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 on 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]

I respectfully request autopatrol and patrol rights, based on my extensive experience and contributions to Wikipedia. With over 12 months of experience, I've created 60+ articles and improved 100+ others. Granting my request will streamline the New Page Patrol process. I previously requested these rights last month, which was denied. Since then, I've improved my contributions. I believe my dedication and improvement warrant reconsideration. Thank you for considering my request. Royalesignature (talk). 03:08, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([3]). MusikBot talk 03:10, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) I recently raised issues of close paraphrasing in one of your drafts Special:Permalink/1263547974, I am sure if I check more of your creations now, I will find similar issues. Your creations need a second eye and that is what NPP is for. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:18, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Nominating this editor for Autopatrolled based on a long history of high-quality page creation (80 new articles created in mainspace, with just one deleted a few years ago). Good encyclopedic style, excellent use of sources, images, formatting etc.; also creates talk pages. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:34, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights

Hi, I am requesting for this rights, because I have about 5 new articles that are yet to be reviewed and surely meets the notability criteria, I have been creating and improving articles especially on African Cinema and with this right, I hope to reduce the backlog on the new page reviewers log.

Best regards, B.Korlah (talk) 06:36, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

To support WP:JAN25 I'd ideally like to be contributing to reducing the backlog as opposed to contributing to increasing the backlog at the same time. Overall in the last 25+ BLP articles I've created, there have been few to no edits made by NPR, aside from typos, grammar, and duplicate words. The first handful lacked certain templates, categories, default sorting, talk page banners, and the usual technical parts of articles, but I've since got to grips with including these. Since then I've only moved my drafts to mainspace, or created in mainspace, when I'm confident that there is enough SIGCOV and structure, and otherwise "incubate" articles not quite ready in draft space if not. I otherwise create quite a few redirects, with one disambiguated, and one batch up for discussion, but otherwise none deleted so far. Thanks for considering. CNC (talk) 12:40, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Requests for AutoWikiBrowser access

AutoWikiBrowser

[edit]


Hi, I am re-requesting AWB perms. It was last denied because I had shown zero need for it but this time, I think I do have a reason.

I had recently created Niagara (electoral district) and Middlesex North from a (redirect) to a Disambiguation page, and it has links. I would like to use AWB to update the links, and make it point to the right pages. I'm thinking there could be more "redirect-to-disambigaution" pages that would need updating links.

Confirmed

[edit]
Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

[edit]

Reason for Request: I am requesting reinstatement of Extended Confirmed Rights after their removal by User:ScottishFinnishRadish for concerns related to "gaming EC through adding a machine translation of Fondation Maeght and Rueil-Malmaison in many small edits without attribution." He asked me to "make at least a few hundred edits" to regain it. Since the removal, I have added attribution to the concerned articles. I have made over 300 referenced contributions, focusing on adding reliable sources to improve verifiability, expanding content in alignment with Wikipedia’s standards, and enhancing article quality. I believe my recent contributions demonstrate constructive and policy-compliant editing.

