Revision as of 04:07, 7 July 2010
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 |

Indefinite full protection Multiple IP socks of banned user blanking the page, A persistent sock is using multiple IP addresses, 71.213.116.225 (talk · contribs), 71.219.51.124 (talk · contribs), and 71.219.59.226 (talk · contribs) to blank the page WP:Account_suspensions/Jeff_Merkey. According to the latest sockpuppet investigation, and based on the behaviour of the IP's that were not yet actively socking, I am reverting the edits of the banned user per the blocking/banning policy. We can play this game back and forth over and over again, or the page in question could be protected and that would put an end to it. Pfagerburg (talk) 00:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- Fully protected. I did protect it but I also blanked it before doing that. The page contains his name, obviously, and it's likely the IP was him or related to him. When we see living people trying to blank harmful material about themselves, we're expected to be sympathetic to their concerns. There was nothing on the page that would be useful to admins anyway, so it's unclear why it exists. In fact I'm wondering if it should be deleted. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 03:30, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- I've deleted and salted as I can't see the point of it. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 03:35, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- The page existed for almost 5 years before a multi-headed IP sock (presumed to be the subject of the page) began to blank it repeatedly. Your deletion of the page has given a ban-evading IP sock exactly what it wanted, and essentially rewarded its editing in defiance of a ban. I respectfully disagree with your decision. Pfagerburg (talk) 03:45, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- We can't not do things just because it's a banned user who wants them done. :) We also have to follow the spirit of BLP. In addition, is there not a potential COI? I left a note on talk about it for you. In your own interests, it would make sense to let others deal with this. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 03:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- OK, I'll buy the WP:BLP angle. And I just finished my response to your note on my talk page. Pfagerburg (talk) 04:07, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Temporary full protection dispute, There is an ongoing content dispute between me and User:Yworo which is unfortunately becoming quite bitter - User:Gwen Gale protected it already once but deprotected it thinking the issue was settled. Even if I am involved in the dispute, I think that it is better to disallow me and Yworo again from editing the page until the issue is settled definitely on the talk page. The last version has been edited by me, but if you revert it and protect the previous edit by Yworo is obviously OK - as an act of good faith on my part. . Cyclopiatalk 00:16, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- Declined for now. As Gwen Gale has been dealing with this recently, I've left a note for her. It doesn't look so bad that urgent protection is needed. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 03:21, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection. No one should edit this page but me. –dffgd 22:46, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Done, though I'm not sure I see why. :) SlimVirgin talk|contribs 22:58, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Did you even look at the page? I guess you didn't need to in this case... Anyway, I want people to give me stuff like that on my talk page. I copy the awards/barnstars there myself afterwards. Even so, it's not too likely an IP is going to come along and give me a barnstar... :) –dffgd 23:03, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Now you'll never know. :D SlimVirgin talk|contribs 23:05, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Temporary full-protection More disputes. TbhotchTalk C. 22:44, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Agree. Single user reverts back to version that now lacks consensus. JFW | T@lk 22:50, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Fully protected for a period of 5 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 22:55, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Could we at least have this protected in the old consensus version, which was stable for a year and a half prior to the current edit war? JFD is also reverting to a version which lacks consensus, and per WP:BRD (which he himself suggested we follow[1]), it is the reverted version which we should keep until a new consensus is reached. — kwami (talk) 23:20, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

List of World Wrestling Entertainment employees (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Pending changes protection. When not protected, the article is a daily target for blatant vandalism. The article is currently under Semi-Protection and has been under it for some time now which prohibits many people from editing. Due to so many people desiring to edit it, I think the currently trialled "Pending Changes" protection is something that will be beneficial for the article. Feedback ☎ 03:11, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- Declined. I'm not keen on unprotecting articles to try out PC where the article has a long history of protection, especially where there are BLP issues as here, but any other admin should feel to review. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 03:24, 7 July 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.

Originally semi-protected by Tanthalas39 (talk · contribs) as a "target of socking", with a note to contact Tan or Collectonian (talk · contribs) before unprotecting, but both users appear to be no longer active. Was moved to Pending Changes protection last month by Prodego (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA), but that appears to have been just a procedural action. I see no reason for protection of this article; since being moved to Pending Changes protection two weeks ago, there has been one instance of vandalism from an IP, and one good edit from an IP. Nothing that can't be handled by normal editing. Powers T 15:07, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Note: Collectonian is now known as AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs). Might want to ask input from her first. Elockid (Talk) 15:15, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- And I was supposed to know this how? Asking. Powers T 15:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Anma is participating in the DramaOut, so I don't know if she will respond to my question before Saturday. Powers T 15:28, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- As a point of order, when this was sent to pending changes protection, the semi-protection was removed. So, what are you requesting done here? Courcelles (talk) 16:47, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry. Removal of Pending Changes protection is requested. Powers T 18:06, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It's currently PC1-protected, so vandalism gets rejected by reviewers. If there was more vandalism I'd consider semi but it seems reasonable at the moment. TFOWR 15:51, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

temporary semi-protection - there appears to be consistent changes for the nationality of one individual on this page.
