Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.

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 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

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

Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – SPA Jeeks21 is here to promote himself. I suspect future attempts at re-creation. Fiddle Faddle 09:53, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

I Will Walk Like a Crazy Horse (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Sorry if this is not the right avenue for this issue, but ‎TheOldJacobite2 has continuously removed a term within an article that has two inline citations and has been re-added by three separate editors. This is being done without remark from jacobite. Sulfurboy (talk) 09:21, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

• Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection was recently made for this page, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days. —cyberbot I ^Notify_Online 09:22, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection: Continuous addition of hoax information from a certain "Dan Joshua Apura", who uses anon IP addresses. Among the hoax information that he usually adds is that the Solar News Channel have partnered with Myx and made a fake "Solar News Caraga Channel" and always uses the tagline "The Crazy Kids People" whenever he adds this hoax information on the Myx and/or the Solar News articles. -WayKurat (talk) 09:16, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Ten Lost Tribes (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: IP editor repeatedly vandalizing page in order to delete material from the lead. First instance two weeks ago, repeated today in more egregious manner. I had to revert about 11 edits to reach the rollback target text in the lead. Some of the edits were one letter edits that rendered the spelling of a wood incorrect. The IP is an SPA that has also been blanking relevant material from his Talk page[1].--Ubikwit ^連絡 _{見学/迷惑} 06:21, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection: A couple of IPs have been making nonsensical edits for awhile now, these edits have been reverted by multiple users.LM2000 (talk) 08:23, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

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.

Current requests for edits to a protected page

Further information: Wikipedia:Edit requests

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.
