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.

User(s) blocked: 2409:4042:4D00:0:0:0:0:0/40 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case . for a week; this is not the only article they've been creating problems on. I'd also look closely at VolgaDnper1488, who made exactly the same edit and then hasn't edited since (and has that very possible white-supremacist dogwhistle at the end of their username). Daniel Case (talk) 18:36, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason: For the past few months and years this page gets vandalized by IP address accounts and I just think this page deserves some protection for that. Whatcha gotta say? :) -ThaFDA (talk) 03:23, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. GoodnightmushTalk 14:47, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content and vandalism editing by User:42.153.130.67– IP keeps on changing the by changing silly things again and again without any source or reason resulting in edit warring.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Recent persistent vandalism (same edits) from similar IPs (IP hopping; continued today even after some ranges were blocked yesterday). Felida97 (talk) 12:53, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Side note: An even larger range, 2003:EE:9F00:0:0:0:0:0/42, was blocked today (after this request was made) but, to be safe, a bit of page protection would probably be a good idea, considering that the multiple previous range blocks (all of which were active when the edits today were made) didn't hinder them enough and the changes frequently include redirects, which obv have quite the drastic impact if the changes go unnoticed even for a short amount of time. Felida97 (talk) 15:55, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Protection needed since the city was recently renames, and users and IPs are making changes in violation of WP:COMMONNAME. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:24, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Page-move protection is also required. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Already move protected. Favonian (talk) 18:03, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Untamed1910 (talk) 13:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The capital city Port Blair was recently renamed, which caused IPs and even extended confirmed IDs, who are probably unaware of the WP:COMMONNAME policy to change the name violating the said policy - [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] -. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:50, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

More edits violating WP:COMMONNAME related to Port Blair name change [8] [9]. Pining @Favonian:. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:12, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Well-intentioned IP editors keep misinterpreting the articles about Peat's death and changing his DoD -- he died from his injuries two weeks after being struck by a car, which they interpret to mean "he died that day and the news broke two weeks later.". — GhostRiver 13:53, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 14:01, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason: This marks a significant moment in the history of the Bangladeshi people. It was the first step towards reclaiming control of their country from the hands of what they perceived as the authoritarian rule of Sheikh Hasina. The ‘India Out’ campaign was successful for these reasons, and now many are attempting to falsely claim credit and erase this history. Therefore, it is crucial to make this a semi-protected article to preserve its integrity. Syed Abu Shanjid Rafin (talk) 14:03, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

DeclinedPages are not protected preemptively. Elli (talk | contribs) 14:44, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Multiple IP6 addresses appear to be in an edit war where one has a list of the episodes for this TV series and then another IP address changes the article to a REDIRECT page. This has occurred numerous times. Since the timings are days apart, it might be helpful to protect it for a a couple weeks. Thoughts?. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 14:04, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs adding non-notable Tom Merriman to staff list. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 14:15, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. GoodnightmushTalk 14:48, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Wiki talk pages are not meant for legal/local campaigns. There's currently happening a lot of disruptive editing on the talk page from a bulk of IPs. ─ Aafī on Mobile (talk) 14:19, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MappilaKhrais. C F A 💬 14:46, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Looks like plenty of issues in the past, but any reason to protect right now? It's been quiet for a week and the SPI has resolved with blocks. GoodnightmushTalk 14:50, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Repeated addition of unsourced information. Proper sources are absent everytime (actually, there was no time when the article had a proper sourcing). Imperial[AFCND] 15:41, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Numerous unconstructive edits from IP users. SleepDeprivedGinger (talk) 16:44, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: May be used in a few pages, but one of the pages is semi-protected and highly visible, potentially putting the template at risk. George Ho (talk) 17:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC); edited, 17:05, 13 September 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.

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.


