Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 02:41, 28 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

New York City Subway rolling stock (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection: Over the last six months there have been mostly unsourced additions from IPs and unconfirmed new editors. There is no reason this page should no longer be unprotected. The ease of adding unsourced information attracts these editors to vandalize this page. Acps110 02:40, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Declined for now - seems more like a content dispute and not too many anons involved - relist if situation worsens. AlexiusHoratius 23:37, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Tiger versus lion (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: Requesting for protection, for an article which is constantly having high-traffic edits by Ip Users, and Misplaced Pages Users which are not established. New and recent edits are mostly poorly sourced, and lack credibility. And a lot of reverting and edit-wars happening based on the history of the page, the article has just recently been removed from semi-protection, thus i am requesting for a longer duration of the semi-protection of the page. Thank you. User:Brazilian Tiger | Talk 02:26, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AlexiusHoratius 23:27, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AlexiusHoratius 23:29, 27 January 2012 (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.

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

Unprotection: I don't think this is a high priority to lock anymore, but if it is, can someone please add Category:Unprintworthy redirects and Category:Redirects from alternative names? Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:05, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

I don't know why this redirect was protected, so I'll not action your request; I have, however, added the two categories you mention. Salvio 11:48, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Done for the bot and as the requested categories have been added. If there are further issues please ask the protecting admin about the protection. AlexiusHoratius 23:45, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

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

The title Doctor page should be unprotected. It is not currently a true representation of doctoring professions, and it is criminal to censor other doctoring professions from adding their name to the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.176.201.50 (talk) 19:39, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Declined - your contributions don't show any edits to the talk page, but a lot of edit warring on the page itself. Try discussing things first and get a consensus for your changes. AlexiusHoratius 23:43, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

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.

Semi-protected for a period of 5 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Materialscientist (talk) 04:04, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

There have been plenty of constructive edits over the past few weeks and none of them have been vandalism. Your list is biased, censored, and an untrue representation of doctoring professions. If you want biased propaganda then keep the list the way it is. If you would like for this encyclopedia to be an accurate representation then it needs to be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.176.201.50 (talk) 19:46, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
