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.


Reason: Persistent vandalism by anonymous IP Surayeproject3 (talk) 14:04, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Correcting my reasoning to:
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing[1] - IP user continuously switches the article between Aramean and Assyrian, while the sources use the name "Assyrian" and linked articles use Assyrian as well Surayeproject3 (talk) 14:10, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Surayeproject3, no need to link "disruptive editing"--we know what it is. You reverted that IP twice; if you had warned them each time, I could simply block them right now. Drmies (talk) 15:57, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
Sounds good, thanks for the help. If they continue to make these types of edits after the 60 hour block, should I follow up with you? Surayeproject3 (talk) 17:50, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Sporadic IP/unregister user vandalism. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 20:12, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ad Orientem (talk) 20:48, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. FMSky (talk) 21:58, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will leave CTOPS notice on talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 22:05, 11 October 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.

Reason: What you did is a disgrace. You are covering up for rapist of children. Those children and women need justice, and to be able to speak for themselves, not to be dehumanized by your political agenda. 136.244.7.9 (talk) 20:52, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 21:01, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
    Not unprotected Does not state a reason for unprotection. If this is about the page move, you can go back to the comments section at whatever website you came here from and tell them you did your virtue signaling for the day and reap whatever brownie points you were hoping for. Daniel Case (talk) 22:10, 11 October 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.


I want to add a little information inside the template since houthi is already added on the Belligerents side i think we should add the casualties of the yemani also in the template same as egyptians or syrians especially those who died as resulted from isreali airstrike and according to those articles 20 July 2024 Israeli attack on Yemen and 29 September 2024 Israeli attacks on Yemen, the yemani casualties are 20 killed, and +147 injured 70.26.36.11 (talk) 03:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

In the second paragraph it states that "The desire to prevent the collapse of the Palestinians and to avoid more refugees were some of the reasons for the entry of the Arab League into the country, which began the 1948 Arab–Israeli War." It is absurd to characterize the invasion by the Arab league into Israel, which triggered the War of Independence as an "entry". The words "entry of" should be changed to "invasion by" which is supported by the source text and just about every other paper on the Israeli War of Independance. Apndrew (talk) 01:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

My suggestion is to leave out the following 2 sentences in the "German complicity" paragraph as they seem to be based on misunderstandings:

"She also highlighted police suppression of pro-Palestine protests throughout Germany[509] as evidence of state complicity.[508] Karen Wells et al. highlight how Germany has entrenched its complicity in Israel's actions by banning use of the word "genocide" in reference to Israel.[471][better source needed]"

1. In general violent protests are not allowed in Germany. As some of the first pro-Palestine protests were violent, they were sometimes forbidden by courts, if they were expected to turn violent. But that is common policy in Gemany with all subjects and not special for pro-Palestine protests.

Meanwhile, there even is a calendar concerning pro-Palestinian protests[2] with daily up to 20 protests all over Germany. Thus, there is no general police suppression of pro-Palestine protests as is suggested by the current wording.

2. The word “genocide” is not banned in reference to Israel in Germany - maybe that was a misunderstanding: What is not allowed in Germany is to call for genocide against Jews. The slogan “From the river to the sea” is seen as such call and banned. Gilbert04 (talk) 15:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

[edit]

Meets the minimum criteria, and a random sampling of their creations doesn't raise any red flags. My only concern is their liberal use of quotations in reception sections, but I don't consider it an overly serious issue for this permission as the copyright reports come away otherwise clean; I've also started a discussion on their talk page about it. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 18:54, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia Admins, I am requesting the Autopatrolled right to further support my contributions to Wikipedia. While I may not have thousands of edits or article creations, my work is rooted in careful research and learning from experienced editors. My focus is on Iranian early modern, modern, and contemporary art and culture, especially highlighting the stories of Iranian women often overlooked in history. I ensure all my edits are supported by reliable, academic sources, and I have a track record of accurate contributions with very few reverts. I believe that having the Autopatrolled right would allow me to continue enhancing the articles related to Iran and Iranian art and culture. Thank you for your consideration. Warm regards, Hounaam (talk) 22:53, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

I am requesting the Autopatrolled right, like any other editor, to help reduce the NPP work load. I have worked at AFC/NPP/AFD, and I've created good articles that would pass a deletion discussion if nominated. Cheers! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 11:47, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

@Cocobb8, importScript('User:Ohconfucius/script/MOSNUM dates.js'); ''// Backlink: [[User:Ohconfucius/script/MOSNUM dates.js]]'' this could help? Best, Reading Beans 15:59, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
@Reading Beans Yes it would, but that was just en example. I also take part in the Wikipedia Unreferenced Articles project and often find very similar articles that need the same edit done to multiple of them, which is also why I'd find AWB beneficial. Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 15:33, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

