    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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1157#IP_editor_adds_unsourced_content_to_JP_writing_system_articles. Nickps (talk) 12:15, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 2409:4040::/32 (talk · contribs). That should be the full range, so no need for protection here. Elli (talk | contribs) 16:44, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    World Straight Pool Championship

    Reason: Same edit warring IP-hopping sock that lead to the previous page protection retuned making the same junk edits. Reverted again, but based on past persistence I doubt that the problematic editor will just leave it alone. oknazevad (talk) 14:27, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 15:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Almondbury Community School bullying incident

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – "Tommy Robinson" is in the news currently and his acolytes are adding untruths to this page. I predict this will be for a short while, but an ounce of prevention is better than cure. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:38, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Don't see any need for ECP at this point. Elli (talk | contribs) 16:41, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Kiss members

    Reason: On-and-off disruptive IP editing, in which they are adding in "Kee Marcello" into the timeline, who was never a member of the band. HorrorLover555 (talk) 13:21, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of flags of North Macedonia

    Reason: High level of disruptive editing by a newly registered WP:SPA and several IPs. Jingiby (talk) 18:07, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Kim Il Sung

    Reason: Disruptive editing by anonymous and new users, particularly pertaining to violations of MOS:IMAGEQUALITY. To put it bluntly, in the past week a number of anonymous and new users have been ignoring the edit note in the article infobox and replacing a photograph of North Korea's first leader with a propaganda portrait produced by the North Korean government. I recommend a very brief period of semi-protection of ≤7 days to discourage the resumption of this disruptive editing (this has happened before, but not consistently following a consensus on the talk page).

    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.

    Reason: this protection is no longer necceary because some people who want to add new information instead of vandalism I think issueing community guidlines is a better choise convincing people to agree with community however of somoeone violetated the community guidlines wikipedia can get it permantly or temporay ban the acount depending on the vandilism thanks for allowing us to add a feedback Kawa qaraxi (talk) 18:13, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not done. The page is not protected. However, as a new editor, you will not be able to create it until you are autoconfirmed. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:22, 28 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

    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.

    Brianna Wu

    In "Early life and education", the article says "In 2003 she enrolled at the University of Mississippi". The source for that paragraph as archived (https://archive.ph/ek0sE) states that she "dropped out for good in 2001".

    I suggest changing "In 2003 she enrolled..." to something like "She enrolled at the University of Mississippi, studying journalism and political science and writing for The Daily Mississippian, but left the school in 2001." Or of course, add a source for her enrolling in 2003. Elizabeth Internet (talk) 06:56, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:McGriddles

    To add a section with the template {{edit protected}}: To add "Hong Kong since 27 July 2024" to the first paragraph of the article, based on the following sources: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. 119.237.212.104 (talk) 14:53, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Help:Introduction to editing with VisualEditor/4

    This page guides the user on how to Publish Changes, how to Mark Editing as Minor, and how to add the page to a user's Watchlist. The screenshot on this page (shown below), does not show options for marking the edits as minor or adding the page to a Watchlist, as the screentshot might be an older version of the "Save your changes" dialog box.

    I request you to update the screenshot to show the current version of the "Save your changes" dialog box. A version of that screenshot can be found here, however, that screenshot uses a red rectangle to focus on marking your edits as minor.

    A few final thoughts: 

    - Both this page and its Talk or Discussion page are protected for my user account. Thus, submitting the request here.
- If I can be given adequate permissions, I can create the updated screenshot and update the page.  
- This tutorial page is fantastic. Thank you for making it.
- The page is classified as "High-Importance" mostly because it is the first Help article a new user sees when they click on their username. WordLunch (talk) 15:12, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
