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 on 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: Page was ECP protected 3 years ago due to an edit war. Cannot contact OhNoItsJamie as talk pages aren’t loading for me Heyaaaaalol (talk) 06:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Pinging Ohnoitsjamie. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 12:14, 28 December 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]

I respectfully request autopatrol and patrol rights, based on my extensive experience and contributions to Wikipedia. With over 12 months of experience, I've created 60+ articles and improved 100+ others. Granting my request will streamline the New Page Patrol process. I previously requested these rights last month, which was denied. Since then, I've improved my contributions. I believe my dedication and improvement warrant reconsideration. Thank you for considering my request. Royalesignature (talk). 03:08, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([1]). MusikBot talk 03:10, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) I recently raised issues of close paraphrasing in one of your drafts Special:Permalink/1263547974, I am sure if I check more of your creations now, I will find similar issues. Your creations need a second eye and that is what NPP is for. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:18, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Nominating this editor for Autopatrolled based on a long history of high-quality page creation (80 new articles created in mainspace, with just one deleted a few years ago). Good encyclopedic style, excellent use of sources, images, formatting etc.; also creates talk pages. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:34, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done voorts (talk/contributions) 22:54, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights

Hi, I am requesting for this rights, because I have about 5 new articles that are yet to be reviewed and surely meets the notability criteria, I have been creating and improving articles especially on African Cinema and with this right, I hope to reduce the backlog on the new page reviewers log.

Best regards, B.Korlah (talk) 06:36, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

To support WP:JAN25 I'd ideally like to be contributing to reducing the backlog as opposed to contributing to increasing the backlog at the same time. Overall in the last 25+ BLP articles I've created, there have been few to no edits made by NPR, aside from typos, grammar, and duplicate words. The first handful lacked certain templates, categories, default sorting, talk page banners, and the usual technical parts of articles, but I've since got to grips with including these. Since then I've only moved my drafts to mainspace, or created in mainspace, when I'm confident that there is enough SIGCOV and structure, and otherwise "incubate" articles not quite ready in draft space if not. I otherwise create quite a few redirects, with one disambiguated, and one batch up for discussion, but otherwise none deleted so far. Thanks for considering. CNC (talk) 12:40, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

An experienced editor with around 600 pages created, with few deleted; I've reviewed pages that they have created as part of NPP and they reach the standard expected without intervention. Klbrain (talk) 09:59, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Has created more than 200 articles, with none having been deleted. As part of NPP, I reviewed a recent creation, and found it to be complete without the need for editing. Reviewing other pages, they look to be similarly appropriate. Klbrain (talk) 09:59, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Meets the minimum criteria and appears to be familiar with the policies and guidelines surrounding article creation — a quick scan through her XTools list raises no red flags. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:47, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Confirmed

[edit]
Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

[edit]

Reason for Request: I am requesting reinstatement of Extended Confirmed Rights after their removal by User:ScottishFinnishRadish for concerns related to "gaming EC through adding a machine translation of Fondation Maeght and Rueil-Malmaison in many small edits without attribution." He asked me to "make at least a few hundred edits" to regain it. Since the removal, I have added attribution to the concerned articles. I have made over 300 referenced contributions, focusing on adding reliable sources to improve verifiability, expanding content in alignment with Wikipedia’s standards, and enhancing article quality. I believe my recent contributions demonstrate constructive and policy-compliant editing.

