Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Severe accusations not covered by RS. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 00:15, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Marty Munsch

• Marty Munsch (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: As soon as protection expires, anonymous IP edits adding un- or poorly-sourced material is added (probably by the subject) so the page goes back to looking like a resume. This has been going on for many years; please consider permanently protecting it or nominating for deletion (subject is not notable) Xblkx (talk) 00:41, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Surongo

• Surongo (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. They are changing box office backed by reliable sources several times in month. As I can't be available everytime I can't revert them right on time. Needs longer time protection. Mehedi Abedin 02:43, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

• Valentine's Day (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: 2 46.152.35.160 (talk) 04:18, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

It has already been protected, indefinately since 2020. What do you mean by 2? A number is not a reason for protection. 74.14.6.233 (talk) 05:00, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism i.e. removal of data TheProEditor11 (talk) 04:36, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Note to admin: This is a bad request to restore unconstructive content and enforce their version. The user is treating Wikipedia as a directory of listings, and adding largely unsourced content with WP:FAKE references, not to mention unreliable blog-like sources like legodesk.com.--2409:4073:4E39:D390:41DE:C49B:4BBB:61A0 (talk) 07:33, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Al-Lat

• Al-Lat (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Persistent vandalism over several years; repeated temporary protection only stops it temporarily. Some of the edits may be well-intentioned, but they almost all come from new or inexperienced editors seeking to "cleanse" the article of blasphemy against Islam for asserting that a pre-Islamic goddess was worshipped as a wife or daughter of Allah. Similar edits are also regularly made at the companion articles Manat and Al-Uzza. Would suggest indefinite extended confirmed protection of all three, since it is apparent that the same kind of edits will be repeated as long as it is possible to do so. P Aculeius (talk) 04:59, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

If there are multiple editors who are editing in the same exact thing, then it is probably sockpuppetry. 74.14.6.233 (talk) 05:01, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

I don't think it's one person using sockpuppets. It's likely that some of the edits involve sockpuppetry, but while the edits are all aimed at denying that such a goddess existed or was worshipped or was regarded as the wife or daughter of Allah, or asserting that she was "fake" or a "demon", etc. they are carried out in a variety of ways, sometimes adding words, sometimes deleting them, frequently arguing through their edit summaries that what the article said prior to their edits was wrong, sometimes citing the Qur'an, sometimes not using the summary, sometimes pretending to be fixing a typo, etc. The last person was an IP editor who edited all three articles similarly; the one before that was a registered user with no other edits; the three before that were all IP's; while the page was partly protected in December it was the site of edit warring initiated by a registered user with no previous edits to other articles, who was eventually blocked with a total of 12 edits over three weeks' time. The one thing they all have in common is that they all seem to be offended by any version that neutrally describes pre-Islamic beliefs that are inconsistent with Islam, or fails to describe those beliefs as false or heretical or blasphemous.

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – merely a suggestion: this page has been edit-warred for quite some time, even after repeated goldlocks. proposing indefinite (or lengthy) either bluelock or silverlock. Josethewikier (talk) 06:04, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

List of megaprojects in India

• List of megaprojects in India (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Persistent addition of copyrighted material by IPs going back to 2022. Some of these are obviously good faith additions, and some of them included material cited to a news article while really being copied from press releases, so I think there's multiple editors involved. History has been mostly revdelled, so I'm sorry I can't be more specific or warn the IPs better.

NB, one or two sentence copyvios rarely set off copypatrol or the copyright bot. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 06:08, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Empire: Total War

• Empire: Total War (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Seems to be based on unsupported speculation about a new release. No actual evidence or announcement online. Suspect same editor on multiple IPs adding unsourced info. Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 07:01, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Sikhism

• Sikhism (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Requesting preferably semi-protected status for this page. Persistent (years long) low-quality (even if GF) IP edits which significantly undermined the quality of the article. The grammar in particular was unacceptably awful prior to me embarking on an informal project to fix it last week, far beneath the quality we should expect for a major religion. Finally, it appears to be the norm for articles on major religions to be semi-protected. JDiala (talk) 08:05, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Continuous editing war between non-logged-in users over the result even though it is a Polish victory, and I ask for a low level of security so that only those logged in can edit Birczenin (talk) 08:22, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
