:{{RFPP|n}} I've been active on this article, so I will not protect it myself, but I believe declining this request simply at the sight of the word "pre-emptive" is a bit short sighted. Please see comments below. - ] ] 22:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

====Request for review====
::'''Response''' - this article just came out of full protection for four days to stop a disruptive editor who continually makes changes without consensus. Previous version was decided upon by consensus, and discussion on the talk page shows a consensus to stick with the stable version previously decided (by RFC a year ago) until a new consensus is formed. This is not a pre-emptive measure as much as it is protection from disruptive edits. Given that the last RFPP was granted, and the same editor who caused the problem the last time has started with the same behavior, I don't see how this is any less valid than the last (unless you're basing it solely on the language used by the requestor, which didn't clearly describe the situation). Thanks. /] <small>( ] / ] )</small> 21:49, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

::'''Response''' - Seconded. This is not pre-emptive, this is post-disruption. Disruption from the same editor who started the edit war in the first place - who continues the war after the page got unprotected. ]<sup>]</sup> 21:56, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

::'''Comment''' - I'd like to see this page protected as well, or a block placed on {{user|Jsn9333}} as a disruptive SPA. Jsn9333 is the only editor actively reverting to his version, while all others (including the few who support Jsn's version) continue discussion on the talk page. Seeing how the edits since un-protection are simply a continuation of the previous edit war, protection would be extremely beneficial in requiring discussion without allowing one editor to continue to force one version into the article. - ] ] 22:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

===={{lat|Shamrock, Texas}}====
'''indefinite full protection''' ''Vandalism'', This article was put on a multi-week page protection after several anonymous IPs continue vandalizing the page trying to make it an attack piece against the city, while also keeping a running vitrol on the talk page (now archived to ]. The protection was lifted on the 11th, and two days later the anon user was back with a new IP beginning his campaign again. While he has stuck to only making attacks on the talk page, I am concerned he will eventually begin attacking the article again, and that his continuing disruptions on the talk page will discourage anyone from trying to edit this article. This person, and the other anon IP which attacked the article before, have shown that they have a very strong biased against this city, and will continue these actions by constantly changing IP. I feel it is in the article's best interest to continue its semi-protection status for a longer period of time and extend it to both the article ] and its talk page, up to being indefinite. ] (]) 18:40, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:{{RFPP|nea}} (to both article and talk page). A rangeblock on the IP (216.167.133.*) would resolve the matter if it continues. ] (]) 19:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Our disagreement with Collectonian is in that it seems to be "OK" for the city official to post unsubstantiated "evidence" (linking to non-existent information that "looks" official but leads nowhere) while our posts that are linked to sbstantiating court documents are deleted as soon as they appear. Something is "not right" about this practice--] (]) 23:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

:How many more places are you going to post this at? You're at what, five different pages so far? You didn't link to "substantiating court documents" you linked to the attack website y'all created. Beyond that, the post was left because it went unnoticed. I only looked at it carefully after your post and then removed them both after first removing your usual vitrol filled stuff. That IP had never posted to the page before. You, meanwhile, had a history of vandalism, slander, and personally attacking multiple editors, so yours was removed quickly while the other was checked. After confirming that none of it belongs here, it was removed. Misplaced Pages is not your personal forum to slam Shamrock. Do it on your talk page or through your radio station. Take your private arguments back where they came from. They do not belong in an article talk page at all. (and none of this really belongs here either) ] (]) 00:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

'''Full protection''' - this article is being constantly reverted by {{User|Itihaaskar}} - a new edit war has started and he won't stop. Without discussing properly, he keeps reverting it to his version. The article was already protected once because of his reversions and subsequent edit warring, and the user was blocked twice for sockpuppeting. Now, after one month or so of peace, he comes back and restores his own version of a particularly controversial section in the article. Please protect. ] • <sup>'']''</sup> 13:35, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

::I will definitely do that and ask Blg. But he was blocked for sockpuppeting, not edit warring. Once he is back today, he will surely revert to his own version, a version which is incohorent, full of errors, POV. I had copyedited this version (see my long analysis on the talk page), neutrlised it, but he came back and started reverting again, despite being aware of two other editors who agree with me.

    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.

    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.

    Lil Dicky

    Reason: Lil Dicky was semi-protected back in 2019. Now that five years have passed, could the semi-protection be lifted? I asked the protecting administrator and received no response. 174.93.89.27 (talk) 00:25, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Adding a little contextual info, this same request was declined 8 hrs before this by ToBeFree. IP did contact Protecting admin (Materialscientist on Dec 22) before the first request, but Materialscientist has not replied to that, and has replied to a different discussion just below that one since then (on Dec 24).

    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.
