    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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Nardog (talk) 09:57, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Question: @Nardog: I may be missing some context here but what makes these edits vandalism? - Aoidh (talk) 17:30, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Aoidh: I may be missing something too, but it looks more like edit warring including a 3RR violation. In addition, there are bitey warnings and edit summaries that completely fail to explain anything. Even if something is wrong with the edits, WP:3RRNO has not been followed because it's not obvious vandalism and no exemption has been claimed. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:42, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Daniel Quinlan: That's basically where I'm at, if there's vandalism there's no explanation of how it is vandalism anywhere I can find. This looks like a content dispute where 3RR has been violated on both sides, and while the IP hasn't received any sort of edit warring notice, Nardog has participated at ANEW enough to be aware of the edit warring policy. I'm leaning towards blocking Nardog for 24 hours and semi-protecting the page for that same time period absent a reason why that's not ideal. - Aoidh (talk) 21:56, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Aoidh: I think we're on the same page, no objections. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:10, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Done. Since the IP currently has no reason to revert I'll hold off on semi-protecting the page until there's a reason to do so, but I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks. - Aoidh (talk) 22:12, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Looks like a content dispute to me, but perhaps I do not understand what is wrong with the anonymous user's suggested IPA pronunciation. Malinaccier (talk) 20:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not done. Closing request for the bot (see above discussion). Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:25, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The Acolyte (TV series)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Lots of disruptive IP changes. Apparently this is an internet thing at the moment. Nemov (talk) 17:54, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. While the article is getting heavily edited (surprise: it's a new show in the Star Wars franchise), I don't see disruption overwhelming the editors currently. Daniel Case (talk) 19:28, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Michael Mosley (broadcaster)

    Reason: This person has recently been declared missing in Greece. He is a British television presenter and the page keeps getting vandalised. It is an active missing persons case which is attracting media attention in the UK. Would it meet the eligibility to be protected? Svampesky (talk) 19:37, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. IP users adding unsourced or poorly-sourced info on a breaking news event is not, IMO, the same thing as vandalism (Of course, other admins may differ). Daniel Case (talk) 19:38, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay. Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep an eye on the page because it is facing a little bit of vandalism, per Special:Diff/1227607970. What's the threshold of vandalism on a page for protection to be re-requested? Svampesky (talk) 19:44, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment: It may be classed as the insertion of unsourced content (or disruptive editing) rather than specifically vandalism, but in the last 24 hours there have been many of these unsourced edits in the article by IPs, which in my view violate WP:BLP guidelines. Perhaps, therefore, admins such as Daniel Case may be able to reconsider if temporary pending changes (or another form of temporary protection) would be beneficial to deal with these ongoing unsourced edits and BLP violations. Regards, Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 22:22, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If the level of disruption due to unsourced edits and vandalism increases, someone can submit a new request and we'll reconsider at that time. Things seem to have calmed down a bit on the article although that may just be due to the time of day. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:11, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Basanth Sadasivan

    Reason: High level of vandalism by unidentified user Teddybrutus (talk) 20:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Malinaccier (talk) 20:59, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Joe Pavelski

    Temporary semi-protection: News broke that he's likely retiring, but Pavelski himself stated that it's not official yet, meaning that we don't note him as retired. A multitude of non-EC editors, however, seem to disagree. The Kip (contribs) 20:58, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:56, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Jeanne Córdova

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Bio has become target of vandalism in 24 hrs. Legit editors are having to whac-a-mole the problem. Pyxis Solitary (yak yak). Ol' homo. 23:10, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:13, 6 June 2024 (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 at 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.

    Israel-Hamas War

    I would like to request that... (the map be updated to show that Israel now controls the entire Gaza-Egypt border) . LordOfWalruses (talk) 15:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @LordOfWalruses this is not the place. Contentious topics should not be unprotected. 48JCLTALK 12:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @48JCL: Unregistered and non-extended-confirmed editors are allowed to request edits to ARBPIA pages here. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The talk page Talk:Israel-Hamas War is protected, therefore edit requests by non-extended-confirmed users land here. That is acceptable, and this request made above is reasonable. The people who actually do participate on that talk page should be reviewing requests here that remain open and haven't been declined for days. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    So basically, I shouldn’t request an edit here but I should request an edit at the talk page (and the same goes for future edit requests)? LordOfWalruses (talk) 12:40, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @LordOfWalruses:, it is unusual for talk pages within scope of the WP:PIA remedies to be extendedconfirmed protected (). That normally only happens after a high level of disruption. You can normally submit edit requests to talk pages. Edit requests most likely to succeed are those that are 'Specific, Uncontroversial, Necessary, Sensible' per WP:EDITXY. You can also submit them here if you prefer, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, I think there are arguments in favor of centralizing all edit requests for WP:PIA to a single location as long as active editors add it to their watchlists (which is probably not the case right now to a large extent). Submitting edit requests to an article talk page obviously means that only a subset of the community who happen to have watch listed that particular page are likely to see it.
