Revision as of 13:34, 22 March 2008

"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.


    Semi-protect- repeated vandalism and disruption from hundreds of Ips belonging to the banned user Grawp attempting to remove the ANI thread reguarding himself. AndreNatas (talk) 13:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protect. Repeatedly vandalised by two or three users. Cls14 (Talk) 12:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 12:55, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protect. BLP of radio DJ. Apparently he has asked listeners to add "fun facts" to his page. Lots of IP edits in last couple of days adding nonsense. Escape Orbit (Talk) 10:02, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 10:38, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection There have been some repeated vandalism on this article over the last few days from anonymous users, as well as a bit of an edit war over the date of birth. A few weeks of semi-protection should calm things down.
    St Fan (talk) 08:02, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Carlosguitar (ready and willing) 08:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:George W. Bush (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

    semi-protection Why isn't it protected in the first place? If it is about George W. Bush, then it will probably need protection. Footballfan190 (talk) 07:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. With the article semi-protected, anons can propose edits on the talk page. Also, there are probably quite a few people watching the article (and thus the talk page), so vandalism should be quickly dealt with, and with little impact on those who watch it. —EncMstr 07:31, 22 March 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.

    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.

    Fulfilled/denied requests

    semi-protect. An anonymous editor editor always adds a factually incorrect military conflict infobox. I tried searching the web to see if there are factual basis for his edits and there is none. I’ve been a Spratly geek for a long time already and I’ve never heard the conflict. I added a {{fact}} tag on a corresponding section he created that discusses the supposedly real conflict. However, I feel that having the infobox is too much especially because he adds forces which are not claimant to the Spratlys, like North Korea and Indonesia., further worsening the factual accuracy of what he is saying. I propose that this article be protected for 1 month. eStaRapapax xapaparatse! exsatpaarpa! 04:26, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 06:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    temporary semi-protection Vandalism, An anon has been inserting the same incorrect information for several days now. They ignored the comment I placed in the article. Warning and blockings would do no good, as a different IP address has been used every time (though it's clearly the same person, as every address is 209.94.212.XX). Request semi-protection for a week or two until they lose interest. Thanks.faithless (speak) 16:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Why not use range blocking? --Thinboy00 @745, i.e. 16:52, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I feel a rangeblock would potentially have a more negative impact than protecting the article. I don't want one bad apple to prevent any helpful anonymous editors from editing. :) faithless (speak) 16:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Already protected. by User:Rodhullandemu « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 05:03, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Not that it matters, but I eventually had to go to the admin noticeboard, as this request sat here unanswered for ten hours. It wasn't exactly "already protected." :) faithless (speak) 05:25, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected after ten hours of careful thought by User:Rodhullandemu, better? :P haha « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 05:58, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    Long time semi protect heavy anon vandalism. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 05:00, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 05:14, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protect. Popular target for IP vandals. --SJK (talk) 04:57, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 05:12, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protect again. High level of vandalism from IPs. The fallout from his comment on Conan O'Brien hasn't cleared up yet. EnviroboyTalkCs 04:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 05:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protect for 1 week. Enforcing consensus at COI/N. Wulf (talk) 19:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: I don't see that there is any consensus to protect the page; the only comment in reference to protection is your own, saying you're bringing the page here. Hersfold (t/a/c) 01:42, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined No consensus that I can see. Not enough recent activity either. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 05:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection request do to daily anonymous deletions of material with no reason attached. Could be a possible sock puppet attack. I'm trying to avoid an edit war.--Jober14 (talk) 18:37, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. A lot of editing, but not really that many that are marked as vandalism. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 05:05, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    Unprotect. Another editor created the page Mech Quest and I have cleaned up to the video game project's standards. I would like to now move Mech Quest to MechQuest. --Eruhildo (talk) 20:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotected —Travistalk 20:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    Semi-protection {indefinitely if possible). Article is being repeatedly edited, and reverted by Anonymous users over the inclusion of Seung-Hui Cho of the Virginia Tech massacre infamy, and Michael Kennedy being included as Notable Alumni of the school. Many discussions have been made regarding this decision, and essentially, if they are taken out, they it would qualify as being against WP:Neutral Point of View. I'm going to put a Frequently Asked Questions on the Talk Page, but frankly, I'd like the anonymous users to stop. Also, the Virginia Tech massacre 1st anniversary is coming up, and me and my colleague are expecting vandalism until after the anniversary. Any help is greatly appreciated. Zidel333 (talk) 19:03, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Only one IP and he said he'll stop. -- Alexf42 02:40, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    I am requesting semi=protection for the article, which has had persistent vandalism and blanking from anonymous users. lonestarblogger and valkyrie88 have also made blanket reversions. Attempts to mediate and discuss have been met with silence. Discussion is still invited, as are responsible edits.--Natcase (talk) 23:52, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. - This appears to be a simple content dispute which should be worked out on the article talk page. —Travistalk 01:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Umm, the person (or persons) who keep reverting and blanking have never visited the talk page despite repeated requests for over a week for him/her/them to do so. Please reconsider, or advise how to proceed with a content dispute where one party does not respond to requests to discuss on the talk page, and persists in blanking the page from anonymous accounts.--Natcase (talk) 02:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    temporary semi-protection Vandalism, Checked the last 250 diffs, from my analysis, in overall picture of the edits by anon users have mostly been vandalism..NanohaA'sYuriTalk, My master 01:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Hersfold (t/a/c) 01:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    temporary semi-protection vandalism by a range of IPs Cunard (talk) 01:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. —Travistalk 01:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    I am requesting semi-protection, as this article is under heavy vandalism by 41.233.8.175. He has been blocked for 24 hours, but I would like this page to have 7 days protection. MalwareSmarts (talk) 21:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    User User:41.233.8.175 has been reported to AIV and is going to be blocked. Page is now on my watchlist. --Lolipod (talk) 21:47, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - Maybe with the semi prot, the IP will get bored and stop vandalizing the article. —Travistalk 01:02, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Hopefully. Or he will vandalize other articles until this is unlocked. MalwareSmarts (talk) 01:33, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    full-protect. For now this should be protected as it is being used for the talk pages of the sandboxes. Wikipedia talk:About the Sandbox#Which headers to use? 209.244.43.112 (talk) 20:21, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: I see no reason to protect it as from what I can tell, there has never been a problem with disruptive editing to this template. I won't decline, however, and will let other admins comment. - Rjd0060 (talk) 20:55, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined Last edit was over three months ago. Protection is not necessary at this time, and the message that appears on that page should be enough to ward off most people. Hersfold (t/a/c) 01:37, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection Article is a target of Indef blocked User:Beh-nam currently editing using the IP adress 65.93.219.52 semi protection should prevent him editing. - dwc lr (talk) 18:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment: This user is breaking the rules and harassing me (Wikipedia:Harassment) as there is no evidence whatsoever that I am Beh-nam. dwc lr is removing sourced content from that article which he has no right to do according to WP:Vandalism and WP:Good faith.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.219.52 (talk • contribs)
    Already protected. by User:EncMstr. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 01:41, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    Unprotect. There has been lots of new chart facts, reviews, history, and other news that should be added to this article. This Madonna song has been getting lots of attention lately, and lots needs to be updated.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.236.18.255 (talk • contribs)

    Declined The protection will end in 3 days or so, then feel free to edit the article. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 01:51, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