Examples of Recent Contributions: Water metering, Smart meter, and Gas meter, which are in my area of expertise. My recent edits also contributed significantly to upgrading the article History of the Jews in Tunisia from "Start-Class" to "B-Class." Michael Boutboul (talk) 12:28, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for extended confirmed declined in the past 90 days ([2]) and has had this permission revoked in the past 180 days ([3]). MusikBot talk 12:30, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
Boutboul, are you using AI (such as ChatGPT or similar tools) to write your talk page messages and permission requests? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi @ToBeFree,
I use ChatGPT from time to time to translate sentences or correct English syntax, as English is not my mother tongue. I also used an LLM to translate French Wikicode into English Wikicode; it’s much faster than doing it manually.
Have you had the opportunity to check some of my edits? They are far from perfect, but I really try to follow Wikipedia standards (Verifiability, No Original Research, Follow Style Guidelines, etc.). I’m genuinely puzzled—I don’t understand why they are not considered valuable enough to regain my extended confirmed rights. I’ve been a Wikipedia member since 2006, with more than 900 edits in English and over 1,500 edits in total.
Thanks for your time and interest. Michael Boutboul (talk) 10:08, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
From their last post to their talk, @Boutboul seems interested in CT areas. I have concerns about the EC request given other issues raised on their Talk. Courtesy ping @ScottishFinnishRadish who removed initially. Star Mississippi 17:39, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
They're also continuing to translate from French Wikipedia without proper attribution, e.g. here. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:51, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
I properly attributed the translation by adding the template to the main page. However, a bot moved it to the talk page. I even explained this in a discussion topic on the talk page. Translation is not prohibited; in fact, it is encouraged by Wikipedia. Michael Boutboul (talk) 20:27, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
(b) Place the {{Translated page}} template on the target article's talk page, for example: emphasis mine. Nor did you attribute it in the edit summary as required: Add a statement to the edit summary of the target article of your translation providing translation attribution to the authors of the source article, including an interlanguage link to the source (translated-from) article. Example: This continued misunderstanding plus the LLM usage does not inspire confidence that they're ready to have E/C restored. They're welcome to edit in other areas but I explicitly do not think they're ready for CTs. Star Mississippi 20:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Firstly, I am not sure why you are using the plural for me. I am the only one making all the edits, and my pronoun is 'he'.
Secondly, I have attributed the text to a French translation in several edit summaries, for example, here and here. I may have forgotten some instances. However, if I am not mistaken, there is no rule stating that an editor must make no mistakes when editing to regain Extended Confirmed Rights. Furthermore, the quality of the translation is sufficient, as other editors appreciated it and upgraded the article from Start-Class to B-Class.
In addition, using an LLM for translation, syntax correction, or any other purpose is not forbidden.
It therefore seems that the decision not to reassign the Extended Confirmed rights is arbitrary. Michael Boutboul (talk) 10:24, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Using third-person gender-neutral pronouns is pretty common and normal online. I have a question for you Michael out of interest. If you acquire the EC privilege, will you use it to advocate on behalf of any of the parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict, thus violating WP:NOTADVOCATE and the part of the Wikimedia Universal Code of Conduct that prohibits "Systematically manipulating content to favour specific interpretations of facts or points of view"? The reason I ask is that using extended confirmed privileges that way is puzzlingly common in the WP:PIA topic area, and I wondered whether you have considered these constraints. Sean.hoyland (talk) 10:36, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
@Sean.hoyland, Thank you for your constructive message. I believe that we all interact, on all sorts of topics, with our biases; we all have biases. I also believe that the beauty of Wikipedia lies in collectively building reliable content, based on discussions grounded in valid sources, despite everyone's individual biases. This is the mindset in which I wish to use my Extended Confirmed Rights. Michael Boutboul (talk) 11:38, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Is there something preventing you from simply stating that you will not (consciously anyway) advocate on behalf of any of the parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict? Is it an unrealistic expectation given the nature of the topic area? That is what I would have done by the way, provided assurance that I'm not a potential disruption vector in a contentious topic area. And then try to make a case for restoration of EC rights on that basis. Of course, if you did that, you would probably the first editor in Wikipedia's history to do so. Feel free to ignore my questions by the way. I'm just interested in things that might help to depolarize the topic area, like explicit commitments to not advocate on behalf of parties to the conflict (although I'm aware that the adversarial nature of the topic area might, under certain circumstances, help to increase the quality of content). Sean.hoyland (talk) 11:26, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Like any contributor on Wikipedia, I respect the platform's core principles, rules, and best practices to the best of my knowledge. Specifically, I strive to avoid advocating for any side and ensure that both my contributions and those of others align with the principle of neutrality of point of view (NPOV).
Since you raise the topic, I believe the best way to depolarize a contentious area is to acknowledge that every party involved inherently has its own biases.
Anyway, your concern is far from that of ScottishFinnishRadish. Michael Boutboul (talk) 18:30, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
@Star Mississippi, have you reviewed my edits? Could you please clearly explain your concerns? No one has provided a clear explanation for refusing to reassess my extended confirmed rights. Additionally, @ScottishFinnishRadish made an incorrect statement regarding proper attribution for translations. Michael Boutboul (talk) 20:40, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Requests for file mover

File mover

[edit]

Hello, I primarily work with files on Wikimedia Commons, where I have file mover and autopatrol rights. The process of file moving on English Wikipedia is almost the same as the practices on Commons. I also have experience working on files on English Wikipedia, including submitting several rename requests. Moreover, I have file mover rights on Bengali Wikipedia, further demonstrating my familiarity with file management across Wikimedia projects. I am familiar with Wikipedia:File names and request this right to enhance my work. Thanks.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 05:15, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

