Current requests for reduction in 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.
Current requests for edits 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.

AutopatrolledUser:VaudevillianScientist
I have created over 120 articles (over 40 since 2023) on various STEM-related subjects, several of them received thanks from others and very few have so far had issues. My focus is on STEM-related biographies, concepts, or entities, with sufficient reference links. All my new articles are in the English Wikipedia, but I also do minor edits on factual information in other languages. I'm requesting autopatroller rights in the English Wikipedia to reduce the workload of other editors in reviewing my articles. VaudevillianScientist (talk) 12:56, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
User:Ipscaij
@Ryan shell has suggested me to request autopatrol rights. I'm often creating simple articles about beetles in English (from the groups I'm personally already familiar with or learning about) and later expanding them if the existing resources allow me to do so. This is to allow other people to find this information and pictures more easily (otherwise it's often scattered on the internet and hard to find). I'm requesting autopatroller rights because I create large batches of articles at once, as Ryan mentioned. I only use reliable sources to provide information for Wikipedia Ipscaij (talk) 09:07, 14 June 2024 (UTC) User:Xegma

File moverUser:Lunar-akaunto
Hello. I'm requesting file mover rights. I've uploaded 21 files till now. Please note that when I started uploading, I did not know we were supposed to change the file names to English. My reasoning was that the files I uploaded will certainly not need to be moved or used elsewhere as they are non-free and their original titles can be preserved. I changed this, which reflects in my recently uploaded files after a fellow editor's mention regarding the same on my talk page. I'm familiar with Wikipedia:File mover and the first thing I'll do if I'm granted the rights will be to update my previously uploaded file names to English, but I believe it will be helpful in the future and will only use it to rename files uploaded by others when necessary.
User:Boneless Pizza!
I am familiar with the image policies. I have upload like several non-free images and audios to the articles. Sometimes I made some typo error like I did with this one File:Undertale Art Book sans progession.png, which made me unable to move it to a correct title. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 13:18, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

User:MikutoH
I believe I'm capable of reviewing new articles and drafts. Check my global contributions and user rights. Though this specific user group doesn't exist on ptwiki, my first-language/native Wikipedia, I believe I have potential in helping others creating articles and filtering enwiki. I have the draftify script installed and knowledge with policies. I've been working and have created some articles, such as Sapphism, Asexual flag, Plurisexuality, and Lists of LGBT politicians, as it shows, I have interest in sexuality area, as well as lists, categories, and redirects, as shown in my edits. --MikutoH talk! 00:33, 17 June 2024 (UTC) User:Extorc
I have more than 6000 edits as an editor over a time period of around 3 years. I have created several pages which I continue to maintain and have participated in processes like Request for moves and closures as well. Iv taken initiative in Anti-Vandalism work. I can help reduce the backlog. >>> Extorc.talk 14:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC) User:SafariScribe

User:PadFoot2008
Hello, I'd like to request page mover rights as I often come across articles that do not follow the Wikipedia:Article titles policy and though usually move those articles myself, they sometimes can't be moved due to technical reasons. I have participated in numerous WP:RMs and opened many significant ones, as well as performed many moves myself over the past. Thank you. PadFoot2008 04:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC) User:98Tigerius
Hello, I would like to request a page mover permission to easily draftify page without a redirect of the previous page title and to help out more at RM. I also familiarized myself with the prerequisite required for this permission. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 • [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 05:11, 16 June 2024 (UTC) User:Melcous
In patrolling new pages, I have often draftified articles that are not sourced, or have COI issues, as well as moved new articles with incorrectly formatted titles. Having page mover rights would avoid the creation of redirects, and would also give me the opportunity to get involved at Requested Moves. Melcous (talk) 06:16, 17 June 2024 (UTC) User:Saqib

I've created many biographies and have a good understanding of Wikipedia policies. I've fixed vandalism many times and fixed many biography of living persons violations. RowanJ LP (talk) 15:20, 7 May 2024 (UTC) User:M S Hassan
I am requesting Pending Changes Reviewer rights to assist in maintaining the quality of Wikipedia articles. I have been an active editor for almost 3 years, with over 16,000 edits. My contributions reflect a solid understanding of Wikipedia's content policies, including verifiability, neutrality, and no original research. I regularly engage in discussions to improve articles. I am committed to ensuring that pending changes are reviewed promptly and accurately. M S Hassan (talk) 17:25, 11 June 2024 (UTC) User:Myrealnamm
Hi there! I'm requesting Pending changes reviewer so I can review changes. I have read Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes and the other pages to read (such as WP:VANDALISM and WP:COPYRIGHT), and I have been fighting vandalism for about 2 months now. Having this user right will help me reduce the number of articles listed at Special:PendingChanges. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 21:24, 11 June 2024 (UTC) User:Garsh2
Good day! I am requesting reviewer rights to extend my ability to patrol recent changes to include recent change protected articles. I have done extensive, recent work fighting vandalism (RCP) and following related policies in doing so (warning users, improving good faith edits with problems, etc). Through this work (and editing), I have gained an extensive understanding of WP:NPOV, WP:BLP, and more. I do not boast a large quantity of edits (most of my older edits were not logged in), but I am convinced that the quality of my edits meets the criteria for this permission. I have created a handful of pages, during which I have come to understand reliable source requirements, original research guidelines, and what is constructive (and what is not). I believe my discussions with other Wikipedians and detailed comments related to unconstructive good faith edits will demonstrate that I am not here to bite the newcomers. I hope I will be permitted to expand my improvements to the English Wikipedia. Thank you for your consideration. Garsh (talk) 22:55, 13 June 2024 (UTC) |
