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.

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 NAME HAS BEEN LEGALLY CHANGED 99.14.53.67 (talk) 16:10, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Not done discussion of what to name the page is ongoing on the talk page. Due to extensive disruption, often by IPs typing in all-caps, participation on the talk page is currently limited to autoconfirmed editors (those who have created an account more than 4 days ago and made at least 10 edits). signed, Rosguill talk 16:19, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

No protection: No longer necessary. 1250metersdeep (talk) 17:33, 14 February 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.

Autopatrolled

[edit]

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 [1]. 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)
That's good to know, because I have the same problem that Vanderwaalforces talks about. I will have to get back to this item. Schwede66 07:44, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Concise, well-written and sufficiently articles, mostly with a royal or Church of England focus. I looked at an articles of theirs as part of NPP, and found it to be up to standard without editing. Others look reasonable too. Klbrain (talk) 12:15, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

It is my 8th year of editing (4th with this account). I have written a number of articles of various types and none have been permanently deleted. I have made mistakes, but understand what they were and how to avoid them. About to publish many geography stubs (manually written, differing in content, not violating MASSCREATE - see Ledenice and Zapeć for examples). Articles like Cirsium greimleri, First Vrbnik Breviary, Petər Klepəc and Veternica are more representative of my work, though. Ivan (talk) 17:48, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

91 main space articles, 45 rated above stub, no deletions. I mostly create articles for albums or BLPs of musicians. GanzKnusper (talk) 09:26, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

I know my first articles are... bad, but my recent pages, Yumeshima Station, Meitetsu KiHa 10 series, Meitetsu 3400 series, and Resignation services should be good without being patrolled. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 03:11, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

The user has created 189 articles, and only two have ever been deleted—with one later restored. They have a strong understanding of reliable sources (WP:RS) and are well-versed in BLP policies (WP:BLP). I've reviewed one or two of their articles, and I believe they truly deserve the rights.

Requests for confirmation

Confirmed

[edit]

I am requesting confirmed (autoconfirmed) rights for my account, SmartChimpanzee. I have already contributed two entries to the talk page for the article "2025 Potomac River mid-air collision" regarding a proposed update to the helicopter model information. However, since I do not yet have confirmed rights, I am unable to edit the main article directly.

My contributions on the talk page have focused on adding information supported by reliable sources—specifically, evidence that the helicopter involved in the collision is a UH‑60M (the “gold top”) rather than the currently listed UH‑60L. Being able to edit the article directly would allow me to incorporate this important information and improve the overall accuracy of the entry.

I have followed Wikipedia’s guidelines and have provided verifiable sources in my talk page entries. Granting confirmed rights would enable me to continue contributing effectively to the article and other related topics.

Thank you for considering my request. SmartChimpanzee (talk) 22:51, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi SmartChimpanzee. I am marking this as  Not done, but you will automatically become autoconfirmed in the next day or two. We don't really skip this period for new accounts barring extraordinary circumstances, but the good news is that most articles are not protected and could use your help right now!

Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

[edit]

Arcticocean requested that, "If [I] wish to gain [ECR] again, the onus would be on [me] to prove that trust has been regained." To address this challenge, I would like to respond to the two concerns raised:

1. "You have added translated content from other Wikipedias without attribution."
2. "You have artificially split your article contributions into separate edits to more quickly reach a high edit count."


1. Translated content without attribution

In October 2024, I misunderstood the rules regarding proper attribution for translated content. Since January 2025, I believe I have consistently included proper attribution in all my edit summaries, as demonstrated in these examples: here, here or here.


2. Split article contributions

Regarding this concern, I would like to clarify that my first 350 edits, made between 2006 and 2013, occurred before the 500 edits rule was introduced (2016). These edits could not have been intended to meet a requirement that did not exist at the time.
I acknowledge that I intentionally split my contributions to reach the 500 edits threshold, only for the remaining 150 contributions needed to meet this target.
However, since then, I have made over 700 additional contributions (~1200 in total) without splitting them. This can be seen in my average edit size, which is approximately 350 bytes and aligns with averages observed among contributors, including administrators.

