Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 03:08, 19 February 2008

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

According to Talk:Sea_of_Japan#2channel meatpuppets from 朝鮮人のMisplaced Pages（ｳｨｷﾍﾟﾃﾞｨｱ）捏造に対抗せよ 21, they focus to look Korean related article as bad as possible and of course, South Korea article is also mentioned on their target list. However, per WP:AGF, at least editors need enough time to discuss content issues. --Appletrees (talk) 18:59, 18 February 2008 (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.

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

Prevented from being recreated. The artist however has something like 18 albums, is referenced in other pages (Including Rap songs about drugs) and an article for an album he is featured in exists (Andre Nickatina & Nick Peace Present: The Jacka, Ap.9 & Husalah - Mob Trial) also, there's a category called Andre Nickatina Albums.

Grazfather (talk) 01:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

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

Semi-protected indefinitely after this request for 24 hours of semi-protection. While I expect vandalism will occur, I don't believe this article is yet of a sufficient quality to justify excluding anonymous or new editors (who have previously made some useful contributions), and we've had some comments about it both on- and off-wiki from those seeking to improve the article. I asked the admin concerned last week, but it seems they're not around right now. GreenReaper (talk) 23:35, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

• Unprotected Acalamari 23:38, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

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

The page has been protected since October 2007, and the two IPs that vandalized the page, warranting its semi-protection, have not edited any page since October and November, respectively. Kakofonous (talk) 23:19, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

• Unprotected Acalamari 23:21, 18 February 2008 (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.

Permanent Creation Protection', repeated creation of vandalistic page after blocking of original account and warning of second account.

Note: I restored the article per WP:AGF concerns after a review of user contributions, it has since been moved to Poo brown and is now at AFD Camaron | Chris (talk) 17:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

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

It is pretty obvious, that the administrator who protected Muhammad violated Misplaced Pages:PROT#Content_disputes ("Administrators should not protect or unprotect a page if they are in any way involved in the dispute.") There is a strong evidence, that the administrator in question was indeed involved in that content dispute:. If User:Rauf-abdul violated WP:3RR the user can be blocked, but there is no reason to protect the page. --Raphael1 00:06, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Declined Consult the protecting admin first, and use the article talk page. User:Jmlk17 is a respected admin, this is not the place for review of administrative actions. If communication with the admin does not work, then feel free to go to the WP:AN/I. – Gonzo fan2007 03:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I did contact the admin before I wrote this request. Via email Jmlk17 declined my request and stated the removal of the images as a reason for his decline. This is ridiculous. How obvious can an administrator violate WP:PROT and get away with it? --Raphael1 10:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

The page very much should be protected, although the admin should have asked another person to do it for him. Good result, wrong method. Stifle (talk) 11:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Why should the page be protected? --Raphael1 13:30, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

N/M--TrUCo31 15:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

A bit of borderline case, I undid protection after a rethink, another admin could still review though. Camaron | Chris (talk) 15:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

It's generally not advised to semi-protect a page where anons are vandalizing and making good contribs about half and half. Misplaced Pages is the free encyclopedia. Malinaccier (talk) 15:37, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

WP:BLP concerns should be taken seriously, and that is what pushed me towards protection, but I think for the moment the issue can be dealt with without protection. If vandalism gets significantly worse please re-request protection. Camaron | Chris (talk) 15:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
