Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

[edit]
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. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The edit-warring concerning the box office gross has started up again. Skywatcher68 (talk) 03:34, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 08:20, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes protection: Persistent Vandalism. Vandalism from multiple IPs/Accounts Mattplaysthedrums (talk) 04:19, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 08:19, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. Vandalism altering school to include information about facility in Nigeria Mattplaysthedrums (talk) 05:27, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 08:13, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite full protection: Deceased user, please protect the local user page per policy. Regards, Aafi (talk) 08:10, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Fully protected indefinitely. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 08:21, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP WP:CRV edits. Brat Forelli🦊 09:06, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes protection: Persistent disruptive editing. As previous attempts at warning and blocking the disruptive user seemed futile, and this is the only affected page, the least we can do is have the pending changes protection to protect against the user's constant disruptive editing, while still allowing for constructive edits. Chyx1095 (talk) 09:17, 24 September 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.

Reason: Wide consensus is good. ND61F (talk) 06:11, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

@ND61F, users with less than 500 edits and 30 days of experience can't engage in that topic area unless they're simply making edit requests. "Wide consensus" on that page move discussion isn't possible, at least not in the way you seem to be thinking. Nythar (💬-🍀) 06:20, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
I acknowledge the existing guidelines regarding user participation in specific topic areas based on edit count and experience. While I respect these restrictions, I believe that fostering a more inclusive environment could benefit our community. ND61F (talk) 06:25, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
And I respect your opinion, although I have to say that there's no point requesting this because the page's protection level isn't going to be decreased to allow for participation in that discussion by non-extended confirmed editors; the guidelines are quite strict with regards to contentious topic areas. Nythar (💬-🍀) 06:35, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
@ND61F: ArbCom wouldn't have imposed the 500/30 restriction unless every lesser method to try and kerb the disruption was failing or had already failed. And the fact that a fifth ARBPIA case was recently spitballed by ArbCom should tell you that the 500/30 restrictions are themselves failing to kerb the disruption in this very emotionally-charged ethno-political topic area. That is not an argument to ignore the restrictions. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 06:48, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 09:01, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

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]

A good editor and content creator, they have created a total of 133 articles. One was deleted via G14 in 2022, and another was deleted via A3 back in 2014. Since then, they have created many BLPs and other topic articles, none of which have been deleted. I think they are good to go. GrabUp - Talk 16:44, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. I think it's been some ten years User:Hansmuller, since we interacted on nl:Lise Meitner. It's nice to see you here. I see you've been blocked indefinitely in the Dutch Wikipedia for various conflicts in Wikipedia space unrelated to article content, but this did not impact my decision.
I've checked ~10 creations and have noted & tagged one major issue (an uncited short para in a BLP), and a few minor ones (formatting, which I've corrected). You tend to WP:OVERCITE (having 4-5 citations after a paragraph, for instance in Sol de Carvalho), which makes it more difficult to connect sources to specific content. It might be better to put additional citations in a Further reading section if there is unused information in them. I'm also a bit concerned with the Car speed and energy consumption AfD, which resulted in a redirect. Created end of December, it shows essay and textbook tendencies which I don't expect in articles from autopatrolled editors.
Overall, feel free to nominate yourself when you've created another 8-12 clean articles, as we're not far from the threshold. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 14:08, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

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)

I would like to introduce another editor with a strong history of editing and article creation. They have created 2,114 articles, including 2 GAs. Their creations include BLPs, which are essential for obtaining the AP flag. Only one of their articles was deleted in 2023 via AfD, and others are G6. Since then, no articles have been deleted. I believe it would be beneficial to grant them this right to help reduce the NPP backlog. GrabUp - Talk 13:27, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

