Extended confirmed–protected for a period of three weeks, after which the page will revert to its previous protection level if it is still in effect, or become unprotected otherwise. Daniel Case (talk) 21:09, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

- Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 21:14, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. ᴸᵃᶠᶠʸTaffer💬(they/she) In solidarity 15:09, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
Already protected by administrator ScottishFinnishRadish. For a week. Will leave CTOPS notice on talk page per WP:CT/BLP and WP:CT/SA if there isn't one already. Daniel Case (talk) 21:40, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Entire history page is dotted with reverts. Also one socking vandal who has intention to continue socking. Starlet! (Need to talk?) (Library) (Sandbox) 15:20, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
IP address(es) blocked by Daniel Case. For two weeks. Daniel Case (talk) 21:47, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – previously had a 1 year protection, time for indefinite. Toketaatalk 15:37, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
- Semi-protected indefinitely. Will log at CTOPS under WP:CT/AP because the naming issue underlies the edit warring Daniel Case (talk) 21:57, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I don't know what is happening with the page history (I have never seen a page history like this one before), but it seems like there is a lot of reverts, so I guess semi protect??? This is so weird... Toketaatalk 15:44, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I have seen many page histories like this before, and from such a paucity of reverts we usually presume that the editors on the page are working things out for themselves as we encourage them to.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Toketaatalk 16:23, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
- User(s) blocked: Tategeraghty (talk · contribs) blocked by ScottishFinnishRadish. indefinitely. While they were not the only editor reverted, they were the last, and there have been no other since them. Daniel Case (talk) 22:05, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Toketaatalk 16:24, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
Create protection: Repeatedly recreated. Jdcomix (talk) 16:36, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
- One of those recreations was actually a WP:REFUND request, albeit one that shouldn't have been done. G11 generally isn't a speedy criterion that can be REFUNDed. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Look out it's Jimothy! 17:26, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
- Either way the account got blocked, so I don't think action will be needed unless they sock. Jdcomix (talk) 17:27, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Long term vandalism target but not happening often enough for semi, PC it is. Toketaatalk 16:42, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Reason: Persistent vandalism from a number of different IP addresses, though I suspect, from the type of edits, that is one person. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 16:53, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – PC timesink, no constructive edits. Toketaatalk 17:17, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: BLP policy violations – A recent, very sneaky bit of vandalism that had fake citations so they didn't get picked up as unreferenced BLP, bogus claims Varane had played for Como, Northeast United and Liverpool. Edlectro28 (talk) 17:21, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
Reason: Mr. John Wahl is the Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor in Alabama. The AL Republican party held its primaries on May 19th, 2026, with the run-off (Mr. Wahl was a part of the run-off) being held on June 16th, 2026. Around those dates and as well as the last couple of weeks, a plethora of editors have come through making various edits to the page, some innocent, others to paint him in an overly negative or overly positive light.
At least from the date this request is reviewed, until AFTER the general election occurs on November 3rd, we request Extended Confirmed Protection (ECP) for Mr. Wahl's page.
We request this level and duration of protection as the View History indicates an uptick in mass edits and deletions occur around the election dates, and we would like to prevent that to maintain as accurate a page on Mr. Wahl as possible.
Please reach out if any further details are required. Thank you! StripedDemocracy (talk) 20:50, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
