User-reported

Not a violation of the username policy. Real names are permitted except when they imply that the editor is a specific living person they are not. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. This doesn't appear to be a case where the person is trying to impersonate someone. Their sole edit so far asks the question about how they can get an article about themselves on the project. It's worth monitoring for COI reasons, but nothing immediate to block for. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:26, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

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: An event that has already passed, and mostly final infomation. Wikihelper910 (talk) 17:59, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

@Wikihelper910: This was protected under the auspices of a contentious topic designation (post-1992 politics of the United States) and cannot be unilaterally unprotected.

Current requests for edits to a protected page

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

GnocchiFan has made 5,000+ edits this year alone including seven Good Articles. They make extensive use of WMF Library to improve sourcing and prose. I believe they are both an excellent editor and also communicator, evident at sensitive article topics at 1984 anti-Sikh riots and Gender and sexual minorities in the Ottoman Empire. In short, let's reduce NPP backlog by giving them auto-patrolled status. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Also worth mentioning GnocchiFan created 84 non redirect articles. One article was deleted Sophie Ottaway 8-months ago. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:25, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
checkY X's Tools is only finding 4 GAs. But regardless, done...--v/r - TP 19:24, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
@TParis: I was just taking a look at this when you accepted the request, but I have my concerns here. The single source tags on Martha Bohachevsky-Chomiak and Elizabeth Neesom are valid, and Elisabeth Nilsson (lawyer) doesn't demonstrate the subject's notability very well. They have some very good-looking articles, but I feel that the basis of quality for their creations needs to be a bit higher before they're ready for the autopatrolled flag. Courtesy ping for GnocchiFan; I hope this feedback is useful for your writing in the future. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 19:36, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
I agree – those are valid concerns. I've removed the flag. Schwede66 20:20, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
  • (eyeroll) Guess we just revert other admins actions without discussing it first, now.--v/r - TP 20:29, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
I don't really hold the same reservations that you do. There is a systematic bias against covering women in history and it's even greater outside of western media. There has been an effort to increase coverage of women and I feel these two articles are geared towards that goal. It's easy to write an internet article about a living person that recently does a thing and get it published. It only costs bits and bytes. But sources existing in the early 20th century or earlier, about women, when publishing was costlier rings stronger with regards to GNG than a single article on the internet. Overall, I'm confident this user will create encyclopedic content without significant errors. None of us are error free.--v/r - TP 20:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Meets the minimum criteria, and a random sampling of their creations doesn't raise any red flags. My only concern is their liberal use of quotations in reception sections, but I don't consider it an overly serious issue for this permission as the copyright reports come away otherwise clean; I've also started a discussion on their talk page about it. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 18:54, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia Admins, I am requesting the Autopatrolled right to further support my contributions to Wikipedia. While I may not have thousands of edits or article creations, my work is rooted in careful research and learning from experienced editors. My focus is on Iranian early modern, modern, and contemporary art and culture, especially highlighting the stories of Iranian women often overlooked in history. I ensure all my edits are supported by reliable, academic sources, and I have a track record of accurate contributions with very few reverts. I believe that having the Autopatrolled right would allow me to continue enhancing the articles related to Iran and Iranian art and culture. Thank you for your consideration. Warm regards, Hounaam (talk) 22:53, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

I am requesting the Autopatrolled right, like any other editor, to help reduce the NPP work load. I have worked at AFC/NPP/AFD, and I've created good articles that would pass a deletion discussion if nominated. Cheers! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 11:47, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

@Reading Beans Yes it would, but that was just en example. I also take part in the Wikipedia Unreferenced Articles project and often find very similar articles that need the same edit done to multiple of them, which is also why I'd find AWB beneficial.

New page reviewer

I have been a registered user on Wikipedia for several years, with over 500 undeleted mainspace edits. I possess a strong understanding of content policies and guidelines, supported by my experience in quality control processes. I have actively participated in deletion processes like AfD, PROD, and CSD, contributed to Articles for Creation, and written new articles. I maintain a solid track record of interacting civilly and constructively with other editors, especially newcomers. I have no active behavioral blocks or 3RR violations within the last 6 months, and I am committed to reviewing pages solely on a volunteer basis. Imad_J (talk) 13:26, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

