Revision as of 09:05, 23 April 2016


    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

    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


    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    I was the one previously asking for semi-protection until after the 2016 NFL draft. The level of IP vandalism has increased over the past few days, and it will increase even further as the draft comes closer. Please semi-protect this article until May 1. --bender235 (talk) 04:21, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

      Declined. Full protection is for edit-warring. If there are disruptive contributions of established users they should be dealt with at WP:ANI or other venues if appropriate.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:33, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Mandilore

    Indefinite semi-protection: BLP policy violations – This user seems to have retired 7 years ago, yet his user page is being repeatedly targeted for harassment by IP editors. I'm suggesting indefinite semi-protection here because it's unlikely that any IP editor needs to edit this page, and few people are likely to notice when it's vandalized.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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.

    Unprotection: Salted three years ago due to re-creation by a sock. However, I've discovered the article subject is actually notable and I want to write an article. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 00:20, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Do you have a draft article ready to move there? Like it suggests above, it's good to have an article already written up for a salted article subject so it's easily moved and to help confer notability. tutterMouse (talk) 13:40, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I do have an article in userspace that is pretty much GNG ready User:The_Master/sandbox3. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 00:37, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Looking at it, I think it needs far stronger third-party sourcing to pass WP:GNG and even more so given the field the subject works in (see WP:CREATIVE). If it'll be moved or not will be up to the admin who'll consider the request. tutterMouse (talk) 05:53, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, I'd argue that GNG and CREATIVE are separate and that though it's marginal, it does satisfy the letter of GNG (multiple reliable sources...). Multiple is just more than one. But I'll leave it to you guys to determine. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 01:24, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    It scrapes by GNG, the notability policies for creative professionals are seperate so even if it passes GNG (multiple does means more than one but fails on the reliable sourcing front) but yeah, it's not for me to decide but bulk it out, can't have too many references. tutterMouse (talk) 07:00, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Clickatell

    Request unprotection - This page is blocked from recreation. There was a deletion discussion in 2015 with 2 delete votes based on the sourcing in the article. I created a draft in my sandbox and there are plenty of reliable sources that cover the topic in-depth. There were deletions of the article previously in 2011 and prior, but you will notice that many of the sources have come after that time. Thanks for your consideration.--Strennaman (talk) 20:36, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Pinging @JzG:, the protecting administrator.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:43, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks @Ymblanter:. I was going to discuss there first, but there is a message on the user's page that they are on a Wiki-break. --Strennaman (talk) 23:37, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.

    Handled requests

    A rolling archive of the last seven days of protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive.
