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
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here | ||

Hit Me Hard and Soft
Reason: there have been numerous edits coming from anonymous or unsigned accounts, which often include biased tone with an unreliable sources WP:DE. Currently, the page is unprotected, allowing anyone to make edits without restrictions. Hence, it is crucial to ensure the protection of this page. Newpicarchive (talk) 10:01, 28 May 2024 (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 10:12, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The regular editors seem to be taking care of things just fine for now. Daniel Case (talk) 19:30, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Bikita District
Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Article is the target of an IP-hopper who continually attempts to portray a high-level public servant as deceased but has been unable to come up with any source more reliable than one quoting a local version of WP:DAILYMIRROR. Skywatcher68 (talk) 13:26, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 7 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:27, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
User(s) blocked blocked by Daniel Quinlan. The disruptive IP editor is blocked from editing that page. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:27, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Reason: Persistent levels of vandalism from IP accounts as well as new accounts that are solely made to vandalize the page. IDKFA-93 (talk) 16:06, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Fortune Global 500
Reason: Hello everyone. I kindly ask you if it is possible to make a specific section of the "Fortune Global 500" page non-editable and specifically "Breakdown by country/territory". I kindly ask you to read the talk page of the page. In the last month there have been continuous attempts at editing CONTRARY to the fundamental principles of Wikipedia.
Specifically, the SOURCE cited "Global 500". Fortunes. Retrieved October 23, 2023" EXPLICITLY indicates that, for 2023, the United States is first with 136 companies and China is second with 135 companies.
Some editors continue to change the figure to indicate that China has 142 companies. In fact, they add 7 Taiwanese companies to the 135 companies in China.
However, this is contrary to what is reported in the SOURCE and allows a POLITICALLY MOTIVATED SUBJECTIVE POINT OF VIEW to prevail.
Taiwan is considered a territory and therefore its companies should not be added to those of China.
I therefore ask you to leave the data for 136 companies for the United States and 135 for China unchanged and ineditable.
This request is driven only by technical considerations, relating to RESPECT for the principles of Wikipedia and not political ones. In fact, Taiwan is not a de jure country.
Thank you Chrisques5 (talk) 19:47, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It is all or nothing. – robertsky (talk) 21:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Bo Dallas
Temporary pending changes protection: Persistent vandalism in the past day by two blocked VOAs and one new account whose sole edit has been to vandalize again. However, there have also been productive edits by IPs in the past few days. Air on White (talk) 20:05, 28 May 2024 (UTC) edited Air on White (talk) 20:08, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Waltz with Bashir
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Israeli historical film about an Israeli soldier's witnessing of a massacre of Palestinian refugees by a Lebanese military group. Needs protection under ARBPIA. Air on White (talk) 20:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Adult Swim (Latin American TV channel)
Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content. Waxworker (talk) 22:46, 28 May 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.
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.

- @Chrisques5: Protection is page-level and cannot be done for specific sections. Even if this were possible, you requested this on the page for requesting edits for the page. You want to request protection at WP:RFPP/I. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 23:20, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
Richland Mall (Ohio)
Change the title to "The Ontario Center" due to rename of the Richland Mall to The Ontario Center. Braitcapital (talk) 19:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Not done – This would require consensus at the article talk page. Please submit a move request by following the instructions at WP:Requested moves#Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. Favonian (talk) 19:43, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Miss Arizona USA
Hello! I am hoping someone is able to assist me in updated the 2024 Miss Arizona USA's name on the winners list. Her legal name is actually just the letter K, however someone posted Kristina which is incorrect. If you refer to the Miss Arizona USA's social media pages you can see they also have her name listed as just the letter K.
If you need any communications from Miss Arizona USA herself, please let me know.
Thank you! Drlopez3129 (talk) 20:45, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
