    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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. ~delta (talk • cont) 21:01, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    This page still hasn’t been protexted, going to semi indef per request. Also, high profile article Legoplanecrash5383 (talk) 22:20, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I honestly don’t see enough disruption to require semi. Maybe PC would be better? Daniel Case (talk) 00:10, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Daniel Case Yeah, PC can also work. I've suggested semi initially due to the lengthy prot log and a couple of recent vandalism sparks, but I can see this page being PCed because while the vandalism is persistent over some period of time it isnt super frequent in a single day. ~delta (talk • cont) 01:28, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. In an attempt to clear this page, I have protected for a short period as the recent vandalism indicates some interest in disrupting the article. I find PC difficult in practice but others might want to apply it. The protection log indicates that silliness comes in extended batches. Johnuniq (talk) 04:21, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Aoidh (talk) 04:07, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Aoidh: Sorry, I protected it before the above was posted. The protection log shows previous protection expired a few days ago and was for sockpuppetry which is common in this kind of article. Johnuniq (talk) 04:25, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Johnuniq: Not a problem at all, declining it was borderline but I had overlooked the previous protections, good catch and thanks. - Aoidh (talk) 04:28, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – High level of IP vandalism. Blake Gripling (talk) 22:22, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not done the IP disruption lasted about 40 hours, and as of now there have been no IP edits in approximately 58 hours. If disruption continues protection may be needed, however. - Aoidh (talk) 04:12, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Kim Hye-yoon

    Reason: Edit dispute arie (talk) 10:41, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. as with the report this this article above, even if the IP's edits are disruptive, this isn't something that needs semi-protection. Aoidh (talk) 04:23, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected per the previous report. Aoidh (talk) 04:34, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of American federal politicians convicted of crimes

    Reason: IP users and non-confirmed accounts have repeatedly edited the page to perform the same disruptive edit of changing Michael Flynn's party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, in spite of users repeatedly pointing out that he was a registered Democrat at the relevant time. TRCRF22 (talk) 15:42, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Bulimba State School

    Reason: High levels of vandalism by IP users and likely socks over the last three years. It's likely the vandalism is coming from one or multiple students attending this school. I find it likely vandalism will return under a new account in the near future. I'd recommend semi-protection for the page. Solitaire Wanderer (talk) 15:56, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: A certain editor has made repeated edits with misspelling and misuse of capitalisation.

    Gymnastics at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's floor

    Reason: IOC has not ruled on the CAS ruling regarding the relative placements of Jordan Chiles and Ana Barbosu. Jordan Chiles remains the official bronze medalist until the IOC issues a ruling, but many are editing the standings to reflect the CAS decision which has no impact on the allocation of medals 2601:8C1:C180:7580:A448:B72F:C11F:BF48 (talk) 17:57, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism and sockpuppet evading block. Also, WP:CT/IRP, as noted yesterday on a similar article. Ronnnaldo7 (talk) 19:36, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    IP vandal has been blocked for a week now, so there may not be a need at this time.--Ronnnaldo7 (talk) 22:27, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Iran at the 2024 Summer Olympics

    Reason: Continuous vandalism from users. Also, WP:CT/IRP, as noted yesterday. Requesting longer duration of page protection from IPs, as well as an increase in the level of protection from users, similar to Israel at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Ronnnaldo7 (talk) 19:47, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    One of the users has been blocked for a week now, and the page protection ends in a week, so there may not be a need to increase it at this time.--Ronnnaldo7 (talk) 22:28, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – People are misunderstanding the current ruling and incorrectly saying that Jordan has had her medal stripped, which hasn't happened yet.

    Imane Khelif

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – There's discussion on the talk page, but it doesn't appear to be going anywhere yet. The talk page edits haven't prevented edit warring from continuing on the article. Onorem (talk) 20:47, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined @Onorem: I see the problem but it doesn't appear to be raging at the moment. Since the issue is a bit complex and it is at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Imane Khelif should get 1RR Arbitration Enforcement, I am going to duck protecting at this stage.

    Declined @CanonNi: There is not enough disruption since last time to warrant protection at the moment. I archived the talk page which might help reduce the junk edits.

    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.

    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.

    2024 United Kingdom riots

    The title is misleading - there have been none in Wales. The page mentions N Wales Police sending reinforcements, and says that there were anti-fascist gatherings in Cardiff to protest expected events that did not happen and 'some far-right demonstrators outside the Senedd, though no conflict materialised' So no riots in Wales.
