    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

    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Mumbai Indians

    Semi-protection: There has been a lot of disruptive edits and vandalism on the page, consistently in the past week. Page protection is needed to ensure such edits do not happen. 2405:204:2181:D0CF:9144:2E1E:FF32:B575 (talk) 06:48, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: The ip said everything was a personal attack and removed most of the sources . Jack90s15 (talk) 22:32, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Off topic. Take this to Talk:Gavin Menzies.

    No, user Jack90s15 is lying. The whole article of Gavin Menzies is filled with personal attacks and non-neutral vitriol against Gavin Menzies. This is in direct violation of Wikipedia official policy on biographies of living persons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1011:B004:1D90:7C9B:B7CC:547C:B8D8 (talk) 22:44, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    The Ip is removing citations that show that his work as been debunked and is POV pushingJack90s15 (talk) 22:48, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    like this, On 21 July 2004, the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) broadcast a two-hour-long documentary debunking all of Menzies's major claims, featuring professional Chinese historians.[1] In 2004, historian Robert Finlay severely criticized Menzies in the Journal of World History for his "reckless manner of dealing with evidence" that led him to propose hypotheses "without a shred of proof".[2] Finlay wrote:

    [National University of Singapore]], acknowledges that there was a cross exchange of technological ideas between Europe and China, but ultimately classifies Menzies' book as historical fiction and asserts that there is "absolutely no Chinese evidence" for a maritime venture to Italy in 1434.[3] Jack90s15 (talk) 22:51, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Can we please get some protection on Gavin Menzies. The IP has made eight reversions in the last hour, and this is getting very tedious. BabelStone (talk) 23:17, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    AT&T

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Multiple reverts to an infobox image change between an IP and three editors. Steven (Editor) (talk) 00:17, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Amanda Howard

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism via unsourced/unverified edits. A temporary block is unlikely to be effective (as the issue regularly stems from various IP editors whose only "contributions" are to this article). Thanks. JabberJaw (talk) 01:03, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. 4TheWynne (talk • contributions) 01:43, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A lot of IP disruptive editing. With the games starting it will only likely get more frequent. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:20, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Scott Cawthon

    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.

    2010 Atlantic hurricane season

    Reason: The extended confirmed protection is no longer necessary because the autoconfirmed vandalism-only account that vandalized the page in October 2022 probably won't come back to this article. I would suggest reducing it to semi-protection or unprotecting the page entirely. 24.115.255.37 (talk) 21:09, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Whoops, I did not discuss with the protecting admin first. I did not see that note until after submitting this. 24.115.255.37 (talk) 21:10, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Klay Thompson

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – It has been reported by anonymous sources that Klay Thompson is signing a contract with the Dallas Mavericks. Because of this, many editors have been changing the article to say that Thompson is a member of the Dallas Mavericks. Adding pending changes to this article will allow these unsourced edits to be reviewed and controlled. BullDawg2021 (talk) 01:56, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – pending changes has no effect when an article is already semi-protected, as this one is. The next escalation would be extended-confirmed protection, so you could try requesting that if the disruption becomes unmanageable. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:37, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.
