Reason: IP vandalism. 67.230.43.70 (talk) 02:20, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: @67.230.43.70: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 02:34, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 03:28, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Addition of unsourced content and disruptive edits by IP. M S Hassan (talk | contributions) 04:18, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This article undergoes constant editing by IP addresses, who are eliminating stuff that is well-referenced. The revisions are not productive. DJ InstaMalik (talk) 05:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent Sockpuppetry. GrabUp - Talk 05:18, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – WP:LTA/GRP. Mtarch11 (talk) 05:53, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IPs back to remove mentions of criticism, soon after previous protection ended. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:16, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary pending changes: BLP policy violations – Regular IP edits accusing this LGBT writer of "grooming kids". Belbury (talk) 07:00, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary pending changes: A passing internet meme from 2022 about a fictional country that people pretended was real. Nearly all IP edits this year have been people removing "fictional" from the first sentence or lead, in the spirit of the joke. Belbury (talk) 07:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Following the recent controversy, the page has been subject to disruptive editing by multiple IP editors, including mass removal of content and BLP violations. Clog Wolf Howl 08:02, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.
Reason: Protection no longer needed over a decade. 49.150.14.10 (talk) 08:14, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Unprotection: Has been on pending changes protection for nearly six years, vandalism stopped not long after when temporary semi-protection was applied. No vandalism since the latter expired, so pending changes is hopefully not needed. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 09:50, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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.
