    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

    Ummm, why is an IP user, who only recently started editing, and immediately jumped into controversy, asking for page protection? WP:DUCK.Volunteer Marek (talk) 00:13, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    "Recently" - ha. over 1000 edits, starting in January, does not fit the definition of "recently" in any way, shape or form. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 00:17, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 10 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. That'll get us to the new Congress, at least. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 10:36, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Alexandra Morton

    Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Repeated BLP issues and vandalism introduced by various IP editors since the beginning of the month. Article isn't very well watched and these edits have lasted for a while. (Examples: [1] [2] [3] [4]). ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 04:41, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Barmakids

    Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Given the blocking didn't stop the editing, I've protected it. @K.e.coffman: I've never actually given a page EC before when it relates to an Arbitration Enforcement, so if there are extra steps I need to take to record it somewhere, please let me know. Anarchyte (work | talk) 11:12, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Valentino Rossi

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing to block Anonymous users. Fareth (talk) 08:04, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    I second this, except that this needs to be done to prevent sockpuppets like the above user from editing the page. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 08:12, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Question: Fareth hasn't edited the page, nor have anonymous editors lately, so which edits are the disruptive ones? Just the now-blocked BurglarGang? ~ Amory (u • t • c) 10:28, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Joseph Goebbels‎‎

    Temp semi- - Persistent IP and non-confirmed vandalism and disruptive editing. Beyond My Ken (talk) 08:21, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 10:19, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Velupillai Prabhakaran

    Semi-protection requested. My first; so not sure how long; a month? High level of IP and newbie-registered user (some now blocked) vandalism.

    Reason: Prabhakaran is founder of the Tamil tigers, and this is a classic, "one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist"-type content dispute. There is persistent EW on describing him or the Tigers as "terrorist" (sometimes also vandalism about his gender or other details). How to describe the Tigers has been argued endlessly (see Archives 2 to 10 at Talk:LTTE). Consensus there is that the LTTE is a "Tamil militant organization" that "waged a secessionist nationalist insurgency," (thus neither "Freedom fighters" nor "terrorists.") Mathglot (talk) 08:39, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. PC wasn't doing the trick, hopefully this will help. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 10:23, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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

    Further information: Wikipedia:Edit requests
    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.
