    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.

    Walt Disney World

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Please see Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Quebec Disney Hoaxer. IanDBeacon (talk) 03:25, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:30, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 South African general election

    Reason: Edit warring in results. Borgenland (talk) 06:20, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. If specific users are edit warring, please warn them and report them to WP:ANEW if they continue. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:36, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Canaan Dog

    Reason: Consistent vandalism due to dog breed being from Israel as well as being mentioned as being found in Palestine. Not sure if the whole Israel/Palestine restrictions extend to stuff like this but there should at least be autoconfirmed protection. [1] [2] [3] [4] Since February there has been one edit that hasn't been vandalism/reverting vandalism. Traumnovelle (talk) 08:11, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:57, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Since February? was 142.126.189.51 (talk) 20:01, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    East Pakistan

    Reason: A IP is doing vandalism and unhelpful edits in these three articles, we are reverting them for three long days but they are continuously doing it. I reported them see here but looks like they are using more than one ips to vandalize these articles. In this situation it is important to protect these three articles for longer period because the person is persistent enough. No other action will not work as they are using many ips. Mehedi Abedin (talk) 08:59, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Please enforce WP:CT/IPA across all three. IanDBeacon (talk) 21:37, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Macaron

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Two IPs edit warring, one a dynamic IP. Belbury (talk) 09:08, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Checking to see if protection is necessary. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:58, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    User(s) blocked. @Belbury: If the disruption resumes, please submit an updated request. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:09, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Nicki Minaj

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Edit warring and one of the protagnists notes on their Talk page they will continue to revert. Karst (talk) 10:30, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked blocked by Smalljim. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:11, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 Dominican Republic general election

    Reason: Insertion of same hoax content by same IP address after protection was lifted. Also occurred in 2012 Dominican Republic presidential election, 2016 Dominican Republic general election and 2020 Dominican Republic general election. Borgenland (talk) 11:35, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Marianna Vardinogiannis

    Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – IP's presumably from Greece are adding unsourced date of birth. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 13:57, 4 June 2024 (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 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.

    Montana Tucker

    Reason: This page has been protected in 2008, after several attempts at COI biographies. In other words, very much justified at that time. 16 years have passed and by now she passes the GNG. I wish to undo what is by now an injustice. gidonb (talk) 22:43, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Gidonb: Do you have a ready draft article you could use to help justify unprotecting it? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 22:47, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have something on my machine I plan to use once unprotected. It's not very organized. I will add plenty of references and tie to the many pages where she is currently mentioned. It's a similar effort really to the Brian Balmages article that I recreated. Was also understandably removed for peacock, yet notable. gidonb (talk) 22:53, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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)[reply]

    @LordOfWalruses this is not the place. Contentious topics should not be unprotected. 48JCLTALK 12:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
