Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload 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 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.

Joseph Kallarangatt[edit]

Reason: The protection is not needed as the disruptive edits by unnecessarily reverting are done by an extended confirmed user. The disruptive edits(reverting) are [10] [11] [12]. These constant and complete revertings of contributions done by multiple users prevents the improvements done to the page. That particular user is alerted in the talk page of the article and hasn't yet provided evidence to his claims. Not blanket page protection but page protection from this particular user is the one needed. അദ്വൈതൻ (talk) 16:35, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

That's not an argument for unprotection, given the BLP issues FrancisSobieski123 (talk · contribs) introduced right before the ECP. If anything, that's an argument to escalate it to full-protection until a discussion has actually run its course. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:39, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
Reverting contributions of multiple users citing an unreliability of a citation added by one user is injustice. Already the article lacks Neutral point of View(under the section Pastoral ministry and sub section love and narcotics jihad controversy ) that too on a living person, the reverting has undid my multiple contributions too, all with reliable sources that was to address this issue. That particular user's blanket reverting has done no improvement to the page. And that user who reverted my contributions hasn't yet provided evidence to his claim in the article's talk page when asked അദ്വൈതൻ (talk) 17:13, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
You're still making a case for escalating the protection, not downgrading it. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 17:29, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
I presume you are saying about full protection because the user who is blatantly reverting is an extended confirmed+ user, correct? അദ്വൈതൻ (talk) 17:32, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
Correct, and because this is a content dispute. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 17:42, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
So what the solution apart from discussing in the article's talk page. As the particular user hasn't yet replied to substantiate its claims in the talk page. അദ്വൈതൻ (talk) 17:55, 22 June 2024 (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.

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled[edit]

User:Ipscaij[edit]

@Ryan shell has suggested me to request autopatrolled rights. I'm often creating simple articles about beetles in English (from the groups I'm personally already familiar with or learning about) and later expanding them if the existing resources allow me to do so. This is to allow other people to find this information and pictures more easily (otherwise it's often scattered on the internet and hard to find). I'm requesting autopatroller rights because I create large batches of articles at once, as Ryan mentioned. I only use reliable sources to provide information for Wikipedia Ipscaij (talk) 09:07, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

User:RodRabelo7[edit]

Hello,

Recently, I have made hundreds of edits primarily consisting of correcting proper names related to Brazil and, more generally, to the Portuguese-speaking world. For example, I have fixed the name of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil, which was incorrectly spelled on dozens, if not hundreds, of pages (sometimes as Luís Inácio, Luis Inacio, etc.). Other cases relating to presidents of Brazil include José Sarney (sometimes spelled Jose Sarney), Juscelino Kubitschek (sometimes spelled Juscelino Kubitscheck), and so on, to avoid going into too much detail. Regarding place names, I have corrected Rio de Janeiro (sometimes spelled Río de Janeiro, Rio De Janeiro, etc.), São Paulo (sometimes spelled Sao Paulo, etc.), Brasília (often spelled Brasilia), and so forth. There are more to be corrected, such as Belém, Maranhão, and so on.

That said, I would like to gain access to AutoWikiBrowser to make these edits more easily and efficiently, no more being so limited to redirects as I currently am. For what it's worth, I am fully aware of WP:NOTBROKEN, so I will not make changes to valid redirects, but rather to those with spelling errors ("Spelling errors and other mistakes should be corrected. Don't link to a misspelled redirect"). I also refer to WP:DIACRITICS, emphasizing that the changes I make are well-supported by English-language sources.

Finally, given that AutoWikiBrowser is such a powerful tool, I commit to being cautious while using it, always following the principle "if I'm not sure, I won't do it", to avoid issues that could lead to losing access to it. I have some knowledge of regular expressions, which could be useful when operating it.

Thank you, RodRabelo7 (talk) 18:44, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

User:War Term[edit]

I hate vandals and I don't take it anywhere on the English Wikipedia. I have reverted multiple vandalism otherwise known as dusruptive editings since I joined Wikipedia. I wish to keep Wikipedia safe and sound for readers by reverting unconstructive edits made by IP editors or registered editors. I have been doing this until today that I found out that I can formally request to join a team of committed group known as "Pending Changes reviewers". I apply for the right because I can do more being a certified editor doing what I know how to do best.Wår (talk) 05:59, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

@War Term: vandalism has a very specific meaning on Wikipedia. I don't think you currently understand all the nuances involved here yet based on [14][15][16]. You should also leave a message on the talk page of the editor you reverted. I encourage you to read this page and be a bit more careful when reverting new editors.

Can someone grant me rollback when they have the chance? Realized I forgot to ask for it after turning in the tools, and while I'm not around that much, when I am I prefer it to Twinkle. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:12, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Requesting rollback rights to more swiftly correct vandalism and other clearly improper edits. I have dealt with a variety of these over time, with demonstrated knowledge of how to warn and/or welcome with specific guidance tailored to the problematic edit in each case. Thank you.

 Not done I noticed you make a handful of edits, and then drop off for months at a time. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month consistently patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are always warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 11:21, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

As someone who constantly reverts disruptive editors and reports vandals to WP:AIV almost daily, I would greatly appreciate access to rollback permissions to facilitate my work. Skitash (talk) 20:13, 23 June 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 21:58, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
I apologize for not consistently warning editors when reverting their edits. This was primarily the case with IP hoppers, as warnings seemed redundant given that IPs keep changing. For instance, instead of warning this IP I believed to be a WP:LOUTSOCK of Derklnin (whom I had already warned), I opted to request protection for the page at WP:RPPI to secure the article against long-term IP vandalism instead. Moving forward, I will make sure to issue a warning for every IP and registered user I revert. Skitash (talk) 22:51, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

I had rollback on trial that expired about a year ago. My request to renew it was denied due to inactivity. I want to to request it again to gain access to WP:UV and WP:HUGGLE. Thanks. C F A 💬 21:36, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

 Not done When I declined your previous request, I asked you to spend a month actively patrolling RecentChanges. Upon reviewing your contributions, I found almost no reverts in the interim period. I see you made a handful of reverts today, however I'm specifically looking for experience acquired over time, not during a single day. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. -Fastily 21:58, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: I have been patrolling RecentChanges for about a month, not only today. See my undo log. I assumed this would be enough. C F A 💬 22:17, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Please re-read my previous decline, I asked you to patrol consistently and actively. You're reverting vandalism sporadically for a day and then dropping off for weeks at a time. -Fastily 22:48, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Alright, sounds good. I'll start patrolling more consistently. Thanks. C F A 💬 01:05, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

    "Do you want to take a survey?"[edit]

    On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.

    On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.

    Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.

    Short To Do list[edit]

    Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers[edit]

    Up to Dec 16, 2003, all the edits at these anonymous id's were mine (59 edits):

    More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.
