    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.

    Second Life

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP 2406:3400:60D:B1E0:6C36:336A:BFD6:40F6/64 persistently edit warring to change the text to be contrary to what the sources say. This IP has already been blocked under this IP but continues to edit on the rest of their /64 (all the same person). Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:36, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    ETA: I see that their block was, in fact, temporary and expired. But it remains the same disruptive user. Note, for instance, this previous attempt to insert this with deceptive edsum [1]. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:41, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of state and union territory capitals in India

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent vandalism and disruptive edits by IPs ongoing for months (ever since 1 year semi protection expired). Since the page is just a list of capitals, no regular edits are foreseen here. Requesting indefinite/ long term semi protection against such IP edits. Dhruv edits (talk) 12:45, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Bhoja

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Frequently targetted page subject to sanctioned WP:CASTE disruption; as the page history would denote, unlikely to subside. Gotitbro (talk) 12:47, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Allan Lichtman

    Reason: His page is already protected but may need another protection. Allan Lichtman has contined to push for updates to his own page, including on YouTube interviews last night, in contravention of Wikipedia conflict of interest rules and the consensus of the page's editors regarding his predictive record. Caraturane (talk) 13:23, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Forgot to add: this is a request for an extension of the protection or whatever you feel is best given the situation. Ever since protection went up, the talk page has been consistent in its view as to his predictive record, as has the related The Keys to the White House talk page. There has not been widespread disagreement about what the pages should say, but he has continued to agitate for the edits on the side for most of the last month (including on his YouTube channel) and there is concern the pages will get edit spammed with edits, against the talk page consensus, once again. Caraturane (talk) 13:27, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm going to hold off on this until disruption resumes. Maybe semi or ecp will be sufficient? Elli (talk | contribs) 16:24, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:2024 Kolkata rape and murder incident

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Sockpuppet IP of Blaxstocatamazon is back and making similar legal threats see Blaxstocatamazon's contributions[2]. Ratnahastin (talk) 14:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Subh-i-Azal

    Temporary semi-protection: User:Qalandar303 was banned indefinitely less than two years ago (ANI link). Several IPs have been making similar edits to the same page over the last five days, with the same tone of voice on the talk page (e.g. You have been reverted, and will continue to be so indefinitely. If you continue to misbehave, brow-beat and bully, rights are reserved to take furthermore action.).

    Please semi-protect for a month. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 16:00, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Asian fetish

    Reason: Has been a target before, and with my most recent edits (thoroughly researched, and publicly posted before I made them), I'm anticipating a very high probability of further shenanigans. ShinyAlbatross (talk) 17:04, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: addition of poor quality content that conflicts with information that is already in this article. D4R1U5 (talk) 18:06, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Not really seeing anything the editors aren't handling, and also I am hesitant to casually protect an article at AfD as either a) it will deleted and not be an issue, or b) it might keep editors who could add material that saves it from deletion from doing so.

    Zionism

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – This article already has "Consensus Required" restriction on it, and multiple XC editors are reverting in violation of established consensus on the talk page (see Talk:Zionism#Revert for a previous round where, at the bottom of the thread, the established consensus about one line was re-affirmed), likely in response to recent high-profile posts on X (e.g., this post by Brianna Wu, this post by Hen Mazzig). (There is also non-XC disruption on the talk page.) Suggest short-term (few days or a week) full protection of the article, and ECP of the talk page, to force XC editors to go to the talk page to suggest changes in accordance with the Consensus Required restriction. Note the article is already ECP'd and the talk page is not protected; I'm suggesting boosting the article to full and the talk page to ECP. TIA, Levivich (talk) 22:48, 16 September 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.

    Andreas Lubitz

    Reason: This redirect is fully protected because of an argument about whether it should be its own article. This dispute was settled over nine years ago, so this page's current level of protection is unnecessary. Cyrobyte (talk) 19:45, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Spartaz: Protecting admin, back in the day. Favonian (talk) 20:00, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The imposition of a redirect was endorsed at DRV and the advice was to allow a discussion before considering any changes to the level of protection. I guess my question is why do you want to remove the protection? Spartaz Humbug! 12:06, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Reason: Arbitrarian editions by IP users.

    I think semi-protection (for only auto-user cofirmed) could work. Thank you all. Rey1996ss (talk) 18:03, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
