 * Ummmm, is this intended to be a serious request or a test edit? The Sandbox is never protected. It's intended for test edits, for people, even IPs to experiment. Protecting the sandbox would be like denying the right of anonymous users to edit Wikipedia. It'll never happen. Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 11:32, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined Is it April 1st already? Narutolovehinata5 is right, we never protect the sandbox. There are actually some things that aren't allowed there - personal attacks, libel, and copyright violations, for instance - but we would deal with those by blocking rather than protection, if necessary. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 12:32, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protection: This FA-class article will appear on the Main Page on November 1st. There's just no need for IPs to trash it during its day of high visibility. Please semi-protect it until the 2nd.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – We are having a huge problem with vandalism on the page. Many users add their own names for some odd reason like this one individual from an unknown IP address called K. Gupta. This man also goes around changing I in references to lower case Ls so it is very hard to fix them. There is also abuse and homophobic comments being directed towards the star, Shahrukh Khan. Taking this into account, this account should be protected so only registered users and not any IP address can edit the tweets. There is also sockpuppety going on as user Ghajinidetails and Sanjeetbond are the same person and keep on adding promotional material to this website that many users like Arjaan and I have to delete. So please, help us out. Thank you. Ashermadan (talk) 01:49, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

I am trying to create an athlete's page, but it looks like a music page was created before with the same name in 2008 but then deleted. I have the AFC ready and its located here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Brandon_Davis please let me know how I can proceed. XK8ER (talk) 22:21, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Not unprotected Normally requests like this are accepted, but first you need to prove that Davis passes WP:ATHLETE or WP:BIO. That isn't done in the current version, because none of the sources that you have cited satisfy the Wikipedia guideline on identifying reliable sources. I recommend reading WP:42 for a quick overview of what we're looking for. I've added a draft template to the top of your AFC page - what you need to do now is to add sources to the page to show that Davis is notable, and then follow the instructions on the template to submit your article for review.

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism based on a dislike of WP:SPOILER information on the page. SchroCat ( ^ •  @ ) 08:15, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined - There are intermittent positive IP edits, and it's probably preferable to block those that edit-war excessively. - Penwhale &#124; dance in the air and follow his steps 08:30, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Disappointing: there are very, very few positive IPs and they are always free to use a template for further requests. It's 8.30 in the morning here and I've already used up two reverts to an ongoing issue that will only worsen once the US IP users come online again - and an issue based on the ignorance of the WP:SPOILER guideline. How bad does the situation have to get before there is even a fig leaf of protection for the page? -  SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 08:35, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The thing is, the movie comes out Nov 1st in the US. I'm not sure that protecting for another 2 days is quite necessary. Feel free, though, to bring this up at ANI if situation doesn't improve, however.

The Halo 4 article is protected, but not all of the templates in use on the page are, and a user (User:Fatsuitx) has twice vandalised the page by adding his own user page to the unprotected templates, making it hard for non-technically-minded users to either read or edit the page. While the user in question has been blocked, others seeking to vandalise the Halo 4 page could easily do something similar. Ajhoughton (talk) 12:35, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined If this vandalism was more recent I might be persuaded to protect, as it affects 49 different pages, not just the Halo 4 article. However, it is now a few days old, and we don't usually protect pages preemptively. (That is, unless they are "highly visible templates" - but I don't think this template quite reaches the threshold of high visibility.)

Semi-protection. Frequent vandalisms and unsourced (incorrect) edits lately. Would rather not protect myself since I'm actively editing the article. – Steel 14:39, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting support.svg Semi-protected&#32;for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There has been quite a lot of vandalism on the article long-term, but also quite a few good edits from IPs. I'm guessing that the recent vandalism/unsourced edit spurt is due to the recent release of a new Android version, so I've only protected for a week. If the vandalism continues after that, though, I think a longer period of semi-protection would be a good idea. — <span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 15:07, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Edit warring and likely sock puppetry. Biker Biker (talk) 07:54, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined Declining for now, as it would probably be better to take action against the user rather than protect the whole thing. I think the IP is him editing while logged out, and I'm going to AGF and assume that's accidental. Relist if others start getting involved. Ged  UK  12:54, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined, User talk pages are not protected except in response to extreme disruption. And even then, only for brief periods.  IP users may have something they wish to communicate to you so such pages should remain editable. Rjd0060 (talk) 00:12, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Semi Protection - Mass vandalism (ie Superstorm sandy) recently edit conflicts are too much to handle the amount comming in - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:05, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined Not really seeing that much vandalism, and there are several IP's making good contributions. There certainly are tons of edits happening on the page at the moment, but that's not a reason to semi-protect it.  If the vandalism ramps up, feel free to submit another request and we'll take another look at it.  <span style="font:small-caps 1.3em Garamond,Times,serif;color:#777777;letter-spacing:0.2em;">‑Scottywong <span style="font:0.75em Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;color:#447744;">| prattle _  18:12, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Semi or Full-protection: A disambiguation page in which almost every edit is vandalism or reverting it, new users and IPs, with what appears to be a very long history. Also, as this article is only a disambiguation page, unless other articles are added with a relevant title, the page has no potential to improve with edits over time, vandalism or legitimate. Even if the page didn't have a history of vandalism, the title itself is a vandalism magnet. I see no reason why this page shouldn't be fully protected, as stated before, it appears to have no improvement potential even for users with 10+ edits. If a reorganization or addition of a new article is necessary, an admin can do that. --██████ 00:45, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
