    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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Current requests for protection

    Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

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

    Requesting Semi-Protection. Page keeps getting vandalised by various IPs and some users (who continue to repeat the offence). Page keeps getting vandalised saying that that subject of the article is a gay porn star and has had relationships with other high profile celebrities. --BenjMartin 23:08, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Pg8 (edit | [[Talk:User:Pg8|talk]] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Requesting "permanent semi-protection". This is my user page that is beinig vandalized by people at my school. Well, it is only people who know about it. I have never done this before, so tell me if I have done something incorrect. -Pg8 18:17, 16 July 2006 (EST)

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

    Requesting Semi-Protection. Page is frequently vandalized by anonymous users. The controversy is discussed (well, not really; the vandals don't discuss, they just revert) on FR's talk page, under the heading "Revert War." Gordongekko909 20:45, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    M.U.G.E.N. (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Requesting Permanent Semi-Protection. Article is constantly vandalized, the mugen community's rules deleted from the article twice (even though these are very important for anyone interested in the community to know), and links with illegal content have had to be removed more than once from the article. - Kung Fu Man 16:11, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    World Wrestling Entertainment roster (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Requesting Semi-Protection. Constant vandalism and misinformation coming only from IP addresses and newer accounts. IP addresses keep making extreme formatting changes and vandalism is introduced at the same time. — The King of Kings 18:57 July 16 '06

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

    Requesting semi-protection; anonymous users are constantly vandalizing this page with various slogans. Almost every second edit is vandalism or revert of vandalism. -- Vision Thing -- 17:39, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    This really is suer serious and I suggest that the following anons are given dire wrnings if they have done it say one or twice and if persistant, blocked for 3 years, because Nazi-vandalism is potentally infammatory, such content should never ever be seen on wikipedia (non-negociable):

    The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Requesting semi-protection. Various AOL IPs have persisted in vandalizing this article by deleting the entire plot section without explanation, or with frivolous explanations. Please see the discussion of this issue on User_talk:John254#The_Messenger:_The_Story_of_Joan_of_Arc. John254 16:43, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    2006 Israel-Lebanon crisis (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Requesting semi-protection; IP vandals are making work extremely difficult with numerous reversions, edit conflicts, and the need to constantly search the history. TewfikTalk 16:35, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    User talk:The Mad Bomber (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

    08:12, 14 July 2006 Blnguyen (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) blocked The Mad Bomber (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) with an expiry time of 1 week (trolling). Since this user has been blocked, they were reblocked indefinitely and have added a an anti-wikipedia slogan which containes the f-word and blames the Jews, and it is a very angry face! Myrtone

    PS given the highly abusive glovepuppetry, I suggest a report sent to the relevant ISP about cutting the internet connection of the user's ip adress (I think this users behaviour is bad enough to be banned from the internet).

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

    Requesting temporary semi-protection. Over the last 72 hours, this article on an online game has been repeatedly vandalized by anonymous users attempting to announce who the best player is, denounce other players, generally vandalize, blank the page out, or otherwise. It's getting out of hand--I've reverted for the third and final time today. I'm guessing everyone's coming here from message boards or the game itself; perhaps a temporary semi-protect will turn some of them away. -- H·G (words/works) 08:11, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Supreme_Cmdr (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

    Request permanent semi-protection, as it as been the victim of persistent vandalism (originating from IP addresses in the 220.247.240.0/20 range) with the aggravating circumstance of trying to misrepresent a user. Making the semi-protection permanent should be considered no problem as it is a user page. -- Dissident (Talk) 03:38, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Ip list

    There are just too many to list, and it's not a happy face. Myrtone

    Pokey (Gumby character) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    This page is being vandalised by a number of anonymous users who think it's funny to add nonsense garbage to the article. Article was advertised on a forum claiming that it was 'incorrect' which has attracted the people to it. Request temporary protection. Sean K 06:52, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Error: Protected edit requests can only be made on the talk page.

    More title's for the release of Nintendo Wii was recently announced and I just wanted to edit the page with those details.

