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 get rid of obvious vandalism.

Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

Chris Cuomo (philosopher)

Brief semi-protection: IP vandalism. This page is being vandalized by people who confuse the article with the more high-profile page Chris Cuomo. Because it isn't being watched as heavily, the vandalism isn't getting reverted. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 04:46, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Only four instances of vandalism today, prior to that the article was untouched for 5 months. caknuck ° needs to be running more often 05:10, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – PLEASE protect this page. he’s NOT going to stop removing sourced content. this is the second time i’ve asked . Second Skin (talk) 06:54, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Declined @Second Skin: Please put a short explanation at Talk:Wristmeetrazor (currently a red link) with title "Genres". Include a short extract from a reliable source to show why screamo is included. Mention why "This band is falsely labelled as screamo due to their band name being from a usurp synapse song" from the latest IP is not applicable.

Change the box office from "815 cr' to 950 cr. Venkatesh29 (talk) 10:58, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done – Your request is not backed by any kind of reliable source. At any rate, Wkipedia is not a news ticker; it's not here to give up-to-the-minute cricket scores, stock prices or box office takings. See also the fate suffered by several requests at Talk:Kalki 2898 AD. Favonian (talk) 11:16, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a ((Pagelinks)) template and then the reason. It looks like this: Example (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) your request here. ~~~~
