Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected

(Redirected from Wikipedia:RPP)
"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    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 remove obvious vandalism.

    2026 in the Philippines

    Reason: Recurring and persistent sockpuppetry by WP:YAYSMAY15 sock. This is probably the 5th time this has to be raised this year and it would be better if long term protection be granted. Borgenland (talk) 09:42, 28 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Tough call. In response to your edit, I was referring to contact this edit summary written by a different user... just to let you know.‎ — B.J (talk) 09:53, 28 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    And another today [2]. Borgenland (talk) 09:41, 29 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Bandila

    Reason: High IP level of vandalism, claiming its return of the defunct late-night newscast on ABS-CBN, 6 years after the shutdown. The infobox got ruined but I already manually revert them to this[[3]] edit. BeemoKincaid (talk) 10:26, 28 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Gladiators (2024 British TV series)

    Chien Lee

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry from a large UPE/sockfarm just blocked at WP:Sockpuppet investigations/NC2020. See last 100 edits for how persistent this has been. These 20+ accounts were primarily low edit-count (often sub-10 total edits) SPAs, examples [4][5][6][7] etc., making longer-term semi-protection a useful option here. NicheSports (talk) 17:45, 28 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Morena Baccarin

    Reason: Persistent disruptive editing. This article was semi-protected following a request nearly two months ago. After the protection expired, TAs continued to add "Brazilian" to the lead sentence. Requesting semi-protection. Thanks in advance, Thedarkknightli (talk) 21:01, 28 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Carolyn Elliott

    Reason: Many TA’s making unsourced BLP edits regarding death of article subject. She may in fact have died but no reliable sources are reporting on it. Celjski Grad (talk) 12:16, 29 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Indian Knowledge Systems

    Reason: High level of ip pov pushing Myuoh kaka roi (talk) 13:20, 29 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    First white child

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – LTA target.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 13:28, 29 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Matan Even

    Reason: Frequent TA vandalism on BLP ~ crtbob (talk • contribs • talk) 15:54, 29 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Music, Fashion, Film

    Reason: Numerous recent disruptive edits by temporary users, including adding unsourced genres, [8][9][10][11] deviating from the article's established citation style,[12][13] and citing unreliable sources,[14] citation overkill,[15] or not citing sources at all.[16][17][18][19] Other violations include: [20] (WP:NOR, WP:V, WP:NPOV), and [21] (Trivial content).

    These disruptive edits have posed problems for skilled editors like myself who are trying to expand the article, resulting in excessive time spent on reverts and corrections. The subject of the article is an album which has recently been released, and therefore consistently needs to be updated with newly sourced information. Because of the problems identified here, it is making it unnecessarily difficult to add correctly sourced and verifiable information while having to contend with the consistent disruptive editing from temporary users. Zirthes (talk) 16:05, 29 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Amir Hatami

    Reason: Extended confirm protection Article related to the Israel-Arab conflict Loc863 (talk) 17:06, 29 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    List of University of Delaware people

    Reason: Already protected but LTA socks are still getting through. Protection should be changed to pending changes.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 17:44, 29 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Laval Rocket

    Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Frequent target of WP:LTA/HABS. Existing semi-protection has been overcome by LTA using registered accounts. The Kip (contribs) 19:30, 29 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Danny Welbeck

    List of biggest box-office bombs

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – An editor, under multiple IP numbers and SPAs has been conducting a slow-burn edit-war to remove a properly sourced entry from this list. If you review the history it has been going on since April 9th (the edit is easy to track through the edit history because it always results in a 1,279 bytes deduction). Suggest semi-protection for a couple of months and see if that breaks the cycle. Betty Logan (talk) 20:32, 29 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Tai Tuivasa

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Nswix (talk) 20:58, 29 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism after lapse. Nswix (talk) 01:08, 30 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Rock Paper Scissors (TV series)

    Reason: Resumed sockpuppetry/block eviasion via Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Son of Zorn. Also worth noting this resumed immediately following the most recent page protection lasting from April 29 to today. Magitroopa (talk) 01:51, 30 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Let's lock this up for a few months...see if the IP shocking just gives up. Moxy🍁 02:37, 30 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    I feel like this protection should be indefinite, given that it has needed protection 20 times in the past XXXX6666XXX (t · c) 03:20, 30 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Ryan Guzman

    Reason: Vandalism and edit filter triggering by multiple temporary accounts MathMan4 (talk) 03:13, 30 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Treaty of Trianon

    Reason: Every day IP vandalization, no explanation, no talk page usage (more IPs, even new red link user with the same edit) OrionNimrod (talk) 08:39, 30 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Download

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This is really starting to irritate me. People have been using this page to download media as if Wikipedia is able to do that, and I'm worried about potential scam links... - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 08:47, 30 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Hagger

    Reason: Like my last request, this is no longer needed as this was mostly used to prevent LTAs to moving the page to Grawp-like titles (e.g. H..A..G..G..E..R..?). This is how Grawp spells Hagrid's name in the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film from 2007. Because JarlaxleArtemis is an LTA that is no longer active, I recommend and suggest removing the protection or even a step further to removing the move protection of this page (extended confirmed would be okay for the Hagrid request). — SimpleObjects-9ei 🏖️/☀️/🥵 (see talk) 21:39, 27 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Big Brother 11 (American season)

    Reason: Reset pending protection: Low reject rate edits by new or TA users with the last rejected edit being on 26 July 2025. Being the only rejected pending edit of that year, the page doesn't seem to be attracting controversial BLP edits in the long-term.~2026-41989-38 (talk) 20:29, 29 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Gaza genocide

    you guys dont add the fact that 80% of infrastructure is destroyed in gaza and only about 3% of the population is death and that includes fighters so how are they targetting civillians exactly AverageArticle (talk) 06:46, 30 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Have a read through WP:EDITXY to see how to write an edit request that is likely to be accepted and processed. Wikipedia isn't therapy. It's not here to help people cope with the savagery of the violence carried out by Israelis and Palestinians against children, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters etc. using statistical abstractions like 'only about...'. Editors sample and summarize reliably sourced content, so if you think something notable should be added, removed or amended, you should provide one or more reliable sources to support the proposed change, and extended confirmed editors will consider it. Sean.hoyland (talk) 07:53, 30 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
