Permenant semi-protection Ever since the last semi was removed on 3 April, the page has been subject to persistant IP vandalism, particuarly around Arsenal matches.

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.

East Turkistan Government in Exile

• East Turkistan Government in Exile (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Unprotection: It's been about 9 years since this page redirect was protected and there exists another page East Turkistan Government-in-Exile. It's probably OK to unprotect now; and remove the re-direct to Anwar Yusuf Turani. It would be best to either delete this page or merge it with the existing East Turkistan Government-in-Exile page.

@Sandstein: as the protecting admin. Woody (talk) 08:45, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Fortune Global 500

• Fortune Global 500 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello everyone. I kindly ask you if it is possible to make a specific section of the "Fortune Global 500" page non-editable and specifically "Breakdown by country/territory". I kindly ask you to read the talk page of the page. In the last month there have been continuous attempts at editing CONTRARY to the fundamental principles of Wikipedia.

Specifically, the SOURCE cited "Global 500". Fortunes. Retrieved October 23, 2023" EXPLICITLY indicates that, for 2023, the United States is first with 136 companies and China is second with 135 companies.

Some editors continue to change the figure to indicate that China has 142 companies. In fact, they add 7 Taiwanese companies to the 135 companies in China.

However, this is contrary to what is reported in the SOURCE and allows a POLITICALLY MOTIVATED SUBJECTIVE POINT OF VIEW to prevail.

Taiwan is considered a territory and therefore its companies should not be added to those of China.

I therefore ask you to leave the data for 136 companies for the United States and 135 for China unchanged and ineditable.

This request is driven only by technical considerations, relating to RESPECT for the principles of Wikipedia and not political ones. In fact, Taiwan is not a de jure country.

Thank you. Chrisques5 (talk) 23:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chrisques5: Protection is page-level and cannot be done for specific sections. Even if this were possible, you requested this on the page for requesting edits for the page. You want to request protection at WP:RFPP/I. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 23:20, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Miss Arizona USA

• Miss Arizona USA (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello! I am hoping someone is able to assist me in updated the 2024 Miss Arizona USA's name on the winners list. Her legal name is actually just the letter K, however someone posted Kristina which is incorrect. If you refer to the Miss Arizona USA's social media pages you can see they also have her name listed as just the letter K.

If you need any communications from Miss Arizona USA herself, please let me know.

Thank you! Drlopez3129 (talk) 20:45, 28 May 2024 (UTC) Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a {{pagelinks}} template and then the reason.[reply]