Examples of Recent Contributions: Water metering, Smart meter, and Gas meter, which are in my area of expertise. My recent edits also contributed significantly to upgrading the article History of the Jews in Tunisia from "Start-Class" to "B-Class." Michael Boutboul (talk) 12:28, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Boutboul, are you using AI (such as ChatGPT or similar tools) to write your talk page messages and permission requests? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi @ToBeFree,
I use ChatGPT from time to time to translate sentences or correct English syntax, as English is not my mother tongue. I also used an LLM to translate French Wikicode into English Wikicode; it’s much faster than doing it manually.
Have you had the opportunity to check some of my edits? They are far from perfect, but I really try to follow Wikipedia standards (Verifiability, No Original Research, Follow Style Guidelines, etc.). I’m genuinely puzzled—I don’t understand why they are not considered valuable enough to regain my extended confirmed rights. I’ve been a Wikipedia member since 2006, with more than 900 edits in English and over 1,500 edits in total.
Thanks for your time and interest. Michael Boutboul (talk) 10:08, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
From their last post to their talk, @Boutboul seems interested in CT areas. I have concerns about the EC request given other issues raised on their Talk. Courtesy ping @ScottishFinnishRadish who removed initially. Star Mississippi 17:39, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
They're also continuing to translate from French Wikipedia without proper attribution, e.g. here. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:51, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
I properly attributed the translation by adding the template to the main page. However, a bot moved it to the talk page. I even explained this in a discussion topic on the talk page. Translation is not prohibited; in fact, it is encouraged by Wikipedia. Michael Boutboul (talk) 20:27, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
(b) Place the {{Translated page}} template on the target article's talk page, for example: emphasis mine. Nor did you attribute it in the edit summary as required: Add a statement to the edit summary of the target article of your translation providing translation attribution to the authors of the source article, including an interlanguage link to the source (translated-from) article. Example: This continued misunderstanding plus the LLM usage does not inspire confidence that they're ready to have E/C restored. They're welcome to edit in other areas but I explicitly do not think they're ready for CTs. Star Mississippi 20:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
@Star Mississippi, have you reviewed my edits? Could you please clearly explain your concerns? No one has provided a clear explanation for refusing to reassess my extended confirmed rights. Additionally, @ScottishFinnishRadish made an incorrect statement regarding proper attribution for translations. Michael Boutboul (talk) 20:40, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I primarily work with files on Wikimedia Commons, where I have file mover and autopatrol rights. The process of file moving on English Wikipedia is almost the same as the practices on Commons.

[edit]

For the NPP backlog drive. This is my second time participating in one of these drives (hopefully I will be healthier and less busy this time...) -1ctinus📝🗨 02:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

The January backlog drive seems interesting and I need something to do over Christmas break/beyond. I applied for a month-long trial a while back, but was having some mental health issues and just didn't use the tools or even re-apply. My AfC log is relatively lengthy over a period of 3 months. A note about my AfD stats, they are inaccurate. For some reason, when changing my name from "Sir MemeGod" to "EF5", XTools bugged out and only shows random AfDs I've filed/commented on (hence the 90-or-so "no vote detected" ones). EF5 17:50, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

@EF5: Could you explain what happened with Draft:Artwork at the Pentagon, from your perspective? The history is puzzling. – Joe (talk) 10:50, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
@Joe Roe: Sure! I was on an "artwork at the ____" list-making spree (see List of artwork at the United States Capitol complex and Artwork at the World Trade Center (1973–2001)), and I tried my luck at the Pentagon. It would be PRODed for WP:NLIST reasons, which is fair, I didn't know that WP:NOTDATABASE existed at the time, and to avoid it being deleted, I just moved it to draftspace where I could work on it. I guess I forgot about it. I know that doesn't excuse the OR concerns, I guess I just forgot to cite some material, which I'm usually careful about. :) EF5 12:30, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
@EF5You do realize that the OR concerns are a direct by-product of not following WP:NLIST and not because you forgot to cite material? Sohom (talk) 00:28, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
OR and NLIST have little relation in this context. If I forgot to cite material or no citations exist for the information, then that is OR. If no significant (or any) citations exist to establish the list's notability, then it fails NLIST, which is a seperate concept to OR. A list can 100% be notable, but OR can still be found in the article, hence the tag. The art collection has a government website and is mentioned in several other sources, so notability isn't the big issue here. Reviewers (at least at AfC) are supposed to look for off-wiki citations, the notability can be there, but just doesn't show because the writer never added the citations, as I had forgotten to. In my opinion, one self-draftified (I'm fully aware OR concerns were why I draftified it; I got a bit discouraged after the PROD and didn't wannt it to be deleted) article shouldn't impede on the seventy-nine newer articles that I've made after that, none of which are tagged (from what I know). I was given the tools for a trial in late-October, and hopefully my few reviews were at least sufficient. EF5 02:49, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Pinging @Sohom Datta: for their response. EF5 03:48, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
 Done (till ~2 months) I looked through your other edits and I do concur, for the vast majority you seem to be making sane descisions. While I disagree with your take on the article linked above, I think we are disagreeing on a semantic difference (the ye old question of "notability as presented v/s notability as a function of available sources") and not a broad policy one. Sohom (talk) 14:32, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

