Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wikipedia:RFP)
    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

    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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

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

    Maratha Confederacy

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeatedly the User:Mohammad Umar Ali edit this page. Rahio1234 11:38, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I would request anyone who is seeing the msg that this user Rahio is harassing me and not letting me add my WP:RS sourced information in the article just because it doesn't suit his POV. I already had a long discussion on the disputed topic in Maratha Confederacy talk page and quoted the information from WP:RS sources still he is vandalizing the info and reverting my edits. Also this user has been previously blocked for adding unsourced information (WP:OR) and edit disputes. Plz help me and see to it. Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 11:47, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Please see WP:RS if necessary Rahio1234 11:58, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    What do you think is a reliable source? You seem to cite WP:RS every time you disagree with someone's edits, despite most of the time the edits being fine. I recently reverted your reverts on Ministry of Interior (Iraq) because an IP added good and cited content which you reverted by just saying, "see WP:RS". I don't think Mohammad Umar Ali is in the right either here, as he even has an ongoing and seemingly truthful sockpuppet investigation against him, but you can't always cite WP:RS anytime an IP edits a page or someone adds content you don't like.

    1st source The Marathas New Cambridge history of India Vol2 Part 4 pg 138 mentions Maratha brief occupation of Punjab see the quote: After yet another Abdali invasion, the Marathas, under Nana Saheb’s brother, Ragunath Rao, and Malhar Rao Holkar, returned from Malwa and the Deccan in the campaigning season of 1757-58. A Maratha invasion of the Punjab followed, which coincided with the much more significant Sikh rebellion. The Maratha Punjab adventure was brief; the Ragunath Rao expedition left little administration behind, and the Sikhs successfully resisted any attempt to set up long-term Maratha authority. This clearly says Marathas briefly occupied Punjab and the exact limits can be inferred from my second source JL Mehta Advance study in History of India pg 234-237
    My 2nd WP:RS source JL Mehta's Advance Study in Indian History pg 237 clearly says quoting; Thus nature did provide a golden opportunity to the Marathas to establish their sway over whole of Punjab and northwest India, upto Attock and Khyber pass, although the spell of their rule proved very shortlived. This clearly indicates Maratha Empire/Confederacy ruled till Khyber Pass.
    <meta />
    3rd WP:RS source Pletcher, Kenneth (2010). The History of India pg 198 quoting; Thus in 1757 Ahmad Shah's son Timur, appointed governor of Punjab, was forced to retreat from Lahore to Peshawar under the force of attacks from Sikhs and Marathas.
    4th WP:RS Source;The state at war in South Asia page 55; quoting: The Marathas attacked soon after and, with some help from the Sikhs, managed to capture Attock, Peshawar, and Multan between April and May 1758. SEE the word "CAPTURED"
    Additional: The Marathas New Cambridge History of India Vol2 Part 4 states This is for Areal limit of the Empire/Confederacy (same source); Quoting: First, we shall look at the expanding areas controlled by the Marathas, and there were many. Maratha leaders pushed into Rajasthan, the area around Delhi, and on into the Punjab. They attacked Bundelkund and the borders of Uttar Pradesh. Further east, the Marathas attacked Orissa and the borders of Bengal and Bihar.
    And Same book pg 138 states; quoting; This is the source for protectors of Delhi throne pg 138 here is the quotation: For the Marathas, probably the two most significant events of the whole chaotic period in Delhi were a treaty in 1752, which made them protector of the Mughal throne (and gave them the right to collect chauth in the Punjab), and the civil war of 1753, by which the Maratha nominee ended up on the Mughal throne. Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 12:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed. Multiple users are persistently disruptive the article, likely due to the new move talk consensus. PadFoot2008 12:19, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Got the WP:RS Sources Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 12:31, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Maybe you need to do something to bring in more editors. Daniel Case (talk) 22:26, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Pink Friday 2 World Tour

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing. Binksternet (talk) 15:45, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 216.93.130.160 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for 60 hours, following AIV report. Daniel Case (talk) 22:36, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Morgan Spurlock

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Mr. Spurlock had just passed away and as a result there will be an increase in activity to this page. There has already been vandalistic edits made regarding the cause of his death, related to what he is known for (i.e. his movie Super Size Me and edits saying he died from obesity). --ZLMedia 17:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 22:44, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    AFC Champions League two

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism. MMMM97 (talk) 20:02, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Question: That's a recently created redirect. Which article did you want protection at? Daniel Case (talk) 22:55, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Ymblanter (talk) 20:50, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

    Reason: Temporary semi-protection: I am requesting protection for the "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6" Wikipedia page due to ongoing issues that are severely affecting its quality and reliability. These issues include:

    -Edit Wars: The page has been the subject of frequent and disruptive edit wars. Users are continuously reverting each other's changes, which has resulted in instability and an inconsistent presentation of information.

    -Spread of Misinformation: Many edits include inaccurate information, rumors, and unverified claims about the game. This misinformation misleads readers and undermines the credibility of the page.

    -Vandalism: There have been multiple instances of vandalism where users deliberately add false or nonsensical information. This further degrades the quality of the page and the experience for those seeking legitimate information.

    Protecting this page will help ensure that it remains a reliable source of information and prevent further disruption caused by these issues. Thank you for considering this request.

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I'm not really seeing the kind of disruption that merits protection. Daniel Case (talk) 23:03, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Lynja

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Little to no useful edits by non-confirmed users. DatGuyTalkContribs 22:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will also log at CTOPS since the six-months under which BDP runs hasn't expired yet. Daniel Case (talk) 23:09, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Avi Yemini

    Reason: Disruptive editing by IPs Isi96 (talk) 22:49, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:06, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Mr. Robot

    Reason: Persistent disruptive editing by IP editor within similar IPv4 range. Ranges, diff 1, diff 2, diff 3, diff 4, etc. Look though revision history. --WikiLinuz (talk) 23:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Kabosu (dog)

    Reason: Vandalism (e.g. users Iamnotblocked123 and InedibleHulk) Charles Dong (talk) 23:42, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Also, Kabosu is the dog behind the doge meme. So the vandalism from malicious users is extremely probable due to the popularity of doge meme. Charles Dong (talk) 23:47, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    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.

    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

    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.


    2014 Isla Vista killings

    I would like to request that someone give this article a serious look through. There are numerous grammatical errors, as if someone who is not a native English speaker wrote it. Errors are primarily subject/verb agreement. 133.130.185.232 (talk) 01:29, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    This isn't really an edit request. Daniel Case (talk) 23:15, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
