Reason: High level of IP vandalism by removing knockout stage excerpts of a football tournament as evident here [1][2][3] —⚰️NΛSΛ B1058 (TALK) 02:30, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. seems to have stopped the day before yesterday. Daniel Case (talk) 21:10, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Edit wars over For Georgia seats with disruptive editing from a recently made account Dorvake (talk) 10:43, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. No reverted edits for a couple of days. Daniel Case (talk) 21:16, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Renewed vandalism to |death_cause= by US IPv6, changing from "Suicide by hanging" supported by inline sourcing (also sourced with additional sourcing in Death and impact section) to "Suicide" without any inline sourcing. Previous similar attempts following unprotection includes January 2025 by Iran IPv4, December 2023 by Spain IPv4, June 2023 by US IPv4, etc. Looking through the revision history after unprotection in 15 October 2021 in which out of 321 edits, 38% were reverts mostly due to unsourced and/or unexplained content removal changes to information like birth date, death date, death cause, etc, this is simply too high for a CTOPS. Would also like to note that content related to the subject's death, including death cause, was previously discussed on the talk page's archive. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 14:35, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: 2601:441:8400:9760:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs) blocked by ScottishFinnishRadish. for 3 months. Daniel Case (talk) 21:25, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason: IPs continuing to edit war with unsourced/currently unknown information. Protection until around September 28 might be- as that will be over a year since the last new episode of Blue's Clues & You! has aired, and hopefully all these unsourced edits will conclude.
(as per Template:Infobox television states: 'last_aired' parameter can be changed to end date if, "a program has not aired a new episode in 12 months" ... "This does not imply the series has been cancelled, rather that the program "last aired" on that date. This is to prevent programs from being listed as "present" in perpetuity.")

- User(s) blocked. Both IPs for six months Daniel Case (talk) 21:37, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Continued block evasion and global lock evasion from IPs. Tenshi! (Talk page) 18:10, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Declined Last edit says (quite gracefully, I should add) that they’re done. Daniel Case (talk) 20:02, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason: I am requesting semi-protection for the Lightspeed Venture Partners article due to persistent disruptive editing that is consistent with conflict-of-interest (COI) activity.
In March 2024, User:SandHillStories made a series of edits that significantly altered the article’s tone and content, adding promotional language, inserting résumé-style material (often sourced from the firm’s own press releases), and removing reliably sourced, potentially unfavorable information.
In July 2025, I attempted to restore one such reliably sourced, factual statement regarding the firm’s historical operations in China (“Lightspeed began investing in China in 2006 through its China-based affiliate, Lightspeed China Partners”), which is well-documented in independent coverage (e.g., TechCrunch). An anonymous IP editor (User:69.74.230.3) has repeatedly reverted this addition, labeling it “inaccurate” without providing any explanation or sources, and has ignored a discussion attempt on their IP Talk page.
The repeated reverts have disrupted the stability of the article and discouraged collaborative improvement. This, combined with the earlier promotional editing history, suggests a need for protection to prevent further COI-driven or agenda-based edits. Zxm92 (talk) 19:12, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Consistent disruption over the past month, some of which has been revdel'd. S0091 (talk) 20:19, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Almost since the previous protection expired. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 20:24, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:38, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Target of spam for companies offering billing services are being added by newly registered editors every 6 weeks or so. Can the page be silver locked, please? (Has been locked previously for the same.) Little pob (talk) 20:33, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Appears to be an inordinate amount of self-reverts over the past two days. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 20:42, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs keep removing the word 'Ram' from the subject's sourced pseudo-name, possibly due to some sort of POV, apart from random cases of vandalism and disruptive editing [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]. -. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 20:44, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Talk page is a magnet for comments unrelated to the article, ie. people seeking sugar mamas. 162 etc. (talk) 20:45, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism especially around the use of the word "semi-metro" a word that has no real world use and seems to be forced neologism via a small handful of users. Many of who only edit via IP addresses. Lightmetro (talk) 20:47, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Vandalism (due to the matter being recently announced). CatchMe (talk · contribs) 20:51, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Temporary pending changes: Persistently, for years, an IP user has been adding an external link ("timesofdubai.ae") as an entry to this list page. Since April they've been using a single /16 to do it (but it's probably not possible to pblock the /16 since a) a /16 is massive and this disruption is not, and b) at least part of its geolocation is likely to contain a lot of potential editors of this list.) This may be a good candidate for long-duration pending changes protection. tony 21:33, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism Theonewithreason (talk) 22:02, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Repeated unsourced claims that the film was remade in 2026, clearly WP:Crystal - Arjayay (talk) 22:02, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content, continued after protection expired. Waxworker (talk) 22:25, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
