Reason: To insert Semi-Protection as the page is about the Prime Minister of Mauritius and repeated edits by users some with unreliable sources and stated in a negative style than the original sources. SwiftReader1994 (talk) 07:34, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 07:44, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- As the editors who seem to be going back and forth on this are mostly extended-confirmed, only full protection would have a chance to work and we rarely impose that for very long. I also note that no one's using the talk page ... we do like to see that you've taken that route.
If you want full protection to force discussion on talk, let us know. Daniel Case (talk) 21:01, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Reason: The vast majority of recent edits have been IP-based changes that require reversion. This could be considered as the current protection level working as intended. But would it be sensible to increase further?Chumpih t 10:07, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: High level of vandalism and edit warring from WP:SPAs. Mb2437 (talk) 10:14, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Declined Mb2437 and Yugann have violated WP:3RR. I've warned both users. Bbb23 (talk) 14:55, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Reverting vandalism is not edit warring. Mb2437 (talk) 15:00, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Per WP:GSCASTE. — Block evading proxies are now using expletives [1][2]. - Ratnahastin (talk) 11:04, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Ongoing block evasion by User:Bigboss19923 on a backwater article. Belbury (talk) 11:47, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Frequent vandalism by users with few contributions and unregistered users, potentially due to the page being popular to immature Internet users or similar. TipzTeam (talk) 12:15, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: I request extended confirmed protection. This is a high-profile article, and comparable articles (e.g., on American politicians) tend to have extended confirmed protection. We are experiencing issues with new editors, with telling usernames like "MaralagoPawn," who have a limited understanding of Wikipedia's processes and are making unilateral changes to a decade-old stable version of the lead without consensus.

Reason: High level of Vandalism AstronomyMaster1 (talk) 12:27, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. GoodnightmushTalk 13:50, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Requesting semi-confirmed protection IP keeps adding "Possible matches" which goes against MOS:FORMAT and Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide even when it's removed the IP keeps adding it. [3] [4] If you have any questions for me, please let me know. Lemonademan22 (talk) 13:12, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Ongoing spam of https://s.mcd-menu.org from an apparently Philippines-based sock farm, per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Royox32/Archive#20_November_2024. Belbury (talk) 14:51, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: High level of non-stop IP vandalism since November 18. Requesting semi-confirmed protection for this page. Oluwasegu (talk) 15:55, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent vandalism by IPs and 1-day old accounts. Borgenland (talk) 16:06, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – IPs (possibly the same person) keeps on adding caste without sources, let alone a proper one per WP:CASTEID [5] [6] [7]. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:18, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. C F A 16:32, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – A lot of disruption / vandalism going on in the article. From possible sock edits [8] (Indonesian IP sock of User:YilevBot who is know for similar religion related edits), to duplication of the whole article by the same IP-range [9], to removal of sources and addition of numbers in square-brackets as sources [x]? Apparently they have copied an old version in read mode [10] [11]. -. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:45, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Frequent vandalism due to official name change. Jor langneh (Talk) 16:46, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Frequent vandalism due to name change. Jor langneh (Talk) 16:48, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Persistent, on-going history of unsourced content being added to article by anonymous editors. livelikemusic (TALK!) 17:04, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: This new article is getting a very high number of views and edits, many of the edits have been made by IP editors and there has been a lot of vandalism. Everyday I have seen a dozen edits to the page, half of which are reverted by someone. It warrants auto-confirmed protection. 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 17:09, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Edit warring by IP editor from multiple IP addresses. Refuses to comply with WP:BRD. Try seven days 'auto-confirmed only' please? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 17:38, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content. Waxworker (talk) 17:43, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
