    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    Before requesting, read the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see the rough guide to extended confirmed protection)

    After a page has been protected, it is listed in the page history and logs with a short rationale, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins should not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

    Süleyman Pasha (son of Orhan)

    Reason: Sudden and stubborn influx of IPs and new accounts created with the sole purpose of vandalizing the page, removing information cited en masse, as visible from the chrono of the last two weeks circa. Subjected to repeated vandalism in these same minutes. Sira Aspera (talk) 09:06, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Maratha Confederacy

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeatedly the User:Mohammad Umar Ali edit this page. Rahio1234 11:38, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I would request anyone who is seeing the msg that this user Rahio is harassing me and not letting me add my WP:RS sourced information in the article just because it doesn't suit his POV. I already had a long discussion on the disputed topic in Maratha Confederacy talk page and quoted the information from WP:RS sources still he is vandalizing the info and reverting my edits. Also this user has been previously blocked for adding unsourced information (WP:OR) and edit disputes. Plz help me and see to it. Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 11:47, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Please see WP:RS if necessary Rahio1234 11:58, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    What do you think is a reliable source? You seem to cite WP:RS every time you disagree with someone's edits, despite most of the time the edits being fine. I recently reverted your reverts on Ministry of Interior (Iraq) because an IP added good and cited content which you reverted by just saying, "see WP:RS". I don't think Mohammad Umar Ali is in the right either here, as he even has an ongoing and seemingly truthful sockpuppet investigation against him, but you can't always cite WP:RS anytime an IP edits a page or someone adds content you don't like.

    1st source The Marathas New Cambridge history of India Vol2 Part 4 pg 138 mentions Maratha brief occupation of Punjab see the quote: After yet another Abdali invasion, the Marathas, under Nana Saheb’s brother, Ragunath Rao, and Malhar Rao Holkar, returned from Malwa and the Deccan in the campaigning season of 1757-58. A Maratha invasion of the Punjab followed, which coincided with the much more significant Sikh rebellion. The Maratha Punjab adventure was brief; the Ragunath Rao expedition left little administration behind, and the Sikhs successfully resisted any attempt to set up long-term Maratha authority. This clearly says Marathas briefly occupied Punjab and the exact limits can be inferred from my second source JL Mehta Advance study in History of India pg 234-237
    My 2nd WP:RS source JL Mehta's Advance Study in Indian History pg 237 clearly says quoting; Thus nature did provide a golden opportunity to the Marathas to establish their sway over whole of Punjab and northwest India, upto Attock and Khyber pass, although the spell of their rule proved very shortlived. This clearly indicates Maratha Empire/Confederacy ruled till Khyber Pass.
    <meta />
    3rd WP:RS source Pletcher, Kenneth (2010). The History of India pg 198 quoting; Thus in 1757 Ahmad Shah's son Timur, appointed governor of Punjab, was forced to retreat from Lahore to Peshawar under the force of attacks from Sikhs and Marathas.
    4th WP:RS Source;The state at war in South Asia page 55; quoting: The Marathas attacked soon after and, with some help from the Sikhs, managed to capture Attock, Peshawar, and Multan between April and May 1758. SEE the word "CAPTURED"
    Additional: The Marathas New Cambridge History of India Vol2 Part 4 states This is for Areal limit of the Empire/Confederacy (same source); Quoting: First, we shall look at the expanding areas controlled by the Marathas, and there were many. Maratha leaders pushed into Rajasthan, the area around Delhi, and on into the Punjab. They attacked Bundelkund and the borders of Uttar Pradesh. Further east, the Marathas attacked Orissa and the borders of Bengal and Bihar.
    And Same book pg 138 states; quoting; This is the source for protectors of Delhi throne pg 138 here is the quotation: For the Marathas, probably the two most significant events of the whole chaotic period in Delhi were a treaty in 1752, which made them protector of the Mughal throne (and gave them the right to collect chauth in the Punjab), and the civil war of 1753, by which the Maratha nominee ended up on the Mughal throne. Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 12:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed. Multiple users are persistently disruptive the article, likely due to the new move talk consensus. PadFoot2008 12:19, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    FC Barcelona

    Reason: This page keeps being vandalised by sockpuppets (even though the page is already semi-protected..). Several socks of the sockmaster (The Penfield Homunculus) have been banned during the last couple of months but the vandalism continues due to new socks emerging. Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 12:08, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The vandalic edits are your's. Stop accusing others to sockpuppetry. First, demonstrate. Second, accuse. Mucchia (talk) 13:27, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    (Ironically) this message above was posted by one of their socks... Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 13:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Confirmed that Mucchia is one of the aforementioned socks. If it was feasible, I'd protect all the articles targeted by this prolific sockpuppeteer, but there's just too many. I'm leaving for a couple of days, otherwise I'd tackle this myself. I second Eem dik doun in toene's request for a more narrow protection. --Yamla (talk) 13:46, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Francesca Amewudah-Rivers

