Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism. Sushidude21! (talk) 08:46, 28 August 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 08:52, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason: A transphobic attack piece was published yesterday in the conservative publication The Critic, alongside other intense media attention due to Nicoresti recently winning the Edinburgh Comedy Awards main prize. Only one incidence of vandalism so far, but given that the WP:BLP threshold is lower and pageviews are relatively high for a brand-new BLP article, I think temporary pending-changes protection is worth considering. Pineapple Storage (talk) 09:29, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – IPs frequently adding contentious material, feel free to ECP indefinitely if this is a WP:ARBPIA issue. Entranced98 (talk) 09:50, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason: repeated edit warring Melchior2006 (talk) 13:09, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi protection: requesting indefinite semi protection as multiple repeated attempts by IP user with IP hopping attempting to insert unrelated POV pushing opinions to article with multiple users reverting it. Disruption dated since at least 2024. Grimforge (talk) 13:15, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – This redirect page should be increase its protection into indefinitely extended-confirmed as it is clear that anonymous and IP users will continue to vandalize the redirect pages in ways that are disruptive with very high level. 2402:8780:1022:61D:1EE:906F:D285:F3 (talk) 13:17, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:PIA. Disruption related to use of the term Palestine/Israel. Mellk (talk) 14:10, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason: IPs adding the gurt meme, it was protected in may but it is still getting vandalised 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩 Easternsahara 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩 14:23, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. These edits are few and far between now, twice since last protection ended in May. Lectonar (talk) 14:33, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:ARBPIA. Entranced98 (talk) 14:55, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in 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
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.
