edit protect i see that you have placed a number of edit semi protect templates on articles because you did not include any actual requests to edit i am making an assumption that you were thinking that placing the template would protect the article it will not it is just a flag that will alert people who care that someone wants to suggest an edit to an article that they can not make directly if you wish to have an article protected you can make your request here WP RPP request for page protection and an admin will review the article history and determine whether or not protection is appropriate and then apply it if appropriate
