    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

    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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive edits and vandalism on the page despite general opinions on Talk:2017 Alabama Crimson Tide football team page. 23 reverting changes were made while 60 out of 124 edits were from unconfirmed IP addresses in the past week. Previous pending changes protection was lifted yesterday. However, as soon as the protection had been lifted, edits from unconfirmed IP addresses persisted. Please review and consider the request. J1n9 (talk) 20:45, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There appears to have been only one such disruptive edit since pending changes protection expired. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:27, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite extended confirmed: Persistent sockpuppetry – Since Ponyo set the article to semi-protection indef, socks still edited this article, please increase to ECP, thanks!. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 07:07, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Indefinite ECP seems pretty extreme for this level of disruption. Please continue to report socks to WP:SPI. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:30, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – edit-warring by Faizan socks. —MBL Talk 09:18, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. If disruption continues please make a new report. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:35, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Unsourced content addition is continuing, I would recommend PC over semi protection, so we can evaluate new edits rather than block IPs/new editors from editing the page. Nightfury 13:11, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined. This was declined 5 days ago with a suggestion to use the talk page. As the talk page has not been used in that time, this is declined again. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:37, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Anonymous inexperienced editors are ruining this page. Fully block any edits pls. BlackGaia02 (talkpage if you dare) (talk) 13:31, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There isn't much editing by anonymous or unconfirmed editors, and what there is, is mostly constructive. Case in point: the most recent disruptive edit was four days ago, and it was reverted by an IP editor. MelanieN (talk) 23:42, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Let There Be Sunshine (talk) 13:47, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Most of the edits by unregistered users appear to be productive. MelanieN (talk) 23:45, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – A rotating IP waits until protection expires and comes back and removes the COI and advert maintenance tags without any explanation in an edit summary or discussion on the talk page in the section that I started to discuss it. Maybe a longer term of protection will actually entice them to discuss sometihng. ~ GB fan 16:05, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. MelanieN (talk) 23:52, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. MelanieN (talk) 23:55, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: This page is already WP:WHITELOCKed, but I think it'd just be easier to semi-protect so that people don't have to keep reverting nonconstructive edits. Hameltion (talk, contribs) 16:44, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. PC protection should remain after semi-protection expires. MelanieN (talk) 00:00, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – I have just reverted one bad edit that contradicts the BLP but I suspect there are several more which have escaped detection. I think the article should be protected until a reliable editor has reviewed it, probably someone from the cricket project. Compton & Edrich (talk) 17:16, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Constant changing of numbers despite what the reference says. Rockysmile11(talk) 17:23, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated blanking of sourced and obviously relevant content by multiple accounts and IP addresses. Largoplazo (talk) 20:51, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – As soon as the semi-protection expired, the dynamic IP returned to change dates to false once, even going so far as to change the title and URL of a source to the false date. —Farix (t | c) 21:13, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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: It's been 7 years since it was last protected, lets give unprotection a shot. Eltomas2003 (talk) 01:58, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Courcelles, looking at the page it is move-protected, done by Jéské Couriano in 2010, however the user who protected it is no longer a sysop. Nightfury 13:40, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite pending changes: Lets do changes, but with a twist, anyone can edit, but anyone who isn't an extended confirmed user or admin has to have their edits subject to review. Extended confirmed users can edit normally. Eltomas2003 (talk) 03:19, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.
