• Vegan Camp Out (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Multiple persistent extensive IP edits attempting to add biased wording, possibly for publicist/promotional purposes. Likely from someone close to the source.

Thank you RufusLechuga (talk) 08:52, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. No disruption in the last week. Please read the WP:Protection policy. Page protection is not about protecting your preferred version. BusterD (talk) 12:52, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Latest disruption was today, so definitely was within the last week. Language is clearly promotional ("one of the four very cheapest festivals in the UK" etc.) Not trying to protect a 'preferred version', just trying to uphold WP:NPOV RufusLechuga (talk) 13:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Mahabharat (2013 TV series) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Persistent IP vandalism, which are aslo sock evasion by an infamous sockmaster Kairakairav (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) who changes information and casting upto her own fancy. See, [1]Seyamar01 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 11:14, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked: 2402:8100:2600::/39 (talk · contribs). One-year partial block from the article in question. Favonian (talk) 14:53, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Human shield (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – This has been temporarily ECP'd before due to WP:ARBPIA violations, I think it makes sense to switch to indefinite protection because it continues to see NPOV violations. Smallangryplanet (talk) 11:38, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please also enforce as WP:GS/RUSUKR and WP:GS/SCW. IanDBeacon (talk) 13:05, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Star Sports (India) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Atleast 1 month, because there is a potential of high IP Vandalism this month on this Article. UNITED BLASTERS (talk) 12:35, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Bini (group) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Recurring vandalism by multiple IPs. Borgenland (talk) 12:52, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Kang Kek Iew (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Disruption from multiple IP addresses. JeffSpaceman (talk) 13:45, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Doodle Champion Island Games (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This article is constantly being reverted due to incorrect or vandalising IP edits. I don't know why this hasn't been requested before as this has been a consistant problem for a long time. CaptainGalaxy 13:47, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• KAI T-50 Golden Eagle (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Subject of a current news story after fatal crash. Needs to be protected from over-enthusiastic IP editors who are making too many errors. Spartathenian (talk) 14:05, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Body odor (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. A09|(talk) 14:56, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Gautam Adani (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP's keep adding non-notable relatives. One was blocked, but it hasn't stopped IP hopping. Nswix (talk) 15:09, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 15:14, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Draft:The antiquity history of Somalia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Hi, I request page protection due to high-temper disputes, continuous edits, and unverifiable claims being added to the page. Kagamid (talk) 15:13, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done I fixed your link. First of all, this is just a draft. Secondly, you are essentially the only editor to the page. The only other editor fixed "lint errors". If you feel like there are high-temper disputes, continuous edits, and unverifiable claims, then perhaps, you should stop editing the article. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 15:18, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gate count (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Aqurs1 (talk) 15:27, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Systems of government (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism. Moxy🍁 15:32, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Josh Schriver (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. FMSky (talk) 16:10, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) partially blocked: 2600:382:abe0::/45 (talk · contribs) (from Josh Schriver). --Ahecht (TALK

• Jace Norman (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary pending changes: BLP policy violations – I decided to request pending changes protection here, but it's borderline for a full semiprotection request. Was reviewing the series of edits during the last pending changes period and it appeared to have a moderately heavy level of reverts for vandalism, unsourced content and BLP violations during those two months. MPFitz1968 (talk) 16:15, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Kjersti Flaa (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: It's clear that pending changes protection is not enough. The article has recently been the focus of a YouTube video created by the subject, resulting in high levels of new user activity, most of which is unconstructive. Hemiauchenia (talk) 16:29, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• S. M. Kamrul Hassan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Semi-protection - Rash of new accounts readding copyright-violating material (either the text or image from Bangladesh's Armed Forces Division website). While I presume these are sockpuppets of MGBD (talk · contribs) based on behaviour, I would rather semi the page given his tendency towards being persistent. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 17:23, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 17:30, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/West Plaza (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP editor is closing multiple XfDs. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 17:43, 4 March 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.

• The Gulf of Mexico (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: It's The Gulf of America 2601:741:100:3BB0:5CB7:138A:CF76:B29B (talk) 15:12, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:23, 4 March 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.

• Skibidi Toilet (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I've noticed that in the section (Adaptations and licensing) where Garry Newman (creator of Garry's Mod) received DMCA notice, the year is written to be 2023 which i think it is incorrect since the notice happened in 2024. Mind someone fixing it? FILipKOSOfficial (talk) 15:35, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Would you have a reliable source for that? Lectonar (talk) 15:47, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
