Gadaria people

Reason: Persistent, low-level disruption over almost the entire history of the page by non-ECV and IP users. While it's relatively low level and sufficiently rare that it can be managed by playing

whack-a-vandal, it's a nuisance to do so. I would appreciate if an admin could raise the protection level to extended confirmed. Brusquedandelion (talk) 00:23, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

Canadian National 7312

Indefinite protection:

Reason: Long history of vandalism with constant false info edits, this IP user:2601:84:8481:B5A0:E995:EC6D:1233:4312, has been warned multiple times over their edits on the article but yet the user has refused to cooperate. This article needs to protect for a little more longer, or indefinitely. Because the user has yet to stop, even after multiple warnings. 2607:FB91:21E0:84CA:89F:1182:129F:DC1C (talk) 05:13, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylindfotberserk: I would like to range block this IP range next time he or she pops up to do this again rather than protect the page.

North India

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: A user whose account seems to be used solely for the below mentioned purpose has been trying revert back to a self created version of the article with dramatic changes again and again. The version that was established six months ago by a talk discussion Talk:North India#Region is being removed by this user and replaced by his own version without any talk page discussion. The user Katkar123596 is refusing to accept the talk consensus version or discuss in the talk page and reverting again and again. I am requesting that the protection of the page be please raised to extended confirmed. PadFoot2008 (talk) 14:31, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Indian general election articles

Extended confirmed protection: I had requested extended protection on a list of articles before due to very extensive sockpuppetry going on for months, each time accounts are created days before they become active to bypass semi-protection easily. My request was rejected because the person looking at it thought it was "pre-emptive" but it wasn't. It is ongoing.

Now the latest batch of socks has been blocked so I am requesting it again with a more conservative list. I would prefer it on all state-wise 2024 election articles as he has been editing in all of them through his various socks, throughout his time here but these are the ones where there is very high activity from him in the recent times. Sockpuppet investigations is jammed with cases, sometimes it takes far too long for it to get seen to, which makes the situation go out of control. I can see another account which has popped up that is possibly a new sock.

If you want to check just see the contributions of XYZ 91973 (Not to be confused with XYZ 250706 who he was trying to impersonate) and before that Horace Dendy and so on and so on. Thank you. MrMkG (talk) 17:44, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fanta cake

Temporary semi-protection: Although this is a fairly late request, I am requesting protection on this page as numerous disruptive edits have recently been made to it. This page has been recently gaining popularity due to a YouTube video being made on it, and there are increased disruptive edits/vandalism on the page.
