Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 14:25, 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

Comment You're not being selfish, but you may not have read the protection policy, in particular the bit that says Semi-protection should not be used as a pre-emptive measure against vandalism that has not yet occurred, nor should it be used solely to prevent editing by anonymous and newly registered users. _GB 14:02, 19 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.

Talk:Anonymous (Group) (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

unprotection. There is no reason for protection of this talk page, other than to prevent unregistered users from posting. There have been recent beneficial contributions to the talk page before the protection from IP users, and AFAIK no vandalism. The protection of the talk page may result in less contributions from these users. I can see the validity of protecting the article, but not the talk page.

Unprotected Please come back if there's a lot of vandalism, GDonato (talk) 14:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

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)

See Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Andre Nickatina. If you think you can create a valid article in this space, cook something up in a sandbox and link to it here; or open a deletion review. Happy‑melon 10:25, 19 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.

indefinite full protection Vandalism, High amounts of IP Vandalism..Redmarkviolinist 19:15, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected. Full protection would block all non admins. This is not needed, but I agree it should be protected, and I have semi protected it. Justin_(u) 20:09, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

semi-protect Rumours of his death were circulating last weekend (which were false), and are now circulating again. There's nothing on any reliable sites about this, and I've twice had to revert different anon IPs saying he's dead. His is apparently seriously ill, but until there's a confirmed source for his death this isn't good for Misplaced Pages. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 08:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protection; a temporary semiprotect expired last Wednesday and since then IP vandalism has returned.--Andrewlp1991 (talk) 06:01, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected. henrik•talk 06:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

User:TJ Spyke (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection If possible, could I get permanent semi-protection on my userpage? Everytime an IP has edited it has just been vandalism and I don't see the benefit in letting them be able to edit my userpage, it's not like its in the mainspace (this coming from recent vandalism to it). TJ Spyke 03:43, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. – Gonzo fan2007 03:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

List of borderless countries (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

indefinite semi-protection Vandalism, This redirect is a target of IP addresses of a banned user that undo the redirect and restore the article. Semi-protect, please, including the talk page..SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 03:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection.≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 03:22, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

While Josie has declined this, I ask another admin to reconsider. This is a redirect. It is not something that needs to be edited. It's been reverted half a dozen times in about three weeks. It is annoying to keep watching for this activity. If the redirect didn't exist at all, it wouldn't need protection because anons can't recreate their deleted material. That's all I'm asking for. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 03:28, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Jossi was right in this decision. This redirect has barely been edited. Just keep it on your watchlist and revert. One or two edits a week isnt nearly enough for protection. – Gonzo fan2007 03:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I would like to request to protect this article in the other way round instead. There are consistent attempts by SchmuckyTheCat to blank this article and mix up the different concepts of "countries with no land border" and "island countries". He has gone so far to insist to remove countries such as Indonesia and Ireland from List of island countries, despite no conclusion has been reached among participants at Talk:List of island countries. I would like to request to protect List of borderless countries from being blanked again and again. 14:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

temporary semi-protection edit war. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 02:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

• The edit war participants are mainly the vandal who is User:Walter Mellon Head. I believe his account is not autoconfirmed so semi-protection is more appropriate. Parent5446 03:08, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
  • (edit conflict) - This was my original request before Parent5446 modified it. Though I still think full protection should be applied, I'd like to know what the sysop thinks. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:17, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Fully protected for 3 days. Semi-protection is worthless to resolve an edit-war; it effectively shuts down one side. I'm assuming good faith on WMH's behalf. User(s) blocked. indef by User:Bradeos Graphon. -Jéské 03:13, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