I have refrained from requesting new page patroller rights, but now I believe it is time for me to request the rights. I usually deal with CSD, mostly U5 and G11, and most of my requests for CSD have been valid, though sometimes I am a bit bitey towards newcomers. I believe I am thorough enough to understand most of the policies in Wikipedia, and I definitely do not have a conflict of interest. Thank you for your considerations. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥(ContainThisEmber?) 10:09, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

The backlog is getting insane and I just want to help. I have well over the needed edit count and time editing. History6042 (talk) 16:00, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello! Rollback, autopatrol, awb, 15 year user, looking to help with the backlog and get more involved in a new area. Requested NPP a few months back and got it for a month, bur then dove into some page creation and DYK/GA work so it expired and so I didn't ask for a renewal/permanent permission yet. ~Darth StabroTalk  Contribs 19:45, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done (for 2 months) I don't see enough here for a permanent grant, but I do see enough to do another trial grant during the backlog drive Sohom (talk) 01:52, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

My trial is about to expire and I have been using this right a good amount already. I think I have enough experience to be given this permission for good this time. CutlassCiera 19:50, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to help out with the January NPP drive, as I've participated in the other recent drives. I believe I meet the criteria for the NPR right after reviewing them. Thanks! — voidxor 21:56, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

For the NPP backlog drive. This would be my first time participating in a drive, wanting to get some experience and help support the backlog cause.

For the NPP backlog drive in January. Ewhite31 (talk) 18:51, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Am interesting in helping out with the January drive. I have reasonable knowledge of policy and have created 30+ BLP articles in the past 12 months. I'm not involved in AfC but have considered it for a while already, and otherwise have participated in a fair few AfDs, RfCs, and reviews. There is still plenty I don't know much about that I'm still learning, such as templates and categories and various other processes, but am otherwise here to learn more. Thanks for considering me. CNC (talk) 19:10, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done (for 2 months), AFD participation isn't all that much, but looking at your GA work and the BLP articles you have created, I'm pretty certain you have a good grasp of our P&GsSohom (talk) 02:06, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to help with the January backlog, I have been editing for a while and have a good understanding of Wikipedia's guidelines. Sahaib (talk) 19:26, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

I was guided here by the notification about the January NPP contest, but honestly this looks right up my alley anyway. I've been an editor for quite a few years, largely doing gnome work and maintaining DAB pages, but in the past few years I've done a lot of Recent Changes patrolling, specifically filtering for newcomer edits, so this seems like a natural progression from there. I'd like to think that in my patrolling I'm very welcoming with the newbies, always keeping users that I've welcomed or warned on my watchlist for awhile to see if they ask for help. I know how to use tact when breaking bad news and am quite familiar with having that conversation with COI users who think they're making their own social media or corporate promotions page. If granted, I expect I'd get started even before January and probably continue long after. Thanks for reading! -- Fyrael (talk) 04:25, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights Rahmatula786 (talk) 08:02, 27 December 2024 (UTC) I understand that I am relatively new to Wikipedia, but I am well-versed in its policies and guidelines, particularly regarding notability, reliable sources, and neutral point of view. Being from Nepal, I have a strong familiarity with Nepali Wikipedia articles and their relevance.

I am confident in my ability to identify reliable sources and distinguish them from paid or promotional content. Additionally, I can recognize conflicts of interest and promotional material that do not comply with Wikipedia's standards.

