User:Iwaqarhashmi

Indefinite template protection: Requesting indefinte template protection for my user page because it was vandalized before, so I copied all the contents of the user page onto a ".css" subpage, but an extended confirmed user added the wrong COI template recently. Thanks! Waqar💬 16:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Uh ... this is sort of a unique request. Anybody other regular reviewer here have a take on this? Daniel Case (talk) 02:14, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
I understand this is a unique request, but I'm hoping you can help. I would be incredibly grateful if you could consider fully protecting my user page to prevent any further vandalism once and for all. Waqar💬 05:32, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Template-protection or full protection would make the userpage inaccessible for almost everyone, and also for the OP. I see the incident of adding a COI template as a one-time off which doesn't amount to enough disruption to warrant protection; I would not grant this request. Lectonar (talk) 06:42, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
While template protection can limit editing access, it doesn't necessarily render the user page inaccessible. Editors with appropriate permissions, like administrators or template editors, can still make edits if necessary. In the case of a COI template, a one-time incident can still be disruptive, especially if it affects the accuracy of the userpage. Waqar💬 07:04, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Yes, that's why I wrote ' for almost everyone. But imagine you want a change made, and if the page was protected like you requested (so you can't edit it it yourself), you would then need an admin or template editor to implement the changes you want to make. I just gave my 2 cents here, and will let another admin decide. Lectonar (talk) 07:24, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
The content of my user page is still uneditable by most users, even without template protection, because it's been transcluding from a ".css" subpage on my user page, and whoever wants to make changes to my user page can leave a message on my talk page. That's a much better approach! Waqar💬 07:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Also, if I wanted to edit my user page, I would just make changes to my ".css" subpage conveniently without needing any admin intervention ever. Waqar💬 07:49, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Long-term abuse/Meena Kurian

Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – Please restrict creation to autoconfirmed. LTA is known for disrupting his own LTA page, which has already been semi-protected, and various other LTA-related pages. He just created this page as pure vandalism. Very few non-autoconfirmed are aware of LTA pages in wikispace, let alone have a reason to edit the talk page. Air on White (talk) 03:03, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Scar (The Lion King)

Reason: Persistent vandalism over the past couple of weeks by numerous new and IP users. Sigma440 (talk) 03:49, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

List of All Elite Wrestling personnel

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Nonsense edits by anon IPs. Vjmlhds (talk) 03:56, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Hari Singh Nalwa

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent edit warring (spanning at least 2 years) pertaining to his caste. Constant addition of a caste contradictory to what sources state. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 05:11, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Toofan (2010 film)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. -Lemonaka 07:51, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Toofan (2024 film)

Reason: It was protected one time because there was high level IP vandalism. After the protection period ended another ip vandalism started and I requested for page protection second time, but it wasn't protected. Now again a ip is trying to edit it with original research. I reverted it, but it is clear that they will not be stale because they tried the same thing with different ips before that. So please I request you not to deny its protection this time and request you to protect it for at least two months because it is gonna be released on Eid-ul-Adha which is near and during that time there will be high level editing and adding unsourced box-office like what happened to Priyotoma and Rajkumar (2024 film). Mehedi Abedin (talk) 09:06, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Houdini (Eminem song)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Launchballer 12:09, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia coverage of Donald Trump

Reason: Persistent IP vandalism issues in the AMPOL topic area. QuicoleJR (talk) 12:45, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Reece Walsh

Indefinite pending changes protection: Violations of the biographies of living persons policy. Has happened over the past couple of months. mwwv converseedits 12:51, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Scar (The Lion King)

Reason: Some sort of meme is going around about Scar and Adolf Hitler being the same character (or something 🤷) is leading to IPs and SPA accounts adding that 'fact' to this article. It's getting wearing. 81.187.192.168 (talk) 12:54, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Steve Ballmer

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Almost certainly the same editor creating new accounts in order to BLP-vandalise the Ballmer article. Chaheel Riens (talk) 13:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Medline Industries

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Various IPs and one newly registered editor continually trying to add a list of competitors. Skywatcher68 (talk) 15:36, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Bernard Arnault

Reason: consistent vandalism from IPs TenToe (talk) 15:54, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Wonderful Pretty Cure!

Want Semi protection for this article and sub article List of Wonderful Pretty Cure! episodes

Semi-Protection: a lot of people are changing stuff and reverting changes like leaking spoilers before it happens. Anime1990 (talk) 16:15, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Adobe Lightroom

Temporary semi-protection: Tag team SPAs add links to download site ... over and over ... can we have a break please? Or is there admin magic that could prevent that site (lrapkp.com) getting linked to ... ?? Thanks. DBaK (talk) 16:29, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

I’m pretty sure the admins can blacklist sites from being linked to, at least with sourcing. Dunno about vandalism though. Blueskiesdry (talk) 16:48, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

  • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page" which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
  • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
  • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
  • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected please use the section below.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Montana Tucker

Reason: This page has been protected in 2008, after several attempts at COI biographies. In other words, very much justified at that time. 16 years have passed and by now she passes the GNG. I wish to undo what is by now an injustice. gidonb (talk) 22:43, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

@Gidonb: Do you have a ready draft article you could use to help justify unprotecting it? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 22:47, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
I have something on my machine I plan to use once unprotected. It's not very organized. I will add plenty of references and tie to the many pages where she is currently mentioned.[1] It's a similar effort really to the Brian Balmages article that I recreated. Was also understandably removed for peacock, yet notable. gidonb (talk) 22:53, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Module:RFX report

