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: Addition of unsourced content and disruptive edits by IP. M S Hassan (talk | contributions) 04:18, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This article undergoes constant editing by IP addresses, who are eliminating stuff that is well-referenced. The revisions are not productive. DJ InstaMalik (talk) 05:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent Sockpuppetry. GrabUp - Talk 05:18, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IPs back to remove mentions of criticism, soon after previous protection ended. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:16, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Moxy🍁 12:48, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 13:58, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Mild vandalism. Some editors insert false information in the page. KyoraTanoshi (talk) 15:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: (Repeated request) Reverting to old version by multiple IPs, so that blocking of previous abusers does not help. - Altenmann >talk 15:51, 20 July 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 15:54, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
    • The request was not granted because an admin blocked a couple of IPs thinking this will resolve the issue. Well, it didnt help. - Altenmann >talk 17:00, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Another IP range blocked as well. Favonian (talk) 17:27, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Same user vandalizing Lamborghini Aventador article under different IP addresses. The last IP address was blocked, but they are still editing (and vandalizing) under User:197.255.119.109. Bahooka (talk) 17:24, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent vandalism by unregistered editors. Ten of the last eighteen edits are vandalism or reversions of vandalism.—Quick and Dirty User Account (talk) 17:33, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – by IP addresses. ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki (talk | contribs) 17:46, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 19:53, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Despite multiple warnings, the vandalism hasn't stopped. Information is being changed without sources, reducing the credibility of the page. It needs to be protected right away. Natfeels (talk) 17:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Editing by non-EC users in an article falling under the Arab-Israeli conflict contentious topic. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 18:08, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Increase page protection to extended confirmed protection, Very high visible page; disruptive editings and vandalisms are increasing. MAL MALDIVE (talk) 18:56, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: High level of hoax material added by IP-hopping vandal. oknazevad (talk) 19:06, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 19:52, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Recent uptick of IPs and new accounts who seem willing to edit war. Hatman31 (he/him · talk · contribs) 19:28, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 19:35, 20 July 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: Protection no longer needed over a decade. 49.150.14.10 (talk) 08:14, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Pending protection was imposed literally 8 years ago by acalamari. It seemed to be applicable until February 2023 when disruptive edits arose. The incident resulted in a week-long protection, followed by a 3-month long protection, followed by a 3-day long protection before being resorted to a year long protection. Well, the year long protection recently expired, only to allow the same disruption. Wouldn't that have already defeated the purpose of PC? Why in the world do we have to wait for another year before the decision to reset pending changes is approved?197.2.212.136 (talk) 16:01, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: @197.2.212.136: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 16:09, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 16:56, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Oh, Bot! You need a larger language model. Favonian (talk) 17:06, 20 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.

Hello, may I request an autopatrolled role? While I have created only 15 articles, most of them have have been fully expanded with plenty of sources to support all information in them. I almost entirely cover paleontological taxa such as Diplobune, Dacrytherium, Mixtotherium, and more; I also cover lengthy taxonomic history as shown in the research history of Anoplotherium, research history of Mammut, and the research history of Palaeotherium.

Hi. I'm Bugnawfang. Lately, I have been editing on articles about some places in the Philippines. Recently, however, the Negros Island Region was created again after a law was signed by the president of the Philippines. Hence, there are 19 cities and 44 municipalities' pages that still have the old "Central Visayas (Region VII)" and "Western Visayas (Region VI)" region template tags. I am aware that my edits do not meet the threshold, but I do want to update these pages, and making edits one-by-one on these pages is tedious on its own. With this, I may request for the permission to use AWB to add the "Negros Island Region" template on these pages. Bugnawfang (talk) 13:33, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

I have more than 6000 edits as an editor over a time period of around 3 years.

Note that the user also has not edited in 9 days and only has 12 edits in the past 3 months, which is an activity level that would also make me uncomfortable granting a trial.

