    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.

    Ghurid dynasty

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Never ending disruption by IPs and new users, have lasted for countless years. HistoryofIran (talk) 13:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hit Me Hard and Soft

    Reason: It is imperative to protect the page for the new album Hit Me Hard and Soft by American singer and Grammy-winning artist Billie Eilish due to the numerous edits coming from anonymous/unsigned accounts with biased editorial and unreliable sources. The page is currently unprotected, allowing anyone to freely edit it. Hence, protection for this page is essential in the upcoming months.. Newpicarchive (talk) 13:43, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Joyous! Noise! 16:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    First Chechen War

    Reason: Continuous biased editing by rolling IPs with no sources/discussion. Per discussion: Talk:First_Chechen_War#This_article_is_impossible GreenC 14:39, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Please enforce WP:CT/EE. --IanDBeacon (talk) 15:01, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, please enforce. -- GreenC 17:47, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Tel al-Sultan airstrikes

    Reason: I'm requesting extended confirmation protection for the page. This is a current event receiving widespread coverage, as part of the Israel-Hamas War, which is a highly contentious topic. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 15:15, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Since there is no stable name and both variants are controversial, WP:TITLECHANGES instructs us to default to the original title, which in this case is Tel al-Sultan massacre. Dylanvt (talk) 15:46, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Mister Supranational 2024

    Reason: Recent sockpuppetry and IP interference with efforts to make articles conform to WP quality standards regarding formatting and sourcing. Reversion without stated rationale. Pages covered by WP:GS/PAGEANTS community sanctions. ☆ Bri (talk) 15:36, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Tel al-Sultan massacre

    Reason: Requesting move protection. Per WP:TITLECHANGES we should default to the original name until conensus is reached. Vandals have moved it a couple times against that policy to "Tel al-Sultan airstrikes". Dylanvt (talk) 15:38, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Oppose: The article title would violate NPOV. I have been moving the title back to Tel al-Sultan airstrikes. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 15:40, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That's not for you to decide, that's for a move discussion to decide. Dylanvt (talk) 15:44, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    South Melbourne FC

    Reason: High level of IP Vandalism. Dxeano (talk) 16:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 16:12, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    IP vandals have edited the page and added racist remarks.I’m requesting a short protection to this page as it’s a constant issue. Dxeano (talk) 16:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Damnatio memoriae

    Reason: Semi-protection: IP persists in adding, against talk page consensus, original research that misrepresents sources and is calling disagreement with them a vandal attack. Egsan Bacon (talk) 16:27, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Beyoncé

    Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced material by auto-confirmed users: If you look at the revision history, it shows a few users adding content that came from unreliable sources. Upgrade protection to Extended-Confirmed protected, this will decrease the amount of unsourced material being added by auto-confirmed users. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 16:44, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Carlos Lehder

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – There seems to be an IP editor persistently adding unsourced content and it seems to be a likely sock. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 16:57, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 18:33, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Bill Walton

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This article contains a person who recently passed away and is now being edited non stop. Swaggalicious (talk) 17:24, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 Enga landslide

    Reason: Vandalism by IPs. Borgenland (talk) 17:28, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Adam Christian Johnson

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. Gottagotospace (talk) 18:12, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2025 in American television

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism; users continually remove information about two untitled South Park films set for next year on one of the tables but keeps the references supported for it. 2603:6081:893D:13AC:3C1D:47EB:4393:9C0A (talk) 18:24, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Droop quota

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent edit warring introducing an off-by-one error after repeated explanations. –Sincerely, A Lime 18:34, 27 May 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 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.

    Whataboutism

    Reason: The current protection status of the page limits the ability of a broader range of contributors to edit and improve its content. This restriction is particularly concerning given the page's apparent lack of political neutrality.

    The article on "Whataboutism" exhibits a significant bias, predominantly reflecting a Western perspective. This bias skews the representation of whataboutism, often highlighting its use in contexts that criticize non-Western entities while downplaying or ignoring similar tactics employed by Western actors. This selective representation not only undermines the article's objectivity but also contravenes Wikipedia's core principle of maintaining a neutral point of view.

    Allowing more contributors to participate in editing this page can facilitate a more balanced and comprehensive discussion. By reducing the protection level, we can ensure that diverse perspectives are represented, thereby enhancing the article's credibility and adherence to Wikipedia's standards of neutrality.

    Thank you for considering this request. Your attention to ensuring the neutrality and accuracy of Wikipedia's content is greatly appreciated. 147.32.27.11 (talk) 14:29, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Whataboutism is not protected. Favonian (talk) 15:06, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Bidaai (TV series)

    Reason: Wanted to created a redirect at the title to Sapna Babul Ka... Bidaai. But looks like the page was indefinitely fully protected quite a while a back for sockpuppetry. I don't think those concerns should apply presently. Gotitbro (talk) 16:01, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Article is not, and never has been, protected. Favonian (talk) 17:04, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Elijah Collins

    Reason: (Hope I'm doing this at the right place) - 12 years ago the title "Elijah Collins" was salted. The previous one was about a different subject, but now there's a notable NFL player with this name (see Draft:Elijah Collins) and the protection is preventing the draft from being published. Thanks, BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:19, 27 May 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.
