Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

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.

Long term protection: High level of IP vandalism. M S Hassan 📬✍🏻 10:01, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

DeclinedWarn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Daniel Case (talk) 18:26, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Disruptive editing from IP who will not cease, contrary to good faith JJNito197 (talk) 12:20, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

This is extremely disingenuous, JJNito has been repeatedly trying to push a specific WP:POV, going so far as to entirely remove references to the party's fascist ideology. There is absolutely no reason to remove the content or their sources beyond whitewashing the party. This individual has been disruptively editing Syrian Social Nationalist Party for quite some time, and it's clear they're trying to seek to protect their version. I'm going to remind that we should not tolerate efforts to present such parties as less extreme than they are, as per WP:NONAZIS. 69.157.2.197 (talk) 12:57, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Daniel Case (talk) 19:31, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: High levels of vandalism Wildfireupdateman (talk) 19:48, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Declined The IP that had been doing this has not edited since they were warned. Given that this is a breaking news story and thus the article is likely to be heavily and quickly edited I do not feel disruption is at the level yet where we must intervene. Daniel Case (talk) 20:30, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

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 edits to a protected page

[edit]
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

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.

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

[edit]

GnocchiFan has made 5,000+ edits this year alone including seven Good Articles. They make extensive use of WMF Library to improve sourcing and prose. I believe they are both an excellent editor and also communicator, evident at sensitive article topics at 1984 anti-Sikh riots and Gender and sexual minorities in the Ottoman Empire. In short, let's reduce NPP backlog by giving them auto-patrolled status. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Also worth mentioning GnocchiFan created 84 non redirect articles. One article was deleted Sophie Ottaway 8-months ago. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:25, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Seems to be an experienced content creator whose creations are no longer in need of input from NPP. They don't have a clean record of their articles being kept at AfD, but the last deletion was a year and half and 60 articles ago, and looking through a random sampling of their work since then doesn't reveal any major issues. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:50, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Meets minimum criteria, only one article out of many created has been deleted (in 2015). Mach61 23:06, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Created 55 articles, none of which were deleted, including BLPs. I believe granting the AP flag to this editor will benefit NPP reviewers by reducing the backlog. GrabUp - Talk 16:00, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Per my previous request December 2023 and 1) User talk:Tom.Reding#Auto patrol?, 2) User talk:Tom.Reding#Redirect reviews, 3) User talk:Primefac#Redirect reviews.   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  16:57, 2 October 2024 (UTC)   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  16:57, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

I saw my username on the Wikipedia database reports and found out I was eligible for the autopatrolled privilege. I've made lots of articles about Indian politicians recently and will continue to do so in the future. I'm a trusted user with lots of rights including NPP and fully familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I also have the redirect autopatrol pseudoright, and I'd like to request the autopatrolled right in order to reduce the reviewing workload of new page patrollers.

Requests for confirmation

Confirmed

[edit]

The reason i wanted to ask to be confimed is that i was on the MF DOOM page and noticed that his name wasnt capitlized, he has stated many times in songs and other media that his name is spelled with "all caps", eventhis spotify page is capitlized so i was planning on correcting it but needed to either be autoconfimed or confirmed and i am sending this request for that reason. Mlsfcx (talk) 11:58, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

 Not done – Hi, and thank you for creating an account to edit Wikipedia. Although I fully understand your desire to dive right in, many of our articles are semi-protected because they are controversial, prone to vandalism, or other reasons. As a new editor with few edits, it might be wise to discuss your edits on the article talkpage in order to gain consensus for your edits, and then use {{Edit semi-protected}} to request the edit be performed. I only recommend this until you are used to the challenges of reliable sources, the biographies of living persons policy, and other similar policies. The good news is that fewer than 5 percent of Wikipedia articles are protected; this means that more than 95 percent of the articles can use your help right now! stwalkerster (talk) 12:47, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

[edit]

