Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 02:00, 20 August 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: There have been many IPs recently that removed the "emo" genre from the infobox. I have explained in the talk page and in my edit summaries that this is a fully sourced genre and should stay, but IP users continue to ignore the comments stating not to edit the genre. I'm guessing this should only be temporary, as it didn't happen before the genre was added in. I don't want to break 3RR, so I thought it would be better to temporarily protect the article. I don't know if this is enough to semi-protect the page, but I figured it's better than getting myself blocked. Should I report this somewhere else instead? — Error 22:41, 19 August 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.

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

Currently, the article for Ronald Jenkees has been deleted and protected from being re-added. I'm not sure what the arguments where against it existing, perhaps he was too new at the time and hadn't gained his current fame. But he seems to be well known now. His tunes are now available on iTunes, Amazon, and Rhapsody. He has also been linked to from ESPN and was interviewed by a few people. One of the guys in the wikipedia IRC channel even said that he liked his music when I mentioned that I wanted to unprotect his article. So I think he is significant enough to have an article. Thanks. -- Suso (talk) 18:33, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Not unprotected - WP:ILIKEIT is not a reason to have an article. Google News comes up empty, suggesting that he hasn't achieved enough notability yet. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:37, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Ok, just to add a bit more references to him showing up in the media. here is the article on ESPN where he gets a mention. According to Ronald Jenkee's , he was given the oppurtunity to write the theme song for Bill Simmons' podcast. And from listening to the podcast, it actually sounds like Ronald's voice at the beginning doing the intro. And according to some comments on youtube, one of his videos appeared on Youtube's front page once. So, coming from a neutral stance, I think that makes him mildly notable. The fact that he has over a million channel views and several of his videos have received a half million to 2 million views kinda shows that he is popular. -- Suso (talk) 20:09, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Done (the double redirect, that is). Hut 8.5 18:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

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

There is currently a page for him at Ryan Higa (YouTube comedian), but it doesn't make sense to have a page for him there and not at Ryan Higa, which is protected. I feel the page should not be deleted because he's one of the most watched users on YouTube, and there has been some media coverage of him , and he has a Hollywood film expected to come out next year, so I feel deletion is not the right decision. I believe Ryan Higa should be unprotected so his current page can be moved to this. – Obento Musubi (C • G • S) 05:57, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Not unprotected - I don't think he's notable enough; Google News comes up empty. Ryan Higa (YouTube comedian) only exists because the article couldn't be created at Ryan Higa. I've nominated Ryan Higa (YouTube comedian) for deletion. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

He's at #2 as the most subscribed comedian of all time, and number one of most subscribed comedian of this month. So what if Google News comes up empty? The Honolulu Advertiser, one of Hawaii's biggest newspapers, has an online article about him being in a Hollywood movie. I believe that is enough to qualify for notability. – Obento Musubi (C • G • S) 23:06, 19 August 2008 (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.

List of National Basketball Association top individual scoring season averages (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

There is a necessary edit to make on this page, which provides misinformation on NBA history. In fact, the page appears to have been protected in the first place due to an edit war involving the change that needs to be made. However, there was no type of discussion - by either party involved - on the talk page made during that edit war, which perhaps explains why the page was protected in the first place.

Declined What specifically do you want the administrators to add? -Jéské 04:40, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

I think that you misunderstand. There is not a need for an addition, but rather a piece of content should be removed from the page because it does not actually belong there. A particular player's season is listed there when it is not acknowledged by the NBA in its record books. For some more detail, I have commented on this on the talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.31.252.152 (talk) 05:02, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Deferring to another administrator here as this involves editing a section previously the focus of an edit-war. I'm unwilling to make the change, but it does sound reasonable. -Jéské 18:19, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

So what happens now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.31.252.152 (talk) 07:13, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

You'll have to wait for another administrator. Another suggestion I could make is to use {{editprotected}} on the talk page and be specific about the edit you want to make; RFPP is rather sleepy at times. -Jéské 20:56, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Semi-Protection requested specifically Second request. This article has been the subject of an IP editor whose IP changes regularly, and will not listen to reasons for the reversions by multiple editors. There's no articles on the web to support it, no comic issue to support it, and he won't stop, it's been days now. Because the problematic editor vandalizes from different a IP each day, a block is a waste of everyone's time. Please actually read what's been written this time. thank you.

So we block a range, possibly precluding other editors, when we can lock up ONE page to SEMI when that's the only page the IP goes for? What the hell. nevermind. I'll just keep cleaning up multiple times a day, and I'll point tot he inaction here when the IP tries to get me for a 3RR violation. ThuranX (talk) 05:08, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

indefinite semi-protection , The vandalism-to-edit ratio on this page is high of late. It's one of our more commonly used notability guidelines, and thus has a rather high profile.
