Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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: Dear Wikipedia Administrators, I am writing to request protection for the Wikipedia page [Kundalpur Jain Temple (Bade Baba)] due to persistent vandalism and misinformation being added by certain individuals. The temple is a highly significant religious site for followers of the Digambar sect of Jainism, yet the page has repeatedly been altered with incorrect information, likely motivated by sectarian bias.
Nature of the Issue
1.Misinformation on Managing Body: The temple is managed by Shri Digambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Kundalpur Public Trust, but vandals have changed this to Shri Shwetambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Kundalpur Public Trust, which is factually incorrect.
2.Religious and Cultural Sensitivity: The temple holds immense importance for the Digambar Jain community. The repeated alterations appear to stem from hate or jealousy, which disrespects the faith and beliefs of millions.

Request for Protection
Given the sensitivity of the topic and the repeated vandalism, I kindly request:
1. Semi-protection: Restrict edits to registered and confirmed users.
2. Long-term protection: Given the likelihood of continued attempts at misinformation, I request protection for an extended period.
This will help ensure that the article maintains its accuracy and neutrality, in line with Wikipedia’s guidelines. Protecting this page would not only prevent further disruption but also respect the sentiments of the Jain community, particularly the Digambar sect.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if further details or evidence are needed.
Sincerely,

- Forgiving the format and length here, you do realize that you will be unable to edit the article if it gets semi-protected? Daniel Case (talk) 07:01, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Indefinite semi-protection. unconstructive edits. 50.100.44.204 (talk) 00:27, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: From January 13 to 19, IP submits statements without citations despite being reverted. Jellysandwich0 (talk) 12:38, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. I gave them their first warning. Newer users often don't realize why they're being reverted, or even that they are. Daniel Case (talk) 03:47, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Multiple IP link/reference removal. Possible disruptive edits are from an IP hopper. MysticCipher87(alt-account) (talk) 14:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. I have gotten to a level 2 warning with this user. We'll see what happens, and if we get past 4 we will block the /64. Daniel Case (talk) 03:49, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism, IP(s) have been warned multiple times about not adding unsourced false information and continues to add it. Multiple IPs have been adding it but I suspect they're the same person because it's all the same edit. Di (they-them) (talk) 15:02, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Frequent unilateral page moves. The title on this delete request is 2025 TikTok refugee crisis, someone moved the page to 2025 TikTok–REDnote migration and the talk page is Talk:2025 TikTok–REDnote mass migration. Queen Douglas DC-3 (talk) 05:08, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
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: This page has been fully protected from creation since 2007, which was a very long time ago. I don't know why it should have permanent full protection for almost 18 years, that's just overkill. Anyways I wanted to do something with this category, connect it with Category:State-sponsored terrorism, either as a super-category or at least a category redirect. So yes, may someone please unprotect this page? AHI-3000 (talk) 02:47, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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.
Add “by June 30, 2024” to the sentence: The Lancet has estimated 70,000 deaths due to traumatic injuries.[8] Seahumidity (talk) 23:09, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
I would like to request that... (the status section for the front page should be labeled as “ceasefire” until the ceasefire ends. This is in accordance with the recently-reached agreement.) . LordOfWalruses (talk) 04:55, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
In the fourth paragraph of the entry, it states "Various experts and human rights organizations have characterized the events in Gaza as genocide. A case accusing Israel of committing genocide is being reviewed by the International Court of Justice,...." This should be changed to "Various experts and human rights organizations have characterized the events in both Gaza and Israel as genocide. Cases accusing both Israel and Hamas of committing genocide is being reviewed by the International Court of Justice,..."
This change is supported by multiple references and necessary for balance, and neutral point of view.
The changes are fully suppoprted by numerous references including : https://archive.ph/2023.10.19-000330/https://docs.google.com/forms/d/ and https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20231103-israeli-families-bring-war-crime-complaint-to-icc-lawyer Apndrew (talk) 21:26, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
The following statement is misleading: "Torture and sexual violence were committed by Palestinian militant groups and Israeli forces". Sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7th was widespread and systematic. On the Israeli side there is one documented case. The statement on this Wikipedia page is not based on a direct source, but rather on a quote of quote of an Amnesty International document that doesn't go into specifics. This does not meet the conditions to make such a general claim about "Israeli sexual violence". Please check sources of this statement. 46.121.213.127 (talk) 01:31, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
