'''temporary full protection''' , 2 weeks if possible. A social sciences and society good article has been overrun by likely disciples of ] who have admitted their political motivation. For example, the main culprit, ] (who has a history of edit wars), has stated to long-time editor ] on the article talk page, <i>Oconfucious, with each passing day more people lose their lives , more innocent families suffer. By letting people know about the persecution, Falun Gong practitioners are only hoping that more good natured people getting to know the truth will result in the killings and torture being stopped.</i> Although it may be the truth, such claims are not verified. I, and Ohconfucious, have said many times that the new information, which is sourced from advocacy groups such as ] (as per their own website), certainly do not meet ] guidelines which state that the source must be third-party and independent. No consensus on the radical changes was ever reached on the article talk page, and it was suggested by Dilip supporters that the new radical changes should be added <i>first</i> to the article before being discussed which is contrary to Misplaced Pages's general rule of thumb that added information in a good article is what the burden of proof is on. In fact, the Everything that has been written adds ] to one particular viewpoint, in this case, in favor of FLG. Indeed, even without the changes, the Good Article independent reviewer has stated that the article appeared to be pro-FLG. Therefore, I ask that the article, <b>in the form it was originally in</b> , be protected fully for 2 weeks until a consensus has been reached on the talk page, and new independent editors have shown up.

    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 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.

    Declined Sounds like you meant to put this in edit requests. But even if you did, you need to be specific. Daniel Case (talk) 23:05, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    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.
