Isabella Pappas edit

Reason: High level of IP vandalism, an IP (not me, but a different IP) keeps removing the Nationality (British-Italian) from the Lede. In fact it's becoming very persistent, I suggest a a temporary protection for this page. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 01:13, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

If we protect the page you won't be able to edit it either. Are you OK with that? Daniel Case (talk) 04:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
On second thought, is it possible to make the protection a pending changes protection? 70.50.199.125 (talk) 07:47, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
The White lock with the checkmark on it. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 07:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Pending-changes protected indefinitely. Will also log at CTOPS. That will work. Daniel Case (talk) 18:27, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Kundali Bhagya edit

Indefinite Extended semi-protection: IP users are doing several unconstructive edits from the time it got unprotected. Please semi-protect it for indefinite time with Extended confirmed users and administrators access for edits.

Pri2000 (talk) 05:31, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Bombay Stock Exchange edit

Reason: Permanent Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Removing all sourced content without having any discussion on talk page. Previously also this IP used to vandalize this stock exchange pages. Tcspower (talk) 06:16, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Latest target of abuse from globally banned pest WP:LTA/GRP. User is known to post threats and abusive rants on the talk page archives of the users he considers to be his "enemies". (For example, see Special:PageHistory/User talk:JavaHurricane/Archive 5.)

Template:International military intervention against the Islamic State infobox edit

Reason: Permanent semi-protection. Contentious topic (WP:CT/KURD). Multiple unregistered users vandalizing the casualties. Just noticed a vandalism from 2018 that went unnoticed for nearly six years. The edit exponentially increased US casualties from 6 to 71, and the page remained that way since 2018. Diff [1]. Ecrusized (talk) 13:13, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Susan Hall edit

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Current election, IP address continues to add results to the lead when no such results have been declared yet. Similar disruption likely for a while. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 14:21, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Francis Leo Marcos edit

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism to unduly promote the subject's philanthropism and supposed net worth. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 14:58, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Peter Sotos edit

Reason: The article keeps being reverted to an inferior version of the article by the same person with their reasoning being NPOV, despite everything mentioned in the article being accurate and properly sourced. I do give benefit of the doubt that they mean well, but it is starting to become an editing war, and given the article's subject is a controversial figure, people will most likely have strong opinions about him one way or the other. I'm suggesting that the page become semi-protected due to the controversial nature of the subject and due to continuous reverted edits. CarterLennon (talk) 15:17, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings edit

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism keeps going after protection expires. Request for even longer protection. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥(ContainThisEmber?) 15:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level edit

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Shortcuts

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.

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.

User:B3251 edit

I am making a request on behalf of myself, as I sometimes create new articles pretty often (mostly New Brunswick-related). As of right now I have 66 live articles, and I have expanded plenty more. I have had a few deletions: two articles when I was brand new to editing & one list I created in mid-2023 (due to not completely understanding WP:BLPCRIME at the time). Otherwise, my articles have been pretty straightforward and vary in quality, with most being Start/C-class by the time I publish them. I had a little bit of a rough start when it came to "notability knowledge", as many do, but overtime I have grown to have an understanding of WP:GNG and WP:MOS when writing articles. Thanks, B3251 (talk) 11:53, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

User:TheGreatestLuvofAll edit

I have created at least 25 articles that follow WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG about singers and albums. I am familiar with WP:C, WP:V, and WP:BURDEN in my articles, without copying content without permission, and I make sure my info is sourced in any articles I created. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 12:00, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

User:Princess of Ara edit

I recently noticed this user, Princess of Ara. An editor who works mainly on Nigerian related articles and others. While trying to appreciate the user's effort, I got in love with the lovely articles, well sources, written from a volunteer in good faith and now, I am requesting that she be granted the auto patrol user right. It'll also help reduce heavy backlog of NPP. Thanks for your consideration! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 08:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

User:Prince of Erebor edit

I have created 75 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 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 Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 13:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

