Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| 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 | ||

Reason: Has a history of repeated sock edits on these pages, high level of ip vandalism ComparingQuantities (talk) 04:38, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
Question: Vandalism
how, ComparingQuantities? Please review WP:NOTVANDALISM before answering. I'm not sure how anyone is expected to follow what's happening here, in these three and various other pages. You mostly remove their contributions using automated edit summaries that explain little. Perhaps this is a matter better suited for WP:SPI. That said, if you exceed WP:3RR, you will need to note in the relevant edit summary the reasoning for why such an exemption applies, including a link or links to, well, anything. Thank you.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP users constantly adding unnecessary content. – 🏴 L1amw90 (🗣️ talk to me • ✍️ contribs) 04:35, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Nswix (talk) 04:42, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Nancy McKenzie
Reason: Temporary semi-protection: This article about a living person has seen a bunch of unsourced claims of her death coming from IPs in the past few hours. Egsan Bacon (talk) 05:10, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Pascal Praud
Reason: 4 different IPs intervene on the page, claiming to add content but instead mainly removing the 'far right' from the intro. Same vandalisms on the French:WP led to a semi-protection there too. AgisdeSparte (talk) 07:20, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Unusually high level of disruption by non-EC users over the last few days. — kashmīrī TALK 08:32, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Seems to be a huge edit warring mess the last 90+ edits (47 of which have been made after this protection request), seemingly started sometime after this edit and others by an
extended confirmed editor(edit: not EC either, not 30 days old). - Is this a contentious topic area? – 2804:F14:80D0:4F01:DC8C:3E45:EB65:B7BD (talk) 10:02, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Black Kite: Seems you handled this. – 2804:F14:80D0:4F01:DC8C:3E45:EB65:B7BD (talk) 10:38, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An IP-hopping LTA has been changing the total population figure perennially, and it's relatively hard to catch each time. Remsense诉 12:09, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
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.
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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.
