    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.

    Ben Wilson (footballer, born 1992)

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – For months, incorrect edits have been made on page, to which I have reverted and updated properly. I have warned user each time, however the IP address changes slightly each time. This is highly disruptive as it means currently reverting approximately edits each week and then having to re-edit. These details can be found on history page. I am also requesting this protection for each Coventry City player for the near future. Telfordbuck (talk) 18:23, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    for a week. Daniel Case (talk) 20:48, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Also, pages aren't protected preemptively. Are you referring to the right page, there haven't been any edits to this article since October? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:47, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:When the Phone Rings

    Indefinite Semi Protection: Persistent vandalism and hate speech from IP users regarding recent real life issues in talk section. CricketXP (talk) 03:43, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 09:38, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kaatera

    Indefinite Semi Protection: Persistent vandalism from IP users regarding box office collection, daily ip users disrputive editing on article .

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Lectonar (talk) 08:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2012 in Wales

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Block evasion by User:Bigboss19923, same overemphasis on a murder case as led to the previous protection. Belbury (talk) 10:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:00, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Ryujin (rapper)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP user won't stop vandalizing the article. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 11:29, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Lectonar (talk) 11:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    HEC Paris

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – I would like to request long-term protection (~1 year or more) because of UPE/sock activity from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/BobVillars. Pinging Izno. Janhrach (talk) 11:53, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Please also protect Institut Sup'Biotech de Paris, for the same reason. Janhrach (talk) 11:58, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Lectonar (talk) 12:04, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I haven't protected the other article, because editing activity is very low. If another admin sees the need to protect: be my guest. Lectonar (talk) 12:06, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks! Janhrach (talk) 13:08, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Prabir Mitra

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP vandalism after his recent death. Niasoh ❯❯❯ Wanna chat? 12:44, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined I think this is moot now with his death being reliably sourced. Lectonar (talk) 13:20, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Justin Trudeau

    Reason: Some editors have been prematurely editing in that Trudeau is about to resign. To date, the prime minister hasn't made such an annoucement. GoodDay (talk) 12:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected. Lectonar (talk) 13:19, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Narayana

    Reason: Request for "extended confirmed protection" for atleast a year. Continuous vandalism everyday by a sockpuppet from months. Hbanm (talk) 13:44, 6 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.

    Gaza genocide

    Genocide Watch states that: „A genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel is underway in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister General Yoav Gallant have demonstrated their intent to destroy a substantial portion of the civilian population of Gaza. Israel is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza. It is also committing crimes against humanity against Palestinians in the West Bank.” See https://www.genocidewatch.com/single-post/genocide-emergency-gaza-and-the-west-bank-2024 This information should be added to first paragraph of Gaza_genocide#NGOs_and_intergovernmental_organisations Jakub Onderka (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