Reason: Downgrade to semi-protection to match Template:RFX report, which is the only template that invokes this module. They are both transcluded on 389 other pages. (For a period of three months in 2022 the module was transcluded on >5000 pages because of this edit, later reverted, so the bot template-protected it.) If semi is too low, please increase Template:RFX report to match the module. SilverLocust 💬 06:24, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Module:Rfx

Reason: Downgrade to semi-protection from template-protection. Transcluded on 457 pages. It is invoked by Module:RFX report, so the bot template-protected it in 2022 for the same reason. SilverLocust 💬 06:24, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Calgary International Airport

Unprotection: I think it can have the PC removed at this point, I don't see persistent vandalism or disruptive editing in the past couple years of edits. the only IP vandalism has been minor and infrequent. it's certainly not at the level it was when the page was protected. I also see constructive edits by unregistered and unconfirmed editors. -- Aunva6talk - contribs 15:53, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

  • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
  • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
  • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
  • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
  • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.


Israel-Hamas War

I would like to request that... (the map be updated to show that Israel now controls the entire Gaza-Egypt border) . LordOfWalruses (talk) 15:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

@LordOfWalruses this is not the place. Contentious topics should not be unprotected. 48JCLTALK 12:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
@48JCL: Unregistered and non-extended-confirmed editors are allowed to request edits to ARBPIA pages here. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
The talk page Talk:Israel-Hamas War is protected, therefore edit requests by non-extended-confirmed users land here. That is acceptable, and this request made above is reasonable. The people who actually do participate on that talk page should be reviewing requests here that remain open and haven't been declined for days. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Rollback

User:Adam Black

I think I have a strong history reverting vandalism and would like to request rollback rights in order to use Huggle. I already use UltraViolet and Twinkle and I think rollback/Huggle will improve my ability to tackle disruptive editing. Adam Black talkcontribs 12:43, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

There are no outstanding requests for reviewer rights.

Autopatrolled

User:Prince of Erebor

I have created 80 articles, primarily focused on Sinophone cinema and fantasy literature, with 2 currently undergoing GAN. All of my articles have been promptly reviewed, and none of them have been deleted or marked for maintenance. I am requesting autopatrolled rights to alleviate the workload of the patrollers, especially those who actively review film articles and have reviewed the majority of my articles, allowing them to allocate more time to address articles that truly require attention. As a side note, I am a veteran editor with patroller rights on Chinese Wikipedia, having authored over 200 articles, including a dozen featured and good articles. While I fully understand that there are differences in policies and MOS across different Wikipedias, I believe this demonstrates my credibility and knowledge in assessing article quality.— Prince of EreborThe Book of Mazarbul 13:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

User:SheriffIsInTown

I frequently create articles on notable subjects, having authored 530 articles, with the majority facing no issues. Only three were deleted, mainly due to changes in election results affecting their notability. I'm requesting autopatroller rights to ease the burden on other editors reviewing my articles and help reduce the backlog of new article reviews. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 23:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

With all due respect to this user, I would suggest admins look at User_talk:SheriffIsInTown#Unreferenced_articles_drive. Mach61 06:58, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

User:MinorProphet

Hi, I'd like to request Autopatrolled rights, please. A list of articles I created is here, and articles in various states of completion waiting in the wings are here. Cheers, >MinorProphet (talk) 16:17, 15 May 2024 (UTC) MinorProphet (talk) 16:17, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Eagledj

I have written 93 articles HERE, mostly music, biographies, golf, history, architecture, and people from Tennessee. I'd like to apply for auto patrolled status. I have done many BLPs including 5 GAs and I am familiar with the guidelines. Thank you.Eagledj (talk) 14:41, 16 May 2024 (UTC) Eagledj (talk) 14:41, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Sanslogique

Hello. I would like to request Autopatrolled rights on the advice of user Broc, who appreciated my editorial skills. I have created more than 140 articles, mostly music-related. (I also have these rights in Russian Wikipedia.) Sanslogique (talk) 14:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

I stumbled across Sanslogique's music-related articles more than once as part of NPP, and found them of high quality. They show understanding of WP:NMUSIC, their pages are well written and sourced, and I did not see any copyright problems, that's why I suggested them to apply for autopatrolled rights. Broc (talk) 14:32, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

User:CharlieMehta

I am requesting autopatrolled rights for the second time to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia. My previous request was denied due to a lack of editing experience in biographical pages. Since then, I have focused on improving my expertise in this area. Since then, I have focused on improving my expertise in this area. I may not meet the criteria based on quantity, but I hope my work demonstrates the necessary quality. Charlie (talk) 12:43, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Losipov

I'm applying for autopatrolled rights for a second time, with my first request being denied in April 2023. The reason for that decline was that my previous articles were tagged for "notability". Since then, I have worked on bringing articles over from the Russian Wikipedia and have had relatively few problems when other editors were reviewing them (I don't bring over everything from those respective pages, so I add a tag for expanding from Russian to let others know that information is still there). I feel like I have learned from what I was doing wrong, and in the process, I have made dozens more articles since the decline. Therefore, I respectfully request that I be granted the autopatrolled permission this time around. Thanks in advance for your consideration. Losipov (talk) 17:23, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Ednabrenze

I regularly create new articles until I took a break to focus on work and studies. I have now concluded the studies and have retuned to creating new articles. I am requesting this right to help bring down the large number of articles waiting for reviewers attentions as articles I create will no longer join the queue if this is granted. Ednabrenze (talk) 02:50, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
