Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 09:31, 8 August 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

Provisional IRA campaign 1969–1997 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite full protection dispute, Essentially the same dispute between the same editors that had occurred at Provisional Irish Republican Army yesterday (which lead to full protection by myself) is now raging on this page. I suggest full protection to get all parties involved to actually come to consensus on this multi-article issue once and for all. I'd do it, but rather have fresh eyes on both articles as I've been attacked since my protection of the other page yesterday. Thanks. Nja 09:31, 8 August 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.

Risks to civilization, humans and planet Earth (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotection, I'm not completely sure if it is move protected, but I can't find the move button. The article name is missing a comma, and I wanted to fix it. Abce2|Aww nuts!Wribbit!(Sign here) 16:10, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Declined It is move protected, but please discuss the move on the talk page first. Please also archive or set up autoarchiving on the talk page if you know how. tedder (talk) 18:39, 6 August 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.

Fulfilled/denied requests

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

Temporary semi-protection: High amounts of IP vandalism within the past two weeks. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 02:51, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. tedder (talk) 02:53, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

2009 Collier Township shooting (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Requesting "move" protection. This article has been bounced around far too much, and several times the edit history has been lost due to improper moves. At present, User:decltype has repaired the damage, but the moves have to be halted until some consensus has been reached on the name. I would do the protection myself, but as I was the creator of the article, and I am actively editing it - it would be improper for me to use my "admin tools" which could be seen as a COI. I request a 3-day to a week move protection until some consensus can be reached. I'll initiate an RFC shortly. — Ched :  ?  02:35, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Move protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. tedder (talk) 02:39, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
