Already protected by administrator Discospinster. Semi-protection, which seems sufficient since there aren't any autoconfirmed users apart from an extended-confirmed user. The only protection that would prevent them would be full protection, and I'm not sure anyone wants that. Please discuss on the talk page. Sdrqaz (talk) 23:09, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. Apart from Special:Diff/1282870969, most of the IP edits are actually in good faith and are fine. Sdrqaz (talk) 23:09, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Beyond the Gates (TV series)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Immediate resume of previous editing behaviours stemming from previous protection; while I am sure only temporary will be given, WP:DUCK applies, as exampled as other American soap pages (ie: General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, et al.) that this will be an ongoing issue. livelikemusic (TALK!) 18:53, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Please the protection must be this: "Auto-accept: require "autoconfirmed" permission". With this we're avoiding a lot of trouble.--2800:484:7382:B00:80DD:120A:300C:80B8 (talk) 02:54, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. Daniel Case (talk) 02:57, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
Thank you @Daniel Case. :) I will be back if they start targeting other articles. BOZ (talk) 03:26, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
@Daniel Case, one of the IPs that was likely being used by the same person was blocked for a year as an LTA case: [14] Would it make sense for me to share the rest of the IPs with you in case anything further needs to be done here? They are either meatpuppeting or just one person who is able to hop IPs often. BOZ (talk) 04:44, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
I can't do it now but I can take a look later and see what ranges they might be on that might not have been blocked at the moment. Daniel Case (talk) 04:49, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: 2800:484:7380:0:0:0:0:0/44 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for two weeks, actually (this includes the editor who posted upthread, interestingly.) Daniel Case (talk) 04:55, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
@BOZ They are either meatpuppeting or just one person who is able to hop IPs often. Definitely the latter. It's JeanCastì, who was blocked in 2023 and has since been using various sockpuppets and IP addresses.[15] Barry Wom (talk) 08:27, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
Wow yeah, he's been at this for a while. I don't know if you would want to look at likely stale IPs but I could gather a list of ones I've seen fighting over the same edits for the last couple of years or so. The one Daniel blocked has been in use steadily since 2021 so he will undoubtedly return to it. I see that range was previously blocked in November 2021, and I see more block activity earlier this year. Looks like you have been dealing with them for a while as well Barry. BOZ (talk) 09:25, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
I doubt a trawl for the IPs he's used in the past would be of much use. His M.O. is to abandon IP ranges when they're blocked and move to others.
Wow yeah, he's been at this for a while. He sure has - over eight years, in fact. The earliest incarnation I could track down was this one, blocked in 2017. Barry Wom (talk) 10:20, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
Such a bizarre behavior, but I guess it's not uncommon for some reason. BOZ (talk) 14:56, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Over a period of nearly five years, you've had two edit requests rejected (Special:PermaLink/1199291245). Rather than open up the article for editing, I'd prefer that you make a new request with satisfactory sources. Favonian (talk) 18:03, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Gaie Delap

Reason: I am making this request in a preventative context. There have been no real issues on Wikipedia EN thus far. One recent IP edit should be presumed to be in good faith. But externally there are small examples of Delap being drawn into wider culture wars. Delap is more vulnerable than most, being 87 years old, female, and a Quaker. And the Just Stop Oil climate activist group is clearly a controversial organization.

Gaza genocide

"Israeli soldiers have summarily executed Palestinian civilians, often in front of their families." This is one citation that leads to another citation (why not list the original reference?) where it describes a single alleged incident that has been disputed. The original citation is careful to use the term 'alleged' and 'still under verification' and yet the wiki page does not say 'alleged' or 'accused of' - and goes on to add the word 'often', even though only one alleged incident is referenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.230.248.39 (talk) 02:19, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

From the source: The facts below show that Israel has killed Palestinian
civilians in Gaza indiscriminately and en masse . . . Israeli military forces have shot civilians in front of their families,

This article is about a LRT station that was launched in January this year.

