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 of article protection, upload protection, or create 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: Per WP:RUSUKR Mr. Komori (talk) 07:07, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. As implied above. Daniel Case (talk) 03:15, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: The flags on this page have been changing back and forth since October. In December 2024, IP users (or user) started getting involved and continued to change them without reason. Catalyst GP real (talk) 12:04, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Continuous unreferenced edits from IP users.[1][2][3] Hotwiki (talk) 13:49, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. No reverts on article for a couple of days. Daniel Case (talk) 03:16, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: CTOP - AMPOL sanctions. Don't know what the normal protection level is for AMPOL. Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 18:06, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

AP2 does not have a blanket 500/30 restriction to my knowledge. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:49, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Edit waring. Discombobulates (talk) 22:27, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High levels of IP vandalism, likely by the same person. Sushidude21! (talk) 22:58, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Requesting temporary protection (extended confirmed) due to recent edit warring between multiple users. Likely the product of his upcoming birth anniversary. Yue🌙 22:59, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Temporary semi-protection - Oh boy, it's me again. The questionable salute has led to heated debate and is a contentious topic at the moment. Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 23:12, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Long history of COI editing and promotion. See username of this editor, [4], [5], [6], recent edit warring [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]. --Richard Yin (talk) 23:25, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 23:27, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
I think it's worth considering protecting the page anyway, given that this has gone on for years across multiple accounts/IPs. --Richard Yin (talk) 23:46, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Lots of IP vandalism, due to recent events (J6 pardons). This and other J6 pages likely to be targets for forseeable future -FactsheetPete (talk) 23:43, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Preemptive measure due to rampant J6 related vandalism. -FactsheetPete (talk) 23:46, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced or improperly sourced content. Johnj1995 (talk) 01:58, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Unregistered users keep removing the 'anti-colonialism' from the infobox, while keeping the reference intact. therefore I request semi protection, most useful edits have been done by registered users. – Nar 2608 – 02:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. 💽 🌙Eclipse 💽 🌹 ⚧ (she/they) talk/edits 02:13, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Already extended-confirmed protected, but should also be move-protected while the redirect discussion regarding "Gulf of America" is still underway. Ithinkiplaygames (talk) 02:16, 22 January 2025 (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 02:19, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: A number of IPs have been vandalizing the talk page, either treating it as a forum post to talk about their reactions to her sermon, and a partially blocked IP calling The Rt Rev. some pretty crass & gendered insults (namely demanding that there be a section added calling her [derogatory term removed]). This is pretty plainly not the point of a talk page and is disruptive & harmful. 96.231.129.14 (talk) 02:43, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Ah, my apologies for repeating the term, I shouldn't have done that, that's my bad! Figured it was useful for documentation purposes in the moment but it's on the talk page after all, and best not to have that floating around here too, thank you for that! 96.231.129.14 (talk) 02:52, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
I endorse the report by the IP that the attack language at the talk page has gotten out of hand and violates BLP. However, it has not reached the any-reasonable-admin threshold where I feel comfortable acting, as I have a borderline COI with TEC. —C.Fred (talk) 02:54, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – String of recent vandalism. Amigao (talk) 02:59, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – After disrupting Kabyle people to the point where it needed EC protection, the highly disruptive SP master Noname_JR moved to this one, first by using Special:Contributions/Dotabetterthanlol and now, resorting to IP socking (their IP range is known). M.Bitton (talk) 03:11, 22 January 2025 (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 on 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: The edit includes a source from the Department of Defense Inspector General and the page isn't allowed to include that source. Airman79 (talk) 00:13, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

@Airman79: This request is a request to lower protection on a title that isn't protected, and reads more like an edit request. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 00:39, 22 January 2025 (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.


Remove: "Historians and political scientists rank Biden as above average in historical rankings of American presidents."

