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.


Temporary full protection: Content Dispute/Edit Warring. — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 08:53, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. See above. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:51, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Per WP:PIA, non ECP users changing the results of the battle Wiiformii (talk) 15:14, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – edit warring. IP-hopper keeps reverting back to a version with a needlessly longer summary. CRBoyer 15:33, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 21:26, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Article has been subjected to mass sockpuppet edits since at least March 2024. Looking through its history: Sabtamarka, Jinsicad, Philantro Man, Thehamid, Ynilsa, Service Providers, Coastalmerch and possibly others are all sockpuppets constituting the vast majority of edits (except for editors like Whoopsawa who are trying to clean up some of the sock edits). Many of the IP edits are likely logged-out socks as well. R Prazeres (talk) 16:43, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 21:40, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An IP user who, for many years (going back to at least May 2013), has been obsessively trying add false information about a non-existent crossover between this Disney anime series and characters from the non-Disney-owned educational animated children's series Dragon Tales (along with other IPs such as Teletubbies) has returned after over two-and-a-half years since their last series of edits to continue their years-long attempt to add their crossover idea to the article. Their unusual obsession with this idea and long history of vandalizing edits should prove that this article needs an indefinite semi-protection to prevent any future attempts to restore these edits.

Here's a history of the days their edits were reverted (in reverse chronological order):

I apologize for the collapsible list if it's not appropriate to use here, but I didn't want my report to appear so overwhelmingly large by using a regular, unhidden bulleted list.–WPA (talk) 17:14, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected indefinitely. That's quite alright ... not every editor is going to be so adroit as to be able to do it, but it saves time having to go through a year's worth of edits. Daniel Case (talk) 21:43, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

    Already protected by administrator Bagumba. for three days. Daniel Case (talk) 21:44, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: High level of vandalism and incorrect information being entered. Abai Ikwechegh (talk) 21:00, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

It’s had just an IP edit, and you, since 1st June, so not exactly a high level. Also, given the username you’ve chosen for Wikipedia, what’s your connection to the subject of the article? this page might be in your interest to read over. MM (Give me info.) (Victories) 21:35, 22 July 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.

Autopatrolled

[edit]

Hello, I have created 100+ articles, primarily focused on television series. And I plan to keep doing the same. Thanks for your consideration C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Link to previous request. (I have no opinion at this time.) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:36, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Extraordinary Writ, I appreciate it. Thanks for looking into my request. — C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 05:50, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Joe Roe, you declined this previously. Do you want to have another look? Schwede66 06:42, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
I'm sorry I don't have time to look at this properly right now. I'm happy for another admin to process it as they see fit. – Joe (talk) 09:33, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
Joe Roe, I appreciate it. Thanks for looking into my request. — C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 09:47, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

I have been contributing to Wikipedia for some time now and have made numerous constructive edits, focusing mainly on Global South topics. I believe that having autopatrolled rights would help streamline my contributions by reducing the workload for the reviewing editors and ensuring quicker article updates.

I have read and understand Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, including those on notability and reliable sourcing. I am committed to maintaining high standards of content quality and adhering to community norms.

If you could consider granting me autopatrolled rights, I would greatly appreciate your consideration. Thanks. 12eeWikiUser (talk) 09:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC) 12eeWikiUser (talk) 09:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry but as a third of the articles you created have been deleted so far, they will need to be patrolled for the foreseeable future.  Not done. – Joe (talk) 10:17, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Applying for the right as my edits were rationale. I have undergone all the criterions and I fit in all. I am well aware about Star Missispi and Joe Roe's earlier declines, but now I am fully washed and proved myself eligible for the right. From AFD/CSD to AfC reviews, and developing a handful of drafts for acceptance, I can now proudly say that I am eligible for the role. Twinkle1990 (talk) 15:32, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([1]). MusikBot talk 15:40, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
So what MusikBot? What's your problem?? Can't an user improved against AI bot like you? Twinkle1990 (talk) 15:47, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Uh.... that just auto replies showing recently declined requests. I'm really not sure what you think responding to the bot will do. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:37, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
I don't believe I've ever declined a request from autopatrolled from you, Twinkle1990. You had the right revoked by Star Mississippi in June 2023 and subsequent requests for it were denied by Novem Linguae.[2] Hey man im josh,[3] and Rosguill.[4] That last time (two months ago) Rosguill told you it was more of a "never" than a "not now".  Not done and please do not ask again, it is becoming disruptive. – Joe (talk) 15:53, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
@Joe Roe you are an involved admin. Can you please left over to non-involved Admins? Why you are everywhere? User Maximilian Janisch treated you fine while you hammered his article and profile here. Kindly don't abuse you admin POWER. Twinkle1990 (talk) 16:12, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) @Twinkle1990, observing this from the capacity as someone who is not an admin (but none the less a long-time editor), I'd suggest you may consider taking heed of Joe's advice and back away from this for a while (maybe until at least next year). I note in your rationale you consider yourself "suitable for the role", so one may wonder how well you understand what autopatrolled is (though I am sure you know it doesn't impact your editing ability).

