    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-protection, please. A new article about a new university in London, attracting vandalism and original research from anons or new accounts who seem to be trying to undermine it (example). I'm having trouble dealing with it without violating 3RR. SlimVirgin TALK|CONTRIBS 10:15, 6 June 2011 (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.

    Un-salting. Another editor created an article about him (Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Borgore) that I wanted to move to mainspace; the sources provided there show that he now passes the general notability guidelines. Cheers, doomgaze (talk) 13:58, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    In actuality the request for the article was declined, and I can not find any reliable sources that would establish his notability. The sources currently in that request do not fulfill such as far as I can see.   ArcAngel   (talk) ) 14:09, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Please clarify, I'm quite surprised. Are two separate MTV interviews not enough to pass WP:GNG now? The article provides four counts of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. doomgaze (talk) 14:40, 6 June 2011 (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.

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. -- Cirt (talk) 06:45, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection. The "Controversies" section is often removed (in whole or in part) by anonymous users with little or no history. These edits often seem politically motivated (the names of involved parties are frequently removed), and reasons are rarely provided for the removals. The issue has been mentioned on the Discussion page to no avail. The page is rarely edited for any other reason, so semi-protection seems reasonable. I even wonder if full protection is necessary. Lucohami (talk) 05:27, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. -- Cirt (talk) 06:44, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Joseon Dynasty (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

    Temporary full protection. Edit-war over a WikiProject banner template involving multiple users (none of whom have crossed 3rr). After the initial edit, there have been nine reverts by five users within three days ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]). This warring has gone on despite concurrent discussion, so with full protection, I hope discussion can be moved to the talk page of the relevant WikiProject (WikiProject China). Quigley (talk) 04:41, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined This belongs at WP:ANEW. File a formal report there please. -FASTILY (TALK) 06:48, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
