    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.

    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.

    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 Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages: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.

    Memphis, Tennessee (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Compulsive deletion, and tag-teaming, deliberate destruction of the entry regarding David Saks as the composer of the only "Official Songs of Memphis" has become personal with a problematic user, Jersyko, who compulsively, and with somewhat seditious and incitive or rabble-rousing fashion, as noted by editing comments, removes entries pertaining to Mr. Saks' work. User Jersyko, within the last two years, had one user, Reneec, inexecusably banned because of her support of David Saks and, in paranoid fashion, removed personal information about himself as a law student at the University of Memphis while falsely alleging that the user had threatened him with bodily harm. "One Last Bridge," written by native Memphian, composer and pianist David Saks, was adopted and proclaimed in unanimous resolution (11-0) by the Memphis City Council as Memphis' Official Song of 1990. His composition, "In Memphis" , was adopted as an Official Song of Memphis, the following year in City Council session, in 1991. These are the only two musical compositions ever adopted as Official Songs of Memphis. The record of the Memphis City Council has been reviewed, confirmed many times, is notable and well documented. Refer to the archives for additional information. The recognition of David Saks was an honor presented to him that was of a distinctly greater degree than is commonly the nature of the Memphis City Council. It was a tangible symbol signifying the approval of this gentlemans' contributions to the community. The compulsive deletion, sabotage and tag-teaming of this entry by a few has become personal and vicious. Any attempt to suppress the input of any entry without an account is ludicrous, derisory and prejudicial. Mr. Saks deserves to be recognized honorably within the article. Memphians in Support of David Saks (talk) 21:11, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

    Page protection would not help fulfill the request because even the highest level page protection still allows administrators to edit. The reason for protection is because of improper behavior by Jersyko (per the above request). Jersyko is an administrator so page protection would allow only Jersyko to edit, which would exacerbate the problem that User:Memphians in Support of David Saks reports. Declined Resubmit or add clarification if you believe the above analysis is incorrect. Consider dispute resolution for content dispute? Archtransit (talk) 20:07, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
    This request was made by a sock of an indef blocked user User:Reneec evading his block. The user was blocked for, in part, a legal threat directed at me. This comment should be stricken and request ignored. FWIW, the Memphis article is currently semi-protected solely because of this user's persistent editing in violation of his block (and consensus, I might add) through various non-static IPs. · jersyko talk 20:30, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
    Dispute resolution is the proper process. Calling people sock just incites anger and prolongs edit warring. If the new user has made no legal threat, they should not be blocked for making legal threats or being a sock of a person who made a legal threat. Even if it is the same person, they may be using their right to vanish and return with no legal threats made. Why not begin dispute resolution to discuss who is David Saks? I don't know who he is except that there is a composer by that name according to Google. Archtransit (talk) 20:47, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
    Umm, this is a sock of an indef blocked user, and that is 100% clear. For reference, feel free to ask User:Vary or User:Dozenist, or anyone who participated in the David Saks AFD or the old discuss at the Memphis talk page. This user was indef blocked for a legal threat, among other things. I don't participate in dispute resolution with people who are indef blocked for legal threats. Thanks. · jersyko talk 21:20, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

    NCAA Division I-A national football championship (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    In the first paragraph of the "Rankings Overview" section there are several errors. It states "The NCAA guide lists 340 national championship selections in 137 seasons, an average of between two and three selections every year ever. On that list, Notre Dame is credited with 21 championships, Oklahoma and USC with 17, Alabama and Michigan with 16, Ohio State with 13, Nebraska and Pittsburgh with 11--an amount exceeding claims by almost any university."

    Referencing the actual ncaa site for Past Division 1 Football National Champions (http://www.ncaa.org/champadmin/ia_football_past_champs.html) one can verify for themselves that Notre Dame is credited with 21, Alabama with 17, USC with 17, Oklahoma with 16, Michigan with 15, Ohio State with 14, Nebraska with 12 and Pittsburgh with 11.

    In addition, the "Rankings Overview" section cites the College Football Data Warehouse (CFDW)(http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/national_championships/index.php) as a reference for determining "the most acceptable selectors" and determining the national champions. However, it goes on to list the Dickinson System, International News Service, Football Writers Association of America and the Harris Interactive Poll as acceptable selectors. The CFDW does not recognize these selectors in determining their national champions. In addition, this section also lists the National Championship Foundation as acceptable selectors from 1924-1953, the College Football Researchers Association as acceptable selectors from 1924-1953 and the Helms Athletic Foundation as acceptable selectors from 1883-1982. The CFDW on the other hand only lists the National Championship Foundation as acceptable selectors from 1869-1892, the College Football Researchers Association as acceptable selectors from 1919-1935 and the Helms Athletic Foundation as acceptable selectors from 1883-1935. Thus the CFDW does not recognize Notre Dame as champions in 1938, Alabama as champions in 1945, USC as champions in 1939 and Oklahoma as champions in 1953 and 1978.

