Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Kajmer05 (talk) 09:52, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Died down a day ago. Daniel Case (talk) 04:38, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Relevant to WP:ARBPIA, should be protected per those arbitration decisions. Thanks!. Smallangryplanet (talk) 09:57, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 04:41, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Vandalism 185.84.70.137 (talk) 10:25, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

DeclinedWarn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. The IP is now stale for blocking and doesn't have a long history of disruption, so I won't do so. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:46, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Recent increase in vandalism. Entranced98 (talk) 11:06, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

User(s) blocked: 101.190.140.0/22 (talk · contribs). Sdrqaz (talk) 00:46, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Woxic1589 (talk) 11:17, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will log at CTOPS under WP:CT/EE Daniel Case (talk) 04:44, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Gommeh ➡️ Talk to me 12:39, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

I would appreciate if these could get extended protection as well [1] [2] [3] thanks to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Caspidarya. HistoryofIran (talk) 14:15, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism, this kind of article needs at least - Pending changes protection. Dasomm (talk) 13:44, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. ZergTwo (talk) 13:57, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Edit warring over whose opinions should and should not be in it. In fact, borderline edit waring in general since it began. Slatersteven (talk) 14:11, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

There's also a relevant ANI discussion adjacent to this - Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Ecrusized_and_unilateral_changes
In that discussion, one proposal other than full page protection was to have "enforced BRD" similar to 2025_Pahalgam_attack Soni (talk) 17:18, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. --Another Believer (Talk) 14:13, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes protection: Persistent vandalism. RaschenTechner (talk) 15:35, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Once every half year is not persistent enough, not even for pending changes. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:46, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Since network do extensive coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict - it should have indefinite ECP as per Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles Cinaroot (talk) 15:37, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing and edit warring by IPs. Red Shogun412 (talk) 15:45, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Contentious topic restriction. per ARBPIA. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 16:21, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – an IP user disrupt this page few days ago, and few weeks ago as well, temporary protection will be good. Drcarrot.phd (talk) 16:30, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing by user Loaiza3 and an ever-growing list of IP sockpuppets. I recommend Extended Confirmed protection. Temporary protection did not work. The user resumed soon after the page was unprotected. (A sockpuppet investigation was ended because of the temporary protection; don't know if that would have helped anyway.) The article does need improvement, but this user is simply disruptive and uninterested in policy or education, often breaking things, adding Spanish instead of English, and other confused activities in rapid-fire bursts of editing. Jōkepedia (talk) 17:29, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Two IP editors have made disruptive/promotional edits in the past 24 hours. ForsythiaJo (talk) 18:19, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Also high-risk page RaschenTechner (talk) 20:18, 16 May 2025 (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 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.

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]

New page reviewer who has made over 90 articles including 1 good article and quite familiar with content guidelines, I may also as well not clutter the backlog for other reviewers. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 06:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

One thing that immediately jumped out at me is some biographical articles created (e.g. Kim Na and Son Se-bin) have unsourced biographical information, such as the date of birth. This information should be sourced to ensure compliance with WP:DOB. - Aoidh (talk) 03:07, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
I've considered adding references directly next to DOB, which I did at my two most recent BLPs: Mike Kim and Lee Joon-ho. If birth information is not 100% verifiable, I play it safe (eg. Lee Seung-yoon). Per WP:DOB, links to websites maintained by the subject are generally permitted so I included Kim Na's personal website which states birth year as 1986 in the external links section. I created Son Se-bin over 5 years ago when I was much less experienced, so I don't quite recall which exact source I used for DOB (birth year seems to have been present in Star Today), so I've just amended that. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 04:22, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Ah I've misinterpreted that personal website policy, though it does fall under WP:ABOUTSELF, I've now also directly sourced it. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 04:39, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
@Aoidh did you have any other comments on this request? Dr vulpes (Talk) 05:13, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
@Dr vulpes: I don't, no. I have no objection to this being approved or denied as appropriate. - Aoidh (talk) 10:21, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
 Done two month trial, feel free to ping me before hand and if there aren't any issues I'll grant it permanently. If any problems come up feel free to ping me on my talk page. Thanks for being chill about this taking so long. Dr vulpes (Talk) 03:25, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