User:49p edit

I work with a bunch of music articles on wikipedia focusing on emo. Most of these are often neglected (usually having no edits for years, borderline AfD, etc). I belive AWB would help me make my job easier by automating the tedious tasks involved and more efficient. 49p (talk) 16:18, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

When you say the tedious tasks involved, how are you thinking of using AWB? Primefac (talk) 17:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
Typo fixing, using the general fixes, and fixing redirects semi automatically are the three tasks I can think of my head currently. These three would help me tremendously. 49p (talk) 18:47, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

User:Assem Khidhr edit

Hi! I'm working on WP:WikiProject AfroCreatives (and the corresponding frWP and arWP projects) as part of an imminent campaign and I was hoping I can expedite the addition of our newly created {{WikiProject AfroCreatives}} into relevant articles. I would keep it to black-and-white situations where articles are in Category:African films, Category:African actors, etc. Otherwise, if there's a dedicated bot for this kind of requests that I'm not aware of, by all means let me know.

User:PharyngealImplosive7 edit

I was granted new page reviewer rights temporarily and I think that I'm ready to get them permanently since I've tagged and patroled over 50 pages now. I've also tagged many pages for deletion that were unfit for the wiki. Finally, I would like to participate in the May backlog drive.

@SheriffIsInTown: To be clear, the NPR permission does not assist with review of your own pages. If you want to "save others time from reviewing pages created by me", then you would want to request autopatrolled at WP:PERM/AP. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:39, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

(Removed not done template). Thank you for volunteering, but I'm going to have to deny this for now. If you're interested in re-applying at some point, which I do hope you do, then I encourage you to demonstrate some familiarity with the deletion process and notability guidelines by participating at WP:AFD or WP:AFC. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:37, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
 Done @BluePenguin18: I talked with Heymanimjosh about it because I think you're a worthy candidate that can be trusted. You have a good track record in the areas you participate in and have made a good impression on me. So I've granted the NPP perm on a trial basis for 3 months, feel free to reach out when it expires and I'll give some feedback then. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 02:32, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Just confirming that Clovermoss and I had a chat about this. Clover feels up to giving you a shot and I'm more than happy to trust their judgment. Hey man im josh (talk) 02:57, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Do you think maybe you should strike the not done? Our conflicting messages might confuse the bot? Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 03:53, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Good thought. I've tweaked that reply. Hey man im josh (talk) 04:00, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
@Clovermoss, @Hey man im josh, Interesting, he only took part in 6 AFDs and has just a thousand edits. He was given the New Page reviewer right, while I was rejected despite having more experience and engagement in AFD, CSD, and other areas. Even thought I requested for one month trial. 👍🏻 Grabup (talk) 04:57, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
I see that you're upset but snarky comments on other people's requests is not the most productive way to go about this. If you have an issue with an admin's action or lack thereof, it's usually best to talk to them about it on their talk page.
My faith in Blue Penguin relies on their editing outside the AfD and CSD areas, as I believe demonstrating competence in creating articles and participating in project space discussions shows that someone has a high likelihood of following instructions and not messing things up. Sometimes different admins look at situations differently - hence the term "admin discretion". Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 05:09, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
@Clovermoss, He's only created 10 articles. Even if we exclude my village articles, my film articles surpass his in number. I won't comment further, but I don't think it's fair. Apologies for questioning. Grabup (talk) 05:18, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
@Grabup: Admins are not infallible and you have every right to question. The issue is how and where you do it. As said though, this is not the place for that discussion. Hey man im josh (talk) 05:21, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
@Grabup: Interesting, did you perhaps consider that there were other issues when you were reviewed? Possibly something like temperament? Possibly ignoring proper practices, such as not commenting on other user's requests at WP:PERM?
Different people make different decisions. Clovermoss asked if they could give this user a shot. If they want to, I'm not going to say no because I trust their judgement. It's that simple. Hey man im josh (talk) 05:13, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Florificapis edit

I got busy in real life for most of March and April, so my request was put on hold per [2]. Here is my original reason for requesting NPR permissions again.