Requests for confirmation

Confirmed

[edit]

Reason for requesting confirmed rights

 I am requesting confirmed rights because I am trying to create a new page however I can't do that without confirmed/auto- 
 confirmed permissions. Pemguincraft (talk) 22:13, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 Not done You can propose a new page for creation following the Articles for Creation process. This will allow you to take some time to draft the article and get feedback on it before it becomes a fully-fledged article. stwalkerster (talk) 22:50, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

[edit]

I meet the criteria but am not in the extended confirmed group. Amisom (talk) 23:31, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

  • Amisom, your extended confirmed status was removed here which I'm sure you know. If you are requesting it back, it's best to be honest and forthcoming. Liz Read! Talk! 01:07, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
This unblock discussion is relevant. Elli (talk | contribs) 12:24, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
{{Not done}} FightStranger (talk) 13:56, 21 July 2024 (UTC) struck by stwalkerster (talk) 15:06, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
on what basis? Amisom (talk) 13:57, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
@FightStranger: Please leave this to admins to respond to these requests. stwalkerster (talk) 15:06, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Amisom has made approximately 150 edits since their unblock in August 2021. Based on @ToBeFree:'s comment stating I have revoked extended-confirmation and rollback for now; you'll need to slowly re-build your reputation from lower than zero, I take this to mean that solely for the purposes of re-granting extended-confirmed, Amisom's edit count and account age requirement would be counted from the date of their unblock. Based on their recent editing history (namely to Talk:ICJ case on Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories), it appears that their underlying reason for wanting to regain extended-confirmed is to wade into WP:ARBPIA topics. That alone makes me nervous based on the unblock discussions that were had at the time, not to mention that edits like this one are edging closer to the WP:NPA line than I like. I'm also quite disappointed that the relevant information wasn't disclosed up-front. I'm not going to actually make the call at the moment in case either of the other admins or the remover of EC (ToBeFree) want to opine, but I'm leaning fairly heavily no on this request. stwalkerster (talk) 15:24, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Thank you very much for the ping – wow, this permission request page is interesting at the moment. 🙂 One of the requesting editors above has been blocked, another's comments including the struck-through one turned out to be a sockpuppet's, and this request here lacks information others have fortunately provided.
I could wait for a fifth administrator's opinion, but Liz, Elli and stwalkerster all just explained their concerns instead of granting the permission, so I don't need to do the same; I can close this without feeling like being the single administrator making Amisom's Wikipedia life harder. Hello Amisom, it's been a while. I don't blame you for not mentioning what happened, both in the discussion at Talk:ICJ case on Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories and here; I'd even be (more) open to the request if it actually came >500 edits after the unblock. I didn't really think about "500 edits from now" when unblocking and was looking for a general rebuilding of trust, but stwalkerster has a point: Newcomers need to make 500 edits before gaining the permission, so 500 edits from your restart are a reasonable minimum to expect before a request. Please don't simply request the permission directly after having made 500 more edits, though. That's not the point. It doesn't work in this direction. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 Not done ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:17, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
@ToBeFree I see they are editing in the area and now have the standard ct alert. That does mean they need to stop, right? Doug Weller talk 17:47, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Requests for file mover

