    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

    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.

    Ruhollah Khomeini

    Temporary protection: Persistent disruptive editing, addition of unsourced bogus/hoaxes, ignoring WP:BRD, massive unsuited changes to the lede (making it 2x longer), as well as ignoring the talk page both on the article, as well as on his own page.[1]-[2]. Clearly not here to have a fruitful discussion regarding his unsuited changes. - LouisAragon (talk) 22:40, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    User:LouisAragon clearly has a conflict of interest. They revert by claiming "Unsourced" contents such as "In 1982, there was an attempted military coup against Khomeini" which was sourced to highly reliable NYTimes (http://www.nytimes.com/1982/06/28/world/iran-says-an-attempted-coup-by-army-group-was-foiled.html) [3].

      • Instead of removing the controversial assertions about a living person, the editors are going back and forth, tagging the claims with {{disputed-inline}}, instead of removing them until consensus is reached, in violation of WP:BLP and WP:NOCONSENSUS. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Johann Sebastian Bach

    Temporary Full Page Protection (5-days): Persistent disruptive editing, third time, on Bach article and Talk page by User:Francis Schonken. A new RfC is currently open at Johann Sebastian Bach with 4-5 editors in support of changes with citations added to the proposed text in the previous RfC, and two editors Opposed User:Martindale and User:Francis Schonken. One of the editors, User:Francis has returned to edit warring on the Talk page despite warning from User:Softlavender to follow RfC policy and guideline. In addition, two previous Full page protection from User:Ymblanter and User:MusikA previously issued for User:Francis to stop edit warring and to encourage him to participate in the open RfC have been ignored. Instead, User:Francis is now disruptively editing the RfC in order to deflect any new editors from participating. Virtually all new editors have been deflected over the week-end from participation due to the disruptive editing by User:Francis. I have returned the RfC to normal format and requested that editor comments be placed in the Comment Section of the RfC following the Support-Oppose section but User:Francis ignores this and reverts it. User:Francis is apparently now pretending to be the originator and author of the RfC by edit warring.

    Request here is made for temporary Full Page Protection for the article for 5-days and a cautionary warning to User:Francis to follow RfC guidelines and policies since a preliminary warning was already made by User:Softlaverder to User:Francis concerning this matter.

    Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. A wave of IP editors (186.214.109.194; 93.221.243.65; 180.244.47.144; 177.133.174.67; 93.221.213.89; 84.183.99.216; 199.185.67.239; 84.183.97.124; 84.139.123.154; 84.139.114.106; 219.89.19.22; 84.139.119.116) has kept emerging and making the same controversial edits over and over again.

    Binksternet you or someone using your account apparently removed my comment on The Piper at the Gates of Dawn talk page three times -- please don't do that again. As you know, any editor can leave a comment on a talk page and you can't remove talk page comments from other editors --- ever. This is according to Wikipedia policy.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – IP-hopping LTA vandal targeting me. Binksternet (talk) 22:51, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    This isn't needed. I requested that you don't remove my comments from The Piper at the Gates of Dawn talk page (see above). That's a legitimate request to leave on your talk page. The other item I left on your talk page was a warning to stop edit warring which you clearly did at The Piper at the Gates of Dawn talk page. Thank you. 2606:6000:610A:9000:9DF6:CC8D:592B:1AE (talk) 00:09, 26 January 2016 (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.

    Bambi II

    Unprotection: Page was vandalized 8 years ago. CoconutPaste (talk), 15:00, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • CoconutPaste doesn't mention it here, but protecting admin Tanthalas39 last edited in 2008, and the protecting edit summary mentions another admin who, after a username change, edited for a while but retired in 2010: this is definitely the right place to come. Normally I would fulfill the request without question, but these Disney movies are routinely the targets of a long-term disruptive user, so I don't know if this is a good idea. Other admins, note that CoconutPaste is a new account, but his editing patterns make me confident that he's unrelated to the disruptive user. Nyttend (talk) 15:11, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I feel 4 days is a long time to have a request open, is it a decline if no admin seems willing to unprotect? tutterMouse (talk) 17:34, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I think this is a Not done. Given the LTA I don't think this is a good idea and per tutterMouse nobody else seems to either. BethNaught (talk) 20:03, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Amy-Leigh Hickman

    Unprotection: The page was blocked in 2010 as the actress was barely notable. However, the actress since then has appeared in much more and I would like to do an article. I have asked once before, but I got ignored. Thanks. Grangehilllover (talk) 23:27, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Do you have a draft prepared? tutterMouse (talk) 10:32, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi, Yes. I'm almost done. Thanks. Grangehilllover (talk) 13:02, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    When you've completed it, make an article in userspace or within the Draft namespace so an admin can move it into mainspace. tutterMouse (talk) 15:32, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi,

    I'm really not understanding it as these articles are confusing. Can the page not be just unprotected? Grangehilllover (talk) 16:28, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    No, usually if you want a page unprotected because you feel the subject is now notable then a draft article is helpful to get it unprotected as then at least you're showing evidence that an article is viable and that it'll pass notability guidelines. If the processes I showed you are too complex to understand then the article wizard tool will also help. tutterMouse (talk) 17:06, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi,

    I've submitted an edit request if that's any good. Grangehilllover (talk) 19:14, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    It won't be, you've already got one request here. tutterMouse (talk) 19:36, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll give you the super easiest way to put your draft article up so we can see it; click on this link in red, copypaste your article into the window and hit save page like any page you'd create. You shouldn't need to put a link to it here but you may want to so a passing admin can see it. tutterMouse (talk) 07:09, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi,

    That was much easier, thanks! I've done it. Grangehilllover (talk) 16:48, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    @Grangehilllover: My strong advice is that you take this draft through Articles for creation (AfC) – they will unsalt this page for you if they approve it. (If you want, I can put an AfC template at the top of the draft for you.) On my end, I don't think your sourcing is quite strong enough yet to take this draft into mainspace yet... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:04, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    ResellerRatings

    Unprotection: ResellerRatings factual content is consistently removed by an individual associated with the company, then protection requests are filed to prevent that information from appearing in the article. Any factual, well sourced, encyclopedic content added by any user which casts any type of unfavorable light on this business is consistently removed, then protection requests are filed to keep the information out of the article for 6 months. The same user, Techimo, who likely has an affiliation with the organization as the only other article he's ever contributed is the one he started about the company's founder (Scott Wainner), is responsible for this manipulation.

    The latest revisions were quite neutral, well sourced from peer review sites such as the Better Business Bureau, SiteJabber, and Truspilot, as well as industry news magazine, Internet Retailer Magazine, a former division of Thomson Reuters. These are neutral sources with no axe to grind. Criticisms were listed as well as the steps ResellerRatings took to address them. That is about as neutral as it gets. All of ResellerRatings' peers such as TrustPilot, Angie's List, and the Better Business Bureau have similar "Criticism" sections. Why is ResellerRatings' article allowed to be any different?

    The consistent citing of "non neutral point of view" by user Techimo and his various IP's is false, disruptive, and misleading. I request that protection be removed, the article be reverted to the https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ResellerRatings&oldid=701384529 revision, and for the protection to be added back for a 6 month period, to prevent Techimo from removing factual content and abusing Wikipedia protection.

    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.
