Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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.
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here | ||

Reason: Persistent disruption by unregistered user, despite multiple requests to cease and discuss instead. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 04:47, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I've issued a warning for edit warring. If this continues either drop me a line or request assistance at WP:3RRN. Ad Orientem (talk) 05:30, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Salt the earth - Repeated re-creation by sock-/meatpuppets; subject has been consistently rejected whenever a draft has been submitted due to an utter lack of sources. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 06:33, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – IP changing signatures, not contributing to article, harassing paid editor. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/73.211.173.173. Diff Special:Diff/1244740877. ⸺(Random)staplers 06:42, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism since last semi expired. MaterialsPsych (talk) 07:19, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Repeated vandalism by specific users/IPs adding false information with no reliable sources. Please review and take action against repeated vandalism. Here is a sample of the recurrent edits, adding false information about money laundering to the page without credible sources. It relies solely on a single website that is neither authentic nor trustworthy. As apparent in the history of the page, this piece of information was added and removed way too many times. • curprev 02:36, 9 September 2024 2402:e000:508:5006:91e:d4d2:4870:e04c talk 16,480 bytes +178 No edit summaryundo Tag: Undo • curprev 12:51, 8 September 2024 Urban Goodwin I talk contribs m 16,302 bytes −178 Undid revision 1244666261 by 2402:E000:508:5006:91E:D4D2:4870:E04C (talk) undothank Tags: Undo Reverted • curprev 12:45, 8 September 2024 2402:e000:508:5006:91e:d4d2:4870:e04c talk 16,480 bytes +178 No edit summaryundo Tags: Reverted Visual edit • curprev 14:34, 4 September 2024 Thenightaway talk contribs 16,302 bytes +1,072 Undid revision 1243993554 by Prash1998 (talk) undothank Tags: Undo Reverted • curprev 13:39, 4 September 2024 Thenightaway talk contribs 16,302 bytes +1,072 Undid revision 1243945458 by Prash1998 (talk) undothank Tags: Undo Reverted • curprev 16:21, 2 September 2024 JohnFromPinckney talk contribs 16,302 bytes +1,072 Reverted 1 edit by Prash1998 (talk): Rv unexplained edit-warring deletion of sourced material.

Marina0804 (talk) 07:43, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Requesting bluelocking. The article is still subject to continued WP:BLP violations, sockpuppetry, and edit-warring. The sockmaster has been trying to add 12,000 bytes of defamatory material for the past two weeks, most recently, with his brand-new Ymberlen account.[1] I removed the text from the article per WP:BLPRS because I think it beats WP:3RR. See Special:Diff/1244038066 if you are interested in the details. @User:Daniel Case. Thank you. 31.30.111.66 (talk) 08:24, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing; addition of unsourced (caste related POV) content; WP:GSCASTE. Ekdalian (talk) 08:50, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- IPs observed to be adding unsourced content repeatedly and disturbing certain templates. Thewikizoomer (talk) 09:43, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Template is in the WP:ARBPIA CTOP area. TarnishedPathtalk 10:18, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Vandalism by Indonesian trolls like User:Bagusekaf07 and IP. Would like longer protection period than one week. 3skandar (talk) 10:18, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Semi protection. A large number of edits are repeatedly reverting IP's who change the spelling of "alfa" to "alpha", despite the plain text being "al<--do not change-->f<--do not change-->a." — kwami (talk) 11:09, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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.
