Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

File:Joe Biden presidential portrait.jpg (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: High-profile image on Commons, transcluded on Joe Biden infobox - currently no protection whatsoever, including for upload. I don't know the right place to post this, apologies in advance LenaAvrelia (talk) 18:48, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are requesting protection of a file that is on Commons? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:10, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yup - it's a high-profile file, being in the infobox for pages like Joe Biden and President of the United States, yet unprotected. The equivalent for Donald Trump has full protection for upload. LenaAvrelia (talk) 06:53, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify: This file is used/transcluded in the infoboxes of the two above-mentioned extended-confirmed pages, but hasn't been subject to vandalism. LenaAvrelia (talk) 09:07, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Two different accounts have been changing this article from Taiwan to China, Taiwanese to Chinese, etc. MB 01:10, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DeclinedWarn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:27, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – COVID... This was split out from COVID-19 misinformation (which is also indef ECPed), and caution, as well as avoidance of misinformation, suggests the same approach here. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 01:36, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see any disruption so far, and we do not protect articles preventatively.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:52, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – lets try get this 2 new editors to talk over blocks for 3reverts. Moxy- 03:13, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Moxy: I see there's a discussion at the Canadian Wikipedian's noticeboard; there have been no edits by Ak-eater06 (talk · contribs) or Angelgreat (talk · contribs) since then. Since the discussion is ongoing, I'm not inclined to full protect right now unless edit warring continues. Airplaneman (talk) 05:55, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: The article is perpetually vandalised. Most often involves removing the Kosovo Albanian ethnicity, and sometimes also removing Kosovar language. Requesting permanent or long-term protection. Ideally, permanent because the topic of KOSOVO will always remain contentious for the foreseeable future. DA1 (talk) 06:57, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is one IP, and they have never been warned.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:50, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: consistent and false reversions of edits based on fringe sources. Editor-in-chief at large (talk) 07:44, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Persistent introduction of European bias and negative/anti-australian and anti-american sentiment. AustraliaRodeo (talk) 08:24, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: High Level of IP vandalism Laxmanthaletto (talk) 09:02, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Engr. Smitty Werben 09:31, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 12:27, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: IP vandalism; repeated unsourced changes to DOB of BLP. Thanks. — Manticore 09:42, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Increase to Semi-protection. IP's continuing to edit war and pending changes is insufficient and difficult to manage. See also talk page and WP:ANI#Akhtar Raza Khan and image. Please note I may be considered by some to be non-neutral in this assessment. This should lead to forcing talk page discussion rather than edit warring. Thankyou.

Reason: Persistent image related vandalism in contravention of WP:NOTCENSORED. Image has previously been kept at FFD, and use of images upheld at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Islam-related articles#RfC: images of Islamic clerics and/or scholars. FDW777 (talk) 12:07, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Ongoing IP vandalism. ToeSchmoker (talk) 12:11, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
