Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 00:33, 25 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

• Declined - ? sockpuppetry is going on, but I don't see a need for semiprotection right now. Requester has already been username-blocked by another admin. MastCell 20:37, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

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

Semi-protect - repeated reversion by various anon IPs to unsourced/OR version despite warnings left by various users. -choster 18:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Declined. Seems to be a content dispute. Protection policy does not allow for semi-protection where it will have the effect of locking out one side of the dispute. WjBscribe 19:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

semi-protection +expiry 2 weeks, Semi-protection: Vandalism, Chronic IP vandalism over several days from various sources. Vandal magnet. The article may need a longer period of protection (or further protection later) as 31st October approaches... 2 weeks is just a suggestion (since TW forces the choice of a time period) Bencherlite 18:17, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

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

Indefinite semi-protect. High target article; has been granted indef semi at least two times before, only to be unprotected without any discussion by random otherwise non-involved admins, much to my chagrin. My last request several weeks ago was met with a temporary two week semi, and sure as I predicted, the vandals returned almost instantly once this expired. Today there have been five (IIRC) just this morning. The article has undergone nearly no major edits in over a year by either users or IPs. Girolamo Savonarola 17:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected -- Anonymous Dissident 21:25, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

semi-protect. High level of reverts and conflicts from new and/or rotating IP addresses. Callmebc 15:31, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Fully protected You are editwarring, please take it to the talk page. -- John Reaves 15:47, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

CallmeBC does not wish to have edits besides his/her included. The editor clearly has a strong opinion on the subject as seen at his site aheckova.com but is not willing to compromise and has been blocked for short periods before because of intemperate edit summaries. This is just a desire from the requestor to "win" as they have already mentioned in their edit summaries. 68.242.64.112 15:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

What part of "High level of reverts and conflicts from new and/or rotating IP addresses." was not understood? Will someone check on the "contribs" of 68.242.64.112 -- it's a shortlived sockpuppet IP, one of many I've had to deal with over the past few days: zero (or irrelevant) discussions on the Talk page and chronic reverts of any attempt to fix problems with the main article. Please deal with this problem more appropriately. -BC aka Callmebc 15:54, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Now now, don't be a jerk. You and the IP are edit warring, plain and simple. It would unfair to only lock out the IP when you are just as gulity. -- John Reaves 18:27, 24 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.

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.
