Reason: Permanent semi-protection: Contentious topic sanctioned under, WP:GS/SCW&ISIL. Ecrusized (talk) 12:18, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Looks like mostly normal editing so far ... thankfully. Daniel Case (talk) 03:23, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

User(s) blocked : 133.32.224.177 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case . for six months. "Warm regards" ... maybe not the best salutation considering the subject of the article for which protection is being requested. Daniel Case (talk) 03:49, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated unsourced/fake cast and crew details, a lot of it coming from User:Bigboss19923 evading a block. Belbury (talk) 14:05, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 15:51, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 15:59, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism it's lio! | talk | work 16:28, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: Now for archival purposes, does not need to be edited anymore. The real JustSomeoneNo (talk) 17:48, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Pages within the user space should not be automatically or preemptively protected without good reason or cause. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:08, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The same IP keeps edit warring by adding rows to a table, without engaging in the concerns raised. SMasonGarrison 18:30, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite template protection: High-risk template – The bot was supposed to do it by now. (CC) Tbhotch TM 18:51, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Laun chba ller 21:55, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent IP vandalism in the last four weeks. Chrisahn (talk) 22:08, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Block evasion by Special:Contributions/198.24.31.113 and Special:Contributions/2001:579:A000:3D0:0:0:0:0/64. Binksternet (talk) 22:41, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Intense Anti-Turkish sentiment attacks. Elazığ Ahmet (talk) 23:05, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Looking back a month in the article's history, I see no malicious edits. And it's already extended-confirmed protected, it has been since 2021. Largoplazo (talk) 23:47, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Please report at WP:ANI if there are any user conduct issues. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:08, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: IP vandalism that has been going on for literally years, ascribing various random games to the developer. The page protection should most likely be indefinite because the vandal is extremely persistent. Phazd (talk|contribs) 23:13, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism, recent event. MB 2437 23:21, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Edit warring by new SPAs and IPs. MarioGom (talk) 23:53, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Template protection: High-risk template – ECP ineffective, in fact only having EC led to some really nasty high-visibility vandalism that made its way to AN, and has been caught by search engines. Jay Cubby 00:14, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Done This is closer to the line for when protection is warranted than the other entries above, but it's on the right side of the line. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:08, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. The page Grammelot needs the same protection from a group of IPs adding excessive external links. Binksternet (talk) 00:47, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot I Talk to my owner:Online 00:59, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
    Already protected by administrator Aoidh . Sdrqaz (talk) 03:08, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – It's part of the Arab-Israeli conflict, which is a contentious topic. That's why I believe it should be ECP'd. OpalYosutebito (talk) 02:35, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Last five edits go back to 2023. While obviously part of the Palestinian topic area, it doesn't seem strictly within the Arab–Israeli conflict and so doesn't need to be extended-confirmed protected by default. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:08, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – ARBPIA. PlotinusEnjoyer (talk) 03:01, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent IP vandalism. ~Darth Stabro Talk • Contribs 03:05, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Vandalized by the same user allegedly over and over again. Please give extended auto-confirmed protection to this page, as the person with subjective edits already has auto-confirmed status. He keeps inserting his own opinion, and not adhering to WP:NPOV policies. Pineapplethen (talk) 03:24, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Full protection: Edit-warring/content dispute. Left guide (talk) 03:27, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit ]
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

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.

Reason: Its called the "Gulf of America" and im trying to correct it, but the page is protected. 94.6.3.148 (talk) 23:12, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Not done. (That's the reason the page is protected.) Please see the many discussions linked at Talk:Gulf of Mexico. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:17, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

[edit ]
Request a specific edit 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.

"Do you want to take a survey?"

[edit ]

On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.

On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.

Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.

Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers

[edit ]

Up to Dec 16, 2003, all the edits at these anonymous id's were mine (59 edits):

More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.
