Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Perennial sock and LTA target, continuing after expiry of semi-protection a few days ago. - Umby 🌕🐶 (talk) 04:19, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: Boi nom (talk · contribs) blocked by Dbeef. indefinitely. No edits in three days. Daniel Case (talk) 19:56, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Apri DAV (talk) 10:18, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 11:23, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 18:59, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism. User ~2025-39361-91 Snokalok (talk) 19:12, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Looks like various wording changes from a single user that aren't clear-cut vandalism either. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 19:54, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Recent and frequent target of WP:LTA/HABS. The Kip (contribs) 19:52, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The disruption restarted as soon as the year-long protection expired. M.Bitton (talk) 20:03, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
- The disruption will continue as long as it's not protected. M.Bitton (talk) 15:38, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary pending changes: BLP policy violations – This BLP gets intermittent but serious BLP-violating edits accusing the subject of murder. Requesting a couple years of PC to help plug the gaps in time where experienced editors have not yet noticed and reverted the violations. It would be helpful if the PC log entry noted WP:BLPCRIME as the persistent issue, so reviewers know what to look out for. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 21:00, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Frequent vandalism over the past week. TheInevitables (talk) 22:04, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 22:36, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary pending changes protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. Persistent disruptive editing from TAs & from socks of WP:LTA/D86 Staraction (talk · contribs) 23:38, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP vandalism and even more vandalism from a new account. NotJamestack (✉️|📝) 23:40, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – vandalism continued right after the page was unprotected again... seems like they're going to continue to do it long after the trade period's finished, and a longer semi-protection might be warranted. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 00:16, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
- Definitely this is indeed an LTA, probably should be indef semi. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 05:07, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Repeated reinsertion of incorrect information by IP-hopping editor. Number 57 01:31, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Semi-protection, temp-account user(s) and low-edit-count user consistently violating WP:AGEMATTERS and providing no comprehensible edit summaries to back up their edits (most recently accusing me of bad faith in lieu of an explanation of their edit). – GlowstoneUnknown (Talk) 02:04, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism, long-term target. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 03:42, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: The personality was recently awarded UNEP's Champions of the Earth Award. So, there is a high likelihood of unsubstantiated claims and edits against her, especially after the award. There are already a few similar claims. Personality was not with the Department when the decision was taken. Tejprakashyadav (talk) 06:10, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: High level of anon and new accounts vandalizing and editing disruptively. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 06:40, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: High level of anon and new accounts vandalizing and editing disruptively. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 06:47, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Article about a recently released film related to WP:CT/IMH. A lot of new users who refuse to respond or enage in discussion and continue disrupting the article. A temp or perma ECP under IMH should both be fine. Gotitbro (talk) 07:05, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Severe vandalism. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 08:14, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent edit warring by temporary accounts. Jay8g [V•T•E] 09:37, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Nvdtn19 (talk) 09:44, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

- MNCTV (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- SCTV (TV network) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – persistent ip (and then ta) vandalism, almost definitely from the same editor. still just as incoherent as ever, though it's at least decidedly trolling now. ~2025-39459-60 (talk) 11:38, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated. Absolutiva 12:26, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: The article has been repeatedly vandalized and includes sensitive biographical information about a living person. Several anonymous users have added unsourced or defamatory claims. Requesting semi-protection to prevent further disruptive editing and maintain the integrity of verified information. Arman360Editor (talk) 13:34, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: BLP policy violations – This page has had continuous changes back and forth between "cult" by IP editors and "new religious movement" by logged-in editors trying to avoid WP:CONTENTIOUS, a middle-ground was somewhat established on Talk:Twin Flames Universe#Cult status to drop the "new" of religious movement to also avoid WP:EUPHEMISM. The short description and the lead are now matching with "religious organization." Snuggle 📫 🖤 13:50, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Potential for high amount of vandalism by IPs in the coming days when the event occurs YeedyYaada (talk) 14:28, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Secure page Kaustubh42 (talk) 15:40, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – every single non-automated edit for nearly a month has been vandalism or reversion of it. consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 16:03, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Persistent IP user(s) re-adding BLP info without consensus in violation of WP:BLPRESTORE. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 16:48, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:48, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Already protected by administrator Star Mississippi. Favonian (talk) 21:06, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Vandalism because of its Kurdish content and a lot of vandalism hasn’t been reverted ~2025-40405-78 (talk) 18:15, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing by anonymous editors. livelikemusic (TALK!) 18:38, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. WikiHelper3906 19:09, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Did you link the right page? CoconutOctopus talk 19:15, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Fresh flood of vandalism coming in. Entranced98 (talk) 19:21, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated disruptive IP editing and vandalism. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 20:09, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Temporary accounts are persistently contesting the redirect that was the result of an AfD discussion. Requesting full protection because there is no legitimate reason (the TA is using "other stuff exists" rationales, for one) for anyone to overwrite this AfD-imposed redirect. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:21, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated section blanking from IPs and WP:SPAs. Amigao (talk) 20:32, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason: High level of disputes from Sept 4th onwards regarding Matcha’s origins, leading to lots of baseless conjecture in the article. CookieInsomniac (talk) 20:37, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. LaffyTaffer💬(she/they) 20:58, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]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.
Reason: requesting a downgrade to semi. current protection is ECP. disruption only done by TAs. 2 action max (talk) 15:48, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – There have also been several cases of disruptive editing by auto-confirmed socks. Favonian (talk) 18:50, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]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.
- You may add the appropriate template (
{{Edit protected}},{{Edit template-protected}},{{Edit extended-protected}}, or{{Edit semi-protected}}) to the article's talk page if you would like to request an edit be made. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed. - For edit requests being made due to the editor having a conflict of interest with the article subject (see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}template should be used instead of the others listed above. - Requests to move pages that are currently move-protected should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not on this page.
- This page is not for holding discussions regarding content. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit that you wish to be performed.
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.
Pls add reference to WSJ article on vast scale of Gaza Destruction, WSJ is traditionally pro war (editor was Max Boot), and it's significant that even they are admitting it https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/gaza-rubble-reconstruction-israel-war-85f12cfa Progress and Poverty (talk) 13:58, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- The WSJ article doesn't use the genocide label. It reports the facts on the ground. So, it is probably better suited for Gaza war#Scale of destruction and/or the main article Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip. You are welcome to post an edit request on the talk page of either article asking for one or more specific pieces of information from the source to be incorporated. If you do so, you should follow the WP:EDITXY guideline, and avoid personal opinion/analysis. I don't think it has been used so far according to this and this anyway, but there may already be discussions somewhere... Sean.hoyland (talk) 14:47, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Sean.hoyland: Talk:Gaza genocide and Talk:Gaza war are both XCP'd. Talk:Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip isn't. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:30, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Jéské Couriano:, thanks. I should have checked that (I made a 'ARBPIA page protection status' table by the way). Sean.hoyland (talk) 17:09, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

I want to add citations that add to the k2 mountain for a school assignment, I don't want to edit any content or add anything new. I only want to increase the references page. KaushalBhu (talk) 21:54, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
- Go here, press add topic at the top bar, and paste this in:
- {{Edit semi-protected|K2|answered=no}}
- [Replace this line with whatever you want to add.]
- Thanks. Toast1454TC 00:10, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
