    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.

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing. 48JCL TALK 14:19, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Many of the editors who engaged in the recent edit warring were EC ... upgrading to that level of protection would have no effect on them. If that's what prompted this report, the CTOPS designation allows to impose 1RR instead. Would you prefer that? Daniel Case (talk) 21:01, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If the edit warrimg accounts were Extended-Confirmed, then shouldn't the article be Fully Protected so Extended-Confirmed Users can't edit it? 70.50.199.125 (talk) 20:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    We only full-protect pages during severe edit wars, and only for a short period of time (like, IME, never longer than a week). 1RR is better when we get to persistent edit warring involving editors at that level. Daniel Case (talk) 03:29, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined per the above. I will be adding an indefinite "consensus required" restriction and logging as an AE action. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:23, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    United Nations Security Council Resolution 2735

    Reason: Should get extended protection, as all similar meaningful resolutions on this contentious topic do (e.g. United Nations Security Council Resolution 2720). Risk of vandalism and biased edits is high. CrazyPredictor (talk) 12:08, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:15, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of tallest buildings in the United States

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – IPs are edit-warring over content addition and removal on the page. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 16:42, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:49, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hunter Biden

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Just convicted at trial, leading to disruptive editing. CTOPS for post-1992 US politics. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:16, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Seconding this request. I suspect indefinite protection will prove necessary, but I'd take swiftly applied temporary protection over extended inaction. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:21, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. ECP will probably be needed for some period of time, but this request is premature. There have only been a handful of disruptive edits in the last day and the level of disruption in those edits is relatively minor compared to what I expected reading this request. Semi-protection has been on the article for a long time leading up to now. Let's see if this edit helps while continuing to monitor the article. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:05, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Russo-Circassian War

    Reason: The War of Edits Dushnilkin (talk) 19:44, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:18, 11 June 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.

    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 Nuseirat rescue operation

    I would like to request that Nuseirat refugee camp massacre be linked under the 'See also' category in the same way this article is linked in the 'See also' category in the aforementioned article. This will give continuity between the two articles in avoid bias. matt. (talk) 06:45, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Automated comment: @Magmamatt: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 06:53, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not done – That article is currently linked to at the top of 2024 Nuseirat rescue operation#Casualties. According to MOS:NOTSEEALSO: As a general rule, the "See also" section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body. Favonian (talk) 16:53, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
