Edit on numbers

Interim president as well as coup leaders are never counted on these pages of list of head of state. Please discuss this on here instead of pushing non consensual changes. --Aréat (talk) 17:49, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Aréat: Something really should be done about this IP vandalism. I'm reverting vandalism like this on similar articles for days now, and I'll continue to do that, but something more should be done. --Sundostund (talk) 18:45, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I know there is tools that can be used in such case, like asking for the page to be semi protected so mere IP can't edit them, or asking for the ban of an IP. Sadly I'm not so familiar with these tools, even less on the english wiki. I would advise looking it up if you do think it should be done. Cordially. --Aréat (talk) 19:27, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Aréat: I'm not quite familiar with them myself... It seems to me that problem is complex because variety of articles are targeted, and the person in question uses dynamic IP addresses. Its hard to protect all those articles, and to place a range block on so many IP addresses. Someone far more familiar with this than me should look into the options here; if you know such a person please notify them. --Sundostund (talk) 20:11, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I don't. Again, though, I would bet there's some help page on this that you could eventually find starting from the left bar. I wish you well. --Aréat (talk) 20:30, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sundostund: Well, I started the process for this page protection on Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. It's quite simple, actually. --Aréat (talk) 09:59, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Aréat: Well done. I'll start the same process myself for some other articles, if vandalism there proves to be as persistent as on this one. --Sundostund (talk) 12:45, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
