Revision as of 04:09, 13 December 2008



    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 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.

    semi-protect. High level of IP vandalism and phony username vandalism (usernames made up for the purpose of vandalizing this article). Someone is injecting his own, personal hatred of Troy Davis into the article by vandalizing it persistently. This user(s) mistakenly and perversely thinks the way to honor the slain officer is to engage in blatant vandalism, making unsubstantiated wild claims, using dishonest words, deleting arguments of innocence that he doesn't like, etc. Article needs protection immediately, including from phony usernames. User:SelfEvidentTruths (talk - contribs) 04:09, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection History of large-scale vandalism. Since vandalism on Dec 9th, there have been over 40 edits, most of the unconstructive (diff to the current). Since my last vandalism correction on May 14th, there have been over 750 edits, most unconstructive. Everyone seems to like smilies and can't resist leaving their mark, it seems. Wrs1864 (talk) 03:24, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. Cirt (talk) 03:49, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection, There is one editor that is not happy with the merger/change of lineup of the new Sirius XM service and is using this article to air his/her grievance of that fact (one of the stations he/she liked got deleted). (S)he has edited under at least three different usernames (2 IPs and one as Mgsnv2). The registered name has been warned at least once but it's been a 3-4 day deal..τßōиЄ2001 (ǂ ) 02:02, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks! (EhJJ)TALK 02:45, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, This is getting ridiculous. About 2/3 of the last 50 edits were either vandalism or reverting vandalism. Please s-protect..Jonathan321 (talk) 21:36, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi protection requested Somewhat long pattern of vandalism from IPs, and there's someone on a dynamic IP or proxy IP that's just been blocked on one of his/her IPs and may soon get another IP. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 21:31, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Rjd0060 (talk) 22:14, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    indefinite full protection recreation of article by an SPA after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flower (Bambi) was closed as redirect to Bambi. Cunard (talk) 21:23, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected --VS talk 01:18, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protection vandalism, Edit warring with IP's. They keep adding a list of characters for the game, but the source used is not reliable as per WP:VG and WP:PW, resulting in the removal of the content. The IGN source they use is only for the boxart, which does not verify the list of characters. Needs SP, for now, for about a month..SRX 21:19, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. --VS talk 01:16, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection Endless stream of vandalism from anonymous editors; I don't think you'll find any constructive edits in recent history from IPs. Heavily-trafficked article, but sometimes goes hours before blatant vandalism is reverted. If indefinite is declined, please consider at least temporary semi-protection for now. Thanks in advance either way! --Midnightdreary (talk) 21:11, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for two weeks. Tan | 39 21:13, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Sounds good for now. Thanks! --Midnightdreary (talk) 21:15, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite move-protection, There is no reason for it to be moved, and anti-tax people might move it to something like "Government theft"..Jonathan321 (talk) 20:46, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined. We don't do this preemptively. Tan | 39 20:47, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    indefinite full move protection Page move vandalism. Cunard (talk) 20:40, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Move protected لennavecia 20:58, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    indefinite full move protection while keeping the temporary semi-protection of the article until February 20, 2009. Page move vandalism by Grawp. Please also add indefinite full move protection to Talk:Jackie Chan. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 20:35, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Move protected indefinitely for both articles. While there was really no harm in protecting these (it's extremely unlikely they will need to be moved), it's really unnecessary to request this for Grawp move vandalism that happened four days ago. Tan | 39 20:40, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It is necessary. Grawp constantly targets the same pages. See Sweden for an example. Since the article has been moved within the last 8 hours, could you move protect that too? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 20:50, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection, I think this page should be protected until he is indicted..Jonathan321 (talk) 20:20, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There are also productive edits from IPs in the recent history. لennavecia 21:00, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection - Considerably high amount of IP vandalism over the past few days. -- Commdor {Talk} 20:11, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Article has been consistently protected over the past year in escalating durations, which is why I've chosen one month. لennavecia 21:04, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Move protection. Edit warring and moves. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 15:31, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Move protected indefinitely. Tan | 39 15:37, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi or Full Protect. Edit wars, Vandalism, and Unsourced content. Initial page was inaccurate as to many facts - mainly guitar playing style - and so I corrected the page. Rather than reply on my personal opinion, the revised article that I submitted referenced facts taken from a 1993 music book which included interviews with Glenn Tipton himself: Judas Priest Hell Bent For Lead Licks: A Lead Guitarist's Guide to Judas Priest by Nick Bowcott (Hal Leonard Publishing). On the back cover, near the barcode are the following details: Reference number: HL00660089. ISBN 0 - 7935 - 0257 - 8

