    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 increase in protection level

    Judith Barsi

    Temporary full protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated vandalism by IP editors that is immediately reverted by another user. Constant edit warring between IP and registered users. All edits since 09:57, 27 June 2019‎ have been undone/reverted. AldezD (talk) 12:43, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. The current PC protection is working well. This is exactly the kind of article that PC is intended for, with recurrent problem edits that are not frequent enough to justify semi-protection. MelanieN (talk) 18:59, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Manchester

    Semi-protection: High level of unexplained IP edit warring. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:58, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected   Dlohcierekim (talk) 13:44, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Bigg Boss Tamil 3

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism and disruptive edits from unkown IP's. Please add protection until 30th September atleast. It happened twice with temporary protection, and took sometime to correct the edits and make the page to standards. -Lesenwriter (talk) 14:26, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. The article is heavily edited by many different IPs, and almost all of their edits are constructive. The occasional vandal can be reverted. MelanieN (talk) 20:05, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    V. G. Siddhartha

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Csgir (talk) 15:36, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. The article is being heavily edited right now due to recent news, but the vast majority of IP edits are constructive. MelanieN (talk) 20:22, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Flame (rapper)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The recent legal case has brought some unwanted, negative interest in the subject. A short (two-week?) lock should be enough to have the subject leave the public's consciousness, at least until the damages have been determined. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:17, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    List of VeggieTales videos

    Indefinite extended confirmed: Persistent vandalism – unsourced addition of "release dates" to content. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:18, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:02, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Vector Marketing

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Previously protected, as soon as the protection came off various IPs have been trying to convert the description from a MLM to a direct marketing label. Consensus seems established it is an MLM and no helpful edits are coming from IPs. Ifnord (talk) 18:41, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Descendants 3

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – With this film set to premiere in a few days, I am reluctant to be requesting semiprotection, but the IP edits (and reverts of them) are starting to get out of hand. MPFitz1968 (talk) 21:10, 30 July 2019 (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.

    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.
