| :::{{yo|JBW}} thanks. One thing that might be worth explaining: any user can send a password reset to another user, if they are logged into an account, or if they're not logged in and their IP is not blocked. You need to provide the email associated with the account, and as a security measure the form will not tell you if you got it right. It just says something like "'''if''' the details you provided match, then the user will be sent a temporary password." There is no way to know if the email actually was sent. It was worth a try anyway. ] (<sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>) 17:32, 3 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :::: I have never tried to send a password reset email to another user while logged in, so I can't comment on that. However, I can assure you that if I am not logged in I can send a password reset email to any user, provided they have an email address attached to their account, I am not subject to an IP block, and I know their username, without having to know their email address.

| :::::{{yo|JBW}} that's interesting, are you using ] to do that? It always prompts me to enter the username and the email address (like I described), but I haven't tried logged out, my work VPN is blocked. Also I did get your emails (no worries about the heads-up) but I didn't get your password reset. I sent myself one earlier today from my alternate account so I don't think it's my mail server blocking them. ] (<sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>) 21:01, 3 December 2024 (UTC) | |||

I have no idea why you didn't get my password reset, unless I misstyped your username or something. I will try once more, copying and pasting your username to be sure, and I'll be interested to know whether it works this time. ] (]) 23:26, 3 December 2024 (UTC) | |||

| Hi: | |||
| :{{yo|ContributedEditor}} Thanks for your question. One of Misplaced Pages's fundamental principles is that it is an encyclopedia that ]. We always consider protection requests against that fundamental principle, and in general we only protect pages in response to active, ongoing disruption, when there is no better solution. Usually that means many disruptive edits by multiple editors in a short period of time, or it can mean a pattern of disruptive editing over a longer period of time. On ] I don't think either of those are happening: you found an error added several weeks earlier (so protection today would not help, in fact it might prevent someone else from fixing other errors), and before that I went back all the way to November to find just one edit that I thought was vandalism. I also don't think there's a pattern here, since the last time the article was protected was all the way back in 2023, and that was only for two days. You can read ] for more on this. Cheers! ] (<sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>) 20:19, 10 January 2025 (UTC) | |||
| The Lockerby Composite School Misplaced Pages page was recently edited to include controversial information about a murderer, a pipe bomb threat 25 years ago, and inappropriate teacher controversies. I am not affiliated with this high school, but noticed that other high schools in this school board (Rainbow District School Board) do not have such commentaries and the original write-up of this high school compared to other Rainbow District School Board currently on Misplaced Pages. | |||
| I went back to revert these controversial edits (by creating a Misplaced Pages account), but the person who added the controversial information, re-instated their edits. There was a note to say to contact/reach out to an Administrator on a list to review changes made. As such, I selected you to please review the controversial edits made. | |||
| Ultimately, I do not believe that the editor (Kline) used appropriate judgement to edit the high school Misplaced Pages page by writing several controversial information pieces. The editor (Kline) appears to be 'slandering' this particular high school. | |||

Gang rape#India has been subject to routine vandalism every month. Which you said doesn't qualify for it. Just to confirm, is this actually normal for wikipedia; the page is seriously meant to be like that forever? Random IPs can get their way for months unguarded?
