Only making edits to Ryan Roulette. not promotional, but appearing to be subject of the article. SPF121188 (talk this way) (my edits) 17:41, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
    Not a violation of the username policy. Real names are permitted except when they imply that the editor is a specific living person they are not. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. Cullen328 (talk) 18:41, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
    @Spf121188: In case you didn't know, you can submit an ARV-UAA report without selecting any of the four checkboxes, if none of them apply. (Of course, if none of them apply, then UAA is usually the wrong venueย โ€“ but if you're reporting anyway, there's no need for inapplicable boilerplate.) jlwoodwa (talk) 18:46, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
Fair enough, thanks for the info, Jlwoodwa. I'll keep that in mind. SPF121188 (talk this way) (my edits) 18:51, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Declined โ€“ No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Less Unless (talk) 17:56, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editingย โ€“ Persistent adding/changing to copyrighted images. And possibly sockpuppetry, already reported to SPI via Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ckfrlgud1. โ€” Paper9oll (๐Ÿ”” โ€ข ๐Ÿ“) 04:24, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Less Unless (talk) 18:11, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Repeated addition of unofficial website. Samuel Johnson (talk) 13:36, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Declined โ€“ No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Less Unless (talk) 18:20, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcementย โ€“ ARBPIA. Jdcomix (talk) 15:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent vandalism in a BLP by an unregistered user seemingly using different IPs Leafy46 (talk) 15:44, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Observed numerous amounts of vandalism mostly from IP accounts, mainly revolving around the film's box office and critical response. Dusty Kelpie (talk) 16:18, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason: High level of repeated IP vandalism. Require semi-protection + blocking of the IP user. Magentic Manifestations (talk) 16:29, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

edit
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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.

Reason: This talk page appears to be protected. I am not trying to edit the main article on Donald Trump, only to ask a question on the talk page. The question is, why are there no citations in the lead section fo the Donald Trump article? Citations only begin in the "personal life" section. Given Lukestark (talk) 03:40, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

@Lukestark. The lead section is a summary of the content in the body of the article. That being so, as the content in the body of the article is cited, it not necessary to repeat the citations in the lead section. The WP:Teahouse is a good place to ask questions like these. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 03:54, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
@Lukestark: It is common practise for the lede of a biography to be mostly, if not entirely, unsourced as it's supposed to summarise the content that is properly cited below. โ€”Jรฉskรฉ Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 04:40, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
Not unprotected for the reason explained above and formalized in MOS:LEADCITE. Favonian (talk) 16:35, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Unprotection: Remove the 2011 pagemove protection. Page may need to be moved back to lowercase "i" following the consensus at Talk:Genocide of indigenous peoples#Requested move 25 May 2024. โ€” kashmฤซrฤซย TALK 12:04, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to have already been unprotected. Please confirm.โ€”cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 12:10, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because disruptive editing has stopped Rafnator9 (talk) 19:16, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Declined ... because of the protection, I imagine. Also, with WP:GS/CASTE applied, unprotection just isn't happening. โ€“ย Muboshguย (talk) 19:24, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

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