    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 semi-protection , Every IP edit is being reverted due to violations of WP:CITE, mainly in relation to the title of the following episode which will not be released until June 12th; the other page where the title is being added was protected until July 1st, after the rumoured-title episode is aired. I suggest semi-protection until one of those two dates.—TreasuryTag—t—c 11:08, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    But every IP edit is being reverted, so where's the harm in protecting? —TreasuryTag—t—c 11:19, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It simply does not need protection. · AndonicO Engage. 11:20, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    Shortcuts

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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.

    unprotection , The user has been given a second chance by arbcom but not unprotected. They need their talk page to be unblocked, initially for use of {{unblock}}, but also for any further edits to be commented upon........ Dendodge .. TalkHelp 17:19, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Could you link to the 'second chance', or was it by off-wiki means (i.e. email)? Rudget (Help?) 17:22, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    The user mentioned it at Wikipedia:Help desk#Arb Com Unblocking, but didn't cite a source. Apparently Jimbo was involved though...... Dendodge .. TalkHelp 17:24, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It was by email. It said:

    Hi,
    Jimbo Wales passed your request here to review. I am copying my reply to the Arbitration Committee, so that they can read it as well. This is the situation:
    You have edited with many sockpuppets, and different accounts, and now a lot of people don't have patience for it. Your last account, " Doughnuts...Mmm!", pretended to be new, and did other things that weren't helpful, and got blocked.
    If you are really serious about change, we can help you, but you have to be serious. The best way is to be very honest with people. Your absolute best way, if you mean what you say about changing, is to be honest with the community.
    What you would do is say on your talk page or user page, "I was blocked for sock-puppetry, but I have asked the Arbitration Committee and they have given me another chance. If I need help, I will ask for it. I will not use multiple accounts again" Other editors are very helpful if they see you trying, and if you say that and mean it. It will mean you don't have to worry about being blocked by accident, or if someone notices you, either - big reward!
    Let me know if this would be o.k.

    I'll have to try and verify this somehow. Hold on. Rudget (Help?) 17:30, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    The email was something like ft2.wiki@gmail.com. I think it was FT2. 92.5.91.181 (talk) 17:33, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    (double EC) I believe you (although I'm the most gullible person at school, so...) but I've dropped Jimbo a barely noticable line (his 'New messages' banner will let him find it although it should be inconspicuous as we don't want this to get too much publicity). If Jimbo says you're lying, you will definitely get no real second chance. Just a warning in case you are...... Dendodge .. TalkHelp 17:34, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for significant 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.

    Full-protection Vandalism This[1] article proves that Isis Gee manipulated YouTube comments through the use of sockpuppets. I am a fairly new user ( lurker for a year) and have re-written the article removing obvious PR comments. It seems that Isis's PR agency has some sockpuppets on wikipeadia who are manipulating the article to remove negative publicity. As they have access I call for full-protection as they will continue to manipulate wiki with semi-protection. Eurovisionman (talk) 20:25, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Please continue to work towards consensus on the talk page. Please be aware that full protection is not used to lock one side of a content dispute for someone. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 05:28, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
