    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

    Full-protection: WP:DISRUPTIVE. Strebe (talk) 08:06, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. It's already on the edit-warring noticeboard. Lectonar (talk) 10:18, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Luang Por Dhammajayo

    Request increased protection against vandalism from IP-numbers and newly registered users. Reason: persistent, visible vandalism. --S Khemadhammo (talk) 09:33, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Just one user recently (and even their edits do not necessarily constitute vandalism); apart from that, not much activity. Lectonar (talk) 09:50, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you, Lectonar. But I am a bit confused. Are we looking at the same article? The article has had a large number of vandalism or disruptive edits, starting from the moment Luang Por was widely reported in English press, that is from 19 February onward. I have listed the edits below. Most of them are just adding random Thai or English text, or deleting a large part of the page. I request a temporary increase of protection for as long as the temple and its abbot are widely reported in the news, to protect the quality of the page.

    Yandere Dev

    Temporary semi-protection: Disruptive editing and edit warring. Several IPs and a new user continuously added a unsourced full name (Special:Diff/766824098, Special:Diff/766946754, Special:Diff/766950504, Special:Diff/766951052, Special:Diff/766995651). However, I can't find a source to verify it. Gyakusyuu no Amanojaku (talk) 11:14, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Article is at AfD and disruption is not very heavy. Lectonar (talk) 12:03, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Hurricane Mitch

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. ZLEA (Talk,Contribs) 13:20, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP Sock is back after a 3 week hiatus, and is now fake blocking me. L3X1 My Complaint Desk 14:30, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Roy Jones Jr.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive edits by an IP. Not a content dispute: Jones is not recognised by any credible media outlet as a five-weight world champion, which is what the IP keeps pushing. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 15:02, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Lectonar (talk) 15:51, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Lectonar (talk) 15:50, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    One of the editors involved in the disruptive editing is a registered user, so semi-protection will not work. The Banner talk 15:55, 23 February 2017 (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.
