    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

    Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, Unregistered IPs are editing the page giving no reason for edits and starting unnecessary edit wars. Jerzeykydd (talk) 03:09, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • Looks like a content dispute to me- there hasn't been blatant vandalism on it, and only 6 IP edits this month. The two IP reverts have not been for the same insertion; they have in fact effectively undone each other. sonia♫ 03:15, 19 August 2010 (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, As right now, the cast had announced earlier today. Reality World page. ApprenticeFan work 22:51, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    The user I was having a dispute with has now retired from wiki. I request the article become unprotected. Eathb (talk) 07:17, 19 August 2010 (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

    Unprotection, Very little IP vandalism evident, certainly not enough to warrant such lengthy protection. Pontificalibus (talk) 22:21, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: Anytime the page has been unprotected that last few years, protection had been almost immediately reinstated due to excessive vandalism. Jmlk17 22:23, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Not so. It last expired 17 May, there was one reverted IP edit on 19 May and it was reapplied for 6 months. The same thing happened in February. One edit is not excessive vandalism. Shouldn't we give it a decent chance at unprotection? --Pontificalibus (talk) 22:28, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Touche. I agree. Unprotected Jmlk17 22:30, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite full-protection High risk of subjective editing/vandalism, page along with all pages concerning israeli-palestinian conflict are at risk of biased editing by coordinated group of Israeli settlers. Evidence found here: [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raygolt (talk • contribs)

    Declined As suggested by Airplaneman, there isn't any pressing need for protection, which shouldn't be preventative. If a problem arises, the article can be protected then. -- tariqabjotu 23:06, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi or full protection Maintenance template used in about 1000 articles. -- John of Reading (talk) 20:02, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indefinitely. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:11, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Michael Bay (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

    Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, Page has history of vandalism and now users IP are being accused of editing this page and being payed to do it. Joe Gazz84 (user)•(talk)•(contribs) 19:47, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined, Proteting a page and its talk page at the same time is against policy. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:09, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect indefinitely. Prophylaxis. Consistent with all standardized user warning templates. This one in particular is a meta, transcluded in other user warning templates. Bsherr (talk) 19:29, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected. High risk and in line with other meta-templates such as template:db. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:07, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi/move-protection Pending changes failed here. TbhotchTalk C. 18:13, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Done HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:03, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection, My signature, only can be edited in user prefs anyway, but got to big. -- /DQ|Pingme|Emailme\ 15:41, 18 August 2010 (UTC) [reply]

    Note: Your signature is too long and ought to be trimmed to below the 255 character maximum so that it will fit in your user preferences; this will make protection unnecessary. Using a substituted template procedure to get around this is discouraged. See WP:SIG#NT and WP:SIG#Length. BencherliteTalk 16:23, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh ok, sorry, I didn't know that policy existed. -- /DQ|Pingme|Emailme\ 20:04, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    And Declined, since nothing more needs to be done. sonia♫ 20:57, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
