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

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

Semi protection anon user with rotating IP keeps editing page which is supposed to be a redirect. --Strothra 03:15, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

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

full protectionagainst creation. It has been deleted twice today, related to already protected page Spinal Cord (music band) and requested below Blaze Burn. -- dockingman 22:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Fully protectedto prevent recreation. Nishkid64 22:43, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection. The Vedas article has been vandalized quite heavily in the past few weeks by users and/or bots from rotating anonymous IPs. Recent vandalism has been made by 169.204.150.111, who has also targeted articles like François Duvalier, Fox News Channel, and Food. Registered contributors managed to revert 2 changes, but the vandal is diligent in its work. Another recent vandal is 220.225.244.196, who has also targeted Star Wars. I have attempted to maintain the integrity of the article by reverting vandalism as quickly as possible, but the vandalism returns at a fairly quick rate. Semi-protection will at the minimum permit registered contributors to manage the article effectively. Sarayuparin 22:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

There is not enough recent activity to justify protection at this time. Just watchlist and revert any vandalism. Nishkid64 22:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protection since the recent BCS Bowls were announced it has been vandalized many times. I expect it to continue through at least January 8, 2007, and even increase slightly before then, when the major contention occurs.. that National Championship Game. All (or at least very much most) have been by IPs. --MECU≈talk 21:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection. There have been plenty of ridiculous vandalism attacks to the Kennet School page recently. This has happened before as well. A semi-protection permanently would be preferable. Thank you, CR7 18:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Declined for now, most recent vandalism by a couple of IPs who seem to have stopped now. Request protection again if vandalism resumes by multiple IPs.--Húsönd 19:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protection or, failing Full-Protection for constant vandalism. All vandalism is by this user - 15:51, 6 December 2006 Jvc107 (Talk | contribs) (→Trivia) SF100 16:06, 6 December 2006 (UTC)SF100

Wouldn't a temporary user ban (with autoblock) work better? --Dgies 17:47, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm new to this so I didnt know that was an option SF100 18:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)SF100

When they vandalize, add {{subst:test4|Reverend Bob Levy}} ~~~~ to their user talk page, and if they keep it up, report them at Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. You could try reporting them there now but you might not get a block due to insufficient warnings having being given. --Dgies 18:52, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

There is not enough recent activity to justify protection at this time. Just watchlist and revert any vandalism. Nishkid64 22:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

semi-protect. "Vanished" spammer/vandal/attacker Analyzethis (contribs) is back spamming his middlesell.com links through 199.111.74.73, one of his multiple IP accounts. Undesirable alternative to semi-protection: blocking shared IPs. --A. B. 06:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protect -Daniel575 has been banned and has already created one (and maybe 2) sockpuppets. I am requesting a semi-protect so that his new incarnations can't edit. He has shown many times that he believes that he is above Wiki rules. Yossiea 20:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Ehrliche_Yid and the IP guy are the same user as Daniel (who was banned). EY has already been banned as a sock puppet. Yossiea 21:14, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. If more sockpuppets appear, take them to WP:AIV on sight (and mention sockmaster).--Húsönd 19:34, 6 December 2006 (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.

Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

There's was some minor vandalism a week ago by one anon IP; I don't think there's much reason to keep the tag long term. -- Kendrick7 18:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Fully protected due to revert warring. There's an edit war going on right now. I'll fully protect right now, but I'll unprotect completely after everything is settled. Nishkid64 22:56, 6 December 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.

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

I requested that the article Midnight_Syndicate be reverted to this correct version and re-protected, but the admin who originally protected it in its incorrect form (during an edit war) states that although my citations are a good arguement for granting the request, he "has no time to do so" and suggested I contact another admin. This is the user talk page: User_talk:Jaranda#Wrong_version:_Request_for_rv_and_protection. As I expained there, the wrong version was protected, all my citations were previously removed by User:Skinny_McGee (both that editor and myself were engaged in an edit war). I have tried to discuss the matters we are opposing on, and he has refused all cites and does not cite anything verifiable of his own to support the removal of the material I wrote, nor for the promotional type of edits he had been inserting. The page is factually incorrect as it stands, highly self-promotional, and the other editor has engaged in deceptive editing, changing creditentials of the subjects, changing dates and the like to alter the context of the article and to present a subtle yet misleading version of the facts. We have tried Rfc but no one commented as to the issues being disputed (much of the Talk:Midnight_Syndicate was archived), and only one other editor had been commenting and reverting my edits to those of User:Skinny_McGee, yet has written and cited nothing at all. Socks were checked. One was found for me, Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/GuardianZ but the second check that was also requested returned inconclusive, and one was done on Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Skinny_McGee and was found to be conclusive with one other sock (reverting once and removing my citations) and 2 other sleeper socks. It's now down to just the two of us and only a single issue that we are butting heads on, and I really don't think we will ever agree given the circumstances. But meanwhile the rest of the article is wrong. Could you please revert to the correct version?this correct version and, if possible, also change the city name from Cleveland to Chardon, as proved in citations and band's website. Thank you. GuardianZ 03:39, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Fulfilled/denied requests

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

Full protection requested- constant reverting back and forth. There is no set agreement on how the match order for the upcoming event will be setup. I think it's best to lock the page until disputes are settled. Page is already semi-protected, but that's not enough in this case. The article controllers need to stop and discuss things before assuming their opinion is right. People can't seem to edit the page much, without getting reverted by several users that won't discuss things first. RobJ1981 00:35, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Fully protected -- tariqabjotu 01:13, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection requested - this article suffers from a relentless stream of vandalism and graffiti. It is semi-protected every so often and the noise vanishes, only to reappear immediately upon being unprotected. --Ckatz_spy 00:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

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

Protection was requested because of flaming and un-supported additions by User:Tommysun. Tommysun has been blocked and seems to have stopped for the time being. I suggest that we change from a complete lock to a block on unregistered edits only. The latter is advisable because Tommysun has previously made anonymous edits and may do so again. Michaelbusch 21:18, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Not unprotected. He's no longer blocked, and the dispute hasn't been resolved. -- Steel 21:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has posted their ruling at User talk:Tommysun. The dispute was strictly Tommysun's flaming. Michaelbusch 21:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Randolph High School (New Jersey) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I am asking that you look at this request again. User:Joefuf is determinedly replacing the humorousm uncited, unencyclopaedic 'list of atudents' back every time I remove it. A short protection period might cool them off. raining girl 14:47, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Prussian Blue (duo) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection requested due to a single long-term vandal who is obsessed with making extremely libelous edits to this article.
