Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    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.

    Committee for a Workers' International (2019)

    Extended confirmed protection for at least one month — Reason:- persistent COI editing by a member of the CWI who has less than 100 edits and asserts personal ownership of the article. See: " Like I said before it isn't your International and you have free to say anything you want about us but not on our personal page."[1] Wellington Bay (talk) 01:14, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Altalena Affair

    Extended Confirmed Protection

    Reason: Falls under WP:PIA. Ovioas,wo (talk) 02:08, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Done Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 15:01, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Steve Coleman

    Reason: Both my English and French wikipedia page is being vandalized, I believe by supporters of a woman that I am suing for defamation. This vandalism has occurred before, and I have removed the post before. But anonymous individuals continue to add libelous and intentionally incomplete accusations (that's why I am suing). My litigation is ongoing. I request that edits are blocked until further notice. Mbase1235 (talk) 11:40, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected by administrator Johnuniq. Nothing we can do about the article on the French Wikipedia, though. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 15:03, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Daniel Küblböck

    Reason: Constant editing to misgender a deceased trans woman. Also article should probably be renamed to Lana Kaiser since that is their new name. (Daniel is their dead name) Beanman93 (talk) 12:00, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: This appears to be a case where the subject was mostly well known under their deadname. I suggest opening a discussion on the talk page instead of edit warring. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 15:21, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    European Union–Ukraine Association Agreement

    Reason: Russia-Ukraine related article extend confirm Minecraft6532 (talk) 12:08, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Kabosu (dog)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. 3rd day I have seen this page with disruptive edits in the past week. Don't know why but hopefully 1-2 weeks will give them time to forget about it. (multiple IP's have disrupted, likely same editor)  【💬】 13:00, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – As soon as the previous protection ran out, the ip hopper is back again claiming some obscure person is married to Momoa. Knitsey (talk) 13:17, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected by administrator Jake Wartenberg. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 15:44, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Vote (X) for Change. Jdcomix (talk) 13:19, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 15:29, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    A pretty pointless action to take, in my view. VXFC posts on other ref desks besides the humanities one, and you can bet your bottom dollar he'll be back in a day or two. --Viennese Waltz 15:40, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Amir Kror Suri

    Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Persistent unsourced additions, mostly by user accounts/IPs of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Aimal12345. HistoryofIran (talk) 13:33, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. ECP might be needed if further puppets show up. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 15:41, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Sant Singh Maskeen

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Anon has been persistently removing content, which seems to be a case of WP:IDONTLIKE. They were warned earlier by Daniel Case and I’ve issued two warnings today as well. However, they keep returning with different IP addresses. It might be a good idea to consider semi-protecting the article to prevent further disruptions. Thank you. GSS 💬 13:39, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Naked Lunch

    Reason: Edit warring: IP editor(s) keep adding an uncited assertion about the title, despite many editors removing it, several Twinkle warnings, and unsuccessful attempts to start a Talk Page discussion. Ghosts of Europa (talk) 15:31, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Mr. Bachchan

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Atleast 2 days of temporary semi protection as IPs are found to be adding unsourced reviews or opinions, reason maybe film is being premiered one day before release date which is today.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the 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.

    Example Article Name

    Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because there are errors. He was never a Command Sergeant Major. His max rank was Master Sergeant. ....... . Jhbuck (talk) 14:28, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Page not specified. Lectonar (talk) 14:30, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
    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.