    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    This article attracts way too many vandals/trolls. IP users with similar IP adresses are constantly vandalizing the page (EX:[1]) It gets tiresome reverting the article. It needs to be Semi-Protected, or we need to get an anti-vandal bot especially for that page. (EX 2:this topic was discussed twice on the talk page, and the outcome of the debate is obviousley being ignored by the IP adresses. KojiDude (talk) 18:08, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    Shortcuts

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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:Hephaestos (edit | [[Talk:User talk:Hephaestos|talk]] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    this wonderfull little girl has been ruthlessly voted out of Big Brother UK BB7 UK, she is going to have a very successfull career outside BB, MUCH better than Jade Goody Chantelle_Houghton she needs her own page.. PLEASE un protect her page. the rules are that a page for housemates isnt allowed, she is no longer a housemate but a MAJOR UK celebrity. Aarandir 18:54, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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

    This page does not need to be protected because of such an inconsequential debate as whether one should use AD/BC or CE/BCE. Also, the proposal put forward which was important in the protecting in this page has ended and was rejected. It does not even include the initials AD,BC,CE or BCE. Professoryak 17:32, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


    Template:War on Terrorism (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

    The following articles removed from the template definitely belong there:

    1. Bybee memo. It is about the prisoners captured during the War on Terrorism. 2. Combatant Status Review Tribunal. It is about the prisoners captured during the War on Terrorism. 3. Extraordinary rendition. It is about the prisoners captured during the War on Terrorism. 4. Long War. The Bush Administration has callen the War on Terrorism that. 5. Unitary executive theory. It is about the prisoners captured during the War on Terrorism. 6. U.S. government response to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Do I need to explain? 7. Detroit Sleeper Cell. This was certainly not a main event.

    The following articles were added, and shouldn't have been:

    1. 2002 Bali bombing. This was not a main event. If the Madrid and London attacks are not listed, why this one? 2. Hambali. His organzation's article is listed, and has a link to his. 3. Khadaffy Janjalani. His organzation's article is listed, and has a link to his. 4. Shamil Basayev. His organzation's article is listed, and has a link to his. 5. Moscow theater hostage crisis. The Second Chechen War article is listed, and has a link to it.

    Notice that the articles that belong there even the template, and the ones that don't doesn't have it.

    As the Second Chechen War and the Al-Aqsa Intifada are ongoing conflicts, they should be listed as "Contemporaneous conflicts", just as the other war templates have that section.

    Also, why were the borders of the flags removed? Esaborio 06:18, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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

    South Central Farm (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Request permanent semi-protection. It has been the victim of vandalism from socks of User:WatchtowerJihad. It was recently unprotected, but slew of recent edits from sockpuppets occurred, and my own user page was the target of vandalism from this sockpuppeteer (my userpage has been sprotected already, and I'd like it to stay that way, too). Ryulong 08:07, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    You can't demand the (semi-)protection of an article in normal namespace to be permanent. That goes against policy. -- Dissident (Talk) 19:02, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


    American International School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Requesting Full protection due to mulitple long-term sockpuppets. A user has been continuously adding insults about American International School and how everyone thinks it sucks for weeks, even saying that it's not verifiable in the insult section. It has been explained at least 10 times to this user but they continue. Has used personal attacks, multiple sockpupets and has vandalized my userpage. I really couldn't care less about the personal attacks or vandalism, just please get this page protected without the slander. See article history --mboverload@ 11:40, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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

    'Semi Protection' requested. Page fully protected at present. 'Bibb Graves' entry now in second edit war. First edit war resulted in balanced, neutral compromise language. Latest edit war resulted in lengthy negotiations on talk page. I agreed to accept the other party's research that Graves was a KKK 'Exalted Cyclops' as opposed to 'Grand Dragon.' However, I asked that the remainder of the post revert to the previous compromise language that the other party had overwritten. He declined. Wants to dictate format and wording of the post as well as Graves' KKK title. Will not yield on any point. See 'Bibb Graves' on the talk page & judge for yourself.
