Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 08:44, 27 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

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.

September_11,_2001_attacks (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Please unprotect this article. I had originally requested protection on this page, but now I think the nature of the dispute has been hammered out and we're ready to proceed with editing. Cplot 06:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I've posted to the talk page, will unprotect if consensus dictates so. AmiDaniel (talk) 07:33, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

A better idea would be to downgrade it to semi-protection since it receives a lot of vandal attacks when unprotected--Acebrock 07:42, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Requesting unprotection. Page was protected after 9 citations from sources such as the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Business Week, etc, that I added were removed and a claim of edit-warring was made by User:Rgfolsom. This user appears to be Robert Folsom who works for Prechter. He has not made any contributions to the talk page since the protection, and nobody on the talk page has attempted to justify either the removal of the citations or the protection of the article. Smallbones 16:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Unprotected. AmiDaniel (talk) 07:34, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Crystallina (edit | ] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Requesting unprotection. I just found out my userpage was protected a few weeks ago and don't think it needs to be, especially not this long afterwards. Crystallina 02:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC) Unprotected --Majorly (Talk) 02:05, 27 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.

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

There needs to be a significant edit to the Micheal Richards page, as it has be determined, and aired on the Today show by Matt Lauer, that the two men who heckled Richards did not respond with racist comments in response to his diatribe. Those comments came from other patrons in the club. To let that stand and not allow it to be corrected is a travesty of justice, and a provocatively racist omission. User: Rousedabout 18:40, 24 November, 2006 (MT)

Please suggest changes to the article on the talk page. If you can gain consensus for your changes, then they will be implemented. AmiDaniel (talk) 12:28, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Fulfilled/denied requests

The Kiski School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Requesting Semi-protection - repeated vandalism by multiple IPs (apparently disgruntled students). I can't keep up; I run into edit conflicts every time I try to revert vandalism. -Kubigula (ave) 05:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected due to vandalism Gnangarra 05:13, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Infinity on High (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection it receives spam edits every day. After my last request for semi-protection some hours ago, 3 different IPs made edits to the page which were both untrue and spam. This happens every day and I am constantly reverting both spam and factually incorrect edits as a result. I think preventing unregistered users from editing the page would benefit the article positively. --Russ is the sex 02:50, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected frequent spam and vandalsm Gnangarra 04:18, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Let's try unprotection for a while; hopefully protection is no longer necessary. JMartino (UTC)

Un-protected. It's been protected for long enough. Hopefully things have calmed down since then. Nishkid64 23:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected. Five minutes later, it gets hit with multiple vandalism attacks. Nishkid64 00:05, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Requesting Semi-protection. This is a high risk page for vandalism. If you look at the history. There was only a very limited amout of vandalism on this page while it was semi-protected. There has been a ton of vandalism since losing the semi-protection 8 days ago. Kingjeff 23:44, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected due to heavy vandalism. Nishkid64 23:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Request full protection. Repeatedly vandalised by random declarations of love. SparrowsWing 22:53, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected. It doesn't need full protection, semi should suffice. --Majorly (Talk) 22:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Please semi-protect this article. Persistent anon vandalism is causing great chaos. TSO1D 18:30, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected due to heavy vandalism. Nishkid64 19:14, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

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

This article is in need of semi-protection; the article is consistently under the attack of IP vandals (look how many times "rv", "revert", and "vandalism" are mentioned in the page's history).--Porsche997SBS 18:17, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

There is not enough recent activity to justify protection at this time. Just watchlist and revert any vandalism. Nishkid64 18:25, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Requesting semi-protection But I think there should defiantly be a mention of the truth movement This movement is Massive and legitimate as the official story has many unanswerd questions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.206.231.20 (talk • contribs) 13:48, 26 November 2006 (UTC).

You're going to have to be more specific--exactly what article do you want sprotected? AmiDaniel (talk) 13:51, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Motorola RAZR V3 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection consistent vandalization (adding linkspam) of the page over the past week. The anon who was posting was blocked but the exact same vandalism is occurring from a different IP. --ImmortalGoddezz 05:44, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

There is not enough vandalism to this article to warrant semi-protection. Please watchlist and revert as you see it. AmiDaniel (talk) 12:24, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry just curious... What constitutes as enough vandalism? I thought the semi-protect was to "stop banned or blocked users who are using multiple IP" I count 26 reversion to the page over a 15 day period even though the vandal has been warned multiple times and banned via one IP once. Sorry if I've read the policy wrong and thanks for the answer. --ImmortalGoddezz 16:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected due to heavy vandalism. I don't know if AmiDaniel overlooked the fact that this page has been hit with vandalism 3-5 times a day. Nishkid64 17:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Requesting Semi-Protection or Full Protection. This page's edits are almost all vandalism or reverting of vandalism. It is most prevalent in the Births section, in which 16 and 17 year olds will add themselves to the list. Bkissin 01:24, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

List of gangs in Grand Theft Auto series (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

User:86.133.37.183, User:MetallicSnake16, User:69.205.63.246, User:217.42.9.109, and User:66.214.47.110 have all been involved in an Edit War over the past 2-3 days and it has become extremely disruptive, as well as being attributed and concerned with over 300 edits within the past 72 hours, including over 60 times today, with other users removing things but only finding it to be added back again, or changed to a persons own POV/speculation. --r9tgokunks 19:03, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Fully protected due to revert warring. Nishkid64 00:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Template:Navigation (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Unprotection or change to semi-protection. Template is not used in article directly, only for creating other templates. So it's not that easy to find it. Full protection could be changed to semi-protection though. In the mean time some administrators editing it w/o discussion or even summary. There was no vandalism of this template in recent past. -- tasc _deeds 10:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Not unprotected As it's a high use template, I'm unwillng to unprotect. Just try to get in contact with the editing admins. Martinp23 12:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Editing admins blatantly violate guidelines, playing with template and ignoring all but themself. I really appreciate your help and insight into the problem. I'm sure you noticed that this high use template wasn't vandalised, at least in recent past. Of course, if we not counting admin-vandals. -- tasc _deeds 13:05, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. The special case for templates in terms of protection is that some may be permanently protected before significant vandalism, as much to reduce server load as anything (see for the sort of useage of this template, which shows that it is used in thousands of articles). The relevant policy is WP:HRT. As you may have noticed, in an effort to prevent violation of the rules by admins, I've left a commented out message at the top of the template, in the <noinclude></noinclude> part. I hope this helps you to understand my considered decision. Martinp23 13:21, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
