    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.

    Volker Türk

    Reason: I am requesting protection for the article on Volker Türk due to sustained, ideologically motivated editing that violates Wikipedia’s core content policies (WP:NPOV, WP:V, WP:RS, WP:BLP). I have already had to correct multiple problematic edits where partisan sources and activist commentary were used to frame Volker Türk as politically biased, often by selectively quoting or misattributing statements. Several additions presented narrow, misleading interpretations as fact, or elevated non-neutral sources to appear authoritative.

    These edits follow a clear pattern of inserting contentious material without reliable sourcing, misrepresenting the public record, and using partisan viewpoints as factual claims. The page is becoming a target for coordinated efforts to undermine neutrality and factual accuracy, creating a risk of serious misinformation about a living person.

    I have addressed the most recent edits, but the article remains vulnerable to further tendentious editing. I respectfully request semi-protection to prevent ongoing disruption and ensure compliance with Wikipedia’s standards, particularly WP:BLP.

    Please see the article’s edit history for evidence of these patterns. Menilmontagnard1 (talk) 09:42, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) Looks like a content dispute. Also your request looks like it was written by AI. Aydoh8[what have I done now?] 09:46, 6 May 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.

    Reason: I protected this some time ago, but now someone's asking me to reduce protection. I don't follow US politicians much (I had to read the article to remember who he is), so I'd prefer that this be handled by someone more familiar with how much protection (if any) this article needs. Nyttend (talk) 10:06, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected @Nyttend: I think the requestors reasoning on your talk-page is sound, so I have reduced to semi. I have watchlisted too. Lectonar (talk) 12:16, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
