    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.

    Semi-protect for two days. High level of IP activity inserting varying random numbers and contradicting results. Results are to be published on Aug 31st, which on this site means night Aug 31st - Sep 1st around midnight CET. Ulkomaalainen (talk) 23:40, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    This article was full-protected by an arbitrator, SirFozzie, until a currently ongoing arbitration case was closed.[1] However the case's resolution has been delayed and the protection has expired in the meantime. This is therefore a procedural request for re-protection, per SirFozzie's wishes to have it protected until the case's closure. As the case is nearing completion (a proposed decision was posted a week ago), I suggest a re-protection for a period of two weeks. -- ChrisO (talk) 23:23, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    With respect, if SirFozzie desired it protected for a longer duration, would he not have reprotected it himself? Unless there's something that requires immediate protection, I'd suggest you ask SirFozzie to clarify his intentions. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:31, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    SirFozzie protected it for a month in the belief (which everyone shared at the time) that the case would be over by then. Unfortunately the completion of the case was delayed beyond that timeframe. The article has been the target of extremely abusive anonymous editing for a long time, which has made it necessary to semi-protect it for almost all of its existence. Unfortunately this has expired along with the full protection. At the very least, it needs to be re-semi-protected to return it to the state immediately before SirFozzie's full protection, until SirFozzie can get around to reading his email. -- ChrisO (talk) 23:44, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    temp semi - Can't believe this isn't already. It's a fairly heavily targeted article due to his controversial nature. Is due to compete in about 4/5 hours and vandalism will be MASSIVE. Paralympiakos (talk) 23:19, 28 August 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? 23:35, 28 August 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.

    Fulfilled/denied requests

    Indefinite create-protection, See deleted history; this was a soft redirect to Wiktionary, but has been frequently overwritten with nonsense, hoaxes, etc. We aren't going to have an article on this, so we lose nothing by preventing the creation of nonsense here. . — Gavia immer (talk) 21:54, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Creation protected TNXMan 22:43, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary move-protection, Following unconfirmed reports of an alternative title some made efforts to move the page today. There have already been issues with other users changing the direct of Kelly Rowland (album) to One Woman Show (album). Kelly Rowland (album) is the best confirmed name, and although Rowland has said she is allowing fans to suggest other names unless one is decided upon the album will remain titled Kelly Rowland. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 (talk2me) 21:48, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, A high volume of vandalism relating to staff names, and the quality of services provided in the school, some of which may be considered offensive. I've just rolled one back, and every time I come back to this page there seems to be another thing to be deleted.

    I appreciate you reading this. TGLewis (talk) 20:24, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, This article has been constantly hit and vandalized by IP's since last December whenever individual semi-protection periods end. Temporary protection is only a temporary solution it seems. DrNegative (talk) 19:29, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
