Is there a way to stop other people from editing and/or adding to my information?

Some person I don't know added my mother and uncle to my information on August 19th and marked both of them deceased. My uncle at the time was LIVING. He passed away on the 28th or 29th and when I logged on to change the date I found duplicate entries including the entry that predated his death by TEN DAYS. It was very upsetting. I sent a **** letter to the person who is not related to me and made all these changes deleting relationships and people. It is a tradition in my family to name the babies after the deceased and he removed children from their parents. I have been working on this information for 40 years and know what I am talking about. Can you lock your tree so that people need to send you a message before messing with your research??
