===={{la|FC Barcelona}}====
I would like to make a request for some sort of mediation/page protection at the [[FC Barcelona]] article. The issue is basicly about [[article size]]. In order to keep the article within Wikipedia guidelines on length, several other articles have been created and are linked together in {{cl|FC Barcelona}}. However an anonymous editor has ignored my suggestions to add contributions to other articles rather then the main article. He has persistently overloaded the page with info that is included in other articles and refuses to engage in any debate or log-in. --[[User:Djln|Djln]] --[[User:Djln|Djln]] 20:46, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

===={{lut|GoldToeMarionette}}====
Please unprotect [[User:GoldToeMarionette]]'s talk page since the RfAr concerning the account validated that no policy violation occurred which warranted the block or page protection in the first place [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/PoolGuy/Proposed_decision].

::Samir, the account was inappropriately blocked. The above linked RfAr just closed and confirmed that to be the case. I am also requesting the account to be unblocked, but can't do it on the user talk page because it is protected. This request was removed last night by Admin pgk who is pursuing me and can't accept the result of the RfAr because it proved his falsehoods wrong. I am sorry he removed it before I had a chance to respond to your inquiry. I would be happy to answer more questions, but it should be clear in the RfAr under my evidence. Thanks for taking the time to look at this. It is appreciated. [[User:PoolGuy|PoolGuy]] 04:09, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

===={{la|Bae Yong Joon}}====
'''Semi-protection'''. Second request, due to revert war casued by [[User:Fabshelly]] and several annoyomous IDs, inspired by article written by Koh [http://www.baeyongjune.com/zboard/zboard.php?id=news_latest&page=1&category=&sn=off&ss=on&sc=on&keyword=wikipedia&select_arrange=headnum&desc=asc&no=1581] on wikipedia. Controversy is similar to those of [[Marty Meehan]].

[[User:Fabshelly]] has so far violated policies and guidelines in varying degrees: [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]], which is an official policy, ignorance of [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources]], [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons]] and [[Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view]]. If failing to abide by these laws despite being informed, it would be considered as [[Wikipedia:Vandalism]]. Although Fabshelly as so far made no signs of making these law-violating edits, other ID users such as this [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Bae_Yong_Joon&diff=59950785&oldid=59938742] have made attempts.

As for me, while Fabshelly has accused me of posting false information on [[Talk:Bae Yong Joon]], I have already patched up by adding essential citations to my contributions in accordance to the standardised guideline of [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources]]. Thus there should be no more reason to why my contributions be eliminated repeatedly despite abiding all the above laws in Good Faith.

Thus semi-protection, as least temporary, is needed to end the revert war caused by violations of wikipedia laws. Wikipedia's guidelines, especially [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Official policies]], are something which all users must abide with in order to be in wikipedia. I hereby appeal to admins to at least seriously consider this request and thoroughly investigate and end this contention. [[User:Mr Tan|Mr Tan]] 07:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Latest revision as of 07:43, 23 December 2024

    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

    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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here



    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

    Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


    Reason: People have re-ordered the ranking of Barbie versus The Super Mario Bros. Movie, adjusted the gross numbers for various movies so that they're inconsistent with all of:

    • The Numbers
    • Box Office Mojo
    • the mean of the two figures reported by those sources, and/or
    • the Wikipedia pages

    and removed the Chinese movies from the list entirely.

    Clearly this is vandalism. Vonvorx (talk) 07:30, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Vbbanaz05 (talk) 09:29, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Edit war initiated by IP user BlameRuiner (talk) 12:46, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: WP:ARBPIA Isi96 (talk) 14:07, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    DeclinedPages are not protected preemptively. No edits this month. El_C 14:27, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: IPs repeatedly putting large test edits on the talkpage. The Banner talk 14:16, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism: Edit war initiated by IP user. Astro Alpha Plus (talk) 14:43, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    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.

    Reason: Protection is too high and it was for sockpuppetry in 2018. It's nearly 2025 now so if it needs protecting just do pending changes or semi-protection but unprotection would be better I think. 147.10.234.99 (talk) 23:19, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Pinging protecting admin User:Ponyo, who might or might not wish to have input. I looked at the history of disruption and it looks pretty bad. I'm inclined to give semi protection a shot (this would eliminate 95% of the disruption in page history), but I'd rather hear from the sysop who made the call first.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    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 Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia: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.
