Indefinite semi-protection: Unconstructive edits and occasional vandalism from IP editors, likely to remain frequent until the trilogy concludes. Go D. Usopp (talk) 04:04, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Tq NepalFirst (talk). 16:57, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected indefinitely. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 18:53, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Blanking by several IPs and unconfirmed users. CycloneYoris talk! 09:38, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. This happened again, an anonymous user keeps bringing back the same fake company Red Rocket Entertainment and changing most of the table without any sources. We should also consider a warning to editors. This happened several times or more. XyloQuip289 (talk) 12:23, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Most if not all non-autoconfirmed edits are non-constructive or changing his middle name back to Jerome after he said that wasn't his middle name in the video that caused this disruption. Pending changes is not suitable here. Tenshi! (Talk page) 13:11, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism: – This has been going on for months Myexellentdays (talk) 13:17, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Zuck28 (talk) 13:33, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Extended confirmed protection: Continued edit warring and a talk page resolution that has devolved into personal insults and general bickering. WeaponizingArchitecture | yell at me 14:00, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason: POV-pushing IPs edit-warring to remove select ethnic background information from the article, including the removal of ten reliable sources [1] [2] [3].

By the way, the article has already been protected many times [4]. In fact, this IP has come right after the last 1 year-long protection expired. Maybe consider indefinite protection. Super Ψ Dro 14:02, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Extended period of vandalism by anonymous editor(s). livelikemusic (TALK!) 14:05, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: I don't want another user to edit this page, I just want me to. A not extended confirmed user could also vandalize this page. That's why. ~Rafael! (He, him) • talkguestbookprojects 14:10, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Immediate resume of same editing activity which led to previous protections. livelikemusic (TALK!) 14:22, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Entranced98 (talk) 14:24, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Longstanding persistent IP vandalism. Requesting permanent minimum autoconfirmed access for editing the article. EarthDude (wanna talk?) 14:25, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of ip vandalism Theonewithreason (talk) 15:58, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason: IPs overwriting redirect against consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blazing Fury (2nd nomination) 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:4F16:72DA:D143:359B (talk) 16:15, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Can we have this protected again please - the sock Joanvumilia and the endless "Martin Luther Nyanzi" hoaxes is getting better at making fake sources. I was going to protect but realized I'm now INVOLVED as I re-wrote as it was a world of fiction beyond Nyanzi. The addition of hoaxes has been going on for months. KylieTastic (talk) 16:24, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent spamming over last several weeks. --Seawolf35 T--C 16:40, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High Level of IP Vandalism NepalFirst (talk). 16:49, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Protect from Vandalism NepalFirst (talk). 16:50, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

I'm not seeing any Vandalism in the page history. Toast1454TC 18:25, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
There is no reason to protect the page for now. Toast1454TC 18:39, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Favonian (talk) 19:24, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of ip vandalism, the page should be extend-protect per general wiki policy on i/pl pages. רמרום (talk) 17:30, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason: An anonymous IP is repeatedly editing the Phase 2 opening date to read October 1 instead of October 16. Multiple references are provided giving October 16 as the official date, as announced by the Honolulu Department of Transportation Services. An inline comment was also added, in areas where this date is mentioned in the article, in attempt to stop the vandalism, to no success. Fpmfpm (talk) 18:12, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite extended protection: Arbitration Enforcement. WP:SA (Indian military history), article has been a battleground for sockpuppets recently. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 18:37, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Pending changes: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 19:07, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected indefinitely. Favonian (talk) 19:11, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Frost 20:08, 26 August 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.

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.