Can i please have extended confirmed rights back. I lost it because one day when i had a little less than 500 edits, i made about 45-55 edits in one hour in order to get to 500 edits. Im new to this site and didn't know gaming edits was against the rules. Ever since i lost the extended confirmed thing, I've made hundreds of edits i think are constructive and i stopped vandalism a few times and have a much better understanding of the rules. extended confirmed rights HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 21:59, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Pinging @ScottishFinnishRadish: You seem to have revoked this right. Do you have any objection to restoring it? — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:11, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
The first edit I reviewed was a BLP violation, and Aoidh said last time it was declined I would suggest slowing down and taking time to show that you can edit constructively in an extremely contentious topic area before making a new request. I'm not terribly impressed. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:21, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
I don't see that anything has changed since the last request. Between tripping the edit filter a few times a few hours ago by trying to edit another editor's user page and their behavior elsewhere, I don't think they're ready for XC. I think at minimum they need to show an understanding of consensus (it's not when there's a dispute and one editor agrees with you) and learn to use edit summaries, especially when constantly reverting others (see Tupac Shakur's history) before they make another such request. If they become XC and this behavior carries over to highly contentious topic areas like WP:ARBPIA, they're going to end up getting blocked or sanctioned very quickly. - Aoidh (talk) 05:36, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
 Not done Two admins in good standing who are familiar with this case have reviewed recent edits and their feedback is compelling anough to deny the request. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 00:22, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request extended confirmed rights. Although my account has existed for almost three years, and I've been editing wikipedia for longer without one, I do not edit a lot. Even on my home wikipedia I don't edit a lot. I mostly make minor edits (wiki gnoming) which fix small issues with wording, grammar or an incorrectly used template. For this reason, I won't be able to get the extended confirmed rights in the normal way - by waiting - for a long time. I am aware that requests like this usually get denided, but I'll be honest, the only thing the this 500 edits limit is doing is encouraging me to make useless edits ("gaming the system"). Of course I'll never do that, but it is frustrating when I want to fix an incorrectly used template, or other small issue, and can't (this is how I stumbled upon this topic in the first place). Anyway, I'm requesting this premission in order to give myself tools to help wikipedia. I solemnly swear to use it for good (however arbitrarily that may be defined) and not cause problems or trouble.

P.S. If one looks at my contribution history, they may assume that I'm requesting this access in order to vote in this talk page. That is not the case, and if one looks just a bit earlier, they can find the real cause. TheBooker66 (talk) 17:54, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done Given the length of time you have had an account, there might be some room for allowing this, but you've only got about 10% of the required amount of edits, and that is just way too far below the expected minimum. We have WP:ECP for a reason, it isn't just to stop people acting in bad faith, it is explicitly to keep very inexperienced users out of contentious topic areas until they've learned a bit more about how to edit here.

File mover

[edit]

I am requesting file mover rights because I have experience in handling and maintaining various file types and I believe my contributions to several files and my various file rename requests as seen in the editing history here showcase my understanding of the naming policy for files. File names are often a decent part of my contributions with film and television-related articles, and carrying out these renames to satisfy naming conventions rather than having to request them every time a file needs to be renamed would prove beneficial in their up-keeping.

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

[edit]

I would like to request my NPP temporary approval be made permanent. It is currently set to expire on October 3. I initially requested this level of access to learn more about Wikipedia as a whole and take part in the September backlog drive. With the extended access I have learned more about the use of the Twinkle gadget and have requested notification access to article alerts for WikiProjects I participate in. I have worked to increase my participation in AFD and AFC. I have also used the CSD process for articles that meet the speedy deletion guidelines. I have began use of the copyvio process for evaluating pages and started adding links to foreign language articles about the same subject. I have enjoyed the work I have done during this time and hope to be able to continue to help my fellow editors grow knowledge on Wikipedia. Demt1298 (talk) 13:09, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Requesting for renewal of permissions after being given a two-month trial by Rosguill. Rosguill's feedback was very helpful, and this time around I have been very careful with reviewing new pages, making sure that the only ones that are reviewed are properly sourced, non-promotional articles, while problematic new pages are draftified or nominated for deletion with care.

I often move poorly-titled pages to more appropriate titles, usually to make them more WP:CONCISE, specific, neutral, or to correct spelling and transliterations. I also revert undiscussed moves in line with WP:RMUM. I would greatly appreciate having the ability to manage this myself. Skitash (talk) 21:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to get this right to delete unnecessary redirects (i.e. move pages over existing single revision redirects regardless of target). Additionally, I would also like to try to harmonize some pages of Spanish municipalities with the name of the province (when necessary) instead of other subnational units (such as comarca). Moreover if a double denomination exists in some cases, I shall use the slash with spaces in between to enhance visual effect of different linguistic nomenclatures. However if an English form is more relevant I shall use it instead of double and local denominations. Other than that I could help elsewhere to move pages if necessary. Thank you, Nuvolet (talk)

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

Hello hello, I have been a Wikipedian for well over 4 months now, and I feel that I have learned a great many things about the site in terms of editing, content, policies, and conduct that I could have never imagined beforehand. If given this right, I humbly commit to using it to the utmost competent and fair / legitimate nature that I possibly can. Thank you Aliy Dawut (talk) 02:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

I have been contributing to pages for three years now, with prior experience in patrolling edit filter log. I would like to get reviewer rights so I can contribute to Wikipedia in more ways than I am able to, presently, and help with the backlog.

