Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 00:29, 11 September 2007

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

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

I am requesting indefinite semi protection of my user page because of vandal problems. A long time ago there was thins one vandal who persisted on British spellings in articles. Per guidelines, the American spellings were used as the articles started with those. Ever since then, he's been attacking me and other users and articles by adding loads of stupid comments and changing pages. He's been blocked like 100 times but appears to have a dynamic IP address. The RC partollers are helping, but not enough, and I'm personally tired of it. No matter the decision, thanks for reading.GrandMasterGalvatron 23:03, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

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

Semi. Ongoing IP vandalism due to the fact that the page has been proposed for deletion.The IP addresses deny to participate in the discussion so they keep removing the deletion tag. Sergiogr 21:02, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Declined. Technically, users are allowed to remove a PROD tag from an article, although they should give a decent reason for doing so. The PROD process is only to be used for articles whose deletion is fairly uncontroversial. Obviously, there is a controversy here, so please do not restore the tag and instead take this article to Articles for Deletion. Thanks, Satori Son 21:16, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

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

While dialoguing at Talk:Asana‎ on the correct word for the article and what should be the plural form of asana, User:Empacher cited from telephone calls and gives a list, which does not reflect the claims he makes. After disclosing this, he has been making edits to the article Asana, by roughly erasing pieces of the article. These are important parts, in which he erases for instance parts of Dharma Mittra, which is a leading yogi. This is not a serious user that tries to develop Misplaced Pages. I.e. he brought up Mittra, when he needed him to support his claim. Later he erases great parts of the article. Can he please be held off the article? Davin7 17:33, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

• Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. You may be looking for dispute resolution rather than page protection, though. MastCell 19:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

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

semi-protection +expiry 1 week, Semi-protection: Vandalism, A lot of vandalism in just 1 day, I can see it getting worse as Sarah Silverman made some comments about Britney Spears at the MTV Music Awards last night, that seemed to have caused a lot of "pro-Britney" users to vandalise this article. A week or less of semi protection for people to cool down a bit..Ryan4314 16:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

• Was coming here to request the same thing. I suggest it be semid for a longer period of time - perhaps 2 weeks. Eusebeus 17:22, 10 September 2007 (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.

Template:CongBio (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I know it's high risk. That's absolutely true. However, can't it be opened up to semi-protection? I'd really love to be able to edit this template I created, but I'm not ready to apply for administatorship.—Markles 00:29, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Declined - Used on almost 10,000 articles. If you want a change made (and there isn't much to change), use {{editprotected}}. Mr.Z-man 02:56, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Current requests for significant 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.

Template:Film (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I've been doing some major overhauling to the template, which was cut/pasted from a prototype on my user space to the template article. Unfortunately, there are still some minor bugs that need to be resolved, and it's difficult for me to get admins to make my requested changes. I'd like to request a temporary downgrade to semi-protection for one week in order to allow me to implement needed edits. Many thanks, Girolamo Savonarola 22:39, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected - just re-request here or contact me directly and I'll move it back up to full protection. Thanks for your work on the template. - Philippe | Talk 22:51, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Godzilla: Unleashed (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

An editor seems to have flown in to remove sourced content without explanation right before the article was protected. This was unrelated to the edit war that got it protected in the first place. The edits started right here. 21:14, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Would someone please to restore the content? Just64helpin 23:22, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Done WjBscribe 01:44, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

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

Just what the hell is going on here? Why is this page protected from recreation? This is a damn good redirect to List of Pokémon Anime Films, but I can't do anything about this since the page is protected from recreation, yet I see nothing in the log. TheBlazikenMaster 10:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Unprotected - I think that's a very valid point, especially given the page has actually never been created. If it becomes a problem later, we can deal with it in other ways - Alison ☺ 12:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I went ahead and created that redirect.--Chaser - T 17:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Immigration to Australia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I am attempting to add useful and accurate information to this page, including links to relevant legislation and comparisons to other jurisdictions. I request that the entry be reverted to my last edit, or some reasonable variation. jbdelaporte 23:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Declined - we're not going to revert to a previous version, which would have us taking part in an edit war. You may use the {{editprotected}} tag on the article talk page, with your suggested changes, and we can evaluate whether to make those changes on your behalf. - Philippe | Talk 23:52, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I find this very confusing. I thought the instructions were to only use the tag for a minor edit.jbdelaporte 00:08, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