If granted new page reviewer permissions, I would focus on reviewing pending articles related to Nepal, ensuring they meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I am committed to contributing constructively to the Wikipedia community. Thank you

I'd like to help with the backlog. I've created around two-dozen mainspace pages (including disambiguations) and 150 redirects and have participated in AfD discussions. MW(tc) 09:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

The backlog is insane, and I would like to do what I can to help reduce that. The backlog reduction drive does interest me, but I'm not in this for the recognition. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 20:07, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

I request Pending Changes Reviewer rights to assist in reviewing edits. I have experience with editing and want to help maintain the quality of articles. Gwanki (talk) 00:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Have close to 1,100 edits as of making this request. I enjoy improving articles, I review recent changes daily by this point and am familiar with reverting vandalism (and distinguishing it from good faith edits). Having this right would mean I can instantly decline bad faith pending edits as soon as I see them. I have read and understood the relevant policies and guidelines relating to pending changes, vandalism and copyright. Beachweak (talk) 14:51, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done * Pppery * it has begun... 16:47, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Recently, i've been reverting vandalism and disruptive edits on Wikipedia with Twinkle and Ultraviolet, and as an extended-confirmed user, I have over 850 edits. I also revert good faith edits, and if I get this request accepted I will be able to reject vandalism put on pending changes (on pending changes). 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talkcontribs) 22:36, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Even if you're not pending changes reviewer, you can reject pending changes by reverting them. Pending changes reviewer, on the other hand, gives you the ability to accept changes. Rusty 🐈 14:37, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
I already know that, and the reason why im really requesting this is to accept pending changes and to reject them at the same time. (forgot to put the acceptance part) 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talkcontribs) 03:28, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

I am an active editor with page creation review rights and over 5,000 edits to date. I try to keep my edits neutral and have a history of working with others on some contentious topics. If I make a mistake, I try to fix it and apologise as soon as possible. I have a good grasp of WP policy and MOS, and understand the difference between vandalism, tendentious editing and unconstructive editing. I've also got a very good grasp of copyright law (UK and US) and plagiarism due to my academic and professional background. Lewisguile (talk) 09:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done * Pppery * it has begun... 16:45, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request the pending changes reviewer right for the following reasons:

1. I am highly active in anti vandalism areas of the enwiki (AIV, RPP, etc, I even contributed to SPI) so I know what vandalism looks like when I see it.

2. I see a lot of constructive edits when I am on the "recent changes" section, that go unnoticed for quite a while. Plasticwonder (talk) 18:06, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done * Pppery * it has begun... 00:33, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

I was previously fairly active in anti-vandalism and am starting to do it again. I'd like to be granted this user right so that I can accept good edits to pending changes pages. Rusty 🐈 14:39, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done * Pppery * it has begun... 00:27, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights, I want to do a lot more to help the Wikipedia project. Doing quick checks on new edits seems like a nice and semi simple thing to do here and there in my down time. DirectorDirectorDirector (talk) 11:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

I would like to request rollback rights to combat vandalism more efficiently. I am an experienced recent changes patroller and I understand that the rollback should be used mainly for clear cases of vandalism. I am committed to using this tool responsibly. Nxcrypto Message 12:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi NXcrypto, please undo Special:Diff/1265567139 and respond to Worldbruce's concern. It doesn't look like the worst kind of edit warring I've ever seen, but Worldbruce was concerned about it without being involved in the reverting, so you should probably take a moment to address their concerns instead of throwing them away. The edit summary of Special:Diff/1265564114 indicates that their primary concern is you not (yet?) using the article's talk page. If that's true, perhaps change it or announce that you are not longer interested and disengage from the conflict. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:13, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Reverted and replied on both venues, talk page[7] and article talk page.[8] Thanks. Nxcrypto Message 00:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I've been patrolling Recent Changes for a few months now. Rollback will help my work, especially when I'm out and about and can only access the app. Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 15:28, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

