Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level[edit]

Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Bahmani invasion of Orissa[edit]

Reason: There is persistent edit warring over the page right now with me and another user. -- While looking for other suitable things to do beside edit war over the page now I'm trying to look at other options I should've done from the start -- such as RFPP. Seeking to have page protected until this can conclude. Noorullah (talk) 02:58, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Note: Not gonna give a straight no here, but will advice you two to seek a third opinion, and that page protection is not necessary or now. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 12:44, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Abraham Temple, Death of Yazan al-Kafarneh, Rajieen (song), All Eyes on Rafah, Qatar and the Israel–Hamas war and Siege of Al-Qarara[edit]

ECP they're obvious.197.2.26.194 (talk) 09:18, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Protected only four of the aforementioned articles, focusing on those which saw disruptive edits by non-EC accounts. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 20:54, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Wolf salute[edit]

Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Contentious topic restriction. the Balkans or Eastern Europe Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 11:34, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. As with every other recent request on this one. Daniel Case (talk) 21:19, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Duangjai Devaprom[edit]

Reason: Has a history of many disruption from new accounts or IP users and editing the page with the wrong informations and spelling. Kkangsonp (talk) 17:55, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Only one revert in the last couple of months. Daniel Case (talk) 21:43, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

J. D. Vance[edit]

Reason: Extended confirmed protect it, per general sanctions of U. S. politics past 1992, because he is Trump’s running mate. Semi protection isn’t enough. 24.115.255.37 (talk) 19:19, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

 Comment: I'm sure the article will eventually need to be ECP in the future, as we close in the election, but I don't see the need right now. Since I initially semi-protected it, I'll let another administrator respond to this request. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 20:45, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Katherine Delmar Burke School[edit]

Reason: Disruptive editing. I am WP:INVOLVED. Also, I can't keep reverting without violating WP:3RR. This article has an unfortunate history of IPs from San Francisco taking direct and indirect digs at the school. At the same time, some of the edits are okay. Bbb23 (talk) 22:42, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

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.

Medhi Benatia[edit]

Reason: Page was given indefinite pending changes in July 2016 due to transfer gossip. This is no longer relevant as the player is retired since 2021. The last 50 edits including bots go back to November 2022, so there is not a storm of edits, nor any particularly vandalising edits. Protecting admin left in 2018. Unknown Temptation (talk) 12:05, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Unprotected Daniel Case (talk) 22:19, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Jorge Martínez (footballer, born April 1983)[edit]

Reason: Page was given indefinite semi as a first resort in May 2011 - rather bizarrely, as you look at the edit history and nothing at all was going on then. The subject was obscure then and is even more obscure now seven years into retirement. Protecting admin has one edit in last year. Unknown Temptation (talk) 12:13, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

The summary for the protection (which was inherited from the page's original title) says "go to semi per arb injunction" - the implication being this article was involved in an Arbitration case around that timeframe. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:14, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]

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.


Attempted assassination of Donald Trump[edit]

User:Bugnawfang[edit]

Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights

Hi. I'm Bugnawfang. Lately, I have been editing on articles about some places in the Philippines. Recently, however, the Negros Island Region was created again after a law was signed by the president of the Philippines. Hence, there are 19 cities and 44 municipalities' pages that still have the old "Central Visayas (Region VII)" and "Western Visayas (Region VI)" region template tags. I am aware that my edits do not meet the threshold, but I do want to update these pages, and making edits one-by-one on these pages is tedious on its own. With this, I may request for the permission to use AWB to add the "Negros Island Region" template on these pages. Bugnawfang (talk) 13:33, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Good day. I am requesting to be granted the New Page Reviewer permission to assist with the growing new page backlog. I have created 8 new articles (although one was a complete rewrite that I then pushed through AfC) and meet the edit and age requirements for this permission. I also have demonstrated experience in the AfC process in both articles and redirects and have some experience in deletion related areas. I maintain rollback and pending change permissions, both of which I use regularly. I believe I can (and will) be of assistance in reducing the NPP backlog, if given the opportunity. Thank you.

User:KingSkyLord[edit]

I have been editing for over 7 years and I plan on using this permission in order to help with discussions on WP:RM and deal with cross-redirects for articles that should have more disambiguated titles. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 12:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

User:Ae245[edit]

This user right will be super useful to me for moving unsuitable articles to draft space (eliminating the need to tag the resulting redirect with R2), dealing with articles created by new users in the wrong namespace (that I come across a lot as a vandalism patroller), and performing a round-robin move on two pages (that I try to fix occasionally when an editor copy-pastes an article). I've familiarized myself with the guidelines for moving and the article title policy. Ae245 (talk) 08:05, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

(Non-admin comment) @Ae245: If you use User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft, it will automatically tag the redirect for deletion, along with other things like notifying the creator of the article per WP:DRAFTIFY and warning you when the article was last edited in the past hour, such that it shouldn't be draftified yet per WP:NPPHOUR/WP:DRAFTNO.

Requests for rollback

Rollback[edit]

User:Rkieferbaum[edit]

Hi there! Requesting rollback rights to be able to use different tools for reverting vandalism. I'm open to any questions or feedback on my editing and counter-vandalism actions. Cheers. Rkieferbaum (talk) 11:34, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 06:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: hi there. It's true that I seldom warn IP users that don't edit on a regular basis. I just feel like no one is going to see that warning and it might be confusing for other users from that IP. This might be a mistake on my part and I'll gladly fix it. You'll see that, with registered users, I've warned them 100% of the time or very close to that. Thanks for your time. Rkieferbaum (talk) 10:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? -Fastily 10:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: of course, it's a promise. I do agree that welcoming newcomers is among the most important things we do here. Thanks. Rkieferbaum (talk) 11:29, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Great, thanks for confirming. Could you please now go some RC patrol in which you demonstrate how you will be notifying all users? -Fastily 03:17, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: sure! I've been at it for a few minutes. I'll leave a warning each and every time from now on, IP or otherwise. Cheers and thanks for your input. Rkieferbaum (talk) 00:37, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

User:MP1999[edit]

Hi! I've been fighting vandalism for a while now and would like to use some other tools, like WP:HUGGLE to do so more efficiently. I've grown to have a good understanding of how to fight vandalism, including WP:RPPI and WP:AIV. Thanks for considering and have a great rest of your day! MP1999 ❯❯❯ Talk 16:38, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I noticed you make a handful of edits, and then drop off for weeks/months at a time. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month consistently patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are always warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 10:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

    I am at about 70,000 edits aross all Wiki projects.

    I, Solipsist, hereby award you this Barnstar of Diligence for you extraordinary patience, over many years, in handling perennial Corn vs. Maize debates.

    "Do you want to take a survey?"[edit]

    On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.

    On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.

    Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.

    Short To Do list[edit]

    Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers[edit]

    Up to Dec 16, 2003, all the edits at these anonymous id's were mine (59 edits):

    More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.
