    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

    Timeline of the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There has been even more vandalism today. There may be more soon. Wyatt2049 | (Talk) or (Stalk) 14:43, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I anticipate further protection will be required after the expiration of the initial week, though it's impossible to predict the future. I declined this last time but the situation seems to have evolved. Thank you for keeping an eye on the page, Wyatt2049! Chetsford (talk) 14:59, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Reason: The page is factually incorrect, it needs amendments 2601:248:8481:B370:6973:5108:6686:E488 (talk) 22:42, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Sounds like you meant to put this in edit requests. But even if you did, you need to be specific. Daniel Case (talk) 23:05, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotection: Protected by a long term vandal who's account is now unblocked.--Samtastic 13:16, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

    That sounds like a reason to keep the protection... Primefac (talk) 00:06, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    (Non-administrator comment) I'm confused, if it was protected by a vandal, why did it remain protected? If it was protected from one, then we must think Wikipedia safe enough, so would seem reasonable to reduce protection Nosebagbear (talk) 18:41, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    (Non-administrator comment) The article is protected due to sock puppetry. Stands to reason that unprotection would lead to the IP puppets returning. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:56, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Lectonar (talk) 06:10, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
