    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: Removing 'Zutt' portion of history by certain individuals + Vandalism. Ironborn392 (talk) 12:44, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – or maybe even permanent, since it's not unlikely that it's a returning editor attempting to push a pov. consarn (prison phone) (crime record) 14:46, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I agree that semi-protection seems warranted. There's a WP:LTA user whose current IP (97.112.197.204 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)) has been blocked, but who has used several different IP ranges in the past:

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection.!-- Template:RFPP#nact --> Just looking at the recent history, this was the first time this LTA has reared its head in over a year at least.

    It strikes me that blocking 97.112.192.0/19 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)) from the article indefinitely would be a better way of dealing with this LTA. If that is desired, I will do it. Daniel Case (talk) 10:38, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 97.112.192.0/18 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for a year. Upon further review, the /19 and /18 both have prior long sitewide blocks that justify taking this action. Daniel Case (talk) 10:45, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Users keep adding the September 2025 date, despite that date being from anonymous sources; the notes state not to add these dates as they are not officially confirmed by Metrolinx themselves. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:37, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Left CTOPS notice per WP:CT/HORN on talk. Daniel Case (talk) 11:13, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – repeated whitewashing of sourced material by IPs. Golikom (talk) 03:25, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Moderate level of IP vandalism removing specific relevant content no other edits by user. Farzeymedic (talk) 05:58, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Markiyan Kamysh

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – We have an editor with a bit more than 10 edits warring to include some peacock language, with some WP:EWLO behavior. Some of this material may be WP:DUE, but not in this form, I'm seeing minimal talk page engagement. Page protection looks like the lowest drama way to handle. I'd suggest that a month or so might be enough to let this blow over. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:25, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: VTrail (talk · contribs). 3-day partial block from the article in question. Obvious IP sock 217.11.34.220 sent off for a week. Favonian (talk) 09:51, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I propose to return the version of the article of March 19, 2025. On March 20, the methodical deletion of part of the article began. Without explanation or counterarguments, the article was blocked for editing. The deleted part of the article is completely consistent with the tone and presentation of the pages of Kazuo Ishiguro, Elena Ferrante, Ian McEwan and other writers. Are we dealing with a biased attitude towards the writer Markiyan Kamysh? Norton1666 (talk) 12:26, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Crazy World (Aslan song)

    Reason: A dynamic IP (yes, I know, I'm one too) keeps editing to add unsourced and almost certainly untrue content. 2001:BB6:4756:DF58:512A:4D7F:93B8:711A (talk) 09:54, 27 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.

    Unprotection: 14 years of protection with little vandalism or disruption. Thepharoah17 (talk) 23:34, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Black Kite: pinging protecting admin. Daniel Case (talk) 02:30, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected As he has not responded ... "14 years of protection with little vandalism or disruption" is, as noted in so many other declined requests of this nature, precisely the point of protecting the article. Daniel Case (talk) 11:19, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotection: Removal of PC only. Indefinitely semi-protected. (CC) Tbhotch™ 00:35, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm curious why? The normal mode should be (and I recall there's an improvement request about this) for lower-level protections to remain in place so they'll still be there after higher-level protections get removed. Currently the only protection that does this is PCP, but I understand it's in the works for other protections to remain in place when overridden by higher-level protections. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:57, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    +1 Remove pending changes: Keep the semi protection. But remove pending changes Protection as it is no longer necessary and is redundant. 70.53.89.38 (talk) 03:01, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Not done – The recent experiment with unprotection was not encouraging, but the PC should definitely be kept as a backstop for the next time a request is approved. Favonian (talk) 09:23, 27 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]
