    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.

    List of massacres in Bangladesh

    Ras Sedr massacre

    Reason: Request indef EC protection of this ARBPIA article. Frequent unsatisfactory non-EC edits. Zerotalk 14:10, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Mark Felton

    Reason: The subject of the article regularly makes edits (via IP address) which then have to be reverted by others due to being contrary to the results of earlier COI edit requests: e.g. recently [1], [2], [3]. See also, edits under a previous IP address here [4]. Some form of page protection would seem desirable to prevent IP addresses from editing the article directly. (Copying in Melcous who has had previous experience on this article.) Axad12 (talk) 14:30, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Having had the chance to look further into this issue, there is a recurring problem that has been going on since 2020 where various IP addresses, claiming to be the subject, either (a) make an edit contrary to COI policy, (b) make an edit contrary to COI policy and directly afterwards make a (rather redundant) COI edit request on the article talk page, (c) make a COI edit request and then make the edit themselves within an hour or so of making the request, or (d) make a COI edit request and then after it has been declined (they are almost all declined) make the edit themselves. These sorts of edits have been frequently reverted and the user has often been asked not to edit the article themselves. So, as per my earlier request, page protection to prevent the subject from editing the page via IP addresses would be appreciated. Axad12 (talk) 19:59, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Cobra Kai season 6

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – There have been a number of IPs adding a specific date for part 3 of this season without providing a reliable source. Netflix has not disclosed a specific date of release for this part of the season as of this point in time. MPFitz1968 (talk) 15:51, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Truck-kun

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Recent disruption by an IP editor. O.N.R. (talk) 17:13, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Adragon De Mello

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The IP is back to complain that saying this BLP's success is due to hard work is "defamation". User:Ohnoitsjamie semi-protected it for 3 months last year, which discouraged the IP temporarily. Perhaps we should consider a really long time, like a whole year?. WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:42, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Would make more sense just to block that IP if they persist. Feel free to ping me directly if they do. (Also, I reorganized the article a little bit). OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:38, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Right Now (Rihanna song)

    Template:Miss Teen USA

    Reason: Anon editor is repeatedly adding a redlink which is specifically discouraged in navigation elements, under WP:WTAF. Probably covered under WP:GS/PAGEANTS. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:56, 2 August 2024 (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 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.

    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.

    Not done, because this isn't an edit request, it's just a complaint. Use the article's talk page to discuss improvements to the article. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:08, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Anachronist, it looks like the talk page is semi-protected, so this request is in the right venue. I'm not sure if it is or isn't controversial, so I'm pasting the request at the article talk page. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:25, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • 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.
