Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
 | This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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 | ||

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1157#IP_editor_adds_unsourced_content_to_JP_writing_system_articles. Since AIV refuses to act we just need to protect all the pages this guy touches. Nickps (talk) 12:14, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Significant IP vandalism by multiple different IP users. IceBergYYC (talk) 14:00, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Editors going back and forth between present and past tense. This should be temporary until it is confirmed Redbox has ceased operations. MikeM2011 (talk) 14:06, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent unexplained content removal and a lot of disruptive editing by anonymous users. The Media Expert (talk) 14:20, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – IP user persistently adding unsourced content to article. Hamtechperson 14:23, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- The same IP user is also adding unsourced content to related article Lauren Ambrose (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). Hamtechperson 14:29, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Same edit warring IP-hopping sock that lead to the previous page protection retuned making the same junk edits. Reverted again, but based on past persistence I doubt that the problematic editor will just leave it alone. oknazevad (talk) 14:27, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Persistent unsourced references to this BLP and disruptive editing by an IP-hopping mega-fan since 11:16, 13 August 2023, despite multiple warnings. Panian513 15:12, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Constant vandalism by Lampung IP user InsidePitch 48 (talk) 15:51, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. AntiDionysius (talk) 16:05, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

- 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 20:57, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- I want the page to be extended protected so people won’t vandalize it 2600:100C:B04C:F64E:5917:D340:6601:106C (talk) 21:02, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. 7/24 was three days ago. At present, semi-protection looks sufficient. Favonian (talk) 21:03, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – "Tommy Robinson" is in the news currently and his acolytes are adding untruths to this page. I predict this will be for a short while, but an ounce of prevention is better than cure. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:38, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – by IP addresses. Alan Charlotte (talk) 21:39, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.
Reason: Because it's not even possible to talk to the admin given their talk page is protected. Bespeak (talk) 19:57, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not unprotected – Your time would be better spent addressing the complaint at WP:ANI#Bespeak and undue edits on Sissy hypno. Favonian (talk) 20:02, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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.
In "Early life and education", the article says "In 2003 she enrolled at the University of Mississippi". The source for that paragraph as archived (https://archive.ph/ek0sE) states that she "dropped out for good in 2001".
I suggest changing "In 2003 she enrolled..." to something like "She enrolled at the University of Mississippi, studying journalism and political science and writing for The Daily Mississippian, but left the school in 2001." Or of course, add a source for her enrolling in 2003. Elizabeth Internet (talk) 06:56, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
To add a section with the template {{edit protected}}: To add "Hong Kong since 27 July 2024" to the first paragraph of the article, based on the following sources: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. 119.237.212.104 (talk) 14:53, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