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Lots of changes to the date of birth without proper sourcing, even ignoring whitespace instructions to provide sourcing for DOB changes. Prior protections expired and it appears the page went about a month before going right on back to the same problems it appears to have been protected for. This was originally at EFR, and I am referring here. EggRoll97 (talk) 17:04, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

(non-admin comment) - Support – Thanks! twisted. (user | talk | contribs) 19:12, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
(non-admin comment) - Strong Support – This has seriously gone far enough. Too many users trying to change the birthdates on her page, but none of them are even trying to find sources for the DOB changes.
Personally I would have preferred it if an edit filter could be setup to stop the unsourced DOB changes, so that those who want to make other changes to her page can do so. Which is why I requested that an edit filter be setup first.
But as that apparently isn't an option, temporary semi-protection would be the next best thing. I think the page should be semi-protected for a longer period of time this time than last time. Since the 15-17 age debate is clearly still at an all time high. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 06:10, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Presumably the intended page is Bensonhurst, Brooklyn (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) and not the given redirect. I don't really see the need to protect the page just yet given the rate of disruption so far, and it will not stop the user responsible since they are actively disrupting a numerous other articles with fake demographic information their recent edits have now largely been reverted on known ranges If I were still active and had the time I would actively recommend holding off for the moment to gather more data and lock down some patterns and ranges using a known repeat target. However I don't have the time these years to actively monitor this or really any pages, and especially not in the coming month. If someone else wants to take this on fine, otherwise it can be protected but it's unlikely to reduce disruption to any significant degree. 184.152.65.118 (talk) 03:48, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Oasis (band)

Section to Edit: Legacy (currently underdeveloped) Proposed New Subsection Title: “Cultural and Academic Impact” Why: Although the Oasis (band) Wikipedia entry covers the band’s biography, discography, and commercial success in detail, the Legacy section lacks a comprehensive analysis of the band’s deeper cultural and academic significance. As one of the most influential bands of the 1990s, Oasis shaped not just music but also British identity, fashion, masculinity, and class politics. Since their emergence in the early 1990s, Oasis have been credited not only with defining the sound of Britpop but also with shaping post-Thatcher working-class identity in Britain. Scholars have interpreted their influence as extending far beyond music into cultural, political, and academic discourse. Music sociologist Andy Bennett describes Oasis as "the sonic voice of Northern pride in a time of cultural centralization" (Bennett, 2001). Their use of regional accents, lyrical themes, and public personas resonated with disaffected youth, especially in industrial cities. The band’s fashion—parkas, trainers, and mod haircuts—helped solidify a subcultural identity later studied in fashion sociology (Woodward, 2009). Academic analyses have also focused on their gender performance and stage dynamics. Neil Nehring suggests that Liam Gallagher’s performance style mixed rebellion and introspection, presenting a hybrid form of postmodern masculinity (Nehring, 1997). Meanwhile, Noel Gallagher’s songwriting has been the subject of literary analysis, with researchers noting his use of anthemic choruses and nostalgic lyricism as devices of collective memory (Shuker, 2001). Historian Keith Gildart contends that Oasis embodied the voice of post-industrial, working-class youth in Britain. Their music captured everyday realities and aspirations, fostering a deep cultural resonance that contributed to the band's enduring nostalgic value for a generation that came of age during significant social and economic transformation (Gildart, 2013). Their albums—especially (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? —are often cited in academic literature about emotional resonance and branding in music (Frith, 1996). The band's influence has also entered formal education. Oasis lyrics have been featured in cultural studies and sociolinguistics syllabi, often analyzed for their representation of urban vernacular and social class. This academic presence reflects a broader recognition of the band as more than entertainment: a cultural artifact worthy of critical inquiry. [1] Bennett, Andy. Cultures of Popular Music.

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary as there has not been any edit wars or disruptive editing for 15 years. last year, I requested that this page be unprotected and an Admin promised, but I never heard back from them which upset me a lot and made me very angry. if you don't want to unprotect it, then provide a reason why, but don't leave me hanging. 70.53.89.38 (talk) 04:10, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Islam in Gabon

Hello,

I would like to request semi-protection or extended protection for this article. There have been repeated edits attempting to alter the cultural and religious identity of Gabon, claiming it is a “Muslim country” and that certain ethnic groups from West Africa (such as the Hausa) are indigenous to Gabon.

These claims are historically inaccurate and do not reflect the recognized demographics of the country. Gabon is a predominantly Christian and animist nation, and while there has been economic immigration from neighboring countries, including from Muslim communities, this does not redefine the national identity or native heritage of the Gabonese people.

These edits appear to be part of a coordinated effort to reframe Gabon’s identity and history in ways that are not supported by sources or historical consensus. It could be considered a form of ethno-religious revisionism, which goes against Wikipedia’s standards of neutrality and verifiability.

