Misplaced Pages

Please deny this request. This problematic editor is making controversial page moves him/herself without consultation and is now trying to use this mechanism to protect his/her actions. Instead, force the editor to discuss on the appropriate talk pages as requested. --Simple Bob (talk) 22:34, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

This page has existed under the name St Pauls, Bristol since 2004. Recently User:Ajuk placed a page move request to new name St Paul's Bristol and after a mere two days the page was moved by User:Dlohcierekim. I pointed out that the note had only been on the article talk page for two days and User:Dlohcierekim reverted the move. User:Ajuk then reverted that move without any response to my query about the move on the artcile talk page, so I reverted to the original naming. Both forms of the name are used by various official sources and I see no reason for User:Ajuk's change and feel that further and full discussion is needed before any change is made.

Temporary full protection dispute, This page has been subject to some sort of edit war over the last few days over whether or not this person should have a criminal infobox. I have asked the editors disputing this to join in the discussion about this on the talk page but they are refusing to listen. Can we please get this page protected until this argument is sorted out?. 5 albert square (talk) 15:42, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

One of the edit warriors has been blocked indef today, w/the observation that it is likely a sock as well. The other one is an IP. I think protection of some sort is a good idea, but wonder whether semi protection may well be sufficient--or at least worth trying first.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:35, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. If an agreement is reached before then, let me know and I'll unprotect the page. -FASTILY 21:40, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

I think consensus was already reached -- especially if you discount the now-blocked edit-warring SPA. There is just the one IP out there at the moment who has not acceded to the consensus.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:48, 28 February 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.

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.

Semi-protection 3RR and dispute This page is constantly having about 10kb of info added to this page, which gives non-neutral analysis of every single fight that this person has been in. Has been explained to the IP why it needs removing, via edit summary and talk page, but user has 3RR'd in restoring the information. I currently have reverted twice and don't want to again, for fear of 3RRing myself. The consensus is removal, but the IP ignores that, so can we please have page protection and a revert (to allow me to not have to and therefore violate 3RR).

Napoleon I of France (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Would an admin be kind enough to rename this article to "Napoleon I", dropping the "of France" from the title, or unprotected it so others could. The article is currently protected preventing others from doing so. The article was frequently vandalized in the past, so unprotected should probably not be done. However, a consensus was found here Talk:Napoleon_I_of_France#Title_:_Napoleon_of_France_.3F to rename the article. If nothing else, please give a reason that this can't be done, or what action needs to be taken for this to be done. Thanks. —Charles Edward  17:01, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
