Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:00, 20 March 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

Template:North Kosovo, Rocky Marciano and other Mkil vandalism

full protection vandalism

Need your assistance, hopefully from somebody who understands some history. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=392973 in this article and in many you will read there are about 50% serbs in north kosovo, thus that would amount to 50-55%. As you can see http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=North_Kosovo&diff=199583456&oldid=199424784 he is reverting number 50.

Philippines-American war, Czolgosz shot and killed President and that is a fact, he is reverting that http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Philippine-American_War&diff=199583692&oldid=199506310

Murad I reverting fact that Murad was killed by poisoned knife.

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Murad_I&diff=199084026&oldid=198426792

Rocky Marciano http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Rocky_Marciano&diff=199221632&oldid=199217653 again if you divide 43 by 50 you get 87.755% was his knockout %, he deleted that, then 18 months pneumonia is also a fact http://www.rockymarciano.com/biography.html but yet again he reverted that knowing its wrong.

As we can see he has been wrong on many issues before, on simple wikipedia http://simple.wikipedia.org/User_talk:MKil#Rocky_Marciano_decision we see that he was proven wrong on certain things time after time, after time. As we can see, he has been warned before on 3 rule revert. http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:MKil#3RR_stuff and he is wrong on many other articles as many other users tell him to stop it but he goes on (also has certain administrator help him escape punishment by deleting his history) http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:MKil#Joe_Calzaghe, so revert the mkil edits and protect the pages, it's up to you if you want to keep wikipedia more accurate. http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:MKil#Wrestling I do not want to touch any of these sites, as he always used that against me and other, comparing somebody to somebody who is not or to a suspended user or so on, mkil has been a problem and he does not belong here, he always has an explanation, but should be ignored, always! There are countless other examples, it would take me forever to write them all down! And not only on english wikipedia! He was kicked out and suspended from countless boxing forums under different names.

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

semi-protection. Indef-blocked user repeatedly using IPs to evade his block and add commercial messages to this article. See Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/Transitguru. Two recent and brief semi-protections effective, but user keeps readding commercial plug after protection expires. This is a disambiguation page that gets very little real editing, so a long semi-protection may make the spammer go away with very little harm done. Darkspots (talk) 19:33, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

temporary full protection Dispute, It was semi-protected yesterday due to edit-warring over the album cover by IPs and newly registered accounts; however the edit warring seems to have continued by accounts that are over the autoconfirmed limit.

semi-protection - IP user doing.... I honestly have no clue what the hell he's doing. I don't know if it qualifies as vandalism, but it is annoying and needs to stop. He made a minor edit (changing the number of losses she has from 182 to the incorrect 183) and is repeatedly changing it back and forth between the two numbers.

temporary semi-protection , This is a page on a subject that's likely to be deluged with a flood of OR over the coming days/weeks, as press launches, rumours and leaks... erm... leak. All of the unacceptable material - and very little valid stuff - comes from IPs; I suggest a week's semi-protection..—TreasuryTag—t—c 16:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Better still, reinstate the indef semi-protection. Unprotecting was, unfortunately, a disaster. Will 17:03, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Rudget. 17:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Good call; I'd still recommend a longer one now I'm not in a minority :-D —TreasuryTag—t—c 17:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I generally agree, and going by the past logs, the page is a bit of a problem. Let's see how this goes, and if it comes back straight after unprotection, bring directly here or to my talk page. Thanks, Rudget. 17:09, 20 March 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.

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.

semi-protect - I've been working on this article for a few months now and I've noticed that there is periodic vandalism (particularly homophobic vandalism) posted by anonymous users that's disruptive and unnecessary. The latest round of such vandalism occurred on 18 March by 79.67.56.71 (see revision history). Registered users do not commit this type of vandalism, of course, so I was hoping to have this article semi-protected so that anonymous users cannot edit.
