{{re|El_C}} {{re|Octoberwoodland}} Continuing [[User talk:Alalch Emis#1RR|this discussion]], I'd like to request that [[2021 storming of the United States Capitol]] be put under [[WP:1RR]] (I guess that would be [[Template:American politics AE]]?). How do I make such a request? Post to [[WP:AN]]? Or can an admin (i.e. you :-)) do that without a formal request? — [[User:Chrisahn|Chrisahn]] ([[User talk:Chrisahn|talk]]) 23:59, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
:{{u|Chrisahn}}, right, you ask me, here, like so. But can you show that there is a lot of protracted edit warring going on? Because I'm wary of throttling a page that sees that much activity. Not sure why you pinged Octoberwoodland here. They are not an admin, so they do not have the authority to grant your request. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 00:09, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
:: No, there hasn't been much edit warring. Just like Octoberwoodland, I thought the page was already under 1RR, and I thought it would be useful. But if you'd rather not do it yet, that's fine with me as well. If problems do arise, I'll come back here.

:::Just understood that moments ago (the ping). Anyway, in general, restrictions are added by need only. The general consensus among admins is to wait and see, and only if needed add 1RR.

:::: No, it doesn't. It could just ebb. In 2018, it was no concern. Why is it now? Why can't we just edit the little boxes as other content: someone adds, and if someone reverts, consensus needs to be established. Instead, someone adding, or requesting, or just asking where it went, is considered a warrior. The question where it went often goes like this: when a certain group of editors expanded an article, they collapsed it (thinking that was a compromise, but making life harder for those having physical trouble to click the "show" button). That caused a little edit-war, which was "resolved" by taking it away completely, with [[Talk:Ian Fleming/Archive 1#Infobox|a discussion like this on the talk]] following. Ever since, we have been reminded that there was this consensus not to have one, and we are supposed to believe that. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 16:10, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

== Thanks re Myanmar ==

Hi El C,
I know it was a while ago but I want to thank you for your patience with me on the Myanmar articles. I have a tendency to get flustered when coming under attack, so I made some mistakes when that happened with some new editors who happened to be from Myanmar. I have a lot of sympathy for their situation, though. I edit in that area because it's one of the most backwards regimes in the world but that gets very little attention. Anyway, thanks and happy holidays. [[User:25stargeneral|25stargeneral]] ([[User talk:25stargeneral|talk]]) 18:23, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

::Hi I am back with a new name! I'm planning on focusing my work going forward more on content creation. I regret being at times insensitive in my approach to other editors in the Myanmar area, so I just wanted to ask, if you happen to notice me editing in a less-than-collaborative way, could you please give me a nudge in the right direction, even if it doesn't rise to anything actionable? I would greatly appreciate it. I will go through the normal channels from now on if there is something that I believe needs admin attention.

Looks like you put an extended autoconfirmed protection at [[Saturday Night Live (season 49)]] on the ground that it's related to the Arab-Israeli conflict because there was a minor edit war over whether to include the minor point that the role of [[Elise Stefanik]] in the Congressional hearing on Anti-semitism was originally given to [[Cecily Strong]]. I don't follow the logic. 

The edit war had nothing to do with Anti-semitism per se, and absolutely nothing to do with the Arab-Israeli conflict.

I believe this is quite an inappropriate block since blocks are preventative and not punitive.

:Also, on the ''7th edit crux'' you mentioned at their talk page, I think getting involved in administrative noticeboards while the account is new isn't an issue in and of itself. Well, they aren't new to our [[WP:P&G]]s, but I don't see that as a reason to believe that they would cause further disruption. Though I don't see it as necessary, a namespace block from WP/WT instead of a full indef would have been less BITE-y. <span style="font-family:Iosevka,monospace">0x[[User:0xDeadbeef|<span style="text-transform:uppercase;color:black">'''Deadbeef'''</span>]]</span>→∞ ([[User talk:0xDeadbeef#top|talk to me]]) 05:36, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

== Revert Reason ==

Hi, El_C,

Just wanted to clear it up, the reason I reverted here [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_F._Kennedy_International_Airport&diff=prev&oldid=1199079400] was not because it wasn't an inline citation, it was because of [[WP:RSPSIMPLEFLYING]] where an RfC came to the consensus that SimpleFlying is not a reliable source and should not be used in articles. Just wanted to clear that up.

Thanks! [[User:VenFlyer98|VenFlyer98]] ([[User talk:VenFlyer98|talk]]) 05:58, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

:This was already [[special:diff/1199153573|settled]] by the time you've written the above, VenFlyer98. Can we move on? [[User:El_C|El_C]] 17:51, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
::I wasn’t trying to start anything again, I was literally just explaining myself since you initially responded that the source was good and wanted to make sure my reasoning was understood. Was just explaining myself, I already moved on…
::Have a good one. [[User:VenFlyer98|VenFlyer98]] ([[User talk:VenFlyer98|talk]]) 19:11, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
:::You started by explaining to the IP how to cite inline, so I thought that meant ''you'' viewed their source as good. Otherwise why would you open with that and not with: 'sorry, it's a bad source, but if you have a good one, you do is this way'? So, yeah, I missed the second part, ''WP:RSPSIMPLEFLYING'', which probably read like gibberish to me late last night. {{np|Coastie43}}'s quoting it in full (with words), ''Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#SimpleFlying'' — that by contrast was immediately readable to me. Anyway, this entire conversation just seems so needless. But no biggie. See ya. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 20:09, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

== About your comment on ANI==

I saw your response on ANI. I probably should have clarified, but when I said about bringing your block of Bobak to XRV, I meant '''you yourself bringing it there''' if '''you''' were concerned it would be against consensus (Which as of now it is ''not''). I am aware my suggestion could have come accross as 'anyone can/should bring it to XRV', which was ''not'' what I was attempting to state and definitely ''not'' attempting or encouraging others to do so.

I sincerely apologise. [[User:ASmallMapleLeaf|ASmallMapleLeaf]] ([[User talk:ASmallMapleLeaf|talk]]) 16:28, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
:Oh, I see. But no need to apologize, though I appreciate it. It's just a rather obscure venue that is used seldom and not many know about. Take care. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 16:36, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

@[[User:El C|El C]] You reverted my edits [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chris_Kempczinski&oldid=1209253395 here] a while ago, and I did not notice until now. I thought that IP was subtly vandalizing, but I have now just realized that I misread the sentence multiple times and did not realize that IP was trying to fix a grammatical error.

:Sure, {{u|ItsCheck}}, but please make sure you learn from this, by double and triple checking your edits, and by treating any given IP editor in [[WP:AGF|good faith]] until proven otherwise. Because obviously changing "married with two children" into "married ''to'' two children" in a [[WP:BLP|biography of a living person]] is a very serious violation. Thanks for reaching out.

