Template:Undo (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite template protection: Highly visible template – Template:Diff is fully protected and this template is based on {{Diff}} with an intended use of the same faction. Do to the fact that this template is intended to create an undo link that would actually change a page rather than just display a certain revisions contents, I would think it to be at a higher risk than its counterpart. I'm requesting a maximum of TE protection at this time to allow me time to do some more thorough sandbox and testcases testing. Upon completion of that testing, I will request full protection to match that of {{Diff}} or I will request {{Diff}} be lowered to TE (which may be more appropriate). Thank you. Technical 13 (talk) 02:08, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The article was protected because one editor edit warred to remove massive amounts of content, against the objections of four other editors. There is a clear consensus (except for the original edit waring editor) on the talk page to restore the content that was removed. Page protection is not necessary when there is only a single editor acting against consensus.

On the talk page discussion, there seem to be three camps: one editor who believes the material and the article should be deleted; two editors who want the article deleted, but have not explicitly commented on the appropriateness of the 28,430 bytes of removed content; and ten editors who have asserted that the content should remain and that it conforms to our policies.

I have followed process by asking the original page protecting admin. They responded "if a consensus does emerge that the page should be unprotected/reverted, please ping an admin to do that and point them towards this posting as a reason that I can't do so."

Thank you.- MrX 15:57, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent sockpuppetry. I'm sick to fucking death of having to request semi-protection on this,

Comment There was just one sock (SelfEvidentTruth) since the protection expired and they are already blocked now (courtesy of Barek). Hopefully that's enough for now, but even if not going from a 10-day protection to indef would be an overkill. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 02:52, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

With respect, Armbrust, I really don't think you're familiar with the history of the article. There have been well over 10 socks, possibly as high as 20; most of the others are listed under a different master. Indefinite semi-protection on a frequently vandalized BLP is not overkill, and it needs to happen - this defamation HAS to stop. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:00, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you're right, but IMO a 6-month semi should be tried before going indef (and even that is a very big jump). Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 11:20, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• I've been fighting sockpuppets and BLP violations on these articles since March of last year, and there are issues going further back than that. It needs to be locked down for good. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 12:30, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Also, it's nowhere near a jump from a 10-day protection; it's had a 3-month semi protection applied before. Which wasn't enough, as the vandalism started right back up again. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 12:32, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I think 2 months is a bit of a stretch but hopefully it'll convince them to leave it alone.

I request to protect the article against attempt to provoke an edit wars caused ideological positions of user. For example, user replaced the "soviet partisans" to "provocateurs NKVD". In particular, the user returns the number of tendentious assertions added anonymous in several projects. For this reason, in the Ukrainian Wikipedia is already a sharp conflict, where the requirements of the parties have already reach the open denial of the fact of the massacre.

I don't see an official protection request in the WP:RFPP archives, and it's important for the normal operation of the reference desks that IP users are allowed to post. There doesn't seem to be any major vandalism currently taking place. The protecting admin has been notified. Tevildo (talk) 21:40, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected Have another look at the page history, there is definitely some sockpuppetry and vandalism making semi-protection unfortunately necessary. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:42, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disappearance of Madeleine McCann (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The protecting admin stated: (Changed protection level of Disappearance of Madeleine McCann: Persistent vandalism ([Edit=Allow only autoconfirmed users] (indefinite) [Move=Block all non-admin users] (indefinite))).

This is absolutely not true. So far as I can see there was a content dispute which I guess has long since been resolved, but the article is now permanently unavailable to non-registered users. There was no vandalism. Can it please be unprotected. Thanks. 86.29.59.246 (talk) 16:38, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The IP is confused here, that is the most recent log entry, but it was actually the restoration of indefinite semi-protection after the expiry of temporary full protection on the article. It has been semi-protected since November 2010 in response to sock attacks, which is why there's no recent vandalism in the history. Mark Arsten (talk) 16:50, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. However, 3 to 4 years protection on this type of article is unwarranted, so I suggest it is unprotected and see what happens. 86.29.59.246 (talk) 19:04, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
