I am requesting UnProtection of Little Green Footballs.
I believe the original protection request was erroneous. It read:
there are a number of errors in this statement of events. for one, whether the material in fact fails WP:RS or consequently introduces WP:BLP issues is highly disputable, and is in fact probably incorrect if what is currently the word at WP:RS is any guide. second, this material is not the material which is being added in a disruptive manner which resembles vandalism. rather it is content which has stood for more than a month after having been tested by two other users at the time of its inclusion and is now being blanked from the article in a disruptive manner which resembles vandalism.
with that in mind, i would prefer not to have the page semi-protected, as the effect of this action would be to freeze the article as it is, in turn rewarding the behavior of the two users who opened their accounts this evening with the apparent sole purpose of section-blanking items they didn't like, almost to the point of 3RRing themselves.

May I ask you to reconsider the wisdom of protecting an important article for a week rather than block a user who has repeatedly had problems (and been blocked) for edit warring on this subject? Thanks. Magog the Ogre (talk) 08:11, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Or for that matter, both users. Magog the Ogre (talk) 08:13, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
I was more thinking along the lines of block the editors, let the page be free. Magog the Ogre (talk) 08:31, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I'm just wondering why The Amazing Race Asia 4 page was locked? Was it something I did? Kinda confused. I'm active on The Amazing Race 17 and Asia 4 pages deleting false/unsourced information, fixing some edits and adding to the tables, you know generally helping out. Does it have anything to do with some IPs adding in false information about an episode that hadnt aired on TV? I don't mind that the page is locked, just confused. Thankyou 82.15.11.104 (talk) 11:08, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

I've started having a look at James Cagney, starting by looking at overall layout from something of a distant view. And over all I think it's pretty good - the placing of photos and quotes is pleasing to the eye.
One thing that strikes me is that some of the sections seem a bit long, and I wonder if they could usefully be sub-sectioned with level 3 subheadings? I write web-based material in my RL job, and one of the things we find is that people's attentions are held better if blocks of text are visually broken up a bit (The psychology of reading is quite interesting - even arbitrary subheadings seem to make text visually more pleasing, regardless of what the headings actually say).
Anyway, that's my first thought -- I'll dig a bit deeper over the weekend and start making some copy-edits (I'll probably make some changes just to see if they look and read better, so please do take my changes as suggestions and feel free to revert as you see fit).

Hey, I do not know how to get somebody to discuss on Australian Football League talk page. Maybe you could get somebody or even you could help us out to sort out an proper way to finish the discussion. GuineaPigWarrior (talk) 19:00, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Ged UK, following the recent deterioration in editing of the Israel-Palestine set of articles, I've set up a page to discuss the problem and possible solutions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Arbitration Enforcement/Israel-Palestine articles. Your input would be appreciated. PhilKnight (talk) 15:16, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

please have a look at Tuluva page the ip apparantely has an account.isn't this sock puppeting.08:09, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
Requesting you to un-protect the article Tuluvas. Kindly look at the talk page. My point is to restore the article to the original version and consensus has to be reached before large changes are made to an article.188.52.8.156 (talk) 14:01, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

We need your tools on WP:ANI. Got a troll out and about. You'll know who it is. IP hopping. Would like to manually archive his target threads but don't know if that's possible/how to do it. Revert Ignore is currently being applied but we need blocks of the IPs and probably semi protection of ANI if manual archive doesn't work. Thanks in advance. N419BH 08:16, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
If you protect 2010 Asian Games, please protect 2010 Asian Games medal table too from being abuse by anonymous user. Thank you. --Aleenf1 13:26, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
A discussion has begun about whether the article Bow Creek Ecology Park, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bow Creek Ecology Park until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Gorrad (talk) 02:08, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
I found a possible block evader that edited around 2 hours ago. IP is User talk:213.246.151.130, IP appears to be static as it belongs to a company. Momo san Talk 14:48, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
The date on the tag should be 11/25, since that's when the protection is set to expire. (The tag shows 11/23, two days prior to the actual protection expiry.) Just a quick note there, bro. Torinir ( Ding my phone My support calls E-Support Options ) 15:13, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Ged - given that this was an edit war between 3 users who followed process and 1 who broke 3RR, would you consider giving the IP a block instead and unprotecting? Magog the Ogre (talk) 23:10, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Done - thanks! Magog the Ogre (talk) 23:25, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Sorry about this one but I was monitoring another article in a starbucks queue and someone jostled my arm at the wrong moment so my finger hit the rollback key rather than the article on my iPhone. You made the reversion about 2 seconds before I attempted to self-revert. "Assume this was a mistake" would have been a better comment. --Snowded TALK 16:04, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Ged, you protected this article in Sept for a month (semi} and since it expired it has been the same, pretty constant, could you re protect if for us, I would like to test it with pending protection if you are able to apply, if not then semi protect it indefinitely, that seems a shame though as there are occasionally a beneficial contribution from an unconfirmed user, thanks.

Hello. Could you please check the block status of IP 218.188.16.95. According to the talk page, you issued a one-year block four days ago. However, the IP in question is continuing to edit. They haven't been very active, so I don't think it's urgent. However, I'll keep an eye out and post something at AN if the problem escalates and you're too busy to respond.Thanks, Rivertorch (talk) 04:32, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
