Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    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.

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Sush150 (talk) 05:30, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Cravath, Swaine & Moore

    Reason: Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content, and sockpuppetry. Richessehonk (talk) 09:02, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. While this is my independent assessment, I also note there have been no edits to the article since Daniel Case declined the previous request Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 17:07, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: War of edits by a member with an IP address. Incall talk 10:59, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Incall: Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Abecedare (talk) 23:56, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Rabat–Salé Airport

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – A few days semi-protection is hopefully enough to let the IP-hopper read the argumentation that I give for the removal of its unsourced edits. IP is now cranky and moving towards PAs. The Banner talk 11:18, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Air Algérie

    Battle of Rezang La

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruption from an IP hopper, claiming "Indian victory" and pushing Ahir (social group) bravado. Kautilya3 (talk) 12:40, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The Testaments

    Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Taffer😊💬(she/they) 13:59, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Centre Port

    Reason: Both a registered user and several IP addresses keep removing cited information from this article. The issue revolves around a section where Centrica announced their support for the project in the early days. Through edit summaries, and on the registered users' talk page (Jamessutcliffe), I have asked they they do not remove the information, but update the article to state that Centrica supported it at the start, but now do not because of whatever the reason is that they have changed their minds. At least three other users (Bored kittycat, TheM1sty, and im really bad at this) besides myself, all agree the information should be retained and amended in the prose to reflect the now lack of support.

    Thanks for considering this. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 14:31, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2024–25 United States network television schedule

    Clothing_laws_by_country

    Reason: Edit war in the UK section. The section keeps being replaced with the assertion that "There are no clothing laws in the UK". First instance at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Clothing_laws_by_country&diff=1285216953&oldid=1256740048 CiceroYuletide (talk) 21:52, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Full protection: High level of IP vandalism and edit war. The IP in question is also a suspected sock. Peja mapping (talk) 10:32, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: This article is related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a contentious topic. Iranian112 (talk) 10:54, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Operation Kedem

    Reason: This article is related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a contentious topic. Iranian112 (talk) 10:59, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Peter Barnes (playwright)

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism for 3 years. Multiple IPs (47.229.171.222, 172.56.169.121, 212.114.251.53, 12.245.61.70, 32.142.50.118, 50.207.235.195, 97.68.255.154) have launched a persistent campaign over years. Moderator said it didn't have enough recent activity to justify protection but it was most recently vandalized on April 3rd by 97.68.255.154. It's sneaky vandalism like "as he was unable to be accepted by a real university" that is going unnoticed by editors and moderators for months. Or when editors do catch it they don't catch all of the vandalism. 38.42.65.129 (talk) 11:04, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 11:13, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      I don't think the moderator saw the most recent vandalism. He said the last case of vandalism was in September so there was "not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection." But there have been multiple edits vandalizing the page since then in February and in April. 38.42.65.129 (talk) 11:30, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Operation GYS

    Reason: This article is related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a contentious topic. Iranian112 (talk) 11:04, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: This article is related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a contentious topic. Iranian112 (talk) 11:08, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Guts World Tour

    Temporary semi-protection: IP edit warring – IP persistently removing content while a discussion regarding it is ongoing at Talk:Guts World Tour. HorrorLover555 (talk) 11:25, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Mrkonjić Grad incident

    Reason: Redirect could use page protection. One IP already got blocked as a proxy and I expect more disruption from proxies. There has been also sockpuppetry. StephenMacky1 (talk) 11:39, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Jimmy Sheirgill

    Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content. Waxworker (talk) 12:28, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Category:Spore (2008 video game)

    Reason: I don't know if categories are generally brought to RfPP, but just check the page history on this and there's many, many IP edits trying to replace this with the content of unrelated pages. Seemingly a bot effort. ⫷doozy (talk▮contribs)⫸ 13:06, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Crash Bandicoot

    Reason: Disruptive IP editing; consistently changes language to nonsensical (and incorrect) in-universe perspective despite warnings. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 13:12, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Y: The Last Man

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Same vandalism from same IP range has resumed after expiration of previous protection. MrOllie (talk) 13:23, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Suniel Shetty

    Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content. Waxworker (talk) 13:35, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Likely by the same person. The article was blocked last year for the very same reason. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:23, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Mai Fuchigami

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Not sure if this should have permanent protection, but edit history suggests that there is persistent edit-warring/vandalism/disruptive editing. Onel5969 TT me 13:59, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Killing of Austin Metcalf

    Reason: The name of the minor accused of the Killing of Austin Metcalf who has not been convicted keeps getting added to multiple locations on Wikipedia. It has been reported at WP:BLPN, but keeps getting added. -- Jax 0677 (talk) 14:26, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Doechii

    Reason: High level of recent IP vandalism. CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 15:17, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Homeland Party (United Kingdom)

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Article of an extremist political party in the UK (splinter of an out and out neo-Nazi group); repreatedly targetted by party members to downlay this very fact (see Talk:Homeland Party (United Kingdom)#Ideology, including the party founder himself). Jad previously requested a PP as well but there now appears to be a renewed effort to disregard consensus by COI editors (new single-purpose accounts) who participated in the dicussion themselves in the Talk page. Asking for a midterm ECP, as I don't see the targeted disruption stopping anytime soon (going on for over an year now). Gotitbro (talk) 16:30, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2025 Gujarat Titans season

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Addition of WP:COMMENTARY. Vestrian24Bio 16:42, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    VMRO-DPMNE

    Reason: Persistent IP-vandalism. Jingiby (talk) 16:46, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Second this. IP disruption has continued, even after IPs got blocked. StephenMacky1 (talk) 16:51, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Sweet Talker (Jessie J album)

    Reason: Sorry to rewrite this, but the previous request was ignored. This page is being targeted by several Turkish IPs, clearly sockpuppets of MariaJaydHicky Blueberry72 (talk) 22:40, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Christianity in India

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – IP number and regular user in an edit war. Talk page is getting acrimonious (mostly but not solely on the IP side). Erp (talk) 23:12, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Font

    Reason: Disruptive edits per IP range (debating on spelling)

    Chris Van Hollen

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Needs protection again - this time for an extended temporary period. Article subject is in the news and a spate of vandalism edits from IPs, new accounts, etc. has recurred. Geoff | Who, me? 23:29, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Abecedare (talk) 23:39, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Uri, Jammu and Kashmir

    Reason: Recurring vandalism by unregistered users. Although not highly frequent, the edits are disruptive and persistent enough to warrant semi-protection. Sid Prayag (talk) 23:51, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of trans-Neptunian objects

    Temporary semi-protection -- Since February, multiple IPs are used to evade a block for sockpuppetry (1, 2), always to edit this specific article (the last three IPs who edited the article all belong to the same blocked user). The edits had previously resulted in multiple discussions at AN/I, due to wrong/misleading information being added, often in ways that are very hard to recognize. I hope that a protection for, say, a few months may deter them from trying again. Renerpho (talk) 23:56, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The article has been semi-protected for a week in February, for the same reason. The user has since returned. Renerpho (talk) 23:59, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Scuderia Ferrari

    Reason: Persistent disruptive editing (removal of sourced content). Requesting longer protection than last time - less than 6 hours after the most recent protection expired, the disruptive editing recurred. DH85868993 (talk) 00:17, 20 April 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.

    I don't know all the shows of this actor. I can't request a refund of the earlier drafts because they seem to be created by socks. So can the deleted version of this article be restored to draftspace? Iamaninnocentsoul (talk) 15:57, 19 April 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.
