Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| 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.

Waltz with Bashir
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Israeli historical film about an Israeli soldier's witnessing of a massacre of Palestinian refugees by a Lebanese military group. Needs protection under ARBPIA. Air on White (talk) 20:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:32, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism over at least one month. Air on White (talk) 04:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Question: @Air on White: Which specific edits are vandalism and why? (Other administrators, please feel free to handle this request after a response or if you believe you have enough information already.) Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:11, 29 May 2024 (UTC)- Most recent edits add content that does not improve the article while introducing MoS vios that they refuse to discuss even after being reverted. Meanwhile, [1] is an unsourced change. These editors have engaged in disruptive editing and several have been blocked. Air on White (talk) 04:27, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The one edit you've linked is from May 9th. I'm going to protect the article because there's IP block evasion from a blocked editor, but this would be a declined request otherwise. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:56, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: @Daniel Quinlan: One or more pages in this request have not been protected.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 05:20, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The one-month and two-month PP protected from IP vandalism, but each time it started back up again one week after the protection ended. It is the same specific vandalism each time and is being driven by a popular youtuber who is a self-described enemy of the BLP subject. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 05:22, 29 May 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.
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
Fortune Global 500
Hello everyone. I kindly ask you if it is possible to make a specific section of the "Fortune Global 500" page non-editable and specifically "Breakdown by country/territory". I kindly ask you to read the talk page of the page. In the last month there have been continuous attempts at editing CONTRARY to the fundamental principles of Wikipedia.
Specifically, the SOURCE cited "Global 500". Fortunes. Retrieved October 23, 2023" EXPLICITLY indicates that, for 2023, the United States is first with 136 companies and China is second with 135 companies.
Some editors continue to change the figure to indicate that China has 142 companies. In fact, they add 7 Taiwanese companies to the 135 companies in China.
However, this is contrary to what is reported in the SOURCE and allows a POLITICALLY MOTIVATED SUBJECTIVE POINT OF VIEW to prevail.
Taiwan is considered a territory and therefore its companies should not be added to those of China.
I therefore ask you to leave the data for 136 companies for the United States and 135 for China unchanged and ineditable.
This request is driven only by technical considerations, relating to RESPECT for the principles of Wikipedia and not political ones. In fact, Taiwan is not a de jure country.
Thank you. Chrisques5 (talk) 23:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Chrisques5: Protection is page-level and cannot be done for specific sections. Even if this were possible, you requested this on the page for requesting edits for the page. You want to request protection at WP:RFPP/I. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 23:20, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
Not done. As mentioned by Jéské Couriano, this is not possible. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:01, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Miss Arizona USA
Hello! I am hoping someone is able to assist me in updated the 2024 Miss Arizona USA's name on the winners list. Her legal name is actually just the letter K, however someone posted Kristina which is incorrect. If you refer to the Miss Arizona USA's social media pages you can see they also have her name listed as just the letter K.
If you need any communications from Miss Arizona USA herself, please let me know.
Thank you! Drlopez3129 (talk) 20:45, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Not done. We would need a reliable source such as a newspaper story to make this change. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:07, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
