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.

Current requests for increase in protection level
Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Reason: Multiple IPs edit warring. 88.97.192.42 (talk) 18:17, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
- Semi-protection would keep you from editing. Are you OK with that? Daniel Case (talk) 01:51, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
Reason: One IP address constantly vandalizing the page GiraffeLover19 (talk) 16:18, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. They haven't edited since getting a level 3 warning. Daniel Case (talk) 03:43, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Repeated vandalism and low-quality edits from IP users. Signed, SleepyRedHair. (talk - contribs) 16:28, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Nothing's been reverted for almost a month. Daniel Case (talk) 03:45, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Sushidude21! (talk) 21:43, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Just those two edits today after almost three months of inactivity. Daniel Case (talk) 03:46, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Skitash (talk) 22:36, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: 198.96.83.4/30 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. from page and Ali Abdullah Saleh for a week. Daniel Case (talk) 03:53, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. FMSky (talk) 00:09, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- User(s) blocked: 2803:6000:E001:B89:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for two weeks. Daniel Case (talk) 03:59, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Recent non-constructive edit of a living person. Srich0731 (talk) 04:05, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
Reason: High Level of IP disruptive editing. I am almost certain the edits are being made in good faith. Several IPS are updating stats which is great, but there it is generally agreed on at WP:Cricket to not update stats until a match has ended. I suggest semi-protection for 4 or 5 days as the Test will definitely be done by then. Thank you Servite et contribuere (talk) 04:38, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Removing of image, censorship. Dronebogus (talk) 05:42, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP keeps attempting to delete the page without discussion. Now discussion is occurring. DonIago (talk) 06:22, 4 July 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.
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)

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.
Please correct the Iranian civilian casualties in paragraph three. First it was changed without reason from 200 to 600. Then someone changed and separated the estimate by Human Rights Activists in Iran News Agency (HRANA) estimate to be over 1,100 civilians killed which is conflating all deaths with civilians. No source was added to support this. The sources currently listed next to these sentences actually say 200 but these are out off date. HRANA's latest figure is actually 431 civilians killed. The source is presently used in the infobox for their own estimate of 1,190 total deaths. The Iranian government hasn't released updated figures so that should be removed until they have an estimate. I suggest adding the following sentence:
"According to the anti-government Human Rights Activists in Iran News Agency, 1,190 Iranians were killed including at least 431 civilians."
