 | 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. |

Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

Reason: Edit dispute arie (talk) 10:41, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – The only contributions to this article are from socks of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Afv12e. Should be ECP'ed under WP:GS/CASTE/WP:CT/IPA. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 11:13, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Various users (Wasp19455 and IP editors) keep removing the photo without explaining why. I've left messages on two IP talk pages, but a new one just reverted my latest edit. = paul2520 💬 14:30, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Jdcomix (talk) 15:36, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- List of American federal politicians convicted of crimes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: IP users and non-confirmed accounts have repeatedly edited the page to perform the same disruptive edit of changing Michael Flynn's party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, in spite of users repeatedly pointing out that he was a registered Democrat at the relevant time. TRCRF22 (talk) 15:42, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: High levels of vandalism by IP users and likely socks over the last three years. It's likely the vandalism is coming from one or multiple students attending this school. I find it likely vandalism will return under a new account in the near future. I'd recommend semi-protection for the page. Solitaire Wanderer (talk) 15:56, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Move protection: Page title dispute/move warring – Very slow move war, had to be reverted back to the last stable version after multiple disputes over the name. EggRoll97 (talk) 03:09, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: A certain editor has made repeated edits with misspelling and misuse of capitalisation. I have mentioned this in the user's talk page, but the problem continues and the user is now replacing correct use of upper case and lower case with incorrect use.

- Gymnastics at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's floor (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: IOC has not ruled on the CAS ruling regarding the relative placements of Jordan Chiles and Ana Barbosu. Jordan Chiles remains the official bronze medalist until the IOC issues a ruling, but many are editing the standings to reflect the CAS decision which has no impact on the allocation of medals 2601:8C1:C180:7580:A448:B72F:C11F:BF48 (talk) 17:57, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Due to fears of an edit war by another user regarding the ages of two of the main 4 Cures. Also, violation of WP:Fandom as this user mentioned the Pretty Cure Wiki on Fandom in one of the edits. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 18:16, 10 August 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.
