    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.

    Bahmani invasion of Orissa

    Reason: There is persistent edit warring over the page right now with me and another user. -- While looking for other suitable things to do beside edit war over the page now I'm trying to look at other options I should've done from the start -- such as RFPP. Seeking to have page protected until this can conclude. Noorullah (talk) 02:58, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: Not gonna give a straight no here, but will advice you two to seek a third opinion, and that page protection is not necessary or now. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 12:44, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    ECP they're obvious.197.2.26.194 (talk) 09:18, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Protected only four of the aforementioned articles, focusing on those which saw disruptive edits by non-EC accounts. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 20:54, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Contentious topic restriction. the Balkans or Eastern Europe Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 11:34, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    American College of Pediatricians

    Reason: IP vandalism, WP:ARBGENSEX as well as contemporary politics Bluethricecreamman (talk) 15:13, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 16:11, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 Republican National Convention

    Semi-Protection or Pending changes: Reason: Speculation by IPs about who is going to be a possible Trump VP pick and the addition of non-cited work by IPs is a problem. Qutlooker (talk) 15:51, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 18:03, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Cody Ko

    Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Accusations have been raised against Cody Ko, and uncited additions have already been made that violate WP:BLP. Cerebral726 (talk) 17:04, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Duangjai Devaprom

    Reason: Has a history of many disruption from new accounts or IP users and editing the page with the wrong informations and spelling. Kkangsonp (talk) 17:55, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Modu Chanyu

    Reason: High level of disruptive editing through adding a lot of images proposed for deletion on Wikimedia Commons as copyright violation. Jingiby (talk) 18:20, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 20:46, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    J. D. Vance

    Reason: Extended confirmed protect it, per general sanctions of U. S. politics past 1992, because he is Trump’s running mate. Semi protection isn’t enough. 24.115.255.37 (talk) 19:19, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Comment: I'm sure the article will eventually need to be ECP in the future, as we close in the election, but I don't see the need right now. Since I initially semi-protected it, I'll let another administrator respond to this request. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 20:45, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Nebula (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Has been subject to persistent vandalism especially from sock accounts, it appears. SPF121188 (talk this way) (my edits) 19:29, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Drexel Hamilton

    Reason: Page is full of inaccuracies and company sources would like the chance to update the page accordingly before administrators jump in and repeatedly revert to the inaccurate content. Tscott29 (talk) 20:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined. Please see WP:NOT Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 20:29, 15 July 2024 (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 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.

    Medhi Benatia

    Reason: Page was given indefinite pending changes in July 2016 due to transfer gossip. This is no longer relevant as the player is retired since 2021. The last 50 edits including bots go back to November 2022, so there is not a storm of edits, nor any particularly vandalising edits. Protecting admin left in 2018. Unknown Temptation (talk) 12:05, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Jorge Martínez (footballer, born April 1983)

    Reason: Page was given indefinite semi as a first resort in May 2011 - rather bizarrely, as you look at the edit history and nothing at all was going on then. The subject was obscure then and is even more obscure now seven years into retirement. Protecting admin has one edit in last year. Unknown Temptation (talk) 12:13, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The summary for the protection (which was inherited from the page's original title) says "go to semi per arb injunction" - the implication being this article was involved in an Arbitration case around that timeframe. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:14, 15 July 2024 (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.