I kindly request protection of the page to prevent further biased or disruptive edits.

Thank you.

You said: Wikipedia page lock kaise kare ChatGPT said: Wikipedia par kisi page ko aap personally "lock" nahi kar sakte, lekin Wikipedia ke administrators (admins) kisi page ko protect kar sakte hain agar:

Us page par vandalisme (galat ya badle jaise edits) ho raha ho

Bahut zyada edit wars chal rahe ho

Page high-profile ya controversial ho (jaise Narendra Modi, Kashmir, etc.)

Lock hone ke types: Semi-protection – Sirf registered users edit kar sakte hain.

Request for Semi-Protection: Samastipur

Hello,

I would like to request semi-protection for the Wikipedia page Samastipur. The page has recently seen frequent vandalism and non-constructive edits, which is affecting the quality and reliability of the content.

Examples of issues:

Repeated addition of incorrect or unsourced information

Unnecessary blanking of sections

Promotional or irrelevant content being added

To prevent further disruption and maintain the integrity of the article, I kindly request temporary semi-protection.

Thank you. Sahil99906 (talk) 08:11, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Declined OP, you have repeatedly tried to insert pictures here; removing them is not vandalism....people just disagree if they areneeded or helpful. So please use the article talk-page to hash things out. Lectonar (talk) 13:24, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

List of Kid vs. Kat characters

Unprotection: Redirect was protected years ago. It now leads to a broken anchor. RanDom 404 (talk) 18:39, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

@Bearcat: as protecting admin. Daniel Case (talk) 01:34, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
I think the section should be restored, which would fix the problem of the broken anchor. The section was deleted by a sock, then never restored before the article was protected. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:06, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
Unprotected. Bearcat has edited since the ping, so he should be aware of this request. Whether the section should be restored or whether the redirect should be taken to RfD if the section isn't restored is an editorial decision and shouldn't be an administrative one. Sdrqaz (talk) 04:27, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Camp Rock 2

Unprotection: No longer needs protection. @HangingCurve:. RanDom 404 (talk) 13:15, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

HangingCurve is no longer an admim. @RanDom 404: Why do you think the article doesn't need protection anymore? Lectonar (talk) 13:38, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
It isn't an article, it's a redirect. A case could be made for turning it into a disambiguation page because there are two articles beginning with "Camp Rock 2". ~Anachronist (talk) 02:50, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
Unprotected as the reason for protection no longer applies: this was protected because a sequel hadn't been confirmed yet. The sequel was released 15 years ago now, so whether a disambiguation page is created is an editorial decision. Sdrqaz (talk) 04:27, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Susan Wojcicki

Unprotection: The subject of the article died last year, and this article no longer needs semi-protection because BLP no longer applies. The subject's article is not controversial, and has not had editing conflicts. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 22:11, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Unprotected. Interest in the subject is far lower than it was when she was CEO of YouTube, based on page views. Sdrqaz (talk) 04:27, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

No Game No Life

Reason: Per WP:TRYUNPROT. The article has been indefinitely semi-protected since 2020 after a history of disruption. As the article has been protected for several years now it might be worth testing to see if protection is still warranted or not, without prejudice against a return to protection should disruption resume. Already asked the protecting admin JzG about it and he was unsure if protection should not be removed or if it should, so consider this also a request for a second opinion. If there are any lingering concerns about disruption, rather than full unprotection the protection could instead be lowered to pending changes to see if that could address any possible disruption. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:00, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I don't understand why you've made this revert and generational talents don't get special protections under the protection policy, unfortunately. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:23, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Titanic (film)

Unprotection: No edits since 2018 so protection could be lowered at least. Could use a retarget to List of films about the Titanic, the primary subject. RanDom 404 (talk) 13:21, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

@RanDom 404: I suppose you mean Titanic (film), which has no edits since 2018 since it is fully protected. Also, it is already a redirect to Titanic (disambiguation)#Films. Why would we need to unprotect the redirect? Lectonar (talk) 13:34, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
Not unprotected. No valid reason given. If there's a WP:RM discussion that was recently closed about it, reply and we can reconsider. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:46, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Better approach is to block the requisite IPs, which I'll do now for the most recent one (The IP's /64 was already blocked.) ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 16:36, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Anne Hathaway

Reason: Indefinite semi-protection. This article was semi-protected for a year, and was recently unprotected. However ever since it was unprotected at the start of March, nearly every single edit has been an IP being unconstructive and someone reverting the edit. It'd make it much easier for the constructive editors if we could do this early on rather than later to limit IPs and new editors, considering this article is about a high-profile actress; we did have to this for Tom Holland very recently. 750h+ 14:08, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Copts

Reason: Extended confirmed protection: Persistent removal of academic sources, misusing quotes, and erasing scientific data. Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry, creating new accounts that surprisingly happen to be there, acting as multiple persons.[30].

