Reason: High level of IP whitewashing and removing of well sourced information - trying to hide ties with Russia. Paid SPAs interested only in removing sourced not pleasant material only. 80.98.145.168 (talk) 13:04, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
If we semi-protect the article you won't be able to edit it for the duration of the protection either. Are you OK with that? Daniel Case (talk) 20:31, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

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.
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.
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.
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.

Would like to cut down on the backlog of pages that need to be reviewed while I create pages, especially as of recent where I've been working on creating pages for military battles, and Bahmani rulers. I definitely believe the pages I've created shows I am familiar with the guidelines of page notability, and especially quality. I've practiced with this being a new page patroller myself.

I have been an editor since 2020, but only really started ramping up my edits in February of this year. I have made 254+ pages (at least 4 of them are from redirects), 103 of which have been in the last 3 days. Another user (Ryan shell) suggested that I should apply. The only major issue that my articles have had in the past was me using AI, which I have acknowledged was wrong and promised not to do it again to an administrator, who worked with me on how to properly find info for articles without using AI. Most of my articles are stubs, and I feel like they can clog up the New Pages Feed a bit.

Not done. Autopatrolled is not an "access level". You can create new articles without being autopatrolled. Only after 25 creation without issues do we typically grant autopatrolled. It only means that the article doesn't get checked by new page reviewers. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:21, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

@Rosguill that block was unfortunate, please look at my contributions, I did not have any edit warrings. I reported a user but may be due to balance I was also blocked for 24 hours, but the other user was blocked for 2 weeks. Please you can check those from my contribution and my edits were not like that, neither I reverted any edit more than twice nor I did something in summary, I suggested that user for talk page. Please give me the permission atleast for temporary period. ZenDragoX(User) | (Contact) 02:58, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
I had already checked them as part of my prior review. Your article creation and AfD records are short, and do not provide a strong basis to overlook the core guidelines. I'm also a bit concerned by grammatical errors in the above reply. Finally, being able to accept "no" for an answer and to have patience with Wikipedia processes are important skills for a new page reviewer--insisting that this request be reconsidered despite clearly falling short of one of the few explicitly-stated minimum requirements does not make me more amenable me to your request. signed, Rosguilltalk 12:46, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