    Reason: Someone has obviously changed the first section either as a joke or maliciously. It is claiming that a British actress is descended from "predator" aliens. The rest of the article appears to be the original text. 81.78.117.74 (talk) 12:31, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    +1 Reason: Multiple instances of obvious vandalism by bigots. UnkreativeFrog (talk) 12:38, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 Dominican Republic general election

    Reason: Persistent addition of hoax content by IPs. Borgenland (talk) 14:16, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Abu Bakr Salem

    Reason: Over the past year since the last request, there have been several specific vandalism incidents that have had to be reverted over the nationality of the subject. Mehrashehra (talk) 15:20, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Pero Antić

    Reason: High level of IP-vandalism. Jingiby (talk) 15:35, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Pink Friday 2 World Tour

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing. Binksternet (talk) 15:45, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    National Hockey League

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – None of the IP edits in the past week have been constructive. Jalen Folf (Bark[s]) 16:34, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    SAM Records

    Reason: Indefinite Semi-protection: Repeated attempts by COI editor indef-blocked twice already (1st, 2nd) to hijack the article to be about their own record company. Current attempt is by "Samrecods2021" (sic). Egsan Bacon (talk) 17:03, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Ralston College

    Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Doug Weller talk 17:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Morgan Spurlock

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Mr. Spurlock had just passed away and as a result there will be an increase in activity to this page. There has already been vandalistic edits made regarding the cause of his death, related to what he is known for (i.e. his movie Super Size Me and edits saying he died from obesity). --ZLMedia 17:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Chittagong

    Reason: User:Therealbey is edit-warring to move Chittagong to Chattogram while the matter is under discussion at Talk:Chittagong#Article Title, against prior consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Bangladesh/Archive 7#Placename changes and Wikipedia policy, and against Wikipedia's policy and guidelines. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:51, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I was changing the name to its official name is it my wrong?? The official name according to the People's Republic of Bangladesh is Chattogram not Chittagong. The word Chittagong was used at the time of British East India Company but after Bangladesh established it has restored it again to Chattogram Therealbey (talk) 17:58, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Edit warring--Trade (talk) 17:59, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Morgan Spurlock

    Reason: Recently died, going to be put on the front page for recent deaths, and receiving IP vandalism. Requesting 1 week protection against IP editors. Harizotoh9 (talk) 18:02, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Morris Chang

    Reason: Persistent vandalism – Repetitive vandalism conducted by several anonymous IPs whom assumed to be probably controlled by the same person (User:Eva2024), who has been making virturally identical edits since 14 May. He claimed the certain contents of personal autobiography to be untrue without providing reliable sources to prove the rewrite, by persisting removal of referenced contents and refused to bring the dispute to the talk page before making change, only leaving repeated summary statement. Request for extending page protection or increasing the level of protection. Pataya2527 (talk) 18:43, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Pine Tree Flag

    Reason: Requesting semi-protection. Massive page view increase on Wikipedia with over 100,000 page views on May 23 alone. Page topic has appeared in major news outlets as part of highly charged political debate surrounding the US Supreme Court and Donald Trump. Example 1, Example 2, Example 3.

    Persistent POV pushing and vandalism from IP addresses and newly created accounts. Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, Example 5, Example 6, Example 7, Example 8. BootsED (talk) 18:46, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    King and Queen of the Ring (2024)

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Donnowin1 (talk) 19:04, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Protection table

    Reason: Lost its previous indefinite semi protection after a temporary sysop protection. Aidan9382 (talk) 19:16, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Combat Vehicle 90

    Indefinite extended protection: WP:RUSUKR, non-EC editors are adding low quality sources such as Telegram to claim losses TylerBurden (talk) 19:32, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Shortcuts

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

    • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page" which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
    • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
    • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
    • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected please use the section below.

    Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Johnny Somali

    Reason: I do not believe the protection of this page is needed because there isn't anyone hawk eyeing the article like before and there hasn't been any attempts to make changes on the talk page RowanJ LP (talk) 12:38, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The user who protected the page is busterD. They should be responsible to handle this request.197.3.119.95 (talk) 16:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:03, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Why does it say that you extended confirmed the page? I thought you kept it at the semi-protected level? RowanJ LP (talk) 17:01, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I used the wrong template earlier. Also, petitioner has been blocked; very likely an LTA. OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:04, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
    Shortcut

    Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

    • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
    • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
    • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
    • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

    2014 Isla Vista killings

    I would like to request that someone give this article a serious look through. There are numerous grammatical errors, as if someone who is not a native English speaker wrote it. Errors are primarily subject/verb agreement. 133.130.185.232 (talk) 01:29, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
