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 | ||

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – WP:LTA/BTSZ has been causing problems again. Protection recently expired. Note the length of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Belteshazzar/Archive. Leijurv (talk) 21:27, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – WP:LTA/BTSZ has been causing problems again. Protection recently expired. Note the length of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Belteshazzar/Archive. Leijurv (talk) 21:27, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Jet Pilot (talk) 22:29, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Continued addition of incorrect information by a range of IP addresses. DH85868993 (talk) 22:42, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: A lot of IP and SPA (including sockpuppeteers) vandalism in recent weeks, particularly over the subject's nationality, including users arguing that he is not French because of his ethnicity. Subject is a racing driver with an ongoing move to Formula One (debuts in March). MB2437 22:46, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Bing and other sites recently posted articles of a crocodile related to him that died earlier yesterday, people keep thinking he died, incorrectly. EF5 23:19, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Temporary full protection: Persistent vandalism – Doxxing and vandalism, User:SpaceFan1233 keep adding private info in one of the edits even after the page got protected, the user also added a "good article" template for no reason on the page. Http iosue (talk) 23:27, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- again, same with last time, can you delete the revision history too. Http iosue (talk) 23:31, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent IP WP:BLOCKEVASION. HistoryofIran (talk) 23:30, 23 December 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 23:34, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent vandalism Wowzers122 (talk) 00:15, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Since Saturday there have been repeated IP changes to this page with incorrect information regarding the outcome of his latest boxing boot. A short period of page protection may hopefully bring and end to this. Shrug02 (talk) 00:59, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: "Far-right" descriptor in lead has been repeatedly removed by IPs Firecat93 (talk) 01:10, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- (As well as new, non-semi protected users, such as this revision on 12/14/2024: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marine_Le_Pen&diff=prev&oldid=1263104515) Firecat93 (talk) 01:11, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Someone is bearing a grudge, switching IP every day to vandalize the article. Previous protections were for three months, obviously not long enough for the vandal to cool down. Chrisahn (talk) 01:49, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- List of countries and territories where German is an official language (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – There seems to be a rampant sockpuppet situation going on here. We need at least to have a breath to figure out what's going on. There are multiple accounts making the same edits to delete established content or add specious material. Largoplazo (talk) 01:52, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.
Reason: Protection is too high and it was for sockpuppetry in 2018. It's nearly 2025 now so if it needs protecting just do pending changes or semi-protection but unprotection would be better I think. 147.10.234.99 (talk) 23:19, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Pinging protecting admin User:Ponyo, who might or might not wish to have input. I looked at the history of disruption and it looks pretty bad. I'm inclined to give semi protection a shot (this would eliminate 95% of the disruption in page history), but I'd rather hear from the sysop who made the call first. BusterD (talk) 14:24, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Unprotection: The action of semiprotecting this article was back in 2011, and the edit summary says something about an OTRS ticket from 2008 - regardless, the article has little views and littler edits, so I think page protection now is unnecessary. LR.127 (talk) 23:09, 23 December 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.

Hayden Panettiere artricle: Joe Somebody (2001) with Tim Allen
Why have you unreverted my revision on the Hayden Panettiere artricle by removing Joe Somebody (2001) with Tim Allen? 86.130.33.243 (talk) 22:31, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notification, Jéské Couriano. Because of long term abuse, my talk page is edit protected. As stated on top of this page, you could've easily used Talk: Hayden Panettiere to start a discussion and could've mentioned me there. A lead of a biographical article is supposed to mention the most important bits. Joe Somebody is not culturally or commercially significant and has had no impact upon her career. Besides, why did you undo my revision in the first place? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 20:32, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- I have used Talk: Hayden Panettiere. And Joe Somebody may have received negative reviews but one award nomination went to Panettiere. And that should be on Disney+ UK. As well as Raising Helen and Tiger Cruise. 86.130.33.243 (talk) 23:41, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Not done for the reasons explained above. Favonian (talk) 21:01, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Change his 2021 portrait to a newer one. Contact me further on my talk page to question this. 2601:483:400:1CD0:9C73:48C7:B39B:6E31 (talk) 18:58, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- That assumes we have a newer one to use. Unless it's uploaded to Commons we can't use a newer image; if a newer one does exist on Commons you need to link it here. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 19:01, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
