Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 16:02, 20 May 2010

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

Whitefish Mountain Resort (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection, Ongoing attack by IP hopper(s), placing personal opinion into the article. - Sinneed 15:55, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Declined Looks like a single IP. Try warning the IP and we'll take it from there. --RegentsPark (talk) 16:00, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:What "Ignore all rules" means (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I don't really think that this page should be edited by IP's and non-auto confirmed. Nothing more. Buggie111 (talk) 15:41, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Declined There is insufficient vandalism and there is no reason why IPs and non-auto confirmed should be generally treated differently for this particular article. --RegentsPark (talk) 16:02, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

American Idiot – Original Broadway Cast Recording (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-Protection. Consistent vandalism by several anonymous users in which they are adding false information that I am having to revert. Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 15:03, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Declined while there has obviously been vandalism, it's not enough to warrant protection at the minute. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:29, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

List of Lebanese people (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection. Anonymous internet user has been vandalizing page by adding my user name on page and refusing to co-operate with list guidelines. Keeps reverting edits without discussing on page. English grammar is really bad, does not alphabetized entries, does not know history or religion and adds entries with no articles and no references. --XLR8TION (talk) 14:12, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:20, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection. One IP user made a joke edit to the article and now multiple IP addresses (including one that has a long, persistent history of vandalism, including several blocks) keep reverting any attempt to remove it. Hnsampat (talk) 12:02, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:18, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, A recently banned IP user (User:78.146.241.179) is switching between different IPs (User:89.241.145.23, User:92.24.69.20) to evade their block and continue reverting this article. All three IPs so far belong to Opal Telecom in Manchester, England - two have been banned, and it seems unlikely that banning the third would stop him from setting up a fourth. McGeddon (talk) 10:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Already protected by administrator Bubba hotep. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:15, 20 May 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.

The Lost Symbol (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotection The Lost Symbol was protected for a very long time in response to not so much vandalism. I went to the protecting admin some time ago and got no response. 74.108.86.83 (talk) 04:18, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Copied from a request on my talk page. I don't have time at the moment to process this request. Would appreciate any admin to look at this request. Thanks. Elockid 04:28, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Note: The article was only recently semi-protected (2 May). I'll drop a note on the protecting admins page asking for a comment. --RegentsPark (talk) 14:06, 20 May 2010 (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.
