    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.

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

    Full protection. This article attracts many emotionally concerned supporters of relativity, whose main interest is to advance science fiction, deceive the public, and pretend to be the gurus of science while posting under pseudonyms. Request for mediation is filed. Users involved in dispute are:

    Battle of Puebla (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This page has been vandalized quite a lot lately (by multiple users) and there haven't been any legitimate edits by non-autoconfirmed users since February. The high rate of vandalism is unusual for this page and likely due to the approaching anniversary of the battle, so a very temporary semi-protection should be quite sufficient.

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

    Pending changes: BLP policy violations – Mayorkas is a minor political figure, and his page has been attracting some vandalism and changes in infobox nationality from IPs. It would be good to have an extra level of review before these edits go live. — Mr. Stradivarius 14:46, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

    Oh, and of course you are technically correct. If any other admin wishes to protect this, go ahead :). Lectonar (talk) 13:40, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

    Full protection - An editor has reverted poorly-sourced, contentious material into an article about a living person, in contravention of WP:BLP. Article needs to be protected in a state without such material until issues of reliable sourcing, balance, neutrality and undue weight are addressed on the talk page. polarscribe (talk) 05:31, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

    This article needs attention. Editors are continuing to revertpoorly-sourced material into the biography of a living person. polarscribe (talk) 18:13, 3 May 2013 (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.

    Modern Day Escape (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Unprotection: Request unprotection and redirect to StandBy Records, per request on my talk page by Thatemooverthere (talk · contribs). — Cirt (talk) 02:19, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

    Thatemooverthere (talk · contribs) has requested in a post to my talk page that after this redirect is created, it then be protected again, as a redirect. The admin may wish to discuss this with this user, I'll respectfully defer to your judgment. — Cirt (talk) 04:51, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.

    Fulfilled/denied requests

    A rolling archive of the last seven days of protection requests can be found at Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive.
