Ompalompa83: But the band has been subject to coverage in reliable sources, see for instance the following: http://allscandinavian.com/7976/house-by-the-lake-dark-horse/ http://thefourohfive.com/news/article/house-by-the-lake-national-park http://www.nrk.no/urort/Artist/theHousebyTheLake/default.aspx' http://www.musicstories.lv/2011/11/house-by-lake-redwood-video-wedding.html

Question

This is not at all a criticism of you, rather that I want to get this down better myself. On Garnet you denied a RfPP request of mine, the page has had all nonconstructive edits, quite a few within the last month. Looking back through history, every edit from an IP or new user (so essentially every edit in the past couple of months) has been reverted. Would this be something that PC is better suited for? I guess what I'm asking is, how many nonconstructive edits in what period of time is needed for protection? Thanks! Kharkiv07 ^Talk 23:23, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We try to be very restrictive of when we use protection as it goes against on of the basic ideas on wikipedia, that anyone can edit. Semi-protection is usually reserved for stopping a recent influx in disruption or for articles that are an inherit magnet for vandals. It is however not used to stop a tricle of vandal edits over months. The best way to stop that is regular RC-patrol and watchlisting. Rettetast (talk) 10:27, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

9/11 Truth movement

That article, as well as any other 9-11 page should probably be semi-protected indefinitely. Lots of people wanting to add fringe opinions to those pages, or wanting to vandalize them. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 12:15, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Protection should be used sparingly. Regular editing should suffice for that page. Rettetast (talk) 12:21, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SICILY VANDALISM

Greeatings...Why he has protected the page ... this is censorship. The user uses a language outside the regulations of wikipedia .. is able to give an explanation for all this? What's going on? Users who insult with his excessive violent are privileged clients [1] ... what kind of intervention? We eliminate the culture?--151.46.204.93 (talk) 18:40, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

FSU alternate text logo

Rettetast, what are the approved free-use Florida State text logos/word marks? I work mostly on articles about Florida Gators sports teams (Florida State's principal rivals), and I am familiar with the free-use word marks for the Gators, but not the Seminoles.

Hi. What excact image are you refering to. I removed a bunch of images that did not have a rationale for articles it was used in. I don't edit wikipedia very much anymore, but I am logged in regularly and may go on an editing spree when I have the time. Like last weekend at easter:-) Rettetast (talk) 13:16, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Gonzaga Alternate Logo and VCU Rams

Hello there!

I noticed that you commented out the File:Gonzaga Alternate Logo.png and File:VCU Rams Old Wordmark.png on the Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball and VCU Rams men's basketball yearly pages. I was very confused why you would comment these out in the first place, and to say that there was "no rationale use" for the images was rather silly.

Since you are from Norway, I do not think you understand college basketball in the United States, specifically the logos of each team. The images of Gonzaga and VCU represent the logos of those schools based on that season they competed. In that case, there is rationale use for those images, because they represent the logo of that school. If that isn't rationale, I do not know what is.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or comments, but understand it was not the right decision to say there was "no rationale use" for those images and put it up for speedy deletion.

Thanks! --Albino Geronimo (talk) 08:13, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
