    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]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    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]
    Extended confirmed protected Given the history of disruption at the page, the current protection level is appropriate. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:42, 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]

    Repeated additions without valid sources; in any case there's a discussion on the discussion page, but Eduadoros seems not to have understood this. JacktheBrown (talk) 06:47, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – This page isn't currently protected. You might be looking for the dispute resolution process, though. Lectonar (talk) 08:49, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
