Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wikipedia:Rfp)
    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

    Cushitic-speaking peoples

    Reason: IP editor & another editor have been edit-warring for eleven days. I encouraged them to discuss on Talk. IP editor is not happy with input of other editors & has returned to edit warring. Pathawi (talk) 01:33, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 2.26.151.114 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. from the article for a month. They have also been alerted to CTOPS and a CTOPS notice under ARBHORN left on the talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 18:58, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of characters in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai

    Reason: Indefinite Semi-Protection: persistent vandalism since previous protections expired, constant tampering with main cast Imsaneikigai (talk) 10:09, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended confirmed protected for a period of three weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Doing this again since some of the warring editors are autoconfirmed. Daniel Case (talk) 19:03, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 Indian general election

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Enable ECP until atleast 5th June 2024 as editing is being made on predictions. Thewikizoomer (talk) 12:14, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Please enforce WP:CT/IPA IanDBeacon (talk) 14:53, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. "Editing is being made on predictions"? Where does policy say that predicted election results cannot be edited? What if the sources making those predictions change those predictions? Are editors not allowed to change them then?
    More to the point, it seems like editors on an article that is right dead center in the hurricane's eye of one of the most contentious of our contentious topics are generally working well together. Proof that we can trust the community to do things right in situations like this, at least at the start. Daniel Case (talk) 19:09, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    American Airlines Flight 1420

    Reason: IP keeps adding "first day of Pride Month" to the lead, which while yes it was the first day of Pride Month, is hardly relevant to the article. Would like to see it semiprotected for the next 72 hours. Springeragh (talk) 13:41, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 172.56.86.56 (talk · contribs) blocked by Amortias. for 72 hours, with talk page access revoked. This was not the only page they were being a bad boy on. Daniel Case (talk) 19:12, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yuno Miles

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. From an LTA. This may not deter them who vandalize other pages and edit on their user page anyway, but I think some form of protection will help slightly. Aaron Liu (talk) 13:52, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Just so they don't revert the close. Daniel Case (talk) 19:17, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Elio (film)

    Reason: Users added 2024, when the film was delayed to 2025 due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, which presumably prevented the cast from recording dialogue and/or promoting the film. The Media Expert (talk) 18:38, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: Hawthorne 41 (talk · contribs) blocked by PhilKnight. I did not semiprotect because the user was autoconfirmed. No anon/non-autoconfirmed user has edited the page since February 2023, and prior to that you have to go back to 2021. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 19:42, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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

    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.

    Donald Trump

    The article needs to mention he is a felon the Wikipedia article is biased for not mentioning that he is a convicted felon under New York law as of yesterday 71.241.132.109 (talk) 18:40, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Already done. Have you read the article lately? Here's the final paragraph of the lead: In May 2024, a jury in New York found Trump guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels in an attempt to influence the 2016 presidential election, making Trump the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime. He faces 54 other felony counts in three other indictments: a federal prosecution in Florida related to his mishandling of classified documents; a federal prosecution in Washington, D.C., on charges of conspiracy and obstruction for efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election; and a state prosecution in Georgia on racketeering and other felonies committed in an effort to overturn the state's 2020 election results. In separate civil proceedings in New York state court, Trump was found liable for financial fraud in 2024 and liable for sexual abuse and defamation in 2023. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:52, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
