Requests for page protection | |
---|---|
This page is for requesting that a page, file or template be protected. Please read up on 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 only 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, the protection is listed in the page history and logs with a short description indicating why it was protected, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. Further discussion should take place on the Talk page of the article. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins do not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism. Note: Editors should not consider requesting page protection as a method for continuing an argument from elsewhere nor as a venue for starting a new discussion regarding article content. If a request contains excessive argument, appears to be intended to resolve a content dispute, includes personal attacks or uncivil comments, or has any other unrelated discussion, it will be removed from this page and no action will be taken.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Disruptive speculation as to the new manager continues after the previous two-day protection expired. Which is why, incidentally, I requested a longer period at the original RFPP request. Another 4 days should hopefully suffice. Gricehead (talk) 15:18, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

In the right hand box, change "in exile in Russia since May 20, 2013" to "in exile in Russia since June 23, 2013".
In the main body of the article, it says that on June 21, 2013, the US DOJ unsealed charges against Mr. Snowden. It further states that two days later (June 23, 2013), he flew to Moscow's airport. The date of his exile should start from his arrival in Russia. The article linked as a source also says that Mr. Snowden left Hong Kong on June 23, 2013. 76.174.18.68 (talk) 05:05, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
