Revision as of 07:25, 23 May 2021

    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

    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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here



    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Rubina Dilaik

    Temporary semi-protection for 5 months please: The page has been constantly vandalised many times ever since she has won Bigg Boss 14. For example users repeatidly changing her dob birth year to 1989 when the source given says her age was 30 in 2017 and born in 1987. And also if you see here [1] [2] [3] So please protected the page for 5 months.

    It's not just that; I'm also concerned with a recent edit from FnKey that had to be revdel'd and vandalism like this. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 01:50, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent

    vandalism – Obviously a contentious subject, appears to be hit by IPs with unreferenced negative comments but other IPs (possibly subject themselves) who are whitewashing/removing referenced material. Recommend setting to [5] this version and locking. Ifnord (talk) 00:31, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

    Worth noting that the article is brand new as of today - I wonder if it would be a good idea to draftify, work out a neutral and BLP-compliant version, then move back into main space Gaelan 💬✏️ 00:39, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    The white-washing editor who is removing almost all the (referenced) content is replacing the criminal history with "No criminal history". I do believe in consensus but this specific IP, who has only edited this article, I do not foresee taking part in consensus-building. Ifnord (talk) 00:46, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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.

    Not done – Unsourced claim for something that's inherently unquantifiable. Favonian (talk) 18:59, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually it is quantifiable. The measurement would be tourist visits. In that respect, based on sources I found, New York City does indeed come out number one when considering only US cities, in terms of both foreign tourism as well as domestic tourism. For US states, on the other hand New York isn't even in the top three. But changing "populous" to "popular" is just wrong and vague, and doesn't reflect the sources already cited. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:37, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a {{pagelinks}} template and then the reason.
