'''unprotection''' , An administrator recently moved this page after move protection was placed on it because he deemed the dispute to have consensus.

], if you review his edits on this (and many other pages) is systematically working his POV across many American Civil War topics on slavery, slavery issues, etc. In fact, he seems obsessed on the topic, to the detriment of normative and appropirate level of detail for articles, pasting strange off-the-wall obscure quotes, which are not even properly formatted. On this page, as a member of both the Civil War and Virginia task forces, I have justs started to work on framing and reorganizing the article and bringing it up to another level. This user lapses into meaningless and trivial edit-wars, often working with another user partner (that could possibly be the same person). Please lock this page at my last edit which deleted much of the extraneous material put on here by North Shoreman, and leave it locked for a couple of days or so, just to cool this fellow off.

History must record deeds accurately as they were, and not as re-lived through the fantasies of the dishonorable few among the victors, who defy the terms of Grant.” Of course, “the dishonorable few” that Ghost disagrees with on the Virginia page are material he deleted sourced to Pulitzer Prize winning historian James McPherson and Bancroft Prize winning historian Edward Ayers. ] (]) 13:41, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I believe that this page was improperly protected, as ] was involved in a dispute over fair use rationales in the image and protected the image only after his version of the fair use rationales was created. If the image was to be protected, it should have been protected in the state it was in before the discussion began.

Another user involved in the discussion ], but the admin refused, instead redirecting the request here.

The discussion that led to the protection was ], and a comment by ] under the subheading "Feel free to revert" specifically caused the protecting admin to suspect that an edit war was imminent. I saw nothing in the conversation to justify that belief.

My intent is to restore the fair use rationales for full-service stations only, and only those with significant history, and to use the image in those stations' articles, as ] stations do not employ their own logo, but rather use the network logo for identification.

Several administrators have participated in the discussion, and therefore, should refrain from ruling in this request. Their positions taken are identified as '''pro''': favoring deletion of FURs, '''con''': opposed to deletion of FURs, and '''dnd''': did not declare a position.

    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.

    Anyma

    Reason: Persistent changes made by unregistered user who has been unresponsive both to edit summary comments and talk page message. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 12:40, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked: 2806:370:3159:B38:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for a week. Daniel Case (talk) 23:23, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
    @Daniel Case, unfortunately, the "user" has simply switched to using a different IP, and the problem has persisted. I think the page needs protection. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 00:39, 5 January 2025 (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.

    Shortcuts

    Generation Beta

    Reason: Article was EC-protected to prevent recreation. Per this edit summary, the protection can be lifted now so more editors can work on it. Some1 (talk) 22:27, 3 January 2025 (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.

    Gaza genocide

    Genocide Watch states that: „A genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel is underway in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister General Yoav Gallant have demonstrated their intent to destroy a substantial portion of the civilian population of Gaza. Israel is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza. It is also committing crimes against humanity against Palestinians in the West Bank.” See https://www.genocidewatch.com/single-post/genocide-emergency-gaza-and-the-west-bank-2024 This information should be added to first paragraph of Gaza_genocide#NGOs_and_intergovernmental_organisations Jakub Onderka (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

    Jason Momoa

    could do with supergirl woman of tomorrow being removed because while it is true that he is cast in the film, rules on wikipedia state that films and shows are not to be included until they at least start filming. thank you 2.98.147.186 (talk) 02:55, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
