| This page is for the request of page protection within the Urban Dead wiki. Due to philosophical concerns, the ability to protect pages is restricted to system operators. As such, regular users will need to request a protection from the system operators. For consistency and accountability, system operators also adhere to the guidelines listed here.
| |
| | |
| ==Guidelines for Protection Requests==
| |
| | |
| All Protection Requests '''must''' contain the following information in order to be considered:
| |
| | |
| * '''A link to the page in question.''' Preferably bolded for visibility.
| |
| * '''A reason for protection.''' This should be short and to the point.
| |
| * '''A signed datestamp.''' This can be easily done by adding <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to the end of your request.
| |
| | |
| Any protection request that does not contain these three pieces of information will not be considered, and will be removed by a system operator.
| |
| | |
| Once the protection request has been entered, the request shall remain on this page, where it will be reviewed by a member of the Sysop team, and action taken accordingly. Once action has been taken, the system operator will add a comment including a signed datestamp detailing his course of action, and the request will be moved into the '''Recent Actions''' queue, where it will remain for one week. After that week is up, it may be moved to the [[UDWiki:Administration/Protections/Archive|Archive]]. If the Protection has been granted, the system operator should place the tag <nowiki>{{protect}}</nowiki> on the page(s) that have been protected.
| |
| | |
| In the event of a system operator requesting a Protection, all the previous points will apply, excepting that a system operator other than the requestor shall review and take action on the request.
| |
| | |
| ==Protection Queue==
| |
| <!-- ''Place pages requiring protection here.'' -->
| |
| | |
| ==Requested Edits==

| Ive just head a vote struck http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Suggestion:20080814_Give_Ruin_Age_in_ExMilReps&diff=1262004&oldid=1261191
| |
| | |
| because ive always read point 5.
| |
| | |
| "It is strongly '''recommended''' that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion. "
| |
| | |
| And now i see at the bottom of the page
| |
| | |
| "Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote."
| |
| | |
| Yet even further below, in the examples
| |

| |
| :I'm not really sure if we're going with "recommended" or "required", but the example is justified, just generic and unhelpful. [[Example page|Bob Zombie]] is voting keep because he thinks it's the best suggestion evar. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 23:22, 31 August 2008 (BST)

| ===[[Dunell Hills/Barricade Plan]]===
| |
| | |
| I would like to see the following changes made to the Dunell Hill Barricade Plan page which is still under protection. The current version is not NPOV and this needs correcting.
| |
| | |
| This is only a start: I feel that the DHPD plans contain waaay to much text, most of which is unnecessary and should be axed. However, I can't be arsed to deal with it right now. The DHPD wins again by sheer force of spam?? ;) Maybe someone else will come up with a good edit for it.
| |
| | |
| Specifically, I request the following passages be '''deleted''' as blatantly non-NPOV:
| |
| | |
| *''"The DHPD policy is of historical interest only"''
| |
| | |
| *''"While some would argue that this Policy is zombie-friendly, it is accurate and realistic, two features which lack from other barricade policies that have been proposed for the area. One will note that while the other plans on this page are pie-in-the-sky material, the above policy is currently implemented and maintained."''
| |
| | |
| Next, the two DHPD plans ought to be '''moved''' and placed under one heading -- titled "DHPD-approved Plans". The first sub-heading would be titled "Standard Barricade Policy", and the second, "Lockdown Barricade Policy".
| |
| | |
| The following should be '''moved'''; this belongs under the "Standard Barricade Policy" subheading.
| |
| | |
| :''"The DHPD follows the Counterpoint Barricading Strategy rather than the Strategy of Distributed Defense. Although "DD" works well in siege environments, it sacrifices new players for the survival of older, more experienced players. The genre would lead us to believe that our primary responsibility is to protect ALL survivors, not just those with free running. This policy should be implemented throughout the DMZ but exceptions are allowed when other significant groups share the area."''
| |
| | |
| Thanks. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 12:25, 24 July 2008 (BST)
| |
| | |
| :This might be a lot easier if I just unprotected and let you do it, since it's going to be unprotected anyways. The only change I'd make is to remove the "DHPD-" in "DHPD-approved Plans".--{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 19:28, 24 July 2008 (BST)

