    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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Current requests for protection

    Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section.

    User talk:Isis (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

    Indefinite full protection: I don't think Wikipedia's first-ever banned user will be receiving any relevant updates anytime soon. — Francophonie&Androphilie(Je vous invite à me parler) 06:35, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent Spamming. FrankDev (talk) 04:52, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined - decline, spamming as usual. Materialscientist (talk) 04:54, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    How does "spamming as usual" not warrant protection? --FrankDev (talk) 06:14, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Talk pages are protected only in extraordinary circumstances, typically for a few hours. There is no recent spamming on this talk page. Longer protection must be discussed on talk:Main Page first - no admin will unilaterally protect that page (unless there is a clear spam/vandalism attack).

    "There is no recent spamming on this talk page."? --FrankDev (talk) 06:53, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Event ongoing so target of misinformation. ✍ Mtking ✉ 00:27, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment — The page also has some level of IP vandalism and possibly an edit war. Poison Whiskey 00:43, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment — Hmmmm ... might be worth considering full protection for 4 hrs; let the event finish then the results can be updated when they are known, WP is not a race. ✍ Mtking ✉ 00:49, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes full protection is now warranted, all of these edits lack WP:RS as the event is ongoing it is not possible to verify each edit. ✍ Mtking ✉ 03:05, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending changes: BLP policy violations. Geraldo Perez (talk) 21:36, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Dreadstar ☥ 06:02, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending changes: it is a BLP edited by various non-constructive IPs, de-wikifying the article and introducing unreferenced blatant POV like "he is the only ecology trained architect". --ELEKHHT 21:33, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – The case is in the court and the suspect (innocent until sentence per universal law) declared it was an accident. Some users are trying to impose the article as an assassination for POV reasons. E4024 (talk) 21:14, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment Article was moved to Murder of Sevag Balıkçı (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Armbrust The Homunculus 00:00, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by IP's and sock accounts.

    One particular sockmaster, ChronicalUsual keeps coming back every other month to vandalize. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/ChronicalUsual/Archive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/GraceMoney

    Many disruptive Ips as well, such as just recently.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3A71.178.201.4

    The Syrian civil war is a main page article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and is considered a controversial article. As such it is common to vandalized such as in this method yesterday [1] or this today [2] Sopher99 (talk) 21:50, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Sopher99 (talk) 19:56, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Agree. The IPs are really getting annoying. -- FutureTrillionaire (talk) 01:29, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated information about a purchasable release on December 16 in France is being added yet after numerous comments in the edit summary about this being checked the information given is not in the references provided. IPs mainly. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 18:09, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Constant disruptive and quite illiterate edits by anonymous IP user(s), which turn the page into a tabloid. Please, protect the page, I am tired of reediting it and "cleaning" it up. Thank you. MarizzaRojas (talk) 18:50, 29 December 2012 (GMT+1)

    Current requests for unprotection

    Shortcuts

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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 Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia: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.
