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

Extended Confirmed Protection: High level of sock vandalism. ZenDragoX (User) | (Contact) 12:32, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Please enforce WP:CT/IPA IanDBeacon (talk) 13:01, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It doesn't look frequent enough for an increase to ECP. (I did update the CTOPS notice on the talk page to mention the semi-protection, though). Daniel Case (talk) 18:38, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Being targeted by Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ksdccandrc. Page otherwise is rarely edited. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 14:36, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: TechSavy002 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. indef. Obvious sock, better to deal with them this way at this point. Daniel Case (talk) 18:56, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Final Destination: Bloodlines
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – ongoing IP addition of unsourced material. Joeyconnick (talk) 18:43, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Protection is not the solution for issues with a single IP. OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:45, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Reason: A user with a new account continues to undo edits without specifying a reason, although the result is written there, as well as sources that completely refute his additions are indicated.Dushnilkin (talk) 19:10, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Content dispute. Consider dispute resolution. No one's used the talk page yet. I will leave a CTOPS notice on it, but the rest is up to you. Daniel Case (talk) 19:25, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Cloud Strife
Reason: IP repeatedly replacing cited content with unsourced pov Fieryninja (talk) 19:36, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Aoidh (talk) 20:20, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Recurring POV disruption/vandalism, intermittently since last year at least (e.g.: [1], [2], [3], [4]) but more frequently since April ([5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]). The frequency goes up and down, but the recent editing history is now dominated by these tediously reverted IP edits. R Prazeres (talk) 20:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Talk:ElevenLabs
Reason: High level of tests bizzare non-English edits from IP Alexeyevitch(talk) 21:21, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Oldest people
Reason: Full protection needed. Edit warring between 2 users. May require action against the users involved for the edit war and the accusations on the article's talk page. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 21:46, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Timeline of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict in 2014
Reason: WP:ARBPIA Ccole2006 (talk) 21:47, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Euronymous
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. Long term persistent vandalism. TylerBurden (talk) 21:52, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Poot
Reason: Vandalised in the same way by seven different new accounts, crudely named, over a period of two weeks. Suggesting protection time of greater duration than two weeks. signed, Willondon (talk) 22:10, 14 May 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.
Rebecca Black
Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because recent revision history does not show excessive disruptive editing within the last few months. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 04:52, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Ping Gfoley4 as the admin who protected in 2011. I assume unprotection would be ok. Johnuniq (talk) 05:04, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Are you sure the lack of disruption isn't because of the protection? - Sumanuil. (talk to me)
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.
Talk:Israel–Hamas war
I would like to request the addition of a talk page on the Israel-Hamas war article that points out that the map on said article doesn’t show the Israeli evacuation order from Rafah and should be updated. LordOfWalruses (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Not done. This is too vague. It is not clear what you want. Administrators here are not necessarily familiar with the subject article. Your request must be specific and complete, saying exactly what should be changed, and why, and what supports the change you want. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:15, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Israel–Hamas war
Change "Since the start of the Israeli operation, more than 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed,[86] including over 15,000 children and 10,000 women.[87][88]" to "Since the start of the Israeli operation, nearly 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed,[86] including over 7,000 children and nearly 5,000 women.[87][88]." This is based on the data recently revised by the UN, accessible here: https://www.ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-reported-impact-day-215.
