Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 09:46, 26 January 2012

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

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.

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.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism from anonymous IPs. It'll probably cool down once the event finishes this Sunday. BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 19:46, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected for 3 hours. The level of constructive IP edits is fairly high except in the last 2 hours, so I want to keep the lock short. Deryck C. 20:28, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protection Persistent sockpupptery. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 19:37, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected for 3 months. I don't want to lock the page for "sockpuppetry" because there isn't any formal allegation of such; however, the level of IP abuse is high enough to warrant protection anyway. Deryck C. 20:22, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

I wonder if it would be worth it to place a rangeblock on Boll's IP range. His idiocy extends beyond just this one article. Syrthiss (talk) 17:20, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. - Single IP blocked two months. If you think other IPs from the range have been active, please list their addresses. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 17:32, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Too many to easily dig up. I'll just go file a SPI. My talkpage has a few, Pebble bed reactor has a few in its history, and who know where-else the user has been. Thx. Syrthiss (talk) 17:38, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

I also semi'ed the article for 1 month, since looking at the history is a horrible mash of IPs beyond just one range. Syrthiss (talk) 17:42, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protection. Persistent vandalism. Jim1138 (talk) 02:08, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Mike Dean (referee) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary or permanent semi-protection: This article, and the others about the other Premier League referees, is consistently subject to IP vandalism. All it takes is one controversial decision, like a red card or a penalty kick, by the referee and the article immediately becomes liable to a spate of vandalism. As someone who has spent a considerable amount of time and effort shaping this (and the other) articles so that they conform to the BLP and NPOV guidelines, and as someone who has also spent a lot of time reverting the constant vandalism and regularly requesting semi-protection, I'd like to ask for a more prolonged semi-protection from IP vandalism (such as 1 year) or even permanent semi-protection. Mike Dean is one of the more regular targets, but I also have problems with Martin Atkinson, Stuart Attwell, Phil Dowd, Chris Foy, Michael Oliver, and Howard Webb. Similar action on these (or indeed all of the current referees would be appreciated, as this is becoming very tiresome! --TBM10 (talk) 22:35, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
