    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.

    Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Frequent WP:EDITWARRING despite repeated warnings to both users concerned. Neither editor seems interested in resolving their WP:CONTENTDISPUTE through consensus despite repeated attempts by third parties, and extended confirmed protection seems the only way to solve the issue. IronManCap (talk) 21:05, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Looks like it needs to be temporary full protection instead because not only Newtlamender has been conducting edit warring, but also many ECP users also doing same. The discussion already began in ANEW and let see whether Newtlamender is blocked or not because of the behavior. 110.137.163.125 (talk) 21:19, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment: I feel it is slowed down on the article page...and I don’t think the editor knew the guidelines until I linked it. Hopefully it can be resolved soon enough then without need of protecting. Jhenderson 777 21:52, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    CambridgeBayWeather and Deepfriedokra, please fully protected the article temporarily in order to make dispute resolutions and invoking pending changes protection afterwards. 110.137.163.125 (talk) 12:43, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined The last revert was at 18:36, 2021 May 6. It is now 13:00, 2021 May 7. I don't think protection is necessary but blocks can be handed out if it restarts. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 13:01, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – New vandalism over the past few days that is persistent and kind of suspicious.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP/New Users keep attempting to add the names of several individuals who do not have corresponding Wikipedia pages to this page, using dubious sources that I cannot verify to exist. They are refusing to communicate, and at least one new user appears to try to be adding themself to the page (based off of their username). Semi-protection would help here. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 06:39, 7 May 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.

    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.
