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 | ||

Current requests for increase in 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.
Reason: Temporary pending changes: I found some IPs of type 62.74.24.215 or different ranges repeatedly messing up the article Raye changing from "British" to "English", as well as messing up categories without having left any summary of editions. 190.166.83.153 (talk) 23:30, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- Your own edits would be subject to PC. Are you OK with that? Daniel Case (talk) 03:55, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason: IP edit warring, simple IP temporary ban should suffice as information is being gathered for the page DeadlyRampage26 (talk) 04:14, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism after a day of page protection Thoriq1024 (talk) 04:15, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The article is within scope of WP:ARBECR, which states "this restriction is preferably enforced through extended confirmed protection". Most of the recent edits appear to be by IPs and socks. Sean.hoyland (talk) 04:38, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism. 114.4.212.181 (talk) 04:57, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Edit protection has just been lifted, vandalism and unconstructive editing is back immediately. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 05:13, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 09:51, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 07:00, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Balakashyap at Senthamangalam, Senthamangalam taluk and Sendamangalam (disambiguation). Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 07:09, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – That puppeteer with the nonsense user names is changing "sloth" to "lion" again, this time from IPs. I learned about Jefferson's natural history work in school, too, but I grew out of thinking that mistake was funny. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 08:16, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: 2804:389:e1b3:1cf8::/64 (talk · contribs) blocked by Bishonen.- Semi-protected for a period of 2 years, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. EC doesn't seem necessary. Favonian (talk) 09:42, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Previous high level of IP vandalism. There has been a concerted effort by nationalist editors to platform fringe views (in particular a primordialist view of the languages' origin). Currently one user is attempting to force these changes on the page and is refusing to discuss on the talk page as Wikipedia policy recommends. Metta79 (talk) 09:33, 13 October 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.
Reason: Back when this article was protected, it was a featured article. That was in 2011. Hopefully, protection is no longer necessary now that 13+ years have passed. 2600:382:12B4:E73D:591C:E954:CAFE:4867 (talk) 16:45, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. The edit request mechanism has been working fine. You can use Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard to guide you. When the talk page shows a history of accepted edit requests, we can consider removing protection. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:30, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Protection not needed 2603:8001:6FF0:850:366C:37B5:66DE:9C8A (talk) 06:16, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- Not unprotected. No valid reason given to unprotect. Get your account unblocked. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:25, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Protection no longer needed 2603:8001:6FF0:850:366C:37B5:66DE:9C8A (talk) 06:17, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- Not unprotected. As that talk page says, protection will no longer be needed when the block evasion stops occurring. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:27, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Protecting talk about this page hides the breadth and depth of concern that the page is doing harm to Wikipedia's reputation. It plays into the narrative that Wikipedia is being captured by activists with minority (not to say extreme) views and objevtives. Neverbeen~enwiki (talk) 08:54, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- 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 09:20, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
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.
I want to add a little information inside the template since houthi is already added on the Belligerents side i think we should add the casualties of the yemani also in the template same as egyptians or syrians especially those who died as resulted from isreali airstrike and according to those articles 20 July 2024 Israeli attack on Yemen and 29 September 2024 Israeli attacks on Yemen, the yemani casualties are 20 killed, and +147 injured 70.26.36.11 (talk) 03:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Not done. The request is vague, nonspecific, and cites zero sources. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:31, 13 October 2024 (UTC)- Anachronist have u even read my request? How it's vague and nonspecific. I want to add the yemani casualties resulted from isreali airstrike as it's part of the conflict and if you literally opened the 2 articles you will found all the sources you need.--70.26.36.11 (talk) 07:40, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- Those monitoring this request page are not involved with that article, and are not going to enter into debates or discussion. Requests made on this page must be complete and actionable. Your request is neither. You have not stated how you want anything changed. You have not made any specific request in the form "change X to Y" with proper wiki-markup and sources cited. Basically make your request as if you are editing the article yourself. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:48, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
In the second paragraph it states that "The desire to prevent the collapse of the Palestinians and to avoid more refugees were some of the reasons for the entry of the Arab League into the country, which began the 1948 Arab–Israeli War." It is absurd to characterize the invasion by the Arab league into Israel, which triggered the War of Independence as an "entry". The words "entry of" should be changed to "invasion by" which is supported by the source text and just about every other paper on the Israeli War of Independance. Apndrew (talk) 01:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
My suggestion is to leave out the following 2 sentences in the "German complicity" paragraph as they seem to be based on misunderstandings:
"She also highlighted police suppression of pro-Palestine protests throughout Germany[509] as evidence of state complicity.[508] Karen Wells et al. highlight how Germany has entrenched its complicity in Israel's actions by banning use of the word "genocide" in reference to Israel.[471][better source needed]"
1. In general violent protests are not allowed in Germany. As some of the first pro-Palestine protests were violent, they were sometimes forbidden by courts, if they were expected to turn violent. But that is common policy in Gemany with all subjects and not special for pro-Palestine protests.
Meanwhile, there even is a calendar concerning pro-Palestinian protests[1] with daily up to 20 protests all over Germany. Thus, there is no general police suppression of pro-Palestine protests as is suggested by the current wording.
2. The word “genocide” is not banned in reference to Israel in Germany - maybe that was a misunderstanding: What is not allowed in Germany is to call for genocide against Jews. The slogan “From the river to the sea” is seen as such call and banned. Gilbert04 (talk) 15:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I'm requesting to make some edits on Template:Country data Maldives. In the |link alias-air force=, You should change because it has a page now "MNDF Air Corps", Note: Do not add "Maldives Maldives Air Corps" because per https://mndf.gov.mv/mndf/en/org-structure.php?cmd=air-corps, the official name is "MNDF Air Corps", in that case you should change to link alias-air force = MNDF Air Corps. Also you should change link alias-marines = MNDF Marine Corps|Maldives Marine Corps to link alias-marines = MNDF Marine Corps because its official name is MNDF Marine Corps, not Maldives Marine Corps. And then link alias-coast guard = Maldivian Coast Guard should be changed to link alias-coast guard = MNDF Coast Guard, the same reason. Thanks. MAL MALDIVE (talk) 08:12, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- Not done. You didn't read the instructions. The template talk page is not protected, so any request should be made there. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:34, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
