    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.

    Mister Supranational 2024

    Reason: Recent sockpuppetry and IP interference with efforts to make articles conform to WP quality standards regarding formatting and sourcing. Reversion without stated rationale. Pages covered by WP:GS/PAGEANTS community sanctions. ☆ Bri (talk) 15:36, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 21:24, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Damnatio memoriae

    Reason: Semi-protection: IP persists in adding, against talk page consensus, original research that misrepresents sources and is calling disagreement with them a vandal attack. Egsan Bacon (talk) 16:27, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 22:37, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced material by auto-confirmed users: If you look at the revision history, it shows a few users adding content that came from unreliable sources. Upgrade protection to Extended-Confirmed protected, this will decrease the amount of unsourced material being added by auto-confirmed users. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 16:44, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. One of the recent autoconfirmed editors who's been reverted has had their account globally locked, while the other one has indicated a willingness to discuss on their talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 21:42, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This article contains a person who recently passed away and is now being edited non stop. Swaggalicious (talk) 17:24, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 21:43, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 Enga landslide

    Reason: Vandalism by IPs. Borgenland (talk) 17:28, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Borgenland: Please take greater care to warn editors for the correct issue. Vandalism has a very specific meaning on Wikipedia. The IP editor should have been warned for making unsourced changes, edit warring, or both, not "vandalism". Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:50, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    User(s) blocked: 98.122.60.249 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for 24 hours. Daniel Case (talk) 21:56, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Daniel Case: I'm not suggesting they should be unblocked, but I was in the process of issuing a more specific warning. Their behavior had temporarily ceased after some user talk page discussions. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    They went over that line and weren't exactly the most collegial. Daniel Case (talk) 22:09, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent edit warring introducing an off-by-one error after repeated explanations. –Sincerely, A Lime 18:34, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:10, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The Skwawkbox

    Reason: Highly likely IP COI-editing. Attempting to introduce promotional content into article, mostly unsourced or sourced to Skawakbox website. Thanks! Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 22:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 22:29, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Tel al-Sultan airstikes ‎

    Reason: Requesting move protection, not edit protection. There is a move war going on, even as a move request is underway. Note, by the time an admin sees this, the page may be move back to its original Tel al-Sultan massacre instead. VR (Please ping on reply) 23:33, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Ceasefire proposal for Israel–Hamas war (May 5)

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Persistent genre warring over the past two years. Air on White (talk) 23:38, 27 May 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.

    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.

    Fortune Global 500

    Hello everyone. I kindly ask you if it is possible to make a specific section of the "Fortune Global 500" page non-editable and specifically "Breakdown by country/territory". I kindly ask you to read the talk page of the page. In the last month there have been continuous attempts at editing CONTRARY to the fundamental principles of Wikipedia.

    Specifically, the SOURCE cited "Global 500". Fortunes. Retrieved October 23, 2023" EXPLICITLY indicates that, for 2023, the United States is first with 136 companies and China is second with 135 companies.

    Some editors continue to change the figure to indicate that China has 142 companies. In fact, they add 7 Taiwanese companies to the 135 companies in China.

    However, this is contrary to what is reported in the SOURCE and allows a POLITICALLY MOTIVATED SUBJECTIVE POINT OF VIEW to prevail.

    Taiwan is considered a territory and therefore its companies should not be added to those of China.

    I therefore ask you to leave the data for 136 companies for the United States and 135 for China unchanged and ineditable.

    This request is driven only by technical considerations, relating to RESPECT for the principles of Wikipedia and not political ones. In fact, Taiwan is not a de jure country.

    Thank you. Chrisques5 (talk) 23:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Chrisques5: Protection is page-level and cannot be done for specific sections. Even if this were possible, you requested this on the page for requesting edits for the page. You want to request protection at WP:RFPP/I. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 23:20, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
