• Unitary executive theory (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Lots of partisan editing. Examples of weasel words throughout. Reads more like an argument for it at times rather than an explanation of it. With the theory arguably being tested in real life fight now, I can imagine this page could use some protection for a while.

• Eyal Ofer (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary protection: Requesting ECP, ARBPIA-related, IP changing birthplace from Israel to Palestine with no sources, only thing the IP is doing. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 22:29, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Civilian casualty ratio (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Not sure about this one because it's only partially in the relevant sanctions area, but the page has become relevant to WP:ARBPIA and should probably be ECP. Smallangryplanet (talk) 08:53, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is there somesort of problem here? Moxy🍁 16:43, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Algebraic notation (chess) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Persistent vandalism. You'd think this would be an uncontroversial article, but for whatever reason, as soon as the page protection gets lifted the IP vandalism starts up again. Several times this has happened, protection for months, years even, then as soon as it's lifted the vandalism resumes. Request indefinite semi-protection. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 14:21, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• President of Georgia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: A pro-Russia user keeps editing the page and removing information about the disputed political situation. Theaang (talk) 17:51, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The consensus has been achieved on the Talk page of the article on the topic of whose picture should be added in the infobox one month ago. You can see here. Then, I said one month ago that I would wait for other users to express opinion too, after which the consensus has only solidified on the Talk page. Therefore, I have made the article in line with consensus, but have been overriden by IP user and the new account multiple times (1, 2, 3, 4)without any reasoning, ignoring Talk page discussion and consensus. Please, add the protection to the page so only extended-confirmed users can edit it for some time. Rutdam (talk) 18:34, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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

Create protection: Repeatedly recreated – Another attempt to recreate a page for JioStar despite the numerous discussions on the Disney Star page where there is no consensus to do so. This was done today by another SPI and been ongoing since November 2024. CNMall41 (talk) 18:32, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Short n' Sweet (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: IP vandalism CatchMe (talk · contribs) 19:25, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Edward Skeletrix (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – IP-hopper from Germany continually trying to add full name with no reliable sources. Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:28, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

• Kerbal Space Program (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

No protection: No longer necessary. 1250metersdeep (talk) 17:33, 14 February 2025 (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.

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