edits from the same but it's no longer a good fit here since those editors never make good edits. (The only exception I could find in the last several months? An IP editor, two days ago, whose fine work was a revert of another IP editor's insertion of a lie.) Semiprotection would just automatically do what PC1 patrollers already do by hand several times a week. CityOfSilver 22:30, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: This article has been semi-protected since March 2014, but the article is a train wreck. It is based on official census data with 2011 being the most recent census and the census is the only reliable source. However, the 2011 data has been relentlessly modified using unsourced and poorly-sourced present-day population estimates and at least 44 urban areas have been added by almost as many users despite not being listed as cities in the 2011 census. The edits include extended-confirmed accounts. I'm currently editing the article and will be working on clean up for a long period of time, but even after I am done, I believe this article will need to be remain fully protected based on the article history. (I am WP:INVOLVED so I cannot do this myself.) Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:57, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Extended confirmed protected I’m not unsympathetic to the full protection idea, but, two points, first, limiting it to EC accounts should limit the pool to a small enough number warning and blocking anyone left for addition of unsourced content should be possible. Second, using full protection to leave the article to only admin editors is a very drastic measure, and I’m not sure even admins can make edits on their own initiative per a strict reading of policy on fully protected articles. So, let’s see if this helps. Courcelles (talk) 00:39, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Makes sense to me. Let's see how much it helps. I can add some inline warnings too. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 00:44, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Fuerdai. — Prodraxis {talk • contributions} (she/her) 04:50, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Talk pages are not usually protected, and are semi-protected only for a limited duration in the most severe cases of vandalism. Before 4 July, the last edit was on 22 May and before that, in February. Sdrqaz (talk) 08:13, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
Indefinite full protection: Continuous spamming. Cahk (talk) 07:25, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
Not done, given that severe vandalism or abuse needs to occur for protection of user talk pages and twice in three days is insufficient to reach that bar; full protection is not necessary at all when only non-autoconfirmed users are editing it; the last edit was a day ago; indefinite would be overkill. Sdrqaz (talk) 08:13, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
