Walt Disney World[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Please see Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Quebec Disney Hoaxer. IanDBeacon (talk) 03:25, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Indian general election[edit]

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Disruptive editing by new accounts largely due to ongoing vote count. Ratnahastin (talk) 05:39, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding POV pushing of nomenclatures by new accounts such as this [1]. Borgenland (talk) 06:08, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And an increase in edit warring. Borgenland (talk) 06:19, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 South African general election[edit]

Reason: Edit warring in results. Borgenland (talk) 06:20, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nikita Mazepin[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 07:17, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Abdul Basit 'Abd us-Samad[edit]

Reason: Extended-Confirmed Protection:

The page keeps being targeted by Kurdish Nationalists imposing and enforcing a false identity on a famous Upper Egyptian figure, even though his own son denied that foreign rumor repeatedly in TV interviews, yet new accounts keep ruining his biography and enforcing something the family has never stated. Fragrant Peony (talk) 07:18, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

President of the Philippines[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There's a slow-motion vandalism in this article. It gets reverted, then someone days later brings back the vandalized version (probably the same person under variable IP). As this is is slow-motion vandalism, slapping templated notices to talk pages are of no use. Howard the Duck (talk) 07:36, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Canaan Dog[edit]

Reason: Consistent vandalism due to dog breed being from Israel as well as being mentioned as being found in Palestine. Not sure if the whole Israel/Palestine restrictions extend to stuff like this but there should at least be autoconfirmed protection. [2] [3] [4] [5] Since February there has been one edit that hasn't been vandalism/reverting vandalism. Traumnovelle (talk) 08:11, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lamine Yamal[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Same issue as before, different IPs adding some variant of the peacock phrase "widely regarded as one of the most promising talents in world football" to the lead. I guess this is some offsite fan thing. Belbury (talk) 08:39, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

East Pakistan[edit]

Reason: A IP is doing vandalism and unhelpful edits in these three articles, we are reverting them for three long days but they are continuously doing it. I reported them see here but looks like they are using more than one ips to vandalize these articles. In this situation it is important to protect these three articles for longer period because the person is persistent enough. No other action will not work as they are using many ips. Mehedi Abedin (talk) 08:59, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Macaron[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Two IPs edit warring, one a dynamic IP. Belbury (talk) 09:08, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tirant lo Blanch[edit]

Reason: High level of politically biased IP disruptive edits, by the same socks with dynamic IPs starting by "79." and "84." IP ranges, the first one being always from the same ISP named Digi Communications (Spanish branch of the company) one does pro-Catalanism edits and the other one makes pro-Valencianism edits, albeit the latter has been silent for about 2 weeks ago, the one IP range with tons of sockpuppets starting with "79." is even active up to today.

Here is the stable version of the page before the 2 disruptive IP ranges started with the constant edit wars 2 months ago in April: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tirant_lo_Blanch&oldid=1195815816

Just as a note: The user that made this edit back to January 2024 claims to be a Catalan Independence supporter (nothing against that) and this user himself made good WP:NEUTRAL edits and didn't delete nor change anything from the page, unlike these sockpuppets coming from these 2 IP ranges started disrupting the page over the past 2 months.

I would like to request a semi-protection so it can be edited only by registered users that have confirmed their email address. The page has been disrupted for 2 months and many users (including myself) have to watch it to revert the newer sock edits. LucenseLugo (talk) 09:54, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please help! Yet another sock from the same IP range and ISP (same user) disrupting the page once again. LucenseLugo (talk) 15:58, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Dominican Republic general election[edit]

Reason: Insertion of same hoax content by same IP address after protection was lifted. Also occurred in 2012 Dominican Republic presidential election, 2016 Dominican Republic general election and 2020 Dominican Republic general election. Borgenland (talk) 11:35, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Iwaqarhashmi[edit]

Indefinite template protection: Requesting indefinte template protection for my user page because it was vandalized before, so I copied all the contents of the user page onto a ".css" subpage, but an extended confirmed user added the wrong COI template recently.
