While most articles can be edited by anyone, semi-protection is sometimes necessary to prevent vandalism to popular pages.
The reason for protection can be found in the protection log. If there are no relevant entries in the protection log, the page may have been moved after being protected.
What can I do?
If you have a user account, log in first. If you do not yet have an account, you may create one; after 4 days and 10 edits, you will be able to edit semi-protected pages.
If you have noticed an error or have a suggestion for a simple, non-controversial change, please check the talk page first in case the issue is already being discussed. If the issue has not been discussed yet, you can submit an edit request at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit. Make sure to clearly describe which page your request is about, and which change exactly you are requesting.
If you wrote any text, please save it temporarily to your device until you can edit this page.
Before you leave a message, read the following FAQ:
I am not an administrator and, therefore, I cannot 1) (un)protect pages; 2) (un)block users; 3) (un)delete pages. Please, refer to the logs of the respective page(s) or user(s) and contact the administrator who performed the action.
To report improper deletion or request undeletion, see deletion review.
To request page protection or unprotection, see requests for page protection. Note that the addition or removal of the ((pp-protected)) template does not protect or remove the protection settings that an administrator gave to the page.

If such material is repeatedly inserted, please report the issue to AIV or ANI, or if there are other concerns about the biography of a living person, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

Because multiple banned and blocked users have requested me to perform edits, I will not respond to further requests from unestablished users. Refer to §Evasion and enforcement for further information.
This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia. This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.
The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by JJMC89 for the following reason(s):
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.
Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.
This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.
Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.
Your current IP address is 35.175.116.192.
The blocked range is 35.175.0.0/16.
Please include all above details in any queries you make.
If you believe you were blocked by mistake, you can find additional information and instructions in the No open proxies global policy.
Otherwise, to discuss the block please post a request for review on Meta-Wiki. You could also send an email to the stewardsVRT queue at stewards@wikimedia.org including all above details.
