Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 18:12, 12 November 2006

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

Woodside High School (Newport News) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I am requesting this page to be semi-protected due to large amounts of vandalism in the recent past. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 17:44, 12 November 2006 (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.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The dispute was over untrustworthy sources but now the game is out the information has been confirmed and there is no debate anymore.Simondrake 15:54, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Unprotected -- Steel 16:05, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

LAN Gaming Center (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Request for Unprotected its been like a week now and also they blocked my ip of 66.93.251.114 so I can't dispute... help 4.231.201.116 05:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Not unprotected. I'm not unprotecting it so spamming can continue. -- Steel 16:07, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Thats rediculous why can't this be settled the right way? What we are disputing is not spam! 66.93.251.126 18:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

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

I believe that this dispute is over now that the person who started it has been discovered to be a troll using an open proxy. BenBurch 02:19, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

2001-present war in Afghanistan (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

It was protected due to constant vandalism by HanzoHattori, alone. I request it to be unprotected and the vandal be blocked, so that the rest of the editors can make constructive contributions. Warrior on Terrorism 15:47, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Not unprotected. Not vandalism. Discuss the matter on the talk page. -- Steel 15:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Current requests for significant 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.

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

Hi, I would like to add a comment about Mr. Reagan by Archbishop Tutu- " I found it quite nauseating. I think the West, for my part, can go to hell. . . . Your president is the pits as far as blacks are concerned. He sits there like the great, big white chief of old."

This comment is very important as it questions Mr. Reagan's role in propping up the Racist South African Regime through his opposition to sanctions.

Later in 1986, Congress had finally had enough of the carnage to vote for limited sanctions. Reagan vetoed them. Congress overrode the veto. Reagan proceded to put no muscle behind the sanctions. Mandela remained in jail and at least 2,000 political prisoners remained detained without trial.

In describing Reagan as a great American hero this is a major black spot that one should always remember. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Schandra.100 (talk • contribs)

Declined. Please propose this addition on the article's talk page. -- Steel 12:18, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Fulfilled/denied requests

Allegations of state terrorism by United States of America (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Full Protection Long edit war going on, I noticed it was posted on ANI.

Fully protected -- Steel 12:26, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

John Abi-Saab (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

"'Full Protection"'Long standing edit war. Abi Saab's most notable feature is his alleged corruption as a mayor. An editor has continually removed all referencesw to this. Porturology 12:18, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. -- Steel 12:26, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Article is facing edit war. A source detailing the mistaken notion of Kantor's father being Jewish on a German theatre lexicon is being ignored as "less reliable" than the actual German theatre lexicon. No legitimate reasons are being presented why the theatre lexicon should be thought of as correct even after it is proven to be wrongly assumptuous, and instead the article is facing random reverts. 04:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected. Edit war between anons. -- Steel 11:52, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Anna's Taqueria (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection IP vandal 24.91.56.77 has edited the article dozens of times to remove anything critical and to turn the page into an advertisement. — ShadowHalo 04:39, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. -- Steel 11:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

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

This is the weakest "edit war" ever. The real political articles would never be unprotected if this qualifies as an edit war. Please unprotect so that we can implement reliable sources and remove references to unreliable ones. --Tbeatty 20:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Not unprotected. You've been edit warring like mad. Discuss it. -- Steel 11:47, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Request for Unprotected because currently there is more vandalism by the registered user Riveros11 and more editors are needed for a balanced view vs a Brahma Kumaris PR Advertisement view. Note that protection has been in place since November 5th. Regards TalkAbout 03:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Not unprotected. Some IP hopping anon was causing a lot of disruption, and I'm not about to let that start again. -- Steel 11:57, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Morrison Christian Academy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection. This article had been plagued with the edits of 220.191.79.* for a week now. He had been adding in questionable clauses that border on the verge of vandalism or is already vandalism (his Oct 21 was pure vandalism, as pointed out by User:Axlq). I had tried to reason with him and resolve the conflict with him in the Talk page, even leaving a message in his IP talk page that he should try to discuss his views before putting it on the main page. He responded to me for a time but now does not listen and continues to edit the page to his radical viewpoints. Many Misplaced Pages authors had reverted it back (User:Asdf1248, User:Chinesetaipei, User:219.81.231.226, and User:219.86.98.19) but 220.191.79.* continues undeterred. Requesting semi-protection so the integrity of the article could be upheld from the constant vandalism of that user. Chrissu 03:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected -- Avi 05:19, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Page was protected over a day ago. No justification was given; no discussion was initiated on the talk page. There were several (not many) reverts of a potentially objectionable phrase about an 'anti-Palestine' lobby, but the protecting admin preserved that phrase (another admin subseq rem under WP:BLP. There was also discussion and editing about Lieberman's party affiliation. Discussion has continued, and editing just resumed (on the protected page) through an admin-proxy. All that protection is doing is damping discussion. Perhaps semi-protection is called for if the 'anti-Palestine' usage reappears. Jd2718 05:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected -- Avi 05:21, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Deir Yassin massacre (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Fully protected -- Steel 23:40, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection - Repeated vandalism by numerous IPs. At least 70 edits over the last half hour. --snowolfD4 20:56, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected -- Steel 21:03, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

