Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 13:38, 2 January 2009

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

Joseph Stalin (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection dispute, It would appear that Kurzon is taking ownership of the article, and he and Tocino are in an edit war with each other over the article. I've warned them both that they should step back from it for a while, however I think some enforcement of that might be in order. Mikaey (talk) 08:11, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The Helpful One 13:01, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Omar Amanat (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

"Temporary full protection" "vandalism", User Omartruth engaged in edit wars, in violation of the 3 edit rule, using poorly sourced information that is potentially libelous and in violation of NPOV. Article has had lengthy history of discussion with admins RadioKirk and NickBoalch having previously blocked this user as they determined he is using poorly sourced potentially libelous information in violation of NPOV. User was warned by multiple users and most recently by admin Chuckiesdad to stop engaging in edit wars but doesn't listen and is popping up using multiple IP addresses. Also User is asking other editors "are you a retard' using vandalism and misspelling "It is rediculous" and generally hostile and seemingly enaged in a personal vendetta against the subject of the article Mr Amanat J araneo (talk) 04:19, 2 January 2009 (UTC) J araneo

• Fixed request. --aktsu  04:51, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Declined, please raise the problem of the problematic editor at WP:ANI or WP:ANEW. Articles are not protected when the user can be blocked. Regards SoWhy 13:31, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Arcángel (singer) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection dispute and vandalism, IPs constantly replacing origin of artist from Puerto Rico to Dominican Republic. Changing first sentence saying whether or not the artist is of Puerto Rican, American or Dominican descent. Constant vandalism.El cangri386 00:04, 2 January 2009 (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.

Template:Blpdispute (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Fully protected with comment "widely used template, was vandalized once". Used on only 34 articles and while it was indeed vandalized once in over two years, we don't fully protect pages in response to such isolated incidents -- Gurch (talk) 11:38, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Template:ArbComOpenTasks/Subpage (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Don't see why cascading protection has been applied to this page. The only template it uses is {{mbox}}, which is protected anyway, and likely always will be -- Gurch (talk) 18:02, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Unprotection. This policy page was protected after an edit war between me and another user. As a result, there is currently a user RFC on my behavior. On the talk page of that policy, a user has noted being unable to edit the policy. I have asked the admin who initially protected it until the end of January to lift the protection, and was referred here. Me and the other user have both stated on that admin's talkpage {oldid) to not edit Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not at all in January. So I ask that Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not be unprotected. Penwhale also protected the page, so if an admin decides to unprotect, they may want to ask Penwhale first if it's okay with him, or I could ask for here. Thanks. --Pixelface (talk) 04:44, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Unprotected, assuming the good faith that both of you will stay away from it. I have not consulted Penwhale (talk · contribs) on this as the protecting admin was MBisanz (by protection conflict) and Penwhale did not change anything on that, so I assume he was and is okay with MBisanz's decision. Regards SoWhy 13:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Kashmir conflict (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

• Edit war was caused by ontopofcosts (talk · contribs · block log) a sock puppet of the banned Hkelkar (talk · contribs · block log). Now that the sock puppet was blocked by Nishkid64, the article can be unprotected so others can work on it. The other participant is also blocked until January 3rd, so there is no need for protection that also excludes other better0behaved contributors. The protecting admin is also offline.

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.

File:Jenna Miscavige Hill.jpg (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Requesting full protection to prevent further incorrect deletion tagging by a bot, which does not recognize that the image contains information sufficient to establish that it is freely licensed, though no template is available for the case in question. John254 00:15, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Note: - I would suggest contacting the bot owner to see if they can add the image as an exception. I also suggest contacting the image owner to see if they can release it as PD. caknuck _° is geared up for football season 01:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I have requested that Carnildo add this image as an exception to the bot's tagging . However, it may be easier to protect the image than to modify the bot's operations. Additionally, protection would prevent similar incorrect tagging by another bot. Release of the image into the public domain is unlikely, as this would permit the creation of proprietary derivative works, use without attribution, etc, none of which are required for the media to be sufficiently freely licensed for use on Misplaced Pages.

semi-protect. High level of IP vandalism replacing the page with the Uncyclopedia Version. This is also the case with some registered users but has more of a history of IPs doing it. Also protect Fisher Price. Sawblade05 00:27, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Danity Kane (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection IP Vandalism and Beginning user vandalism This page is not intentionally vandalized, but it is. Lots of IP Users and beginning editors alike add false information, information that is not cited, information in the wrong format, etc. Because of the current swirl of buzz affecting Danity Kane and the uncertainty of the next events in their history, IP users use these pages as a place to express their opinion instead of the facts. They use information the believe to be true and information that has not actually been cited. If the page is protected, it might encourage the helpful IP's to get a wikipedia account and learn about wikipedia policy and format. We slowly but surely try to build up correct, cited information about the album but the IP's come and tear it back down. Please help up correct and rebuild this article without IP User interuption.

P.S. It was stated in a trustworthy article that the next album comes out in the summer of 2009. I am asking that the protection last till then. Why? Because at that moment in time, the future of Danity Kane will be certain and true information that can be cited abound. Yes I put this request in for Welcome to the Dollhouse earlier, but I realized that everything I was discribing was about this page. Look at the history and the article it's self.

Semi-protected for two weeks. Tan | 39 22:23, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

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

Semi-Protect. In the news and in the midst of a war, the page is being hit constantly with both POV-pushing, WP:WTA inserts (e.g. "...is a terrorist org") and outright vandalism (e.g. "Hamas is gay"). Tarc (talk) 22:09, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for two weeks. Tan | 39 22:22, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Disney XD (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect untill Feburary, constant IP edits inserting specualtion about the programming. I suggest that the page is protected untill it's launch in Feburary to end the spec edits. Elbutler (talk) 22:03, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for one month. Tan | 39 22:16, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

December 2008 Gaza Strip airstrikes (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotection (move protection only). There is clearly an emerging consensus (esp. between initially disagreeing parties) on the article's talk page for a new article name. Thus, the move protection needs to be removed (the semi-protection can stay in place). -- tariqabjotu 02:47, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

 Administrator note Please inform the protecting admin about this request. Actually, you should have tried contacting the protecting admin before you place this request here (cf. the instructions above). — Aitias // discussion 02:52, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

-- tariqabjotu 02:57, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

This was moved to fulfilled/denied, but it has not been resolved. The protecting admin has been away for days at a time, and, as I said previously, the consensus is obvious. There has been only one objection registered against the name (and that was by an editor who has objected to every name proposal on the basis we should keep waiting, even though everyone wants it moved). This is such an uncontroversial action at this point, I'm tempted to just remove the protection myself. -- tariqabjotu 15:57, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Move protection will expire on 4 January. However if you can point at a discussion where a new title was agreed, I am ready to move the article to this new title. Ruslik (talk) 16:35, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

I did -- in the original request. -- tariqabjotu 16:51, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
