    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.

    Social question

    Reason: Persistent disruptive editing from unregistered user, unreliable sources (incl. AI and google search result pages) and failed verification Hi! (talk) 22:28, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Oort1: unreliable sources??? You should read this, for example:
    Speech at the University of Notre Dame
    Indiana, Notre Dame, 6 September 2017
    Former President of Germany Horst Köhler
    keywords: "global social question" + inequality + globalization + climate (change)
    and https://www.google.com/search?q=%22global+social+question%22

    Reason: Persistent disruptive editing by IPs and new users. Johnj1995 (talk) 00:24, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Rice and peas

    Reason: Good day! I am writing to request protection or semi-protection of the Rice and peas page. I am not the creator of the page, but I am a contributor who has invested a lot of time and effort to improve the page. Almost all of the page was written by me, and almost all of the images were added by me, most of which are my personal photos. However, the following users: 2601:147:4700:2000:418A:557A:92B3:8437 and 68.33.255.195, who I believe to be the same user, affiliated with the Rice and beans page has been deliberately removing info. I have a background in Caribbean Studies, History and Food & Nutrition, and the dish concerns my country/region, and history. I have researched the subject thoroughly, and have contributed personal pics for illustrations and clarity, and I have made sure to be inclusive of all variations I have direct knowledge about. There are differences between "rice and beans" and " rice and peas" dishes, but the aforementioned user seems to be unaware of this, and for unknown reasons have been constantly removing a section of the "rice and peas" page which details the history of variations in Central America. I would like to complete editing the page, but I am discouraged by the constant attack from the said user(s). On this premise, I am asking for assistance.

    Reason: Persistent vandalism – A lot of recent vandalism from several new/unregistered editors. Ghent123 (talk) 02:57, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Just following up. Could we get some form of page protection soon? The only edits are either unconstructive and biased edits, or editors reverting said unconstructive edits. Ghent123 (talk) 23:53, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Nazi Lowriders

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive IP editing removing sourced content, adding unsourced, along with formatting errors. IPs have been noticed and issues persist. IP may have a COI. ButlerBlog (talk) 03:04, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Angolan Civil War

    Reason: Recent incidents of edit warring between users and IPs. This might be the same operator that started the first edit war. Apprently, the IP involves are proxy IPs. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 17:11, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The customer is always right

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Currently under pending changes to stop IPs from erroneously adding the unsourced internet myth "full version" of the quote, but given that such an edit was just approved, semi-protection may make more sense.

    Danielle Bradbery

    Reason: Her stalker has continued to go into her page & make changes including saying they are married, adding his last name to her legal name, and adding in an AI created photo of them "together". He continues to make these changes after I have gone in & updated her personal information to be correct and after I included sources to further verify the information I am submitting is correct. OKD97 (talk) 22:58, 17 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.

    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]

    Pinging @Redrose64, who originally protected the page. --Ahecht (TALK

    Uncontroversial page moves may be requested at WP:RM/TR. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:30, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    David Stern

    Reason: The page was marked as being protected due to BLP, and is still listed under that reason despite Stern dying in 2020. I am making this request per this discussion, and I am very hesitant to do so, given my concerns about the page possibly being vandalized again (hence why making the edit request was my first choice) but maybe that's just me. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 12:08, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    If you have concerns about the page possibly being vandalised, why are you requesting a reduction in protection level? — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:45, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Because Cyberdog958 recommended I do so in the linked discussion. Note also the part above where I said "maybe that's just me." 100.7.34.111 (talk) 14:04, 17 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.