Hello there, I am interested tn helping out in new page reviewing as there are very large articles backlog and love to do so. Xegma(talk) 07:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Question, though I am not an administrator, I see that you have published accepted AFC submissions, even if they lack citations or are in need of some fixing. And some have orange banners on them. Why is this? — 48JCL 01:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
@48JCL: As they should. The standard at acceptance at AfC is that the article would probably survive an AfD. Nothing more. Declining a draft for surmountable problems like a lack of citations or pretty much anything covered by a cleanup banner is inappropriate. – Joe (talk) 08:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
I spot checked the 4 most recent accepts and they had lots of citations at time of acceptance. Feel free to link to the specific draft accepts you are concerned with. A complete lack of citations is a valid draftification reason and valid AFC decline reason, but I am not seeing that here. A major lack of citations such as entire paragraphs missing a citation (and also not supported by any WP:GENREFs) could be a valid decline reason (WP:V is policy after all). But it may also be reasonable to accept a draft that is mostly cited and just missing a couple citations, such as Draft:Norah Fulcher. –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:33, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request new page reviewer rights to help review newly-created articles and lower the backlog.

Good day. I am requesting to be granted the New Page Reviewer permission to assist with the growing new page backlog. I have created 8 new articles (although one was a complete rewrite that I then pushed through AfC) and meet the edit and age requirements for this permission. I also have demonstrated experience in the AfC process in both articles and redirects and have some experience in deletion related areas. I maintain rollback and pending change permissions, both of which I use regularly. I believe I can (and will) be of assistance in reducing the NPP backlog, if given the opportunity. Thank you. Garsh (talk) 23:20, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. I appreciate your interest @Garsh2, but your first edit on Wikipedia was June 6, 2024, roughly a month and a half ago. You've made strides in your short time here, but there's not enough of a tenure at this point in time to grant the permission. Please keep doing what you're doing and wait until at least September to re-apply so that you've had at least three months of active editing. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:46, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights Ahola .O (talk) 10:45, 19 July 2024 (UTC) Hello good day, may I request a new page reviewer?

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)

Hello, my page mover privilege has just expired, after 90 days of what I believe to have been productive use in NPP and AFC. Could it be extended please? Thanks. Wikishovel (talk) 06:20, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

I've been a rollbacker for some time now, and when I patrol the recent changes, it's not at all uncommon to come across pending revisions. Thus, I imagine that having the permission of a pending changes reviewer would help me in anti-vandalism activities and, even more, reduce the backlog and the work of other volunteers. Helping directly on Special:PendingChanges is also a possibility, of course. Thank you, RodRabelo7 (talk) 09:42, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Im requesting pending changes reviewer rights because I wish to review some changes made by inexperienced users, I’ll be fully active and really want to get this right. Madeforall1 (talk) 10:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Per your discussion here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Funnybros. It shows any editor with the motive to promote a subject either by Youtube link or any other link that are not necessary or accepted by wikipedia. You are likely to accept them. So I will be afraid if this right is being granted to you for the betterment of wikipedia. Administrators should be aware. Gabriel (talk to me ) 11:52, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
Honestly, Gabriel101, I've looked at this user's contributions, and they look more than ready to be a reviewer. On top of that, you are requesting the same rights of this user? And though I am saying the same thing as this user did on your request, did you have to say what you said here and not on the user's talk page? Apollogetticax|talk 06:58, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Point of correction, I am not Gabriel101. And to address your concern. If I had gone to user talk page it could have been useless or a waste of time as the same user has removed everything that was notified against him recently by other editors. I don’t know what you have looked but I see no sense in what you are saying if you have really looked as you said and not noticing an edit was stroked here. Regarding same permission kindly read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kingdom Achievers Award. I will advice you focus on your Sockpuppet account case User:User:HTML5, CSS3! and here User_talk:Ferret#Thank_you. Cheers. Gabriel (weytin dey sup) 12:00, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 Not done. I think it'd be beneficial for you to get a bit more experience and re-apply later on. Nothing stops you from helping out and fixing inappropriate edits where you find them. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:06, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm starting to review pages for copyvios, and, as a result, I'm starting to encounter reviewer-protected pages. (If the article on Rotten Tomatoes wasn't a backwards-copy, I might have been hosed.) In any case, I hope my experience across multiple Wikimedia projects demonstrates the competence needed for this permission. ⸺RandomStaplers 00:07, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

