Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – WP:DE by editors from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Balakashyap, WP:LOUTSOCK. The article already exists in the redirect's location. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 19:34, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

High-risk template; over a thousand transclusions.102.157.168.108 (talk) 05:07, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

If you're asking for extended-confirmed protection or template protection, this template is not at the level for either of those. Extended-confirmed needs 2500 transclusions and template protection needs 5000. Also, a bot does this automatically. I am recommending an admin decline this request for this reason.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Jalen Folf (Bark[s]) 13:29, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Extended Confirmed, High amount of misleading and biased information coming from accounts that would surpass the lower 2 levels of protection.

Reason: Persistent disruptive edits by IP user(s). BarntToust (talk) 15:26, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Some level of IP vandalism on an anti-trans personality. In particular, a libel case against some of her critics failed, and folks are trying to alternatively include court records or remove court records.

Talk Page seems heated and edits are getting reverted by multiple parties. Would like semi-protection. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 15:55, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Temporary semi-protection: New account persists in attempting to add a fictional character from Metal Gear to a list of actual people, as though the events of those video games were actual history, at one point calling him A man important to my country's history. Egsan Bacon (talk) 17:04, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Semiprotection - Article has seen fairly consistent birth date vandalism going on for the past month from IPs and new accounts. SilverserenC 17:11, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Temporary semi protection. SPA edit warring + personal attacks. Beshogur (talk) 19:55, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated attempts to overwrite this article with a promotional version. The same disruption from the same IPs at Cord blood bank resulted in a semi-protect, please protect Cord blood as well. MrOllie (talk) 20:02, 5 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.

As a new page reviewer for the past couple months, I've seen the value of keeping high-quality page creations out of the review backlog. Since 2022, I've created 154 articles (one of which was PROD'ed, uncontested, early on, but I learned from it and that's the only one ever proposed for deletion in any venue). I think my track record of page creation is strong and I'd like to receive autopatrolled rights to reduce the NPP backlog for my future article creations. I'm also autopatrolled for redirects if that's helpful context. Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:43, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Page mover

edit


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)

I am slightly concerned about the number of recent reverted moves. Primefac (talk) 14:45, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello @Primefac, concerning those two reverted moves, they were indeed mistakes on my part. In hindsight, I should have done a deeper study of the main article Gahadavala dynasty. I had decided to move some Indian monarch articles to be in par with the standard convention of "(name) of (kingdom)" (such as George II of Great Britain), and when I discovered the two articles (Madanapala (Gahadavala dynasty) and Govindachandra (Gahadavala dynasty)), I proceeded to have a quick look at the main article, where I saw the phrase "Gahadavalas of Kannauj", and after performing a quick search through the usages of "Govindachandra of Kannauj" in RS, I arrived at the conclusion that it would be a good move location. After the move was reverted, I dug deeper and read the main article more carefully and found out that the Gahadavalas do not actually appear to have ruled over the city of Kannauj but rather over Varanasi. I have since been more careful in performing such moves, and five monarch related article moves performed since seem good for now. PadFoot (talk) 11:43, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
  Done for three months. Primefac (talk) 15:20, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

I have been editing for over 7 years and I plan on using this permission in order to help with discussions on WP:RM and deal with cross-redirects for articles that should have more disambiguated titles. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 12:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm writing to request this privileged role, despite being under the threshold for number of edits, given my demonstrated history of moving pages, particularly disambiguations and maintaining WP:MOS. The main reason being to move articles over others (i.e. redirects). Having this right would have eliminated creating an RfM discussion for something that was formally renamed, for instance, Sound Recorder (Windows) Thank you in advance.

I'm a productive user that has warned people in the past for distruptive editing, COI, vandalism and more. I usually try to complete things I start and it is very painful for me to look at Special:PendingChanges having tons of articles. I would definitely try to reduce the backlog. 48JCL 23:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

  Done * Pppery * it has begun... 00:16, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

I have been helping in improving Wikipedia for three years now, and I am familiar with the wikipedia policy on vandalism (I routinely fight vandalism by patrolling edit filter log) as well as the main points of NPOV, Verifiability, WP:NOR, and WP:NOT. I'm hoping I can contribute more to Wikipedia by having PCR right. Thank you. — ‎‎‎hhypeboyh 💬✏️ 00:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

