”’Indefinite extended confirmed protection:”’ [[WP:30/500|Arbitration enforcement]] – [[WP:CT/PIA]]. [[User:Isi96|Isi96]] ([[User talk:Isi96|talk]]) 01:07, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

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.

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Requesting ECP as per Wikipedia:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict decision. The promenade is a known “hot-spot” for violent incidents between Palestinians and Israelis, as exemplified by it being the location of the 2017 Jerusalem truck attack. – Otherwise (Talk?) 06:51, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 21:10, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Concur that this is a case where only *part* of the article falls under PIA, and thus only those parts that do are subject to ECR. – The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:32, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with The Bushranger. The topic’s connection to the conflict seems incidental rather than inherent, and I don’t see prior disruption otherwise warranting protection. Left guide (talk) 01:09, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated non-neutral attempts to emphasize one nation (Bangladesh), though it’s already given due weight. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:04, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article’s talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 21:13, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite move protection: No longer protected when recently revived. Move-protection was placed (especially to enforce the DRV results) months before the draft was deleted months ago per WP:G13. George Ho (talk) 09:35, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined but courtesy ping Star Mississippi. The draft was protected almost a year ago, although the user who wanted it restored does not appear to have ever tried to move it back to mainspace against consensus, and is now indeffed. Protection does not seem to be necessary. Reposting comment which I also placed in the wrong section inadvertently. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 22:00, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Repeated IP POV edits – WP:GS/AA does not allow non-EC users to edit in this area AntonSamuel (talk) 11:32, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

So I was going to decline this on the grounds that GS/AA only prohibits non-XC (not EC, that’s “edit conflict”) editors from editing pages related to Politics, ethnic relations, and conflicts involving Armenia, Azerbaijan, or both, and a stub about an abanbdoned Armenian village doesn’t fit any of those. Theeeeen I checked the edit history and the TA edits that spurred this request were, in fact, directly related to Armenia vs Azeribajian.

[edit]

Arbitration Enforcement: The two articles fall under WP:CT/IMH, as they concern a major historical paramilitary figure and a genocide carried out by paramilitary Hindutva organizations, respectively. As such, both articles should be indefinitely extended confirmed page-protected. — EarthDude (Talk) 12:11, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. * Pppery * _{it has begun…} 01:03, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Constant Vandalism. Movie was released today. Toast1454_T_C 15:48, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Actually try PC. Lots of constructive edits from non-confirmed users. Toast1454_T_C 15:49, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – edit rate is too high for PC, and the disruptive edits seem to be well under control by ClueBot and other page watchers. Protection is likely to cause too much collateral harm here. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 21:36, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Persistent addition of unsourced content and removal of sourced info on a controversial BLP of a YouTuber. Unlikely to subside as can be in the article history and the Talk page. Gotitbro (talk) 16:57, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There was one unsuitable POV edit that snuck through for about a month before you caught it, but otherwise vandalism to the article seems to be infrequent and well managed without protection. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 21:41, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 18:24, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Two edits by the same user, and they seem to have listened to the warnings they were given. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 22:03, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝 𝙴𝚙𝚒𝚙𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚢👁👄👁 (talk) 19:09, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The most recent edit was 10 days ago, and the latest edit flagged as disruptive was in November. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 22:08, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Template:Current events/edit link is used in Template:Editnotices/Page/Portal:Current events and Template:Editnotices/Page/Portal talk:Current events, so it’s highly visible (Portal:Current events is linked in the sidebar), but I think that template-protection is too high. —⁠andrybak (talk) 19:57, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. The template appears to have a total of four transclusions, which I agree does not qualify it for template protection. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 22:17, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Persistent IP vandalism. FranéRogoz (talk) 20:14, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – sock blocked, I think that ought to settle it for now. Please ping me if another account turns up. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 22:18, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Given the new Epstein files accuse him of strangling a girl to death and a TA has already tried to add that. relevant file. Laura240406 (talk) 20:19, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – suffice to say, Mr. Leach is not a living person, and the information added has a source though it may not be ideal. This ultimately is a content dispute, and should be settled on the talk page. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 22:21, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Edit warring. ~2026-67158-8 (talk) 20:29, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined No evidence of edit warring; requester blocked for sockpuppetry. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 22:26, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Constant vandalism and racist remarks. DPRKBEST (talk) 23:34, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:57, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Persistent promotional edit warring by IPs Nyraxis (talk) 23:58, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Already protected by administrator Anachronist. * Pppery * _{it has begun…} 01:05, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protected. Left guide (talk) 01:02, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry and edit warring. – LuniZunie_(talk) 00:31, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: I continuously edit my user page and would prefer that only I edit it. I’m a relatively new editor – still learning the culture – and didn’t know that user pages are openly editable until my page was recently edited. I understand the talk page being editable of course, but I would really like to have my user page semi-protected if possible. EducationMatters420 (talk) 00:36, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined All user pages are implicitly semiprotected by Special:AbuseFilter/803. * Pppery * _{it has begun…} 01:04, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. sjones23 (talk – contributions) 00:41, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. * Pppery * _{it has begun…} 01:06, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:CT/PIA. Isi96 (talk) 01:07, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
