Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

[edit]
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Reason: Falsification of sources, constant removal of content, unsourced statements, several reversions through the years from multiple users and anons. Where is the source claiming she has a new name? Not even her Instagram says that. Skemous (talk) 22:13, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

DeclinedWarn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. This is essentially one user, Writersluck777. It's always better to engage single users directly than to shut down the page. Lectonar (talk) 11:00, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – Adding controversial infos and undiscussed edits by new users. Niasoh ❯❯❯ Wanna chat? 22:59, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

DeclinedWarn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Lectonar (talk) 11:00, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Home Lander (talk) 23:14, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Disruptive edits are months apart. Lectonar (talk) 11:01, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Home Lander (talk) 23:15, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Lectonar (talk) 11:01, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:PIA, as the article relates to the recent Israel-Arab conflict. Badbluebus (talk) 23:35, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Yes it does, but the last disruptive edit was about a month ago. Lectonar (talk) 09:14, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – it's being targetted by single purpose accounts that are either misrepresenting the sources (to include factually incorrect information) or removing content without explanation. None of them is remotely interested in the talk page discussion that I started. M.Bitton (talk) 01:03, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 11:46, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Repeated recent vandalism from IP/non-confirmed users. Sigma440 (talk) 01:47, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of four days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 11:48, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeat vandalism and random unfunny jokes referencing Puff Daddy. 💽 LunaEclipse 💽 🌹 ⚧ (CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST) 01:49, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 11:49, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent POV removal or distortion of sourced material. Khirurg (talk) 03:42, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 11:51, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: A similar request that was sent last night, was rejected. However, there continues to be unsourced information added which may or may not be Wikipedia:Vandalism. Some level of edit protection would prove beneficial and help prevent these continued edits. DisneyMetalhead (talk) 03:48, 8 January 2025 (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 04:03, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 11:53, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. ~Darth StabroTalk  Contribs 04:43, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 11:55, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Consistent addition of irrelevant images to infobox and vandalism from IP addresses and sock accounts. Would be better if semi-protected for some period to check this. M2 (talk) 05:57, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 11:57, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Same as previous protection. All but one IP edit to this minor US town article in the past couple of years has been trying to make the Simpsons joke, probably because it's the top autocomplete article result for "sneed". Belbury (talk) 09:03, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Lectonar (talk) 09:16, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP disruptions and edit-warring. Jingiby (talk) 09:45, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

User(s) blocked: 2a02:1406:59:8251::/64 (talk · contribs).
Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 11:47, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated IP vandal, despite talk page warnings. Vestrian24Bio 10:15, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

DeclinedWarn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. BusterD (talk) 11:58, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: The article has been repeatedly vandalized by unregistered users and IPs, causing unnecessary disruption. Given that it's a new and controversial topic, the constant editing wars and vandalism are making it difficult to maintain its integrity. Semi-protection would help ensure that only more experienced users can contribute, preserving the quality of the content. Bolly ka Badshah (talk) 10:22, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection provides a limited, but essential, layer of security, offering protection for a period of time to prevent vandalism or disruption, while still allowing for contributions from a broader range of users. Bolly ka Badshah (talk) 10:24, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Sutyarashi (talk) 10:50, 8 January 2025 (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 10:51, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent Vandalism - Removal or changing of content that might be considered as vandalism. Galaxybeing (talk) 11:59, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

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.

Reason: This article was protected in 2015 to prevent vandalism. This was nearly 10 years ago now, which is a long time for vandalism protection to persist - likely overlooked because it's not a big actor or highly trafficked page.

I think it should be safe to remove the protection now. I am unable to ask the editor who applied the protection to remove it as their page sadly shows they are deceased. Thank you. 2A02:C7C:CC80:8200:B4FF:FC7A:8941:66A3 (talk) 00:06, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I have done what I always do in these cases: I have downgraded to pending-changes protection fpr some months, and watchlisted. If there is no great disruption, this protection will just fade out. Lectonar (talk) 08:35, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Template-protected redirects to semi-protected template doesn't make sense. Nobody (talk) 08:29, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

@Ixfd64: last protecting admin. Lectonar (talk) 11:08, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

[edit]
Request a specific edit 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.
