    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

    Temporary full protection dispute, Continuation of a previous edit war over which ethnic groups were considered "Moors", with little or no discussion on talk page. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 15:44, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Note also that the edit-warring has continued three days after the previous 1-month full protection. It looks like it may need 2-3 months this time. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 15:49, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection - Anonymous IP vandalism. webwires (talk) 12:58, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Many of the changes reverted as vandalism appear to be good faith edits. --GraemeL (talk) 13:14, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Please unprotect to see if the vandalism has ceased. Has been protected for >2yrs. Admin who protected the page is not an admin anymore. Kirils (talk) 13:13, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    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

    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.

    Fulfilled/denied requests

    Perry the Platypus (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    semi-protection vandalism. JDDJS (talk) 03:30, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Dabomb87 (talk) 05:05, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Access Denied (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

    Indefinite full protection, Retired until further notice. access_denied (talk) 01:58, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. - KrakatoaKatie 02:53, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment – Fully protected user (and user talk) pages only apply to those of permanently retired users. HeyMid (contribs) 09:45, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    User:The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

    Full protection for the foreseeable future. User already not allowed to edit, and pointless edit skirmishes going on about its contents. User page itself already protected, and for the same reason. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 06:58, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Activity at that page seems to have died down for now. Dabomb87 (talk) 05:04, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Sudden Attack (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    A user with a rotating IP keeps replacing external links with the official Taiwanese links. I have informed the user of the WP:NONENGEL rule, but I'm fairly sure they're not actually reading edit summaries, hence the week-long edit warring.
