[edit]- Mohanmaldhure (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – On William F. Baker (television) (diff): vandalism after final warning. this is a WP:CIR thing, I recommend a short acting warning shot. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:36, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hyperpop Queen (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Vandalism only account, already warned on talk page and vandalized after warning. Note that they're using their userpage to advertise their TikTok. seefooddiet (talk) 19:37, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
176.42.11.68 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) This IP user has continuously vandalised the Turkish war crimes article, falsifying fatality and victim estimates with no source despite numerous warnings. Also if you check their contribution history, they appear to be doing the same to other articles as well. Please at least warn this user at the very least. 47.51.12.122 (talk) 21:00, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
82.222.101.97 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) See my first request above. This appears to be one of the other IPs used by the previously mentioned vandal. 47.51.12.122 (talk) 21:03, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- These two reports are not suitable for WP:AIV - they have not been warned, and the edits are not blatant vandalism. PhilKnight (talk) 21:07, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

- I have warned 176.42.11.68. PhilKnight (talk) 21:09, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for that, should I post again here if they continue to disrupt the Turkish war crimes article after being warned, or will you patrol the article / take care of it from here? 47.51.12.122 (talk) 21:10, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- I have added the article to my watch list. Hopefully, I will take care of it from now on, PhilKnight (talk) 21:22, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Editing war by IP users that changes his IP. He was originally block due his conduct here. He kept changing his IP to evade block and kept editing using IP's 83.determined mostly on the above articles talk pages, on of his talk page (and also on Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk 17 of march) mostly attacking other users. One of the IP's was taken to ANI and determined to be a sock (User talk:83.142.111.2). He keeps edit warring trying to reinstate content written during the block and that seeks conflict and just that.Rpo.castro (talk) 09:15, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
I’d like to point out that the it is the talk pages of these articles that the IP keeps disrupting with their most recent edits.Tvx1 12:08, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:59, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- @HJ Mitchell, they have tried to reinstate their disruptive talk page post again today. See for instance here. Tvx1 17:51, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated IP attempts to link subject to two sports teams moving out of her city, despite lack of references making that link. Recent surge, but we were seeing it at least as far back as last April, so perhaps more than a few days is called for. Nat Gertler (talk) 17:04, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: 2603:8001:B400:0:0:0:0:0/38 (talk · contribs) blocked by Favonian. From page for a year. Daniel Case (talk) 17:43, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Low level but constant vandalism since at least September 2023 on the naming of King Munmu of Silla. The edits are constantly from IP addresses and revert the name from Munmu of Silla to Munmu the Great. While this could be a topic of discussion given Munmu's role in Korean history, the IP does not bother engaging with other users. Sunnyediting99 (talk) 18:30, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.
- To find out the username of the admin who protected the page, click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page," which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
- Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
- Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
- If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page, please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected, please use the section below.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Unprotection: 14 years of protection with little vandalism or disruption. Thepharoah17 (talk) 23:34, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Black Kite: pinging protecting admin. Daniel Case (talk) 02:30, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Page has been protected for about 15 years now, I think we can try pending changes Filmssssssssssss (talk) 16:03, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Courcelles, the protecting admin, hasn't been active for a couple of months, so I would let him weigh in if he decides to, but I would also note that in roughly that same time span there has been vandalism that got editors indeffed. Daniel Case (talk) 17:47, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.
- Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among
{{Edit protected}},{{Edit template-protected}},{{Edit extended-protected}}, or{{Edit semi-protected}}to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed. - Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}template should be used. - Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
- If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
- This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.
in the section Uncontroversial technical requests, put {{subst:RMassist|Eclipse (software)|Eclipse (IDE)reason="software" says nothing about what it does}} - 2600:4040:AE89:A00:6CE3:2E6F:4377:C354 (talk) 18:16, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
There are citations needed for the section "For the fiscal year 2021, Amazon reported earnings of US$33.36 billion, with an annual revenue of US$469.82 billion, an increase of 21.7% over the previous fiscal cycle. Since 2007 sales increased from 14.835 billion to 469.822 billion, due to continued business expansion.[citation needed]"
I have found three references from bloggingwizard, investing.com and wallstreetnumbers.com that back those claims but I don't have permissions to add them.
For some reason I can't add full URLs here because I get a "spamblacklist" but happy to share. Joanfihu (talk) 15:43, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Investing.com is locally blacklisted. The other two don't seem to be on the local or global blacklists. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:14, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

"Do you want to take a survey?"
[edit]On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.
On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.
Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.

Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers
