    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.

    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

    The_Light_(newspaper)

    Reason: Increasing amounts of IP vandalism MrEarlGray (talk) 22:14, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There were only three problematic edits, which were caught almost immediately. Please re-report if the problem is persistent. Diannaa (talk) 04:22, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Droop quota

    Indefinite pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Continuous style-warring and attempts to remove the most-common definition of the Droop quota by an unregistered editor. (Who has kept this up from many different IPs.) IP has repeatedly ignored attempts at explaining this on both the article talk and in a conversation I had with them on my user talk. (The Droop quota is sometimes defined v⁄k+1 and sometimes v+1⁄k+1; user keeps deleting the first definition.). – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 22:40, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The user hasn't edited since the beginning of the month. Daniel Case (talk) 04:29, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Henry Oaminal

    Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Persistent disruptive editing and WP:COI. New editors continually remove controversial sections and replace them with positive but unsourced information. The article was protected two months ago for this reason but expired three weeks ago. Annh07 (talk) 04:44, 13 January 2025 (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 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.

    Indefinite pending changes protection: Can be reduced to indefinite pending changes protection, as i believe its unnecesarry so that we can give non-vandalising ip users a chance 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 10:32, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pinging Anarchyte. --Ahecht (TALK
    PAGE    )     19:40, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the ping Ahecht. I would decline this. The article has a long protection history and the recent talk page edit requests don't instil me with hope that lowering it will result in more constructive edits. I would also hesitate given the recent political scandal. Anarchyte (talk) 00:19, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected per above. Daniel Case (talk) 04:39, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Michelle Steel

    Reason: Requesting permanent semi-protection because the individual is no longer in office or a candidate for political office. There is a much lower risk of vandalism or disruption to this page for a former member of the U.S. House who is not particularly controversial.

    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.
