Revision as of 07:49, 31 December 2019

    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

    Full-protection: addition of unnecessary fancruft, and failure to discuss. Jack Sebastian (talk) 20:23, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Question: full protection usually reserved to curtail edit warring. Is there edit warring taking place? Please provide diffs to verify. El_C 00:54, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Note: Not ripe yet. and may the schwartz be with youuuuu." -- Deepfriedokra 11:03, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I can't explain it to him. Can someone else try?. John from Idegon (talk) 04:16, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • Reviewing the edit war, this looks to be a BITE situation. Looks like just some random person trying to improve an article, and you frustratingly stonewalling that without engaging in reasonable human communication. ~Swarm~ {sting} 07:35, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Note: Concur with Swarm. I would recommend taking a breath and telling the new user exactly what you think the problem is, as clearly, and jargon-free as possible. He has asked for an explanation, and the template warnings are not responsive at all. Merely confusing and ominous. -- Deepfriedokra 11:07, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined ~Swarm~ {sting} 02:59, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Addition of spam site https://theteer.com by different IPs and newly created users. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Some users got blocked, but new users are being created for the same pupose. . Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:45, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Deepfriedokra 11:13, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    User(s) blocked. -- Deepfriedokra 11:13, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Note: If they come back, there's enough for a WP:SPI.-- Deepfriedokra 11:13, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: As the film release date is nearing some un-necessary edits are occurring so i request any admin to please protect this page temporarily until 31 January 2020. Thank you :). Sai Raghavendra Puranam 10:54, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Deepfriedokra 11:17, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Note: It looks like some constructive edits, so there is risk of collateral damage. -- Deepfriedokra 11:17, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – A number of different IPs (3 128-bit ones in different ranges, and 2 32-bit ones) are adding defamatory information (not paying artists, punching). Another 32-bit IP removed this. Initially no sources. Now sourced to Facebook with no mention of Bond. Eostrix (talk) 14:36, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Deepfriedokra 15:08, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Note: BLP violations revdel'd. Violators warned -- Deepfriedokra 15:08, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. CLCStudent (talk) 16:24, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary pending changes: BLP policy violations – Editors are very intelligent in giving more weightage to one viewpoint also recently many editors are adding disrupting edits.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sudhir_Chaudhary_(journalist)&diff=next&oldid=933194150&diffmode=source.

    Indefinite extended confirmed: BLP policy violations – This is getting very problemsum. This needs to be set. - FlightTime (open channel) 00:01, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Newbie and IP vandalism spiking again. Toddst1 (talk) 00:44, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Full protection: indefinite. Edit warring has increased since Lashawn Daniels passed away in September (misconstruing facts in his personal life, changing the dates of his children's birthdays, deleting all of the information regarding his personal life). As the legal administrator of his estate, I, April Daniels, would like his wikipedia to only be edited by the administrator (i.e., April Daniels) so that I can solely provide the necessary information to his wikipedia page, so the public may be accurately informed. Okramber (talk) 01:43, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Also, we do not protect content on Wikipedia to limit the editing to one user. As well intentioned as you are, if you are the administrator of his estate, your editing would be a conflict of interest on this article.— Maile (talk) 03:03, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Editor keeps recreating page which is currently a redirect to locality due to it being a non-notable primary school. Completely unsourced, promotional text, revisions have also been redacted due to copyright violations. Steven (Editor) (talk) 02:56, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: vandalism by shifting ips. If they've stopped by the time you get to this report then so much the better. MarnetteD|Talk 05:30, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There's been some good IP edits, but also a lot of vandalism. I think this article would benefit from pending changes protection because of that. Clovermoss (talk) 05:50, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Constant spam despite PC. In the last nearly two months, one edit by a non-AC user was constructive. Everything else was disruptive/spam. – Frood (talk) 06:14, 31 December 2019 (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.

    Reason: Its been 2 months and the edits are slowing down, 2 edit requests, plus most of the drama is on the assassination attempt not crooks himself 2D Is Better Than 3D (talk) 01:11, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @2D Is Better Than 3D: This page was protected under the auspices of a contentious topic (post-1992 politics of the United States) and cannot be unilaterally unprotected. Appeal the protection at WP:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement or WP:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 03:36, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected: the protection cannot be undone through this process, per above. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:16, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: This page has been protected for over a decade, and is only now getting more attention thanks to a user expanding it. Maybe it'd help if this page could be unprotected, because everyone could help the user expanding the page. I myself made an edit request to fix a typo, and, if necessary, this page could have pending changes instead. There also hasn't been much disruption to this page in a while. Only now is it higher traffic than it has been even before the protection. 12.74.154.15 (talk) 20:18, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotected The protecting admin hasn't edited in nine years, so I have taken it upon myself to take this step. Daniel Case (talk) 02:57, 28 September 2024 (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.

    Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a {{pagelinks}} template and then the reason. It looks like this: Wikipedia:Example (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) your request here. ~~~~
