'''temporary full protection''' Article is constantly being reverted from its current, factually correct state to a version that is politically slanted towards Taiwanese independence. Users reverting (usually IP addresses) claim the article as it is is pro-PRC despite not indicating how it is pro-PRC. These revisions occur constantly, especially when there is a note at the top of the article stating not to edit the certain aspects of the article unless a consensus is made on the talk page.

Page was protected after the matter was resolved. There never was an edit war.

I made a suggestion about attributing a view, and ] reverted it. (1RR, perfectly normal)

I thought his rv reason was insufficient, so I reverted his rv. (1RR, happens a lot if not "normal")

Dave reverted back. (2RR, pushing the envelope but not a violation)

I am on parole, so a second reversion on my part would be 2RR. But I only made one revert (Dave made two reverts, which is fine with me).

After this, I wrote on Dave's page indicating that I understood his reasoning and then decided to let his reversion stand, because I '''did not want''' to revert any further.

He even wrote back that he "supports Ed" by which I assume he means that our discussion is going somewhere fruitful.

I don't see how this constitutes an edit war, so I request that the page be unprotected.

Meanwhile, there is plenty of discussion at ] about the matter in question, and I have no intention of going against consensus about it. --] (]) 15:20, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

    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.

    Uzbekistan

    Many people want to change the real dates of the event and change the official data to false ones. I ask you to protect the page from vandalism for a month. Thank you!Azar Altman (talk) 12:41, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

    Lyal S. Sunga

    Reason: Introduction of misleading and inaccurate information on a persistent basis by one user "Jlanansh" who insists on changes to the biography of Lyal S. Sunga, despite the fact that the page has been up for years and has been edited and backed up by authoritative sources without previous difficulty. This is a case of vandalism. 101.56.25.252 (talk) 14:48, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

    Reason: Semi-protection; LTA is back. Departure– (talk) 16:40, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request 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

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit 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.
