Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Amorymeltzer (talk | contribs) at 09:57, 15 April 2018 (→‎Shuttle–Mir Program: User(s) blocked (via responseHelper)). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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

    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 increase in protection level

    Indefinite semi-protection: He is a living person that also was a government official. Because of this, his page should be protected so that his critics do not take advantage of his Wikipedia page. Arles2464 (talk) 00:34, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Pages are not usually protected proactively. I don't see any reason for Jefery's article to be an exception, especially since I'm not seeing any vandalism going back at least seven months. —C.Fred (talk) 00:36, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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.

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Excessive disruptive editing. Vandalism. ✝iѵɛɳ२२४०†ลℓк †๏ мэ 04:04, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Tiven2240 This is the section to ask for unprotection. The article is already under semi-protection and pending would not stop the editors who are already able to edit through semi, Wikipedia:Pending changes#Effect of various protection levels. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:57, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    CambridgeBayWeather i haven't asked for unprotection Twinkle has placed it here. At current this article needs pending changes protection because there are many edits unexplained with disruptive editing and vandalism. Please do appropriate changes in the protection. --✝iѵɛɳ२२४०†ลℓк †๏ мэ 01:43, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotection: Both pages were semi-protected from editing and fully move-protected for 7-8 years. Super Mario Guy (talk) 23:04, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Have you asked Gonzo fan2007, last edit 12 March, and Graham87, last edit today? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 23:47, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes. Super Mario Guy (talk) 00:19, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • For what it's worth, I get very suspicious when I see a new account start with edits to the account's own talk page and home page. This is something a sock editor I've dealt with does. It removes the red account name and talk link from the account. It also suggests a level of editorial experience I wouldn't expect out of a new editor. Springee (talk) 01:18, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected No good reason to unprotect has been offered. Courcelles (talk) 02:26, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.
