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 |

Full protection: This page has been subject to near-constant edit warring by multiple parties for over a year. The dispute recent spilled over to WP:ANI#1990'sguy but seems no closer to resolution. I suggested protecting the page in the ANI thread and it was supported by several other editors. I'd do it myself but I'm involved. – Joe (talk) 06:47, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- Note: I had a brief look and will for the time being comment that the reading of the ANI thread seems to be essential here. Without it, I do not see the need to full protect. I might do it myself later (I am not involved in any way), or anybody else is welcome to take the decision.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:20, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- Now I had a look at the ANI as well, and I do not see anything resembling consensus there for full protection (as also noted by the closer, Swarm). I do not think at this point the article would benefit from the full protection, as there is no permanent disruption. I understand that from time to time an edit causes a lot of reaction at the talk page and elsewhere, but I believe 1EE from discretionary sanctions would be a better way to administer this. Leaving this request formally open for some time, but if there is no reaction I (or someone else) will likely close it tomorrow.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:30, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think there was a consensus against protection either – it was just tangential to the subject of the thread. My understanding was therefore that any uninvolved administrator could place it at their discretion. However, I do agree a 1RR restriction would be more effective. – Joe (talk) 11:21, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Primary offender took up EW again without any talk page discussion.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Pretty much every edit on the page since June 2018 has either been vandalism or reversions of vandalism. Furthermore, the vandals are all IP numbers and red accounts, and they tend to do the same types of changes to content, which suggests sockpuppetry and that it's individuals affiliated with the Gatestone Institute who are doing the edits.

Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.
Handled requests
A rolling archive of the last seven days of protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive.
