Requests for page protection | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
This page is for requesting that a page, file or template be protected. Please read up on 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 only 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, the protection is listed in the page history and logs with a short description indicating why it was protected, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. Further discussion should take place on the Talk page of the article. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins do not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism. Note: Editors should not consider requesting page protection as a method for continuing an argument from elsewhere nor as a venue for starting a new discussion regarding article content. If a request contains excessive argument, appears to be intended to resolve a content dispute, includes personal attacks or uncivil comments, or has any other unrelated discussion, it will be removed from this page and no action will be taken.

- Trying to remove WP:BLP violations isn't disruptive. Speculating on her passport and birth certificate information is not encyclopedic nor is it generally appropriate, in addition to everything else I said 92.10.13.209 (talk) 00:26, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

The Hundred and One Dalmatians
- The Hundred and One Dalmatians (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: Unnecessary indefinite protection placed since 2010. Had to be unprotected long ago. Protecting admin is inactive for 8 years. Orientls (talk) 07:14, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- This was a Bambifan101 target and protection was very necessary at the time. But is Bambifan101 still active? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 10:23, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

- Jamie Flatters (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: I believe the subject now passes WP:NACTOR based on roles he's gotten since the article was salted in 2016. Draft:Jamie Flatters has been in the works. Starklinson (talk) 08:46, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Josh Hart (racer)
- Josh Hart (racer) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: I edit pages of race car drivers and events. Just saw this pag was protected and unsure why. It needs some edits as details are outdated like his sponsors and race results. Nhraeditor (talk) 17:21, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
- Filer is an autocon-buster; I suspect they're another one of the sockfarm that's been plaguing this article. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 18:25, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Gamergate (harassment campaign)
- Talk:Gamergate (harassment campaign) (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)
Please add the following comment to the recent move request.
- Comment: Some users such as GorillaWarfare claimed that harassment campaign is not the primary topic. However, harassment campaign page has 10x more views compared to ant page. It also has educational value, because it teaches us about the misogynistic deeds other people committed and shows us how to take lessons from it. All these evidence indicate that harassment campaign is the primary topic. Accordingly, I disagree with their opinion. Madame Necker (talk) 23:08, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Bluntly speaking, this argument is like to do far more harm than good to your position. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 23:09, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Okay, I will modify my argument. Madame Necker (talk) 23:11, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- To be more specific, the "more pageviews" argument is a good one. It's the "It also has educational value..." sentence that would be the problematic bit, as that sounds like your goal is to use the article for some sort of advocacy. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 23:12, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice. I will change and repost it. Madame Necker (talk) 23:14, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Please add the following comment to the recent move request.
- Comment: Some users such as GorillaWarfare claimed that harassment campaign is not the primary topic. However, harassment campaign page has 10x more views compared to ant page. Aquillion pointed out that move might cause problems with recentism. However, WP:DPT states that "...historical age is not determinative" when identifying the primary topic. I also think that the general audience would be more interested in the internet campaign compared to the ant species, which would attract the specific audience of biology enthusiasts. Ant species has more educational value compared to the internet campaign, but I think the other factors —particularly overwhelmingly more pageviews and appeal to general audience— outweigh it. Accordingly, I disagree with their opinion.--Madame Necker (talk) 23:29, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
