    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.

    Germany's Next Topmodel season 20

    Reason: User:DDKay does not cite sources or references when undoing work of others. This user persists on actively not p[roviding commentary on decisions to reword/remove/undo work of others. Medium-high level of vandalism. KingdomNone91 (talk) 21:23, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I did and he wants to ignore what I say. The top 200 on GNTM are semi-finalst. In germany they never call the casting round semi-final, because semi-final is the episode before final. He translate the german atricle literally into english, but that is the problem. The articles say only that they cast 100 men and 100 women for the first episode. They never said, that those big group is the final cast. They always call semi-finalist constetants or cast. That don't mean that those are the final cast. Here an example from season 7. There where chosen 50 girls for semi-final and where also called cast or constetants. https://www.bravo.de/germanys-next-topmodel-2012-das-sind-die-50-kandidatinnen-329333.html Those 50 girls where also not the final cast, only because of that. It was the top 25 who became final cast. It is also a wrong information to show the big list of 200 people as final cast and saying that they are the final cast, when even he don't know. So far it is only a list of 200 people. Prosieben webiste also show pics where some of the 200 people having casting numbers, which means the first episodes are castig episodes, where the 200 people will be reduce to the final cast.

    This article relates to an old season and is not relevant to the current season. This request relates to the 20th season. Thanks. KingdomNone91 (talk) 21:35, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It is relevant, because it shows how german article call the semi-finalst. And they call them the same way from 2012 to 2025. So it is clear that they don't mean or call the top 200 final cast. It is also said that the first episode will be casting round for the 100 women and the second episode will be casting round for the 100 men. DDKay (talk) 21:39, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Another excample. This site say: "Sobald die Kandidatinnen für 2025 feststehen, werden sie hier bekannt gegeben." in english: "As soon as the candidates for 2025 have been determined, they will be announced here." Means the final cast is still not chosen. You can find it, when you scroll all the way down. Germany always use the words constetants or cast. No matter if it is still casting or final cast. Means: If they write "the 200 constentants", is not the meaning for final cast. DDKay (talk) 21:45, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I also talked with him before and explained that at him. He told me, he is fine to mark the list as semi-finalst, but change it after that back to final-cast again and again. Seeing here, when scrolling all the way down: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:KingdomNone91 DDKay (talk) 21:36, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    This was due to sources citing the inclusion of a final 200 cast and not as semi-finalists. This article, [1]https://www.promipool.de/tv-film/gntm-2025-kandidaten-kandidatinnen-sendetermine-jury-alle-infos-zur-show, explains that several hundered applicants were invited to a casting, where then 200 were chosen to particpate. This is evident that the 200 are final and not semi-finalists. Regardless, the user continues to undo/revoke work without citing sources as per original request.

    German is also my mother language and I read a lot of aticle. They never wrote anywhere that those 200 people are the final cast. They always wrote that the female models and male models have they own episodes in the start or call them constetants, which don't mean final cast. DDKay (talk) 21:49, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    This is not the point of this request. The point is not citing references instead you are surmising or making note of your own accord. This is not how Wikipedia operates. You are required to back up your decisions/notes with references of which you do not. This is the basis of this request to protect this page top stop the vandalism of which you are taking part in. Thanks. KingdomNone91 (talk) 21:54, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I also read in this link. They never wrote that the final cast are those 200 people. It starts with the enumeration of the guest judges, than the theme song, then they wrote "Heidi Klum revealed in an Insta Live interview that several hundred models were cast for the 20th season. “We cast 100 men on the first day, 100 women on the second day - and we have mega guest judges,” said the international star with a grin. In a first trailer you can see some of the models. This year, too, there are no limits when it comes to gender, weight and height. The first of Heidi Klum's models were announced at the end of January." ---> there is nowhere the part where they say the 200 people are the final cast, only that they casted 200 people --> The ones for the first episodes, where they will be seen in TV. Also they only say that there are no limits of age and so on, also not an information about final cast. The last sentence means, that they came two poster. One with 12 men and one with 13 women and because of the poster we know a part of the final cast, which also don't mean that all 200 people are the final cast. Then they tell some names from the people from the poster. There is not any single word about "All 200 people are the final cast". This is just his interpretation of the the article, but not a true fact. Then that article say the dates for the episodes, where the live final will be and which winners GNTM already have. Also not a part where they say that all 200 people are the final cast. DDKay (talk) 22:00, 3 February 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.

    Dragon Age: The Veilguard

    Reason: Protecting admin is okay with this being revised per here. Full protection was deemed unnecessary due to the edit war stopping, so requesting semi-protection. BMWF (talk) 00:06, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Flagging that this editor is forum shopping as after the first admin (Daniel Case) declined to lift the ECP, they went to RPP for a review where a second admin (Pppery) also declined to adjust the PP, and then went to a third admin's (Isabelle Belato) talk page who also declined. The RfC that we're both involved in is still ongoing and the ECP stopped an edit war. Sariel Xilo (talk) 00:35, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    User Talk:Modernist

    The user seems to make a lot of rollbacks without explanation in cases where the edit doesn't seem to be obvious vandalism. If they explain their rollback in the edit summary then it would have been fine. I wanted to ask the user to explain their reversion to my edit, but their user talk page is locked. 128.193.154.187 (talk) 23:30, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    That text doesn't really summarize what's in the body, nor does that one bit seem significant enough for lead; please get consensus on talk, per Schazjmd (talk · contribs) who reverted you before Modernist did. I would presume the same rationale applies since you reverted Schazjmd. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 02:06, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
