    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.

    Extended Confirmed Protection: High level of sock vandalism. ZenDragoX (User) | (Contact) 12:32, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Please enforce WP:CT/IPA IanDBeacon (talk) 13:01, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It doesn't look frequent enough for an increase to ECP. (I did update the CTOPS notice on the talk page to mention the semi-protection, though). Daniel Case (talk) 18:38, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indefinitely. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 18:40, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Stuart Whitman

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Article is the target of an IP-hopper who insists that the subject is still alive. Skywatcher68 (talk) 13:55, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indefinitely. Daniel Case (talk) 18:47, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Veneto

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP editor keeps changing the largest city contrary to our sources, has been reverted by 3 different editors. Uses more than 1 IP-adress. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 14:24, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 16:34, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Keith Gill

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism now that he is back in the news. 164.64.118.102 (talk) 14:27, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Also left CTOPS notice on talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 18:50, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Kerala State Development Corporation for Christian Converts from Scheduled Castes and the Recommended Communities

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Being targeted by Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ksdccandrc. Page otherwise is rarely edited. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 14:36, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: TechSavy002 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. indef. Obvious sock, better to deal with them this way at this point. Daniel Case (talk) 18:56, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Immediate resume of previous-behaviours stemming from previous page block. livelikemusic (TALK!) 14:45, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Which will cover most of the remaining tour dates. Daniel Case (talk) 18:58, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Target of troll. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 15:52, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indefinitely. It was closed as speedy keep and now archived, so there's no reason for almost anyone to edit it and most certainly not an IP. Daniel Case (talk) 19:12, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Avedis Zildjian Company

    Reason: IPs edit war over whether it was historically called "Istanbul" or "Constantinople", including adding editorializing comments into article text. 2620:0:1003:512:A1F0:86FC:6748:91E5 (talk) 17:09, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Looks like some They Might Be Giants fans getting a little carried away. Daniel Case (talk) 19:16, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Gudrun Ure

    Reason: Dubious reports across Twitter, Facebook and Instagram reporting that she has died. As such, lots of IP addresses AND registered users trying to edit her page with a death date, even though no sources currently exist. Would be good if the page can be locked for 24 hours to allow only senior editors to amend it. 80.41.53.42 (talk) 18:12, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 18:32, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Final Destination: Bloodlines

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – ongoing IP addition of unsourced material. Joeyconnick (talk) 18:43, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Greater Khorasan

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Falls within WP:CT/IPA and possibly also WP:CT/IRP. Many drive-by editors who unfortunately have not been constructive and make major changes to the article. Remsense诉 19:00, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will leave CTOPS notice (IPA seems best fit, although this could conceivable come under not only IRP but A-A as well ... the case is slowly building for making almost everything from the Bosporus west to Afghanistan and Pakistan a CTOP area). Not logging yet since this is the first protection in a dozen years. Daniel Case (talk) 19:21, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of armed conflicts involving Poland against Russia

    Reason: A user with a new account continues to undo edits without specifying a reason, although the result is written there, as well as sources that completely refute his additions are indicated.Dushnilkin (talk) 19:10, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Content dispute. Consider dispute resolution. No one's used the talk page yet. I will leave a CTOPS notice on it, but the rest is up to you. Daniel Case (talk) 19:25, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: IP repeatedly replacing cited content with unsourced pov Fieryninja (talk) 19:36, 14 May 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.

    Rebecca Black

    Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because recent revision history does not show excessive disruptive editing within the last few months. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 04:52, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Ping Gfoley4 as the admin who protected in 2011. I assume unprotection would be ok. Johnuniq (talk) 05:04, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment: Are you sure the lack of disruption isn't because of the protection? - Sumanuil. (talk to me)

    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.

    Talk:Israel–Hamas war

    I would like to request the addition of a talk page on the Israel-Hamas war article that points out that the map on said article doesn’t show the Israeli evacuation order from Rafah and should be updated. LordOfWalruses (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not done. This is too vague. It is not clear what you want. Administrators here are not necessarily familiar with the subject article. Your request must be specific and complete, saying exactly what should be changed, and why, and what supports the change you want. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:15, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Israel–Hamas war

    Please alter the following sentence: "Israel's upcoming offensive in Rafah, criticized by the international community, is nearing execution while ceasefire negotiations remain ongoing." However, on the Rafah offensive page, the lede reads "On 6 May 2024, Israel began a military offensive in and around the city of Rafah." Simply put, the Rafah offensive should no longer be characterized in the Israel-Hamas war article as "upcoming" if it is currently ongoing. JohnR1Roberts (talk) 13:31, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Done. Because the administrators who monitor this page aren't involved with that article, it would be easier if you formulated requests in the form "change 'X' to 'Y'". ~Anachronist (talk) 18:11, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
