    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.

    Daniele Ganser

    Reason: Temporary semi-protection - Slow-motion edit war over adding an (unsourced) claim that subject is best known for being a pacifist; see WP:TH#Last edit on Daniele Ganser's wikipedia, WP:TH#Please add "being a pacifist" to Daniele Gansers wikipedias' page, User talk:155.190.35.4#Help me! for a small sample of the users/IPs pushing this. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:46, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    His Story of Itihaas

    Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Persistent WP:Disruptive editing, as well as consistent violations of WP:NPOV and WP:OR, by IP, newly registered editors, and newly registered and confirmed editors. The article's edit history is just editors having to revert the disruptive and violating changes again and again. EarthDude (talk) 03:36, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This article is less than a month old and has no prior protection history. The only recent disrupter was just indef blocked. BusterD (talk) 03:02, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks a lot! I guess extended confirmed might have been overkill haha. I hope this fixes the problem EarthDude (talk) 03:54, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Running Man episodes (2025)

    Reason: people who vandalize adding nonsense info that aren't confirmed like adding Kpop girl group Aespa on the "guest(s)" when there's no news about Aespa appearing on running man as per today like between every week or every month. FirePhoenix08 (talk) 04:52, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    John C. Hull (politician)

    Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – An IP from Texas has been adding the same paragraph of unsupported text for years. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:04, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Shimelis Abdisa

    Reason: High level of Vandalism in my edits Eshaan the writer (talk) 04:26, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Penang

    Reason: Persistent disruptive editing and edit-warring from IP, replacing prose with one that is incorrect grammatically. hundenvonPG (talk) 04:40, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    It is cited using the latest 2020 survey, instead hundenvonPG insisted using data from more than 10 years ago.

    Dinesh Chandra Majumdar

    Reason: To prevent any further and future disruptive editing Eshaan the writer (talk) 04:53, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Brazilian Portuguese

    Change the current edit protection status to temporary semi-protection (for 1 week) to prevent disruptive editing by registered users, including User:Likebr 20. Like56d (talk) 05:00, 7 July 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.

    Chicago Bears

    Reason: Reduce to indefinite semi-protection since no other NFL teams' pages are ECP (been in place for 4 years), feels a bit unfair to new users who actually have good edits to make on the team. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 19:10, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pinging @El C Daniel Case (talk) 02:33, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Daniel Case I don't think this username administrator El C is active anymore it has not responded for 3 days according to request lower protection or unprotection says if who ever is no longer administrator, inactive or doesn't respond it can be appeal unless is active then we have to contact username administrator who protect the page. 47.21.195.98 (talk) 04:07, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    El C edits somewhat sporadically. Be patient. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:11, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Flipline Studios

    Reason: This page was protected by User:RHaworth, who is no longer an administrator. Now that my draft article, Draft:Flipline Studios, has been merged into Papa Louie, I want to use this title as a redirect to that article. I want the creation protection removed. EJPPhilippines (talk) 08:50, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Angry Birds Fight!

    Reason: This article has been subject to large amounts of vandalism, but indefinite template protection seems either unnecessary or a bit too much. The article still has some problems to be addressed, and I'm currently working on a rewrite. I would suggest that it be changed to pending changes protection. Signed, SleepyRedHair. (talk - contribs) 15:19, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Have a look through the page history and suggest how to stop that vandalbot with other means? It hops over open proxies, so CU/rangeblocking is not effective. Extended-confirmed protection didn't work. Materialscientist (talk) 16:54, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Looking at the history it looks like ECP did work; there were no reverted edits during the ECP period of 17 May to 17 June. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:24, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    (Non-administrator comment) Another period of ECP from 10 to 17 May also yielded no vandalism, but it started right back up the minute this expired. Agree with long-term ECP with the opportunity to bump back up to template protection if any more vandalism comes along. Entranced98 (talk) 22:14, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hyphen-minus

    Extended confirmed protection: Extended confirmed should be sufficient for this level of page. It is rare for a Wikipedia article to be template protected. Interstellarity (talk) 23:42, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Interstellarity I don't think that is a good idea to Lower it to Extended Comfirmed Protection. The Person that created User:Ujivxbn would probably create another account and will Gaming the system to Get Extend Confirm Rights to Vandalize Hyphen-minus. That why it should remain Template Protected Until September 2025. Untamed1910 (talk) 00:24, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Untamed1910: OK, I see. This is my first time seeing an actual Wikipedia article under template protection, so I appreciate you clarifying this. I'll let an admin decide what to do with the page. Interstellarity (talk) 00:32, 7 July 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.

    Helyeh Doutaghi

    Please undo the revert done by Astaire at 20:03, 4 July 2025 as it reverted all its previous changes regarding Doutaghi's academic work, and fixes for the dead links in the article. TechVerdict (talk) 23:37, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
