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.

Mohamed Al-Fayed (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect - This page is a biography of a living wealthy person. Multiple edits from IP users in the past few days have added libelous and childish obscenity vandalism. Curtains99 01:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

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

Semi-protect - The page is commonly vandalized. There have been 7 vandalizations in the last 24 hours from 4 IPs, and that is fairly typical of a day in the life of this article. I'm not sure what level of vandalism you think is justifiable for protection, but there's a good amount of it on a daily basis. TheHYPO 23:05, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

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

Semi-protect Despite that it is a disambiguation page, it is commonly vandalized by IP addresses and new users. --emc! ╬ 21:54, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

There is not enough activity/vandalism on the page to justify protection at this time. Just watchlist the page and revert as necessary. Kimchi.sg 21:59, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you kidding me? That's a joke, right? The only activity on the page itself is that of vandalism, despite how often it takes place. --emc! ╬ 22:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

No joke. I concur with Kim. 1 edit in 3 days. No way near enough vandalism. It's not worth locking out IP addresses for. "Semi protection should be used when it is the only way to solve your problem". In this case, reverting is easy. --Lord Deskana 22:04, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

My Chemical Romance (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect IP addresses enjoy coming in and vandalizing and/or changing the genre when the genre has already been properly decided upon on the talk page. --emc! ╬ 21:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

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

Full protect I requested before that this page be semi-protected, and it was (twice) for good cause, but since the semi-protection tag has been lifted, vandalism is starting again. --emc! ╬ 21:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

2006 World Cup (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Full protection till after the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The page keeps on turning into a redirect when it is correctly a disambiguation page as there is more than one 2006 world cup.--Bob 21:18, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

There is not enough vandalism / activity on the page to justify full protection. Kimchi.sg 21:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

The Little Mermaid (1989 film) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect for 1-2 days: An IP vandal, 24.92.46.16, has been disrupting the page history just about now. He needs to be blocked soon enough! --Slgrandson 21:11, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

User has been blocked so I don't see the need to protect the page as an extra measure. It would prevent other good anons from contributing. Kimchi.sg 21:25, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

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

Full protection. Cool down period seems necessary for ongoing edit war. 202.156.6.54 13:43, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Bae Yong Joon (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection. Second request, due to revert war casued by User:Fabshelly and several annoyomous IDs, inspired by article written by Koh on wikipedia. Controversy is similar to those of Marty Meehan.

User:Fabshelly has so far violated policies and guidelines in varying degrees: Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not, which is an official policy, ignorance of Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources, Misplaced Pages:Biographies of living persons and Misplaced Pages:Neutral_point_of_view. If failing to abide by these laws despite being informed, it would be considered as Misplaced Pages:Vandalism. Although Fabshelly as so far made no signs of making these law-violating edits, other ID users such as this have made attempts.

As for me, while Fabshelly has accused me of posting false information on Talk:Bae Yong Joon, I have already patched up by adding essential citations to my contributions in accordance to the standardised guideline of Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources. Thus there should be no more reason to why my contributions be eliminated repeatedly despite abiding all the above laws in Good Faith.

Thus semi-protection, as least temporary, is needed to end the revert war caused by violations of wikipedia laws. Misplaced Pages's guidelines, especially Official policies, are something which all users must abide with in order to be in wikipedia. I hereby appeal to admins to at least seriously consider this request and thoroughly investigate and end this contention. Mr Tan 07:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

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

We have a IP and a editor adding a fancruft Robin to the page and they keep reverting it back when we revert it back. The Robin that they are reverting it to is currently up for AfD as original research The Robin. BJK 23:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks like we got the people to stop remove request. BJK 13:38, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

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

This page is being repeatedly vandalised or unnecessarily reverted to vandalised, defamatory, false, poorly organized and ungrammatical versions by User:Holywarrior. Please ban him if you find it appropriate and protect this sensitive article on an influential clan of the North Indian social hierarchy. Thanks.

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.

Big Brother Australia series 6 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

A vote is being held on the talk page, so it's unlikely that there will be any more edit wars on the main page. Plus, I would like to add content to the page. --JD_email 17:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

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

Page was originally semi-protected due to an invasion from the IGN message boards. This was over a week ago and the invasion was only going to last an evening anyway. Anonymous editors are currently requesting (constructive) changes on the talk page. -- Steel 00:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Unprotected. Looks like the "attacks" mentioned on the talk page have already stopped. Kimchi.sg 22:51, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

List of wars and disasters by death toll (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This page was protected over a content dispute. All users involved in the dispute have now agreed the page can be unprotected. Thankyou. Gatoclass 01:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

(For confirmation, see the post by JohnFlaherty at the end of the subheading entitled "Confused" on the talk page). Gatoclass 18:06, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Apartheid outside of South Africa (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Article was protected as a result of differences regarding this and Israeli apartheid article. Since the issue with both is the same, they need to be dealt with in the same way and at the same time. Jayjg 15:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Current requests for significant 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.

