Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    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

    Temporary semi-protection: IPs edit warring to restore a character's first name (which is not used in the film's dialogue) and some excessive "slashes his face down to his neck with a knife, pushes him down the stairs, then stabs him to death" detail to the plot summary. Belbury (talk) 17:49, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 18:17, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Nazism in the Americas

    Reason: Requesting temporary full protection due to likely disruption over very recent (Jan 2025) content that raises WP:NOTNEWS and WP:UNDUE concerns. Recent additions involve ongoing political events that would benefit from a cooling period to allow for proper sourcing and discussion. D0TheMath6.28 (talk) 18:46, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @D0TheMath6.28: Pages do not get protected pre-emptively. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:48, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    This is not preemptive - I am actively removing content that fails NOTNEWS/UNDUE, which is likely to trigger edit warring given the controversial nature of the content and subject. The protection request comes alongside content removal to prevent the disruption cycle, not before any action. D0TheMath6.28 (talk) 18:56, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @D0TheMath6.28: Apologies; you led with "likely disruption", which read differently to me than what you intended. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 19:00, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Done due to multiple IPs edit warring. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 18:49, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Loads of IP vandalism KeyzCar (talk) 19:11, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Oregon Ducks football

    Reason: Edit warring over recent national championship selection by Peter Wolfe, an NCAA-designated major selector, that was different than the winner of the 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship game. PK-WIKI (talk) 19:27, 21 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.

    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.

    Joe Biden

    Remove: "Historians and political scientists rank Biden as above average in historical rankings of American presidents."

    Way too soon to suggest that in the main text of the article! He has barely left office, its going to be at least a few months before such a bold claim can be made. Is there really enough historians and political scientists saying this to justify this claim? BlunanNation (talk) 08:42, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Israel–Hamas war

    Currently, the lede states "On 7 October 2023, Hamas-led militant groups launched a surprise attack on Israel, taking 251 captive, against which Israelis responded applying the controversial Hannibal Directive, resulting in the death of 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals, among which 815 civilians.". This implies that the majority of the casualties were caused by Israel applying the Hannibal Directive, and despite some cases of casualties due to this, no credible source has made the claim that the majority of casualties originate from it. I suggest changing the lede back to what it was before it was randomly edited to the current lede without any discussion on the talk page about it, to "On 7 October 2023, Hamas-led militant groups launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals and taking 251 captive." Aradkipod (talk) 12:29, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Gulf of Mexico

    I am NOT suggesting the title be changed to "Gulf of America". I am requesting that the article introduction to say "The Gulf of Mexico, called the Gulf of America in the United States,...". And this is because some Arabian countries decided to offically change the name of the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Gulf and Wikipedia said Persian Gulf OR Arabian Gulf, but it's not being done here for whatever reason. This was actually done but reversed for whatever reason. And there should be a formal RFC not 5 different discussions about the topic. Rc2barrington (talk) 17:24, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    If there should be a formal RFC then this page cannot help. Read WP:Request for comment and start it on Talk:Gulf of Mexico, if you are able. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 17:29, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not done – Earlier today, you participated in discussions regarding this topic at Talk:Gulf of Mexico. That's where the matter will be decided. Favonian (talk) 17:36, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
