Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:48, 5 December 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

Ways of Seeing (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Article targeted by 24 (so far) accounts, adding substantial unreferenced material. I've attempted to communicate to all involved accounts, with no response. I've reverted once, but do not want to get into an edit war with an entire class (as this might be). Also see companion WP:AN/I thread. --Hammersoft (talk) 22:48, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – User talk:Fresh nu start is failing to adhere to repeated requests to not add iTunes per a discussion at Talk:Trouble (Leona Lewis song).

Indefinite pending changes: Consistent addition of premature or unsourced material. —cyberpower _{Limited Access} 13:50, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

• Pending changes should only be used for unambiguously inappropriate additions such as vandalism, BLP, or copyright violations. Violations of other core content policies should not be handled with PC. Semiprotection is more appropriate. Gigs (talk) 20:54, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Frequent unexplained changes by IP editors. Davidelit (Talk) 05:42, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

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

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Hi there is a dispute going on at Talk:Glassheart about the use of iTunes in the release history. Two clear examples have been given as to why iTunes should not be used but a certain editor will not back down despite being asked not to re-add iTunes until the dispute is resolved. . — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 22:36, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

if the user adds back information from iTunes, an page-protecting admin should remove that before protecting the page as per the discussion at the article's page it is not supported by consensus. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 22:40, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Don't ask admins to take a side in a content dispute. You can have one or the other, but it would not be appropriate for an admin to take a side in the dispute and then use their admin tools to act in the interest of that position. See WP:INVOLVED. I would again suggest to you that protection is not the right avenue for dealing with this issue, but will leave this request for another admin to review.

User:NE Ent/sandbox (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Pending change protection So I can figure out how it works without screwing up a real page. NE Ent 19:26, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Question: Good idea, but I'm not sure that pending changes can be enabled on userspace. It's not giving me an option to do that when I click protect on your sandbox. Sorry! Mark Arsten (talk) 19:30, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

 Comment:: Why not try one of the Pending Changes test pages? Vacation 19:42, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Declined Cause I didn't know they existed ... was searching for "sandbox" -- since when do we name test pages "Testing"??? geez NE Ent 20:00, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Agreed, maybe Sandbox would have made more sense. Vacation 20:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

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

Indefinite semi-protection: Inappropriate use of user talk page while blocked – Blanking talk page while blocked for socking. GSK ● ✉ ✓ 18:39, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Declined they only did it once, and you have not actually explained to them why we do not allow that. Also, if they persist re-blocking without TP access is a more appropriate response. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:46, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Bad Girls Club (season 1) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Bad Girls Club (season 2) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and Bad Girls Club (season 4) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection: These articles has been vandalized frequently. One user in particular (Junebea1 (talk · contribs) mass reverts these articles even undoing edits that are beneficial to article. Already spoken to him/her about this, but I was ignored, which I was expecting, User talk:Junebea1#Your mass reverting of the Bad Girls Club season articles. Semi-protection is the best option at this point, as other Bad Girls Club season articles are currently semi-protected as well. QuasyBoy (talk) 23:48, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. The user you are trying to prevent from editing would not be stopped by semi-protection as they are autocomfirmed. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:53, 5 December 2012 (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.

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.
