    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 unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Shortcuts

    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.

    Danny Lauter

    Reason: Hello, I was wondering if you could help with the creation of this page for Danny Lauter. He is currently the starting quarterback for Georgetown University and holds the schools single game passing yard record. He is also generating NFL Interest. He was invited down to the Super bowl in New Orleans to meet with a lot of executives and to go to a lot of the high profile events. He also had dinner with Tom Brady and a lot of other top figures in the NFL. They were giving him a lot of good advice on how to secure his name and they mentioned that Wikipedia was a great platform. I have read the prior reasons for deletion and I understand why, nut now I am asking for some help to create a new page for him now that he has gained a lot of notoriety. 141.161.163.60 (talk) 17:37, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Without any sort of sources to back up all of these assertions your argument is doomed to fail. (Also, anyone who suggests Wikipedia as a place to get one's name out there clearly has no understanding of Wikipedia and should likely be dismissed for incompetence.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 17:48, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    John Kricfalusi

    Reason: The reason is that some are not even animators or cartoonists when it comes to his influences. I wanted to separate some that are not cartoonists.

    This is what I wanted to do: His main influence for animations is Bob Clampett, but he also named Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, Max Fleischer, Jay Ward, Don Martin, Charles M. Schulz, Mort Drucker, E.H. Segar, Milt Gross, Walt Kelly, and Harvey Kurtzman. Kricfalusi also included references to Frank Sinatra, Kirk Douglas, Peter Lorre, The Three Stooges, Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, Dean Martin and Robert Ryan in his works. 50.91.26.176 (talk) 06:11, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    This is an argument that should be made on Talk:John Kricfalusi, given the extreme WP:BLP violations that prompted the protection. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 06:15, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
    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.
