Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

"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.

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 protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Transit (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

semi-protection. Indef-blocked user repeatedly using IPs to evade his block and add commercial messages to this article. See Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Transitguru. A recent one-week semi-protection was effective in stopping the spamming, but he waited it out and came back for more. Another option here would be a rangeblock, but it seems like the range of IP addresses available to the user is slowly growing--a longer semi-protection of this article might be the least harmful way to stop the vandalism.

Electrical sensitivity (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

semi-protect. Anonymous IP user persistently reverting this article over a long period of time against consensus through the TOR open proxy. Many of the IP's used have subsequently been banned by wikipedia for being TOR open proxy IP's or for vandalism. Integrity of the article has been completely diminished by constant reverts. 13 TOR IP's used by this user since March 1st. Many requests for the user to discuss reverts on talk, or provide rationale of any kind have fallen on deaf ears. Randomized (talk) 11:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Serbs of Croatia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Full protection. Article has been put under semi-protection by administrator Jossi on 15 March 2008 because of vandalism from SPA account Mike Babic and IP address. Old user Jesuislafete has after that reverted vandalism edits but in doing that she has reverted semi-protected tag. Seeing that mistake I have returned semi-protected tag, but it has not worked or SPA account Mike Babic has reverted so that he can edit. Maybe I am mistaking but if he has deleted semi-protection tag he need to be blocked. On other place I will demand his blocking because of insults on my talk page during time when he has been blocked because of 3RR [1] --Rjecina (talk) 10:28, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Current requests for unprotection

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 significant 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.

Declined I'm not inclined to salt; the content's been different and something could turn up. It's not like it's been speedied 5 times in 10 minutes, that would obviously warrant salting.
