Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Reason: Too much disruptive editing by anonymous users. The Media Expert (talk) 00:36, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Amortias (T)(C) 15:32, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Group of sockpuppets keeps vandalizing the pages. Protection does not need to be long-term. Thebirdlover (talk) 02:55, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Already protected. Already indef semi-protected and indef protection at a higher level would be overkill (in my opinion). GoodnightmushTalk 17:55, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Persistent vandalism over the past few weeks – highly controversial comments due to an ongoing boycott against the convenience store for sensitive issues regarding a certain religion LegendaryLim (talk) 04:14, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Lots of persistent additions of factually incorrect information by mostly anonymous editors. Tvx1 11:44, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've been editing the page, but I may need to take emergency administrative action because of edits like this one by Tvx1, which added Moldova and United Kingdom to the participants list. —C.Fred (talk) 12:50, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don‘t know who added those countries in the first place. Me returning them accidentally was the result of having to undo a bunch of disruptive edits. It should be correctly fixed now. Tvx1 12:54, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here’s who actually add those countries. I merely accidentally reinstated them when reverting you.
