Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

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.

Economy of Pakistan
Reason: Continued addition of random unsourced content by multiple users not conforming to the citations provided on the article space. Sneha04 💬 14:06, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Federal Assault Weapons Ban
Reason: High level of vandalism that is resulting in incorrect citations. Important in wake of the 2022 Uvalde shooting this week. Needs to accurately communicate the evidence of the cited studies, but many recent edits are resulting in the exact opposite of what the citations say. Some edits are also adding unreliable sources with inaccurate representations of the data. Needs to stay factual. Tigeropolis (talk) 15:22, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Louise Araneta-Marcos
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Repeated premature edits to present her as First Lady of the Philippines which is not necessarily the same as the spouse of the president. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 15:24, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Laksmi De-Neefe Suardana
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism. Migsmigss (talk) 16:28, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Malinaccier (talk) 17:50, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to List of fictional European countries
Reason: Vandalism motivated by ultranationalism and chauvinism, especially after the article was featured on Depths of Wikipedia account. Its existing content should also need to be reviewed in my opinion. White Ruthenyan (talk) 16:41, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There is a lot of activity (and I agree the content needs improvement), but most of it is in good faith so I am reluctant to protect this now. Feel free to re-request if things get substantially worse. Malinaccier (talk) 17:54, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Scott Jensen (Minnesota politician)
Reason: Candidate for office whose page has been almost unilaterally altered by a newly registered editor with possible WP:COI issues. Beginning to cause disruption and edit warring with other editors. Woko Sapien (talk) 17:30, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
User(s) blocked. Malinaccier (talk) 18:20, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant
Reason: Disruptive editing by IP users. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:02, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Koko (gorilla)
Reason: Disruptive IP editing by two IP users. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:22, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
K. S. Chithra
Extended confirmed protection: BLP policy violations – It seems that the pending changes protection is not sufficient protect the article from determined persons from introducing promotional fluff into the article with registered account(s) with autoconfirmed rights. – robertsky (talk) 18:23, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Sindhudesh
Reason: High level of IP Vandalisation including from the regional users which come from mostly unregistered accounts and non-verified users,
these users not only harm the information present but they further damage it, I humbly request the moderators to please increase the protection.
Thank you.

Ryan Cooper
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Jalen Folf (talk) 18:48, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Reason: High level of vandalism and persistent attempts to edit the page without reaching conclusion despite warnings. Iamritwikaryan (talk) 18:56, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. Random IPs vandalizing page. Nythar (talk) 19:50, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Tomorrow X Together
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. Nythar (talk) 20:06, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Koshary
Reason: A very popular food. 156.174.22.208 (talk) 20:18, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Makonnen Wolde Mikael
Reason: Content conflict over the persons ancestry, potentially controversial addition by a user, in which IP's are responding. Talkpage is bypassed by everyone, user and ip's alike. Temporary extended protection is needed. YonasJH (talk) 20:30, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Balen Shah
Unprotection: Now notable as he is elected as the Mayor of the capital (Kathmandu) city of Nepal. No need to protect anymore. Bada Kaji (talk • श्रीमान् गम्भीर) 18:39, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
Dawes (band)
Reason: This page was protected over 10 years ago due to a spate of vandalism at the time. The article does not cover a generally controversial topic, and the length of the protection seems excessive. 2605:A601:AADC:2100:C2FA:4802:5984:FA49 (talk) 17:58, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
