    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.

    When Life Gives You Tangerines

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Edit warring again, previously involving another user, now with IP, the same involved editor, looks to be exhibiting ownership issues and that other is always wrong, they're always right. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 10:55, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kiran Rathod

    Reason: Kiran Rathod page vandalism

    The article Kiran Rathod has recently been subject to repeated malicious edits, falsely labeling her as an adult actress without reliable sources. Some of the content given in the page is also false and I have the consent of the person in subject to raise this issue of maligning, misinformation and labelling her.This violates Wikipedia's BLP (Biographies of Living Persons) policy.

    I request semi-protection to prevent further vandalism and defamation. See the edit history for examples.

    Thank you. Bharath75 (talk) 05:13, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. — Czello (music) 09:40, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Abu Layla

    Reason: This article is still subject to active vandalism. Despite previous reverts and warnings, disruptive edits continue to appear, including false information, inappropriate content, and/or deliberate distortions of the subject’s identity. These edits are often made by unregistered or newly created accounts, making it difficult to maintain accuracy through normal editorial oversight. 159.146.72.141 (talk) 09:56, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Daniel A. McGowan

    Reason: Unprotection: This article has been semi-protected since 2007. I doubt this very low-profile article will be the target of a lot of disruption after nearly 18 years have past, having seen only 9 edits from 2020 to 2025 and a whopping 941 views in the past year (see here). The protecting administrator hasn't been active since 2012. This also doesn't fall under WP:CT/A-I, despite the context subject. BriDash9000 (talk) 17:20, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Simone Gold

    Unprotection: Article was protected in 2021 for vandalism. I have found no evidence that this vandal is still active, and the article seems unlikely to become a vandalism magnet again over four years later it was also Wikipedia:General sanctions/COVID-19 I think is time to unprotect this article. 47.21.129.66 (talk) 01:09, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
