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.

Bahmani invasion of Orissa
Reason: There is persistent edit warring over the page right now with me and another user. -- While looking for other suitable things to do beside edit war over the page now I'm trying to look at other options I should've done from the start -- such as RFPP. Seeking to have page protected until this can conclude. Noorullah (talk) 02:58, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Note: Not gonna give a straight no here, but will advice you two to seek a third opinion, and that page protection is not necessary or now. Isabelle Belato 🏳🌈 12:44, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Contentious topic restriction. the Balkans or Eastern Europe Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 11:34, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Álvaro Morata
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Very intense transfer rumors right now, source Fabrizio Romano. Vandalism already happened and will come some more with rumors that he is going to AC Milan. The deal will probably happen. Protect for one week at least. Paul Vaurie (talk) 13:41, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Declined. While there has been some unsourced content added, anonymous users are mostly improving the article it seems. Isabelle Belato 🏳🌈 14:53, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

- Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Isabelle Belato 🏳🌈 15:02, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Aam Aadmi Party
Reason: Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Persistent addition of unsourced materials and/or not providing reliable sources for the political party's Ideology and Political position. Very high level of vandalism. Tcspower (talk) 14:56, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Isabelle Belato 🏳🌈 15:07, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

2024 Republican National Convention
Semi-Protection or Pending changes: Reason: Speculation by IPs about who is going to be a possible Trump VP pick and the addition of non-cited work by IPs is a problem. Qutlooker (talk) 15:51, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Kyle A. Carrozza
Temporary semi-protection: Seeking to curb violations of WP:BLP and the possibility of high-level IP vandalism, considering the subject's recent charges and the inevitability of edit wars. MannysMyName (talk) 17:01, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Cody Ko
Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Accusations have been raised against Cody Ko, and uncited additions have already been made that violate WP:BLP. Cerebral726 (talk) 17:04, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Needs bump up in protection level to keep out sockpuppets. Skywatcher68 (talk) 17:15, 15 July 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.
Medhi Benatia
Reason: Page was given indefinite pending changes in July 2016 due to transfer gossip. This is no longer relevant as the player is retired since 2021. The last 50 edits including bots go back to November 2022, so there is not a storm of edits, nor any particularly vandalising edits. Protecting admin left in 2018. Unknown Temptation (talk) 12:05, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Jorge Martínez (footballer, born April 1983)
Reason: Page was given indefinite semi as a first resort in May 2011 - rather bizarrely, as you look at the edit history and nothing at all was going on then. The subject was obscure then and is even more obscure now seven years into retirement. Protecting admin has one edit in last year. Unknown Temptation (talk) 12:13, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- The summary for the protection (which was inherited from the page's original title) says "go to semi per arb injunction" - the implication being this article was involved in an Arbitration case around that timeframe. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:14, 15 July 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.
