Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 17:23, 13 February 2008

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

  • True, but he's done this enough times before that once he'd returned this time I figured we should try to get the jump on him and stop it before he started going crazy again. I'll be back in a day or two once people have gotten sick of reverting him again... --Maelwys (talk) 14:34, 13 February 2008 (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.

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

It should not be protected. I wanted to add references, not from nationalist point of view, neither from unreliable sources. I wanted to add references from Thucydides and Plutarch, tow Greek, ancient historians, with the external links, to their works. Isn`t that normal?

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

unprotection, Hello, you can unprotect my first Tequila article. Relevance: This brand is being distributed in 18 states and 4 countries at least. And I know more countries are coming... It is a very good brand. And it is not an advert -I will take care of the article-.

This is a very well known brand in the Tequila forums. Please check references and un-protect it. Suggestions are welcomed.

Also, you can check: This review from Tequila.net

You can see the draft article in my user page. Thanks in advance! Ubzy (talk) 16:50, 13 February 2008 (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.

Fulfilled/denied requests

Ben Collins (driver) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

temporary semi-protection. This is a biography of a living person. The racing driver has appeared as a guest on BBC Top Gear (current format) on several occasions. Despite these appearances being clearly documented, the article still attracts a high-percentage of IP-address edits (ignoring my own clean-up edits in the last 24hours). The IP-address edits involve a combination of vandalism, repeated attempts at adding unreferenced material and speculation. —Sladen (talk) 10:35, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Jmlk17 11:04, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't know how to use this interface.... Wikitony and I are still going at it. Protection might be the best bet

Declined I don't see any need to protect this talk page. Please explain why you think protection is necessary. Kusma (talk) 2008 Sungnyemun fire (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

temporary semi protection This article is a spin-off of Sungnyemun article and deals with the current event regarding fire incident a few days ago. The Sungnyemun article has been a subject of edit warring bewtween ip users or new user, so it is under semi-protecton for 2 weeks. I think this new article should be granted by the same protection length. --Appletrees (talk) 09:58, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Jmlk17 10:04, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

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

Semiprotection - two weeks. An IP reverts on a once per day basis to his favoured version and has steadfastly refused to ever enter into a word of discussion, despite repeated entreaties. Requesting semi-protection in preference to a long term IP block. — BillC 08:56, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Since it is just the one user, they have been blocked. If they do return, please try AIV. :) Jmlk17 09:07, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

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

Semiprotection - perpetual. This article has been the target of vandals nearly since its creation. Over 90% of edits in last two years appear to be either vandalism by non-registered users and reverts of such vandalism. —Quicksilver 08:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. During the last 3 days, there's been only 3 rounds of vandalism. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:31, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:WikiProject France (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

unprotection , Log: high-use, high-risk template , but other wikiproject templates aren't protected such as {{WikiProject United States}}, so I see no need for this one to be protected in particular, it has never been vandalised or been the subject of an edit war as far as I can see, and editors would like to edit it to fix syntax errors..Jackaranga (talk) 02:30, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Declined as the template has over 5,000 transclusions which warrants such a protection. I can see how many non-administrators may want to make changes to the template, but {{editprotected}} exists and large changes (not implying that syntax error fixing is a large change) should be discussed prior to the change actually being made in order to gain a consensus. Spebi 05:54, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

User talk:65.31.55.44 (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

Blocked user abusing others on their Talk page. Corvus cornix_talk 03:24, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

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

2 weeks semiprotection persistent "humor" from various IPs, probably used by the same person. Attempts to claim that alpaca spit is poisonous, that alpacas look like sloths, and other ridiculous things that are kind of funny, but getting tedious to revert. Durova 03:12, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. – Gonzo fan2007 04:28, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

temporary full protection Dispute, Edit warring between two users.~~ 14:13, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

comment Did you attempt mediation or any form of dispute resolution first? Wisdom89 _{(T / )} 14:49, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I have sort of come in to this as a 3rd party. I saw one post on AIV regarding the blocking of the other "edit warring" user. I warned each user about potential violation of 3RR, and posted here in an attempt to cool the tempers over it. ~~ 14:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Declined No warring at the moment, but if it starts up again, don't hesitate to come back here. -Jéské 04:26, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Associated Broadcasting Company (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi protection anon users continue to add hoax information to this article after the semi-protection expired two days ago -Danngarcia (talk) 13:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Comment As only a third party, examination of the history does reflect this activity. I would endorse a semi-protection. Wisdom89 _{(T / )} 17:10, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I will note, though, that there seems to be only one range attacking this page: 121.97.x.x. I'd ask at WP:AN/I for a rangeblock; I don't have the technical knowhow to pull one off. -Jéské 04:28, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

DZOZ-TV (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi protection an anon user adds hoax information to this article similar to the edits of the Associated Broadcasting Company article -Danngarcia (talk) 13:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

comment Might be more appropriate to warn/attempt to talk to the anon first, and then report protracted abuse to WP:AIV. Wisdom89 _{(T / )} 15:06, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Comment Actually there are at least 2 or 3 anon users that vandalizes this page in the same manner as the ABC article. -Danngarcia (talk) 18:46, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Comment Checking the history, it appears that you are correct. You had specified a single anon user though. I also would agree that this page should be temporary semi-protected as a deterrent. Waiting for admins. Wisdom89 _{(T / )} 19:01, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
