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

Shortcuts WP:RFPP WP:RFP WP:RPP 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. Skip to table of contents requests to raise protection lower protection requested edits (purge) Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level Request protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Pending changes: Vandalism: Reapplying for Pending Changes. After initial request was denied an IP address removed the majority of the article's content and replaced with non-neutral content. IP address also removed all of the article's references. Can you please re-look at this issue? Proboynow3 (talk) 11:30 22 August 2014 (UTC)

The Amazing World of Gumball (season 1) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Within 2 hours of page protection being lifted, an IPv6 editor submitted this deliberate misinformation. Note for example they change the airdates for "The Dress" to September 19, 2011 and "The Genius" to February 7, 2012, though TVGuide confirms the previous dates (May 23, 2011 and October 10, 2011) were correct. No explanation or source from vandal. Please also note that all the Gumball articles were protected for persistent vandalism, so if any are set to expire, I'd like to ask they be renewed as well. That would include: The Amazing World of Gumball, The Amazing World of Gumball (season 2) and The Amazing World of Gumball (season 3). I'm not sure what a reasonable amount of protection would be, but given how quickly the article was vandalized after protection was lifted, I think protection for a longer term might be warranted. Thank you!. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:49, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

The Rob, Arnie, and Dawn Show (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: Persistent anonymous IP vandalism. Page was semi-protected from 23 April 2013 to 23 April 2014. Semi-protection was very effective. Since the protection's expiration there has been continued removal of properly formatted and referenced/sourced information from the page. My edit/revert on 16:44, 22 August 2014‎ restored the information which has been most vulnerable to vandals. Mrwhite22 (talk) 17:06, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism from an IP editor, changing company ownership status (Ektron has not been bought/sold), changing competitors to list partners and agencies, changing product offerings to include very old products, changing leadership staff information. These edits have occurred multiple times over the past week. Egandalf (talk) 12:57, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: BLP policy violations – Repeated additions of contentious material over periods of time and goes unchecked sometimes. The page of the singer Nicholas McDonald has been semi'd for the same reason. Need an admin to delete some of the revisions too.  NQ  talk 08:57, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. No point in pending changes protection when nearly every edit from an unconfirmed user in the past five months has been vandalism. I've revdel'd a great deal of the edits per WP:RD2. — MusikAnimal 14:48, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

• WP:RFUP
• WP:RFPU

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.

Current requests for edits to a protected page

• WP:RFED

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.