From time to time, I make the occasional page move, these are pretty much always uncontroversial moves. After seeing a move of mine from 6 months ago reviewed just today, I have decided, in the interest of reducing the backlog of editors who have to review my pages, to ask for this permission. Allan Nonymous (talk) 18:08, 26 August 2024 (UTC) Allan Nonymous (talk) 18:08, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
I don't see a lot of experience here, and I am not sure whether the request is indicating something related to the autopatrolled right, but for the time being I will just give a bit of feedback on a case I noticed. In May you moved Ricardo Cobo to Ricardo Cobo (Musician) in order to create a one-sentence stub on a different Ricardo Cobo. The disambiguator in this case should be in lowercase. More significantly, it appears that this was moved without any consideration of whether the mayor was the primary topic of the search term "Ricardo Cobo". The mayor's article gets fewer views than those of the musician, and when the stub was created, no hatnote link to the former occupant of that title was provided. Links were not fixed either, so for example, Guitar Foundation of America now links incorrectly to the mayor instead of the musician. Why did you decide to make way for the article on the mayor here? Did you consider making a disambiguation page? Dekimasuよ! 02:38, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
To be honest, the upper case typo was a WP:MOS mistake on my part, I take full responsibility. As to whether it should have been a primary or secondary redirect. I felt that, per criterion 2, the mayor of a major city (pop 1 million +) usually has long term significance. I didn't feel there was a need for a disambiguation page with just two entries. As for the links, to be honest, at the time I just assumed Wikipedia fixed those during a move (you can WP:TROUT me for that one). Allan Nonymous (talk) 11:33, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
Usually replacement of one article with an article on an unrelated topic without any intermediate step is not advisable precisely because it breaks things internally. Instead of a trout, can you help fix the links and lack of hatnote? Dekimasuよ! 21:44, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
(non-admin comment) The group (really a list) that makes an editor's redirects automatically reviewed is the redirect autopatrol list (rather than page mover). However, the guideline is that users normally aren't nominated for that list until they have created 100 redirects. Currently, Allan Nonymous, you're at 12 live redirects created in the article space. (Deleted move redirects don't show up in the tool, since they aren't logged as page creations.) SilverLocust💬 07:18, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
Not done, mainly per lack of indicated need; reducing the backlog of page patrols really isn't what this permission is for, and I'm not seeing any indication (either in the application itself or in the move/edit histories) that this would be particularly useful. No prejudice against requesting in the future if this changes and the tools would be needed on a regular basis. Primefac (talk) 12:52, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
I want to help with the renaming of various LGBTQ child pages as a result follow-up to the main article LGBTQ now being LGBTQ as a result of the concluded Talk:LGBTQ#Requested move 14 August 2024 discussion that I initiated. Most of the child pages all have existing redirects that need to be page swapped and many are not just 1-iteration, so need to WP:ROUNDROBIN swapped, for which Page Mover permissions are required. I am aware of the policies around page moving and will respect the permissions as such. Raladic (talk) 16:43, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
Raladic, what's the scale/scope of the pages needing moved? Best guess is okay, I don't necessarily need a specific number (my thought process here is wondering if WP:RM/TR might be a better route). (please do notping on reply) Primefac (talk) 12:49, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Many, basically for many years all sub-pages that have the article title "LGBT" have followed the principle of "when the time comes that the main article 'LGBT' gets rename, then we'll rename the others" - that time has come now, so basically all sorts of other pages (and categories) that currently have LGBT in the title should be updated to LGBTQ now per WP:COMMONNAME, so basically very many pages under Category:LGBT that have LGBT in the name, including those categories as well.
Also likely the WikiProject LGBT itself. If there is some automated way to achieve that in bulk, then that of course would also be fine if that is what you were trying to get at with the Technical Request link. Raladic (talk) 14:31, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Naively, there are more than 1,000 pages when searching for articles with titles containing "LGBT". Even if it is just 10% of these being processed, RM/TR would be burdened with an onslaught of requests. – robertsky (talk) 17:47, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
General moves. Recently I've wanted to move some voting theory articles (e.g. participation criterion) to rephrase them in terms of their associated paradoxes (e.g. the no show paradox). I've typically found this makes them more intuitive to most people. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 00:17, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Not done per lack of demonstrated need, lack of RM and RM/TR experience, and more broadly speaking a rather high percentage of move reversals compared to the total number of moves. Primefac (talk) 12:44, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights
Hello, I would like to obtain rollback rights to fight against vandalism, spam and any other non-constructive modifications, I know very well how to differentiate between a beginner user who simply makes a mistake, and a person who makes bad modifications voluntarily. Also I know how to use the Twinkle tool to leave warnings of cancellation of modifications on the discussion page of the users concerned. SparklingBlueMoon (talk) 21:15, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello @Elli. I understand that we don't give roles like that, on the other hand I don't really understand what seniority has to do with it, any sane person knows the difference between pure vandalism and a bad, unintentional modification, it's quite easy to spot what needs to be put back or not. See my posts on Noni Madueke, S-segment and on the discussions of the vandals concerned. SparklingBlueMoon (talk) 09:53, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Challenging this denial will not result in Elli changing his mind, it reaffirms that you are not ready. You are a very, very new editor and permissions are given as a sign of trust that they won't be misused. You haven't been active long enough for this trust to exist. Come back after a few months of solid editing. LizRead!Talk! 02:27, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

While I appreciate your enthusiasm, that's just not enough anti-vandalism activity for me to asses whether you'll be able to use the tool appropriately.
