It is important to note that the editor considers himself the "Protector of Haq (Truth)." Thus, it will be prudent to protect this page on temporarily basis if not on indefinite basis before situation gets out of hand and drive each and every editor who will get involved to reinvent the wheel again.

Apologies, I posted this question earlier and can't find where I posted to read any answers. I'm not even sure it was on this page.

::*Thanks for the ping Katie. The draft remains promotional in tone, and doesn't provide strong evidence that this firm is actually notable: the Wall Street Journal article is a lightweight piece, and the NY Times article is about a brand of whisky and only briefly mentions this company's role in promoting it. The other sources don't look high quality - the Ad Week story is basically a press release, for instance. Given that there have been repeated attempts to create an article on this firm and this article isn't up to scratch I don't think it would be a good idea to remove the protection. ] (]) 08:46, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

    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.

    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

    Talk:Bed Bath & Beyond (online retailer)

    Unprotection: to match article move per RM. Frost 14:13, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

     Done – talk page moved to correct location. Favonian (talk) 14:24, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

    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.

    Skibidi Toilet

    The whole page is just incorrect. This is an indie animation series and not a meme. Maybe it was a meme 2 years ago but now it is a proper animation series with a deep storyline and intricate details. If you don't believe me, watch one of the newer episodes. The evidence is there. Do research and fix this page and show how it is a proper series which it is instead of lying by saying it's a dumb meme. I know a lot about this series and I know what I'm talking about. Do your research and watch one of the newer episodes. Aeraxe (talk) 08:08, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

    @Aeraxe: We couldn't cite those episodes as sources. What we would need is professional reviews of the animation series in order to cover it in that regard. (Or, to use another popular series with about the same status as Skibidi Toilet, see WP:BFDI; much of what applies there would apply to Skibidi Toilet as an animation series.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v 08:17, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
    Declined See above, also not an edit request as such. Lectonar (talk) 12:21, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