Way too soon to suggest that in the main text of the article! He has barely left office, its going to be at least a few months before such a bold claim can be made. Is there really enough historians and political scientists saying this to justify this claim? BlunanNation (talk) 08:42, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Currently, the lede states "On 7 October 2023, Hamas-led militant groups launched a surprise attack on Israel, taking 251 captive, against which Israelis responded applying the controversial Hannibal Directive, resulting in the death of 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals, among which 815 civilians.". This implies that the majority of the casualties were caused by Israel applying the Hannibal Directive, and despite some cases of casualties due to this, no credible source has made the claim that the majority of casualties originate from it. I suggest changing the lede back to what it was before it was randomly edited to the current lede without any discussion on the talk page about it, to "On 7 October 2023, Hamas-led militant groups launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals and taking 251 captive." Aradkipod (talk) 12:29, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

[edit]

I've seen this editor's work on multiple occasions at New Page Review. Has created 208 pages, none deleted, more than 3/4 of them B-class. High-quality page creation with infoboxes, quality references with proper formatting, images, etc., requiring no cleanup by reviewers. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm concerned that many of the articles on lifeboat stations don't meet GNG. After looking at a random sampling of them, most of them cite the Lifeboat Enthusiasts Society (of which Martin states they are a member of on their talk page), which appears to be an WP:SPS, and The Lifeboat, a publication of the RNLI, which is not an independent source. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:15, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I would have thought the same thing when I first encountered these articles, but there are several independent published sources on these lifesaving stations. Whenever I've done a BEFORE search on one, I always find GNG-qualifying sourcing. This came up in an AfD for one of Ojsyork's creations last year (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bamburgh Castle Lifeboat Station), which resulted in a "keep". Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:21, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

I would like to request auto-patrolled rights on Wikipedia. I have been actively contributing to the project and have created more than 30 of articles to date, which adhere to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I believe my experience and attention to detail make me a good fit for this role. Granting me auto-patrolled rights would help reduce the workload on other patrollers by automatically marking my new pages as reviewed.

Please feel free to review my contributions and articles to ensure they meet the necessary standards. Let me know if any additional information is required.

Thank you for considering my request! Needforname (talk) 17:39, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights Ahola .O (talk) 22:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC) I am requesting the autopatrolled user right because I have been actively contributing to Wikipedia and believe that my experience and adherence to Wikipedia's guidelines make me a suitable candidate for this right, I have created over 25 articles, all of which comply with Wikipedia's notability guidelines and content policies. My contributions have consistently aimed to enhance the quality and reliability of the encyclopedia. I believe that granting me the autopatrolled user right will help reduce the workload of new page patrollers and allow me to continue contributing to Wikipedia more efficiently. Thank you for considering my request. Ahola .O (talk)

(Non-administrator comment) You are currently not adding to the "workload of new page patrollers", in fact, your creations need to be watched closely. Not when I specifically told you here that the pieces you presented to inquire about Bobo Ajudua are thrash and nonsensical and told you to focus elsewhere instead of on an article that has been deleted several times. Yet, you went ahead to create it, and now, it has been deleted again? via AfD. And this? Your creations need to be watched and that is what the NPP is for. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:55, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights I have created almost 50 articles and whilst producing these articles I have developed my understanding of wikipedia policies, conformed with the rules for biographies of living persons and have improved the content and formatting of numerous articles. SDGB1217 (talk) 14:46, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I have created 75+ articles, since I got autopatrolled mostly focusing on television series. For transparency, I'm still working on the feedback received from @Schwede66 in my last request. And I intent to keep doing the good work. Thanks for your consideration. Wishing the community a prosperous new year. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 06:56, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Could you please point to where the date of birth of Gautam Vig is referenced, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:14, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Schwede66, I hope you enjoyed your vacation. I have sourced the DOB in the early life section as per WP:INFOBOXREF. I followed the editing style of Geniac, the way he improved Sheezan Khan and tried adapting the same. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:48, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, I had a fab wee holiday. I don't understand your answer. I see that there is one ref in the infobox, and that reference does confirm the date of birth, but it is attached to the spouse only. Could you please explain what you mean, and how the referencing confirms the date of birth, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:59, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Schwede66 In the above mentioned article I have sourced the date of birth in the Early life section, see here. And the spouse's source is just about their marriage. I'm following the editing style of Geniac, the improvement he did in one of my previously created article see here. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 09:38, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Sorry, which reference states the date of Vig's date of birth? I cannot see it. Schwede66 18:29, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Schwede66, I have used two sources for DOB, Colors TV and India Today. You can find both the sources in the Early life section. Hope it helps, if you still can't verify the birth date, you're most welcome to remove it. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 18:50, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
@C1K98V Is it just me or the webpage you're linking to from colorstv.com is redirecting to a /mena/ directory making it impossible to see what you're talking about or citing. As for the indiatoday.in, you did not initially position the citation as of when Schwede66 started reviewing your request, you only repositioned the citation today. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi Vanderwaalforces, I'm not sure if the Colorstv website works outside of India. Let's wait for Schwede66 to confirm if they're able to verify it. I'm sharing a screenshot of the website for reference [13]. While searching for sources related to their academics, I found IndiaToday and added it later in the Early life section. I repositioned the named citation as I wanted to highlight it for Schwede66, so I left an edit summary too. Thanks for your consideration. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 03:43, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) I can access the colorstv source and confirm that it mentions Gautam Vig's date of birth. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

