The article curently violates Misplaced Pages Policy because it contains a very large amount of ] and does not contain the fact/citation request tags that were there. I don't believe the discussion will move forward if the OR remains on the protected page.

===={{la|John_Buscema}}====

In the interest of improving article's overall research credibility and accuracy, exceptional situation edit requested due to significant corrections to the footnote references. Since the page was protected, I've taken the time to go over all the referenced passages and realized that in previous versions, there were mistakes in major reference works cited. The correct info for 3 major reference works cited are as follows:
:Spurlock, D., & Buscema, J.(2001) John Buscema Sketchbook. New Jersey:Vanguard Productions
: Comic Book Artist, 21 (Aug. 2002)
: Alter Ego, v.3, (June 2002)

In addition, the previous versions have various formatting problems, including non-sequential use of 'ibid', which Wiki guidelines advise against.

Request to replace current version with corrected version found at http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Skyelarke. (Please note that if any policy and guideline problems with the corrected article are noticed, I'd be more than happy to be made aware of them.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:John_Buscema

Current situation with dispute can be seen at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/John_Buscema

PS - If this isn't feasible, at least upload the http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Skyelarke version onto the article and revert back to the current version - as I feel having an accurate, clearly referenced version on record, with the dating and comparison functions, will help with the mediation process. In any case, it's the version I'd like to work with in mediation rather than the 12:48, 12 June 2007 version; it would also free up space on my user page.

Help with this exceptional situation would be much appreciated.

    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    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.

    2025 Canadian federal election

    Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Just your basic, textbook edit war: EC users declaring on the talk page that their preferred version has consensus and reverting the article accordingly, while discussion is still ongoing. I am involved. Ivanvector (/Edits) 14:37, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    @Ivanvector: It's been 4 hours since the last edit that seems to be part of the content dispute. Is this still needed? Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:00, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
    @Daniel Quinlan: no, probably not. Cooler heads are prevailing on the talk page. Ivanvector (/Edits) 20:52, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
    Not done. As per above discussion. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:01, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    List of hybrid creatures in folklore

    Reason: Request for semi-protection because a vandal using different IPs keeps returning to the page to make multiple unconstructive test edits inserting original research, reverts, and then returns again to repeat the process. Mr Fink (talk) 15:01, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked: 2606:9400:ae00::/40 (talk · contribs). 3 months. Favonian (talk) 16:18, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    Führer

    Reason: Persistent vandalism, persistent disruptive editing, high-risk page due to subject. Requested protection level: Semi-protection or extended protection due to some logged in users seemingly disruptively editing the page, the hist. of the page looks reminiscent of an edit war due to constant reverting, with some normal edits and vandalism in between. RaschenTechner (talk) 16:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    Note: @RaschenTechner: If the level of disruption doesn't reduce to a more manageable level with pending changes protection, someone can file a new protection request and we'll consider it, but it looks like most of the disruption is from new and unregistered users. If there's only occasional vandalism by autoconfirmed editors, please warn the user(s) appropriately then report them to WP:AIV or WP:ANI if they continue. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:25, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
    Pending-changes protected indefinitely. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:09, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    User:VSOian

    Reason: Since, I am using this device from a Cyber Cafe. There are many people who also use this device, I don't want any one to, by any chance log in to my Misplaced Pages account. Prevent IP Vandalism. I only, want my ownself, to be able to edit my own Misplaced Pages User page- User:VSOian Thank You. VSOian (talk) 17:22, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    Declined - pages are not protected preemptively, and an edit filter already prevents edits by IP and new users to other users' user pages. Also, protecting your user page will not prevent anyone else using your account if you leave it logged in on a public computer. Please remember to log out when you are finished editing on a public computer, and please see Misplaced Pages:User account security. If your user page is being vandalized, please make a new request or report at WP:ANI. Thank you. Ivanvector (/Edits) 18:09, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Shortcuts

    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.

    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.
