Protection request for Minecraft

The article Minecraft has been vandalized multiple times over the last few months. I think the page should be edit protected. - Sebbog13 (talk) 14:05, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

The vandalism has been dealt with swiftly and has not occurred for a few days. Usually we only protect pages if the vandalism reaches a level where we cannot keep up. Ternera (talk) 20:06, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Protection request for Itamar Ben-Gvir

Itamar Ben-Gvir (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Please semi-protect Itamar Ben-Gvir, it's a fairly active target for KryptonSuperDog23 socks (named and temp accounts). Ravensfire (talk) 17:20, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

New edits from Yehoseph, restoring KSD sock edits. Ravensfire (talk) 17:34, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

@Ravensfire please keep the latest edits, they're important for this wikipedia page but put a lock for the page "Itamar Ben-Gvir".

Thanks, Yehoseph (talk) 17:39, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

I have semi-protected it for a month and blocked the sock here. CountryANDWestern (talk) 18:07, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you - appreciate the help! Ravensfire (talk) 18:40, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Pending requests for unblock

There are three open requests for unlock at Category:Requests for unblock. Two have been open for a few weeks. All three are blocks I placed so I cannot act upon them. Reviewing admin are welcome to contact me at my talk page or via email if they need any clarity on my actions. CountryANDWestern (talk) 23:54, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

all seem to have been dealt with fr33kman 01:34, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Requesting admin assistnance in a DRV

I opened up a Deletion review and it's been up for 13 days. I'm looking for an admin to take a look and see about closing it. Only myself and one other individual has commented on it and we are not in agreement. Neither of us can close it, hence the request for an admin to take a look. Thanks!

Deletion reviews are often open for weeks or in some cases months so I don't think it needs actions yet. Having said that I'll review the closure of the RfD and give an opinion. fr33kman 23:36, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
