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 This article is always a magnet for constant IP vandalism. This was Cbrown1023's reason for semi-protecting it on April 10, and Mr.Z-man's reason on September 9. Now the semi-protection has expired again, and already there have been [1], [2], [3] instances of vandalism by IPs within 24 hours of the protection expiring (amidst some malicious page moves as well). I'd like to request semi-protection yet again, for a long time, if not indefinitely, because it's quite clear that this is a magnet for vandalism. -- Reaper X 03:03, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Patrick Alexander (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Semi-protection This page is a former disambig page which is now a redirect to Patrick Young Alexander following an article's deletion. An anon IP user is now constantly trying to recreate a new version of the deleted article at this page. Request protection (ideally for two weeks or more) to both protect the article it redirects to, and prevent the constant recreation of deleted articles. Talk is here.219.112.189.202 02:17, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- I created a new article on Patrick Alexander because I have found previously unavailable sources that show this cartoonist has been the subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. They are reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. This constitutes notability according to Wikipedia guidelines. 203.220.12.198 02:47, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I've actually done this before, and the guy was blocked and I was told to come here if he starts up again. Well, he's started up again. For those not involved previously. I've been under attack for a very long time from this one fellow who was upset because he couldn't use the "colour" spelling in some articles. Since then he has vandalized both of my pages, spammed me on MSN, and even my deviantArt page. Well, I've blocked him on the latter, and it'd be nice if I could do something similar here. I've gone and reverted his last edit, but I can assure there will be others. My request is for indefinite semi protection, or something to stop IPs like this from vandlaizing my page. I'm really REALLY sick of it now.GrandMasterGalvatron 21:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- I see this has been here for a while. I would just like to know what's going on. Thanks.GrandMasterGalvatron 03:23, 1 October 2007 (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 significant 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.
