It seems likely to me that a user searching for "Amanda Knox" is looking for information about the case she's associated with. Redirecting directly to the section on the murder article about Knox is confusing, since it leads to reading about Knox's role without first introducing who the victim is and the circumstances of the case.

I therefore suggest that the redirect be changed to target the article and not the specific section. Propaniac (talk) 02:05, 5 December 2009 (UTC) |

Should be unprotected because only one editor doesn't like it and wanted to stop everyone else from editing. Several editors edited and if one editor doesn't like it, they should discuss it, not wipe out the article and demand page protection.

Revision as of 03:53, 5 December 2009
Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
---|---|---|
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.
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here |

Current requests for protection
Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create protection at the BOTTOM of this section. 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.
Current requests for unprotection
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.
Temporary un-protect
Temporary semi-protection, Article keeps getting recreated despite no real reason for doing so, last revision was just a carbon copy of the content from Murder of Meredith Kercher. Re-creation is possibly due to current news coverage so possibly a protection for a couple of months? It is highly unlikely Amanda Knox will do anything to warrent own article. raseaCtalk to me 01:19, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- Fully protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. NW (Talk) 01:46, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Climatic Research Unit e-mail hacking incident (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
The article Climatic Research Unit e-mail hacking incident has been locked down because a handful of the usual suspects, (one with a very prominent WP:COI) have been hell bent on shaping the article to reflect a very narrow POV. A lockdown of a current event article for this period of time seems excessive and unprecedented. I would ask that it be unprotected, and that 1RR be observed and enforced on it. WVBluefield (talk) 20:04, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- to add few difs: [1][2][3]. as you can see, other registered users also objected, and who knows how many unregistered users like me would object if they had patience that i do to deal with this "meta" wiki editing (as we cannot express our discontent on the article talk page). 93.86.205.97 (talk) 20:08, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- The article protection will expire in just a few hours. I suggest waiting it out. For the talk page, the Talk:Climatic_Research_Unit_e-mail_hacking_incident/Subpage can be used to post discussions without having an account for now. henrik•talk 22:19, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
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 Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}
template should be used. - Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia: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.

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Latest declared Bambifan101 target; chosen specifically by him because he thought it was unwatched[5]. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:50, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- Already protected by administrator PMDrive1061. - although I can't say I agree with this. If you, Collectonian, and PMdrive would just revert/block/ignore instead of going completely insane every time he shows up, maybe he would lose interest. J.delanoygabsadds 02:15, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- After two years, do you really think he would? Its been tried, and then he goes nuts and stalks/harasses until he gets attention. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 02:19, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
Long Term Semi-Protection. High risk article with a long history of IP vandalism. Nearly all edits on first page of history are anonymous vandalism or the reversion thereof. Spiesr (talk) 18:37, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, There's been relatively large number of IP addresses making similar, intentionally inaccurate changes to the page, possibly for political motivations (Russian nationalism?). The vandalism is subtle enough that it's often overlooked for a while (I've had to manually copy'n'paste from older versions to fix the problems). I'm not sure if this should be a one month block (different IPs have been coming back sufficiently infrequently individually, but enough in aggregate that a shorter block is pointless as discouragement), or a permanent semi-protect is in order, though my AGF tendencies make me lean towards the former. —ShadowRanger (talk|stalk) 18:01, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Willking1979 (talk) 18:57, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protection. I am trying to clean up this article and bring in more sources, but there is someone using IP who is making attempts to improve the article as well, but has not educated themselves on correct WP. I don't wish to keep warning this editor as they appear to be operating in good faith, but on the other hand they are either not reading or ignoring messages I am leaving for them. Can I get this semiprotected in order to clean things up? If there is a better approach, could you message me and let me know? Thanks. LeilaniLad (talk) 19:22, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Since coming off it's last semi-protection the only real edits have been vandalism and the reversion of that vandalism. 'I'm A Celebrity '09' is due to end 4/12 so one would assume that vandalism is unlikely to continue for much longer but may very well peak this evening/weekend. Suggest semi-protection for 1 week which will also cover a planned one-off episode on 7/12 which will also, presumably, create IP vandal attention. raseaCtalk to me 17:44, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
