    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.

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – We have a problem with a new editor not understanding the process of adding sources..... Let's make this unedible for them for a few days until we can figure this out. Best we teach them what to do than just block them out right. Moxy🍁 15:31, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Sorry, but it's difficult to justify protecting the page on account of a single user, not to mention at WP:ECP level, and not to mention going from no protection straight to to ECP (and finally for a page that has never been protected before). El_C 20:35, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    O well..... We will just go ahead and block another potential editor. Moxy🍁 20:55, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You can work to adjust the protection policy accordingly (I have no strong view either way), but I can't violate it on a whim, Moxy. El_C 21:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I was hoping to go to the soft route with a child editor. Moxy🍁 21:08, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. AE of what issues? That is not made clear and wasn't immediately apparent. Feel free to relist with reasoning that supports the need for (as opposed to just coverage by) a sanction regime, which would be WP:ARBIPA in this instance. El_C 20:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Killing of Laken Riley

    Reason: Persistent vandalism, POV-pushing, and MOS violations, mostly by IPs Gottagotospace (talk) 20:31, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not done — you are in the wrong here actually, Gottagotospace. Please observe WP:BLPCRIME. El_C 20:42, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't understand. IPs keep changing it to "murder" and I switch it back to "killing" so it follows our MOS. They also keep adding biased language about the suspect's immigration status. Can you please help me understand what I'm doing wrong? Gottagotospace (talk) 20:44, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The diff of the latest edit shows quite clearly the issue. Maybe you got mixed up? El_C 20:47, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, that was a small mistake on my part. I did not add "murder" - that was added by an IP. There were two IP edits I should've reverted, but I accidentally only reverted one, so "murder" was leftover by an IP. I'll try to be more careful next time and revert both. Thank you. Gottagotospace (talk) 20:50, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, "small mistake" only because it got quickly corrected by that IP... But no worries, these things happen. And with that explained, on closer look:

    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 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.

    Example Article Name

    Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because there is misinformation in the page , it said the Libyan families were compensated when in truth they never were. They couldn’t afford to take it to court and Israel pretended they did offer to compensate but the Libyans rejected it. that is not true at all according to officers, Israel refused to even acknowledge their wrongdoing and refused to compensate the families. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.185.29.50 (talk) 20:04, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Comment: How can there be "misinformation" on a page that doesn't exist? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 20:36, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Woefully inadequate request. Favonian (talk) 21:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene

    The quote below is misleading in that Plan B can prevent a fertilized egg from implantation. This information is found on the box of Plan B. Ms Greene's use of the term "baby" is understood by most to mean a human being in germinal form. I would like the entire quote removed. Barring that then adding that Plan B can prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. Thanks. "In 2021, Greene falsely claimed that the Plan B contraceptive "kills a baby in the womb"; Plan B actually prevents ovulation and thus prevents pregnancy, instead of terminating a pregnancy.[168][169]" 99.11.248.241 (talk) 17:04, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Given the passage can be sourced to the references cited (the "[168][169]" in the excerpt above), it's unlikely to be removed. I'd also strongly suggest finding a less-volatile topic area. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 17:31, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not done. The phrase "understood by most" above is a made-up fact that would need backing up, and therefore this isn't a valid rationale to remove the quotation. There may be a fertilized egg that isn't yet implanted, but there is no "baby in the womb" because nothing is attached to the womb. This is in fact what Plan B is intended to prevent. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