I hope this explanation demonstrates my commitment to addressing the concerns raised and regaining trust. Michael Boutboul (talk) 15:19, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

New page reviewer

I would like to request permanent NPR rights. I was granted a trial back in December, a week-ish before the Jan drive. I had earned about 350 points during that drive. My activity during the last week has been less due to IRL duties, but I plan to do more reviews from this weekend. Thanks! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 07:13, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your continued interest in this permission. After reviewing your trial run, I ultimately came across too many issues to feel comfortable conferring full permissions at this time. In particular, I note that at 2012 Hama massacre and Battle of Maarrat Al-Nu'man, you marked as reviewed two redirects that were tagged for RfD but for which no RfD discussion was ever opened; the RfD tags should have been reverted after reviewing the page histories to confirm that no discussion was created. Further at Chris Rice (producer) you failed to note clear signs of COI/UPE editing. All that having been said, your AfD track record is quite strong, so I'm going to go ahead and give you an extension of the trial run, as I think the issues I identified are errors that can be corrected going forward. signed, Rosguill talk 19:51, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Currently the third most active pending changes reviewer on DreamRimmer's list, and I thought I'd try my hand at some larger-scale work of a similar fashion – rather than reviewing edits, reviewing articles. I'm good with newcomers and know how to work on articles. I'd also like to help reduce the frighteningly large backlog. Thanks for considering my request. 🐔 Chicdat  Bawk to me! 12:25, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Hi there. (An admin will review your request). In the meantime you've only been a pending changes reviewer for just over a month and last year you only made just over 200 mainspace edits. From look at your talk page messages, You may have some time to go before you have fully absorbed all that is required at WP:NPP. Have you considered enrolling at the NPP School ? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:04, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
@Kudpung: I suppose the spam accept may be sort of a deal-breaker at the moment (although I've certainly learned my lesson about that). I wouldn't be opposed to going through NPP School first. 🐔 Chicdat  Bawk to me! 11:00, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
NPP puts powerful tools in the hands of users and they need an almost admin level knowledge of most policies. This comes very hard on the heels of you obtaining the PC right. I suggest you continue with that for a while and in the meantime thoroughly read the tutorial at WP:NPP, follow all the links to related processes and policies (especially CSD, Redirect, and moving), learn which parts needs consensus for changes, participate at WP:AfD to learn how that works, and then apply for a course at the NPP school in a couple of months.

My permissions expire at midnight UTC on February 8, so I am here to request a renewal of my new page reviewer permissions following its expiry. Reviewing new pages had been an educational experience in my Wikipedian career and I hope to do so to contribute after having my permissions renewed. MimirIsSmart (talk) 15:51, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

One month ago I was given a trial run for NPR rights, which ended today. I enjoyed doing NPR and helping with the backlog, and I am requesting for a renewal of those rights for another month (or potentially longer) so I can keep helping with the backlog. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 07:03, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights

I would like to help clear the backlog and having done a couple of weeks and learned a bit I think I can make a useful contribution here. Lukewarmbeer (talk) 13:05, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Shall I assume not then? I quite enjoyed my short stint. Lukewarmbeer (talk) 22:54, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Please renew my rights, thank you. Aqurs1 (talk) 06:06, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

I've been pretty active in the AFD process recently and been creating and improving articles as of late. I like going through the NPP and wish to become a reviewer to reduce the backlog and help out. I've already had a hand in improving some of the articles on there, by fixing up errors, adding categories, linking them in other pages etc. I hope to become a reviewer to help out, thanks! jolielover♥talk 17:31, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for new page reviewer declined in the past 90 days ([6]). MusikBot talk 17:40, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights

