    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.

    Reason: IP edit warring – WP:HEADLINE, WP:OR, and WP:POV violations. Medxvo (talk) 10:08, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. WaggersTALK 12:48, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pilita Corrales

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Consistent unsourced changes over the past few days, given the subject of the page passed away recently. Along with multiple conflicting reports on the individual's age. Packerfan386beer here 13:02, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. WaggersTALK 12:51, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. WaggersTALK 12:53, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Abdullah Ahmad Badawi

    Reason: Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Non-constructive edits and vandalism from non registered IPs. Thegreatrebellion (talk) 15:57, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined - report was good at the time but activity has calmed down following the original surge from the subject's death WaggersTALK 12:57, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Sour (album)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Multiple users, referred to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Slomzy0932 and subsequently blocked, have attempted edits to this article, particularly regarding genres. MPFitz1968 (talk) 16:54, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. WaggersTALK 12:59, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The Richie Allen Show

    Reason: High level of IP unreferenced & non-constructive edits. GnocchiFan (talk) 18:37, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Z. Patterson

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: User request within own user space. Per BusterD's comment in Special:Diff/1285477831, it was protected because of WP:DE, but there appears to be no good reason for non-extended-confirmed users to edit my user page. That user also said I can request any administrator to change the protection level if I choose to do so. Z. Patterson (talk) 01:54, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Just linking to WP:UPROT here...I for one do not see the need for protection at the moment. Lectonar (talk) 11:17, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Family of Mohamed Muizzu

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Lots of disruptive editing yesterday and may continue. Unilandofma(Talk to me!) 06:09, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Vachirawit Chivaaree

    Reason: Dear administrators, I would like to kindly request semi-protection for the article Vachirawit Chivaaree. The page has recently been targeted by repeated unconstructive edits and minor vandalism from anonymous users. While I’ve done my best to monitor and revert the changes, the disruptions have started to affect the stability and readability of the article. Applying semi-protection would help maintain the quality of the article and reduce the need for constant cleanup. Trusted and confirmed users would still be able to contribute constructively. Warm regards, Yuzy (talk) 07:02, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Caste system in Nepal

    Reason: Request for Full Protection – Caste system in Nepal

    Hi, I'd like to request full protection for the article "Caste system in Nepal" due to ongoing issues with frequent disruptive edits. This page has become vulnerable to unsourced additions, biased language, and attempts to promote or uplift specific castes, which affects the neutrality and integrity of the content.

    Given how sensitive caste-related topics are — especially in Nepal's context — the article is at high risk of edit wars and POV-pushing. To maintain a balanced and factual tone, I believe full protection is necessary until a stable version is agreed upon through proper discussion.

    Protecting the page would:

    Prevent further vandalism and bias

    Encourage contributors to use the talk page for consensus

    Ensure all edits are well-sourced and neutral

    I deeply respect the efforts of the editing community and hope this step helps maintain Wikipedia’s standards on such an important and sensitive topic.

    Thank you for your consideration. 🙏 2400:1A00:B1C0:5697:AD4B:A7C1:3FB6:6555 (talk) 08:03, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Lectonar (talk) 11:51, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Shahzadi Khanum

    Reason: High level of IP/User vandalism stretching for months, consistently prominent. Needs a long duration limit. RevolutionaryPatriot (talk) 10:45, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I see about a dozen disruptive edits this year...this is far from a high level of vandalism. Lectonar (talk) 11:51, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kai Sotto

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 10:46, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. One disruptive edit per week can be handled without protection. Lectonar (talk) 11:45, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kavya Maran

    Reason: High level of edits by contributors without due diligence. Kskarthicksundar (talk) 11:40, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Lectonar (talk) 11:43, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kepala Batas, Seberang Perai

    Reason: Persistent disruptive behaviour by IP 60.50.34.200, along with accusations of racism. hundenvonPG (talk) 11:43, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Lectonar (talk) 11:45, 15 April 2025 (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 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.

    Amravati_Airport

    Reason: The information is outdated and due nature of protection information can be updated GlobalAirport (talk) 15:06, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The talk page is not protected. Sumanuil. (talk to me) 03:28, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Amravati_Airport is not protected. Favonian (talk) 10:09, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    green

    Reason: Page has been protected since 2008 (17 years) as of 2025. Given that there hasn't been much vandalism, I think we could try pending changes Filmssssssssssss (talk) 17:02, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Not unprotected – Color articles are perennial targets of vandalism. By a quaint coincidence, a request for unprotection of the Red article was just made – by an IP sock of an LTA. Favonian (talk) 11:15, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Dust Bowl

    Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because vandalism in this article has died down. 2600:1700:6180:6290:9166:760B:763B:2730 (talk) 23:34, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Comment:That's kind of what protection is for. Sumanuil. (talk to me) 03:29, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected – Needs a better rationale. Favonian (talk) 10:36, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Red

    Reason: Page has been protected since 2017 (8 years) as of 2025. Given that there hasn't been much vandalism, I think we could try pending changes. 69.193.154.106 (talk) 23:45, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Comment: Have you considered that the vandalism might have stopped because of the protection? Sumanuil. (talk to me) 03:31, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected – Request by block evading sock of LTA. Favonian (talk) 10:34, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
