    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.

    Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Donald Trump proposal for displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:CT/A-I. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 08:27, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Article does not look like it will be kept, there is no apparent disruption, and I think we have a higher bar to protect an AfD (Not that I've never done it). Daniel Case (talk) 01:22, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Ridvan Haqifi

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Aqurs1 (talk) 08:44, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Both IPs have been blocked for two weeks; I have also added the article to the existing partial block on 87.116.160.0/19 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)) Daniel Case (talk) 01:27, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Jewish Council of Australia

    Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – I'm actually unfamiliar with editing in this area (re Israel/Palestine-related issues), but have noticed the ARBPIA template being used on a few talk pages, so am just submitting this here as this seems a likely candidate, given the current hot topic re antisemitic attacks in Australia at the moment. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:43, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 01:32, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Sankranthiki Vasthunam

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism Tonyy Starkk (talk) 12:56, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 02:38, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Jakhar

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Per WP:GSCASTE, disruptive editing by IPs belonging to LTA Truthfindervert. - Ratnahastin (talk) 13:09, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. And logged. Daniel Case (talk) 02:42, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Bakhtrioni uprising

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent tampering with the long standing result by new users/IPs, possible sockpuppetry. HistoryofIran (talk) 14:16, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Yup, there is definitely some sockpuppetry involved. At least the IP 31.146.123.47 is User:CeRcVa13. I'll file an SPI later today when I have time. HistoryofIran (talk) 14:18, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 02:48, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Harikrishnans

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – edit war between fans in putting their favourite actor first in order. Aadirulez8 (talk) 19:52, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Not many edits this month, really. Daniel Case (talk) 02:50, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Danish flags

    Reason: An IP user known as "80.208.68.164" has been adding nonsense into the page since October. Wheatley2 (speak to me) (watch me) 23:11, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. After reading the discussion on user's talk page, blocked from List of Danish Flags page for one year.— rsjaffe 🗣️ 00:41, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Deadpool & Wolverine

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Trailblazer101 (talk) 23:31, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Elisabeth Brauss

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP hopper hoaxing context of an image. Jalen Barks (Woof) 00:09, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Both IPs blocked 1 week. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 00:28, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    José de la Serna, 1st Count of the Andes

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP editors kept on adding sourced content. Cassiopeia talk 00:39, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. If they're adding sourced content, what's the problem? Daniel Case (talk) 03:01, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    A-Town Down Under

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – The page keeps getting disrupted by IP sockpuppets of User:Jdhfox - see this SPI archive where all the various IP addresses that attack this page fall into either a /40 or /41 IPv6 range which unfortunately seems to have quite some traffic from other editors. Hence, looks like we might have to protect this page or lay a partial-block on the range. — AP 499D25 (talk) 01:01, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. /41 blocked from page for 6 months. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:09, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Santiago Giménez

    Temporary extended confirmed protection. GoPurple'nGold24 02:00, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:25, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Zellij

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent POV vandalism over the last few days (deletion of material mentioning countries other than Morocco or insertion of pro-Morocco statements): [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. This is a flare-up of what has been ongoing, mostly intermittent, POV vandalism on this article. Examples from last year alone: [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], This is due to political controversy between Moroccan and Algeria over this topic; e.g., [18].

    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.

    Wikipedia

    Reason: Wikipedia, the article about itself has been indefinitely extended confirmed protected for nearly 1 year now (since March of 2024). This was in light of a sockpuppet who kept on vandalizing the article. I think that given the long timeframe, the person running the sockpuppet has likely lost interest in Wikipedia (no way he would be monitoring the page for an entire year just to vandalize it again and for it to be protected once more). GIven the few amount of users that have Extended Confirmed status and that it is the most important article on the website, it should be downgraded to indefinite Autoconfirmed Protection.

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 12:11, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Unprotected Oh, wait, I am the current protecting admin. OK then ... Daniel Case (talk) 03:03, 2 February 2025 (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.
