Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
 | This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
| 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 edits misrepresenting facts about the results of a lawsuit filed against Weber which were each either dismissed or settled with no admission or finding of guilt.
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IPs updating the article earlier than they're supposed to; a few days/a week would be preferable. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 02:11, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- "Earlier than they're supposed to"? Do we have a rule that says this? Daniel Case (talk) 03:54, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Constant IP vandalism/changes to team players - anonymous IPs maliciously changing information every other day. The changes are malicious, as it is clearly written that the 'nationality' should be which country they are, can or have represented. Players are also being removed even when they are listed as being part of the first team on the official team website. Yupyuphello (talk) 04:38, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Qaqaamba (talk) 08:40, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary protection: Persistant vandalism, from history I believe there is a contoversy. Pending changes protection might be enough Lordseriouspig 09:08, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Endless IPs adding a non-existant film - has had to be protected 7 times in the past - Arjayay (talk) 12:54, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – There's an ongoing dispute mostly between IPs regarding content related to Dolgopyat's reaction to the October 2023 attack which I think falls under WP:ARBECR. S0091 (talk) 14:07, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Continuous disruption caused by IP editors and new accounts over the last week or two. — kashmīrī TALK 14:18, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Please enfoce WP:CT/IPA. IanDBeacon (talk) 15:40, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Admin action needed for that. — kashmīrī TALK 15:47, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected indefinitely. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 19:15, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Admin action needed for that. — kashmīrī TALK 15:47, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent addition of unsourced information to BLP following press speculation. Egghead06 (talk) 15:17, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Jdcomix (talk) 15:42, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite extended protection: Persistent Vandalism. Vandalism keeps happening to this article 1keyhole (talk) 15:55, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Note: There's no need for indefinite, or ECP, but I would like to see a further period of semi-protection here. I protected the page last time, and I'm looking at getting involved, so I'm passing this to someone else. Some IP edits are OK, but there's various BLP issues, and the right-wing POV-pushers are increasingly turning up. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:57, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Disruptive anon editing [1]. Also sockfarm target [2]. Article is under WP:GS/PAGEANTS. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:14, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent vandalism from IP users. Hotwiki (talk) 17:07, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent vandalism from 3 different IPs asserting his parents are siblings signed, Willondon (talk) 17:24, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – IPs continue adding unsourced shows and NOTTVGUIDE information despite the reverts and warnings. CNMall41 (talk) 17:34, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent edit warring/nearing vandalism. Multiple editors are attempting to force a POV phrase into the article and it has had to be corrected over and over. I don't know if it matters, but the disruptive editors are either anonymous or under a hundred total edits. They have been told not to do so in many edit summaries and refuse to listen. The page had to be protected two months ago due to constant vandalism and I think it needs it again. TanRabbitry (talk) 18:23, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: IP vandalism. Block-evading IPs adding disruptive content. ThomasO1989 (talk) 18:44, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Cyberbot has archived the original request, so re-requesting. @Daniel Case: thanks for the blocks, but it looks like a wider rangeblock will be be needed, or simply semiprotection of the article: please see SPI. Wikishovel (talk) 19:00, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Other admins made those blocks. I will look into the ranges we might want to block. Daniel Case (talk) 19:05, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: 2409:40F3:0:0:0:0:0:0/42 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. from the article for two weeks. Daniel Case (talk) 19:11, 4 August 2024 (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 19:11, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason: A vandal sockpuppet user User: NairaMahiHDPaakhiAadhya was recently banned for adding fanfics by removing sourced information from the listed articles (few other also). Following this, same kind of disruptive edits were made by different IPs, presumably by the same sockpuppet master User: Kairakairav. .245CMR.•👥📜 19:00, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced claims that the duo disbanded following a recent controversy mostly by ip addresses or recently created accounts. I would recommend at least a few months of semi-protection. Thank you. Example of disruptive diffs: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Yvan Part (talk) 19:50, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – ip vandalism, he has switched from Argentina to Germany apparently. Knitsey (talk) 20:19, 4 August 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: A genuine page was deleted.
Manoj Kumar Goswami is a unique personality, an author, journalist, who was awarded Sahitya Academy Award in 2022. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sahitya_Akademi_Award_winners_for_Assamese#Recipients
Please help restore the page or remove blockade to create a new one. Thanks. Babulgogoi (talk) 05:48, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Babulgogoi: I heavily doubt, given your request above, that you should be the one to write that page. Also, you will need to contest the deletion at WP:DRV as it was deleted via Articles for Deletion debate. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 06:01, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Declined. Wrong venue. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:21, 4 August 2024 (UTC)- Also see Manoj Kumar (moved 2021) Zinnober9 (talk) 17:34, 4 August 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.