I am well familiar with the Wikipedia Copyright violations, Wikipedia Biographies of living persons and much more of Verifiability to other subject aside humans. My main focus are on the WikiProject Nigeria and little works from other Wikiproject. Reason being so I don't get occupied with other subject am not 100% familiar with their source such as Indian and the rest. Gabriel (talk to me ) 12:21, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

You commented ill about me based on the permission I’m trying to get, the best place was to be my talk page but you came here to say such why? And now you want same permission I’m requesting for? Not cool @Gabriel601Madeforall1 (talk) 06:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I am a Wikipedia editor who has an entire month of experience with counter-vandalism, and I also make many copyedits. I would like to stop vandalism in its crib by being a pending changes reviewer and stopping vandalism on pending changes-protected pages. I know what is vandalism and what isn't, and I am familiar with Wikipedia's policies, including Biographies of living persons, Neutral point of view, No original research, Verifiability and What Wikipedia is not. I have read WP:Copyrights and I have read the guideline on reviewing. I am also in process of receiving rollback permissions, and you can see the discussion there too.

Well, 28 days is enough because on my first few days after I got Twinkle I spent over five hours (per day) RC patrolling. Apollogetticax|talk 06:55, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 Not done Blocked as a sock. DanCherek (talk) 16:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey there! I'm ThatOneWolf, and, I know I've been here twice before, but those times I admit I didn't really get the whole idea of experience and stuff. Plus, my last request was months ago. I took a little break recently when I just was checking my talk page and watchlist, but now I've come back to editing.

Anyway, the reason I'm requesting Reviewer rights now is because I feel like I could help in that area, with most of my edits being vandalism reversions. I also feel I suitably warn editors when I think they are intending to vandalize, or just let them know if it seems they could be trying to help. I've read all the policies listed in Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, and am very familiar with the copyright laws. This is why I feel I would be more fit now to receive this right. Thanks for reading! -- ThatOneWolf (ChatEdits 12:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

I watch recent changes often for vandalism and problematic edits, and understand the difference between the two when reverting them. I've also reviewed the guidelines on reviewing pending changes. I hope this right can help me more effectively perform anti-vandal work. ADifferentMan (talk) 07:34, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Requests for rollback

Rollback

  • 245CMR (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs (blocks · rights · moves) · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te)
  • I used to be highly active before 2022, and had rollback rights back then (was inactive for quite a while)
  • I have a history of defending WP: Hinduism related articles, and further need to do it, especially after few recurring cases of vandalism by a series of sockpuppets
  • It may seem that i am constantly reverting a particular user's edits but that user is a sockpuppet of Kairakairav, [see their huge list of sockpuppets] who removes well sourced info, blanks them and add original research stuff, most of which are also factually incorrect. The sockpuppets get blocked, but somehow returns with a new account (Not only me, but other users have also reported this issue in the user's earlier sockpuppet investigations). It is alo worthless to tell them to stop on talk page, as they never reply and keep doing the same stuff; recent example of Madri which was blanked by them!
  • Its quite irritating for me to constantly go to history and copy paste entire full page, so the rollback right will be quite helpful, Thanks .245CMR.👥📜 09:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC) .245CMR.👥📜 09:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 Not done I reviewed your contributions and found little to no recent anti-vandalism work. 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 10:16, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: Really!? I just explained how the sockpuppet User:NairaMahiHDPaakhiAadhya basically removed cited information from articles like Kunti, Madri, Sahadeva, Eklavya, etc. It's been reported by other users, see that user's earlier sockpuppets (linked in the request). Also its pointless to try to guide them as i seriously tried to do so many time on their earlier (now blocked) accounts. Recently while doing manual copy paste, I accidentally deleted chunks of articles by mistake. I really require this right as I am free to waste my entire half an hour doing this. Sorry if I sounded rude, but I am really irritated after recently doing the manual copy paste for 100th time! .245CMR.👥📜 18:48, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
Yes, really. You shouldn't be copy/pasting anyways. The use case you've described doesn't require rollback; we have tools such as Twinkle & Ultraviolet that already do what you're asking for. Like I said, if you're still interested in rollback, then please spend a month actively patrolling RecentChanges before creating a new request -Fastily 21:57, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
As a third party, I just want to comment on why you were copy pasting? Apollogetticax|talk 06:36, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I would like to have the rollback permission to revert vandalism quicker and to use tools like Huggle. Also, with Awesome Aasim's RC patrol tool, reverting is very slow, but with rollback it will be much faster. I use Twinkle already.

