Current requests for protection
Place requests for semi-protection, full protection, move protection, or create protection at the TOP of this section. Check the list of denied requests if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Aquatic ape hypothesis (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Bunch of kids engaged in a pissing contest. Full protection should give them time to properly discuss this on the talk page. . Biker Biker (talk) 10:10, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Fully protected Vsmith (talk) 10:22, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Current requests for unprotection
If you simply want to make spelling corrections or add information to a protected page that is not disputed, and you are not involved in any disputes there, consider simply adding {{Editprotected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. See the list of current {{Editprotected}} requests.
If you want an existing page unprotected, please try to ask the protecting admin first before making a request here.
Check here 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 {{Editprotected}}, {{Editsemiprotected}} or {{Request edit}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here.
- If the discussion page and the article are both locked, this project page is the right place to request an edit. If you can, please use the {{la|article name}} template to describe the article you wish changed at the start of your request.

Semi-protection I'm surprised no one has actually requested for this page to receive protection. Paris Hilton, Tila Tequila, and Natalie Portman all have. Taking a look at the edit history, too many anonymous IPs come in and add their own bits. It seems nothing in the article stays as is. ★Dasani★ 02:33, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Or whatever kind of protection deters SPAs. User:Diroc2, who I believe also operates the sock accounts User:Accumindlong, User:Diroc, and User:Bdjim, each with one edit to their name to the same article, appears to have some ownership issues and is continually block-reverting back to an outdated version of the page originally written by a sock of the banned editor User:ChronicalUsual, overwriting my efforts and the efforts of other editors to clean up, reorganize, and update the content. None of these accounts have made any edits off this single page. Diroc2 has ignored my repeated entreaties to discuss on Talk. Due to the persistence of the SPAs here, some form of protection seems warranted. -Kudzu1 (talk) 19:08, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Declined For now. As stated above, Semi-protection probably wouldn't do much. However, I have opened an SPI on 3 of the editors, as they seem to almost certainly be the same person. Once we figure out if this is 1 or 3 people (and, if the former, get them to work on just one account), we can strongly encourage them to go to the talk page, and block if they don't. If this does get worse, feel free to inform me on my talk page and I'll look at it again. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:44, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

I want to be able to help the wiki succeed, and I am a rollback on another wiki, so I have some experience. Hello, I'm a Wikipedian! (talk) 23:17, 9 March 2012 (UTC)- (Non-administrator observation) I have found one (1) undo edit in you last 500 edits and that was to your own edit. Here with this wiki or any other Wikimedia project user rights from other projects carry little weight anywhere else. I suggest using Twinkle and patrolling Recent Changes for awhile and gain some experience here and establish a track record for Admin's to judge by and then request again. Thanks for all you do.

I come across far too many DSC files, or very generic filenames that I often find myself saying "I'd get that moved... but that will wreck my train of thought".

- Reason for requesting confirmed rights BarkyTreats (talk) 03:03, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm simply fed up with STUPID errors littered around the website. This is the first time I have ever created an account, and I really wish I made one sooner. I find myself anonymously making revisions to articles, but recently came across a locked article that I was not able to edit. I'm still not able to edit it despite me being here with an account.
Thanks for any help.
EDIT: Specifically http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manute_Bol and command + f "field goal" ... seriously?

- The article you are creating, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Al Borda, is not ready at this point. It has no references and has a lot of promotional language in it. The promotional language is probably because you have a conflict of interest and your job is to promote him. Can you please explain why you are requesting confirmed rights, you don't need them to continue working on that article? GB fan 14:52, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

- I see an article called The World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates that looks like a copy/paste creation, rather than a move from your sandbox. It's clearly not quite ready for Wikipedia mainspace. By the time the article meets the manual of style, and you compare it to WP:FIRSTARTICLE, you will likely be autoconfirmed (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 10:23, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

- Before confirming your account we need some additional information. First, what is the copyright status of the images you want to upload? I guess that the logo is probably copyrighted. Next, throughout your request you keep saying we, how many people will be accessing this account? GB fan 18:00, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
- Sir the logo having copyright with RPSC so there is no issue in this regard. Secondly only one administrator for updating the contents on this account but there would be multiple users if you provide necessary permission. Please allow me to upload the logo and other pictures etc

- There isn't currently an article, Lagos Biennial in Wikipedia. You do not need to be confirmed to create the article. Before creating it though you should make sure that the festival meets our notability guidelines. If it is going to happen it probably doesn't meet the guidelines. Is there some other reason you are asking for confirmed rights? GB fan 17:52, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Not done You may have the order of things mixed around. First, you create a WP:USERSPACEDRAFT of the article, keeping in mind the guidance at WP:FIRSTARTICLE. After you have verified that it is ready for articlespace, it can be moved. Images that meet our strict usage policy can then be added, but not before then. By the time the article you plan to work on is ready to go live, you should have a good grasp of policy, and you'll likely also be autoconfirmed!

The files that I want to upload are non-free files, and I'm quite certain that they will pass Non-free content criteria. I would be uploading book covers, posters of new bollywood films, etc. I also know that non-free files should not be orphaned, as they will be deleted.

Not done Hi, and thank you for creating an account to edit Wikipedia. Although I fully understand your desire to dive right in, many of our articles are semi-protected because they are controversial, prone to vandalism, or other reasons. As a new editor with few edits, it might be wise to discuss your edits on the article talkpage in order to gain consensus for your edits, or use {{Edit semi-protected}} to request the edit be performed. I only recommend this until you're used to the challenges of reliable sources, the biographies of living persons policy, and other similar things. The good news is that fewer than 5% of Wikipedia articles are protected; this means that 95% of the articles can use your help right now! (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 09:48, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
