Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
 | This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
| 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.
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here | ||

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing by an IP user, whose keep restoring his edits when reverted. PJ Santos (talk) 05:58, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – IP changing signatures, not contributing to article, harassing paid editor. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/73.211.173.173. Diff Special:Diff/1244740877. ⸺(Random)staplers 06:42, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- More diffs now. Still changing IPs. Maybe the article would be better served under PCP, given the presence of a paid editor.⸺(Random)staplers 17:45, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism since last semi expired. MaterialsPsych (talk) 07:19, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Requesting bluelocking. The article is still subject to continued WP:BLP violations, sockpuppetry, and edit-warring. The sockmaster has been trying to add 12,000 bytes of defamatory material for the past two weeks, most recently, with his brand-new Ymberlen account.[1] I removed the text from the article per WP:BLPRS because I think it beats WP:3RR. See Special:Diff/1244038066 if you are interested in the details. @User:Daniel Case. Thank you. 31.30.111.66 (talk) 08:24, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: Ymberlen (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. indef as NOTHERE. Daniel Case (talk) 18:54, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: IPs disruptive editing. Thewikizoomer (talk) 09:42, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- IPs observed to be adding unsourced content repeatedly and disturbing certain templates. Thewikizoomer (talk) 09:43, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Template is in the WP:ARBPIA CTOP area. TarnishedPathtalk 10:18, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Vandalism by Indonesian trolls like User:Bagusekaf07 and IP. Would like longer protection period than one week. 3skandar (talk) 10:18, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Semi protection. A large number of edits are repeatedly reverting IP's who change the spelling of "alfa" to "alpha", despite the plain text being "al<--do not change-->f<--do not change-->a." — kwami (talk) 11:09, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism still occurs after the protection expired, maybe indef protection?. Myrealnamm's Alternate Account (talk) 12:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Protection requested to prevent disruptive editing, unexplained content removal, addition of unreferenced material, and general attempts to change the nature of this article completely.
The users who were originally involved in this article have been blocked, and IP editors (possibly same individuals, or meat puppets of theirs) are now joining in. Basically, the aim is to whitewash this individual by making bad stuff vanish and good stuff magically appear. Semi-protection should put a stop to that?
For a background on this, see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stefano Černetić / Talk:Stefano Černetić / Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bajsikus/Archive.
If indef isn't justified, please apply whatever temporary duration seems reasonable, thanks. DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:22, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Pending changes: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 13:43, 9 September 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.
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.
"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 [2], [3]. 148.75.59.49 (talk) 23:26, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
I would like to request that... (date of death is updated to 30/11/2024) . Jamesington (talk) 23:58, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
Comment: For which one? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 02:34, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Jamesington Presumably you mean Sophie Anderson (actress) as that is protected, and 30/11/2023 not 30/11/2024. Do you have a source? TSventon (talk) 21:43, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Not done – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Sophie Anderson (actress) is not protected. A reliable source for the information is required. Favonian (talk) 16:58, 9 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)
