    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.

    National Movement (Poland)

    Reason: Mass removal of cited content both from users and unregistered IPs. Helper201 (talk) 17:55, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. All recent IPs, either locally or globally. Daniel Case (talk) 22:09, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Daniel Case the user Bse14447 who has removed cited content in at least five separate edits from this page has not been blocked. Helper201 (talk) 22:25, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    They haven't edited the page in five days. Maybe, just maybe, they've taken the hint. Daniel Case (talk) 22:28, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Haz Al-Din

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Page subject to WP:CT/AP recreated against consensus established at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Haz al-Din. Am also asking if redirecting to related page (like with American Communist Party (Haz Al-Din)) or draftifying (like with repeated recreations of pages on associated party (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/American Communist Party, Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:American Communist Party, Draft:American Communist Party(2024), Draft:American Communist Party (2024), Draft:American Communist Party)) are appropriate. Thank you for your time and consideration. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 18:28, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Honestly, take it up at AE. Or at least start a second AfD as the article now uses a much more diverse range of sources than the deleted article (with a different spelling) did. Otherwise the issues raised are really well beyond the scope of this noticeboard. Daniel Case (talk) 22:17, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh

    Reason: This is a contentious page, as it pertains to a member of the band Kneecap (also a contentious page and semi-protected). There are some edits from an unknown IP trying to introduce elements or change wordings into unclaimed statements. I think that for the same reasons why Kneecap is semi-protected, this one should too, at least for a while. Afonso Dimas Martins (talk) 18:37, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 22:20, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group I

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Recent edits violate WP:ARBPIA3#500/30. Jalen Barks (Woof) 19:35, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I support that. The last undid edit is just straight up xenophobic vandalism 79.191.225.126 (talk) 19:58, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Continued since prior protection lapsed. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 19:49, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Ofer Cassif

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Article covered under WP:ARBPIA. Longhornsg (talk) 20:21, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    George Balanchine

    Reason: There's persistent vandalism from Russia-based IP addresses that insist on Russifying this artist, even though he never described himself as Russian. Can something be done about this? It's almost as if this is done deliberately. Russia has a long history of stealing heritage from Georgians, Ukrainians, Finnish people and others it has sought to Russify for centuries. The artist has described himself as Georgian and there's a reliable article from the New York Times to back it up, but it keeps being changed. 85.134.33.196 (talk) 21:13, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    This looks like content dispute to me, ongoing for many years. The stable version seems to describe him as Russian-American. Ymblanter (talk) 21:16, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the issue is that many of these Russian IP edits are not constructive in the sense that they do not even attempt to justify what is being done and merely replace Georgian with Russian, even when the underlying New York Times source states otherwise. Also, the New York Times source in which the artist himself asserts that he is Georgian was introduced relatively recently. In view of this new information, there's even less justification to keep reverting to the former Russian designation, especially when IPs pushing for this can't even be bothered to say anything.
    The artist in question said what he said. If he wanted to call himself Russian, he could have done that but he didn't. Erasing this without so much as leaving a comment is vandalism, which is why protection was requested.--85.134.33.196 (talk) 22:24, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Stuart Skinner

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Recent vandalism from multiple IP addresses. Referentis (talk) 22:17, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:NYCS const

    Indefinitely Extended Confirmed Protection: Persistent vandalism by this username Cubbe8 adding unsources template twice this page protection needs to be increased. 199.170.132.3 (talk) 22:24, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Voting age

    Reason: Unregistered users are changing cited content without going to the talk page as requested. Has come from two IPs but appears to be the same person constantly edit warring by reverting. Helper201 (talk) 22:42, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm Real

    Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism-continue even after a warning on their talk page. PawPatroler (talk) 22:57, 29 May 2025 (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 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.

    2010 FIFA World Cup

    Reason: It has been 11 years since this page was semi protected. The tournament itself held 15 years ago, so I don't think the page will be very popular or vandalized. Also, articles about the next two editions—2014 FIFA World Cup & 2018 FIFA World Cup—are not protected. Therefore, I suggest we cn try to remove the protection and see what happened. The Seal F1 (talk) 14:03, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Seems reasonable to me. Could you try discussion with the protecting admin first? If they decline or take more than a few days to respond, your welcome to ask me to review or re-request here. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:26, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi. The administrator who protected that page has made only a few edits over the past month — all of them related to "cleaning up" their talk page, so I'm not sure if this is a good idea. That's why Im asking here.The Seal F1 (talk) 15:52, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It's not uncommon for admins to be inactive for a month but still respondent to pings. I figured we should attempt a ping. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:58, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok. I'll try. The Seal F1 (talk) 16:03, 29 May 2025 (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.