World Wrestling Entertainment (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Requesting semi-protection. Recent/Heavy vandalism from anon's falsifying information, adding rumors, and adding nonsense. --I c e d K o l a 20:32, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected -- Steel 21:03, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Kim Jong-il (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection - Virtually, all edits in the past few days were unconstructive and vandalism and there were quite a lot too. Maybe semi-protection will help here even if a minority of vandalism edits are from registered users.--JForget 19:05, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected -- Steel 19:32, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Semi-Protection - I requested this earlier, and it was removed for some reason, without either being confirmed or denied. There are several people who are vandalising this page, removing paragraphs with multiple sources, simply because they don't like the content. It is not possible to discuss this with them, since one is an anon IP address. Both users have been warned multiple times. It is becoming frustrating, since when I revert the page to the unvandalised form, I lose all of the copy edits. A little help would be sincerely appreciated. Jeffpw 11:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Declined. Semi-protection will not solve this problem. -- Steel 12:09, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Well then, what will????????????????? The removal of sourced information by anonymous users who won't discuss the changes seems like vandalism to me. What would you suggest?????????? It is now happening multiple times a day. I have now tried to get the users blocked. Jeffpw 15:54, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

It's not only anons removing that section. It's also a good faith effort, not vandalism. There is no real edit warring occurring, and you've put a lot of effort into improving the article these last few days, so full protection isn't an option. -- Steel 17:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection: This article was a target of vandalism by two IP users (] and ]) .. I was worried that they may entirely edit some parts of the article of the Cebu City Mayor which are hard to notice.

Some of their edits were:

• He met Duane Mark Cañete in highschool. He became his enemy. But his mistress Janice May Inoc saved the world from cavitees.
• He met Duane Mark Cañete, who in later years turned into a homosexual drug addict, in highschool. He became his enemy. But his mistress Janice May Inoc saved the world from cavitees.
• He met Duane Mark Cañete in highschool. He became Cañete's enemy in subsequent years when Cañete was found dealing low grade methanphetamines with Cañete's mistress, Janice May Inoc, a dentist. ----Kevin Ray 03:24, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Why somebody thought it was a good idea to unprotect this page is beyond me. Vandalism from the moment it was unprotected. -- AuburnPilot 01:00, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

File:Emblem_of_Kyrgyzstan.png (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This image is protected for no reason that I can see. The copyright attribution is incorrect at present (the attribution states that a GIF of the original image may be freely used but this version is a PNG) so the page needs to be unprotected so that the correct copyvio template can be added. -- Hux 18:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC).

Un-protected. It's not on the Main Page anymore. Nishkid64 01:38, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

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

The article was protected 3 weeks ago to deal with problem editors who have since been blocked or quit editing even the talk page. At least 2 editors who were not involved in any problems and who have not been accused of any wrongdoing have requested the article be unprotected; The administrator, SarahEwart, is keeping a watchful eye on the article so if any problems recurr she can quickly protect it again if necessary but for now it should be unprotected as there are numerous important current developments related to Michael Ignatieff which are being left out of wikipedia because of the protection. 65.95.151.230 14:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Unprotected Shyam 15:00, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

ottawaman, you are evading a block. Please do not speak on my behalf. If other editors who are not currently evading their block wish to make changes to the article, they can do so via the talk page. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 16:52, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

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

This article is being protected to keep a POV and unsourced version of history. IT needs to be unlocked so that sourcing and writing can be improved. --Tbeatty 15:26, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Not unprotected due to revert warring. See m:The Wrong Version. -- Steel 15:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