Turnopoems who started the RFC agreed that the whole disputed content should be removed (as it's spammed throughout the article multiple times, anyway), until a consensus is reached. But surprisingly a newly made account (April 2025) also kept removing the scientific data, and not the whole paragraph, acting as a sockpuppet, removing only the academic sources and keeping the primary and nationalistic ones. Fragrant Peony (talk) 21:02, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Fragrant Peony, pages can't be extended-confirmed protected unless semi-protection has been proven inefficient or they're part of a contentious topic... WP:CT/HORN would be a stretch, though, I think. If this is sockpuppetry, page protection wouldn't really solve the issue anyway. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:41, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Miss World 1961

Reason: Request to protect page This page has been repeatedly deleted, moved, and redirected to other unrelated pages. Even after being restored or recreated, it is often redirected again without proper discussion or consensus. These actions have happened multiple times and are disruptive to users and editors who are trying to improve or maintain the content. I kindly request that the page be protected from being moved or redirected further, at least temporarily, until there is a clear consensus. Thank you for your consideration.

Aristides de Sousa Mendes

Reason: There has been repeated removal of stable, well-sourced content by an IP editor and a cluster of newly registered accounts, all with a single-purpose focus. The accounts seem to make minor edits to obscure their intent, while the IP handles the actual deletion of content. This appears coordinated. Warnings have been issued, and discussion has been attempted on the talk page without engagement. J Pratas (talk) 02:00, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

The accusation that I am in any way coordinating with anyone is a false and unfounded aspersion. There is a credible accusation of sock-puppetry but it has nothing to do with me (obviously), and semi-protection would not solve it. Also, certainly the least engaged actor on the talk-page is J Pratas, who is dismissive of all opposed arguments, no matter how straightforward they are. There is administrative attention needed for behavioral issues at that page, but this is not it. 100.36.106.199 (talk) 10:14, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Recent problematic edits are all from the 2804:7f20:11a:ea01::/64 range. They have been often reverted, but very rarely warned, making it controversial to block them. I know it's difficult to "catch the attention" of ever-changing IPv6 addresses, but an attempt should at least be made. Favonian (talk) 15:59, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Ranjit Singh Ahir

Hello admins,

I would like to request **semi-protection** (or full protection, if needed) for the article Ranjit Singh Ahir.

The article is being repeatedly **vandalized** by anonymous or new users. Most notably, someone changed the name and details to "**Hare Krishna Singh**", which is completely incorrect and misleading. The subject of the article is *Ranjit Singh Ahir*, a known freedom fighter from Bihar who was active in the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

Such repeated disruptions are affecting the authenticity and reliability of the article. To prevent further misinformation, I kindly request that the page be protected.

Thank you for your time and support. ShyamRay011 (talk) 19:36, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Julian Bunetta

Reason: I would like request the removal of page protection for Julian Bunetta. This page was salted in March 2020 following a successful AfD, and from the comments there, it seems like he failed WP:MUSICBIO at the time and that the content was lacking. While I'm sure that as true at the time, Bunetta's rise in profile, the significant increase in coverage about him, and his recent Grammy nominations made him seem a little overdue for a page, so I've been working on putting that together for the last month or so. I created a draft in my userspace that includes a plethora of sources and information about his life and career, and I think it warrants the removal of creation protection.

As an extra note, I also plan to make a discography page for him due to the volume of his work if this protection is lifted, so the existing discography section would split out to that page and expanded to include non-singles. Sock (tock talk) 00:21, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I'd like to request full protection for the article "Caste system in Nepal" due to ongoing issues with frequent disruptive edits.

Given how sensitive caste-related topics are — especially in Nepal's context — the article is at high risk of edit wars and POV-pushing. To maintain a balanced and factual tone, I believe full protection is necessary until a stable version is agreed upon through proper discussion.

Protecting the page would:

Prevent further vandalism and bias

Encourage contributors to use the talk page for consensus

Ensure all edits are well-sourced and neutral

I deeply respect the efforts of the editing community and hope this step helps maintain Wikipedia’s standards on such an important and sensitive topic.

