Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

Request addition of protection to a page, or increasing the current protection level
Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Trey Hendrickson

Reason: disruptive editing. Player is reported to be signing with the Ravens but the deal has not been finalized. Despite having a Sports transaction template explaining why we don't change his team yet, people keep changing it, leading to an edit war. WikiGiancarloC2 (talk) 16:11, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Not done This now appears to have been confirmed. The Bushranger One ping only 02:43, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

2026 Florida gubernatorial election

Reason: Edit warring from a user that has a likely COI with one of the candidates running. Contentious topic. aesurias (ping me in your reply, or I won't see it) (talk) 23:09, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. The Bushranger One ping only 00:14, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
I disagree @The Bushranger. I did take it to the talk page and basically did exactly what they wanted (included borderline-promo content for a candidate they very clearly have a COI with), and they then chose to start reverting another change, which is clearly not a content dispute as their changes are sitewide consensus regarding the placement of endorsements for an independent candidate. Despite me providing them myriad examples of this, they reverted again. They (as well as myself, I will admit, because I don't like when things are incorrectly placed) have broken 3RR multiple times over on an article designated a contentious topic. aesurias (ping me in your reply, or I won't see it) (talk) 04:45, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
Then you can both sit out a 24-hour block for edit-warring; I don't like when things are incorrectly placed is not an exception to 3RR. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:36, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Zoh Amba

Reason: Hello this is me, Zoh Amba. Someone keeps writing my legal name and it is entirely invasion of privacy. I keep editing it and they keep putting it back and false information about my music. I would be so grateful if my page could be protected please. Sunmoon32890 (talk) 04:46, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Not done Protection is not necessary at this time; note that normal protection would only keep you from editing the article. I have removed your legal name from the article per your request. Otherwise, this is a content dispute, regarding cited content; please start a discussion at Talk:Zoh Amba if you believe there are other issues with the article. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:30, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
Incidentally, as I was looking at this too, the sources don't even seem to mention the birth name. @Sunmoon32890: Be sure to read up on Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Relatively_unknown_subjects and Wikipedia:FAQ/Article subjects, as there may be additional things we can do do to help if you feel they may be needed, possibly including outright deletion of the article. --slakr\ talk / 05:39, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Reason: If you go to the History of the Talk Page, you will find, many people without any account come and say: Mujhe R&AW agent banna hain (I want to be an agent of R&AW), For which the editors have to remove those sections hundreds of time and it is a nuisance.

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level

Before posting a request for unprotection, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.

To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.

DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...

  • ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
    • If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
    • If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
  • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
  • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
  • ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.

You may request a protection reduction below if...

  • ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
  • ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
  • ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
  • ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.

If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.

There are lint errors on this page that should be fixed by bots. I have asked the protecting admin here, though they do not seem to be around currently. Tenshi! (Talk page) 19:35, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

Request a specific edit be made to a protected page
Please add an edit request to the talk page of the protected page before adding an edit request here

Requests for specific edits should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from adding a request there.

Otherwise, this is the correct place to use in order to add an edit request if you are unable to add one to the article's talk page. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to properly add a request.

2026 Minab school airstrike

To the "United States military investigation" section add "On 11 March, the New York Times reported that the preliminary findings of the investigation determined that the US was responsible for the strike. The inquiry suggested that the school was likely targeted due to outdated coordinates provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Isaac Herzog erroneously appears in the Commanders and Leaders section of the infobox. The President of Israel is a mostly ceremonial role. The only real power he has is pardoning criminals.

Autopatrolled

User:Umais Bin Sajjad

I have created over 150 mainspace articles (primarily in the area of Film and TV). While some of my earlier creations were deleted, the majority of my recent articles remain live, and I have refined my sourcing and notability assessment standards over time. I am familiar with WP:N, WP:BLP, WP:V and WP:RS and I ensure that all new articles meet notability and sourcing standards prior to creation. As I continue to create new articles...I believe autopatrolled would help reduce workload for NPP, as my pages generally require minimal follow-up. Umais Bin Sajjad (talk) 12:03, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

User:LeviathanShinobi

i would like to request Autopatrolled rights, as I have been consistently making constructive edits that are focused on improving article reliability and sourcing. Much of my work involves adding citations from academic books and appropriate sources to support existing content, expanding articles that lack references, and replacing weak sources with higher-quality ones.

Granting Autopatrolled would reduce reviewers' workload by automatically marking my edits as patrolled, allowing me to continue focusing on improving sourcing and article quality across history, politics, and geography-related pages. LeviathanShinobi (talk) 06:00, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

 Not done @LeviathanShinobi: You clearly didn't check what AP is for before dumping this AI-generated trash here. Please don't waste our time. voorts (talk/contributions) 12:14, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

@LeviathanShinobi; AP is only given to experienced editors that can be trusted to consistently create high quality articles - they are free of notability, copyright, and verifiability issues. It has no beneficial right to your editing and is solely used to reduce the workload on the New Page Patrol volunteers that check all new articles for major issues.

