Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Increase: Difference between revisions

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: Requesting permanent extended confirmed protection. A highly contentious article, falling under multiple sanctions such as WP:CT/IRP, WP:CT/KURD, WP:CT/A-I. Some vandalism and disruptive editing taking place. Ecrusized (talk) 21:02, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The first two CTOPs do not have an extended confirmed restriction. Only tiny parts of this article are related to Israel, and none directly related to the conflict. Thus, I don’t think this is eligible for ECP by default and there isn’t enough disruption otherwise to justify protection. Toadspike [Talk] 21:11, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Toadspike: Note that WP:GS/KURD does impose an extended confirnmed restriction. I don’t think the article falls under it, but noting that for the record. – The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:02, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, yep, I spent a few months away from RfPP and promptly forgot about that lovely quirk of our bureaucracy… Toadspike [Talk] 04:21, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:57, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite move protection: No good reason to ever exist. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 05:00, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with you on that. Additionally, should probably be create protected as well because trolls will probably create that page for some reason and like you said, no good reason to ever exist. DetectiveClarinet15 (talk) 05:24, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Anon editors are adding fake dates for when countries introduced color television, and without a source. Basically falls under either WP:NOR or Vandalism or both.

I once rolled back the page to the last good version and one of the culprits got mad and went on my talk page (it was because I removed the “subdivisions” section but it made the page look cluttered anyway) CD967119 (talk) 05:33, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by Temp Account who refuses to WP:ENGAGE. Multiple templates broken, massive WP:OVERLINKING and various other issues. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 05:44, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
