Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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.
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here | ||

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Multiple IPs repeatedly [re-]adding poorly sourced endorsements of candidates. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:07, 24 March 2025 (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 15:21, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent disruptive vandalism and edit warring from some IP's. Possible sockpuppetry and LTA involved; many of them write about "Phineas and Ferb Pancake House", which doesn't exist... OpalYosutebito (talk) 16:32, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
User(s) blocked.: 82.31.61.165 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and the account they obviously created, WilliamHR.pickensIII (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). I don't think this needs to be protected at this time. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:39, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 16:33, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:41, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Fairly consistent amount of IP vandalism with untrue or unsourced information, seemingly from 7-OH users Panisetcircenses (talk) 17:11, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The IP editors, with only a couple of exceptions, seem to be correcting poor information that was added earlier by a single-purpose account. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:07, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism came back. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 19:02, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. guninvalid (talk) 19:43, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- (non-admin comment) i wouldn't call it vandalism per se, but it is an unsourced addition. though i do suspect that there might be socking at bay, so i think someone should have a look consarn (prison phone) (crime record) 20:44, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in 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.
Unprotection: 14 years of protection with little vandalism or disruption. Thepharoah17 (talk) 23:34, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Black Kite: pinging protecting admin. Daniel Case (talk) 02:30, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Page has been protected for nearly 14 years, with very few disruptive edits/vandalism, so I think we could try pending-changes for some time. Also protecting admin is no longer an admin Filmssssssssssss (talk) 01:08, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason: The protection is no longer needed because the article doesn't have any disruptions Aravind Sivaprasad (talk) 18:31, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Joseph Kallarangatt is not protected. The absence of disruption is likely due to protection. Favonian (talk) 18:43, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits 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.
There are citations needed for the section "For the fiscal year 2021, Amazon reported earnings of US$33.36 billion, with an annual revenue of US$469.82 billion, an increase of 21.7% over the previous fiscal cycle. Since 2007 sales increased from 14.835 billion to 469.822 billion, due to continued business expansion.[citation needed]"
I have found three references from bloggingwizard, investing.com and wallstreetnumbers.com that back those claims but I don't have permissions to add them.
For some reason I can't add full URLs here because I get a "spamblacklist" but happy to share. Joanfihu (talk) 15:43, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Investing.com is locally blacklisted. The other two don't seem to be on the local or global blacklists. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:14, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
