"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.

    indefinite semi-protection Vandalism, The IPs have been having a field day here lately for some reason...please help! (This is a perennial target, btw--between the "...iz teh suck" crowd and those who INSIST that Caillou's baldness is due to cancer, most edits are either vandalism or reverts. A long semi would be great...).Gladys J Cortez 06:51, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinte Semi-Protection - Requsting protection as part of the uw-block series and the TFD debate was closed as no consensus. --75.47.150.229 (talk) 06:39, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinte Semi-Protection - Requesting protection as part of the uw-warning series. --75.47.150.229 (talk) 06:37, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect or Full-protect This article was deleted on July 3, 2008 and was again created by User:Cartoonzaq the following day. I redirected the article to Spirit in the Dark (Lindsay Lohan album), but was again removed by IPs. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 05:47, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protect. High level of IP removal of content. Check the page history and see. There've been massive abuses, most probably by a single user who accuses Indians/Hindus and even had a version which insulted Indians/Hindus. However, all info has been sourced and has been explained to the user before, to no avail. 118.100.212.111 (talk) 04:32, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    full protection A user blanked the page several times, claiming it to be incorrect terminology. It's only a redirect-page created by a move though, so to avoid further problems, I think a full protection will be helpful as many articles still link there. --SoWhy Talk 22:57, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protect. Keeps getting vandalised/having the competition spoiled by IP addresses. They do it bit by bit so it's a hassle to undo as well. --Kegzz (talk) 22:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    temporary semi-protection Vandalism, unprotected template that is used on main page article..Onorem♠Dil 21:03, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk - Contribs) 07:28, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary Semi-protection. Vandalism. Also Republican Party's page is Semi-protected, therefore the Democratic page should get equal protection from vandalism MyNameIsKyle (talk) 20:16, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined - That redirect has no vandalism history. Now if you're meaning Democratic Party (United States), decline because there isn't enough recent vandalism and we don't protect just because their counterpart's page is. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk - Contribs) 07:15, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    two week semi-protection Long-term edit warring across many of the Tisdale articles, including

    We finally managed to get the registered editors that were trying to force these extremely large, fannish, and unreferenced versions into place to stop, and now anonymous IPs have taken up the charge.
    Kww (talk) 19:18, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection. Attempts have been made to remove the article from AfD consideration. I would prefer to keep the AfD status in place until the process runs its course. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 18:52, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    The AfD discussion is still listed via WP:AFD. If anything, removing the AfD tag hurts the prospects of the article being deleted. I'm not sure this kind of issue warrants protection of the page - especially if it could prevent improvement while the AfD is ongoing. —C.Fred (talk) 18:57, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It was actually removed from the AfD slate by the article's author[1]. I put it back. Thanks. Ecoleetage (talk) 19:00, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined - There are zero IP edits in the history, so a semi-protect wouldn't do anything. Full protection does not look to be necessary, just revert and warn if afd tag removal persists. VegaDark (talk) 03:23, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Full protection. Edit war. Propagandist and unencyclopedic edit by certain user named Satyajit Nayak by putting in P.O.V, WP:SS, WP:OR material on Wiki :--Dipu (talk) 18:29, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Full protection Edit war for a long time.--Namsos (talk) 17:55, 4 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.

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

    Request unprotection of User_talk:Ravichandar84 so that I can reply to his messages Sindhian (talk) 07:36, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    This template redirects to Template:Uw-soablock so template protection is not needed. --75.47.150.229 (talk) 06:43, 5 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.

    To create functionality for a new project task force; as per the diff on the talk page. Thanks! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 07:31, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    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! Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 15:59, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Fulfilled/denied requests

    Template:Terry Ananny

    Requesting unprotection edit wars and posting of information that is incorrect by editors wanting to remove article - such as concensus for article "to keep" in deletion review was overturned by editors and/or administrators. Article was deleted based on incorrect information that "to keep" came from one user - when infact that was incorrect. All talk page postings trying to save the article were deleted. The article had been listed on Wikipedia since 2006. As well the article disappeared from lists and categories - again talk pages were ignored by editors/administrators.Jane Rushmore (talk) 17:20, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined - This template does not exist and has never existed, therefore there is nothing to unprotect. Feel free to re-request with the proper title. VegaDark (talk) 22:55, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected Until July 20th. VegaDark (talk) 22:45, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    temporary semi-protect. No matter how much warnings I added as of other editors put in the page about un-cited information, IP addresses keep re-added speculation to the page and deleting what the editors cited and researched to improve the article. There is a discussion on the talk page but none of the IP's wanna discuss it and just keep vandalizing the info even if its cited they delete it and post their own. --҉ რɫՒ◌§ 9¤ ॐ 21:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected Until September 1st. Indefinite semi-protection is very rare, and since the article had never been protected before, I did not feel that was necessary. VegaDark (talk) 22:40, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
