Semi-Protection, and anynymous Ip adress who I suspect is a German nationalist with whom I have had many conflicts with in the past continuously to remove referenced information and makes personal attacks. Please semi-protect the page, so he'll stop or at least will make an account. Rex 17:39, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Tom Hanks (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-Protection There's a rumor going around the Internet that Tom Hanks is dead but this article proves it isn't true and the craze has happened due to people being tricked by a create your own news site. Various IPs have already written that Hanks is dead and I think the vandalism may get worse as the afternoon hours progress. Gdo01 17:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Current requests for unprotection

• WP:RFUP
• WP:RFPU

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on 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.

Template:Sonic characters (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Not unprotected. Let's wait until a decision is reached on what to do with the Siberian Misplaced Pages. -- Steel 22:07, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

So I guess the vandalism was good, then, because it removed the link to a project that was said to be a "disgrace" to the Wikimedia Foundation. On the other hand, protecting the page prevnets LEGITIMATE EDITS to it, for no other reason than a link that is disputed. Remove the protection, lock down the Siberian Language Wiki and dispute that instead. Allow legitimiate edits!!! 170.215.83.212 23:21, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Current requests for significant edits to a protected page

• WP:RFED

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 Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
• Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages: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.

Radio From Hell (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-Protection for a few days. This article is being constantly referenced on a popular radio show, with the show asking visitors to make changes to the page. There has been a lot of generic vandalism, as well as lots of editing by people ignoring discussions on the talk page and needlesly reverting edits by other users. Any editing of this page is also being discussed with contempt on a very popular radio show. --Mike 06:38, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Declined. I can't see a whole lot of vandalism or reverting going on. -- Steel 12:45, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

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

The vandalism attack which lead to protection was probably of singular and short motivation. Please unprotect as soon as possible. By the way, the protection template should be tagged on the editpage and not on the frontpage. all the best Lear 21 12:10, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
