    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 remove obvious vandalism.

    Reason: CT with multi editor edit warring over interpretation of talk page consensus Czarking0 (talk) 16:53, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm not convinced this is happening. Both of us are active on the talk page so we are involved, but I don't see the edit warring on the article, just disagreement on the talk page about a fascism template and the OP here upset that I told an editor their opinion should be disregarded as it appears they are shortly going to be CBANed at ANI, which seems to be the case. Protecting the article when the dispute is on the talk page, and in particular protecting it to the OP's preferred state, doesn't seem a good idea. IMHO of course, other Admins may see it differently. Doug Weller talk 17:27, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The OP has thanked me for a link to ANI so i think we can ignore that bit. Still not convinced ther is edit warring. Also looking again it does not seem to be in their preferred state. Doug Weller talk 18:27, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Iran was involved in the Arab-Israel conflict, and therefore, i am requesting extended confirmed protection per Template:Arab-Israeli Arbitration Enforcement. 69 (i crave violence :D) 17:06, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Ponyo, ScottishFinnishRadish, Pppery, HJ Mitchell, and PhilKnight: V-69 (talk) 20:21, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined Only the Khamenei era subsection (and 2 summarizing sentences in the lead) contain any content relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict. As that's only a small portion of the page, ECP would only be warranted in the case of ongoing disruption, which does not appear to be occurring at the moment. signed, Rosguill talk 20:26, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Not preemptive and all that. I'm hopeful that no one will do anything unconsidered. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:28, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. The active Arbitration Committee remedies only authorize the preemptive application of extended confirmed protection, but not full protection. Please submit a new request if the disruptive editing continues.​ — Newslinger talk 21:15, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Ryan Vasquez

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – we have here a very persistent case of spamming an article about the Venezuelan singer. The original article was deleted as not notable after a regular deletion request. Please note that articles about that person were also deleted in 10+ language versions of Wikipedia, including es and pt where the article was deleted several times and now article creation is limited. The most recent attempt was to hijack this article about the American singer four times (see version history). It would be great if some more people could add the article to their watchlist. --Isderion (talk) 22:31, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template protection: High-risk template – This is a helper method being added into {{Infobox Russian inhabited locality}} as part of a refactor. As the infobox is TE protected and this will be used on ALL transclusions, this should also be TE protected (note currently only used on the sandbox, that will change in the next hour).

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level
    Shortcuts

    Before posting a request for unprotection, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.

    To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.

    DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...

    • ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
      • If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
      • If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
    • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
    • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
    • ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.

    You may request a protection reduction below if...

    • ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
    • ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
    • ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
    • ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.

    If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.

    Reason: The protection is not required as the page does not contain false or uncorroborated information 2A00:23C5:8ACA:3A01:8CB0:DD8:D4D6:7265 (talk) 19:15, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    To expand: this protection is mandated by an Arbitration remedy and as such cannot be unprotectecd by fiat. The underlying remedies would need to be appealed first, and an appeal of the latter remedy I just linked failed within the past two weeks. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 19:37, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit be made to a protected page
    Please add an edit request to the talk page of the protected page before adding an edit request here
    Shortcut

    Requests for specific edits should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from adding a request there.

    Otherwise, this is the correct place to use in order to add an edit request if you are unable to add one to the article's talk page. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to properly add a request.

    Sports dynasty

    There is an ongoing edit war as to whether the San Francisco Giants are a dynasty in the MLB. However, this issue has only been an issue recently in the past few days when the issue was nonexistent for the last few years. I request that the section of the San Francisco Giants under the MLB dynasty be locked in and undeletable given that official MLB material classifies them as a dynasty and the existence of the San Antonio Spurs dynasty in the NBA having the same position in the page.
