Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

[edit]
Request protection of a page, or increasing the 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, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Binksternet (talk) 00:21, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Last year, I requested protection (see further discussion here); that request was ultimately denied and I let it go, believing that yes, they were frustrating edits, but that it would be better to err on the side of assuming good faith. However, once again an IP editor (from a newly-used IP) has made disruptive edits:

Recently, other IP editors have just simply caused more work to be done through edits that have:

Also, even before the massive amounts of IP edits that have been made since 2024, there has historically been vandalizing by IP editors on this page across several years; examples include: 2017 (1); 2018 (2); 2019 (4, 5); 2022 (6, 7); 2023 (8). The nature of this list being the win-loss records of NBA teams probably attracts some NBA fans to inflate or deflate a team's win-loss record based on their feelings about that team, which is something I've seen over on the analogous NFL list from my time editing that one.

I previously nominated this list for featured list status in 2022, but withdrew the nomination at the time. I think the list is currently a lot closer to FL than it was when I withdrew that nom, but the IP edits have created a lot more work to then have to clean up. Considering that in 2024, there were more unregistered edits to this list than from 2015-2023 combined, and that already in 2025, there have been more unregistered edits than in any year prior to 2024, I do not have confidence that these unregistered edits will slow down or make things easier to maintain. So, I am once again kindly requesting any form of page protection. Soulbust (talk) 00:21, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Zinderboff (talk) 01:28, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: The subject of this article recently made a "deathbed confession" that he touched a UFO or something. The article has been the subject of extensive off-WP canvassing and advocacy by UFO enthusiasts on X (e.g. [3] and Reddit (e.g. of five different Reddit threads [4]). The results has been a steady stream of problematic edits by WP:SPAs. A week or two of semi-protection would allow a bit of breathing room. Chetsford (talk) 03:16, 24 April 2025 (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 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.

Unprotection: Article was protected in 2019 for sockpuppetry/vandalism. I have found no evidence that this vandal is still active, and the article seems unlikely to become a vandalism magnet again over five years later. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 01:11, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

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.
