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.

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

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Editors are going around and around and around about how to describe her as a philosopher. Fighting over: amateur, self-styled, non-academic, disputed, or no modifier. . – S. Rich (talk) 02:55, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Template:GAR (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Move protection: Highly visible page – Always substituted as instructed by WP:GAR. George Ho (talk) 02:04, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Template:GAR/link (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Move protection: Highly visible page – Always comes and goes in talk pages. George Ho (talk) 02:03, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

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

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Article is a magnet for vandalism. Most of the edits since it was last unprotected are IP vandalism and reverts of said vandalism. Really stinking up the history page. TimL • talk 01:04, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

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

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Was previously temporarily protected - that ran out in June. Since then, almost all edits from unconfirmed accounts have been vandalism. . Stalwart111 23:58, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Manny Diaz (American football) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Has been the target of continuous IP vandalism since Saturday 9/7. Protect for a few weeks? . BlueAg09 (Talk) 22:47, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mark Arsten (talk) 23:23, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection: A floating IP address starting with 69.95, who disagrees with the consensus result of a month-long RfC, now refuses to let the result of that RfC be footnoted. Discussion at Talk:The Dakota gives evidence of his disrupting Misplaced Pages to illustrate a point.--Tenebrae (talk) 18:17, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Mark Arsten (talk) 23:24, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

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.

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

Hi all, I'm really sorry you have blocked the article. I'm the creator of it, I see there were so many vandalisms but I can't explain anything in the discussion page since the same as been blocked and my original account removed. I just wanna make clear that I did not do any vandalism or whatever some admins claim in the discussion page. I wrote the article, then corrected it a few times to make it correspondent with the Misplaced Pages norms, since I belive the article is right to stay on it. I'm not involved with the Company, I've just made t thesis on it at the university. I wrote a few messages to those who change or delete section, in a very civil way (maybe ironic sometimes when I saw deletion came afte 0,2 seconds from the modify asking how can they read everything so fast, that's it). I never done anything else. So I would make it clear, you can either accept the article or not, but just don't blame me or something I've never did, and judge it for its contents and for those absurde arguments! Many thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Derek7289 (talk • contribs) 22:49, 9 September 2013‎

The article does not appear to be protected at this time, and the talk page has never been created. The account that created the page was blocked due to a sock-puppet investigation - which means you are evading that block. Go back to your original account, and request unblock from there, do not continue to create new accounts. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 23:34, 9 September 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.
