    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.

    Upcoming Lana Del Rey album

    Reason: Request move protection: repeated move to former title of The Right Person Will Stay, sourced in article that the album name has been changed. U-Mos (talk) 09:55, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Paul Bilzerian

    Reason: Request for Semi-protection, page is of a BLP who have had a recent high level of media interest. It is being vandalised by anonymus unregistered user, making the with a negative bias viewpoin. Unregisterd user edits have been flagged for BLP issue or vandalism. Page is currently updated with neutral point of view an well sourced from published sources, in compliance with BLP. Junekramer1 (talk) 12:30, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined. It seems rather that your own editing is promotional. A protection disfavoring the IP is out of the question. Bishonen | tålk 21:53, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2025 Romanian presidential election

    Reason: Edit-warring in an ongoing election. Borgenland (talk) 14:11, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2025 Asia Cup

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A lot of speculation whether Pakistan might be excluded from the tournament following the tensions between India and Pakistan - but this is massively speculative at present and nothing seems to have been formalised. famous ex-Indian cricketer was quoted in the press this weekend, so we're getting lots of edits removing Pakistan and adding Nepal - all from IPs. Blue Square Thing (talk) 14:44, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Radhabinod Pal

    Reason: Original research used multiple times on page and no citations for nationality 2603:7000:2300:1697:1CA1:4660:B22:8111 (talk) 15:02, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Al-Balushi

    Indefinite semi-protection: Sockpuppetry. see page history. It's flooded with socks 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 15:57, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    BOAC Flight 777

    Indefinite move protection: Multiple times move from 777 to 777A without a shred of evidence. The Banner talk 16:13, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Jacob Fowler

    Temporary or indefinite semi-protection: See Laval Rocket entry. The Kip (contribs) 17:21, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 17:57, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Bbb23 I'm taking issue with this rationale and strongly urge you to reconsider - virtually all of the IPs you see editing on the page in recent memory are the same LTA, most of them have been temp-banned as sockpuppets, and Fowler's page itself was recent semi-protected for that exact reason. SPI has usually been slow on banning prior socks and protection is the best way to stop them at this point, considering 99% of their contribs are via IPs. The Kip (contribs) 20:00, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Mayhem promotional concerts

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent, ongoing disruptive editing and addition of unsourced content/original research by anonymous editors. livelikemusic (TALK!) 18:10, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hill Climb Racing 2

    Semi-protection: Repeated reverting of a redirect into a spam article by non-autoconfirmed users. Sophisticatedevening🍷(talk) 18:37, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Sun Wukong

    Pending changes: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 18:40, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kun Khmer

    Reason: consistent vandalism from same person. request semi-protection. Deidarasusanoo (talk) 19:05, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Dave McCormick

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – constant target of vandalism over the last few days. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 19:05, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Stage Front Stadium

    Reason: Persistent move-warring by User:Hako33, who is completely ignoring the procedure at WP:PCM despite multiple warnings. 162 etc. (talk) 19:43, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Safed

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – ARBPIA. PlotinusEnjoyer (talk) 20:40, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Why is this any more ARBPIA than any other article on a location in Israel? Ymblanter (talk) 21:21, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    France

    Reason: Indefinite move protection; I don't see any reason anybody should be changing France's title. HwyNerd Mike (talk | contribs) 21:10, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Khole Piza

    Move protection: Page title dispute/move warring. Aintabli (talk) 21:33, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of most-attended concerts

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 22:08, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • Reason: IPs and editors edit warring to include attendance estimates of 2,500,000 from media outlets, which are less reliable than outlets which include the 2,100,000 government estimate.

    Nikola Jokić

    Extended confirmed protection: block-evading sockpuppetry by auto-confirmed account. Left guide (talk) 22:09, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Mighty Doom

    Reason: Disruptive editing. Seems to be targeted, as the attempt to fully revert my editing was done on Stardew Valley also, only once though. I refrained from another revert to not break 3RR. Can someone of the board perform the revert in case this gets reviewed as positive? Vestigium Leonis (talk) 22:46, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined This seems to be a content dispute, and nobody has yet tried to resolve it on talk (hint, hint). Disfavoring the IP with semiprotection isn't appropriate. Bishonen | tålk 22:50, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Francisco Vidagany

    Reason: A sockpuppet is, bizarrely, creating death hoaxes on this obscure 1960s Spanish footballer. I've looked at sources in Spanish and this is not good faith editing without citing a source, it's a flat out hoax. As the subject is, respectfully, at an age when death is not unusual, I think this page should be protected to stop further hoaxes that would shock the family. Unknown Temptation (talk) 22:47, 4 May 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.

    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.
