Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 03:27, 10 June 2013

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

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

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent edit warring by IP user who is pushing OR and fringe theory. BabelStone (talk) 11:55, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Non-admin comment: I took a look at the page history and the so called "fringe theories" that the IP is accused of pushing, and found nothing fringe in them. Quite the opposite, because it is the article as User:BabelStone is trying to preserve it that is full of fringe theories and unsourced or badly sourced claims. Which goes for both Runes and Ancient kings of Finland, so I'll add the same comment to both of them. Thomas.W (talk) 12:26, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

The IP's claim that the Germanic languages of Northern Europe have a Finnish origin and that the oldest Runic inscriptions are in Finnish are however very fringe. So the IP's edits are a mix of fringe and not fringe. As is the entire article, even without the IP's edits. Thomas.W (talk) 13:26, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Declined This appears to be a content dispute. Discussion is taking place on the talk page and an experienced editor is monitoring. I have warned the IP for his aggressive behaviour, edit warring, and personal remarks. Please re-report if the situation changes. Dianna (talk) 02:24, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Ancient kings of Finland (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent edit warring by IP user who is pushing OR and fringe theory. BabelStone (talk) 11:55, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Declined The IP appears to be attempting to add sourced content. If there's a problem with the validity of the sources, please discuss it with the other party or take it to the relevant notice board. Dianna (talk) 02:07, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

King of Kvenland (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent edit warring by IP user who is pushing OR and fringe theory. BabelStone (talk) 11:55, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Non-admin comment: I took a look at the page history and the so called "fringe theories" that the IP is accused of pushing, and found nothing fringe in them. Quite the opposite, because it is the article asUser:BabelStone is trying to preserve it that is full of fringe theories and unsourced or badly sourced claims. After taking a look at King of Kvenland I'll extend my comments to that article too. Vital parts of that article as BabelStone wants to keep it (including a list of fictional kings that is supposed to prove that kings of Sweden, England and various other places were of Finnish descent) is based on nothing more than totally unsubstantiated claims made in personal blogs, and blogs are not reliable sources. Thomas.W (talk) 12:45, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Declined This looks like a content dispute to me. There's been no talk page edits since 2006. Please discuss the proposed edits with the other user on the talk page. Dianna (talk) 02:04, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Every other edit to this page recently has been vandalism or spam. Please can we have semi-protection or even better pending changes (as the odd IP does have constructive material to contribute)?. Biker Biker (talk) 08:53, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a one month trial period. Please re-report if this works out and we can extend the protection or switch to semi Dianna (talk) 02:01, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Middle Tennessee Christian School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection. Persistent vandalism. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 04:54, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Rape during the liberation of France (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Edit war appears to be in full progress. (I am an uninvolved editor.) Judging by the talk page, there is an extensive amount of disagreement on a range of issues, including whether this article should even exist. I think a cooling-off period would be useful. Taroaldo ✉ 03:49, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Note: subsequent to my posting of a message on both editors' talk pages, there was some discussion between them on the article's talk page. While the tone was less than pleasant, it appears some progress was made. Hopefully it will be sufficient. Taroaldo ✉ 04:31, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Declined Normal editing seems to have resumed for the time being. Please re-report if problematic activity starts up again. Dianna (talk) 01:54, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection Plug-unplug IP continually removing content from page; suspect an IP sock of a blocked user. Nate • (chatter) 03:05, 9 June 2013 (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.

The Art of Dying (Cashis album) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotection: The now appropriate article is located at The Art of Dying (Ca$his album), however that page must be moved to this one to avoid using special characters or stylizations in article titles. STATic message me! 18:35, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Declined for now. The original title was salted, and the current title is at AfD, so it's best to wait until that's over. SlimVirgin 02:36, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

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.
