    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.

    Came to report the same, as is still on-going - multiple IPs and a new account trying to white-wash the article - has had to be protected in the past. - Arjayay (talk) 13:02, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Gang stalking

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing/addition of unsourced material – This article has a perennial issue of IP editors disruptively adding unsourced material which promotes gang stalking as real. Unfortunately, the people who say they experience gang stalking usually suffer from a psychotic disorder, typically schizophrenia. Our coverage of this topic is therefore always going to be upsetting to proponents, so I don't the see issues ever going away. See also this short discussion.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP range keeps adding films (one supposed future film) which were made after the subject had died [3] [4] [5]. The gap is almost a decade for the released one, and for the non-notable one more than two decades. The IP range is actively disrupting other articles [6] [ [7]].

    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.

    Brenda Biya

    Reason: Biya has recently received international media coverage (see below) over her coming out. She already has an article on the French Wikipedia, which I have translated at Draft:Brenda Biya. Coverage:

    Declined If the draft is accepted (and I do not see that happening at the moment, going by the comments above), then we can easily unprotect mainspace page. Lectonar (talk) 10:08, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Brianna Wu

    Reason: I understand the need for protection with regard to the GamerGate harassment, but she's gone on a radical Zionist bent ever since Oct 7th making increasingly racist/Islamaphobic statements, so much so that's she's been shunned by progressive allies and even began courting members of the far-right who previously slandered her. I feel it's only appropriate that this be reflected in the article. Spymaster Cosades (talk) 17:21, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Spymaster Cosades: And this request underlines precisely why the article is protected. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 19:29, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected Lectonar (talk) 10:10, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That answers absolutely nothing. Did you think you cooked there? Spymaster Cosades (talk) 13:08, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Max Ram

    Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because i have now learned how to navigate editing sources. The appearances and goals for hungerford town need to be updated is they incorrect. Giantsnowangel (talk) 09:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Favonian (talk) 11:34, 9 July 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.