عماد الدين المقدسي, could you comment on your creation of Tyrone Smith (musician) in 2020? While old substandard articles are not automatically disqualifying for this permission, between the lack of extensive article creations since then (or even just edits on en.wiki in general since then), and the fact that the article has been repeatedly recreated and deleted via WP:A7, it does raise some concern. signed, Rosguill talk 18:56, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! EEverest 8848 (talk) 04:34, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in this permission. However, the recent deletion of National Cardiac Centre following Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/National Cardiac Centre means that you currently fall short of WP:NPPCRITERIA. Please continue to gain experience creating articles and participating at AfD before reapplying.  Not done for now. signed, Rosguill talk 13:29, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Greetings! I am requesting an extension of my NPP trial or have it made permanent. I was previously given a one-month extension to demonstrate my AfD skills, and in the one-month trial prior to that, I demonstrated my Review and AfC skills. Unfortunately, I have been busy preparing for the Chinese Chemistry Olympiads Finals and have had little time to edit Wikipedia for the past month. Still, I have performed some AfD and have hopefully shown my knowledge in that area. The Finals will be over on November 1st, and I'd have plenty of time to do editing then, which is why I am making this request. Pygos (talk) 07:09, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Pygos, could you comment on your decision to mark CEN/TC 264 as reviewed? signed, Rosguill talk 13:33, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
I was unfamiliar with this area, so I looked at the past records of how things were done by consulting the List of CEN technical committees, like CEN/TC 10, CEN/TC 12, CEN/TC 165. In hindsight, I should have marked that it needs extra citations. Pygos (talk) 13:47, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
Also regarding your previous doubts of my creation of the article Median of the Trapezoid theorem, I consulted the similar article Midpoint theorem (triangle), which also has only two citations, so I deduced that it'd be the acceptable number of sources for mathematics articles for it to become notable. But again, it seems that it's not. Pygos (talk) 13:55, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
Please remember that notability is not about just counting the number of references, but also assessing the character and depth of the coverage they contain. In the case of the Median of the Trapezoid theorem, the cited sources do not discuss the theorem except in passing to give a definition of a trapezoid. To meet our notability standards, a theorem will have much more coverage than a simple definition statement: there will be extended paragraphs of coverage describing the history of the theorem's discovery, its relevance to other concepts, etc. (e.g. Pythagorean theorem). signed, Rosguill talk 14:02, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
I'm going to extend your trial for another month, as that wasn't quite the answer I was looking for. If you search on Google Scholar, you'll find several examples of extensive independent coverage that do demonstrate the subject's notability. I agree that the page should have been tagged with a reference-related template ({{primary}} or {{third-party}} would be even more precise), but the reasoning you explain here is really an WP:OSE argument--while assessing similar articles can sometimes be useful when reviewing, it's not a very reliable way of judging notability. Done signed, Rosguill talk 13:54, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the trial extension! However, your inquiry about CEN/TC 264 and Median of the Trapezoid theorem is quite a while ago, and I have put up much effort to avoid WP:OSE, see my discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stations#Train Station Notability Pygos (talk) 14:11, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
Oh, yes, as the CChO finals won't be over till November 1st and that the current trial only lasts till November 7th. And as I should reapply a week prior to expiration, I'm afraid I have no time at all to review pages. Pygos (talk) 14:54, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
I'll extend it for an extra month. signed, Rosguill talk 14:58, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

But, going back on to the topic of being a New Page Reviewer would mean dedicating my time to try helping to alleviate he backlog and being able to sort out new articles whether they are an orphan or even need more citations.

I am requesting trial for New Page Reviewer rights as I have made many significant edits to main pages on Wikipedia. I am familiar with Wikipedia’s guidelines and policies and have experience in assessing the quality of new articles. With my background in content creation and editing, I believe I can contribute effectively to the review process and help maintain the quality of newly created pages.

A trial would allow me to demonstrate my ability to effectively contribute to the review process and ensure that new pages meet the required standards.

Requests for page mover

Page mover


I often move poorly-titled pages to more appropriate titles, usually to make them more WP:CONCISE, specific, neutral, or to correct spelling and transliterations. I also revert undiscussed moves in line with WP:RMUM. I would greatly appreciate having the ability to manage this myself. Skitash (talk) 21:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to get this right to delete unnecessary redirects (i.e. move pages over existing single revision redirects regardless of target). Additionally, I would also like to try to harmonize some pages of Spanish municipalities with the name of the country and the province (when necessary) instead of other subnational units (such as comarca). Moreover if a double denomination exists in some cases, I shall use the slash with spaces in between to enhance visual effect of different linguistic nomenclatures. However if an English form is more relevant I shall use it instead of double and local denominations. Other than that I could help elsewhere to move pages if necessary. Thank you, Nuvolet (talk)

I've been doing RC Patrolling (as a part of Anti-Vandalism) on Wikipedia for a while now, and I think that having the Pending Changes reviewer permission could be a good idea - there have been numerous instances involving a pending changes edit that I look at while looking through Special:RecentChanges that i wanted to accept/deny/etc, and i feel that this permission would be beneficial for my efficeincy. DM5Pedia 04:34, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback

