 | This page has anadministrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with{{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
Before requesting, read theprotection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism tohigh-risk templates; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see therough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stoppagemove revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see therough 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 onSpecial:ProtectedPages. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins should not revert to specific versions of the page, except to removeobvious vandalism.

Semi-protection: Persistentdisruptive editing – Many different IPs adding incorrect example countries willy-nilly, all of which are unitary states (i.e. the literal opposite of the article subject).

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. The page is already underextended confirmed protection, which includes move protection. The events today were a single editor whogamed the system to become extended confirmed, and then went on a spree. They're now not just blocked, they're globally locked; unless they start socking to come back for another round, there's no need to up the move protection. If they do, re-report. -The BushrangerOne ping only05:12, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]Reason: IPs keep onchangingquotesto suit theirpolitical beliefs
Like it's subpages likeLeft-wing politics &Right-wing politics, basic protection, it could use permanent semi protection rather then continuously having mods endlessly come back to revert them2001:8003:3E12:3300:C074:AAFE:E6ED:D9A6 (talk)05:30, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected I have reinstated the semi protection; unprotection for some topics will never really work in the long run.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity tojustify protection. There have been no IP edits on the article since 2022, and the 2022 edit did not appear to be disruptive. — Newslinger talk11:28, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]Reason: Persistent vandalism targeting historical accuracy of the article.178.81.4.245 (talk)11:06, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity tojustify protection. The reverts in the past month appear to be in response togood-faith editing, and notvandalism. Also,semi-protection would have only affected one of those edits, as every other editor who made edits on the article within the past month isautoconfirmed. — Newslinger talk11:35, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]Reason: High volume of unconstructive edits requiring administrator intervention.178.81.4.245 (talk)11:11, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistentsockpuppetry – PerWikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Box32/Archive#24_June_2025; COI editorUser:Box32 was using the2A02:C7C:52A1:1200:0:0:0:0/64 (block range ·block log (global) ·WHOIS (partial)) range to remove copyedit templates from this article and create false consensus.