    So according to the CFDW, in the "Most national championship" section, Notre Dame should have 12 recognized titles, Alabama should have 11 recognized titles (the CFDW includes 1934), USC should have 10 recognized titles and Oklahoma should have 7 recognized titles. This would further change the "Most Poll Era National Championships" sections by giving Notre Dame - 9, Oklahoma - 7, USC - 7, and Alabama - 7. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cson37 (talkcontribs)

    British National Party (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    The Entry for the 'British National Party' section 1.6 entitled '2007 split' is outdated. The group referred to as 'RealBNP' has become an internal democratic pressure group called 'Voice of Change'. This drive for democratic change to the party's constitution has growing support among the BNPs grassroots membership, and I would like to add this update plus a link to the Voice of Change pressure group into the British National Party's entry section 1.6.

    Al-Qaeda (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    In the article on al-Qaeda: I'd like to request that a separate level-2 heading be created to discuss the essential issue of al-Qaeda's numbers. Nowhere in the article, as currently protected, is there a systematic discussion of the number of operatives in the organization. From the text of the article as it currently stands, al-Qaeda could include tens of millions of operatives, or less than fifty. This needless, dangerous ambiguity to the article ought to be addressed and corrected forthwith. --TallulahBelle (talk) 19:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

    history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    A rather unorthodox request. An arbitrator has protected this page, but left a conditional in her edit summary. For details, see here. The current "pp-dispute" tag at the top of the talk page tells people to come here to request unprotection. What I would like is for an uninvolved administrator to change that link (you may need to substitute the template) to point to User talk:FloNight#Agreement regarding Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for_arbitration/IRC/Proposed_decision instead. This will allow any uninvolved editors passing by, and unaware of the situation, to go to the right place to ask for page unprotection. Carcharoth (talk) Done ~ Riana 08:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

    King_of_Mann#Pretender‎ (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Full protection, edit war. I am David Howe, the subject of the entry. As with my BLP that I did not create and which CarbonLifeForm nominated for deletion and achieved such moving it to the King of Mann page, CarbonLifeForm seems to still be objecting to a NPOV regarding material about me. I have little doubt that this will be a rehash of the BLP page with all the same editors. I have asked for assistance from Misplaced Pages with this page and biographical information about me via e-mail, first through my Lord Advocate's office on 1/24/08 and again myself via e-mail today. My requests having yet received a response, I have taken the issue of editing for accuracy in to my own hands. I'd prefer no Misplaced Pages involvement. Yet, because of the obvious agenda to project a negative point of view by this editor and others as represented based on their history, as the subject of the biographical information and if I understand the policy correctly, I have the right to edit this information for accuracy. I'm requesting no more hijacking and presenting negative points of view which have repeatedly violated Misplaced Pages's policies. If this can not be achieved then any reference of me should be removed completely from Misplaced Pages.--Kingofmann (talk) 19:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

    Declined - Content dispute - minor amount of reverting. No reason to protect. Black Kite 19:16, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
    I ask you to reconsider. This will be an issue in the coming days. It may seem minor to you now, particularly if you have no reference to the recent past and the previous biography dispute about me. I can tell you that this is only going to continue. I do not have the time nor interest to be personally involved so I am asking you to please reconsider given the recent history and disputes on Misplaced Pages that I have had with my biographical information and editors promoting a negative point of view.--Kingofmann (talk) 19:23, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
    Note: There doesn't appear to be any edit warring. Have you supplied the wrong article in the header? Rudget. 19:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
    Editor CarbonLifeForm that I was seeking page protection from has now just completely deleted the section about my biography which had previousl been actively editing to his negative point of view. I'm not sure what Misplaced Pages would call that. Perhaps vandalism? I object to an editor promoting his biased point of view editing about me, so he just simple deletes the whole thing. That is rather amusing. Not that I care about the deletion much. Based on Misplaced Pages's inability to police it's negative-agenda driven editors and rampant vandals, this is probably the best outcome.--Kingofmann (talk) 19:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

    Semi-protection' Very high multiple IP and new user vandalism. I requested this one be protected yesterday, and it was declined. Since then, an additional 15 or so edits have been made, either vandalism or revertion. If you check the page history, you will see that the last few days have seen huge amounts of vandalism. Whilst it is quiet there at the moment (last vandalism reversion was 2 hours ago, I suspect it will start up again later today. StephenBuxton (talk) 12:01, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

    Full protection. Looks like another potential battleground on the image and talk page regarding the age old issue of whether Misplaced Pages should allow images of the Prophet Mohammed. Full protection requested, to avoid bias (most anon IP posts oppose the use of such images, so semi-protection would serve only to exacerbate the issue). Related policies: WP:CENSOR.

    Full protection. An unregistered user with changing IPs is deleting large chunks of text in an edit war. Some time to resolve disputes on the talk page would help. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 08:06, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

    full protection. A user (User:Paul Harald Kaspar) has kept on deleting relevant info in the article, saying the small bit of info there is about wrestling is not necessary. Whammies Were Here 23:29, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

    This page was semi-protected for IP vandalism, but this is not an article that gets continual vandalism. It has been protected long enough. Most of the times this page is protected, there actually is not too much vandalism, but the last time had enough. Footballfan190 (talk) 02:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
