Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 06:15, 26 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

  • That's not a spambot. It's just someone having linked to a revision and telling friends to press save as much as possible.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:20, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Persistent vandalism as I speak on the page. Adding of pornographic literature. MuZemike 01:02, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Declined two instances of vandalism in an hour is not persistent vandalism and does not warrant protection.·Maunus·ƛ· 01:13, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Big Brother 11 (U.S.) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Once the block lifted, there were numerous childish edits. Although there were some good edits, it is hard to keep track of them as this is a current hit show. The show ends the 15th, so I think the 22nd is a good ending in order for the article to be cleaned up sans vandalism. –túrian 23:56, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I do see what you're driving at, but I don't think the ip edits are disruptive enough for protection at this moment. I'm not taking bets about the future, though. Xymmax _{So let it be done} 02:52, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Glenn Martin, DDS (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection, User 71.31.61.65 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) is posting nonsense. It's being hit by other anonymous vandals. It's supposed to be a kid's show and it's new so it's catching this kind of stuff.Americasroof (talk) 20:30, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

P.S. I hope this applies to talk page also. The vandal is posting nonsense there also. Americasroof (talk) 20:37, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. — Kralizec! (talk) 20:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I thought I saw you also semi-protected the talk page too. But the vandal is continuing to post there. Thanks again. Americasroof (talk) 00:28, 26 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.

Boys Over Flowers (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Protected due to an edit war involving four editors. One of the editors has responded to a request, commenting once, but ze has ignored further requests for involvement, continuing to edit elsewhere. Another editor has ignored multiple requests for involvement altogether, while editing elsewhere. The two remaining editors have formed a consensus. Please unprotect the page. Whatever404 (talk) 20:13, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Not unprotected I would prefer to give it a couple of more days just to make sure that the other two editors really have dropped out of the discussion. — Kralizec! (talk) 20:48, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Protected for unknown reasons. The artist has an album coming out September 8th, 2009, he has hosted Radio Disney's top 30 countdown, will have a 2 hour takeover on Radio Disney on August 26th, 2009. Additionally, he has appeared in Seventeen Magazine in the June 2009 issue, Seventeen.com, and The Daily Buzz - a nationally syndicated morning talk show in the CW network. Furthermore, he is listed as notable artists on the Universal Record and Universal Motown wiki pages. We do not know why his notability and achievements have yet to impress an admin. It certainly has been established with the radio play, TV, print, and online presence Please unprotect the page.Adamlarue (talk) 22:26, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Not unprotected Dravecky (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) only protected the article from creation through the 28th. Please either ask him, or better yet, ensure that you have an article ready - perhaps one you write in your user space - that shows notability so that it won't get deleted again. Xymmax _{So let it be done} 03:04, 26 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.

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

Edit to remove wp:blp violation. Just prior to full protection, contentious, poorly sourced opinion was reinserted by an editor following the expiry of his 48h block for retaliatory edits to and edit warring on the article. Please see Talk:Carly Fiorina#editprotected for the content that needs to be removed unless and until it can be proven as notable and reliably sourced. Thanks! user:J aka justen (talk) 21:24, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection He was found and he might have killed his wife. As you expect this is being badly vandalized by ips. Richard (talk) 23:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Maunus ·Maunus·ƛ· 00:05, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

User:CobraGeek (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary full-protection vandalism by sock puppets of banned user User:ViperNerd. Was recently semi-protected, but now socks are working around autoconfirmed status to continue harassment on user page. MuZemike 23:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Question: Have you talked to CobraGeek about it? This will mean that he can't edit his own user page. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:13, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Vulnerable to BLP issues; had been semi-protected before. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 22:30, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Cirt (talk) 23:02, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary full protection An WP:SPA account (Wikiwiki1228 (talk · contribs)) with no other edits than to David Litman, insists on changing this redirect to an Unsourced BLP in violation of WP:BLP. This has been going on since 10th of August. I would protect the page myself, however I and a few others have been involved in reverting it back to the appropriate redirect. thanks--Hu12 (talk) 22:10, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Cirt (talk) 23:01, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

The Devil Wears Prada (band) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, The article is still being vandalized after already being protected for a week - there's much vandalism -- lots of varied things and hidden comments stating not to write things are being ignored. GunMetal Angel 21:38, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Cirt (talk) 22:59, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Indefinite create-protection, Recreated after an AfD where salting was mentioned and recreated and speedied five times before that. ThemFromSpace 20:37, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Creation protected — Kralizec! (talk) 20:44, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

The X Factor (UK series 6) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection for 3 months. For those unaware, this is Britian's answer to American Idol and the level of interest is huge. The programme runs until the week before Christmas, but I think that a request for 4 months is probably pushing it. Just today we've had 5 counts of addition of speculation and point of view from IPs. DJ 19:42, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. — Kralizec! (talk) 20:08, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Why has this been protected for just 2 weeks, whereas Roblox has been protected for 3 months? DJ 20:16, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Because this is the eighth time Roblox has needed to be protected, while only the second for The X Factor? — Kralizec! (talk) 20:22, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

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

GA, semi-protected July 2008 because of persistent but low-level IP vandalism. No serious issues in recent edits. Protecting Admin (Gonzo fan2007) is no longer around to ask to unprotect it. --tlesher (talk) 15:33, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

User:CobraGeek (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, Requesting indefinite semi-protection due to userspace vandalism by sock of User:ViperNerd. User Talk:CobraGeek was recently protected so vandalism has moved to my user page. Cheers!. CobraGeek 16:58, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Indefinite semi-protection. This page is persistently edited by POV-pushing fans of his, and I have fixed this article up at least three times so far. They add statements like "fondly called 'mega star' by his millions of fans" in the lead paragraph, "his films rarely flop", "he's a family man", "this film was a super hit", so on, so on... despite my several comments on the talk page which warn them not to add peacock or POV statements or unsourced statements at all to a BLP. I can guarantee that if you semi-protect this article temporarily, it will return to the state it was before I cleaned it within a week after the protection lifts. Please protect it indefinitely. GSMR (talk) 15:32, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

• I would like to endorse the above - attempting to forge a decent article here is a nightmare.  pablo_hablo. 15:50, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Thanks for your concerns, but the last 50 edits range to August 2; basically, there are two edits a day. That's still controllable by reversion and copyediting. If vandalism worsens, feel free to re-report. Cheers, Master of Puppets - _{Call me MoP! :D} 17:07, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
