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

    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.

    Invictus Games

    Reason: Request temporary semi-protection. For the past few weeks, and after any announcement with this Foundation, vandalism and/sockpuppetry occurs on these and related pages. The editing with unreliable or inaccurate sources make it difficult to read and lead to poor editing of the page Cibrian209 (talk) 15:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: I've reviewed the edit history of the article, and there's a lot of suspicious editing from new accounts. ECP may be necessary, but I'm on the fence, so I'll leave the decision to another administrator. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:59, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Middle Belt

    Reason: Unregistered and new editors editing page without a proper understanding of the subject matter. Kambai Akau (talk) 20:58, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:15, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Doug Davis (businessman)

    Reason: Repeat of of vandalism an antisemitic bent KnittingQueenKY (talk) 21:02, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I've warned the editor. If they continue, please report them to WP:ANI. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Southern Kaduna

    Reason: Unseasoned editors with poor knowledge of the area attempting to vandalism page. Kambai Akau (talk) 21:04, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of United States presidential assassination attempts and plots

    Reason: Breaking news on the topic will likely lead to many edits with conflicting information 50.35.75.176 (talk) 22:30, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:39, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Already protected by administrator Elli. It looks like the level of disruption increased. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Security incidents involving Donald Trump

    Reason: Donald Trump attacked a rally. Requesting ECP as part of American politics sanctions. Ovioas,wo (talk) 22:53, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not done. The article is already semi-protected and that seems to be sufficient right now. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:36, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 assassination attempt of Donald Trump

    Reason: High vandalism. High political. Post-1992 ArbCom protection needed. Page already admin-move protected, but somehow was not even EC protected. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 22:55, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Why is it only semi protected please make it extended confirmed protected 24.115.255.37 (talk) 22:57, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not done. Article is protected at the current location. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Donald Trump

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Alleged assassination attempt. We may need some time to sort through this, and then will need to return it to ECP. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:56, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Protecting it would be a bit premature at this point. The article is already ECP. Let's try issuing some warnings if needed. We're dealing with EC editors. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:59, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of United States presidential assassination attempts and plots

    Reason: Already seeing higher levels of IP vandalism at this page. – TCMemoire 23:04, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Rock Machine

    Reason:: Conflict of interest editing. This editor who only edits the Rock Machine article admits to being a Rock Machine member here [1] and shows all the signs of treating Wikipedia like a battleground. --A.S. Brown (talk) 23:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 shooting at a Donald Trump rally

    Reason: Requesting extended confirmed protection to counter vandalism. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 23:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Duplicate 24.115.255.37 (talk) 23:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that there has been a bunch of vandalism on the article, and we don't tend to block preventatively. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 23:21, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I declined to increase the protection level earlier, but the article started getting more problematic edits from autoconfirmed editors such as [2] and [3] so it seemed appropriate to ECP it under WP:CT/AP. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:29, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Those edits aren't exactly vandalism. And I do think that six months is quite long all things considered, especially if the only basis for doing so are the sorts of edits that you've cited (which are not optimal, but appear to be good faith). — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:51, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Extended confirmed protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Logged as enforcement for WP:CT/AP. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:24, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:2024 shooting at a Donald Trump rally

    Temporary semi-protection: A bit of an IAR situation, but could be good until the dust settles, per an IP on the page. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 23:47, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected by administrator Fuzheado. ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 23:49, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Already protected by administrator Fuzheado. @Fuzheado: Could you please shorten the edit protection duration from indefinite to something shorter, like a week or a month, as per WP:PREEMPTIVE? Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll match the 6 months of the ECP on the article though folks may want to lift it sooner. - Fuzheado | Talk 00:07, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Respectfully, the only way for any non-autoconfirmed user to possibly participate on the page, including in the form of move requests, is to allow them to make edits to the page. I think that a six-month ECP on the article is too long, and also that a six month talk page semiprotection is not proportional to the disruption that has occurred. This is particularly concerning, given that the protecting administrator is is an active participant on the substance of discussions on that talk page; I don't think that we should be making protections of pages where we are actively involved. I would urge Fuzheado to reduce the length of the semi-protection to no more than one week. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:44, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Red-tailed hawk: I agree about the duration of the talk page protection. Regarding the article protection, which I made as an uninvolved administrator, I would have used a shorter duration if it seemed remotely viable. Also, six months is a common duration for WP:CT/AP enforcement. Reviewing the 2024 log, there have only been three protections (not counting full protection) shorter than six months and they were all three months long. Regards.

    Battle of Toretsk

    Indefinite Extended confirmed protection: WP:RUSUKR sanction enforcement; obviously falls under the sanctions. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 01:36, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Chaubisi Rajya

    Reason: ongoing vandalism 103.29.114.44 (talk) 02:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. You might consider registering a personal account so you can watchlist the article. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:24, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Shortcuts

    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.

    Queen Mary 2

    Reason: Semi-protection no longer needed as Wikipedia:General sanctions/COVID-19 editing restrictions lifted. 49.150.14.10 (talk) 06:01, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @El C: as protecting admin. Lectonar (talk) 06:48, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It should be noted that any sanctions in place at the time WP:ARBCOVID was passed were automatically converted into discretionary sanctions. That doesn't invalidate this request, however; "legacy" sanctions, to my knowledge, weren't grandfathered in when DS became CTOPs and this falls well outside the one-year enforcement privilege. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:31, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Love jihad conspiracy theory

    Reason: Much of the information is false and conveys hatred against Hindus in India Jacieann (talk) 18:43, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined. This is my protection (log), as it happens, under Love Jihad, which is now a redirect. Or at least the WP:ECP upgrade was mine, the indef semi was Oshwah. Anyway, protected and logged as WP:ARBIPA, I find this request falls short and is too vague. You may use the edit request feature though, Jacieann. Thank you. El_C 01:05, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
    Shortcut

    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.

    At Talk:2024 shooting at a Donald Trump rally#Requested move 13 July 2024, please add the following opinion

    *Oppose it is WP:TOOSOON to determine if it was an attempted assassination or not. We should absolutely not attempt to gun on this and frankly, the article was created too early as it is. Downerr2937 (talk) 00:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)}}[reply]
