• M. S. Ramachandra Rao (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: BLP policy violations – This article has been edited by three users who say they are respectively the subject of the article and two of his colleagues. they have added unsourced information, and four times this month they have added copyrighted information which has been or is being revdelled. The article has been raised at CoIN and there is discussion on the article's Talk page and on the user pages of the three accounts. We don't seem to be getting anywhere, so I would be grateful if page protection could be considered. Thanks. Tacyarg (talk) 20:42, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Sockpuppet investigation opened — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:14, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Let's defer to that for now. Daniel Case (talk) 21:34, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Ali Javadi (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Karl 334 ^{Talk--Contribs} 21:08, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined This article does not need to be protected. As an unreferenced BLP, it needs to be deleted. I will therefore be prodding it when I'm done here. Daniel Case (talk) 21:49, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Chikki Panday (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – incorrect information being added and vandalism. - FitIndia ^{Talk (Admin on Commons)} 21:10, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Left CTOPS notice on talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 21:58, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Department of Government Efficiency (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection: This article has been previously temporarily protected. This article is on the Department of Government Efficiency, a highly controversial subject in the United States -- it should be semi-protected. AnonymousScholar49 (talk) 21:29, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. And that's close to an argument for pre-emptive protection. Daniel Case (talk) 22:00, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Johor Darul Ta'zim F.C. (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Persistent IP vandalism BlameRuiner (talk) 21:46, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 22:46, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• 1864 United States presidential election (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

• Superman (2025 film) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated unhelpful IP edits. Trailblazer101 (talk) 23:06, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• User talk:Chetsford (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: There's currently a dedicated campaign to "dox and desysop" [sic] me being run on flying saucer fan sites due to my nomination of Harald Malmgren at AfD. This has spilled over to my Talk page and, while many of the threats and insults are actually quite creative and I enjoy reading them, I'm going to be OOT for a few days and am worried about a backlog when I return. Plus, a lot of well-meaning (but unsolicited) good samaritans are reverting many of them which requires extra time and effort. I'm, therefore, hoping for a week or so of semi-protection, if possible. Thanks. Chetsford (talk) 23:31, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Feel free to reduce the protection level early if you'd like. Isabelle Belato ^🏳‍🌈 23:48, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Joe Cocker (album) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Edit-warring, multiple IPs from Greater Washington DC. Block evasion by Special:Contributions/70.183.0.0/21 and Special:Contributions/198.24.31.113. Continuing the disruption of Special:Contributions/2600:4040:207B:A700:B1B4:8050:CBC:99F, Special:Contributions/2600:4040:2885:5C00:59F9:1294:DD2E:BF2, Special:Contributions/50.144.192.106, Special:Contributions/98.160.51.12, Special:Contributions/198.24.31.86 and Special:Contributions/198.24.21.128.

• List of all-time NBA win–loss records (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Last year, I requested protection (see further discussion here); that request was ultimately denied and I let it go, believing that yes, they were frustrating edits, but that it would be better to err on the side of assuming good faith. However, once again an IP editor (from a newly-used IP) has made disruptive edits:

• Removed references
• Removed references without explanation
• Adding information that is blatantly inaccurate (i.e. "end of the 2025 NBA playoffs" wouldn't occur until June)

Recently, other IP editors have just simply caused more work to be done through edits that have:

• switched a cropped image to the uncropped version
• caused baffling grammatical errors (i.e. "marking their first [season] as..." -> "marking their name [season] as")

Also, even before the massive amounts of IP edits that have been made since 2024, there has historically been vandalizing by IP editors on this page across several years; examples include: 2017 (1); 2018 (2); 2019 (4, 5); 2022 (6, 7); 2023 (8). The nature of this list being the win-loss records of NBA teams probably attracts some NBA fans to inflate or deflate a team's win-loss record based on their feelings about that team, which is something I've seen over on the analogous NFL list from my time editing that one.

I previously nominated this list for featured list status in 2022, but withdrew the nomination at the time. I think the list is currently a lot closer to FL than it was when I withdrew that nom, but the IP edits have created a lot more work to then have to clean up. Considering that in 2024, there were more unregistered edits to this list than from 2015-2023 combined, and that already in 2025, there have been more unregistered edits than in any year prior to 2024, I do not have confidence that these unregistered edits will slow down or make things easier to maintain. So, I am once again kindly requesting any form of page protection. Soulbust (talk) 00:21, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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.

A historical archive of previous protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive.
