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.

Dan Schlund (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
full protect This article was briefly protected, but the admin withdrew after facing controversy from the culprits. This article has survived two AfD discussions, but a couple of disgruntled editors who are not willing to accept the result of the discussion are waging war against this article by repeatedly blanking the article then redirecting the title to jet pack. The main culprit, User:DreamGuy has a history of uncivil behaviour and socketpupetry: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13. 14 15 16 17 18 19 .... I could go on. Please help. Protect the the page. Thanks.

Current requests for unprotection
ShortcutsBefore 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.

Notable 17th Century Englishman who invented teeth, according to Stephen Colbert (March 5, 2009; 8:53pm PST). Consider allowing creation to support Colbert being correct about everything.
- Note: please contact the protecting admin, Ryulong (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA), first. –Juliancolton 05:06, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page
ShortcutIdeally, 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.
Fulfilled/denied requests
Waking The Cadaver (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
I see this page has been repeatedly deleted and now protected because of users recreating the page and putting useless, un-encyclopedic info in it. However, I would like to restart the article, as I have some actual relevant information on the band (when they formed, debut album, genre, lineup, etc.) For this reason I would like the page to be at least temporarily unprotected. What do you guys think?--Metalhead94 (talk) 03:47, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Declined You need to create the article in userspace first so it can be checked out. Make sure you include all the necessary sources to establish notability and make sure that the subject passes WP:MUSIC. Mfield (talk) 05:06, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Smoking (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, following the recent lift of semi-protection, a recurrence of ip-vandalism followed; this article is an endemic hot-spot of vandalism. ChyranandChloe (talk) 03:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. –Juliancolton 04:00, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Keratoconus (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Indefinite cascading semi-protection, There is a longstanding content dispute which has lead to a lot of churn in one particular section of the article and much discussion on the talk page. As has happened a few times in the past, there is an IP-hopping editor making personal attacks and muddying any productive discussion. As well, there is a history of SPA accounts making what appear to be promotional edits (the second SSP case has just been started because of this). If indefinite protection is not possible, temporary protection of at least the talk page may help. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 03:25, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Declined - Only one edit in the past few weeks, and if there is ongoing discussion at the talk page, page protection is not necessary. –Juliancolton 04:01, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- You must be looking at a different article than I am. Please see the talk page for gems such as this and take a closer look at the article's history. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 04:13, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
M-online (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Indefinite create-protection, Repeatedly created and speedily deleted under A7 and G11 respectively twice, deleted 3 times in one day, might never be notable. ViperSnake151 03:10, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Declined - User warned. - Rjd0060 (talk) 03:18, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Keith Olbermann (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
full protect. I think the history of the article says it all.;) Ann Coulter was nice enough to spread a bit of misinformation about Olbermann's education and there's been an invasion of established editors "correcting" which university he got his degree from. --Bobblehead 02:56, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Fully protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - Rjd0060 (talk) 03:20, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
User talk:Rockyobody (edit | ] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Infinite full protection of User:Rockyobody and User talk:Rockyobody. I am retiring, and I would not want anyone to vandil my page. - Rockyobody (talk) 02:47, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Done. Sorry to see that you've retired, and best of luck in real life. –Juliancolton 02:53, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Marquis Cooper (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Garrett A. Morgan (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Article has been repeatedly vandalized, with some attacks deliberately designed so that reversion introduces new errors; several sections lost and only recently restored. Clevelander96 (talk) 00:56, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. –Juliancolton 02:58, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Stan Van Gundy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Article has been subject to several IP users during ongoing issue between Van Gundy and Shaquille O'Neal, and will probably continue until the story goes away. Tampabay721 (talk) 00:21, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Already protected. –Juliancolton 03:00, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Murder of Tim McLean (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Temporary semi protection for perhaps a few days, surely not more than a week. Due to latebreaking events in the past few days, article has needed a lot of editing, but has also attracted a lot of vandals. Should calm down pretty soon. Hellno2 (talk) 22:55, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 24 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. --Kralizec! (talk) 23:20, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