Thank you for your consideration. 🙏 2400:1A00:B1C0:5697:AD4B:A7C1:3FB6:6555 (talk) 08:03, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

COVID-19 lab leak theory

Reason: I am requesting 6 months of ECP for Talk:COVID-19 lab leak theory, and for Talk:Origin of SARS-CoV-2. All COVID topics are already considered contentious topics (WP:CT/COVID), and both of these article main pages are already protected by ECP.

The talk pages, however, have suffered under a truly withering barrage of endless requests that we depart from the standard of scientific consensus, and treat the concept of a laboratory leak as highly plausible. In the last two weeks alone, 11,000 words have been written at Talk:Origin of SARS-CoV-2 (33 single-spaced pages in word), with IP addresses and SPAs all asking editors to change the article.

The pattern of discussion in each new talk page topic is the same: an editor with relatively few edits proposes a change to the article emphasizing a potential laboratory leak [50], discussion quickly descends into accusations and fruitless argument [51], and thousands of words are written before the discussion is closed [52]. Then, hours later, another and similarly pointless topic is opened with the same agenda [53].

Editors are complaining of burnout, and you can see why. ECP on the talk pages would not impede article improvement, but would significantly reduce the strain and stress on editors working in this publicly contentious area. -Darouet (talk) 19:20, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

P.S. I'm not sure if this is the right location to post but Tryptofish suggested that any competent administrator can decide to apply ECP to these talk pages given that COVID is already deemed contentious (WP:CT/COVID). Tryptofish your input also welcome. -Darouet (talk) 19:22, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
I actually said uninvolved, rather than competent, and I'm sure y'all are competent. Anyway, my advice came out of the discussion at User talk:Bon courage#These covid pages are exhausting, where it sure sounds to me like those talk pages are, indeed, needlessly exhausting. This is a matter of CTOP, and I hope no one minds that the request ended up here rather than at WP:AE, but it does very much seem to me that it would be a good idea for an admin, acting under CTOP authority, to grant this request. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:46, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
I'm not sure if protection is the answer as much as not feeding the trolls. The regular editors are under no obligation to answer or engage in these discussions to the extent they seem to be doing. I would also suggest following the lead of many other talk pages of contentious articles and putting a FAQ up top basically saying, we are not discussing this issue here anymore without some change in the facts underlying consensus. Because I think protection here goes beyond the scope of what CTOPS authorizes, and when we have applied ECP to other talk pages (something we do not do lightly).
Now, if ArbCom itself were to specifically authorize this here, that would be different. Daniel Case (talk) 20:59, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Tryptofish: right, thanks for the clarification and further explanation!
Daniel Case, my sense is that editors fear that an erroneous "consensus" will form to dismantle these articles if they restrict their involement, so, they remain involved, and as I noted above, the pace and consistency of these continued efforts are withering. The talk pages have also noted that there are calls on social media to recruit people to edit Wikipedia's articles on these topics.
Sadly, and this is my own deficiency, I am wholly incompetent to approach Arbcom: I've been editing Wikipedia for a while and everything about Arbcom - its processes, how to understand its decisions, etc - remain wholly mysterious to me. -Darouet (talk) 01:29, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
Well, the problem is that there is nothing going on on these talk pages that rises to the level of disruptive editing sufficient to justify protection IMO. New editors civilly propose information, civilly discuss it with existing editors ... what's disruptive about that? It's how, by our own standards, these things are to be handled. No regular reverting, no profane IP outbursts at Wikipedia or certain editors, no repeated reposting of rejected edit requests ... all things that we have experienced on other CTOPS talk pages that we have protected (save Talk:Taylor Swift, where too many people have arrived from, I suppose, searching on "talk to Taylor Swift" and assumed that that page had a direct connection to her phone).
Yes, there has been a little pushing and shoving, particularly between one five-day-old account (a likely SPA, it seems to me from their POINT-y behavior) and one regular editor on those two pages whose brusque responses aren't helping matters). But that's not enough to justify the bluelock, or even (at this point) a gray one.
Any admin's decision to unilaterally ECP that talk page right now is likely going to be portrayed as some sort of censorship effort ... and you know what? That perception would be legitimate IMO—established editors, generally tending towards sources that support one side of this more than the other (Although I should say the lab-leak article does, to me, fairly represent the point of view that there was a lab leak, which is the most important thing to worry about here), ask that access to the talk page be limited to similarly established editors because they're afraid the article might have to be changed by our own rules, via an unprecedented use of administrative power. How would that not look suspect?
For now I really think the best measure would be to have some sort of FAQ template on the talk pages, listing all the sources proposed for use and why we're not considering them reliable enough to use in the article, so we can just point to that instead of rehashing those reasons in the talk discussion (We might also take more affirmative steps to identify where on social media these coordinated efforts are originating from so that we can more clearly identify them as such when those users get here).
If we want to ask ArbCom if we can do this to repel a possibly offwiki-coordinated sealioning effort, then in addition to any evidence of offwiki activity we would need piles of diffs (or at least links to the sections on the talk pages). My talk page has been freshly archived, so there's space. You can also email me if you think it's better off keeping that confidential. Daniel Case (talk) 02:02, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
I'd note arbcom specifically declined making ARBECR a remedy admins could impose on a case by case where it doesn't already apply and that would be a lesser page level restriction. Nil Einne (talk) 06:38, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
1. Discussion is mostly civil, related to an expert survey, German intelligence, the CIA statement, the French press release, and the DIA analysis, in that order. Are editors expecting not to have to discuss these sources?? Consensus building is how this place works...
2. This request for protection has not been mentioned on the talk page--is it going to be? Or is the talk page too problematic to discuss how problematic the talk page is?? SmolBrane (talk) 03:26, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
  • Oppose A remedy against repetitive request is long well known: keeping archives and referring the newbies to them without long chat. One can even partially violate a no-edit rule for archive by allowing anchors to perennial topics. Another way is Q&A page. If the IP persists despite the 'rtfm' advise, simply do not engage, because consensus is already established. --Altenmann >talk 03:41, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
Declined I agree with the opinions above that: 1) the disruption doesn't rise to the level where protection of a talk-page would be considered necessary, 2) the discussions are, for the overwhelming part, held in a civil manner, 3) an ecp-protection would probably be seen as cutting off discussion(s) bordering on censorship. In some ways, this talk-page looks like the talk-page of a controversial topic should ideally look: mostly friendly, hassle-free discussions and exchange on how to proceed. Yes, it can be exhausting, but only to the regular looker (who will need patience to answer the same questions over and over again)....for most people dropping in and leaving remarks it isnt. So, having an FAQ section on talk-pages (see Talk:George Floyd as example) is mostly helpful, and can be used to point new users in the right direction without too much effort.

