    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.

    Bade Baba Temple

    Reason: Dear Wikipedia Administrators, I am writing to request protection for the Wikipedia page [Kundalpur Jain Temple (Bade Baba)] due to persistent vandalism and misinformation being added by certain individuals. The temple is a highly significant religious site for followers of the Digambar sect of Jainism, yet the page has repeatedly been altered with incorrect information, likely motivated by sectarian bias.

    Nature of the Issue

    1.Misinformation on Managing Body: The temple is managed by Shri Digambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Kundalpur Public Trust, but vandals have changed this to Shri Shwetambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Kundalpur Public Trust, which is factually incorrect.

    2.Religious and Cultural Sensitivity: The temple holds immense importance for the Digambar Jain community. The repeated alterations appear to stem from hate or jealousy, which disrespects the faith and beliefs of millions.

    Evidence of Vandalism

    Request for Protection

    Given the sensitivity of the topic and the repeated vandalism, I kindly request:

    1. Semi-protection: Restrict edits to registered and confirmed users.

    2. Long-term protection: Given the likelihood of continued attempts at misinformation, I request protection for an extended period.

    This will help ensure that the article maintains its accuracy and neutrality, in line with Wikipedia’s guidelines. Protecting this page would not only prevent further disruption but also respect the sentiments of the Jain community, particularly the Digambar sect.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if further details or evidence are needed.

    Sincerely,

    Forgiving the format and length here, you do realize that you will be unable to edit the article if it gets semi-protected? Daniel Case (talk) 07:01, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 08:16, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Wheelbarrow

    Reason: IP editors keep vandalizing the page. There is a very persistent IP editor who keeps adding the name of a non-notable individual to it, and it persists despite blocking the offending IP address. Chemtamengineer (talk) 03:58, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. No misbehavior on the page in the past 48 hours. BusterD (talk) 12:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Per WP:RUSUKR Mr. Komori (talk) 07:07, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2025

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing - Requesting 90 days of semi protection, repeated entries (in particular IP entries) of Trump's inauguration despite consensus that the inauguration of world leaders is not notable enough FactsheetPete (talk) 07:11, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    World Health Organization

    Reason: High level of IP edits requiring reverting as people don't check whether US withdrawal is already mentioned in article (it is). Given media attention, this is unlikely to stop soon. AncientWalrus (talk) 07:50, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Since filing this request I discovered that executive order withdrawing US from WHO was added at least 4 times in different places in a span of 6 hours. I can't keep the page orderly alone due to 3RR. The edits are well intentioned by editors making them but still create issues requiring at least semi-protection, ideally extended protection. It's not just IPs but also new editors making these mistakes (not checking if order is already mentioned), hence my suggestion to do extended protection. AncientWalrus (talk) 08:26, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Bhanot

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Per WP:GSCASTE, persistent sockpuppetry by open proxies who are trying to redirect it to inappropriate targets. - Ratnahastin (talk) 08:10, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Chief Minister of Sindh

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Misuse of talk page for stuff unrelated to the actual article. M.C. (talk) 08:25, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 10:29, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Troy Wilson (Australian rules footballer)

    Reason: There is a user without a Wikipedia account consistently changing the age of this person from 1972 to 1962. This has been occurring since 2022. Hoggough (talk) 08:27, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2025 Prayag Kumbh Mela

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – A highly visited page about an ongoing event, attracting significant public interest. It has been subjected to frequent edits by random IP users, often introducing poor grammar and inappropriate language, which affects the page's quality and reliability. To ensure the information remains accurate and well-maintained, an 8-week semi-protection would be ideal during this period of heightened activity. - The9Man Talk 08:31, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. But also attracting IPs/new accounts which correct mistakes and improve the article. Page well watched, overall disruption not too heavy. Lectonar (talk) 11:56, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – see revision history. article is being terrorized by an IP making the same edits over and over again for years. FMSky (talk) 11:49, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Not enough disruption for semi-protection. Lectonar (talk) 11:54, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: The flags on this page have been changing back and forth since October. In December 2024, IP users (or user) started getting involved and continued to change them without reason. Catalyst GP real (talk) 12:04, 21 January 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.

    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.

    Joe Biden

    Remove: "Historians and political scientists rank Biden as above average in historical rankings of American presidents."

    Way too soon to suggest that in the main text of the article! He has barely left office, its going to be at least a few months before such a bold claim can be made. Is there really enough historians and political scientists saying this to justify this claim? BlunanNation (talk) 08:42, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
