    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.

    Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, an admin previously (on april 24th) perm. protected this article, but I'm guessing a wrong button got pressed somewhere because IP's are still editing and vandalizing the article. RF23 (talk) 22:00, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indef as requested- previous semi protection expored yesterday which kind of proves your point. The move protection was indef and I've left that. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:13, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, as an NFL bust- Couch's article is a frequent target for vandals. A lot of the IP edits violate WP:BLP. RF23 (talk) 21:39, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Only seems to be one IP, whom I've blocked. Let me know if it continues. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:31, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Many thanks. You'll notice in the page history that this is recurrent, lately coming from the same IP range, and similar edits go back for at least a few weeks. JNW (talk) 21:33, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Hordes of SPAs with similar-looking names attacking. After a 12-hour break, they seem to have resumed activity. Favonian (talk) 18:14, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Too much unsourced bollocks being added in the wake of this episode's broadcast last night. ╟─TreasuryTag►inspectorate─╢ 16:31, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 6 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. Just six hours for now. I'm kind of surprised we're getting so much vandalism now, I would have thought that we would be getting it as the episode aired or just after it. I'll watchlist the page; if the vandalism continues I'll re-semi it. NW (Talk) 16:36, 2 May 2010 (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.

    Also should #REDIRECT to 5-Hour Energy. Lyoko is Cool (talk) 22:30, 2 May 2010 (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.

    Fulfilled/denied requests

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Its 2010 season just begun, attracting vandalism. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 15:43, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. NW (Talk) 16:15, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full protection dispute, Potential edit war brewing -- editors keep adding material without consensus, discussions are ongoing at NPOVN and on talk. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 14:02, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined: I have watchlisted the page, but I'm not sure if page protection or blocks are necessary yet. I'll keep an eye on it. NW (Talk) 16:13, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    full protection dispute, The article just got unblocked, but User:Ahmed shahi and an IP are deleting scholarly references, inserting POV and very doubtful "sources" (for example the website "Sabawoon.com", a Pashtun nationalistic website with known affinities to the Taliban-movement in Afghanistan). . Tajik (talk) 13:48, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Tajik (an extreme Persian-ethnocentric POV pusher) is going around removing sourced material from articles because he doesn't like them since they may be from a certain ethnic group, he invites other editors (User:Inuit18, User:Ariana310, User:Alefbe) to help him in the edit-war so he he doesn't break the 3rr. Then he comes here and requests that the article be protected. He has locked a number of articles in the same way in the last couple of days. I think Tajik is a very disruptive user and should be blocked for disrupting Wikipedia.Ahmed shahi (talk) 14:12, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Fully protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. As I have said on the talk page, I have no knowledge of this subject, but the various editors involved need to discuss what should/should not be on this page, and to reach a consensus. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 14:20, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Ahmed shahi, if you have problems with Tajik, please take your issues to dispute resolution or the Administrators' noticeboard for incidents -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 14:20, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Tajik proudly claims on his user page that he is from Afghanistan but at the same time he is insulting all of Afghanistan's websites (such as this one) as being part of the Taliban network.Ahmed shahi (talk) 14:23, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok thanks.Ahmed shahi (talk) 14:24, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection. Article is receiving significant media attention and consequently much interest from unregistered users adding non-encyclopedic content and potential BLP violations. A few days semi would be sensible. Leaky Caldron 13:28, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 7 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:32, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect. - A Norwegian IP keeps introducing questionable changes while refusing to use the talk page to sort it out. This probably warrants a block already, but since the IP is dynamic, semi-protection may be a better course of action. Illythr (talk) 12:25, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. IP blocked for a week. Let me know if he returns and I'll reconsider semi protection. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:13, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: lot of unhelpful edits and speculation regarding the reasons behind her recent release from WWE, which is completely unsuited to a BLP. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 11:33, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:10, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect IP's making article into an attack page ahead of UK elections on May 6th. JRPG (talk) 10:10, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 107 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The protection will end approx. 20 minutes after the polling stations close in the UK (10pm BST, 9pm UTC) -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 10:21, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Indian IP continues removing sourced content and making grammatically incorrect edits. First time I left him notes, he changed IPs. On the second IP, he continues ignoring notes, ignoring edit summaries, ignoring warnings, and just continues reverting. His only communication has been to leave me a "3RR" warning[1] after his continued removal of references was reverted as vandalism. Seems to indicate he is not as new as the IP would indicate, and have now confirmed it is an IP sock of User:Karunyan who was indef blocked for wikihounding me repeatedly with his named account and multiple socks. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 08:41, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: IP address blocked for 1 week (talk · contribs). -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 10:11, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 10:43, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Permanent semi-protection Highly visible template - used by The Beatles and all Beatle-related articles. PL290 (talk) 09:00, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indefinitely. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 10:13, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, Requested by user (see my tak page for proof) to stop vandals writing personal attakcs. Acather96 (talk) 16:04, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indefinitely. Let me know if you want it unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:08, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection - Unregistered users continue to make unconstructive edits to the article which keep having to to be reverted. To avoid repetitive undos, a semi-protection would be much appreciated. Thank you. =] Jonny (talk) 15:56, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:59, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect Constant vandalism by dynamic IP address that changes every time a slew of edits are made. Anon has made thousands of vandalism edits purposely introducing false information. Makes as many as 50+ edits at a time, each a second or two apart. Semi-protecting would stop this person as they are an IP user. Last request for semi-protection led to an admin claiming they blocked the users IP range, but it didn't actually stop anything. This is a Halloween event, therefore I seem to be the only one reverting any of these edits Kiwisoup (talk) 06:46, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I would do a rangeblock, but it's not an area I'm confident in. If the rangeblock is properly done, the protection could be lifted. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 08:03, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Move Protection Constant vandalism by IP address 86.140.74.95. Warned, but not listening.--Kkm010as© 06:34, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined "Constant" vandalism is not two identical edits by an IP yesterday. The level is low enough to be caught by watchlisting the article. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 07:58, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi Protection Been vandalised since its creation STAT- Verse 06:16, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined As it has been proposed for deletion, we'll wait and see if an admin declines this (incidently, when it was CSD'd, the original tagger blanked the page, but I have restored the content. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 07:54, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi protect for 2 months this article has a long history of anon IP vandalism. LibStar (talk) 06:08, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
