Requests for page protection | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
This page is for requesting that a page, file or template be protected. Please read up on 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 only 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, the protection is listed in the page history and logs with a short description indicating why it was protected, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. Further discussion should take place on the Talk page of the article. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins do not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism. Note: Editors should not consider requesting page protection as a method for continuing an argument from elsewhere nor as a venue for starting a new discussion regarding article content. If a request contains excessive argument, appears to be intended to resolve a content dispute, includes personal attacks or uncivil comments, or has any other unrelated discussion, it will be removed from this page and no action will be taken.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. Lots of edits over the past few weeks from IPs adding OR/unsourced/straight vandalism. Some good edits from IPS, so maybe pending changes is warranted, but this has become a rather relatively-high-profile article and most recent IP edits have been bad. eviolite (talk) 18:06, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
Declined There are a lot of edits but very few would be affected by semi protection and the disruption does not seem excessive. If needed, ask again with examples of problems. Johnuniq (talk) 08:08, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

- Hoodoo Mountain (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: Lots of reverts on this page, especially from 5+ vandals, and the article is a featured article, and for today's featured article. Severestorm28 22:21, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Recent events (https://kotaku.com/final-fantasy-vii-porn-interrupts-government-meeting-1848378136) make the page a target for vandalism and other off-topic additions. LilShpeeThatCould (talk) 05:25, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – this IP editor talk page has been vandalized many times by different IP editors and have been rv by admins and some vandalised IP editors have been blocked. Protect this page from IP editors might be a good idea. Cassiopeia talk 07:53, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Several anonymous accounts keep adding unsourced additions to the article. It should be protected. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 07:54, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Nas Daily
Reason: This is the fourth time requesting unprotection. There is no reason for this page to be protected as ARBPIA does not apply since he is not a soldier in the military. He has written no books about the conflict, even no videos about it so absolutely no reason to protect the page especially ECP. The page should be unprotected ASAP (I think) Jishiboka1 (talk) 01:59, 20 January 2022 (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 02:02, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- The page was originally protected by @Ymblanter. I see you've made no effort to contact them about this. Any particular reason why? -FASTILY 04:04, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Jishiboka1: Your previous requests are at 13 January 2022 and 19 January 2022. You must stop asking for unprotection because such repetition wastes time. As I wrote last time, the article for an "Israeli-born Arab vlogger" is subject to WP:ARBPIA and it will not be unprotected. If you want to appeal that decision, you could ask at WP:ARCA. However, do not do that without very good reason. If you want independent opinions, ask at WP:Teahouse. Johnuniq (talk) 04:23, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
YÖS exam
Unprotection: The protection is no longer necessary because this article is a stub, and also, the self-promoting image (File:Ostad Darbandi YOS Exam.jpg) has been deleted in Commons for advertising or spam. I believe that there wil be no more advertising in YÖS exam article because the self-promoting image has been deleted. Vitaium (talk) 05:51, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- @EdJohnston: You protected this article on 11 December 2021 due to spam. You might want to express an opinion on what should happen now. Johnuniq (talk) 05:58, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- Your logic is flawed. The size of the article (when it was presumably a stub when the protection was instituted) has nothing to do with whether an artice should be unprotected--CreecregofLife (talk) 06:36, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

- If you want to update information, make an edit request. Also I doubt your biases would be held at bay to keep it from turning into an advertisement--CreecregofLife (talk) 06:34, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
