'''Indefinite extended confirmed:''' [[WP:BLP|BLP]] policy violations – I am uncertain that this is the correct type of protection to be requesting, so please feel free to consider other types if the requested type seems incorrect. I am an OTRS agent and we have a longstanding ticket by Mr. Quaid ({{OTRS ticket|10086298|2017062610021476}} in which Mr. Quaid has repeatedly asked that his name in this article be shown as "Randy Randall Rudy Quaid", which is his birth name. However, a number of other editors (not IP users, but users with logged in accounts) insist on changing it to "Randall Rudy Quaid" (as though "Randy" was short for "Randall"). This has caused Mr. Quaid a fair amount of frustration and stress, and even the leaving of notes within the article instructing editors NOT to change the name away from "Randy Randall Rudy Quaid" have been ignored on more than one occasion. I am not interested in protecting the content of the entire article, I am only interested in protecting the lead sentence, but I understand that this cannot be done. Instead, I have to ask for some more general kind of protection, but one that will not allow even logged in editors to change the content of the article at will so that the subject's name cannot be changed again. We have seen ample evidence at OTRS that his name is Randy Randall Rudy Quaid, and it would be nice if the article could finally and more or less permanently reflect that. Thanks.

"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 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.

    Todd McFarlane- and Spawn-related articles

    Indefinite semi-protection: Highly persistent IP editor engaging in vandalism and actionable BLP violations (for nearly a year on some of these articles). Repeated temporary protection has failed as a deterrent. This person has been nursing this particular libel for more than 30 years... he isn't going to stop adding it to WP just because he has to wait a little while for protection to expire again. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 23:39, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Offline 23:42, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Note: I have protected Todd McFarlane. The rest either do not have enough history of disruptive editing to justify protection or are already protected. Ad Orientem (talk) 01:35, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Please look at the overall pattern. When one of these articles has been temp-protected, he turns to the others, so that isn't a deterrent. Protecting just one of them is still enabling and encouraging him. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 12:07, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    If the vandal does start targeting those articles again, you'll have no trouble getting protection applied. I also just looked through them and there's not much there. Enigmamsg 19:13, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm familiar with this vandal. I'll keep an eye on the articles. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:57, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Kingdom (biology)

    Permanent semi-protection: Persistent vandalism from IP users. This page is in need of significant revision and the vandalism from various IP users complicates this effort. --Theropod (talk) 04:46, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Enigmamsg 19:14, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) 12:52, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Ad Orientem (talk) 17:05, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Violence related to cow protection in India

    Temporary full protection - Edit warring and content dispute. Capitals00 (talk) 14:15, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Ad Orientem (talk) 17:07, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Madurai Airport

    Temporary full protection: Persistent vandalism – The user Anandprakash1999 is involved in edit warring on Madurai Airport with regards to Indigo destinations even after mentioning the flight number multiple times, both in the edit summary and his talk page. Amdmustafa (talk) 15:29, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) Reporting user may have also violated 3RR. See edit history and WP:ANEW. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) 16:53, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined Referred to 3RRN. Ad Orientem (talk) 17:09, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Annette Ekblom

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The vandalism started again as soon as pp was removed. Perhaps the ip should also be blocked for 3 extreme vandalism edits. Atlantic306 (talk) 15:57, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Going back to the beginning of the year I am only see a handful of obvious vandalism edits. The IP has received a level 4 warning. If they do anything again we can protect the page and block them. But permanent pp would be serious overkill. Ad Orientem (talk) 17:13, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

    Long term semi-protection: Edit warring and extreme uncivility by socks of blocked user Nate Speed. One sock was just blocked, another's just started, others will likely follow once this one is blocked. Crboyer (talk) 18:13, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Randy Quaid

    Indefinite extended confirmed: BLP policy violations – I am uncertain that this is the correct type of protection to be requesting, so please feel free to consider other types if the requested type seems incorrect. I am an OTRS agent and we have a longstanding ticket by Mr. Quaid (VRTS ticket # 2017062610021476 in which Mr. Quaid has repeatedly asked that his name in this article be shown as "Randy Randall Rudy Quaid", which is his birth name. However, a number of other editors (not IP users, but users with logged in accounts) insist on changing it to "Randall Rudy Quaid" (as though "Randy" was short for "Randall").

    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.

    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.
