Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

[edit]
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. FMSky (talk) 01:53, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. This talk page is routinely used as a soapbox by users wishing to store or promote their academic articles. Some examples: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10, all from various IPs around the world. There has not been a constructive suggestion to the page since early 2021, since then it has been used exclusively as a soapbox hence why I think this page should be protected. I guess pending changes works too. jolielover♥talk 02:38, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Temporary semi-protection request; Persistent disruptive editing. The Department of Education still exists, yet it keeps receiving edits to change it to past tense.

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 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.

Reason: This page has been protected for *ten years*. It is the only engine page for major US manufacturers that is. It is not an *inherently contentious* page like many on religion, sexuality, ethnic strife, and such (which can remain persistently problematic). The page has had plenty of time to ride out a spate of probematic editing/unregistered editors. It needs the opportunity to be freely edited, and settle itself down. 2601:196:180:DC0:4842:76FD:4D84:35D5 (talk) 15:26, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

FYI Biblioworm. There's certainly a lot of disruption on car articles generally, but I'm not sure about a specific engine nowadays – I checked in the archives and the last time we had an engine-related request was in October (note that I only did a Ctrl+F check and that the Ford IP seems unrelated to this one). Sdrqaz (talk) 17:17, 7 February 2025 (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.


In the lede of this article second paragraph, it mentions "prompting Israeli forces to fight back and apply the Hannibal Directive against its own citizens." The mention of the Hannibal directive is gratuitous and disputed by plenty of sources. At worst, the directive, according to disputed sources, led to 14 deaths. Given its extreme minor significance in the attack by Hamas, it should be removed from the second paragraph. The next sentence also makes it seem like it was the Hannibal directive and not Hamas which killed the majority of Israelis. (Personal attack removed) Apndrew (talk) 20:34, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

@Apndrew: I would seriously reconsider using personal attacks when making any sort of WP:CT/A-I-related request. That's a good way to get hauled to WP:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement and have to answer pointed questions to the satisfaction of a tetchy administrator who has to deal with this shit yet again. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 07:26, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
Doesn't change the fact the the page has been vandalized to include a fringe and disputed theory in the second paragraph of the entry and now implies that it was Israel who was responsible for the deaths of 1,195 Israelis. Apndrew (talk) 14:48, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
