Revision as of 11:33, 4 November 2008
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 |

User:Jarrett O'Hearn ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Indefinite Full Protection. On my main page people have constantly been making radical changes (vandalizing). I keep changing it back, however they keep adding more radical false information the next day (like calling me a communist). It would be great if I could have my page protected so that I wouldn't have to worry about false acquisitions or information being posted about me. I changed it back a few minutes ago, but I'm afraid that tomorrow someone will change it again. If you think Indefinite Full Protection isn't right then I'd settle for Indefinite Semi-Protection. Thanks for your consideration Jarrett O'Hearn (talk) 03:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC).
- Semi-protected. Full protection would be unnecessary and is usually not granted for userpages. SoWhy 07:31, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protect. Daily IP vandalism. Unreferenced information is placed in the article, I searched myself for references that could proof the information he/she put in but can't find references for the information. It's always the same informatiom from always a different IP-address, I suspect it is always the same man with a lot of imagination. Mariah-Yulia (talk)

Semi-protection. Temporary protection and reversion due to persistent addition of unsourced material, probably by the schoolchildren served by the subject of the article, probably as a part of a project. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:19, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
List of Prime Ministers of Spain (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
temporary semi-protection. IP user is messing with the page table layout and repeatedly ignoring requests to look at the talk page and discuss the changes to the existent layout before enacting wide-ranging changes. The IP user is not really to blame, as it was User:Onlyonetime who originally "destroyed" the layout, removing not only the pictures but also a recently added timeline. However, the IP user edited that version of the page, and when I tried to undo the changes to the layout by reverting to before Onlyonetime's edits, the IP user just re-reverted and went on his way. I asked him to look at the talk page, but he reverted once more; and I don't want to break the 3RR. Habbit (talk) 20:46, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
- Declined, single IPs or newbies engaged in such behavior should be warned and/or reported to WP:AIV. SoWhy 08:05, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Larry Joe Doherty (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
temporary full protection A brand new wiki user has been removing sourced items from the Larry Joe Doherty page and giving no reason for doing so. These items are sourced, but yet this person has removed them at least three times in the last 24 hours. Its seems likely they are a political worker for his campaign. Request the page be locked and no new edits allowed until after the election is over on Wednesday. Thank you. OddibeKerfeld (talk) 20:17, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
- Declined, give him a final vandalism warning and/or WP:3RR warning, then report to WP:AIV or WP:AN3 if they continue. SoWhy 08:27, 4 November 2008 (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.
John McCain (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
and Barack Obama (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Today's featured article's should not be fully protected except IN EXTREMIS (and then only as long as required to deal with the problem) and certainly should not be protected pre-emptively. Protecting these pages is against the core principle of Wikipedia - "The Free Encyclopedia anyone can edit".
Failing that the articles should be removed as Today's Featured Article(s) forthwith and replaced with an unprotected article. Exxolon (talk) 03:31, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

The Amazing Race Asia 3 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
There was a problem about the additional tasks recently. Some users add the information about the additional tasks in the race which some users disagree that the information they added isn't a task, cause some of the edits regarding the additional tasks has been reversed and there have been some controversial between the users who thinks that additional tasks is a task "That Member should do before receiving the next clue" and the users who thinks the task "Which is not the Detour, Roadblock, Fast Forward, etc..." shouldn't be entered into the additional tasks list. (See the talk page for more details) The result are now in the talk page. Some users (Including me) now would like this page to be unprotected, in order to fix the task summary and definition of some tasks. Also, it will effect the updating of the page if the page still lock until Thursday (TARA 3 aired on Thursday) and the information will be one week old, which I and some users doesn't want it to be. Please make this page unprotected. Thank you. --Harley Hartwell (talk) 13:30, 3 November 2008 (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.

Falklands War (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Can this please be unprotected. This is not a content dispute, the original request was to protect the article from an IP vandal removing content and POV editing. The IP editor broke WP:3RR during that spree of editing, not to mention stomping all over WP:AGF, WP:NPOV and utterly ignoring WP:Consensus. The only reason a 3RR report was not filed was the IP vandal has used multiple IP addresses and a block seemed pointless. All editors want to do is restore the sourced content that was removed, and to re-add the source that had also been removed. It is very frustrating that the admins who've looked at this have not taken the time to realise that the IP vandalism's sole contribution to the talk page is to crow that the current locked version is his. Someone commented yesterday "Use the talk page and look for a consensus. If the IP editor refuses to participate, or is the only opposition, then you will have a consensus." Well, we have used the talk page, we have looked for consensus, he has refused to participate and he is the only opposition. Oh I'll grant you its an intelligent piece of vandalism, the first part of the edit looks quite reasonable (but in actually fact only adds a source to something already sourced) but the content removed further down is pure vandalism, not to mention separating a statement from its source, and then deleting it. A clever piece of POV editing by someone who knows how to game the system. Justin talk 21:25, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
