Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 15:33, 21 June 2012

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

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – recent release of porn video has spurred alot of additions of this info that are beyond the amount of coverage necessary and/or based on unreliable rumor sites and gossip columns. Been being discussed on talk page for a while, and well sourced and moderate statement about it added to the article per consensus, but tons of new editors are continuing to add material that may not be appropriate. Temporary protection to get through the recent release of the video might be appropriate. . — raekyt 11:21, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection. There's been some edit warring over this article from its inception, but since it was taken to AfD there's been repeated removals of the AfD templates and statements like "so and so is a troll, this is harassment" and "it's no use deleting it, cos our master isn't interested in wikipedia thing and we will rewrite the article in the future. you're useless". I'm requesting full protection because this looks like it's going to be a rather regular thing. If it's deleted, I'd like this to be protected against re-creation.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:16, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: An IP sock of banned user:Babasalichai has arrived and is heavily editing the article, trying to turn it into a promotional puff piece.

General Joseph Colton (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: The article was fully protected until a couple days ago. As soon as the protection expired, IP editors resumed adding the information that caused the protection in the first place. These IP editors are clearly sockpuppets of the editor who was causing problems on the article before. See Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/JHerbertMunster for more information.

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.

UFC 148 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotection: The page that I am requesting for unprotection is actually a REDIRECT PAGE. Here is the link to that page: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=UFC_148&redirect=no I went to DRV and it was decided by an admin that I should move my UFC 148 stand-alone article from my sandbox to mainspace. Here is the link to the deletion review decision: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2012_June_5 The problem I have is that the current page "UFC 148" is being taken up by that protected redirect page that I posted the link to above. I'd also like to ask for unprotection for another redirect page "UFC 148: Silva vs. Sonnen II" so that I can get that to redirect to "UFC 148" instead of the "2012 in UFC events" summary article that it currently redirects to. Thanks.  Gamezero05  talk  23:53, 20 June 2012 (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.
