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.

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.

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled edit

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)

 Done I've looked through your last 10 articles. You produce clean articles and nobody comes along and does tidy-up work. The obvious area for improvement is with date formats. Often, you use mdy dates in the prose and you consistently use dmy dates for referencing. Not sure why you do that but it's not a good idea. Settle on one date format and then stick to it. And with regards to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2024 Loblaw boycott, I'm unconcerned about that; the worst that will happen is a merge. Good work! Schwede66 08:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
I agree that I need to get into the habit of adding the "Use mdy dates" templates. The reason why I use dmy in referencing is due to just being used to Wikipedia's automatic dmy-setting retrieve date for referencing. B3251 (talk) 15:53, 5 May 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)

 Not done There's always a little bit that others have to clean up when you finish with an article. Nothing major: DEFAULTSORT, dashes, categorisation. But to walk away from such a version is just not good enough. It wasn't just tagged for bare URLs but also as an orphan. And when someone came and fixed your bare URLs for you, you removed the bare URLs tag but didn't attend to the referencing mistake that the other editor had introduced. For autopatrolled, articles need to be cleaner. Your editing seems a bit rushed. With a little more care, you could qualify for autopatrolled in no time. As an aside, removing unpleasant messages from your talk archive is not something you should do. Schwede66 09:34, 5 May 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 EreborThe Book of Mazarbul 13:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Dclemens1971 edit

