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 |

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Due to persistent reintroduction of patent nonsense/silly vandalism edits by the user Scania N113 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) using his IP 218.188.3.66 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) to do so. Please SPP this article page for three months, in the event that his account is indef and he resorts to his IP again. Thank you. Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 08:07, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

semi-protection vandalism, protection expired today, and IPs began adding unsourced speculative information again. Andrewlp1991 (talk) 06:26, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 07:26, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Rana Muhammad Iqbal Harna (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Temporary full protection, CSD tag removal. E Wing (talk) 06:24, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- Note: Page has been deleted by Ged UK. In future, bear in mind that a page will not be protected when only 1 editor is vandalising it - they should be reported at WP:AIV instead (I note that you warned them, which was the correct way of working on the problem). -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 07:23, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Banqiao Station (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Semi-protect. Frequent blanking and redirecting to Banciao Station by IP users, despite in-article sources confirming "Banqiao" spelling. Taiwantaffy (talk) 05:37, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It's not really frequent. Let me know if it picks up, and I'll reconsider, or bring it back here. GedUK 07:10, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Ni Hao, Kai-Lan (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
semi-protection vandalism, Constantly being vandalized by one single anonymous IP user. Vandalism just doesn't seem to want to stop. ShelltoonPedia (talk) 04:51, 29 April 2010 (UTC) (UTC)
- Declined The vast majority of the edits are by one IP. Be better to warn then block that IP via WP:AIV than protect the page. There are constructive IP and new user edits. GedUK 07:00, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Oprah Winfrey (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, Vandalism just will never stop. Protection last expired on the 25th, and IPs continue messing around here, on top of an extensive protection history dating back to 2006 with the same old protect-expire-reprotect cycle.

Eugene (given name) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Semi protection - there is one or more anonymous visitor who periodically adds content which has been repeatedly removed due to being demonstrably false. Example: [1] EAE (Holla!) 02:30, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It only happens occaisaionally. I'll add it to my watchlist to keep an eye on it. GedUK 06:44, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Salma Yaqoob (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Semi protection - This person is a high-profile candidate in the United Kingdom general election, 2010 which takes place on 6 May, there have been some edit wars going on over the addition of unsourced controversial material to her article. PatGallacher (talk) 14:07, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Clash 2010 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Semi-protection Since the end of its previous protection, several misinformation such as changing of ages have reoccurred as well as an edit war between and IP user and a registered user wherein the IP user clearly did not read the page notice against including profiles of the contestants as said in that article's talk page. The IP involved in edit war had already been warned, BTW. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 21:44, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Cirt (talk) 01:37, 29 April 2010 (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.
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.

Semi-protection vandalism The article is a candidate for speedy deletion due to WP:BLP1E but until it is deleted it is a major target for vandalism. Abc30 (talk) 15:37, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protect. High level of IP vandalism. --> Gggh talk/contribs 21:53, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

- Note: Been protected before Captain n00dle\Talk 21:19, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- Declined If the IP does it again, give another warning (I noticed that they have been warned already) and report to WP:AIV -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 21:25, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for the reply, but its not just one IP [2] [3] [4] and its over a long period of time. Captain n00dle\Talk 21:40, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- True, but those are in Feb and March. The only recent vandalism (i.e. in the last week) is the IP I referred to above. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 22:26, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protection - IP vandalism. SE KinG. User page. Talk. 20:51, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- Declined If it happens again, give the IP a warning (I notice this has not been done yet). This appears to be an edit dispute (over the format of the listing) - discuss it with the IP user. If necessary, take this to either dispute resolution or AIV -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 21:01, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Thomas More (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Full Protection An edit war has been going on for months between devout Protestants and Catholics who are using this page as their own ideological battleground. There have been constant attacks of vandalism by unregistered users, many of which who have already been banned only to appear under a new IP address. These constant attacks of vandalism and insertions of highly dubious material are undermining all the efforts of serious, registered editors to improve this page and maintain a NPOV. FoxOfBerlin (talk) 20:48, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- Declined Several of the IP edits recently have been undoing vandalism by other IPs. I would recommend warning/reporting the true vandalising IPs to WP:AIV -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 21:07, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
