Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level[edit]

Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
Shortcuts

Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Invictus Games[edit]

Reason: Request temporary semi-protection. For the past few weeks, and after any announcement with this Foundation, vandalism and/sockpuppetry occurs on these and related pages. The editing with unreliable or inaccurate sources make it difficult to read and lead to poor editing of the page Cibrian209 (talk) 15:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 15:24, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Note: I've reviewed the edit history of the article, and there's a lot of suspicious editing from new accounts. ECP may be necessary, but I'm on the fence, so I'll leave the decision to another administrator. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:59, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Let's see if WP:SEMI does the trick. If it falls short, editors are welcome to relist here (with immediate effect) with a request for an WP:ECP upgrade. @Cibrian209 and Daniel Quinlan: courtesy pings. El_C 05:32, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Middle Belt[edit]

Reason: Unregistered and new editors editing page without a proper understanding of the subject matter. Kambai Akau (talk) 20:58, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:15, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Doug Davis (businessman)[edit]

Reason: Repeat of of vandalism an antisemitic bent KnittingQueenKY (talk) 21:02, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I've warned the editor. If they continue, please report them to WP:ANI. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Southern Kaduna[edit]

Reason: Unseasoned editors with poor knowledge of the area attempting to vandalism page. Kambai Akau (talk) 21:04, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

List of United States presidential assassination attempts and plots[edit]

Reason: Breaking news on the topic will likely lead to many edits with conflicting information 50.35.75.176 (talk) 22:30, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:39, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Already protected by administrator Elli. It looks like the level of disruption increased. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Security incidents involving Donald Trump[edit]

Reason: Donald Trump attacked a rally. Requesting ECP as part of American politics sanctions. Ovioas,wo (talk) 22:53, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Not done. The article is already semi-protected and that seems to be sufficient right now. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:36, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

2024 assassination attempt of Donald Trump[edit]

Reason: High vandalism. High political. Post-1992 ArbCom protection needed. Page already admin-move protected, but somehow was not even EC protected. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 22:55, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Why is it only semi protected please make it extended confirmed protected 24.115.255.37 (talk) 22:57, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Not done. Article is protected at the current location. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Donald Trump[edit]

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Alleged assassination attempt. We may need some time to sort through this, and then will need to return it to ECP. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:56, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Protecting it would be a bit premature at this point. The article is already ECP. Let's try issuing some warnings if needed. We're dealing with EC editors. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:59, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

List of United States presidential assassination attempts and plots[edit]

Rock Machine[edit]

Reason:: Conflict of interest editing. This editor who only edits the Rock Machine article admits to being a Rock Machine member here [1] and shows all the signs of treating Wikipedia like a battleground. --A.S. Brown (talk) 23:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Not done. This is better suited for WP:ANI. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:35, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

2024 shooting at a Donald Trump rally[edit]

Reason: Requesting extended confirmed protection to counter vandalism. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 23:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Duplicate 24.115.255.37 (talk) 23:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
I don't think that there has been a bunch of vandalism on the article, and we don't tend to block preventatively. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 23:21, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
I declined to increase the protection level earlier, but the article started getting more problematic edits from autoconfirmed editors such as [2] and [3] so it seemed appropriate to ECP it under WP:CT/AP. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:29, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Those edits aren't exactly vandalism. And I do think that six months is quite long all things considered, especially if the only basis for doing so are the sorts of edits that you've cited (which are not optimal, but appear to be good faith). — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:51, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
I didn't protect the article due to vandalism. As I replied and logged, I protected it under the contentious topics procedure. There were other issues including some vandalism (although that was largely resolved by the semi-protection), but the worst problems seemed to be edits pushing various points of view, edits adding original research, poorly sourced edits, unsourced edits, and some disruptive reverting and removals. I hope this helps explain my reasoning. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:05, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Logged as enforcement for WP:CT/AP. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:24, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Talk:2024 shooting at a Donald Trump rally[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: A bit of an IAR situation, but could be good until the dust settles, per an IP on the page. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 23:47, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Already protected by administrator Fuzheado. ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 23:49, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Already protected by administrator Fuzheado. @Fuzheado: Could you please shorten the edit protection duration from indefinite to something shorter, like a week or a month, as per WP:PREEMPTIVE? Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
I'll match the 6 months of the ECP on the article though folks may want to lift it sooner. - Fuzheado | Talk 00:07, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
Respectfully, the only way for any non-autoconfirmed user to possibly participate on the page, including in the form of move requests, is to allow them to make edits to the page. I think that a six-month ECP on the article is too long, and also that a six month talk page semiprotection is not proportional to the disruption that has occurred. This is particularly concerning, given that the protecting administrator is is an active participant on the substance of discussions on that talk page; I don't think that we should be making protections of pages where we are actively involved. I would urge Fuzheado to reduce the length of the semi-protection to no more than one week. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:44, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
@Red-tailed hawk: I agree about the duration of the talk page protection. Regarding the article protection, which I made as an uninvolved administrator, I would have used a shorter duration if it seemed remotely viable. Also, six months is a common duration for WP:CT/AP enforcement. Reviewing the 2024 log, there have only been three protections (not counting full protection) shorter than six months and they were all three months long. Regards. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:15, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Battle of Toretsk[edit]