I found out after nominating that they had previously been granted AP by MusikAnimal, but it was later revoked in 2022 by Primefac due to copyright violations. I am not withdrawing the nomination, as it was two years ago, and the issue may have been resolved, so let’s see if they can be trusted now. GrabUp - Talk 13:42, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
(Non-admin comment, but I'm bored) I spot checked their most recent creation,Anthony Michael Hillas, made after this request. Compared to the source [1]
Hillas returned to the University of Leeds in 1959 as a lecturer and made it understood that he refused to be assigned duties similar to those he performed at Harwell
He returned to Leeds in 1959 as a lecturer making it understood that he would not work on the embryonic air-shower experiment
His Monte Carlo computer program, MOCCA, for high-energy air shower studies, was used extensively in the design of the Pierre Auger Observatory.
His final Monte Carlo program for high-energy shower studies, known as MOCCA, was used extensively in the design of what became the Pierre Auger Observatory.
He collected rocks, pebbles, and fossils and keenly followed radio and television programs on geology.
He collected rocks, pebbles and fossils and avidly followed radio and TV programs dealing with geology.
Spotchecking more, like Thomas Wallace (horticulturalist) to [2], reveals similar issues
After sufficient recovery from his wounds, Wallace was assigned to the Anti-Gas Department of the Royal Engineers
When he had recovered sufficiently from his wounds Wallace, was seconded to the Royal Engineers for service in the Anti-Gas Department.
When the land to be sloughed up had a soil type which might prove deficient in some minerals, Wallace recommended the use of indicator plots. (Fun with thesauruses)
When land was to be broken on a soil type which might prove deficient, he recommended the use of indicator plots.
NPP can't deal with WP:CLOP (or anything but Earwig readable copyvio) and all these articles have been sailing through, however. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 07:22, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
 Not done Thank you for having been bored, GreenLipstickLesbian. That was a productive piece of work. There's no way that Suslindisambiguator should be autopatrolled. Schwede66 08:37, 23 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 deleted (in 2015). Mach61 23:06, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Requesting access for updating census data of highly populated Indian villages in Kerala state and other human settlements on this planet in future. Pachu Kannan (talk) 10:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

I would like access to AWB to fix CheckWiki issues more efficiently than I currently do using WPCleaner. I also want to streamline typo fixing as part of WP:TYPO. I understand I have been denied it twice in the recent past, but I strongly believe that I am fit for getting the permission now, as I gained significantly more experience and done more constructive edits.

I would like to use AWB's Checkwiki functionality to alter position of references with respect to punctuation and incorrect ISBNs as I am frequently revising pages that need reference issue support; use find and replace for music album title issues; and use AWB for assistance on creating and correcting items and links within categories of music genres, domestic flag information, and public parks. Thank you. Shotgunheist💬 19:49, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to get AWB to improve articles' layouts, correcting Spanish settlement infoboxes, changing IPA-va (deprecated) to IPA|ca-valencia, adding IPA, correcting links, etc. I had AWB rights in the past, however I stopped using Wikipedia due to COVID-19. Now I am fully recovered and would like to carry on improving things here and there. Thank you. Nuvolet (talk) 20:23, 11 September 2024 (UTC) Nuvolet (talk) 20:23, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Requests for file mover

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.

 Done for another month: work thus far looks fine, but relatively few article reviews were conducted in the first trial. Reviewing redirects is also important, but when evaluating editors' readiness for this permission, we focus on article reviews as these are more complicated and difficult. signed, Rosguill talk 16:37, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

I came here to request that my NPP rights be made permanent. Keep in mind that the two-month trial is set to expire on October 4th, which is less than two weeks from now. I'll be extremely busy for the remainder of this month, next month and the month thereafter, so today is probably the best time to make this request.

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights 79lives (talk) 09:44, 24 September 2024 (UTC) I want to alleviate the backlog for people and I have tried contributing to copy editing as well as read WP:NOTABILITY to show which articles could be under the risk of deletion! As soon as I joined Wikipedia I saw a lot of articles without any citations which I would help with. I am also able to identify orphans and unreferenced articles.

I occasionally rename new articles to fix poor titles. I also sometimes want to move new articles to draftspace. Generally, neither case needs a redirect for the old title. — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 11:23, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi, as part of working at AfC I come across submissions on editors main userpage or sandbox that need to be cleanly moved to draft (i.e. without leaving a redirect). I stopped moving such submissions years ago as if the editor starts another article I was then the creator rather the actual creator which never seemed right to me. It would also be useful for when new editors create/move drafts to the Wikipedia or Template namespaces either in error or attempting to promote/spam.

