    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.

    Roman Palestine

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Several new-ish editors have disrupted this page in ways that demonstrate a host of CIR issue - most notably by moving the page to add the "(disambiguation)" while still leaving the base term directed towards it. The latest autoconfirmed but non-ECP editor appears to be denying that the topic exists, despite the presence of ample sources on page, including the Britannica entry of the same name, and seems to be attempting to achieve deletion by proxy via disambiguation/redirecting - hence the extended page protection request.

    Do you want protection for the article, or move protection? Daniel Case (talk) 19:16, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I thought they were the same restriction, so I hadn't thought that far. Both have been an issue, but the content issue is more key. I doubt the page moving will be attempted again, and it's easy to reverse, so that's a comparatively minor nuisance – I noted it more as an indication of the CIR nonsense that's at hand.

    Walt Disney Productions short films (1950–1959)

    Reason: Persistent unsourced date changes. Waxworker (talk) 22:48, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. One IP 3 times, before that 3 weeks without edits. Lectonar (talk) 07:59, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Chijioke Mbaoma

    Reason: high level vandalism Mirotita (talk) 01:36, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 08:00, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Crazy Town

    Reason: High level of IP edits making unsourced claims about the future of the band due to the recent death of the lead singer. Request page protection for one month until this blows over a bit. Damien Linnane (talk) 02:46, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Marvin Amparo Santana

    Semi-protected indefinitely. Elli (talk | contribs) 05:35, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Chaédria LaBouvier

    Reason: Multiple IP edits to this page have been made after a coordinated harassment campaign against the article subject on Twitter. I have recently reverted the changes and will be contributing further to the page's content and Talk page. For the moment I would like the article to be safe from malicious edits to allow me and others time to synthesize reliable sources. Lcdrovers (talk) 05:32, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    talk:Eminem

    Reason: Often receives non-constructive and spam edits from new users; including someone advertising their magic mushrooms. Roasted (talk) 06:03, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The threshold for protecting talk-pages is even higher than for articles; disruption isn't that great. Lectonar (talk) 07:22, 10 July 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 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.

    Yasuke

    Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because it violates the truth of Asian (specifically Japanese) history. Yasuke was never a samurai, several historians have concluded as much and, as such, the protection of fake-news should be removed and rectified, effective immediately....... . 2A02:A45F:6F21:0:9917:4DE2:9320:2880 (talk) 08:46, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined See Talk:Yasuke/Archive 3#RfC: Should the view that Yasuke was a samurai be added to the article. Lectonar (talk) 10:12, 10 July 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.
