    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.

    Temporary semi‑protection (1 month) – persistent IP vandalism since the high‑profile events of 27 May 2025 (pardon) and 4 Jun 2025 (TV‑series announcement). — Dahawk04 (talk) 23:42, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Examples
    • Unsourced claim about pardon terms
    • Defamatory statement repeatedly re‑added after reversion
    • Blanking of the cited sentencing section
    Per WP:SEMI. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dahawk04 (talk • contribs) 23:42, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Akre District

    Reason: The article has experienced persistent disruptive editing due to the politically sensitive nature of Akre District, which is disputed between the Iraqi Federal Government and the Kurdistan Regional Government. There have been repeated attempts to add unsourced or biased content, leading to edit warring and potential violations of Wikipedia’s neutrality policy. Semi-protection is requested to prevent further vandalism and ensure the article’s integrity. 78.101.242.98 (talk) 11:50, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Furthermore, the OP is evading a block by editing through a (now globally blocked) proxy. Favonian (talk) 17:39, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Akwete cloth

    Reason: Persistent vandalism of the page related to indigenous culture and content. Repeated disruptive editing, especially from anonymous users. Requesting semi-protection or extended confirmed protection to maintain page integrity. Titi7000 (talk) 12:42, 6 June 2025 (UTC) [1]. [2][reply]

    On conducting a special military operation

    Reason: Per WP:RUSUKR: Only extended-confirmed editors may make edits related to the topic area. Many edits are in violation of this policy, so it appears that protection is necessary. Yours truly, Stuffinwriting | talk | sign | contributions 04:49, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    When Life Gives You Tangerines

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Edit warring again, previously involving another user, now with IP, the same involved editor, looks to be exhibiting ownership issues and that other is always wrong, they're always right. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 10:55, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    1990 Plainfield tornado

    Reason: Frequent unsourced changes to wind speeds, primarily from IPs, over the last few months. This has been an apparent majority of edits to the page. Departure– (talk) 15:23, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of programs broadcast by HGTV

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The page has been consistently vandalized by IP users, adding and removing things back and forth (might be the same person) for a long time now, as can be seen throughout the history. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 15:43, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Contentious topic restriction. Dahawk04 (talk) 18:18, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    American Airlines Flight 77

    The article should be semi-protected due to vandalism, particularly targeting the article about American Airlines Flight 77, which was involved in the September 11th attacks. This protection is necessary to safeguard the article from potential further damage. Carson5034 (talk) 18:34, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of equipment of the Albanian Armed Forces

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Years' worth of additions of completely unsourced material (or additions of retired equipment, beyond the article's WP:SCOPE). The article is covered by WP:ARBEE and was semi-protected in the past. Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 18:47, 7 June 2025 (UTC). Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 18:47, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    XXX: State of the Union

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – I checked some of the other XXX articles to see if there was similar vandalism there, and I saw vandalism here that hadn't even been reverted yet. So the story seems to be similar for this article and the one to follow. –CopperyMarrow15 (talk – edits) 18:54, 7 June 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.

    Reason: Currently salted, holds up the acceptance of Draft:Medusa Film. Kovcszaln6 (talk) 13:44, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Jack Curran

    Reason: Unprotection: No longer necessary: This article has been semi-protected since 2010 due to BLP violations, and is still protected despite Curran having died in 2013. The protecting administrator was last active about 6 months ago. BriDash9000 (talk) 13:45, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Yelena Dembo

    Reason: Unprotection: This article has been semi-protected since 2010, and I think it's time to test whether long-term protection is still needed. The article has seen only 20 edits from 2020 to 2025, and just 1,177 views in the past year (see here), so I'm not expecting this to be the target of a lot of disruption. I already asked the protecting administrator; someone else told me to make an unprotection request here. BriDash9000 (talk) 16:20, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Mitsu

    Reason: Unprotection: This article, for some reason, has been semi-protected since 2010 due to apparent edit warring. It's probably time to unprotect it after 15 years have past, given the fact that all the other 'Mitsu' articles seen in this disambiguation page are not protected, and this article only seeing 4 edits since the protection and 1,634 views in the past year (see here). The protecting administrator has been banned since 2019. BriDash9000 (talk) 17:00, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Daniel A. McGowan

    Reason: Unprotection: This article has been semi-protected since 2007. I doubt this very low-profile article will be the target of a lot of disruption after nearly 18 years have past, having seen only 9 edits from 2020 to 2025 and a whopping 941 views in the past year (see here). The protecting administrator hasn't been active since 2012. This also doesn't fall under WP:CT/A-I, despite the context subject. BriDash9000 (talk) 17:20, 7 June 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.
