    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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Current requests for protection

    Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, There was already a semi protection on this page, but recently it was taken off. Why? It has already led to an increased number of vandals abusing the article. This is a large, important article as well. → Ãlways Ãhëad (talk) 20:52, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    semi protection vandalism, Dynamic IP ranges committing vandalism after release of protection, since they are dynamic IP's, protection is the only way to stop them. Momo san Gespräch 20:15, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi=protect The same IP (82.114.94.25, 82.114.94.15, 82.114.94.16, 82.114.94.20) keeps changing sourced info in the article to incorrect information. TJ Spyke 20:12, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Full protection Non-retention approved through AFD and DRV, one person is still reverting. Protecting the redirect will accomplish the close. MBisanz talk 19:55, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Done Tan | 39 19:57, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full-protection, edit war over insertion of libelous content and material sourced from Michelle Malkin. WP:BLP Violation. [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by AletheaTruth (talk • contribs) 14:18, 30 April 2009

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It's been twelve hours without a further peep. 3RR seems to have discouraged this going further. I'd encourage looking at WP:Dispute resolution though; might help keep this from continuing/escalating. - Vianello (Talk) 19:48, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Almost all of the last 100 edits by anons have been vandalism. NanohaA'sYuriTalk, My master 19:09, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. –Juliancolton | Talk 19:17, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected. by Tanthalas39. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:31, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protection vandalism, blatant vandalism by different IP's after release of protection on 23 April, I think 3 month protection should do it. Momo san Gespräch 18:16, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Each time the vandalism occured it's been only one IP and they get blocked pretty quickly. I don't think there's a need to protect it unless multiple IPs are vandalizing at the same time. Icestorm815 • Talk 18:49, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    User talk:41.245.171.28 (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, page is getting vandalized multiple times every day, a few days of semi-protection should be enough. FrehleySpace Ace 14:03, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined--RegentsPark (My narrowboat) 14:13, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protection high level of IP edits to add WP:BADCHARTS and copy vio sources. --Legolas (talk2me) 13:30, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a week, let's see if they go away. There's an abuse filter which should discourage this as well. Stifle (talk) 13:49, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protection high level of IP edits (I think until at least High School finals' season is over in the US)

    Seems to be 1-per-day-ish common vandalism, which while frustrating is easily handled. Didn't see anything really insidious at least the past few days ('master cheif is cool!' 'shakespeare is boring!!11!!'). Syrthiss (talk) 12:47, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: I've asked DragonflySixtyseven (talk · contribs) for information on an OTRS revert on this page before I can make a decision. --GedUK  07:04, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Found Ticket:2009042910074003. I can't disclose the ticket details, but suffice to say that saying Mr. Goldberg has won ten Emmys is not a BLP violation :) Stifle (talk) 15:12, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite full protection vandalism, old semi-retired userpage subject to ongoing IP vandalism.  Badgernet  ₪  08:32, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined, not really much vandalism. If the user is annoyed by it, they can request semi protection. SoWhy 08:54, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, removing from watchlist  Badgernet  ₪  09:05, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    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

    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.

    Fulfilled/denied requests

    semi-protection high-visiblity template, Series is currently on-going; high volume of IP edits either outright vandalism or (at very least) POV-pushing. onebravemonkey 10:53, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. That should do for a start, but feel free to come back if it restarts. Stifle (talk) 11:38, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


    Semi-protect vandalism, Multiple vandalism edits by multiple IP's and one Account over the past several weeks, resulting in rvv rollbacks to already vandalised versions. May need full protection instead because of multiple (10+ so far) vandalisms by a registered account. Age Happens (talk) 08:30, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Checking to see if protection is necessary.--GedUK  08:54, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked.--GedUK  08:50, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    full protection high-visiblity template, I created this template to go together with {{Flaglink2}}, a sort of fork of {{Flaglink}}, this links "[text] [country]" instead of "[country] [text]", so as possible to use in for example Template:Flaglink2. (I don't know if flaglink2 should be protected as well, flaglink is not, though flag and flagicon are). chandler ··· 06:55, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined, not highly-visible. SoWhy 08:52, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect - Dynamic IPs keep changing "Presidency" to "Dictatorship". Has gone on for weeks. Requested protection weeks ago and was handled with an IP block, which obviously has not been effective. HkCaGu (talk) 06:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Just watchlist and revert. Lectonar (talk) 07:12, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect. High level of IP and new user vandalism (again). This page was semi-protected for around 3 months once, but upon expiration, vandalism is on the rise again. w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 06:05, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite full protection, User is indef blocked and a IP is vandalising the page, The page should be locked down. Momo san Gespräch 03:41, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Full protection. Indef. blocked user adding a forged barnstar to their Talk page. Reverted the removal of said barnstar. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 02:55, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: indefinite (talk · contribs).. User:Cirt took care of this though, not me. - Vianello (Talk) 03:02, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. That should be long enough for the user to get bored and stop. Icestorm815 • Talk 03:06, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection. Lots of IP vandalism. It appears that the page was semi-protected a few days ago in response to the subject's death and subsequent vandalism; the semi-protection appears to have been lifted yesterday or today and the resulting vandalism has been overwhelming. —BMRR (talk) 02:54, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 24 hours. After 24 hours the page will be automatically unprotected. Hopefully it's subsided by then. - Vianello (Talk) 02:58, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection. A lot of IP vandalism over the last few days, all stemming from the IP range 76. Many of these IPs have made edits only to my user page, so I believe it is all from the same user stemming from a disagreement over edits on Primeval. MelicansMatkin (talk) 02:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full protection vandalism, Page vandalism. Ke5crz (talk) 02:04, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
