    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

    Tammy and the T-Rex

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent promotional/COI edits – There has been a slow-burning attempt by George Pilgrim, one of the actors in this film, to promote himself on this article. Pilgrim was originally blocked as User:Gmpilgrim66 for spam/advertising. He has so far used three IPs to either place his name more prominently in the cast list or claim that he stars in the film. I believe an indefinite semi is warranted to stop this persistent COI editing. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 15:45, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. (I didn't do indef as it doesn't look like the disruption as been going on very long - just the last few weeks.) AlexiusHoratius 16:07, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Playdate (console)

    Semi-protection: editing and reverting of Criticism section by "anon" IP users. —Flicky1984 (talk) 16:19, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined - Not yet. This has only happened once or twice within the last day, which is not enough for me to justify restricting the ability for all anonymous users to edit the article... especially given the fact that anonymous users have made legitimate contributions to it in the recent past. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:24, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Mareco Broadcasting Network

    Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent sockpuppetry – Long-term abuse from sockpuppeteers who are able to weasel around the autoconfirmed restrictions. Perhaps an ECP would deter them for a while?. Blake Gripling (talk) 16:27, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:46, 1 June 2019 (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.

    Dremo

    Unprotection: Create protection must be removed to complete the WP:PRECISION round-robin page swap of Dremo (Musician), recently restored per consensus at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2019 May 24. Jalen D. Folf (talk) 07:09, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotection: This is a long message but is worth reading. Some days ago the respective article was protected by RegentsPark due to an ongoing mild edit war. But i think that the protection on this page is not needed anymore with due respect to Regents' decision. It was put up because an edit war started regarding the addition of a statement which was already cited but the other admins failed to notice that because of work burden and were continuously reverting it but ofcourse the dispute ended after i added several more citations to support it. Protection on a page shall only be applied when an ONGOING dispute is the cause of frequent edit wars and more edit wars can occur in future because of the dispute. But if the dispute is already over and none of the involved parties are doing anything again, then why is the protection needed at all. Similarly in this case, it occurred just because of misunderstandings and wasn't intentional at all, so i think the edit warring will never occur again. Hence, protection shall be removed rather than keeping it intact until august which will cause hinderance in the improvement because people like me who dont have an account here and have very good knowledge about this subject can not edit. An example is on the talk page of the respective article, i proposed an edit request there and it is lying un-noticed for a day now. What i think is that have it not been protected, then by now it would have been improved hugely by me. If you want proof of my work, just look in the edit history of the page and the edits done by IP addresses. Every single IP edit has only improved the article (except the guy who keeps changing the height info) and not a trace of disruption followed. Regarding the edit war, i think the admins should have talked to me about it and then reverted because i had the explanation but they didn't which is not my fault. At the end my request is that please remove the protection from the page and i guarantee that not a single disruption will occur. Please feel free to ask an explanation for the above statements if it seems confusing to you. Regards The IP 2405:204:A49D:DD98:0:0:D43:B8AC (talk) 16:22, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    So, you are the person previously known as 117.225.62.212 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), who was blocked for personal attacks. Not the best premise for such a request. Favonian (talk) 16:37, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Can't you keep that aside for a moment and think if what i am doing is right or wrong. Ritchie333 I dont like disturbing you brother but you maybe the only one who can tell them that the more important thing is present and while they are still living in the past, they should not expect others to do the same. My idea is radical and i want huge changes to occur here because the whole system is being ruined by your misconceptions Mr. FAVONIAN or whatever. 2405:204:A49D:DD98:0:0:D43:B8AC (talk)
    And why you didn't see the quality edits done by me through that IP. Had any of your editor added that much reference in the article ever? Stop complaining what i did to other editors (they deserved it). I am not here to respect other editors, i am here to build wikipedia at which i am one of the finest in the world because my contributions to wikipedia is enormous and i dont ask for those awards in return because i dont do show-off like you. 2405:204:A49D:DD98:0:0:D43:B8AC (talk) 16:52, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Stop provoking me to make a basis of proving me wrong. I am ready to co-operate but dont provoke me like you all always do. 2405:204:A49D:DD98:0:0:D43:B8AC (talk) 16:54, 1 June 2019 (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.
