Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 10:12, 2 September 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

Current requests for protection

Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

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

Temporary semi-protection: Low level, but fairly regular edit war. Poor sourced additions, layout, BLP and NPOV issues. IP address being used by a known user bypassing several heated talk page discussions. (BLP: Misha B was subject of a very high profile but conclusively proven false accusations involving reality TV and the UK tabloid press)...Zoebuggie☺whispers 05:31, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection: Edit-warring by IPs without discussing on talk. Started days after previous protection expired. Δρ.Κ.  04:58, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent spamming by an IP-hopper. Jasper Deng (talk) 04:54, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

List of current Cash Money Records artists (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection: Non-autoconfirmed edits to this account are never productive; they always consist of adding unsourced names to the list, many of which do not have articles. This violates WP:NLIST. The article has been protected twice before, and simple reverting doesn't seem to solve the problem. At this point, it's time for IP users to use the talk page and provide reliable sources. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:29, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.

I protected this page before I saw this protection request. I considered indef at first, and in hindsight I think I agree that would be best, but at the time I elected to escalate the last protection period instead. Let's go with that for now and go for indef if disruption resumes after it expires. ~Amatulić (talk) 04:28, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

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

Temporary full protection. Content dispute regarding the removal of a long-established section of the article that contributed to its WP:GA status. I am WP:INVOLVED so I cannot protect it myself. A week should be adequate. ~Amatulić (talk) 03:07, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Good Article status should not be allowed to be compromised and your ES appears to support the request. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:12, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Zero Dark Thirty (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Content dispute/edit-warring. Belchfire-TALK 02:36, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

I support a short protection, say 24 hours. Otherwise, this will only freeze the version Belchfire prefers into place while giving the other supporters a chance to reset their revert count. I'm StillStanding (24/7) (talk) 06:08, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

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

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – On-going vandalism. May be linked to the drugs controversy involving her rival Nadzeya Ostapchuk which may see her gain the gold medal from the olympics. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:54, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. There really hasn't been that much activity since protection expired last, but because it's a BLP and because it has an extensive protection log, let's try a couple of weeks.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:06, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Agha Waqar's water-fuelled car (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Asking semi protection for two weeks due to persistent vandalism from ip users. Apparently, this 'invention' has caused a lot of controversy, but should die down after a couple of weeks. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:42, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:01, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

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

temporary Semi-protection - edit disputes going on from two newly registered users.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:14, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Declined. Two new users is not sufficient reason to protect, and the dispute is minimal. Consider helping the users to understand policies & guidelines by messaging their talk pages, and if necessary start a discussion on the article talk page which you created but which has never been used. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:36, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Illinois Family Institute (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection: edit-warring while an RfC is active regarding an addition to the lead. StAnselm (talk) 21:20, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

• StAnselm has been reported for edit warring at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. This request of his is an obvious attempt to further extend his desired version. He is harming the development of the article. Protection is not needed at the article; the only thing wrong with it will be fixed when StAnselm is blocked. Binksternet (talk) 21:47, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

In fact, I posted this here in part because three different editors were adding text which didn't have consensus, and I didn't want to break the three revert rule. StAnselm (talk) 06:12, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. or let the RfC and AN run their courses, but don't argue it out here. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:41, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection. Persistent vandalism and editing tests from multiple IPs. RoboCop 19:08, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected by User:Drmies.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:53, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

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

Temporary create protection: Repeatedly recreated – Despite multiple warnings, the user continues to recreate their autobiography. Mephistophelian (talk) 06:17, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment)  Comment: - Honestly, I believe the better option would be to give the user a final warning before blocking them. After a certain number of attempts, it may be evident that they are not here to edit constructively. A relevant note to other users: User talk:Irfanabbasi is the author's talk page. SwisterTwister talk 06:23, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Nb. While an additional warning is appropriate, I'm not advocating the create protection as a punishment, but merely a preventative measure to preclude the disruption from repeatedly tagging and deleting inappropriate material. Mephistophelian (talk) 06:36, 1 September 2012 (UTC).

Exactly, I'm not suggesting it would be a punishment either but the user appears to have failed to significantly understand why the articles have been deleted. I'll give the user a message of advice but this may be a case of Misplaced Pages:Competence is required. Something like this had happened at Kalappurackal since May 2012. SwisterTwister talk 16:32, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Creation protected indefinitely. Article was appropriately deleted each time and four deletions is enough already. It's not a punishment but the article is an autobio and and making work for admins and editors has to be stopped. Consider nevertheless helping him to understand. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:56, 2 September 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.

List of association football teams to have won four or more trophies in one season (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This page has been semi-protected, but the process under which it was protected in unclear and a can not imagine a valid justification 188.28.152.179 (talk) 18:14, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Declined. Process clear and justification valid.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:47, 1 September 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.

Lot of vandalism there. Please somebody help me. Lock this page -SrGangsta (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:43, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Lord Bloody Wog Rolo (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Anderson - What's up? 09:13, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

the person your are accusing of vandalising this article is making legitimate contributions, you and 'andreclos' and your other alternate accounts are the ones vandalising the article, just because you dont want certain facts published does not make them vandalism124.182.142.3 (talk) 10:24, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

• Comment Reading the above and going back through the article editing history, and some other related items, I get the impression that 124.182.142.3 and 124.178.238.235 (who was conducting the same acitity as now back in March - April with Rozziew) is Robin Tapier (son of Rolo), who believes that Anderson (AKA: ItsZippy and ItsZippy/CVUA/Anderson) and Rozziew, who's talkpage states it is 'Rozzie Chapman,s home page, are both Rosalyn Chapman (nee Anderson). If that is so then does it not bring both editors into Conflict of Interest, and Edit warring as personal family issues, amongst others? Richard Harvey (talk) 10:31, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Fully protected for three days by Cambridgebayweather. Anderson - What's up? 19:45, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

I strongly agree...in the three minutes I've been there refereeing it's been mayhem. A protection is paramount. Go Phightins! (talk) 17:17, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
