Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.

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 protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Alfa Romeo Giulia (952)

• Alfa Romeo Giulia (952) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – User Typ932 has instigated an edit war as per Talk Page (which refers to dispute escalated to Project page), without basis or logic and disregard for Talk page discussions and edit war warning to Typ932 on his Talk page. My changes have been done to enhance or update content and restore the integrity of the article also by removing any ambiguity (in particular, by adding or revising appropriate and reliable references, as needed). CtrlXctrlV (talk) 04:42, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. CtrlXctrlV, both you and Typ932 need to stop edit warring. NeilN ^{talk to me} 07:27, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Saladin

• Saladin (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) I've watched the article for years, and every single month, year in and year out, some IPs will change the nationality to their own POV, disregarding the sources. Given the fame of the subject, and the neverending IP vandalism, I'd suggest an indef semi-protection, as this issue will not go away. Jeppiz (talk) 17:08, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

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

This article has been protected for over two years. The protecting administrator has two talk pages. On one the request was made three months ago and is still sitting there. On the other it was made two days ago and has already been archived. 188.222.58.239 (talk) 14:35, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

Further information: Wikipedia:Edit requests

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.

Template:Rk

• Template:Rk (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Unprotection: This template does no longer seem to be widely used - less than 250 transclusions to be counted, thus rendering the full protection redundant. . Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:16, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Quadell is the protecting admin. He seems to be sporadically active. I'd suggest leaving him a message, just in case. Samsara 16:34, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Declined, If you don't get an answer from @Quadell:, relist or let me know and I'll sort it. GedUK  13:30, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Akhtar Raza Khan

Akhtar Raza Khan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Unprotection: The title is protected from creation.I have made a draft (Draft:Akhtar Raza Khan).I talked with the protecting admin but he is not in the mood of requesting my request.He even deleted talk page of the title where I had placed 'Edit protected' templete.

Morever my draft is rejected several time from review.I am trying since 4 months.I think there is some hidden agenda.You can see the talk page of the draft.

You may unprotect and then the newly created article could be taged semi-protected for saving it from copyright violationEjaz92 (talk) 11:22, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Declined, This version of the draft hasn't been accepted or rejected, moving it to the mainspace at this point seems a bit premature. GedUK  13:22, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