I am autopatrolled and an NPP reviewer; I would actually like to nominate User:Kjansen86 to be autopatrolled. I just reviewed and cheerfully accepted almost a dozen perfectly-formulated articles on Zoroastrian texts, and they have made more than 25 overall. Looking at their talk page, this appears to be an experienced and effective editor. Checking their AfD stats, I find one (successful) AfD that they initiated, indicating an awareness of notability. We may as well take them out of the NPP backlog. (This is my first time nominating someone else so if I did it wrong, please let me know!) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Already done (automated response): This user already has the "autoreviewer" user right. MusikBot talk 21:20, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
@LEvalyn: I went ahead and adjusted the nomination so it reflects who's actually being discussed, hope you don't mind! For future reference, you can use the "add request" link at the top of this page and replace the {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} with whichever user you're nominating. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:42, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
Thank you, I really appreciate your fix for this nomination and your tip for next time! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:01, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
@LEvalyn: Thank you very much for the positive evaluation of my work on Wikipedia. I really appreciate it. Kjansen86 (talk) 08:22, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I have created over 30 articles, none of which have been deleted. I am well-versed in Wikipedia's notability guidelines and currently assist new Burmese editors. I focus on creating articles related to Myanmar that need to be written, including those covering current events. Granting me autopatrolled rights would help reduce the backlog of articles awaiting review. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration. Hteiktinhein (talk) 14:43, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) At the pace this editor is creating, I would expect granting the flag to help reduce the backlog. These are solid articles; talk pages are created, which helps as well. I am AGF'ing on the Burmese language sources but have no concerns. @Hteiktinhein, a couple nits: on Padein Prince rebellion, the section of "Members" with an unexplained bulleted list is a bit confusing, and on Thetpan Mibaya, the "see also" section should go above the references section per MOS:LAYOUT. But these are just small things to keep in mind for the future. Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:51, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
@Dclemens1971 Thank you very much for your kind comment on my contributions. I plan to continue creating more content related to Burmese history, especially topics that are still missing from the English Wikipedia.
Although access to Wikipedia has been banned in Myanmar across all language versions, I am able to contribute using the ipblock-exempt right.
Please don't worry about the Burmese-language sources — I have substantial knowledge of Burmese history, particularly the Konbaung era, and I have access to both online and offline versions of the Konbaung Chronicle and other historical texts. I appreciate your helpful notes regarding some minor issues in my articles, such as the structuring of See also sections and now fixed, and I'll certainly keep them in mind going forward. Best regards. Hteiktinhein (talk) 16:50, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello Admin! I have been regularly creating articles and I'm also familiar with WP:AUTOPAT and Wikipedia policies. Thank you! Fade258 (talk) 15:05, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Hello fellow New Page Patroller @Fade258! One question I have is: are you going to boost your article creation? I see only one new actual article created since October 2023, so at that pace adding the AP flag wouldn't do much to reduce the backlog. You do seem more active in creating redirects, so once you get to 100 uncontroversial redirects created, you could apply for the pseudo-right at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect autopatrol list, which I would endorse you for and which would autopatrol your redirects and reduce the backlog there. As for your one recent creation, a couple notes. On Saumya Saraswat, the article subject should be bolded at the beginning of the first sentence. Two of your sources are unbylined WP:NEWSORGINDIA sources ([9], [10]), which are of questionable reliability. Hope this helps! Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:41, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Dclemens1971, Thank you for reviewing my request and for the feedback! I appreciate your suggestions and I will aim to increase my article creation rate moving forward. Currently, I have some articles on my plate to create but due to my personal reason I am not doing that. In the meantime, I will also focus on creating uncontroversial redirects to reach the 100 mark and apply for the redirect autopatrol pseudo-right as advised. I will also take care to bold article titles properly and be more selective with sourcing and avoiding unbylined or questionable sources. In future , I will also select those references considering the NEWSORGINDIA. Thanks again for the helpful guidance and your offer to endorse! Fade258 (talk) 01:09, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
 Done six month trial period, ping me before this expires and if there aren't any serious issues I'll make it permanent. If you run into any problems feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Dr vulpes (Talk) 03:27, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Hallo! I've created 46 articles, and have been editing Wikipedia since 2010. How time flies! merlinVtwelve (talk) 20:52, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Reviewed the last several articles, and while your grasp of notability is strong, I did find an instance of WP:CLOP on your most recent creation that is very close to the line of copyvio if not over it. See Copyvio Detector results. This article is otherwise very well done! Two other things to consider when creating articles: create talk pages (the WP:RATER tool is helpful here) and make sure at least one other page links to yours. If you were to be autopatrolled, orphaned pages would likely stay orphaned longer. Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:19, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I have created 118 pages and would like to have autopatrol rights, please. Thanks. Phantomdj (talk) 01:46, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) I reviewed @Phantomdj's last 10 article creations, and they are overall quite good. Well-formatted, clean copy. They all appear to be compliant with WP:NASTRO. It would be helpful if they could create talk pages for their creations (the WP:RATER tool is helpful for this) but otherwise I think the project would benefit from Phantomdj being autopatrolled.