I have over 120 new articles under my belt, mostly relating to medieval history, monasteries, saints, and geographical features. I am familiar with the kinds of content that would fall under CSD criteria, since I have experience wikifying new pages and tagging obviously problematic new pages for speedy deletion. I know the guidelines on notability, proper sourcing, draftifying new articles, rating talk pages using scripts, AfC, AfD, and other essential patrolling tasks. Would be quite happy to reduce the backlog while being cautious and careful. Also currently a Pending Changes Reviewer. Florificapis (talk) 00:09, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

  3. I agree to reviewing on a volunteer basis.

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights

I often go through pages and pages making edits and typo fixes, grammar cleanup, and updating the articles overall appearance and optimizing different aspects of the article to follow community and portal requirements. I have made a few new article pages however a lot of the time I need some free time to complete some of them. I find it encouraging to see new articles and contributions to wikipedia and the sister projects associated in the different wiki sites and would like to involve myself more in the wiki-community!

Hi. I've been on a two month trial as a new page reviewer and was told to reapply about a week before my trial ends. I hope my contributions have been positive and that I can continue helping out. Thanks! GWA88 (talk) 22:51, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm not quite comfortable granting you the permission permanently yet but I'm willing to extend your trial for another two months. When I accepted your last request, I asked that you spend some time familiarizing yourself with AfD/PROD/CSD to show experience with the deletion process, which you have not done. I'd like to again ask that you do so and re-apply with roughly a week left on your trial @GWA88:.  Done for 2 months, thanks for volunteering. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:18, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, Josh. I'll try and be more active with regards to the deletion process. GWA88 (talk) 23:21, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Anwegmann edit

Hello. I was granted new page reviewer privileges several months ago with instructions to base my voting and reviews more on policy than opinion in order to earn full-time privileges. I have made great efforts to do just that, taking part in quite a few AfDs and becoming familiar with the policies surrounding AfDs, both concerning voting in them and creating them myself. I have actively engaged by fellow editors, using policy and precedent both to vote, recommend new pages for deletion when necessary, and argue for my positions in particularly active AfDs. I am here requesting full-time new page reviewer privileges, as I feel as though I have fulfilled both the requirements of the position and the suggestions given me over the last few months. Thank you for your consideration. Anwegmann (talk) 00:19, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

@Anwegmann:, you've done great in becoming more active at AfD, which I very much appreciate. However, you didn't seem to review very many pages. I'm happy to extend the trial for though, since there's obviously good faith and effort present here. If you're not aware already, we do actually have a backlog drive that started yesterday which I'd encourage you to participate in. Head on over to WP:NPPSORT and give it a go!  Done for a 2-month trial extension. Please re-apply roughly a week before the permission is set to expire.

I heard that a backlog drive is happening! I'd like to try my hand if that's possible. I am a rollbacker, pending changes reviewer, and I think I have a good grasp on the core requirements for a Wikipedia page, in part due to more recent participation at AFD. Coop (talk) 03:15, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

User:TarnishedPath edit

I participated in the December backlog drive, being granted a trial. At the end of the trial I requested permanent NPP, which was denied with the denying admin expressing concern that I hadn't created any articles. I've since created an article about Neeraj Gupta (refer to User_talk:TarnishedPath/Archive_2#Your_submission_at_Articles_for_creation:_Neeraj_Gupta_(sculptor)_has_been_accepted) and been responsible for the bulk of the material in the newly created article Bruce Lehrmann‎. I had been working on Draft:Bruce Lehrmann‎ but someone else started work on Bruce Lehrmann‎ just as I submitted Draft:Bruce Lehrmann‎ to AfC so I ended up merging my work over to the mainspace article and issuing a CSD for deletion of the draft. I've continued to be semi-regularly involved with AfD. I'm applying because I got a notification a while ago that there was a backlog drive for May and I'm willing to help out a bit with that.

User:Sunnyboi18 edit

Hello, I'am applying again for Pending Changes Reviewer, as it was felt by a person who reviewed this that my request was "all over the place" and that "I didn't understand that PC rights are". I don't think that's fair.