In regards to your response on my [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection/Archive/2024/03#Environmental_issues_in_the_United_Arab_Emirates|request for page protection]] how would you recommend I go about initiating a discussion with an IP user who's IP is different every time they edit?

:On the article talk page, which stays the same regardless. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 17:53, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
::What I'm saying is doesn't it seem pointless to attempt to communicate with an individual who's sole purpose is to return to an account and revert my edit, each time from a different IP? Or perhaps it's a group of people since the IPs are in fact unique? [[User:Skarz|skarz]] ([[User talk:Skarz|talk]]) 18:29, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

== Rationale for extending extended-confirmed protection to the entire [[World Central Kitchen]] article? ==

Hi. I'm not very familiar with the custom of topic-based page protections. The policy states "all pages broadly related to a topic, as well as parts of other pages that are related to the topic". The page was already partially protected in regards to any information regarding the incident in Gaza, and there has been no vandalism.

Is this the norm of topic-based protections? E.g. it is not banned to edit the article [[Legality of conversion therapy]] because of the "gender-related contentious topics; or the biography of [[Wang Zhi'an]] merely because it contains information about him criticising [[Falun Gong]]. I was about to add some information regarding past World Central Kitchen responses to natural disasters. [[User:Y. Dongchen|Y. Dongchen]] ([[User talk:Y. Dongchen|talk]]) 01:53, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
:Hello. First, protection that is [[WP:PREEMPTIVE]] is against the norms (not sure if that's clear to you). As for this [[WP:ARBINFO|arbitration]]-enforcement sanction regime (the [[WP:PIA]] topic area) its [[WP:ECR]] requirement is split into two types of affected pages: [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel_articles_4#Standing_sanctions_upon_primary_articles|"primary articles,"]] which represent a permanent and close connection to the topic area, and [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 4#General sanctions upon related content|"related content"]], whose connection is temporary and/or lesser. But as for the examples you pointed to above, neither [[WP:ARBFLG]] nor [[WP:ARBGS]] feature the ECR requirement. Still, in a broader sense, if a dispute pertaining to any applicable topic area becomes acute on any page, that sanction regime could be invoked (and regardless if it's a [[WP:GS#Community_sanctions|community-authorized]] or [[WP:GS#Arbitration_Committee_sanctions|Arbitration Committee-authorized]] one). HTH. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 02:54, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
::Thank you for the information. So as I understand it from the [[WP:PIA|WP:PIA page]], you applied ECR as you deem [[World Central Kitchen]] to be a "primary article" under that regime? I would appreciate a confirmation. Thanks again for the explanation. [[User:Y. Dongchen|Y. Dongchen]] ([[User talk:Y. Dongchen|talk]]) 03:12, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
:::No, it's not ''primary,'' it's ''related,'' because that organization is active elsewhere in the world, like Ukraine. If it was only focused on its Gaza mission, then it would be deemed ''primary.'' [[User:El_C|El_C]] 03:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
::::Ah okay. Then can you please remove the current form of protection which is applied to the entire page? The [[WP:PIA]] "area of conflict" is defined as
::::4) For the purposes of editing restrictions in the ARBPIA topic area, the "area of conflict" shall be defined as encompassing
::::a. the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted ("primary articles"), and
::::b. edits relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict, to pages and discussions in all namespaces with the exception of userspace ("related content")
::::if I understand it correctly. [[User:Y. Dongchen|Y. Dongchen]] ([[User talk:Y. Dongchen|talk]]) 04:02, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::Sorry, I don't follow. You don't provide a reasoning as to why I should "remove the current form of protection which is applied to the entire page," you just quote from that case. To what end? So, no, I don't think you understand it correctly, but I'm not sure if I can explain it better. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 04:14, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
::::::According to the "ARBPIA general sanctions" {{endash}} ''Extended confirmed restriction: The extended confirmed restriction is imposed on the '''area of conflict'''.''
::::::Since you mentioned your rationale for the imposition of protection was that you deemed the article to contain ''related content'', the general sanctions would not cover the imposition of whole-page protection. The ''related content'' was already explicitly protected as per the article talkpage. I am not an extended-confirmed user and I want to add information about past responses of WCK to natural disasters. [[User:Y. Dongchen|Y. Dongchen]] ([[User talk:Y. Dongchen|talk]]) 04:22, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::::The only difference between ''primary'' and ''related'' is that [[WP:ECP]] isn't applied indefinitely for the latter. Because in the future that org may be in the news and experience active editing disputes about, say, Haiti, which is not currently deemed a [[WP:CTOP|contentious topic]]. But a page can only be protected in its entirety. I don't have discretion about the protection level itself. If you think you have a convincing case, you could request to get your [[WP:XC]] status expedited at [[WP:PERM#Extended confirmed]], though. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 04:45, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
::::::::The "area of conflict" concept was introduced in [[WP:ARBPIA4]] following confusion about [[Airbnb]] which included controversies regarding operation in West Bank settlements. So even though the article still contains the company's settlements controversy, the protection is not extended to the whole article. I might ask for a third opinion on this. [[User:Y. Dongchen|Y. Dongchen]] ([[User talk:Y. Dongchen|talk]]) 05:16, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::Again, I'm not sure I follow. It's a standard action. But sure, maybe someone else can explain it better than I. The latest disputes at [[World Central Kitchen]] are ''related'' to the recent [[World Central Kitchen drone strikes]] (which I also protected, as it happens). Both actions have been logged at [[WP:AELOG/2024#PIA]]. HTH. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 05:25, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
{{od|:::::::::}}
{{tpw}} Protection of any article related to the topic area, broadly construed, is permitted by the protection policy and the contentious topic procedures.

I got an email explaining it was a student project. ".

:Thanks, Doug, that's interesting and a bit unexpected, but I should emphasize that I approached this from a wider lense. As in the long term issues the page has experienced intermittently, resulting in multiple protections from 2010 to the present day. Usually, these protections have been in the months, but the last two were for one year each (2017-2018 and 2019-2020, respectively), so I went for 2 years this time. But next time that page experiences major problems, whatever that reason may be, I think that the protection should be set not to expire. Best, [[User:El_C|El_C]] 01:19, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

== Reverting the edit of Maratha Empire article ==

Hi, it appears that you recently reverted the article on the [[Maratha Empire]] to a previous version. However, the prior version indicated a date of 1758, not 1760. Additionally, other articles about historical empires include maps from when they were at their peak, so the map from 1758 would be accurate in this context. The statement "Maratha Empire at its peak in 1760" contradicts the earlier map date. The map from 1758 is available on Wikimedia That's why I edited the map of 1760 to 1758 because the description under it was wrong. Seems like Wikipedia editors are biased. Also, there is a talk section about this topic in that article but no one discussed before editing. [[Special:Contributions/2402:8100:387D:609D:AC52:E91E:48D4:A649|2402:8100:387D:609D:AC52:E91E:48D4:A649]] ([[User talk:2402:8100:387D:609D:AC52:E91E:48D4:A649|talk]]) 12:11, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

In this context, your {{tq|Seems like Wikipedia editors are biased}} seems unsubstantive and falls short. There may be a language barrier that at this time is insurmountable.

