Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 03:01, 1 November 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

I second a protection of the article on this version. — Glebchik (talk) 01:11, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 10 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Chamal and I are both dealing with this (oops), but I (blocked one user), issued 3RR warnings to three others (Hillock65, Glebchik, HenrichB), and full-protected the article for 10 hours. I was going to go longer, but it's obvious most or all of these editors know about 3RR and about ways to handle disputes. Further reverts will result in blocks. tedder (talk) 03:01, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

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

Non-admin comment - That page has been edited all of ten times this month, and might I remind you it is the 31 (Happy Hallowe'en). The disruptive user can be blocked; however, there is very little recent activity. Intelligentsium 22:29, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. JamieS93 23:01, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, The idiots are back and vandalising this article as much as ever. They keep changing the date of birth to make her seem implausibly young or old. They seem to find this inexplicably amusing. It was semi-protected for a few days and that hasn't helped. Maybe a longer period is appropriate this time. DanielRigal (talk) 21:18, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:28, 31 October 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.

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

The deletion log suggests that this page was deleted and protected when it covered a non-notable person. But it's supposed to cover a seasonal river in Italy, the it:Parina. I will make it a stub like it's neighbor, the Stabina. ~YellowFives 13:53, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Unprotected. JamieS93 14:38, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, Jamie. ~YellowFives 15:54, 31 October 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.

User:Chaser/monobook.js (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Please undo the last edit to this page so I can get off wikibreak. I need access to my main account to vote in the audit committee elections. Thanks.--Chaser2 (talk) 01:24, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Done That page isn't protected. I assume the date keeps you from doing ANYTHING, eh? tedder (talk) 07:13, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I will ask you again to try and make a little more sense when filing requests here. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:51, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

(EC, I also would decline) I'm starting to get the impression you're subtly trolling us given the nature of your RFPP requests. First you request unprotection of the user page of a known Jarlaxle target, and then you ask for unprotection of an article whose semi-protection is already being circumvented. Now you're asking for a redirect with nary 15 edits to be protected because there's too many edits?! Go buzz, you're wasting our time! -Jeremy 18:53, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
