    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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Revanth Reddy

    Reason: Since the past few days, people have been changing images, names a lot. It is a hassle to change it back everytime. It has happened 4 times if I can recollect correctly.

    It gets around 1500 views every day and people are very eager to make changes. Requesting protection for a few years, atleast till his chief ministerial term finishes in 2028.

    Define the Great Line

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Genre warrior IP address keeps removing sourced content and adding "screamo" over and over. He uses different IPs so a block itself probably would not do any good. Lil Sad Lil Happy (talk) 10:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ad Orientem (talk) 01:20, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent vandalism. Charliehdb (talk) 11:53, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. I note this appears to be a new user who may be confused. Let's tread lightly here to the extent possible. Ad Orientem (talk) 01:22, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hikmat Zaid

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – BLP that falls under the purview of WP:CT/A-I which has been the repeated target of a COI sockputtetry campaign. IPs are now restoring the banned user's addition. Bobby Cohn (talk) 12:44, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Beirut

    Indefinate extended-confirmed protection: Arbitration Enforcement, and WP:CT/AI. Especially considering the death of Nasrallah, and the Israeli airstrikes on Beirut. 142.114.181.79 (talk) 15:53, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: I don't see any current disruptive editing. And FYI, pages aren't preempitvely protected. IanDBeacon (talk) 17:07, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Jim Sheridan

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Over the past month, 5 IPs and 2 new single-purpose accounts (Brad O'Reillys & Jim2032) have been adding in unsourced names and other information about the article subject's supposed relatives (e.g., [1]). This has been an issue in the past, going back to at least 2021, although never at the current pace of edits. – notwally (talk) 17:07, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Brendan DuBois

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: BLP policy violations – Repeated addition of unsourced WP:DOB by IP editor. IP editor was banned 5 days ago for 24 hours, when a new account (WillMarch12) made same edits and was banned as well. IP editor is now back restoring DOB. – notwally (talk) 17:45, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Harlequin (Lady Gaga album)

    Reason: IP Vandalism. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2804:1690:800:2DC0:85AA:7820:6255:661B) There's a talk page to discuss potential changes (with sources) that is being currently ignored by this IP. 2804:29B8:50B0:1E83:6088:9A8A:7F27:8F5D (talk) 20:33, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The Repair Shop

    Reason: Repeated addition of unsourced comments about a named individual, made from various IP addresses beginning 2a02:7c:b46d:8f00. No suggestion of sockpuppetry – I’m assuming it’s a dynamically allocated address from his/her internet provider. Suggest pending changes protection, given that the named individual is the subject of court proceedings. Northernhenge (talk) 21:32, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. 2A02:C7C:B46D:8F00:0:0:0:0/64 x 1 week. Ad Orientem (talk) 01:58, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Somali Civil War

    Reason: Permanent extended-confirmed protection. Article fits well under WP:CT/HORN. Back and forth edit warring on the map file that shows significantly different revisions. Many of the users reverting have said that they are edit warring to make Somalia look "better". Ecrusized (talk) 22:44, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. Very little evidence of disruption. If that changes, comeback. Ad Orientem (talk) 02:05, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Somali Civil War (2009–present)

    Reason: Permanent extended-confirmed protection. Article fits well under WP:CT/HORN. Back and forth edit warring on the map file that shows significantly different revisions.

    Disambiguation (disambiguation)

    Reason: Please semiprotect indefinitely. Almost edits to this page are new accounts or IPs like me, just graffiti-ing the page, or they're established users undoing the graffiti. The only exceptions in the last couple of years are [2] and [3], by autoconfirmed users. I think this edit in 2021 was the last productive edit that would have been prevented by semiprotection. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 02:12, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. No edits in more than 2 months. Ad Orientem (talk) 02:15, 30 September 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.

    The Fat Controller

    Reason: Not so long article, some content was removed. Warthunder20 (talk) 01:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. The content was removed for valid reasons, as you can see in the article's edit history. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:23, 30 September 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.
