"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    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

    Current requests for protection

    Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Medium term semi-protection. Anonymous IP-shifter (71.98.*.*) keeps pushing badly sourced original research into article, ignoring talk page consensus, and leaving derogatory remarks on talk page. Article was fully protected by SarekOfVulcan a few days ago, sadly leaving the article in "wp:the wrong version", hence this request to semi-protect. See also ANI-notice Pushing original research beyond 3RR and an overview of the IP's at User talk:DVdm#FYI.

    Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated. Breawycker (talk to me!) 17:04, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary Semi-protection. High level of IP vandalism. Truthsort (talk) 17:01, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect for five days. Multiple changes to who is/isn't a companion in this forthcoming episode without supporting citations. Semi-protection until Sunday (the day after broadcast) should allow a proper post-broadcast consensus on the four characters in quesion to be established without the inevitable edit wars. U-Mos (talk) 16:09, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Seems to have been a recent target of vandalism from multiple IPs/unconfirmed accounts. Logan Talk Contributions 16:07, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – a few months would be good imo - since the article became unprotected five days ago - the vandalism and BLP violations have returned on a daily basis. It could be indefinite semi protection for what chance there is of the described violations ever stopping if unprotected. Off2riorob (talk) 15:30, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 15:42, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Not sure if this is frequent enough for protection, but it's getting annoying to have to keep reverting this. Slow-motion edit warring to insert hoax/prank information by multiple IPs [1] [2] [3] SheepNotGoats (talk) 15:22, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm looking for an uninvolved administrator to take over and lengthen a semi-protection I have placed per WP:IAR/WP:BAN. Drop a note on my talk page if you want further information. Thanks, NW (Talk) 19:55, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Checking to see if protection is necessary. Finding out details. m.o.p 21:12, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    See User talk:NuclearWarfare#Abortion. NW (Talk) 15:01, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    There is ample precedent for indefinite semi protection on perpetually contentious articles like this (Muhammad and List of common misconceptions come immediately to mind). I would have set it that way if NW hadn't stepped in first. ~Amatulić (talk) 15:37, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – multiple vandalisms over the last week. Karl 334 ☞TALK to ME ☜ 14:54, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated. Breawycker (talk to me!) 14:33, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Already done. Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 15:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    User talk:FleetCommand (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

    Temporary semi-protection: An IP user with a dynamic IP of range 85.127.*.* constantly trolls in my talk page after I and User:SudoGhost warned him not to remove maintenance tags without a good reason. He also takes side with User:Gilabrand which was blocked by ARBCOM. Fleet Command (talk) 13:34, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Suddenly popular with anon IPs. JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 11:02, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GedUK  11:39, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The same user keeps on recreating the page after deletion. The person described in the page is not of any interest to WikiPedia atm. Mbch331 (talk) 10:26, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Creation protected GedUK  11:35, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: There have been a number of attempts to whitewash this article of the sexual assault section, usually from IP's. ˜danjel[ talk | contribs ] 08:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Favonian (talk) 09:42, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 09:22, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection. Possibility of vandalism is now gone you may allow constructive users to edit the page. Alex discussion ★ 07:53, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined It's not clear to me how the possibility of vandalism can be gone. There is always that possibility, and this is a very obvious target, transcluded on more than 6000 pages. Furthermore, the number of edit requests on the talk page doesn't indicate a pressing need for lowering the protection level to semi. Favonian (talk) 09:57, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – As with other BLP articles relating to various members of the Kardashian/Jenner family, this one has been semi-pp'd before and is a magnet for IP vandalism and BLP violations. Please can the semi-pp be reinstated. Sitush (talk) 07:32, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 10:01, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection. Persistent level of article vandalism. Cmguy777 (talk) 06:22, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 09:07, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – same bunch as below. The Interior (Talk) 04:34, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Looks like the attacks have subsided. Favonian (talk) 09:32, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Co-ordinated multi-user effort. The Interior (Talk) 04:24, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP reversions indicate sockpuppeting. Binksternet (talk) 01:51, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Qwyrxian (talk) 07:13, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Permanent semi-protection. High profile target, many transclusions, you know the drill. Skomorokh 01:03, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm going to let another admin handle this...I looked back at a bunch of other Signpost transclusions, and they don't seem to have been semi-protected. Is this one special somehow? Qwyrxian (talk) 06:07, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined I don't think it's a very high target. It's a bit beansy to protect just this one. If the editors think they'll need protection going forward, I guess we can reavaluate. GedUK  11:38, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    Shortcuts

    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.

    Unprotect or change to semi-protect. Protected since March. Any issues should have blown over by now. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 12:53, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Shortcut

    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.

    Talk:The Dating Guy (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

    Please, replace the: {{goaway}} {{WikiProject Television|class=stub|importance=low}} {{WikiProject Comedy|class=stub|importance=low}}

    with:

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Constant IP vandalism, messing about with the single's cronology, length of the song, who wrote the song, saying Lavigne is credited as a guest vocalist, changing the genres. It's getting tiresome having to undo vandalism on this page all the time. Calvin • NaNaNaC'mon! 00:47, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Qwyrxian (talk) 07:00, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Permanent Semi-protect. High level of IP vandalism. Arjuncodename024 00:30, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I only see a few recent IP edits, and those are being done for a clear, specific reason (IP claims info is duplicated in lead, a claim which is unclear but seems like it could be true). Please discuss; if IP is hopping and refuses to discuss, please return and we can semi-protect to force a dialogue. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:04, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPS keep recreating article after being told not to, not notable yet, please protect for 1-2 weeks --ChristianandJericho 00:25, 20 September 2011 (UTC). ChristianandJericho 00:25, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 12 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. That keeps it protected until the day the event occurs, which should be sufficient. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:59, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
