    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.

    Indefinite Semi-Protect intense vandalism, There is continued vandalism on the page. The page was locked for a bit, but the lock expired, so we are back to square 1. The vandalism has never been minor and usually contains statements, slurs, or slander that can even go down to throwing mud at different students in the school. I'm asking for this so that we can stop the senseless IP vandalism since almost all of it comes from different IP addresses.

    Thanks for your Help!

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GedUK  13:05, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Perhaps Pending-change protected would serve better. --CompRhetoric (talk) 12:19, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think protection is necessary here. Both 81.141.6.155 and Bakunin1969 are making the same edits. These editors I think appear to be connected with one another, and hence, I think a block is in order. Minimac (talk) 12:27, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    True it appears the same editor is at work. Pending change would limit editing to confirmed and aged accounts and stop both IP and sockpuppets. --CompRhetoric (talk) 12:30, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. and User(s) blocked.. I've blocked Bakunin and protected the page as there's more than one IP vandalising. GedUK  13:09, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full protection. Me and another editor have been edit warring over the addition of a sourced quote from an article from the Christian Science Monitor [1] [2] [3]. The dispute is related to the current Climate Change arbitration case. Another article in which both of us are involved was also recently fully protected for edit warring.

    No need. .css and .js files in userspace are automatically protected, so that only the "owner" and administrators can edit. Triona (talk) 09:57, 3 September 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.

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. Seems clear that pending changes protection (which was already in place) wasn't working too well for this article, resulting in reversions of legitimate edits due to unconfirmed changes of illegitimate edits. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:12, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending changes protection (semi). Most of the time for the last several months I've been the only user taking care of this BLP. It's a hopeless task, though – I don't manage to keep it in order. Dugnad (talk) 20:38, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected. We'll see how it goes; happy to change to semi if needed. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:05, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Vandalism started up right after protection expired. Allmightyduck  What did I do wrong? 19:50, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - I thought it was a bit borderline as far as semiprotection, so let's try this for a bit and see if it works. AlexiusHoratius 20:03, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection. Edit warring of livescore results.--188.47.99.132 (talk) 19:24, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:37, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    There is no need for full protection. Semi-protection would be enough, and it should have been lifted once the game was over.--Nitsansh (talk) 22:21, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi protection would have given the registered user an advantage in the edit war and an implied endorsement of their actions in said edit war. Since I am not watching this event I had no idea when it was over, I just went with a fairly short protection on the assumption that by the time it was over there would be hard sources to verify the changes and no need to continue edit warring. Since you say it is over I'll drop it now. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:44, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
