Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 04:28, 3 June 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

temporary semi-protection Vandalism, The Wings are in the late stages of the Stanley Cup Finals and are receiving lots of attention..TheMile (talk) 03:33, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Declined - Although IP vandalism is high, the amount of good IP edits is even higher, so we shouldn't prevent them from editing. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:12, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

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

semi-protect. High level of IP vandalism resulting in the pages deletion. See: ] , ] , ] , ]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Only one user is vandalizing as far as I can see, and he's stopped. If he shows up again, warn (if you haven't been doing so already) and report to WP:AIV. -Jéské 03:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

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

Semi protection. Two IP's seem to be having a hard time discussing an issue with the article, and I feel that they should take a break, whether forced or on their own, to discuss what needs to be done with the article. I have left a 3RR note on the respectable pages, and would appreciate the temporary semi protection. Dusti 03:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. · AndonicO 03:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

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

Indefinite full-move protection for my user talk page please. It was recently moved by a Grawp sock, and I'd like full-move protection. I prefer not to protect my own pages, and would appreciate another admin doing it for me. Thank you. Acalamari 02:13, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

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

indefinite move-protection , Suggest indefinite sysop-only page-move protection due to page move vandalism. No need to move this article so protection should not be a problem here. Also on top of that after the fact temporary semi-protection would be a good idea after that is done. Thank you..Cirt (talk) 01:57, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Done · AndonicO 01:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh well I had actually requested for the move-protect to be for sysops only - hopefully the autoconfirmed level will be okay for the time being. Cirt (talk) 02:01, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Autoconfirm would have covered the past two moves (only two moves in the past five hundred edits), so I think it should be enough. · AndonicO 02:05, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah okay thanks for looking into it. Cirt (talk) 02:09, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

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

indefinite create-protection , I wish that this page be marked for protection because it is an article in the works. The article lists species of bamboo, and since there are well over 1000 species, it may take a while. Until the article is completed I say it should be marked for protection..Remilo (talk) 01:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

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

Full protection. Article has been hijacked a few times during the past days by Thomassampson (talk · contribs) and/or 77.96.94.222 (talk · contribs). It's more than likely it'll happen again.  Channel ®   00:02, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

indefinite semi-protection Vandalism, STILL lots of anonymous vandalism, this really needs to be protected, this is like my 5th time submitting this page and each time it has been declined protection even though tons of anonymous IP users seem they like to vandalise the page.- - | 23:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

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

Full protection to article short term. Disputants need to stop reverting and discuss changes. Also to document them. I will try to provide discussion format. May wind up in mediation anyway, but we need to start somewhere and disputants have shown that they are capable of dialoging. They just aren't doing enough of it nor focused over the past week or so. Student7 (talk) 23:02, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Note: I've given them each a 3RR warning; since it's early in the edit war, I'm unwilling to protect the page. · AndonicO 01:53, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Oops... "early in the edit war" is quite incorrect; I've protected it for four weeks. · AndonicO 01:54, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Dragon Ball Online (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

semi protection. Over the last three months the article has been repeatedly vandalized by anonymous users. Of the 50 most recent edits, 13 (26%) are vandalism reverts alone, with even more being attributed to actual vandals (approx. 35-40%) which may or may not be repeat offenders.

Template:Infobox TV channel (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

full protection High-visible template, Editor continues making attempts to expand and redo the template, without discussion or consensus. Notes left on his talk page being ignored. Due to this high visibility of this template, and its wide ranging usage, requesting that it be full protected to prevent problems like this. If protected, please make sure it is at the proper current version rather than one including the inappropriate changes being attempted by User:Hsj13..-- ] (] · ]) 19:18, 2 June 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.

Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/June 3, 2008 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Italicize Ran. And don't say "declined" before you actually understand that first sentence. --Bem-Lobo (talk) 12:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Declined This should have been an {{editprotected}} request. - Rjd0060 (talk) 14:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Declined, Impossible. We cannot unprotect any "Today's featured articles". They are automatically protected because they are transcluded onto the main page. Please read and understand Cascading protection before making another request like this (this is two days in a row). -Royalguard11(T·R!) 03:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Replied on his talk. -Royalguard11(T·R!) 03:50, 3 June 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.

History of Vietnam (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The page contains a highly offensive paragraph, which cannot be substantiated. In addition, the paragraph in question contradicts information from other Misplaced Pages articles and reliable sources.

Therefore, I request that the page be unprotected to enable the removal of the offending paragraph. I have explained why the paragraph is offensive under Talk:History_of_Vietnam#Disputed_paragraph. 122.105.151.167 (talk) 12:19, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