Indefinite Extended confirmed protection: WP:RUSUKR sanction enforcement; obviously falls under the sanctions. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 01:36, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. El_C 05:11, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Chaubisi Rajya[edit]

Reason: ongoing vandalism 103.29.114.44 (talk) 02:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. You might consider registering a personal account so you can watchlist the article. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:24, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Pamela Paul[edit]

Reason: Editwarring, especially on a WP:ARBGS article by rando ips.

Think Confirmed protection and reminder to 1RR rule should be ok. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 03:13, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. As WP:ARBGS. Gonna wait to see how effective this protection is before also adding WP:1RR. El_C 05:20, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Kimberly Cheatle[edit]

Reason: Related to current events re: assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Folks have vandalized to blame her for it. JohnHawkinsBois (talk) 03:16, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Already protected by administrator Joyous!. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:19, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Tom Morello[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – There's an IP changing and block evading person who keeps returning to the article. Many blocks haven't worked whatsoever. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 05:33, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 5 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 05:56, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Kiryas Joel–Poughkeepsie–Newburgh metropolitan area[edit]

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. In particular, many IPs object to "Kiryas Joel" being part of the metropolitan area's name. However, that's what the White House decided to do; people who disagree really need to complain to the White House, not try to edit that decision out of the article. SomethingForDeletion (talk) 05:38, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. El_C 05:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:Current event[edit]

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Match protection of redirect target. Not many transclusions at any one time, but tends to be translcuded in pages with millions of daily views. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 07:12, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

The target is protected at the template editor level, not extended confirmed level. Ymblanter (talk) 09:04, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Lanka Tiles[edit]

Temporary full protection: Content Dispute/Edit Warring. Cremastra (talk) 07:37, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 09:02, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

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.

Queen Mary 2[edit]

Reason: Semi-protection no longer needed as Wikipedia:General sanctions/COVID-19 editing restrictions lifted. 49.150.14.10 (talk) 06:01, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

@El C: as protecting admin. Lectonar (talk) 06:48, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
It should be noted that any sanctions in place at the time WP:ARBCOVID was passed were automatically converted into discretionary sanctions. That doesn't invalidate this request, however; "legacy" sanctions, to my knowledge, weren't grandfathered in when DS became CTOPs and this falls well outside the one-year enforcement privilege. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:31, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
Unprotected. El_C 00:57, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Love jihad conspiracy theory[edit]

Reason: Much of the information is false and conveys hatred against Hindus in India Jacieann (talk) 18:43, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined. This is my protection (log), as it happens, under Love Jihad, which is now a redirect. Or at least the WP:ECP upgrade was mine, the indef semi was Oshwah. Anyway, protected and logged as WP:ARBIPA, I find this request falls short and is too vague. You may use the edit request feature though, Jacieann. Thank you. El_C 01:05, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]

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.

*Oppose it is WP:TOOSOON to determine if it was an attempted assassination or not. We should absolutely not attempt to gun on this and frankly, the article was created too early as it is. Downerr2937 (talk) 00:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)}}

I can help reduce the backlog. >>> Extorc.talk 14:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

User:48JCL[edit]

I’ve reviewed pages on the new pages feed. In fact, I have sometimes CSD or redirected (because it’s a duplicate article) before NPRs, please consider me. 48JCL 12:44, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

User:CharlieMehta[edit]

About a month ago, I was alloted Autopatroller rights, which was a big step in my Wikipedia work. I have worked hard to make sure my pages meet Wikipedia's standards for accuracy, neutrality, and quality. Drawing from my experience and advise from Just Step Sideways, I am requesting to assess my credentials for New Page Patroller rights on Wikipedia. Charlie (talk) 16:25, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

