List of all-time NBA win–loss records

Reason: Persistent IP disruptive edits. Please see the list's talk page, as well as message I left on relevant WikiProject talk page.

Multiple IPs being used (at least 4: 1; 2; 3; 4), and largely ignoring my edit summaries, as well as talk page messages, and user talk page messages.

@Ad Orientem: You said "Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection." but please look at the list's edit history, and you'll see there is actually a lot of such activity. IPs have reverted edits from another user (see here). Soulbust (talk) 20:27, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Soulbust I'm seeing a very large body of IP edits and only a handful have been reverted. That said, I'm also seeing corrective editing. Most of the anonymous edits have been by a couple of IPs. We don't usually protect pages when the problem is just one or two editors. Once adequately warned, if the disruption persists then we issue blocks. The problem with page protection, and the reason we treat it as a last resort, is that it prevents constructive editing by anonymous users. Sometimes that's unavoidable but we try to keep it to a minimum. Is this actual vandalism, or just well-intentioned edits that are not helpful? If it's actual vandalism and warnings have been issued, either ping me with diffs or report it to AIV. Otherwise, as frustrating as it may be, try to communicate with the IPs to let them know they are not helping and why. If all else fails, we can page block them. Let me know if you have any questions or I'm missing something. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:54, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Quick clarification to the above. Those are probably just two editors as they are each operating within a /64 range. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:57, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay thank you for the reply. I think it is a bit tricky for sure, as there is some positive to glean from the edits that've been made. But they're just amid a bunch of very (perhaps disruptive is too strong a word here) unconstructive(?) or unhelpful edits. I've tried to communicate through the edit summaries and whatnot, and that has recently seemed to at least garner some sort of actual edit summaries being made by the IP editors. I'll try to navigate the issue, as I am assuming good faith here, and do believe that because a portion of the edits are actually constructive, that all of them are being made with well-meaning intent. Idk, it is incredibly frustrating like you suggested, but I'll try to work with it. Soulbust (talk) 00:33, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bay of Pigs

Reason: Repeated undiscussed move events A Tree In A Box (talk) 03:59, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps blocking the particular user that is doing the moving is best. I just don’t think they understand that they need to do an RFC. A Tree In A Box (talk) 04:01, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Move protected It's a newbie, and not being knowledgeable in the ways of the wiki isn't a blockable offense :). Lectonar (talk) 08:40, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – We have a user who did some dummy edits to come and vandalise the page and is currently engaged in warring. In this investigation I flagged almost 6 accounts created in two weeks to target this page and another page. FuzzyMagma (talk) 09:02, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
