    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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Talk:Gulf of Mexico

    Reason: Partisan/political stuff. Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 04:22, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Please enforce WP:CT/AP. IanDBeacon (talk) 04:52, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The talk page for Gulf of Mexico is supposed to allow auto confirmed users to edit the Gulf of Mexico article. To ECP the talk page kills virtually any activity for the article page. SimpleSubCubicGraph (talk) 05:24, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Nobody is proposing ECP here. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 11:42, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It looks like semi-protection is OK for now ... I'm not seeing a lot of reverting going on. Daniel Case (talk) 19:01, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Monster Jam episodes

    Reason: IP disruptively reverting/edit warring back to article rather than recent redirect of the article, despite the many problems brought up (by myself) regarding the article at Talk:List of Monster Jam episodes#Convert to redirect. IP has doing nothing to fix any of the issues brought up, whether any of the massive amount of unsourced content or downright incorrect information. Please let me know if this would preferred to be reported elsewhere, such as AIV, ANI, or AN3. Magitroopa (talk) 06:51, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: I have continued to see this: anonymous users continued to add false information to this article such as unconfirmed cast members and composers. The Media Expert (talk) 13:08, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    PeopleCert

    Create protection: Repeatedly recreated. GPL93 (talk) 13:29, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Jacques Audiard

    Temporary semi-protection: Violations of the biographies of living persons policy. Director of a movie nominated for 13 Academy awards, and the movie is also very controversial. jolielover♥talk 15:13, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2024–2025_Serbian_anti-corruption_protests

    Reason: Government corruption and misinformation. Changing the leaders of the protests falsely to "Ustase" and blaming the protests on Croatia. The correct leaders of these protests are Students. The current president party is paying people to change the wiki page along with national television programs to lie and divide the people. Focus of the protests is demanding justice - regardless of the political party / current party in power.

    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.

    @MC-123: Onus is generally on the person who wants the article to create it, not random editors on a noticeboard. If you think you have the sources to support an article, then see WP:WIZARD to get started. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:26, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I was going to create the article, but it seems that action is restricted to only administrators, template editors, and page movers, which is why I came here. MC-123 (talk) 17:20, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @MC-123: And which is why I pointed you at WP:WIZARD. Admins won't consider unprotecting a salted title without a good draft to put in its spot. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:11, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