I have extensive experience with new page creation and expanding stubs into appropriately sourced articles, and I also engage regularly (and constructively!) in AfD debates and PRODs with a good understanding of applicable policies. I'd like to apply this experience by helping out in May with the NPP backlog. Thanks for considering! Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Dclemens1971, I appreciate your desire to help out with the backlog as we always need fresh eyes and eager participants. :) I see that you've had some participation with AfDs, which is good because a lot of NPP is related to the nuances surrounding notability. I took a look at the articles you've created. I noticed that some of your articles rely heavily on primary sources? Some examples are Church of Bangladesh Diocese of Kushtia, Church of Bangladesh Diocese of Barisal, Nathan Ingen, and Brian Williams (bishop)? I admit that this has prompted some serious hesitation on my part. I'd rather not reject a request before hearing what you have to say on the matter, though. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 11:25, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the question @Clovermoss. I agree that the pages rely on primary sources for non-controversial facts. Dioceses and other middle judicatories of major church traditions (Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican) have historically been viewed as per se notable, even without secondary sourcing (see AfDs from 2019, 2018, 2018, 2012, 2007, 2007. (The only "delete" results for a diocese that I've seen were for a tiny splinter group with no sourcing available at all or for an apparent hoax). Under the principle articulated by these "keep" results, I operated on the view that the Church of Bangladesh dioceses can be presumed notable. For Nathan Ingen and Brian Williams, WP:BISHOPS states that "[t]he bishops of major Christian denominations are notable by virtue of their status." (In both of these cases, the bishops are also acting primates (heads) of their churches in the Anglican Communion.) To sum up: I understand that generally N:ORGCRIT or N:BIO apply, but WP practice appears to treat major church traditions' dioceses and bishops as inherently notable and that's what I operated under for those articles. Happy to continue the conversation or answer other questions. Dclemens1971 (talk) 12:35, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user was granted temporary new page reviewer rights by Hey man im josh (expires 00:00, 8 May 2024 (UTC)). MusikBot talk 20:40, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
I'm under the impression that Hey man im josh wanted to leave this to another admin (since they told me this), otherwise I would've left this to their discretion. My approach for regranting trial perms is to look at patrols, whether any pages were draftified or deleted, and if there is feedback from other editors that was taken into consideration. In regards to the last factor, I noticed that some concerns have been expressed before by Joe Roe. So, this is what I've noticed at this point in time:
  • You have made a lot of patrols during this limited timeframe. I assume that some of the motivation behind this may be because of the backlog and ongoing drive. It's important to make sure you're always focusing on quality and that sacrifices are never made for quantity alone. It took me quite some time to look through your patrol log, but I didn't notice any glaring issues as a whole. I did add stub templates to articles when nessecary but you were otherwise good at noting issues through the page curation process (such as when an article relied on a single source). The bulk of your patrols were clear SNG passes (NPOL, GEOLAND, or NSPECIES). I would advise you to be more careful when coming across articles outside of these clear passes as this is where you've made a few mistakes. I'd be more careful with sports-related articles like Dare Olatunji as most of the coverage there is either statistics or passing mentions (see WP:SPORTCRIT). A few of the articles you patrolled were later deleted (one example is Delta Air Lines Flight 520), while others like Chioma Rowland, Fayse Goh and Vida Loka II are currently at AfD. Some articles you patrolled were speedily deleted: Malhan Family as a G11, Setlhare sa Losika ke Eng? as an A10, and Out of Dark as an A7. You don't typically review redirects but many of the ones you have have been deleted through RfD.
  • You have participated in deletion discussions, many of which you have started yourself. I'm not seeing any clear issues with the majority of your nominations, but I did want to point out Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pratikur Rahaman. I understand your NPOL argument as they are not an elected politician (I don't know enough about the sourcing to say the same about GNG) but I did find your comment about the article being promotionally written to be a bit confusing. In your place, I would have likely responded back to the article creator about what language I found promotional, especially since they asked. In regards to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iqra Hasan, your argument about notability not being inherited falls a bit short because the sourcing focuses on her, not her family. I think someone could reasonably come to the conclusion that she meets GNG, but I'm not familiar enough with Indian sources to make that call myself. Overall, you have a very good track record at AfD.
  • I still need to take a detailed look at your drafitications and communication with other editors regarding your patrols. Double checking the patrols themselves took several hours of my time. I don't want to accidently lose all of what I've written above because my internet is starting to be a bit finicky now, but there will be a part 2 once I've taken a break. Please don't take my above feedback too harshly, I just want to help point out what I can to make you a better page patroller. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 09:31, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 Done – I took a look at your recent drafitications and they seemed reasonable enough to me. I read your talk page archives for April and May and you don't ignore editors who come to your talk page about your patrols. I'd suggest maybe explaining why you would be inclined to send something to AfD instead of just saying so when someone comes to you with a review request... it comes across as less bitey. Ideally, we want to go beyond not just biting. I personally try to go that extra mile and explain why an article wouldn't meet GNG or give examples of what a reliable source they should be citing is (like a newspaper instead of a blog). Given everything I've said as a whole, I'd be most comfortable granting you this permission on a trial basis for four more months. As I said before, please don't take my feedback too harshly. I genuinely do wish you the best in your efforts here and I realize that the nuances of everything can be a bit rough to take in. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 10:29, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
@Clovermoss Thank you for the feedbacks and taking your time to go through my logs (sorry for that many hours, lol). Yeah, in fact, you will find a lot of my reviews that were speedy deleted or at AfD, if you check the logs against each other (time it was nominated at AfD and time it was marked as reviewed) you will see that I only marked them as reviewed because they are already at AfD. I don’t review them before AfD but rather after they were nominated, so that it can leave the queue. Same thing applies to the speedied articles. Just to take them out of them queue. I hope you now understand why you’d find deleted articles on my patrol logs. I believe this is natural because it’s part of the NPP guide (currently mobile, can’t link to it right off the bat). And, what’s the essence of AfD, after all it’s a discussion and I can say that I have, in rare occasions, nominated articles that are borderline notable just to affirm their notability and not really to get them deleted. For the bite, I don’t think I should call it a bite though, because this user isn’t new and as a matter fact older than me here on Wikipedia, I tend to believe old users should understand things better, but I realized long ago that that is actually not always the case. I didn’t mean for that message to be read as a WP:BITE.
Overall, thank you for being a great admin, thanks for paying attention to details and thank you for providing such helpful and genuine feedback, it is very much appreciated. I definitely didn’t take them harshly as they’re obviously not presented harshly. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 10:46, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
You are correct that WP:NPP states that articles marked for deletion can be reviewed. I didn't consider that angle and that does make your logged actions here seem more reasonable in retrospect. As for newbies... I can understand why you wouldn't consider them to be one, but they didn't really start becoming active until mid-2023 and sometimes people can make newbie mistakes while trying to learn the ropes their first year or so of editing. I generally strive to do my best explaining things to people regardless (unless they make a habit of not bothering to listen). Thank you for the compliment, I do try to pay attention to details even if I don't always catch everything. Alas, none of us are perfect. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 11:00, 7 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 [1]. 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)

