    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

    Nintendo 3DS (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Semi-protect for about 3 months (until release date). A huge amount of IP vandalism. The Stick Man (talk) 23:41, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Organ theft in Kosovo (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Nicosia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Semi-protect for 3 months or so. IPs adding large numbers of photos to article, ongoing for about a month. Regular vandalism here and there, but the photo additions has become disruptive. Outback the koala (talk) 20:58, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected. -- Cirt (talk) 22:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Cherokee (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Indefinite semi-protect. Today's IP vandalism is mainly by two users but the article has an ongoing, constant stream of IP vandalism. Uyvsdi (talk) 20:55, 17 December 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]

    Semi-protected. -- Cirt (talk) 22:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Book 4 (Inheritance Cycle) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Temporary semi-protection, Suggest protecting based of lack of constructive edits by IPs and newly registered users. Most edits are inserting unsourced speculation about the upcoming book, with some vandalism mixed in. This has been a problem on this article in the past, and it has been protected several times over time. Pending changes would probably be a useful mode of protection for this article. .

    Cody McKenzie (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    long term semi-protection - IP aliases of User:RapidSpin33 constantly changing event names to incorrect names, based on their preference. Has been consistently changed over the last two/three weeks. Also happening with Kyle Watson, Michael Johnson, Jonathan Brookins, Nam Phan and others occasionally. Can we please lock up the pages for a short while to at least prevent the IP edits. I realise RapidSpin can edit when logged in, but at least it removes the anonymous aspect and stops the constant errors being introduced. Paralympiakos (talk) 20:02, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected. -- Cirt (talk) 22:36, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Just wondering, can we get the rest of the pages done? Paralympiakos (talk) 23:49, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    WikiLeaks (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Request extension of Semi-protect. This article goes off semi-protection on 19Dec10, it's hard enough to monitor it w/registered users, let alone IPs. Funandtrvl (talk) 19:04, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Ask the protecting admin HJ Mitchell (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) first before coming here. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    She's Got Nothing On (But The Radio) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Indefinite full protection dispute, The song per Talk:She's Got Nothing On (But the Radio) and WP:NSONGS should not be created and despite being redirected to Charm School (Roxette album) keeps being re-opened. Might I suggest that both She's Got Nothing On (But The Radio) and She's Got Nothing On (But the Radio) are both redirected to Charm School (Roxette album) and then fully protected until notability is established. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 18:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:35, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    2010 Pichilemu earthquake (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Earthquake's correct Richter magnitude, 6.9, keeps being changed by anonymous users/recently created accounts. A semi-protection would be beneficial for the article. Thanks. Diego Grez (EMSIUB) (talk) 13:42, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:31, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Toy Story characters (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    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.

    Paramore (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Temporary unprotection or step down protection to "reviewed revisions". This page is currently protected until 2020? Seems like a very long time, why not just go indefinite? In any event, I have posted a request to fix the citation errors here, but I would be happy to fix them myself if the page were unprotected. Thank you very much. 134.253.26.9 (talk) 22:23, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Done – I fixed the citation errors and changed the protection duration to "indefinite". Dabomb87 (talk) 22:44, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, that works for me. Thank you. 134.253.26.9 (talk) 22:45, 17 December 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.
