'''long-term semi-protection''' On 19 October, semi-protection was requested and granted because a large and unencyclopædic block of text copied wholesale from other websites was being repeatedly dumped into this article , , , by an anonymous editor. The same block of text was dumped into the article again , by an anonymous editor, very shortly after the 2-week semi-protection expired. The inappropriate nature of this text has been clearly explained with edit summaries and talk page text. Nevertheless, the unregistered editor carries on reverting, with willful disregard for the explanation of why the text is inappropriate (viz. edit summaries accompanying the text dump). There is no evidence s/he is interested in WP policy regarding wholesale text grabs from other websites. --] 21:31, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    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.

    I am not sure - the article has been semi-protected since 2020, and there is no IP vandalism, at least not since 2020. I do not currently see any need for extended confirmed protection. Ymblanter (talk) 22:45, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

    Sippy Grewal

    Reason: Hello, I would like to request semi-protection for the Misplaced Pages article "" due to recurring issues with vandalism and frequent disruptive edits made by unregistered or inexperienced users. The article has been subject to multiple instances of incorrect information being added or valid content being removed, making it difficult to maintain its accuracy and neutrality. As this article represents a notable individual, I believe that semi-protection will help ensure that the information remains accurate and that only experienced editors are able to make major changes. I will be updating the content with more detailed and reliable information soon, but for now, I kindly request semi-protection to prevent further disruption to the article. Thank you for considering my request. Sippy Grewal (talk) 01:45, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. @Sippy Grewal: Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the policies people have already linked on your user talk page. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 01:54, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

    20th Century Studios

    Reason: Persistent disruptive edits and unsourced change when protection is absent. Previous protection was 6 months, but please consider indefinite semi-protection given the history of disruption and previous protections. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 01:48, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Shortcuts

    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.

    A-League Men records and statistics

    Reason: Protection is too high and it was for sockpuppetry in 2018. It's nearly 2025 now so if it needs protecting just do pending changes or semi-protection but unprotection would be better I think. 147.10.234.99 (talk) 23:19, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

    Pinging protecting admin User:Ponyo, who might or might not wish to have input. I looked at the history of disruption and it looks pretty bad. I'm inclined to give semi protection a shot (this would eliminate 95% of the disruption in page history), but I'd rather hear from the sysop who made the call first. BusterD (talk) 14:24, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
    The LTA sockmaster, who is still very active, creates new accounts, makes the required number of edits to to get auto-confirmed, then by-passes the semi-protection in their pet set of articles, including A-League Men records and statistics. The extended confirmed protection has been very effective against this sockmaster because they always tip their hand before they can reach EC status. No worries with given semi protection a shot BusterD, but it will likely have to be bumped up again in short order.-- Ponyo 18:09, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
    I appreciate your view of the situation long term. BusterD (talk) 23:30, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
    Not done This is why institutional memory is so important to Misplaced Pages. I have every reason to believe Ponyo is correct, since they've experienced these misbehaviors over a long stretch. I'm declining to change the protection level, based on my reading of the page history and Ponyo's working approach. BusterD (talk) 23:37, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

    Lil Dicky

    Reason: Lil Dicky was semi-protected back in 2019. Now that five years have passed, could the semi-protection be lifted? 174.93.89.27 (talk) 19:19, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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 Shortcut

    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.

    User talk:Soetermans

    Alicia Silverstone - news reporter/villainess Heather Jasper Howe in Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed in 2004.

    In yes way is that a notable enough role to be mentioned in the lead. To me. 86.130.33.243 (talk) 21:49, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

    This is something better discussed on Talk:Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, not necessarily with Soetermans. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v 22:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
    You have been asked to use talk pages. This is starting to feel like harassment. soetermans. 22:34, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