== Can the [[Standoff at Eagle Pass]] be reduced in protection? ==

I believe you are the Wikipedia administrator who added Extended Confirmation Protection to [[Standoff at Eagle Pass]]. <u>Can the protection for this page be reduced to semi-protected,</u> due to the need for updates related to the topic (the banner has been there since February 2024) and the reduced news coverage and controversy about the event. 

Side-note: I have extended confirmation protection editing power (500+ edits, more than 30 days).  [[User:JohnAdams1800|JohnAdams1800]] ([[User talk:JohnAdams1800|talk]]) 01:56, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

== Siege of Szigetvár and Nikola IV Zrinski ==

HI El C. I made a couple of edits on Wikipedia. I think I'm right, maybe I'm not. Two users disagree with me, one from the Battle for Sigetvar, the other from Nikola IV Zrinski, but no one else. I think that unverified images with unknown authors have no place on Wikipedia. Then everyone can post unverified pictures with unknown authors. I think there must be a rule for that in wikipedia, maybe there isn't. So I would like your opinion on that. See my Wikipedia edits. Thank you.

:Hello. Yeah, sorry, I do think you're wrong here. Just because the 16th century author is unknown, doesn't mean the painting is "unverified." See https://en.mng.hu/artworks/34295 — I personally am inclined to trust the curators of the [[Hungarian National Gallery]]. But you can always bring any concerns or issue to the [[Talk:Siege of Szigetvár|article talk page]]. That is where that discussion belongs. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 21:36, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

== Thanks for protecting those templates :) ==

For context, I was going through [[Special:Contribs/CheezDeez32|these]] and finding the ones with >5k transclusions that MusikBot hadn't yet upgraded to TPE. I started listing them at RFPP/I before it occurred to me that -- if I added them all in one set -- I might accidentally cause people to be annoyed with me for flooding the page. Having said that, if you don't mind protecting some more, would it be okay if I listed the remaining ones from that list with >5k transclusions here? (If you do mind, it's not a problem of course!)

== U&A Reversion ==

Hello. I saw that you were involved with the reversion of my post on the “Universities and Antisemitism” page, specifically about MIT. I was wondering if you could provide me with some clarification on why my edit was reverted. I see that this page is protected, meaning one would have to be above 500 edits, but I am curious about the comment on Palestine-Israel articles. I understand that that these incidents at MIT have been influenced by the I-P conflict, but is there a way I can acknowledge that fact without being in violation of these rules? I would really appreciate any suggestions that could improve to fit Wikipedia standards. Thank you so much!  [[User:Topiguana|Topiguana]] ([[User talk:Topiguana|talk]]) 16:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
:Hi. I actually was not involved in any reversions and know little to nothing about those. Rather, I protected the page ([[special:diff/1222307976|link]]) in response to a protection request ([[special:permalink/1222308060#Universities_and_antisemitism|link]]). Unfortunately, since you lack the required tenure (the [[WP:XC|extended confirmed]] one of 30 days and 500 edits), you cannot presently edit the article due these restrictions ([[WP:ECR]]). Restrictions the [[WP:AC|Arbitration Committee]] has imposed on the [[WP:PIA]] topic area. In short, this was a procedural protection that aligns with these rules. Sorry I don't have better news for you. Regards, [[User:El_C|El_C]] 17:30, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
::So, [[User:Topiguana|Topiguana]], either you are able to reach to the [[WP:XC]] tenure (which must happen organically) so that the [[WP:30-500]] threshold is met, or [[WP:ECR]] only permits you to participate as follows (quoting): {{tq|''Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace only to make [[WP:ER|edit requests]] related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive''}}. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 17:37, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

== Question from Clovermoss ==

Hi El C, I have a question. I noticed what you did [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ARunning_Gay_Malaysia&diff=1223469577&oldid=1223469491 here]. I was kind of ambivalent on whether or not I should revoke talk page access but the idea of protecting the page itself didn't occur to me. Is it because of the sockpuppetry? I'm still getting the hang of nuance surrounding admin stuff and I try to use confusing situations as learning opportunities. [[User:Clovermoss|<span style="color:darkorchid">Clovermoss</span><span style="color:green">🍀</span>]] [[User talk:Clovermoss|(talk)]] 10:12, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
:Hey. So I revoked TPA because this user continued spamming after being indeffed. Only after that did I notice that they also replied to their own spam as an IP for some reason <sup>([[special:diff/1223467505|diff]])</sup>. So I also semiprotected, an action that, granted, renedres the TPA revocation moot. Anyway, since this is a spam-only account with less than 20 edits, my overall position is: ''who cares?'' Best wishes, [[User:El_C|El_C]] 10:28, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

== Can you admin delete an edit from page history ==

Some new (apparently agenda-driven) user has realised they can't edit most Israel-Palestine related articles and so has decided to hit related ones. While most of this can/has just been removed, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Concerns_and_controversies_at_the_2024_Summer_Olympics&diff=prev&oldid=1223334948 this edit] is, well, read it yourself. A paragraph ranting about Israel being justified. Absolutely not appropriate to be hosted by Wikipedia even just in edit history. [[User:Kingsif|Kingsif]] ([[User talk:Kingsif|talk]]) 11:12, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

::::Sure, no.2 - using wikivoice to present apologism for at least war crimes, seems to me as {{tq|Grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material}}. Regardless of whatever side of any particular conflict, any comment anywhere that tries justifying what are widely considered war crimes is just so out of line.
::::What makes it cross the line, for me, is the presentation of this comment in wikivoice as if it's authoritative. I mean, the content was not relevant at the article and had a poor source anyway, but say it was relevant and well-sourced, saying "organisations X and Y think..." is good. But not wikivoice saying it. And, beyond NPOV as I see it, there are likely to be some affected people who would take that as Wikipedia, as a large organisation, taking an offensive stance.

== Deleting my userpage? ==

Hullo El_C, long time no interact! Sorry to be a bother, but I'm writing this to ask if there's a way you or another administrator may "delete" my user page? Looking back, I'm quite uncomfortable with how I revealed both my general location and age in previous revisions (what happens when you're young, dumb, and very dumb!) and was wondering if there was a way for the edit history to be deleted? Or at least not publicly available for other contributors to see? Hope you're having a nice day, many thanks :)  [[User:Sisuvia|Sisuvia]] ([[User talk:Sisuvia|talk]]) 07:50, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

@[[User:El C|El C]]
Hi, just thought I should let you know, the user you blocked from editing that article didn't waste any time making another account so they could keep removing information.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Allison_McAtee&diff=prev&oldid=1225159557] This time claiming it's a request from the actress. Which I highly doubt. Is is possible for you to prevent that page from being edited not only from accounts that haven't made many edits, but also from IPs since even if an editor gets blocked, they could also log out and make edits?

