Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:42, 13 August 2007

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

Shortcuts WP:RFPP WP:RFP WP:RPP 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. Skip to table of contents requests to raise protection lower protection requested edits (purge) Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level Request protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

semi protection - anon troll edit war. --Karent82 21:33, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Bird feeding (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect. Persistent disruptive edits or vandalism, apparently from a single anonymous user repeatedly inserting unsupported assertions (that bird feeding is controversial), without valid arguments, against the consensus of editors, and without meaningful discussion. The vast majority of the edits since about March 2007 are insertion or reversion of the material. There are warnings on the talk page of one of the IPs , but that didn't help. Lately the reverts have been coming from many different IPs. --Nethgirb 21:29, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Declined. Seems like a content dispute. Policy does not allow semi-protection where this will lock out one side of a dispute - its full protection or nothing. Both you and the other editor (assuming those IPs are the same person) are well past three reverts. Please discuss before making further reverts. If you would like the article fully protected, feel free to request that. WjBscribe 21:41, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. WjBscribe 21:35, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Main Page (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-Protect - 9 reverted edits from IPs in this day, most of those are either vandalism or misunderstood edits. The previous days have had about 3-4 reverted edits from IPs. ~Iceshark7 21:19, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Declined – It's the main page talk. We just can't protect it. It could partially defeat the purpose of Misplaced Pages. — Malcolm (talk) 21:27, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Semi-Protect to stop vandalism & edit war by socks of banned User:Bonaparte --Anonimu 20:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Note: The first part of his username, Bonaparte goes to a indef blocked user. Davnel03 20:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, i meant socks of banned user bonaparte and then i signed. I'm Anonimu.

Brian Adams (wrestler) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Fully-Protect heavy vandalism of wrestler who died today. Davnel03 18:50, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Declined Protection is not applied preemptive. And there's not enough to protect right now. -Royalguard11(T·R!) 19:02, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

The vandalism has picked up since, so I think a semi-protect is still necessary. Davnel03 20:35, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Facebook (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-Protect high amount of anon vandalism lately. Sasha Callahan 18:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

• Semi-protected for two weeks. After the two weeks have passed, the page will no longer be semi-protected. Acalamari 18:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

The Big Lebowski (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect - supposedly this page is already semi-protected due to edit warring and vandalilsm via anonymous IP addresses, but there are numerous recent edits/vandalisms from anonymous users. Doesn't semi-protection prevent anonymous editing? Or did the protection expire and no one removed the semi-protect tag? Can we protect again? ♣♦ SmartGuy ♥♠ 18:11, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

• Previous protection had expired. Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. MastCell 18:46, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Burger Chef

Semi-protect- Page hit by various IP's over the last 36 hours adding this link, which links to an apparent fansite (the site also contains a strong anti-Hardee's bias). WAVY 10 17:18, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Emo (slang) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect. Constant vandalism. Recently got off of protection, and already there has been many instances of IP and registered user vandalism. I suggest indefinite semi-protection, to at least get rid of the IP vandalism. J-stan _Contribs 14:38, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected with no set expiry time. ~ Riana ⁂ 14:50, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Current requests for unprotection

• WP:RFUP
• WP:RFPU

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.

Nas (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotection - locked on July 23, last instance of vandalism was on the same day several hours later, so there has been no vandalism on this page for about three weeks now. --Andrewlp1991 20:45, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

User:Collabi (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Years ago, my user page was protected due to vandalism by anonymous IPs. Now I'd like to update it myself but can't. Semi-protection should be adequate, I hope, to prevent its being trashed by anons upset with my reverting their vandalism on other wikipages. Thanks. Collabi 19:50, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

• Done you can now edit your own user page again. Acalamari 20:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Pro-pedophile activism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This page has been locked since 24 July and there is no movement on the talk page so the issues shopuld have sttled down and it is now time to unprotect, SqueakBox 16:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Declined. This article had to be protected twice last month due to edit warring. Looks like edit warring just resumed once the protection wore off last time so it seems likely that will happen again. Discussion on the talkpage seems needed so that a consensus can be reached before unprotection - perhaps avenues of dispute resolution could be explored. WjBscribe 21:16, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Allegations of apartheid (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Could you unprotect Allegations of apartheid? In the past thirteen days since protection the discussion on the talk page has died down and there have been dramatic changes in several related articles (the deletion of Allegations of American apartheid, Allegations of Chinese apartheid, the moving of "Allegations of tourist apartheid in Cuba" to Tourist segregation in Cuba etc.) As well, one editor has posted on the Talk:Allegations of apartheid that he wishes to put this article up for AFD. Can you unprotect so the article can be revised to take into account the changes in related articles and to allow a possible AFD to be filed? Lothar of the Hill People 20:42, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Kurt Angle (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Page was blocked because it was "target of abusive sockpuppets of banned vandal", possibly relating to the TNA Hard Justice PPV that just took place today. The PPV has passed by. In the case against the abusive sockpuppets, a semi-protect would be good. MITB LS 03:38, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Declined Semi-protection does not stop the banned vandal, Verdict (talk · contribs). He simply creates a new abusive sockpuppet and then lets it sit for a few days. --Yamla 15:14, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Current requests for significant edits to a protected page

• WP:RFED

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 Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
• Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages: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.

