Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 08:48, 5 July 2009

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-protect. Since yesterday morining, various IPs keep on changing the introduction, adding a non-sensical text about Dieudonné having been condemned only once (he has in fact been condemned five times)--RCS (talk) 08:48, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Iranian presidential election, 2009 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Garry's Mod (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection, Ever since the last semi was lifted the article in question keeps getting crap added to it by IPs, lowering the already low quality of the page even lower. CWii_{(Talk|Contribs)} 05:54, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Recent vandalism, including a mass-blanking of the page by user MuffinChomper that stood from June 30 till just now, when I restored that user's blanked content. Andrewlp1991 (talk) 03:09, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

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

2009 Honduran coup d'état (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection because of repeated reverts by an IP address; the article was previouslty semi-protected, I think that's been lost either because of the repeated moves or because it expired, but I believe some protection ought to be re-applied. --LjL (talk) 02:02, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Temporary Semi-protect. High level of IP vandalism. Dancing IP. The IP's been blocked twice, but stopping this IP is like playing Wack-a-mole. Can we get an IP range protection (166.204.226.8 - 166.214.141.133)? How about, 166.2??.*.* ?

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

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, For two days the only controbutions have been vandals and those who revert them. Abce2|Free LemonadeOnly 25 cents! 01:12, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected EdJohnston (talk) 02:31, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

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

Full protection - there is an edit war between at least two persons going on, seemingly divided by either splitting/removing information from the main article. StevePrutz (talk) 00:12, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Fully protected three days. If revert warring continues when protection expires, blocks are possible. EdJohnston (talk) 02:39, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

This was not revert warring, for which I should have been blocked or warned. I was reverting the additions of a blocked editor. Their is no underlying content dispute or reason to disallow beneficial contributions. I request that this page be unprotected. Synchronism (talk) 04:25, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection - Article is receiving regular disruptive edits from IPs, presumably the same user using a dynamic IP. Suggest semi-protection for at least 48 hours. – PeeJay 23:49, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Fully protected three days. None of the participants in this controversy are being reasonable. I see no usage of the article talk, and plenty of blocks in the history of these editors. As a very last resort, why not consider WP:Dispute resolution? EdJohnston (talk) 03:14, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection - Continuous genre vandalism. Kenny G is smooth jazz, whether anyone likes it or not. ANDROS 23:38, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Korean Minjok Leadership Academy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

CheongShim International Academy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, anon users have been chain adding redirects and such. Falcon8765 (talk) 22:47, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

User talk:Michael27ca (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

full protection user talk of blocked user, He has plenty of other account's talk pages to use, if he seeks to make amends. No no need to war here. Synchronism (talk) 22:34, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Declined User reblocked with talk page editing disabled. Nakon 23:06, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Full - on going edit war over combination of potential original research and trivia inclusion. Request full protection to force all parties to stick to discussing on talk page instead of just reverting back and forth while others try and discuss it.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 13:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Kamen Rider Double (character) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) & Template:Kamen Rider Double (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I'm requesting a temporary full protection (2 months, if possible) on these two redirects which I had to produce out of the histories of these two pages earlier tonight. This is to prevent further crystal balling and additions of content that is neither verifiable or reliably sourced. I have no reason to doubt that the users who produced the content of these pages earlier will continue their attempts at producing these pages before the TV show relating to these pages airs on September 6.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 07:05, 3 July 2009 (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.

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

Unprotect: The protecting admin has retired and the page has been semi-pp since 2007. This goes against the very ethos of WMF and WP. I request unprotection. Mainly to see if anons can edit within the rules of WP, but also because to totally exclude anons from editing is very much against what we are trying to achieve here! fr33kman 04:57, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Unprotected agreed, let's see how it goes. Mfield (Oi!) 05:03, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you; hopefully it will be okay. Cheers fr33kman 05:05, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

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

I have been re-writing the Beauty Killer album article (which had been deleted and protected last May) to make it more suitable for Misplaced Pages. You can find a draft of it here (told where to put it by other admins). I hope it is suitable for the article to be recreated. Thank you. Dark Horse King (talk) 15:16, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

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.

I tried to create the above category and received this warning message: "The page title or edit you have tried to create has been restricted to administrators at this time. It matches an entry on the local or global blacklists, which is usually used to prevent vandalism." I'm guess it is because of the font used in ℃, but I am just trying to follow the practice of the category name matching that of the main article (℃-ute). Should the article name be changed or can this category be created with adminstrator assistance? Thanks. --Wolfer68 (talk) 15:21, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

My guess is that you are trying to add a link which is on the spam blacklist, either one which is on the local or global one. Otherwise there's nothing wrong with the page. -Royalguard11(T) 20:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Final Fantasy Versus XIII (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection. Recent IP vandalism in history. TaerkastUA (talk) 20:19, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. --JForget 21:15, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection - Vandalism: This film article has been semi-protected before for 3 days, and the last protection ended on the 1st July, the exact day this film was released in at least 3 countries (US, Singapore, Australia). However, it seems that this film will be released later on 4th July in Europe, and it could be due to this fact that it is, and will be facing a lot of vandalism and unconstructive edits from anonymous users. I request that this article be protected for a longer period of time, after having to add back content which was removed by anonymous users. This problem went away during the last protection which lasted 3 days, and came back after it ended. --MrJacky (talk) 11:18, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. --JForget 21:20, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Milhouse Van Houten (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Continuous addition of "Milhouse meme" nonsense, principally by IP editors; a temporary semi-protect (say 1 month) should help stabilize the article. McDoobAU93 (talk) 14:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Women's rights/archives/2006-2008 (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, Archive of talk page that has PP due to persistent vandalism. Will likely require PP as no further editing is needed due to this being an archive. Rmosler | ● 17:18, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Xymmax _{So let it be done} 12:54, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Total Drama, The Musical (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect. Article was semi-protected for one week due to IP vandalism. It began again immediately upon that protection expiring. Ask that it be semi-protected for one year or until the end of the series, whichever comes later, as is the case with Total Drama Action. BlueSquadronRaven 14:01, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Declined, 2 vandals since the page was locked, the other edits aren't vandalism. It's worth keeping an eye on though, and worth relisting if things get worse. Xymmax _{So let it be done} 12:38, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

PlayStation 3 system software (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect. Non-registered IPs changing release dates, idirect 3RR break (4 out of last 5 edits have been date change and revert), occurs every time an update comes out. I Have suggested using UTC and therefore the UK site as date source but needs protecting until concensus is reached. chocobogamer mine 00:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Nja 08:47, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection requested because of media attention resulting in an edit war that isn't stopping after requests LjL (talk) 22:42, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Not sure this one merits protection just yet, I have warned warring editors on 3RR but since they have only now been properly warned there isn't enough of a dispute for full protection nor enough drive by vandalism or BLP issues for semi protection. I will watch it though and if it continues it can certainly be protected. Mfield (Oi!) 01:18, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I was thinking about withdrawing this request myself, as now one of the more problematic editors has showed up on the talk page and proved slightly more reasonable that it appeared from the edits, so the edit war might hopefull stop all by itself. Thanks for looking. LjL (talk) 01:28, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Declined Editors have been encouraged to seek dispute resolution and to mind the 3RR rule. Nja 08:59, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
