    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.

    Bade Baba Temple

    Reason: Dear Wikipedia Administrators, I am writing to request protection for the Wikipedia page [Kundalpur Jain Temple (Bade Baba)] due to persistent vandalism and misinformation being added by certain individuals. The temple is a highly significant religious site for followers of the Digambar sect of Jainism, yet the page has repeatedly been altered with incorrect information, likely motivated by sectarian bias.

    Nature of the Issue

    1.Misinformation on Managing Body: The temple is managed by Shri Digambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Kundalpur Public Trust, but vandals have changed this to Shri Shwetambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Kundalpur Public Trust, which is factually incorrect.

    2.Religious and Cultural Sensitivity: The temple holds immense importance for the Digambar Jain community. The repeated alterations appear to stem from hate or jealousy, which disrespects the faith and beliefs of millions.

    Evidence of Vandalism

    Request for Protection

    Given the sensitivity of the topic and the repeated vandalism, I kindly request:

    1. Semi-protection: Restrict edits to registered and confirmed users.

    2. Long-term protection: Given the likelihood of continued attempts at misinformation, I request protection for an extended period.

    This will help ensure that the article maintains its accuracy and neutrality, in line with Wikipedia’s guidelines. Protecting this page would not only prevent further disruption but also respect the sentiments of the Jain community, particularly the Digambar sect.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if further details or evidence are needed.

    Sincerely,

    Anonymous 92.99.127.127 (talk) 12:43, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Forgiving the format and length here, you do realize that you will be unable to edit the article if it gets semi-protected? Daniel Case (talk) 07:01, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2025 TikTok–REDnote migration

    Reason: Frequent unilateral page moves. The title on this delete request is 2025 TikTok refugee crisis, someone moved the page to 2025 TikTok–REDnote migration and the talk page is Talk:2025 TikTok–REDnote mass migration. Queen Douglas DC-3 (talk) 05:08, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    This might not need protection but needs a fix. I'm not knowledgeable about this so I've posted it here. Queen Douglas DC-3 (talk) 05:45, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: I request semi-protecting this page again, this time permanently.

    Reason: Disruptive editing. HorrorLover555 (talk) 12:58, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. As you last tried to do two weeks ago. Since this is a dispute over sourcing, you might want to bring in some editors who specialize in that to look at it. Daniel Case (talk) 22:43, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Radziwiłł family

    Reason: Hello, IP user (46.112.80.216) continues to persistently remove valuable information from the lead of this article which summarizes this Lithuanian origin noble family's struggle for the independence of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and its crucial role in preserving the Grand Duchy of Lithuania as a separate state in the 16th and 17th centuries. Edits where this IP user (46.112.80.216) removed valuable content from the lead of the article: 1, 2, 3. In a short period of time this IP user removed the content three times already and by ignoring another experienced user Flat Out's request to stop doing this he performed the 3rd removal of content (see warning to him by user Flat Out here: 4), so clearly this IP user will not stop by himself. Consequently, I request administrators intervention with protection of this article in order to prevent further disruption by this IP user. -- Pofka (talk) 21:46, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Category:State terrorism

    Reason: This page has been fully protected from creation since 2007, which was a very long time ago. I don't know why it should have permanent full protection for almost 18 years, that's just overkill. Anyways I wanted to do something with this category, connect it with Category:State-sponsored terrorism, either as a super-category or at least a category redirect. So yes, may someone please unprotect this page? AHI-3000 (talk) 02:47, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Nothing

    Reason: No one edits it, 104.33.106.81 (talk) 21:26, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) No one edits it? You definitely are not correct. Every Wikipedia page receives at least one edit every so often. MadGuy7023 (talk) 21:39, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    (Non-administrator comment) This is clear data to the contrary, people DO edit the page, and the four edits this year are evidence enough to argue against any lowering. Two Extended-Confirmed editors disruptively blanking the page for "nothing-ness" and restoring a moment later? I can't imagine the disruption of shit edits if the page protection were to be lowered.

    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.
