    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

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – In the talk page for Lion Air Flight 610 we agreed that we only write "Loss of control in flight" and also agreed we'd add this to Flight 302. We kept telling other users but they kept distupting. CreatorOfMinecraftHerobrine (talk) 17:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Joe Moravsky

    Reason: Hello, I would like to know if the page could be protected. I have worked tirelessly on it, and I don't want anyone to vandalize it or my work. JoeK2033 (talk) 18:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment: @JoeK2033 There's no recent history of vandalism on this page – there was a spot of attempted vandalism in December 2023, but it's not justification enough to protect it. As per WP:PREEMPTIVE, Wikipedia policy is to not pre-emptively protect articles, as it goes against the spirit of an encyclopaedia anyone can edit. Thank you for your edits to the article! > Asheiou (they/them • talk) 19:11, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for taking the time to review the page. Crafting quality content takes time and effort, and I appreciate you reviewing the page! Enjoy your day. JoeK2033 (talk) 19:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Michael Oliver (referee)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – No pending changes seem to be actually constructive, might be a waste of resources to continue to review every one that comes through. Semi-protection would be ideal. > Asheiou (they/them • talk) 19:06, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    It's not one user - it's lots of IPs and every pending edit the page has had for months has been reverted. Every single IP edit to the page since August is marked as reverted. > Asheiou (they/them • talk) 21:17, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Zonhoven

    Reason: User FateHags99 persistently attempts to include a particular individual in the "Notable persons born/raised in Zonhoven" section, despite the individual lacking significant notability. This behavior extends to both the Dutch and French versions of Wikipedia. Following a temporary block on the Dutch Wikipedia, and to prevent further disruption, protection has been applied to the Zonhoven article across both the Dutch and French Wikipedia editions. Given the ongoing addition of a person lacking clear notability, I request page protection for the article. Ø11 (talk) 20:29, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the 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.

    Cindy Ji Hye Kim

    Reason: The admin who protected the title back in 2020, TomStar81, is not very active and an AfC reviewer has determined Draft:Cindy Ji Hye Kim is acceptable (see notes on the draft and User talk:Theroadislong#Cindy Ji Hye Kim). Also see User talk:Markt2141#Re:Email where it appears TomStar81 was not opposed to article but thought what was created back in 2020 needed more work to establish notability. S0091 (talk) 17:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Cindy Ji Hye Kim appears to pass WP:NARTIST with work in a number of museums and collections. Theroadislong (talk) 17:26, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

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