    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.

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

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, high ip vandalism. ◅PRODUCER (TALK) 17:47, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked./Semi 1-day. Pretty much a blatant 3RR violation on all sides. The range is too large to block, so semi-protected the article for 24 hours and blocked the registered user for the same period of time. Courcelles 17:57, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

    Java (programming language) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Temporary Semi-protection High levels of vandalism recently, particularly the insertion of random people into the list of the team who originally created Java. --Cybercobra (talk) 17:45, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

    American Academy of Financial Management (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Temporary full protection dispute, I am involved in a dispute over WP:ARTSPAM and WP:NPOV on this article. Rather than bring this to a WP:3RR issue to trigger WP:CHECKUSER on the editors involved, I would prefer that the article be locked down until the RfC and NPOV/Noticeboard I filed can run their courses. RJC Contribs 17:38, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

    Fully protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Courcelles 17:58, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

    Yellowpages.com (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Courcelles 17:48, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

    What Separates Me from You (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Constant genre warring and vandalism by IP addresses for an upcoming album by a popular group. GunMetal Angel 16:14, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

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

    semi-protection, Repeated introduction of copyvio content by newly registered or IP editors. I wouldn't request protection for generic vandalism at this relatively infrequent level, but I consider addition of copyvio material much more serious. me_and 15:51, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

    AT&T (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

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

    Temporary semi-protection, IP continues to perform an edit that casts BLP subject in negative light (sexual harassment) -- removing a source that indicates with perfect clarity that the subject was exonerated on these charges. The source preferred by the IP might be correct, but a change should emerge from consensus rather than edit-warring. IP editor is using ip-addresses across a range, so it isn't possible to put a block only on that editor. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 11:08, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Courcelles 11:17, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

    Current requests for unprotection

    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.

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

    Unprotect. Protected due to "Excessive vandalism". No evidence of vandalism on the page. The first protection was 10 days after the last edit, also. Now has been re-protected with no explanation. Bias against IP users? 82.152.216.15 (talk) 18:00, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

    Current requests for 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 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.

    Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, Repeated vandalism. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 08:01, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

    Well, I would have done it, but now it's a bit of a conflict of interest since someone just tagged it as CSDR3 (and I created the redirect), and while I think it's obviously a plausible typo given its history, I'd rather wait for another admin to review it before I go around protecting stuff. --slakr 08:23, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
    Recommend creation protection in this case. (talk) 08:26, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
    Fully protected and R3 declined. Courcelles 08:29, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

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

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism Persistent unsubstantiated and unsourced POV edits, by a single user about the wife of a current elected official, who is herself now a candidate for elective office. This has gone on periodically for years, but three insertions have now been made in the past week.

    Semi-protection. Vandalism has started right back up again after most recent protection expired. All IP and new user contributions, with the exception of one, have been unsourced and speculative, or simply incorrect. Yves (talk) 06:05, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

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

    Temporary semi-protection requested. Several IPs from Spain have been persistently spamming the article by adding a link to a fansite (not his official website), in Spanish, to the infobox. The article was semi-protected for a few days for the same reason on Oct 19, but after that semi-protection expired, the IPs resumed their spamming activities. A somewhat longer semi-protection period, perhaps 10-14 days, seems to be in order now. Nsk92 (talk) 05:21, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Courcelles 06:21, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

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

    Creation protection. (once speedied) Article was deleted at AfD, rather half-heartedly contested at DRV and was userfied to User:Misssinformative/Emily Schooley. Then a new editor re-created it (see logs) with what looks like a copy and paste move. This editor posted on my talk page that "There are enough of us willing and able to keep re-submitting her page until it's kept" and an IP editor that removed the speedy tag wrote in their edit summary that "this page should be kept and will be consistently reposted til it is". I have nothing against Emily Schooley but I have no time for disruption. I would also request variations like Emily Schooley (actor) and Emily Schooley (actress) are salted.