Reason: Create protection is no longer required because the page will be redirected to Royal Match. The company is not notable enough for its own article, but is best known for its creation of the game. This is the result of an AFC/R request. Original administrator has not been active since April, and a timely response is unlikely. Garsh (talk) 22:27, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
Done This doesn't seem controversial to me. Ad Orientem (talk) 02:24, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Protected for over a decade. However, both of the page protectors are likely inactive. Consider downgrading protection level and set a time limit?102.106.191.176 (talk)
Question: Agree the disruption that led to the AfD being protected has long since ceased. But curious why anyone would need to edit this closed AFD from 2011. The deleted article title (VIBES FM Hamburg) is not protected so is theoretically available for recreation if the subject has since become notable. -- Euryalus (talk) 06:48, 8 September 2024 (UTC) Euryalus (talk) 06:48, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Comment: There's no reason to edit it, so why unprotect it? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 07:10, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Let me ask you this then: why won't you at least let EC users fix Linter Errors in case if they notice any?102.106.191.176 (talk) 07:20, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Does it have any? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 07:26, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Sumanuil It's clean from all lint* error types that we regularly fix and I don't see any reason to need to edit that page for lint reasons.
- * The one "issue" that you'll see listed there in the lint info, "night-mode-unaware-background-color", is more a tracking category than a lint error, and it is predominantly being left alone by the experienced delinting editors since we don't really agree with WMF for it's classification as lint, and since the issues are not well defined with a high rate of false flags. Until then, those issues are to be ignored. Zinnober9 (talk) 15:35, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Not unprotected I reduced the protection to WP:ECP. No reason for less than that. Johnuniq (talk) 10:46, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Unprotection: Was protected due to IP activity during the release of a popular film. It can be unprotected considering the history being calm, giving chance to potential improvements by new users. Thewikizoomer (talk) 07:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- If not possible protection until 1 January 2025 is more than enough according to me. Thewikizoomer (talk) 07:33, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Not unprotected @Thewikizoomer: In the history of the article (see links above), click "logs" near the top to see the protection action with reason. The links in that reason explain that articles in contentious topics are often protected. Johnuniq (talk) 10:41, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The user who requested page protection is a bully who reverted necessary edits. An entire paragraph was repeated in the article. When an IP cleaned up the mistake they reverted it. They also reverted the ips edit in unrelated pages. They have a personal vendetta gainst them. They protected dthe page and possibly used a sockpuppet to revert the page to the state they wanted it to be in. They have an agenda. So please unprotect the page Donteatgarlic (talk) 10:28, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Not unprotected @Donteatgarlic: You must not accuse other editors of bad behavior unless accompanied with evidence and at a noticeboard for that purpose, usually WP:ANI. If you have a proposal regarding the article, suggest it at the article talk page, with reliable sources. Johnuniq (talk) 10:36, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Here is the evidence. The editor reverted the ips edit in rape in Pakistan.Then they proceeded to revert another edit made by the same in nwfp referendum article. They clearly have a personal vendetta. They accused me of all sorts of stuff when I sided with the ip. My edit was very valid. There was an entire paragraph copy pasted from one place to another. So please consider my request. Donteatgarlic (talk) 10:39, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- they removed vandalism warnings from their talk page. Someone is being allowed to commit vandalism and block people who are trying to stop them Donteatgarlic (talk) 10:48, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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.
"On 1 April, seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen, including British, Polish, Australian, and Irish nationals, were killed in an Israeli airstrike south of Deir al-Balah" is incorrect and should be reworded as
"On 1 April, seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen, including a dual US-Canada national, a Palestinian, three British citizens, an Australian, and a Pole, were killed in an Israeli airstrike south of Deir al-Balah" as per [2], [3]. 148.75.59.49 (talk) 23:26, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
I would like to request that... (date of death is updated to 30/11/2024) . Jamesington (talk) 23:58, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: For which one? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 02:34, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Jamesington Presumably you mean Sophie Anderson (actress) as that is protected, and 30/11/2023 not 30/11/2024. Do you have a source? TSventon (talk) 21:43, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
I suggest adding to 'War Crimes' a section about the Sde Teiman detention camp. The use of concentration/torture camps is a very notable war crime and an important fact as it pertains to the ceasefire negotiations regarding hostage swaps. It is also relevant as many have been taken from Gaza and are being tortured under pretext of "interrogation." Jdftba (talk) 08:36, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
