Secretariat of National Defense[edit]

Reason: Persistent vandalism, IPs continue to add Sergio Pérez as part of a meme, unlikely to stop. Skjoldbro (talk) 14:34, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 15:51, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Joseph Herbert (neuroscientist)[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Content blanking by unregistered user. Same section has previously been blanked multiple times in the past, most recently in April. Adam Black talkcontributions 14:42, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 15:52, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Agia Sophia Stadium[edit]

Wikipedia:Responding to threats of harm[edit]

Reason: This page should be fully-protected. 66.99.128.137 (talk) 17:09, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. I don't see why this page needs to be fully protected when there has been no disruptive editing for years. Semi-protections is sufficient for now. The Night Watch (talk) 18:02, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Eurovision Song Contest 2025[edit]

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Unknown-Tree🌲? (talk) 17:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Vandalisms and often unverified sources. Pepek94 (talk) 18:42, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Stigmata[edit]

Pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Earlier protected by pending changes (expired 10 April 2024), since then Frank Iero was added 5 times by accounts (one new, one awoken after a long time) and three IPs. There is no reliable evidence tht Iero is a stigmata. The Banner talk 18:47, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Yasuke[edit]

Reason: High level of IP vandalism Anzasquiddles (talk) 18:56, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

+1 Reason: Edit wars currently going on over whether Yasuke was a Samurai. Repeated edits in a short time period have been made to both change the article to call him a Samurai (using sources previously dismissed from inclusion in the article), and to add unnecessary and unsourced clarification that he was not a Samurai. 130.43.139.154 (talk) 18:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 19:02, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

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.

Draft:Lifespan Integration[edit]

Reason: Full creation protection seems unjustified. The corresponding mainspace page is unprotected and no one has recreated it. I personally do not intend to create an article on this topic but in case an autoconfirmed editor does, it would be reasonable to drop the SALT level to semi to match mainspace. Protecting admin has been desysoped so I brought it here directly. Nickps (talk) 11:54, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

@Nickps: The SALT does seem justifiable, given three speedy deletions. I do agree with you that full-protection is unnecessary for it, however. Semi-protection would seem to me to be too low; maybe XCP? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:44, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Even that sounds wrong to me to be honest. Protecting the draft but not the mainspace article is a weird thing to do. It's essentially directing any spam to mainspace. Since there has been no such spam all this time, I'd argue that the protection has outlived its purpose. But, lowering the protection would still be a positive in any case so I won't get too hung up on the level. Do XCP if you think it's right. Nickps (talk) 16:15, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
It doesn't look like there's been any attempt to re-create the mainspace page after the AfD (which, I should note, post-dates the most recent draft deletion). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:33, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]

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.


Israel–Hamas war[edit]

Change "Since the start of the Israeli operation, more than 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed,[86] including over 15,000 children and 10,000 women.[87][88]" to "Since the start of the Israeli operation, nearly 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed,[86] including over 7,000 children and nearly 5,000 women.[87][88]." This is based on the data recently revised by the UN, accessible here: https://www.ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-reported-impact-day-215. ConDissenter (talk) 21:21, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

A130 road[edit]

Change "tidal flow(traffic)" to "tidal flow (traffic)", yes the only difference is a space in the piped link which is ordinarily a cosmetic change that should be avoided, but in this case is needed as part of the WP:X3 process as the unspaced redirect will be deleted, thank you. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:64D4:1CAD:2D37:C84B (talk) 18:08, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
