    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    Before requesting, read the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see the rough guide to extended confirmed protection)

    After a page has been protected, it is listed in the page history and logs with a short rationale, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins should not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

    Bade Baba Temple

    Reason: Dear Wikipedia Administrators, I am writing to request protection for the Wikipedia page [Kundalpur Jain Temple (Bade Baba)] due to persistent vandalism and misinformation being added by certain individuals. The temple is a highly significant religious site for followers of the Digambar sect of Jainism, yet the page has repeatedly been altered with incorrect information, likely motivated by sectarian bias.

    Nature of the Issue

    1.Misinformation on Managing Body: The temple is managed by Shri Digambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Kundalpur Public Trust, but vandals have changed this to Shri Shwetambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Kundalpur Public Trust, which is factually incorrect.

    2.Religious and Cultural Sensitivity: The temple holds immense importance for the Digambar Jain community. The repeated alterations appear to stem from hate or jealousy, which disrespects the faith and beliefs of millions.

    Evidence of Vandalism

    Request for Protection

    Given the sensitivity of the topic and the repeated vandalism, I kindly request:

    1. Semi-protection: Restrict edits to registered and confirmed users.

    2. Long-term protection: Given the likelihood of continued attempts at misinformation, I request protection for an extended period.

    This will help ensure that the article maintains its accuracy and neutrality, in line with Wikipedia’s guidelines. Protecting this page would not only prevent further disruption but also respect the sentiments of the Jain community, particularly the Digambar sect.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if further details or evidence are needed.

    Sincerely,

    Moros y Cristianos (dish)

    Reason: Highly disruptive vandal which uses these IP addresses 68.33.255.195 and 2601:147:4700:2000:b8d3:bbb5:f93:3e37 (same person). User has a history of this behaviour since last year, which led to a temporary block on another page and temp. protection of 2 others. I do not wish to edit war. The user has done this on at least 6 other pages which I have observed and/or contributed to. Warnings and attempts to discuss have been exhausted, therefore I am requesting temp. protection and an absolute ban on the user. Xaymacan (talk) 03:14, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Daniel Case the vandal which I complained to you about a couple weeks ago is back at it. This user 68.33.255.195 was blocked from the Jamaican cuisine page by another Admin. Last December you temporarily protected Rice and peas from the same user who uses these IP addresses 68.33.255.195 and 2601:147:4700:2000:b8d3:bbb5:f93:3e37. Below I saw where he/she has also requested protection of the same page, by falsely accusing me of what he/she has been doing. I've exhausted attempts to discuss the issue and warnings, but to no avail. I look forward to some effective intervention from you or another admin. Thanks.

    Moros y Cristianos (dish)

    Reason: repeated suspected vandalism to page by 207.204.64.85 or Xaymacan. Can we please potentially protect the page? They seem confused as to thinking moros y cristianos and rice and peas are the same variation of dish but they are not.They are not cooked the same the only commonality is that they use beans and rice. thank you 68.33.255.195 (talk) 03:29, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The nerve of you to state this, when I have already requested for the page to be protected from you, who has a history of persistent vandalism of at least 6 other pages, which resulted in temp. protection of a few and your IP address being blocked on one occasion. I have tried many times to engage with you, but you refuse to talk, take corrections and come to a consensus. Sometimes, senior editors have intervened and reverted your removals. Other editors on the page have also backed up the edit I made on the article itself with citation, as well as, previous discussions on the talk page about the distinction align with the correction I made. I even provided a credible book source, and welcomed other Cuban and Greater Antilleans (which I know you are not) to chime in on the matter. Since last year, you have been highly disruptive, malicious and committed to contributing inaccuracies that fit your narrative. Doing your due diligence by researching the topic could avoid the edit warring that you have been doing. You have been warned countless times, I am surprised that you haven't been blocked permanently. I await the intervention of the admin. Xaymacan (talk) 04:58, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You consistently edit these pages with non scholarly sources or when you do provide appropriate sources they do not support the claims you make. When you get called out that your citations do not match you complain. You are pushing a narrative that you want through feeling and not through substantiated fact. It has gotten out of hand. 68.33.255.195 (talk) 05:14, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    That is not true. This is the FIRST time you've actually responded to any attempts to discuss the issue. You have a persistent reputation of vandalism on several pages, and you have even removed edits with the same citations/sources that you use, which you're now claiming aren't substantiated. It has certainly gotten out of hand because of your constant actions. Your lack of knowledge on the subject and agenda show. You've not only interfered with my edits, but constructive contributions of other editors. I leave it in the hands of the admin to handle the matter.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Shortcuts

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

    • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page, click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page," which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
    • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
    • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
    • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page, please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected, please use the section below.

    Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
    Shortcut

    Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

    • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
    • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
    • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
    • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.
