    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

    United Nations Security Council Resolution 47

    Temporary read-only-protection: High level of vandalism from both sides due to the ongoing Kashmir conflict. I can't find the last good version without material removed, perhaps you can. Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 00:04, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:54, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Marc Straus

    Semi-protection. User:Kentansg has twice attempted to {{db-author}} this article after other editors had added to it. User:75.104.66.199 has deleted a section relating to well-sourced but embarrassing allegations of scientific misconduct, a corresponding sentence in the lead, and a corresponding category. I have just re-added them all, from before the recent edit by User:Materialscientist. The article was recently discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marc Straus. Narky Blert (talk) 00:09, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined, the article is being actively edited, and there is (almost) no discussion at the talk page. User:Kentansg is the article creator, and they should be best involved in the discussion.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:57, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Non-Hispanic whites

    Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – A long, long history of adding unsourced content regarding the numbers of non-Hispanic whites by IPs – support pending changes. MB298 (talk) 03:08, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:00, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Defecation

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Easy vandalism magnet for obvious reasons. WNYY98 (talk) 03:21, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: I'm inclined ot semiprotect articles such as this one indefinitely. This one exhibits all the signs of chronic vandalism but isn't edited too frequently. In the past year, the article has been edited a little over 100 times, with the majority of those edits being vandalism and vandalism reverts. Yet, the article has only ever been protected over short chunks of time. Does the editing history of the article put it under the category "not enough activity to justify protection"? With such a high percentage of vandalism, I'm not sure pending changes would do much good. I feel that I may be on the more liberal side when it comes to applying protection to articles and would appreciate others' thoughts on this matter before making a decision.

    Note: To me, it looks like a perfect pending changes candidate. These can be applied indefinitely as far as I am concerned.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:02, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    2016 AFL season

    Semi-protection: Continued vandalism by the same IP address. MasterMind5991 (talk) 05:14, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AustralianRupert (talk) 10:52, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    James River High School (Chesterfield County, Virginia)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated insertion of unsourced complaining about some event at the school by shifting IPs. John from Idegon (talk) 05:40, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    El Burrito de Belén

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent addition of copyvio content by various IP addresses. Appears to have been an issue since 2014. Regards, James (talk/contribs) 06:00, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Landon Donovan

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Multiple sources are hinting that the subject may come out of retirement, but no official announcements. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:13, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    2011 First Flight High School protests and walkouts

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – An IP user keeps adding a CSD tag to this article when there is already an AfD in process for it. MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)(please reply using {{ping}}) 07:25, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Angelique Kerber

    Temporary extended confirmed: BLP policy violations – Can we get either auto-confirmed or semi protection on this article till Sep 12? It's a BLP of a player who will likely become #1 on Monday when sourced rankings come out on Monday morning. Every anon IP and new user seems to want to edit it prematurely... and it's going to get worse if she wins on Saturday. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:47, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Diya Aur Baati Hum

    Temporary Semi-protection: Consistent level of edits to the article for the past week. 31.51.233.26 (talk) 08:16, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Live by Night (film)

    Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Lots of IP quickly reverting edits and corrections. TropicAces (talk) 11:09, 9 September 2016 (UTC)tropicAces[reply]

    West Side Story

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – persistantly vandalized by specific ip user . Kostas20142 (talk) 11:39, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Voisava

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This obscure page should be indefinitely semi protected, as it is constant place of nationalistic battleground reverts. Or at least for a very long time, as we cannot constantly ask for protection. Axiomus (talk) 12:07, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Kamia Mulhotra

    Temporary semi-protection: Author is repeatedly removing speedy deletion tags obstructing the deletion process. A User (contribs) 12:26, 9 September 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.
