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

Albanian Air Force (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: article is being repeatedly reverted by IP users, pertaining to aircraft numbers in service based on source material - FOX 52 (talk) 04:53, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Pop Fiction and Sizzle Books (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite Semi-protection: Articles are being vandalized regularly. The purpose why I am making a request because the article is a very important article and we don't want unregistered users to edit it and to avoid changes made by IP. Editors must log in first before editing. Sweetchloe16 (talk) 04:34, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

• Semi protection - IP hopping in order to recover banned sock version. Bladesmulti (talk) 04:25, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Bladesmulti's deleting categories, references and info (sourced), restoring a version that's unsourced, uncategorized and has barely 2 sentences of completely unsourced content. Protection is needed- full protection to stop his vandalism. 217.12.214.70 (talk) 04:28, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

• I don't see a need for protection as much as a need for a solution to an edit war between two users. One IP does not warrant protection, especially if he appears to be in the right. EoRdE6 05:00, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Courcelles 05:58, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism – Several users continue to return and blank the discussion, as this is an archived discussion there should be no issues with indefinite protection. - McMatter /_(contrib) 03:48, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

• Indefinite semi-protection - relentless recurrent vandalism by IP editor (76.175.73.87), who is clearly too close to the subject of the article, over long periods of time, removing sourced material he/she deems derogatory; insulting other editors as "an apparently mentally unstable user" in edit summaries (similar or the same as invective used by User talk:Margerypark as well, by the way). Other IP vandals over the years include 68.119.143.104, 76.175.73.102 and 76.170.28.126. This request was denied a few days ago, but in light of the following (, , ), perhaps this time will be different. Quis separabit? 03:21, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by an IP user, ], who has in the past made unconstructive edits on other similar pages such as Hal Jordan, and the Hulk. Requested for discussion on consensus and warned the user about the three revert rule, but roundly ignored and has now made a fourth revert. Consider blocking the page from IP edits temporarily, or blocking the IP altogether due to a history of non-cooperation with other editors. Haleth (talk) 02:30, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

• 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.

Current requests for 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.
