==Indefinitely pending-protected pages by an inactive user==
== [[British Government frontbench]] rank ==
I made requests in the previous month in the hopes of anyone addressing my statements, to say the least. However, those requests, including [[swimming (disambiguation)]], have been discarded with no input from admins due to a user who persistently insists that I am an affiliate of a telly-vandal who appears to live in the same range as I am. [[special:diff/1225308652|These were my reasons for unprotection]].[[Special:Contributions/102.156.121.163|102.156.121.163]] ([[User talk:102.156.121.163|talk]]) 15:22, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 
:Given what happened [[Special:Permalink/1225130741#baseball bat, cyanide, ultrasound and Yuri Gagarin|the last time I answered your requests at RfPP]] (the lack of disruption afterwards suggests that you aren't asking for the articles to be unprotected so that you can disrupt them), I will take you at your word that you aren't them. This is also taking [[Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Television vandal from Tunisia|the LTA page]] into account. Unprotected, given the general lack of activity and disruption (FYI: {{u|Favonian}} and {{u|Ohnoitsjamie}}). [[User:Sdrqaz|Sdrqaz]] ([[User talk:Sdrqaz#top|talk]]) 02:25, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
Hey, I was slightly perplexed by your 12:47 15 February edit on [[British Government frontbench]] page. The rank of the posts that they were appointed to had been kept in the previous edits and I don't understand the logic behind not having the ministers in rank order (so Secretary of State, Minister of State, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State). Please enlighten me regarding this matter.
:: Personally I agree with Favonian that we shouldn't be wasting our time processing requests from a likely sock, but on the other hand I don't particularly care whether or not swimming is protected at this time. If this user starts filling up RFPP again with pointless requests I will likely block them however. <b>[[User:Ohnoitsjamie|OhNo<span style="color: #D47C14;">itsJamie</span>]] [[User talk:Ohnoitsjamie|<sup>Talk</sup>]]</b> 02:44, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
:::Honestly typing, that is what I planned to do in the future, but compiling the pages in one edit [[special:diff/1224351849|like this one]], nonetheless excluding media-related articles given the fact that the LTA case in my region being prevalent. But seriously, I was making requests mainly because of two reasons: 1)Page protector is inactive, and 2)Page is protected long enough (provided that it doesn't have a lengthy list of protection history). Why are you considering my case "pointless"? If you believe they are "pointless", then why did you accept my request for unprotecting [[pool (cue sports)]] in the first place?[[Special:Contributions/102.156.121.163|102.156.121.163]] ([[User talk:102.156.121.163|talk]]) 07:14, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
:::{{re|Ohnoitsjamie}} These requests are pretty valid from a policy point of view and are not what I would call pointless (I could get that perspective if they were requesting semi-protection removals for redirects, but these are "live" pages that have very little need for continued protection). I hope that the link between the LTA and these IPs isn't just being made because they're from Tunisia, given that this IP doesn't fit into the behavioural clues listed at the LTA page regarding lack of communication. [[User:Sdrqaz|Sdrqaz]] ([[User talk:Sdrqaz#top|talk]]) 15:43, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
::::Not only "lacking communication skills", but also persistent reverts. Users might have mistaken me an LTA user by accounting my reverts to [[special:diff/225159203|this edit]] as well as [[special:diff/1224082347|this edit]]. I am currently decreasing my activity for a while, as a means of accepting the [[wp:so]], provided that one of my ranges is meant to be blocked for 3 months.
::::I find out that negotiating issues with experienced editors interesting. However, there is one thing I intend to avoid but also uncertain if I am ever commiting it (if it is, I am sorry to type this) and that is: [[wp:hounding]]. I understand such behaviour leads to serious consequences/sanctions, but how can anyone tell if I am ever commiting it?

