Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 12:18, 4 December 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

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

Indefinite semi-protection: The previous text has been modified because it contained false and slanderous information, and it has been formally contested by Mr Briatore’s lawyer with a letter of formal notice to the Wikimedia foundation. We kindly ask protection of this new text, which is a precise translation of the text which appears now on Misplaced Pages Italy , as a result of the letter of formal notice sent by Mr Briatore’s lawyers to Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Italy, contesting the previous version for its false and slanderous content.shadow003 11:05, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. This is a content dispute, which will not be resolved by semi-protection. See WP:BLP/H and seek assistance if necessary at the WP:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. JohnCD (talk) 12:18, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Some blatant vandalism & also the continuous addition of deliberate factual errors surrounding speculation of his future employment. . ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 10:39, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. JohnCD (talk) 12:10, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

User talk:GabeMc (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – I'm sick of anon IPs messing with me. It's my talk page it should be up to me, so please PP until I decide I'm want it opened up again, thanks. GabeMc 05:37, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Note: Protection policy strongly recommends having an alternate talk page for anonymous/new users to post to. Can you create such a page and link to it from your talk page? King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 10:47, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

I would rather not. Why would there be an issue here with protecting my own talk page? I don't intend to keep it protected for too long, but the issue now is that each time the PP expires I get a new round of harassment from IPs. IP editors can contact me at the talk pages of articles that I edit if needed. What is a better choice, to allow a registered user of 3+ years to be regularly bothered by IP sock trolls, or just simply prevent IPs from contacting someone (me) who really would rather they (IPs) left me alone altogether. GabeMc 23:40, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) The main issue here is that you don't own your talk page, and it's not yours. It's provided to you by Misplaced Pages for the sole purpose of allowing others to communicate. If you don't wish for them to talk, just create the other subpage to make IPs happy. gwickwire_edits 23:43, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

So, you would rather risk driving away a registered user with 20,000+ edits and several FACs then risk hindering an anon IP from editing my talk page? "Users whose talk page is semi-protected for lengthy or indefinite periods of time should ideally have an unprotected user talk subpage", ideally is not a requirement. While you are correct to state that I don't own my talk page per: "They are part of Misplaced Pages and must serve its primary purposes; in particular, they make collaboration among editors easier." I have not ever collaborated with an IP at my talk page. 99.999999% of all IP edits to my talk have been made for the purpose of harassment. Who are you protecting by allowing me to be harassed by users who refuse to register? GabeMc 01:22, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Could you please provide more information as to why you object to creating a subpage that is open to IPs? -- Dianna (talk) 01:42, 4 December 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.

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.
