    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.

    This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators.
    Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared.


    Current requests for increase in protection level

    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.

    O. J. Simpson murder case

    Pending changes: Reverts lately, including poor spellings and vandalism. --George Ho (talk) 09:16, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

    All recent reverts have been near-instantaneous. I don't see the value proposition of PC in this situation. Second opinions welcome. Samsara (talk) 12:47, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
    I think semi would be appropriate here.—CYBERPOWER (Around) 02:03, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
    IMO no protection needed. Vandalism is not frequent enough for semi, plus IPs do seem to make constructive edits at times. PC could be appropriate, but probably not needed. Next admin up gets to make the call! --MelanieN (talk) 04:27, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
    Looks like that's me. :) With no activity in the lsst week, I think the best thing is to watchlist the page and hit it with semi if it gets as busy again as it was at times in September and November. Samsara (talk) 05:54, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
    Not done Samsara (talk) 05:54, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

    The Gambia

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Various IPs making edits due to the current political situation in The Gambia. Could do with a very short period of semi-protection, maybe 24 hours. CMD (talk) 09:19, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 12 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Samsara (talk) 12:43, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

    Onam

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent attempts by anon IP editor to push POV and change description of the subject of the page since 17th Jan. Shimlaites (talk) 11:46, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

    You've urged me via my talk page to look into this, but as I am not particularly familiar with this subject, I have trouble seeing if this is a dispute or something else. I have previously been told that Sitush can give second opinions on this region. Sitush, if you have time, what would be your assessment here? Thank you. Samsara (talk) 12:55, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

    Erion Veliaj

    Temporary semi-protection: Libel and continuous vandalism. Lulushja (talk) 16:10, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism from School IP. The IP has been block multiple times so unsure if better to block the School IP or protect the frequently vandalized page. Apriestofgix (talk) 22:29, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

    Barbara Lerner Spectre

    Indefinite semi-protection: Jewish woman says Jews will promote multiculturalism. Cue anti-semitic conspiracy theories that she's the smoking gun who's revealed a zionist conspiracy for white genocide. . Brustopher (talk) 23:30, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

    LaTour

    Indefinite extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing – This BLP has been under attack by a host of SPAs who continually insert massive amounts of promotional language about their non-notable punk band beginning around 2009 and continuing today. The article subject himself has even attempted to revert this and been edit warred with. The accounts in question have edited virtually nothing but this article and a "now redirected" article about their own band and have nothing constructive to add. Please protect this BLP. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 01:05, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

    Temporary semi-protection: Repeatedly re-created. Should be WP:SALTed with at least semi-protection. ennasis @ 03:18, 22 Tevet 5777 / 03:18, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

    Ibn Tumart

    Temporary full protection: After revert edits stopped between two users (who were told to stop), while a dispute resolution procedure was made and while the conflict was being discussed in the Talk Page, waiting for a possible resolution this weekend, another user made a revert edit. . Fulgery (talk) 04:00, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

    The discussion didn't end, and he want to Leave his version (the controversial version) of the page. It's more appropriate to protect the version which was before the debate until the problem is resolved. As it will mislead the readers of the page. --Aṭlas (talk) 04:21, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
    Nothing is misleading or controversial in the current version. Before the appearance of another user, the edits had stopped in the current version and the question was discussed in the Talk page. The problem could be resolved this weekend by unbiaised users hopefully, but until then I think the article should be protected. Fulgery (talk) 05:55, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

    Flag of Brazil

    Semi-protection: The following IPs keep adding the Monarchist Flag of Brazil to the Article as a "Variant Flag": 187.101.92.131, 191.255.157.2, 189.47.231.246. By Law, Brazil has no "official" Variant flag and neither are Monarchist movements relevant enough in the Political Scenario to be featured like that in the Infobox. I'm always trying to revert their Vandalism, but they always end up doing it again. 2804:14C:B385:69E5:E473:3F45:CD9C:1510 (talk) 05:02, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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.

    Template:US Inflation

    Unprotection: A deprecated template without any article links. 219.79.180.148 (talk) 05:09, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

    Nominated at TfD. Samsara (talk) 06:12, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

    Hillary Clinton

    Unprotection: I don't see a reason why this was protected, there was not much vandalism or disruptive editing happening, and still isn't. Creeperparty568 ~ Cool Guy (talk) 03:20, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

    Not unprotected Has never been unprotected since 2007, and I think for good reason. There are certain high-profile articles that will inevitably attract IP vandalism. The reason you don't see it is because they're blocked from doing it. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:19, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Misplaced Pages:Edit requests 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.

    Handled requests

    A rolling archive of the last seven days of protection requests can be found at Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive.
