Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wikipedia:Rfp)
    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: High level of IP vandalism, an IP (not me, but a different IP) keeps removing the Nationality (British-Italian) from the Lede. In fact it's becoming very persistent, I suggest a a temporary protection for this page. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 01:13, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    If we protect the page you won't be able to edit it either. Are you OK with that? Daniel Case (talk) 04:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    On second thought, is it possible to make the protection a pending changes protection? 70.50.199.125 (talk) 07:47, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The White lock with the checkmark on it. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 07:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Pending-changes protected indefinitely. Will also log at CTOPS. That will work. Daniel Case (talk) 18:27, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Kundali Bhagya

    Indefinite Extended semi-protection: IP users are doing several unconstructive edits from the time it got unprotected. Please semi-protect it for indefinite time with Extended confirmed users and administrators access for edits.

    Bombay Stock Exchange

    Reason: Permanent Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Removing all sourced content without having any discussion on talk page. Previously also this IP used to vandalize this stock exchange pages. Tcspower (talk) 06:16, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User talk:Gerda Arendt/2011

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Latest target of abuse from globally banned pest WP:LTA/GRP. User is known to post threats and abusive rants on the talk page archives of the users he considers to be his "enemies". (For example, see Special:PageHistory/User talk:JavaHurricane/Archive 5.) Additionally, there is no need for anons to touch talk page archives anyways. JavaHurricane 08:03, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Continued WP:ARBPIA vandalism Hypnôs (talk) 08:57, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:International military intervention against the Islamic State infobox

    Reason: Permanent semi-protection. Contentious topic (WP:CT/KURD). Multiple unregistered users vandalizing the casualties. Just noticed a vandalism from 2018 that went unnoticed for nearly six years. The edit exponentially increased US casualties from 6 to 71, and the page remained that way since 2018. Diff [1].

    Susan Hall

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Current election, IP address continues to add results to the lead when no such results have been declared yet. Similar disruption likely for a while. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him☎️) 14:21, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Francis Leo Marcos

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism to unduly promote the subject's philanthropism and supposed net worth. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 14:58, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Peter Sotos

    Reason: The article keeps being reverted to an inferior version of the article by the same person with their reasoning being NPOV, despite everything mentioned in the article being accurate and properly sourced. I do give benefit of the doubt that they mean well, but it is starting to become an editing war, and given the article's subject is a controversial figure, people will most likely have strong opinions about him one way or the other. I'm suggesting that the page become semi-protected due to the controversial nature of the subject and due to continuous reverted edits. CarterLennon (talk) 15:17, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings

    List of pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses in 2024

    Reason: Israel-Hamas conflict, current Politics, etc. originally split off from 2024_pro-Palestinian_protests_on_university_campuses, so should inherit same protection 2600:6C5A:587F:4532:40CE:20FA:16D9:FC05 (talk) 19:46, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: High, persistent and ongoing IP vandalism SchroCat (talk) 19:51, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I am NOT vandalizing the page. The article is being edited by numerous WP:UPE sockpuppets. I have literally tried clarifying with you on your talk page. 114.18.93.166 (talk) 19:54, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You are removing material cited to reliable sources. You’re a vandal, nothing more, nothing less. The page needs protecting from your disruption. - SchroCat (talk) 20:03, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the 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

    Request a specific edit 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.
