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 pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload 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.


Isabella Pappas[edit]

Reason: High level of IP vandalism, an IP (not me, but a different IP) keeps removing the Nationality (British-Italian) from the Lede. In fact it's becoming very persistent, I suggest a a temporary protection for this page. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 01:13, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

If we protect the page you won't be able to edit it either. Are you OK with that? Daniel Case (talk) 04:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
On second thought, is it possible to make the protection a pending changes protection? 70.50.199.125 (talk) 07:47, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
The White lock with the checkmark on it. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 07:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Pending-changes protected indefinitely. Will also log at CTOPS. That will work. Daniel Case (talk) 18:27, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Kundali Bhagya[edit]

Indefinite Extended semi-protection: IP users are doing several unconstructive edits from the time it got unprotected. Please semi-protect it for indefinite time with Extended confirmed users and administrators access for edits.

Pri2000 (talk) 05:31, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will also log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 21:09, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Bombay Stock Exchange[edit]

Reason: Permanent Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Removing all sourced content without having any discussion on talk page. Previously also this IP used to vandalize this stock exchange pages. Tcspower (talk) 06:16, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. This last happened about five days ago. Daniel Case (talk) 21:13, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Addendum: I have decided to leave a CTOPS notice on the talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 21:17, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Al-Aqsa[edit]

Reason: WP:ARBPIA Ccole2006 (talk) 06:57, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 21:19, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

User talk:Gerda Arendt/2011[edit]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Latest target of abuse from globally banned pest WP:LTA/GRP. User is known to post threats and abusive rants on the talk page archives of the users he considers to be his "enemies". (For example, see Special:PageHistory/User talk:JavaHurricane/Archive 5.) Additionally, there is no need for anons to touch talk page archives anyways. JavaHurricane 08:03, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 14:34, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Already protected by administrator Antandrus. Favonian (talk) 15:10, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Big Idea Entertainment[edit]

Reason: Persistent vandalism. Waxworker (talk) 08:27, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 21:23, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Larryboy: The Cartoon Adventures[edit]

Reason: Persistent vandalism. Waxworker (talk) 08:37, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 21:26, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Fertile Crescent[edit]

Reason: Continued WP:ARBPIA vandalism Hypnôs (talk) 08:57, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 21:28, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Template:International military intervention against the Islamic State infobox[edit]

Reason: Permanent semi-protection. Contentious topic (WP:CT/KURD). Multiple unregistered users vandalizing the casualties. Just noticed a vandalism from 2018 that went unnoticed for nearly six years. The edit exponentially increased US casualties from 6 to 71, and the page remained that way since 2018. Diff [1]. Ecrusized (talk) 13:13, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 21:33, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Royal Challengers Bangalore[edit]

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – Autoconfirmed user keeps blanking sections, Extended protection needed. 𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 14:16, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 21:34, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Susan Hall[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Current election, IP address continues to add results to the lead when no such results have been declared yet. Similar disruption likely for a while. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him☎️) 14:21, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 21:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Francis Leo Marcos[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism to unduly promote the subject's philanthropism and supposed net worth. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 14:58, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 21:38, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Peter Sotos[edit]

Reason: The article keeps being reverted to an inferior version of the article by the same person with their reasoning being NPOV, despite everything mentioned in the article being accurate and properly sourced. I do give benefit of the doubt that they mean well, but it is starting to become an editing war, and given the article's subject is a controversial figure, people will most likely have strong opinions about him one way or the other. I'm suggesting that the page become semi-protected due to the controversial nature of the subject and due to continuous reverted edits. CarterLennon (talk) 15:17, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I mean, it's not like the talk page has been used in anything like the past seven years ... Daniel Case (talk) 21:51, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism keeps going after protection expires. Request for even longer protection. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥(ContainThisEmber?) 15:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 21:52, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. We should really consider opening an LTA page on this vandal. Daniel Case (talk) 21:53, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Disruptive editing on the singles on the infobox. Erick (talk) 17:04, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Frequent vandalism since the last 5 days. Thank you!. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 19:10, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Maarten Paes[edit]

Reason: Repeated IP vandalism despite very clear internal note. Anwegmann (talk) 19:29, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

List of pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses in 2024[edit]

Reason: Israel-Hamas conflict, current Politics, etc. originally split off from 2024_pro-Palestinian_protests_on_university_campuses, so should inherit same protection 2600:6C5A:587F:4532:40CE:20FA:16D9:FC05 (talk) 19:46, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick[edit]

Indefinite semi-protection: High, persistent and ongoing IP vandalism SchroCat (talk) 19:51, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

I am NOT vandalizing the page. The article is being edited by numerous WP:UPE sockpuppets. I have literally tried clarifying with you on your talk page. 114.18.93.166 (talk) 19:54, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
You are removing material cited to reliable sources. You’re a vandal, nothing more, nothing less. The page needs protecting from your disruption. - SchroCat (talk) 20:03, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Chakswari[edit]

Reason: Multiple IPs reinstating the same unsourced edits - Arjayay (talk) 20:12, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Sergey Taboritsky[edit]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 20:13, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Oviedo[edit]

Reason: Multiple vandalisms from different IP addresses on the same day (most of them unnoticed for many hours) MGeog2022 (talk) 20:25, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Greek Solution[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Ongoing edit war. Sink Cat (talk) 20:25, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Ruben Vardanyan (politician)[edit]

Reason: The page falls under the sanction of WP:GS/AA and gets its content deleted constantly.

  • A newly registered user deletes Vardanyan's relation to Putin[1], gets warned on talk page [2]. Does the same this again[3]
  • A non-EC, inactive[4] user (3 years), deletes Vardanyan's relation to Putin[5]
  • Yet another newly regostered non-EC user deleted lot's of reliable sources including BBC, Forbes, Washington Post etc.[1][2] The most concerning part is that the user initially deletes 4 sources under the edit name WP:REFMOB[3] and then after 5 minutes, deletes the content saying "any such claims should have multiple sources".[4].

PS: I think it's worth to mention that the article contains some edits by a disclosed COI user. See the talk page template. Aredoros87 (talk) 20:28, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Lilla Akademien[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Sjö (talk) 20:56, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

UFC 301[edit]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Current sporting event seeing the usual uptick in vandalism, a day or two of semi ought to cover it. Nswix (talk) 21:30, 4 May 2024 (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 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[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.
