    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.

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry attack. Vbbanaz05 (talk) 12:25, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Isabelle Belato 13:43, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

    FetLife

    Reason: There have been numerous cases of soapboxing and vandalism by IP addresses, many of which have no edit history other than warring on this article, and at least one single-purpose user account - this has occurred on a monthly basis since last September, when 2 such incidents occurred, in addition to last May, several times in 2023 and a significant edit war in June 2022. Due to the relatively niche nature of the article's subject, I would suggest WP:PCPP or WP:SEMI at most, so as not to exclude too many editors from participating.

    Nazi Lowriders

    Indefinite pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – This page has been subject to persistent disruptive editing by IP users. Editing has been to the entire page, removing all existing sources and replacing it with something entirely unsourced. This has been ongoing and the page has had protection temporarily as a result. As the page protection expires, the disruption resumes. Unfortunately, it may need to be protected for an indefinite period, and for that reason, I am requesting pending changes protection be considered. ButlerBlog (talk) 13:07, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

    UnitedHealth Group

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism by IP editors. Since the new year, there have been 17 edits (10 by IPs and 7 by registered editors). Of these, 7 are egregious IP vandalism; 2 are IPs reverting IP vandalism; 1 is a marginally constructive IP edit (a wikilink); 5 are registered editors undoing IP vandalism; 1 is a registered editor undoing a good-faith mistake by an IP editor; and 1 is a registered editor fixing a small grammar mistake. Thus, in the past 12 days, 82% of edits solely exist as or because of IP vandalism. It's obvious this will continue to be a contentious subject. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 14:58, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

    Stellar Blade

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Multiple IPs, namely User:88.119.97.119, User:176.169.151.71, and User:80.209.65.84 keep adding Maciej Nowicki as married to Eve, which is based on a meme. Heythereimaguy (talk) 15:13, 12 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.

    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.

    Lodhi (caste)

    although they have no account of their Rajput origin or prevailing Rajput traditions.

    They have there Rajput tiers as Maharani Avantibai Lodhi (16 August 1831 – 20 March 1858) was a queen-ruler and freedom fighter. She was the queen of the Ramgarh (present-day Dindori) in Madhya Pradesh. An opponent of the British East India Company during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, information concerning her is sparse and mostly comes from folklore. In 21st century, she has been used as a political icon in Lodhi community. Siddharthaavermaaa (talk) 10:39, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

    Not done – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Lodhi (caste) is not protected. Remember to include reliable sources for your claim. Favonian (talk) 10:46, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
