Commonwealth of the Philippines (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary move-protection, 23prootie moved the page almost thrice without consensus and no attempt to discuss. He/she provided a single source. Historical documents showed that the name designated was really Commonwealth of the Philippines, not Philippine Commonwealth. (Likewise, the country itself is called today as Republic of the Philippines, but the article about Philippines is not called Philippine Republic as such.) Thanks.

Semi-protect. High level of vandalism. Pikiwyn 11:29, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

User(s) blocked: by Juliancolton (talk · contribs).. Single user issue, not a very high level of vandalism otherwise. tedder (talk) 15:28, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protection. Constant vandalism by IPs for nearly ten days. Laurent (talk) 10:51, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. One or two vandalisms per day does not constitute an "extremely high level of vandalism", which is required for protection (scroll up for that quote). For a quick guide, read WP:ROUGH. tedder (talk) 15:25, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protection. Ongoing edit warring and vandalism from multiple IPs at talk page following semi-protection of article. Rivertorch (talk) 10:14, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

N11 road (Ireland) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Move protection. After a series of contested moves of British and Irish roads, Sarah777 (talk · contribs) has announced an intention to move the road unless she receives a "valid objection". See User talk:BrownHairedGirl#N11_road.2C_clear_primary_location and Talk:N11 road (Ireland)#Requested_move). Move protection will ensure that a consensus can be formed before any move takes place.

Move protected indefinitely. tedder (talk) 15:20, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Current requests for unprotection

• WP:RFUP
• WP:RFPU

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on 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.

To Live A Lie Records (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

When speaking to protecting admin on 01:21, 11 August 2009 (UTC), was advised to post unprotection request here. Would like article unprotected. Even if it does not meet WP:BAND currently, it could qualify in the future and there was no abuse based around the article. Thank you. WillFastcore (talk) 21:47, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Not unprotected. Given the history of deletions, and your admitted conflict of interest here, I don't think that unprotection is a good idea until there is a proper draft article (e.g. in your userspace at user:WillFastcore/To Live A Lie Records) showing that the requirements of WP:BAND are satisfied. I certainly don't think that speculation that the article might qualify in the future is a good basis for unprotecting an article. Bencherlite 21:54, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

• WP:RFED

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 Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
• Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages: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.

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

Semi-protection - good faith and factual edits by one user being reverted arbitrarily by persons who may be connected to subject of article. In particular, NPOV edits about band history being removed by persons hostile to an ex-member of the band. Timothy Horrigan (talk) 03:47, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution.. This is pretty much an edit war on a minor scale. Protecting now is likely to escalate situation. ≈ Chamal  ¤ 04:06, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