330+ article creations with zero deletions. Have run into this editor's creations in New Page Review and do not have to do repairs; infoboxes, categories, wikilinks, short descriptions, talk pages, etc. are all in place.

Requests for confirmation

Confirmed

[edit]

Reason for requesting confirmed rights to edit and correct information on wikipedia Maximus O (talk) 18:29, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

 Not done – Hi, and thank you for creating an account to edit Wikipedia. Although I fully understand your desire to dive right in, many of our articles are semi-protected because they are controversial, prone to vandalism, or other reasons. As a new editor with few edits, it might be wise to discuss your edits on the article talkpage in order to gain consensus for your edits, and then use {{Edit semi-protected}} to request the edit be performed. I only recommend this until you are used to the challenges of reliable sources, the biographies of living persons policy, and other similar policies. The good news is that fewer than 5 percent of Wikipedia articles are protected; this means that more than 95 percent of the articles can use your help right now!

I am editing Wikipedia since 10 months and i had created dozens of articles and also participated in deletion discussions and also nominated some articles for AfD and most of them got deleted. Also i exapanded some articles of stub category and my area of interest are Politics, Rajasthan, BLPs, settlement articles, etc. Now i want to work with other editors on New page reviewing and i am requesting for a one month rights, firstly as a trial. TheSlumPanda (talk) 08:06, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey, I would like to apply for the NPR rights. As I have created more than 50 pages and I'm actively involved in reviewing drafts since last week of December 2024, you can check my reviewed articles here and the articles I putted up for deletion can be seen here. My primary focus are the articles related to Women, Politics, India, Poetry, Writers and Indian activists. I do sometime revert bad faith edits. I will contribute to the Wikipedia with NPR rights, same as I have contributed through the AFC Reviewer rights. Thanks and Regards. Taabii (talk) 12:24, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Please wait at least two months and consider participating at venues such as WP:AFD to gain more experience with our content and deletion-related processes before applying for this user right again.

Hello. I am requesting this permission as I would be interested to help at the near-permanent New Pages Feed backlog, when my other work here allows me to do so. I am aware of the relevant content policies and guidelines, especially when it comes to NPOV and BLP. If granted, I intend to use it responsibly, like I do with my other permissions. As for my own record, I have created over 600 articles so far, with few deleted. I already have autopatrolled and rollback permissions. As for my experience, I have been around for almost 15 years, with c. 150,000 edits. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 13:34, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
Requests for page mover

Page mover

[edit]

I've been requesting occasional, regular and errant page moves at RMTR ever since I either created this account or achieved the extended-confirmed threshold. After 30 months of existence and persistence and in this new year, I'm ready to take the next step and have this right for a start as I can have an impact on this encyclopaedia. Intrisit (talk) 20:05, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

 Not done Your three most recent RMTR requests were all contested. I think that disqualifies you from this permission for a long while. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:32, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Um, exactly how long? Because I'll still be involved in RMs and at RMTR! Intrisit (talk) 16:58, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

I have lots of experience in the WP:TW scale of reverting edits, and wish to continue this through WP:PENDING BryceM2001 (talk) 20:40, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

I'd like to request pending changes review rights because I am familiar with the policy and this would help me with my vandalism patrols. Furthermore, I am currently trying to accept a request, but I do not have the permissions. Thanks! Ali Beary (talk2me!) (stalk me?!) 13:29, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

@Ali Beary Given your recent WP:CUTPASTE move, I'd like to see a little more time for you to demonstrate your knowledge of Wikipedia policies and procedures before granting additional permissions. --Ahecht (TALK

