Current requests for increase in protection level
[edit]Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Reason: Semi-protection needed on this article, IP user(s) have been edit-warring over the same block of text since January: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] BOZ (talk) 21:59, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
Please the protection must be this: "Auto-accept: require "autoconfirmed" permission". With this we're avoiding a lot of trouble.--2800:484:7382:B00:80DD:120A:300C:80B8 (talk) 02:54, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected indefinitely. Daniel Case (talk) 02:57, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you @Daniel Case. :) I will be back if they start targeting other articles. BOZ (talk) 03:26, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Daniel Case, one of the IPs that was likely being used by the same person was blocked for a year as an LTA case: [8] Would it make sense for me to share the rest of the IPs with you in case anything further needs to be done here? They are either meatpuppeting or just one person who is able to hop IPs often. BOZ (talk) 04:44, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- I can't do it now but I can take a look later and see what ranges they might be on that might not have been blocked at the moment. Daniel Case (talk) 04:49, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

- @BOZ
They are either meatpuppeting or just one person who is able to hop IPs often.
Definitely the latter. It's JeanCastì, who was blocked in 2023 and has since been using various sockpuppets and IP addresses.[9] Barry Wom (talk) 08:27, 1 April 2025 (UTC)- Wow yeah, he's been at this for a while. I don't know if you would want to look at likely stale IPs but I could gather a list of ones I've seen fighting over the same edits for the last couple of years or so. The one Daniel blocked has been in use steadily since 2021 so he will undoubtedly return to it. I see that range was previously blocked in November 2021, and I see more block activity earlier this year. Looks like you have been dealing with them for a while as well Barry. BOZ (talk) 09:25, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- I doubt a trawl for the IPs he's used in the past would be of much use. His M.O. is to abandon IP ranges when they're blocked and move to others.
Wow yeah, he's been at this for a while.
He sure has - over eight years, in fact. The earliest incarnation I could track down was this one, blocked in 2017. Barry Wom (talk) 10:20, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Consistent vandalism by nationalistic editing from either IP Addresses or fresh accounts. TansoShoshen (talk) 07:14, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: I am making this request in a preventative context. There have been no real issues on Wikipedia EN thus far. One recent IP edit should be presumed to be in good faith. But externally there are small examples of Delap being drawn into wider culture wars. Delap is more vulnerable than most, being 87 years old, female, and a Quaker. And the Just Stop Oil climate activist group is clearly a controversial organization. I leave this decision in the hands of moderators, with considerably more skill and experience than me in this area. RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 08:54, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]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.

Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]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.
"Israeli soldiers have summarily executed Palestinian civilians, often in front of their families." This is one citation that leads to another citation (why not list the original reference?) where it describes a single alleged incident that has been disputed. The original citation is careful to use the term 'alleged' and 'still under verification' and yet the wiki page does not say 'alleged' or 'accused of' - and goes on to add the word 'often', even though only one alleged incident is referenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.230.248.39 (talk) 02:19, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

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)
Great editor, with high quality articles.Has written 32 live articles. Xiphoid Vigour ⚔Duel⚔ 15:22, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
I have created 65 articles which are live, I understand the Wikipedia notability and other standards. I do create the articles of great quality. Hence request you to kindly grant the autopatrolled right, as the articles which I have been created are in pending for review state from long time, which demotivates me from creating new articles. Now a days, I'm mostly creating articles on Indian Villages. I have an experience of 11 years in Wikipedia, My articles are featured in DYK and ITN section of Wikipedia main page. Thanks in Advance. —Naveen N Kadalaveni (talk) 17:25, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
36hourblock has created 106 articles in mainspace, none of which have been deleted. I have marked several of 36hourblock 's articles as reviewed through NPP; initially, I noticed some issues with NPOV, but since I discussed this issue with them, the creations have been more neutral in tone. I would grant AP personally, but I would like a second opinion. Please ping me if you find any issues. Thank you!

