Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Amorymeltzer (talk | contribs) at 18:47, 22 April 2019 (→‎Danny Masterson: Semi-protected 8 days). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

    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

    Across the River and into the Trees (film)

    Reason: UPE user 'Acrosstheriver21' was blocked in 2021 after making COI edits to this article. Since then a series of Northern Italian based IP addresses have been editing this article in a disruptive fashion. Statements by the user on the relevant IP talk pages indicate that this is the same user, evading the block. Disruption continues and, since the film will shortly be released, further disruption can be expected. Some form of page protection would seem preferable to playing IP whack-a-mole. Further detail can be found in the relevant discussion at WP:COIN Axad12 (talk) 05:36, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Regarding the issue above…
    Given the similarity of other interests (articles relating to the Raikes family and vandalism of the page for Will Johns[1]) it would seem to be plausible that the user involved above is the same as the one involved in this sockpuppet investigation[2].
    If so, the user is a veteran of at least 8 different blocked accounts and 2 blocked IP addresses.
    Maybe also worth protecting the articles for Will Johns (to stop vandalism), and Raikes, Raymond Raikes and Geoffrey Raikes (to dissuade against block evasion via IP addresses)? Axad12 (talk) 09:45, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    +1 This has been happening for a long time. Across the River and into the Trees should also be protected. See WP:COIN#Across the River and into the Trees (film). C F A 💬 15:52, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Muhammed Zafar Iqbal‎‎

    Reason: Wiki-battle over the last several days including what appears to be a death threat, against the backdrop of extreme tension in Bangladesh. I suggest that protecting the page until the situation calms down would be helpful. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 05:36, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Black September

    Reason: Long-term vandalism by IPs, for years as far as I remember relating to a point on involvement of Pakistani general. Makeandtoss (talk) 09:11, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    you are aware that there are editors with opinions that different than yours yes?
    why not talk and get to the middle ground?
    its seams that the edits the IP user have made were resalable sine Pakistan iniid provide financial aid.
    could you please elaborate why is it important to you to censor this fact? 109.66.110.43 (talk) 13:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The Jungle Book (1967 film)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – anon IP jumper has been reverted by several of us multiple times. Perhaps a week of protection will stop the issue. It's not an article that is edited a heap. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:18, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    My fault there. In defense this hopping IP is doing this to multiple Disney articles over the last month and my patience is waning.

      Not done Indefinite full protection is fairly extreme and would mean that only administrators would be able to edit the page. It is typically used as a last resort and even then temporarily.

      Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. While the length may seem longer than usual, this behaviour resumed after a 1 month protection. Let's see if 3 will do the trick. Hopefully indefinite protection does not need to occur, but we shall cross that bridge when we come to it.

    Current requests for reduction in 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.

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.
