    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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. MusaTalk ☻ 00:19, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. There are other IPs that are making positive contributions, so I am loath to semi-protect. I have warned the disruptive IP. If blanking re-occurs, please ping me. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:02, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent removal of AfD template by multiple accounts. According to the discussion at AfD, this is one of multiple promotional incarnations, and has engendered an SPI as well. Ideally, deletion with salt is recommended. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:04, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Disruptive IP-edits despite multiple warnings . CFCF 💌 📧 00:00, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Question: CFCF, there was a similar problem yesterday with that IP, but the disruption was a little clearer then. In this case, can you explain why it isn't simply a content dispute? SarahSV (talk) 03:51, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Primarily because the IP is not engaging in discussion, or acknowledging that opinions other than his own may impact the content of the article. This is a continuation of the exact same behavior he was warned and asked not to engage in. CFCF 💌 📧 07:03, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    He seems to have begun engaging in constructive editing since my request, and as such I would put this request on hold. CFCF 💌 📧 07:04, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: No history of page vandalism since the page was just made, but it is bound to be vandalized. Musicpoplover12 (talk) 08:05, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Lectonar (talk) 08:42, 8 February 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.

    More move-protected, hyphenated-for-no-reason-templates

    Need whatever protection level changed to template editor, for both edit and move (or at least admin changed to template editor; I'm skeptical any of these need edit protection above autoconfirmed). Same as the last batch.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  04:35, 8 February 2016 (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.

    Donald Trump

    Edit semi-protected: The header states that he "earned...support among working-class voters, as well as widespread opposition from Hispanics/Latinos, Muslims, business leaders, and other Republicans," but does not cite a source. This is not the language used later on in the article where it says "...earned him support among working-class voters and voters without college educations amid heavy and frequent controversies in the news media." I think it's unfair to paint him in this way without at least citing a source because potential voters of those groups may read the header and get an impression of him without actually looking into his positions for themselves. My request or suggestion is to change the language in the header to what is said later in the article (which is cited), or cite a source for the original claims. WikiUser2244 (talk) 01:02, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    {{RFPP|no}} No specific edit proposed. The article talk page is the appropriate venue for discussion of content. Katietalk 03:25, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    My specific edit was to change the last line of the header to what it is says later in the article. I said "My request or suggestion is to change the language in the header to what is said later in the article (which is cited), or cite a source for the original claims." If you can't find a source or if that's not how this process works then my "proposal" is to just change the wording to match. Also, the talk page is also semi-protected, otherwise I wouldn't have posted here. WikiUser2244 (talk) 04:06, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    You'd be right, that isn't how the process works. You need to bring what specific changes you want to have made, admins are only proxies for these small edits after all so they can't do anything that requires more than a copypaste or that forwards a specific POV. If you have a different wording for the unsourced sentence in the lede then that probably could be done seeing as it's an unsourced statement, just need to say where it is and what it should read as with cites if you have them. tutterMouse (talk) 06:17, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Okay, so I'd like to change the last sentence of the header to read "Trump's politically incorrect, anti-illegal immigration politics, which also concentrated on terrorism and national security concerns, earned him support among working-class voters and voters without college educations amid heavy and frequent controversies in the news media," for the reasons stated originally. The source that cites this is source 200. WikiUser2244 (talk) 14:50, 5 February 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.128.73.5 (talk) [reply]

    Restoring as the request wasn't actually done, I would do it but it's a hot button article I'd rather not be involved with. tutterMouse (talk) 11:30, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
