Six months since Brunei's protection was downgraded

Hi Callanecc, it's been six months since the Brunei article protection was downgraded from semi to pending changes. The article's recent history shows that pending changes seems to be working well here; of the 64 edits since pending changes was applied, there have been constructive, accepted edits from IP users, but some of them have been reverted as either disruptive editing or vandalism. I'm checking the article's history every so often to see whether significant disruption returns, though there hasn't been a reverted edit since August. I do have to note that just because the language edition article of that country's official language isn't protected (such as the Malay edition of Brunei) doesn't mean that the English edition article is safe from disruption. You were the last one who upgraded the Slovakia article protection from pending changes to semi back in May. This was sensible as pending changes wasn't stopping IP users from changing its name to "Death to the war criminal state Russia!" multiple times. Meanwhile, the Slovak edition of that article isn't protected. As two other European country articles (Lithuania and Luxembourg) are also seeing the same sort of vandalism whenever they are not protected ([1], [[2]), I don't think it would be safe to remove or downgrade Slovakia's protection for the time being. When you mentioned that the Singapore article is indefinitely semi-protected in that discussion, I would understand that; unlike Brunei, a country which not many talk about, Singapore is one of the more popular countries out there, which is why I think it wouldn't be good to have its protection below semi.

About Waris Ali shah

How can i be allowed to edit this page as I have asked a protection for this page beacause of vandelism but I can't edit it anymore can you allow me to edit it Ismaiel Khan (talk) 01:45, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Ismaiel, the page has been semi-protected which means that only editors who've had an account for more than 4 days and made at least 10 edits can edit the page. There is some more information about this at WP:AUTOCONFIRM. This is designed to ensure that editors who have some knowledge and experience with Wikipedia are contributing to it given the issues with editing. While you wait for that to happen you can make requests for edits on the article's talk page using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. When you try to edit the article this will appear with some instructions. I've left a welcome message on your talk page with some ideas on what you can do in the meantime.

AE result

Hi @Callanecc, I hope all is well. This is regarding the latest action for this AE.

I believe the consensus was not to indef tban me from ACAS like the other party; I was to only receive some admin action for a couple uncivil comments I made; Newslinger suggested a warning/1-week ban, Sennecaster said if they're not topic banned here, at the next instance of incivility they're either getting a block or a topic ban

More re: Sennecaster's comment, I do not believe it was wholly applicable, being largely speculative based on one interaction - in which I've shown good faith by asking a relevant admin for advice and defending myself against a false accusation. Moreover, I have previously done well with content dispute discussions, even when I didn't get my way [3] [4]

Could you please re-check the AE to make sure? Many thanks. ~ Hogshine (talk) 08:15, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Beyond that, I've made significant contributions to ACAS topics, like rewriting John of Tella, Chronicle of Zuqnin, Cave of Treasures, Barhebraeus, and many more. Would greatly appreciate it if you would reconsider. ~ Hogshine (talk) 08:15, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi Hogshine, I'd be willing to modify it to a ban from making comments about the conduct of other editors on article talk pages as it was one of the options raised in the AE discussions with the understanding that if you breach it it's likely to be replaced with a straight TBAN. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:58, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

That is totally fair and appropriate. I promise not to discuss user conduct in article talk pages - only appropriate venues like ANIs - from here on out. Failing to adhere to that, total TBAN and/or sitewide ban is to be applied. ~ Hogshine (talk) 10:09, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

No clear reason

I hope all is well with you Callanecc,

I see that I was indefinitely topic banned from ACAS, however, the reason given seems not clear to me.

ScottishFinnishRadish said "Give 777network and Historynerd361 topic bans from WP:GS/ACAS" but no reason regarding me.

I read about off-wiki coordination worries, but it seems that was dropped after my reply addressing it, I also noticed "A week before that, 777network did make approximately 70 unconstructive date format changes" is this the basis of my ban? 777network (talk) 12:30, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @777network, the basis for the ban is the rough consensus of administrators in the thread who believe that there is a net benefit in not having you in the topic area at this stage. The basis for this is the off-wiki coordination/communication, the date format changes and the potential proxying for a topic banned editor. While we can litigate each of these reasons that isn't actually the precise reason for the ban as it is about admins believing it would be best to remove you from the topic area at this point. Having said that I see no reason why in 3-6 months of constructive editing in other topic areas that the topic ban wouldn't be removed. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 23:28, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
