Revision as of 14:20, 15 July 2006



    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 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. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Bob Jones University (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    'Semi Protection' requested. Page fully protected at present. 'Bibb Graves' entry now in second edit war. First edit war resulted in balanced, neutral compromise language. Latest edit war resulted in lengthy negotiations on talk page. I agreed to accept the other party's research that Graves was a KKK 'Exalted Cyclops' as opposed to 'Grand Dragon.' However, I asked that the remainder of the post revert to the previous compromise language that the other party had overwritten. He declined. Wants to dictate format and wording of the post as well as Graves' KKK title. Will not yield on any point. See 'Bibb Graves' on the talk page & judge for yourself.

    Semi protection - This page is edited time to time by people who wish to add hidden content to the page, which disrupts the page, making the whole page hidden. It mostly occurs by unregistered editors, so I feel that it needs to be protected.

    Semi protection - This and every other future year up to around 2045 is being targetted for revert on the naming of the japanese year by a variety of IPs. Its constant and ongoing result in constant reverts to the page. Here is a pretty complete list from one day [2]. Never the same IP or range (though a lot in this range). All need to be semi-protected until the IPs cut it out. --Crossmr 06:46, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    That is one of the IPs, however if you view the history of 2020 and several other future years, there are a lot of different IPs involved, 59.112.187.24, 210.200.105.229, 210.200.105.226, 61.231.57.160, etc. --Crossmr 15:11, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Wikipedia:Israel (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

    To many vandal/invalied request are made. Also, note that you should use ==== instead of === to add section here.Voice-of-All 00:04, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:War on Terrorism (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

    The following articles removed from the template definitely belong there:

    1. Bybee memo. It is about the prisoners captured during the War on Terrorism. 2. Combatant Status Review Tribunal. It is about the prisoners captured during the War on Terrorism. 3. Extraordinary rendition. It is about the prisoners captured during the War on Terrorism. 4. Long War. The Bush Administration has callen the War on Terrorism that. 5. Unitary executive theory. It is about the prisoners captured during the War on Terrorism. 6. U.S. government response to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Do I need to explain? 7. Detroit Sleeper Cell. This was certainly not a main event.

    The following articles were added, and shouldn't have been:

    1. 2002 Bali bombing. This was not a main event. If the Madrid and London attacks are not listed, why this one? 2. Hambali. His organzation's article is listed, and has a link to his. 3. Khadaffy Janjalani. His organzation's article is listed, and has a link to his. 4. Shamil Basayev. His organzation's article is listed, and has a link to his. 5. Moscow theater hostage crisis. The Second Chechen War article is listed, and has a link to it.

    Notice that the articles that belong there even the template, and the ones that don't doesn't have it.

    As the Second Chechen War and the Al-Aqsa Intifada are ongoing conflicts, they should be listed as "Contemporaneous conflicts", just as the other war templates have that section.

    Also, why were the borders of the flags removed? Esaborio 06:18, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Downgrade to semi, no reason for this to be fully protected, it isn't a HRT and it being a semi-protection template it only needs to be semi-protected (so non-autoconfirmed users cannot vandalize it to vandalize articles). Kotepho 01:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for significant 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.

    Republic of China (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Semi-protection Starting on July 5, this article as well as several other Taiwan and China related articles have been the target of persistant POV pushing instigated by an anon operating mostly from the 167.7.39.* IP range. Repeated requests were made to the anon to discuss the issue rather then engaging in repeated reversions, however all requests have been ignored by the editor who continues to make several attempts every day. The situation has escalated to the point where the edit warring has become disruptive. I am requesting semi protection in hopes that this will prompt the anon to engage in dialouge instead of continuously reverting. -Loren 23:29, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    I have blocked the anon for violation of WP:3RR. -- King of 00:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Dinosaur (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Semi-protection Yesterday there was a vandal(I.P.) that kept on vandalsing the article so it said somthing about the dinosaur not existing because there not in the bible. He did multiple times before he was blocked. I think it should be locked for few days(maybe weeks) since I.P.'s can change and if he did multiple times he'll probally do it again.--Scott3 21:43, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Just a comment, most of the edits in question seem to originate from 195.93.21.7 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). While the IP is registered to AOL, I find it interesting that it remained constant throughout all the edits. Perhaps blocking that single IP might be a better idea until he/she comes back under a different IP. -Loren 23:39, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Unless the vandal returns under another IP address, I don't think this requires protection. Watchlist and revert as necessary. Zetawoof(ζ) 00:04, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    He has a AOL account and he has used multpile account(atleast 2 maybe more) and he did vandalise dinosaurs with another account. Also he keeps on doing it I think this does require temporay semi-protection for a few days.--Scott3 03:36, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection anonymous users frequently add alot of cruft (such as their house rules), shoutouts to individual people, and just random crap. It has been going on for a long while, as since it is associated with drinking cultyre it is a frequent target. Furthermore the article is listed as a good article and myself and several others are trying to improve it to FA; which will be more difficult without semi-protection --larsinio (poke)(prod) 14:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Crossfit (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Semi-protection anonymous user has reverted and has threatened to keep reverting page back to his POVish version including deletion of multiple citation requests and 19 actual citations ad infenitum. Also states he will find other IPs if his is blocked. Quote from anon user: "I will delete this the first thing every morning for the rest of my life, if need be". and "If you block this IP, I will find others." Also a lot of drive by trash and few registered users: makes it hard for the editors to keep up with the changes. --Cylon 13:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
