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.

Reason: Extended-confirmed protection - Edit-war between me and MGBD where the latter party is introducing/restoring concerning content, including committing source fraud to try to get the content to stick. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 08:12, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- please check all the other pages of bangladeshi generals. Written in exactly the sourced from military websites. Please do not do this. Thanks. MGBD (talk) 18:03, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- written exactly in the same way! MGBD (talk) 18:04, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- That isn't licence to violate WP:BLP. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:06, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- ECP will not work here for very long ... MGBD could easily overcome it with a good day of edits to other articles. Any other ideas? Daniel Case (talk) 03:51, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at MGBD's edit history, it seems to be entwined heavily with this article, but I'm reluctant to outright ask for a block, since he is at least trying to properly cite the article. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 07:14, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite template protection: High-risk template – Its parent template is now also template-protected. George Ho (talk) 05:47, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: IP vandalism without proper source citation Junsik1223 (talk) 12:41, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Declined for now. Let's assume good faith based on their edit summaries and try to engage on the page's talk page. Perhaps link the new user to info on how to cite? If they continue to just revert and revert, re-report. GoodnightmushTalk 12:50, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 13:49, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: IP with no prior editing history keeps re-adding a contentious change. Requesting semi-protection to stop the edit warring while discussion is ongoing on the talk page. Jah77 (talk) 14:31, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: CTOPS. Borgenland (talk) 15:02, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent addition of unsourced content. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 15:08, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Frost 15:13, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent disruptive editing by an IP. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 15:25, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 15:28, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 15:30, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism. M S Hassan 📬✍🏻 16:42, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 16:42, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 17:19, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: talk page flooded with sockpuppets despite advising them to use talk page of articles, instead of approaching me personaly for their edits.Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 17:21, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 17:37, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent WP:TENDENTIOUS editing. HistoryofIran (talk) 17:31, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected indefinitely. Will be logged under WP:CT/KURD. Favonian (talk) 17:47, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – This page pertains to antisemitism at it relates to the Israel-Palestinian conflict and thus should be protected as such, due to long-term disruptive editing and especially violations of WP:NPOV (I just reverted one right now.) I kind of wish we had pending changes settings that only autoreview for ECP. Awesome Aasim 17:42, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- And if you cannot do ECP, the next best thing would be pending changes, as this page isn't edited that frequently. Awesome Aasim 17:43, 26 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.
