Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| 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.

Current requests for increase in protection level
Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Reason: ongoing vandalism, edit warring. It appears that reliable sources and notability links were removed by a wiki user. What do these wiki modes know about this niche?? Undo rationale: This proposed deletion is unwarranted and reflects a lack of familiarity with the subject matter. The article concerns a notable and long-standing media brand that has been reviewed and approved by both UK and US Wikipedia moderators. The deletion rationale appears overzealous and poorly researched, especially given that similar media outlets (e.g., Popjustice, The Line of Best Fit, Far Out) maintain pages with fewer documented milestones. Instead of proposing deletion, improvements should be encouraged. Editors unfamiliar with the digital media and entertainment news niche should refrain from making sweeping judgments without due diligence. IanMeCoyle (talk) 09:01, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Declined There is no vandalism on this page, merely spirited debate about sources and lots of undeclared COI contributions. I have !voted delete at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MarkMeets Magazine thanks to this nom. BusterD (talk) 11:06, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: slight level of IP Requesting confirmed protection. 007sak (talk) 14:43, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- The page was previously protected with extended confirmed access due to high level of pov push by registered users and now there is no protection so requesting semi protected for at least a week due to the controversial nature of the subject and chances for further ip vandalism. 007sak (talk) 14:48, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- Extended confirmed protection have been applied by an administrator. 007sak (talk) 16:42, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on 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.
Reason: This protection is no longer necessary because this article has no IP edits for over a year ago, and this type of protection is stale. Plus, there has not been any vandalism in over couple years. 205.155.225.249 (talk) 19:01, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
No IP edits for over a year ago
is self-evident given it's semi-protected. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 20:21, 28 April 2025 (UTC)- Is one year enough to unprotect? 205.155.225.249 (talk) 20:22, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Article was protected since 2011. I think the article is in bad shape and may need to be improved further, so unprotecting it can be good. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 13:59, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- Not unprotected – Unprotecting the article has been tried and regretted more than once. The subject of the article is taught in schools and attracts puerile vandalism. The last IP edit to the article prior the the most recent protection (Special:Diff/450468727) is a prime example. Favonian (talk) 14:48, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits 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.
Please add, "Suryavanshi has close connection with Muzaffarpur and also practiced cricket there." Abhijeetk235 (talk) 10:53, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Not done – You have already made an edit request on the article talk page. Please await response. Favonian (talk) 14:23, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
