Request for stopping rapid changes and vandalism (unsourced) by anonymous users

After brief discussions in 2021 (Wikipedia talk:Requested moves), full stops have been removed from each and every Indian sports clubs' "club name" (irrespective of the club logo having/showing the format or not)! I'm requesting administrators, if possible, please take action against the haphazard/quick changes/removals in the particular article named Minerva Academy (by ip/anonymous users), this will be highly accepted and helpful!

Ragging of Senior Wikipedia Users specially @capitals00

hello sir,I am going through very bad situation where some senior users repeatedly blanking content without providing sources or giving reasons! As Wikipedia User @Capitals00 is doing.he is continuously blanking pages without providing sources or evidences as he done on the page of "Mughal-Maratha wars".he is blanking the pages & if we are asking why & you should provide sources or talk on talk page or you should overtake us in that discussion,even after saying this he continuously blanking content and saying I don't need to overtake you! Other user also warned him on his talk page but in response he blanked it by saying 'useless reminder'. after very clear resourch I found that he is blanking the content which is releted to people's who's religion is "Hindu".he is starting religion war here you can check it. Please take the action immediately and try to block him.

Sudan and percentages

Hello admin I added the sources to back up my claims and percentages for religion in Sudan but some user keeps changing it and lying by saying that none of the sources I added mention the stuff i wrote when they do. He/she continues to also remove these informations and sources and revert it back to their edits. You should see the history of my edits on the Sudan page to see my point.

Dancing with the Stars

hello admin, I have Bgsu98 violating the site by changing the dance charts, I keep trying to fixed them but keeps reverting my edits, claims I'm violating the policy but I'm not, Bgsu98 been doing to other site, please stop Bgsu98 from ruining this site Vegawolfdog (talk) 21:42, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Already being discussed on Bgsu98's talk page and their reverts are proper; as the tables are sortable in each season article, finding the high-low dances is easily done by any reader without a chart also pointing that out. Nate • (chatter) 23:58, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i respect that, I just wanted to make sure the page isn't ruined, and I'll play it safe for the upcoming season of dancing with the stars Vegawolfdog (talk) 00:27, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lee Van Cleef

I'm not sure how to report this, because the other editor changes IP addresses with every editing session, so leaving warnings has turned out to be a waste of time, but there is an ongoing (usually subtle) vandalism situation with the article Lee Van Cleef and related articles.

Most recently, the editor added an inaccurate award nomination to Lee Van Cleef with this edit, and then altered Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture, to support the lie, with this edit. Then, under a different IP address, altered 29th Golden Globe Awards in the same way, with this edit. And this editor has, under different IPs, done the same thing in the past (diff, diff, diff, diff). There are issues with this editor's other changes to Lee Van Cleef, as well.

I've been chasing this editor around futilely from IP to IP for several days, so I thought it was time to bring it here to find out how to proceed. Thanks! —ShelfSkewed Talk 13:58, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ShelfSkewed: Judging by Whois data, this is likely a customer of Irancell. If things got sufficiently bad, an admin could block the whole IP range, but obviously that's going to cause a huge number of collateral blocks; page protection is the other obvious possibility, but there are enough golden-globe-adjacent pages that it'd be a pain to get all of them. Probably the best move is to bring it up on ANI and let an admin make the call. Gaelan 💬✏️ 17:17, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
