Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 14:31, 26 March 2008

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

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

Temporary full protection - Edit warring among established editors that has been going on unabated for weeks. Last time full protection was tried for a week and there was little discussion, perhaps a longer period this time? --Bobblehead 14:31, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

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

Indiana Wesleyan University (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

semi-protect. High level of IP vandalism. -- JT 13:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Israeli-Palestinian conflict (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Full Protection. Just became unprotected on the 24/3, however User:Jaakobou has initiated another edit war, resulting in multiple reverts. It should be noted that this user just came off a ban from editing articles on the subject. Unfortunately, I don't think this article can be unblocked until all significant disputes have been resolved on the talk page, and an administrator makes the final edit before unblocking the page. Furthermore, I think more administrative oversight is required. Suicup (talk) 13:25, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

The Apprentice (UK Series Four) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Rudget. 13:18, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

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

Full protection. Attempts (two so far in two days) are being made to insert blatantly private information about her family. If declined, watchlisting by admins would also be appreciated. Andjam (talk) 10:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I am going to watchlist this though and would refer you to oversight to clear out patently bad information. Stifle (talk) 12:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

For the sake of clarification, I have successfully requested oversight twice for this article in two days. Andjam (talk) 12:31, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Religious violence in India (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Full protection High level of POV pushing & two editors User:Desione & User:Anupamsr are intentionally adding biased pov-fork taken from other articles. It is completely against consensus and disrupting other editors. Please see the talk page for more evidences i.e they are editing against consensus, standing nearby 3RR. Thanks. --Tomb of the Unknown Warrior tomb 09:09, 26 March 2008 (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.

The Tom Fun Orchestra (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The reason this page should be unprotected is because it is a prime example of Cape Breton Culture and Heritage. There are other various bands that are a part of the Cultural Music Influences from the East Coast. This musical arrangement is a great example of Heritage.

Declined This page was protected from recreation due to copyright issues. If you really are interested in creating this article, feel free to create it in your userspace, on a subpage first. - Rjd0060 (talk) 14:54, 25 March 2008 (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.
