    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

    Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create 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 Vandalism, scores of of vandal edits from unregistered IPs. The edits include repeated references to beheading. Someone is (are) projecting a lot of anger. Needs more than just an IP block; vandal has dynamic address. Thanks. ~~ Ropata 13:03, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protect. High level of IP vandalism. The nature of this subject obviously attracts puerile individuals and with the current media attention that the Jenkem phenomenon is experiencing I believe semi-protection for a while might be a good idea. meco 21:23, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 10,000 minutes, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. east.718 at 22:29, 11/6/2007

    indefinite semi-protection Vandalism, IP vandalism. The vandalism of this topic has been pretty consistent due to the subject. I don't see this changing anytime soon. .KnightLago 20:58, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Less than one incident of vandalism a day - given the topic that seems an acceptable level. WjBscribe 21:13, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Semi-protection. Masses of vandalism from multiple IP addresses. This should probably be placed on extended semi-protection given the circumstances (nature of the vandalism and extensive history of vandalism like it). Yamaguchi先生 20:48, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected with an expiry time of 6 weeks. Ryan Postlethwaite 20:52, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined - Jimbo's page takes a lot of hits, but it's an important page to keep open - it often stops vandals working in the main space. At present, there simply isn't enough vandalim edits to the page. Ryan Postlethwaite 20:48, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Ryan Postlethwaite 20:49, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Please revisit this. IP has now evaded four blocks, this is tiresome and is repellent to constructive editors. Benjiboi 21:10, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. WjBscribe 21:11, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected - For 2 weeks. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 20:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Semi-protect One month. *ALL* the edit warring is anon IPs, given the extremely high profile nature of the subject currently. As the warring is all anons POV pushing in ten directions, and fighting amongst themselves, no reason to punish everyone--just to stop them fighting. • Lawrence Cohen 20:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Fully protected - Been fully protected. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 20:32, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Semi-protect. Too much vandalism has been made, and IMO (please try to disprove me) the majority of edits made lately during the uncontinuous periods for which this article has been unprotected have been vandalism, and so I request no unprotection within the next 6 months. Georgia guy 19:50, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected - Semi-Protected for 1 month; After that you can re-apply for protection if it is needed. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 20:29, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    temporary semi-protection Fan Cruft, information being changed repeatedly that is not verifiable. One week to allow for the next episode to clear up the situation should be sufficient. Padillah 19:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Unprotection' The article has been blocked for a week due to an edit war. The block is due to expire in a few days, however there is no active discussion of the issue. I am too involved to unprotect myself.TSO1D 15:12, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Un-protected. Nishkid64 (talk) 16:20, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotection. Consensus over there seems to be calling this protection administrator abuse; however, I do not know if the edit war over Thompson's age will restart. I am not unprotecting because of such, and requesting unprotection here. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 19:19, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for significant 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 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.

    Please replace the featured picture tag with {{FormerFeaturedPicture|delist/Cartoon Villain}} as its featured status was revoked per Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Cartoon Villain. MER-C 05:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Done east.718 at 06:11, 11/6/2007


    Hi, I need to add a significant edit to the page and approval has been reached. My request is here:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fred_Thompson#Edit_Protected

    Please add it as soon as possible.

    Jeremy221 05:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    I already mentioned this in the request below. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 02:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    I am requesting that the following be added to the page, complete with sources in the right places: Thompson began dating Republican consultant Jeri Kehn in July 1996, when she was 29 and he was 53.[95] Their 24 year age difference has prompted a flurry of speculation in the news media on its possible effects on his presidential aspirations, with the consensus being that she is an asset to his campaign.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].[8]. I would add it, but I was the protecting administrator. (copied and pasted from my TP) -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 23:45, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    As a side note to whomever takes this, there is also an {{editprotected}} request on the talkpage of said article. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 01:24, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Only to add the {{subst:afd1}} template and commence the AfD discussion according to the deletion protocol. patsw 18:35, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Done You can start the AfD anytime - I won't because I'm not intimate with the situation. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 19:43, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Would be more useful as a protected redirect to The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. east.718 at 15:44, 10/24/2007

    Done - good call, and this is totally unrelated to previous two AfDs for a nonsense article. Useful redir - Alison ❤ 16:35, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    one-month semi-protect: this article attracts lots of vandalizing edits that require significant maintenance. Cyanide is a chemical with easy name recognition that attracts thrill-seekers. The article is mainly a mundane report on the chemical species CN-, which is a mature, not an evolving subject. Rarely has an unregistered or new user useful content to contribute on this technical subject.--Smokefoot 13:32, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined. Unfortunately this wouldn't be in line with policy given the low rate of vandalism and that this is essentially "preventing anonymous editing in general" (per WP:PROT). I'd encourage you to check out the new project Veropedia which aims to solve this problem with off-site Wikipedia:Stable versions (with a few improvements). – Steel 15:16, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He refuses to listen to reason (all the arguments all over the talk page) and uses personal attacks ('dirty racist pig') in his edit comments.

    Related to above request and request also in requests for editing help section. Please do not assume that this is not a "good faith" request; it is; please see the reasons stated in Talk:Nobel Prize and the image talk page; there are deleted templates that are required at the top of the image, given ongoing dispute about its copyright status (Wikipedia:Media copyright questions); it has no date of expiration for protection; if people fear that it would be deleted from Wikipedia because it is not used anywhere (if removed from Nobel Prize), it could be placed in Nobel Peace Prize and/or in Norman Angell, where it pertains more, and is more encyclopedic, and thus would still be somewhere while it is under further review. --NYScholar 06:13, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
