Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 13:06, 6 June 2013

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

Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Japan-related articles (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: IP hopping editor suddenly enforcing what he believes to be a "consensus" version of the guideline based on a discussion from 5 months ago despite the "amendment" having never appeared before; likely the IP of a banned editor. —Ryulong (琉竜) 17:23, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

The discussion took place 3 months ago and was 4:1 in favor of the current wording. Did it ever occur to you that there might be a reason I am editing logged out? Maybe one sockpuppet on the losing side of that debate was posting (and is continuing to post) personal information about me off-wiki? 182.249.241.22 (talk) 03:04, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Well that's not my problem. You should not be logging out to avoid scrutiny because of some asshole harassing you off project when it is so obviously you. There was no clear outcome from that debate and the wording you have suddenly decided to impliment on the page certainly has no consensus because you just made it up yourself within the past 24 hours.—Ryulong (琉竜) 03:40, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

I can't tell whether this is a regular content dispute or disruptive editing/vandalism. To the anon, are you willing to stop reverting and discuss on the talk page instead? SlimVirgin 03:48, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

David Murphy (baseball) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Needs improvement. PrivateMasterHD (talk) 17:23, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Declined, There's almost no vandalism there at all that I can see. GedUK  12:55, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Can't Stop Feeling (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: This also applies to Dirty Pretty Things (band) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Eleanor Put Your Boots On (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Klaxons (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Lucid Dreams (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Murdoc Niccals (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), No You Girls (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Rab C. Nesbitt (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Tonight: Franz Ferdinand (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Ulysses (song) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and Walk Away (Franz Ferdinand song) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). A number of ever-changing anonymous IPs has been edit warring over these articles and likely more, changing any mentions of them being English/Scottish to British and vice-versa. This happens every day or two and has been going on for over a month now, with the anons showing no sign of heeding any warnings or engaging in any talk page discussions. Semi-protection should at least force these anons to register accounts if they want to continue edit warring and should also make it easier to contact them. I previously took this to Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring but nothing came of it, so I'm bringing it here. -- I need a name (talk) 16:43, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Blood: Franz Ferdinand (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Die on the Floor/Katherine Hit Me (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and The Fallen / L. Wells (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) too. -- I need a name (talk) 18:59, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Done. I'm in the process of semi-protecting them all for a month. SlimVirgin 05:44, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Murder of Travis Alexander (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full-protection: - edit dispute between someone running a pro-Jodi blog and other users.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:47, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Declined, I don't think that's reached edit war levels yet. GedUK  12:53, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection. Edit war, with over 30 edits in just over a week with regard to anti-Israeli comments and content. No significant discussion on the talk page. Suspected sockpuppets. --Dmol (talk) 09:21, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Post script - I just noticed that the issue has been on the talk page but is archived. http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Linux_Mint/Archive_Israel-Palestine_Controversy --Dmol (talk) 19:29, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Declined, This has probably gone a bit stale by now, and there's a substantial discussion on the talk page, so I think I can decline this now. Relist if it picks up again, but it should be for full protection, not semi. GedUK  12:47, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Eddie Jackson (musician) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection. Vandalism by different IPs (but undoubtedly the same user) originally on page Parker Lundgren (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)—which got semi-protected yesterday—now moves to pages of other Queensrÿche band members. It might be advisable to temporarily also semi-protect Michael Wilton, Scott Rockenfield and Todd La Torre. --Eddyspeeder (talk) 06:20, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I've left it at him for the moment, but if he hits one of the others as well, I'll do all of them if you tell me. GedUK  12:43, 6 June 2013 (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.
