    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

    Monkey Business (Black Eyed Peas album) and Elephunk

    Reason: an IPsock of MariaJaydHicky keeps repeating the edits made by the countless sockpuppets that have targeted these pages in the past Blueberry72 (talk) 07:45, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 94.193.197.29 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for two weeks. Daniel Case (talk) 21:28, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Adding live scores which violates WP:LIVESCORES and I also believe it is WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Suggestion to protect the page until the tournament ends on June 30. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 • [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 14:25, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 21:18, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    National Party (Ireland, 2016)

    Temporary semi-protection: Some disruptive editing. Currently has full protection, requesting downgrade of protection to 'semi'. There was minor editing dispute, it certainly doesn't warrant full protection. Pinging El Cid. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 15:40, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Requests for reduction in the protection level should be made under WP:RFPU, just below this section. Daniel Case (talk) 21:01, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Al Horford

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. User:Namiba 17:50, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 20:59, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Floriano Peixoto

    Reason: Persistent IP vandalism. IP tries to add content without sources, deletes material without explanation, and ignores multiple user warnings. Auzandil (talk) 18:04, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Since no one's bothered to warn them on their talk page (edit summaries are not enough; not everyone's aware of them), I'm not surprised this continues. Daniel Case (talk) 20:58, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Daniel Case Sorry but I warned the user already. I gave him a warning before his last edit warring. After me, the user @Wiiformii warned the IP regarding the unexplained removals. Is there any possibility that you confused IPs?

    OK ... I had been looking at the other one on that /64, the one they used yesterday, where no warnings had been left. Still not sure whether to block them sitewide or just from the article as it seems like their contribs elsewhere have not been reverted. Daniel Case (talk) 21:36, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand. I personally believe a short-time IP lock for article would be a good idea. I'll watch the user's favorite articles and future contributions for possible vandalism. Auzandil (talk) 21:43, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    TJ Monterde

    Create protection: Repeatedly recreated. GPL93 (talk) 18:09, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Elli (talk | contribs) 18:17, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 Atlantic hurricane season

    Reason: Temporary full-protection request. Edit war ongoing from experienced (all EC) editors. Also a split consensus on AN/I - Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Editors removing formatted citations for bare URL citations. Full protection requested until AN/I is sorted out, solving the edit war/consensus/policy issue raised. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 18:14, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. That was pretty potent for an hour, and maybe some action yet needs to be taken, but the editors seem for now to have moved on. Daniel Case (talk) 20:54, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    All Eyes on Rafah

    Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Per WP:PIA and WP:CT/A-I Wiiformii (talk) 20:53, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Why don't we wait and see if it's kept first? The AfD is nearly over. Daniel Case (talk) 21:40, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Writers Against the War on Gaza

    Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Per WP:PIA and WP:CT/A-I Wiiformii (talk) 21:00, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism over the past 12 hours. livelikemusic talk! 00:36, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • 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 00:39, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    No activity for the last half day or so. Might be going stale. Samsara 19:50, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    This type of user should be blocked from wikipedia. . PerfectingNEI (talk) 10:53, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Looks like content dispute to me.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:02, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I seem to recall that a similar conflict about Dravidian and other linguistic/ethnic things came around a few months ago. Might be a new area for ECP. Hesitating to ping Sitush as he hasn't been active the last two days. Samsara 19:40, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Bobby soxer (music)

    Semi-protection: Every once in a while a new boss comes to town. This one wants remove almost all content wherever they see a cn tag. Also Leathercoated Minds. SlightSmile 17:46, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm inclined to side with Slightsmile here as the reason the IP is removing the content is not that he's disputing it, but rather, that he's opposed to it not having a source. To my mind, that's not a sound reason to remove (except on BLPs, which this isn't). Samsara 19:43, 20 April 2019 (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.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Wikipedia:Edit requests
    Shortcut

    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.
