    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.

    Liam Cooper

    Reason: The page has had a significant level of IP vandalism/unsourced additions for a while now. Also the subject of a possible transfer so is likely to attract more unconstructive editing Michaeldble (talk) 22:21, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    James Tavernier

    Reason: The page has had a consistent level of IP vandalism for a while now - would suggest a longer protection Michaeldble (talk) 22:23, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:TheGracefulSlick

    Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism – This is the user page of a banned user, which is being targeted by WP:LTA/HR socks gaming extended-confirmed permission to vandalise this EC-protected page. As this page belongs to a user who was banned more than four years ago, I think we should just apply indef full protection so that the LTA vandal has less things to do. — AP 499D25 (talk) 06:06, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: Dr. Ashley Schimmel (talk · contribs) blocked by PhilKnight. indef and globally locked. Daniel Case (talk) 04:30, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Daniel Case I know it's just one user for the time being, but check out History of the chair for another page that has been targeted by this same LTA, which they've been at it with numerous EC-gamed sock accounts over a period of a week now. So I have no doubt they'll come back whenever they have the opportunity to, and vandalise the page more. — AP 499D25 (talk) 05:24, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    As I told you or whoever it was, indef full is just not something I feel comfortable doing without a fuller discussion at AN or somewhere like that giving it consensus. Daniel Case (talk) 05:27, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Saquon Barkley

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 13:07, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 04:53, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    East Meadow High School

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Notable alumni from the school's post-1980s being removed discriminately. HM2021 (talk) 13:13, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Not much editing over the past couple of years. Daniel Case (talk) 04:54, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Elon Musk

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Continued editwarring on infobox image, open discussion on talk page. - FlightTime (open channel) 15:31, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    If we full-protect it, it will mean that when that full protection expires all protection will end as it is not currently possible to layer two levels of protection. I can set a W-Ping to reset it, but this will likely mean there will be some period where the article is completely unprotected. Would you be OK with this possibiility? Daniel Case (talk) 05:14, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Little Barford

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism that changes the location to Cambridgeshire despite maps listing this place being in Bedfordshire. QUICKWITTEDHARE CONVERSE 18:28, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    ...And Justice for All

    Reason: Increasing number of disruptive IP edits within the past 24 hours, making changes contrary to a highly reliable source. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:57, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. No edits in over a year. Daniel Case (talk) 05:35, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Mzwanele Manyi

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism (edit warring). Mzwanele Manyi is senior member of South African parliament and is a controversial, South African, political figure. His public profile is linked to his credibility which needs to be protected from unbalanced and inaccurate commentary. Mzansiknightsa (talk) 19:34, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It was bad at the end of July, but seems quieter now. Daniel Case (talk) 05:36, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Percy Hynes White

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Dawnseeker2000 21:24, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I'll just drop a note here as User:Daniel Case comes by. I've actually started (or resumed, rather) a discussion on the article talk page here regarding the disputed content, and invited all involved editors to it. So far I got all the editors to join in the talk page discussion except for User:Stabwed, who is the only one constantly restoring their edit on the page without engaging in any discussion at all. I've noticed two things about that account, namely:
    1. it is a recently created account and its only (and first) edits were to restore that disputed version of the article. They've not made any edits to other articles or even other parts of the article whatsoever.
    2. They have not been warned or informed on their talk page about the edit-warring policy
    I don't know of any sock farms out there who could be doing this kind of stuff to this particular article, so I'm going to assume good faith here and think that this is just a new user who started editing Wikipedia after noticing a big part went missing on an article that they read frequently. So, I've given them an edit-warring warning (the softer one, i.e. uw-ewsoft) and hopefully they will notice and read what I've said there. — AP 499D25 (talk) 05:35, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Subject recently won the US Open, and as such her article is receiving a lot of vandalism. Hard to keep up with it all.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  22:35, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Marlon Brando

    Indefinate semi-protection: The page is already protected until 2122, which does not make any sense to protect a page for 100 years only for it to not be protected when that 100 years has passed. I think an Indefinate semi protection would be best. 142.114.181.79 (talk) 07:09, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Siege of Moscow (1618)

    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.

    Dream Games

    Reason: Create protection is no longer required because the page will be redirected to Royal Match. The company is not notable enough for its own article, but is best known for its creation of the game. This is the result of an AFC/R request. Original administrator has not been active since April, and a timely response is unlikely. Garsh (talk) 22:27, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/VIBES FM Hamburg

    Protected for over a decade. However, both of the page protectors are likely inactive. Consider downgrading protection level and set a time limit?102.106.191.176 (talk)

    Question: Agree the disruption that led to the AfD being protected has long since ceased. But curious why anyone would need to edit this closed AFD from 2011. The deleted article title (VIBES FM Hamburg) is not protected so is theoretically available for recreation if the subject has since become notable. -- Euryalus (talk) 06:48, 8 September 2024 (UTC) Euryalus (talk) 06:48, 8 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.