Requesting the AWB to perform repetitive tasks. I will mainly use it for adding categories to AFd debates, fixing grammatical error, fixing abuse of tags. Thanks for considering my request. VortexPhantom🔥 (talk) 07:33, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

I would like to do repitative tasks such as adding wikilinks, fixing typos, etc Warriorglance(talk to me) 06:32, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi. I intend to use AWB to assist with repetitive but useful maintenance tasks such as fixing common formatting issues, updating templates, correcting typos, and performing category cleanups. Similarly, I have also reviewed the guidelines and will ensure all edits follow Wikipedia policies. I am also familiar with Wikipedia editing conventions and have made constructive edits. Thank you for considering my request and I hope for positive response. Fade258 (talk) 13:24, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

You've requested three different permissions in a week. That looks a lot like WP:Hat collecting. Do you really expect to use all of these? * Pppery * it has begun... 21:45, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Pppery, Well, You're right to ask. I understand concerns about hat collecting. I had requested these permissions because I have specific or immediate plans to use each permission that I have in more frequently, policy based and in constructive manner. If you'd like, I can explain how I intend to apply each permission in current areas where I'm active. I'm not interested in collecting rights for my own sake only as I intend to help where there's a clear need. Thank You for reviewing my request. Fade258 (talk) 13:03, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

I wish to become an AutoWikiBrowser user to fix Linter, errors along with many other things that can I assist with, I understand that I may have had problems with admins and acted a bit outrageous, but I understand my actions and now been using Twinke, Ultraviolet, Rater and more, I believe I can be trusted with AutoWikiBrowser rights, as I've waited my time, and today/yesterday is my 2 month anniversary of my account. Feel free to ask me any questions.

I also understand that I should be checking every edit before saving it and the other guidelines...

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

[edit]

I'm requesting preliminary new page reviewer to help with the backlog drive. Preliminary because I'm not perfect—I've definitely fallen victim to WP:AKON before with my own creations[1], but I also have created a number of articles that stuck, and edited up articles quite a bit[2]. Importantly each process I've learned and grown. I plan to start small and grow over time as I become more and more confident with the process. Just recently attempted to review a draft with obvious advertising and realized the permissions would be good. Thanks,

Requests for page mover

Page mover

[edit]

There are some categories that might warrant moving that I cannot currently without this permission. For tangentially related details, I have a 98.9% AfD match rate, have made 63,500+ edits, and have been editing for a couple years now and am familiar with the page move policy and guidelines. Iljhgtn (talk) 20:15, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

@Iljhgtn even though the permission gives you the technical ability to move categories, category moves should still go through WP:CFD/WP:CFDS. Do you have uses for the permission other than moving categories? Elli (talk | contribs) 02:44, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
Sure, for helping draftify of new articles etc. Iljhgtn (talk) 03:24, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
The scripts: User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft and User:Mr. Stradivarius/gadgets/Draftify both look like they would be particularly useful. Iljhgtn (talk) 19:31, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

Hello, I am requesting to be a pending change reviewer. I have around two to three months of experience patrolling RC and approximatly 1,000 edits in mainspace. I constantly find edits to contenuous and controversial pages, and would like to be able to accept or decline them. Toast1454TC 15:55, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

I would like to have the pending changes reviewer right so that I can help fight vandalism and deal with pending changes backlogs. I revert vandalism and other inappropriate edits when I come across them when I'm recent changes patrolling or viewing my watchlist. I also believe that I meet the WP:PCCRITERIA. Thanks for considering my request. Opm581 (talk | he/him) 23:45, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

