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.

Canada–India diplomatic row

Reason: Per Cremastra (uc) 01:31, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

@Cremastra: Even for consensus changes like this, please try to contact the protecting administrator to request unprotection first. Thanks! @Black Kite: Any objections to lifting the protection? Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:52, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
Okay, thanks. Cremastra (uc) 12:20, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Aaj Tak

Reason: All editors agreed that whatever we put on this page will only be edited once everyone reviews it. AnuragBisht108 (talk) 04:27, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

@AnuragBisht108: Where is this consensus? I see no such agreement on Talk:Aaj Tak. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v 05:16, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Note that the user making this request had been previously been blocked for 31 hours for edit warring and 8RR on the same subject in what some editors suspect may be a case of whitewashing and COI as noted on their talk page and in the article in question, and that they have a sockpuppet account linked to them (User:AnuBisht21) that was used to edit the article and was the very reason why this article was protected in the first place. That the reason they claim is also not supported in talk also raises questions as to user's intentions.

Not done There is no such consensus; the requesting editor is the reason for the page protection and should think carefully about their future involvement with the page. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 17:02, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
If anything, this is an argument to increase protection to extended-confirmed from semi.  Requesting immediate archiving...Jéské Couriano v^_^v 17:07, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
