Requests for page protection
Shortcuts:

This page is for requesting that a page, file or template be fully protected, create protected (salted), semi-protected, added to pending changes, move-protected, template protected (template-specific), upload protected (file-specific), or unprotected. Please read up on 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 only to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection), and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars.

After a page has been protected, the protection is listed in the page history and logs with a short description indicating why it was protected, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. Further discussion should take place on the Talk page of the article. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins do not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

Instructions

If you would like to request a page to be protected or unprotected, please follow the following steps:

  1. If you are requesting unprotection, you must ask the protecting administrator first for unprotection. If the admin is unable to respond and/or lower protection then you can list your request on this page.
  2. Add a level 3 header (i.e. === [[Example title]] ===) with the namespace if not an article. Place your request at the bottom of either the protection or unprotection list, depending on the nature of your request, and place the pagelinks template below the header in the form of * {{pagelinks|Example title}}. Please make sure you have spelled the name of the article properly; a common error stems from mistaken requests for the protection of redirects, particularly capitalised ones.
  3. If you are requesting protection, write the type of request (full protection, semi-protection, pending changes, move protection) and a brief reason for your request below your header.
  4. Please do not add arbitrary requests for a protection expiry time to your request, or request indefinite protection arbitrarily.
    • If there is a reason for a page to be protected for a certain amount of time, such as protecting a user talk page until the user is unblocked, please make this clear.
    • If you are requesting indefinite semi-protection or pending changes, be aware that it is only applied to articles with endemic and endless vandalism problems which multiple increasing periods of temporary semi-protection or pending changes have failed to stop.
    • Note that different expiry times can be set for edit and move-protections, so an article can, for example, be semi-edit-protected for a week and full-move-protected indefinitely.
  5. Sign your request with four tildes ~~~~ and save.
  • Note: this is not a venue for continuing an argument from elsewhere nor starting a new discussion regarding content. If a request contains excessive arguing, is being used for edit-warring or content disputes, contains personal attacks or uncivil comments or any other unrelated discussion, it will be removed from this page.
Examples
For single page requests
=== [[Example Article Name]] ===
* {{pagelinks|Example Article Name}}
'''Semi-protection:''' High level of IP vandalism. ~~~~

=== [[Template:Example Template Name]] ===
* {{pagelinks|Template:Example Template Name}}
'''Unprotection:''' From full protection to template editor protection. ~~~~
For multiple page requests with the same criteria
=== Short descriptive header ===
* {{pagelinks|Wikipedia:Example Page Name 1}}
* {{pagelinks|Wikipedia:Example Page Name 2}}
'''Temporary semi-protection:''' High level of IP vandalism. ~~~~

I see now it was denied here, but this has happened multiple times like [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. The last three led to protection, last time. Or perhaps this dynamic IP can be blocked? Qed237 (talk) 23:17, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
Notify the admin, User:Ged UK, that denied request last time. Qed237 (talk) 23:18, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Geographic information system[edit]

Semi-protection: The great majority of edits during the last year are IP vandalism or spam. — Gorthian (talk) 00:54, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I don't see too much recent vandalism (the last instance was three weeks ago); the instances which do occur seem to be infrequent enough to be sufficiently managed with the conventional methods.

Religion in Israel[edit]

Semi-protection: IP editors with multiple addresses (and others) edit warring over the same content: see [8] [9] [10] [11]. LjL (talk) 02:48, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

So why do you war back if you have no idea what are you fighting over?
Can you even post a picture of a Dati person?
Do you know what mitzvahs do Masortim do, that Ultra-Orthodox don't?
Of course not, then why do you edit a page you know nothing about its topic?
Just to spite others, until you get enough undo`s for your 3RR complaint?
Uneducated behavior it is.
"Let me be very clear: I'm far from an expert in this article's topic." / LjL
You just admitted that in Talk:Religion in Israel. 79.178.140.27 (talk) 03:01, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

Shortcuts:
Please post requests in this section for removing or reducing the protection level of a page if the protecting admin is inactive or you have already asked them.
  • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "View 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 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 here if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Huccha Venkat[edit]

This article was salted. Ever since article has be rewritten with substantial references from various sources in draft Draft:Huccha_Venkat. This articles needs to be unsalted. Rajannamysore (talk) 00:13, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: @Rajannamysore: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 00:23, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Unprotection: From full protection to no protection because it has been thoroughly reformatted and references several reliable sources.Rajannamysore (talk) 00:28, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

You should have asked Graeme Bartlett on his talk page, as he is the protecting admin. Since you didn't, I pinged him for you. Katietalk 02:12, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
Well, I requested the article to restored in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion#Huccha_Venkat_2 I was redirected to this page. I am getting bounced from page to another. Rajannamysore (talk) 04:04, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks, but I didn't see your chat on his talk page. So, I have left a message on his talk page. Rajannamysore (talk) 04:10, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
I have requested that WP:DRV be the venue for this request, as the article has been voted delete three times. If there is a consensus for allowing the recreation then sure it should be unsalted. At the moment the draft is a bit of a negative BLP, but the community should examine it to override all the earlier deletes. The protection is a continuation of User:JohnCD's protect, as I restored the content for the draft. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:32, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
Where is anybody reviewing the article? what makes you think the "draft of a negative BLP"??? what do u think abt these articles Osama bin Laden, Umesh Reddy, Dhananjoy Chatterjee, Darbara Singh (murderer), M. Jaishankar, Murder of Hannah Foster, Santosh Madhavan, are these any positive BLP??? If Huccha Venkat is negative BLP, doesn't need to be listed on wiki, then these articles fare less chance than his. Let us start the cleaning process. Can't understand how much politics surrounds in free thinking forum. Every user suggesting to go to a new page to challenge the review. I see many users hoping from article to another, removing end spaces. They call it CONTRIBUTION. When an article is written accurately, there are some people trying to show off the rules. Enjoy the power vested in you. Rajannamysore (talk) 13:11, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
"This is not the place to request an article be unsalted; see WP:Requests for page protection#Current requests for reduction in protection level. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 17:32, 21 November 2015 (UTC)", "You should have asked Graeme Bartlett on his talk page, as he is the protecting admin. Since you didn't, I pinged him for you. Katietalk 02:12, 23 November 2015 (UTC)", "I have requested that WP:DRV be the venue for this request, as the article has been voted delete three times.

From "Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion" to "Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection" to "Graeme Bartlett on his talk page" to "Wikipedia:Deletion_review", Is there any end to this drama? I see a lot of misinformation floating here. It looks like confusing and redirecting the contributors is a smart way for some people to become important in WP.
