    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 semi-protection vandalism. ► Philg88 ◄ talk 21:51, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Only one recent vandal; seems to have stopped for now. Airplaneman ✈ 22:32, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Online poker (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Temporary Semi-protect. Due to recent events regarding the blocking of all online poker players in America, there will likely be a LOT of rage. JaeDyWolf ~ Baka-San (talk) 21:04, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Bob's Burgers (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Semi protection; actually a downgrade from full. One of two pages blocked off an An/I report. IP range of a persistent sock has since been blocked, and request has already been granted on sister page List of Bob's Burgers episodes which was blocked off the same report (that, incidentally, I filed). The admin who protected has no objections. KnownAlias contact 19:18, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Probably an error, but there is no justification to full protect a page for a year. CTJF83 19:33, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Guess it wasn't an error, still no justification for that. CTJF83 19:36, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    full protection dispute, Continual creation by mulitple editors (being redirected by multiple editors) of a song that fails WP:NSONG. 3-5 days of protection i think should suffice. Thanks in advance. . - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 18:30, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    List of wealthiest historical figures (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Short period of semi-protection This page, which prior to this week has been infrequently edited, has been vandalized by (by my count) 5 different IP addresses in the last three days. Maybe semi-protecting for 3 days or so might help. Kansan (talk) 18:25, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Soham murders (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Full-protection BLP discussion going which needs to be resolved relating to Maxinne Carr int the article. The discussions need to be allowed to complete before further editing to the article is made. Currently a potential edit war is preventing the disussions from being adequatly concluded.--Lucy-marie (talk) 16:26, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    I'd recommend any admin to look at the ongoing discussion here first: Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Soham_murders.2FMaxine_Carr. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:09, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. As per Wikipedia:SILVERLOCK - if anyone disagrees, feel free to add but please let me know. The Helpful One 12:59, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:SILVERLOCK actually says "user pages can be semi-protected at any time upon request." Kansan (talk) 18:29, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    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.

    Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, This page is a vandal magnet. I think indefinite semi-protection, as on Confucius, should deter vandals for a long time. Lonelydarksky (暗無天日) contact me (聯絡) 13:32, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Wee Shu Min elitism scandal (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Temporary full protection dispute, The article was proposed for deletion, but the tag keeps getting removed by anonymous editors despite attemps to ask them to show the reasons for keeping or removing the article. The tag removal is apparently due to the anonymous editor's political agenda. I would suggest the page be protected temporarily while extending the dateline for deletion so taht constructive debate can be made regarding the future of this article.Zhanzhao (talk) 09:23, 15 April 2011 (UTC).[reply]

    Except that the users removing the PROD are doing something that is allowed. It is restoring the tag that is not allowed; if a prod is challenged, it cannot stand and those wanting deletion must take it to AFD. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 11:37, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined, as per Heimstern's reasoning. The Helpful One 13:07, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
