Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 12:17, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Request indef EC protection of this ARBPIA article. Frequent unsatisfactory non-EC edits. Zerotalk 14:10, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: The subject of the article regularly makes edits (via IP address) which then have to be reverted by others due to being contrary to the results of earlier COI edit requests: e.g. recently [1], [2], [3]. See also, edits under a previous IP address here [4]. Some form of page protection would seem desirable to prevent IP addresses from editing the article directly. (Copying in Melcous who has had previous experience on this article.) Axad12 (talk) 14:30, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Having had the chance to look further into this issue, there is a recurring problem that has been going on since 2020 where various IP addresses, claiming to be the subject, either (a) make an edit contrary to COI policy, (b) make an edit contrary to COI policy and directly afterwards make a (rather redundant) COI edit request on the article talk page, (c) make a COI edit request and then make the edit themselves within an hour or so of making the request, or (d) make a COI edit request and then after it has been declined (they are almost all declined) make the edit themselves. These sorts of edits have been frequently reverted and the user has often been asked not to edit the article themselves. So, as per my earlier request, page protection to prevent the subject from editing the page via IP addresses would be appreciated. Axad12 (talk) 19:59, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Dear Administrators,

I am requesting page protection for the "Doping in China" article due to ongoing biased edits that appear to be part of a coordinated effort to sanitize the page and portray the country in a more favorable light. These edits are consistently removing well-sourced information about doping incidents in China and replacing it with content that downplays or outright denies these issues.

These changes violate Wikipedia’s Neutral Point of View (NPOV) policy and seem intended to obscure the reality of doping incidents in China, thus misleading readers. Given the repeated nature of these edits and the clear agenda behind them, I believe that page protection is necessary to preserve the integrity of the article.

I suggest temporary or semi-permanent protection to prevent further biased modifications and to ensure that only well-sourced, neutral content remains on the page.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
