Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 08:14, 31 July 2012

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

FIFA 13 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection: The FIFA 13 video game article has been vandalized multiple times for the past week or so, consistently introducing unsourced material to the reader and causing widespread confusion among the public -- a public which happens to use Misplaced Pages as its source of knowledge. Several people, including myself, have tried to revert the articles, clean them up and limit ourselves in only mentioning aspects that are already confirmed by the developers or by well-known sources. Unfortunately, however, it seems that several people, from multiple IP sources, are continuously vandalizing the page, despite our efforts made to ask them not to mention unsourced information in the article. It would be very nice if we can have a temporary suspension of editing in the article, until the time comes when more official information is revealed about the video game, which probably isn't going to happen until some time in mid August, as it normally does each year. In the meantime, I think it's best to have the FIFA 13 article locked to the version that I made, since it doesn't include the unsourced material that attempts to present itself as factual. Thank you and kind regards. --Nadia (talk) 21:47, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Rangers F.C. (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – 1-2 weeks Can you extend the protection to this article by another week, we have now finally moved forward and got agreement on one point, but we are still not at a point where we have a article ready to go. We are working on getting a neutral non bias article ready in the sandbox but we are still some way off from getting a consensus on it. Edit warring will begin as soon as protection is lifted because there is still no consensus. It might be best 2 weeks as it really taking time to get this dispute resolved but 1 week gives us more time, by us i mean my self and User:Fishiehelper2 as we are on the other side of the argument to each other but we are working to get one article that will combine both the above but we are meeting with opposition so it is hard work to get the consensus. the admkn whi protected said there not going to be around but have no objection to it if another admin feels it right.

Temporary full protection:Persistent marketing/advertising and "undue weight" of publication from Sunrise. In spite of deletions from Canada Jack, Tenebrae, Ginger Maine Coon and myself - the marketing keeps being re-inserted without any reason given from various unregistered IP addresses. Please protect. Many thanks for your help, David. David J Johnson (talk) 11:25, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Concur. Virtually all have been by an anon IP with various addresses beginning with 101. Clearly promotional material, and this roving IP is edit-warring. --Tenebrae (talk) 00:01, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protection' Disruptive editing IPs keep inserting chart peaks that cannot be found in the sources provided. Semi-protection should force them start a discussion if those peaks really exist somewhere.--Harout72 (talk) 18:43, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection: Repeated vandalism from various IP accounts within about a 24 hour time period. The vandalism is light so far in comparison to other articles so I'm only requesting a protection against IP vandalism, but will likely increase due to the controversy surrounding her new book. Article has been PRODed, with one PROD rationale consisting entirely of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. It will more than likely only suffer more vandalism. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 18:16, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

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

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – This is another one of the Rangers F.C.] overspill the dispute is not been resovled a consensus is starting to be reached but editors are not following it and doing as they want until the dispute is settle can this be put on full protection liek rangers fc article. Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 16:54, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

There only seems to be two editors (yourself included) who seem to be edit warring. Maybe it might be better for this to be taken to a specific board i.e ANI or Admin edit war attention and dealt with accordingly.--Chip 17:43, 29 July 2012 (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.

User:Mcfly85 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Unprotection Would like original farewell message left on there, and not an accusation. Mcfly85 (talk) 23:06, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Note: Please contact User:Bibliomaniac15 directly. Deryck C. 10:06, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

I have done that, however, that user has not made an edit in over a month. Mcfly85 (talk) 22:12, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

I'll wait another week or two. Deryck C. 17:14, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Current requests for 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.

Temporary full-protection: Persistent vandalism. Same IP and associated sockpuppet accounts keep falsifying statistics, removing readily verifiable information and inserting detrimental POV, on what were stable articles. Irānshahr (talk) 22:54, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) I don't believe there are to amount of edits required to justify page protection. The editing is being by 83.95.250.247 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and Irānshahr (talk · contribs) - I'll leave it to an admin, but I think dealing those two would be more appropriate than protecting the pages. Callanecc (talk • contribs) talkback (etc) template appreciated. 05:48, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. While I understand Callanecc's position, it's not like the article is getting a lot of edits otherwise, so fully protecting isn't preventing others who want to work on the article from doing so. Additionally, there's no doubt they're both in the wrong here, so I'd have to block both of them, and thus protection seems like the "lighter" move. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:11, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

April Scott (Home and Away) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Unprotected yesterday and IP has returned to remove content and blank sections. Rain the 1 23:23, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) The vandalism doesn't seem to have restarted (there is only one user who is vandalising), since the previous protection expired on 27 July 2012. Callanecc (talk • contribs) talkback (etc) template appreciated. 05:46, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. But since it's the same vandalism as before, and since it's a dynamic IP (so blocking isn't an option), reinstating protection for a longer period of time is appropriate.

Question: I can't see any protection for Aaron Fugate. Are you asking for both to be protected? Deryck C. 17:31, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry. The page that's already protected is Aaron fugate (see the log). So, yes, I guess both should be protected. And someone should keep an eye on The stupid reality show as well (same creator). -- Blanchardb -- timed 17:59, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