Hello 🙏 My temporary rollback rights is expiring soon. I’ve used rollback right responsibly to revert vandalism. Would kindly like to request permanent rollback permission to continue this work. Thank you. Rahmatula786 (talk) 07:55, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello Rahmatula786, from the list of your rollbacks, please choose five examples that comply with WP:ROLLBACKUSE, and say for each of them which of the 6 possible use-cases for rollback applied. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:13, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
Thank You for raising concern. First of all I want to admit that due to my exam I was not able to give much time in editing. However I have maintained monitoring of pages in my watchlist. whatever rollback cations i have taken are in good faith keeping in mind on edit history and my follow up for those pages. Most of the edits I have made is the reason 1 use-causes for roll back ( WP:ROLLBACKUSE). I have like [13] where an editor who has history of editing his own wikipedia pages , I have rolled back . User talk:DarshanAdhikari. Similarly another page [14] . He has been editing similar pages for personal promotion. Like wise I have done for some other pages like [15] , [16], [17] in these pages i saw inappropriate edits.
I want to assure you that I am using this right to contribute whatever i can do for betterment and maintain standard of Wikipedia. Always trying to improve and learn. Thanks You. Rahmatula786 (talk) 13:16, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, Rahmatula786. Reason 1 is for obvious vandalism and other edits where the reason for reverting is absolutely clear. Vandalism is intentional damage to the encyclopedia; many of the edits you have rolled back are good-faith contributions. People tried to improve the encyclopedia and failed; such edits need to be reverted with an edit summary that explains the problem. For example, the last three edits you linked to above should have had an edit summary like "[[WP:INTREF|Please provide a citation]]" or "[[WP:BURDEN|Unsourced]]".
Reverting promotion can be done with an edit summary like "[[WP:NOTPROMO|promotional]]".
I've had a look at your list of rollbacks and found it hard to find examples of where the permission has been used properly, but easy to find examples where rollback shouldn't have been used. I can't re-grant rollback in response to this. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:15, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
Regarding the talk page linked above, I do not think that Special:Diff/1289423000 is an example of messaging someone in a professional, commendable manner. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:17, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights. Have undone multiple vandalism attempts on K. Chandrashekar Rao and Revanth Reddy. Having the rollback permission will be helpful to quickly revert multiple edits. Skratata69 (talk) 17:17, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I will love to request for the rollback permission so I can help fight against vandalism and revert unconstructive edits, I’m also interested to use the wp:ANVDL tool to detect vandalism more easily. I believe meet the requirements and I took the feedbacks after my last request was declined over the last 1 month, I’ve been actively patrolling recent changes since then and I’m here again.

Hello! I've been using Twinkle which works very well, but I'd like to try out other tools like SWViewer and Huggle. If you'd like to see additional recent edits or vandalism reversions I understand completely! TonySt (talk) 23:49, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

FYI SWViewer does not require rollback. (Not a decision on this request, which another admin will handle in due time) * Pppery * it has begun... 18:04, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
Are you sure? As far as I understand when I read the page at SWViewer's website, it specifically says To use this application local or global rollback is required and before I had the local rollback right I couldn't use it. — Tenshi! (Talk page) 22:13, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
Hello TonySt and welcome back! I'll grant rollback, but it requires a measurable track record of dealing vandalism, and you've been (successfully, as far as I can see) starting this record a few days ago. Please ask on my talk page in two weeks and I'll likely grant rollback. In the meantime, please already have a look at User:ToBeFree/rollbackgiven which contains important advice for how to deal with feedback you may receive on your talk page when reverting edits. My only condition for granting rollback is that if people complained, you provided good answers to their concerns. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:02, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for the response, and thank you for the info in that page. I look forward to talking with you in a few weeks when I have a more extensive record of recent helpful anti-vandalism activity. --TonySt (talk) 00:34, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

An example

Hi! I am once again peitioning for rollback rights, I currently have 4,000 edits under my belt and edit consistently, though I happen to run into a lot of vandalism. On the articles I edit, it can get excessive and rollback could come in use right about now. Quite frankly, it is quite difficult and time consuming to revert all edits made by a user, who is either vandalising an article or making unconstructive edits, with it also clogging up the edit history. It would be very useful if I could please obtain this tool to make it easier. Also please see the image! Thank you for reading. Lemonademan22 (talk) 21:59, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Lemonademan22, all you're looking for is clicking the timestamp of a good revision, then "edit", and then publish changes. Or Twinkle to automate the task.
For advanced undoing of multiple edits that were made in a row but are not the latest ones, you can even select two revisions, show the difference between them and then click "undo" which magically applies to the entire set of edits. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:36, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
@ToBeFree None of them work for me, I don't think. Lemonademan22 (talk) 22:45, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
Lemonademan22, you manually clicked "undo" and "publish changes" 10 times in the revision history of Double or Nothing (2025) that is displayed in the screenshot. Rollback wouldn't have helped because all you could have reverted with it was the one single edit from the IP starting with 2601. Clicking the left round button next to "17:33, 15 May 2025", then the right round button next to "20:27, 15 May 2025", "Compare selected revisions", "undo" and "publish changes" would have been 5 clicks achieving the same result where rollback wasn't even an option. Please familiarize yourself with Help:Reverting instead of requesting the wrong tool for the task. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:52, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
@ToBeFree To be fair, I'm still new at all of this and I've had to figure a lot of this own my own. That's my excuse at least. Thanks for your time. Lemonademan22 (talk) 23:12, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
All good, no worries. The request is understandable and you've received a new tool; you had it all the time but it has been activated by new knowledge. It isn't rollback but it's a step forward. Rollback may well be a later step. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:19, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Hey there :3

I'm looking for rollback perms so I can speed up my vandal reversion by using tools such as huggle. I don't have any issues with RedWarn but my more experienced friends tell me that huggle is much nicer and faster to use. (Arachnid's userpage | what did I do now) 00:05, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
