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.

Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

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

Full-Protection. I'm a bit confused here. There seems to be a content dispute going on here, according to the essay the editor who wants protection just posted here. Turned it into a request for protection. -Jéské 09:28, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

NOTE) I just found that the essay was cross-posted here from AN/I; the essay there predates the one here by ~30 minutes. -Jéské 09:50, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment the dispute is mostly over archiving talk page. Protection of the article itself would be inappropriate, as it was mostly likely posted here originally because the user is confused and not especially comfortable with english. – ornis ⚙ 11:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - if after 3 weeks, thing just go south again, request again, and protection will probably be for much longer. -- Anonymous Dissident 07:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. - we don't really do pre-emptive protection. Also, there are a number of anon editors making constructive edits on that page right now, and it wouldn't be right to exclude them at this time - Alison 06:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Declined The recent perpetrator of vandalism was blocked (albeit for a very short period of time). Overall, however, I don't see an especially serious and problematic vandalism issue; nothing the regular editors can't handle. -- tariqabjotu 06:04, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

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

Semi-protect, targetted by a long-term abuser - see WP:LTA#User:Moisesxyz. If the talk page starts being targetted, it can be protected as well after telling that user to submit a formal request for arbitration. --Sigma 7 05:01, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected -- tariqabjotu 05:26, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

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

Semi-protect....at least, until the Manny Pacquiao-Marco Antonio Barrera fight is officially over, as confirmed in the wire reports. Because this fight isn't officially over (at least on free TV), the Pacquiao article is currently experiencing a high level of IP vandalism. I'd suggest a 24-hour semi-prot to restrict edits only to registered editors. Thanks Tito Pao 03:42, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected by another admin. -- tariqabjotu 05:27, 7 October 2007 (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.

unprotection No reason for protection anymore. Rocket000 01:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Declined. The template is transcluded into over 600 pages - that seems a pretty good reason for protection... WjBscribe 05:24, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Current requests for significant edits to a protected page

Shortcut

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.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Citing something. In the biological exlpanations part where it says citation needed, put down this:

Please sign the request. The link, however, is a legitimate one, unles sthe Mayo Clinic fails WP:RS. -Jéské 04:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Declined. I can't see how that link is a source for the statement: "The increased stimulation of the serotonin receptors 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C in the OFC is believed to cause this inhibition." The page is only semi protected, you can propose the addition of that link on the talkpage and see if there is a consensus for it. WjBscribe 23:47, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

The IP's are dynamic, which is why this is a semi-protection request rather than posted at 3RR.

Both the 122.xxx and 219.xxx IP's resolve to the same area: Asia Pacific Network Information Centre

Note: - While I agree that the two ranges are related and that it's probably the same editor, I wouldn't place too much importance on the addresses being related to APNIC, as they control all of WHOIS for Asia - Alison 12:04, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
