'''Indefinite full protection:''' Potentially unorthodox request here: I am requesting that this page be fully-protected. Here's the explanation: This page was originally moved to be a subpage of its proper page back in 2019-ish; however, the bot that maintains this page, [[User:Community Tech bot|Community Tech bot]], rather than following the redirect to update the live page, overwrite the redirect (the page I'm asking to be fully protected) with the most recent results ... so I recently had to move the pages again (see the edit histories for this page and its target for further information.) For this reason, and in the event the bot operator may not be able to fix this error with its bot in a timely manner, I'm requesting this page be fully protected so the problem ... which occurred 5 years ago and apparently had continued to occur after that until now ... does not occur again. (For the record, I did confirm that [[User:Community Tech bot|Community Tech bot]] is not flagged as an administrator.)

Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – The article was created by an undisclosed paid editor and was draftified but it was recently moved to the main namespace by a spa after gaining the autoconfirmed status. Since it include paid edits and was created in a violation of WP:PAID this must go through the AfC process. GSS💬 04:49, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Technically it has only been recreated once, if at all, as I can find no deletions....it's more a moving back and forth from main to draftspace. PAID also doesn't forbid users to create pages or modify them, they just need to declare themselves. Lectonar (talk) 06:37, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Zingo156 (talk) 06:55, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:52, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Speculative portfolios without citations are being heavily added by IPs. Temporary semi protection at-least for 2 days is requested. Thewikizoomer (talk) 09:11, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Doesn't look like they're being reverted. Try that first. Daniel Case (talk) 19:10, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – We've had a couple of days now where the name of the artist has been altered by anon IPs without reaching consensus on the talk page. Karst (talk) 12:40, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 19:14, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Already protected by administrator The Night Watch. Favonian (talk) 18:44, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Different IPs restoring content from recently blocked user Terminater66890. Belbury (talk) 14:18, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 19:19, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. Bbb23 (talk) 14:55, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent POV-pushing in the conflict who is the real Steaua. The Banner talk 16:06, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Today's burst and then the last one was almost a month ago. Daniel Case (talk) 19:21, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. ImTheAvidPheasant (talk) 17:24, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected indefinitely. Daniel Case (talk) 19:45, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: IPs have returned to editing the page to insert unsourced "titles" and other information to the article. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 17:32, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 18:31, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 19:40, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Continued vandalism in the same form as led to the page being protected recently: adding family members that are not family members as a reference to an ongoing meme. Cerebral726 (talk) 18:37, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite full protection: Potentially unorthodox request here: I am requesting that this page be fully-protected. Here's the explanation: This page was originally moved to be a subpage of its proper page back in 2019-ish; however, the bot that maintains this page, Community Tech bot, rather than following the redirect to update the live page, overwrite the redirect (the page I'm asking to be fully protected) with the most recent results ... so I recently had to move the pages again (see the edit histories for this page and its target for further information.) For this reason, and in the event the bot operator may not be able to fix this error with its bot in a timely manner, I'm requesting this page be fully protected so the problem ... which occurred 5 years ago and apparently had continued to occur after that until now ... does not occur again. (For the record, I did confirm that Community Tech bot is not flagged as an administrator.) Steel1943 (talk) 19:37, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Recent surge of IP editing related to social media posts by Smosh staff asking for edits to be made to page, seems to have devolved into minor vandalism. Request temp. protection until it blows over (2 weeks or so). Rambling Rambler (talk) 19:47, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
