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

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I don't claim to understand (or care about) the details of the dispute, but Talk:Brazil national football team records and statistics#Head-to-head session looks like the beginning of a discussion. Favonian (talk) 16:41, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
Rick Beato

LA Fitness
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism from a handful of IPs. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 20:03, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Charli XCX
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Continued editing from non-autoconfirmed accounts; no sourcing to support that the name capitalization change on her recent album is substantial. Walsh90210 (talk) 20:18, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Walsh90210: If significant disruption quickly resumes after the protection ends, please feel free to submit a new request for a somewhat longer duration. As per WP:PREEMPTIVE, we generally don't jump straight to long durations. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:37, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Daniel Quinlan: there was a previous 1-week protection about 3 weeks ago. I expect this will continue until there is a statement about the style change. (But 1 week might be enough) Walsh90210 (talk) 20:43, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Walsh90210: Thanks. After reviewing more diffs, I increased the duration to 1 month. It would be helpful if more edit summaries included a reason like "unsourced or poorly sourced". Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:55, 7 July 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.
Brenda Biya
Reason: Biya has recently received international media coverage (see below) over her coming out. She already has an article on the French Wikipedia, which I have translated at Draft:Brenda Biya. Coverage:

- https://information.tv5monde.com/afrique/brenda-biya-fille-du-president-du-cameroun-affirme-son-homosexualite-2728277 ―Howard • 🌽33 17:43, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- How is this not WP:BLP1E? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:00, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- I imagine that article would become a lightening rod for BLP-violating content. I agree even the draft is WP:BLP1E; any coverage is due to her being the daughter of Paul Biya.-- Ponyobons mots 18:55, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- I believe the article covers several notable aspects from her life. The fact that she is the daughter of a world leader, the accusations of lavishness according to the press, her eviction from the Parisian hotel by the anti-Sardinard Brigade, her controversial comments as noted in the press since 2020, and her coming out which has been noted in the international media. As far as I am aware, this figure has consistently received attention from reliable sources for several years now. ―Howard • 🌽33 11:05, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- So I don't understand how the person is to be considered as only having 1 notable event. ―Howard • 🌽33 11:22, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- How much of this coverage would she have received if not for her parents? Being the daughter of a world leader is not itself grounds for notability, accusations of lavishness are par for the course for the families of top politicians, and coming out of the closet is something the LGBTQIA+ community does regularly enough that it's only news because of her parents. That leaves the hotel eviction as the only event involving her that could possibly help for notability, and in cases like this where the subject is and remains a private person we err towards not having an article. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 17:24, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

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.
