    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.

    Shivaji

    Reason: Disruptive editing on the title of Shivaji, without discussing it on the talk page. Frequent edit warring and suspecting meatpuppetry. Imperial[AFCND] 10:44, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The article has been under indefinite semi-protection for about five years now. It does not appear to me that going to ECP would make much of a difference as many contributors already have that user right. The only thing I could imagine doing that could force more talk page discussion would be imposing 1RR. Would you be amenable to that? (I have put a long-overdue CTOPS notice on the talk page). Daniel Case (talk) 20:33, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't have a strong opinion, but looking at edits from the last 2 weeks, 3 out of 8 users involved in the dispute over titles are not EC so ECP probably would improve the situation over the long run. I suspect that even if EC editors reach consensus, the title dispute will continue. Perhaps full protection for a week or two followed by indefinite ECP?

    Soad Hosny

    Reason: Persistent disruptive editings and removal of sources by many "new" accounts and IPs. Not a single edit by that recent attack on the page is with sources, they appear to be teamed up. Fragrant Peony (talk) 22:10, 27 April 2024 (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 22:13, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 11:36, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History

    Indefinite create protection: Offensive name – Chris Chan is banned. Okmrman (talk) 22:52, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. -- Euryalus (talk) 22:57, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    ok but can the draft be deleted Okmrman (talk) 22:59, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    G13 requires that the page hasn't been edited by a human in >6 months. It will potentially be eligible in mid-May. -- Euryalus (talk) 23:06, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Euryalus But afaict now it has been recently edited by humans. I'll try xfd. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:52, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Gråbergs Gråa Sång: the nomination for speedy deletion doesn't reset the clock for a G13, which is still ticking from when the draft was last edited by its creator back in November 2023. It's clearly going nowhere as an article so no objection to an Xfd, but imho because speedy deletion is single-determiner the criteria are quite strict for good reason. :) -- Euryalus (talk) 08:24, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, didn't now that. I looked at PROD, but no. The Xfd [1] will be mostly harmless. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:31, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It will indeed. Deleted already per IAR. -- Euryalus (talk) 08:59, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Disney live-action adaptations and remakes of Disney animated films

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent addition of unreliable sources to justify content that has been repeatedly removed. Probably needs to be longer protection. Trailblazer101 (talk) 23:25, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 11:43, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Taylor Swift

    Reason: Why isn't this page ECP? I think it should be ECP because it is prone to edit warring from Autoconfirmed accounts, and it is a high traffic article 125.160.114.232 (talk) 23:47, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Matty Healy

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism since subject of page has been dominating headlines. Maxen Embry (talk) 23:50, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 years, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 11:38, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Criticism of Amnesty International

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:A/I/PIA. nableezy - 00:16, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi, Nableezy Deletes every time the paragraph that Amnesty claimed that Israel imprisoned a Palestinian writer while he was a terrorist who murdered and kidnapped an Israeli soldier. He supports violence according to his profile so he doesn't want (or can) understand why this is a problem. 84.110.218.178 (talk) 08:23, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Let's not forget - this is a page about *criticism of Amnesty*, and the paragraph is about Israel. So why he deleted it? 84.110.218.178 (talk) 08:29, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not done for now. This is too heavy handed to invoke WP:PIA WP:ECR, even for related content protection with an expiration. Last PIA edit was Nov 2023, and seeing as this IP editor has now been told about the WP:XC tenure requirement for that WP:CTOP area, that incident is probably done. If this page experiences another PIA-related issue by a non-tenured user in 2024, feel free to relist. El_C 11:33, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content. Waxworker (talk) 01:45, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. El_C 11:33, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Ratcliff (producer)

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – BS legal threats and continued posturing from an IP account (presumably the subject of this AFD). Bgsu98 (Talk) 04:03, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. El_C 11:46, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Lance Stroll

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – persistent anonymous vandalism from multiple IP address ranges. Wikishovel (talk) 04:56, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Orania

    Reason: Large number of IP’s and new accounts making drive-by edits against consensus BilledMammal (talk) 06:29, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Shiju Abdul Rasheed

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism. 59.99.98.58 (talk) 06:33, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. El_C 11:45, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CaseOh

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP/new editor disruption in April on this closed afd. Greylock might be a good idea. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:47, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indefinitely. El_C 11:40, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Southeast Asia

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent vandalism – For a month now, there's been a persistent IP-hopping vandal adding random countries that are not in the region to this article. They almost always leave an edit summary that says "Sounds". Bennv123 (talk) 11:18, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Draft:Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (soundtrack)

    Reason: It was protected for none reason, I wanted to submit the draft because it seems that it is ready to be an article, but it was protected "indefinitely" and I don't have an account on Wikipedia. 190.21.184.81 (talk) 08:24, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not unprotected – It was protected for a reason: a long string of disruptive edits from IPs geolocating to Santiago de Chile, just like yours. Favonian (talk) 08:58, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I didn't "vandalise" Wikipedia, I only added information, but another users disagreed with what I added. 190.21.184.81 (talk) 10:18, 28 April 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.
