    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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Several IP/new editors adding unsourced and speculative info relating to a potential team lineup swap. While these are likely in good faith, there is specifically an invis note to prevent this, which does not seem to be working. GalacticVelocity08 (talk) 23:08, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Accidentally published this before I saw this request: subject is involved in a widely speculated mid-season transfer to a leading Formula One team, resulting in a lot of disruptive editing. Requesting semi-protection until 6 April (next Grand Prix date). MB2437 02:58, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Co-signed. There's a flag at the top of the page reminding editors of WP:SPORTSTRANS but it's routinely being ignored. Namelessposter (talk) 06:35, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I also added a hidden note not to change the team, but it was also ignored. The Seal F1 (talk) 06:39, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

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

    Reason: Page has been protected since 2008, very little to no history of vandalism since then. I think we can at least try to downgrade to pending-changes Filmssssssssssss (talk) 03:18, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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
    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 Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia: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.

    Amazon (company)

    There are citations needed for the section "For the fiscal year 2021, Amazon reported earnings of US$33.36 billion, with an annual revenue of US$469.82 billion, an increase of 21.7% over the previous fiscal cycle. Since 2007 sales increased from 14.835 billion to 469.822 billion, due to continued business expansion.[citation needed]"

    I have found three references from bloggingwizard, investing.com and wallstreetnumbers.com that back those claims but I don't have permissions to add them.

    For some reason I can't add full URLs here because I get a "spamblacklist" but happy to share. Joanfihu (talk) 15:43, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Investing.com is locally blacklisted. The other two don't seem to be on the local or global blacklists. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:14, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