I want to note that I am currently recieving CVU training on this page and am willing to apply again later if it is felt that I am not yet ready for this permission. I would also greatly appreciate any guidence (especially on that page). Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 13:47, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
@Zippybonzo: Do you think Cmrc23 is ready for this? * Pppery * it has begun... 16:54, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
I feel that they can understand the difference between bad faith and good faith edits and also those that are damaging and not damaging, however I'm a little concerned about their choices of how to warn a user in some cases. I'd suggest a trial for a month and I'll work with them on when to use warnings and which warnings to use when (bit of a tongue twister), and the use of semi automated tools for anti-vandalism. Assuming they make good progress on that front I'd be happy endorsing a permanent grant of rollback. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 17:39, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Okay then. Granted temporarily for a month ( Done for bot). * Pppery * it has begun... 18:42, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi! Though I started out doing grammar fixes, over the past 2 weeks, I've been using Twinkle and RedWarn to revert any vandalism seen on Special:RecentChanges. It's understandable if you'd like to impose the hard and fast rule of 1-month experience, but I've made almost 300 edits related to vandalism. I always leave a message for the editor and undo my revert in cases where I question my decision in hindsight and would rather have another pair of eyes look at the edit(s).

Having the rollback permission would make RedWarn reverting faster for me and would also allow me to try out other anti-vandalism tools like Huggle. Could I have the right please? randomdude121 (leave a message!) 09:19, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Randomdude121, I'll grant this without expiry, but with an expectation of you please, please going slowly with Huggle for the first weeks and asking rather than guessing when something is unclear. My talk page will always be open to questions even if you think they may seem silly. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:47, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
 Done ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:48, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

I view that having this user right would help in fighting vandalism a lot faster. I know I would be far more efficient with fighting vandalism if I were to be granted Rollback. I have been editing for over 7 months, and I have well over 5140 edits, with a focus on mitigating abuse on the wiki. I am a frequent contributor to AIV and RPP.

I am requesting rollback rights to revert an edit by another user that merged Baroque Pinto with Friesian Sporthorse, without prior authorization or agreement, on 15 November 2024 - a higher-up editor or administrator previously denied a merge request due to "no consensus" in January 2024 - or allowing other users to discuss or dispute the page merge, as indicated for the procedure on Wikipedia: Merging. I have been trying to recover the Baroque Pinto page that was merged into Friesian Sporthorse without success, and need administrator assistance or intervention in order to revert or roll back the merge.

Hello I'm a very sincere and careful Wikipedian, I mainly works on the fields of "stop vandalism", "find valuable resources for articles" and create ne articles.

 So, if I'll can access the rollback tool, then I working on YouTube more flowlessly and without any hardness.

Hi, I would like rollback so I can more efficiently fight obvious vandalism and I will use it responsibly and will always assume good faith. I have over 200 edits, but a few days under a month of reverting experience on recent changes, but please let that slide because it includes around 50 good quality reverts with pretty consistent and accurate warnings on talk pages. I only revert very obvious vandalism currently, and that's what I will do if granted with rollback, so I doubt I would suddenly decide to abuse my power if granted. Thanks for the consideration Fishy-Finns (talk) 18:01, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I probably would let a few days under a month slide if you were actively recent changes patrolling for all of that month minus few days, but all I see is a short stint of RC patrol in early December and another short stint a few days ago, which isn't really enough experience for this. Feel free to reapply with more activity. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:53, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

    Making Maps

    [edit]

    Here's how I make the maps - basically they are all from the Census factfinder web site here. I always use the 2000 census data and if I enter "Ohio", I get this. Next I go to the upper left corner under "Change", click there on "Boundaries and Features" and turn off all labels and all features except the state and county borders (boundaries). Then I get this. I copy the map (right click, or control and Print Screen) then paste that into MS Paint or Paint Dot Net and change the colors so they are consistent with the WikiProject Maps guidleines - I started with the Image:US Locator Blank.svg for its colors. I put a one pixel wide black line around the maps and save them in PNG format in Wikimedia Commons (I have an account there too).

    What I like about the maps is that they are US Government work and so public domain (and I release my modifications under the GFDL). You can zoom in a lot, add streets and water and township and city borders in. Some other examples I have made starting with these are here: Image:Larrys Creek Watershed Map.PNG (started from county and township borders and creeks in the census map), Image:Fort Wayne Indiana Metro Map.PNG (several counties, left the urban areas pink), and my most ambitious county map Image:Lancaster County, PA.PNG. Hope this helps, ask if you have questions.