I frequently make/request moves – usually either making titles WP:CONCISE, or draftifying/fixing typos in titles as part of WP:NPP. I would like to be able to handle more of these myself, including WP:R2 suppression, but especially WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA pageswaps. These usually require updating the categories afterward, which will be much easier if I'm doing the pageswap myself, rather than remembering to come back once my request at WP:RM/T is carried out. Speaking of which, I've really appreciated WP:RM/T, and if I'm granted the pagemover right I intend to "give back" by handling requests there. jlwoodwa (talk) 01:09, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

I have reviewed the criteria for receiving this permission, and feel my contribution history demonstrates an adequate knowledge of creating, expanding, and patrolling articles in accordance to Wikipedia policies. Tvfunhouse (talk) 00:54, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

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. Since my last request in July, I've been making a track record of communicating collegially with other editors, in my talk page and elsewhere. I hope you'll consider me. Thank you. — ‎‎‎hhypeboyh 💬✏️ 23:11, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm an experienced user, and would like to help out at pending changes. I know the backlog is small, but I see no reason why I can't spend a bit of time to make it smaller. I have experience in anti-vandalism, and already some *limited* experience reviewing changes at Wikibooks, where I hold the reviewer right (although I am not super active there).

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)

While I haven't been editing for very long (only a few months), I have rollback rights and frequently revert vandalism. I also review Redirects for Creation, which is under pending changes protection. I've read the guidelines on reviewing pending changes. LR.127 (talk) 17:18, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

I've been patrolling recent changes for a while now and frequently revert vandalism. However, I often come across constructive edits that I can't do much about. For this reason, I would like to have the pending changes reviewer tool to mark these edits as reviewed and broadly acceptable for public view , allowing me to take on new tasks.

Hi! I believe that I'd be a good Pending Changes Reviewer, as I have a good amount of time on my hands, and can do monotonous tasks, like denying obvious vandalism, and the like. I meet, what I believe are all the requirements for this right, and humbly ask to receive this privilege. Thanks in advance! Legendbird (talk) 09:06, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights: I am an Wikipedian for more than three years and part of various wikiprojects I need permission to expand my works on Wikipedia and also to observe Wikipedia articles. Cactinites (talk) 15:28, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

I would like access to rollback for more efficiently combating vandalism. I have gained experience in patrolling RecentChanges. I also make sure to always warn (and welcome new users) after reverting their edits on their talk page. I declare that I have read through all the policies regarding vandalism. Bunnypranav (talk) 11:01, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I noticed you started actively reverting vandalism a few days ago. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend more time gaining experience fighting vandalism before assigning you advanced permissions. Keep up the good work, and consider reapplying in a month. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits (I recommend using tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet which makes this extremely easy). Thanks, Fastily 07:36, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the positive advice. In all of my reverts till now I have always left a warning without fail. Bunnypranav (talk) 07:57, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

I am active on English Wikipedia, primarily editing articles related to Sri Lanka. During the recent presidential election, I encountered multiple instances of vandalism and disruptive editing on related pages, necessitating the reversion of several edits along with sucessful requests for page protection. However, resolving these issues proved challenging due to edit conflicts, which prevented a simple undo and required manual corrections that were both tedious and time-consuming. Given the contentious nature of the period and the number of significant upcoming events, I would appreciate being granted rollback rights to better combat vandalism and disruptive editing.

Requests for template editor

Template editor

[edit]

I have made quite a few edit requests in the Template talk namespace, as well as edits directly in the template namespace. I always test my changes in the sandbox before making edits directly. I am also a Commons admin and have made lots of technical changes in templates there as well. I am currently focussing on turning templates to be dark mode compatible, and many templates and editnotices are template protected. Therefore I request template editor so it can be more easy to implement dark mode compatibility into templates. Thank you, —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 13:56, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Matrix, do you see this as a relatively short-term, get-all-dark-mode-sorted type of situation, or do you see yourself needing this for other applications? (please do not ping on reply) Primefac (talk) 17:01, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
To be honest, more of the former. I would be happy with having this right for 3 months or so. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 17:10, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