Reason: Page has been repeatedly edited by those seeking to insert their political biases as "facts." Some have issue with this figure because of certain politics she represents, and so they seek to discredit the information on the page. This has resulted in a constant back-and-forth between those who want only factual information in the article and those with an axe to grind and wishing to dishonestly present their own editorializing and punditry as factual.

Given the extended period of time this conflict has gone on for and the lack of reprieve the page has gotten, the chance of this continuing is high without page protection. 2600:4040:7A76:B400:4816:BEF7:53AB:6B20 (talk) 11:15, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Lee Thompson Young

Reason: This article was semi-protected in September 2013 due to an edit war over using an image in the infobox. 12 years later, I think the protection isn't needed anymore as there is currently a fair use photo on the infobox and there's been no edit war against it nor any edits to the article in over seven months. I think we should try unprotecting it. Kaptain Yummy (talk) 00:54, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Request to reduce the protection level of this page from fully protected to semi-protected. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kushwaha Reason: There is no current high level of vandalism or edit wars.

Not unprotected. I suspect this experiment would quickly fail, like your proposed unprotection of rat, which failed within minutes of the protection being reduced to PCP, which was ineffective. There are good reasons why some articles are protected indefinitely. Just because time has passed is not a reason to create instability and more work for others with experiments. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:39, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

List of highest-grossing films in Nepal

Reason: Extremely high level of IP vandalism. This page needs a permanent protection. Temporary protection has been tried multiple times but to no great success. As soon as the protection period ends, IP users vandalize the page, undermining its credibility. The attempts to keep the list as accurate as possible citing credible sources and references has been of no use due to vandalism. So, I think this page should be protected permanently, or else this page will have no credibility at all. It will be waste of efforts we put to make Wikipedia better.

