    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.

    Template:Summer Olympics football men's tournament winners

    Reason: Edits by an unconfirmed user changing information that disagrees with WP:FOOTBALL, adding representations from Denmark in 1896 (demonstration) and 1904 (interspersed games) as Olympic champions. Svartner (talk) 05:27, 1 August 2024 (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 at 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.

    Candida hypersensitivity

    Reason: I am requesting the unprotection of the Wikipedia article on Candida hypersensitivity to allow for necessary updates and improvements. User @ScienceFlyer has restricted contributions from knowledgeable editors who can provide the latest scientific information on the topic. The article currently contains outdated information, and removing the protection will enable contributors to include accurate, peer-reviewed sources from reputable scientific journals and websites. This is essential for aligning the article with current scientific understanding.

    Furthermore, the current version may infringe upon the Digital Services Act (DSA), which emphasizes transparency and accountability in digital content. The DSA requires that platforms actively combat misinformation, especially in areas like health and science, to ensure users receive accurate and reliable information.

    Unprotection will also foster collaborative editing, allowing the community to address misinformation effectively and ensure compliance with the DSA’s requirements. This change will significantly enhance the article's credibility and usefulness. Thank you for considering this request to unprotect the page. 178.51.222.215 (talk) 06:51, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    This page was protected under the auspices of the pseudo- and fringe sciences contentious topic and cannot be unprotected at this venue; someone other than you would need to appeal at WP:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 07:05, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The current page "Candida hypersensitivity" contains scientific and medical misinformation. If this issue is not resolved within 48 hours, I will initiate a Digital Services Act (DSA) infringement procedure. 178.51.222.215 (talk) 10:40, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Is that a legal threat? I think it is. You may certainly 'initiate a Digital Services Act (DSA) infringement procedure' but you may not edit Wikipedia while you do so. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 11:09, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Blocked for a week. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 11:15, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. ~Anachronist (talk) 11:56, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Cebu, Cebu City, Lapu-Lapu City

    Reason: Highly abusive admin reverting content and adding back false information and mass protecting articles on municipalities in Cebu that they dont know anything about (Hiligaynon and Tagalog are NOT spoken in Cebu Province or any of its cities)

    Another proxy evading numerous blocks. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 11:05, 1 August 2024 (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.

    Brianna Wu

    In "Early life and education", the article says "In 2003 she enrolled at the University of Mississippi". The source for that paragraph as archived (https://archive.ph/ek0sE) states that she "dropped out for good in 2001".

    I suggest changing "In 2003 she enrolled..." to something like "She enrolled at the University of Mississippi, studying journalism and political science and writing for The Daily Mississippian, but left the school in 2001." Or of course, add a source for her enrolling in 2003. Elizabeth Internet (talk) 06:56, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Add "George and Junior" in the the programming section of Tom and Jerry, where it says, "including other MGM Cartoons such as Droopy, Barney Bear, and Screwball Squirrel". Mgmcartoonguy (talk) 04:34, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
