"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 increase in protection level

    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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Repeated false and slanderous comments in the personal life section, can see in history of edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.44.186.127 (talk) 21:39, 30 January 2017‎ (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. -- ferret (talk) 22:29, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Acfrinke and others

    Full protection: Wikipedian is deceased. --219.79.227.5 (talk) 02:14, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined My condolences to those who knew them; but with due respect, I don't see why the userpage of a deceased Wikipedia needs protection. Indeed I can think of reasons why they shouldn't be protected: non-Wikipedians might use those pages to communicate, etc. Vanamonde (talk) 10:33, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @Vanamonde93. Just as a sidenote: full protection of the userpage of a deceased Wikipedian is actually mentioned in the pertaining guidelines: Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians/Guidelines. Lectonar (talk) 14:03, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Note: Huh, wasn't aware of that. In which case, I will leave it up to the next admin, because I am not well-versed in the details of what constitutes verification of the death of a Wikipedian. Vanamonde (talk) 17:12, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: There is a persistent IP vandal who keeps coming in and deleting content, seemingly for no reason. Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4. It could blow over, but the IP vandal seems to be watching the pages.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 15:21, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Hsiung Feng III

    Semi-protection Persistent edits from unregistered IP's which have been reverted by multiple users. No attempt to build consensus on Talk page. Adamgerber80 (talk) 18:34, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    No, this user Adamgerber80 (talk) is consistently trying to delete information that is sourced and referenced from the original unaltered article. The original unaltered article contained legitimate sources that have been repeatedly ignored by the biased editor Adamgerber80 (talk) despite repeated attempts to show him the reference sources that Brahmos is not the fastest missile in the world. He continues to try to delete information from the page to push his nationalistic Indian agenda, and list the Indian made Brahmos as the "fastest missile in the world", when the indisputable facts are against that. His biased Indian nationalistic viewpoints violates Wikipedia official policies and does not maintain a neutral point of view that is based on real facts and not nationalism or emotional content of any kind. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia based on facts, and not India national pride or anything else except the facts. And the indisputable fact, based on several legit sources, is that the HsiungFeng III missile is currently the fastest missile in the world and the Brahmos is the second fastest. Please read this legit source from 'Indian Defence News', which specifically states the Hsiungfeng III missile is faster than the Brahmos, which the editor Adamgerber80 (talk) is repeatedly trying to delete from the article:

    http://defencenews.in/article/At-Mach-10,-Taiwans-Hsiung-Feng-III-Anti-China-Missiles-could-be-faster-than-the-BrahMos-18873

    43.249.129.212 (talk) 19:29, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Please refrain from personal attacks here. Multiple other editors have reverted edits by the same user on the grounds that the sources are unreliable and have provided alternate sources that refute the said claims. Repeated attempts to get the unregistered user to build consensus on the Talk page of the article has resulted into similar behavior. Can we please protect the article until a consensus has been achieved. Thanks. Adamgerber80 (talk) 20:21, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    No, this is not true, please read the sources as they are self-explanatory. Only a few people, including Adamgerber80 (talk), are trying to delete information from the article. The original unaltered article was intact on Wikipedia due to consensus for almost a year until a few editors, who didn't like the information contained in the article, decided to start deleting sourced and reference information from the original article stating that the Hsiungfeng missile is the fastest missile in the world. Adamgerber80 (talk) please do put words in my mouth or slander me. You know just as well as I do what these articles say very clearly, they specifically state that the Hsiungfeng III at mach 10 is faster than the Brahmos which travels at Mach 3. And the fact that Adamgerber80 (talk) desperately wants protection on this article shows his ulterior motive. If a protection occurs Adamgerber80 (talk) is going to start rapidly deleting the legitimately sourced information on this article violating neutral point of view, which is the official Wikipedia policy. I do not have anything against India or their people as a matter of fact I am a big fan of India, I like India very much, a beautiful country, having traveled to Mumbai and Delhi multiple times, I'm only focused on making sure that the articles are based on facts. Thank you!

    Please read the legit source 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.

    Merrimack Pharmaceuticals

    I want to create this page, but it's been salted (even though it was only deleted once). It's notable as a pharmaceutical company because they have several drugs in development. Natureium (talk) 17:46, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    I would ask the admin who salted it, but they're long gone. Natureium (talk) 21:39, 1 February 2017 (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.

    Handled requests
