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

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. - Alison 22:39, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Certainly doesn't need protection, although it needs discussion on the Talk page. The page reads like a terribly biased advertisement. Edits by 71.252.49.164 look like good faith attempts to remove advertising to me. bikeable (talk) 22:40, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

full protection (for a week or so?). I heard there will be a huge vandalism attack on this page. If it doesn't get protection, a lot of reverts will have to be done.

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.

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.

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

This article recently fully protected following edit war and vandalism (content deletion under pretense of spam) from Russeasby (now 24-hr blocked for 3RR violation). The deleted content in question is sourced and perfectly NPOV. Third party opinions in Talk:Anchor are against this deletion, e.g. that from Hoof Hearted, and advice from one other solicited third party (Shell Kinney) warned cessation of these edits. Protection fell upon final revert by Russeasby before revision could take place. Suggest this be rolled back. Badmonkey 15:31, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Declined The consensus is hard to see on that page, all I see is arguments. In addition, if a consensus is reached, asking for unprotection is better. This section is for non-controversial edits to protected pages; unprotection may be more appropriate. --Deskana (ya rly) 21:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

full-protect. To protect against people entering incorrect data about Christian Children's Fund - we're a highly reputable organization and wish to remain above reproach. Entering incorrect data can tremendously affect our hard-earned excellent reputation. Tabrumett 15:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. If you're concerned about the article, watchlist it and revert vandalism. But there is no justification for semi-protection, much less full protection. Heimstern Läufer 15:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Full Protection - Repeated, obvious vandalism: 129.120.244.17 constantly changes every instance of the word "euphonium" to "baritone" and posts obnoxious, flame-bait messages on the talk page. This page has been semi-protected before and the vandalism started again immediately after the protection was lifted, so it seems nothing but full, indefinite protection will stop this nonsense. --NetherlandishYankee 13:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

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

Full protection Content dispute regarding the use of flags in the article's infobox. The article was previously protected for this. User:Vintagekits and User:padraig3uk have decided the issue has been resolved and removed the flag/crest from the article. As you'll see from the article's talk page no consensus has been reached and the steps from the dispute resoltion process have not been carried out. It needs to go to mediation and/or Arbcom and as per policy the status quo (the flag/crest being included) should remain until that happens. Until yestersay all users in the dispute had followed procedure and not edited the article to insert/remove the flag. I realise I have broken 3RR, but Vintagekits and padraig have also broken the essence of the policy. I request the article be reverted to include the flag/crest and full protection until the dispute is resolved. Stu 11:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Fully protected due to revert warring. Majorly _{(o rly?)} 14:24, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protection - Being a current event and linked from the front page, this gets a lot of attention. One or two anons think that calling the sailors detainees is "Pro Iranian POV" and keep changing the wording to "hostages" (see talk page). There is also the problem of American anons "correcting" the Commonwealth English spelling. --Imroy 02:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