Losipov, have you tried the "Shortdesc helper" gadget, available at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets? It has features that may make it better than AWB for your purposes.

Recent changes have been performed to the infobox template for college basketball teams, and I have added new parameters which, following MOS, uses snake case. Older and existing parameters are in violation of this, and so I am seeking to use AWB to make bulk fixes to every page that uses this template in adding underscoring.

Could you explain your thought process behind marking Missa Hebié reviewed? Sohom (talk) 04:54, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
Hi Sohom_Datta, I can't see the article anymore, so going off memory here. I recall that the sources looked ok at first glance - and that there was a French article on him, but then the sources didn't pan-out upon closer inspection (and I think user was a sock trying to gain experience). If there's a way for me to view the deleted page, I could better explain my thinking. WidgetKid Converse 05:28, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
I've temporarily undeleted the history and article at User:Sohom_Datta/Missa_Hebié if that helps. Sohom (talk) 09:10, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
Thanks, Sohom_Datta. Here's my read on the sources for that article:
  • Faso-Actu: Coverage of Hebié's death and accomplishments, including positions with national film organization and *national television.
  • Infos Culture du Faso: Coverage of Hebié's death and accomplishments, including positions with national film organization and national television.
  • LeFaso: Coverage of Hebié's passing, including interviews with other film directors about his importance.
  • Africultures: Held Deputy Director of Programming for Burkina Faso's National Television.
  • RFI: Coverage of Hebié's latest film, but also prior works.
  • LeFaso: In-depth review of Hebié's work and considers whether he's a visionary.
  • France 24: Film of Hebié's reported as creating a buzz at FESPACO.
That all seemed to add up to notability to me. In hindsight, I should have looked at Muhskk's history. Though I get why this was removed (user was a sock), but I still think the subject may be notable enough to warrant an article. WidgetKid Converse 15:13, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Sohom_Datta & Rosguill, any guidance here? WidgetKid Converse 05:30, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
I'm leaning  Not done at the moment. Your AFD record sees a lot of participation amongst the Indian education/colleges topic area that has typically seen promotional activity and your AFD rationales there are often very short and don't contain a lot of context. Wrt to the Miss Hebie draft, I can understand that you overlooked the sock-like tendency of the creator. However, your assessment of the sources raises more concerns than it addresses. The fact that you consider LeFaso: In-depth review of Hebié's work and considers whether he's a visionary. and France 24: Film of Hebié's reported as creating a buzz at FESPACO. to contribute to the pages notability rubs me the wrong way since both of them feel like the textbook cases of a WP:MILL press release and non-substantial coverage respectively, which would typically have been discounted at AFD. Sohom (talk) 06:49, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
Thanks Sohom_Datta. Would you please elaborate on how my participation on Indian education/colleges relates? One of the AfD categories I've followed is technology and there's been a lot in that vein. Is my brevity the main concern? Is there an expectation that more input is needed for a vote when the nomination has solid analysis?

Regarding the Missa Hebié article, I didn't mean to imply that all the sources were WP:THREE worthy, just that taken altogether, they add up to notability.

As I have mentioned previously, I would contend that 6 and 7 are just WP:MILL coverage of press releases for the film being released and do not qualify towards indicating notability. Regarding your participation at AFD, yes, brevity is not a desirable trait to a degree. Typically, administrators will look for votes that are not "per nom", with the gold standard being ones that engage with the discussion around sources and policy. A lot of AFDs with "per nom" votes is not a good sign towards understanding the underlying policies. For what it's worth, the impetus of my initial question was purely a sock-related one, however your explanation of sourcing has made me slide towards "not ready" when coupled with the rest of your activity. Sohom (talk) 03:26, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
@Sohom Datta, @Rosguill, and @HJ Mitchell, I appreciate being given the chance to review new articles. It sounds like I'm not quite there. What advice would you have for me to do next if I want to get trial access again? Continue with AfDs? Thoughts on timeline for when I might re-apply? Thank you!

Requesting a trial run only unless you think I clearly meet the criteria. I want to see if this is something I enjoy, especially because there is such a large backlog on it. I often vote on AfDs which has a good track record, although my nominations often haven't done so well. I also occasionally assess articles. FantasticWikiUser(Ts and Cs) 15:39, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

User:Gjb0zWxOb

I have done over 550 AfDs with a match rate of roughly 93% and I wanted to do my part to help alleviating the backlog which is "growing very rapidly." It has been almost a year since I began participating in AfDs and applying policies such as WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV and the various more specific policies that are relevant for more specific pages (WP:SPORTSCRIT, WP:NSCHOOL, etc.). I believe it is best to save everyone's time and ensure that articles that do not meet these guidelines do not make it through the review process just to be AfD'd immediately after. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to helping out. Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 14:06, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

I made an article the other day and saw it hadn't yet been reviewed. When I looked into the review process to find out why, I realised that there was a big backlog and I could probably help out. So here I am.

