Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Long term target of banned user HarveyCarter using IP 92.7.*** and registered sock accounts. RashersTierney (talk) 19:21, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. _→AzaToth 20:48, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bad call. As if, having for two years entirely ignored their ban, they are suddenly going to see the light. We either enforce bans or we don't. RashersTierney (talk) 21:43, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruption. Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 19:00, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: IP hopping editor suddenly enforcing what he believes to be a "consensus" version of the guideline based on a discussion from 5 months ago despite the "amendment" having never appeared before; likely the IP of a banned editor. —Ryulong (琉竜) 17:23, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Needs improvement. PrivateMasterHD (talk) 17:23, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: This also applies to Dirty Pretty Things (band) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Eleanor Put Your Boots On (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Klaxons (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Lucid Dreams (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Murdoc Niccals (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), No You Girls (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Rab C. Nesbitt (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Tonight: Franz Ferdinand (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Ulysses (song) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and Walk Away (Franz Ferdinand song) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). A number of ever-changing anonymous IPs has been edit warring over these articles and likely more, changing any mentions of them being English/Scottish to British and vice-versa. This happens every day or two and has been going on for over a month now, with the anons showing no sign of heeding any warnings or engaging in any talk page discussions. Semi-protection should at least force these anons to register accounts if they want to continue edit warring and should also make it easier to contact them. I previously took this to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring but nothing came of it, so I'm bringing it here. -- I need a name (talk) 16:43, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blood: Franz Ferdinand (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Die on the Floor/Katherine Hit Me (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and The Fallen / L. Wells (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) too. -- I need a name (talk) 18:59, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full-protection: - edit dispute between someone running a pro-Jodi blog and other users.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:47, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent reverts by IP editor who refuses to discuss ignoring edit summary indicating navbox should contain actual articles. --Spshu (talk) 15:34, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – spam article about entirely non-notable company, created 3 times in 4 months by serial spammer/linkspammer who's just been listed at AIV and will probably be blocked in a minute. Captain Conundrum (talk) 15:00, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I'm running into bugzilla:49174 when trying to salt it. Legoktm (talk) 20:10, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Creation protected. It seems to have worked okay this time. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 23:47, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This had been indefinitely semi-protected by User:Hoary but the semi-protection was automatically removed when full protection expired (a glitch in our system). Could someone please restore the semi-protection; the article has faced BLP issues over the long term. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 14:45, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. We'll see what the need is after that period. Maybe indef again next. Alexf^(talk) 19:11, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template correction: No expiration date is listed on the padlock template. 21:05, 5 June 2013 (UTC)PrivateMasterHD (talk)

Indefinite pending changes: IP vandals continually asserting four years dead channel is coming back; pending probably a good frustrating step to chase them away. Nate • (chatter) 11:39, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 23:43, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeat of edit war by SPAs shortly after expiry of previous protection. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:38, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I can't see it at the moment. The most recent content removal doesn't seem to be the same that was happening before the previous protections, so I'm not certain it's the same. ANother admin may spot something I've missed though. GedUK  12:28, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 21:44, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Need this article protected while attempting to build consensus for neutral language in this controversial BLP. Federales (talk) 23:46, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. I can't see the need for it, but if you have diffs showing the problem, please ask again. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 23:39, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection. Edit war, with over 30 edits in just over a week with regard to anti-Israeli comments and content. No significant discussion on the talk page. Suspected sockpuppets. --Dmol (talk) 09:21, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Post script - I just noticed that the issue has been on the talk page but is archived. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Linux_Mint/Archive_Israel-Palestine_Controversy --Dmol (talk) 19:29, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection: Dispute over a player's nationality. 187.234.23.93 (talk) 18:34, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Same as posted in AIV on this issue. Both users warned. Alexf^(talk) 19:05, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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.

La jaula de oro (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotection Slim intended to move-protect them (see archive). Now RM is official, no need to be protected anymore. Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 21:51, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotect & enable pending changes protection: The page is currently semi-protected because the pending changes trial was over at that time. However, now that pending changes is back, can we try re-enabling pending changes instead? Please note that this BLP page received excessive BLP violations and it would be better for the page to have some protection rather than zero protection. Webclient101^talk 04:05, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected If we already know the page attracts excessive BLP nonsense, allowing IPs to touch it will lead to more work as the history will need to be eventually Revdel'ed or oversighted. Courcelles 18:04, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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.

A rolling archive of the last seven days of protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive.
