'''Temporary Full Protection:''' This video game is popular and really good, which makes alot of users coming to this article to vandalize it. These users had kept vandalizing the page and some users vandalize the page more than 3 times on 24 hours. As you can see here, the users edit history shows that some people are editing it and reverting: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Super_Smash_Bros.&offset=&limit=500&action=history]. If the page gets protected, hopefully, there will be no more false information to the article. [[User: KYR SMARTER|KYR SMARTER]] ([[User talk: KYR SMARTER]]) |

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

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent disruptive editing (unexplained deletions of sourced material) by a single anon user employing five different IPs resolving to Univ of Cal servers (3) and two other East Bay Area servers (Oakland; Walnut Creek) . Centpacrr (talk) 21:09, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: I don't like having to ask for a talk page to be protected, but we've been having issues with an IP-hopping troll/vandal/fruitcake for weeks, and nothing else seems likely to be effective. AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:48, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
Already protected. per a request on my talk page earlier. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:12, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism –
- [Vandalism] Persistent POV-motivated deletion of reliably-sourced content (deletes the exact same content again and again without appropriate reasons). Attempts to replace reliable sources with a blog as a reference (vietnamdefence.info/lichsuvietnamconghoa/vnch_lich-su-quoc-ky-quoc-gia-vnch.htm).
- [Sockpuppetry] Uses 8 different IPs to fabricate a false notion of "consensus", despite the very apparent and clear evidence that all IPs are from the same person, deleting the same content. IPs used (all from Saigon, Vietnam): 123.20.80.111, 123.20.100.205, 123.20.47.14, 123.20.45.169, 123.20.34.103, 112.162.135.122, 123.20.80.38, 123.20.27.70
- [Prolonged, disruptive edit-warring] [Trolling] Deleting the same content for the past 5 months. Blindly reverts reinstated content within minutes

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Multiple Ip vandals. Amortias (T)(C) 18:35, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:21, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
Pending changes protection: I have sort of monitored this article off and on for the last year, and during this time, this article has been semi-protected as least once. The primary issue regarding my request for protection is that this article seems to have IP editors who frequently attempt to add links to "Fantasy" or "High fantasy" to the lead of the article. Each time, the IP editor(s) are reverted per WP:BRD, but then never start a discussion. For this reason, since short-term semi-protection seems to not be working, I wonder if longer-term pending changes protection will? Steel1943 (talk) 18:05, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
Pending-changes protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:11, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Over the past four years, multiple IP editors and single-purpose accounts have edited or overwritten the page, according to their edit summaries at the request of Pamuk himself. This has happened on 5 August 2010, 27 June 2013, 3 November 2013, and 30 September 2014. I have not tried to contact any of these editors since they do not seem to stick around for any length of time and have not left email addresses on file, but the changes have been very disruptive—obliterating the work of other editors as well as categories, maintenance templates, and wikilinks even when text they kept adding already formed the majority of the article. —Neil P. Quinn (talk) 16:52, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:08, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Denie: User is refusing to discuss the change on the talk page or add any reliable source proving the Clash only played punk rock. If you look at the page the album is listed as post-punk. So they album should be changed to Punk if indeed the Clash is punk rock.--Fruitloop11 (talk) 05:56, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Infinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism - anonymous IPs keep engaging in vandalism at Deor's user page, so I make a request to semi-protect this page as I agree with admins to fully-protect their own user space if they have admin rights. --Allen (talk to me! / ctrb / E-mail me) 04:39, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
- I thank AllenHAcNguyen for reverting the vandalism on my user page, but I don't think protection is necessary. It doesn't happen that often, and if IP vandalism becomes a problem, I can always protect it myself. Deor (talk) 09:30, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Blatant copy vio. Rahat (Talk * Contributions) 03:56, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Ctg4Rahat:: If it is a blatant copyright violation, it chould be tagged for speedy deletion as per WP:CSD. Therefore, I don't think there is a need to protect it from editing. If it keeps being created again after deleting under CSD, your request should be for create protection, not semi-protection, which only protects from editing. Gparyani (talk) 16:29, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

2014 Iranian-led intervention in Iraq (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Temporary move protection: At 01:09, 2 October, a discussion was initiated about moving this article to "2014 Iranian intervention in Iraq" (dropping the word "led"). The discussion registered 1 note of support, 1 note of opposition, and 1 suggestion move discussion be tabled until a parallel RfC that effected it was worked through. ([5]) The editor initiating this discussion declared that "bias toward Syria and Hezbollah" ([6]) was evident, expressed a very passionate opinion that a move must happen immediately ("Iran leads no one.") and then, at 17:57, 2 October 2014, effected the move anyway. This article is currently under active community sanctions and a parallel article (2014 American-led intervention in Iraq) has suffered an endless sequence of charges and counter-charges of edit-warring. In order to avoid a probable flurry of 1RR reports, blocks of otherwise good editors, and repeated move/un-moves that will likely happen, I would like to request this very lowest level of protection - 1-week of move protection only; just long enough to allow the nascent discussion on the move to develop. DocumentError (talk) 20:31, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- The requesting editor here is the initiator of the numerous Admin actions on related articles and the many editors he disagrees with. He initiated the "endless sequence of charges and counter-charges of edit-warring" on the parallel article (2014 American-led intervention in Iraq) including a still active AfD. After reverting a single article name move he has rushed here to get it locked into his preferred POV title. Legacypac (talk) 21:09, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, LegacyPAC ... I'm afraid I don't know what the other issues you're referencing are about. I'm just asking for 1 week move protection while consensus is being built in the discussion you initiated: ([7]). Why do you object - were you planning on moving the article again prior to a consensus? You raised some great points in the discussion you initiated and, I think that, though you don't have a move consensus yet, if you give it a few days, you might develop one. In general, we don't usually move articles 15 hours after opening a discussion on the topic and after only 2 other editors have commented, both to object. Thanks for your great contributions to these articles! DocumentError (talk) 21:37, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- A partial list of issues is available at the ANI on DocumentError. i don't care that much about the goofy title now in use, and will not try to revert it again, but see no reason for a lock. Legacypac (talk) 23:44, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, Legacypac! Based on LP's pledge above, it sounds like this issue has self-resolved so I'm happy to withdraw this request for temporary move protection, but defer to the reviewing admin to do whatever she or he feels appropriate. DocumentError (talk) 00:00, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.
Fulfilled/denied requests
A rolling archive of the last seven days of protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive.
