This page is for requesting that a page, image or template be fully protected, create protected (salted), semi-protected, move-protected, 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 is 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 back to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.
If you would like to request a page to be protected or unprotected, please follow the following steps:

'''Temporary Semi-protect'''. High level of IP vandalism. ~~~~

Semi-protection, There have been multiple online rumors that Aretha Franklin has passed away, however there are not been any credible reports that this has actually happened. There have been some edit wars already on the page going back and forth between Franklin having passed away or not passed away. --Flyguy33 (talk) 05:28, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Way too much IP editing providing the blow-by-blow updates, as is endemic in these articles. Temporary protection will suffice: as soon as the TV show is over the kids will start doing something else. Drmies (talk) 04:30, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

>Article already seems to be pending changes protected which should be enough for IP editing only. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ② 06:02, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Disregard that. The article may be Pending Changes protected, but it's doing absolutely nothing to stop the flood of IP editors. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ② 06:34, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Indefinite create-protection, I appreciate that this editor is now blocked but I thought I'd request create protection as this page was used as a blatant attack page so that when they're unblocked (hopefully) they won't re-create it. 5 albert square (talk) 00:19, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, The same (apparently) defamatory edit coming from different IPs from the same range (OPAL telecom) on different days. The fact that this is once per day shows this is more than random vandalism. Fæ (talk) 22:29, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection vandalism. This page was semi-protected for a one week period and it completely stopped the vandalism, which is 100% from unregistered users, only to resume again after protection was lifted. The page is high traffic and lots of info is being lost in the frequent reverts and blanking. -Lhall (talk) 22:15, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Declined, for now. It's hard to tell what's going on. Some of the edits seem okay, and the material being removed is unsourced, at least in the diffs I looked at. Can you give some examples of the vandalism or bad editing? SlimVirgin talk|contribs 22:39, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- Sure thing. Most of the problematic edits are small, but they are constant. Lately it's all related to rumored toys coming out, as in this edit -- I've removed that one at least 20 times in the last month or so, but I've been doing that for several months now and it keeps coming back. Additionally there's the occasional drop-in vandal and blanking. Here's an example of some random blanking and replacement and there are often instances where content is blanked and totally re-written...not necessarily a bad thing, but the quality varies and it's pretty inefficient. I've tried to add in references where possible, along with citation needed tags, but they never stay in place long enough to make a difference.
- Ultimately, it seems that most of the IP edits are coming from the younger end of the fans' age spectrum and from random drop-ins, and I think encouraging them to actually register and learn the rules of Wikipedia would benefit the article immensely. I think the article is significant enough to warrant this type of attention, given that it's getting 2.5k views minimum per day. I'm happy to provide more examples if needed. Thanks! -Lhall (talk) 01:19, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, Ive lost count how many times this page has been protected. Long term protection is needed, vandalism is picking up as well as unsourced edits. Thank you. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 21:58, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection dispute, I have been watching this edit war for weeks. there has been a constant back and forth on this page. It is driving me crazy. lets stop the IP edits, have the people log in, and find a consensus. James Michael DuPont (talk) 20:00, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection for 3 months (the duration of the IP's block), or disable its ability to edit its talk page, or both. Improper use of talk page while blocked, posting WP:NPA bogus claims of "socking" against various users. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→
- Done. Reblocked minus the ability to edit his talk page. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 19:37, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Current requests for unprotection
සංස්කරණයIf you simply want to make spelling corrections or add information to a protected page that is not disputed, and you are not involved in any disputes there, consider simply adding {{Editprotected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. See the list of current {{Editprotected}} requests.
If you want an existing page unprotected, please try to ask the protecting admin first before making a request here.
Check here if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Unprotection, Template talk page was indef semi-protected in January of this year with the reason "Attracting to much nonsense. Note: This talkpage is not about some article, it is about the | template". This came after only one recent instance of vandalism, which is hardly enough to merit semiprotection. cymru.lass (hit me up)⁄(background check) 02:12, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
- Not unprotected Looks like it attracted almost nothing but spam last year. Doesn't seem that IP's want to edit this page legitimately. Courcelles 02:33, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

සංස්කරණයUnprotection, Was originally protected due to a sock-puppet who appears to be no longer active. Protecting admin has no issue as long as an eye is kept on the article. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 19:57, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
සංස්කරණය- When making requests here, either:
- Provide a good reason for a substantial edit to a protected page. These are only done in exceptional circumstances, or when there is very clear consensus for an edit and continued protection. Please link to the talk page where consensus was reached.
- Demonstrate that there is a clear dispute over a protected page, and that a specific dispute tag would be appropriate to add. Please link to the talk page where the dispute exists.
Note: Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add {{Editprotected}}, {{Editsemiprotected}} or {{Request edit}} to the article's talk page if you would like an inconsequential change rather than requesting it here.

සංස්කරණයTemporary semi-protection vandalism, After being protected for a month, this list is being has immediately suffered from a daily blitz of unhelpful IP edits trying to add non-reliable sources to prove that Enthiran is the #1 film by box office income in India. Exactly the same reason that the Enthiran page is protected. This is either lobbying or overly keen fanboys with the same unencyclopaedic result. Fæ (talk) 18:14, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection (with possible pending-changes protection until day before countdown) While nothing as yet has happened to this page in particular, the request comes out of the vandalism that occured on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2008 and Triple J Hottest 100, 2009 pages at the very start of the respective years (for the whole month of January). During and after the 2008 countdown (and reiterated for the 2009 countdown), it was agreed by the editors at the time to put the page under semi-protection during the countdown. (The pending-changes protection is simply to curb predictions by the few auto-confirmed editor-vandals, and may be ignored as seen fit.) JB Adder | Talk 14:41, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