File mover

[edit]
I would like to apply for the File mover right to rename files. I've been contributing on Commons for quite some time now, and I've been doing lots of good file renaming requests on Wikipedia. The file movers also appreciated my rename requests [5]. I'm a file mover and patroller on Commons, and I've moved over 1000 files so far. I have a good understanding of the renaming guideline, and I think it would be really helpful also having the right here. Thank you! Waqar💬 14:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Question, though I am not an administrator, I see that you have published accepted AFC submissions, even if they lack citations or are in need of some fixing. And some have orange banners on them. Why is this? — 48JCL 01:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
@48JCL: As they should. The standard at acceptance at AfC is that the article would probably survive an AfD. Nothing more. Declining a draft for surmountable problems like a lack of citations or pretty much anything covered by a cleanup banner is inappropriate. – Joe (talk) 08:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
I spot checked the 4 most recent accepts and they had lots of citations at time of acceptance. Feel free to link to the specific draft accepts you are concerned with. A complete lack of citations is a valid draftification reason and valid AFC decline reason, but I am not seeing that here. A major lack of citations such as entire paragraphs missing a citation (and also not supported by any WP:GENREFs) could be a valid decline reason (WP:V is policy after all). But it may also be reasonable to accept a draft that is mostly cited and just missing a couple citations, such as Draft:Norah Fulcher. –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:33, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request new page reviewer rights to help review newly-created articles and lower the backlog. I have accepted lots of drafts at AFC and participated in many AfDs with deep discussions to exhibit my knowledge of notability, as I was advised previously. Thanks! Waqar💬 19:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I actively edit article and patrol "recent changes" to fight vandalism using ultraviolet and twinkle, I also created and help expanding a few articles. I notice that very high backlog and want to help with that. I want to help with Philippine related, Anime related, and Japan related articles. Thanks. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 08:31, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for volunteering @Miminity, but I'm afraid I'm not enough experience with the deletion process to feel comfortable granting a trial at this point in time. I encourage you to spend some time at WP:AFD and make policy based votes to show that you're comfortable evaluating notability. Alternatively, you can apply to help out at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation.  Not done. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:50, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

I have been requested by a user to review his articles: User talk:Mika1h#Game engine coverage. Might as well review some other articles too but I don't plan to do it long-term. Mika1h (talk) 19:37, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

 Done for a two-month trial. Thank you for volunteering, and please re-apply roughly a week or so before the permission is set to expire. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:46, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Requesting extension of new page reviewer permission following three-month trial. Have enjoyed the work and would like to continue.

@Hey man im josh: I did plan on looking into this before it expired 😅 but no harm done. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:46, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Wait I'm super confused now looking at the user rights log [7]. It says it expired in August but it's not August. Novem Linguae any idea what's going on? Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:50, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
That's normal behaviour @Clovermoss. We just simply wait and the perm will not be removed :) Hey man im josh (talk) 13:52, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
It is? I genuinely didn't realize that. I don't think I've seen this before (but okay). My other question looking at this is if you actually extended the right? It looks like it expires the same time as before. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:54, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
@Clovermoss: That's just the other weird quirk of it that every admin working at perm eventually finds out about. If you try to change their rights, you'll see it's set to "does not expire". Hey man im josh (talk) 13:59, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

Hey there! I'm ThatOneWolf, and, I know I've been here twice before, but those times I admit I didn't really get the whole idea of experience and stuff. Plus, my last request was months ago. I took a little break recently when I just was checking my talk page and watchlist, but now I've come back to editing.

Anyway, the reason I'm requesting Reviewer rights now is because I feel like I could help in that area, with most of my edits being vandalism reversions. I also feel I suitably warn editors when I think they are intending to vandalize, or just let them know if it seems they could be trying to help. I've read all the policies listed in Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, and am very familiar with the copyright laws. This is why I feel I would be more fit now to receive this right. Thanks for reading! -- ThatOneWolf (ChatEdits 12:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

I watch recent changes often for vandalism and problematic edits, and understand the difference between the two when reverting them. I've also reviewed the guidelines on reviewing pending changes. I hope this right can help me more effectively perform anti-vandal work. ADifferentMan (talk) 07:34, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I am requesting pending changes review rights to improve my anti-vandalism work here on Wikipedia. I frequently revert instances of vandalism and am willing to assist with pending changes revisions. Thank you. doclys (❀) 14:28, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

