Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated. funplussmart (talk) 13:09, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I would like to leave this unprotected, as a sort of testing-area for drafts...it's not far fetched that people use it for just that. Lectonar (talk) 13:34, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lectonar: I kind of agree (and will put the page on my watchlist) but note that Draft:Test is create-protected. Should it be? —Kusma (t·c) 13:40, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Let's @Hut 8.5:; imho it needn't be. Lectonar (talk) 13:43, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lectonar, Kusma - We should remove the creation protection from Draft:Test and maybe consider creating both pages with templates that designate them as test pages? Either way, I agree in that I don't think that it's unreasonable for users to create pages named "draft test" or "test" in the draft space. In fact, I'd say that it's a good move on their part if they're unsure of how the wizard behaves, what it does, and where everything goes when they click the button. They're measuring twice and cutting once; good on them for doing that, and we shouldn't get in the way or prohibit reasonable attempts for users to do this. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:14, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Audrey Geisel is a simple redirect (to a section in the article about her husband, Dr. Seuss) which is unlikely to ever require much, if any, editing, and is a frequent target of vandalism by IPs with an apparent ax to grind about this person [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] --В²C ☎ 20:08, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was confused about this as well... ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:39, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it has been restored now, but much of the original history is missing. All of the vandalism edits are gone, which is good, but the latest version is from 2017 and there were legit updates since then having to do with categories and templates that changed after she passed. --В²C ☎ 21:44, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored the Dec 2018 edit I believe Born2cycle was talking about and pushed it forward over the recent correction, noting that the difference arises because of the temporary deletion. It looked like the other edits were reverting vandalism back and forth, so my thinking would be they don't need to be restored, but correct me if I missed anything. Samsara 22:48, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Enigmaman, Samsara - Why was this page deleted? And why is it only being partially restored? Why are we keeping parts of the edit history deleted? No rationale was given in the deletion log, and I'm confused as to what's going on and exactly why. Can you explain so that I understand? :-) Thanks - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 22:51, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Oshwah: I did not understand it either, so I restored the one edit that B2C seemed to be referring to and that seemed completely safe and innocuous. The principle being, if you don't understand it, try and be conservative around it until someone can clarify. Samsara 06:02, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Samsara, the result of re-adding the other edits is helpful (thank you!) but makes my latest edit (from today) not only moot but looks counter-productive. Could it be deleted? --В²C ☎ 23:14, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel that will be adequate, I will - since I see that all of this series is basically your work. Of course you, being a template editor, can edit it even under template protection. -- MelanieN (talk) 03:58, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It doesn't harm my work if it's template protected, there's just little reason for template protection to apply here, and I'd rather keep things editor friendly. If someone finds a typo in ((JCW-type)), well an edit request is just an annoying hurdle. Things would be different if this was something that would be visible from mainspace, or that would affect multiple Wikiprojects, but this is rather in the deep end of WP Journals.

Long term vandalism on Shakespeare play articles

• Hamlet (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
• The Tempest (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Short version: Requesting semi-protection (would prefer indef ECP, but my read of the policy doesn't seem to allow that) for these two articles. Wouldn't mind admins watchlisting them either.

Someone or ones have a bee up their bonnet about feminist literary criticism of Shakespeare's plays. Hamlet is their latest target (edit summaries given where one was present / relevant):

• 882660230
• 882660700—Removed toxic parts
• 882900454
• 882984228—Stop reverting this!!! If there was a section called nazism you would never allow it. Feminism nowadays is to males what nazism was to jews so stop adding text under that name!
• 882993076—Just what I said before...
• 882994838—You SJW lifeless sociologists, stop editing...
• 883537884—The usual
• 883844441
• 883973770
• 884007494
• 884421370
• 884503743

This is not the first round of this on Hamlet either:

• 874618786—Removed useless feminist opinions. (I am aware the word useless is obsolete in that context)
• 874806769
• 874917499
• 831964978—Not relevant
• 831964901—Not relevant

And their last round was on The Tempest:

• 829870660—feminist critique' removed due to lack of basis
• 828965292
• 828950726—No justification, hence no platform
• 828946232—"Feminist Critique" being promulgated as valid. Zero justification given on why the feminist lens, as opposed to an equally arbitrary 'inanimate objects lens', should be given a platform.
• 828775824—No justification offered for the incorporation of the arbitrary 'feminist critique'. A lack of amputees in 'The Tempest' would justify the addition of section dubbed "amputee criticism"? Common sense need be applied, unless propagating a biased narrative of course
• 828737896—To give credence to 'feminist theory' would be to invite any of the innumerable theories that spawn out of a biased outlook. A rather slippery slope.