"On 1 April, seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen, including British, Polish, Australian, and Irish nationals, were killed in an Israeli airstrike south of Deir al-Balah" is incorrect and should be reworded as
"On 1 April, seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen, including a dual US-Canada national, a Palestinian, three British citizens, an Australian, and a Pole, were killed in an Israeli airstrike south of Deir al-Balah" as per [10], [11]. 148.75.59.49 (talk) 23:26, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

I suggest adding to 'War Crimes' a section about the Sde Teiman detention camp. The use of concentration/torture camps is a very notable war crime and an important fact as it pertains to the ceasefire negotiations regarding hostage swaps. It is also relevant as many have been taken from Gaza and are being tortured under pretext of "interrogation." Jdftba (talk) 08:36, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Account creator

[edit]

On Sept 21st I will be offering a training to beginner editors during the World Congress of Audiology in Paris We will introduce participants to Global Audiology.

Autopatrolled

[edit]

Been on Wikipedia for a few years now. Mainly created BLPs. Requesting for autopatrolled rights to reduce the backlog of new page patrollers. I declare that I've understood verifiability, notability and copyrights. SerChevalerie (talk) 21:21, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Created 407 articles, and only 2 were deleted—1 was soft deleted earlier in 2022, and the latest one was deleted per WP:A10, which is not a major issue. 99.5% or 405 of his articles are still live. I came across him while patrolling New Pages. I believe he is one of the users for whom this right was created. GrabUp - Talk 17:27, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Requesting autopatrolled rights to help with the backlog I create when making articles related to major sporting events mainly covering athletics but sometimes also cycling and swimming. The articles I create are/will be individual sports results pages connected to large sports events like the Olympics/Paralympics/Summer University games/World Championships etc. I've had no issues with the articles I have created and they are normally reviewed very quickly however when a competition can have 20-40 events meaning 20-40 pages this small amount of time to review could be saved if I had autopatrolled.

I would like access to AWB to fix CheckWiki issues more efficiently than I currently do using WPCleaner. I also want to streamline typo fixing as part of WP:TYPO. I understand I have been denied it twice in the recent past, but I strongly believe that I am fit for getting the permission now, as I gained significantly more experience and done more constructive edits.

Can i please have extended confirmed rights back. I lost it because one day when i had a little less than 500 edits, i made about 45-55 edits in one hour in order to get to 500 edits.

New page reviewer

[edit]

Good day. I previously requested this permission but was declined due to lack of editing time on this account (I worked on an IP previously but have no way to prove this). At the risk of appearing too eager for this permission, I am requesting it again as I now have lengthier editing experience. I have demonstrated experience in AfC, AfD, CSD, draftification, and article creation. I also maintain rollbacker and pending change permissions. I believe I can be help bring down the NPP backlog and have the experience and policy understanding that is necessary to do so accurately. Garsh (talk) 01:31, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. Thank you for volunteering, but in reviewing your editing history I wasn't able to find sufficient experience with the deletion process to feel comfortable granting you the permission at this point in time. I encourage you to spend some time at WP:AFD and make policy based votes to show that you're comfortable evaluating notability. Alternatively, you can still apply to help out at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:30, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

I want to be able to help out with the next backlog drive, and be able to get into the more maintennance-y tasks of Wikipedia. I have written 340+ articles, and I want to branch out and do something new for once (article creation does get boring after some time). I've participated in several AfDs (for some reason it only shows 6) and initiated multiple AfDs, have used AfC several times (which is also something I want to be able to help with) and have never been known to be uncivil to other editors (I am a host at the Teahouse as well). I also think I'm going to go through the NPP academy, to make sure I use these tools correctly and have more experience from other editors. :) Sir MemeGod :D (talk - contribs - created articles) 15:35, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

I have over 90,000 edits since 2008, over 5,000 pages created, clean log, no ANI reports or significant controversies etc. I was going to put a request at WP:RM/TR when I realised I am probably experienced enough to request and use page mover rights without the risk of making mistakes. I do not plan to close WP:RM, except if I stumble on them and they are really clear-cut cases, and would basically just use moving rights to make non-controversial moves. --Cavarrone 09:25, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I have a nine or so months of experience on Wikipedia now. If you check my editing history, you will also see my experience at fighting vandalism.

 Not done I noticed you started actively reverting vandalism a little over a week ago. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend more time gaining experience fighting vandalism before assigning you advanced permissions. Keep up the good work, and consider reapplying in a month. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits (I recommend using tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet which makes this extremely easy).
