    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

    Talk:Liv Morgan

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. — Czello (music) 20:49, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I recuse myself from considering this as I've been involved in a discussion on the page. Not the one related to the request, but I think it would be ill-advised for me to be the protecting admin. Daniel Case (talk) 21:04, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. As this is always the same IP in the last days, so I do not think we need to shut down the whole talk-page; WP:UTPROT etc. Lectonar (talk) 07:45, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Royal Brunei Armed Forces

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – This article has been plagued by persistent and blatant vandalism by IP editors, along with newly created accounts. Complaints about vandalism go back to at least 2015. Discussions on its talk page, along with limited duration page protections have totally failed to stop vandals repeatedly inserting identical uncited nonsense. As soon as any temporary protection expires, the vandal returns. Please apply indefinite page protection to retain the integrity of this article, for the relief of the genuine editors who constructively improve this. Militum professio scriniarii (talk) 23:42, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Militum professio scriniarii: If the vandalism is from IP editors and newly created accounts, wouldn't semi-protection be enough? jlwoodwa (talk) 02:40, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 07:46, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I respectfully ask you to reconsider. This article has suffered from repeated and systematic vandalism by IP editors AND newly created accounts. To answer {Ping|Lectonar}} about "not enough recent disruptive activity" - that is simply because the previous protection only expired around the 4 September 2024 - a day later, an IP inserted the identical unsourced BS about China and North Korea being official suppliers. If you kindly look at its edit history from 2 September 2023 and older, there are approximately 56 IP edits (by various IPs) reverted for the same uncited inclusion of China and North Korea being suppliers going back to January 2021. The edit history during that period is just filled with various registered users reverting this persistent vandalism.
    To answer @Jlwoodwa: - yes, I agree that seems more appropriate to go for semi-protection. But being as this as suffered the same identical vandalism since 2015 - I honestly think indefinite protection is needed. Should any IP need to add genuine cited info, they can use the 'protected edit request' facility on its talk page. Kind regards. Militum professio scriniarii (talk) 08:40, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, but we had exactly 1(!) IP edit since the last protection expired, and even that was almost 2 weeks ago. I do not see a need for protection at the moment. If another admin wants to protect: be my guest. Lectonar (talk) 10:58, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Ion Luca Caragiale

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent low-level IP vandalism. About once a month someone changes his middle name to "Lamborghini". Neither the amount nor the recency matters, it should not be permitted to continue. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 01:19, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 07:49, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Lots of new user / IP unsourced and unconstructive edits. Out of the past 50 edits, only a single one of them hasn't been reverted. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 02:13, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Shortcuts

    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.

    Andreas Lubitz

    Reason: This redirect is fully protected because of an argument about whether it should be its own article. This dispute was settled over nine years ago, so this page's current level of protection is unnecessary. Cyrobyte (talk) 19:45, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Spartaz: Protecting admin, back in the day. Favonian (talk) 20:00, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Request removal of semi-protection: The article was semi-protected years ago. Article protection is no longer needed. QuackGuru (talk) 00:38, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm going to ping the two most recently involved admins, as they may be more familiar with the goings-on with the article: @Arthur Rubin and King of Hearts:. As the long protection log shows, the article has suffered from perennial abuse, so unprotection should be carefully considered. Airplaneman ✈ 02:48, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm no longer an admin, but I have no reason to doubt that pro-chiropractic vandalism will continue if semi-protection is removed. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 13:01, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, no. My suggestion would be to propose desired edits on the talk page using the requested edit format referenced on this page. Dlohcierekim (talk) 20:34, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
