    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.

    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level Request protection Shortcuts

    Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create 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.


    Lyal S. Sunga

    Reason: Introduction of misleading and inaccurate information on a persistent basis by one user "Jlanansh" who insists on changes to the biography of Lyal S. Sunga, despite the fact that the page has been up for years and has been edited and backed up by authoritative sources without previous difficulty. This is a case of vandalism. 101.56.25.252 (talk) 14:48, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

    Question: Have you attempted to communicate with the editor? I see no template or discussion about this in pagetalk or usertalk. BusterD (talk) 18:50, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
    User:Jlanansh seems to have started a talk thread entitled COI, and had one dismissive reply (from the ip requester here) which didn't engage on the (unsourced) accusation. If I'm reading correctly, Jlanansh hasn't edited the page since they posted the talk thread. BusterD (talk) 18:58, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. BusterD (talk) 19:02, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

    Pocoyo

    Reason: Too much vandalism in page; Adding in fake networks, airdates, and episode titles. Kiff Chatterly (talk) 15:19, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

    Teja Sajja

    Reason: IP ADDRESS Wantedly targeting DOB of Teja Sajja. Despite multiple undo attempts repeated vandalism continues. Hakuna matatya (talk) 17:05, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

    Battle of Pipli Sahib

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Paramandyr (talk) 17:25, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection 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.

    Shortcuts

    Lil Dicky

    Reason: Lil Dicky was semi-protected back in 2019. Now that five years have passed, could the semi-protection be lifted? 174.93.89.27 (talk) 19:19, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

    Ahecht, Materialscientist has disabled pings according to their talk page. 174.93.89.27, please ask the protecting administrator on their talk page before making a request for unprotection here. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
    Not done ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

    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 Request edit 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 Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages: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.
