Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – We have a problem with a new editor not understanding the process of adding sources..... Let's make this unedible for them for a few days until we can figure this out. Best we teach them what to do than just block them out right. Moxy🍁 15:31, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DeclinedWarn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Sorry, but it's difficult to justify protecting the page on account of a single user, not to mention at WP:ECP level, and not to mention going from no protection straight to to ECP (and finally for a page that has never been protected before).

O well..... We will just go ahead and block another potential editor. Moxy🍁 20:55, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can work to adjust the protection policy accordingly (I have no strong view either way), but I can't violate it on a whim, Moxy. El_C 21:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was hoping to go to the soft route with a child editor. Moxy🍁 21:08, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't even know how to respond to that. El_C 23:48, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We have someone who seems enthusiastic about editing here...... but they're headed down the path to a block. Would be best if we can guide them rather than kick them to the curb. Moxy🍁 23:58, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You know, an editor can be "surgically" blocked from editing a single article. Warn appropriately and let me know if the problem persists. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:01, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your wording and approach on the users talk page.... This is something I always have a problem with
...
. That is the proper approach. Moxy🍁 00:56, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'm awful, I get it. El_C 01:22, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Last edit May 21. Before that May 8. Before that May 2. And before that, we're in April. It's just too low activity to qualify for protection. Check out some requests of pages that were protected to see the degree of activity that's usually expected. El_C 01:26, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
