Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 18:32, 8 April 2010

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

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

semi-protection vandalism, Under heavy attack from a dynamic IP.  – iridescent 17:15, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AlexiusHoratius 17:26, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

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

Indefinite Full-protection, The article is subject to vandalism by IPs and certain members. Semi-protection does not appear to be effective. Each edit must be passed through admins as the article is highly controversial. TheDarkLordSeth (talk) 16:42, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Declined - although the article history seems pretty active recently, indef full protection would make the article basically off-limits to everyone. Blocks for edit warring or WP:3RR would be a better option here. AlexiusHoratius 17:29, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Please note the requester is almost certainly going to be topic banned per Armenia-Azerbaijan case. KillerChihuahuaAdvice 18:32, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Margaret Curran (politician) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection I am not actually a fan of this person myself, but this article (and its talk page) have been the subject of a significant amount of clearly malicious anonymous editing recently, and as she is the candidate in a high-profile marginal constituency in the United Kingdom general election, 2010 due to take place on 6 May this may well continue. PatGallacher (talk) 15:56, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AlexiusHoratius 17:33, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Javier Hernández (footballer) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect. Typical transfer silliness, lots of vandalism in the past few minutes and will continue. x42bn6 Talk Mess 15:41, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. 48 hour protection should be sufficient. – PeeJay 16:16, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Very heavy activity, please protect immediately. - Stillwaterising (talk) 16:57, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AlexiusHoratius 17:10, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

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

Indefinite full protection vandalism, Constant vandalism on this page, not just recently. Ccrashh (talk) 12:51, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. (Most of the vandalism was pretty recent, history then jumps back to January, so shorter period for now.) AlexiusHoratius 17:13, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Final Fantasy Versus XIII (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect. Vandalism. Temporary semi-protect does not appear to be effective, as vandalism continues after it's unprotected. Requesting longer semi-protection. The Taerkasten (talk) 12:49, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AlexiusHoratius 17:41, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

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

Semi-protect. High level of vandalism from IPs and new accounts. Vandalism of page requested on this page, and per this edit temporary semi-protection seems called for. bonadea contributions talk 11:24, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - most of the vandalism looks like it had ended a few hours ago, but before that it had been spread over a few hours, so semi for 24 hours just in case. AlexiusHoratius 17:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Fulton, Mississippi (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

There have been numerous reverted edits, particularly edits from unregistered IP users, during the months of March and April.
Native94080 (talk) 08:41, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for one week for now. Please ask again if it continues after that. SlimVirgin 08:49, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Itawamba County School District (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Itawamba County School District may also need to be protected due to the 2010 Itawamba County School District Prom controversy in Fulton, Mississippi.
Native94080 (talk) 08:48, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AlexiusHoratius 17:35, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Natural born citizen of the United States (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect for a week or two, to stifle an IP who continues to post unsourced material despite multiple warnings not to do so. Discussion on ANI indicates the address could be dynamic, so blocking the IP does not seem optimal. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 07:40, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. SlimVirgin 08:23, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

semi-protect Latest Brexx (WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Brexx targets, both as Intheciaracar (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and multiple anonymous IPs out of 86.96.0.0/16 range. Checkusers are reluctant to block in this range because of substantial collateral damage to the whole United Arab Emirates when they do. Brexx is a long-term, persistent sockpuppeteer, so please install as long of blocks as you can do and still sleep at night. I'd like to see 3 months or more.—Kww(talk) 06:00, 8 April 2010 (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.

Andy Martin (American politician) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotection, The content dispute seems to have quieted down and achieved consensus. Using the phrase "vexatious litigant" was deemed acceptable, despite the negative connotations, due to extensive sourcing and the fact that the label was applied in a legal context by a judge, not just used casually by laymen. Only dissenting voice is the original contributor that wanted it removed; roughly a dozen neutral editors agree that it is his primary claim to notability and belongs in the lede. —ShadowRanger  19:57, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Unprotected by Carnildo. SlimVirgin 07:28, 8 April 2010 (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.
