    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

    Protection: I'm getting fed up of constantly being pinged as a result of edit warriors' readdition of links to Jasmine Thompson and Belmont Prisons. Launchballer 12:24, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Widr (talk) 12:39, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection Heavy vandalism from IP editors today. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 12:47, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Widr (talk) 13:43, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary pending changes: BLP policy violations – IPs and SPAs have repeatedly added the same unsourced roll call of a hundred gang members (including their real names) to the lede - potentially a massive BLP violation. McGeddon (talk) 14:09, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @McGeddon: I think there's some socking going on there too. Katietalk 15:00, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – This page has been semi-protected in the past. Recently, it's been the subject of vandalism and persistent sockpuppetry to add unsourced and factually incorrect certifications/chart rankings. Every single edit this month, so far, has been either vandalism or a reversion of vandalism. I'll leave it to an admin to decide whether semi-protection or pending changes is more appropriate, but some type of protection would be helpful. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Никита-Родин-2002/Archive. ~ RobTalk 14:52, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Katietalk 15:03, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Asian Games medalists in figure skating

    Semi-protection: One user with dynamic IP makes edits without any explanation. maybe protecting the page forces him/her to go to the talk page and make discussion about it, having dynamic IPs makes it hard to communicate with. Mohsen1248 (talk) 15:57, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Widr (talk) 16:33, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    what about now ? he did it one more time, do I need to re-open the case or asking here is enough ? Mohsen1248 (talk) 17:13, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I blocked the IP. Report back if there's more disruption. Widr (talk) 17:19, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Indira Gandhi International Airport

    Semi-protection: My prevoius request for page protection was granted due to constant vandalism of the statistics section by a user with varying IP addresses. The page protection expired a few days ago and the same IP is vandalising the page again. Please protect the page for longer this time. VG31-irl 16:07, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    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: Salted three years ago due to re-creation by a sock. However, I've discovered the article subject is actually notable and I want to write an article. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 00:20, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Do you have a draft article ready to move there? Like it suggests above, it's good to have an article already written up for a salted article subject so it's easily moved and to help confer notability. tutterMouse (talk) 13:40, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I do have an article in userspace that is pretty much GNG ready User:The_Master/sandbox3. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 00:37, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Looking at it, I think it needs far stronger third-party sourcing to pass WP:GNG and even more so given the field the subject works in (see WP:CREATIVE). If it'll be moved or not will be up to the admin who'll consider the request. tutterMouse (talk) 05:53, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, I'd argue that GNG and CREATIVE are separate and that though it's marginal, it does satisfy the letter of GNG (multiple reliable sources...). Multiple is just more than one. But I'll leave it to you guys to determine. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 01:24, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    It scrapes by GNG, the notability policies for creative professionals are seperate so even if it passes GNG (multiple does means more than one but fails on the reliable sourcing front) but yeah, it's not for me to decide but bulk it out, can't have too many references. tutterMouse (talk) 07:00, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotection - This page seems to have blocked indefinitely for no reason. 78.148.67.136 (talk) 13:38, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Paging Maxim. Katietalk 18:32, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I've down-graded protection to PC1. Makes sense, with the low edit rate. Let's see what Maxim says... but it may be appropriate to remove all protection. Yaris678 (talk) 19:45, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    International Space Environment Service

    Unprotection: Though this page was protected from creation (except for administrators) for being created for vandalism or misinformation three times, this protection should be reversed since the service does exist and is absolutely vital. You can verify that by simply Googling it.--RekishiEJ (talk) 15:22, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    The protecting admin has been inactive for a while now so do you have a suitable draft article ready? tutterMouse (talk) 15:47, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Raxstar

    Unprotection: So Raxstar (rapper) can be moved to this article. Also delete the draft Draft:Raxstar which was declined. Musa Talk  17:54, 25 April 2016 (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.
