    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 of article protection, upload protection, or create protection at the BOTTOM of this section.

    Temporary full protection dispute, Admin. approved information (other uses with image) pertaining to article is being removed continuously . Windowasher 23:46, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

    Temporary long-term semi-protection - high level of IP vandalism. Connormah (talk) 22:49, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Tom N (tcncv) talk/contrib 23:30, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection, Currently there is a dispute on the page. IP user adds information to page that has no meaning. LouriePieterse 18:00, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. In the future, make sure to give user warnings; it would have been easier to block the IP than protect the page, if they were given sufficient warnings. tedder (talk) 18:07, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full protection vandalism, Temporary there is a dispute on the page. Thanks. LouriePieterse 17:56, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Take the user to WP:3RR, but discuss the rationale and applicable Wikipedia guidelines at Talk:Myleene Klass first. tedder (talk) 18:04, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection, recent heavy edit warring involving multiple IPs. Fezmar9 (talk) 17:32, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GedUK  17:51, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full protection dispute, Multiple IP editors changing outcome of UFC 104 between "win", "loss", "fixed". . Alan (talk) 17:12, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Full protection is unnecessary at this stage. Semi protection will stop the IPs from editing. 1 month as it's immediately hit again after the previous 2 week protection expired. GedUK  17:48, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, controversial fight decision has led to an avalanche of vandalism. (Actually, pretty much ALL prominent MMA fighters are chronic vandal targets, and it would save a lot of time to have them all indefinitely semi-protected, IMO.)Senor Vergara (talk) 17:10, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected.GedUK  17:43, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full protection dispute, Edit warring between a number of registered editors which has been going on for the past few days. There is a discussion on the talk page trying to resolve this but it doesn't seem to be resolving anything. 5 albert square (talk) 16:38, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined The IP and his sockpuppet have been blocked. Hopefully that will give everyone enough breathing space to calm down. Bring back here if necessary. GedUK  17:20, 25 October 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.

    Unprotection, will an admin kindly bring my userpage's protection down to indef. semi? Thank you! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:12, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Done GedUK  18:33, 25 October 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.

    User(s) blocked.. PeterSymonds (talk) 09:39, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    User talk:Rain City Blues (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

    Full protection or indef block This blocked user re-added a threat after it was removed as being a personal attack. Full protect until the block is over. Alternatively, because this user is nearing the end of a two week block, does not express contrition for his/her behavior, and threatens the blocking administrator, I recommend an indef block. Cunard (talk) 07:46, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. indefinitely, with the talk page option disabled. PeterSymonds (talk) 09:32, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection, Introduction of factual errors after contentious judges decision in the main event of UFC 104 (people changing the winner (and thus new champion) to Rua instead of Machida). --aktsu (t / c) 07:05, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Thanks. PeterSymonds (talk) 09:34, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]


    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Excessive vandalism on article page. Dave1185 talk 04:21, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    AlexiusHoratius 04:24, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect - persistent IP and new user vandalism/page blanking for the past week, but has gotten a lot worse today. — DanMP5 04:19, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined for now - vandalism does seem a bit heavier than normal but not really out of control yet, let's wait and see on this one. Re-report if vandalism worsens. AlexiusHoratius 04:26, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]


    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, looking at recent edits, almost all IP edits are vandlism, in heavy quantities. RF23 (talk) 03:24, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. "Heavy quantities" usually means 5-50 IPs vandalizing per day. This article has hardly had 5 IP edits this month. tedder (talk) 03:26, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full protection vandalism, The kid-spam is going to make it difficult for any interested serious editor to add content... it is hard even to keep the flags in the article. - Sinneed 03:03, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined I'll watch the article and warn/block editors if necessary. There aren't any IPs vandalizing the article, so it should be pretty easy to control. Full-protection (let alone semi-prot) during AFD is pretty rare. tedder (talk) 03:20, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection. Persistent vandalism. McSly (talk) 02:54, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. tedder (talk) 03:18, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection. Persistent vandalism. Alan (talk) 02:49, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. tedder (talk) 03:17, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
