As far as I can see there may be disagreement here about whether the article should hae been deleted but there isn't a killer policy based argument that the delete aspect of the DRV as closed was wrong. Where I am seeing a lack of consensus is around whether the salting should have been reinstated. As the salting was part of the original deletion is is certainly in RoySmith's ambit to reinstate this with the endorse finding but, on challenge, we do not have a clear specific consensus. As such, and bearing in mind that DRVs remit is deletion not salting I think the consensus is that reinstating the salting is not an enforcable provision of the DRV close. What does that mean? It means that any admin can unsalt this without needing to see consensus on the point. The only reason I have not done this myself is because there appears to be a risk of BLP issues to consider and I have not got the time right now to research the question to determine if there is a BLP risk from the unsalting. This does not preclude someone who has got that time from doing so.</blockquote> ] (]) 00:24, 14 February 2015 (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.

    Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Jimmy Rex

    Reason: Possible sockpuppetry as mentioned in WP:ANI. Borgenland (talk) 04:18, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    What, no direct link? :( El_C 04:20, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
    I think the section is Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents § Incivility, aspersions, WP:NOTHERE from Cokeandbread. jlwoodwa (talk) 08:26, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
    Thank you, jlwoodwa, that would have saved time (@Borgenland). Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Also, indef protected the SPI and revoked TPA at the latest user talk page, and other actions (including closing the ANI report). El_C 11:47, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Byeon Woo-seok

    Reason: Targeted of Vandalism in past few days by by special contributor, removing accurate content again and again, thus creating a lot of work for others to undo. as mention at WP:ANI Puchicatos (talk) 05:18, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 11:54, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Mira Murati

    Reason: repeated unconstructive ip edits Cl3phact0 (talk) 11:42, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. El_C 11:52, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    University of Faisalabad

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent addition of unsourced and promotional material by multiple accounts & IPs. Annh07 (talk) 11:45, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Revdel'd the latest copyvio. El_C 12:01, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Indonesia

    Reason: High level of vandalism from auto-confirmed accounts 125.160.115.228 (talk) 12:13, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Zero disruptive edits since December 16. BusterD (talk) 12:40, 26 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.

    Shortcuts

    Lil Dicky

    Reason: Lil Dicky was semi-protected back in 2019. Now that five years have passed, could the semi-protection be lifted? I asked the protecting administrator and received no response. 174.93.89.27 (talk) 00:25, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Adding a little contextual info, this same request was declined 8 hrs before this by ToBeFree. IP did contact Protecting admin (Materialscientist on Dec 22) before the first request, but Materialscientist has not replied to that, and has replied to a different discussion just below that one since then (on Dec 24). Zinnober9 (talk) 05:30, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Henry David Thoreau

    Reason: It appears that the article has had Pending Changes enabled since 2017. The admin protecting the page hasn't made any edits since 2018. I don't think the current history of the article warrants Pending Changes being enabled. Rockfang (talk) 02:57, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Unprotected – Let's see how it plays out. Favonian (talk) 11:51, 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.
