Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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 | ||

Reason: Editing war by IP users that changes his IP. He was originally block due his conduct here. He kept changing his IP to evade block and kept editing using IP's 83.determined mostly on the above articles talk pages, on of his talk page (and also on Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk 17 of march) mostly attacking other users. One of the IP's was taken to ANI and determined to be a sock (User talk:83.142.111.2). He keeps edit warring trying to reinstate content written during the block and that seeks conflict and just that.Rpo.castro (talk) 09:15, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
I’d like to point out that the it is the talk pages of these articles that the IP keeps disrupting with their most recent edits.Tvx1 12:08, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:59, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- @HJ Mitchell, they have tried to reinstate their disruptive talk page post again today. See for instance here. Tvx1 17:51, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated IP attempts to link subject to two sports teams moving out of her city, despite lack of references making that link. Recent surge, but we were seeing it at least as far back as last April, so perhaps more than a few days is called for. Nat Gertler (talk) 17:04, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: 2603:8001:B400:0:0:0:0:0/38 (talk · contribs) blocked by Favonian. From page for a year. Daniel Case (talk) 17:43, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Low level but constant vandalism since at least September 2023 on the naming of King Munmu of Silla. The edits are constantly from IP addresses and revert the name from Munmu of Silla to Munmu the Great. While this could be a topic of discussion given Munmu's role in Korean history, the IP does not bother engaging with other users. Sunnyediting99 (talk) 18:30, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Vandalism. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 19:59, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. Since 14 March 2025 Jiltedsquirrel 🌰 (talk || contribs) 20:34, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism. See previous request in archive for more details. This vandalism continued after I made the first request. 47.51.12.122 (talk) 20:50, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:58, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.
Unprotection: 14 years of protection with little vandalism or disruption. Thepharoah17 (talk) 23:34, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Black Kite: pinging protecting admin. Daniel Case (talk) 02:30, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Page has been protected for about 15 years now, I think we can try pending changes Filmssssssssssss (talk) 16:03, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Courcelles, the protecting admin, hasn't been active for a couple of months, so I would let him weigh in if he decides to, but I would also note that in roughly that same time span there has been vandalism that got editors indeffed. Daniel Case (talk) 17:47, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Seconded. Some of the less constructive edits were by socks of a very "persistent" editor. Favonian (talk) 18:02, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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.
in the section Uncontroversial technical requests, put {{subst:RMassist|Eclipse (software)|Eclipse (IDE)reason="software" says nothing about what it does}} - 2600:4040:AE89:A00:6CE3:2E6F:4377:C354 (talk) 18:16, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
There are citations needed for the section "For the fiscal year 2021, Amazon reported earnings of US$33.36 billion, with an annual revenue of US$469.82 billion, an increase of 21.7% over the previous fiscal cycle. Since 2007 sales increased from 14.835 billion to 469.822 billion, due to continued business expansion.[citation needed]"
I have found three references from bloggingwizard, investing.com and wallstreetnumbers.com that back those claims but I don't have permissions to add them.
For some reason I can't add full URLs here because I get a "spamblacklist" but happy to share. Joanfihu (talk) 15:43, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Investing.com is locally blacklisted. The other two don't seem to be on the local or global blacklists. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:14, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Replace Category:2000s American animated television series to Category:2000s American animated comedy television series and Category:2010s American animated television series to Category:2010s American animated comedy television series. 181.226.156.74 (talk) 20:20, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Add Category:British English-language television shows, as this show is originally in English and originated from the United Kingdom. 181.226.156.74 (talk) 20:21, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
