• Note:There is an active content dispute over an unsourced claim added by the user who requested here to protect this page. I pinged him on the talk page instead of providing any explanation on the talk page, he rushed to request protection for this page in bad faith, just to prevent me from editing this page. See talk page discussion at Talk:Kohistan, Pakistan#Content dispute or check edit history of the page before protection.~2026-24089-28 (talk) 15:10, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

  Please give a read to what these policies mean and make an account instead of indulging in edit war and disruption through anonymous IPs. Sutyarashi (talk) 15:31, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

  First of all you added a claim in note and other languages. I challenged that we don't have any scholarly or a reliable source to claim that 10.1% speak Gawri & Torwali languages only. (When in a scholarly source there is mention that Kohistan region have 3 districts. In Kohistan Indus district of Kohistan region 10.5% district's total population speak Gujri language. When I added in other languages (Gawri, Torwali, Gujri). You removed Gujri?. Also I already explained that 13.57% speak other languages (other languages doesn't mean only Gawri/Torwali even we're not sure how many percent speak Gawri, Torwali & Gujari so we need to avoid such claims. Zubair Torwali is a Torwali speaking individual how you can use his source to claim that Torwali is a major language language or spoken by 10.1% with Gawri? That is against the census of Pakistan 2023 also againt cited scholarly sources. Instead of addressing issue on talk page you came here? Ignoring the fact that is the case of a content dispute not any kind of vandalism you were wrong when you labeled my edits as vandalism. ~2026-24089-28 (talk) 18:15, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

  Please take your discussion to the talk and reply there. And I would appreciate if you stop stalking my edits here, other talk pages and elsewhere. Sutyarashi (talk) 18:49, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

  There is no restrictions to create account for editing Wikipedia (I appreciate your advice to create account but there is no restrictions to create account before editing anything on Wikipedia so it's user's own choice). "disruption through anonymous IPs"? There were no anonymous IPs but Temporary accounts. When a logged out user edit anything on Wikipedia automatically a temporary assigned to their IP. If user logged out from existing temporary account again make new edits new temporary account will be created these temporary accounts are not anonymous IPs, but only TA if you're familiar read WP:TA. ~2026-24089-28 (talk) 18:21, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

@Mariamnei: Seeing as most of these requests are of the same contentious topic reasoning, would you be interested in trying out WP:RFPP/B (new creation for batch requests, see talk)? That way, the WP:RFPP/I page can be used for more urgent requests and we can lower the backlog on this page. Best, Staraction (talk · contribs) 08:26, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

@Staraction - Sure, I found a lot more of these, but I did not mean to be annoying. I will take a look at that. Thank you for the suggestion. Regarding the ones that I already submitted - should I resubmit them under bulk requests, or will they be taken care of in turn? Thanks and have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 08:38, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

It wouldn't hurt to just move these to the bulk requests page, but ultimately it's up to you. And you are not being annoying; far from it! Keep up the good work Staraction (talk · contribs) 08:43, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Since the 19th, there's been persistent vandalism by three newly-created accounts (Tagapagtanggol111, Wiki.Paaatty, Geometry28); they all lack edit histories. Requesting protection status to require autoconfirmed users temporarily, as it is unlikely the page has to be protected forever. SirDore (talk) 10:46, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Before posting a request for unprotection, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.

To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.

DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...

• ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
  • If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
  • If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
• ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
• ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
• ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.
• ...the current protection is logged as an arbitration enforcement action made within the last year. Such actions may only be appealed to the protecting administrator, WP:AE, WP:AN, or WP:ARCA.

You may request a protection reduction below if...

• ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
• ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
• ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
• ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.

If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.

Requests for specific edits should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from adding a request there.

• You may add the appropriate template ({{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}}) to the article's talk page if you would like to request an edit be made. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
• For edit requests being made due to the editor having a conflict of interest with the article subject (see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used instead of the others listed above.
• Requests to move pages that are currently move-protected should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not on this page.
• This page is not for holding discussions regarding content.

Otherwise, if you are unable to add a request to the article's talk page, you may use this page to propose a specific edit to be performed. Vague requests that don't propose a specific edit will be declined. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to properly add a request.

A historical archive of previous protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive.
