    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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – I don't know if it's a notable subject or not, but the article's history is dominated by one or more edit warriors intent to turn it into a redirect. Let's protect it first and then assess -- an redirect may be right in the end, who knows. — Rhododendrites |  15:18, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

    Indefinite full protection: Album redirect is not the album of existence. Being used as a mean for a bypass of editing. True page of Finest Selection: The Greatest Hits, which as well is not a notable album. livelikemusic 14:59, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

    Temporary semi-protection: This FA has been protected many times before because of continuous disruptive IP edits, which are usually unsourced or badly reword well-written prose.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Could we please get semi-protection on this article just for a few days. An IP keeps editing against the sources and has now started removing them. Hopefully if we lock it up for a short while they will get bored and move on. Betty Logan (talk) 00:52, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

    Angus Taylor (politician) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – This page is the subject of a constant and long-running edit war with both sides making no attempt to come to consensus and repeatedly reverting each other with contested edits. It could really use being protected to make them come to the table and sort it out. The Drover's Wife (talk) 00:47, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

    Fully protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:38, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

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

    Semi-protection: There are many IP users vandalizing this article and arguing with each other and none are using reliable sources. I think a semi-protection on this page would be best.  — TheMadonnaMusicCN (talk, contribs) 22:33, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Long-term IP edit warring over an inappropriate category seems to have had an uptick lately. McGeddon (talk) 18:52, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. — MusikAnimal 19:27, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

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

    Temporary semi-protection: Currently there are two single purpose IPs who are engaging in low level edit warring and who are reluctant to engage the other editor on the talk page. I assume that the two IPs are the same person, but I could be wrong. In one recent instance there was some discussion and one IP did participate to a limited degree. Hoever, after two uninvolved editors gave a third opinion but the consensus that emerged was ignored by the IP. I think a temporary semi-protection will force the IP(s) to engage at the talk page more thoroughly and/or create an account and thereby become more accountable for their editing. This will help to move forward discussion, collaboration and give the IP's time to get educated on WP guidelines and procedures. — Keithbob • Talk • 17:26, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

    • Comment: a third opinion is not a consensus, but in any case, the history linked to does not show the IP ignoring the third opinion -- the IP has edited the article but has left the agreed-upon text in place. I intend to offer some help to take the article forward, but am busy in RL and may not be able to do much before the weekend. I am not convinced that the IP is the only one pushing a POV here. Please would the admin dealing with this take note of these things when deciding whether to semi-protect. --Stfg (talk) 10:37, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
    • Comment: Please look at the pattern of editing on the page and talk page since the very specific point of the NRC request. When points of contention have arisen, I have consistently tried to bring this to the talk page and had these please for discussion ignored. I think the semi-protection will go a long way in helping the IPs to engage on the talk page rather than just reverting edits and ignoring substantive points of discussion. Thanks for your time and consideration. --Pengortm (talk) 12:52, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

    Temporary semi protection: A newly created account (user:Zakoni) insists on changing population data in infobox. He also uses aggressive tone in talkpage. A 3 day semi protection may cool things down.Alexikoua (talk) 12:35, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

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

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Repeated addition of copyvio content and BLP violations, particularly from what appears to be a fan of the subject. Blake Gripling (talk) 12:19, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Only two parties involved, so full protection is not needed. I'm also not seeing these BLP violations or blatant copyright violations. No attempt discuss content on talk page, user talk pages, or edit summaries. — MusikAnimal 16:54, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

    full protection: High level of vandalism by a registered user including antisemitism and remarks about the person's mental health and military service on the biography of a living person. Jrwood08 (talk) 00:18, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. All edits by registered users in the past month appear to be constructive. Only a single IP involved in recent cases of vandalism. — MusikAnimal 14:48, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

    Let It Go (Disney song) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Temporary full-protection: I would like to suggest that until the dispute on talk page about Menzel's version being a single is resolved the page receive a full protection until then so edit warring between editors will stop. Bumblebee9999 (talk) 21:52, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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.

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

    Unprotection: /semi-protection - I reasoned with the admin who fully protected the article into August of this year, who cited the possibility of editors getting into the legal dispute in which Yank Barry was suing Misplaced Pages editors as the reason for protection; and refused to unprotect. This is a very dangerous precedent to set, where in the event of a legal dispute, the article is entirely blocked off from ALL editors except for administrators. The link that they cited was this. Not only was fully protection only briefly mentioned, it was dismissed almost outright. I propose unprotection/semi-protection due to there being no guideline/policy/against one of Misplaced Pages's pillars for full protection. If this is not solved here, I will be heading to WP:ANI. This is again a very nasty precedent to set and should have no place on Misplaced Pages; The third pillar states that editors are free to edit articles, and this is counterproductive to that. Tutelary (talk) 14:46, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Misplaced Pages:Edit requests 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.
