Misplaced Pages

Actually, the page was sprotected for a while, sometime after I filed that abuse report. It has been unprotected since, and only vandalized once by the same user. Ryūlóng 11:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

That's alright then. If he seems to have stopped, no worries. If it picks up again, re-add him at Abuse Reporting and We'll try something, but there might not be much we can do, what with there being very few helpers from that area... HawkerTyphoon 20:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protection. Edit war between two anons over a fansite, MapleTip. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 05:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Just so you know administrator, I have stopped as I have requested Third Opinon, but there is a third person vandalizing Maplestory into something like "I like chicken". Instead of semi protecting it, can you settle this dispute in the talk page? Thanks. Mapletip 06:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

The two IPs which are edit warring are 219.75.107.97 and 68.78.148.16. In addition, the page has been repeatedly attacked by another anonymous vandal: 203.45.125.4. Admin: please semi-protect the article, and block all three IPs (if you think it's appropriate to do so). A registered user, Mapletip, is trying to resolve the dispute by seeking a third opinion. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 06:50, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection of Hildanknight's user space.

The conflict on the MapleStory article resulted in my user page getting vandalized. My talk page has also been attacked by a troll rotating IPs.

There's no reason why anonymous users should be allowed to edit my userspace. Due a history of anons abusing their privileges of editing my userspace, I request my entire userspace be semi-protected. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 08:55, 4 September 2006 (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.

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

There was an edit war as rumours of Steve Irwin's death emerged. This death has been confirmed by most news outlets. there has been no significant vandalism since the edit war. I believe this article should be 'unprotected'. I see no reason for protecting it just because it's a current event. PureFire 06:24, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Add Stingray to the list as it is in the same category, even though it is in requests above for full protection, it is the same issue. Pages linked from the main page should not be protected. Ansell 06:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

This page is a major news link on the front page, it has been protected for too long, and vandalism is not occuring anymore. Ansell 08:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Current requests for significant 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.

Reverting to version : http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Advocates_for_Children_in_Therapy&oldid=73600469 would represent the consensus of many previous editors. I would also suggest a poll to that effect and will start that on the talk page. Dr. Becker-Weidman 19:38, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

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

Drishtipat's London branch has been criticised for the composition of it's membership http://www.drishtipat.org/blog/2006/07/27/monica-ali/. The majority of British Bangladeshi's originate from Sylhet Division in Bangladesh and are keenly interested in the human and economic rights in their region. Drishtipat's national Dhaka-centric focus has thus been criticised. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.74.20.118 (talk • contribs) .

Drishtipat is currently semiprotected from editing. If you register an account and wait a few days, you'll be able to edit it. (It's only locked against anonymous and very new editors.) Also, in the future, please format your requests correctly; as it stands, you're requesting an edit to a user talk page that doesn't exist. Zetawoof 05:55, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Unprotection - The edit war was started/created by User:FCYTravis. The original page was the result of many editors and edits, many of whom had very diverse and differing points of view. The article should be subject to editors edits and not held hostage. Dr. Becker-Weidman 19:19, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Hans Henning Atrott (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Reference as it exists it to delete. Instead of that Atrott's webpage http://wwww.geocities.com/christianterror/englishindex.htm is put as reference. I doubt that German newspapers are reliable sources. German newspaper article belongs with the German section of Misplaced Pages. That is also to say to the other existing reference which is in German. German articles have to be content of German Misplaced Pages. The quarrels between Atrott and the former association he guided cannot only be represented only by Atrott's opponents or enemies while concealing Atrott's exposition on that. More over, the trial on A. and the result are reported wrongly. He did not get that sentence! For those changes the webpage is to open, again. The problem is not Atrott but Misplaced Pages co-worker Seewolf. He adds fuel to the fire, e.g. when wording that A. was fired by the association he guided, once.

I'm going to tenatively decline this for now, and not protect. This is due to the general context/circumstances of the page and the fact that protection has caused some contrversy here already. However, I think the users on this page should note that furhter edit waring will almost definately result in full protection and that it is on their heads to avoid casuing such a problem. --Robdurbar 19:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

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

There is a revert war occurring where there are 2 sides, one thinks a block of text should be inserted, the other doesn't. Talking seems to have failed, or the new people who have turned up just plain don't want to talk. Requesting full protection until the matter is solved.-Localzuk 16:49, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Based on the comments on the talk page, there is quite a lot of talking going on between both sides, if page is protected it should retain the sections that were deleted by the above editor and others. I suggest the page not be protected, since the discussion has remained civil, and neither side is acusing the other of vandalism. Nrets 17:37, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Fred Durst needs to be at least semi-protected, and with a recent influx of registered users arguing about the topic, full-protected for the time being. The edit war from both Limp Bizkit and Rapcore that's been threatening to leave the article in the same place took two steps in the wrong direction today with registered users from both those articles stepping in over the order of wording Rapcore and Nu Metal. It has the potential to get really bad; please stop now before it does. -- Stick Fig 15:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
