Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    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.

    Ali al-Sistani

    Reason: vandalism, suckpuppetry, edit warring 91.152.225.81 (talk) 01:22, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Redbox

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – The article was previously semi-protected for a week on 19 November due to an IP editor who kept replacing a reliable secondary source with a website consisting of user-generated content. The IP range 92.40.212.0/23 had been blocked for several months, yet the person continued to disrupt the page using a multitude of other IP addresses, resulting in that semi-protection on 19 Nov. However, to this day, those exact same ol' disruptive edits keep happening, from numerous different IP addresses. Time for a longer page protection. — AP 499D25 (talk) 13:13, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The latest IP is a VPN, and I have reported it to WP:WPOP accordingly wizzito | say hello! 20:43, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Walter White (Breaking Bad)

    Reason: Numerous vandalism edits. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Request semi-confirmed protection due to persistent vandalism. Stadt64 (talk) 14:23, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Gunther :  Talk  14:41, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Khadaan

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism of the box office. Just 1 day of release and they are putting collections of thousands of crore in the box office. Requesting semi protection for 1-2 weeks.BhikhariInformer (talk) 15:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    CS Dinamo București (men's handball)

    Reason: Same issue as in first protection of the page and protection of multiple handball clubs: persistent vandalism about handball club transfers. Someone with multiple IP constantly adds hypothetical (or not confirmed yet) transfers (see ? on each item), by the way without giving the source of the rumour. Maybe those transfers will be confirmed in future, but Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and not a Crystal ball. + multiple insults: "Are you stupid?", "iar ai aparut ma prostule?" (meaning "You showed up again, you idiot?" in romanian), "mars ma" (x2) LeFnake (talk) 15:46, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    and again, Nu mai sterge bai prostule meaning according to google Stop wiping your ass, you idiot... LeFnake (talk) 18:33, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 22:50, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    National Donut Day

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – As mentioned in the previous request, an IP user keeps spamming the article. They've continued their behavior since my page protection request was declined yesterday. CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:48, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of concentration and internment camps

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The part of the article that keeps being deleted by an IP is related to WP:PIA. Since this is the same IP that keeps targetting it, maybe a semi protection will be enough. M.Bitton (talk) 19:49, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Or may be one can source this part of the article better. Ymblanter (talk) 22:47, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2014 Little League World Series

    Reason: Ongoing vandalism by an IP editor who changes the IP addresses being used to corrupt the article. Dmoore5556 (talk) 21:08, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    P. D. Ouspensky

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent WP:REFSPAM from IP-hopping user based in Argentina. Responded to reversions with threats last month. CurryTime7-24 (talk) 21:52, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Ymblanter (talk) 22:46, 21 December 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 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.

    January 2023 Speaker of the United States House of Representatives election

    Reason: Given McCarthy's ousting and subsequent retirement, October 2023 Speaker of the United States House of Representatives election currently being unprotected, and how long ago this election was, I don't see the need for this page to be protected anymore. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 23:16, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    A-League Men records and statistics

    Reason: Protection is too high and it was for sockpuppetry in 2018. It's nearly 2025 now so if it needs protecting just do pending changes or semi-protection but unprotection would be better I think. 147.10.234.99 (talk) 23:19, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Page has beenECP for over half a year now, due to edit warring. The warring is over 2601:601:447E:8B50:E97B:C008:175A:BA98 (talk) 05:16, 21 December 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.
