Reason: Recurring WP:FORUM and WP:NPA violations by non-ECR users and IPs. Borgenland (talk) 18:37, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Can you share some diffs? Daniel Case (talk) 06:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 14:42, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Edit warring related to WP:GS/CASTE. Kline • talk • contribs 20:49, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Various IPs have resumed adding unsourced info. Skywatcher68 (talk) 21:44, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 14:43, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: CTOPS. Borgenland (talk) 05:12, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – PIA. Heyaaaaalol (talk) 06:47, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated misuse of the talk page with excessive discussions and comments from various Canadian range IPs that are WP:NOTHERE to contribute constructively and violate WP:NOTAFORUM since October. These have been excessive in a way that is unusual for a draft article. Despite IPs being warned, the inappropriate and unconstructive discussions and comments persist and show no sign of ceasing. Trailblazer101 (talk) 07:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Poor editing. CrimeFind31 (talk) 15:14, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:46, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Poor editing.
CrimeFind31 (talk) 15:14, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Page hasn't been edited in three weeks. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:47, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Disruptive edit. CrimeFind31 (talk) 15:17, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:47, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Lifetime extended confirmation for me. HEHEHE CrimeFind31 (talk) 15:19, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:45, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Vbbanaz05 (talk) 16:52, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 17:29, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: I want my user page to be fully protected because I do not want others to edit it. It is my personal space, and frequent unauthorized edits are disrupting it. Zaid Hn (talk) 17:08, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Not done nobody else has edited it, for one thing. Also it looks promotional to me. BethNaught (talk) 17:10, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Vbbanaz05 (talk) 17:11, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The Yasuke talk page attracts a lot of IP users, some of which are disruptive: accusing other editors[1], edit warring[2] and keep bringing the discussion off-topic. Some are repeat visitors, but many just post once, making AE not worth it. Tinynanorobots (talk) 17:26, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I think we'll end up with a series of relatively short talkpage protections to try to cut down on the drive-by soapboxing. Acroterion (talk) 17:31, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Mellk (talk) 17:28, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: BLP policy violations. C F A 17:50, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BethNaught (talk) 17:55, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Repeated IP vandalism and addition of unsourced editorial content ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 17:56, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Recent, frequent IP vandalism (at least partially from link being shared on x.com) Dgpop (talk) 17:57, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
editBefore posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on 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.
Reason: Page was ECP protected 3 years ago due to an edit war. Cannot contact OhNoItsJamie as talk pages aren’t loading for me Heyaaaaalol (talk) 06:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Pinging Ohnoitsjamie. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 12:14, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- I think lowering protection of that page would be waste of time, but if someone else wants to I won't object. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:17, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
editPlease 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
{{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.