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

At Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR‎ I asked for a large number of reversions in content disputes by the user Francis Tyers. The article were protected by all the Wiki users in last variant reverted by Francis Tyers. Some parts of reverts even arent explained in the talk page! For example he never explains why he readded "large number" term, deleted <fact> tag despite no citations from the HRW and Memorial Human Rights Center provided etc (he tried to explain only why he deleted some links which he marks as "hysteric"). I request that the entry be reverted to the last edit by Pocopocopocopoco or some reasonable variation. Andranikpasha 10:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Declined, Should discuss this on the article talk page. Navou 13:05, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protect. There seems to be a consistent amount of IP vandalism. Eagle Owl 16:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 6 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. IP vandalism was significant and ongoing, while constructive IP edits were virtually non-existent. Article has been semi-protected three times in last four months, most recently for four weeks. -- Satori Son 17:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

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

Semi-protect: This page is a vandalism magnet that requires repeated reverts several times a day. Very few of the resulting edits are beneficial to the page. Mu understanding is that the FA'd Earth page has been semi-protected several times already, without alleviating the vandalism. Please consider an indefinite semi-protection status. Thank you. — RJH (talk) 15:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 8 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.; complete lack of productive IP edits. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 16:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Rock of Love with Bret Michaels (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect: IPs constantly adding unverified information and testing the table when the consensus has been reached to format the table in the current state. Miranda 15:08, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Declined Many good edits coming through from anons, don't want to filter those out. ~ Riana ⁂ 15:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

The IPs can sign up for an account. Also, there is unverified information being constantly inserted into the article. For example, episode 12 which hasn't even aired yet has a full summary. You can revert the unverified information, because this article isn't worth my time anymore since most of the information is unverified. Miranda 15:22, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

We can't force anyone to sign up for accounts. I am under no obligation to revert something because you feel it isn't 'worth your time'. Leaving for another admin's review. ~ Riana ⁂ 15:24, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

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

full-protect: An escalating IP edit war involving clear vandalism in the form of deletions of sourced content. One registered editor stepped in and reverted a couple of the edits but really it seems to me that the best solution would be to revert all edits back to and including the latest outbreak on September 5th and give the article full-protection as this type of thing has occurred before. Other related articles that have been affected, at least by related 'spamming', in the past are Arthur Janov, Scream therapy, and The Primal Scream. Since I plugged some 'leaks' in those articles the attack has shifted back to where it began. GrahameKing 07:09, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Declined Just warn and revert the POV edits and spamming. No need for protection as yet. --D_arkF_alls 09:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

John F. Kennedy International Airport (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

semi-protect Over the last few days, time referenced 16:44, 1 September 2007 to present (all times UTC), there has been an edit war with regard to an airline's right to transport passengers domestically vs internationally, but I'll spare the details. In short, according to WP:Airports and US travel rules, a domestic route can not be flown by an international carrier in which passengers are permitted to purchase a ticket only for that domestic flight. Anon editors have gone on the attack. Any break in the editing may cause these users to lose interest, therefore any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you. Neo16287 03:50, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Miles "Tails" Prower (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The page has come under too much vandalism from anons. so it should be protected so that only regestered users can edit. For proof of my statement, just go ahead and check it's edit history.

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I don't see much activity the last couple of days. Navou 03:36, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Serbia (1941-1944) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

semi-protect. IP vandalism by sockpuppets of the banned User:Velebit. He now uses anon number code user names. He continually reposts tags for the page being biased or "totally disputed" or that it is "completely unreferenced" when it is referenced. Only this user finds bias in this article, in spite of every attempt possible in the past to reduce any such bias to a minimum. When users remove the now unneeded bias tag, "completely unrefenced and others, he responds by accusing the one who removed it for "vandalizing" the page. R-41 02:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Not a good deal of activity. Navou 03:37, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
