Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 13:32, 8 July 2010

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

Hell's_Kitchen_(U.S._season_7) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection This article has recently been the subject of IP editor changes back and forth about the content of the recently broadcast episode. No discussion on the talk page has occured and the substantive changes have been to add or take out a line about progressing to the "Top" group.Hasteur (talk) 13:20, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. SlimVirgin 13:31, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

League of Legends (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection This article is getting constant affiliate link spam edits. This article has received semi-protection in the past for the same reason, but the issue has returned now that the protection has ended. -- Ruzihm 13:09, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. SlimVirgin 13:28, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

2010 Commonwealth Games (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection This article is receiving IP vandalism on seemingly a daily basis from multiple editors. I believe this is something that is only going to worsen as the games opening approaches and remain popular as always with the nationalist Indian/Pakistani crowd. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits) 11:34, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. SlimVirgin 11:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protection Nearly all of the recent pending changes have been vandalism.--♦IanMacM♦ 09:00, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected. Restored indefinite. SlimVirgin 09:18, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I *think* that's the first of my pending changes protection that been undone. I was just about to do it myself, so that's a good one. GedUK  09:20, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I should have let you do the honours. :) SlimVirgin 09:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Vegetarianism and religion (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection dispute, Dispute and edit warring. Arjun 07:46, 8 July 2010 (UT

• Declined We don't protect pages for a content dispute when it is practical to end the dispute by blocking the edit-warriors. Also be advised that we tend to look darkly on editors who make their third revert then dash to RFPP asking for full protection. I will watchlist the page and warn the relevant editors. CIreland (talk) 09:18, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

The Last Airbender (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect. Just released film and high level of IP vandalism. Also reverting of agreed consensus from talk page. Betty Logan (talk) 07:53, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. GedUK  09:16, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

List of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit characters (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Recent edit warring over speculation regarding a new character on the show. IP continues adding WP:OR even after warnings. Redfarmer (talk) 04:07, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Declined for now. It seems to have stopped, so I'll leave the IP a note to ask that it not start up again. If it does please ask here again. SlimVirgin 06:34, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Crocodile Tears (novel) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

List of Mario series characters (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, It has been vandalized quite a bit recently. It was vandalized again after initial decline. JDDJS (talk) 17:40, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. SlimVirgin 06:32, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

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

Indefinite full protection Merge notice for Serbian and Croatian grammar had been up for months, and notice given twice at WProject:Languages, with no objections apart from one editor who changed his mind (for merge) after reviewing past several months of improvements of target article. Redirected article would be a WP:Content fork of target if redirect is reverted. One editor just reverted, and his comments indicate he is likely to continue to do so. Nationalism at play here. (I didn't think to protect it when I merged it.) No reason for redirect to be edited unless target is moved. — kwami (talk) 03:36, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Question: Is there a discussion somewhere with a clear consensus to merge the articles? SlimVirgin 06:28, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

At Talk:Serbian and Croatian grammar, where the move notice at Croatian grammar (and also Serbian grammar) directed readers. Lack of comment here and here. Also lack of objections at Talk:Serbo-Croatian_phonology, which was the first part of the grammars to be merged. There was scattered discussions elsewhere, but I can't locate them now. — kwami (talk) 07:40, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Kwami, please do NOT insult. Your ignorance regarding Croatian language is huge, and I really dislike that real world facts are discarded with superfluous and derogatory remarks. SpeedyGonsales (talk) 13:32, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation‎ (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect. Article has been the target of the Philippine TV vandal for the past few days. Vandal uses different IP addresses to edit this article. -WayKurat (talk) 03:11, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. SlimVirgin 06:30, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

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

Pending-changes protection. The article is frequently targeted for vandalism by IP addresses and newly-registered accounts, especially the sock-puppet accounts of indefinitely banned members (for ex. here).Ariana (talk) 11:40, 8 July 2010 (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.

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

Seems to have been protected from re-creation after various episodes in 2007. Appears in Misplaced Pages:Most_wanted_articles#Possibly_unwanted_articles. I've found reliable-looking obituary at http://www.indianexpress.com/news/actorproducer-sujit-kumar-dead/576300/ . imdb shows 162 films as actor. It looks like time to create the article. PamD (talk) 08:40, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Unprotected The Sujit Kumar in most of the deleted edits was the boy locked up for most of his life (there was a documentary on it the other day). However, we can sort out disambiguation later if necessary. GedUK  08:58, 8 July 2010 (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.

Put-in-Bay, Ohio (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection. Ongoing insertion of advert content for several months, escalating in recent weeks. See this edit for solicitation of additional meatpuppets for forcing the advert content. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:31, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for two weeks, but I see this as a borderline content dispute. I don't see adding the names of the ferry operators as spam if they can be reliably sourced, because it's arguably useful information. I added protection because I see lots of established editors reverting IPs—and the IPs seem to be organizing to keep adding the material—so I want to give the former the benefit of the doubt. But I also hope you'll engage with the anons on the talk page and try to reach an agreement. SlimVirgin 01:18, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection dispute, Requesting temporary semi-protection of the page as a user is editing from an IP range that a recently indefinitely blocked editor has edited from. It appears that this anon has similar MOs and interests of the recently blocked user. Please see this SPI case for more information. Vedant (talk) 18:08, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Declined for now. It seems to have settled down and there are very few recent edits. Also the particular edit isn't really problematic. Please ask again if it continues. SlimVirgin 01:25, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