I was simply just giving my experience and of having done 632 edits on Wiki involving mostly updating critical information, having been an Editor since Feburary 2021, and being familiar with Wiki Guidelines & Copyright and understanding the importance of making sure the info on Wiki is correct, and preventing Vandalism. And other requests saying that exact same stuff were approved, so not sure what to say but, I'am aware of the importance and privliege of this permission, and would like my request to be considered fairly, as it did not feel like that was the case the first time, based on the response that I got.

Well, you're "honest impression" was more of a commentary on me personally rather than my experience and work I've done. So once again, it does not seem like this is being processed in a fair and unbiased manner. Especially when requests have been approved with very little language in them with regard to their background or experience, or with the same amount of/less edits as myself.

Hi. I recently got Rollback rights, so I thought it would be nice to have PCR rights as well. The main reason I would like this right is to further deal with vandalism, and accepting good edits. Although the pending changes backlog is not as high as... some other backlogs I could mention, I would still like to help with reviews. Thanks for considering my request!

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.

User:Cleo Cooper edit

Aloha! I've spent a while going through recent changes and I consistently warn editors with RedWarn. My understanding is that the rollbacker permission can help with this by allowing access to special tools like AntiVandal and speed things up, especially when I need to mass-revert all the edits of a user. Coop (talk) 22:36, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

@Cleo Cooper: Looks good overall, however please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits.  Done -Fastily 22:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I monitor Recent Changes, used to do it very frequently and getting back into it recently. RainGuest (talk) 00:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I noticed you make a handful of edits, and then drop off for months/years 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 22:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Lynch44 edit

I have been reverting vandalism as an account for about a month now, and have familiarized myself with Twinkle as well. Also note the 20,000 edits, mostly anti-vandal, that I made as an IP. Lynch44 (talk) 01:49, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 22:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
If you consider me not fit for rollback due to this, then I am more than willing to wait further if necessary, and I will try to be more efficient in warning others in the future. Lynch44 (talk) 01:18, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
I've neither approved nor denied your request. But I would like to have a conversation on why you haven't been notifying editors after reverting their edits. Is it because... you didn't know you needed to, you've been acting too quickly without giving proper attention to each revert, etc? -Fastily 05:29, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Part of it was me assuming the edit was so minor that an edit summary would be sufficient (like the second diff), or, just not giving a warning or notice because I did not feel there was a specific one that could fit. Again, I will try to warn or notify all editors when reverting them in the future. Lynch44 (talk) 10:13, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Yes, please ensure that you are always leaving notifications. 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 00:42, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Understood. Moving forward, I promise to notify all editors when I revert their edits, good faith or not. Lynch44 (talk) 01:13, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

User:CanonNi edit

Hello. I'm re-applying for Rollback rights a month after my previous was declined. During the past month, I've actively patrolled RecentChanges, reverting bad-faith edits and warning editors with Ultraviolet, and increasing my edit count to over 6500. I've also gained a thorough understanding of relevant policies, such as WP:VAN. In addition, I was granted AfC reviewer and NPP rights.

The main reason I would like Rollback rights is to revert vandalism and disruptive editing quicker and easier, as well as the usage of more advanced tools such as AntiVandal and Huggle.

@Fastily Thank you for asking. The first edit in question was in good faith, so I thought there was no need for a warning. However, the second and third edits are indeed my mistake. However, most of my reverts come with a warning (e.g. 1, 2, 3) but I'll still make sure to warn editors whenever needed in the future. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 23:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello! For about the past month, I've been patrolling recent changes and have gotten to know Ultraviolet well as I consistently warn users who make unconstructive and bad-faith edits. I am requesting rollback rights to further enhance my patrolling by using tools such as AntiVandal which will speed up the process greatly and Huggle which is a helpful tool to have to combat vandalism. Rollback also makes my reverts faster and more efficient allowing me to respond faster and better. Wiiformii (talk) 15:00, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

    "Do you want to take a survey?" edit

    On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.

    On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.

    Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.
