    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.

    Slash (musician)

    Reason: IP-hopping vandal. Previous protection was for a week. I think longer protection would be in order. — Chrisahn (talk) 07:22, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Since PC was imposed there has been one disruptive edit, and that IP has been blocked. Daniel Case (talk) 03:39, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Zakk Wylde discography

    Reason: IP-hopping vandal. Other pages affected by this vandal have been protected for a week or so, but the vandal returns with a new IP (VPN) as soon as protection expires. Maybe longer protection would help. — Chrisahn (talk) 07:26, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Squid Game characters

    Reason: Requesting temporary semi-protection due to recent IP vandalism over the past few days Reconrabbit 12:11, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Seems to have been more serious three days ago. Daniel Case (talk) 03:46, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Daaku Maharaaj

    Reason: High IP vandalism changing boxoffice figures without reliable source and changing the title of the existing source. Please protect page. RangersRus (talk) 15:31, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I know it's getting a lot of attention right now but I do not see much reverting going on. Daniel Case (talk) 04:08, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Moshe Chalava

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Plasticwonder (talk) 15:31, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. And since it's been nominated for deletion, it would need to be pretty blatant disruption as we usually want to make it possible for editors to do what is necessary to get it kept if they want. Daniel Case (talk) 04:10, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for clarifying! Plasticwonder (talk) 04:56, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 16:43, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I don't think we need to shut down every project page that this LTA posts on. At least this one makes it easy to spot the latest IP they're using. --Ahecht (TALK
    PAGE    )     22:04, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined per above. Daniel Case (talk) 04:18, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Madha Gaja Raja

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Financial vandalism. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:38, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 04:22, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Samson Option

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Should be ECP due to being relevant to WP:ARBPIA. Smallangryplanet (talk) 20:01, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    This isn't vandalism, but a content dispute, and you didn't abide by WP:ONUS: "The responsibility for achieving consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content." — Chrisahn (talk) 21:43, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined per above. Daniel Case (talk) 04:26, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2025 Polish presidential election

    Reason: Again inflow of ips vandalizing the page (46.112.114.3 and 46.112.92.134, seem to be the same person) Polish kurd (talk) 22:16, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. And those IPs could well be the same person, yes—on a dynamic IP assigned by their ISP. The use of different IPs does not always show intent to deceive.

    Will leave CTOPS notice on talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 04:30, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Oops, I did that a while back. Daniel Case (talk) 04:31, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kardashian family

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Cassiopeia talk 22:21, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There were just two edits today and they haven't continued since their level 2 warning. Really, AIV would be better if they keep going.

    But, I will leave a CTOPS notice on the talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 04:33, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Cigarettes and Valentines

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent disruptive editing by same editor at varying I.P addresses. Flat Out (talk) 00:38, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 2600:100F:B1E8:38BF:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs) blocked by Izno. for 31 hours. Daniel Case (talk) 04:40, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Better Man (film)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – continued vandalism; see 1, 2. Happily888 (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Those seem to be the only two incidents. Daniel Case (talk) 04:46, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Farhat Abbas

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism 3 weeks after last page protection expired. –twotwofourtysix(talk || edits) 06:00, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    America's Got Talent season 5

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Far too popular with the socks with disruptive mass changes/multiple changes. Zinnober9 (talk) 06:18, 16 January 2025 (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.

    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.
