Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
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 |

Semi-protection. Today's FA, already vandalised with shock images. -- atropos235 ✄ (blah blah, my past) 01:35, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Declined we dont protect todays FA. Gnangarra 01:38, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
full protect. an edit war is starting and an editor is making the article unencyclopedic and pushing fringe POV. danedouard00 01:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Try WP:RFC also WP:3RR is an option. Gnangarra 01:47, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Well thanks anyway. I think I'm gonna quit wikipedia--Too many people pushing POV and too few want to do anything about it. I hate cleaning things up for hours only to see it revert to the unencycloped mess it was before.danedouard00 01:50, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

semi-protection. Permanent semi-protect would be good since every time its unprotected the vandalism comes right back. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 01:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
semi-protect. Repeated vandalism from an anon who probably registered an account and continued after being temp blocked. I'm going to file a simultaneous request at AIV. —KNcyu38 (talk • contribs) 01:05, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
semi-protection Heavy vandalism. RJASE1 Talk 00:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Semi-Protection... again... Although the SProtect lock is still displayed the month-long semiprotect expired yesterday according to the logs. Already the ips are flooding this obviously high-risk target. Valley2city 23:16, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Semi Protection. IP adresses (and some unexperimented users) are changing all the reliable information that I've added in the last weeks. They use unreliable sources or just change the whole articule without a source.
They also change sales, positions and certifications without a source.
Even Nielsen SoundScan sales have been changed them every day [and they're confirmed, there's a source!].
I hope you understand and protect this articule, thanks. I hope this time you can protect it. Kraft. 23:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Full protect. A legitimate image has been edited by WP:LTA/Roitr and he keeps reverting to his POV fork, currently as Reboti (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). --Dmitry (talk •contibs ) 21:44, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- A block would probably do the trick better, assuming a static IP. Prodego talk 21:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Roitr has no static IP, and blocking by IP range means blocking half of Israel (which he is aware of and even puts as an argument why there is "no stopping" him. --Dmitry (talk •contibs ) 21:54, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I see. Well, there is no reason that he would just use that one image anyway, so it is probably pointless to protect it. Prodego talk 21:55, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Roitr has no static IP, and blocking by IP range means blocking half of Israel (which he is aware of and even puts as an argument why there is "no stopping" him. --Dmitry (talk •contibs ) 21:54, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, could you please deal with Botisaf (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) as well (he was engaged with reverting of the said image)?
- I don't quite follow the logic why the the protection is pointless. Wouldn't it prevent him from reverting these images to his POV forks? Even if he re-uploads them using a new name (as he did before), at least I will be able to track his modifications to the linked articles, unlike his current reverting actions which are not even shown in my watchlist... --Dmitry (talk •contibs ) 22:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Semi-protect -- Anon vandal is always removing the AfD notice from the article. ~~Eugene2x Sign here ☺ ~~ 21:36, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Anon blocked. Prodego talk 21:54, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Anon is editing from a dynamic IP and has deleted the AfD notice again. Sprotect would really help. —KNcyu38 (talk • contribs) 22:54, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Fully protected We tried really hard. I hate semiprotecting an article during AFDs, so I will try a short temporal protection. -- ReyBrujo 23:05, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Anon is editing from a dynamic IP and has deleted the AfD notice again. Sprotect would really help. —KNcyu38 (talk • contribs) 22:54, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Full Protect - Revert war between two users which is getting very close to violating the 3RR. While attempting to talk this edit over on the talk page, they keep changing the article and reverting it on each other because they haven't reached a consensus with each other. --pIrish 21:35, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Current requests for unprotection
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.
Page was originally protected in order to prevent Anon users adding spam links to the External Links section. The semi-protect solved the problem, but I believe it is time to remove the protect, as not only is the protect disrupting the primary feature of Wikipedia: "An encyclopedia that anyone can edit", but also the page is easily the most viewed Mortal Kombat page - if it remains protected then this could discourage more anon users from contributing. ≈ The Haunted Angel //The Forest Whispers My Name// 00:27, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Request full unprotection. I think the block was overkill: neither User:Lyrl nor I have ever been disciplined for violating 3RR, and we are currently discussing the content issue civilly on both of our talk pages, as well as on the article talk page (if you scroll all the way to the bottom you can see it). There isn't really a problem here. Please unprotect on good faith from two well-behaved editors. Joie de Vivre 23:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Declined. This was clearly a revert war. What other "useful edits" is this preventing, since the only edits in the past two days were you two reverting each other? Or is this just a Wrong Version complaint? – Steel 23:39, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- WP:AGF? Did you read our communication to each other? I'm leaving the lab anyway... I just wanted others to not be inconvenienced. Joie de Vivre 23:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Deferred to Llama man (talk · contribs), since he's the protecting admin. – Steel 23:51, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- WP:AGF? Did you read our communication to each other? I'm leaving the lab anyway... I just wanted others to not be inconvenienced. Joie de Vivre 23:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Declined. First of all, it doesn't matter whether or not you violated 3RR; revert warring in any way is discouraged. Secondly, you were discussing the dispute on the talk page, but you were also reverting each other's edits on the article without consensus. Please continue discussing, and file another request for unprotection once the dispute has been resolved. –Llama mantalkcontribs 01:02, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure why this page is protected - there is some code on the page for some reason...
Declined. It's transcluded on, apparently, a couple of million pages. – Steel 23:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
No vandalism, according to what I've seen. 5Yippee 22:42, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Un-protected. It's been protected for long enough. Hopefully things have calmed down since then. -Royalguard11(Talk·Review Me!) 22:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
User:5Yippee (edit | [[Talk:User:5Yippee|talk]] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
If I can't edit it, what good is protection, when it's my own page? Just un-protect it for now, and re-semi-protect it when I have an old enough to edit semi-protected pages. 5Yippee 19:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Unprotected. Actually, you should not request protection unless your user page is vandalized. -- ReyBrujo 19:44, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I haven't seen any vandalism lately, so it should be un-protected. 5Yippee 19:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Unprotected. -- ReyBrujo 19:51, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Protected since February 11. No major disagreements since then, please unprotect. - Mauco 19:21, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Unprotected. -- ReyBrujo 19:47, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Protected since February 11. Issues appear to have been covered extensively in Talk by now. Protection should be lifted at this point in time. - Mauco 19:21, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Unprotected. -- ReyBrujo 19:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
This has been semi-protected for 2 weeks, despite the relative rarity of vandalism (or edits in general) Kyzer 14:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Not unprotected. I can't see unprotection being all that productive. – Steel 14:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Current requests for significant 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.
Miscelaneous/monobook.js
Looking in Category:AfD debates (Not yet sorted) I noticed there are several user's monobook.js files listed:
- User:Hbdragon88/monobook.js (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- User:Elaragirl/monobook.js (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- User:Vicarious/monobook.js (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- User:Dycedarg/monobook.js (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- User:Mr.Z-man/monobook.js (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- User:Jmaynard/monobook.js (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- User:Syberwolff/monobook.js (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Since this seemed a bit strange I decided to investigate. All of them have the string </nowiki>{{REMOVE THIS TEMPLATE WHEN CLOSING THIS AfD|</nowiki>
somewhere, causing MediaWiki categorization to place them in Category:AfD debates (Not yet sorted). This makes it harder to find real unsorted debates and also confuses the category tracker User:Dragons flight/Category tracker. Could someone comfortable with JavaScript edit these pages to replace the above string with something like </nowiki>{{'+'REMOVE THIS TEMPLATE WHEN'+' CLOSING THIS AfD|</nowiki>
which will not break the script, but will make the script itself no longer be categorized as an unsorted debate. —dgiestc 01:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Copy content from User:Sigma_7/Sandbox1, which adds a "tp" parameter that allows the hangon template to be applied to talk pages (in the very rare event that this is necessary.) See Template_talk:Hangon#.7B.7Bhangon.7CComment.7D.7D for the discussion on this issue. As a side note, it's not the optimal implementation, but is good enough. --Sigma 7 00:49, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
The current protected version is too lopesided. Please incorporate the following segment which is more balanced and was for long time undisputed among the waring editors.
Reza Shah introduced many socio-economic reforms, reorganizing the army, government administration, and finances. [1] However, his attempts of modernisation reforms have been crticised by some for being "too fast". [2] and "superficial" [3].Under Reza Shah, the social structure continued essentially to be one where a small minority lived off the labors of the rest [4]

