Requests for page protection | |
---|---|
This page is for requesting that a page, file or template be protected. Please read up on 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 only 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, the protection is listed in the page history and logs with a short description indicating why it was protected, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. Further discussion should take place on the Talk page of the article. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins do not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism. Note: Editors should not consider requesting page protection as a method for continuing an argument from elsewhere nor as a venue for starting a new discussion regarding article content. If a request contains excessive argument, appears to be intended to resolve a content dispute, includes personal attacks or uncivil comments, or has any other unrelated discussion, it will be removed from this page and no action will be taken. 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 |

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Continued UPE/COI recreation of article. Onel5969 TT me 01:16, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
Alphonso Davies
- Alphonso Davies (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: In the past few days, has been edited by IPs and new editors, changing birthday, adding irrelevant info, changing langvar. Page just had its protection end Feb 28. Some of it was probably done in good faith (ie. the langvar), but the changing of langvar is extremely prominent on this page due to his notability as a soccer player in europe. Had a few other vandalism edits in that time period since as well RedPatch (talk) 01:37, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Mains electricity by country
- Mains electricity by country (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Pages like this are a magnet for wikifiddlers - well intentioned or otherwise. In this case the various mains electricity frequencies keep getting changed without any regard to the established references that confirm each one. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:03, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- @10mmsocket: You mean Mains electricity by country (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), right? —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 10:16, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- Oops! Thank you. --10mmsocket (talk) 10:28, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- Note. The same editor keeps pushing unsourced mains frequency changes in other articles. Quite a pest. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:29, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- I won't go 3RR, but the same change has been made again by the same IP. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:51, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent edit-warring by IPs or recently registered users. Read the edit summaries of the following edits [1] [2] [3]. Super Ψ Dro 14:23, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. @Super Dromaeosaurus: why did you remove my comment and decline for said request, and just inserted a new request with a new timestamp?. The content dispute lies in the fact that there seems to be disagreement about the the reading of the sources. Lectonar (talk) 15:17, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- An IP reverting three different users several times is not a content dispute. Thanks for nothing though. Super Ψ Dro 15:49, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Daniel Case (talk) 18:56, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Super Dromaeosaurus: We don't protect an article based on the actions of one editor. Blocking might be the solution, so go to WP:AN3 to report edit-warring. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:11, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Only post below if you receive no (favourable) 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 rolling archive if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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
{{request edit}}
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.
