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

Prilep-Bitola dialect (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

full protection please. This is, I think, the third time I've asked for this during the last few weeks. This article has seen a slow edit war since the end of August, all over the stubborn re-insertion of an off-topic POV sentence. The article has had some 75 or so edits since 29 August when it was first introduced [1], almost every single one of which was a revert. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:35, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Checking to see if protection is necessary. لennavecia 14:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. لennavecia 14:50, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

What do you think we've been doing??!? There's a solid, massive wall of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. I'm lost here. If this isn't a case for protection, I honestly don't know what is.

(And, honestly, "consider dispute resolution", said to an experienced administrator, after two minutes (!) of checking on the case [2], comes across as more than a tad patronizing. Have you even formed the vaguest of ideas about what this issue is about?) Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:01, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I endorse Jennavecia's decline. Tan | 39 15:47, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Fut.Perf, I'm sorry you felt I was being patronizing. That wasn't my intent. There have been 15 edits to the article this month, averaging less than two edits per day. In these situations, it's better to deal with users rather than the article. Take it to RFC or AN/I in order to get assistance with the users, but there's no need to protect the article for such a slow moving content dispute. لennavecia 16:09, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

RFC? On such an esoteric topic? Waste of time. No use even trying. RfCs never, ever, succeed in getting truly outside attention to such a minor issue. And what would I want at ANI? They'd tell me to go seek page protection. I'm requesting admin attention here. If you don't want to protect, do something else. Slow or not, this article has seen a straight sequence of 70+ reverts of the goddamn same stupid sentence, among <80 total edits in the last 2.5 months, not the slightest sign of progress in dispute resolution, and zero productive editing activity apart from that. And I, for one, have been trying. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:45, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

The situation you describe (and that I verify on the page history) is not a special case. You are right, this is a "minor issue" - so minor that reverting a few vandalism edits a day is preferable to protecting the article. We appreciate your vandal-fighting efforts, but your attitude here is certainly not appropriate. Tan | 39 16:52, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Current requests for unprotection

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

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.

Water-fuelled car (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

semi-protection. Over the last 24 hours, this article has been the subject of edit warring by several IPs, all of which geolocate to Lexington, Kentucky, and all make the same or similar edits. It's clear this is the same editor, but s/he's got a dynamic IP. Normally I'd take this to WP:AN/3RR, but due to the dynamic nature of the IP, a 3RR block won't do any good. A couple days-worth of semi-protection would, on the other hand, do some good. Yilloslime (t) 00:33, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Concur on this request (I'd do it myself if I didn't edit there regularly). Users like this either give up after a few days' protection or else are finally forced to discuss on talk (something they don't do otherwise). DMacks (talk) 00:42, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

full protection This article is repeatedly being edited and altered in whole by the person whom it is written about User:gleonardos in a way that does not conform with and raises concerns based on these guidelines. I have brought this to his attention on numerous occasions and he continues on as was. There is also an editor User:NcSchu who because of his disgruntlement with me over a dispute at Virgin America has continued to restore the non-neutral version of the article by gleonardos and make spellings corrections to the non-neutral content so he can blame me for also removing other edits when I revert it back to the last neutral version. Perhaps having edit protection would stop NcSchu, and force gleonardos to start allowing for oversight of what he wishes submit through the talk page as the guidelines specify. Thanks for your help and I suspect doing this for a short time will remedy the problem.

Slovenian IP addresses constantly come to this article, change his location of birth from Yugoslavia to Slovenia. When he was born, Slovenia didn't exist (well, as a constituent republic of Yugoslavia). Semi-protection to keep IP addresses from doing this would be great.
