    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



    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. scope_creepTalk 21:52, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    How's that vandalism, mate? Doesn't look like it to me. Explain maybe? Guy (help!) 22:10, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined, whatever it was it stopped in any case--Ymblanter (talk) 08:13, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent activity of IPs controlled by a trolling user (known to the Greek-language WP community from similar activity) who, because of hostility to the Piraeus well-known FC Olympiakos removes all the time the fact that the Peace and Friendship Stadium, the venue where the games took place, is located in Neo Faliro (see el:Νέο Φάληρο), a district of the city of Piraeus. ——Chalk19 (talk) 10:20, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    This user (Chalk19) vandalize this article by removing all the references (and oficcial ones) and have the similar behavior in the article as the global block user Vrahomarinaner who vandalize systematically the article--Jjik43 (talk) 10:38, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    The above user Jjik43 is one of those who tried (with some registered and uregisistered "helpers") unsuccessfully to delete a related-to-Pireaus article from the Greek-language WP (see discussion here), and while they failed, they tried to erase the references to the city of Piraeus that existed inside the article (see this failed counter-attack against me at the Adm. Noticeboard of the el/WP). It is also very interesting the strange "coincidence" that the above user appeared here right after I filed this request against the acivities of IPs; I neither mentioned the user's account, nor in the EuroBasket 1987 article is recorded any activity from it [1]. Isn't it pretty obvious who might be hiding behind these IPs, and who is using the IPs in order to avoid the braking of the WP:3RR? (While checking the user's cotributions, we see that the account is almost inactive; just a few edits almost a month ago. But the user re-appeared only a few minutes after this request against the trolling IPs.) ——Chalk19 (talk) 11:10, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    The Chalk19 are related with ultralocalists who refuse to accept the reality and the official references and keep the official references in the articles i request the protect of the article and only edits by administrators--2A02:587:4401:687E:61DC:7757:B0B7:E31C (talk) 11:19, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Everybody knows that the Peace and Friendship Stadium is located in Piraeus, at the Neo Faliro Bay, as anyone knows that the Eiffel Tower is in Paris, and the Colloseum in Rome. Anyway, from those not familiar with Greek geography, this is the stadium address, from its official webpage [2]: "Εθνάρχου Μακαρίου 1, Πειραιάς [=Piraeus]- Νέο Φάληρο [=Neo Faliro] 18 547 Ελλάδα [=Grecce]". QED. ——Chalk19 (talk) 11:30, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected., I have no idea who is right there, but the IP(s) is/are changing addresses all the time, and the topic needs to be properly discussed at the talk page.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:17, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. I see mostly productive editing from anonymous accounts at this time. MelanieN (talk) 03:01, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Streetfog (talk) 15:42, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Harassment. Xiplus (talk) 23:54, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – I.P. Address (Unknown Editor) keeps adding CARELESS GIRL section in the article, which is most likely NONSENSE and UNRELATED to the topic.

    User(s) blocked. Mifter (talk) 04:24, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing – This very controversial article has become recently another hotbed since ECP expired recently. Requesting ECP reinstatement based on persistent disruptive editing w/o consensus, many reverts per day, and history of vandalism. Gwen Hope (talk) (contrib) 00:45, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    I'd just like to support this request too. The article is under constant attack from disruptive and POV editors. Some of it is possibly being coordinated off site. --DanielRigal (talk) 01:07, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Reason: Page protection is not necessary here because this is an ongoing lawsuit and one side is attempting to make fact of ongoing proceedings in a biased manner. This needs to be removed so that actual fact can be cited through court rulings. Barbeach23 (talk) 15:19, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    We don't cite court rulings here (gov't document). We would need to cite newspapers that report about those rulings. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:45, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    +1 Reason: There is no need to protect this page. Changes are being made to the page by one of the parties to the ongoing lawsuit that are advantageous and biased. These modifications need to be removed and that cannot be done while the page is protected. Barbeach23 (talk) 19:40, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Did you ask Lectonar, who just protected it today? I think a one-week protection is appropriate and you can discuss changes on the talk page. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:47, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.

    I wish to contest the following line in the article: "Cheatle also acknowledged that the Secret Service had rebuffed requests for additional resources for Trump's security detail in the two years leading up to the assassination attempt." First, this line has no footnotes to reference it's origin. Looking through the sites linked in the footnotes previous to this line and the line following it, nothing indicates the veracity of that statement. Instead, one can see lawmakers trying to infer this conclusion during her Congressional testimony regarding the attempted assassination of former President Trump, while she denies it. 2601:547:CA01:3C4E:8BC:6A39:2650:79D4 (talk) 09:27, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Done I have reworded those sentences to conform with the sources. Daniel Case (talk) 20:29, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a {{Pagelinks}} template and then the reason. It looks like this: Example (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) your request here. ~~~~
