    This page is for requesting that a page, image or template be fully protected, 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.

    Instructions

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

    1. Add a level 4 header at the TOP of either the protection or unprotection list and place one of the templates from the table below within the header.
      (for example, for an article use: ===={{la|ARTICLE}}====)
    2. If you are requesting protection, place the type of request (full protection, semi-protection, or move protection) and a brief reason for your request below your header. If you are requesting unprotection, it is almost always a good idea to ask the protecting admin first before listing a page here.
    3. 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 usertalk page until the user is unblocked, please make this clear.
      • If you are requesting indefinite semi-protection, be aware that it is only applied to articles with endemic and endless vandalism problems which multiple increasing periods of temporary semi-protection have failed to stop.
      • Note that different expiry times can now 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.
    4. Sign your request with four tildes ~~~~ and save.
    • Note that this is not a venue for continuing an argument from elsewhere. 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.

    Temporary semi-protection , I am requesting page protection for this page for the same reason as Saxby Chambliss.Jonathan321 (talk) 23:42, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

    [edit] Saxby Chambliss (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

    Temporary semi-protection , This article will likely be lousy with claims that he won or lost once the polls close in 20 minutes. .Jonathan321 (talk) 23:38, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

    Declined. Page protection should not be used as preventive prior to the occurrence of problems. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 01:36, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

    [edit] Washington Irving (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

    Temporary semi-protection Seems to be a fair amount of vandalism of late (meaning the past month or so) but very few editors seem to have it watchlisted and reverts are slow. --Midnightdreary (talk) 22:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

    Declined – There is not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection at this time. If there's significantly more disruptive activity in the future, consider relisting. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 01:39, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

    [edit] Energy (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

    If 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 do want a page that exists 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.

    [edit] Peter Tobin (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

    Unprotection , Was protected as sub judice - it is no longer. [1].Scott Mac (Doc) 16:11, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

    Note: Already unprotected. Protection was lost when Rodhullandemu (talk · contribs) deleted and restored the page. - auburnpilot talk 16:17, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
    Why must this specific page be closed off to those who may be able to improve and/or expand it? If knowledge is not mentioned on this page and someone wants to help the write(s) of this article they cannot. Therefore I request that the information on this page be unprotected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mccleskeygenius1 (talk • contribs) 19:27, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
    This page is already unprotected. Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 19:33, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

    [edit] Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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, though most of these should simply wait for unprotection.
