'''Unprotection:''' [[User:CambridgeBayWeather]], there was only one editor making a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Electronic_cigarette&diff=652021519&oldid=651994857 wholesale revert] back to an older version. The other editor [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Electronic_cigarette&diff=652076142&oldid=652076014 self-reverted]. I just noticed the editor was warned for the wholesale revert by [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ALevelledout&diff=652022041&oldid=641509758 admin] [[User:Mr. Stradivarius]]. I think it was a bit hasty for the protection since it was only one revert by one editor. There was not enough edit warring for full protection IMO. I don't think the same editor will revert back to an older version after being warning because the same editor [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Levelledout&diff=prev&oldid=652024633 accepted that it was not completely necessary to perform a wholesale revert]. 3 months protection is way too long. The last protection was for 3 months. That is a total of 6 months for page where there is currently active research in the field. At least reduce the protection to a week. There are [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Electronic_cigarette&curid=15087626&diff=651594236&oldid=651550059 several sources] being considered to improve the page.

"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

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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.

    Unprotection: For 3 months, no consenus?. 333-blue 13:07, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    We generally prefer unprotection requests go directly through the protecting admin (in this case Mike V) and only end up here if the protecting admin isn't active or isn't capable of lowering protecting (desysopping, blocks, etc.). Looking at the dispute, it doesn't seem to have been discussed very much and I'm not sure if the only thing preventing edit warring is the full protection. tutterMouse (talk) 13:30, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotection: Please unprotect this page because it is not getting vandalized know and will remain under supervision of me. I will put this article under my watchlist and revert the edits which are vandalizing the article. Superman403 (talk) 11:54, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotection: User:CambridgeBayWeather, there was only one editor making a wholesale revert back to an older version. The other editor self-reverted. I just noticed the editor was warned for the wholesale revert by admin User:Mr. Stradivarius. I think it was a bit hasty for the protection since it was only one revert by one editor. There was not enough edit warring for full protection IMO. I don't think the same editor will revert back to an older version after being warning because the same editor accepted that it was not completely necessary to perform a wholesale revert. 3 months protection is way too long. The last protection was for 3 months. That is a total of 6 months for page where there is currently active research in the field. At least reduce the protection to a week. There are several sources being considered to improve the page. QuackGuru (talk) 16:55, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Wikipedia:Edit requests
    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

    A rolling archive of the last seven days of protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive.