I have been working to revert vandalism for some time now, mostly patrolling Recent changes. I have used Twinkle and RedWarn to revert vandalism and warn vandals. Rollback rights would make it easier for me to revert obvious vandalism. Thanks. Charliehdb (talk) 10:57, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 08:27, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: Thanks for pointing it out. I assure you that I will warn all vandals from now on. I hope you give me Rollback rights. Thanks. Charliehdb (talk) 12:40, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. 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 01:08, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: Offcourse, I will leave warnings/notifications for every revert. Charliehdb (talk) 13:39, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Great, thanks for confirming. I'm also a bit concerned by your recent block for edit warring. How have you learned from this experience, and in your own words, can you explain why your actions leading up to the block were inappropriate? Also, courtesy ping for @Bbb23 -Fastily 20:29, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
I don't think Charlie is ready for rollback. Besides responding to your request for an explanation, I think they should wait until they have a better track record, including not edit-warring and giving people warnings.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:55, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: I was blocked on 5 July 2024, due to edit warring. But after that, I have learned more about wikipedia policies. As you can see, in my recent contributions I haven't been in any edit warring and was notifying the users about the reverts. Thanks. Charliehdb (talk) 03:09, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
 Not done per Bbb23. Also your answer to my question does little to assure me that you have learned from the errors/behavior that led to your edit warring block. Please spend several more months establishing a track record of problem-free contributions before reapplying, thanks. -Fastily 09:41, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

I've been editing since 2015, with almost 80K edits, and have experience patrolling recent changes such as those in my watchlist. I'm familiar with policies such as VANDAL and WARN, and regularly use appropriate edit summaries and warning templates, through the use of Twinkle and RedWarn. Having rollback rights would help me revert clear cases of vandalism more effectively. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 15:35, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I don't think you should be applying for advanced permissions at this time. I see you've been blocked repeatedly for edit warring and just had TE revoked. Even so, I've reviewed your recent contributions and found sparse/little to no recent anti-vandalism work, and that is simply too few examples for me to determine if you'll be able to use the right appropriately. Please spend a few months establishing a track record of problem-free contributions before reapplying, thanks -Fastily 09:41, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: my use of rollback would be strictly for clear cases of vandalism, and I actively revert vandalism using my alt account, Neveselbert (mobile), especially when I'm on the go. Regarding the template editing issues, I misunderstood the proper process. I would use rollback rights solely to revert clear-cut vandalism, which is a different and more straightforward task. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:03, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

I have been engaging in recent changes patrolling for some time now, so I'd like to request rollback permission primarily to be able to use tools, so that I can patrol more quickly and efficiently. Thanks. Kovcszaln6 (talk) 17:38, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

 Done -Fastily 09:41, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

I've been actively patrolling recent changes for a significant amount of time and have developed a solid understanding of Wikipedia’s guidelines on vandalism and disruptive edits. Throughout this period, I’ve consistently identified and reverted problematic edits, but doing this manually can be time-consuming. Having rollback rights would allow me to handle these issues more quickly and efficiently, helping ensure Wikipedia stays a reliable resource. I’m committed to using these tools responsibly and continuing to contribute effectively to the project. Thank you DelphiLore (talk) 19:11, 5 October 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 09:41, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

I regularly patrol the recent changes page using filters that flag edits that may have problems or could be vandalism. With confirmed vandals, I keep an eye on their contributions for a short time afterwards to catch any resumed vandalism, while continuing to patrol recent changes. I previously used RedWarn, but I currently use UltraViolet and Twinkle. Rollback would enhance my recent change patrolling and anti-vandalism efforts. Thank you. R0paire-wiki (talk) 04:48, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 05:57, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
Yes I do use those tools, I believe in those cases I was concerned about biting a newcomer from a good faith or unnecessary edit, though I should have still given a notification to their talk to explain the reversion (which I now see more soft-worded warnings when using UV). I appreciate the feedback, I'll just continue as is without Rollback but being more thorough when giving any warnings or notices. Thank you. R0paire-wiki (talk) 00:43, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

— Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:22, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

I don't think it is appropriate that Launchballer was pressurised to withdraw this request, and so have completed a review anyway. I note that nearly all the edits to template namespace are to subpages of Template:Did you know nominations and are content-related rather than technical in nature. Criteria 5 and 6 are not met - these are designed to assess the need for the template editor user right. In this case there is clear demonstrable need, so I believe we may be able to exercise discretion, even if this is not a scenario that TPE was designed for. As this is potentially controversial, I will not act unilaterally in granting the user right but will wait for comments from other admins patrolling this page — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:26, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
I think the "need for the right" should be demonstrated alternatively for cases like this by edits to the DYK prep templates or edit requests at WP:ERRORS or WP:DYK for the DYK queues. Launchballer has plenty of experience in these areas. —Kusma (talk) 08:29, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
I don't know if it helps, but I've struck my withdrawal. If this is successful, I will wait for WT:DYK to say so before actually using it.--Launchballer 08:48, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

I feel like WP:INVOLVED prevents me from actioning this request myself, but I will say that having worked with Launchballer for several years at DYK, I trust them not to abuse this privilege. RoySmith (talk) 13:16, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Based on my interactions with Launchballer since my return, I concur with RoySmith.