I have authored a few articles, improved the quality of many articles including adding high quality references and improving encyclopedic quality. I have also limited experiences in deletion. I also have just been granted AFC reviewer options and starting to increase my participation in that. Welcome feedback if I can qualify. Thanks for the consideration Trex32 (talk) 00:19, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Previously, I was granted confirmed NPR rights after completing the probationary period, but my status was automatically revoked last week due to inactivity. I would like to have my previous NPR rights reinstated. Tatupiplu'talk 03:47, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had this permission revoked in the past 180 days ([7]). MusikBot talk 03:50, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) You have been almost totally absent from Wikipedia for around 4 years and with only around 5 mainspace edits in that time there is no indication of a consistent return to activity. In view of the frequent grantings and removals of this user right and the many changes to policies and process over the past 4 years, you would almost certainly need to catch up by doing routine maintenance and participation in AfD discussion for which you don't need the NPP tools yet. I would suggest before applying for the right again the minimum would be the start criteria for NPP of at least 90 days consistent contributions to Wikipedia with at least 500 undeleted mainspace edits. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:27, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
 Not done. Not enough recent activity to show familiarity with policy and content expectations. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:23, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
Though I predominantly work with redirects, at least recently, I also engage with new pages and would like to help further in the new pages patrol in reviewing for quality and to help with the backlog. I have made almost 46,000 edits and believe that I can help. Iljhgtn (talk) 16:30, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

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

)
22:44, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
@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)
@Ahecht just curious, would you object to a grant here? If so this should be declined for now. Otherwise I'd consider granting since PCR is a pretty newbie-friendly permission. Elli (talk | contribs) 17:35, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
@Elli I haven't re-reviewed their history, but if there have been no significant red flags since mid-January I'd be fine with granting. --Ahecht (TALK

I've been actively editing and reviewing contributions for a while, and I’m familiar with Wikipedia's guidelines. Having pending changes reviewer rights would let me help ensure that new articles meets our quality standards. Vellutis (talk) 13:41, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

 Not done Having pending changes reviewer rights would let me help ensure that new articles meets our quality standards. Please reread WP:Reviewing pending changes - that's not what that right does. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:58, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
I have been an active contributor to Wikipedia and focused on editing articles, reviewing new pages & combating vandalism. I am requesting for PCR right to speeding up the review process for pending changes. I am familiar with key Wikipedia content policies, including vandalism, biographies of living persons (BLP), neutral point of view (NPOV), verifiability, and copyright compliance. I've also been involved in patrolling recent changes, where I use Twinkle tool to revert vandalism. With my experience and understanding of these policies, I believe that I can effectively contribute to reviewing pending changes. 𝐌P𝛂n 𓃠 {✝alk} 20:05, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

After starting with Recent Changes Patrolling I found myself in a very rewarding position, seeing that I can help other Wikipedians and the Wiki as a whole. But I also experienced the limitation of not having the Rollback right so I'd like to switch to AntiVandal or Huggle. Squawk7700 (talk) 22:20, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm actively patrolling articles on countries, political figures, and political parties that are frequently vandalized. Rollback permissions would help me quickly remove harmful edits and maintain articles accuracy and quality. Vellutis (talk) 13:48, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Have you monitored Recent Changes at all? / RemoveRedSky [talk] [gb] 17:25, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
 Not done No recent changes patrolling activity. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:57, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

after 2 years I got alot of editing, wanna test another experience. thanks QalasQalas (talk) 00:15, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi. I've recently come across several instances where rollbacking would be faster than manually reverting nonconstructive consecutive edits. I don't patrol Recent Changes, but I am quite active and have more than 3,100 pages on my Watchlist. Thanks for your consideration. PRRfan (talk) 04:11, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
Requests for template editor

Template editor

[edit]

I come across bugs in template-protected templates from time to time, and I think I'm proficient enough to fix them without someone else checking it over. For instance, I recently submitted an edit request to fix {{Huggle/warn-unsor-2}}'s substitution behavior, and I found a similar issue in {{uw-editsummary2}}. I understand that edits to widely-used templates should be tested in a sandbox first, that they should reflect consensus, and that they can have nontrivial performance costs. jlwoodwa (talk) 01:51, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
