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

Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, Excessive vandalism over recent days. I have counted at least 10 vandalism efforts today alone, mostly by anon IPs. 5 albert square (talk) 22:09, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Indefinite is extreme considering it hasn't been edit protected at all since 2006. If More protection is necessary, come back and request longer protection. (generally, I would go with 3 days, 2 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, and finally indefinite). tedder (talk) 22:31, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

The Devil Wears Prada (band) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Continued vandalism, this was protected for one week, and then due to more vandalism; one month, and since the time that it lost that month-long protection (which was 4 days ago) vandalism has once again returned. . GunMetal Angel 21:42, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Level of vandalism is low, and there's only one IP doing the vandalism recently. You've been warning the IP, so you should be able to take them to WP:AIV soon. tedder (talk) 22:28, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, SMBC-Comics mentioned that it takes one click to get from "Blood Pudding" to sexual intercourse. This is not the case without editing, and several people have already tried to be clever by doing so. Ryan Brady (talk) 21:27, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Some related vandalism at Black sausage too, FYI. tedder (talk) 22:23, 30 September 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.

St Michael's College, Dublin (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection - there is a steady flow of silly vandalism here which does not require protection, but recently there is a nasty campaign of personal attacks from different IPs on a named student e.g. this and this. Perhaps a month to give them time to lose interest?JohnCD (talk) 09:33, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for 2 months. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:26, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Jon & Kate Plus 8 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

semi-protection vandalism, A recent news release has caused a massive flood of vandalism to the page. A few days for the news to cool down should be sufficient. 13 19:10, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Normally would only do 1-3 days, but I went longer because the subjects of this article tend to be PR magnets (i.e., will be in the news longer). Also, the article has a long history of protection. tedder (talk) 22:10, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Ashes and Snow (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection, Article has been edited by multiple IP and new account SPAs to remove any negative information about the subject. (New accounts created as soon as the old account is warned about edit warring.) Asking them to stop reverting or come to the talkpage has not worked. Not sure if I should also open a SPI? Guidance appreciated. guyzero | talk 17:56, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Yes, definitely file a SPI report. Also find some appropriate projects, add them to Talk:Ashes and Snow, and see if you can enlist editors at a project to watch the page. Send me the link to the SPI when you open it. tedder (talk) 22:05, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protect. High level of IP vandalism in recent history. TaerkastUA (Talk) 17:47, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Borderline case (see WP:ROUGH), but a lot of "repeat offenders" rather than drive-by IPs. Use the user warning templates to warn vandalizing IPs and user accounts so you can take them to WP:AIV. If you have questions about how to do this, drop by my talk page. tedder (talk) 22:01, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

Request semi-protection against newly created accounts as per the main article page. Previous request was declined pending actual recent disruption. The disruption has started now with the posting of diatribe by the re-incarnating banned user in question. Regards Bksimonb (talk) 16:57, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Declined Articles and talk pages shouldn't be protected at the same time. Suggest using WP:RBI judiciously, and then asking for an edit filter if it continues and would be relatively easy to filter. tedder (talk) 17:39, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