New page reviewer

For the NPP backlog drive. This is my second time participating in one of these drives (hopefully I will be healthier and less busy this time...) -1ctinus📝🗨 02:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done for another two month trial. – Joe (talk) 20:33, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I have refrained from requesting new page patroller rights, but now I believe it is time for me to request the rights. I usually deal with CSD, mostly U5 and G11, and most of my requests for CSD have been valid, though sometimes I am a bit bitey towards newcomers. I believe I am thorough enough to understand most of the policies in Wikipedia, and I definitely do not have a conflict of interest. Thank you for your considerations. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥(ContainThisEmber?) 10:09, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry but looking at your talk page there have been a fair few complaints about your CSD nominations and draftifications, including as recently as this month. Taken at face value, a statement like sometimes I am a bit bitey towards newcomers is also basically self-disqualifying (see WP:NPRCRITERIA#3), though I'm sure this was just a poor choice of words.  Not done at this time. Perhaps give WP:AFC a try? – Joe (talk) 20:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

The backlog is getting insane and I just want to help. I have well over the needed edit count and time editing. History6042 (talk) 16:00, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

I think I meet the writing new articles criteria as I have 41 current pages created. I promise to only do this on a volunteer basis. I've never been blocked, I also think I'm pretty good at interacting with other editors, I don't think I've ever been in an edit war and definitely not one recently. Overall I think I fulfil the criteria. History6042😊 (Contact me) 21:19, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

@Voidxor: I realise that you're a highly experienced editor, but I'm seeing limited directly involvement with new article work (AfD/AfC/article creation) in your logs, which is the main thing we look for with this right. Could you perhaps elaborate on what other maintainance work (e.g. backlog drives) you've done in the past? – Joe (talk) 10:50, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

For the NPP backlog drive in January. Ewhite31 (talk) 18:51, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done for the usual two-month trial, on the basis of your article creation experience. Please be sure to review the guidelines at WP:NPP before getting started. – Joe (talk) 10:53, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to help with the January backlog, I have been editing for a while and have a good understanding of Wikipedia's guidelines. Sahaib (talk) 19:26, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done, thanks for helping out. – Joe (talk) 10:55, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

I was guided here by the notification about the January NPP contest, but honestly this looks right up my alley anyway. I've been an editor for quite a few years, largely doing gnome work and maintaining DAB pages, but in the past few years I've done a lot of Recent Changes patrolling, specifically filtering for newcomer edits, so this seems like a natural progression from there. I'd like to think that in my patrolling I'm very welcoming with the newbies, always keeping users that I've welcomed or warned on my watchlist for awhile to see if they ask for help. I know how to use tact when breaking bad news and am quite familiar with having that conversation with COI users who think they're making their own social media or corporate promotions page. If granted, I expect I'd get started even before January and probably continue long after. Thanks for reading! -- Fyrael (talk) 04:25, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done for the usual two-month trial. Ordinarily we would look for more prior experience in new article work (deletion/AfC/article creation), but RC patrolling also works. Please be sure to familiarise yourself with the guidelines at WP:NPP before getting started and, if you want to continue after February, just make another request for a permanent grant here. – Joe (talk) 10:57, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights Rahmatula786 (talk) 08:02, 27 December 2024 (UTC) I understand that I am relatively new to Wikipedia, but I am well-versed in its policies and guidelines, particularly regarding notability, reliable sources, and neutral point of view. Being from Nepal, I have a strong familiarity with Nepali Wikipedia articles and their relevance.

I am confident in my ability to identify reliable sources and distinguish them from paid or promotional content. Additionally, I can recognize conflicts of interest and promotional material that do not comply with Wikipedia's standards.

