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.


Semi-protection: Recurring disruptions and possible sockpuppetry with IPs having identical goals and suspiciously similar rationales in edit summaries. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 02:15, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

@Ponyo, Can you protect the page 74.14.6.233 (talk) 04:26, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 05:10, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: IP disruption, could also be sockpuppetry when different addresses make similar changes. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 02:19, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 05:11, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Though, the last instance of this was about 8 months ago, I fear a little more coming underway. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 05:35, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism from two different IP addresses. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁=☁=✈) 06:11, 28 June 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: Pending changes protection was added over 10 years ago due to increased vandalism at the time. I don't believe there's still need for it, with its generally low frequency of both edits and vandalism. —Dimsar01 Talk ⌚→ 20:59, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Vandalism hasn't been going on since 2017 when the protection was put up. User1432532758 (talk) 22:41, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Declined That might be exactly because the article is protected. Lectonar (talk) 06:50, 28 June 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.

Autopatrolled

edit

Hello there, I have created 30 articles as of now and i am requesting for Autopatrolled right. Xegma(talk) 07:34, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I have created 100+ articles, primarily focused on television series. And I plan to keep doing the same. Thanks for your consideration C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Link to previous request. (I have no opinion at this time.) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:36, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Extraordinary Writ, I appreciate it. Thanks for looking into my request. — C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 05:50, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Joe Roe, you declined this previously. Do you want to have another look? Schwede66 06:42, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

I have written a total of 48 articles, including 6 in the past 2 days, mainly about hip hop artists. My articles usually have little to no issue. I'm requesting for the autopatrolled right to lighten the amount of unreviewed articles. Roasted; (talk), c. 00:07, 19 June 2023 (CDT)

Hello—patroller @Aszx5000 suggested I apply for the autopatrolled permission. I've created 35 articles as of this request, most of them on California wildfires, and plan to continue roughly the same pace and pattern of article creation. Thanks! — Penitentes (talk) 18:46, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

 Done —Femke 🐦 (talk) 18:51, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

A patroller reccomended I apply for this. To be honest, I did not know it existed until now. I've created over 60 articles, which includes four GAs and a few more pending nominations. IanTEB (talk) 20:14, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Confirmed

edit

Dear Wikipedians: I'm a Brazilian user with a good grasp in Inkscape who is looking forward to help converting some raster images from the following page to SVG: Images that should be in SVG format

My main interested in that is both to contribute to Wikipedia and to get more experience with vectorial illustrations. However, I cannot upload SVG versions in those images file history because my account is not autoconfirmed (it has less than 10 edits in EN Wikipedia, even though I have more than that in PT Wikipedia).

I'm asking for the "confirmed" flag because I'll probably never do 10 or more edits in EN Wikipedia articles, mainly because I have good reading skills in English, but I'm at "base level" writing in that language. Rmesrmes (talk) 01:58, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

@Rmesrmes: you should be able to upload these images to Commons in most cases as most of the source images appear to have acceptable licensing. Elli (talk | contribs) 14:15, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Category:Convert to SVG and copy to Wikimedia Commons is the best place to start, you will be able to both get the experience you want, improve the images, and make them widely available to hundreds of other projects! — xaosflux Talk 14:25, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the input, Elli and xaosflux! I'll work through those images! I've also found another similar list at Wikimedia Commons here [1]. I believe both of those links solve my problem. Thanks! Rmesrmes (talk) 17:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 Not done per above not needed. — xaosflux Talk 17:48, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Page mover

edit


Hello, I'd like to request page mover rights as I often come across articles that do not follow the Wikipedia:Article titles policy and though usually move those articles myself, they sometimes can't be moved due to technical reasons. I have participated in numerous WP:RMs and opened many significant ones, as well as performed many moves myself over the past. Thank you. PadFoot2008 04:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

I am slightly concerned about the number of recent reverted moves. Primefac (talk) 14:45, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

So I plan on using it to address page move vandalism and for other non-controversial tasks such as WP:RM.— Saqib (talk I contribs) 10:38, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

 Done. Primefac (talk) 14:48, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

I am enough experienced for this role (as per the terms and conditions) and I will actively contribute to the community. Arigato! Wowlastic10 (talk) 13:57, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

 Not done for now; just because one meets the numerical requirements for a PERM does not mean they need to have that PERM. I see almost no RM participation, very few moves (especially ones that would require suppression of a redirect) and no RM/TR requests. If you actually find yourself needing this permission by all means feel free to request again in the future, but your request (and your experience from what I can see) does not indicate you do at this point in time. Primefac (talk) 14:52, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer

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

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


Rollback

edit

Reason for requesting rollback rights: i have some experience reverting changes via Special:RecentChanges and i always warn users of reverts i make to their changes where possible, wether this be via RedWarn or via Twinkle.

I think this could benefit me with reverting changes and have much less hassle with it all. JoBo Gamer (contribs) 11:20, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has 79 edits in the mainspace. MusikBot talk 13:00, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 Not done Please see the notice at the top of this page; with only 79 edits to the mainspace, I don't think you have the necessary editing experience for advanced permissions. Take a moment to check out CVUA, and if you decide you'd like to get involved, you can enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more. Thanks, Fastily 00:25, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