AutoWikiBrowser[edit]
Citation and grammar edits Czarking0 (talk) 04:49, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
I'm currently working on some general maintenance of articles related to the theory of general relativity and would like some extra tools for automatic syntax fixing, etc. Some articles like this one could use some semi-automated tender love and care. A recent rewrite I did here might improve with some finishing touches too. ScienceDawns (talk) 08:44, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
I feel like I've improved as an editor since my rights were revoked in July 2024 (due to a long series of impulsive mistakes I made and not checking my work hard enough), and since I last tried to apply in November 2024. I've tried slowing down on the editing, especially with Rater, as Pppery pointed out. Anyway, the main reason why I wanted to reapply for AWB is because cleaning up Category:Pages using infobox Russian inhabited locality with unknown parameters has been rather tedious; I recently found a bunch of unnecessary parameters (most notably, "date") that I believe can be removed more efficiently if I had access to the application. However, I will try to remove parameters (or use AWB in general) as a last resort (like if the params are truly redundant), and instead try to fix them if possible. OpalYosutebito (talk) 02:29, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

New page reviewer[edit]
I am reapplying for the new page reviewer role after my initial request was declined because now I realize I had applied prematurely. Since then, I have gained some experience, refined my understanding of Wikipedia’s policies, and have been actively contributing to the Articles for Creation (AfC) review process. This has not only strengthened my ability to assess new articles but has also given me useful experience in engaging constructively with editors. I am well-versed with Wikipedia’s guidelines, particularly regarding notability, verifiability, and neutrality. My strength is my ability to remain unbiased while reviewing, and I always strive to improve by learning from my mistakes. Though my registered account is only a few months old, I have been editing Wikipedia for a long time, which has given me substantial familiarity with its norms and regulations. I have been enjoying reviewing AfC drafts, and this experience has encouraged me to take on a more active role in maintaining Wikipedia’s quality. I now feel myself confident that I can handle this responsibility and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to contribute as a new page reviewer. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Rahmatula786 (talk) 17:12, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
I would like to request NPR rights to contribute more effectively to this area and help reduce the backlog at NPP. I have created 18 articles and have been actively involved in patrolling new pages, tagging non-notable and promotional content for CSD and AfD. Many of the articles I have nominated for CSD or AfD have been deleted, which I believe reflects my understanding of Wikipedia's notability and content policies. With NPR rights, I will be able to continue this work more efficiently. I am familiar with relevant guidelines and policies and would appreciate the opportunity to help out in this area. Thanks for your time and consideration! Junbeesh (talk) 07:43, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
I've been an editor for a while and have experience in article creation (mainly on the shorter side for more niche areas with fewer sources) and have a few DYKs under my belt. Think my knowledge of policy demonstrated through this makes me a good fit for these permissions. Upjav (talk) 20:33, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
I wish to apply for New Page Reviewer permissions to deal with the large backlog of unreviewed pages. I have participated in many AfD discussions, which proves my understanding of Wikipedia's content policies and notability guidelines. JustARandomEditor123 (talk) 10:48, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
I have enjoyed reviewing newly created articles over the past two months, during which I have reviewed more than 200 articles. I plan to continue this in the future and kindly request an extension of my patroller rights. Taabii (talk) 10:51, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I am a quite experienced Wikipedia editor and pending changes reviewer; I may contribute in this field as well. Itemirus (talk) 15:00, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Reapplication for lapsed NP reviewer status, where I was asked to reapply after a second two-month trial. As in the previous requests, I've been an active WP:VG page creator, editor, and involved in WP:AFC and WP:AFD decisions. Happy to provide any more information. VRXCES (talk) 00:02, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
I am requesting this permission because I want to volunteer in reducing the NPP backlog and ensuring that new pages are encyclopedic and properly cited. I believe that I am qualified to be a new page reviewer because I have created many new articles that are encyclopedic and adequately sourced, nominated new pages for speedy deletion when appropriate and have participated in the AfD process. Cyrobyte (talk) 00:09, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
I have temporary NPP right which will expire in few days, I kindly request renewal of this right to continue reviewing articles. Thank you. Mekomo (talk) 14:33, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
Hi there. I would like to request new page reviewer rights so that I can help reduce the large backlog at AfC. I contribute at AfD and also nominate articles for speedy deletion when required. I also have a good knowledge of Wikipedia’s policies. Thanks, ScrabbleTiles (talk) 17:29, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
Hi, explaining briefly: I would like to be able to contribute in this area. Thanks in advance. JacktheBrown (talk) 15:09, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
I've been editing for a long time and understand Wikipedia's policies and goals. I especially like to help out at pages which have a lot of enthusiastic edits by knowledgeable people who might not understand Wikipedia's format and goals, making them perfect candidates for pending changes protection. I think pending changes reviewer rights would be the perfect way to help separate the wheat from the chaff and help our newest editors participate and make a difference while maintaining our high standards.

