Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

• Yuta Okkotsu (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Since the animated adaptation of his series has returned, multiple anons have edited the article with nonencyclopedic information or just bias. Users, on the other hand, should be free to edit. Tintor2 (talk) 23:13, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Ad Orientem (talk) 06:43, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Great Translation Movement (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Disruptive IP edits. Amigao (talk) 06:18, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ad Orientem (talk) 06:51, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, now @Amigao is accusing others of vandalism (which is blatantly untrue) when there is no evidence of such. @Ad Orientem, I invite you to analyse the contents of the talk page and my edits clearly. ~2026-28706-2 (talk) 07:21, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• List of Mario franchise characters (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 06:26, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The underlying IP range involved in all of the recent disruption has been blocked by another administrator for a week. Left guide (talk) 06:39, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Draft:Subskile (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Create protection: Repeatedly recreated – Deleted 11 times in a little over 5 years. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:15, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• List of Indian Premier League seasons and results (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Temporary users are repeatedly vandalizing the page with false content. Vestrian24Bio 08:57, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• 2026 Iran massacres (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Request for possibly some level of protection against page moves. The current consensus is 2026 Iran massacres. A non-consensus move was done at 00:36, 14 January 2026 by a user with extended-confirmed status, so I'm not sure what should be done here. Requiring admin-level status for a page move seems a bit excessive. The main topic 2025–2026 Iranian protests is a WP:CTOP currently linked from the main page. Boud (talk) 09:29, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Colorado (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Returned after three months of protection, frequent target according to the protection log. Entranced98 (talk) 09:34, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Before posting a request for unprotection, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.

To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.

DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...

• ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
  • If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
  • If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
• ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
• ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
• ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.

You may request a protection reduction below if...

• ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
• ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
• ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
• ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.

If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.

• Muhammad Zaidan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: This article has been under extended-confirmed restriction for more than 9 years which is quite extreme. The article in its current state requires several citations and contributions which it has not seen for a very, very long time—certainly due to this restriction. I am requesting the lifting of this protection or the reduction of the protection level thereof for the benefit of this page. JakeSkiffles (talk) 04:43, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Please remember that arbitration remedies regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict apply to this page.   Jalapeño   (u t g) 09:38, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Lamar Odom (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Unprotection: Long-retired, trying unprotection is probably not a bad thing by now, going to ping @Courcelles here as protecting admin back in 2011. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 08:13, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for specific edits should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from adding a request there.

• You may add the appropriate template ({{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}}) to the article's talk page if you would like to request an edit be made. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
• For edit requests being made due to the editor having a conflict of interest with the article subject (see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used instead of the others listed above.
• Requests to move pages that are currently move-protected should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not on this page.
• This page is not for holding discussions regarding content. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit that you wish to be performed.

Otherwise, this is the correct place to use in order to add an edit request if you are unable to add one to the article's talk page. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to properly add a request.

• Talk:Killing of Renee Good (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

I would like to put a protection notice with detailed information due to disruptive discussions that occured before the said protection:

• {{Notice|image=Extended-protection-shackle.svg|1=This [[WP:TALK|talk page]] is currently under '''extended-confirmed protection''' due to edits that were generally [[WP:DISRUPTIVE|disruptive]]. If you cannot edit this page and want to request a specific edit, [[WP:RFED|make an edit request]] instead.}}

This notice would be removed the moment the XC protection expires.

Thanks. ~2026-26884-1 (talk) 09:12, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Gaza war (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Here's the relevant text in the article:

> The Israeli government's response prompted international protests, arrests, and harassment.[835]

The relevant source:

> "2023 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: Israel, West Bank and Gaza". US Department of State. 2023. Retrieved 10 June 2024.

The source is totally misrepresented (quite possibly by accident). It has nothing to do with international reactions; it actually reviews the abysmal state of human rights in Israel. Looks like a decent source that could be used elsewhere though. Also, I think the reference to "harassment" is quite vague, and should be dropped unless some source supporting it can be found.

Thanks very much for all your hard work. ~2026-27973-7 (talk) 22:20, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Talk:Kosovo (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

Looking to have this edit placed on the Talk page for Kosovo.

The section 'History,' subsection 'Kosovo War,' second paragraph, last sentence:

'By 1996, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), an ethnic Albanian guerrilla paramilitary group that sought the separation of Kosovo and the eventual creation of a Greater Albania,[121] had prevailed over the Rugova's non-violent resistance movement and launched attacks against the Yugoslav Army and Serbian police in Kosovo, resulting in the Kosovo War.[117][122]'

I'm struggling to understand the use of 'the Rugova's' - it seems like an error. Could this perhaps be referring to Rugova and his wife (or even brother, other family member) working in tandem towards their movement? (e.g. JFK and RFK during JFK's presidency - 'The Kennedy's')

Or, is error the precedent 'the,' and Rugova was a singular figure leading said movement?
