| 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 | |

Reason: Months of IP users adding unsourced content, removing content without explanation, vandalism, etc. Swinub (talk) 01:00, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. @Swinub: Also, many of these reverts could be better explained in both edit summaries and on user talk pages. There isn't a single user talk page for any IP editor or new account with a reverted edit since 19 April 2024. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 01:17, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Moxy🍁 01:34, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I don't see a significant number of recent edits that meet the definition of disruptive editing or vandalism. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 01:39, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- There is an IP editor that now restored a sock's edit (as the "stabler version"), so it looks like there is possibly some sock puppetry going on. Mellk (talk) 03:16, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:08, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs keep removing this category from actors with disabilities. It seems to be the same ip. Mason (talk) 02:27, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: WP:RUSUKR. IPs frequently add unsourced information to Ukrainian military unit pages. SaintPaulOfTarsus (talk) 03:19, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Reason: WP:RUSUKR; request made due to unsourced edits by IP, which is frequent on pages about Ukrainian military units SaintPaulOfTarsus (talk) 03:22, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Please block or warn the user (Viru96) or protect the page. He keeps vandalising the page over and over. Try to contact the user many times to stop it but not reply and keep doing it. IDB.S (talk) 05:34, 11 July 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.
