===={{la|2008 Summer Olympics medal count}}====
'''full protection'''. Ongoing unconstructive edits. I'll just c/p from what I wrote on the talk page with slight edits:
Given the events of last night, in which everyone was adding and subtracting medals due to mass confusion, perhaps we should ask the admins to create designated editors to update the medal count and put the page on full protect.
Rationale:
*This page should only be updated a few times each day. There are 13 medal events on Day 3 of the Games; therefore, there should be 13 edits to the medal table. Any other edits are not constructive and, depending on the severity, could be considered vandalism. (Obviously, page formatting and stuff would be different; however, that stuff should be discussed on the talk page anyway.)
*The need to reliably disseminate accurate information is more important than letting any user edit in what they think is correct based on tape-delayed coverage, late reports, etc. A messed-up Olympic medal table reflects poorly on Wikipedia.
Feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have any questions. [[User:Kingnavland|Kingnavland]] ([[User talk:Kingnavland|talk]]) 20:43, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
:While I doubt it will happen, I certainly wouldn't mind if it was protected. Last night editors were updating the count without checking to see if it had been updated already, so we were having the same set of medals included 2 or 3 times. This is currently a high profile page and having so many errors on it has drawn complaints on the talk page and makes wikipedia look bad. On the other hand, full protection would mean that only admins would be able to edit it, and that would prevent the page's regular editors (such as myself) from tweaking it. -- [[User:Scorpion0422|Scorpion]]<sup>[[user talk:Scorpion0422|0422]]</sup> 20:50, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Agree, based on content volatility, redundant coverage, and the propensity for multiple counting based on same (at least until the Olympic Games have ended and updates are much less frequent). [[User:Dirc|Dirc]] ([[User talk:Dirc|talk]]) 21:00, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
:{{RFPP|d}} This is a wiki. Full protection would be punitive and accomplish little.

'''Unprotect'''. Transcribed from [[WP:ANI]]: I would like a review of the full-protection of [[September 11, 2001 attacks]]. [[User:El C]] protected it after [[User:Presumptive]] went on a spree of five reversions. He was finally [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3APresumptive&diff=230976496&oldid=230972609 blocked] for 12 hours to cool off. Then, another user, [[User:Fancy-cats-are-happy-cats]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=September_11,_2001_attacks&diff=230977954&oldid=230969194 reverted] an old edit by [[User:Aude]] and El C protected it, citing 10 reversions (including 3 by me). The issue, though, is these users claimed to be upholding "consensus" single-handedly in cases where they have not made a suitable argument. For example, Presumptive claims I never engaged in discussion and, so, his revisions were consensus by silence. But, I [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:September_11,_2001_attacks&diff=228318173&oldid=228316494 did] ask him how his versions could supercede [[WP:LEAD]] and he never responded. Fancy Cats [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Fancy-cats-are-happy-cats never] engaged in discussion on the talk page. Instead, he claimed to have 'consensus' somehow. As written in [[WP:PPOL]], '''Isolated incidents of edit warring, and persistent edit warring by particular users, may be better addressed by <u>blocking</u>''' (which it has in the case of Presumptive), '''so as not to prevent normal editing of the page by others.'''

Revision as of 14:59, 12 August 2008


    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 protection

    Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload 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.

    2008 Summer Olympics medal count (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    full protection. Ongoing unconstructive edits. I'll just c/p from what I wrote on the talk page with slight edits: Given the events of last night, in which everyone was adding and subtracting medals due to mass confusion, perhaps we should ask the admins to create designated editors to update the medal count and put the page on full protect. Rationale:

    • This page should only be updated a few times each day. There are 13 medal events on Day 3 of the Games; therefore, there should be 13 edits to the medal table. Any other edits are not constructive and, depending on the severity, could be considered vandalism. (Obviously, page formatting and stuff would be different; however, that stuff should be discussed on the talk page anyway.)
    • The need to reliably disseminate accurate information is more important than letting any user edit in what they think is correct based on tape-delayed coverage, late reports, etc. A messed-up Olympic medal table reflects poorly on Wikipedia.

    Feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have any questions. Kingnavland (talk) 20:43, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    While I doubt it will happen, I certainly wouldn't mind if it was protected. Last night editors were updating the count without checking to see if it had been updated already, so we were having the same set of medals included 2 or 3 times. This is currently a high profile page and having so many errors on it has drawn complaints on the talk page and makes wikipedia look bad. On the other hand, full protection would mean that only admins would be able to edit it, and that would prevent the page's regular editors (such as myself) from tweaking it. -- Scorpion0422 20:50, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Agree, based on content volatility, redundant coverage, and the propensity for multiple counting based on same (at least until the Olympic Games have ended and updates are much less frequent). Dirc (talk) 21:00, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined This is a wiki. Full protection would be punitive and accomplish little. It's a current event, so it will have high traffic, but nothing in the history suggests it's deserving of full protection. PeterSymonds (talk) 21:05, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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.
    • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected please use the section below.

    Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Current requests for significant edits to a protected page

    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.

    September 11, 2001 attacks (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Unprotect. Transcribed from WP:ANI: I would like a review of the full-protection of September 11, 2001 attacks. User:El C protected it after User:Presumptive went on a spree of five reversions. He was finally blocked for 12 hours to cool off. Then, another user, User:Fancy-cats-are-happy-cats reverted an old edit by User:Aude and El C protected it, citing 10 reversions (including 3 by me). The issue, though, is these users claimed to be upholding "consensus" single-handedly in cases where they have not made a suitable argument. For example, Presumptive claims I never engaged in discussion and, so, his revisions were consensus by silence. But, I did ask him how his versions could supercede WP:LEAD and he never responded. Fancy Cats never engaged in discussion on the talk page. Instead, he claimed to have 'consensus' somehow. As written in WP:PPOL, Isolated incidents of edit warring, and persistent edit warring by particular users, may be better addressed by blocking (which it has in the case of Presumptive), so as not to prevent normal editing of the page by others. Please help me with this. Also see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Official_Notice_of_Blocking and Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Please_issue_warnings_for_improper_reverts_to_9.2F11.

    Mind letting me know who those people were? Because if you're referring to the group of editors that countered Presumptive and Fancy cats' edits, we have discussed these issues constantly and have established a consensus based on the arbitration decision to prevent the promotion of factually-questionable wording or material. There are over forty-two talk page archives of discussions regarding these issues.

If protected, the version of the 13 day consensus (recently added and reverted away) should be used, not the aggressive changing to the non-consensus view. Either that or leave the warning template there. Presumptive (talk) 06:45, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    The edit-warring is the result of disruptive editing by the above user. Please see the report at WP:AN3RR. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 06:58, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

     Done — I just blocked someone for 3RR at that article; but I notice that reverting continues. El_C 08:06, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Don't see how one user's flagrant violation of 3RR and another's word changes qualify the article for full protection. -- Veggy (talk) 08:26, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Seeing there were about 10 reverts in the last day or two (including 3 reverts by yourself), I thought it reasonable to grant the request. El_C 08:33, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
