Misplaced Pages

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

Specific description of the requested edit:

Delete this statements:

• Under his office, Hungary suffered a high-profile athletic doping scandal during the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. (no reference to justify the connection with him)

• After his return to politics, Gyurcsány was at first tight-lipped on his religious affiliation, leading many to assume that he is an atheist (as can be expected from a former KISZ leader).

(Referenced content don't justify about this this statement. The "as can be expected from a former KISZ leader" is an subjective opinion. Thanks --Beyond silence 23:29, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Declined It seems to have been protected due to an edit war involving these statements. Protection is so parties are forced to either discuss or give up. Try one of those (preferably the former). Mr.Z-mantalk¢ 19:03, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

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

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.

Indefinite semi-protection: Constant anon-related vandalism, probably won't stop anytime soon.--Zxcvbnm 21:28, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Note: the page appears to be a (contested with {{hangon}}, db-template removed) candidate for speedy deletion. Nihiltres 21:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

The page is notable, and it's about as important as other message boards that already have articles here. It's impossible to add to it because of the vandalism, though.--Zxcvbnm 21:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

semi-protect. Persistent vandalism by a user new to editing the article who being a nuisance and not posting controversial edits on talk page for consensus discussion prior to making them, violating Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines pertaining to core policies like Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view, WP:CITE, WP:BLP, and Misplaced Pages:Guidelines for controversial articles, and who has been deleting carefully-documented updated information to article relating to current events. Concern that this kind of tendentious editing will lead to a recurrence of edit warring, which has occurred in this article in the past. NYScholar 20:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. by LessHeard vanU for 48 hours. Since this is an issue with a single editor, I don't think further action is necessary at this time. Nihiltres 21:28, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection. I suggest semi-protecting this page for a very long period. This page has ben a subject of edit warring especially by unregistered users who either inflate of decrease the numbers. --No.13 19:32, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Nihiltres 19:44, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

User talk:MrClaxson (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite protection: talkpage of banned user MrClaxson is just using his talkpage to abuse {{unblock}}, try to pretend that he wasn't blocked and just retired and generally being a nuisance. He can't ever be unblocked since he's a clear sockpuppet of Claxson (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), ClaxsonKíng (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and KingClaxson (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and KingoftheClaxsons (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), so there's no point just letting him be disruptive: he's got no reason to continue having the privilege of editing his talkpage. I would also suggest that it be reverted to this "stable" version (before the blanking began). All of his other sockpuppets (see here) had to have their talkpages protected for trolling, disruptive editing and personal attacks.--Rambutan (talk) 16:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Nihiltres 18:24, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Great. Thanks!--Rambutan (talk) 18:24, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Big Mountain Ski Resort (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection Multiple IP addresses simply re-adding blatantly POV tract with no discussion, no edit summary, no references, after repeated requests from three other editors to discuss. From the history of this page, a look at contributions from July 14 to July 18 shows a large pool of IP addresses ready to take up the slack when one of them is blocked. --barneca (talk) 15:09, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Peacent 15:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This page is going to be one of the most viewed pages on Misplaced Pages within the next 24-48 hours and also have large amounts of new information to be added before and after book is released. I understand the need to prevent vandalism and am only requesting a return to semi-protection, but I believe this article should follow the full protection guidelines for a Main Page FA. Joshdboz 11:25, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I've already taken this up with the protecting admin. I would recommend a change to semiprotect at 2300 UTC today, which is the official release time of the novel, having been chosen because it's midnight in the timezone of the author and publisher. --Tony Sidaway 12:00, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

This would effectively prevent all new and incoming information from the thoudands of news articles covering its release form being added. I see no logical point in doing so. Joshdboz 12:16, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

You're right. I hadn't thought of that. --Tony Sidaway 12:22, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Already unprotected. - page is currently only semi-protected, as requested. Nihiltres 13:00, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Full protection Persistent vandalism. Rwxrwxrwx 09:37, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Declined - does not look like intentional vandalism to me, and not too much activity. Try talking to the other users. If that fails, blocking is preferable to protection in cases of vandalism. Kusma (talk) 09:59, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

User:Vayne (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection. An unknown person with a dynamic IP seems to have a personal issue with me and the articles I contribute to and watch for vandalism. Their constant vandalism of my user page is causing me to feel extremely frustrated with Misplaced Pages, especially since all I've ever tried to do is add to the project. I'd like to put an end to their harassment permanently on my user page. Thank you. Vayne 07:03, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

List of MMORPGs (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

semi-protect. High levels of IP vandalism inserting non-MMORPGS and/or patent nonsense/profanity under the guise of game titles. I'm wearing out the undo button. ZayZayEM 06:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. ~ Riana ⁂ 07:08, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Full protection Book 7 leaked and possibility of spoilers from text. Cswksu 03:59, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Declined The recent NYT article indicates the leak is real, which nullifies the policy objection. The only remaining issue is whether a plot summary is against a strong consensus. My reading of the talk page is that things are going the opposite direction.--Chaser - T 04:06, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

The debate has shifted against using the bittorrent leak as a source, but the request is nonetheless declined per the fact that there is no reason for protection under the protection policy and two ANI discussions rejected protection for other reasons.--Chaser - T 14:03, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
