Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:31, 28 February 2015

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

Full protection: Continued edit warring, restoring a mammoth edit that was never discussed on the talk pages where some of the content is the subject of an ongoing RFC. Please also revert the article before the mammoth edit, no discussions of edits has taken place other than it needs to be discussed. AlbinoFerret 22:02, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Rjd0060 (talk) 22:29, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

AlbinoFerret is continuing to delete reliable sources. AlbinoFerret also deleted a number of sources including reviews without a specific objection on the talk page. See Talk:Safety of electronic cigarettes#Positions. Most editors disagree with AlbinoFerret at the RfC. See WP:SNOW. User:Bbb23 blocked AlbinoFerret for violating the three-revert rule at the Safety of electronic cigarettes page.

AlbinoFerret claims "Reliability does not guarantee inclusion." But AlbinoFerret has not given a specific reason for excluding relevant information about safety. AlbinoFerret has turned the page into a WP:BATTLEGROUND. AlbinoFerret is continuing to delete reliable sources. See Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive864#User:AlbinoFerret for background information. QuackGuru (talk) 22:31, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – genre warring. Discussion started on the Talk page. Karst (talk) 11:40, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Activity on the borderline of manageable seems to pop up every few days, but the last two days appear to have increased activity with 3 IPs. If it becomes unmanageable after protection is lifted, then please ask again - just hoping to keep it to a minimum Panyd 18:32, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Snuggums (talk / edits) 07:09, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

• Seconded. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 08:30, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
• Why do not you go to the talk page and try to sort it out there without protection? This is a high-traffic page right now, already semi-protected, and it is not really desirable to fully protect it now. Additionally, if it gets fully protected for 12h or for 24h, after the full protection expires, the article gets not protected at all, with obvious consequences you can imagine. I do not see any BLP violations in the article, and it means the content dispute can be resolved without blocks and protections.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:53, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

• 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.