==Good News & Bad News==
Hi. I just wanted to let you know that:
*'''Bad News''': The "lulzsters" struck [[Tony Ferguson]] once again, despite a long history of protection settings in the page log. Can you protect the page for ''even'' a longer period?
*'''Good News''': The [[coast is clear]] from [[little T]] the disambiguation page for a couple of years now. However, I could not chat with the protecting admin due to their prolonged inactivity on Wikipedia. Is it ok for you instead to reset pending changes?

:Hi. I don't know who {{tq|little T}} is, but it looks like I protected [[Tony Ferguson]] back in 2022. It was protected by another admin earlier in 2024 (an admin who is active now, or was a few of hours ago, at least).

Hello again! You and I had a brief discussion yesterday when I asked for an article about Laken Riley's killing to be semi-protected.

Hi El_C.  There is no reason given on the article talk page (or anywhere else I can see that justifies the Full Protection).

== Jordan ==

Hello, I just noticed the [[Jordan]] article had been placed under indef ECP in April, could you please tell me why this was done? Noting that there was an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jordan#Arbitration_enforcement_action_appeal_by_Makeandtoss ARBCOM ruling] that stated the Jordan article does not fall under ARBPIA, and also that there was not much disruption to the article beyond a single week in April. [[User:Makeandtoss|Makeandtoss]] ([[User talk:Makeandtoss|talk]]) 14:08, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
:Hey. So when attending to [[special:diff/1218895875|your protection request]], I saw excessive ARBPIA editing (disruptive or otherwise) by non-[[WP:XC]] accounts. That's the reason. As for that 2018 AE discussion: for our immediate purposes, it's somewhat academic whether the protection defines [[Jordan]] as a [[WP:ARBPIA4#Standing_sanctions_upon_primary_articles|''primary article'']] or as [[WP:ARBPIA4#General_sanctions_upon_related_content|''related content'']]. There's also the issue of that page having been protected <u>over 25 times</u> prior. For the longer term, though, there could be a case to downgrade it to (indef) semi as ''related content'' only, say, in a few months from now. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 18:08, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

== Edit request ==

Hello. You semi protected the page on the [[2024 Dagestan attack]] for a number of days, and its talk page is also semi-protected.

Previously, consistent with the wp norm, the first line of that article  began contained bolded language. In this case, saying:

:::"On 23 June 2024, the '''2024 Dagestan attack''' took place, when coordinated terrorist attacks were launched ..."

That has now been changed. It now says "On 23 June 2024, coordinated terrorist attacks were launched ..." There is no bolded language in the lede, matching the title. And I cannot fix that, or ask on the article talk page that it be fixed, as those pages are semi-protected.

Can you please restore the former format, consistent with out norms across the project?

I leave my request here as I am unable to do so on the article talk page, given that it has been semi-protected. [[Special:Contributions/2603:7000:2101:AA00:78CD:917F:7124:8DC3|2603:7000:2101:AA00:78CD:917F:7124:8DC3]] ([[User talk:2603:7000:2101:AA00:78CD:917F:7124:8DC3|talk]]) 03:40, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

They've also taken to posting ''numerous'' discussions at NPOVN and RSN recently, including at least one where they {{diff2|1230209560|admitted}} to not even reading the source they were reporting ({{tq|I didn't actually check the text}}).

Since the user that asked you to reduce the protection didn't know anything about the page situation, I think that is pretty unfair, for months me, Betty Logan and other users have to revert many edits because of that, so maybe you can put back the ECP even without knowing the page too much, like that user did in September 2023, if you "accepted" that request from a user that doesn't follow, doesn't edit and doesn't know the page, you can trust me, one of the main contributor, when I say that the page still needs the ECP, thanks--[[User:Luke Stark 96|Luke Stark 96]] ([[User talk:Luke Stark 96|talk]]) 19:11, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

I think extending the protection would probably help. It would mean that new/inexperienced editors would need to request the change on the talk page where the problem could be explained to them (if applicable).

== Question about a close ==

Hi El C. In your close [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive351#Unblock_request_of_Cognition|here]] you used the phrase {{tqq|with prejudice}}. This wording has come up in a few different places I've seen regarding appeals and so I was just wondering what you meant by it. Thanks, [[User:Barkeep49|Barkeep49]] ([[User_talk:Barkeep49|talk]]) 21:02, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
:Hey. This is over a year ago, but probably aligning with such comments as {{tq|''Hell no and reconsider after the heat death of the universe''}}, and so on. HTH. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 21:56, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
::While I have no eagerness to see this person unblocked (probably ever) it's been taken by a few admins to mean that the person can literally never appeal again, which strikes me as beyond the consensus of that conversation (and truthfully likely beyond policy consensus, at least as policy is written). Was it your intent to permanently close all future appeals? [[User:Barkeep49|Barkeep49]] ([[User_talk:Barkeep49|talk]]) 22:03, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
:::No, no, that was not my intent. I think at the time I was just, like, ''fuck that guy''. But I agree with what you say and, in any case, I would not have stood in the way of any future appeals. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 22:18, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
::::Thanks. I certainly can't argue with the sentiment you had at the time. Best, [[User:Barkeep49|Barkeep49]] ([[User_talk:Barkeep49|talk]]) 22:20, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

=== Request to reconsider a close on "with prejudice" ===

Hi El C. I know it's been a while, but you closed [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive351#Unblock_request_of_Cognition]], and since then I think the impact of your wording has been perhaps broader than intended. Your wording stated that the appeal was denied "with prejudice." While I understand the sentiment of the thread was that this user was unwelcome, the "with prejudice" wording suggests that we will never, ever unban them. While that might be true, it might not be, and telling someone to never come back just  encourages sockpuppeting. This has created a problem at UTRS where it's unclear if this user can appeal at all. So in the interest of resolving this issue, I wonder if you might reconsider your choice of wording in the close. I don't think the community has authorized the sort of decision to permaban people without any further chance of appeal.

:Hello. Please refer to the (now main) thread directly above, which I feel suffices for this singular incidence. If you need more from me, let me know. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 02:36, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
::@[[User:El C|El C]] Ah, my bad, I didn't see that @[[User:Barkeep49|Barkeep49]] had also raised the issue.

:::{{re|CaptainEek|Barkeep49}} To expand a bit (sorry, been pressed for time recently), I think there are ways in which future appeals ''can'' be limited by a closing admin in the course of a consensus for a CBAN, which is when reoccurring appeals are the subject of that consensus expressly. I've done this before. Two years probably tops (five unlikely). Indef denial of considering appeals ''is'' possible, but that'd be the exclusive domain of ARBCOM (project-wise, of course it could also happen at the Foundation level). This was reflexive on my part, which I do regret in so far as it inconveniencing my colleagues. And for that I apologize, {{u|Deepfriedokra}}, {{u|Jpgordon}}, and {{u|Yamla}}. Yours truly, [[User:El_C|El_C]] 06:54, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello there! I'm just reaching out to inform you that troll editors are back trying to mess with this page, since the protections were recently taken down.

