Reason: Persistent IP vandalism – Requesting temporary semi-protection for the Abhira dynasty article. Multiple IPs are repeatedly removing well-sourced historical content and inserting unsourced claims (e.g., falsely linking Abhiras to Marathas), often without edit summaries or justification. This is disrupting the article's integrity. Restorations have already been made, but vandalism persists. Please consider semi-protection to prevent further disruption.
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Sushidude21! (talk) 03:39, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
Declined, the talk page discussion started Ymblanter (talk) 20:34, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated incorrect changes of the infobox image by different Indian dynamic IPs in recent months, claiming to be typo fixes, which started last July. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 05:15, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
- Declined, seems to have stopped. Apologies for not reacting on time. Ymblanter (talk) 20:35, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Most of the recent edits are vandalism from ip accounts. —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 05:49, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content Dispute/Edit Warring. 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 11:20, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Just two back-and-forths so far. Daniel Case (talk) 20:44, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
Temporary full protection: Persistent vandalism – Per WP:PINKLOCK, template protection is not correct here, since the page is not protected due to its transclusion count (the 1 transclusion is the talk page). Requesting upgrade to full protection which does not go against WP:PP. Warudo (talk) 13:49, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
- Since Poolvobx has been indeffed and globally locked, I am unsure why we need even full protection at the moment. Daniel Case (talk) 20:49, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Surprising amount of vandalism by unregistered and new users over the past 6 months, for what should be a low-maintenance page. (Not the edit today; that was just a misunderstanding, but it made me reflect on previous edits.) I'd like to request pending changes protection for a year. — W.andrea (talk) 15:19, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
- Declined for technical reasons: PC seems not to be available for this page (help namespace?) Daniel Case (talk) 20:52, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: WP:RUSUKR. Srich0731 (talk) 00:40, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
Reason: User Brody Wesner/JRezOhio (I suspect from their edits that they are the same user with multiple accounts) has been constantly replacing the original, high quality, unprocessed page image with an inferior, highly processed image, with half the resolution of the original image, in possible violation of the 3RR. I flagged it in talk and they just keep reverting. Twunchy (talk) 05:00, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- Declined There's only been two edits today, both by you. Then an edit adding {{Bare URL image}} a week ago, and then the edits before that was a few more days before that. KTC (talk) 23:02, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Self-explanatory. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 05:21, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
Reason: as in past months (see this request in December 2024), persistent vandalism about handball club transfers: someone with multiple IP constantly adds hypothetical (or not confirmed yet) transfers (see ? on each item here for instance). Maybe those transfers will be confirmed in future, but Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and not a Crystal ball. By the way he never give any source, even for official transfers.
And sometimes the reverts go along with insults, as in this previous request or his 3 last reverts on Veszprém KC: "i see your back old friend, the scorpion to my spider man, the joker to my batman", "yo jack a** 99% of your crystal ball bull s*** came true, go back to your rat hole", "F YOU". Of course, as in the past, this club is not the only one targeted (see here for instance in May or most of my contribs. PS : I'm French so my contribs are mainly in wiki.fr and I'm a small contributor here), but Veszprém KC is actually the worst and the only with insults. Thanks LeFnake (talk) 09:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Skitash (talk) 12:34, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Request incresase to extended confirmed for at least 90 days, following repeated vandalism and onging discussion on tp by surprising number of confirmed accounts pushing to have ICE labbelled as "gestapo". Thanks - \\'cԼF 13:04, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
