Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

Shortcuts WP:RFPP WP:RFP WP:RPP 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. Skip to table of contents requests to raise protection lower protection requested edits (purge) Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level Request protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Ben Gurion International Airport (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

semi-protect page is getting vandalised practically every minute. HalfShadow 06:20, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Declined, - front-page article / WP:NOPRO. It needs to get way worse than this before it can be semi'd - Alison ☺ 06:27, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

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

semi-protect, 60 days. I am not familiar with how to deal with vandalism, but it seems to me that most edits on this page of late have been racist or inappropriate/partial in nature. War-hammer 04:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi protection, 60 days: Several IPs keep vandalizing this article. The article is about an upcoming video game base on professional wrestling. The IPs are messing with the references section, and are adding and deleting items to the 'announced' sections. If there isn't enough activity to support semi-protection, some will eventually follow because of predictability due to past events (I know it's crystalballing, but it's been protected several times.)

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

Full protection Was afd deleted, I have speedied it but it should then be locked to prevent re-creation, in this case it was simple vandalsim recreation but this person strongly objects to any article and especially one that says poo, SqueakBox 02:26, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Declined, - it's way too early to SALT it, regardless of Seth's own opinions re. his biog. I've deleted it now, but this is only its second deletion ever Alison ☺ 02:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protect - Once more requesting semi-protection; didn't stop him the last time, so I'm hoping for a somewhat longer protection period...C. Foultz 00:09, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

The 69 Eyes (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection. For several days an anonymous editor has constantly been removing "gothic rock" as genre classification of the band. There has been a problem user who has got blocked because this sort of behaviour, and this seems to be the same person circumventing the block using multiple IP-adresses. (Other articles may be affected by the same behaviour...) The Merciful 23:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

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

Full protection. Extremely pejorative POV and unsourced/false/sensationalist information about the city reiteradly edited by IP users, Serrallonga and Maitedebarcelona.--BarcelonaMarc 20:43, 23 July 2007 (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.

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

The article has been semi-protected for about a month-and-a-half. It doesn't appear that the intention was to make the semi-protection permanent so it might be time to try lifting it and see if the vandalism picks back up. --ElKevbo 06:20, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Hate That I Love You (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This page was protected from re-creation due the amount of "crystal ballism" and it was not wasnt confirmed as a single. The artist for this song Rihanna confirmed herself on 106 & Park on BET, July 20, 2007 during an interview that the fourth single from her third album Good Girl Gone Bad would be "Hate That I Love You" featuring Ne-Yo, and that she would soon be shooting the video sometime soon. Musicman123 00:41, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Declined. Wrong forum. I suggest you first ask admins who deleted earlier versions of the page. Failing that, your next avenue is deletion review. In either case, external links to what you're talking about will help your case. Good luck.--Chaser - T 01:34, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Seven Wonders of the World (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Already unprotected. Protection expired.--Chaser - T 01:30, 24 July 2007 (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.

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

This should either be redirected to insult or stupidity, more likely stupidity, since dumbass is often used on someone who is dumb. TheBlazikenMaster 21:27, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Declined. This request is not so uncontrovertial that I'm willing to carry it out. Perhaps try proposing it on the talk page? --Deskana (talk) 21:43, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

What the Bleep Do We Know!? (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The article curently violates Misplaced Pages Policy because it contains a very large amount of OR/synthesis and does not contain the fact/citation request tags that were there. I don't believe the discussion will move forward if the OR remains on the protected page. The editors who edit warred to keep it in have not engaged in a fruitful discussion thus far - while editors who removed it or tagged it have presented their case in detail on the talk page. I suggest reverting back to this version which removes much of the OR and adds the fact/citation tags back. Dreadstar † 19:09, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Declined According to the talk page, it was protected due to a dispute over OR/synthesis. The remedy is to gain consensus first, then do the edit. Mr.Z-mantalk¢ 16:41, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

We are trying to edit this page. could an admin please come to the talk page, to help us and provide some guidance on the next step? thanks. --Sm8900 13:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Enfield 8000 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Full protection - User with bad COI problems refusing to talk about their edits on the talk page. All warnings are ignored, and they seem to have useful information etc and are acting in good faith, but they are ignoring policy. Protection should force them to ask for changes to be made on the talk page. Three users (Me, Drunkenmonkey, and EliminatorJR) have reverted and attempted to warn him. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 23:21, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

• NOTE: Problems with one dude should be delt with on user warnings and this board. TheBlazikenMaster 23:24, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I am aware of that, however the user is ignoring warnings on their page, and AIV would cause blocking, which is the opposite of what I want. I requested protection to force the user to discuss edits first, not be blocked. They are acting in good faith. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 00:34, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

User has been blocked for 31 hours, after I decided AIV was the best bet. Consider this request withdrawn. (I do not know how to close officially, so could someone more familiar please do so?) Thanks! Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 02:55, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

• User(s) blocked. --Iamunknown 05:51, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

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

semi-protect. This is currently huge news in the sports world, where persistent vandalism is going to be done to the page, which has already been proven quite a few times. Maybe semi-protect this until the whole situation dies down? FamicomJL 18:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Declined at this time, as not enough activity to justify protection; anons have contributed helpfully, and the volume of unhelpful edits is not yet significant. --Iamunknown 05:55, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

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

Semi-protect Has been IP vandalized for several days. Try permanant if, it's not valid have the protection at least longer than the last time it was protected. TheBlazikenMaster 15:41, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Declined The level of vandalism is low and can be handled by reverting. -- Gogo Dodo 04:33, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
