    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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Disruptive editing from different IP addresses. Amigao (talk) 15:42, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024–25 Borussia Dortmund season

    Reason: Several IP's (all from the same place) have been removing players from the squad section over and over again, without ever explaining their edits, even though these players are part of Dortmund's squad for the season (see the source above the squad list). I already requested protection before, the IP's had been blocked from editing after that, but now a fourth IP (again from the same location) popped up and kept removing these same players without further comment.

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Remsense ‥ 论 07:36, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Remsense is continuously putting biased pov unsourced nonsense into this article. I have just reverted it to the non-pov version with reference sources to support all the information, unlike Remsense who has provided NO REFERENCES whatsoever for his biased pov edits. Thank you128.90.165.16 (talk) 07:40, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You're welcome! I shouldn't have to justify content issues here, but the sockpuppet has already been patiently told why their additions weren't accepted, and they have very little to do with POV, but structure, style and coherence. Remsense ‥ 论 07:41, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    STOP posting biased lies on this article Remsense, you did not provide any reference sources for your biased pov edits. I have provided numerous academic reference sources to the non-pov version, I did you a favor since you either uneducated in history or just being a vandal, You’re Welcome..!! 128.90.165.16 (talk) 07:46, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Someone else needs to deal with this, because I've already been baited by inscrutably structured edits into reacting more than I should have. Just put an "East Asians" top level section there outside where it should go over and over, whatever. I shouldn't've restored that content, I'll fess up. But you didn't communicate in response to me about what was actually wrong until now or respond to the things I pointed out were wrong. Remsense ‥ 论 07:59, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This is now the third time we're requesting page protection. The article is continuously a target for the addition of unsourced information to the entry list. Once again, I ask for pending changes protection, until the end of the current F1 season on 8 December. I do not see any reason why this request would again be ignored, past protections have lasted for a couple weeks only for vandalism to immediately resume. This is not a productive use of editors' times to constantly be reverting garbage edits from IPs and new users and then coming back here to keep asking for the same thing that would prevent this. 5225C (talk • contributions) 07:51, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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 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.

    BTS

    Reason: Three years ago, this page was extended-confirmed protected due to an edit war. I talked to the protecting admin and stated that there is zero chance for him to unprotect the article. Would consider downgrading the protection to semi. ScarletViolet tc 11:46, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Marehan

    Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because ....... . Banjja (talk) 14:08, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Dear Wikipedia Administrators, I am writing to respectfully request the unprotection of the article titled "Marehan." I understand that this page is currently protected to prevent vandalism, but I believe that unprotecting it, or at least reducing the level of protection, would allow for valuable contributions from knowledgeable editors like myself and others. I am particularly interested in making well-researched edits and updates to enhance the quality and accuracy of the information on this page. I am aware of Wikipedia's guidelines and policies and will ensure that my contributions comply with the platform's standards. Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to contributing to the improvement of this article.

    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.
