All articles on Disney films probably need semi-protection at this point

[edit]

If you look at articles on Disney Animation and Pixar films, they are getting hit hard with vandalism every day or every other day. I'm thinking it's probably time to implement a categorical policy of semi-protection for all articles on the English Wikipedia on all films produced or distributed by the Walt Disney Company, animated or live-action.

We don't do that. See WP:PREEMPTIVE. InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:18, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will say, it is quite out of control. It's pointless blocking the IPs. Mike Allen 20:52, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. It's only Disney and Pixar films that seem to get hit particularly hard by vandals every day because they are so prominent. We're not seeing this level of craziness with Warner or Paramount films. --Coolcaesar (talk) 21:08, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New logo and citations

[edit]

That new 2024 logo is fake and there’s no evidence showing the new logo existing. Possible troll or fan account to change the wikimedia. Also there doesn’t need to be a need citation for Mickey Mouse being the mascot of Disney. That’s common sense and fact. 2600:8804:169C:4600:B968:2F15:E521:82C6 (talk) 18:04, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fully concur on the first point, but not the second. People from cultures in which Disney is merely a significant brand but not a dominant one are less likely to be aware of Mickey Mouse's status as the company mascot. In the meantime, I've already reverted the improper alteration of the logo in the infobox and reinstated the prior logo, which actually resembles the one used on the official company web site. --Coolcaesar (talk) 18:43, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As the 2024 logo contributor on Logopedia website, I can prove the 2024 logo is not fake, as the logo now appears on some news on Disney Japan website, including https://www.disney.co.jp/corporate/news/2024/20241120 and https://www.disney.co.jp/corporate/news/2024/20241127_01 .
However, as I mentioned on Logopedia that this logo only appears on several Asia-based Disney events and is not officially introduced, I believe that based on Wikipedia’s editing guidelines, the company article should only use the primary logo. Hence I would support User:Coolcaesar’s decision to revert previous back to current Disney company-wide-use logo.
