    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.

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism Excellenc1 (talk) 05:57, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Some of the reverted IP edits are good-faith, though imperfect. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:17, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Persistent unconstructive edits from Ip users (persistent usage of wrong grammar, unreferenced edits, not following Manual of Style). Hotwiki (talk) 12:04, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Trinamool Congress

    Reason: Indefinite Extended confirmed protection. Persistent vandalism. New Users constinously adding ideology or changing political positions without providing adequate source. None of the sources states those idelogy or political positions. This page has been heavily edited particularly the idelogy section in the infobox. Tcspower (talk) 13:00, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Lisa Cameron

    Reason: High level of vandalism by accounts which have only ever edited her page, all seeming to paint her to look better. (Xwv9009, EasyEditorNAD, Fortheunion, Fiftyjust12, Edqxb4wz01 all in 2024 alone, after others last year)

    House of Leaves

    Reason: WP:Lamest edit wars#Gadsby (novel) situation with bluelinking every instance of the word "house". Edits are relatively uncommon but very disruptive and annoying when they happen. Orchastrattor (talk) 19:39, 7 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.

    Sun

    Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because the page needs more information which local editors know more. This page does not have any sensitive information which can be vandalised. 2A00:1FA3:524:4DA7:0:6A:6C2D:9A01 (talk) 19:00, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. The article's protection history clearly shows that unprotection isn't feasible. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:15, 7 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]
    So basically, I shouldn’t request an edit here but I should request an edit at the talk page (and the same goes for future edit requests)? LordOfWalruses (talk) 12:40, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @LordOfWalruses:, it is unusual for talk pages within scope of the WP:PIA remedies to be extendedconfirmed protected (). That normally only happens after a high level of disruption. You can normally submit edit requests to talk pages. Edit requests most likely to succeed are those that are 'Specific, Uncontroversial, Necessary, Sensible' per WP:EDITXY. You can also submit them here if you prefer, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, I think there are arguments in favor of centralizing all edit requests for WP:PIA to a single location as long as active editors add it to their watchlists (which is probably not the case right now to a large extent). Submitting edit requests to an article talk page obviously means that only a subset of the community who happen to have watch listed that particular page are likely to see it.

    Israel-Hamas War

    Add the 90,000 displaced Lebanese to the infobox. Under the following section: 

       1,900,000 Palestinians displaced in Gaza Strip[87]
   200,000–500,000 Israelis displaced initially,[88][89] down to 60,000 by early 2024[90]

    Israel-Hamas War

    I would like to request that... The casualties in Gaza for the Hamas/Gaza side be separated into civilian casualties and militant casualties . Not only would this give a better understanding of the civilian/militant death ratio, but it would also bring the Gazan side in line with the Israeli side (which has civilian and military casualties of the October 7th attack in two different groups). .
