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.

semi-protection vandalism and possible WP:BLP. Article was previously plagued by an editor using a variety of sock puppets who persisted in adding a WP:BLP violation.

Illuminati (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Longest possible Semi-protect requested. This is one of those rare articles that really should be placed on a permanent semi-protect, but I understand that this is not an option. Quite simply, the article is a vandalism magnet that has been repeatedly protected. It just came off of its most recent round of protection yesterday and already it is being vandalized. Blueboar (talk) 15:39, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AlexiusHoratius 15:53, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

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 edits to a protected page

Shortcut

WP:RFED

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.

Fulfilled/denied requests

Roller coaster (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, Since late last year I have requested temporary protection twice for this page due to a high level of IP vandalism. The last protection expired a little over a month ago. Since then only 8 real contributions have been made (all by registered users) with a further 26 edits dealing with vandalism (99% by IPs). Could this article please have indefinite semi-protection? Thanks. Themeparkgc Talk 08:56, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 08:59, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Semi-protection Pondexter, a WNBA player, made some controversial comments about the earthquake in Japan. The article has been hit by some vandalism lately, and I can't imagine many people are watching it. Zagalejo^^^ 04:25, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
