Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:30, 29 June 2012

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 full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Few Months, please refer to last full protection for more information page will be full or content war until the situation is resolved in few months, warnings will not be good enough because since neither side of the argument are right or wrong because the situation is still unclear. Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 18:01, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Template:Welcome-hd (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection: Highly visible template. Nathan2055 16:09, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

• (Non-administrator comment) Template has no transclusions. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 16:55, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

  It is supposed to be subst'ed, so should not have any transclusions. Anyway, it is fairly new. Without any evidence that says it is highly used, I don't see a reason for pre-emptive protection here. —Kusma (t·c) 17:04, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

List of modern dictators (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection: Persistent vandalism – Constant vandalism on this page with factual errors and edit warring. I request PP for at least a month. Regards. —Hahc21 13:38, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Chelonoidis nigra abingdonii (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi protection: Consensus was made on the talk page as to the extinction status of the tortoise. There has since been a high number of IP editors modifying the status despite consensus and a hidden note. Ryan Vesey Review me! 12:39, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Straight-two engine (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – There has been some tendentious and pointy editing by Bridge Boy, who his pushing his POV (through controversial moves) and repeatedly changing article content. Protecting the article until the issues can be resolved on the talk page will stop him from doing this. The page has already been move protected because of his edits, but he keep pushing his preferred article name into the text of the article before consensus has been reached on any name change. Biker Biker (talk) 05:57, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Note: I am considering blocking Bridge Boy (talk · contribs) as he seems to be the primary reason for the dispute on this page. Elockid 12:26, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Once again this disruptive editor has repurposed the page while an active discussion is taking place on the article's talk page. --Biker Biker (talk) 16:03, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, can we revert this and then protect the page until there is consensus? --Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:20, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

This is the stable version before the disupte started. Might be better to go back to that one. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:30, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Bad Girls Club (season 9) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Junebea1 (talk) 01:51, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

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

Full-protection: Content dispute/edit warring, worsened by the fact that the draft is currently happening. An admin level user (Sikh-history) and couple other want to tamper with this particular article due to religious jealous.

Note: I am considering blocks for WP:MEAT/WP:SOCK. Also, Sikh-history is not an admin. Elockid 12:31, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

That Guy with the Glasses (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Website released has the trailer for their fourth year anniversary film, which has been coupled with the departure of a popular producer last week. Vandalism has been related to both events: primarily involving unsourced or poorly sourced (ie blogs and twitter hearsay) speculation, as well as BLP violating vandalism involving certain producers listed on the page. Doc StrangeLogbook 06:51, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism – This article has been edited several times (and everytime) by unregistered users, doing vandalism on the article. Yumix2 (talk) 13:58, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Jezebel'sPonyo 17:46, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi protection: susceptible of vandalism in the next hours and days due to recent politic changes in Romania. Nashu2k 13:27, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Please re-request protection if extensive vandalism occurs. Jezebel'sPonyo 17:44, 29 June 2012 (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.

User talk:Armbrust/Editnotice (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

Unprotection: Request in own userspace. For some reason {{REVISIONUSER}} doesn't work with full protection. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 13:37, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Unprotected Changed to semi. Enigma 14:54, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Unprotection: Request in own userspace. For some reason {{REVISIONUSER}} doesn't work with full protection. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 13:36, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Unprotected Changed to semi. Enigma 14:54, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

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

Very long-standing semi-protection on this article, and original protecting admin doesn't seem to be currently active. Might need someone with OTRS access to review original filing for context. (History reveals a low-level content dispute, but perhaps there's more to it than that.) 84.203.34.110 (talk) 05:51, 29 June 2012 (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.

Fulfilled/denied requests

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

Temporary semi protection: - speculation around potential move to English club means that there's been a fair bit of IP editing changing clubs. Zanoni (talk) 09:25, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Withdrawn request - move now confirmed by current club to another Russian club. Zanoni (talk) 12:08, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Note: request was withdrawn. Elockid 12:13, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Declined (for the script) Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 12:39, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection: There is a user who has been engaged in disruptive editing and refuses to participate in discussions. He was blocked for legal threats and edit warring but resumed editing through an IP without appealing the block. (see for previous instance) Unless the page is semiprotected, editors are reduced to playing whack-a-mole with his new edits from new accounts. Original User:GPieczenik; New socks User:Okara8323, User: 76.1.230.37 and User:70.15.49.155. Staticd (talk) 07:37, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Elockid 12:32, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: For over a month IP users have been adding fictitious release dates to the article. Main IP culprit was blocked. Action has continued, and now appears to either be a co-ordinated campaign from different IP addresses, or the original IP user evading the block with a proxy. X201 (talk) 07:54, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 5 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Elockid 12:23, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

User:Adjkasi (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism by 68.227.247.29 (talk). Adjkasi (discuss me | changes) 06:20, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. I'm assuming this since this was the previous protection length. Please let me know if you want it modified. Elockid 12:17, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

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

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Classical edit war: several editors (mostly with IP addresses) removing/adding the same images/information without discussing the issue on the Talk page. KœrteFa {ταλκ} 06:13, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

I don`t believe full protection is the solution since we are dealing with sock puppetets. The page could be full protected and edits from a Sock puppet could remain - I don`t believe that is indicated. Semi protection would do fine. The article should revert to it`s previous state, before this sock puppet started all this. I have asked for a semi protection.Adrian (talk) 10:08, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, Adrian, I agree with you. Temporary semi protection seems enough, since the edit war is between IP-editors. KœrteFa {ταλκ} 11:08, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Temporary semi protection: - This article has been a target to various IP users ( ; , , , Most probably socks from Stubes 99] or somebody else. Semi protection seems to me like a good idea to stop this disruptive editing and maintain it`s pre-sock state. Adrian (talk) 10:04, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Elockid 12:18, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

UEFA Euro 2012 Final (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