Rollback[edit]
I'm requesting rollback rights to enhance my ability to fight vandalism. I Would like to try out AntiVandal tool. I'm a Mobile user, so Rollback will be very useful for me. I'm active in recent changes, pending changes, and new pages patrol, and I understand rollback is for clear vandalism cases. I'll use it responsibly. Here is my Undo/Revert History : [13] UNITED BLASTERS (talk) 14:05, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
I'm requesting rollback rights to speed up my fight against vandalism. I have about 1,000 edits involving reverting vandalism. I'm also interested in tools such as AntiVandal. TheM1sty (talk) 17:49, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
I have taken up patrolling recent changes and clear vandalism prevension / sourceless BLP-edits in en-wiki too. I have enough experience of the tool through fi-wiki, where I am a rollbacker, pending changes reviewer and ”page stabilzer” (I think the group closest to it here was called editor?). I know I have under 200 edits too now, but my interest at the time here is vandalism prevention which is hard and takes multiple edits (causes spam in recent changes) without rollback-tool. I would ask for sysops to look at my well trusted global status and experience. Thank you! Osmo Lundell (talk) 20:33, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
Hi. Last month, I request for become a rollbacker but unfortunately is unsuccessful. For this month, I do some rollback thing and start using WP:Twinkle to make sure the page is not going vandalism by some immoral user. I hope I can become rollbacker because I want to make sure the rule of Wikipedia is no broke by any immoral user. And another reason is if I become rollbacker, I will protect the whole page everytime. MAS0802 12:03, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
I've been patrolling RC since 26 February 2025 and have made 776 mainspace edits. I'd like to use Rollback to make counter-vandalism easier, and I'm curious about both AntiVandal and Huggle. Disclaimers: I've made a couple (three, I think?) accidental reversions with Twinkle. I've also received a few talk page warnings. Anerdw (talk) 08:41, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
I would like rollbacker rights to help remove vandalism, and to try out AV. I have around 500 edits in mainspace and have patrolled RC since late February. Toast1454TC 14:07, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I am requesting rollback rights to help combat vandalism and disruptive edits more effectively. I have been patrolling recent changes for the past 30 days, focusing on identifying and reverting vandalism, test edits, and other unconstructive changes. I am familiar with Wikipedia’s policies, including WP:VANDALISM, WP:BLP, and WP:NPOV. I really wanted to improve Wikipedia by my small contribution. I understand the importance of using rollback responsibly. This permission would allow me to respond more efficiently to inappropriate edits. I want to also say that I made some silly mistakes in the starting of my patrolling. However, I learnt from them and make sure that they won't happen again. Such as reverting edits that are already reverted, that mistakes you can see on my past contributions. Thank you for considering my request.

I am requesting rollback rights to improve my patrolling workflow Currently, I use Ultraviolet with pseudo-rollback. I want to try new software like AV and/or HUGGLE, to see what fits me best. I have been RCP patrolling for more than a month and currently I am in the CVUA, which is improving my knowledge and helps me educate others. With rollback, I will be able to counter vandalism, BLP, edit test and other unconstructive edits with splendor speed, without affecting my accuracy. twisted.

I am requesting rollback rights to efficiently combat vandalism, particularly from anonymous IP editors who have been repeatedly disrupting multiple pages. Their edits often include unconstructive changes, misinformation, and page blanking, requiring frequent reversion. Having rollback rights would allow me to quickly and accurately revert these edits, ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia content. Vineyard93 (talk) 02:26, 1 April 2025 (UTC) |
Requests for template editor |
---|
Template editor[edit]
The main reason why I would like to request the template editor right is so that I may be able to edit protected modules and templates such as Module:Gridiron color/data & Module:College color/data. I would like to contribute better to protected modules and templates, and be able to answer template-protected and module-protected edit requests. I understand completely that possessing the template editor right is a privilege and can be revoked at any time if I fail to abide by the rules and guidelines set forth for having the right granted to me. I also realize that sandboxes (such as Module:Gridiron color/sandbox, for example) exist so that I do not continually make disruptive edits to live modules and templates. Furthermore, I am acutely aware that I should never try to force through changes to protected modules and templates that go against a clearly established consensus. Lastly, I am aware that, should I be re-granted the template editor right, and I fail to abide by the guidelines, that I may be subjected to being blocked from editing.

"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.

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):
- User:64.152.154.140
- User:64.152.153.104
- User:166.90.233.102
- User:65.25.234.xxx

- User:63.212.148.98
- User:64.152.159.57
- User:64.152.154.147
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.