Kushwaha

I would like to request that the term "Shudra varna" be removed from the article in reference to the Kushwaha community. This label is not universally accepted and lacks sufficient, reliable, and neutral citations from academic or government sources. Including such a classification without proper verification can misrepresent the community and promote caste-based bias.

If there is strong, verifiable evidence that supports this classification from peer-reviewed or official documents, please provide it. Otherwise, the term should be removed to maintain neutrality and avoid any caste-based suppression on Wikipedia.

I have already added this concern to the talk page, but received no response so far. Thank you. Bhaskar sunsari (talk) 14:24, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (film)

Reason: The protection is no longer nesscary because it has been 3 months since someone did disruptive editing on the page back in January, and I would like to see this un-protected like the other "Sonic" films by Paramount.

This is incorrect, it is protected due to extensive disruption. Strongly against this. Sergecross73 msg me 20:53, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Centre Port

Reason: Both a registered user and several IP addresses keep removing cited information from this article. The issue revolves around a section where Centrica announced their support for the project in the early days. Through edit summaries, and on the registered users' talk page (Jamessutcliffe), I have asked they they do not remove the information, but update the article to state that Centrica supported it at the start, but now do not because of whatever the reason is that they have changed their minds. At least three other users (Bored kittycat, TheM1sty, and im really bad at this) besides myself, all agree the information should be retained and amended in the prose to reflect the now lack of support.

Moderator said it didn't have enough recent activity to justify protection but it was most recently vandalized on April 3rd by 97.68.255.154. It's sneaky vandalism like "as he was unable to be accepted by a real university" that is going unnoticed by editors and moderators for months. Or when editors do catch it they don't catch all of the vandalism. 38.42.65.129 (talk) 11:04, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

List of trans-Neptunian objects

Temporary semi-protection -- Since February, multiple IPs are used to evade a block for sockpuppetry (1, 2), always to edit this specific article (the last three IPs who edited the article all belong to the same blocked user). The edits had previously resulted in multiple discussions at AN/I, due to wrong/misleading information being added, often in ways that are very hard to recognize. I hope that a protection for, say, a few months may deter them from trying again. Renerpho (talk) 23:56, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

KiBam

Reason: In the lead-up to the 2025 Philippine Senate elections scheduled for May 12, 2025, the article has been repeatedly targeted by anonymous users introducing politically motivated edits, unsourced claims, and biased language. These disruptions compromise the neutrality and reliability of the article, particularly as political campaigning intensifies and public attention increases. This request is consistent with Wikipedia’s protection policy, which permits page protection in cases of persistent vandalism or disruption during high-profile events such as national elections.[1]

The 2025 Senate race is highly competitive, with 12 seats up for election and multiple high-profile candidates generating substantial public and media interest.[2] Political discourse surrounding these candidates has already led to disinformation efforts on various platforms, which can spill into Wikipedia edits.[3]

Given these circumstances, semi-protection is requested to prevent further disruption and ensure that the article remains a stable and reliable source of information during this politically sensitive time. Enzoeditwikicom (talk) 14:45, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

this explanation sounds like it’s written with AI, so… it’s because new users keep adding unsourced candidates to the article, and keep adding Heidi to the senate slate section even though she’s not on the slate. ApexParagon (talk) 23:39, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason:Vandalism on his bithdate. I checked article’s history, many IP trying to input his birthdate without any source.

We should protect the article for stop IP vandalism as they are still changing birthdate without source. Afstromen (talk) 06:54, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Declined "Why not" isn't a compelling rationale for lowering the protection. The article has a long history of disruptive editing, and it seems to be a magnet for problems. The current level is only semi-protected, which is a low bar, and editors can always use the talk page to request changes. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 10:01, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: The subject of this article recently made a "deathbed confession" that he touched a UFO or something.

List of all-time NBA win–loss records

Reason: Last year, I requested protection (see further discussion here); that request was ultimately denied and I let it go, believing that yes, they were frustrating edits, but that it would be better to err on the side of assuming good faith. However, once again an IP editor (from a newly-used IP) has made disruptive edits:

Recently, other IP editors have just simply caused more work to be done through edits that have:

Also, even before the massive amounts of IP edits that have been made since 2024, there has historically been vandalizing by IP editors on this page across several years; examples include: 2017 (1); 2018 (2); 2019 (4, 5); 2022 (6, 7); 2023 (8). The nature of this list being the win-loss records of NBA teams probably attracts some NBA fans to inflate or deflate a team's win-loss record based on their feelings about that team, which is something I've seen over on the analogous NFL list from my time editing that one.

