    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    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.

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:CT/AP. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 05:46, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: Without regards to details behind the specific request here (I haven't looked at the page yet) -- the AP '92 CTOPS doesn't have an automatic ECP provision in the manner that PIA does. An uninvolved administrator can ECP it for up to a year if they feel it's warranted but unless I'm missing something the arbitration decision doesn't inherently authorize an indefinite ECP. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 18:58, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: I thought I had already protected this yesterday; looks like multiple forks were made of the same subject (presumably by accident), and an active move discussion is ongoing on the talk page above. Not sure protection is necessary if we're just going to be merging these specific pages out of existence shortly. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 19:01, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I agree that semi-protection seems warranted. There's a WP:LTA user whose current IP (97.112.197.204 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)) has been blocked, but who has used several different IP ranges in the past:

Immediate sources are not being adequately provided or updated. Trailblazer101 (talk) 18:58, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Talia Lavin

    Reason: Repeated BLP violations, victim of far-right ragebait so a long protection would be good. Contentious topic, post-1992 US politics (Lavin is a researcher on far-right extremism). At least 2 but more likely 4 accounts are operated by thte same person. Polygnotus (talk) 19:02, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I am a leftist. Not far right. I suspect that the editor is the subject of the entry and is trying to manage her own profile on wikipedia by deleting negative content. UnaMacchia (talk) 19:42, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Well then its at least 2 but more likely 3. And no, I am obviously not Lavin. Polygnotus (talk) 19:47, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Well then you're obviously biased on her behalf for some reason. You consistently delete references to the most notable thing she's ever done. The only time she ever made national headlines. UnaMacchia (talk) 19:51, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    And I am a single person. I don't know what other accounts you're referring to. UnaMacchia (talk) 19:52, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Let me correct myself in advance: she also made national headlines once for an SNL "turd ferguson" reference on Jeopardy once. But I am not aware that that has ever been referenced in her Wikipedia entry. The termination from her job is arguably her second most significant accomplishment. UnaMacchia (talk) 19:55, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    So "her second most significant accomplishment" is something that never happened? She didn't get terminated. What a neutral unbiased thing to say. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. Polygnotus (talk) 20:01, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Weird how a neutral unbiased person suddenly remembers that after 7 years (who was not told by that recent thread). Polygnotus (talk) 19:59, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

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

    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.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

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

    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.

    Amazon (company)

    There are citations needed for the section "For the fiscal year 2021, Amazon reported earnings of US$33.36 billion, with an annual revenue of US$469.82 billion, an increase of 21.7% over the previous fiscal cycle. Since 2007 sales increased from 14.835 billion to 469.822 billion, due to continued business expansion.[citation needed]"

    I have found three references from bloggingwizard, investing.com and wallstreetnumbers.com that back those claims but I don't have permissions to add them.

    For some reason I can't add full URLs here because I get a "spamblacklist" but happy to share. Joanfihu (talk) 15:43, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