If granted new page reviewer permissions, I would focus on reviewing pending articles related to Nepal, ensuring they meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I am committed to contributing constructively to the Wikipedia community. Thank you

I'd like to help with the backlog. I've created around two-dozen mainspace pages (including disambiguations) and 150 redirects and have participated in AfD discussions. MW(tc) 09:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

The backlog is insane, and I would like to do what I can to help reduce that. The backlog reduction drive does interest me, but I'm not in this for the recognition. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 20:07, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I've been giving feedback on new pages for sometime and would love to participate in the January NPP drive. I'm quite well versed on what the standards are and when I don't I look it up! Would be more than happy to assist. Marleeashton (talk) 09:29, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to join the NPP backlog drive! Spiralwidget (talk) 11:23, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I'd like to request NPR rights to participate in the January backlog drive. I meet the criteria and have previously had NPR on a trial period for the last backlog drive. Thanks. Lordseriouspig 00:51, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

I have been an AFC reviewer since March 2024 and am currently on probation. I want this flag to clear the backlog drive for next month (January 2025). Kindly read User_talk:Sohom_Datta#NPR_request for my previous decline cause conversation. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️✉️📔) 15:29, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) @CSMention269 But you were going to re-request by February 2025. Why this now? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 15:44, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Sure @Vanderwaalforces, at first I thought I have well idea about reviewing pages through AFC. So I just want to explore page curation tool as a part of trial request (I phrased it as "test") to see if I can be adjusted there as well. But when it went declined, I quickly realised that I need to rephrase it, which I later talked to admin Sohom Datta at his talk page, which I stated if again declined, I will apply again on Feb. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️✉️📔) 19:27, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to help out with the backlog drive. I've been active for about six months, mainly helping out in the Task Centre, and I've created four articles in that time. Thanks. Blackballnz (talk) 21:33, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

I request Pending Changes Reviewer rights to assist in reviewing edits. I have experience with editing and want to help maintain the quality of articles. Gwanki (talk) 00:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Recently, i've been reverting vandalism and disruptive edits on Wikipedia with Twinkle and Ultraviolet, and as an extended-confirmed user, I have over 850 edits. I also revert good faith edits, and if I get this request accepted I will be able to reject vandalism put on pending changes (on pending changes). 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talkcontribs) 22:36, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Even if you're not pending changes reviewer, you can reject pending changes by reverting them. Pending changes reviewer, on the other hand, gives you the ability to accept changes. Rusty 🐈 14:37, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
I already know that, and the reason why im really requesting this is to accept pending changes and to reject them at the same time. (forgot to put the acceptance part) 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talkcontribs) 03:28, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

I believe this could help me out with the current vandalism fighting I do that may involve pages with pending changes. I have read WP:RCP, and I have a good understanding of Wikipedia's P&Gs. Mon Bhai converseedits Mon Bhai (talk) 16:42, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

I had PCR rights a little over a year ago (see Special:Diff/883848573#User:EggRoll97 for the original grant, and Special:Diff/1179540299 for my self-requested removal), I would like to request them back to work through some pending changes again. I have just under 9,000 edits, and have been editing for multiple years. EggRoll97 (talk) 07:45, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done. SilverLocust 💬 09:04, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Requesting Pending Changes reviewer permission - I am active editor for quite some time now and recently saw an alert for January New Page patrol backlog drive. I want to contribute to that, but thought I can start with Pending change reviewer first. I have a good understanding of wiki policies, and am continuing to familiarize myself with them. I have also read Wikipedia:Reviewing_pending_changes#Criteria_to_receive_this_permission and understand expectations for both gaining the rights and performing the pending changes.

Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

I would like to request rollback rights to combat vandalism more efficiently. I am an experienced recent changes patroller and I understand that the rollback should be used mainly for clear cases of vandalism. I am committed to using this tool responsibly. Nxcrypto Message 12:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi NXcrypto, please undo Special:Diff/1265567139 and respond to Worldbruce's concern. It doesn't look like the worst kind of edit warring I've ever seen, but Worldbruce was concerned about it without being involved in the reverting, so you should probably take a moment to address their concerns instead of throwing them away. The edit summary of Special:Diff/1265564114 indicates that their primary concern is you not (yet?) using the article's talk page. If that's true, perhaps change it or announce that you are not longer interested and disengage from the conflict. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:13, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Reverted and replied on both venues, talk page[7] and article talk page.[8] Thanks. Nxcrypto Message 00:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Requests for template editor

Template editor

[edit]

I requested template editor a few months ago for working on dark mode issues and got it for the rest of the year. However, it (turns out) (there are a lot of) dark mode related errors, a lot of which are in template protected templates or editnotices. Therefore I request a one year extension for this right. @Primefac: as the admin that originally gave this right. —Matrix(!) ping onewhen replying {u - t? - uselessc} 21:53, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to work on the Infobox game score template by adding the tooltips to the headings corresponding to the quarters and the overtimes. Therefore, I would like to request a three-day grant for this. Abhiramakella (talk) 18:56, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
