    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 unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    Current requests for increase in protection level

    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 Registered politically motivated users deleting added sources without even trying to get into a discussion on the talking page -> leading to WP:WAR. --Wrant (talk) 12:49, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. 106.51.137.241 (talk) 12:28, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent IP vandalism (six times today), ANZAC Day is the 25th of April, so three days would do it. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 12:17, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – persistent vandalism due to IP's. . Prateek Malviyatalk 10:01, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. This appears to be a case of editors disagreeing on what should be in the article. IP addresses are adding content that may be construed as promotion, but it is not a clear-cut case. Some of it is just adding red links to shops etc. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 10:52, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Targeted by IP 173.89.43.142 (talk · contribs) making strange edits, such as inserting "CST January 12, 2010" as the name of an author. The same editor (see 173.89.44.21 (talk · contribs) showed a similar pattern of behavior (long-term reversions without explanation and refusal to discuss) at Game Show Network. DrKiernan (talk) 10:00, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. This person appears to be editing incorrectly but in good faith. I have left them a message on their talk page, encouraging them to discuss their changes and warning them that edit wars will result in a block. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 10:59, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=move&user=Zackdichens12&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter= Also recent ANI thread on signatures.

    Will someone with the relevant admin buttons and a clueiron please stop these failed user renames and also explain to the clue-impervious editor that this isn't how we do renames. They aren't listening so far, so maybe move protecting it would make the point. Or just indef under WP:COMPETENCE. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:15, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism over the past two days.十八 07:18, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 11:05, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite Semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism. Disavian (talk) 03:02, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. If it picks up again then there's no harm in re-listing it. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 11:07, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Can't see why this shouldn't be page protected, an IP is currently messing with it. Hoops gza (talk) 02:33, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. 68.99.90.206 (talk · contribs) blocked by Enigmaman (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) - the page certainly doesn't meet the criteria for indefinite protection. If the user comes back after their block and repeats these behaviours, I would recommend alerting the administrator who made the original block. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 11:19, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Now that the regular season has ended and the awards are being handed out, the page is getting hit with lots of IP vandalism. The few edits that need to be made to the page can easily be handled by autoconfirmed users (such as myself). Hoops gza (talk) 02:14, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It's a shame because it looks like IP addresses were making productive edits until recently. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 11:25, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: High level of vandalism and other disruptive edits by anon IP editors. STATic message me! 02:11, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Burhanuddin sucession controversy is causing all bohra articles to be vandalized by partisan removal of content. Summichum (talk) 01:46, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by several different IP addresses.

    semi protection a series of IPs editing against the consensus Talk:Ken_Ham/Archive_1#Protected_edit_request_on_19_March_2014 just a month ago and no discussion leading to other consensus since. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 00:39, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 11:14, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 23:36, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indefinitely. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:42, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. wctaiwan (talk) 21:19, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GedUK  12:41, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Because of the shunga picture in the article with an erotic content this article has been constantly vandalized and most probably will go on being be vandalized. The article would benefit of some kind of protection. It is just a lot of extra work for everybody removing all vandalism. Hafspajen (talk) 20:30, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I doubt the specific imagery is the issue, more that it's about an artist commonly taught about in schools. The shunga painting isn't making it a target, sure it'll get some giggles and raised eyebrows from a class but I'm feeling the more innocuous "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" is why. Anyway, it's far from a high rate and gets blips which seem dealt with quick, probably not even worth pending changes though it could help. tutterMouse (talk) 21:07, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, I would be fine with pending changes if it could help... Maybe it is the "The Great Wave off Kanagawa". An IP was vandalizing this article, and as the bot said, the protection was denied because the IP was blocked for 31 hours... Now the IP is back. Also other IPs were involved in the past. And it is not many page watchers and I am feeling a bit stressed because of this article. Hafspajen (talk) 10:39, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GedUK  12:37, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – IP's adding unsourced/poorly sourced info. NeilN talk to me 19:51, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GedUK  12:36, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Renewal of temporary semi-protection: Continued multiple-IP vandalism and no constructive edits. Qwfp (talk) 17:01, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected by Gilliam (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) (2 weeks) tutterMouse (talk) 10:44, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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.

    It was protected due to it being a BambiFan101 sock magnet and though BF101 is still active we could lift protection anyway. tutterMouse (talk) 07:07, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Unprotect - Page was fully protected by User:Barek in response to a very short edit war. I have reviewed edits and find virtually no contentious editing in the 6 days prior to protection. This issue has been discussed on ANI [1], where I have made the same comments. Admin Barek has stated he is away from internet access and is fine with any decision taken at ANI; there has been no further response there. Contention seems properly limited to the talk page, and, as User:Ravensfire points out, the actual Bundy situation seems to be defused (for now), which should further reduce the likelihood of contention. I have requested on the Talk page that protection be removed, but apparently this was the proper forum. Please consider removing all protection from Bundy standoff. Eaglizard (talk) 23:26, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection was recently made for this page, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot I NotifyOnline 23:28, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected. I've lowered this to a semi. I'm a little leery of fully unprotecting at this stage, though PC may be a solution going forward. GedUK  12:31, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Wikipedia:Edit requests
    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.
