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: Potentially contentious topic + Consistent POV editing by IPs, please lock to extended confirmed. An example of one of the bizarre POV revisions on this page

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Use of Non Reliable sources and addition of unsourced content. Also per WP:UKRRUS Mr.User200 (talk) 00:00, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: many taxonomy templates are high-use templates like this one and are template-protected. So I seek to template-protect this taxonomy template that is used on about 65,000 pages. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 01:39, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: There is persistent edit warring over the page right now with me and another user. -- While looking for other suitable things to do beside edit war over the page now I'm trying to look at other options I should've done from the start -- such as RFPP.

Reason: Repeated unsourced changes to her height, from a variety of IP addresses. AmritR012 (talk) 05:59, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This is for the talk page, not the article. It looks like someone's been testing out an automated editing script here for the last week. There have been almost 100 additions of a single uppercase letter, immediately followed by the removal of that letter. A couple of IP addresses have been used. Maybe semi the page for a month?.

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: If I'm reading the logs correctly, this protection carried over from a page of the same name created in 2020. That page was protected for violations of BLP. There doesn't seem to be any reason for the current incarnation of the page to be protected. 2403:6200:8810:F964:B067:4711:4774:5642 (talk) 09:21, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Unprotected by JPxG. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:08, 15 July 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.

Page mover

I have been editing for over 7 years and I plan on using this permission in order to help with discussions on WP:RM and deal with cross-redirects for articles that should have more disambiguated titles. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 12:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

This user right will be super useful to me for moving unsuitable articles to draft space (eliminating the need to tag the resulting redirect with R2), dealing with articles created by new users in the wrong namespace (that I come across a lot as a vandalism patroller), and performing a round-robin move on two pages (that I try to fix occasionally when an editor copy-pastes an article). I've familiarized myself with the guidelines for moving and the article title policy. Ae245 (talk) 08:05, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

(Non-admin comment) @Ae245: If you use User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft, it will automatically tag the redirect for deletion, along with other things like notifying the creator of the article per WP:DRAFTIFY and warning you when the article was last edited in the past hour, such that it shouldn't be draftified yet per WP:NPPHOUR/WP:DRAFTNO. SilverLocust 💬 07:53, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

I have moved quite a number of pages per WP:RM, and submitted many to WP:RM/TR. Since I wasn't of age to have this right, it was declined. Today, I logged in to Wikipedia Library, and because it worked, it means that I have reached the six months criteria for a page mover. I still want to volunteer here, and will be happy if granted.

Pending changes reviewer

edit

Hello! I'm S-Aura. I've been editing Wikipedia for a few years. I've added new articles and learned how Wikipedia works. I'm good at finding mistakes and fixing them.

Now, I want to help review edits to make sure the information on Wikipedia is correct and reliable. I think it's important for people to have access to accurate information, and I want to help make that happen.

Thankyou! 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 19:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done at this time. I'm not seeing any anti-vandalism work in your Wikipedia editing history and I also have concerns about your understanding of the policy on biographies of living persons given your creation of articles like Luca Verhoeven. DanCherek (talk) 16:44, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

I would like to help out reviewing edits before it is published as an live article. I do have good experience. I am aware that statements must be sourced, and I know what is considered nonsense.Cwater1 (talk) 18:50, 11 July 2024 (UTC) Cwater1 (talk) 18:50, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I want gain better experience before attempting to obtain the high honor of one these permissions. I enjoy contributing. Cwater1 (talk) 02:39, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

I've been editing on Wikipedia consistently for almost a year, focusing on fighting vandalism, fixing citations, and archival. I believe that having this permission could aid in the approval of constructive pending changes that I often come across while fighting vandalism. I have made roughly 1500 edits, and have earned the rollback permission. — Your local Sink Cat (The Sink). 23:22, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Rollback

edit

Hi there! Requesting rollback rights to be able to use different tools for reverting vandalism. I'm open to any questions or feedback on my editing and counter-vandalism actions. Cheers. Rkieferbaum (talk) 11:34, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. 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 06:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: hi there. It's true that I seldom warn IP users that don't edit on a regular basis. I just feel like no one is going to see that warning and it might be confusing for other users from that IP. This might be a mistake on my part and I'll gladly fix it. You'll see that, with registered users, I've warned them 100% of the time or very close to that. Thanks for your time. Rkieferbaum (talk) 10:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? -Fastily 10:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: of course, it's a promise. I do agree that welcoming newcomers is among the most important things we do here. Thanks. Rkieferbaum (talk) 11:29, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Great, thanks for confirming. Could you please now go some RC patrol in which you demonstrate how you will be notifying all users? -Fastily 03:17, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: sure! I've been at it for a few minutes. I'll leave a warning each and every time from now on, IP or otherwise. Cheers and thanks for your input. Rkieferbaum (talk) 00:37, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I've been fighting vandalism for a while now and would like to use some other tools, like WP:HUGGLE to do so more efficiently. I've grown to have a good understanding of how to fight vandalism, including WP:RPPI and WP:AIV. Thanks for considering and have a great rest of your day! MP1999 ❯❯❯ Talk 16:38, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I noticed you make a handful of edits, and then drop off for weeks/months at a time. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month consistently patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are always warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 10:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Template editor

edit

I am heavily involved with editing route diagram templates and adding new items to template:rail-interchange, with a special focus on rail lines in France for the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris starting later this month. I have made multiple edit requests there in the past, and very recently after refamiliarizing myself with the process, I've started to do it again. I would like the ability to edit that template directly so I don't have to rely on others to do it for me. Jackdude101 talk cont 07:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
