    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    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.

    Temporary semi-protection — This article has seen a spike in anonymous edits, mostly vandalism or unhelpful edits, due to a the subject's current (June 10, 2010) appearance in major media outlets because she may be lost at sea.Diiscool (talk) 19:43, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Repeated insertion of transfer speculation, a weeks holiday should give them a rest. Off2riorob (talk) 19:00, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect. High levels of unconstructive IP edits constituting WP:SPECULATION. --Jimbo[online] 16:00, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full protection User Samofi (talk · contribs), who has been blocked from editing for indefinite time, often returns to the Wikipedia to push his POV into this article, using obvious SPA sockpuppet accounts like MartinMagera (talk · contribs) and BBorbely (talk · contribs).--Nmate (talk) 15:29, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Comments more suited to Talk:Balázs Borbély...
    The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
    1. I am not the sock of User:Samofi
    2. Nmate is the one who makes speculations by inserting unsourced data about an alleged Hungarian ethnicity, deletes categories and writes wrong data at no of caps for AEL LImassol (4 instead of the real number of 12) (BBorbely (talk) 15:34, 10 June 2010 (UTC))[reply]
    Obvious SPA, BBorbely = Balázs Borbély. The user has no edit anything excpet this article. And in addition, the user restores the same POV as Samofi did. I am not familiar with the current match data, however, Balázs Borbély's ethnicity is blantantly Hungarian. His name is Hungarian and he was born in Dunajská Streda. The town has a population of Hungarians of 80%. And then this SPA sockpuppet user wants to request sources for it for nationalistic reasons, which is quite mallicious one.--Nmate (talk) 16:00, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    1. There is not my POV, but the obvious truth
    2. The town has a population of Hungarians of 80% - that is not an argument. You need a source for the statement, not a personal supposition
    3. I created my account today when I realized that this article was wrong. I will edit other articles in the future too (BBorbely (talk) 16:04, 10 June 2010 (UTC))[reply]

    From the second half of the 10th century until 1918, the town Dunjská Streda was part of the Kingdom of Hungary. The town still has a population of Hungarians of 80%. His name Balázs Borbély is Hungarian. The recently created user's name is BBorbely. So that these arguments depict that the user is a nationalistic SPA.--Nmate (talk) 16:16, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    There is just your speculation that he is ethnic Hungarian. You need at least one source —Preceding unsigned comment added by BBorbely (talk • contribs) 16:20, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Question: Seriously? You want me to fully protect a one sentence stub? What is there to edit war over? I've AfD'd it anyway HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:39, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    You are right. It would be quaint to protect a stub article. In my opinion, the user wants to query the footballer's ethnicity because the town in which he was born is now part of Slovakia but it has a Hungarian population of 80%. And Slovakia exists only since 1993, which is unusual in Europa. Based on this, there are no too many people, of whom they could be proud.--Nmate (talk) 17:17, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    Shortcuts

    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.

    Unprotection - POV user repeatedly kept on deleting referenced information regarding the subject and has even violated 3 revert rule unnoticed (last revert). The user also alerted an admin to protect the article by claiming that the anon's edits (see last revert) are vandalism. Another admin finally fixed the BLP violation that the past anons were trying to fix. I think protection is no longer necessary since in the first place, it was not really needed. 120.28.116.109 (talk) 06:13, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    NB: I declined an almost identical request yesterday, as seen at [1]. Courcelles (talk) 06:16, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    User talk:Jack Merridew (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

    Removal of semi-protection - vandalism appears to have subsided. 67.80.250.138 (talk) 19:03, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Shortcut

    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.

    Semi-protect. There has been a flurry of IP/newly registered user disruption over the past 24 hours and, as the final episode airs in a few hours, this will probably be an ongoing issue.

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism. Footballer whose contract is about to expire. This has led to persistent vandalism of who he is playing for next (including serious and non-serious suggestions) as well as vandalism of past clubs and other stuff. As he is not set to sign for another club until next month, semi-protection may be necessary until that time.

    indefinite semi-protection. This page suffers from constant vandalism for years anow in particular by IP setting the birthday to arbitrary dates, misquoting sources and adding POV.

    Temporary full protection dispute, Edit-war, with intervening valid edits being lost. ╟─TreasuryTag►person of reasonable firmness─╢ 08:36, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I see a discussion being underway, but even so some edits are still made to the article itself. I applied a short two-day protection to prevent possible derailment into a revert war. Feel free to ask for unprotection if this is solved early, and good luck solving the issue.

    Temporary semi-protection requested due to high levels of unregistered editing on the basis of rumors and allegations. The university is reportedly considering moving to a different athletic conference and this and other related articles are being heavily edited on the basis of those rumors without supporting factual evidence. The edits are presumably good-faith but very disruptive. ElKevbo (talk) 04:36, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