Fullfilled/denied requests

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

Full protection - The {{deletedpage}} notice on this page is meaningless without page protection. 69.117.4.132 15:39, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Protected. Kimchi.sg 22:44, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

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

indef-blocked-sock, using talk page as soapbox + making random soapboxy personal attacks against random users--205.188.116.9 03:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• also, I can't even keep the {{subst:indefblocked}} tag on this person, because people seem to have a "revert all AOL users blindly" compulsion, that compels them to remove it--205.188.116.9 03:34, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

You were blanking the page, removing his request for unblock and {{helpme}} request in the process. It's not very fair to deny others a choice to be unblocked, if you're a non-admin. There's no need to protect this page now, the user hasn't edited since Pgk denied the unblock request. Kimchi.sg 21:34, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

This article recently underwent an extreme lesbian vandal attack — the edit history speaks for itself. Semi-protect, please. —THIS IS MESSEDOCKER (TALK) 02:14, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

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

Please unprotect User:GoldToeMarionette's talk page since the RfAr concerning the account validated that no policy violation occurred which warranted the block or page protection in the first place . Thank you. PoolGuy 03:25, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Denied as this user full well knows the current likely outcome of the RFAr is that he is restricted to one account only. --pgk 16:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

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

Permanent semi protection our glorious leader's been unprotected again, and the inevitable torrent of anon vandalism has ensued. "Hopefully, protection is no longer necessary" was the edit comment of the unprotecting admin. Bless. SP-KP 19:08, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

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

Semi-Protection There is an edit war currently going on over a disputed external link. At least one unregistered sock puppet has started editting the link out (possibly as a means to get around the three-reverts rule). Jinxmchue 20:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

User:Xinyu (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I'm actually wondering whether this page is protected at all... I can edit it just fine, and it seems like the user has put this template on his user page when the page wasn't actually protected in the past. Still, I'm going to assume good faith, because I don't know how to tell if the page is just protected so that anon users can't edit it (though why it would be I don't know; there hasn't been a lot of vandalism to the page)... Do the admins have some way of checking whether a page is protected? (Is there a way for me to do this of which I am unaware?) I've told the user that he should remove the tag if his page isn't really protected, but I'm not sure if he'll comply. Sorry if this isn't the right place to bring this up... I wasn't sure whether it should maybe go on the admins' noticeboard instead.

Thanks!

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

Protected because of alleged edit warring, when in fact the changes were being discussed quite a bit on the talk page at the time (Misplaced Pages:Edit war defines it as undiscussed reversions.) I think that the protecting admin might have meant "rampant accusations of racism and other gross incivility" instead of "edit warring." In any case, mediation has begun. Furthermore, I have prepared mediation questions, so we should be ready to go right away. Please unprotect the page and Banu Qaynuqa (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), the other article subject to this mediation, because the mediator, User:Geo.plrd, is not an admin. Thank you. Publicola 06:59, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Issues can be worked out on talk page quite easily during mediation. There is no reason to unprotect until the mediation is over. pschemp | talk 14:11, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Portal:Taiwan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

page-move protection The portal is meant to be about the island of Taiwan (NPOV) under the Geography section of Portal:Browse but some people keep moving the portal page to Portal:Republic of China. A mediation request has been filed at Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-06-21 Portal:Taiwan as the next step to settle the dispute. Until the mediation and possible further arbitration request is concluded, I request that the portal be protected against page-moves until the dispute is solved. — Nrtm81 13:20, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Neuro-linguistic programming (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection having been heavily trolled and vandalised by sock/meats in the past year (sock ring listed on WP:LTA), the main page has been semi protected, but now we're seeing edits from anon IP's in the same style as the sock puppeteer again. So a request to add semi-protection to the talk page too. Sample edit: this long edit which looks innocuous... if it wasn't almost identical to previous edits by the vandal over the last year. Also see Neuro-linguistic programming on WP:PROT#Semi-protection. FT2 12:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protection this page is currently having a lot of vandalism done to it by at least 2 IPs - possibly the same user. I'm not sure whether semi-protection or an IP range block would be best, as at the moment it seems to only be affecting the Jean-Baptiste Lamarck article.

Semi-protrction a user with an ip tried to tell me i was vandelising the page (which, i was not, i was removing a biased piece of the article. and replacing it with a toned down version). i feel that only registered users need to edit this opage because of the nature in how the company is viewed by some.