I previously nominated this list for featured list status in 2022, but withdrew the nomination at the time. I think the list is currently a lot closer to FL than it was when I withdrew that nom, but the IP edits have created a lot more work to then have to clean up. Considering that in 2024, there were more unregistered edits to this list than from 2015-2023 combined, and that already in 2025, there have been more unregistered edits than in any year prior to 2024, I do not have confidence that these unregistered edits will slow down or make things easier to maintain. So, I am once again kindly requesting any form of page protection. Soulbust (talk) 00:21, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Since I made this request, unregistered edits have once again:
Please add a page protection to aid with this issue. Soulbust (talk) 09:24, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: 2401:E180:8000::/33 (talk · contribs). This editor has been disrupting related articles as well and has been blocked before, so I have blocked them for three months. I don't think that protection is warranted otherwise. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:32, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Long term sock farm (WP:Sockpuppet investigations/StayCalmOnTress).

Talk:2025 Pahalgam attack

Reason: Disruptive WP:FORUM, WP:ASPERSIONS and WP:DENY editing by IPs. Too bad a lot of well-meaning editors fell for dignifying them with replies. Borgenland (talk) 07:57, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Declined. The bar for protecting discussion pages is quite high, and there don't seem to have been that many disruptive off-topic comments since this request was made. Removing unconstructive posts is probably a better approach here. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:57, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

The Lifetimes Tour

Reason: The page should be protected to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its content. Since it may be a high-profile or frequently visited page, allowing unregistered users to edit it increases the risk of vandalism, misinformation, or unverified changes. Editedit446 (talk) 09:54, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) This looks like a request for pre-emptive protection. Apart from today's featured page (the article that appears on the Main Page), that is not done. Protection is applied only when a page is disrupted so frequently that reverting and blocking individual editors is insufficient to manage the problem. QwertyForest (talk) 15:28, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
Declined - duplicate request. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:59, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

List of Coronation Street characters

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Requesting this is upped from indefinite pending changes to indefinite semi-protection. It would benefit reviewers from reverting numerous unsourced edits per week, and would bring it in line with List of EastEnders characters, where unregistered editors request for an edit to be made with a source. – Meena • 11:16, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Declined - as far as I can see there are more reviewed revisions accepted than reverted, other than maybe in the last few days. Those accepted edits would have been lost if the page was semiprotected instead; see WP:BATHWATER. I think this request is premature. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:06, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Protecting until the next season starts seems extreme for this level of vandalism, but if it continues then pending changes might be more appropriate over a longer term. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:46, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Kazaam

Reason: Request permanent semi-protection. Continued vandalism from IPs who insist "Shazaam" exists (and other minor vandalism/bad edits). It was already protected earlier back in December 2023, but I believe the one-year expiry was a mistake because the vandalism has continued. Koopinator (talk) 18:25, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected indefinitely. The expired protection was pending changes, not semi. Pending changes should be less disruptive to good faith users in response to this sort of occasional, drive-by disruption stemming from internet memes. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:58, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

It was created by a now blocked UPE editor and the IPs have come back to remove the redirect and create the page after the user was blocked. If necessary, I can just go AfD. Let me know either way.--CNMall41 (talk) 17:34, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

List of search engines

Add OceanHero search engine in the list and also add it to the Social and environmental focus section. Infinity Ultron (talk) 08:01, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Declined. The selection criteria of the list, indicated in the source comments, is: "Entries in these lists should be "notable". They should already have a stand-alone Wikipedia article based on in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources (see also WP:GNG and WP:WTAF)." OceanHero does not appear to be a notable search engine, and there is not yet a standalone Wikipedia article about OceanHero. Also, please note that the article's corresponding talk page (Talk:List of search engines) is not protected, so you may submit future edit requests on that talk page. ​— Newslinger talk 10:40, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

2025 India–Pakistan border skirmishes

Reason: People from other countries and specially from Pakistan are making false edits and put neutrality of this page on crisis. I might not edit this page anymore but please protect this page as Extended Confirm Portection. It is going really out of hand and can not control the level of Vandalism.

2025 India–Pakistan diplomatic crisis

Reason: Highly controversial topic from countries with massive numbers of rather inflamed accounts. One even used LLM to generate POV content. Same as the border skirmishes article, need indefinite ECP. Juxlos (talk) 15:34, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