== Ukrainian election vandalism ==

Hello! Unfortunately, the user I mentioned at [[WP:ANI#IP user re-adding unsubstantiated dates for next Ukrainian elections]], whom you partially blocked for two weeks, appears to be back under the new IP [[User:109.245.225.6]]; they are continuing the pattern of inserting 2025 as the next election date with no source and the edit summary "election proposed". I've reverted the latest edits again - the three articles affected are [[2019 Ukrainian presidential election]], [[2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election]], and [[next Ukrainian parliamentary election]].

Thank you for your help! [[User:Helpful Cat|Helpful Cat]] ([[User talk:Helpful Cat|talk]]) 15:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

== Another controversy with Mellk ==
{{hat|This lengthy note—with its many bold passages and many links—is not something I wish to engage with at this time, sorry. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 19:51, 1 November 2024 (UTC)}}
Hi, once again I have an issue with this user Mellk, who created another controversy seemingly out of nowhere and don't want to explain a proper reason for their reverts, regarding this they were already formally warned about by you. 

First, they reverted me in Kievan Rus' article [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kievan_Rus%27&diff=prev&oldid=1253500758], with a summary like this "'''"Land of Rus" not mentioned in source, WP:OR and other unexplained changes'''". I reverted them [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kievan_Rus%27&diff=prev&oldid=1253506128], and pointed out that it Rus' land is mentioned with sources literally above the section I edited (In [[Kievan Rus']], go to the "names" section and see an image with a sentence below:"Rus' land in narrow sense", which is sourced!), I also pointed out that I have already given an explanation for my changes in my last summary. They continued to persist and reverted my changes again, with a summary:"'''Image alone is not RS and overall this does not look like an improvement, you can start a talk page discussion about this'''. 
I didn't revert them again, as this is what other administrator suggested, so I wasn't doing any edit warring, and instead I decided to address this issue to them in a discussion in History of Ukraine talk page, expecting to solve the issue quickly [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:History_of_Ukraine#c-Mellk-20241026104900-Shahray-20241026104600], yet here they greeted me with this comment:"'''This talk page is only about improving this article. This does not count as spam. If you create a new topic there, I will explain my reasoning there in more detail'''". They basically told that it is I who must create new topic on Kievan Rus' talk page and only then they will give a proper explanation, as if it's not what they are supposed to do from the beginning . 
I addressed them this and after few responses, they eventually moved to the talk page of Kievan Rus' article, but answered under completely different topic created by another person, which they associated with me for some reason. I created a new topic for them, where 
they continued to write me this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kievan_Rus%27#c-Mellk-20241026114800-Shahray-20241026113600]:"'''There is also no mention of "Land of Rus" in Encyclopedia of Ukraine, and really, we should be using better sources than this. If this is based on the image, then this looks like synth. The other changes do not look like an improvement. For example, what is "the first Rus' people" supposed to mean? Also, changing "Vladimir the Great and Yaroslav the Wise tried to associate the name with all of the extended princely domains" to "the name was as well denoting all of the Kievan domains" changes the meaning'''". They continued to ignore the fact that the sentence below the image was sourced and I addressed them this. They also didn't know what Rus' people meant at different times, yet still addressed this as my issue. Seeing the lack of proper reasoning yet a persistent denial of my edits, I tried to ask for further details about why they see my changes as a WP:synth,[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kievan_Rus%27#c-Shahray-20241026120900-Mellk-20241026114800], and also told them to not waste time of other editors with a minor nitpicking or because of their own dull understanding of a subject. Instead of giving me a further proper response, they wrote me this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kievan_Rus%27#c-Mellk-20241026114800-Shahray-20241026113600]:"'' 'Since you are resorting to personal attacks once again, I have lost interest in discussing' ''".

Then they headed to the Talk page of other administrator and began to complain [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Asilvering#c-Mellk-20241026135300-Question]:"'''Hi asilvering, I am still finding it impossible to discuss edits with Shahray, already less than a day after their block expired'''". I obviously noticed this and addressed their childish behavior and unwillingness to cooperate. 

Surprisingly, other administrator wrote this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Asilvering#c-Asilvering-20241026153300-Mellk-20241026135300]:"'''Nah, I think you're fine to go to ANI about it. They've been blocked twice for this already, and now they might be doing WP:LOUTSOCK stuff'''". 

[[User:Asilvering|Asilvering]] supported them and suggested to report me on notice board, with absolutely no evidence of my guilt given, giving me some further nonsensical accusations like "sock puppetary", even though I wrote all my messages to Mellk from my personal account. Furthermore, Asilvering ignored my comment and my concerns about Mellk [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Asilvering#c-Asilvering-20241026153500-Asilvering-20241026153300] and wrote:"'''Go ahead and use that reply above as evidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯'''". 

Viewing this overall, a deliberate attempt to target me might take place, so I ask for a suggestion from you about how can we solve this situation and should Mellk receive a temporary block for a behavior they have been already warned about? Because they don't seem to want a peaceful solution and quickly drop out of the discussion after a few responses, persisting on deleting my changes at the same time.

== RE: Sarah Jama Page ==

Good evening El C,

I want to start off by thanking you for protecting the Sarah Jama page! It's badly needed. Also, I love the chipmunk pictures - I live near the Niagara Escarpment and one of my favourite things is hiking and finding all the wildlife on the trail, very much including quite a few chipmunks.

I'm having a lot of difficulty with the page for Sarah Jama. I'll send you a link to the version I created, which has been repeatedly sabotaged:

<nowiki>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sarah_Jama&oldid=1254559532</nowiki>

Some of my formatting isn't perfect, especially around dates for citations and so forth. But I think you'll agree that my content is objective, impartial, and well-substantiated. 

I see that you locked the page and required that extended confirmed users alone are allowed to make edits. While I applaud the protection, the problem is that the version implemented contains multiple very serious omissions, most notably MPP Sarah Jama's legislative work, which you'll see in my version, but not the page's current version.

Any help will be much appreciated, I only want the truth to be represented.