I am keen in the field of anti-vandalism. While my track record isn't exactly the best, I acknowledge my mistakes, and improve on them. I can tell what is and what isn't vandalism, and I know to always warn users, no exception. While edit counts don't matter, I have over 250 mainspace edits (just for the record). This also brings light to my experience. I have been doing counter-vandalism since the day I created my account.

If you think I am doing anything wrong, you are free to tell me my mistakes, and I can fix myself. | Apollogetticaxtalk 23:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Lots of anti-vandalism in contribs including edit summaries, so that's great. Good attitude on talk pages. I was going to grant this but then I found they admitted to being the sockpuppet User:HTML5, CSS3! over at User talk:Ferret#Thank you. Honestly I am still inclined to grant, they seem to be reformed. But this probably needs a little discussion first. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:35, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Gonna go ahead and mark this one as  Not done, with the requester now sock-blocked and fresh block evasion noted at User talk:Apollogetticax#July 2024. DanCherek (talk) 16:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I would like to request rollback rights as I've been pretty active in countering vandalism since May. I use Twinkle and I notify new users consistently when I revert, usually by using a warn template, but other times by writing a message myself. I do my best to distinguish between good faith edits and vandalism and avoid unnecessary edit wars. Having made around 20 successful AIV reports, I am interested in making patrolling quicker with Huggle. Thank you! ObserveOwl (chit-chatmy doings) 22:52, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, at this point I think I’m ready to fight vandalism and make good rollback edits, I really need this tools to be giving me to me, I’m an experienced editor and I think some editors are really not doing justice in terms of there edits, I want to use the tools to revert some edits that shouldn't be Madeforall1 (talk) 11:56, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for rollback declined in the past 90 days ([4]). MusikBot talk 12:00, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello! I am applying for the role of rollbacker, having been a Wikipedia user for over 10 years and being increasingly active in the last few years. In this vein, I feel that I have undone my fair share of vandalism and, being mainly focused on football/sports articles, vandalism and unconstructive/unsourced edits are very common in my area of interest and editing. I believe that these rights will be very useful in maximising the efficiency of my work on Wikipedia and will save me time from undoing separate edits individually. Additionally, I have past experience as an administrator on a Wikia project, where I made use of the rollback feature and have good knowledge of its positives and when to utilise it. Thank you for taking your time to review my request. Kind regards, Vasil3fonov (talk) 12:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Requests for template editor

Template editor

[edit]

I'm requesting template editor privileges due to recent changes that classify parts of the Template:Occupation_by_nationality_and_century_category_header as high risk [5]. I developed this template to help manage occupation categories and have become quite familiar with template syntax over the past year, though I do not consider myself an expert. My expertise lies more in R programming, which I teach as part of a data science class.

I meet nearly all the requirements for template editor privileges, except for having syntax requests implemented in other high-risk templates. While I have edited templates that have become high risk, I acknowledge that this is not the same. However, I have made a sizable number of technical contributions to RegExTypoFix, primarily in optimizing the regular expression. This is the code underlying the spellchecker used by AWB to implement uncontroversial misspellings. If necessary, I am willing to find and suggest syntax changes to further demonstrate my capabilities. Mason (talk) 03:29, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Smasongarrison, that template is only ExCon-protected, and thus you should be able to edit it. It otherwise doesn't sound like you need this permission. Primefac (talk) 13:38, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Sorry, I wasn't clear. The core subpage of the template; Template:Occupation by nationality and century category header/outercore has just been changed. [6] Mason (talk) 13:40, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
I'd also be fine if I could just be given edit permission just for Template:Occupation by nationality and century category header and the subpages, if that's a possibility Mason (talk) 13:52, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Ah, I thought I had checked them all but clearly missed one. I've dropped the protection back down. Primefac (talk) 19:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
