    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.

    Semi-protect. High level of IP vandalism in the last couple of days. This has probably to do with the NFL Combine and the upcoming NFL Draft. Therefore I suggest to semi-protect the page until after the draft, which would be April 24. bender235 (talk) 14:53, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    Semi-protect. High level of vandalism. Individual with the name SoxFan999 has repeatedly edited and now out-rite removed article to create an entirely new article on a different subject. all POV changes. Had same problem with him and user Omarcheeseboro This is obviously a personal attack by both who have also nominated and deleted related articles. Please protect long term. See SoxFan999 Edit Log and notice that all his time is spent changing the Florida Whig Party article and those associated with it.Rigga101 (talk) 09:57, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    Declined If the issue is with one user, better to warn and block if necessary them. No need to protect the article. GedUK  10:27, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
    Even though others and myself have warned him repeatedly and this takes place over a long period of time? Omarcheeseborois also involved. Just look at his response on the talk page.Rigga101 (talk) 02:14, 5 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.184.133.78 (talk)
    Yes. Semi-protect won't stop a registered editor anyway. GedUK  21:24, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

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

    Temporary Semi-protection The only edits being done recently are the same POV-changes, even though these are against consensus and Misplaced Pages policy. A short time of semi-protection should hopefully discourage this, and stop it. --OpenFuture (talk) 08:33, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GedUK  09:30, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

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

    Semi-protection vandalism, POV pushes This page has a nasty history of vandalism, and, more recently, someone putting in misleading statements and all-out POV statements. I'm wondering if the protection, if granted, could be made either permanent, or at least longer (if temporary)? J DIGGITY (U ¢ ME) 06:16, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    London 1883 chess tournament (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Semi-protection This page has been vandalized many times for a few weeks. I suspected all five vandals were the same, based on the pattern. I reported it here: Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Newcastleman7/Archive. That shows the diffs, except for the most recent one. The closing admin suggested requesting (semi) page protection if it continues. (A couple of the IPs have since been temporarily blocked.) About a half hour ago, one of them vandalized the page again. I am requesting semi-protection as the admin in the sockpuppet ares suggested. Bubba73 , 06:06, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Sorry, but there's nowhere near the level required for protection. In the last week, there's only been 2 IP edits. GedUK  09:20, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
    But it has been going on for a month (14 times starting Feb 4), and the sockpuppet admin said to get the page protected (see above). Bubba73 , 16:53, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

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

    full protection vandalism, This page needs full protection due to vandalism/edit warring from a blocked user who insists on creating sockpuppets and incubating them for a few days to bypass the current semi-protection. See the page history and Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet_investigations/Jonathansamuel. Not much content has been changed in the past few weeks besides the edit warring so I don't think full protection for a week or two would be very disruptive. ThemFromSpace 06:00, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. if the SPI concludes sooner, it can be unprotected. I've not time to look at the individuals in this case at the moment. GedUK  09:15, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    Full protection. Repeated vandalism by Juliohfv (see history page). Zhang He (talk) 01:11, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I can't quite see how removing unsourced content can be called vandalism. As the content has been added by an IP, hopefully it won't get put back in without a source. I will watchlist the page as well. I also note that the discussion page hasn't even been started yet. Try to discuss the issues first rather than edit warring. GedUK  08:39, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    I agree. House1090 (talk) 01:20, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. it seems to be IPs that are edit warring, editors aren't, as far as I can see. Hopefully a short semi-protection will encourage them to use the talk page. GedUK  08:32, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    Declined Since this request was made, there's been constructive IP edits too. Additionally, this is quite a highly watched page, vandalism is reverted very quickly. Bring back if it picks up significantly. GedUK  08:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    Misplaced Pages:Introduction (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

    Indefinite full protection vandalism, Persistent vandalism and test editing is occurring, and greatly detracts from the quality of the page, which should be expected to be very-high quality, if this is the page we want our new users to look at. . Immunize (talk) 15:38, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

    Comment: This page is often the first one found by new editors, and those who are unfamiliar with Misplaced Pages but have heard that it is editable by anyone will want to try this out for themselves. The page is frequently "cleaned" by a bot and does not need the attention of editors to keep vandalism out; why would full protection be necessary? Note there is also a thread at Wikipedia_talk:Introduction#Query, at which discussion is ongoing. I would urge admins reading this request to not protect the page without a clear consensus in favor of it on the thread on the talk page. Soap 15:42, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
    Declined I think this is one of those special cases. The bot looks after the page adequately well, and the discussion is ongoing. If consensus falls to protection, bring back here, though I'd be surprised if it did. GedUK  08:17, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    Current requests for unprotection

    Shortcuts

    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.

    User talk:Onevalefan (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

    Please unprotect this user talk page. It is problematic communicating with this user as it is protected. The user himself also requests unprotection, see User talk:Onevalefan.

    I think after a year of semi-protection that we could probably let this one go back.--Adam in MO Talk 06:49, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    Note: Have you asked the protecting admin, Jennavecia (talk · contribs), to unprotect. Also, the protection will expire on 10 April automatically, so will you be able to wait? GedUK  10:00, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    No, I haven't contacted the protecting admin. It says on the user's page that they are on a break and probably won't respond. I certainly can wait till protection is up. Thanks for the help.--Adam in MO Talk 15:39, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

    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 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.

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Seems like the same guy who vandalized this article so many times before is back trying to spam his attack station site again. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 18:03, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

    IP block but pretty much confirmed he's the same guy all over again. From his last round of attacks, recommend article be protected for a decent length of time, as he will just start back up once he's unblocked. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:29, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
