"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
    this header: view • edit


    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.

    Temp semi protection Continuous page deletion and vandalism. Razorflame 01:57, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. · AndonicO Engage. 02:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    indefinite move-protection , Suggest indefinite sysop-only page-move protection due to page move vandalism. No need to move this article so protection should not be a problem here. Also on top of that after the fact temporary semi-protection would be a good idea after that is done. Thank you..Cirt (talk) 01:57, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Done · AndonicO Engage. 01:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh well I had actually requested for the move-protect to be for sysops only - hopefully the autoconfirmed level will be okay for the time being. Cirt (talk) 02:01, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Autoconfirm would have covered the past two moves (only two moves in the past five hundred edits), so I think it should be enough. · AndonicO Engage. 02:05, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    indefinite create-protection , I wish that this page be marked for protection because it is an article in the works. The article lists species of bamboo, and since there are well over 1000 species, it may take a while. Until the article is completed I say it should be marked for protection..Remilo (talk) 01:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. · AndonicO Engage. 01:37, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protection , Continued addition of speculation, unannounced information, and vandalism by IP's. Protect for at least a week..SRX--LatinoHeat 00:34, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. · AndonicO Engage. 01:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-Protection Recent edits changing page to state the actor has died. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.13.125 (talk • contribs)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. This article hasn't been edited since 2004... maybe check the spelling? · AndonicO Engage. 01:33, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Done Sorry, I was looking at a double-redirect, already protected. · AndonicO Engage. 01:34, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected - 4 days, by then the "predictions" will be over & done with, we hope ;) SkierRMH (talk) 01:36, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Full protection. Article has been hijacked a few times during the past days by Thomassampson (talk · contribs) and/or 77.96.94.222 (talk · contribs). It's more than likely it'll happen again.  Channel ®   00:02, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect IP editor has been oversighted a number of times in the past few weeks. Need about 2 weeks of semi-protect to get them to move along. --DHeyward (talk) 23:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected by Viridae (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) Tiptoety talk 01:07, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Long time semi-protect a lot of ongoing vandalism. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 23:23, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Tiptoety talk 23:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    indefinite semi-protection Vandalism, STILL lots of anonymous vandalism, this really needs to be protected, this is like my 5th time submitting this page and each time it has been declined protection even though tons of anonymous IP users seem they like to vandalise the page.- -[The Spooky One] | [t c r] 23:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Tiptoety talk 23:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Full protection to article short term. Disputants need to stop reverting and discuss changes. Also to document them. I will try to provide discussion format. May wind up in mediation anyway, but we need to start somewhere and disputants have shown that they are capable of dialoging. They just aren't doing enough of it nor focused over the past week or so. Student7 (talk) 23:02, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: I've given them each a 3RR warning; since it's early in the edit war, I'm unwilling to protect the page. · AndonicO Engage. 01:53, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Oops... "early in the edit war" is quite incorrect; I've protected it for four weeks. · AndonicO Engage. 01:54, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi protection. Over the last three months the article has been repeatedly vandalized by anonymous users. Of the 50 most recent edits, 13 (26%) are vandalism reverts alone, with even more being attributed to actual vandals (approx. 35-40%) which may or may not be repeat offenders.

    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.

    Italicize Ran. And don't say "declined" before you actually understand that first sentence. --Bem-Lobo (talk) 12:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined This should have been an {{editprotected}} request. - Rjd0060 (talk) 14:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for significant 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.

    The page contains a highly offensive paragraph, which cannot be substantiated. In addition, the paragraph in question contradicts information from other Wikipedia articles and reliable sources.

    Therefore, I request that the page be unprotected to enable the removal of the offending paragraph. I have explained why the paragraph is offensive under Talk:History_of_Vietnam#Disputed_paragraph. 122.105.151.167 (talk) 12:19, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Done for now; further discussion should go to the talk page link above. PeterSymonds (talk) 12:45, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Requesting un-protection or downgrade Previous edit wars to article were caused by sockpuppet users, who have all been permanently banned.
