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.
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.

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.
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.

Because NPP is the first line of systemic bias on wiki, exempting even just my creations from NPP is an improvement. In my own experience NPP has been a net negative, while I'm sure it is useful in some cases at some point my article creations aren't those. My creation history is beyond reproach, I have even been solicitied to join NPP on multiple occasions but have repeatedly declined on ideological grounds (I don't join paramilitary organization like the NPP). Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:50, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
@Rlendog: This is your first edit to this page since 2009 and the first time you have ever granted a perm to another user, and it is to accept, without discussion or explanation, six minutes after it was made, a request for an exemption to NPP that calls it a "net negative" and "paramilitary organization". That's rather odd. Would you mind explaining what brought you here and your thought process in handling this request a bit further? – Joe (talk) 09:31, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) I wholly share Joe's concerns here, even putting aside the extraordinary speed this was seemingly actioned, but to not challenge someone who clearly has some significant underlying issues with the page patrolling process seems to be an oversight. The appellant's expressed opinions on the process and their desire to bypass it entirely, with that rationale, warrants scrutiny. Bungle(talk • contribs) 13:25, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

I've also been familiar with this editor's editing for a while, and while I think there have been issues with some of his edits to noticeboards, I have not seen any issues with his new pages. Rlendog (talk) 21:30, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
You don't see an issue with the NPP is a paramilitary organization comment then? – Joe (talk) 05:31, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
I have problems with the way this editor sometimes interacts with other editors, including overzealous language. But those problems are not with his editing of articles, creation of new articles, or with his knowledge of our guidelines and policies. If anything, they are overzealous in discussing those guidelines and policies, which is my impression of his depiction of NPP.
My experience with this editor goes back to January/February 2023, in a discussion at ANI regarding AfDs of certain football players. I thought some of their comments were inappropriate, particularly disparaging one particular editor involved in the discussion. He also made at least one uncomplimentary comment about me. Given that I was involved, and that the long discussion at ANI was plenty visible to many admins, I did not take any action regarding the HEB's disparaging comments at the time. But I did review their edits to ensure that they were not just trolling, and found that their edits to articles were fine and that they can be helpful to other editors who ask for assistance on their talk page. And since I was concerned that their aggressive comments about other editors may be a pattern, I saved some of the diffs from that ANI discussion in case issues arose later.
I've had a few other interactions with them since. In a discussion in late 2023 there were more interactions between HEB and the editor they disparaged in early 2023, in which HEB made at least one more condescending comment about the other editor. There was also an ANI around the same time about HEB's behavior in which that other editor linked the page containing my diffs from the previous ANI. I don't think I participated in the later ANI (if I did my participation was minimal), since the evidence I would have had to offer had already been linked, but I checked HEB's contributions again and did not find anything wrong with his article editing, and again saw their willingness to help others, albeit sometimes caustically, which is another reason I chose to not participate (or minimally participate) in the new ANI. After that ANI ended with no action against HEB, HEB requested that the diff page be speedy deleted. But as an admin, you are able to see it: User:Rlendog/Sandbox6.
There is one more incident I recall interacting with HEB on, where they made a disparaging remark about an editor who created an article about a sportsperson (I think an ice hockey player) that was at AfD. In that case the article pretty clearly did not meet our current notability guidelines, but had met the notability guidelines that were in place when the article was created. So I commented (not sure if it was on the AfD or on their talk page) that HEB ought to be careful about disparaging editors who created articles that were perfectly legitimate under guidelines then in effect, even if those guidelines subsequently changed.
But none of my interactions or reviews of their contributions indicated any issues with their editing or creation of articles, or with their knowledge of our current guidelines or policies; in fact, my only concern with their knowledge is their overzealousness in enforcing them. So when this request came up on my Watchlist, I was surprised that they didn't already have Autopatrol rights. I actually came to the page wondering if they were disparaging someone for requesting Autopatrol. When I saw it was they requesting, I checked some of their recent creations to make sure their wasn't a problem, and granted the rights. I am sure that they are aware that if they abuse the right it will be removed. And if you think I was mistaken in granting the right, I have no problem with you removing it. But while I think there are sometimes issues with the way they interact with others, those are not issues with article creation. And while it is possible that their interaction issues may one day get them banned or blocked, as long as they remain editors in good standing, I am comfortable with them being Autopatrolled (but again, you may have more experience granting this right, and if I erred feel free to overturn it). Rlendog (talk) 18:53, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
As a new page reviewer for the past couple months, I've seen the value of keeping high-quality page creations out of the review backlog. Since 2022, I've created 154 articles (one of which was PROD'ed, uncontested, early on, but I learned from it and that's the only one ever proposed for deletion in any venue). I think my track record of page creation is strong and I'd like to receive autopatrolled rights to reduce the NPP backlog for my future article creations. I'm also autopatrolled for redirects if that's helpful context. Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:43, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'd like to request page mover rights as I often come across articles that do not follow the Wikipedia:Article titles policy and though usually move those articles myself, they sometimes can't be moved due to technical reasons. I have participated in numerous WP:RMs and opened many significant ones, as well as performed many moves myself over the past. Thank you. PadFoot2008 04:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
I am slightly concerned about the number of recent reverted moves. Primefac (talk) 14:45, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello @Primefac, concerning those two reverted moves, they were indeed mistakes on my part. In hindsight, I should have done a deeper study of the main article Gahadavala dynasty. I had decided to move some Indian monarch articles to be in par with the standard convention of "(name) of (kingdom)" (such as George II of Great Britain), and when I discovered the two articles (Madanapala (Gahadavala dynasty) and Govindachandra (Gahadavala dynasty)), I proceeded to have a quick look at the main article, where I saw the phrase "Gahadavalas of Kannauj", and after performing a quick search through the usages of "Govindachandra of Kannauj" in RS, I arrived at the conclusion that it would be a good move location. After the move was reverted, I dug deeper and read the main article more carefully and found out that the Gahadavalas do not actually appear to have ruled over the city of Kannauj but rather over Varanasi. I have since been more careful in performing such moves, and the five monarch related article moves performed since seem good for now. PadFoot (talk) 11:43, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

