    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.

    Basel Program

    Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 17:58, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Last edit was over three months ago; and while I wouldn't argue this doesn't come under ARBPIA I similarly wouldn't argue this is a primary topic within it (as while it was the first international Zionist program, as the article notes it was replaced in the early 1950s with the Jerusalem Program), nor does it appear to have any nexus with the current conflict.

    User:Z. Patterson

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: User request within own user space. Per BusterD's comment in Special:Diff/1285477831, it was protected because of WP:DE, but there appears to be no good reason for non-extended-confirmed users to edit my user page. That user also said I can request any administrator to change the protection level if I choose to do so. Z. Patterson (talk) 01:54, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Just linking to WP:UPROT here...I for one do not see the need for protection at the moment. Lectonar (talk) 11:17, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined per above. The absence of a reason for non-EC editors to edit a user page does not, to me, by itself constitute a reason to so protect that page. We seem to have established a high bar for that level of protection to a user page; I would consider it only in cases of demonstrated long-term abuse by AC accounts. This is not being argued here.

    Bazooka (film)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Lots of low-grade edit warring/disruptive editing by multiple IPs, at least one of whom probably has a COI. There are also CIR issues with some edits. Patrick (talk) 13:21, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    This is only on my watchlist because I manually fixed something flagged by an anti-vandalism script. Now activity there is about 80% of my watchlist. I suspect people just need a week or so for all the reviews and box-office data to come in. In any case, I don't know or care about the movie itself and am done trying to patrol the chaos. When you get to it, consider looking at the diff and restoring to the version by the last user who included an edit description or is working from an account. At least one person is clearly using the article for promotional purposes contrary to its sources. Thanks for all your work here, Patrick (talk) 16:27, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Mike Allen 16:42, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    It is not disruptive. The version you restored is a bloated, repetitive mess, which is a real disservice to those seeking guidance. 41.32.39.128 (talk) 17:00, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    COVID-19 lab leak theory

    Reason: I am requesting 6 months of ECP for Talk:COVID-19 lab leak theory, and for Talk:Origin of SARS-CoV-2. All COVID topics are already considered contentious topics (WP:CT/COVID), and both of these article main pages are already protected by ECP.

    The talk pages, however, have suffered under a truly withering barrage of endless requests that we depart from the standard of scientific consensus, and treat the concept of a laboratory leak as highly plausible. In the last two weeks alone, 11,000 words have been written at Talk:Origin of SARS-CoV-2 (33 single-spaced pages in word), with IP addresses and SPAs all asking editors to change the article.

    The pattern of discussion in each new talk page topic is the same: an editor with relatively few edits proposes a change to the article emphasizing a potential laboratory leak [2], discussion quickly descends into accusations and fruitless argument [3], and thousands of words are written before the discussion is closed [4]. Then, hours later, another and similarly pointless topic is opened with the same agenda [5].

    Editors are complaining of burnout, and you can see why. ECP on the talk pages would not impede article improvement, but would significantly reduce the strain and stress on editors working in this publicly contentious area. -Darouet (talk) 19:20, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    P.S. I'm not sure if this is the right location to post but Tryptofish suggested that any competent administrator can decide to apply ECP to these talk pages given that COVID is already deemed contentious (WP:CT/COVID). Tryptofish your input also welcome. -Darouet (talk) 19:22, 15 April 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.

    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.
