Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:17, 14 May 2008

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

semi-protection For RFCU requests I might need to rough out much like the SSP down yonder. Also getting in the talkpages for full prot at best or semi. treelo _talk 19:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. Only the userpage, that is, not the talk pages. I have a reticence against protecting talk pages unless it's absolutely necessary. _GB 20:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

User:Treelo/ssp (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

semi-protection Vandalism, Rough SSP case writeup, very likely it'll end up being vandalised by the vandal in question as they seem to monitor my contribs. Stalking aside, requesting semi-prot to prevent attacks..treelo _talk 18:58, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. Hut 8.5 19:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

semi-protect. Repeated vandalism. Repeated reverting of falsehoods. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 18:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Collegiate secret societies in North America (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary protection Either semi or full. There is an edit war there that I inadvertently "joined" while using Huggle. IMO, there is a possibility that the instigating party is a sockpuppet, but I'm not sure. Also, for the record, my reversions after the first one were partially a result of me being a little trigger-happy with Huggle. Sorry about that. Thingg 18:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Someone else got there first... _GB 18:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

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

This is still a pretty new template to do album tracklists. It is still new, so not very widespread, but has a growing potential for danger.
semi-protect. High risk template, but new page with frequent edits.
full-protect. Very high risk template in the near future.

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.

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

This recently undeleted page needs to be unprotected so that the community can try and restore it to the high quality article that would be expected. It is unlikely that politically motivated individuals from Encyclopedia Dramatica website will attempt to damage this page as they have a whole wiki of their own to vandalize. Cheers Chebyshev (talk) 21:17, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Project Chanology (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

unprotection , Unprotect request, from current level of semi-protection. However it is likely that if vandalism picks up again, will be back with another semi-protect request.  :( Thanks..Cirt (talk) 15:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This policy is currently undergoing revision after massive amounts of discussion on the talk page. Protection appears to violate WP:PREFER on the part of an admin that was involved in the discussion on the talk page. It doesn't seem like a massive amount of edit-warring but a rather modest amount of BRD cycle. Ursasapien (talk) 09:32, 14 May 2008 (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.

Full protection Constant edit warring by user:Smith2006, who keeps removing the antisemitism cat without providing a reasonable secondary source (and accusing me of bad faith edits). BillMasen (talk) 22:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Declined The edit war is too slow-moving and of insufficient duration to really justify protection. Moreover, this, superficially at least, appears to one editor stubbornly reverting against consensus and would be better served by wider examination of his conduct at WP:ANI.

The vandalism seems pretty spread out (timeframe-wise). Maybe you should just issue warnings?--Koji†Dude 02:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

The protection policy allows for indefinite semi protection in this case. The insertions are frequent enough that it is an issue. Best, NonvocalScream (talk) 02:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Abdul Hadi Palazzi (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

Last attempt to request Semi-protection for me. I am really quite upset that this talk page got rejected for semi-protection twice, especially on the basis of "there is not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection at this time"!! Are you people on crack? It's been more than 15 times that this page has been partially or completely cleared out of it's content, and quite frankly, if it hadn't been for me, the vandals (all from anonymous IPs) would've been quite successful at doing so. Have a look at this for example. That's content that had been removed months ago and no one even noticed that. So for me, if even this time the talk page fails to pass, other than the disappointment, it will mean that you guys tolerate and accept such behaviour. In that case, I will no longer have any interest in preserving the article and let vandalism for the purpose of censorship take place. Thanks. --Do you know me?...then SHUT UP!!! _{Sarcasm is beauty} 00:42, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Declined Well I guess I tolerate and accept such behavior (And no I'm not on crack). I'm sorry to repeat this, but there is not enough recent activity to justify protection of an article, let alone a talk page. We must leave talk pages open in all but the worst cases, to allow for anyone to comment on the article. The reason that protection is only placed for recent activity, is because it is easier to just revert vandalism if there is only an edit or two each day. Please, just revert the vandalism when you see it on your watchlist. Thank you. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 05:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Note that I propose protection following an unanswered post at WP:AN. But we may have alternatives at this point. Cenarium (talk) 23:20, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Declined - Blocking would be a better alternative here, it appears that you have already warned all parties involved so if any of them continue to edit war leave a message on my talk and they will be blocked for edit warring. Tiptoety 04:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
