Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 02:53, 29 March 2015

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

Death of Lee Kuan Yew (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Requesting protection on 29 March 2015 during his state funeral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StandNThrow (talk • contribs)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Feel free to re-request if there's a demonstrated need for protection. Swarm 02:52, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Economy of the United States (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite Semi-Protection: Persistent vandalism. This concerns a recent barrage of edits of an unsourced/contrary-to-source nature by IP editor. These edits mostly pertain to the infobox, where the IP insists on inserting nonsensical GDP data cited (but unsourced) as "Department of Defence" but contrary to existing BEA source. This includes full-year 2015 projections, when Q1 2015 data hasn't even been published.

Another registered editor has already noticed these edits, and attempted to intervene but with no success. It's safe to say the IP (located in the U.K.) won't stop until the article is semi-protected. Thanks. Nononsenseplease (talk) 01:24, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Swarm 01:39, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: New users shouldn't be able to shut off a bot. Gparyani (talk) 00:14, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Declined Anomie is an admin and if he feels it needs to be protected, he can enable it. I'll also note that there hasn't been any vandalism since it was created. Mike V • Talk 01:22, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

(ec) I was about to say the same - for most of his bots' opt-out pages there is no protection enabled. Thehelpfulone 01:25, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

• 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.