User:TheTechie edit

I am requesting this permission to help out with the backlog, as the notice came on my watchlist.

  1. I am extended confirmed and have been here for 3+ years, so I meet the account age/edit count requirements.
  2. I have never had any blocks.
  3. I agree to reviewing on a volunteer basis.

I would like to be able to use this permission, even if temporary, to help with the drive, as said above. If you reply here, please ping me. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 03:14, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Kindly asking, but any update on my application? I'd really like to help out with the drive. If you'd like to decline me, that's fine, just please let me know early. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 03:25, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 Done for a trial period of one month. Ping me when it expires for feedback if you're still interested in reviewing at that point. Thank you for offering to help with the backlog. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 09:53, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Dudhhr edit

I'd like to volunteer for the NPP drive this month. I was previously granted the right for a trial period in August (expired a month later, extension request declined), and for another trial in December (for the January drive; unfortunately I was inactive as I was busy IRL). I have a bit of content writing experience (Trams in Olsztyn ) and formerly worked in AfC reviewing. – dudhhr talkcontribssheher 17:19, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

User:B3251 edit

I would like to help out with the backlog. I’m very familiar with the content policies, having created 71 active articles (most being non-stubs) as of making this request. I’ve additionally had some experience in participating in discussions, handling deletion templates, and moving new articles with significant issues to the draft space. B3251 (talk) 10:57, 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.

Requests for page mover

Page mover edit


User:Kung Fu Man edit

Requesting page mover rights for my frequent work on video game character articles, many of which involve writing up an article on a userpage to later move to where a previous redirect may exist and working alongside other editors towards this end. Kung Fu Man (talk) 17:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

 Not done, as I'm not seeing any need. If someone writes a new article in their userspace, and they're the only editor, they can simply copy/paste their content into any existing redirect or article. Prime example is the nonsense happening around Locke Cole/User:Cukie Gherkin/Locke Cole. If you find yourself making a number of RM/TR requests for pages that don't fit this bill (which I see none of to date) there might be more of an argument for granting. Primefac (talk) 11:41, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

User:WiinterU edit

I would like to have page moving rights because of many company articles with incorrect article names with their correct names being the redirects. WiinterU 00:24, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

 Not done per lack of demonstrated need; no RM/TR requests, very little RM participation, and none of the moves you have made seem to indicate that suppression of a redirect or a round-robin page move were necessary. Primefac (talk) 11:48, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Remsense edit

  1. I often move articles in a space (China and Chinese-related topics) where there are specific naming conventions that are uncontroversial moves, sometimes requiring #delete-redirect.
  2. I often move pages around in my userspace, and #suppress-redirect would perhaps clutter the U1 log less. Remsense 23:12, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 Done for three months. Primefac (talk) 11:51, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer edit

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.

I'm sorry you think my decline of your request was unfair, I did read it, and I gave my honest impression of it. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 22:43, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
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. Sunnyboi18 (talk) 09:09, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
I'm leaving this open for another, previously uninvolved admin to review, I was just explaining myself. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 18:24, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

User:CanonNi edit

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!

Requests for rollback

Rollback edit

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)
Awesome, thanks for confirming,  Done -Fastily 21:03, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Wiiformii edit

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)

@Fastily Hello, these edits were mistakes on my part, although the large majority of the rest of my reverts come with warnings using Ultraviolet (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Thank you for bringing it to my attention and I will make sure to appropriately warn users in the future.