    Despiet this, edits back to fallacious info is being perpetrated by 62.56.97.189

    NemesisRogue (talk) 15:25, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi or Full Protect. Edit wars, Vandalism, and Unsourced additions. Protected once or twice before, did nothing to help the situation.WillC 04:35, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Continue to revert and warn for vandalism and unsourced additions. Report any 3RR vios for content disputes, directing those to use the talk page. Re-request here if edit wars persist or if vandalism resumes heavily after protection lifts. لennavecia 21:13, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Three IP users (perhaps one person) are having a field day today. One of them went on a spree earlier, with a dozen different phony changes, and now one has twice added some unknown as the school's principal.—Largo Plazo (talk) 21:40, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • Note The user who tried to add that principal contacted me on my talk page and asked me to stop reverting his change that he claims is legitimate. I pointed out to him that just minutes earlier a user on that IP address had changed the principal to Rick Astley, following a trail of definite vandalism, and suggested that for that reason, if he intended to make that change, he probably needed to look at WP:V and cite a reliable source for it. —Largo Plazo (talk) 22:08, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined The recent vandalism is just from a couple IPs. Better to deal with them with warnings and blocks than protect the page. لennavecia 21:18, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection because he has just agreed to a contract with the New York Yankees and multiple users and IP's keep placing that it's official yet he has officially signed. So please temporary protect the page. Thanks!--Iamawesome800 23:31, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Xclamation point 01:18, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    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.

    Unprotection, This should be a redirect page to I Love Money (Season 2), but I can't create the redirect since it's protected. If it's unprotected, I can make the redirect or someone could do it for me. Also, there is a redirect page entitled "I Love Money 2" which should be deleted (in my opinion), but I can make a separate request for that one if necessary. Thanks!.Plastikspork (talk) 23:31, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotected, "I Love Money 2" deleted per your request (g7). Cenarium (Talk) 23:43, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Yep, thanks. ThatWikiGuy (talk) 14:04, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotection. As per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, I would like to request unprotection of the redirect page The Foxes so the page can be moved to the correct primary article (The Foxes (band)). Thanks for your time. Blaze42 (talk) 13:02, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks for your time, and for unprotecting the redirect page - much appreciated! Blaze42 (talk) 16:04, 12 December 2008 (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.

    semi-protect. A dispute that has been going on for a while over a record made by TS Marco keeps stirring up back and forth reverts. Semi-protect for at least three days would be preferred. A request may have to be made to the article for Marco if activity increases there. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 22:59, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Users warned for edit warring on the Marco article. I'd hold off on protecting this unless the dispute resumes. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 23:51, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protection vandalism, A request for semi-protection that I think was reasonable was declined yesterday. When IPs are cleaning up half-hour-old vandalism from other IPs, as happened today, it's a good sign that we have a problem. Please consider semiprotecting this article.

    Comment: There's been very little vandalism because it's been semi-protected since November 17, 2006. Warring over similar articles is common, so I'm quite reluctant to remove protection. Perhaps another admin would like to unprotect and keep an eye on it? —EncMstr (talk) 07:19, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Unprotected, although I am not that optimistic about it. I'll keep an eye on it. J.delanoygabsadds 16:31, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    Indefinite semi-protection - vandalism:

    For the last few months, IP vandalism and reversion thereof makes up almost the entirety of the page history. While there's not a huge amount per day, the unrelenting nature makes any productive work on the article very unlikely, and may result (may have resulted?) in corruption of the article if someone messes up the depth of the revert. It's been going on so long, and with so many IPs, that I don't think that any timed protection would help much. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 04:30, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 90 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I'll keep an eye on it and if it continues after the protection ends, I'll be happy to lengthen the protection. Dreadstar 05:11, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, The winner of the Heisman Trophy will not be announced until December 13th. Various IPs are adding the names of their favorite players as the winner of this year's trophy. I suggest the page be temporarily protected until December 14-15 after the winner has been announced. .BlueAg09 (Talk) 03:44, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection please. This article has been vandalized by anonymous IPs several times a day, every day, for months - eight times in the last 24 hours alone. Constructive edits by IPs are rare. This level of vandalism has deterred good faith editors from trying to improve the article. The vandalism is so great (often in multiple edits) that it becomes difficicult to revert it completely.

    Semi-protection High level of IP vandalism. Willking1979 (talk) 01:47, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect Recently a large level of anon vandalism, by multiple IP addresses. The previous semi-protection (a while ago now) did wonders in reducing similar levels of vandalism. Iciac (talk) 01:43, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, recent wave of IP vandalism, see talk pages of some IP's that didn't get immediately reverted..Andrewlp1991 (talk) 01:20, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection - There's only an average of 1 or 2 instances of vandalism per day, however, this is a topic that doesn't really change much, so vandalism edits make up the strong majority of the edits to the page. I've had to go in and clean up this article many times because a bot didn't catch something. --Samvscat (talk) 01:08, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protect - seems like this page is a hit target for anons who disagree with him etc, shows up as vandalism in recent changes so much. BrianY (talk) 00:49, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
