- Declined. I'm not seeing it. Almost all of their edits are to Wikipedia:Sandbox (or its talk page) where you are supposed to experiment. They're on about a news article, that's all.

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.
Indefinite extended protection: Arbitration Enforcement. Newly split article, WP:PIA5 ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 10:48, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent proxy editing by IPs and most likely sockpuppetry/block evasion. StephenMacky1 (talk) 09:18, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Ongoing edit war, and the Jogger is not offered with a CVT unlike the Sandero, so they're restoring an unsourced revision. 176.216.237.145 (talk) 09:49, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: This user who requested protection has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 13:45, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. Likely not for the reason this IP wanted, but their own persistent block evasion is enough to warrant protecting the article. - Aoidh (talk) 00:35, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: A few weeks of Persistent Vandalism. The Seal F1 (talk) 10:59, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Temporary extended-confirmed protection: Community sanctions enforcement. General sanctions for post-1992 US politics, news channel has become heavily involved in American politics. Also a highly visible page. I would propose indefinite XCON protection or temporary XCON protection for at least 4 years (during the Trump administration). RaschenTechner (talk) 17:43, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Has been getting a lot of edits, most seem to be unconstructive or blatant hoaxes. Scrimbler (talk) 17:52, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:43, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated WP:NOTAFORUM discussions have been perpetuated by various IPs since before this article's move to mainspace.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP editors keep adding the name of this person's husband to the lead as the first thing about her; I make it 8 times since last November.

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.
Reason: Page has been protected since 2015, about a decade ago. Given the very low level of vandalism since, I think we can try pending changes for some time Filmssssssssssss (talk) 00:40, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Not done. The article is not stable and there has been recent disruptive editing by autoconfirmed accounts, though apparently in good faith. This is probably not a good time. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:02, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Very little vandalism since protection back in 2012. Given the recent success of the protection downgrading of shark, I think we can try pending changes Filmssssssssssss (talk) 00:49, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- FYI AlexiusHoratius. @Filmssssssssssss: Please notify protecting administrators if they are active and remain administrators (see top of page). Sdrqaz (talk) 01:02, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Done Switched to pending changes; it had been semiprotected for a while. Try this for a bit. AlexiusHoratius 01:59, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: First of all, the 1821-1823 Ottoman-Iran war page is still a page that needs to be added and expanded. Even with the smallest edits, it can take a long time to bother the authorities by tagging them and waiting for a response from them, so I think the protection should be reduced a little, dear Wikipedia. BEFOR01 (talk) 05:28, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- FYI ToBeFree. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:02, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hello BEFOR01, the page was extended-confirmed protected partially due to your edit warring, so I'd oppose lifting the protection on your request, sorry. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:11, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Not done ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:11, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary pending changes protection: Slightly downgrading protection status in the abscense of a vandalism problem. 1101 (talk) 08:10, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
Already unprotected by administrator Graham Beards. See Special:Permalink/1283646584 § Request to Unprotect Asthma Page. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:02, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: 2 months have past, and the vandalism has reduced a lot since. I would like to edit this page to reorganize some information of the plot, and I would like this to be unprotect since some time has past. 2601:243:2100:5AC0:11B4:E735:A894:1595 (talk) 20:40, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- FYI Daniel Case. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:02, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: It was protected two years ago. Whatever dispute led to its protection is likely long gone. 174.88.141.200 (talk) 23:20, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Protecting administrator was asked on 30 March. Unprotected. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:02, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: It was protected eleven years ago. There is no reason to believe that the vandals have been waiting eleven years to return to their mischief. 174.88.141.200 (talk) 23:22, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Protecting administrator was asked on 29 March; Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Decuw was last active in 2014. Unprotected. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:02, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Low-visibility page protected since 2012. Given the age and low-visibility, I think we can try pending changes Filmssssssssssss (talk) 00:04, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- FYI Future Perfect at Sunrise. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:02, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Comment: Is it really a good idea to unprotect an article about a disputed territory? Sumanuil. (talk to me) 01:52, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
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)
- From the source:
The facts below show that Israel has killed Palestinian
Remember to sign your posts by typing four swindles ~~~~ Tarlby (t) (c) 05:43, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
civilians in Gaza indiscriminately and en masse . . . Israeli military forces have shot civilians in front of their families,
shot civilians waving white flags . . .
This is JUST GRAMMAR. Under Name appears this passage:
"president Donald Trump signed a January 20, 2025 executive order directing federal agencies to adopt the name "Gulf of America" for the gulf waters bounded by the U.S.[27][28][29][b] Major online map platforms and several U.S.-based media outlets voluntarily adopted the change.[33][34][35] Mexican president Claudia"
It contains the word "president" twice. In both cases, the context (a SPECIFIC president) requires capitalization (President). 162.231.238.136 (talk) 20:06, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- Strom Thurmond filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
This speech is now the second-longest filibuster, being surpassed by New Jersey Democratic Senator Cory Booker on April 1st, 2025 in protest of republican bill (I believe). Fortgunz (talk) 05:33, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
The author of the bill mentioned in this page was my father, Harvey F Barnard. The article has the tittle of my father's proposed bill wrong. It should be The National Economic Stabilization and Recovery Act. The current one mention in this Wikipedia article is not the bill written by Harvey. I have multiple documents to support this. I would like to speak to someone about making this change so the information is accurate. In addition my efforts as his daughter concerning his book and bill could be added to the page as well. Thank You DGerbrecht (talk) 23:19, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Autopatrolled[edit]
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)
Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights Can I have autopatrolled rights re granted, as they have now expired? Thank you! SDGB1217 (talk) 17:05, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
Hello! A am Olesya. I created my account on June 8, 2023 and I have 664 edits. I have more than 25 new articles, written by me. I like to study Wikipedia, write new articles, and edit articles according to the rules. My favorite topics are persons and companies. I would like to get Autopatrolled status to be more useful for English Wikipedia. Thank you! Olesya Drotsulova (talk) 15:23, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
I generally create articles similar to template-style articles, so I create a larger amount on elections and football tournaments. I always make sure to add categories and especially WikiProjects. I have not noticed reviewers needing to make changes to any of my articles within the last 6 months at least- from what I remember. The most recent deleted article I have was an uncontested PROD, which explained the issue to me clearly, and I will not make it again. Very few of my articles have had problems, with that being the only major one of the last fifty as I am aware. Any articles that I create that would not meet the WP:GNG "presumed" guideline, I try to have at least ten sources before considering publishing the article.

