Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

Shortcuts WP:RFPP WP:RFP WP:RPP 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. Skip to table of contents requests to raise protection lower protection requested edits (purge) Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level Request protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Different IPs making same serious but unsubstantiated accusation. Nick Levine ( talk) 12:35, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

• Singaporeans ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Repeated proxy evasion on very disparate IPs over the past couple of weeks. CMD ( talk) 15:02, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

• Cynthia Rothrock ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. - FlightTime ( open channel) 15:28, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Isabelle Belato ^🏳‍🌈 15:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

Considering a checkuser just confirmed repeated sockpuppetry, I would protect the page regardless. Jdcomix ( talk) 16:16, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Isabelle Belato ^🏳‍🌈 17:16, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

• Talk:Donald Trump ( | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs have been pretty giddy and persistent ever since Trumps no pronouns comment. CRBoyer 16:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

• Julie Lythcott-Haims ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: BLP policy violations – SPA may be editing in good faith, but is persistent in adding a level of detail and slant that I think is in violation of BLP policies. They have around 40 edits (all to this article) so ECP would be called for. Russ Woodroofe ( talk) 16:51, 1 August 2024 (UTC). Russ Woodroofe ( talk) 16:51, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

• Talk:Donald Trump/Response to claims of bias ( | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Informal informational page, not a talk space. Has already been used at least once as a talk space, and anyway any modifications to the page should be restricted to editors with at least some experience. Requesting permanent extended-confirmed. ― Mandruss  ☎ 17:10, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

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.

• Cebu ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
• Cebu City ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
• Lapu-Lapu City ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Highly abusive admin reverting content and adding back false information and mass protecting articles on municipalities in Cebu that they dont know anything about (Hiligaynon and Tagalog are NOT spoken in Cebu Province or any of its cities)

Another proxy evading numerous blocks. -- Malcolmxl5 ( talk) 11:05, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

N.B. This is the same person who has been thrashing the admin boards for the last couple of days. -- Malcolmxl5 ( talk) 12:40, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

• Automated comment: This user who requested protection has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.— ^{cyberbot I} _{Talk to my owner:Online} 11:12, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 11:59, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

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.

• Brianna Wu ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

In "Early life and education", the article says "In 2003 she enrolled at the University of Mississippi". The source for that paragraph as archived ( https://archive.ph/ek0sE) states that she "dropped out for good in 2001".

I suggest changing "In 2003 she enrolled..." to something like "She enrolled at the University of Mississippi, studying journalism and political science and writing for The Daily Mississippian, but left the school in 2001." Or of course, add a source for her enrolling in 2003. Elizabeth Internet ( talk) 06:56, 26 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Add "George and Junior" in the the programming section of Tom and Jerry, where it says, "including other MGM Cartoons such as Droopy, Barney Bear, and Screwball Squirrel". Mgmcartoonguy ( talk) 04:34, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply

• Wikipedia talk:Bureaucrats' noticeboard ( | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

There are two protection lock templates at the top of the page:

{{pp-vandalism|small=yes}} {{pp|small=yes}}

Please remove one of them. Thanks. 88.97.195.160 ( talk) 15:08, 1 August 2024 (UTC) reply
