    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.

    Girnar

    Reason: High level of edit warring with a particular user removing well sourced content Expectopatronum30 (talk) 11:59, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    +1 Reason: Constant edit warring and removal of sourced historical information. Nabhas Chandra (talk) 13:01, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: Stormbird (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for 48 hours for violating 3RR in a contentious topic area. Will leave CTOPS notice on talk page. Since this was just a case of one user, it really would have been better reported to ANEW, where the same thing would have happened, but probably faster. Daniel Case (talk) 22:53, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Titin

    Reason: Persistent vandalism from IP Users, especially adding the "fact" that it has long names without good reason.CricketXP (talk) 14:06, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:29, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Lenny Kravitz

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. IP appears to restore changes by 13enedict. They also referred to a talk page discussion recently started by 13enedict (with no other responses). Mellk (talk) 14:27, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    13enedict now appears to leave a comment on my talk page, stating that they will restore the changes if they do not hear from me. Since this looks like WP:LOUTSOCK and they are only focused on this particular article, it might be sufficient to only block them? Mellk (talk) 14:44, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I actually do agree this needs page or at least the section of Early Life needs protection. It is currently in an inaccurate state and User:Mellk is refusing to discuss. 13enedict (talk) 14:52, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:27, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Life Records

    Reason: Persistent unsourced content from IP range Special:Contributions/36.71.136.0/22. The article is about Malaysian record label, but they keep change to "Malaya-Hong Kong-Singapore number one and largest oldest oldies record label owned by Hup Hup Sdn Bhd", as well as their problematic edits without any improvement. 183.171.120.157 (talk) 15:35, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected by administrator Daniel Case. For two weeks. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:21, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Lefty Gunplay

    Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations. Binksternet (talk) 16:52, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Binksternet: Be careful when reverting !
    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.
    Pending-changes protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:21, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Lezgins

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs continually changing figures. Mellk (talk) 17:05, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Toy Story 5

    Reason: Continued addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content, including unconfirmed cast members and characters. The Media Expert (talk) 17:16, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @The Media Expert: Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Seems to be limited to edits from 70.29.21.238 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). Blocks should be preferred to protection; not blocking because they haven't edited in over a day. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:21, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Khetran

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. IP disruption surely by @Satoshi Nakamoto34: soon after the user account's block from the article yesterday. MŠLQr (talk) 17:36, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Vagrdyuy9/Archive

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. C F A 17:43, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Longer period than usual because there's little reason for this to be edited by non-clerks/CUs. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:21, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of war crimes

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Aqurs1 (talk) 18:41, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Not by me. With two users/IPs, protection should not be necessary for now. Request again if they come back, please. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:21, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Movement for Quality Government in Israel

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:CT/A-I. IanDBeacon (talk) 18:56, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 19:43, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Frequency is too low for semi-protection. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:21, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Jamiroquai

    Reason: IPs have been consistently and deliberately disrupting the article which uses British English by replacing "Jamiroquai are" to "Jamiroquai is" and in one case "Jamiroquai be". [7] [8] [9] [10] I fear that this disruption may persist. 웃OO 23:37, 30 January 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.

    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.