I'm a productive user that has warned people in the past for distruptive editing, COI, vandalism and more. I usually try to complete things I start and it is very painful for me to look at Special:PendingChanges having tons of articles.

Not done, I looked through the history of your talk page to see how you interact with other editors and quickly found this edit (pure vandalism, and dismissed with "Get off my talk page."). Plus, lots of other warnings (and a block) for personal attacks; copyvio, edit warring, and more, and you chose to respond insultingly to most of them. Advanced permissions require the ability to distinguish vandalism (and obviously refrain from it yourself) and to engage in good faith with messages from other editors. DanCherek (talk) 17:22, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
@DanCherek: I respect your decision, but except for my regrettable vandalism, those other edit summaries were from 2022 (the year where I got my only block), and it's mid 2024 now. I have since assumed good faith, stayed away from violating the rules, and made substantial edits. Is this terminal and it's a fool's errand to re-request in the future? — hhypeboyh💬 • ✏️ 07:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
No, not a fool's errand, and I understand that a lot of those warnings were in the past, but edit summaries like this and this – from this past month – aren't ones to be proud of in terms of AGF'ing. Not trying to bring you down, but to set up the rest of this answer and hopefully help a future request: my advice is that when reviewing a permissions request, one of the things I (and probably many other admins) consider is how you would likely respond to a question about your use of the permission. So I suggest first building a track record of interacting with others in a collegial way, on your talk page and elsewhere. If a new editor's good-faith pending change gets reverted by you, for whatever reason, and they ask you about it on your talk page, I would like to have an indication that you would discuss it with them and not just blank the message. I appreciate the recent note on your talk page history, I think it's a good start. DanCherek (talk) 12:22, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
@DanCherek: I understand. Thank you for taking the time to reassess my editing history. Cheers. — hhypeboyh💬 • ✏️ 01:40, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Recently, I have reverted several edits on pages within the Wikipedia:WikiProject Jainism and some in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Hinduism. In my view, there are very few active users with rollback rights working on these WikiProjects. I would want to volunteer to be one because of the sheer abuse of pages in these WikiProjects. Several users push their POV on pages in these WikiProjects since they are related to religion. People are adamant on their POV being correct. Mutual rivalry is common on pages in these two projects. I have boldly reverted edits that were clearly vandalism and those that pushed a POV and deleted the other, more-sourced POV on pages like Manatunga, Sivabhuti, Jain temples, Pavagadh, Hathigumpha inscription and some other smaller pages as well. I believe rollback rights would just make this job easier for me because on some pages, I have had to manually remove the content that vandalized the page. Rollback rights would just help me do it faster. RJShashwat (talk) 02:20, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I've been at en wiki since May 2006 with 30,000 edits, around 59 pages created, and around 500 articles on my watchlist. I have used undo until now and most often leave notices on user talk pages, but I could do with rollback where there have been multiple edits by the same user, so that I can more easily and quickly provide an edit summary.
