    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.

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Arbcom: India Pakistan articles. Heyaaaaalol (talk) 01:31, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi Heyaaaaalol, contrary to the very similarly named WP:ARBPIA, the WP:ARBIPA area has no automatic extended-confirmed protection. There has been some disruptive editing in the history of this article, but no recent incident. Is there a specific reason for requesting this today? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:01, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This article falls under WP:General sanctions/South Asian social groups and can be placed under indefinite extended confirmed protection if there is a history of disruption. - Ratnahastin (talk) 12:34, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Muhammad Yunus

    Extended confirmed protection: Persistent BLP violations  – @NAUser0001 user Adding controversies content to the Muhammad Yunus article without independent and reliable sources. I told him/her on the talk page that Indian media sources can't be considered reliable and independent in controversial, defamatory issues. Add independent media sources like BBC, The New York Post, Washington Post, DW, Al Jazeera, etc., and international media sources for his/her claim. but not listening and reverting the edit again and again.

    Nuatali Nelmes

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism - defamatory content (this content below is factual and can be locked until the vandalism stops) Nuatali Josephine Nelmes is an Australian politician who served as Lord Mayor of Newcastle from a by-election in 2014 until her defeat at the 2024 local elections.[2] She is the youngest person to ever serve as Newcastle lord mayor.[3]

    Career Nelmes studied a business degree in industrial relations and marketing at the University of Newcastle, and joined the Labor Party when she was 20.[4] She was elected to the City of Newcastle council in 2008, succeeding her father, long-serving Labor councillor Paul Scobie.[5][6] She was the Labor candidate for Lord Mayor at the 2012 election, and was endorsed by former state MP Jodi McKay, but was defeated by developer and conservative independent candidate Jeff McCloy.[7][8][9][10] She stood for the Senate in the unwinnable fifth position on the Labor ticket at the 2013 federal election, and nominated for preselection for the 2014 Newcastle state by-election, losing to fellow councillor Tim Crakanthorp.[11][12] She has also served as a member of the Labor Party's national policy forum.[4]

    In mid-2014, McCloy resigned as Lord Mayor after becoming involved in a corruption investigation into illegal donations to MPs in the region. Nelmes was again the Labor candidate at the resulting by-election, and was successful, receiving 42% of the vote to closest rival and conservative independent Brad Luke's 24%.[13][14] Nelmes campaigned on restoring trust, protecting and improving services particularly public transport, Newcastle railway line, supports funding the Newcastle Art Gallery expansion, and urban renewal in the inner city.[15] She has also supported a Newcastle bid for the 2030 Commonwealth Games.[16] Nelmes is only the second female Lord Mayor of Newcastle after popular 1970s-era mayor Joy Cummings. Her victory also resulted in Labor taking control of the local, state and federal political offices in Newcastle for the first time since 1998.[17]

    Nelmes was defeated by former Labor-turned independent candidate Ross Kerridge at the 2024 New South Wales local elections. Labor lost the Lord Mayoralty as well as their majority voting bloc in council at the election.[18] Genuine23446 (talk) 13:13, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reviewing admin, please see AIV regarding edit-warring and possible sockpuppetry by this SPA. Wikishovel (talk) 13:19, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 13:22, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I've also partially blocked Genuine23446 and Wildhorse13992 (24 hours and indefinitely, respectively) from the article. I'll note here that their editing and naming pattern makes me think of two ducks in a pond. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 13:27, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Ottoman conquest of Habesh

    Reason: High level of edit warring, I have spoken on talk page yet being ignored by the editor. Replayerr (talk) 13:40, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (film)

    Reason: After a recent protection period expired, this page has been subject to enough unconstructive / misleading edits, that even though editors have been duly adamant about reverting them, it's happened enough times in four or so days that it's become excessively disruptive. Figure a semi-protection would help keep the page orderly. BarntToust 14:04, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Isa Guha

    Reason: Vandalism following something unfortunate that she said. MaskedSinger (talk) 14:33, 16 December 2024 (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.

    Reason: Courcelles have not responded, please unprotect if reasonable. ミラへぜ (talk) (ping me!) 01:06, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Snow White (2025 film)

    Reason: It hasn't been vandalised, and there are things that should be added, such as Lorena Andrea as part of the cast, although the movie has a big controversy because of Rachel Ziegler. 190.21.180.249 (talk) 06:00, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    City Line (Merseytravel)

    Reason: Move protection was never really needed because there is no history of bad moves. Unprotection is needed because the page should be (uncontroversially) moved to match the sentence case of the other Merseyrail/Merseytravel and also to follow how Transport for London underground and overground lines are named. 10mmsocket (talk) 11:10, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