I've been asked to create talk pages (linking to wikiprojects) for category pages which I have created. This would be easy with AWB (there are a lot of them). Perspicax (talk) 13:37, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

AWB would be helpful for tasks like fixing simple citation template errors, which I've been doing off and on since I made an account. I'd also like to continue leaning into other WikiGnome things (typos, ...). FifthFive (talk) 04:17, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to use the AWB tool to fix typos and minor formatting mistakes. I also have AWB rights on Wikimedia Commons. Thank you! Waqar💬 16:31, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm improving references by adding wikilinks to relevant parameters. See this AWBREQ for example. I don't plan on doing this across-the-board, just for articles that I'd edit either way and I notice missing links. Thanks Nobody (talk) 12:14, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

[edit]

I have been a registered user on Wikipedia for several years, with over 500 undeleted mainspace edits. I possess a strong understanding of content policies and guidelines, supported by my experience in quality control processes. I have actively participated in deletion processes like AfD, PROD, and CSD, contributed to Articles for Creation, and written new articles. I maintain a solid track record of interacting civilly and constructively with other editors, especially newcomers. I have no active behavioral blocks or 3RR violations within the last 6 months, and I am committed to reviewing pages solely on a volunteer basis. Imad_J (talk) 13:26, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

عماد الدين المقدسي, could you comment on your creation of Tyrone Smith (musician) in 2020? While old substandard articles are not automatically disqualifying for this permission, between the lack of extensive article creations since then (or even just edits on en.wiki in general since then), and the fact that the article has been repeatedly recreated and deleted via WP:A7, it does raise some concern. signed, Rosguill talk 18:56, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
Requests for page mover

Page mover

[edit]


I often move poorly-titled pages to more appropriate titles, usually to make them more WP:CONCISE, specific, neutral, or to correct spelling and transliterations. I also revert undiscussed moves in line with WP:RMUM. I would greatly appreciate having the ability to manage this myself. Skitash (talk) 21:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. You've only performed a total of 30 page moves and have 0 edits to WP:RMTR. I don't see a need for the perm at this point, nor do I see enough experience with page moves yet. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:17, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to get this right to delete unnecessary redirects (i.e. move pages over existing single revision redirects regardless of target). Additionally, I would also like to try to harmonize some pages of Spanish municipalities with the name of the country and the province (when necessary) instead of other subnational units (such as comarca). Moreover if a double denomination exists in some cases, I shall use the slash with spaces in between to enhance visual effect of different linguistic nomenclatures. However if an English form is more relevant I shall use it instead of double and local denominations. Other than that I could help elsewhere to move pages if necessary. Thank you, Nuvolet (talk)

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

Hello hello, I have been a Wikipedian for well over 4 months now, and I feel that I have learned a great many things about the site in terms of editing, content, policies, and conduct that I could have never imagined beforehand. If given this right, I humbly commit to using it to the utmost competent and fair / legitimate nature that I possibly can. Thank you Aliy Dawut (talk) 02:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: user blocked. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:18, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

I've been doing RC Patrolling (as a part of Anti-Vandalism) on Wikipedia for a while now, and I think that having the Pending Changes reviewer permission could be a good idea - there have been numerous instances involving a pending changes edit that I look at while looking through Special:RecentChanges that i wanted to accept/deny/etc, and i feel that this permission would be beneficial for my efficeincy. DM5Pedia 04:34, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I believe that I'd be a good Pending Changes Reviewer, as I have a good amount of time on my hands, and can do monotonous tasks, like denying obvious vandalism, and the like.

Hi! I've been using Wikipedia on-and-off since 2020, but I'm starting to become more active. I'd like to become a pending change reviewer, as I've often wanted to help out but have struggled finding where I can actually contribute, and I think this is a good place to contribute. I'm familiar with the guidelines, as well. Thx56 (talk) 21:28, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. You're relatively new to Wikipedia and you only have 83 total edits, which doesn't give us enough of a track record to evaluate. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:18, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights: I have been a wikipedia editor for some time now and love to revert vandalism and unconstructive edits to prevent the spread of problems on wikipedia. I currently am a Recent Changes patrol and love my job! I have successfully achieved 1000 total edits (or ~ 325 mainspace edits) on the english wikipedia. I can't wait to be a pending changes reviewer, as it will allow me to stop the spread of vandalism even farther! Thanks, Cooldudeseven7 (Cheers! Let's Discuss over a cup of tea!)

Can I get RPC? I do about 20 edits per day, I help out newcomers (if i can) at the Teahouse, I have red all the policies and guidelines. Can I get pending changes reviewer? Electrou (formerly Susbush) (talk) 12:28, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I am a Wikipedian with a heavy focus on anti-vandalism work and would like this permission to be able to further contribute to the field. I have read the basic content policies, WP:BLP, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:V, and WP:NOT. Also, I have contributed with many vandalism reverts and am already familiar with what vandalism is and is not WP:VANDAL and already have the rollback right. I have also read WP:COPYRIGHT and have helped a little bit in deleting copyvios that already existed. I would love to be able to help even more and expand what I can do.

Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

I regularly patrol the recent changes page using filters that flag edits that may have problems or could be vandalism. With confirmed vandals, I keep an eye on their contributions for a short time afterwards to catch any resumed vandalism, while continuing to patrol recent changes. I previously used RedWarn, but I currently use UltraViolet and Twinkle. Rollback would enhance my recent change patrolling and anti-vandalism efforts. Thank you. R0paire-wiki (talk) 04:48, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). 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 05:57, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
Yes I do use those tools, I believe in those cases I was concerned about biting a newcomer from a good faith or unnecessary edit, though I should have still given a notification to their talk to explain the reversion (which I now see more soft-worded warnings when using UV). I appreciate the feedback, I'll just continue as is without Rollback but being more thorough when giving any warnings or notices. Thank you. R0paire-wiki (talk) 00:43, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
Appreciate the honesty, please feel free to reapply when you're feeling more prepared. Closing as  Not done -Fastily 19:07, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have seen multiple non-notable articles specifically about pages of Indian armed forces officials which have been vandalised and since they are not visited regularly by people with rollback rights, it is difficult to revert them line by line. Sensitive regional topic related articles too aren't regularly visited by editors, hence once vandalised, it may take weeks or even months for such articles to get to the notice of mainstream editors. I generally resort to line by line editing and proof reading of such articles which I find, hence have less reverting and undo count. I am a trusted editor, hence any concerns about misuse of this right may be disposed. VSankeerthSai1609 (talk) 08:08, 10 October 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 19:07, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I have read all the policies and guidelines, I have 200 mainspace edits. Can I get Rollback? Electrou (formerly Susbush) (talk) 10:00, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have done TWO rollback rights request, and I am happy to say that I have surpassed 200 mainspace edits and have also surpassed 1 month of Recent Changes Patrolling.I love the ability to help, and I already love to prevent vandalism with the help of Ultraviolet and Twinkle. I am ready to join the rollbacker force to get access to more tools, like AntiVandal and Huggle for even faster response. Don't worry, I won't bite the newcomers unless necessary!

Requests for template editor

Template editor

[edit]

I already work on templates from time to time, to improve formatting, fix links, add features, etc. My record speaks for itself that I am careful in making changes. Thanks. P 1 9 9   13:27, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

@Primefac: My "need for the right, as well as a familiarity with the care and responsibility required" is proven by my overall record and experience with WP, not necessarily meeting an arbitrary guideline limit. Thanks. -- P 1 9 9   15:23, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
I made no claims about your need, or lack thereof. I was simply filling out the standard guideline review. Primefac (talk) 15:36, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
@P199: can you give a few specific examples of where having template editor would be useful for you? Elli (talk | contribs) 16:40, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Due to the chronic shortage of admins at DYK to perform prep-to-queue moves, the protection levels were recently downgraded to Template editor - really per WT:DYK#Plan of action v2 but you may wish to start at WT:DYK#Giving queues template instead of full protection? for the full context. I would like to help with this. Launchballer 16:06, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Launchballer, I suggest you remove this request for now as the process for making these requests is still under discussion at WT:DYK. Thanks, Gatoclass (talk) 22:57, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

— Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:22, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

I don't think it is appropriate that Launchballer was pressurised to withdraw this request, and so have completed a review anyway. I note that nearly all the edits to template namespace are to subpages of Template:Did you know nominations and are content-related rather than technical in nature. Criteria 5 and 6 are not met - these are designed to assess the need for the template editor user right. In this case there is clear demonstrable need, so I believe we may be able to exercise discretion, even if this is not a scenario that TPE was designed for. As this is potentially controversial, I will not act unilaterally in granting the user right but will wait for comments from other admins patrolling this page — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:26, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
I think the "need for the right" should be demonstrated alternatively for cases like this by edits to the DYK prep templates or edit requests at WP:ERRORS or WP:DYK for the DYK queues. Launchballer has plenty of experience in these areas. —Kusma (talk) 08:29, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
I don't know if it helps, but I've struck my withdrawal. If this is successful, I will wait for WT:DYK to say so before actually using it.--Launchballer 08:48, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

I feel like WP:INVOLVED prevents me from actioning this request myself, but I will say that having worked with Launchballer for several years at DYK, I trust them not to abuse this privilege. RoySmith (talk) 13:16, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Based on my interactions with Launchballer since my return, I concur with RoySmith. I recommend approving this request, as there is a clear understanding of the specific area to be worked, and Launchballer has a good enough head on their shoulders to reach out for help if they are having difficulty.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:01, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
