    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

    Temporary Full Protection. Potentially politically-motivated vandalism committed by a user "Carbonpenguin" to the Bank Transfer Day page. One claim is made without citation ("The location of the Facebook event was initially set as 'Occupy Wall St.,'"), and I could not independently locate any references on the Internet validating this assertion. The next assertion ("Occupy Wall Street participants supported the effort") is claimed to be backed by a reference pointing to the Salt Lake Tribune, but this reference does not make any mention of this assertion in the article body. Importantly, the user added text referencing Occupy Vermont, and the name "Carbonpenguin" is also used by a YouTube account associated directly with the Occupy Vermont movement, rendering the recent edits in violation of Wikipedia terms of use on partiality. If another established and independent wikipedia user can find justified citations for the assertions with links e.g. Wayback Machine or assertions which have not already been disavowed, then the references should be re-included. However, since there's no reference that I could find and since the assertion has no reference listed, I've reverted the changes manually.

    As this may have something to do with an event hosted by the Consumer Cooperative Management Association on June 6-8, I'm requesting protection through June 15. Eganist (talk) 02:47, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    This is a link to my reverts so that any subsequent changes don't accidentally get locked in. Eganist (talk) 02:50, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Edit: After reading the different levels of protection, Pending changes level 2 appears to be less strict while still adequately protecting the page (allowing a reviewer to add or confirm changes after properly validating changes). This level of protection may also be sufficient, though full protection would be less prone to error and might let whatever this is blow over with some time. Eganist (talk) 13:09, 11 May 2013 (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 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
