Wiki How:Requests for page protection

Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

• Richard Clarkin (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. BlueboyLINY (talk) 04:57, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. Same issue as at #Robert Joy above. @BlueboyLINY: It would be helpful if some advice were given to the IP. Situations like this are awkward because the IP seemed to think they were helping but edit warring like that can't go unanswered. Johnuniq (talk) 06:33, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• TDI (engine) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: I have been continuously reverting an IP address who has made significant changes without explaining them on the article TDI (engine)] and wondering if I could request a protection of the page. The edits are unsourced by the way. 750h+ 07:15, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I'd support this as well - I tried to mediate on both user and article talk pages, but the IP has no intention of discussing their changes and is simply reverting and carrying on regardless. Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Additional - the edits seem to be coming from multiple IP addresses in Turkey, so protection rather than block would seem to be a better approach. Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:32, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Tehran (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: I've added the citations to the "Twin towns – sister cities" section of Tehran, which had a "Needs more references" template since September of 2023, and there has been 7-8 reverts recently by inexperienced users with an overall 30-50 edits for no reason. Please increase the protection, or do full protection for a while. I can't revert stuff anymore, the article is getting out of hand and it needs protection ASAP. Farnaj57 (talk) 08:11, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Malé (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing for the past few years and there are still many wrong spellings added by IP addresses. MAL MALDIVE (talk) 08:22, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Chief Illiniwek (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Edit warring. Numerous anon IP reverts to implement a controversial change, without comment or talk page discussion. Changes include removal of references. Dual Freq (talk) 10:39, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Turkish delight (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Edit warring by multiple parties, 3RR long breached. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 10:49, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Maratha (caste) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IPs replacing longstanding version without discussion. Disruptive, edit war and seems like the same person ans a possible blocked user [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:43, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Editors who want their Governorates to be #1 on the list vandalise the page to be in their favor. Kirkukturk3 (talk) 12:20, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Automated comment: @Kirkukturk3: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 12:32, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Molly Hatchet (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Content dispute/edit warring/disruptive editing continues after this page was previously protected three times for the same reasons. An indefinite or one-year protection of this page would have casted my vote. UndergroundMan3000 (talk) 12:24, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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.

A historical archive of previous protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive.
