    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

    Current requests for protection

    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 Vandalism, Lots of I.P vandalism edits which have to be reverted on an almost daily basis. Asking for a temporary semi protection so that I.P's cannot edit the page for a few weeks until they loose interest. .Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign!) 16:27, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    indefinite semi-protection , I just want my user page to be semi protected if that would be alright..Sidonuke (talk) 16:27, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    temporary create-protection , This article has been created and speedy deleted as a copyvio several times today. I suggest salting the page after the next deletion..A More Perfect Onion (talk) 16:20, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    indefinite semi-protection , As I predicted when protection was denied yesterday, this page has today been attacked by two further sockpuppets of the Runtshit vandal. Please protect it, to prevent the constant abuse of this page for pursuing a racist campaign. RolandR (talk) 15:03, 19 November 2008 (UTC).RolandR (talk) 15:03, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Am I reading correctly that the quotes in the article attributed to him were later determined to have been fabricated? If so, why are the quotes in the article? This doesn't appear to be vandalism to me. It appears to be a content dispute. Both versions give the same information, from what I can tell, but your version includes some nasty quotes, apparently determined to have not been made by him, which is completely inappropriate for a BLP. لennavecia 16:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    full protection. I've been watching and maintaining the article for over a year now, and this user User:TriskelionTarantula and IPs: 71.190.2.49, and 96.224.142.105 always reverts it. I'm requesting for a protected page for the said article, and if possible block the users above for vandalizing the article.

    best regards

    indefinite semi-protection Vandalism, lots and lots of odd and persistent vandalism from various IPs recently, often multiple reversions needed per day. - chicgeek talk 01:10, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Seems to have been indefinitely semi-protected by MoP, though not tagged here as such. Thanks, - chicgeek talk 11:34, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    indefinite semi-protection Vandalism, Article is frequently vandalized by IP users. JaredInsanity (talk) 05:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Page protected Semi three months. The problem seems to have started this fall, so indefinite protection might be overkill. EdJohnston (talk) 05:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    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.

    temporary semi-protection Vandalism, Multiple IPs have made the exact same edit to the article many times in the past few days. Blocking will do no good because the vandal has used many IP addresses. --Andrew Kelly (talk) 23:13, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 23:44, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    temporary full protection Vandalism, This week is Lehigh-Lafayette week at Lehigh University and (I'm assuming in some shape or form) Lafayette College. This is a historic rivalry between the two colleges (as can be seen on the article pages) and it gets a bit...extreme. There has been quite a bit of vandalism already today on both articles and I'm expecting this to continue and probably rise through this Saturday (EST). I'd like to request protection of both pages for 5 days..NcSchu(Talk) 23:03, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. That's for Lafayette. I don't think Lehigh needs it yet. However, re-report if it does. Thanks for helping out! :) Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 23:46, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    indefinite semi-protection Vandalism, I would reccommend protection for this page. It is extreamly likly to be vandalised and so protection would be benificial..Kirachinmoku (talk) 22:16, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: Actually, the page seems to be semi-protected already (since December '06[1]) - auburnpilot talk 23:44, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection - For the sake of transparency, this request was denied yesterday because there hasn't been enough vandalism recently. This article has now been vandalized 9 times today. In the recent past, there have been serious BLP issues, including false death reports and claims about Theis' sexual activities. I have been told that Theis has instructed viewers of his web show to vandalize his Wikipedia article, and the vandalism has been ongoing for several months. Semi-protection for as long as possible would be greatly appreciated. GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:01, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The 8 today were from a single address; still not severe enough. Whether or not he's instructed his viewers to do so is irrelevant, in this case. If it gets worse feel free to re-report. Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 23:42, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure why instructing people to vandalize the article isn't relevant, as it clearly makes it a bigger target for vandalism. Since I listed this, two more IPs have joined in on the fun. I'm not sure what the threshold is for semi-protection, but I sure hope it's at least close. Removing constant vandalism is a waste of my editing time. GaryColemanFan (talk) 01:08, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    temporary semi-protection , It seems that parts of this page are constantly being deleted by one user, then re-uploaded by another. I wouldnt say it was vandalism but there is cirtainly some dispute over the source of the information..Kirachinmoku (talk) 21:32, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    indefinite full protection Vandalism, There are many vandalism only accounts created specifically to vandalize this page and advertise on it. Some of these are public i.p addresses, or done through proxies to hide the i.p addresses or create new accounts.
