Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 15:15, 18 August 2009

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

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

Indefinite semi-protection vandalism, Same vandal since March 2007 from San Diego. Most vandalism regarding details of marraige breakup. A slow burn tactic, where every week or so the vandal returns and in the past year has involved the same edit over and over. Since it only ever occurs from anon IP editors, can this article be protected so that only established editors can edit this article. HighKing (talk) 15:07, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. — Kralizec! (talk) 15:13, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection, at least 6 months. Major vandalism by IP's and new users. Was semi-protected for one day (not to long ago), vandalism immediately started again. Huge amounts of vandalism, not one contributive or constructive edit by IP user. Alxeedo TALK

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Two vandals in the past four days is not enough to warrant protection. — Kralizec! (talk) 15:15, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Semi-protection, 1 week. Featured article. Steady recent IP vandalism. –Moondyne 14:18, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protection. On the surface, seems to be an IP edit war... - Drew Smith What I've done 14:01, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protection. Vandalism– Frequently warned and blocked IP user 98.15.137.71 (talk) continues to delete referenced entries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paine Ellsworth (talk • contribs)

User(s) blocked. Next time just report the IP to WP:AIV. Chronic repeat offender. That IP won't be bothering us for a while. Enigma 13:50, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey, Slavs (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary Full Protection. Heavy edit warring and pov pushing by several editors. Would protect it myself but am leaving for vacation. ---Eleassar 08:19, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Fully protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. _TalkIslander 11:29, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary Full Protection. Removed irrelevant comments from this request. Page is subject to an ongoing edit war, involving socks, IPs, autoconfirmed users, you name it. Previously fully protected to attempt to bring about WP:DR. No attempts at WP:DR have been made, so it seems like some outside intervention may be needed. Requesting full protection while this dispute is mediated (I volunteer to help mediate). Vicenarian 07:36, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Fully protected, but I deliberately did not append an expiry date. When the dispute's resolved to the satisfaction of all parties participating in good faith in the dispute resolution process, return here for unprotection. -Jeremy 09:44, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Celtic F.C. (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection, vandalism. Multiple anonymous users have persistently vandalized the page. 71.71.36.8 (talk) 00:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary Fully Protection User(s) keep reverting a section on pseudo-health benefits by including poor and unverifiable references, fake news links, insufficient research, etc. This is/was also happening on the Semen page (which is protected). Margaridas (talk) 21:00, 17 August 2009 (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.

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

Unprotection requested. The actor's first film is on verge of releasing and he has since gone on to sign another prestigious project. Universal Hero (talk) 12:07, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Unprotected. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 16:36, 17 August 2009 (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.

Temporary semi-protection Heavy vandalism from ips for several days now. Richard (talk) 05:17, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of two weeks. Tiptoety 05:20, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection. It is the 3,000,000 article and has recieved a lot of IP vandalism because of that • S • C • A • R • C • E • 02:24, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Note: I had followed that link to see the article & saw the IP problem; however, given the "anyone can edit" and high profile of the article right now, I'm really on the fence on protecting this one, sending the wrong message? Yep, there's IP vandalism, but balancing that against other concerns...? Just my 2 cents; passing that on to other admins for their consideration. Skier Dude (talk) 02:30, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I concur with that assessment. Again, I will not object or wheel war if someone DOES protect it, but being a high-profile article, it is also a highly WATCHED article, and the level of vandalism it is receiving is not unlike that received by a TFA... We should probably handle it like we would the TFA; i.e. revert quickly as needed but avoid protecting if at all possible. --Jayron32 03:13, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Already protected. --RegentsPark (sticks and stones) 04:31, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Enigma 05:12, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

2004 NFL Draft (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary Semi-protection' Hey this article has been badly vandalized by ips on august 17. Richard (talk) 03:29, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Declined - the vandalism was only heavy for an hour or so this afternoon, and the article's been quiet for a bit; it looks like they've stopped. Feel free to re-report if the vandalism starts up again. AlexiusHoratius 03:47, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protect High level of IP vandalism, It was constantly vandalized during the last week.--Mikej007 (talk) 01:39, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Declined It does not look like the vandalism is continuing. Thank you for cleaning up the damage, but the level of vandalism does not seem to warrent protection at this time. Should the vandalism fire up again, and become unmanagable, please consider renominating for protection. Jayron32 02:12, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

It was vandalised 6 times, last 3 days. I think we should put at least temporary semi-protection.--Mikej007 (talk) 02:28, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

6 times in 3 days is not an unmanagable level of vandalism, given that the article was quiet for months before. When the vandalism reaches the level of dozens of vandalisms in a short time, it may be more appropriate, but 6 vandalisms over 3 days can easily be managed by reverting. --Jayron32 04:00, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Template:Sex and the law (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

semi-protection high-visiblity template. Martin451 (talk) 01:59, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection, vandalism. This page has been vandalised at least 3 times within the last 24 hours and at least 8 or 9 times within the last week. Vandals are doing things like mucking up the cast list and making pointless edits like "Neighbours is the best!" All the vandalism is coming from anonymous IP addresses which are proving hard to trace. --5 albert square (talk) 01:23, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Temporary Fully Protection - the IP adress forces to add this arcticle to Category:Homofobia. It would be a not neutral classification, so article should be temporaly protected to block his attempts. Andrew₁₈ 20:30, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, I really do not want to have to request page protection for this article since it's NFL preseason time, but this article seems to have been receiving a lot of abuse from new and/or anonymous users since August 15, 2009. Some of the vandalism edits were obviously influenced by the Eagles' controversial signing of Michael Vick. . SoCalSuperEagle (talk) 19:12, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
