Reason: Persistent changes to the player's club before an official transfer is announced and while there is a template that cautions against doing so. Vasil3fonov (talk) 08:07, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – It looks like the transfer is now official. Favonian (talk) 12:32, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
Not announced by the club, and he hasn't even undergone a medical yet, nor has he signed a contract. Read any article such as this one. Vasil3fonov (talk) 14:04, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

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: Been protected 6+ years, lower activity, should we give unprotection a shot? Razorback250 (talk) 01:24, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

a) Your math is off as the article has been protected for 5 years minus 3 days; b) You have neglected to ask the protecting admin, Anachronist, as required by the bright yellow note at the top of this section. As a side effect of this note, they have now been notified. Favonian (talk) 10:51, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

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.

WP:RFPERM (rollback)

Rollback

Recently, I have reverted several edits on pages within the Wikipedia:WikiProject Jainism and some in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Hinduism. In my view, there are very few active users with rollback rights working on these WikiProjects. I would want to volunteer to be one because of the sheer abuse of pages in these WikiProjects. Several users push their POV on pages in these WikiProjects since they are related to religion. People are adamant on their POV being correct. Mutual rivalry is common on pages in these two projects. I have boldly reverted edits that were clearly vandalism and those that pushed a POV and deleted the other, more-sourced POV on pages like Manatunga, Sivabhuti, Jain temples, Pavagadh, Hathigumpha inscription and some other smaller pages as well. I believe rollback rights would just make this job easier for me because on some pages, I have had to manually remove the content that vandalized the page. Rollback rights would just help me do it faster. RJShashwat (talk) 02:20, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done You don't need rollback to undo inappropriate edits. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 00:39, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

I hereby tender my application for the distinguished role of Rollbacker, having accomplished a notable volume of contributions exceeding 500 edits and consistently demonstrated a steadfast commitment to maintaining the highest standards of content quality through the diligent reversion of vandalized pages. I am confident that my expertise and unwavering dedication render me an exemplary candidate for this position, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to further serve the community in this capacity. 2RDD (talk) 10:50, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

In your own words, would you please explain what vandalism is? Using that explanation, please evaluate whether the following edits are vandalism, and provide an explanation as to why or why not:
Red-tailed hawk (nest) 15:49, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I've been at en wiki since May 2006 with 30,000 edits, around 59 pages created, and around 500 articles on my watchlist. I have used undo until now and most often leave notices on user talk pages, but I could do with rollback where there have been multiple edits by the same user, so that I can more easily and quickly provide an edit summary. Thanks. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 18:31, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

 Done DanCherek (talk) 18:39, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Thank you so much. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 18:42, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

I requested Rollback several months ago and my request was was turned down because I didn't have enough anti-vandalism in my recent editing history. I haven't been very consistently active for personal and family reasons so I don't remember the exact course of events after that. After I was turned down I tried filtering the recent changes feed based on suggestions I saw here. This is the latest example of why that hasn't been working for me:

[1]

The vandalism was done in multiple edits and part of it survived my revert [2].

I had figured out a way to warn users after my previous request was turned down but after a few months away I don't remember how I was doing it. I wasn't able to find a way to easily warn the user whose username is not clickable the way it usually is when edits are reverted.

I am not planning to use rollback for anything other than reverting vandalism. Is this process really necessary to get the Rollback privilege? Ben Azura (talk) 13:22, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. You've only made a small handful of reverts since I declined your previous request. That's not enough activity for me to assess whether you'll be able to use this tool properly. That being said, youdon't need rollback to undo inappropriate edits. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 09:20, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

I believe that I meet the requirements for the rollback user right; I've read WP:RBK and WP:REVERT, have enough edits, try my best to consistently warn users, and I've been reviewing recent changes fairly consistently since around May. I think I have a good grasp of Wikipedia's main policies. I'm also currently enrolled in the CVU Academy. I use Twinkle and Ultraviolet but I would love to be able have full access to Huggle and have another tool to be able to stop vandals so I am requesting rollback rights. Thanks :D. GoldRomean (talk) 19:15, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

 Done, although @GoldRomean, please ensure that you are consistently notifying editors when you revert their edits. I did see a few instances where you neglected to do so (e.g. 1, 2, 3). -Fastily 09:20, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
Ok, thakn you. I will try my best to always warn editors :D. GoldRomean (talk) 14:42, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
