    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

    Foundation for Economic Education

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – An anonymous editor first used the undo button many times to revert many edits by many editors over and over, ignoring multiple warnings from an administrator until finally relenting.

    Next the anonymous editor filed a Dispute resolution claim that was closed because "failure by one of the editors to address reasonable questions" as well as the recommendation to "advise the other parties that disruptive editing can be reported at WP:ANEW or WP:ANI, and that disruptive editing by unregistered editors is best dealt by requesting semi-protection" after an moderator asked for assistance, "Would another moderator please take a look at the case regarding the Foundation for Economic Education because quite frankly it is the dumbest case I've ever seen, and I have no idea what to do with it."

    The second moderator who advised the first moderator strongly cautioned the anonymous editor to stop the disruptive behavior and advised me to "just ignore unconstructive talk page comments" which I followed. The anonymous editor decided that the lack of replies to their disruptive talk page comments somehow gave them consensus to edit as they saw fit. I contacted the moderator again and that moderator recommended that I "Resume discussion on the article talk page."

    This is all on top of perpetually issuing completely bogus warnings to anyone who disagrees with the anonymous editor's actions.

    The anonymous editor has now graduated to blatant vandalism. Abel (talk) 02:59, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Update: At 18:35 used 107.107.58.110 for vandalism, then minutes later at 22:04 used ‎107.107.62.140 for more vandalism. Could be multiple people, but that seems unlikely. Abel (talk) 03:13, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Help talk:Getting started

    Indefinite semi-protection: For some reason, and despite notices on this page, new users seem to frequently post to this Talk page which is intended for discussion of improvements to the Help:Getting started page, not as a place to request help.

    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.

    Percheron

    Reduction of semi-protection. Percheron is currently the TFA, so WP:Semi applies: "administrators should semi-protect it for brief periods in most instances". Vandalism has been mostly "normal" for a TFA, and protecting it until Sunday will mostly have no effect after today. Protecting admin seems to not have a problem with this. © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 21:41, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Tacitus

    The article says that Tacitus refers to the Huns as the "Hunnoi", which dovetails nicely with the Chinese "Xiōngnú" and is a fact found all over the internet; however, according to [1], Tacitius refers to them as "Hunos." I do not know Latin, so perhaps "Hunnoi" is acceptable in some declension, but the claim in this article that Tacitus says "Hunnoi" does not have a citation. Can someone knowledgeable about Latin check this out? The talk page is protected, so I cannot add a talk section, so I am adding it here as I will probably forget about this issue by the time the page is unprotected. --BLebow4500 (talk) 20:50, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    It seems this is a general protection removal request page. I have no idea where I'm at. I'm talking about the article Huns. --BLebow4500 (talk) 20:57, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
     Fixed © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 21:15, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you, but I still can't edit the Huns page or the talk page, so I'm not sure what it is that you fixed :( --BLebow4500 (talk) 23:36, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh you referred to Huns. I was referring to [2] this error the bot Cyberbot I was referring above. I'm not an admin, so I can't do something about your request. You should probably go to Talk:Huns to discuss Tacitus's reference. © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 00:39, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you, but the talk page is protected, lol. --BLebow4500 (talk) 00:41, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, I was about to say that. Let me contact that page with this one. © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 00:42, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    I appreciate you adding that request to the talk page. Thank you. --BLebow4500 (talk) 03:42, 6 March 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.