Pat [[User:PatHamilton47|PatHamilton47]] ([[User talk:PatHamilton47|talk]]) 01:31, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

:Hello [[User:PatHamilton47|PatHamilton47]]. Unfortunately, even if the edits (which I did not examine closely) are indeed {{tq|''objective, impartial, and well-substantiated''}}, that isn't pertinent to this action and also not for me to decide. The account restriction (to [[WP:XC]]) is an arbitration remedy ([[WP:PIA]], [[WP:ECR]]) that is meant as a ''technical'' limitation imposed by the [[WP:AC|Arbitration Committee]]. And not for me to decide even beyond that, per [[WP:INVOLVED]]. So the edits being correct—which short of [[WP:LIBEL]] outright is sorta in the eye of the beholder—would not be seen as a mitigating factor. Well, to a point. Say you had a good record of well-sourced edits and were at ~450 edits (50 short of the XC tenure)... in that instance, I might manually upgrade your permissions (and most admins wouldn't even do that as we have so little discretion in that area). But you're [[Special:Contributions/PatHamilton47|at 20]] at the time of writing, so not even close. So my suggestion would be for you to prioritize what you deem most pressing and formulate that through the '''''[[WP:ER|edit request]]''''' feature. Which is ''all'' you're allowed to do for this topic area until meeting the 30 days 500 edits requirement ([[WP:30/500]]). Sorry I don't have better news for you, but that's just how the system has been set up over the years, mostly to avoid canvassing and brigading in some of these especially [[WP:CTOP|contentious topics]]. Thank you. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 03:10, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
::[[User:PatHamilton47|PatHamilton47]], as an afterthought, you can see from a '''[[special:permalink/1255086310#Ongoing_Nakba|protection request]]''' (for the article [[Ongoing Nakba]]) from earlier today that, for my part, I at least try to avoid topic area edits by un-tenured users from being rejected offhand simply on the basis of lacking that tenure. Like the editor in that request who effectively said: ''I agree with the edits and think they're good, but I still undid them for lacking the tenure'' (i.e. on that basis only). It does sometimes feel like I'm fighting a losing battle, though. But I still try. Yours, [[User:El_C|El_C]] 09:42, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

==Notice of a discussion I think you'd be interested in knowing about==
	
Hey El C: I thought you might want to be aware of [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#Basic_strategy_proposal_and_further_efforts_at_communicating_the_degree_of_community_disapproval_to_the_WMF|this discussion]] (which includes not just the linked to thread, but a much larger one further above on VP/WMF).  In summary, it appears that the WMF is prepared to imminently disclose personally identifying information about volunteers in a controversial Indian court case, where a news agency is attempting to suppress Wikipedia's tertiary coverage of the content of secondary sources (which it considers unflattering) by going after a number of individual editors as defendants.  In order to comply with court orders in the case, it seems the WMF is prepared to share this information in what a number of us consider a pretty seismically bad idea and a betrayal of community priorities and values (the WMF has also already used an office action to remove an article reporting on the case, at the direction of the court for what said court regards as legitimate [[sub judice]] reasons).  
	
While the deletion of the article has been framed by the WMF as temporary step to preserve appeal on the overall case, and there are mixed feelings in the community response as to that so far, there is a much more uniform opposition to throwing the individual editors (at least one of whom is located in India and has profound apprehension about what this could mean for his life with regard to litigation and beyond) under the bus.  And yet the WMF appears to be prepared to share the information in question, as soon as Nov. 8.  Can I impose upon you to take a look at the matter and share your perspective? ''[[User:Snow Rise|<b style="color:#19a0fd;">S</b><b style="color:#66c0fd">n</b><b style="color:#99d5fe;">o</b><b style="color:#b2dffe;">w</b><b style="color:#B27EB2;">Rise</b>]][[User talk:Snow Rise|<sup><b style="color:#d4143a"> let's rap</b></sup>]]'' 00:51, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
:Hey. I'm sorry, but whatever this is, it is summarized poorly. Particularly, I've yet to see where it is expressly stated that {{tq|''the WMF is prepared to imminently disclose personally identifying information''}}, as soon as Nov. 8, that could then be subject to possible discovery or leaking. Of crouse, I'd strongly oppose such a gross overreach and betrayal by the Foundation. And of course, I'd rather the Foundation as representing the English Wikipedia refuse to cooperate with that Indian court, even if that means letting India (with its mass number of English speakers) go by the wayside like Russia, China, Turkey, etc. If only to avoid the likely class-action suit ''in America'' that could spell the demise of the WMF and by extension, its flagship English Wikipedia project. But the facts of the matter are unclear (within the thousands of words) and my time is limited by necessity as of late, notwithstanding even the potential gravity of such a measure. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 05:41, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
::Well, as to the certainty that a disclosure is imminent that is driving so much of the concern just now, it comes from one of the involved editors/potential defendants, who reached out to Valereee with a series of posts they wished Val to deliver into the thread on their behalf. In those messages, this editor (anonymous to the broader community at the present time) disclosed that they have been in touch with the WMF over the last few days and that the current WMF plan seems to be to disclose the PII to the court on the 8th.  So, not really much doubt at this moment in time, unfortunately.

== Mahsa Amini  ==

@[[User:El C|El C]], in [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mahsa Amini]]  you mentioned that ''the result was merge with an option to split in the near future''. Now after two years the articles [[Mahsa Amini]] and [[Death of Mahsa Amini]] have been split specially that Mahsa Amini has received [[Sakharov Prize]]. But some users once again are determined to remove Mahsa Amini article because of personal and political reasons. They are wrongly going to merge article [[Mahsa Amini]] into [[Death of Mahsa Amini]] whereas these articles need necessarily to be separated because both of them are notable and Mahsa Amin has received [[Sakharov Prize]]. I think a person who has received this important prize must have an article independently. Unfortunately some users are determined to remove her article just because of political reasons which is not acceptable in Wikipedia. Please help to stop merging these articles.

Looking at the source history for the [[ccp]] page it went from CPC to CCP did you do this? if so what's the purpose in intentionally spelling it wrong?

:Yes. The purpose was to enact the move request ([[WP:RM]]) for the non-admin closer who deemed there being consensus to move the page (they couldn't do it themselves because a redirect needed to be deleted in order for the move to work). And while this was 4 years ago and I was uninvolved in the move discussion itself, IIRC the basis for it was [[WP:COMMONNAME]]. HTH. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 02:24, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

== RFP ==

Hello! I updated an RFP nominee [[Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243]] which you declined at the time with some comments. But I'd like to ask if it would be necessary to move them under a new filing? [[User:Borgenland|Borgenland]] ([[User talk:Borgenland|talk]]) 10:04, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

== I need your help mate  ==

Hi, my former account on Wikipedia has been banned so i started editing with this IP. Recently you blocked [[Timeline of the Syrian civil war (November 2024–present)]] page. Im using SOHR as a neutral source. Can you please remove that blockade i can't edit, thanks.

