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.

Reason: Page has been subject to glacially slow edit-warring against consensus by an IP user/temporary account for nearly two years, which has heated up in the last few days. All attempts at communication have failed, and they have made no indication that they will stop edit warring. Some kind of several-year long semi-protection would be ideal. Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:28, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I’d suggest discussing the issue on the talk page as a starting point. – Aoidh (talk) 21:13, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – A person is using this page as a WP:COATRACK with information unrelated to this BLP. Tbhotch^™ (CC BY-SA 4.0) 23:18, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked: ~2025-35427-09 (talk · contribs) blocked by Izno. indefinitely. Daniel Case (talk) 21:30, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Binksternet (talk) 23:38, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked: ~2025-35165-30 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for 72 hours. While this is justified because the user was reverting multiple editors, I do want to say that this is regrettable because WP:FALSETITLE is a) not part of the MOS (which explicitly declines to take a position on this matter) whatever too many editors seem to be thinking, in fact it is just one editor’s essay and b) I really consider this to be one of the most neurotic stylistic tics that, when followed as slavishly and religiously as that page would have us do it (outside of the “Clarity” section), makes English prose needlessly wordy and stilted. So, really, guys, it should never have been the subject of this edit war. Daniel Case (talk) 21:41, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated non-constructive edits that have broken the page in multiple ways. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 04:21, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked: Boath City (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. indef, on username grounds. Daniel Case (talk) 21:08, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Prevent edit war and keep authentic info only ~2025-35366-12 (talk) 08:32, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. As the article is also up for deletion and consensus seems headed towards redirectification, with minimal if any disruption apparent I am loathe to protect as that might keep someone from saving the article. Daniel Case (talk) 21:04, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Persistent ip vandalism Iranian112 (talk) 12:43, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Iranian112: The edits by temporary accounts you were reverting are not vandalism, and you are in violation of WP:3RR. Given you both are, I’ve opted to lock the page instead of blocking you, so you can discsuss the disputed content on the article talk page. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:00, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Disruptive editing – Genre-warring resumed after page protection was lifted. HorrorLover555 (talk) 14:11, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article’s talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. @HorrorLover555: in this case, the genre-warrior is half right: their removal of the unsourced “alternative rock” genre from the infobox puts the WP:ONUS on you to establish why it should be retained through discussion on the article talk page (or simply in providing an inline source). – The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:04, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Repeated vandalism by unknown users Heymikky (talk) 14:16, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There appear to be a good number of constructive changes by unregistered users, while at the same time there is unambigious vandalism ongoing. PC for a month seems like it may be a good setting in that case. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:55, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Contentious topic restriction and repeated IP vandalism. Anbarasan1523 (talk) 16:49, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Just the one burst today that you have reverted. And really, if you’re going to call this vandalism, you should at least have considered warning them first. When it’s one user doing all the bad or purportedly bad things, that often is the more direct approach than asking for an admin to throw a huge blanket over the article. Daniel Case (talk) 20:05, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Anbarasan1523: Furthermore, this doesn’t fall under one of the subsections of WP:CT/SA that is under ECR, and WP:CT/RNE does not impose ECR either. – The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:05, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: , No it’s not just the one burst. Just a week ago, similar IP vandalism happened two times.1 2 I don’t usually warn other users because they abuse me verbally. It’s the responsibility of administrators to send notices for the respective users. @The Bushranger: This election involves political parties, and Wikipedia:Contentious topics/South Asia reads social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal Anbarasan1523 (talk) 00:47, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I read that as the parties fall under GSCASTE, but elections do not, but I can see the wriggle-room there. – The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:01, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Persistent vandalism by autoconfirmed/IP users over the last few months. DudeJay17 (talk) 18:34, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. No edits in 12 days. Daniel Case (talk) 21:16, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: There’s been ongoing vandalism on this page for weeks, by IP user(s) removing Greek as a language of Calabria and replacing it with Turkish. Based2134 (talk) 20:33, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article’s talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Dennis Brown – 2¢ 22:45, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Repeated anonymous WP:CFORKs of Itsy Bitsy Spider. Wikishovel (talk) 22:30, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Previous IP is blocked, not much in the last two weeks otherwise. Dennis Brown – 2¢ 22:38, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:ARBPIA. Isi96 (talk) 22:38, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Not all pages related to Israel fall under the “Arab-Israeli Conflict” scope of ARBPIA. – The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:49, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – TAs edit-warring to add “Italian” against consensus and to remove the note telling them not to do so. Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 22:41, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User(s) blocked: ~2025-31377-61 (talk · contribs). as they are the only user currently edit-warring in this manner. If they hop to another TA to continue, please re-request. – The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:46, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Frequent vandalism from unregistered users over the last few days, requesting semi-protection PublicityVote (talk) 23:28, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done @PublicityVote: this article has, in fact, never been vandalized. You and the unregistered editor (by appearances, there is only one) are in a content dispute over the photograph in the infobox and the precise location of the palace. This is not vandalism, and in fact referring to good-faith edits (which these are) as vandalism can be considered a personal attack on the other editor. You and the other editor should discuss the disputed content at the article talk page to come to a consensus as to which picture, and wording, to use. – The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:46, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Persistent IP vandalism. User:Toadspike, if you can install a page protection again, thanks. These people… My goodness, they vandalized the page 5 hours after the page protection was deactivated.9mm.trilla (talk) 23:29, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Sockpuppet continue harassment + vandalism. Hiyuune (talk) 23:52, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Sugar Tax (talk) 23:57, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:05, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – Target of WP:MOVEVANDAL by an LTA. ~delta ^{(talk • cont)} 23:59, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
