Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Ban evasion by User:Hawthorne 41. Binksternet (talk) 07:15, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined No edits in 4 days and the IPs seem to be reverting themselves so it’s not clear why I should care. * Pppery * _{it has begun…} 20:27, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Contentious topic. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 07:43, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined “Jewish” =/= “Israel”, and even if it did, topics do not fall under WP:ARBPIA simply for being related to Israel. – The Bushranger _{One ping only} 19:04, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Constant addition of unsourced content/content sourced to deprecated sources. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 09:07, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: High level of IP vandalism as soon as the protection revoked. Capankajsmilyo (talk) 09:54, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article’s talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Three edits is not a ‘high level of IP vandaklism’, in addition to the fact that the IP edits are not vandalism. – The Bushranger _{One ping only} 19:01, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. The article keeps being changed by anonymous users putting in fake companies like Red Rocket Entertainment or Vissy Entertainment, Inc. Please, have this page protected. Thank you. XyloQuip289 (talk) 16:39, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Vandalism. Please increase it to ‘Pending changes protection.” 2409:40F4:215D:659F:7052:58FF:FE12:7264 (talk) 17:09, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Article was already on the page elsewhere, and has been ECP for one week. – The Bushranger _{One ping only} 18:58, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: High level of IP vandalism, possible sock evasion by blocked user Kairakairav (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Seyamar^💬📜 17:26, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked. * Pppery * _{it has begun…} 20:35, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Remsense 🌈 论 18:10, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked: Underwatermann (talk · contribs). Favonian (talk) 18:19, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Repeated politically biased vandalised editing using dead links, poor quality or biased sources. Shanah5782 (talk) 18:13, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article’s talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. * Pppery * _{it has begun…} 20:36, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An IP address keeps making portions of the page passed tense, when they should still be present tense. here and here. Ktkvtsh (talk) 18:35, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. As ‘multiple edits with no edits by other editors in between’ count as ‘one revert’, the IP has made, funtionally, one edit to the page – that nobody has reverted. This is nowhere near the required level of disruption for protection. – The Bushranger _{One ping only} 18:46, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok noted. Thanks. Ktkvtsh (talk) 18:48, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Level of IP Vandalism. Currently a candidate in the Tanzanian General Election. Expecting further edits as election day gets closer. Sputink (talk) 18:55, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 19:06, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Extend-confirm protection Article relating to the Russo-Ukrainian war 2600:4040:2821:D500:FDD8:F7EC:1FDC:5D3B (talk) 19:15, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Not closely-enough related for me. * Pppery * _{it has begun…} 20:37, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism has picked up over the last few days, and has risen to a high enough level that I think would warrant PP, also a case that required oversight. Squawk7700 (talk) 19:24, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Inappropriate use of user talk page while blocked. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 19:48, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Taking Out The Trash It would look like WP:TPA would be better here, perhaps, instead of indefinite semi-protection? Staraction (talk | contribs) 19:51, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) re-blocked with talk page editing disallowed. Favonian (talk) 21:29, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive additions to the plot summary (which should be 400 to 700 words per WP:FILMPLOT) by an Oregon-based dynamic IP. sjones23 (talk – contributions) 19:50, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Restore lost indefinite semi-protection: I request El C’s indefinite WP:SEMI protection from 2021 to be restored, which was lost when temporary WP:FULL protection was applied in the wake of the subject’s assassination last month. This is a high-profile WP:BLP article of a controversial political figure; the current six-month semi-protection regime will not stem the tide of vandalism/disruption in the long term. When permanent protection is placed, it’s usually for a reason. Giovanni Potage (talk) 20:15, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

May also qualify under Wikipedia:Contentious topics/American politics. Staraction (talk | contribs) 20:17, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article is indefinitely extended-confirmed protected since a week ago.–Ymblanter (talk) 21:50, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You’re incorrect, the page was given a month-long extended-confirmed protection by ScottishFinnishRadish back in September, which expired little over a week ago. The current protection is a six-month long semi-protection regime imposed by Protection Helper Bot. I am requesting the restoration of El C’s indef semi-prot from 2021. Giovanni Potage (talk) 22:06, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent sock puppetry and vandalism continuing after recent expiration of protection. ~ Rusty ^meow ~ 20:58, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 21:49, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: I’m not really sure if this is the right course of action (it was recommended to me that I come here), and I’ve never requested page protection before so I am not sure what format to give this, but on this page at the top of the infobox is the emblem of the president. I have tried to change it to a more appropriate symbol (currently it is the presidential emblem (see: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10508961), which you can see used on the website (https://www.president.go.kr/) among other materials). However I am concerned that various IP addresses have been changing it back to this symbol: File:Seal of the President of the Republic of Korea.svg. While the symbol looks official it is not used extensively by the president and it is not the actual seal (that is this: File:Seal of the President of South Korea.svg), and it is only a decorative symbol used in some parts of the presidential building (such as on podiums). I have tried to change the page accordingly, but it keeps getting reverted for erroneous reasons by IP addresses. notadev (talk) 21:37, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I should note, the reason that I think protection would be good is so it can actually be discussed on the talk page instead of edit-warring. No one has engaged with my entry on the talk page yet. notadev (talk) 21:43, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