::I realized you did not remove or shorten protection from one of the pages. Since I have made that request again at [[user talk:lectonar]], I am unlikely that I would request that again given that he explained why indefinite protection is still necessary, albeit being protected for over five years.[[Special:Contributions/102.156.121.163|102.156.121.163]] ([[User talk:102.156.121.163|talk]]) 07:14, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
:::I assume that this is about [[Special:Permalink/1228598107#Protection of Big Brother series|the ''Big Brother'' articles]]. I don't really agree with that (I'm biased, but I think that [[Special:Permalink/1224388988#All Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards ceremonies articles between 2005 and 2018|my solution of introducing time limits]] for the Nickelodeon awards worked out all right), but I'll defer to {{u|Lectonar|him}} on this. [[User:Sdrqaz|Sdrqaz]] ([[User talk:Sdrqaz#top|talk]]) 15:43, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
::::The difference being that you down-protected almost all of them from semi to pending (actually that's also my take, downgrade to pending with time-limit, to evaluate the effect of it) whereas the Big brother ones are ''only'' pending changes protected to start with, afaics, and are still experiencing disruption on a lower level. [[User:Lectonar|Lectonar]] ([[User talk:Lectonar|talk]]) 07:19, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
:::::True, but when there are on average only two reverted edits by non-autoconfirmed users in the past year, the need for continued protection is not as pronounced. [[User:Sdrqaz|Sdrqaz]] ([[User talk:Sdrqaz#top|talk]]) 21:51, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
::::Presently, the 2024 edition is experiencing dubious edits, albeit once protected for a week, earlier this month. What can you do?[[Special:Contributions/102.159.182.25|102.159.182.25]] ([[User talk:102.159.182.25|talk]]) 12:39, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
:::::I'm wary that protection will be interpreted as an endorsement of a side in the [[Special:Diff/1229532681|only]]/[[Special:Diff/1230108331|first]] argument (and it should not be interpreted as such), but will place [[2024 Kids' Choice Awards]] under pending changes for two weeks.

Im sorry but what exactly did your remove from my user page?? [[User:RegierungDavidlands1852|RegierungDavidlands1852]] ([[User talk:RegierungDavidlands1852|talk]]) 10:09, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
:I placed the ranks to show what level they hold in terms of ministerial seniority. Then there's also the appointments eg [[Minister for Defence Procurement]] and [[Minister of State for the Armed Forces]] which are the responsibilities they hold. Under those pages, they show the post holder, regardless if they were PUSS or Min of State. Those holding these appointments for example, can alternate or be promoted. [[Philip Dunne (Ludlow MP)]] for example was a Min State (I believe) for Defence Procurement, then Harriet Baldwin took the appointment but as a PUSS. It switches in every reshuffle. Feel free to rank them accordingly but I think it's best to show both rank and appointment and commons first, lords last. I'm not an expert on the formatting so thanks for the labelling.
 
:Hi, {{u|RegierungDavidlands1852}}. I removed some personal information from your user page, including information about your location. The material was [[WP:OS|suppressed]], meaning that the information was removed from public view, with administrators also unable to access it (only [[WP:OS#Users with oversight permissions|members of the Oversight team]] can).{{pb}}This was done to prevent possible harassment; you may find [[WP:OPCAD#Harassment related to personal information|this]] useful. As there is still some personal information on your user page, you may want to remove some of that too after reading the link above.

::Hi [[User:BlueD954|BlueD954]], thanks for getting back to me. It's just that previously that page had integrated the offices as one piece of information so the role was Minister of State for Middle East & North Africa instead of Minister for Middle East & North Africa, Minister of State. I had followed this format because it seemed more concise as it coalesced the information into a single piece. Also I'd like to clarify what you mean when you write that you want to put rank and appointment first. Obviously rank means Secretary of State, Minister of State etc but what do you mean by appointment?
 
::I'd also like to agree with you on how it's been difficult to find information. I've been using [https://www.gov.uk/government/news/latest-updates-on-ministerial-appointments-13-february-2020 Ministerial appointments: February 2020] for most of my information.

== Nomination of [[:List of Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign endorsements]] for deletion ==
<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|48px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article '''[[:List of Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign endorsements]]''' is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].

:[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]], I am most grateful for your notification that the article is up for deletion and have contributed to the discussion accordingly. Although I am certain that you are a far more experienced user of Wikipedia than I, it seems like the discussion has gotten slightly personal and perhaps uncivil. I think it would be conducive to the health of the discussion that we refrain from engaging in incivility when discussing matters with fellow users who, like you and I, simply want what is best for Wikipedia at large.
