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
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Current requests for increase in protection level
Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload 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.
Extended confirmed protection: Two reasons after Daniel Case had changed protection to auto confirmed: (1) WP:ARBEE due to Russo–Ukrainian War and (2) WP:ARBPIA under the scope of the 2023 Israel–Hamas War as evidenced here. 70.51.215.103 (talk) 03:19, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't put it on ECP since a) it's not directly relevant to the Israel-Hamas war, and b) while it undeniably touches on RUSUKR that is not the central focus of the article; it's considerably broader. Daniel Case (talk) 19:11, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent addition of original research by anonymous editor. Ken Gallager (talk) 12:11, 5 September 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 12:19, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: 64.223.134.136 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. From the article for one week. Daniel Case (talk) 00:57, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism. 2409:4073:200B:A8F6:293C:B4C8:B5CC:BCD4 (talk) 12:31, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: @2409:4073:200B:A8F6:293C:B4C8:B5CC:BCD4: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 12:35, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 00:58, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent adding either unsourced or poorly sourced material by sock hopping IP addresses. There are numerous IPs that have made edits and I'm certain one of them is the same person as they all come from Santa Cruz. In fact, a year ago I requested that page be protected because of a particular editor making similar edits.[1] Now it looks like that editor is making edits while logged out.

User(s) blocked: 181.188.160.0/19 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. from article for a week}} Daniel Case (talk) 01:40, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Disruptive editing - the same user who vandalised the page with my Care Bears fan shows in the past has been vandalising the page again after the six month protection expired. Refuses to listen even after I posted a talk page post. Luigitehplumber (talk) 17:41, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: 86.15.45.211 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. from the article for three months. Daniel Case (talk) 02:06, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: High risk of IP vandalism due to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Israel-Hamas war. MagyarNavy1918 (talk) 20:19, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- It is not clear to me that this is a CT article. Hillel International is not protected either. Ymblanter (talk) 20:25, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Just created today, in any event. Daniel Case (talk) 02:07, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: I would like to request protection for this page due to ongoing issues with persistent vandalism. Multiple anonymous or unregistered users are frequently adding and removing information, much of which is unsourced and unreliable. Despite efforts to revert these changes, the disruptive edits continue to occur at a high frequency, undermining the page's reliability and integrity.
I believe that semi-protection would help prevent further disruptions and allow for constructive, cited contributions from established editors.
Thank you for your consideration. Krishnpremi (talk) 21:33, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Article hasn't been edited at all in six days. For disruptive edits you have to go back even further. Daniel Case (talk) 02:13, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Past instances of transphobic vandalism including dead-naming the Author of the webcomic 2601:586:8201:5750:39F1:DFDF:DB8C:A279 (talk) 22:03, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Will also log at CTOPS under GENSEX. Daniel Case (talk) 02:17, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Mike Allen 22:27, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 02:27, 6 September 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.
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.
"On 1 April, seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen, including British, Polish, Australian, and Irish nationals, were killed in an Israeli airstrike south of Deir al-Balah" is incorrect and should be reworded as
"On 1 April, seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen, including a dual US-Canada national, a Palestinian, three British citizens, an Australian, and a Pole, were killed in an Israeli airstrike south of Deir al-Balah" as per [3], [4]. 148.75.59.49 (talk) 23:26, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Empty Legacy section ThatTechGuy2008 (talk) 19:55, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Done I've removed that empty section. If that's not what you had in mind, please read WP:ER for instructions on how to make an edit request. OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:07, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank You. ThatTechGuy2008 (talk) 20:14, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
