    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.

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. TornadoLGS (talk) 20:10, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Most of the recent disruptors have been blocked; there's been just one that hasn't and they might not do it again (if they do, we can add this article to their partial block). Daniel Case (talk) 23:31, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @TornadoLGS, Balthazarduju, and Daniel Case: There was some vandalism a week ago and the block is correct due to the personal attacks, but this is probably a content dispute at the end of the day because while some of the information in the edits are already in the article, they're currently unsourced and the IP edits are adding those sources. There's probably a better way to address this than just fully reverting everything ... Sdrqaz (talk) 23:54, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Marc Andreessen

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Having a problem with BLP violation content being repeatedly added by an IP address over the past week or so. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 23:20, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 02:39, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    this should be the otherway. the article clearly states that what he spread was false. if what he spread was false then he did spread misinformation about debanking. Jtbobwaysf has made persist changes that ofisgate the reality of it . first they tried to remove the entire reference to the events in question. they changed it to "shared his own experiences of " which also is not what the article says.The article says the information he said on debanking wasnt connected to reality and thats worth being mentioned.
    I can understand why it can be precieved to be a violation of neutral point of view but further evaluation will prove that that not to be the case. Marc Andreeseen went on joe rogan and claimed that the CFPB was involved in and responsible for debanking and under the personal unilateral perview of Senator Elizabeth warren. the CFPB has not be involved in debanking and Senator Elizabeth Warren does have unilateral control of the Consumer Finnance Protection Bureu. his claims are therefor just false. a neutral prespective would point out the flaws in his claims just like any other conspircy theory.
    if you were to say that "spread misinformation about debanking" is a non neutral prespective due to verbage there are other examples of wikiapedia entries in which that verbage is used for living people. take for example Nick Fuentes in his wikiapedia it says "Fuentes has frequently spread conspiracy theories and misinformation surrounding the FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccines" and proves a article from Salon. so its clear that this verbage is neutral by wikipedias standards. so if it stands for the Nick Fuentes wikiapedia what is difference from the Marc Andresen one. both have a repubable source, both state that the claims made were misinformation. the only difference to me seems to be that is Jtbobwaysf has a personal interest in Cryptospace related people and Marc Andreesen is a big proponent of Cyrptospace. which points to the crux of the issue a personal bias by that edtior to scrub the falsehoods of Marc Andreesens claims while keeping the reference to the joe rogan experience so that a curious mind might be inclined to watch it and believe the claims made by Andreesen.
    Thank you for your time and any considerations made after reading this. Jkm11 (talk) 06:47, 21 February 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.

    Tornado outbreak sequence of June 14–19, 2023

    Reason: This page is a very easy SOCK detection page; specifically WP:LTA/A5. All mass blankings have been reverted within a minute, and protection does help keep the page stable, however, there is a very clear SOCK-behavior going on it since August 2024. Brief protections do not work. I'm honestly requesting unprotection to help catch more of this LTA's accounts. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:51, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    This is just one of many many honeypots for this LTA; I wouldn't have protected it otherwise. Also, you're supposed to ask the protecting admin before making a request here (which is highlighted in bright yellow on this page).-- Ponyobons mots 22:01, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
