Revision as of 15:44, 11 April 2011

"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    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

    Indefinite semi-protection, Its a level-3 vital article and need protection because of several incidents of disturbing edits. . Bill william comptonTalk 13:55, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Can you give some examples of the problem edits? They're not jumping out at me. Also, the article is very slow to load, so it might be worth removing some of the citation templates. SlimVirgin TALK|CONTRIBS 22:47, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Reply: The biggest problem is that ips are fighting for their controversial edits 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 (don't know this ip's motive, but he/she was stick to add this secondary reference). They don't like to discuss anything on talk page 10 11 12 13 14 15. Most recent 16, 17 and 3; and these things are common now. Due to these types of conflicts and disturbing edits, many edits like this, which should be provided with external source, remain untouched (note, it was a FA for more than 3 years but lost its status because of such unsourced and improperly cited edits); article is full of many such things. As i said this article is a level-3 vital article (only 14 more cities' articles are in this list) for which Wikipedia should have a high-quality, and ideally a featured status; but if these kind of edits remain active than i don't think it would ever be able to achieve Feature status. So it's my request to make this article semi-protected or at least provide Pending-changes level 2 protection. Bill william comptonTalk 04:38, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Why it is here, it is neither denied nor accepted..Bill william comptonTalk 16:41, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary Semi-protection. High level of IP vandalism. There has been a relentless edit war in this article about Turkey, by anonymous IP users and also registered users. (Saguamundi) 14:36, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected by administrator ErrantX.. Airplaneman ✈ 14:21, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