@Ahecht, ah, apologies. I didn't realize a "request moves" page existed, and I do not have move or merge permissions. I was simply undoing something that wasn't correct... hence why I requested move perms earlier so I could fix it. Ali Beary (talk) 12:38, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

My sole purpose of editing or the desire to review edits is for the wellbeing of Wikipedia. I made a few pages and made 1300+ edits. I believe in quality not quantity. TrueMoriarty (talk) 17:36, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Requesting pending changes reviewer rights to assist in recent changes patrol, am very active on the English Wikipedia and have good knowledge of Vandalism policy and other basic content policies. Sophisticatedevening (talk) 21:25, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Well, I'm requesting this right to protect Wikipedia from Vandals. By the way the 1 of the 2 revisions (both not accepted) in Curry was unaccepted without any reason and other maybe due to some misunderstanding by the reviewer of the WP:NOINDICSCRIPT & both were good faith.Although I am look as a newcomer, but this is a clean start account. If there is any other objection, I'll try to be explainable for it. Xiphoid Vigour ༈Duel༈ 16:05, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

 Not done You've only had an account for about 11 days, which isn't enough of a track record to demonstrate that you routinely edit. Furthermore, I saw in this edit that you want to become extended confirmed and a template editor "as soon as possible" which gives the impression that you want to collect hats. I don't feel comfortable with granting you this user right at this time. Fathoms Below (talk) 04:54, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Alright, but I'm not collecting hats (to show off). Well I've always wanted to be a template editor & I was extended confirmed in my old account. (4yrs and 1071 edits before I clean started) Xiphoid Vigour ༈Duel༈ 16:02, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
I'm sorry if I am offensive. But the point is that I never had,have or will have the intention to collect hats. Xiphoid Vigour ༈Duel༈ 16:04, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
By "as soon as possible" I meant to fulfill my desire to contribute Xiphoid Vigour ༈Duel༈ 16:05, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
  • please don't think that I'm doing this to change your mind. I'm just removing that show off tag.

I had the PCR userright, which was granted last year (request). While I had the flag, I didn't use it very much, so I requested the removal of the flag, which was granted. Since then, I keep finding myself looking at Special:PendingChanges and wanting to mark edits as reviewed. (Note that I also have rollback perms.) Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hello. I am requesting this permission as I would be interested to help at PendingChanges, when my other work here allows me to do so. I am aware of the criteria for its use, especially in regard to BLP and countering vandalism. If granted, I intend to use it responsibly, like I do with my other permissions.

Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

Hello, I was temporarily granted rollback permissions to see how I do, and they are due to expire on the 27th. I believe I have been diligent and careful with this permission, and I only use it when necessary. I always warn users and I create discussions on article talk pages where necessary.

 Automated comment This user was granted temporary rollback rights by Pppery (expires 18:41, 27 January 2025 (UTC)). MusikBot talk 14:50, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
@Cmrc23: It looks like you're using generic rollback even on edits that aren't obvious vandalism (where vandalism is defined as being "deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose, which is to create a free encyclopedia") or other categories of rollback that don't need an explanatory edit summary. For example, while removing a reference might be vandalism, it could also be based on good-faith belief that the source is unreliable. Similarly, this rollback doesn't seem to be of obvious vandalism. Going forward, would you include the reason in the edit summary when reverting any edits that don't fall into one of criteria 1–5 at WP:ROLLBACKUSE? SilverLocust 💬 18:59, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
I was a little hasty with those two in particular, but I will make sure. I presumed my warning on their talk page was enough, but I try to not use it when it's not necessary (again, was hasty there, apologise) Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 19:55, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

I’m requesting rollback tool to help with vandalism fighting more effectively. I’ve been active in counter-vandalism work and have a good understanding of policies like WP:VAND and WP:AGF. While I’ve made mistakes in the past, I’ve taken the feedback onboard, slowed down, and focused on making more accurate judgements.

Rollback would allow me to handle clear vandalism more efficiently without cluttering edit histories. I’m committed to using it responsibly and only for obvious cases of vandalism, leaving more complex issues for discussion or reporting.

Thank you for considering my request. Footballnerd2007talk ⚽ 17:27, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
