Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 13:28, 14 April 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

File:Decker-closeup.JPG (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

C-upload. Another unprotected image on the front page (the third fourth that I alone have found in the last couple weeks!). Just a matter of time before the main page is vandalized. 65.213.184.1 (talk) 13:16, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

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

temporary full protection after restoring the deleted references. Spillover from nl:Misplaced Pages where a group of users try to eliminate every appearance of my name and undo any edit that I make. Note that conflict of interest no longer applies to the references, except that I cannot revert. I'd further appreciate an attempt to prevent expansion of the warzone. The article is normally updated once a year. Regards, Guido den Broeder (talk) 13:11, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

For your information: NL.wiki arbcom has taken severe measures against Guido den Broeder for self promotion. We have invented the unimportance of his work. Please don't help him. GijsvdL (talk) 13:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Full-protection; person is possibly dead (a body was found at London Paddington, possibly his) but there's a dispute on whether we should wait for the post-mortem to confirm it or not. Sceptre 11:07, 14 April 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.

Unprotect This page was salted due to author lack of experince/knowledge adding/editing article at Misplaced Pages. This is a relisting of old message at WP:RUP, as I did'nt get a response before. Admin עוד מישהו Od Mishehu requested me to post a message here once more. With his request, I have added a separate page for the artice at User:Shivaji Mitra/LesTout.com. Thanks. --Shivaji Mitra (talk) 05:12, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Unprotected Please remember to move User:Shivaji Mitra/LesTout.com to LesTout.com to preserve the article history. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 05:57, 14 April 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.

Unprotect the film was protected a long time ago (it was already protected at the time when I saw it the first time) and that seems to be stemming from the quarrel between pretentious people that dispute over scientific details in the film rather than cinematic contents. This appears to be ended now (the talk page is silent by this point). So it is the time to lift the protection. Chimeric Glider (talk) 22:19, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose in the strongest of terms. There's not much wrong with the article, and unprotection never, ever ends well for it. It has proven to be a magnet for bad behaviour. Unprotecting it is just making it an absolute crap shoot in terms of what winds up being in the article when it's protected again.Kww (talk) 01:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't know exactly the rules on this, but I don't think on Misplaced Pages you can protect an article forever. It got to be stopped one day, and delaying it would only foment more resentment. Chimeric Glider (talk) 01:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I propose a protection interval of forever-1 day, in order to comply with regulations.Kww (talk) 02:05, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Declined, for administration sake. This is actually not declined, but I am going to look into this matter, and open discussion on the proposal to unprotect. I don't think RFPP is a suitable venue for this; a more in-depth look and analysis is required, which I'm going to undertake presently. Anthøny 00:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
