Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – She was just named as OMB director-to-be in the Biden administration so the page is getting more (unwelcome) attention than usual. Considering that this was semi-ed not too long ago, perhaps a month or two would be appropriate?. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 03:28, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined I'm not clear what the BLP policy violations are. There are about four pages of edits just from today (though around 80% of them are by you) so I haven't been able to go through each and every edit but, from a robust sample, I haven't seen anything other than content disagreements. Again, though, given the sheer volume of edits I may have missed something. In any case, since you seem to be reverting everyone's edits it seems like the situation, if there is one, is under control. Chetsford (talk) 05:19, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While you're right that I and other editors have been able to catch them, edits such as Special:Diff/991542265, Special:Diff/991643796, Special:Diff/991603867 are all unsourced additions to this controversial BLP. It's getting a bit tiresome to deal with these, to be honest, but I understand your reluctance. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 05:36, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your diligence in reporting this. Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Given the nature of some of the edits, I don't think we can apply a level of protection that would cause the allegations contained within the edits to be disseminated to, and viewed by, the PC reviewers.

Notifying Materialscientist, the protecting admin, since the OP (that's you, a gd fan) neglected to follow the instructions at the top of this section. Favonian (talk) 20:03, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a single constructive edit from anonymous IPs or unconfirmed editors in the article history. All of them are disruptive. There was no content-related activity when the article was unprotected before, only vandalism reversion. And naturally, protection has caused all activity to cease, because the only activity the article had was disruptive. That suggests that the only activity the article would experience after unprotection is more of the same disruption it experienced before. If anyone wants to make improvements, it is not hard to create an account and get autoconfirmed. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:13, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There were two edits to the talk page in May 2019, both reverted as clear vandalism. There were two edits in 2018 and 2017 to rearrange talk page headers, and a bot edited the talk page in 2017. I haven't checked, but even the comments in 2014 and 2013 appear to have been nonsense. I can't see anything else. What I'm saying is that the article should stay protected until a couple of convincing edit requests are made at talk. Johnuniq (talk) 09:09, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined The edit rate is high, but the unconstructive editing seems to be in the minority. On the balance, I don't think the level of disruption outweighs constructive contributions from IPs.

Non-admin comment Fylindfotberserk, I confirm that IP 122.177.5.90 is a same range as 122.177.228.240 so rangeblock needs to be applied to both users. I want to ping MelanieN and Ohnoitsjamie for that issue to impose a rangeblock for these IPs.

Yes. The range is partially blocked as of now, but they keep on vandalizing the articles. This article requires protection for sometime in my opinion. These dynamic IPs change fast I believe. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 07:22, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Noting that the most recent reverted edits were from an IP that geolocates to US. The amount of disruption/vandalism seems too great for PC to be effective.

The assertions you make about, "IP accounts (unidentified) traced from Turkey and Azerbaijan trying to disrupt the Wikipedia activities, promoting pan-Turkist and AKP propaganda, as well as hatred on Armenia, Greece, Iran, Russia and other countries that do not approve Turkish government's policies and rewriting history about Turkey's atrocities," while emotionally charged, do not see reflective of the current situation.