  Not done, I looked through the history of your talk page to see how you interact with other editors and quickly found this edit (pure vandalism, and dismissed with "Get off my talk page."). Plus, lots of other warnings (and a block) for personal attacks; copyvio, edit warring, and more, and you chose to respond insultingly to most of them. Advanced permissions require the ability to distinguish vandalism (and obviously refrain from it yourself) and to engage in good faith with messages from other editors. DanCherek (talk) 17:22, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
@DanCherek: I respect your decision, but except for my regrettable vandalism, those other edit summaries were from 2022 (the year where I got my only block), and it's mid 2024 now. I have since assumed good faith, stayed away from violating the rules, and made substantial edits. Is this terminal and it's a fool's errand to re-request in the future? — ‎‎‎hhypeboyh 💬✏️ 07:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
No, not a fool's errand, and I understand that a lot of those warnings were in the past, but edit summaries like this and this – from this past month – aren't ones to be proud of in terms of AGF'ing. Not trying to bring you down, but to set up the rest of this answer and hopefully help a future request: my advice is that when reviewing a permissions request, one of the things I (and probably many other admins) consider is how you would likely respond to a question about your use of the permission. So I suggest first building a track record of interacting with others in a collegial way, on your talk page and elsewhere. If a new editor's good-faith pending change gets reverted by you, for whatever reason, and they ask you about it on your talk page, I would like to have an indication that you would discuss it with them and not just blank the message. I appreciate the recent note on your talk page history, I think it's a good start. DanCherek (talk) 12:22, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
@DanCherek: I understand. Thank you for taking the time to reassess my editing history. Cheers. — ‎‎‎hhypeboyh 💬✏️ 01:40, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

I've been editing WP for 17 odd years and I'm able to identify what is and what isn't vandalism. Also familiar with Wikipedia's basic content policies and the basic legal policy on copyrights. Requesting the right as I have at least two articles on my watchlist (Australian Greens and Linux) for which there are regularly pending changes. I would use the permission to process requests in those article (plus any others that are on my watchlist that I don't see often) and occasionally peaking to see if there is a backlog.

I have been patrolling Special:RecentChanges for a while. I see a lot of pending changes that needs to be reviewed. I request this permission to improve myself and help the community. Martintalk(sign) 01:41, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

I've been actively editing in different topic areas (mainly politics/civics) on Wikipedia for a few years and have created some new article pages. In this time I have gained a strong understanding of Wikipedia guidelines and would like to apply that to review edits to articles to identify vandalism / inappropriate edits.

Rollback

edit

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:

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:

[2]

The vandalism was done in multiple edits and part of it survived my revert [3].

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)
Hey Fastily, it's your call man. I will use the recent changes feed as you have asked me to. What I wanted was to undo "consecutive previous edits" (from WP:ROLLBACK) like the situation I encountered that led to this request.
I am only interested in the tool because I think it is the right tool to help with the situation I encountered while patrolling RecentChanges.
Can you direct me to all the policies I need to familiarize myself with? What if I only get the most recent edit but miss the "consecutive previous edits"? I don't want to be blamed for that. By requesting Rollback have I fulfilled my end of responsibility in terms of what I can control? And, is warning editors a must? I don't want too many demands on my time (limited these days). But I still want to revert vandalism that I see. Let me know how you think it is best to proceed, please ping me with advice. Ben Azura (talk) 19:54, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
We already have Wikipedia:Twinkle which does exactly what you're asking for. You don't need rollback to use Twinkle. There isn't a specific policy I can point you to, and frankly, that's not the right question to ask anyways. There are no shortcuts here; if you want rollback, you need to put in the work, get experience patrolling recent changes, and prove to us that you're ready for it. -Fastily 09:24, 5 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)

Template editor

edit

I've been fixing some dark mode as I spot them, some of those are on template-protected pages and I'd like to fix those directly instead of making edit requests. I don't think I fully meet the standard criteria, but I hope I've already demonstrated elsewhere that I won't go around breaking things that I don't fully understand.

Standard Guidelines review:
  1.  Y (guideline: >1 year, applicant: 5)
  2.  Y (guideline: >1000 edits, applicant: ~8k)
  3.  Y (guideline: >150 template edits, applicant: ~200)
  4.  Y (guideline: !<6 months, applicant: NA)
  5.  Y (guideline: 3 sandboxes, applicant: 3)
  6.  N (guideline: 5 requests, applicant: 3, plus 1 pending)

Speaking to the request itself, fixing ... as I spot them appears to be a sum total of a single template. Is this something you actually think you will need for the short-term future or are you just guessing? Primefac (talk) 18:11, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
Izno granted this in the meantime, but: I do expect there will be at least some more as I spot things that annoy me. {{S-note}} and Module:Adjacent stations are the ones I've spent edit requests so far, and the "Route map" headings on some railway-related infoboxes are probably up next. This would be similar to what I've already been doing on Wikitech and in smaller numbers on mw.o and fiwiki. Taavi (talk!) 18:52, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
