Requesting semi-protection or the same reasons as before - an anonymous IP pushing the POV that vampires exist without citing reputable sources. He is also inserting parenthetical comments about the article and the contributors, ''in'' the article and not on the talk page.

    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    Before requesting, read the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see the rough guide to extended confirmed protection)

    After a page has been protected, it is listed in the page history and logs with a short rationale, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins should not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

    Reason: Request semi-protection, regular IP vandalism of high profile BLP. Orange sticker (talk) 12:03, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs persisting in changing the name of the island back to its defunct old name. GraziePrego (talk) 12:53, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

    Question: What is the WP:COMMONNAME of the island? Lectonar (talk) 12:57, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated nonsense vandalism (quadruple-second cousin twice removed, etc.) from IP hopping user. MrOllie (talk) 13:45, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

    Lee Jung-jae

    Indefinite semi-protection: Violations of the biographies of living persons policy. Being the star of one of Netflix's biggest shows (and a massive meme), I believe this page should have indefinite semi-protection - or at the very least, long-term semi protection for at least 1 year, given that the third season of Squid Game is due to release later this year. jolielover♥talk 14:06, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

    Sam Husseini

    Reason: BLP who is getting recent attention for criticizing US support of the Israel-Hamas war during a press conference and being dragged out. There have been multiple IP vandalism attempts in the past 12 hours. 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 15:01, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

    This seems to be primarily coming from one IP who has not vandalized after their most recent warning. --Ahecht (TALK

    Trent Alexander-Arnold

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Frequent addition of unsourced speculation. Page was protected for a week but bad edits are continuing after protection expired. Wburrow (talk) 15:04, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

    Michelle Obama

    Reason: High level of racist vandalism. Spaceplaces (talk) 16:02, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

    İsmail Kartal

    Temporary semi-protection: The last couple days on this page look like a vandalism free-for-all. I'm not sure what's happening with this particular article, but counter-vandalism isn't winning. Perhaps a few days of protection until it passes?. Mlkj (talk) 20:27, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

    2024 Montenegrin municipal elections

    Reason: Request for new page protection: continuous unmotivated changes and acts of vandalism by unregistered users. Report already made in the past Podgoričano (talk) 20:35, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

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

    Shortcuts

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit 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 Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages: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.
