Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 02:37, 2 August 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

Declined Not vandalism, a content dispute. You were turned down at AIV, don't use this board to continue your accusations of vandalism. Acroterion _(talk) 02:37, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary full protection vandalism, Several amounts of vandalism (all of the registered user edits are reverts torward IP edits). GunMetal Angel 02:31, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

semi-protection user talk of blocked user, Re-Requesting, Talk page abuse, see here. Momo san 01:28, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

User talk:124.158.32.204 (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

semi-protection user talk of blocked user, Suspected sockpuppet IP which has been reblocked and should not be able to edit the talk page while blocked. See talk page history. Momo san 23:29, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Declined Ask the blocking admin, and please, don't poke at the sock, okay? It just encourages them and causes more work for all of us. tedder (talk) 23:41, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I took your advice and only left the block notice on the page. Momo san 23:54, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

User:Jeffrey Mall/Awards (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection My awards page has just had its first case of vandalism and to prevent further disruption I'd like to have it semi-protected if possible. Thanks. Jeff M | Talk2Me | BNosey - 23:22, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. tedder (talk) 23:38, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary full protection dispute, A couple of the users seem to be edit-warring over this, to the point of accusations of bad-faith. I'm not involved though the page does seem to have issues. Irbisgreif (talk) 22:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Eesh. What a mess. I protected it for a very long amount of time and posted to the talk page explaining why. Hopefully fully protecting an article will save a few editors from being blocked. tedder (talk) 23:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, ongoing vandalism again, including every day since the 28th. Andrewlp1991 (talk) 22:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. tedder (talk) 23:22, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection vandalism. Happy138 has continually removed news article references and quotes regarding Mordechai Willig's cover-up of a child abuser for over 20 years. Happy138 is clearly a follower or student of Rabbi Willig, as can be seen from the language on his profile page and his comments. Rabbi Willigs cover-up is factually backed by news articles, it is how he is mostly known outside of his community, and it deserves to be mentioned in the primary paragraph. It is obviously critical that this information remain publicly available so parents will know not to approach Rabbi Willig's beit din (Jewish court) when their children are being abused. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.68.132.218 (talk • contribs)

this anon user's claims have been brought up in the past and are already mentioned in the article. He is attacking me personally without base, and has caused someone to erroneously warn me on my talk page. There is no reason to emphasize the facts already mentioned in the article. He is the one engaging in an edit war, without any discussion in the talk page as I have done. Please protect the page and block this user. Thanks, Happy138 (talk) 22:54, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Please also revert to the previous version. I don't want to be part of this edit war. thanks, Happy138 (talk) 22:59, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Blocked 74.68.132.218 for WP:3RR. tedder (talk) 23:19, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protection vandalism. Anonymous IPs keep inserting sales figures without providing sources. I began to keep an eye on this page just a few days ago, and I haven't been able to keep unsourced figures off the page.--Harout72 (talk) 20:07, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. tedder (talk) 23:15, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

D. Jeffrey Wright (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

SemiProtection vandalism, I took a lot of time to write this article and know the subject, its the only living bio article I did when I was in the university, it is unfair that because of his work people try to destroy his accomplishments and the work I have posted, please help prevent people from vandalizing it and attacking this gentleman's biography. Ingenosa (talk) 16:24, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. JForget 23:50, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits) 12:57, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Additionally, please use the talk page to communicate what the problems are- if an IP went there, it hasn't been updated in a long time. tedder (talk) 23:54, 1 August 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.

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

Unprotection, We got a request at articles for creation to create this article. The submitted request seems suitable for Misplaced Pages, is notable (per his award win), and is verifiable. I request that the create-protection on the page be removed. GrooveDog (talk) 17:10, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Unprotected As you wish! Thanks for helping in this, GrooveDog. tedder (talk) 23:43, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

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.

Raidió Teilifís Éireann (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Plenty of IP vandalism. Was nominated for deletion by IP.  Cargoking  talk  13:55, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

The deletion nomination was fake, put there by an anonymous group using open proxy IP's and have since been blocked. Momo san 14:06, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 17:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. tedder (talk) 12:47, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Full protection The only edits made here for at least the last month have been vandalism with a single purpose--someone with a personal agenda is using numerous accounts to make off-topic attacks on the subject's son. JNW (talk) 11:43, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Looks like full protection isn't necessary, IP editors. tedder (talk) 12:44, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Unprotection, Well, I'm pretty sure this will never get its own Misplaced Pages article on its own, I think this should at least be a protected redirect to "Mashup (video)". It is a relevant redirect though. ViperSnake151  Talk  02:46, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Question: What does Youtube Poop have to do with Mashup (video)? tedder (talk) 04:37, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Comment - Youtube Poops are usually mashups made from various audio and video sources, mostly from CD-i games like Hotel Mario. It does qualify as such since it is obviously a remix derived from a notable work. Blake Gripling (talk) 04:49, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Can you find at least a semi-reliable source for the term? If so, the redirect makes sense. Otherwise, there's no context on Mashup (video) for such a redirect. In other words, it'd be no different than having Youtube Clay Pigeon Comes Alive redirect to Mashup (video). Does that make sense? (not sure I'm explaining it well) tedder (talk) 05:07, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I concur. Enigma 22:07, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Done – I couldn't find reliable sources, but everything (e.g. Urban Dictionary, video sites) suggests that it is a type of mashup. Since a redirect is merely a navigational tool, it is only necessary to have sources that support the notion that people know about the term. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:05, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Was about to request protection. A full-protected redirect is the way to go. King, I see you did it, although salting would be protecting a deleted page, as I'm sure you know. :) Enigma 19:02, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I invoke WP:IAR in my summaries, OK? Since there's no better word to describe it. ;-) King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:04, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Ricky Underwood

Unprotection - I'd like to start the article but it is currently protected. I am requesting that it be unprotected so I can start a proper article for the character, like all the others. — Nk3play2 (talk) 02:09, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I left a note for protecting admin. Curious, why doesn't the List of... article have character summaries? –xeno 18:17, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Protecting admin would like to see a sandbox version of the article you want to create; see User talk:RHaworth#WP:RFUP.... –xeno 19:14, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Not unprotected – Please create a sourced version of this article in a subpage or your userspace. When this is done, please make the request again, or ask any administrator to move the page for you. tedder (talk) 21:02, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Template:Internet Marketing

Unprotection - Protected for more than one year already. Thanks. Boated idea s (talk) 04:31, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Not unprotected -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:35, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Ricky Underwood Re-requested

Unprotection - I've requested unprotection of the page already. But, the administrators wanted to see a sandbox version of the article first. I put it in my user space. This is link to my user sandbox Ricky Underwood test. Please consider unprotecting the file so I can start the proper article. — Nk3play2 (talk) 03:18, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Harry's Place (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection dispute, article is attacked on a weekly or greater basis by blatant POV pushers. WuhWuzDat 22:09, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Encourage one troubled editor into discussion on talk pages, and if they continue to disrupt after last warning report to WP:AIV to be blocked. Nja 09:03, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

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

semi-protection, Currently there is an edit war brewing. It's being perpetrated by an increasing number of sock/meat puppets (most probably King himself). The intent seems to be about removing anything negative, or at least reducing the affect of said 'negative' factoids. WebHamster 17:27, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Already protected. Nja 09:05, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Look at the edit history, this page needs to be protected for a while. Qajar (talk) 04:54, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Declined IP has been blocked for edit warring, so protection shouldn't be needed now. Prodego 04:57, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
