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.

Temporary semi-protection High level of IP additions that can be considered vandalism and original research. This episode just finished airing. ḾỊḼʘɴίcả • Talk • _{I DX for fun!} 02:41, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Rettetast (talk) 14:23, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Rettetast: No one was asking for it to be protected pre-emptively. At the time this request was made, there was already a "high level of IP additions that can be considered vandalism and original research" which has since continued because of you making the wrong call and not taking the time to look through this properly.Cebr1979 (talk) 19:29, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Twice (band) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite Semi-protection: This page just stopped being under protection (the expiry date just passed). However, this group is now in the process of releasing their first album and fans/IPs are adding and changing information as they see fit without sources. This is mainly due to the sudden spike in rumors surrounding the group due to their upcoming debut through a popular and successful agency. Requesting indefinite page protection to help keep page clean from unsourced and unfounded good-faith edits and from the vandalism that usually plagues k-pop pages. Katzenlibrary (talk) 15:56, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Airplaneman ✈ 21:51, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: WP:3RR and WP:DE by 86.150.165.45 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), IP sockpuppet of banned User:Vote (X) for Change. JoeSperrazza (talk) 18:17, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. — MusikAnimal 18:55, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Declined Not a BLP, and vandalism isn't that severe. Given it's TFA I will decline as we want to try to keep it open. Fortunately there's plenty of eyes on it, and school is almost out in the US so I suspect the vandalism will die down soon — MusikAnimal 19:41, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

MusikAnimal: The page's edit history has over one full page of edit/revert/edit/revert and your solution is "school is almost out in the US so I suspect the vandalism will die down soon?"Cebr1979 (talk) 19:51, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Today's featured article always has vandalism. The debate around if and when to protect it has been discussed to death, and it's instead decided on a case by case basis. We try our best to avoid protecting the spotlight article on a project where "anyone can edit". I would protect it without question if it weren't TFA. And yes, school is almost out in the US, which generally means less vandalism — MusikAnimal 19:54, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Economy of Serbia

Economy of Serbia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Temporary Semi-protection: I request urgent temporary protection for this page as long as the investigation on sock-pupping related to this page is ongoing. Persistent reverts by several IP-s (I assume they are sock-puppets of User:Simba222). Otherwise, I'll break 3rr and readers will have false information. Reason for my reverts (as you can see it summary) is because of accepted consensus not to use IMF estimation figures for GDP which these users violate.--AirWolf 20:37, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It at the end of 2 weeks there is no resolution, I'd' be happy to extend protection. Airplaneman ✈ 21:45, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks., after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I've also seen the request from earlier today that was denied. Airplaneman ✈ 21:04, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – news reports of an airstrike on his convoy leading to him being declared dead on wikipedia - yet again. Meanwhile extra traffic to page by people looking for info because he is in news again. Legacypac (talk) 21:55, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
