Current requests for increase in protection level
[edit]Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Reason: This article has been subject to repeated disruptive edits, information without sources, unreliable sources and POV push by IP users. Ancient seekr (talk) 13:39, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 20:46, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – The subject is within the scope of ARBPIA. JayCubby 14:45, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. •Cyberwolf•. talk? 14:47, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: This user who requested protection has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 22:48, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Racism from the USA, especially today, will cause an influx of inappropriate edits. I'm requesting it to be extended until 2028. Or more if needed Lukasmajukaspvpa (talk) 17:46, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- Declined Already permanently semi-protected and level seems fine. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 18:25, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent disruptive edits by a series of accounts created solely for this purpose. Lithopsian (talk) 20:54, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Unsourced edits from ip addresses. Needs protection. Mehedi Abedin 21:44, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Lani
Request for Partial Protection:
I would like to request partial protection for the article Matthew Lani. While there hasn’t been significant vandalism or disruptive edits so far, the article deals with a public figure and may attract disruptive edits or biased edits in the future. Furthermore, Matthew’s case is still an ongoing issue with a lot of public speculation, much of which remains unverified. Given the potential for these issues, I believe partial protection would help maintain the integrity of the article and ensure that edits remain factual and well-sourced.
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – ARBPIA. PlotinusEnjoyer (talk) 22:59, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Many recent edits by non-ec users to content related to IP conflict area. DMH223344 (talk) 23:25, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – ARBPIA. PlotinusEnjoyer (talk) 23:51, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism. 120.22.58.136 (talk) 00:08, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: @120.22.58.136: 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 00:19, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Lots of unexplained and disputed changes to the film's listed genres mainly by IP editors in the past several days. –WPA (talk) 00:20, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 00:34, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – ARBPIA. PlotinusEnjoyer (talk) 00:36, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

- Automated comment: This user who requested protection has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 01:19, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Requesting semi move and edit protection as I've seen multiple cases where new users will edit this page to create their article. One case even required an admin to do a histmerge (hence the request for move protection as well). ~ Rusty meow ~ 01:21, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]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: This protection is no longer necessary because this article has no IP edits for over a year ago, and this type of protection is stale. Plus, there has not been any vandalism in over couple years. 205.155.225.249 (talk) 19:01, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
No IP edits for over a year ago
is self-evident given it's semi-protected. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 20:21, 28 April 2025 (UTC)- Is one year enough to unprotect? 205.155.225.249 (talk) 20:22, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Article was protected since 2014. I think the article's protection is no longer need + the page views is low. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 00:40, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]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.
