    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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. Edit warring by temporary accounts to insert poor grammar and WP:OR. TylerBurden (talk) 17:42, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    After Hours til Dawn Tour

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Immediate resume of same editing behaviours stemming from previous page protections. These protections will continue to be ongoing as this is the sixth protection request this year alone for the same editing behaviours, hence why request for indefinite over temporary protection at this point. livelikemusic (TALK!) 17:43, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    'Reason: Temporary semi-protection. Previously protected for a week, but the disruptive editing resumed immediately after the protection was lifted. Barry Wom (talk) 14:01, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Question: How are those edits disruptive? I see recent reverted as "unsourced," but the article entries added all had sources on the target article, which is fine for lists like this. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:41, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hmm, you might have a point there. Judging by this edit summary, [2], it's the same editor who was the main reason for the previous protection on the article, but having had a closer look at the edits, they appear to be behaving themselves better. Please cancel this request for the moment. Barry Wom (talk) 16:56, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Angolan Civil War

    Reason: Constant IP vandalism, edit warring, and removal of information since 23 October. At least 3 separate IP addresses have been used. When one IP address is blocked or warned with a disruptive editing template on their talk page, another one is used. Aside from the recent vandalism, no other IP contributions have been made since July. Article should be semi-protected for at least a month. Katangais (talk) 14:43, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Stjepan Lončar

    Semi-protection: IP vandalism (removal of prose, clubs from infobox, career statistics, categories, going against WP:FOOTY and heading standards), which has resumed today. Unregistered user(s) revert(s) previously made edits, with reasons such as 'trimming', 'removed unnecessary bits/excess information'. Issue was already raised a few months ago, but stopped shortly after a request to raise protection was submitted. KibolLP (talk) 17:44, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Danny Lauter

    Reason:

    Request to allow draft recreation: Danny Lauter Hello, I would like to request temporary unprotection of Draft:Danny Lauter so that I can recreate the page in draft space following Wikipedia notability and sourcing standards.

    The previous deletions occurred before significant independent coverage was available. Since then, there have been new independent articles and media coverage (I can provide sources). The new version will be fully cited, neutral, and based only on reliable sources.

    Thank you for considering an unprotection or administrator-assisted recreation in draft space.

    ~2025-32618-95 (talk) 14:01, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @~2025-32618-95: forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I think you can also create a draft in your own userspace. Like so: User:~2025-32618-95/Danny Lauter. You can also create an account, and then post the content on your User: page. Good luck, Manifestation (talk) 16:47, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected – Please create a sourced version of this article in a subpage or your userspace. When this is done, please make the request again, or ask any administrator to move the page for you. Favonian (talk) 15:37, 11 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.

    Not done – Quoting from the article: It is also celebrated by Kannada people in the similarly named Gumtapuram village in Thalavadi taluk of Erode district. In other words: two places of almost the same name in two adjacent states. Favonian (talk) 15:48, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