:Hello. While I appreciate you being honest about that, you can't be [[WP:EVASION|evading a block or ban]], in general. So you'd need to sort that out at the original account's talk page with an [[WP:UNBAN]] or an [[WP:UNBLOCK]] appeal (which ever's applicable for you in this instance). And needless to say, watch out for any excesses, especially ones of an ethno-national nature. HTH. Thank you. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 18:56, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

== Requesting reduction of protection on [[Whopper]] ==

Page was protected 6 years ago due to sockpuppetry, probably safe to reduce to semi or remove protection altogether [[User:Heyaaaaalol|Heyaaaaalol]] ([[User talk:Heyaaaaalol|talk]]) 00:12, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

:Sounds like a bad idea. There's an active LTA currently targeting Whopper-related articles — see the page history of [[WhopperCoin]], for example. <span style="padding:2px 5px;border-radius:5px;font-family:Arial black;white-space:nowrap;vertical-align:-1px">[[User:CFA|<span style=color:#00c>C</span>]] <span style=color:red>F</span> [[User talk:CFA|<span style=color:#5ac18e>A</span>]]</span> 22:29, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

=== Various fast food-related articles indef EC protected/indef autoconfirmed protected ===

Hi,

I noticed the article for the [[Whopper]] was indefinitely EC-protected. I checked the logs and noticed you protected it and all of the socks that were editing the page were tagged as being socks of MRY. Since MRY is gone now, I don't think there is a need to EC-protect it. This continues with a lot of McDonalds-related pages, usually from damage from long-gone LTAs. I was wondering if you think this level of protection is still necessary. Thank you. [[User:Cutlass|<span style="color: maroon">Cutlass</span>]][[User talk:Cutlass|<sup><span style="color: blue">Ciera</span></sup>]]  20:24, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

:I don't oppose testing the waters at least with some of the more minor pages relating to this set of protections, but am not confident in doing it singlehandedly. That said, if you are able to convince an admin or a group of admins (at [[WP:RFPP/D]]) to reduce/lift some of these, so long as they agree to keep an eye on em, I've no objections. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 16:03, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

=== Requesting unprotection  ===

I did a deep dive on why are these burger articles protected. I feel like the LTA have been extinct. So, requesting unprotection at [[Krabby Patty]], [[McSpicy]], [[McArabia]], [[Kiwiburger]], [[McFlurry]], [[McVegan]], and other type of burger articles. 🍕[[User:Boneless Pizza!|<span style="background:orange;border-radius:9999px;padding:1px 8px;color:white;"><span style="font-weight:bold">B</span>P!</span>]]🍕 ([[User talk:Boneless Pizza!|🔔]]) 19:44, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
:Well, unfortunately, I can't go by feelings. When I am able to be more available, I'm willing to try downgrading a limited number at a time, though only after I feel reasonably confident they're all closely watched. Otherwise, it could be pursued as I laid out in the reply directly above. {{re|Boneless Pizza!|Cutlass|CFA}} courtesy pings. Thank you. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 05:45, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

===Semi-protected [[Slugburger]] article===
You semi-protected this article indefinitely after an outbreak of vandalism spanning five days nearly six years ago. I remind you that temporary protection is an option, and ask for it to be unprotected so that I can correct the problem that the lead doesn't sufficiently define the topic. [[Special:Contributions/98.47.213.93|98.47.213.93]] ([[User talk:98.47.213.93|talk]]) 02:57, 8 June 2025 (UTC)
:The vast overwhelming majority of the ~10K pages I've protected had an expiration, so in that context, that reminder is moot. Anyway, this was part of persistent vandalism involving many dozens of pages. My understanding is that work is progressing by another admin to address em as a batch. But because this is one of the least high profile pages among them, it's probably fine to do it immediately (especially if there's contributions you'd like to make to it). HTH.

== Regarding 'Talk:2025 Potomac River mid-air collision' ==

Hello El_C, this is just a message regarding the page [[Talk:2025 Potomac River mid-air collision]] that you semi-protected for a week yesterday. The person who racked up drama soon before the protection was actually already autoconfirmed ([[Special:Contribs/NemorosusMens|see profile]]), thus semi-protection wouldn't have been able to stop them. And [[Special:Diff/1273296153|this]] is the only disruptive post I've found from a non-AC editor in the last 24 hours prior to the protection. Not asking for removal of protection, just an evaluation. That's all. —&nbsp;[[User:AP 499D25|<span style="background:#1F6295;color:white;padding:1q 5q;border-radius:10q;font-family:Franklin Gothic, Verdana">AP&nbsp;499D25</span>]] [[User talk:AP 499D25|<span style="color:#1A527D">(talk)</span>]] 07:13, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
:I don't need to see their profile, as I am the one who [[special:diff/1273434061|blocked them indef]] (which even a cursory evaluation on your part would have shown). Regardless, due to the sensitivity of the subject matter (also in terms of factual veracity), I still felt a week semiprotection would be best. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 09:43, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
::Alright, haha I didn't notice that as I was actually only looking at the red banner showing the latest block log entry where 331dot had unplugged talk page access and not the talk page or block log. Anyways though, I think that's a reasonable decision to come to, especially given that the article is about a terrible tragedy (man I really wonder what's going on, esp. with the medevac crash following shortly after). The article actually used to be unprotected for a few days after the last protection expired which made me thought people have finally behaved for once, then I noticed that not only was it protected again yesterday but the protection of the talk page only followed so soon after, which seemed a little insane to me. But thanks! —&nbsp;[[User:AP 499D25|<span style="background:#1F6295;color:white;padding:1q 5q;border-radius:10q;font-family:Franklin Gothic, Verdana">AP&nbsp;499D25</span>]] [[User talk:AP 499D25|<span style="color:#1A527D">(talk)</span>]] 12:11, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
:::Thanks. To sharpen: it's obviously very egregious of them to have stated that Elon Musk orchestrated this tragedy, citations pending (or rather, source: they made it the fuck up), so I didn't want to risk them immediately returning as an IP to repeat that now-redacted fabrication.

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Suicide of Nautica Malone]] ==

This is a diddly issue.  I am not disagreeing with the [[WP:SNOW|snowball]] deletion.  I am disagreeing with the notation that the article was speedily deleted.  I think that I recall having seen that an [[WP:EARLY|early]] close via the [[WP:SNOW|snowball]] clause is not the same as a speedy deletion, because it does not rely on any of the [[WP:CSD|criteria for speedy deletion]].  I am not questioning the closure, only the note about the closure.  I was about to make this comment in the [[WP:MFD|MFD]] of three related drafts, but that MFD was also early-closed.  It's a terminological point.  [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon|talk]]) 18:11, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello El_C, you protected the [[User:Example]] page in 2021 here [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Example&diff=prev&oldid=1047228303], with the edit summary "in parallel with the talk page".

The [[User talk:Example]] page was indeed protected in 2019 here [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Example&diff=prev&oldid=877269715], per RfPP request [[Special:Diff/877267891]] "This page is a magnet for misplaced Notification: Your Articles for Creation submission has been declined (AFCH 0.9) posts. The problem with this is that the users who submit the articles for creation don't get their notices."

I think [[User:Example]] can remain unprotected, the page has been remarkably quiet and disruption free over the years prior to the protection, so I would like to request unprotection. Thanks! [[User:Kenneth Kho|Kenneth Kho]] ([[User talk:Kenneth Kho|talk]]) 22:10, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

:Stating that a protected page has been quiet often simply implies that the protection is working as intended.