| ===[[Survivors of Newtown]]===
| |
| The discussion section of this page is getting flamed by one of your sysops. I have asked The Grimch to stop cursing and making a mockery of the page but he persists. He also will not stop reverting the edits I make to his langauge (I bleep it out with *'s) and has threatened that he will supposedly report me for vandalism. His actions are not very admin-like and I find his behaviour repulsive. The page is recieving an incredible number of hits (before it was moved it was at 1030, then in it's new location it is up to 300+) and that was in only 5 days of being active. I will be leaving the wiki soon as well as this game because the Survivors of Newtown were my one last attempt at making this game fun. We had a large group of players supporting us and it was turning out to be a cool survival group. Mr. Grimch thinks he can bully others around because of his status on this wiki, which is not something to be proud of. He is under the misguided impression that we are cheating (I disagreed but stated that the group would stop such actions), and so he has gone on a crusade to destroy our discussion page with slander. I hope that he receives some kind of repremand, though I won't really be present to see what happens anyway.

| I have protected this due to an active edit war. This is the second time i have had to do so. I would like this to be locked for a period of at least one month while they cool off. The fact of the matter is that independant observers (WanYao, Myself) have confirmed that there is nil human presence in the suburb, and there hasnt been any for many months. The general concensus is that there is no presence of that group in the suburb, and thus they have been removed from the groups list. They dont like this and have been perpetuating an edit conflict instead of discussing the issue. --[[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]] [[We are Trolls!|WAT!]]</sup> 11:54, 30 June 2008 (BST)

My common sense tells me that if a group is still in a suburb, even if zombified, and still committed to "the survivor cause" (as lame as I find it to cling to an area so tightly), they should still be considered a survivor group, even if all they do is mrh?. The defining attribute is that they want to be survivors. Just as zombie groups that spend 99.99% of their time as dead bodies are still considered active zombie groups.

I think the next time I am accused of vandalism I will just say it was an "edit conflict".

That The Dead is completely dominating them is not being debated here, only whether they have a presence in DH, which you just said they do, and that The Dead are still attacking them. They are there, they are still committed to the survivor cause, hence they are still a pro-survivor group in that suburb. Until the dead can get them to give up on retaking the suburb, they should remain listed as a survivor group.

Why should we care how often a page is edited? Answer is that we don't care how often it is edited, we are just supposed to care about it being edited to reflect the facts.

| Dude your case was shot to pieces and you're refusing to back down or approach the issue at hand with reason and logic. Every time something you've said has been refuted, you've changed your case and it's clear that you 'trying' your utmost to handle it responsibly and like an adult, and failing. It's an obvious zombie bias - you butted into our argument and immediately backed The Dead by locking the page with their recent edit intact (because you thought survivors have to be alive in a suburb in barricaded buildings to count on the pro-survivor list). Then when several people pointed out that wasn't the case and you were provided screenshot evidence as requested of DHPD members as zombies inside the suburb, suddenly you want screenshot evidence of MORE than one officer, otherwise the edit stays. Then I bet when we provide it, the Dead will come along and immediately target that building, post a screenshot of it ruined next to ours, and claim we should be taken off the page again. The point is we *are* in the area, we have members in the suburb in question attacking zombies whilst in zombie form (to soften up targets), and we're working towards reentering the suburb to repair. If you were really interested in discussing what is obviously a complicated and contested point, then as I keep telling you there needs to be a discussion about the exact requirements needed to qualify for inclusion on a suburb page. Until that discussion takes place and someone reaches a conclusion, the page should remain AS IT WAS before the fact was contested, NOT how Grim chose to edit it before locking ('innocent until proven guilty').

Because there really can't be a hard-and-fast way to determine who is or is not in a suburb... Frankly, I think that even the requirement to have 10 members is too much. There are a number of small but very long-standing and effective groups that in no circumstances ought to be left off the page just because they fall under 10 members. One man armies, even two or three man armies -- they probably don't deserve a spot. But what about the classic case of FUACK? Or ROAR? Or the Necronauts?
