    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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Anonymized user insists on adding original research and correcting the marriage year contrary to provided source (1994 vs 1998). Hariboneagle927 (talk) 13:54, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 2603:8000:2A00:3EE6:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for three months. Daniel Case (talk) 00:55, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    2603:8000:2a00:3ee6:590c:e9db:726e:eac2 is continuing with the same editing pattern, specifically adding an unsourced timeframe for the subject's initial preferred name. I really do insist on a temporary page protection to just clean up the page. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 01:53, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Nevermind they have been blocked too. ThanksHariboneagle927 (talk) 01:55, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined, as the IP has stopped. Nothing for four weeks beforehand. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:53, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Falastinuna

    Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 18:52, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 18:52, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Superman Returns

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Sustained vandalism for the last month, adding factually incorrect information (such as fake cast members).

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There are some good IP edits in there too.

    Los Solitarios

    Reason: Persistent changes that are inaccurate for the page https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Solitarios If this isn't the place to request this, please send the Spanish link for this request. Thank you. Gaming222 (talk) 22:51, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of national capitals

    Reason: Repeated, undiscussed change to Jerusalem entry, previously stable for over two years. Any substantive change to this entry would seem to warrant discussion. The relevant edits, from a roving Melbourne, Australia-based IP, are: [1], [2], [3]. Declangi (talk) 23:15, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 2600:4040:2B88:B700:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs) blocked by PhilKnight. Been disrupted by two accounts/IPs since the last protection's expiry on 28 January, which should mean that the block is sufficient. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:51, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    SpongeBob SquarePants season 15

    Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content, primarily from IPs. Magitroopa (talk) 00:09, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 03:32, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Valencian language

    Reason: Vandalism from different IPs (probably from the same person, as they use the same summary) arbitrarily removing references to the Catalan language. Flopgui (talk) 00:25, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 03:22, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Gulf Coast of the United States

    Reason: Requesting temporary semi-protection due to IPs changing "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America." Trivialist (talk) 01:16, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Also falls under arbitration enforcement for post-1992 US politics given context. Departure– (talk) 01:31, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    As part of that, could WP:BRD or WP:CRD be enforced? IanDBeacon (talk) 02:23, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It could in theory but consensus has already been established at Talk:Gulf of Mexico and these IPs are disrupting the article. There's at least one single-purpose / vandalistic account in the history. Consensus by established editors is to respect the consensus established at Talk:Gulf of Mexico, but the next IP won't see that because they likely aren't going to the talk page. Departure– (talk) 03:25, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 03:38, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kyneton

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism by I.P editors and newcomers. Flat Out (talk) 02:00, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: PCProt, while effective, hasn't stopped the volume of spam we're getting. JayCubby 02:24, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Insufficient frequency for semi-protection. Sdrqaz (talk) 02:47, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia:EQUIS/WikiEdu

    Temporary semi-protection: High level of traffic during wiki-banner, until the 24th of Feb, thanks Oscar_. (talk) 02:51, 11 February 2025 (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 on 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.

    Chrysler B engine

    Reason: This page has been protected for *ten years*. It is the only engine page for major US manufacturers that is. It is not an *inherently contentious* page like many on religion, sexuality, ethnic strife, and such (which can remain persistently problematic). The page has had plenty of time to ride out a spate of probematic editing/unregistered editors. It needs the opportunity to be freely edited, and settle itself down. 2601:196:180:DC0:4842:76FD:4D84:35D5 (talk) 15:26, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    FYI Biblioworm. There's certainly a lot of disruption on car articles generally, but I'm not sure about a specific engine nowadays – I checked in the archives and the last time we had an engine-related request was in October (note that I only did a Ctrl+F check and that the Ford IP seems unrelated to this one). Sdrqaz (talk) 17:17, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected since Biblioworm hasn't checked in in a few days. Daniel Case (talk) 03:53, 11 February 2025 (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.

    Antonio Pereira (escritor)

    This article is written in Spanish and does not have an English version. I am involved in literary scholarship concerning Pereira's work and would like to translate his Wikipedia page into English as part of this work. I need permissions in order to undertake this translation work. Ragazzostar76 (talk) 01:05, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Ragazzostar76: Create a draft for the translation. Nine times out of ten, a straight translation of the page as it currently stands won't work as the English-language Wikipedia has both stricter and better-enforced sourcing standards. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 02:53, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
