2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC third round

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Jalen Folf (Bark[s]) 05:34, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

List of districts in India

Reason: High level of IP vandalism Excellenc1 (talk) 05:57, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam

Reason: Persistent sock puppetry by Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Srimonbanik2007. This master who has been targeting this article for several months is now using an IP range which was reported many times in the SPI to restore edits of their socks. Requesting protection for some months till the trends of the recent 2024 Indian general elections calms down. Thanks - SUN EYE 1 08:45, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. – robertsky (talk) 14:51, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

2024 Pacific typhoon season

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. HurricaneEdgar 10:23, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Majithia family

Reason: This Page should need an proper protection due to recently some user tried to manipulate the article information which is against the policy of WP:GS/Caste Khalsajudicary (talk) 11:23, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Only one IP disrupting in the last weeks. Lectonar (talk) 11:23, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
The summary of the article has been mentioned bellow you can check it wisely [1] if you guys need any query regarding this issue you can approach me on my talk page Khalsajudicary (talk) 11:29, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. – robertsky (talk) 14:44, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Tosin Adarabioyo

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A lot of disruptive editing. JMHamo (talk) 11:46, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Tahanang Pinakamasaya

Reason: Persistent unconstructive edits from Ip users (persistent usage of wrong grammar, unreferenced edits, not following Manual of Style). Hotwiki (talk) 12:04, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Jannik Sinner

Reason: There has been numerous edits made to edit his ranking from different IP addresses despite there being instructions (if users are in source editor mode) to not edit the ranking until it has been officially posted. Edits has been reverted numerous times. Soafy234 (talk) 12:24, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. – robertsky (talk) 14:54, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Trinamool Congress

Reason: Indefinite Extended confirmed protection. Persistent vandalism. New Users constinously adding ideology or changing political positions without providing adequate source. None of the sources states those idelogy or political positions. This page has been heavily edited particularly the idelogy section in the infobox. Tcspower (talk) 13:00, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Lisa Cameron

Reason: High level of vandalism by accounts which have only ever edited her page, all seeming to paint her to look better. (Xwv9009, EasyEditorNAD, Fortheunion, Fiftyjust12, Edqxb4wz01 all in 2024 alone, after others last year)

Important as in election, has been seeking selection. WorthPoke2 (talk) 13:12, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Hit Me Hard and Soft

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. IPs and newly created accounts keep disrupting the page, adding the same content/information without providing sources dxneo (talk) 13:41, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Krister Isaksen

Temporary full protection: Per WP:PPDRV mwwv converse∫edits 14:01, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Terrorism in Indonesia‎

Reason: Persistent disruption by IP socks of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rembo01. Kathleen's bike (talk) 14:18, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Papua conflict‎

Reason: Persistent disruption by IP socks of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rembo01. Kathleen's bike (talk) 14:18, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Rob Flack

Reason: Individual adding promotional information to a political individual. Looks like the edit edit warred under a registered user name and then started using IP addresses. VVikingTalkEdits 14:20, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Santiago Bernabéu Stadium

Reason: I request protection due to repeated vandalism on the stadium capacity data by unregistered users with hidden IP addresses. When the data has been corrected, it has been requested that any modifications should first be justified in the Talk section enabled for capacity discussions. In this section, it has been clarified where the different data regarding the stadium's capacity after the renovation comes from, and it has been stated that the club's president himself has confirmed that the stadium's capacity is 80,000 spectators. In fact, this is also how it appears in the Spanish version. Despite this, there is a user with a hidden IP who constantly changes it. Please, before protecting the article, check that it has not been modified again and that the capacity shows 80,000 spectators. Zoser (talk) 14:39, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

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 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.
Shortcuts

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.

Israel-Hamas War

I would like to request that... (the map be updated to show that Israel now controls the entire Gaza-Egypt border) . LordOfWalruses (talk) 15:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

@LordOfWalruses this is not the place. Contentious topics should not be unprotected. 48JCLTALK 12:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
@48JCL: Unregistered and non-extended-confirmed editors are allowed to request edits to ARBPIA pages here. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
The talk page Talk:Israel-Hamas War is protected, therefore edit requests by non-extended-confirmed users land here. That is acceptable, and this request made above is reasonable. The people who actually do participate on that talk page should be reviewing requests here that remain open and haven't been declined for days. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
So basically, I shouldn’t request an edit here but I should request an edit at the talk page (and the same goes for future edit requests)? LordOfWalruses (talk) 12:40, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
@LordOfWalruses:, it is unusual for talk pages within scope of the WP:PIA remedies to be extendedconfirmed protected (). That normally only happens after a high level of disruption. You can normally submit edit requests to talk pages. Edit requests most likely to succeed are those that are 'Specific, Uncontroversial, Necessary, Sensible' per WP:EDITXY. You can also submit them here if you prefer, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, I think there are arguments in favor of centralizing all edit requests for WP:PIA to a single location as long as active editors add it to their watchlists (which is probably not the case right now to a large extent). Submitting edit requests to an article talk page obviously means that only a subset of the community who happen to have watch listed that particular page are likely to see it. Sean.hoyland (talk) 12:59, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Israel-Hamas War

Add the 90,000 displaced Lebanese to the infobox. Under the following section: 

   1,900,000 Palestinians displaced in Gaza Strip[87]
   200,000–500,000 Israelis displaced initially,[88][89] down to 60,000 by early 2024[90]

Bernard Arnault

I request that the post-nominals be added to the infobox. Similar to articles like Dalida where COAL is in the infobox. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 07:28, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Declined Please use an edit request; article-talk isn't protected. Lectonar (talk) 10:54, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
