Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:57, 1 February 2014

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

Indefinite semi-protection instead of pending changes to match current protection on related article Dan Howell. The ongoing stream of original research and vandalism is similar on both articles. Constructive edits are few and can be handled easily through edit requests. With PC, it's just endless nonsense to deal with. Rivertorch (talk) 21:20, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

James R. Fouts (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection Long simmering, disputed, controversial BLP with multiple slanderous and libelous edits often done by new accounts, suspected sockpuppets, or random IP addresses.

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – There appears to be a not-so-pretty edit war going on here involving multiple editors. There is a discussion going on, on the talk page, but it doesn't seem to be stopping the back and forth reverts. 24 hours of full protection should help calm things down while the discussion continues.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism

User talk:X96lee15 (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Banned user Wiki-star's sockpuppets harassing X96lee15 and myself by posting on his talk page. —Ryūlóng (琉竜) 18:09, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

• Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection was recently made for this page, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot I _Online 18:14, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Again, I do not wish my talk page to be protected. This is the second time Ryulong has requested it. Nobody is harassing me. Please withdraw this request. I will take care of moderating my talk page. — X96lee15 (talk) 19:48, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

No. Your talk page is an epicenter for the activities of a banned user and that means it should be protected, whether or not you feel you are being victimized or not, because I certainly am being victimized by his constant posts there.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 20:11, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Please leave me out of your drama. — X96lee15 (talk) 21:07, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

It's a bit late for that considering he keeps going to your user talk page and posting bullshit. It's not going to negatively affect your ability to receive messages. No one contacts you anyway.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:02, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Ryulong, what part of "it is wrong to request semi-protection of another user's talkpage when they do not want said protection" do you not understand? Ever heard of "don't feed the trolls"? Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 22:09, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

The prevention of edits by a banned user should outweigh one person's misplaced desire to allow disruption to happen.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:13, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Ryulong, I cannot take your arguments seriously when you're always swearing. I don't want to have any more interaction with you. Please ignore any posts on my talk page. You're escalating this entire situation. — X96lee15 (talk) 22:15, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately, that cannot be done so long as this banned user, who has been banned for nearly 8 years, is still coming back and now using your user talk page as a way to harass other users.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:18, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

American Horror Story: Coven (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Multiple IP's continuously insist on moving members of the recurring cast to the main cast. Been a consistent problem all season and for some reason, it's picking up even more now. (examples: ) Gloss • talk 18:54, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

What's the difference, and how is it vandalism? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:25, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

The main cast should only consist of the people featured in the opening credits (so in this case, Sarah Paulson, Taissa Farmiga, Frances Conroy, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Emma Roberts, Denis O'Hare, Kathy Bates, and Jessica Lange) but other cast members, who appear in almost every episode (Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe) are not technically main cast as they aren't featured in the opener. I've re-worded the note above the main cast clarifying this, we'll see if the issue persists. Corvoe (speak to me) 17:25, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

• 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.

Celtic F.C. (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Reduce to Pending Changes. Article is protected indefinitely due to a clear and longstanding history of vandalism. It is my view that the number of edits to this article are low enough that there is no reason that article protection shouldn't or couldn't be dealt with if was downgraded to allow ip's to possibly edit by using pending changes. I would hope admins would be willing to look on this favourably.Blethering Scot 7:18 pm, Today (UTC+0)

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.
