Eurovision Wiki:Requests for page protection
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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 remove obvious vandalism.
Request addition of protection to a page, or increasing the current protection level
Request removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level
Request a specific edit be made to a protected page
Please add an edit request to the talk page of the protected page before adding an edit request here | ||
Current requests for increase in protection level
Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – User keeps making unsourced change to article despite multiple asks from different people to add sources for claim. Their edits also often break page code. grapesurgeon (talk) 14:01, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- User issued a final warning. Yue🌙 (talk) 01:37, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
User(s) blocked. Yue🌙 (talk) 07:36, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. EaglesFan37 (talk) 17:11, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- It's only one TA, I'm more inclined to block them than semiprotect. I gave a 3RR warning. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:14, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Lectonar (talk) 10:56, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. BOVINEBOY2008 08:51, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 10:57, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Bastup3 (talk) 09:17, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
- Declined I don't think we're at the stage of protecting just yet. As a first suggestion, revert all of the recent IP edits and see if anything happens, if POV pushing re-occurs, report on WP:ANI Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:37, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
Reason: Request indefinite semi-protection. Long-term content dispute involving the Best-known for IP (who is community banned and hence shouldn't be editing on Wikipedia full stop). See the talk page for disputes over trivial details which stretch back at least fifteen years Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:08, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent disruption by TA hopper. FDW777 (talk) 10:15, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:34, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
Before posting a request for unprotection, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.
To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.
DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...
- ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
- If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
- If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
- ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
- ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
- ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.
You may request a protection reduction below if...
- ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
- ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
- ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
- ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.
If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.
Indefinite full protection. Alfie (talk) 07:26, 19 March 2026 (EDT)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please add an edit request to the talk page of the protected page before adding an edit request here
Requests for specific edits should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from adding a request there.
- You may add the appropriate template (
{{Edit protected}},{{Edit template-protected}},{{Edit extended-protected}}, or{{Edit semi-protected}}) to the article's talk page if you would like to request an edit be made. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed. - For edit requests being made due to the editor having a conflict of interest with the article subject (see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}template should be used instead of the others listed above. - Requests to move pages that are currently move-protected should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not on this page.
- This page is not for holding discussions regarding content. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit that you wish to be performed.
Otherwise, this is the correct place to use in order to add an edit request if you are unable to add one to the article's talk page. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to properly add a request.
In the infobox, change:
- 90 naval vessels sunk or damaged[1][lower-alpha 1]
to
The explanatory note only includes the sinking of IRIS Dena, which was near the totality of naval losses a week ago but the claimed losses have now substantially expanded. This would also bring the treatment of naval losses much more in line with aviation losses.
An alternate (in my opinion uglier) option would be:
- ↑ 104 sailors killed, 32 injured off the coast of Sri Lanka.[2]

Remove the (WIA) for the infobox under Mojtaba Khamenei. Although there is much speculation he is dead or wounded, there is no reliable confirmation on this. Mrwho995 (talk) 00:47, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
Change 'The United States has funded 70% of the total costs of the Gaza war since October 2023.' to 'The United States has funded 70% of the total costs of the Gaza war since October 2023. [citation needed].'
This is a significant quantitative claim that currently lacks an inline citation (WP:V). Tazekial (talk) 23:31, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

I noticed in the Iraq section of the page some details of the Kuwaiti Friendly Fire incident and closure of the United States Embassy of Kuwait is still there, please remove that and put it in the appropriate section GeronimokuwaitGamws (talk) 06:38, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
A senior Iranian intelligence official, speaking exclusively to a Press TV correspondent, has revealed detailed estimates of damage inflicted on the American military in the region during the first seven days of the ongoing war.
According to the official, extra-regional sources provided Iran with a comprehensive assessment of American losses – both human and material losses from the Iranian retaliatory military operations since February 28.
The main finding indicates a critical depletion of air defense stockpiles for both the United States and the Israeli regime, a development described as "very serious" by the official.
The intelligence further details substantial casualties, reporting that at least 200 US military personnel were killed, with over 3,000 wounded in the first week itself. ~2026-17227-93 (talk) 09:31, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
Not done – An intelligence official from one of the combatant countries is hardly a reliable source and in any case, a verifiable reference would be required. Favonian (talk) 10:18, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
