    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 semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Repeated targetting by the Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Magichero1234 sock network which goes back years. Asking for a semi-indef on a topic covered by IPA sactions. Gotitbro (talk) 12:14, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Age and health concerns about Donald Trump

    Reason: Vandalism from half a dozen IPs within the past month, including three within the past week, for an obviously contentious topic in an area under active arbitration remedies. There are six weeks left until the election, and it is reasonable to expect increasing vandalism from all ends of the political spectrum until that event, and that vandals will lose interest in this page thereafter, no matter the outcome. I propose s-protection for that six week span. BD2412 T 12:16, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Alderman White School

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism from multiple accounts. KH-1 (talk) 13:09, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) I’m involved with this one and it’s had a small sock or meat farm on it today, but only one other edit by anyone else in 2024. In fairness, it would have looked like it was going to keep going, when KH filed the RFPP, so fair play to KH, but the folks doing the promo edits seem to have got bored now, or taken the hint. If this were my call, I’d want to see another sockfarm try their luck, on a different day, before handing protection, but of course, not a mop. MM (Give me info.)

    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.

    Thomas Matthew Crooks

    Reason: Its been 2 months and the edits are slowing down, 2 edit requests, plus most of the drama is on the assassination attempt not crooks himself 2D Is Better Than 3D (talk) 01:11, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @2D Is Better Than 3D: This page was protected under the auspices of a contentious topic (post-1992 politics of the United States) and cannot be unilaterally unprotected. Appeal the protection at WP:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement or WP:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 03:36, 25 September 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.
