- @Wilfredor: You can discuss the disagreement using the article talk page or their user talk page. If you can't come to consensus, then try dispute resolution. They started a talk page discussion on Talk:Racism in Quebec. In any case, this isn't obvious vandalism. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 01:46, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for increase in protection level

Indefinite extended protection: Arbitration Enforcement. falls within WP:ARBPIA5 as there is one of those main characters is a joke about bombing children in Gaza 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 11:08, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, ECP should be enforced. Italian brainrot is biased. 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk · contribs) 18:18, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – IP range (likely the same person) keeps on adding unsourced figures [4] [5] [6]. The article was protected for the very reason (along with IP socking) in the past, multiple times. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:02, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Every couple weeks, some IP editor comes in to remove that it is a conservative Never-Trump news site and call it leftist, Democrat, etc, despite reliable sourcing. Seems to be an ongoing issue that could use more indefinite protection. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 20:32, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Sustained level of vandalism, typically from IP's. The subject has gained online notoriety and too many repeated memes. Most commonly is adding a picture of an unrelated male worshipping figure as his lead image. Juwan (talk) 21:22, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]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.
Reason: This protection is no longer necessary because this article has no IP edits for over a year ago, and this type of protection is stale. Plus, there has not been any vandalism in over couple years. 205.155.225.249 (talk) 19:01, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
No IP edits for over a year ago
is self-evident given it's semi-protected. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 20:21, 28 April 2025 (UTC)- Is one year enough to unprotect? 205.155.225.249 (talk) 20:22, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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.

"Do you want to take a survey?"
[edit]On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.
On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.
Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.
