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.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This page is hot on social media and this is only the beginning of the deluge. Ogress 19:00, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ogress: I see the problem and WP:ECP is probably possible due to WP:ARBPIA. But I'm old fashioned and think there should be an explanation on article talk and some attempt to direct new users there. I know it won't be effective but there should be an attempt, and the last message on talk is over six years old. Johnuniq (talk) 06:29, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Alpha Motor Corporation (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection: Multiple new users and IP editors (possibly paid or COI) adding/reinstating promotional-esque material and external links into the article. Waddles 🗩 🖉 22:57, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WaddlesJP13: Sorry but this is a bit tricky. I'll leave it open in case anyone wants to add an opinion. Any admin should feel free to take whatever action they think desirable. I agree that the new text is obviously inappropriate with excessive marketing fluff, but I'm not comfortable protecting on that basis, particularly since semi-protection will soon be inadequate. I think the slow grind of trying to get others involved will be needed: wikiproject, WP:COIN. Johnuniq (talk) 06:44, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Slow grind is exactly the point: this can't be solved via protection. WP:COIN is the best idea. Lectonar (talk) 06:51, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Sall Grover (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Requesting indefinite as this the same kind of low-level vandalism/disruption happens every month or so, has been for years. GraziePrego (talk) 01:28, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GraziePrego: Regarding the most recent IP edit, is "Grover's" correct? Do the three references assert "anti-transgender organisations"? I'm sure it is an ongoing issue, but the article was created in March 2024 so it's not "years". I don't think protection should be used unless there is a clear consensus for the wording (and sources) on article talk. Did I miss something? Johnuniq (talk) 06:52, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Doping in China (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Still too much blanking, addition of uncited content, and warring going on from WP:SPAs here. Amigao (talk) 03:47, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Doping in the United States (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – A series of NPOV edits, blanking, and warring by WP:SPAs. Amigao (talk) 04:07, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Continued vandalism & edit warring. As per IP - 73.225.140.133. Thewikizoomer (talk) 08:15, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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.

A historical archive of previous protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive.
