    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.

    Full Protection. Nothing yet. However, I suspect that an edit war will happen and I wish to prevent it before it starts.--Nate2357 (talk) 20:40, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Around 3 months semi-protection Near 100% of edits since April 27th have been vandalism or revert, and it's only going to get worse as tornado season gets more active later into May and June. Ks0stm (T•C•G) 20:06, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Something about this page attracts IP vandals. Vandalism & its reversion has come to outnumber legitimate edits, and is a nuisance. Relief needed - thank you. . Hertz1888 (talk) 19:36, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:39, 5 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.

    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.

    Declined The changes seem well sourced (60 minutes) though I agree that the language does not appear to be neutral. I suggest attempting to work with the IP editors on how the information should be presented. --RegentsPark (talk) 18:34, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection IP vandalism, this article draws more than it's fair share of IP insanity, typiccaly vandalistic insertions of comments about "your mom" or similar drivel. WuhWuzDat 17:35, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, BLP seems to be getting increased vandalism from uncomfirmed users in the last couple of days.

    Temporary semi-protection, Hello, recently there is a lot of small vandalism occurred in this article. A lot of anonymous IPs adding advertisement type material and vandalizing whole article. So I ask for temporary protection for 3 months. NovaSkola (talk) 15:30, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. (The vandalism had been a bit heavier in the last few days but not too bad before that, so I went with a shorter period to start with. Re-list if vandalism resumes once protection expires.) AlexiusHoratius 15:40, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection. This page has been the target of IP vandalism for several days. After each time the vandalism is escalated to a block and the vandal (or vandals) move on to a new IP. Maybe a period of semi-protection would be a mild deterrent? —RP88 15:23, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AlexiusHoratius 15:36, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, This article has been getting regular (though fairly low-level) IP vandalism for some days now - maybe protecting it for a few days might discourage them?. -- Boing! said Zebedee 08:48, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