• 452669678

These all come from a variety of different IP addresses, and have used the accounts ObservingEgo (currently indef'ed by 331dot per NOTHERE) and Arnol Chuarseneger (not currently blocked).

Note that (in the interest of complete transparency), when I previously requested page protection for this for The Tempest the request was handled by Ivanvector who at least initially assessed it to be a content dispute (see discussion at their talk page). I disagree with that assessment: this is either a single POV-warrior using open proxies, or it's meatpuppeting and off-wiki coordination (I'm betting it's the latter). Note that the edits all reflect a very specific world view, are focussed on literary criticism and Shakespeare, and use edit summaries that read like they are different people's attempts to express a common argument articulated in a off-wiki forum somewhere. Note also the variable familiarity with Wikipedia policies: a few edits give pseudo-policy arguments reflecting a superficial or second-hand familiarity with their existence, while some argue without apparent awareness of Wikipedia's policies or practices.

I am now so fed up with this (and the overwhelming stream of unrelated low-grade vandalism at Hamlet) that my preference would be to see both Hamlet and The Tempest put under indef extended confirmed protection (but my read of the policy suggests it doesn't permit that for this case), and range blocks applied to the IPs this is coming from as and when they pop up (given these are quite likely to be open proxies, that would help other issues too). However, even just a stint of semi-protection would probably make them lose interest for a while (until the next round). (Note that while Shakespeare articles are covered by DS due to WP:ARBSAQ, it's for an unrelated issue. This would be something like WP:ARBGG, if anything, but I don't think it applies or I'd have requested a babysitter for the articles over at AE. IOW, whatever remedies are needed here will have to be under the general policy framework.)

It would also help a lot if some admins watched these articles specifically (vs seeing them in a firehose of unpatrolled edits) and was aware of the above context when the next batch of these edits show up (pinging Oshwah, Favonian, Materialscientist who have helped deal with some of the latest batch). Given this is persistent long-term (at least back to 2016, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it long prior to that too) abuse with occasional attempts at misdirection by referring to policies, I'm hoping it might be justified to maybe be a bit more trigger-happy with blocking when edits that match this MO start appearing.

Because I just cannot kep agonizing over whether I am violating the letter of WP:3RR and WP:EW every time this shows up! --Xover (talk) 08:19, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Ymblanter! I hope I didn't step on any of your toes! I didn't see that you were looking into this until after I did. I went ahead and applied semi-protection to Hamlet for one week due to the recent disruption, but did not apply any protection to The Tempest due to no recent disruption being currently made, and the disruption listed in this report being from too long ago. I'll leave the rest to you... ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:51, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Oshwah: No problem, I was also distracted by smth else and it took longer than it should have taken. I applied an indefinite semi for Hamlet, since I just do not see any good IP edits in any recent history, and the recent disruption was too strong. For the Tempest, I agree that currently there is no evidence we need semi, but I believe the article which gets vandalized on a regular basis could benefit from pending changes, which I applied for a year.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:02, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent sockpuppetry – Requesting long-term semi or EC protection due to recent LTA activity. IanDBeacon (talk) 06:33, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I think that this is the most appropriate protection level, since it'll both enable reviewing for edits made to this article as well as leave it open as a "honey pot". Else, the LTA user will simply find a different page to vandalize and it'll take longer to locate, associate as LTA abuse by this user, and move forward from there. In situations like these, it's best to let them keep hitting the same page that we know he's been abusing and can watch, so that the sock users can be reported and blocked quickly. Pending changes protection will assure that nothing changed by the LTA user will be publicly viewable. Perfect solution. ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:42, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After a few weeks a third named account made the same edit, I opened an SPI and before it even got looked at an IP address started making the same edits so I know am pursuing page protection as the (presumed) individual would just keep using IPs to pursue their agenda.
