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.

P.S. You may want to update that "semi-retired" template at the top of your user page. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:45, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
