    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.

    Reason: 3 accounts of the IP sock master warned multiple times. Page has been protected, and 2 of his accounts have been blocked. They still insist on coming back with a new IP address. IP tries to add content without sources, deletes material without explanation, and ignores multiple user warnings. Auzandil (talk) 05:14, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I looked at the most recent IP edits (the only IP edits since protection expired) and they seem defensible. I am reluctant to semi-protect the article given that the IP had removed "and for his remarkable deeds he is widely considered a national hero to the brazilians" which you restored in diff. Are you sure that is how an encyclopedic article should be written? Is there a reference? Also, there is nothing relevant on article talk. Can you identify some recent vandalism?

    I understand what you mean. I believe that's more than just an edit dispute. That sentence is problematic, for sure, and I'm okay with deleting it. The issue is, the user deleted more than just that and said nothing. He deleted half of the page before protection. In his previous edits, they reverted changes, insisted on his version, and refused to communicate with other users. Is this how an article should be edited? He vandalized pages, and did block evasion. Should we allow sockedits and let other IP users do the same? There is no end to this.
    Please see what he did. I can't think of any "good faith" at this point. @Johnuniq

    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.

    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.
