Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 04:19, 29 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

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

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – A discussion was opened re the number of images, based on MOS. Per the reasons given, the number was reduced and it looked like consensus was going to be achieved. Based on a non-MOS rationale, 7 images were re-added. Please protect article with limited number of images. – S. Rich (talk) 04:19, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

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

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – IP editor keeps adding a fan site link to External Links. I have reverted this three times with the notation WP:LINKSTOAVOID #11, but the editor has chosen to ignore this and simply continue adding the link. This is the external link. Aside from the violation of WP:LINKSTOAVOID, the site title and content likely violates trademarks and copyrights; anyone who visits it might think it is the official site of the intellectual property owners of Studebaker and Avanti.

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

Create protection: Repeatedly recreated. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:58, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) I only see two recreations and every time there is at least 4 months between them. Armbrust 02:00, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Page was recently deleted per CSD. ///EuroCarGT 02:08, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) That's true, but the last creation before that was in May 2013. Armbrust 02:45, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) At least two of three versions of the article were created by the same user who is also a rather persistent sockpuppeteer. It may very well be another few months before he creates the article again, but he will do it, of that I'm sure. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:56, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection High-visibility article, more so than most semi-protected pages. Threats of vandalism made on football forums. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.7.58.81 (talk • contribs)

(Non-administrator comment) It hasn't been vandalized in a year. Can you give a link about the threats, just to check if it is potentially a target (Right now there is no reason to protect per the WP:PP policy. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 00:03, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

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

Full protection: High level edit-warring over content dispute. The article just came out of full protection recently. Might need a longer one until dispute is resolved over talk page. Proudbolsahye (talk) 22:15, 28 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.

Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotection: Protecting admin. currently retired since 2011. Article rarely edited recently. I'm sure that the topic is no longer too sensitive or controversial and will not be treated hostily by unregistered and new editors. If in doubt, "pending changes"?. George Ho (talk) 15:24, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

• The protecting admin changed usernames from what I can tell, though is no longer an admin. I'd be inclined to give unprotection a shot if they don't object, though I'm not too sure unprotecting will work. I'll drop them a note. Monty₈₄₅ 15:29, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

• In other words, PC is too much? --George Ho (talk) 15:35, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

I'm not really opposed to PC for it, but its been so long on that one, that it seems reasonable to try removing it entirely. But again, want to give the editor who protected it a chance to comment. Monty₈₄₅ 15:45, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

I think it's okay to give unprotection a try, but in my experience be ready to protect again as these centuries long ethnic disputes never go away. PumpkinSky talk 19:35, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Because You Left (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotection: Protecting admin. is currently retired. Lost is cancelled, and no vandalism occured for two years for this episode. "Pending changes" perhaps?. George Ho (talk) 15:17, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

I am going to try PC for a few months on this one, the lost series has sufficient ongoing popularity that it seems best to go slower with it. If there aren't problems for the next 3 months, PC will just expire. Monty₈₄₅ 15:41, 28 September 2013 (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.
