Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Per WP:CT/SA, this page gets a lot of traffic and a lot of edits come under the broad area of "social groups". SerChevalerie (talk) 11:40, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Not done. The article itself isn't about a social group, so protecting it to enforce the restriction would lock out edits to other parts of it. Many of the IP edits (e.g.) seem to be in good faith. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:06, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Pattern of vandalism and addition of uncited information by temporary and new accounts. Activity seems to be driven by the article being currently linked on the front page of the site it describes. This is confirmed by the presence of soyjack-adjacent slang in the edit summaries. Users of the site have a history of raiding Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, so this behavior can be expected to continue for at least a week. ~2025-37440-32 (talk) 11:56, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Not done The article is busy, but it isn't to a point that protection would help. Not every person reverting and such is new. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 06:16, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – WP:LTA/DTHD, again. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 14:22, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Account gets created after reverting incorrect information. 1 2 3 –LDM2003 talk to me! 14:33, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Disruption by WP:LTA/DTHD. Account gets created after reverting it. 1 2 3 4. –LDM2003 talk to me! 14:26, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism and sockpuppetry - page once again vandalised, likely by User:Timelash socks, less than 24 hours after the last protection expired. Requesting longer protection this time --Prothe1st (leave me a message)-- 15:00, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 06:19, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There's a tendency for certain IPs to remove a case detail. More such edits are highly likely since the verdict just came today. See history. Teegarden's Star b (talk) 15:30, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Repeatedly targeted by IP hopping sock Number 57 15:57, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Persistant disruptive editing by same ip-hopping user also active on recently protected articles Handan Sultan and Halime Sultan Phso2 (talk) 16:05, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Incessant rotating IP vandalism. Anwegmann (talk) 17:15, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Incessant rotating IP vandalism. Anwegmann (talk) 17:16, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Wikishovel (talk) 18:52, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism ZP (talk) 20:24, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Very little actual vandalism. Most of the reverted edits are good faith. Could try PC, but since everything is already being caught I don't see the point. Toadspike [Talk] 02:45, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Controversial, widely-reported topic; ongoing dispute regarding mergers between 2 other similar articles; some edit warring ~2025-33890-41 (talk) 22:28, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/3 Löwi. This has been going on since at least July and the latest temporary account has already indicated that this is clearly the same person. Mellk (talk) 23:17, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Mellk There's not much we can do here if the accounts are autoconfirmed, as the last (non-TA) one was. ECP for a month or more seems overkill. Thoughts? I can do a few days of semi. Toadspike [Talk] 02:36, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism Gd123lbp (talk) 23:18, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Not done The disputed content should be discussed at WP:BLPN. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:06, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Page history shows that temporary protection is clearly insufficient. RaschenTechner (talk) 23:23, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I only see one reversion of vandalism in the past four months. Toadspike [Talk] 02:39, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: See Talk:Kobi Kambon#exterminate White people off the face of the planet. New users confuse Kobi Kambon with Kamau Kambon and add massive violations of WP:BLP (Kobi Kambon died in 2018, so I guess BLP still applies). Also see previous page protection, requested at Special:Permalink/1310959867#Kobi_Kambon. — Chrisahn (talk) 00:39, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
Note: BLP applies to living and recently deceased individuals only. "Recent is usually a few months but can be as much as two years. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 01:56, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Multiple WP:OWN related cases of undoing edits. The company is long-since dead, the company have sold their ring, the wrestlers formed two separate new promotions and the belts are being used elsewhere, but Addicted4517 and HHHPedrigree refuse to let others change the edits because they feel it's their right to ignore racist sources when the company is too small to have explicit sources to indicate a closure. It was closed on the down-low, but nobody can edit without Addicted in particular undoing their edits. ~2025-36524-62 (talk) 02:19, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. You do realise the only effect of protection would be to stop you from editing the article? The Bushranger One ping only 05:17, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Was just unprotected and is again being inundated with promotional garbage aesurias (talk) 03:44, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Article has recently been targeted/disrupted by a various IPs (now temp accounts) with serious BLP vios, really vandalism of content. Covered by WP:CT/SA. Gotitbro (talk) 04:50, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – The article is about a book which is about the Arab-Israeli conflict. TarnishedPathtalk 05:44, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
