    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    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.

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – No constructive IP edits since 2021 but weekly vandalism/gibberish. Was protected in the past for this reason but protection expired. This is unlikely to ever stop because it's the kind of page title that attracts this. Un assiolo (talk) 18:22, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indefinitely. Daniel Case (talk) 22:45, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Susan Nakhumicha Wafula

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism LucasR muteacc (talk) 19:02, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected by administrator Kuru. for a week. Daniel Case (talk) 22:43, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism (reflecting current world events) LucasR muteacc (talk) 19:34, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected by administrator Smalljim. for three days. Daniel Case (talk) 22:42, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – After consensus was reached on the Talk page, IPs continue to make aggressive edits against that consensus. Anwegmann (talk) 20:08, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Bidens hyperborea

    Reason: High level of vandalism of people trying to add a nonsense nickname. -1ctinus📝🗨 21:04, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 22:37, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Scott Sumner

    Indefinite semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Bizarre quote-mining and WP:NPOV violations that started showing up as soon as the last semiprotection expired. Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 21:33, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The last protection expired two years ago and there doesn't appear to have been any disruptive editing to the article since January. Daniel Case (talk) 22:35, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Vultures 2

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – frequent vandalism from IPs and new editors. ULPS (talk • contribs) 22:47, 11 July 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.

    I would like to request that... (I request to reduce the protection of the page. I would like to update quite a bit of content with references. I've posted on the talk page about updating a whole section attaching official references and no one seems to notice it. I think vandalism protection was increased but it's been a stable page for over a month now.). Panenkazo (talk) 16:03, 11 July 2024 (UTC){Moved from /Edit. I take no opinion on the merits of this request.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:06, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Wikipedia is not on a deadline. Your request was made all of two hours ago. Favonian (talk) 17:50, 11 July 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.

    The request appears to be about the 2024 Mangaf building fire, and I have changed the header accordingly. Favonian (talk) 18:04, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not done – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:2024 Mangaf building fire is not protected. Favonian (talk) 18:04, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
