===={{La|Midnight_Syndicate}}====
I requested that the article ] be reverted to and re-protected, but the admin who originally protected it in its incorrect form (during an edit war) states that although my citations are a good arguement for granting the request, he "has no time to do so" and suggested I contact another admin. This is the user talk page: ]. As I expained there, the wrong version was protected, all my citations were previously removed by ] (both that editor and myself were engaged in an edit war). I have tried to discuss the matters we are opposing on, and he has refused all cites and does not cite anything verifiable of his own to support the removal of the material I wrote, nor for the promotional type of edits he had been inserting. The page is factually incorrect as it stands, highly self-promotional, and the other editor has engaged in deceptive editing, changing creditentials of the subjects, changing dates and the like to alter the context of the article and to present a subtle yet misleading version of the facts. We have tried Rfc but no one commented as to the issues being disputed (much of the ] was archived), and only one other editor had been commenting and reverting my edits to those of ], yet has written and cited nothing at all. Socks were checked. One was found for me, ] but the second check that was also requested returned inconclusive, and one was done on ] and was found to be conclusive with one other sock (reverting once and removing my citations) and 2 other sleeper socks. It's now down to just the two of us and only a single issue that we are butting heads on, and I really don't think we will ever agree given the circumstances. But meanwhile the rest of the article is wrong. Could you please revert to the correct version? and, if possible, also change the city name from Cleveland to Chardon, as proved in citations and band's website. Thank you. ] 03:39, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
:First of all ] only said ] is a valid argument, however because of ]'s lack of time he/she didn't have time to read the discussion page and thus did not know that we cannot use the citations ] wants to add because they are coming from Midnight Syndicate's main rivals, and their statements are unverifiable. Secondly, ] used his sockpuppet ] to tagteam on the ] article, whereas ]'s sockpuppet did not make any violations and the user has explained that it was her husband. Thirdly, the second check that ] mentions was actually a check to see if he was ], the result for that check was inconclusive. ] 04:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

:Please take a few minutes to review the Midnight Syndicate ] page and you will get a pretty clear picture of where our debate stands. I believe ] is trying to change the article so that it is more favorable to a former business partner. She repeatedly cites a defamatory website the former business partner created to discredit Midnight Syndicate and interviews in which said business partner defames the band and its founder, Edward Douglas. I am just trying to preserve the integrity of the article.

:You should also know that ] and her proven sock puppet ] (now indefinitely blocked) have a history of twisting facts. For instance, she states above that I have a sock that reverted the article once and removed her citations. That's not true. First of all, I've already explained said sock (]) was my husband. Second, the edit he made actually added a very non-controversial fact to the article and removed nothing. I'm sorry, but I do not know how to cite that.

    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    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.

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

    Semi-protection - Recently, there have been numerous cases of vandalism on the article as shown here. Over the past few days, vandalism in that article has intensified, and is really compromising the editing of that article. Some instances of vandalism are 'stacked' to the point that even if trusted Wikipedians reverted the vandalised article, a portion of the article may not be in the reverted revision. I feel that semi-protection should be held for at least a week. -- Altiris Exeunt 05:15, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

    Tom O'Brien (football coach) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    'Semi-protection' - it was announced tonight that Tom O'Brien is leaving Boston College to go to NC State. As a result, BC fans who don't want him to leave and NCSU fans who don't want him to come are vandalizing the article. I suggest semi-protection for a day or so until the shock wears off.

    Current requests for unprotection

    Shortcuts

    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.

    Palestine Peace Not Apartheid (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Would like to add more facts for the book pleace, especially links to reviews and correction of spelling mistakes. Menj 00:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

    Current requests for significant edits to a protected page

    Shortcut

    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.

    Semi-protection. The Vedas article has been vandalized quite heavily in the past few weeks by users and/or bots from rotating anonymous IPs. Recent vandalism has been made by 169.204.150.111, who has also targeted articles like François Duvalier, Fox News Channel, and Food. Registered contributors managed to revert 2 changes, but the vandal is diligent in its work. Another recent vandal is 220.225.244.196, who has also targeted Star Wars. I have attempted to maintain the integrity of the article by reverting vandalism as quickly as possible, but the vandalism returns at a fairly quick rate. Semi-protection will at the minimum permit registered contributors to manage the article effectively. Sarayuparin 22:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

    There is not enough recent activity to justify protection at this time. Just watchlist and revert any vandalism. Nishkid64 22:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

    semi-protection seems to have been under siege form IPs tongith. High-rate of vandlaism has meant some bit sof vandalism have gone un-reverted. I think it's all straightened out now, but would benefit from a period of calm. David Underdown 21:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

    Bowl Championship Series (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Semi-protection since the recent BCS Bowls were announced it has been vandalized many times. I expect it to continue through at least January 8, 2007, and even increase slightly before then, when the major contention occurs.. that National Championship Game. All (or at least very much most) have been by IPs. --MECU≈talk 21:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

    Semi-protected due to heavy vandalism. I'm protecting because I think the anon vandal is going to come back after the 3RR block. Nishkid64 22:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

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

    Semi-protection. There have been plenty of ridiculous vandalism attacks to the Kennet School page recently. This has happened before as well. A semi-protection permanently would be preferable. Thank you, CR7 18:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

    Declined for now, most recent vandalism by a couple of IPs who seem to have stopped now. Request protection again if vandalism resumes by multiple IPs.--Húsönd 19:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

    Semi-protection. Frequent target of IP and new user vandalism; increasing due to upcoming anniversary of Lennon's death (Dec 8). Request semi-protection at least through weekend, possibly longer. Thx. --Tvoz 17:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

    Semi-protected Sounds plausible, although the vandalism seems to have decreased today.--Húsönd 19:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
