Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:45, 13 August 2014

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

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

The page Stateless nation needs to be semi-protected to prevent vandalism. Some people react to the issue of stateless nations very hostile and refuse to recognize the stateless nations. Stateless nations as Palestinians, Tamils or Spanish Nations were often removed from the list without any reason. Help to protect the page and rights of the stateless nations. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vatasura (talk • contribs) 14:12, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

It looks like a content dispute to me.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:45, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Teen Titans (GBA game) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Banned user CensoredScribe has been targeting this article via socks for a while now. The two current accounts he is using are auto-confirmed and have yet to be blocked, so full protection is needed. —Farix (t | c) 01:09, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

User(s) blocked.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:41, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Teen Titans (console game) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Banned user CensoredScribe has been targeting this article via socks for a while now. The two current accounts he is using are auto-confirmed and have yet to be blocked, so full protection is needed. —Farix (t | c) 01:09, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Declined, the disruption has been stopped, sorry for not acting in a timely manner.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:29, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

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

Temporary full protection: The content dispute that cause the last protection has been settled but now the article is under regular attack with all manner of nonsense being added. If we could get a few days to see if that helps settle things down that would be great. MarnetteD|Talk 20:58, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Declined, the user has been warned, and if disruption continues, they should be blocked, I do not see any reason for full protection in this case.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:27, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

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

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Edit warring. Jetstreamer  19:00, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Declined, seems to have stopped, sorry fof not handling this request in time.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:25, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruption over past week. Single purpose account has been substituting the official names of several zones of Ethiopia with unofficial ones. Thought edits were made in good faith until user started getting rude (), misrepresenting the bordering nations (changed Somalia to its constituent Somaliland region , , ), replacing or removing outright government links (, , ), while simultaneously claiming to be a government representative ("dude we are the government" ). Middayexpress (talk) 18:47, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

You might also want to protect Somaliland since several single porpouse accounts and ips have should up these past few months. AcidSnow (talk) 19:10, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Consider talking to the user and trying to reason with them. I've warned them about edit warring. Account is autoconfirmed anyway, so semi-protection would do no good. — MusikAnimal 16:30, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection Some of the new/IP users are claiming that Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham Hotspur included a loanback to Seattle Sounders FC. However the sources are saying that he will stay with Seattle through the 2014 MLS season. So it could mean two things. Either it was indeed a loanback or the transfer won't take effect until 2015. If there wasn't anything mentioned about a loan, then it would mean the transfer won't take effect until 2015. I think this needs to be semi-protected for a week. – Michael (talk) 22:37, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

• 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.
