Requests for page protection
Shortcuts

This page is for requesting that a page, file or template be protected. Please read up on 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 only 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, the protection is listed in the page history and logs with a short description indicating why it was protected, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. Further discussion should take place on the Talk page of the article. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins do not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

Note: Editors should not consider requesting page protection as a method for continuing an argument from elsewhere nor as a venue for starting a new discussion regarding article content. If a request contains excessive argument, appears to be intended to resolve a content dispute, includes personal attacks or uncivil comments, or has any other unrelated discussion, it will be removed from this page and no action will be taken.

Lost Cause of the Confederacy

Reason: Excessive IP vandalism, particularly claiming that the Lost Cause is a "truth" rather than a pseudohistorical mythology. Joe.Del73 (talk) 13:59, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stop x nuvola with clock.svg User(s) blocked. El_C 14:17, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Max Park

Reason: I log on almost everyday at least for the last week or so to find an IP has "updated" the page with misinformation. If you look at the edit history you will see what I am referring to, at no point does the source say what these IPs are saying it does. Thats another thing I would like to point out, it is always a new IP every time, often ones that have never contributed to wikipedia. For these reasons, I am hoping to get the page semi-protected to prevent this from happening so much. Thank you AFrickingNerd (talk) 14:54, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mass articles edited by sock

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – User:Flix11 's IP sock is editing these article actively these days. See also Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Flix11 Hhkohh (talk) 15:48, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Liu Yifei

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Edit-warring first by an IP and now by a non-ECP account. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 16:00, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Seems unwarranted since the IP's edits were on 5 March 2022. The other editor User:Disansee has previously created one new article in February 2022,[1] which seems to involve good faith edits judging from their preparatory sandbox. Given that background, the WP:3RR warnings[2][3] are puzzling. Mathsci (talk) 16:57, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Edit-warring has little to do with good or bad faith. You stalking me, however (you never edited that page before - [4]), is not the first time, and I've already respectfully asked that you stop doing that. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 17:03, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see edit-warring at the moment. There was a Smart aleck edit-summary with "And I'm the Queen of England". The edit history is self-explanatory.[5] Mathsci (talk) 17:29, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Elliott Smith

Reason: Anonymous IP keeps attempting to change the location of death, without providing annotation. Multiple attempts go as far back as Dec. 4th 2021 as far as I can tell. Leitmotiv (talk) 16:13, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected – Two months. EdJohnston (talk) 16:53, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Schefter

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. Presistent vd by six accounts. Edit: I think it should be protected for more than just a few days. See also: Sockpuppet investigations/2605:A601:A0C2:9300:5B9:EEE5:F447:4629. lol1VNIO (talk • contribs) 16:32, 9 April 2022 (UTC); Edited 16:51, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Already protected by administrator Cullen328. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:15, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Massive

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Clearly there's someone using sock accounts to try and redirect this page as an act of vandalism, but I cannot find a master. Jalen Folf (talk) 17:09, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stop x nuvola with clock.svg User(s) blocked. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:14, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Butterfly (Crazy Town song)

Reason: IP's consistently removing sourced genres and being reverted when I revert their removals. This is a prominent issue on the article and is the only way for the page to deal with IP genre warriors. Rockmusicfanatic20 (talk) 17:25, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:43, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cha Eun-woo

Reason: Potential edit war from incessant reverting of the removal of network mentions in tables relating to his TV work... This has been happening since March, please make it stop! lIl-†V!wanna talk?` 17:40, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Willy Moon

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because everyone has moved on from the X Factor incident. 2406:3003:2077:3DC5:2044:91B2:B976:C6B9 (talk) 16:07, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
