Unprotection?[edit]

Can this talk page be unprotected now so that unregistered users can make comments? We can quickly restore protection if necessary. --TS 20:12, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As the semi-protecting administrator in this case, I do not believe it is wise to reduce the level of protection for this article or talk page. The problematic actions and edits to this page were related to longterm known banned users who are likely to watch for any change in protection and resume the problematic behaviour (which included repeated privacy violations). I would, however, be willing to consider unprotecting if other methods of keeping privacy violations off the page are able to be employed. Risker (talk) 21:48, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like gravely egregious behavior and it's right to take it very seriously. I had in mind the notion that we might unprotect and watch. Should the problem return then we can oversight if necessary and then restore the protection. It has been five months since protection so this may be the right time to test the water. --TS 21:54, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's a BLP Tony, one that has been on the receiving end of several problematic edits in the past, even here on the talk page. I'm not prepared to take a wait and see attitude toward BLP violations by known banned users, particularly when they are the only non-autoconfirmed editors who have ever edited the page. If someone can propose or otherwise identify a process by which we can keep such information out of the public view of the page, I would be very happy to trial that. Risker (talk) 22:16, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Flagged revisions, properly implemented, would do nicely for that, I think. Meanwhile the protection level should remain unchanged. ++Lar: t/c 23:23, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with Risker and Lar here. The article has been controversial enough and there have been numerous BLP issues already - Alison ^❤ 04:14, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Triggered by \bcbronline\.com\b on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.