Hello! I would like to request rollback rights as I've been pretty active in countering vandalism since May. I use Twinkle and I notify new users consistently when I revert, usually by using a warn template, but other times by writing a message myself. I do my best to distinguish between good faith edits and vandalism and avoid unnecessary edit wars. Having made around 20 successful AIV reports, I am interested in making patrolling quicker with Huggle. Thank you! ObserveOwl (chit-chatmy doings) 22:52, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

User:Madeforall1, you just had a declined request for this permission a few days ago. You were asked to do some work and don't make another request for at least a month but you waited about 5 days. Did you not understand what you were being told? Liz Read! Talk! 00:49, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 Not done for the exact same reason I declined the previous request. -Fastily 01:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I am applying for the role of rollbacker, having been a Wikipedia user for over 10 years and being increasingly active in the last few years. In this vein, I feel that I have undone my fair share of vandalism and, being mainly focused on football/sports articles, vandalism and unconstructive/unsourced edits are very common in my area of interest and editing. I believe that these rights will be very useful in maximising the efficiency of my work on Wikipedia and will save me time from undoing separate edits individually. Additionally, I have past experience as an administrator on a Wikia project, where I made use of the rollback feature and have good knowledge of its positives and when to utilise it. Thank you for taking your time to review my request. Kind regards, Vasil3fonov (talk) 12:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. 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 01:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Firstly, I must say I was not aware of the fact that you have to leave a message for every kind of blatant vandalism that is reverted. I usually do it in cases where the user is registered and appears to have used the account for more than a single edit, where they have also done multiple similar unconstructive edits. Secondly, I did not know what the tools were used for and, usually, when I leave messages regarding things such as vandalism, I do it manually. I will take a look at the tools and perhaps make a future request if I am able to work with them properly. If not, then I suppose I will just stick to my current flow of anti-vandalism work. Thanks, Vasil3fonov (talk) 05:39, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Sounds good, closing as  Not done -Fastily 08:57, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

I regularly monitor the "recent change" feed now for about 2 months now, I actively warn users when I revert their edits thanks to twinkle and ultraviolet and actively report the clear vandals and spam accounts. I want to access the rollback rights to make reverting easier as I have slow internet. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 11:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

I actively warn users who vandalize/disrupt the pages using Twinkle as well as report them to ARV either after final warning or when an account is clearly for vandalism only, but sometimes I assume good faith just leave a note on their talk page.

Requests for template editor

Template editor

[edit]

I'm requesting template editor privileges due to recent changes that classify parts of the Template:Occupation_by_nationality_and_century_category_header as high risk [9]. I developed this template to help manage occupation categories and have become quite familiar with template syntax over the past year, though I do not consider myself an expert. My expertise lies more in R programming, which I teach as part of a data science class.

I meet nearly all the requirements for template editor privileges, except for having syntax requests implemented in other high-risk templates. While I have edited templates that have become high risk, I acknowledge that this is not the same. However, I have made a sizable number of technical contributions to RegExTypoFix, primarily in optimizing the regular expression. This is the code underlying the spellchecker used by AWB to implement uncontroversial misspellings. If necessary, I am willing to find and suggest syntax changes to further demonstrate my capabilities. Mason (talk) 03:29, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Smasongarrison, that template is only ExCon-protected, and thus you should be able to edit it. It otherwise doesn't sound like you need this permission. Primefac (talk) 13:38, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Sorry, I wasn't clear. The core subpage of the template; Template:Occupation by nationality and century category header/outercore has just been changed. [10] Mason (talk) 13:40, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
I'd also be fine if I could just be given edit permission just for Template:Occupation by nationality and century category header and the subpages, if that's a possibility Mason (talk) 13:52, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Ah, I thought I had checked them all but clearly missed one. I've dropped the protection back down. Primefac (talk) 19:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 Not done (for the bot) mainly due to lack of indicated need. No prejudice against requesting in the future if protected-template editing becomes more of an issue. Primefac (talk) 23:48, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm requesting template editor permission for some edits related to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships. I meet all of the guidelines and have held template editor permission in the past (see Special:UserRights/RP88 and Special:PermaLink/805154993 for original grant), but previous template editor permission was dropped during a period of inactivity on my part. I am not sure if it is relevant to en.WP, but as a Commons administrator I have made hundreds of edits to the restricted templates/modules in the Commons Module and Template namespaces. —RP88 (talk) 23:45, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
