Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 17:14, 19 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

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Only one case of inappropriate editing since the last protection expired in April. For the time being, simply revert edits and warn users appropriately. Camaron | Chris (talk) 16:32, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Semi-Protect - To many vandals hitting the page almost daily and changing pictures. Please protect for couple weeks. Buddha24 (talk) 03:35, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of four months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Given that vandalism started up immediately after the previous semiprotection expired, I think it might be a good idea to go a little longer than a couple of weeks. Incidentally, the page remains fully protected against moves. --jonny-mt 13:08, 19 May 2008 (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.

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

No need for protection. Protection was improperly requested for the improper purpose of blocking one IP user and only one IP user from editing the article in a constructive manner. 199.125.109.57 (talk) 04:15, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Not unprotected Please discuss this with the protecting admin first and see what he has to say. In this case that is Jmlk17 (talk · contribs). Camaron | Chris (talk) 16:27, 19 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.

Semi-protection due to recent spikes in vandalism dealing with a high-profile topic. Happyme22 (talk) 06:08, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. Looking back through the logs, it seems that the recent "spike" in IP vandalism is simply due to the expiration of a three-month semi-protect. Given the number of previous protection attempts and the prominent position of the article both as a source for readers and as a target for vandals, I think this article is a prime candidate for indefinite semi-protection. Feel free to reevaluate my call either below or in the future. --jonny-mt 06:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection: This is a second request; this article has been vandalised by IP user 24.7.63.115 four times in the last 48 hours, and several unregistered IPs have also vandalised this article in a similar manner, with non-NPOV and slander against the subject. Rollosmokes (talk) 05:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Declined. I see edits from only two IP addresses (24.7.63.115 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 208.7.178.2 (talk · contribs · WHOIS)) this month. In cases like this, blocks are preferred over page protection. Although the recently added content does violate WP:BLP, it is not egregious enough to warrant an immediate block--instead, I've left a BLP warning for the most recent IP user on the assumption that they are not aware of the policy. Feel free to up the warning level fairly rapidly and report them to WP:AIV if they continue. --jonny-mt 06:34, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

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

long-term semi-protection IP Vandalism The subject is an alleged shortstop for the Red Sox and every time he blows another game, a dozen frustrated IP users who think they're clever make edits such as

Throws: Right Badly

This page should be semi-protected until either the team comes to their senses and makes Jed Lowrie the regular shortstop, or a miracle happens and Lugo plays like someone who deserves his $9 million salary. Ma_chups 03:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Declined Not much vandalism... Only one or two bad edits a day. We can keep up with that. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 03:58, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Thomas Grover Middle School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

indefinite semi-protection Vandalism, There has been very consistent IP vandalism, most likely to be students from the school.STYROFOAM1994Criticize! 02:37, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Declined 4-5 IP vandalisms in the past month is hardly "consistent". This one goes weeks without any vandalism. Hardly worth any protection. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 02:41, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

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

temporary semi-protection Vandalism, There has been consistent vandalism from new users and IP addresses recently.STYROFOAM1994Criticize! 02:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Declined there's just not enough vandalism to justify protection at this time. 1-2 vandalisms per day (and that's the most) is hardly a lot. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 02:33, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Detroit Red Wings (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

temporary semi-protection Vandalism, The Red Wings are in the later stages of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and as such are attracting IP vandalism. In addition, there are a few IPs engaged in an edit war over terminology despite a contrary consensus achieved in the Talk page. I recommend three weeks of semi-protection to cover the whole of the playoffs.TheMile (talk) 01:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Jayron32.talk.contribs 02:34, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Guitar Hero IV (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-Prot for about a month. IPs are adding their favorite bands/songs unverified to the article, as well as we have a case where a true news item (about Ted Nugent) doesn't (as yet) apply to this specific game, the only source doesn't name this game specifically. Keep prot on for a month to hopefully cool down those types of edits. (Would do myself but I'm an involved admin, so cannot). --MASEM 23:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--JForget 00:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protection. Frequent vandalism from anonymous editors.Aparhizi (talk) 23:04, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Declined There is only about an average of 1 vandalism edit over the past 3 days. There not sufficient activity for the moment to semi-protect the page for now.--JForget 00:34, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
