Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Reason: Hello, I would like to request Extended confirmed protection for the The Bloodline article. There are too many accounts making too many changes against Wikipedia's policy and guidelines such as No original research, Fancruft as well as straight up vandalism by editors with no regard or little knowledge of how Wikipedia works and due to the popularity of the article there is simply no way to control it and it is slowly descending into chaos. This is why I request this and I hope this issue can be fixed. Lemonademan22 (talk) 14:07, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Maybe you can show us some diffs where autoconfirmed editors have been doing these things? Because from the last month's history it looks like the current protection is working. Daniel Case (talk) 00:10, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the reply. At the start of the month and towards the end autoconfirmed editors (usually with no user page) have been adding unsourced material, changing paragraph subheadings, adding bare references and messing the article up. Today I had to change about a dozen things back to normal. The current protection, in my opinion, doesn't work and isn't sufficient if I have to go ahead and revert everything they do constantly.

Daniel Case is asking for links to specific edit diffs. If the issue for a particular diff may not be not obvious to someone unfamiliar with the topic, please note the issue. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:49, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Contentious topic that is victim of unsourced additions by sock accounts (three accounts, maybe four). Semsûrî (talk) 10:23, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – they're back after non-protection. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 10:28, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism and addition of unsourced content by unconfirmed users. M48SKY (talk) 11:05, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: There is a consistent pattern of POV pushing and a biased agenda from this IP. IP user claims that Crimean Tatars are descended from Anglo-Saxon settlers during the Byzantine era. He is using a non-reliable news source about Anglo-Saxon settlers, but the source does not mention any connection between Crimean Tatars and Anglo-Saxons. In fact, last citation does not even contain word "Crimean Tatar" It'd be great if an advanced editor or administrator can shorten the Tatarization section of the article.

He also doing a similar thing to Crimean Goths. I attempted to discuss this issue with the editor on the talk page of Crimean Tatars 9 months ago, but they have continued to engage in edit warring in time periods. Some of their IP addresses were blocked earlier this year. This is straight vandalism at this point. I request a page protection for few months. Auzandil (talk) 11:06, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent levels of vandalism, poor adherence to WP policy throughout the page from unconfirmed users. M48SKY (talk) 11:13, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Full protection: There seems to be a persistent battle between different parties that want to remove content because they do not like it One party seems to be Muslim and the other Hindu and there appears to be a lot sock pupery involved. Hardyplants (talk) 11:14, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – They're back after protection ended. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 11:31, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
