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 |

Semi-protect for 2 weeks: Continual, unconstructive (and ungrammatical), nationalistic POV edits by anons (essentially the same edits by different IPs). Has become a revert war. —Finell (Talk) 18:19, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Borderline "not enough activity", but I protected it to see if the IP edit war will stop. tedder (talk) 20:06, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. Shouldn't there be a semi-protected icon at the top of the page? —Finell (Talk) 21:14, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Sure! :-) Just added one. tedder (talk) 21:20, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks! I don't know the mechanics of protecting a page, but wouldn't it be possible for WikiMedia software to put the appropriate (full or semi) icon on the page automatically when the page is protected? As a matter of coding, that shouldn't be any more difficult than changing the tab from Edit to View source. —Finell (Talk) 23:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Current requests for unprotection
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
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
Temporary semi-protection Apparently some people are upset over the name change of the tower and are vandalizing the article. Richard (talk) 16:51, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Semi-protected Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?!? Sorry, I couldn't resist. tedder (talk) 17:02, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Temporary full protection vandalism, False chart positions and sales figures are added again and again in the article by many IP (see history). Europe22 (talk) 14:01, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Commenting: I could see semi-protection on this article, because it historically has been a target for IP vandalism, and the type of vandalism they do is not obvious to the casual reader (how often do you actually verify chart positions?). Full protection seems overkill to me.—Kww(talk) 14:06, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- People often accidentally click the wrong kind of protection when requesting here. From his comments afterward, I'm fairly sure he meant semi. Enigmamsg 14:11, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Enigmamsg 14:11, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
semi-protection, Recent developments indicate a high-profile basketball coach Rick Pitino was involved in a sexual scandal that is bringing the usual IP-related BLP issues. Semi-protection requested to protect from future BLP issues. seicer | talk | contribs 13:46, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. tedder (talk) 13:51, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection, Constant vandalism by a range of anonymous IP addresses. As soon as one address is blocked, the exact same vandalism pops up from another address. Requesting protection so that only established editors can edit the article. HighKing (talk) 11:15, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It doesn't appear severe- a few per week, at most. Continue templating the IP. tedder (talk) 12:39, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection vandalism. --aktsu (t / c) 09:47, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. tedder (talk) 12:37, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection vandalism, anon vandalism by one account (see diffs here). The Junk Police (reports|works) 09:05, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Appears to only be about one edit per day, fairly low activity. tedder (talk) 12:35, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
create-protection, Repeatedly created. — Σxplicit 04:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- It was protected, but only to prevent non-autoconfirmed accounts from creating it. I think it should be raised to create=sysop, but I'll leave it for another admin. Enigmamsg 04:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- If I'm not mistaken, the user who recently created it didn't create the first seven times (at least, not according to the edit history of the user's talk page; he didn't receive any speedy deletion notices of that article prior to mine). If the same user did in fact create it every single time, I guess it's fine as it is. — Σxplicit 05:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Fully protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. At least the two most recent creations were by User:Dwightjetnoga; full protecting. Can someone sniff out the barnstars on the user's page? I suspect they belong to someone else. tedder (talk) 05:39, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- It'll have to be an admin who checks that out (page deleted). Otherwise I would. ceranthor 11:13, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- No worries- the user hadn't been blocked and deleted when I posted this. tedder (talk) 12:39, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protection. Many ip users faked data in this article.--阿pp (talk) 08:07, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It'd be nice to see some discussion on the article talk page soon. tedder (talk) 08:18, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection vandalism, IP's under the 188.xx.xx.xx range removing reliable sources and adding http://www.azcentral.com/ent/music/feedback/articles/1010topboybands.htm. Bidgee (talk) 07:48, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protect. High level of repeated unsourced content, I believe some vandalism, etc. The event is this Sunday, would be preferred if it was protected till Monday so we can avoid these same situations on Sunday.--WillC 07:20, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection For several days now the page has been repeatedly vandalized. Richard (talk) 02:31, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. tedder (talk) 05:34, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection - Different IPs (usually with only a few or no prior contributions) keep making the same sort of edit, such as [1], [2], and [3] for example. The article is low-traffic, and almost, if not all IP edits are of that nature. Lәo(βǃʘʘɱ) 02:08, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. We'll go from there. Gotta love the school articles. Drop by my page if you want some advice- I've been working that area quite a bit. tedder (talk) 05:28, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Article is a magnet for additions violating WP:RECENTISM as well as run-of-the-mill vandals. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 01:57, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Relatively low levels, but BLP and ongoing. tedder (talk) 05:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection Page is frequently being vandalized by ips. Richard (talk) 02:24, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. (X! · talk) · @212 · 04:04, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
two-week semi-protection discussion of how to deal with a thorny sourcing issue is being completely disrupted by Johnali123 and his IP socks. Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Johnali123 will be able to take care of the named accounts, but the IPs would require blocking of 92.0.0.0/12, over a million IP addresses. Not particularly reasonable. I know that semi-protecting a talk-page is an unusual step, but it seems necessary in this case.—Kww(talk) 02:06, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- I support the protection, this dispute is getting out of control with rotating IP's and sockpuppets and it is very difficult to get consensus this way. We need some more editors to help out with this dispute but this is getting out of hand. Momo san Gespräch 03:18, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Mediawiki only allows blocking of ranges starting with /16, so 92.2.0.0/16 to 92.5.0.0/16 would have to be blocked preventing 65535 hosts each which could present collateral damage. I would think protecting the page would get them to stop, although the ones with accounts are already autoconfirmed so they would still be able to edit during the protection. Momo san Gespräch 03:33, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This is a very unusual step- WP:SEMI explicitly states the article and talk page should not be protected at the same time. However, this is also a fairly severe case. I'm invoking WP:IAR; if any admins disagree, they are welcome to unprotect it and admonish me for doing so. However, I don't see what other options we have- the level of activity, and number of unique IPs, on the talk page today alone is insane. tedder (talk) 04:08, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Momo san Gespräch 03:33, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Based on my Judgement, only the IP's have been causing trouble in the last 6 to 9 hours and the ones with accounts are trying to get the IP to listen but it is obvious that the IP isn't listening. Maybe things will get done now that the IP's are out of the picture for 2 weeks. Thank you. Momo san Gespräch 04:10, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
