    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

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There's been a lot of vandalism on this page, looking at the history. I would either semi-protect this or put pending changes protection on it. Thingy34|my edits12|question? 15:31, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This page, together with Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service has been subjected to an ongoing campaign by a sockpuppet account who disagrees with the removal of unsourced original research. Semi protection to match the other fire and rescue articles targeted earlier in the week would be very useful. 10mmsocket (talk) 16:04, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    LGB Alliance

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – At least 3 different IPs edited the article today, calling it a hate group or similar without any sourcing.

    Drew Brees

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Semi-protection expired a month ago but in recent days the IP vandalism has ramped up again. I'd suggest at least 6 months, this should put the subject (who has now retired) far enough from the news cycle that it should subside at that point; though I wouldn't object to indefinite (with possibility to revisit that at some point) if need be. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 16:45, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Kallar (caste)

Please do NOT fully protect the current version, if you feel full protection is required, please go back to say the 1 April version, before this started - Arjayay (talk) 17:29, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    @Arjayay: Do you know that actually is விக்னேஷ்வர் பா மாளுசுத்தியார் that most conduct edit warring? I believe it should be reported in WP:AIV or WP:ANEW. 36.77.95.2 (talk) 20:24, 21 April 2021 (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.

    Alison Collins

    Unprotection: I have attempted to discuss with El C on Alison Collins talk page. I did not receive a favorable reply. Requesting removal of protection regarding Alison Collins Removal of Temporary Semi-protection: Requester of temporary semi-protection made several false claims in order to dupe an editor El C to grant temporary semi-protection for 60 days. Requester of temporary semi-protection made false claims that edits are editorializations. The edits are not editorializations. They are fully supported and cited by a wide number of unbiased news sources. Second claim by requester, BriefEdits, "Lots of anonymous and shifting IP edits makes it difficult to debate over content issues and neutrality let alone basic manual of style upkeeping." That claim is false and misleading. There is only one editor he is referring to that has an anonymous IP, and that is me. However, my IP is static and has been for all the edits I've made to the article. I have seen on several occasions that BriefEdits uses the practice of deleting other editor's edits to this article, dubiously claiming NPOV, and then paradoxically, BriefEdits introduces NPOV content as a replacement for the deleted edits. BriefEdits makes also a false claim that it is difficult to debate over content issues, neutrality, manual of style upkeeping. That is not true either. BriefEdits and I have engaged in discussion on numerous talk pages. My guess is by BriefEdits requesting semi-protection for an article, he or she intends to lock out any competing edit from any other editor that may offer useful contribution for an unreasonable long time for a lock out of 60 days. Perhaps shorten the lock to a week or remove it entirely. The article continues to suffer from vagueness and lack of clarity due to a low number of unique contributors. By lifting the lock now, the article has a chance to be improved by willing contributors, including by BriefEdits, instead of having to wait 60 days for the article to languish in usefulness due to lack of improvement. Sincerely this anonymous static IP, 2601:645:C001:4A40:D87C:717C:A09D:1C84 (talk) 06:14, 20 April 2021 (UTC) Edited 2601:645:C001:4A40:D87C:717C:A09D:1C84 (talk) 06:45, 20 April 2021 (UTC) Edited2601:645:C001:4A40:D87C:717C:A09D:1C84 (talk) 09:03, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Drug use

    Unprotection: Only ~150 transclusions - was protected following an incident of vandalism in 2018. Extended protection should be sufficient (protecting admin hasn't seriously edited since 2019). Elli (talk | contribs) 07:24, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.

    I'm happy for it to be unprotected; was fully protected years ago because of issues caused by an LTA (and also an issue of my doing). Someone should have made me aware of this too Nightfury 11:00, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