semi-protect. Indefinite, if possible. The last ~50 edits, over four days, have been either vandalism or reverts, and this is not a new pattern. Jordan Brown 18:03, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Semi-protected for 3 weeks. In my opinion, there isn't enough vandalism for indefinite protection. –Llama mantalkcontribs 18:07, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Semi-protection. Frequent and repeated deletion of the same paragraph by anonymous IPs. 3 different IPs used so far (in 3 days) but looks like the same person. No explanation given. Requests to cease placed on IP user discussion pages independently by both myself and another WP user. Paragraph concerned is an item about the article subject, backed up with citation from BBC News. --Smerus 17:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Declined I feel uncomfortable to protect. Although you have tried to contact the user in his talk page, there is not a discussion thread in the talk page. Begin one there, and see if you can contact the user to put his opinion there. However, anyone else can just semiprotect the article to force a discussion if necessary. -- ReyBrujo 18:07, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
The IP has deleted that section again since the decline [1]. Prior to that I opened a thread on the article talk and notified the IP of the discussion, as suggested by ReyBrujo. It's a dynamic IP, so sprotecting would be very helpful.—KNcyu38 (talk • contribs) 23:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)- Sorry, I got the timestamp wrong.

semi-protection High-traffic page for who is perhaps the best-known Egyptian pharaoh after Tutankhamen. A quick survey of the past 50 edits reveals that all but a single exception of anonymous IP contributors either vandalized or experimented on the page.

Semi-protect: Long-term persistent vandal repeatedly removing content from the page. Refer to article talk page. Vandal cannot be blocked at WP:AIV due to use of multiple IPs and spacing out of edits (refer to discussions here and here). To be effective, the semi-protection should be placed for a long-term period, expiring in a fortnight or even a month. Kindly do not dismiss this request without reading the mentioned discussions. CounterFX 14:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Semi-protected interesting discussions, technically this should have be rejected as not enough evidence. A time period has been applied Gnangarra 14:36, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking the time to look into the specifics of the situation. I realise that this should have been a case for WP:AIV, but the admin who tackled the issue there refused to block the vandal, and requesting for semi-protection was the only means of preventing further vandalism.