Hello.

I know it is already protected but it is better the way you do it because then the edits and corresponding sources are clearly visible and it is decided later what is convenient in the end.

== Downgrade protection of the article: United States ==

So many editors are locked out because they don't have extended-confirmed access that could be valuable contributors to the article. Please put the article [[United States]] in a probationary period of auto confirmed access to see whether extended-confirmed is truly needed. Its been 2 years since the last protection log and I think testing the waters is safe now. My proposal also suggests that if vandalism occurs twice at all in the probationary period, the probation is considered as failed and the United States will remain under indefinite extended-confirmed.

:We tried that a few times, but it never worked.

I wrote [[User:Gerda Arendt/Stories#24 Apr|my story today]] and then found it's the person's funeral day. - I hated to see DYK for [[Johannes-Passion (Gubaidulina)]] today instead of Good Friday, but it seems also right in the context. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 17:23, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

I finally managed to upload the pics I meant for Easter, see places. - Also finally, I managed a FAC, [[Easter Oratorio]]. I wanted that on the main page for Easter Sunday, but no, twice.

== India-Pakistan border conflicts article protection ==

Hello ''Senior'' Captain Cornwood sir. :D I wanted to bring to your attention five articles regarding Indian-Pakistani border skirmishes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_India%E2%80%93Pakistan_border_skirmish][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_India%E2%80%93Pakistan_border_skirmishes][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014%E2%80%932015_India%E2%80%93Pakistan_border_skirmishes][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016%E2%80%932018_India%E2%80%93Pakistan_border_skirmishes][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%9321_India%E2%80%93Pakistan_border_skirmishes]. If you check the edit history, in the last day, there have been a number of attempts by the newly-created account Shoriful islam46 to insert false Indian casualty figures that are contrary to the cited references. He has also attempted to insert other incorrect information in one more article, that is contrary to the citations, and he has continued with his attempts, calling them "corrections", despite being reverted by a number of editors. It would then seem this is simply a single-purpose POV-pushing account. The user has been warned at least once that his edits are unconstructive. So I wanted to point out the situation for you to see if the four articles warrant protection. Thanks in advance as always! [[User:EkoGraf|EkoGraf]] ([[User talk:EkoGraf|talk]]) 20:26, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
:I have reported the situation at the administrator's noticeboard on incidents [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Vandalism_by_Shoriful_islam46] where me and one other editor have listed all of Shoriful islam46's disruptive edits (diffs) individually. So you can get a better overview there. He has continued the disruptive editing even today after being warned of the report. He is now even inserting false figures that are different from the ones he was inserting before. [[User:EkoGraf|EkoGraf]] ([[User talk:EkoGraf|talk]]) 14:42, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
::He has been blocked for 24 hours. But given his lack of communication, as another editor pointed out, I have little hope he will correct himself after the block expires. We will see. [[User:EkoGraf|EkoGraf]] ([[User talk:EkoGraf|talk]]) 10:04, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

== Determining if a country article gets indefinite protection ==

Hi El C, I noticed that you're the protecting administrator behind several country articles. I would just like to know what makes you determine if an indefinite protection is warranted for such of these articles? Is it how much disruption had been going on, or is it by how many number of previous protections? Some had been indefinitely protected  after less than ten protections (such as [[Cambodia]] and [[Madagascar]]), while others are indefinitely protected after over ten, 20, even 30 previous protections (such as [[Brazil]], [[Portugal]], and [[Somalia]]). The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=protect&user=&page=Madagascar&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype=&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist| protection log] for Madagascar shows that it seemed to be fine without semi-protection from 2013 to 2024, but then how much disruption had suddenly been going on for it to earn an indefinite semi-protection [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection/Archive/2024/04#Madagascar|on April last year]]? Why isn't the [[Mauritius]] article still not indefinitely protected after almost [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=protect&user=&page=Mauritius&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist| 15 previous protections]? (Right now, it doesn't seem to be having any disruptive activity to justify another protection.) [[User:BriDash9000|BriDash9000]] ([[User talk:BriDash9000|talk]]) 17:05, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
:Hey [[User:BriDash9000|BriDash9000]]. Ten protections is actually not a small amount, but in these cases, that could be misleading, since high-visibility articles will have many page watchers, so disruption might simply be reverted near-instantly with little to any accompanying reports. So the revision history often better informs about the state of a high profile article rather than protection actions. Of course, it varies wrt how sustained the disruption is or how egregious. And admin interpretation does also vary. But for me, it often just comes down to reporting (or lack thereof). Has the article been reported, what the report states, and does it align. For example, I likely protected Mauritius for a brief duration (for 2 days on Feb 2025) because of a more isolated edit war reported at that time rather than more generic disruption. So, there is no simple answer and there are various factors to consider. If there's anything I learned after ~10K protections, it's that. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 05:20, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

== Semi-protected [[Avicii]] article ==

Hi @[[User:El C|El C]], can give me an explain why the [[Avicii]] article was semi-protected 3 years ago? Because as far as I know, semi-protection only applies to compliance with the policy on biografies of living persons. Can you explain it to me, because I'm just wondered. Thanks. [[User:Rizky Juliandief|Rizky Juliandief]] ([[User talk:Rizky Juliandief|talk]]) 03:46, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
:Hello. No, semiprotection is not limited to [[WP:BLP]] enforcement, see the [[WP:PP|protection policy]] for further details. Anyway, while it was three years ago, so I do not recall the actual specifics, it looks like I protected it due to [[WP:DE|disruptive editing]]. And I likely set that protection not to expire because that page was already protected nearly 30 times prior. HTH. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 04:54, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

== You blocked a user before, they're doing it again. ==

Hi @[[User:El C|El C]], you blocked user @[[User:Muydivertido|Muydivertido]] for their edit warring on the [[Hussain Shahi dynasty]] and [[Alauddin Husain Shah]] pages. (See your block here) [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Muydivertido&diff=prev&oldid=1237433610]

They've recently restarted their disruption again.

== [[Flour]] ==

Hi El C, it's been three years since you placed the [[Flour]] article under semi-protection due to apparent [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry|sockpuppetry]] and also stating 'tried, didn't work, back to indef', referring to the fact that the article was previously protected indefinitely,  and the [[Wikipedia:Rough_guide_to_semi-protection#Shortening_or_removing_protection|unprotection test]] failed. However, looking at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=protect&user=&page=Flour&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype=&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist protection log], it was never semi-protected indefinitely before; it was actually ''move'' protected indefinitely from 2008 to 2021, so your statement other than the sockpuppetry issue is illogical. I'm still fine if the protection is still necessary, given the fact this is a common subject and the article having gained 240,393 views in the past year (see [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2024-06-19&end=2025-06-19&pages=Flour here]).
