Revision as of 21:27, 24 November 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 |

semi-protection vandalism, Normally I wouldn't request protection to someones talk page but it is being attacked by an IP hopping troll that was on Verizon Wireless, now has drifted over to Sprint EVDO IP. Momo san Gespräch 18:52, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

System of a Down (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Semi-protection I beg that this article be semi-protected. I have to revert this article sometimes 4 or 5 times daily, as several IP editors consistently modify the genres and the instruments played by the band members. The IP's change day to day, and it is becoming hugely frustrating. Please don't disavow this without a thorough look, as this vandalism has been consistent for months, and the page should be permanently semi-protected like many city articles are. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 17:59, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Ruslik_Zero 19:30, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

List of Freemasons (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Semi-protection requested... the list has always been a bit of a vandalism magnet. We get a steady stream of IP vandlism (I suspect it's mostly school kids, who find it amusing to add inappropriate names to the list). Normally we just revert and ignore, but the volume of vandal attacks has picked up dramatically in the last few weeks. Blueboar (talk) 14:55, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Cirt (talk) 17:28, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
How the Earth Was Made (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Temporary full protection dispute, May be ridiculous, but dispute between myself and another editor over the width of the episode list table. When I worked on the article several days ago making various MoS fixes, I set it at 70% to avoid excessive white space between the "Season 1" header and the table itself. This is standard practice for embedded lists like this. However, the disputing editor came in today and changed it to 100% because they don't like the whitespace it leaves under the infobox. I, of course, disagree feeling whitespace under the infobox is preferable to whitespace in the middle of the actual content. We have both now made 3 reverts, and the article is currently in its original state, which would seem to be the appropriate state for it to be protected in. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 07:46, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Where in the MoS does it say TV episode list tables have to be 70% width? Cyberia23 (talk) 18:48, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Fully protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Cirt (talk) 17:29, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Current requests for unprotection
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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.

Unprotect i want to vandalise it again.
Malia Obama (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
This link is fully protected to prevent the article from being created. Wikipedia asked a user to discuss the situation (see order here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Malia_Obama#Request_for_comments_again_about_this_redirect ) The discussion has been completed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive73#Malia_Obama
The result was that the majority of comments was to allow the article (so unprotect). Some people were opposed. With an AFD, a lack of consensus is default to keep the article so we must keep the article (especially since there was a majority keep).
There are many good reasons for the article, some of which are discussed here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Malia_Obama#New_situation and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Family_of_Barack_Obama#Malia_Obama_article
As far as Malia just being a daughter, there are quite a few articles on reliable sources about her with mere passing mention of her father, Barack. Furthermore, Bo, who hasn't done a thing except eat dog chow, has an article just because of his family relationship. This article was speedily kept in an AFD showing that even someone with only a relationship gets an article and Malia has more than a relationship to be notable, but actual articles. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Rex_(dog)
Wikipedia policy forbids the naming of children if they are known just because of their relationship to a famous person. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BLP#Privacy_of_names Since Malia is mentioned in Wikipedia, this shows that she is notable and her name not censored because of non-notability.
Please abide by this discussion (Wikipedia ANI told a user to have the discussion there) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive73#Malia_Obama , unprotect the page and allow people to edit it. Mayor of Gotham City (talk) 03:44, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- Not unprotected There's no consensus that I can see to remove the redirect and have a separate article. The AfD default keep position doesn't apply in this case, this isn't a deletion discussion (that's already happened). When there's a consensus that this page can be unprotected, then it can be unprotected. GedUK 10:19, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- AFD discussion happened closer to two years ago than one and she had no articles on her at the time and the President was merely a candidate among a dozen (dime a dozen).
- Comment: I've engaged in a number of the discussions referenced, and I as dissected in them, there is no clear consensus against a separate article (though, there are a few defenders of the current status quo that would disagree with me). A series of different editors tried to create a separate article from the redirect and were rebuffed (which led to the page protection). Then there was a Malia Obama (2009) that someone else created to get around the protection last month, and there will likely be other attempts by casual editors to do so again and again, which is a sign of the actual consensus. Hundreds of users[1] search for the page for Malia everyday, so keeping this as a redirect will be a constant uphill battle.--Milowent (talk) 13:53, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- There's no clear consensus either way, in which case the redirect stays. GedUK 14:25, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- I agree. "No consensus" does not default to "create", and we don't allow articles simply to stop people attempting to bypass policy. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 14:34, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- There are all the reasons to end protection and the only reason to keep protect is because "WP:IDONTLIKEIT" and want to prevent it from appearing. We allow all articles then AFD the one's that don't qualify, not resort to tricks and wikilawyering to keep it off. Again, all the reasons point to have the article/unprotect and the only reason cited for protection is that Malia only a daughter and cannot be notable but the President's dog did nothing and is notable. That is hypocracy. Please unprotect it. Mayor of Gotham City (talk) 03:30, 24 November 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.
