Instructions
[edit]Please feel free to report incidents, a complaint about an administrator, or anything you want administrators to be aware of.
Please be aware that these pages aren't the place to bring disputes over content or requests for a mediation between another editor and you — we aren't referees. You are better to talk with that editor by mail or on talk, or ask other editors their opinion on Village pump.
The chief purpose of this page is to allow admins to ask each other for help and/or information, to communicate ideas, and for admin talk to happen.
However, any user of Wikiquote may post here. Admins are not a club of elites, but normal editors with some additional technical abilities. Anyone is free to use it to talk to admins as a group. Please feel free to leave a message.
If you do, please sign and date all contributions, using the Wikiquote special form "~~~~", which translates into a signature and a time stamp automatically.
To request special assistance from an administrator, like deletion, use appropriate pages or tags.
To request assistance from a specific administrator, see [[User talk:Whoever]].
If there is another page which is a more natural location for the discussion of a particular point, please start the discussion there, and only put a short note of the issue, and a link to the relevant location, on this page. Put another way, to the extent possible, discussions are better off held somewhere else, and announced here. This will avoid spreading discussion of one topic over several pages (thereby making them harder to follow), and also reduce the rate of changes to this page.

Proposal to add new protection levels at the village pump
[edit]I have initiated a proposal to include new protection levels at the village pump, please see Wikiquote:Village pump#Second proposal: add some protection levels? if you want to leave questions or comments over there. Thanks. Codename Noreste (talk) 23:28, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
“The Fox and the Hound (1981)” article semi-protected with vandalism still in
[edit]This article has been vandalized and the vandalism has resulted in semi-protection for a whole year, however there is still a trace of vandalism probably from a crossover/logo kid (these vandals have been common on Wikiquote lately) - the section for the iconic ending scene (where Copper stops Amos Slade from shooting Tod) has been defaced with a mention of the 1996 Arthur TV series’ logo (and probably some more sections too, it should be preferable to fix any vandalism by cross-referencing it with the original film if one has access to it). Please fix this as soon as possible and block the user(s)/IP(s) responsible…it makes me sad and offended seeing the page for such a classic Disney animated film ruined in such a way. ~2025-43031-97 (talk) 04:25, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
- ~2025-43031-97, do you have any edits to link here (that should be undone)? Codename Noreste (talk) 18:02, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
- Hello Codename Noreste, OP here (I was forced to make an account because I was "temporarily limited from logged-out editing" - I do not usually make any accounts on the internet let alone publicly post at all because surveillance and cyberbullying on the internet is extreme this day and age...I always use private browsing and use sites like Invidious. However the sight of the article on The Fox and the Hound vandalized and also being semi-protected *with the vandalism still in* frustrated and annoyed me so hard I posted to help fix the article). I was planning to converse with you through an anonymous account but I ended up making this throwaway account for the reasons above.
- It doesn't seem to be a singular edit in particular, rather many small edits from different IPs. I currently don't have access to the original film to cross-reference with but looking at edit ID 3839636 before this one there seems to be little/minimal vandalism/incorrect information - e.g. it has "Copper: Tod? Stop! Don't hurt it! Stay safe there.", when he actually only says just "Tod?" according to other scripts I found) so probably revert to it so it can be cleaned up from there. The Arthur vandalism seems to be ID 3849795. Thank you. Tempaccount20254303197 (talk) 00:56, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
- See Special:Diff/3864051 -- I've tried my best attempt to revert subtle vandalism. Codename Noreste (talk) 01:14, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you, Codename Noreste, for fixing the (actually quite obvious in my opinion) Arthur vandalism, I appreciate your kindness and effort in keeping this wiki a reliable source for quotations from various sources. Although some false information (which is quite subtle in comparison) may remain, it can hopefully be fixed - one year is quite a long time for an article to be protected for, and all the vandalism was coming from IP users.
