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. Skip to table of contents requests to raise protection lower protection requested edits (purge) Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level Request protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection 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

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism has picked right back up after the recent protection ended a few days ago. Needs a little big longer protection this time, it seems. Gloss 17:27, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection and/or pending changes protection - the article is just one giant edit war. Though a goodly amount of the edit warring come from auto-confirmed editors, many of the disruptive edits are from IPs.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 05:35, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Mlpearc (open channel) 03:34, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Declined It may be a little too early for protection right now as there have not been that many reverts. I'd recommend encouraging a talk page discussion. If it keeps up, then we can consider protection. Mike V • Talk 17:05, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

• List of thriller films of the 2010s (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Films are added from IP hopping user who adds content that does not match what is in the article, (lacking year, release date, genre, actors, country of production, etc.) or are flat out wrong. No response from IP when I've left notices on their page. Editing like this has gone on for about two months now. Help? Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:21, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Peterson Institute for International Economics (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: IPs from Denmark want to add their own personal analysis about a "policy briefing" paper from PIIE which is critical of Denmark. They have no sources for their criticism. Efforts to get them to RS & V their analysis have been unsuccessful. – S. Rich (talk) 14:28, 13 February 2015 (UTC) Update: Another registered WP editor has reverted their changes but the IPs persist in adding their unsourced personal opinions. My hope is that PP can solve the problem rather than going to the ANI or EWN.18:33, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

• 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.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Recurring target of vandals and sockpuppeteers whom he crosses paths with. Blake Gripling (talk) 14:40, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

• Automated comment: This page appears to already be protected. Please confirm.—_{Talk to my owner:Online} 14:54, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Declined Just a note, this section is for unprotection but it appears you are requesting protection. I've blocked the user involved, so that should stop the vandalism. Also, the account was autoconfirmed so semi-protection would have no effect. Mike V • Talk 17:11, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

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

Would an admin unprotect Kirby Delauter and move Draft:Kirby Delauter to Kirby Delauter? See this close of Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard#Review of Misplaced Pages:Deletion review/Log/2015 January 8#Kirby Delauter and Draft:Kirby Delauter by Spartaz (talk · contribs) (thank you, Spartaz, for reviewing and closing the discussion):

This discussion has stalled. 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.

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.
