Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

Shortcuts WP:RFPP WP:RFP WP:RPP 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.

New York, New York (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – No reason whatsoever to edit this redirect absent another move request of NYC or NY State or discussion of the usage of NY, NY. GotR 17:56, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

• Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection was recently made for this page, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days. Snotbot  t • c »  18:07, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined --auburnpilot talk 19:06, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Boston Marathon bombings (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary pending changes: Good mixture in last 3 days of both minor good-faith, erroneous good-faith, and vandalising edits that warrants PC. There is no evidence, contrary to the claims that HJMitchell make out of thin air, that IPs are frequently involved, and since they're scum anyway, there's no "disadvantaging" them.

Declined, "they're scum anyway"? I suggest you find yourself a better grasp on the fundamentals of this project. --auburnpilot talk 19:06, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Malaysian general election, 2013 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Accusations of voting fraud are beginning to show up in social media and on site. —Ryulong (琉竜) 17:48, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

• Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. Not a lot of vandalism, but ... --Bbb23 (talk) 18:06, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

BTR-80 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The article is currently protected through pending changes, but because of the numerous attempts to deliberately add false information that are made by one or more IP-hopping anonymous users it might be better if the article was semi-protected. Preferable for a period of at least a month (just like the current PC-protection). Thomas.W (talk) 17:01, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

User talk:Ushau97 (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite full-protection:: I don't want any messages from now on since I'm retiring. Semi-protection is also okay. Ushau97 (talk) 11:24, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined User talk pages are not protected for this reason. Dianna (talk) 15:17, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:BK Chicken Fries (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

Temp-Semi - Persistent personal attacks on talk page by IP-hopping edit-warrior currently engaged in wiki-stalking and hounding. Article has been locked for the same reason.--Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 07:36, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

User(s) blocked.; 12.154.167.229 (talk · contribs) blocked by Dennis Brown; 68.14.78.114 (talk · contribs) blocked by myself. Dianna (talk) 15:12, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

User talk:Pïragarul (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite full protection: Inappropriate use of user talk page while blocked. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 04:44, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

User(s) re-blocked with talk page editing disallowed by Kinu. ~ Riana ⁂ 11:47, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Saturday Night Live (season 38) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Pending changes for one month. Persistent disruptive edits from some IP users, a burden on editors. Requesting one month of pending changes as the show's season ends in May. -- Wikipedical (talk) 03:46, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The article is being created almost exclusively by the IPs, and I don't want to interfere with that. Dianna (talk) 14:53, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Bad Girls Club (season 7) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite protection: High level of RECENT IP and user vandalism. Junebea1 (talk) 22:47, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

• Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection was recently made for this page, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days. Snotbot  t • c »  02:06, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined Edits are not vandalism. Dianna (talk) 14:48, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Bad Girls All-Star Battle (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Junebea1 (talk) 22:45, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Dianna (talk) 14:47, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Newly created single-purpose accounts repeatedly adding negatives and adding advertising/promotional material.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.170.68.135 (talk • contribs)

Note: This looks like POV warrioring by User:Abilash Aadhikesavan. This might need a CU to look at instead, considering the history of warring by a few accounts. Someone more familiar with the topic might look at protection. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 20:03, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection: Well-cited parts of the article are consistently blanked by IPs and new users. I could semi-protect it myself but I want another admin to review my behavior and make sure I've done nothing wrong (you can see that a consensus was reached on the talk page).

Current requests for unprotection

• WP:RFUP
• WP:RFPU

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)

I'd say the salting was a pretty bad call. The AFD had only 1 !vote other than the nom's, meaning it was more of a "soft consensus", and the protecting admin was involved, having been the AFD nominator in the first place. — PinkAmpers& 19:29, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Unprotect Janet Hubert page

Unprotection: Request to open the page http://en.wikipedia.org/Janet_Hubert for editing. I just read Janet Hubert's book she wrote and she talks about why she left the "Fresh Prince" TV Show - it had nothing to do with her pregnancy. I want to correct the wrong information currently on the page, using her own words from her book. But the page is locked against editing. Request for unprotect. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.122.11.171 (talk) 00:41, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

• WP:RFED

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.