I've been a user for a long time and have contributed to AfD (though somewhat sporadically) and written quite a few new articles of decent quality. I contribute a lot at the reliable source noticeboard and have a very strong grasp of sourcing and WP:GNG.

My one weakness that I am aware of is that I've never created a draft, so I would probably need help with that. There will likely be some other technical questions I'm not yet aware of, but I pick stuff up quickly. Boynamedsue (talk) 06:29, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

I spend a lot of time at WP:CR. This means that I occasionally have to carry out round-robin moves when closing RMs but instead must turn to WP:RM/TR. A fellow CR regular asked me to consider applying for this permission after seeing my various closes.

Here are the three round-robin moves I've been unable to effectuate myself:

Pending changes reviewer

User:Crawsome Crustacean

I tend to edit a range of very small articles, where regular checks and other members of Wikipedia don’t touch for a considerable length of time. (months or years can go by from the last edit) Me being allowed to review changes for edits to articles can help to stop wrong information being present on the smaller pages.

Thank you for your time! Crawsome Crustacean (talk) 09:12, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Automated comment This user has 47 edits in the mainspace. MusikBot talk 09:20, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) Crawsome Crustacean, Pending changes reviewers use Special:PendingChanges to review changes for pages with the pending changes protection. This system allows anonymous users and accounts without the confirmed status to edit these pages, and have another editor look over them before letting the general public see them. As such, gaining the user right depends on having a track record of looking for specific edits of other users, such as vandalism, copyright infringement, and BLP violations. I don't see those actions being done in your edits. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 22:40, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Rollback

User:Phlogiston Enthusiast

Hello! I am Phlogiston Enthusiast. I would like a moment of your time to request rollback rights. I believe that I could use rollback permissions to assist in anti-vandalism in the recent changes tab. There are multiple reasons for this. For one, it would streamline reverts on articles that need them, and be a useful tool against vandalism. This is because if a user is making edits of a vandalistic nature, they are likely to have made multiple. Rollback would assist with these issues and prevent long and drawn-out revert wars by vandals. Second, I believe that I meet the qualifications for the role. I possess experience patrolling the recent changes section, and have reverted many vandalous edits. If need be, I can attempt to provide a comprehensive list of the articles on which I have combatted vandalism. Finally, I understand that it looks bad to have had two arguments over vandalism-related subjects in the past. However, I would argue that this is almost the opposite, as having a clean record with no mistakes would mean that I had no mistakes to learn from, and as well I have apologized to all parties involved in both. In summary, I believe that I should possess rollback rights as to better combat vandalism, and if need be there can be elaboration. If not, I completely understand.

Ammending: this was written roughly a month ago. I was told that I would need one month's experience more before I should re-apply. I have since aqquired more than this. I have been the cause for scores of blocks and have better since de-vandalized the Wiki. Following my embarrasing mishap recently reguarding confusion over the tool, I have better researched it and now believe I would be more fit to utilize this.

(Non-administrator comment) That isn't really relevant to rollback though; admins will check your edits when they review this, and reverts and counter-vandalism is what matters for rollback. HurricaneZetaC 16:40, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
Okay, sorry. Just trying to say I understand to an extent what does and does not break syntax. (Talk) PHLOGISTON ENTHUSIAST 16:51, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
Also worth ammending is that it would provide access to interceptor, which is a useful tool I believe I could do a great deal of antivandalism with in a way that is more efficient than the typical recent changes page. (Talk) PHLOGISTON ENTHUSIAST 18:33, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Phlogiston Enthusiast, an admin will review the needed information. I don't see how a lot of these notes are relevant to rollback; pending changes requires some overlapping skills with rollback (such as the ability to effectively determine what is vandalism), but it is an entirely different right for good reason, and does require different skills. Rollback's primary purpose is to assist with recent changes patrolling. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 21:53, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
Okay, sorry. Just trying to put everything on the table here. (Talk) PHLOGISTON ENTHUSIAST 02:25, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

User:Theeverywhereperson

I would like to renew my rollback rights, because I have been using AntiVandal constructively, and the same other reasons as my most recent request. Theeverywhereperson talk here 11:14, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Namely:
  1. I am a recent changes patroller and have been patrolling for a few months now,
  2. I have made more than 700 edits in mainspace and more than 1700 edits in total,
  3. Since I am already a pending changes reviewer, I am also used to reverting vandalism in some areas where it isn't visible to everyone yet, so I think I am trained for the job,
  4. This would allow me to use tools like AntiVandal to revert vandalism easier and faster, for the benefit of Wikipedia as a whole.

I do quite a bit of work responding to issues raised at WP:COIN and, to a lesser extent, WP:BLPN, and having this right would be helpful for determining, for example, whether a page with non-NPOV edits from multiple TAs would better benefit from a request to block a particular IP range, or whether page protection is the more appropriate approach. I have read the guidelines for the permission (in particular WP:TAIVDISCLOSE), and commit that I will use the permission only in full compliance with those guidelines.