 Done, for the usual two month trial. After that please make a new request so we can make it permanent. Thanks for helping out. – Joe (talk) 06:31, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

User:KingSkyLord[edit]

I have been editing for over 7 years and I plan on using this permission in order to help with discussions on WP:RM and deal with cross-redirects for articles that should have more disambiguated titles. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 12:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

User:Ae245[edit]

This user right will be super useful to me for moving unsuitable articles to draft space (eliminating the need to tag the resulting redirect with R2), dealing with articles created by new users in the wrong namespace (that I come across a lot as a vandalism patroller), and performing a round-robin move on two pages (that I try to fix occasionally when an editor copy-pastes an article). I've familiarized myself with the guidelines for moving and the article title policy. Ae245 (talk) 08:05, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

(Non-admin comment) @Ae245: If you use User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft, it will automatically tag the redirect for deletion, along with other things like notifying the creator of the article per WP:DRAFTIFY and warning you when the article was last edited in the past hour, such that it shouldn't be draftified yet per WP:NPPHOUR/WP:DRAFTNO.

User:SafariScribe[edit]

I have moved quite a number of pages per WP:RM, and submitted many to WP:RM/TR. Since I wasn't of age to have this right, it was declined. Today, I logged in to Wikipedia Library, and because it worked, it means that I have reached the six months criteria for a page mover. I still want to volunteer here, and will be happy if granted.

Hello! I'm S-Aura. I've been editing Wikipedia for a few years. I've added new articles and learned how Wikipedia works. I'm good at finding mistakes and fixing them.

Now, I want to help review edits to make sure the information on Wikipedia is correct and reliable. I think it's important for people to have access to accurate information, and I want to help make that happen.

Thankyou! 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 19:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done at this time. I'm not seeing any anti-vandalism work in your Wikipedia editing history and I also have concerns about your understanding of the policy on biographies of living persons given your creation of articles like Luca Verhoeven. DanCherek (talk) 16:44, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

User:Sink Cat[edit]

I've been editing on Wikipedia consistently for almost a year, focusing on fighting vandalism, fixing citations, and archival. I believe that having this permission could aid in the approval of constructive pending changes that I often come across while fighting vandalism. I have made roughly 1500 edits, and have earned the rollback permission. — Your local Sink Cat (The Sink). 23:22, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

User:Rkieferbaum[edit]

Hi there! Requesting rollback rights to be able to use different tools for reverting vandalism. I'm open to any questions or feedback on my editing and counter-vandalism actions. Cheers. Rkieferbaum (talk) 11:34, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 06:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: hi there. It's true that I seldom warn IP users that don't edit on a regular basis. I just feel like no one is going to see that warning and it might be confusing for other users from that IP. This might be a mistake on my part and I'll gladly fix it. You'll see that, with registered users, I've warned them 100% of the time or very close to that. Thanks for your time. Rkieferbaum (talk) 10:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? -Fastily 10:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: of course, it's a promise. I do agree that welcoming newcomers is among the most important things we do here. Thanks. Rkieferbaum (talk) 11:29, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Great, thanks for confirming. Could you please now go some RC patrol in which you demonstrate how you will be notifying all users? -Fastily 03:17, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

User:MP1999[edit]

Hi! I've been fighting vandalism for a while now and would like to use some other tools, like WP:HUGGLE to do so more efficiently. I've grown to have a good understanding of how to fight vandalism, including WP:RPPI and WP:AIV. Thanks for considering and have a great rest of your day! MP1999 ❯❯❯ Talk 16:38, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I noticed you make a handful of edits, and then drop off for weeks/months at a time. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month consistently patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are always warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 10:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

User:Jackdude101[edit]

I am heavily involved with editing route diagram templates and adding new items to template:rail-interchange, with a special focus on rail lines in France for the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris starting later this month. I have made multiple edit requests there in the past, and very recently after refamiliarizing myself with the process, I've started to do it again. I would like the ability to edit that template directly so I don't have to rely on others to do it for me. Jackdude101 talk cont 07:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

    "Do you want to take a survey?"[edit]

    On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.

    On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.

    Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.

    Short To Do list[edit]

    Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers[edit]

    Up to Dec 16, 2003, all the edits at these anonymous id's were mine (59 edits):

    More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.
