Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

[edit]
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create 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.


Reason: Persistent vandalism, recent edit-warring through IPs as well as a sockpuppet account Surayeproject3 (talk) 14:00, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. @Surayeproject3: If needed, please request again and identify some problematic edits with a brief reason they are problematic. Johnuniq (talk) 01:49, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent addition of content that does not meet the inclusion criteria by IP-hopper. Sjö (talk) 15:09, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Sjö: I protected the article but probably should not have because there should be a brief explanation on article talk about why the IP's urgent edits do not satisfy inclusion criteria (I see that is clear from what the IP added, but we are supposed to explain it). Johnuniq (talk) 01:58, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP disruptive and unsourced edits [[1]] Theonewithreason (talk) 18:44, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 02:00, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Block evasion by Virginia IPs Special:Contributions/198.24.31.113 and Special:Contributions/2001:579:A000:3D0:0:0:0:0/64. Binksternet (talk) 19:07, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 02:02, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Recent uptick in vandalism, though some IP edits are good faith. Entranced98 (talk) 19:35, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 02:15, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Skitash (talk) 20:14, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Stale. Johnuniq (talk) 02:17, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Relevant to WP:ARBPIA, especially around monitoring human rights violations in the region. Thanks!. Smallangryplanet (talk) 20:53, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 02:53, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary extended protection: Arbitration Enforcement. WP:ARBPIA 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neostalkedits) 21:23, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 02:20, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Several IP editors have kept removing the statement that the island is prone to flooding - suspect it is the same editor as the IP's are mobile/cell codes. This is not the case and the Island has a flood evacuation plan with Castle Point Council and the Environment Agency, with the last flood occuring in 2014. Davidstewartharvey (talk) 22:18, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Declined @Davidstewartharvey: You may well be correct but a quick look does not show a statement or reference in the article body that justifies "prone to flooding at exceptional tides". Wikipedia requires a reference for material like that after it has been challenged. If there is no suitable reference, the text should be omitted. At the minimum, there should be a discussion on article talk where the issue is explained. Johnuniq (talk) 02:29, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Lots of vandalism and unconstructive edits lately. Anne drew (talk · contribs) 22:55, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 02:30, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated disruptive edits from IPs have continued since prior protection lapsed. Trailblazer101 (talk) 23:19, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 02:35, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Repeated unexplained deletion of sourced information by IP editors. DH85868993 (talk) 00:23, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 02:36, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Mike Allen 01:46, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 02:37, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Parksfan1955 (talk) 04:37, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 02:38, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Consistent additions of undiscussed mass contents by IPs. – Garuda Talk! 10:40, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Garudam: This is the first protection. It has to escalate to justify further action. Johnuniq (talk) 02:41, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content, continued after protection expired. Waxworker (talk) 15:02, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 02:54, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent unsourced birth date changes counter to existing cited source for DOB. Waxworker (talk) 15:06, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Doesn't seem like this has happened in 9-10 days. Daniel Case (talk) 02:58, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content, continued after protection expired. Waxworker (talk) 15:21, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Declined @Waxworker: I tried to look at the reference but an archive of some weird video jokery is not suitable for a contested birth year. At least, it's not suitable unless a strong consensus on article talk (and probably WP:BLPN) says it is. All I see on talk is doubt. My suggestion would be to omit birth date information until a better reference is available. Johnuniq (talk) 02:59, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Disruptive edits by IP. Edits are a repeat of this serial sockpuppeteer. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 15:24, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 03:04, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. PC failed. 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 16:23, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 03:06, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated disruptive edits from IPs have persisted since protection lapsed. Trailblazer101 (talk) 16:58, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 18:07, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Requesting either a temporary semi-protection for this page, or a block of an IP being used for persistent edit warring on this page. Whichever one is more appropriate. — AFC Vixen 🦊 19:00, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP edit warrior blowing up the infobox with far too many details, has been reverted by multiple users, has been asked to stop or use talkpage to reach consensus but nothing, just reverting over and over. Denniss (talk) 19:14, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 19:29, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism Retlinth (talk) 19:53, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: IP vandalism. The prime minister of Portugal appears to be in some hot water. I think it says a lot about English-language media that I'm learning this from my watchlist, and not from the news. Unknown Temptation (talk) 20:12, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: The Seventh Day Slumber Wikipedia page has been repeatedly targeted by persistent vandalism, including deliberate misinformation and the manipulation of images to misrepresent the band’s reputation. The following disruptive edits have been ongoing:

• Ongoing pattern of trolling – Despite multiple reversions of false edits, the vandalism persists, affecting the integrity of the page.

• Misuse of images – A misleading photo from a smaller event was uploaded to intentionally misrepresent the band’s typical concert attendance.

• Unverified changes to band history and lineup – Critical facts about the band’s background, discography, and personnel have been repeatedly modified without reliable sources.

Given the pattern of disruptive behavior, I am requesting Semi-Protection or Extended Confirmed Protection to prevent further unauthorized and misleading edits. This will ensure that only autoconfirmed editors can modify the page, reducing vandalism while maintaining Wikipedia’s commitment to factual accuracy.

Thank you for your consideration. Blaiseslumber (talk) 22:02, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced material with no article, which has gotten removed by other editors (including me recently) due to low notability. 1isall (talk) 23:00, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Forgot to mention that I want this to be semi-protection. 1isall (talk) 02:10, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Skitash (talk) 00:28, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Extremely obvious magnet for vandalism à la blue whale penis. The past 100 edits have included: 18 edits of IP vandalism, 4 edits of vandalism by brand new registered editors, 0 instances of vandalism by anyone with 10+ edits, 11 reversions of vandalism, and ostensibly not a single productive edit which would've been blocked by semi-protection (note: Purecatprsn made a productive edit and would not have met autoconfirmed criteria, but this was reverting an extremely dubious edit by an IP editor, thus I don't count it). Thus, approximately 1/3 of this list's edits are dedicated solely to vandalism or reversions thereof. Moreover, an instance of obvious vandalism stayed up for four days before it was noticed and reverted by me, indicating these vandalism instances won't be reverted in a timely fashion. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 01:13, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @TheTechnician27: I see your point but this is the first protection and it has to escalate. Johnuniq (talk) 02:43, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Repeated block evasions, BLPVIOs, slow editwarring. Recent request was denied because they got indeffed, but they are WP:LOUTSOCKING. SPI has been filed. Polygnotus (talk) 01:21, 7 March 2025 (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 01:24, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Polygnotus: This is the first protection and so has to be modest. It might not help. If problems continue, please put a brief explanation of current issues on article talk. If it keeps going after that, feel free to ping me. Johnuniq (talk) 02:50, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. FMSky (talk) 02:35, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. FMSky (talk) 02:50, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 02:52, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard 2407:AA80:314:E126:90FC:D64B:B582:A7D0 (talk) 03:00, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on 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

[edit]
Request a specific edit 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.
