    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

    Meshuggah

    Temporary Semi-Protection: They are extreme metal/djent band but someone changed the genre to hip hop, Nu metal, and pop. Someone, disruptively added names like Nicholas Cage and a rapper name. I request more protection to this page. Persistent disruptive editing.-- wwe69584 (talk) 10:10, 28 October 2017 (CT)

    List of street view services

    Temporary semi-protection. There's a user who owns a page that continues to add their web page to this list of services via a range of IPs. Appears to be ongoing for almost 2 months. 168.215.145.158 (talk) 21:05, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.

    No "edit warring" whatsoever. I'm trying to remove incessant vandalism and have asked for help at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. 173.224.116.233 (talk) 14:42, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing.--Shanaya1 (talk) 14:49, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment - indefinite protection of any sort seems unnecessary, given the history. I would prefer temporay extended confirmed protection due to the IPs versus registered accounts that has been going on for a while. I could have misinterpreted it, of course. I have no stake in the article, and no major edits to it. Some of the requester's edit summaries (on the article) are neither accurate nor appropriate.

    Assassination of John F. Kennedy

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The classified documents were released on Oct 26, because of media coverage, the article is attracting lot of vandals. The traffic is expected to increase. Currently the page has PCR, but it seems inadequate now. Requesting protection for a week so that only autoconfirmed users can edit it. Thanks. —usernamekiran(talk) 15:11, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Modern Baseball

    Temporary semi-protection: recent spate of IP edit-warring over whether the band is "broken up" or "on hiatus". Chubbles (talk) 22:55, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Jigsaw (2017 film)

    Temporary Extended Confirmed Protection: To say things have gotten out-of-hand with this article is an understatement. Two weeks ago, it was semi-protected for the persistent addition of uncited content and general disruptive editing. However, it didn't help much, as autoconfirmed users (many of which being redlink accounts and relatively inexperienced users) continued to do the exact same thing. Now that the film was just released and semi-protection has expired, the article has been overwhelmed with such edits. I seem to be the only editor actively monitoring it, and frankly I'm not sure what else would work. Full protection would be a bit much. DarkKnight2149 23:42, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    United Airlines

    Temporary Semi-protection: Noted a recent spate of IPs in content dispute over former hub status and their references being questioned. Looking at history, it seems the talk page discussion has achieved very little. 2001:8004:1300:7C69:E546:E943:3A2D:983E (talk) 00:16, 29 October 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.

    Lil Pump

    Can we finally unlock the name for this page? If you recall, I requested this previously but with so many bad faith editors trying to spam this, I was told to submit it to articles for creation. I did so and it was denied (by user Flow234 who is now blocked for using multiple accounts). I have done nothing but good edits on Wikipedia (please check my edit history) and feel like I am being treated like a second class editor because of other people trying to spam. I am not sure how any other user has any more rights to judge the notability of the topic than I do since we are all in the same boat. I think this is evidenced by the now banned user whose opinion was apparently valued more than my contribution history. I have since moved the page to the person’s real name of Gazzy Garcia and invite editors to recommend it for deletion if they feel it is not notable (there are also two other related pages created by another editor, Lil Pump (mixtape) and Gucci Gang). What I would request is that the name Lil Pump be unlocked so that we can move the page to the proper name. By the way, I made another request to the administrator about three weeks ago and they have not edited during that time so I have had no response.--DoubleuWW (talk) 03:59, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotection: Per Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects#Category request: Category:Lorde Suggestion. No opposition after 2 months and I feel that this is a reasonable category. feminist 15:02, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Agreed. There's no reason to still have this sysop protected four years after the original CfD. Nihlus 18:31, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Catalonia

    This may be out of order, but given the very public discussions going on, I'm going to request in a public forum that BrownHairedGirl consider reducing the protection to ECP. GMGtalk 00:37, 29 October 2017 (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.
