    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.

    Temporary Protection Persistent disruptive editing. – A specific user is constitantly attempting to revert while ignoring consensus on the talk page. In addition to the block i am advancing through the dispute resolution process, opening up a request for comment. I ask the page be protected until the dispute resolution process has run its course.XavierGreen (talk) 05:44, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    The "persistent disruptive editing" here is by XavierGreen who seems to have a chronic case of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT.Volunteer Marek (talk) 0::6:03, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
    A lengthy discussion on the issue was held here [[1]], which clearly failed to produce a consensus to change the infobox from Geopolitical Organization to Warfaction. Despite the lack of consensus and objections from other users, User:Volunteer Marek and User:Iryna_Harpy have been consistantly attempting to force the change through anyway, putting vandalism warnings on the talk page of any editor who attempts to revert them. I have opened a request for comment on the talk page.XavierGreen (talk) 06:21, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, it is XavierGreen who has been consistently editing against consensus and reliable sources. There have been other editors reverting this user. Please check the discussion on the talk page. In fact, it has gone beyond IDIDNTHEARTHAT to pure WP:CRUSH. As pointed out to XavierGreen, it isn't even an issue for consensus, but one of policy. The use of a 'Geopolitical organizations' infobox was inappropriate after this article and the LPR article (below) used a 'country' infobox. This may have stood for a long time, but only due to the fact that all of the Ukrainian crisis articles were being edit warred by POV pushers from their inception with no hope of any sense being made of them until they'd stabilised to some degree. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 08:57, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Iryna : No, it is not original research , it's just an excuse to justify your forced passage . You did not have to change the page without consensus. If you are confident about yourself, why you have not started looking for a consensus? This is because you do not have one . And if you were not is that the majority of contributors do not agree that this is an original research. Your change is not collaborative . --Panam2014 (talk) 12:48, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    As per the user's above request, there has been a protracted discussion on the DPR's talk page. This tactic of pushing for page protection for the user's preferred version is WP:GAME. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 08:59, 13 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.

    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.
