Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    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

    Temporary full protection dispute, Ongoing dispute over track listing format. — Σxplicit 19:44, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Appears to be a content dispute between two users only. I warned both editors to stop and talk or they will be blocked. If they continue to revert, consider reporting them to WP:AN3. Nja247 20:42, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full protection dispute, BLP, racism allegations, dispute. See Talk:Young_Republicans#Shit_list, Wikipedia:BLPN#Young_Republicans and page history. —SpaceFlight89 19:13, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Article has been the vandalized a number of times over the last week or so. Non-registered (IP) users have changed the article to indicate subject has died. I am unable to find any indication of this to be true. . ttonyb1 (talk) 18:01, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. per BLP. tedder (talk) 18:06, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection. Vernon Forrest was shot and killed in a car jacking. It would probably be appropriate for a temporary semi-protect. Mgmvegas (talk) 17:57, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. None of the recent edits appear to be vandalism or containing grossly incorrect information. If IPs and new users continue to make trustworthy contributions, we should let them do so. Come back (or directly to me) if I'm wrong, and other admins should feel free to disagree if necessary. tedder (talk) 18:04, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection. Recent vandalism trend. — Victor (talk)(contribs) 17:36, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Done Another admin took care of it already, and I don't know if he knew about the request here, so I'm answering. tedder (talk) 18:05, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, Recent spate of vandalism from multiple IPs, requesting another administrator look into this. Thank you. Cirt (talk) 17:34, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. May need indef, but it's been unprotected and done okay at times. If it gets hit after the year is up, that'll be good reason for indef. tedder (talk) 18:00, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you. Cirt (talk) 20:01, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection. Persistent vandalism. By IP user. Jeffrey Mall | Talk2Me | BNosey - 16:24, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Nja247 17:53, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite full protection vandalism, This article and its talk page have been subject to considerable vandalism by account holders and anonymous IPs. Tagging and attempts to contact previous editors have failed to bring any enhancements or references to the article and have resulted in further vandalism. Within the scope of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools, and the Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire, the article has now been researched and rewritten and page protection is now probably necessary. Kudpung (talk) 16:08, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. tedder (talk) 17:53, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism. Megaman en m (talk) 09:46, 23 July 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.

    Time to drop the create protection. Surprisingly enough, The Paradiso Girls actually managed to chart a hit on Billboard, which means they now meet the inclusion guidelines for musical artists, and a recreation of the article is no longer an automatic G4.—Kww(talk) 02:07, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotected tedder (talk) 04:01, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    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

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, ip users adding unsourced sales and certifications. Mister sparky (talk) 14:33, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for three days. Tan | 39 15:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, IPs and new accounts adding unsourced content (DOB and DOD) despite talk page consensus. Pinkadelica♣ 12:09, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected for 1 week. I don't see much "consensus" on the talk page; just one or two users telling everybody else that they are wrong. Please continue discussion. Rjd0060 (talk) 14:05, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect. One individual with different IP addresses (117.. who had been blocked from Wikipedia under different accounts in the past for vandalism, sockpuppeting, POV and disruptive editing on different India-related articles), keeps at his track. I spent my time to copyedit and clean up the above article, which was more of a messy fansite before, and he has been repeatedly reverting all my edits (also calling it vandalism and using inappropriate language towards me).

    The same goes to Aishwarya Rai, where he does it very deviously; he intentionally creates spelling mistakes when he adds something (diff). I reverted the sp. mistakes and corrected the other thing he added (he clearly added it for a reason: to make his sneaky vandalism unnoticed), and he has been reverting me repeatedly. Generally speaking, it is regularly vandalised, quite on a daily basis, so I think a semi-protection is generally very relevant and timely this time as well.

    The IPs are all blocked and this is a user talk page, but fair enough. The most recent talk page entry is from a new account. Enigmamsg 09:52, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection user talk of blocked user, Wizardman appears to be offline. Vandalism from a blocked user. Displaying a remarkable range of IP addresses to post virtually the same messages. Shadowjams (talk) 09:21, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Could you please un-block the create protection. Dominik Ritter actually managed to strat in a game against FC Santa Coloma in the Europa League, which means he now meet the guidelines for pro-football palyers having played in the top league according to the WikiProject Football. So this article has every right to be created. G4.—Irisches Glueck(talk) 22:33, 25 July 2009 (EST)
