    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.

    Inter Miami CF

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – requesting semi-protection for the Inter Miami CF article due to a noticeable pattern of disruptive editing and promotional additions, particularly surrounding high-profile players like Lionel Messi and match coverage. While not strictly high-volume vandalism, there has been a recurring issue with new or unregistered editors making unsourced, speculative, or overly fan-driven changes, especially following match days or transfer rumors. This compromises article stability and requires frequent cleanup. Semi-protection would help ensure that edits come from more experienced contributors who are familiar with Wikipedia's content standards, while still allowing constructive editing through the edit request process.

    The Opposite of Sex

    Reason: A writer is publishing their political beliefs in the Critical Reception. It's not of the movie nor is the written perspective bottom-line truth. For instance, the feminist author referenced is noted for her brand of toxic feminism. Also, if we all down the road of political beliefs masked as critical reception, this movie could be flagged for on-going Hollywood views of southerns being dumb hicks, it's negative view of religion and/or those who follow one, etc. Maybe it's simply best to leave all those out. 174.127.159.17 (talk) 22:46, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Also, stop edit warring. The more likely outcome is if you continue to edit war, you will be blocked. --Hammersoft (talk) 02:42, 3 June 2025 (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 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
    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.

    Ranjith Ramasamy

    I would like to request protection for my page due to persistent vandalism and disruptive edits, particularly from anonymous users. The page has recently experienced malicious changes that appear to be targeted and coordinated, likely from individuals with a conflict of interest or intent to discredit.

    To maintain the integrity of the article and prevent further disruption, I kindly request that the page be fully protected. We request a copy of the usernames and associated details of the individuals who performed the recent edits. After consulting with our legal advisors, we are considering legal action. Additionally, we would like to request the removal of the last four edits to the page, as they negatively impact our credibility. Please let us know if you require any further information from our side.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter. Ranjithramasamy1 (talk) 10:15, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Legal threats are not allowed on wikipedia. Additionally this is in the wrong section. Also as per Wikipedia:Ownership of content and Wikipedia:COI you can't own your own page. GalStar (talk) 17:53, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
