It's been almost two years wince Jimmy Wales swung the ban hammer on this article, and almost one year since he invited the community to revisit it. If the page is going to remain verboten, its protection should probably develop an articulated reason. |
It's been almost two years wince Jimmy Wales swung the ban hammer on this article, and almost one year since he invited the community to revisit it. If the page is going to remain verboten, its protection should probably develop an articulated reason (At present, the reason is, "''deprecating protected titles''", which isn't a reason under the new protection regime--if I understand that correctly.) |

Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
---|---|---|
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.

semi-protection - Can someone please protect my talk page for just a day or so from anon edits so I can log on at least once without receiving an offensive message from an anon IP who's been harassing me? Hopefully if my talk page is protected they'll just move on. Thanks! Somno (talk) 12:25, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

unprotection , Page protected for too long, should be safe to unprotect now..Solumeiras (talk) 11:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.
{{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.{{Edit COI}}
template should be used.Per request here. Many thanks! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 01:09, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Final reversion by Lawrence Cohen on 22 January was minutes before page was protected during edit war. Eschoir returned from 24 hour block for edit warring that morning and straightaway started edit war again. This time he recruited Lawrence Cohen from WP:RFAR. As shown on talk page final revert by Lawrence Cohen is not supported by consensus or by Wikipedia policy. Please restore previous version by Samurai Commuter.

In the article on al-Qaeda: I'd like to request that a separate level-2 heading be created to discuss the essential issue of al-Qaeda's numbers. Nowhere in the article, as currently protected, is there a systematic discussion of the number of operatives in the organization. From the text of the article as it currently stands, al-Qaeda could include tens of millions of operatives, or less than fifty. This needless, dangerous ambiguity to the article ought to be addressed and corrected forthwith. --TallulahBelle (talk) 19:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to request that someone remove the M1 Abrams message at the top, WP:DENY. JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 04:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A rather unorthodox request. An arbitrator has protected this page, but left a conditional in her edit summary. For details, see here. The current "pp-dispute" tag at the top of the talk page tells people to come here to request unprotection. What I would like is for an uninvolved administrator to change that link (you may need to substitute the template) to point to User talk:FloNight#Agreement regarding Wikipedia talk:Requests for_arbitration/IRC/Proposed_decision instead. This will allow any uninvolved editors passing by, and unaware of the situation, to go to the right place to ask for page unprotection. Carcharoth (talk) 06:00, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure if this is the right place for this request, but nowhere else seems as appropriate. I'd like to request that Medicine Show be (re?)created as a redirect to Medicine show, but not (necessarily) unprotected. Note also the existence of Medicine Show (album). I found the SALT tag when looking for the Big Audio Dynamite single, incidentally. Tevildo (talk) 21:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protection High level of IP vandalism (entire first page of history is nothing but vandals and reverts). Has been semi-protected twice before, perhaps indefinite semi-protection is needed? Kamek (talk) 05:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
semi-protect. High level of IP vandalism. Yahel Guhan 05:29, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Should be unprotected and then reprotected to reflect Mike Gravel's current drop out of the race.
temporary semi-protection the threat of vandalism about "United States Permanent Resident Card" article. Due to recent event and issue about Taiwan's presidential election candidate Ma's "Green Card". Frank Hsieh incited Wikipedia as a source of his evidence. To prevent vandalism and Edit war to mislead the peoples who read this article,I request a temporary semi-protection to protect this article(request also filed to zh-tw version.)Hattonchiu1 (talk) 04:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protection - Unsourced POV pushing and reverts have been going on for many, many months. Generally registered users are willing to discuss it (see talk page), but there is no end with the IP users. As a result, several editors have retired from the article. Request semi-protection for a several months. Bendono (talk) 02:32, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am done working in my sandbox in NPOVing the article. I request unprotection. Quack Guru 04:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should be unprotected and then reprotected for a date far sooner than January 2012 (perhaps December 2008).--67.165.146.190 (talk) 01:42, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
temporary semi-protection Vandalism, Going on the amount of vandalism there has been recently, it'd be better to semi-protect it than to not do so..h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 02:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
semi-protect. This article is high profile and is prone to vandalism by anons. Popcorn was protected twice in the last two months, during this protection the vandalism stopped. Please review the history page of this article and some of the contribution histories of those who had their edits reverted. 209.244.43.112 (talk) 02:27, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protection. A lot of anon vandalism Alexfusco5 02:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
full-protecton - page is being disrupted by severe edit warring. - Neparis (talk) 01:37, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Full-protecton - page has been under edit wars of no consensus merge since November. Page was fully protected since 12/13/07, due to this. Nominated for AfD "because the merge discussion didn't work," which also resulted in no consenus, which led to page being blocked. Requesting full page protection to allow for a new merge discussion to initiate and conclude. -66.109.248.114 (talk) 01:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC).[reply]
Semi-protect. Perpetual IP vandalism. Since this page was un-semi'd about 10 days ago there have been over 40 edits, almost half reverts for anon vandalism. At some point real content was <!-- hidden -->, tires was changes to tyres, and only 2 or 3 meaningful edits were made. This has ramped up over the last two days (diff shows 17 edits over 2 days, mostly reverting IP vandalism). Last time (Jan 14) page was semi'd for a week. R. Baley (talk) 01:16, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
indefinite semi-protection , This article has been subject to additions of BLP-violating info by anon-IP's concerning smear tactics against a candidate in a major political election. It is likely to be vulnerable until Senator Clinton drops out of the presidential campaign..скоморохъ ѧ 00:46, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Temporary semi-protection Vandalism - Requesting my talk page to be semi protected temporarily due to IP vandalism from the 70.81.XX.XX range. This has happened multiple times, and will likely continue. Thanks. Milonica (talk) 00:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
