Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 15:35, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: This user who requested protection has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 00:17, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:24, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Angkor Wat[edit]

Reason: Persistent IP vandalism Magentic Manifestations (talk) 15:37, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Not done. @Magentic Manifestations: @Remsense: The edits do not appear to be vandalism, the editor has not been warned a single time on their talk page, and the revert edit summaries are severely lacking. The editor has even tried to start a talk page discussion and has been completely ignored. Please read WP:BITE too. Even if the edits are bad for other reasons, protection is almost certainly not the next step here. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:32, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Negasonic Teenage Warhead[edit]

Phoenician settlement of North Africa[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Unregistered user is re-adding copyvio tag to article. My personal assessment is that the tag is unwarranted. Furthermore, the copyvio claims were addressed with good faith by User:Skitach. Unregistered user leaving unwarranted warnings on User:Skitach's talk page. Further assessment of copyvio claim is welcome. el.ziade (talkallam) 17:59, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Skitash did nothing to address the copyvio and neither did you. They're all clearly laid out on the talk page and the only thing he did was blank that page. The warning for removal of a copyvio tag on Skitsh's talk page was completely warranted. 2001:8F8:1D2E:CA72:0:0:42A7:AD01 (talk) 02:31, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Declined The IP has pointed out fundamental policy problems. After thanking them, more care needs to be taken to clean out the obvious copyvios that the IP clearly set out on article talk. Several of those points have been refactored but it is likely that the ideas and phrasings are still too closely following a source. Think of it this way: if you were an academic assessing an essay, what would you think after seeing the source? Johnuniq (talk) 03:22, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Not done. I'm in agreement with Johnuniq here. @Skitash: @Elias Ziade: Please read the copyright violation tag where it says Please do not remove this notice or restore blanked content until the issue is resolved by an administrator, copyright clerk, or volunteer response agent. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:31, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

CKY (band)[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: For the last week, an IP editor has been deleting information from CKY (band) under the false pretense that the information is incorrect, despite being back by a source. The user also falsely adds the deleted information to CKY (film series), making that article incorrect. The user has received numerous warnings over edit warring as been instructed to bring their issue up on the article's talk page but continues to just delete the info instead. If both articles could be temporarily semi-protected, that would help. NJZombie (talk) 18:00, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. @NJZombie: Let me know if it resumes. Johnuniq (talk) 03:30, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

President of Indonesia[edit]

Reason: Vandalism from IP Users. I think this page should be PC-Protected 125.160.114.232 (talk) 23:04, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:18, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 03:14, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

To any admin wondering: this is Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Nipponese Dog Calvero, same goes for the other four pages listed below. They are using autoconfirmed-gamed sockpuppet accounts to continue the disruption on the pages after they were semi-protected. — AP 499D25 (talk) 03:52, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

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 at 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[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.


ChatGPT[edit]

New URL Change from chat.openai.com to chatgpt.com 122.104.176.219 (talk) 06:54, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

(Not an Admin but...) The main url is chat.openai.com, chatgpt.com redirects you to there. No reason to change it Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 14:43, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
