Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected

    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.

    Slash (musician)

    Reason: Continued sockpuppetry. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TyMega. HorrorLover555 (talk) 06:57, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 17:48, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks! — Chrisahn (talk) 19:23, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Miss Grand International 2025

    Reason: There has been an increasing influx of vandalism from unregistered users. I request the implementation of semi-protection for this page. ItsFeL (talk) 15:19, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The Arab Dream

    Reason: Repeated IP edit warring and parts of the article falling under WP:ARBPIA. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 15:53, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Nintendo Switch 2

    Reason: High traffic and common amounts of IP vandalism. SleepDeprivedGinger (talk) 16:00, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Daaku Maharaaj

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism and new account User_talk:Adarsh_Chinnadan making same disruptive changes of boxoffice number without citing reliable source. Please protect page. IPs and new account have been warned but continue to vandalize again. Please protect page. RangersRus (talk) 17:07, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Continuous style-warring and attempts to remove the most-common definition of the Droop quota by an unregistered editor. (Who has kept this up from many different IPs.) IP has repeatedly ignored attempts at explaining this on both the article talk and in a conversation I had with them on my user talk. (The Droop quota is sometimes defined v⁄k+1 and sometimes v+1⁄k+1; user keeps removing or obfuscating the first definition.) Update: unsurprisingly, despite previous decline of page protection because the user hadn't edited for a week or two, they've gone right back to it within 2 days, as they have for the past year—Special:Diff/1269731590.– Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 17:18, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pongal (festival)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Some IPs are repeatedly removing sourced content from the lead section, along with reliable sources. Aryan{Talk} 17:19, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kajari

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism. A user is persistently removing all the refs and added informations about kajri. Aman8188 (talk) 17:53, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Requesting immediate archiving... — rsjaffe 🗣️ 20:28, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Metal Slug Tactics

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Persistent unsourced additions by IP addresses since 13:37, 12 December 2024. Alith Anar 18:16, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    StudioCanal

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – IP hopper from Russia keeps adding unsourced information about Sony making a deal with StudioCanal. FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 19:04, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 20:30, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Monsterverse

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Editor posing under multiple IP's keeps restoring same disruptive edits. Armegon (talk) 19:05, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Killing of Wong Chik Yeok

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – persistent edit warring in the last few days by a new user. Insanityclown1 (talk) 19:55, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 19:58, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Nikki Glaser

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 20:01, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Burning River Buckets

    Reason: Article has been the subject of extensive edits by a user claiming to be the owner (now extending back over a considerable period in time). These edits are frequently having to be reverted. A user similarly self-identifying as the owner was blocked for 3 years back in April 2024, here [1]. Issue is currently back at COIN, here [2]. Maybe time for some form of page protection to prevent further sock puppetry / block evasion. Axad12 (talk) 20:09, 16 January 2025 (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 on 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.

    Aaron Carter

    Reason: The page was protected due to BLP, and is still protected for that reason despite Carter dying in 2022. If the page is to stay protected, the protection reason should be changed. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 16:03, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined as you have not discussed with the protecting administrator. As it says at the top of the page when you edit, this section is for removing or reducing the protection level of a page if the protecting admin is inactive or you have already asked them. Please stop posting requests like this when the administrator is active and you have not asked them first. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:16, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I have had dozens upon dozens of requests approved without the need to ask the protecting administrator. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 17:57, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Please follow the directions moving forward; the requirement to do so is highlighted in bright yellow both at the top of this page and at the top of the instructions in the editing window.-- Ponyobons mots 18:37, 16 January 2025 (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.

    Gaza genocide

    Add “by June 30, 2024” to the sentence: The Lancet has estimated 70,000 deaths due to traumatic injuries.[8] Seahumidity (talk) 23:09, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Joe Biden

    In paragraph 4 is this assertion: "In private, White House staffers and Biden's family took measures to conceal and compensate for apparent declines in his acuity." There is no source cited for this consequential claim. The "apparent decline" of mental acuity in Biden, a lifetime stutterer, is a topic of contention.
