Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:31, 23 June 2010

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

Temporary semi-protection, IP editor keeps adding irrelevant and poorly sourced attack on an unrelated subject. Verbal chat 19:37, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

On the other hand if there is no conversation during those three days and the ip returns to edit war some more, re-report here. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:35, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Declined I only see two recent reverts, article has never been protected before to indefinite protection would be way out of line. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:31, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

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

Indefinite/Long term semi protection false information is continually added by an IP - the IP is fairly static, so maybe a long term block of the IP addresses that have been used would be more effective. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 18:02, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. for a month HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:16, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 19:56, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

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

Semi protection was removed, vandalism immediately went into overdrive. Semi protection was restored, and of course, vandalism ended, but almost immediately, without discussiion, the semi protection was removed again, and vandalism is back to its unacceptable level. Indefinite semi protection, vandalism is constant. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 17:42, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Declined Needless to say, this is a disaster. But the page is currently undergoing a Pending Changes test so vandalism shouldn't be a serious issue. -FASTILY 17:50, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Republic of Ragusa (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -FASTILY 17:47, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Help:Pending changes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite cascading semi-protection, High visibility page. monosock 17:28, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. -FASTILY 17:45, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

WWE Money in the Bank (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, There is high rate of vandalism on page. Max Viwe | Wanna chat with me? 16:57, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. TFOWR 17:03, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

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

Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, Enough is enough. Frank Fontaine (talk) 16:34, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Isn't that under Pending Changes Protection? The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 16:41, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

I haven't been on here since FV was added. No idea! Haha. --Frank Fontaine (talk) 16:44, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to be - it looks like PC protection was removed because it hadn't gone through the proper channels. Anyhoo... I'm taking a look now. TFOWR 16:46, 23 June 2010 (UTC) Ignore me, it quite clearly is: history shows PCs being accepted and unaccepted. TFOWR 16:47, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Already protected. I'm going to decline, on the basis that it is under pending changes protection, so vandalism isn't getting through to casual readers. Equally, vandalism is getting caught by reviewers. If there were legitimate IP edits caught up amongst the vandalism edits I'd be prepared to re-think, however. TFOWR 16:51, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I just semi protected it because there has been nothing but vandalism since the PC was implemented. I've brought it up at WT:Reviewing, but TFOWR, feel free to revert me. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:02, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Nope, no reverting necessary! No point creating unnecessary work for the editors there, which is what PC-not-semi was doing. TFOWR 17:05, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Repeatedly seeing IP vandalism. — Zhernovoi (talk) 16:06, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Might be a bit short, but it's not been protected for some time. TFOWR 16:55, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Frank De Bleeckere (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Referee in the America Algeirs match, the previous referee was attack for refusing a goal, this referee has also refused a goal and is under attack already. The previous wikipedia BLP of the previous referee was mentioned for the attacks in multiple press sources, the type of advertising we can do without. Please semi protect 48 hours. Off2riorob (talk) 15:28, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected 7 days. Bencherlite 16:14, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

List of Days of our Lives cast members (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Article is seeing IP vandalism everyday. Numerous unsourced controversial additions despite warnings to stop. Rm994 (talk) 15:10, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Recently protected for one week, nonsense seems to have resumed when protection ended. I suspect you'll be back here in a fortnight's time... :-( TFOWR 15:20, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

East–West Schism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary Full protection I was invited in as part of a WP:3O yesterday, Both editors at the article are edit warring over content with mass changes and revisions. Request protection for 72 hours while attempt to mediate and draw in more users from associated Wikiprojects to acheive a consensus on issues in dispute Weaponbb7 (talk) 14:38, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 72 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I would have preferred to have blocked the two editors involved for slow edit warring. However, I respect your efforts to mediate and believe that allowing the editors involved to participate is more important. TFOWR 14:52, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

User:The Utahraptor (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, High risk of vandalism. The Utahraptor 14:05, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected. Courcelles (talk) 14:09, 23 June 2010 (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.

Fulfilled/denied requests

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

Temporary semi-protection. It is going to be on DYK today. Would be good to protect for 48 hours. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 10:10, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. I don't think DYK articles get routinely hit. Re-request if it actually starts getting hit. GedUK  10:33, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

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

The article has been protected in the past: , but when the protection expired the revert game started again. It is an ethnic edit war, mainly between Slovakian users and Hungarian users and some editors really seem to enjoy it (edit summary: "almost forgot" by User:Nmate, who was also blocked in the past for"ethnic slurs and incivility") (Modrýklaun (talk) 05:58, 23 June 2010 (UTC))

Fully protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I have to admit curiosity as to who you are though; first 5 edits being on this page is quite unusual. GedUK  10:21, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

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

Another battlefield for the actors from the above edit war(Modrýklaun (talk) 09:42, 23 June 2010 (UTC))

Fully protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GedUK  10:23, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

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

Administrator user talk:AnemoneProjectors has locked the page and is now editing it himself, which is abuse of power.

Declined The content disupte for which the page was protected was about something different. This edit updates the page on a different issue. GedUK  10:38, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Puerto Rican migration to New York (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotection on pending changes. Tbhotch 18:01, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

I looked at this logged out and I only view the source - kinda makes pending changes pointless. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 18:16, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Declined. This is being dealt with elsewhere. SlimVirgin 18:45, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

So, removal of pennding changes, it has no sense. Tbhotch 21:03, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Unprotected —Ed (talk • majestic titan) 05:20, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Now here's an interesting thing. When I saw the request to add protection, I looked at the protection log, not by clicking on "log," but by going to the top of the article and clicking on "protect." This is what I saw. The last two entries were:
