    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.

    List of coups and coup attempts since 2010

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism by IP-hopper from Romania over the past ten days. Skywatcher68 (talk) 15:40, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Both IPs blocked for 1 month. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 18:14, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Grizzy and the Lemmings episodes

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Same IP-hopper from Romania and an IPv6 range from the UK. Skywatcher68 (talk) 15:41, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Romanian IPs blocked 1 month, UK IPv6 2 weeks. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 18:17, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Hypergiant

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Multiple disruptive edits and ridiculous mass reverts from sockpuppets of a banned and locked user, who is ignorantly and angrily lashing out on people of quote-unquote "having bias towards VY Canis Majoris as the largest star" even despite my criticism and as well as List of largest stars still having stars with larger radii. Furthermore, this user has been cherry-picking unreliable and biased info like for NML Cygni and UY Scuti in particular such as old radii and status as the largest which likely just came from older Wikipedia revisions (and WP isn't a reliable reference). Just because a ref states a star as the largest star known doesn't mean it should be blindly considered as 100% as the largest depending on other sources and especially the reliable value estimate of the said star (see also an archived discussion). It can be said this sockpuppet creator may be just attempting to rudely force his takes on others rather than discuss in talk page in a civil way. Same goes for other pages this user recently edited like NML Cygni, Red supergiant, Talk:List of largest stars, Stephenson 2 DFK 1, Orders of magnitude (length), and List of star extremes. I apologize if my English was bad. Thanks. Regards—ZaperaWiki44(✉/Contribs) 19:59, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Calvin Robinson

    Reason: Large volume of unsourced IP BLP editing after a controversial event. Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 21:17, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 21:48, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Battle of Pipli Sahib

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Sporadic IP disruption of the result. Would be better if this page was protected. Noorullah (talk) 21:31, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 2 years, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 21:46, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Laken Riley Act

    Reason: Anonymous accounts keep replacing the article with terms like "illegal alien" which is inaccurate and dehumanizing. Who the law affects is also under dispute in the talk page and I think it should be edit protected for the time being so we can reach a consensus on what terms to use. LaggyMcStab (talk) 22:10, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Hamas history

    Reason: The template is attached to protected Wikipedia pages and was discreetly vandalised by guest users. (Please refer to the template version history) N niyaz (talk) 22:16, 29 January 2025 (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 on 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.
