Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 01:55, 11 September 2013

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

Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Objectivism (Ayn Rand) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – As with Ayn Rand, the description of Rand has been going through a series of reverts. Dispute is largely about whether Rand should be described as an "amateur" philosopher. Two registered editors and one IP are involved. Remarks in edit summaries have included "vandalism" and uncivil usertalkpage messages have ensued. The Ayn Rand article is under PP at present. Once that issue is resolved, this one should reflect the same language. – S. Rich (talk) 01:55, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: Unsourced disruptive edits due to album being released today, sure to be persistent over the next couple days as it has already been. STATic message me! 01:53, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Users claim they want to fix "incomplete" information but end up removing various sources as well as random words, leaving incomplete sentences as a result. Tom Danson (talk) 01:35, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection: Ongoing, steady stream of IP vandalism. Almost every single edit in the last year has been vandalism and reverting of vandalism. Uyvsdi (talk) 01:03, 11 September 2013 (UTC)Uyvsdi

Semi-protected for a period of 1 Year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Monty₈₄₅ 01:14, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Self Made Vol. 3 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism and unsourced additions. STATic message me! 00:25, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mark Arsten (talk) 00:32, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Sword Art Online (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Some IPs keep changing "Japanese" to "American" or "anime" to "pornography". Not sure if a range-block will be effective in this case. Probably a good idea to lock it for a week or so, or at the very least pending changes-protect it. Narutolovehinata5 00:23, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mark Arsten (talk) 00:31, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP users removing tags. Mayast (talk) 00:13, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Not done Now deleted. Mark Arsten (talk) 00:30, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Chorlton-cum-Hardy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – I'm not going to bother with warnings because I know they'll do no good. Protect and force discussion please. Onorem (talk) 00:09, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Declined It looks like warnings have been given, so proceeding to WP:AN3 might be the best idea if reverting continues. Mark Arsten (talk) 00:34, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for nothing. 'Special' editors don't worry about AN3. --Onorem (talk) 00:48, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

If you'd like, feel free to ask for a second opinion here from another admin. Mark Arsten (talk) 00:54, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

That sounds productive. I'll do that. /rolleyes. --Onorem (talk) 00:59, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

And now it is Fully protected for three days by User:Nikkimaria. Mark Arsten (talk) 01:27, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

List of bus routes in Kolkata (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent adding of links to disambiguation pages due to removal of correct disambiguators on red links. IP's never responded on requests to stop with that. The Banner talk 23:49, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Declined I'm hesitant to protect if the edits are otherwise constructive. Mark Arsten (talk) 00:37, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Friday the 13th (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Asking for five days or so semi-protection on this article. Every Friday the Thirteenth (starting just before and continuing a day or so), this article is the the target of relentless vandalism; see, for example Friday, Jan 13, 2012; Friday, April 13, 2012 Friday, July 13, 2012. Usually, it ends up getting semi-protected after the wave of attacks begins (see the log and note how many semiprotects are on or about the thirteenth; those are Fridays the thirteenth), but in the meantime, good-faith editors step on each other's undo operations, reversions, and legitimate edits. Friday the thirteenth is two days from now; it would be great if we could semi-protect it for the interim to avoid this. Five days or so should do it. TJRC (talk) 23:47, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mark Arsten (talk) 00:38, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:List of people with the longest marriages (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent reversion, by multiple IPs, of archiving which removes a large amount of unnecessary/redundant threads. DerbyCountyinNZ 22:35, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of four days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mark Arsten (talk) 00:00, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

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

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Content dispute.. please protect until resolved. JMHamo (talk) 21:20, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 48 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. ItsZippy 22:12, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent removal of talk page material without explanation or justification by IP despite warnings that this is against policy. IP makes other non-vandalistic edit so protection seems more appropriate than blocking. DerbyCountyinNZ 20:45, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Already protected. Did you mean to report a different page? Mark Arsten (talk) 20:51, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

My apologies, it is the talk page that needs protection. DerbyCountyinNZ 22:32, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I gave it a week's protection. Mark Arsten (talk) 23:57, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. -- L o g X 19:44, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. KrakatoaKatie 20:37, 10 September 2013 (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 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.
