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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Head of government

    Reason: The page has more than 1000 views per day on average. Some IP and non-confirmed users keep changing the images without valid reason.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Requesting page protection for all calendar years (except the 20th century) for persistent disruptive edits by multiple IPs that begin with "User:2600". Example, adding entries incorrectly here for the year 1869 and for 1455. Unsourced entries for 1848 despite warnings.

    Already protected by administrator Robertsky. Favonian (talk) 15:47, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    LabPlot

    Reason: Request indefinite autoconfirmed or semi-protection. Dlaska, directly affiliated with LabPlot, wrote up a series of comically terrible promotional edits which obviously violated numerous guidelines and policies. When MrOllie undid these, the editor in question and/or their affiliates began using IPs to edit war their way into forcing through the (again completely unacceptable) changes, cast aspersions on MrOllie as "biased" and a "non-contributor" who should be "blocked", and sealion about the merits of their edits. When this strategy didn't work, one of the contributors to LabPlot wrote on the official blog this absolutely unhinged screed demonstrating no idea of or care for how Wikipedia is supposed to work, actively encouraging their followers to brigade, and even linking to a tweet which compared MrOllie by name to the Gestapo. Since then, more IP edits have been made trying to push these asinine changes. It's clear that there's a concerted, bad-faith effort by the LabPlot team to use sock- and meatpuppets to push through ridiculous, promotional changes to the detriment of the project and that they have every intention of pushing them through whenever they can in the hopes that nobody is looking.

    Iran at the Olympics

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – There is an IP user (with dynamic IP) keeps adding unsourced content (which probably breaks other wikipedia guidelines too) and he is not interested in discussing, so I thought making the page semi protected will help.

    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.

    Not done – Reliable sources are a requirement for adding the information. Noobody20061591, you are only three edits away from auto-confirmed status. Once you have attained that, you can make an edit request on the article talk page. Still needs sources, though. Favonian (talk) 11:22, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
