"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

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It might require an extension, but hopefully not. Relist if it does. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 23:13, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Protect. High risk template. Gnevin (talk) 22:47, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected indefinitely. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 23:00, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    This is probably a case for blocking rather than protecting, but I don't know how to request a block. An anonymous user at 82.127.52.21 keeps putting a NSFW image in the article. Another editor (Catgut) and I keep replacing the NSFW image with a SFW image.

    Declined — I've warned the user, so hopefully they will desist. However, apart from that IP, there isn't enough activity to justify semi-protection at this time. And for future reference, WP:AIV is the place to report vandals for blocking. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 23:08, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi protect. This is a very controversial Television Series in the UK and therefore is constantly Vandalised. Series from as long ago as 7 years ago are being vandalised. Before the start of the current series the current series article was Semi protected and it has been very useful with very little vandalism so may I ask for the main page, and all previous series to be Semi protected. Big Brother (UK), Big Brother 2000 (UK), Big Brother 2001 (UK), Big Brother 2002 (UK), Big Brother 2003 (UK), Big Brother 2004 (UK), Big Brother 2005 (UK), Big Brother 2006 (UK), Big Brother 2007 (UK), Celebrity Big Brother 2001 (UK), Celebrity Big Brother 2002 (UK), Celebrity Big Brother 2005 (UK), Celebrity Big Brother 2006 (UK), Celebrity Big Brother 2007 (UK), Teen Big Brother (UK), Big Brother Panto and Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack.

    Thank You. In23065 (talk) 22:33, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. PeterSymonds (talk) 22:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    The articles as a whole are constantly being vandalised daily, some pages differs from time to time, but as these series are over so there should be no real need to add anything to them. It would be a real help. We have been putting up with this for years. In23065 (talk) 22:44, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm sticking to my decision. A search through the pages reveal no red flags for me. Indeed, the IPs I noticed were actually helping build the article; fixing typos, etc. This is a wiki. Just because something is over, it doesn't mean it shouldn't be added to. Furthermore, now that the series is over, the vandalism is unlikely to increase. There is no need to protect at the moment. If another admin disagrees, then they may protect them without fear of wheel warring, but that is my judgement for now. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 22:55, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Well could you at least protect this page Big Brother 2004 (UK) and then i'll request other page when they get vandalised. In23065 (talk) 23:13, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of 5 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. Please note that protection can only practically occur when the page is subject to extreme and recent disruption, and not just when there is vandalism around. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 23:24, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank You. In23065 (talk) 23:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi protect. Somebody using at least two different IP addresses from the same range is repeatedly vandalizing Jessi Colter. In addition, they've also vandalized Waylon Jennings at least once, and a couple of album articles related to them. But the Jessi Colter article is the main target. Maybe a semi-protection for a while to make them go elsewhere? Corvus cornixtalk 22:08, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Torn on this one. On the one hand, there isn't a level of disruption that would equate to protection. On the other hand, there are no useful edits to the page in the recent history. I've warned the latest sockpuppet, but if another administrator wants to overturn this decision, they are welcome. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 22:13, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    temporary full protection Vandalism, Major ip vandalism..mauler90 (talk) 21:58, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 24 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. That should do it. The page has been the subject of significant disruption over the last 24 hours, but it's tagged as a hoax so I doubt the page will remain much longer. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 22:02, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for your help! --mauler90 (talk) 22:09, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    temporary semi-protection Vandalism, Can I get this protected, seems to be getting attacked pretty bad by anons and newly registered members? Thanks.——RyanLupin • (talk) 21:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Appears to be being attacked at this time, but I can't see why. Possible sockpuppetry. Longer protection wouldn't be appropriate, but the vandalism should stop after expiry. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    full protection , This newsletter has been delivered and this should be protected so no changes can be made after the delivery. .EE 21:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined It doesn't quite work like that; see WP:FULL. It has to be in response to vandalism. Furthermore, it would be understandable if it was transcluded onto hundreds of pages, but this shows that it is limited to a few users. Full protection is unnecessary at this time. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:54, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    full protection Dispute, A minor video game website's latest news on a possible review for the game is constantly being added despite the fact said information is not notable. Unsourced criticism, and non-NPOV information is also constantly being added by IPs and users alike. .K.H (talk) 21:29, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Not really an edit war, as there doesn't appear to be much reverting (except vandalism). Not really a content dispute, as there is no proper discussion on the talk page. Full protection would be premature at this time; if necessary, consider dispute resolution. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:42, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    temporary semi-protection Vandalism, IP user repeatedly re-inserting irrelevent, OR material despite clear talk page consensus against.

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Full protection unnecessary, but I assume that was a mistake with Twinkle. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    temporary semi-protection Vandalism, Page receiving a lot of IPs who are changing the future episode release dates..— Parent5446 ☯ (message email) 20:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Looking at the protection log, it seems this is an ongoing problem. PeterSymonds (talk) 20:26, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    'temporary semi-protection' Vandalism, IP vandalism due to the fact that people who are not registered are changing the canadian release date of the album. It's being vandalized by changing the canadian release date to July 1st, when in fact this date has been pushed back. See my previous edits of the article. I repeat, the album is not being released on July 1st in Canada. I have placed links to the New Releases section on Univesal Music Canada's website that further proves the fact that this album is not being released on July 1st. If the album was being released on July 1st in Canada it would be listed on that new releases page I listed -- see "History" of the article for more information and I also placed the link in there as well. Thanks, Xm2631(talk)]] 21:52, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Apart from the few vandalism edits that are occurring, there are also some very helpful IP edits. Taking those away reduces the unhelpful edits significantly. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 19:47, 1 July 2008 (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.

    68.4.176.68 (talk) left Wikipedia indefinitely and problems have been resolved. --75.47.139.146 (talk) 12:15, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotected PeterSymonds (talk) 13:28, 1 July 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.

    Already done. It was fulfilled by myself(Sorry, I was thinking of one of it's related subpages, not that it matters too much) earlier today. However, please note in the future that this is for urgent requests only. Ordinary requests should be kept at CAT:PER; as you can see, this page is often heavily backlogged!

    temporary semi-protection Vandalism, Over the past few days, this unreferenced BLP has been receiving vandalism that has gone unnoticed for some strange reason, and I had to edit the article twice myself even after using Huggle to get the vandalism out of it.

    Temporary semi-protection. In approx. 20 minutes from making this request, numerous ip vandal edits are expected as the winner of this series is announced.

    Semi-protect. After Saturday's episode of Doctor Who the page is being edited semi-frequently by anon-IPs -- with no citations or sources -- to indicate that David Tennant is leaving Doctor Who. (The Tenth Doctor article has already been semi-protected for much the same reason) The issue will sort itself out next Saturday when the cliffhanger is resolved; requesting semi-protection until then. -- Y|yukichigai (ramble argue check) 08:59, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Not really much activity at the moment. If it gets bombed with vandalism shortly before next Saturday then relist. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 09:02, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protect. This is for the same reason the article was protected two weeks ago. One guy with multiple IP accounts adds false information and reverts my copyedits.