I've been doing RC Patrolling (as a part of Anti-Vandalism) on Wikipedia for a while now, and I think that having the Pending Changes reviewer permission could be a good idea - there have been numerous instances involving a pending changes edit that I look at while looking through Special:RecentChanges that i wanted to accept/deny/etc, and i feel that this permission would be beneficial for my efficeincy. DM5Pedia 04:34, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

I have also been countering vandalism for 5 months, and I have the rollback right. — BerryForPerpetuity (talk) 07:50, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

I have been patrolling recent changes since 8 August 2024 and reverting edits there too. I would like to get the Pending Changes reviewers rights because I sometimes come across constructive edits and would like to accept them (if constructive). So it'll be good if I got those rights. I think I'll also be a good Pending changes reviewer too. PEPSI697 (💬📝) 05:59, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done for the same reasons that your rollback request was declined. Elli (talk | contribs) 01:22, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

I've been editing since 2015 and primarily work on articles related to politics and history. I have experience with reverting vandalism, verifying content complies with policies like V, NPOV and BLP, and I think I can help maintain the quality of articles like those in my watchlist by reviewing pending changes, which I've successfully requested for pages at RPP multiple times in the past, including in August 2021, May 2023, this January and this August. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 22:07, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I've been using Wikipedia on-and-off since 2020, but I'm starting to become more active. I'd like to become a pending change reviewer, as I've often wanted to help out but have struggled finding where I can actually contribute, and I think this is a good place to contribute. I'm familiar with the guidelines, as well. Thx56 (talk) 21:28, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

I have been working to revert vandalism for some time now, mostly patrolling Recent changes. I have used Twinkle and RedWarn to revert vandalism and warn vandals. Rollback rights would make it easier for me to revert obvious vandalism. Thanks. Charliehdb (talk) 10:57, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 08:27, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: Thanks for pointing it out. I assure you that I will warn all vandals from now on. I hope you give me Rollback rights. Thanks. Charliehdb (talk) 12:40, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? -Fastily 01:08, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: Offcourse, I will leave warnings/notifications for every revert. Charliehdb (talk) 13:39, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

I have been reverting edits and warning users by patrolling recent changes for almost two months now. I have been using Twinkle to revert edits but manually warned users. I have consistently warned users most of the time after reverting their edits. I have been patrolling recent changes since 8 August 2024. I think getting Rollback rights would make it easier to revert edits or vandalism. Thank you. PEPSI697 (💬📝) 05:49, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

@Fastily: Thank you for the response, I promise to consistently warn users after reverting edits. Please also check the tags that I use Twinkle to revert edits as well. Thank you. PEPSI697 (💬📝) 13:00, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
 Not done I'm truly unimpressed by this. You should know better than that, given how long you've been editing. Rollback is an elevated permission that is only granted to editors with a good understanding of our policies/guidelines. Based on your actions today, I'm not convinced you meet this bar. -Fastily 01:08, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have achieved 200 mainspace edits and I am ready to be on Wikipedia's Anti-Vandal task force! I can use tools like AntiVandal, and of course continue to use Twinkle and Ultraviolet. I love patrolling Recent Changes and cant wait to join this exciting opportunity!

 Not done You've only made a handful of reverts since your previous request was declined. I'm sorry, but that's just not enough experience for me to determine whether you'll be able to use the right appropriately. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 01:08, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you, I will see this page in about a month or so. Cooldudeseven7 (Discuss over a cup of tea?) 11:27, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

@Primefac: My "need for the right, as well as a familiarity with the care and responsibility required" is proven by my overall record and experience with WP, not necessarily meeting an arbitrary guideline limit. Thanks. -- P 1 9 9   15:23, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
I made no claims about your need, or lack thereof. I was simply filling out the standard guideline review. Primefac (talk) 15:36, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
