    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.

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    Eilean Donan

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Target of LTA. Air on White (talk) 08:28, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Mifter (talk) 16:41, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Frank Bainimarama

    Reason: Vandalism and BLP violations. Former Fijian Prime Minister, recently arrested. I would go with extended-confirmed-protection if it was up to me. Schestos (talk) 09:51, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 5 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mifter (talk) 16:40, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Stellar Blade

    Reason: Disruptive Editing by IPs, potentially the same person over and over. Talk page discussion was opened but ignored. Vestigium Leonis (talk) 09:54, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Lille OSC

    Reason: Persistent vandalism by unregistered users. Needs an enhanced protection. Recent previous locking was insufficient. AideDésintéressée (talk) 10:15, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Mifter (talk) 16:39, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Illit

    Reason: Recent events casuing vandals John123521 (Talk-Contib.) 10:31, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Mifter (talk) 16:39, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Asian countries by GDP

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Dynamic IP has been repeatedly messing with the list. McSly (talk) 12:40, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Trillion dollar club (macroeconomics)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Nearly all edits on this article this month have been to counteract the IP editors who have repeatedly added, or have replaced well established Trillion dollar countries (eg USA, Japan) with, Pakistan, a country that has never gotten anywhere close to 1 Trillion GDP according to the this article's main source (#3), with source 4 on Economy of Pakistan, and any basic web search for "current GDP of Pakistan". For a moment I thought it was possible that the IPs were confusing PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) with GDP, as Pakistan's PPP is 1.57 trillion (2023 est), BUT that is not how this article is presenting the data, or how the other entries are calculated, and the flat out replacement of the USA with Pakistan does not allow any good faith assumptions for any possible PPP/GDP confusion.

    Boston Bruins

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism continued when protection expired. Wracking talk! 15:18, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Steve Buscemi

    Temporary pending changes protection: Persistent Vandalism. Staraction (talk | contribs) 16:35, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Janno Lieber

    Reason: and related AFD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Janno Lieber due to disruptive editing by a SPA and an IP editor repeatedly reopening an improper AFD by reversion. StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 16:53, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Justin Shenkarow

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism 104.35.8.48 (talk) 17:13, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The article was last edited in January, and the last "vandalism" is lost in the mists of time. Favonian (talk) 17:52, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Miss USA 2024 / Miss Teen USA 2024

    Reason: Continuous IP vandalism and/or changing material without references. Articles are subject to WP:GS/PAGEANTS general sanctions. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:14, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Kabylia

    Reason: Persistent disruptive editing. Skitash (talk) 17:45, 13 May 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.

    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.

    Talk:Israel-Hamas war

    I would like to request the addition of a talk page on the Israel-Hamas war article that points out that the map on said article doesn’t show the Israeli evacuation order from Rafah and should be updated. LordOfWalruses (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
