This talk page is not for request for page protection or unprotection. If you want to request administrator actions, do so on the page itself instead.

I want the page protected, but the "Article" page where I ought to be placing my request is written in a foreign language, and I cannot figure out what I am supposed to do to make that report. The reason I want it protected is that I am fed up of having to remove stuff about taxidermy buffaloes that IP's and Alex fans have been inserting into the article for a long long time (years not months). Restricting editing was requested in the past, but I cannot remember why protection was refused. Comments? (not about my lack of wikiskill) please. Thanks. -Roxy the dog™ (resonate) 19:50, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

My thanks to Marnette D who has filed my request, in less time than I took to write the above sentence I might add! -Roxy the dog™ (resonate) 20:04, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

(edit conflict)I am not sure what you are talking about in regards to a foreign language Roxy the dog. Request for page protection are made on the main page here Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection#Current requests for increase in protection level. Compared to AFD's and the like the process is fairly straightforward. I have taken the liberty of filing the request for you. As I do not know the history of any problems in dealing with the article I can't say whether protection will occur or not. Please check on the request from time to time to see what the outcome is. FYI your post came before I could finish this Roxy so you will already have noticed some of what I mention. Cheers MarnetteD|Talk 20:08, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Sorry Marnette, and again thanks. When I wrote foreign, perhaps I should have written "I only want to ask for protection, but my 58 yr old eyes just glazed over at trying to figure out yet more complicated instructions here that include heiroglyphics that mean nothing to me, all I want is some page protection at Alex Hirsch. For background, he's a writer of TV shows of some sort, and has encouraged his fans to vandalise the page, by posting stuff at Redditt. -Roxy the dog™ (resonate) 20:20, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Big Brother Canada (season 3)

This article was fully protected after several users and IPs engaged in content disputes. Since the protection, the show has progressed (airing three nights a week) and the current page does not reflect its cast members current positions in the show. This has brought the attention of several users and IPs who continue to take to the page and request that the article be updated in accordance to the show; one has tried reaching out to me on my talk page. I am not an admin but its been some time since the first request by an IP and currently no edits have been made, despite the general consensus. I understand that admins are not robots and cannot tackle a task right there and then but if anyone is wiling to help me and other readers who are very much invested in this show, can you please take a look and help us out? Thanks, jona 19:13, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

The problem with most of the requests is that they're basically entire article extensions and while it's helpful, it's not logical for any admin to blindly be able to replace the article with the requested version especially if they don't know anything about the show like was mentioned earlier on the talkpage. Anyway, if there's a content dispute, why is there little to no discussion regarding it? Lots of full article edit requests, very little discussion besides indignant fans angry they can't edit. tutterMouse (talk) 20:30, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

I see what you mean, but there is CloudKate's request that actually goes into detail about what should be updated; the rest of the requests have been hidden inside a collapsible template. Best, jona 14:03, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

It is detailed but also seems to involve very heavy duty template work which most wouldn't be upto doing unless they were certain about their changes which they can't be. The issue I had was with entire page replacement requsts, a section such as a template or table is fine if you detail what changes you made and possibly provide the changes too if they're complex. Like I said though, I'm not convinced the editwar is over because there's no discussion to that end and the protection expires on Friday so I can't see the immediate need for edits to be made when conflicts haven't been resolved. tutterMouse (talk) 16:16, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism and edit warring. TITUSIIX (talk) 14:21, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

I am seeking temporary protection of these two pages in response to the bullying behavior of . I am trying to populate these pages with factual, neutral and meaingful information but this user is preventing me from doing so. I am acting well within the limits of Misplaced Pages's policy but this user continues to accuse me of COI violations and I do not understand how that is possible. TITUSIIX (talk) 14:21, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

There is no "bullying" going on here by me. There is also no "high level of IP vandalism and edit warring" involved. I notified the editor what seemed to be very obvious Conflict of Interest editing and advised stopping but my advice was ignored. I then informed the other editor that I would be taking further action. I have already raised the other editor's behaviour on the ANI page. The editor is determined to pursue any way possible to circumvent any restrictions on COI-related editing - including leaving warnings on my talk page in order to intimidate. For an apparently "new" editor there seems to be a lot of extremely quickly acquired knowledge on how to do such things. It's all very suspicious. If it walks and talks like a duck ...