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)
I am requesting access to AWB to help me efficiently fix typos and clean up articles that I find with the "random article" button. AllCatsAreGrey (talk) 21:10, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
can I use AutoWikiBrowser on the English Wikipedia. ਰਵੀ ਸਹਿਗਲ (talk) 05:38, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
It is to following things in malayalam wikipedia such as correct common typos and grammatical errors, Standardizing article formatting and layout and Updating outdated links and references. Akbarali (talk) 03:51, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
I would like to use AutoWikiBrowser for adding wikilinks to articles. I might also use it for fixing typos. Opm581 (talk | he/him) 04:13, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
I wish to use AutoWikiBrowser to edit Wikipedia and help fix minor and major errors with automated programming, I feel like I could do a lot more with it than just regular editing. Valorrr (talk) 21:55, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed[edit]
I had my EC revoked last year by the arbitration committee. I have since completed the required 500 substantial edits to the best of my knowledge. I applied about a month ago and was refused because I didn't clearly understand the requirements. But hopefully this time I got it correctly. Tashmetu (talk) 13:58, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
I had my ECP revoked 5 months ago. Since then, I've made hundreds of meaningful edits and currently have 806 edits. IdanST (talk) 18:16, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason for requesting extended confirmed rights I had an old account that I courtesy vanished due to harassment on the List of Presidents page which had ECP and I have since created this account and would like ECP back Bluppyt789 (talk) 01:39, 23 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)
I have significant experience patrolling new pages from years ago. I have re-familiarized myself with content policies and would like to resume. — yutsi (talk) 01:58, 19 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, explaining briefly: I would like to be able to contribute in this area. Thanks in advance. JacktheBrown (talk) 15:09, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
I am an AFC reviewer asking for another trial or permanent permission for this flag. Last time, it was granted by @Sohom Datta: for a 2-month trial after the first month trial was successful. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔) 04:37, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Page mover[edit]
I'm an experienced editor with years of history on Wikipedia and I've recently been getting more into page moving (mostly to fix disambiguation-related issues). The issue is that increasingly I see that a redirect already exists at the intended destination, so it would be very helpful for me to have the page mover permission so I can resolve these issues efficiently. I have moved over 500 pages so far and have initiated several requested moves as well. I don't intend to engage in any controversial moves and if any of mine are contested I'll immediately revert and go to RM. Thanks, Habst (talk) 18:11, 1 April 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. Bruhpedia (talk) 20:52, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
I need the Pending changes right, I patrol through serval articles on Wikipedia Atimes I’m experienced, without much been said, I want to support. Chippla360 (talk) 18:29, 2 April 2025 (UTC) |

Rollback[edit]
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)
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. Please let me know if any additional information is needed. ⚡ VortexPhantom • Talk 07:35, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
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)

"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):

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.
