    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.

    Talk:Dadvan Yousuf

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent disruptive editing by IPs, likely sock or meatpupperty. The article itself is already EC protected for the same issue. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 14:33, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I'm not seeing many reverted edits, the best sign of talk page disruption. Daniel Case (talk) 02:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite extended protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. EndzoneEnthusiast 19:28, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 Indian general election

    • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 05:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Adding POV pushing of nomenclatures by new accounts such as this [1]. Borgenland (talk) 06:08, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    And an increase in edit warring. Borgenland (talk) 06:19, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 South African general election

    Reason: Edit warring in results. Borgenland (talk) 06:20, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Nikita Mazepin

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 07:17, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Abdul Basit 'Abd us-Samad

    Reason: Extended-Confirmed Protection:

    The page keeps being targeted by Kurdish Nationalists imposing and enforcing a false identity on a famous Upper Egyptian figure, even though his own son denied that foreign rumor repeatedly in TV interviews, yet new accounts keep ruining his biography and enforcing something the family has never stated.

    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.

    Rugby World Cup

    No protection: No longer necessary. SimplyLouis27 (talk) 00:25, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    SimplyLouis27, why do you think that? – Muboshgu (talk) 01:18, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's possible it's due to the protection being levied to replace PC after the "trial" ended in 2010. Articles on PC at that time were set to indef semi. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 01:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Done, unprotected and restored PC protection. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:41, 4 June 2024 (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.

    Israel-Hamas War

    I would like to request that... (the map be updated to show that Israel now controls the entire Gaza-Egypt border) . LordOfWalruses (talk) 15:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @LordOfWalruses this is not the place. Contentious topics should not be unprotected. 48JCLTALK 12:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @48JCL: Unregistered and non-extended-confirmed editors are allowed to request edits to ARBPIA pages here. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The talk page Talk:Israel-Hamas War is protected, therefore edit requests by non-extended-confirmed users land here. That is acceptable, and this request made above is reasonable. The people who actually do participate on that talk page should be reviewing requests here that remain open and haven't been declined for days. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
