[edit]

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing (spam links, vandalism etc.) mixed in with some good faith IP edits. Protection log shows that disruption has been ongoing for many years, perhaps a case for long-term pending changes? Entranced98 (talk) 19:41, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Perhaps indefinite pending changes? I would wait for others to reply first. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:44, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 01:20, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Syrian civil war

[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – While this is a bit extraordinary, there are many unregistered/IP users who appear to be complaining about the map in their own section on the talk page, rendering the talk page very long and the conversation scattered. If the page could be protected, and users directed to the map discussion on Commons, I think this would effectively improve the encyclopedia and the maintenance thereof. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 19:44, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Carlos Lehder

[edit]

Reason: Hello. Given that this article has been the victim not only of sockpuppets but also a bone of contention who claim that one did this and the other that, avoiding good coexistence, teamwork and contributing to Wikipedia; I request through this message that the the block is only and exclusively for Extended confirmed users. With this we continue to avoid more problems, although I do not understand why you should delete editions with their sources just because it was done by a sockpuppet. Thank you.

Reason: User 'Http Iosue' is continually engaging in edit warring and reverting edits to remove any mention of the sexual assault allegations against former One True King member, Tectone, even after the page went under semi-protected mode. I would like to request assistance to deal with this user and undo the vandalism done to the One True King wikipage. Thank you.Mach9Wikia (talk) 00:28, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

This does not appear to be a request for page protection. If this is a dispute over what should be in the article, discuss it on the article talk page; the talk page is unprotected. Note that we must be very careful when adding information about living persons; it is not our job to spread allegations about people's lives. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:26, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Shortcuts

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.

[edit]

Reason:Article is in a poorly written state and barely gets meaningful contributions since it was last protected. No signs of disruptive editing for a long time either.Axedd (talk) 14:45, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

@Axedd: Is the long-term abuser that caused the article to be ECP'd still active on other articles? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:46, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
Last time this specific user was active was 4 years ago according to his case page. I believe another sock caused this page to locked over an year ago for edit warring, but they weren't solely interested in this particular page. Axedd (talk) 16:52, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
The case page is not a reliable indicator of if an LTA is active or not, especially if they're reveling in the attention. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 08:28, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
Pinging @Yamaguchi先生 --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 20:18, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
Thank you Axedd for being in touch and Jéské for the ping. Axedd, you are already able to edit this article in the currently protected state. For context, there have been over 18 different page protections applied over the years due to long term abuse, block evasion, and persistent disruption in general. In light of this, was there any specific reason that you're looking to see this page unprotected? Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 23:34, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Metaverse

[edit]

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because i believe that the metaverse is now less associated with crypto and the blockchain - especially after the rise of spatial computing. 67.209.128.24 (talk) 15:46, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Suggested action: Lower to WP:WHITELOCK/WP:PCPP to prevent disruptive editing from cryptospammers while still allowing for broader contribution from legitimate editors (especially IPs like me). Otherwise, if no cryptospam is expected, remove protection completely. 67.209.128.24 (talk) 15:51, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Special Operations Forces (Ukraine)

[edit]

Reason: I have submitted both to the talk page and to the administrator a well researched and sourced addition to this page pertaining to Ukrainian special forces fighting Russians in Syria and no one has answered me, therefore this page cannot be updated based on new information. (If anyone wants me to provide the information again please ask).

Downgrading this page to semi protection will still leave this page protected and will allow the page to be updated more.

I am actively monitoring this page and if someone consistently does vandalism to this page we can always revert it and ask to upgrade the protection again.

Thanks. Historyguy1138 (talk) 21:49, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

no Declined. Per WP:RUSUKR extended-confirmed protection is applied to articles in the topic area of the Russo-Ukrainian war. This falls within that area. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 23:22, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

[edit]
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
Shortcut

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.

Template:IPA pulmonic consonants/table

[edit]

This, I think, is the first time I've made a suggestion. Hopefully, I'm doing this correctly.

The lateral fricative voiced retroflex, as an example, has an IPA representation of ɖɭ˔ according to its Wikipedia page, but the IPA Pulmonic table and other tables use the Unicode representation in the table and any font I have found just doesn't handle that character,

Would it be better to use the IPA representation which I think many fonts handle since the table has 'IPA' in its title and its link points to the Wikipedia page with both representations? The linked article each cell in the table states that the representation the IPA version and that the Unicode character is implied from that.

I'd be happy to make a list of each table and cell where this occurs if that is necessary and you think these will be worthwhile changes. BLWBebopKid (talk) 19:51, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Pinging @Kwamikagami as they are likely to have some insight to these issues. For me personally, I'm not sure. I happen to have fonts installed that handle the extIPA symbols, but I'm in the stark minority there. Remsense ‥ 论 01:46, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
ExtIPA is IPA. It's just a specialized subset. For example, extIPA can be used in the 'Illustrations of the IPA' published in JIPA.
The issue is one of font support. The letters in question date to 2015, though they weren't added to Unicode until 2021. There are websites that list fonts that support various characters. These are supported by the SIL fonts, which are the best free IPA fonts available. If you don't have a good font installed, you're not going to be able to view IPA correctly anyway. That's why we have the IPA notice in articles, that you may need to install an IPA font to view the article properly. — kwami (talk) 05:32, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
