Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – For months, incorrect edits have been made on page, to which I have reverted and updated properly. I have warned user each time, however the IP address changes slightly each time. This is highly disruptive as it means currently reverting approximately edits each week and then having to re-edit. These details can be found on history page. I am also requesting this protection for each Coventry City player for the near future. Telfordbuck (talk) 18:23, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

for a week. Daniel Case (talk) 20:48, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: In the wake of his controversial January 2025 arrest, requesting temporary semi-protection to prevent unregistered accounts and IPs from vandalising or inserting false/misleading information on a high-profile BLP article, until more information is released. Per WP:BLPCRIME. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 18:58, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It looks like you've got things under control for now. Daniel Case (talk) 21:20, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Just updated this article to add criminal convictions. Based on edit history by multiple IPs and new accounts, I suspect the subject monitors this article and has edited it in the past. ECP for a month or so seems appropriate to prevent edit warring, whitewashing and vandalism. Montanabw(talk) 21:29, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It also sounds like you're asking for pre-emptive protection, which outside of new ARBPIA articles we don't grant. Daniel Case (talk) 21:42, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Long term vandalism, for months now. Every time protection expires it gets vandalized again. Need longer protection; last time it was like a week. seefooddiet (talk) 23:33, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: This page details an important ongoing armed engagement, and may be at risk of being tampered with by various elements pushing competing narratives. 108.46.168.9 (talk) 00:40, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