Allegations of state terrorism by the United States (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

(I added {{editprotected}} last night, but another user is questioning whether the tag should be removed, so listing here.) The project namespace template underdiscussion somehow made its way to the top of that page. It should be removed, per WP:SELF, I believe. There is a discussion on the talk page for that article here and at the template's talk page here. Take care,   justen   20:02, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Here, too.   justen   21:27, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Fulfilled/denied requests

Religion of Peace (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi protection - Suspected Sockpuppetary. Several edits immediately reverted by anomomous users with their first ever edits! Revert war seems to be starting against this page. Mike Young 21:02, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Declined - while the IPs might be the same person, they are making a possibly legitimate point in a content dispute. Full protection might become appropriate soon, but semi-protection would just give an unfair disadvantage to IP editors here. Try to find consensus on the talk page. Kusma (talk) 09:18, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Sarbanes-Oxley (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

semi protection - repeated 3RR violations from a single anon (and now new-account editor) WP:SPA insisting on adding spam link contrary to talk page consensus, even after WP:DR. Anon (who has yet to make a single productive edit) already blocked once. Page is spam magnet in general. THF 20:50, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. I just blocked the editor for a week for a 3rr violation (the same as the ip I blocked the other day so I'm assuming its the same editor. I'm not sure that pp is the right solution when there is one offender who can get blocked on sight it they keep it up. Please nudge me on my talk if they come back and I'll look at it again. Spartaz 21:29, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. THF 21:40, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Hankuk Academy of Foreign Studies (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection, expiry one month: IP-hoppping person(s) continually reverting to readd material. See this edit summary. This is not a content dispute because the removal is to allow the article to comply with the protection of living people on Misplaced Pages. Daniel→♦ 06:49, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 4 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. ~ Riana ⁂ 08:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Is there any reason why you aren't doing so already, Cas? I request both of you to bear WP:3RR in mind. Declined to protect, edit war between 2 users, 3RR blocks can be issued, report to WP:AN3. ~ Riana ⁂ 08:30, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

semi-protect. There's tagging that keeps occuring. Dorcasmeadowes 04:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages has been blatant about anti-male sexism before, but this is getting riduculous. This doesn't even deserve to be called an encyclopedia if all you find on it is radical feminist bullshit.

• Vandalism is not the issue. This user has been removing all critical information from the article and the discussion page of the article. Lara♥Love 05:18, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Declined All parties involved are reminded of Misplaced Pages's policies on verifiability. The article is in desperate need of sourcing. You may be able to find help at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject The Beatles. Raymond Arritt 05:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Semiprotection - two weeks. Sockpuppet IP hopping simply to press the undo button and evade 3RR. The Evil Spartan 21:03, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I believe Full Protection would be more appropriate for this template. User:Padraig is engaged in a slow edit war, having made 32 of the last 100 (identical) edits. 81.79.203.71 21:42, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I believe that you have violated 3RR in full knowledge of the fact that you're IP hopping, and can get away with it. I believe that I looked at this page, know nothing of the dispute, but you are the one clearly engaged in edit warring, and are refusing to stay to your account. The Evil Spartan 21:43, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Please remember to assume good faith. You have now made a number of unsubstantiated allegations about me in various places. 81.79.203.71 21:49, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Interesting. I am to "assume good faith" - I'm glad you quoted that policy, as you're not a sockpuppet, and know nothing of Misplaced Pages. And I do have problems with people who have IPs that all relate to the same place, who break 3RR in full knowledge of their actions, etc etc asking me to assume good faith. The Evil Spartan 21:51, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Seeing as you have made 5RR in the last few hours I don't think you can accuse anyone of edit warring.--padraig 21:46, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

...and you, User:Padraig are in breach of the 3RR (again), are you not? 81.79.203.71 21:51, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - due to edit-warring. Folks - can you take this conversation to the relevant talk page, please? - Alison ☺ 21:58, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Note: - can another admin review this one, please? Feel free to revert if necessary - Alison ☺ 00:07, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Note: Good call by Alison. Unregistered and registered users alike are advised to keep WP:3RR in mind when editing. ~ Riana ⁂ 01:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Ice age (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

full protection - edit war, user removing info that is sourced for no reason. --Karent82 20:39, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

The disputed matter is the above editor's attempts to introduce into the article - as fact - a Noah's Ark scenario on the basis of some obscure Armenian racial/religious theory. Gordonofcartoon 22:01, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Declined Request with only purpose to enforce Karent82's unilateral POV, unsourced addition. Use the talk page to discuss the disputed changes instead.--Húsönd 01:25, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protect (sorry about long list): IP vandalism targets. AGENT 7 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has been blocked for repeatedly removing maintenance and cleanup tags from these articles he/she created (and which badly need cleanup for the poor English and lack of refs). Now a succession of sockpuppet IP editors are doing the same. See WP:ANI. Gordonofcartoon 13:58, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Declined None of the articles above has suffered enough disruption to justify semi-protection at this time. Watchlisting (and reverting when necessary) suffice for now.--Húsönd 01:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
