Current requests for increase in protection level

[edit]
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.


Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 01:58, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism and talk page disputes. Akechi The Agent Of Chaos (talk) 05:34, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Already protected by administrator ToBeFree.. I don't see how anything other than the existing semi-protection would prevent IP vandalism (which hasn't occurred recently, since October, when the page was semi-protected for one year). — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 05:49, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Duelling nationalist IPs. CMD (talk) 06:45, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Article is continously being created despite a recent deletion discussion. (Note: there is an ongoing WP:RfD for this page title, which is why WP:CSD#G4 is not being requested at this time. SSSB (talk) 06:58, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent IP vandalism (transfer rumors) BlameRuiner (talk) 07:06, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Most of the IP edits recently have been disruptive and unconstructive. ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:55, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – We have couple of IP and new editors warring around pictures without engaging in the talk. FuzzyMagma (talk) 08:20, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 09:28, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Euryalus (talk) 09:39, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Repeated IP attack since the previous protection expired on 10 December 2024. -- Toddy1 (talk) 11:05, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Violations of the biographies of living persons policy. Repeatedly similar edits (by IP/newly registered users since December last year) for rumors regarding personal life which has been debunked by multiple sources. Also requesting for indefinite pending changes protection. (Some of the changes:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) MSLQr (talk) 12:13, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

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:Article is in a poorly written state and barely gets meaningful contributions since it was last protected. No signs of disruptive editing for a long time either.Axedd (talk) 14:45, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

@Axedd: Is the long-term abuser that caused the article to be ECP'd still active on other articles? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:46, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
Last time this specific user was active was 4 years ago according to his case page. I believe another sock caused this page to locked over an year ago for edit warring, but they weren't solely interested in this particular page. Axedd (talk) 16:52, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
The case page is not a reliable indicator of if an LTA is active or not, especially if they're reveling in the attention. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 08:28, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

20:18, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
Thank you Axedd for being in touch and Jéské for the ping. Axedd, you are already able to edit this article in the currently protected state. For context, there have been over 18 different page protections applied over the years due to long term abuse, block evasion, and persistent disruption in general. In light of this, was there any specific reason that you're looking to see this page unprotected? Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 23:34, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: The article was protected back in 2010, when protecting standards were far lower. I believe it's now ready to go unprotected, Cheers. 50.100.53.53 (talk) 04:02, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm willing to try unprotection after 14 years of indef protection, unless Courcelles objects. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:39, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because i believe that the metaverse is now less associated with crypto and the blockchain - especially after the rise of spatial computing. 67.209.128.24 (talk) 15:46, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Suggested action: Lower to WP:WHITELOCK/WP:PCPP to prevent disruptive editing from cryptospammers while still allowing for broader contribution from legitimate editors (especially IPs like me). Otherwise, if no cryptospam is expected, remove protection completely. 67.209.128.24 (talk) 15:51, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Not everything from the Middle East/Canaan/Israel/Palestine is related to the conflict. Heyaaaaalol (talk) 05:28, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

@Heyaaaaalol: For what it is worth, it was protected unilaterally for one year (the maximum allowed for unilateral actions), per an RfPP request that was initially only asking for a semi. This cannot be unprotected here, but if you want to contest it with it being three weeks away from the protection lapsing, take it to User talk:Daniel Quinlan or to WP:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 08:23, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: The Admin didn't restore the article to a stable edit, since the edit warring actually began at 11/24/2024 by Tobby's edit. Please restore the article to an older version, thanks. 41.68.190.220 (talk) 09:43, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Declined. This isn’t a request for reduction in protection level. Take this issue up with the protecting administrator. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 09:55, 10 December 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.


This, I think, is the first time I've made a suggestion. Hopefully, I'm doing this correctly.

The lateral fricative voiced retroflex, as an example, has an IPA representation of ɖɭ˔ according to its Wikipedia page, but the IPA Pulmonic table and other tables use the Unicode representation in the table and any font I have found just doesn't handle that character,

Would it be better to use the IPA representation which I think many fonts handle since the table has 'IPA' in its title and its link points to the Wikipedia page with both representations? The linked article each cell in the table states that the representation the IPA version and that the Unicode character is implied from that.

I'd be happy to make a list of each table and cell where this occurs if that is necessary and you think these will be worthwhile changes. BLWBebopKid (talk) 19:51, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Pinging @Kwamikagami as they are likely to have some insight to these issues. For me personally, I'm not sure. I happen to have fonts installed that handle the extIPA symbols, but I'm in the stark minority there. Remsense ‥  01:46, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
ExtIPA is IPA. It's just a specialized subset. For example, extIPA can be used in the 'Illustrations of the IPA' published in JIPA.
The issue is one of font support. The letters in question date to 2015, though they weren't added to Unicode until 2021. There are websites that list fonts that support various characters. These are supported by the SIL fonts, which are the best free IPA fonts available. If you don't have a good font installed, you're not going to be able to view IPA correctly anyway. That's why we have the IPA notice in articles, that you may need to install an IPA font to view the article properly. — kwami (talk) 05:32, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

[edit]

User:Pbritti told me to. Apparently I qualify, and I've been cranking out a decent number of articled recently. Been editing Wikipedia on and off since 2009, been editing more regularly for the last year or two. Been a rollbacker and pending changes reviewer for almost 12 years. I created one GA and have taken two articles from being just a few sentences to GA status, a few more nominations in the pipeline. ~Darth StabroTalk  Contribs 02:51, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Stating my support here. Encouraged him to seek this. He's told me about his plans for future articles and they seem to involve careful research up to GNG standards. His recent work has passed through GA and DYK, so quality is there. ~ Pbritti (talk) 02:56, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

During the temporary stint granted as autopatrolled, I have created over 100 pages following the suggestions of the admin. Have been consistently adding relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them. Have also started using Rater and StubSorter.

Particularly for tasks like fixing broken templates and adding article-improvement templates. Since I frequently go through hundreds of articles a day via Huggle, AWB would help by allowing me to quickly add these templates without having to manually search for them and copy-paste them into each article. A recent issue that comes to mind was dealing with a few instances of {{cn}} spam, as seen here and here. This would help clear up stuff like this. Synorem (talk) 03:32, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

New page reviewer

[edit]

I see that there is a large backlog, so I would like to help reduce it, especially the redirects, as I have more experience with them. I have not created any articles, but I have read the tutorials for NPR and related pages, so I will not make any unintentional (or intentional) detrimental edits. I am familiar with WP:BLAR, WP:PROD and WP:AfD, and have behaved civilly with other editors. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 11:20, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to become an NPR to help reduce the work, I regularly intervene on drafts and edit them to format them and put banners or comments to advise the creator on the steps to follow so that this draft becomes eligible, in the case that it is possible. I know the rules of Wikipedia and the essential points determining if an article is eligible or not. I see drafts being submitted but they are clearly not ready to be accepted and unfortunately I can't do anything at this time.

As a current pending changes reviewer, I would like to request the new page reviewer permission. I believe that I can review new pages, fact-check them, and help reduce creation vandalism. Z. Patterson (talk) 20:15, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Help out with the backlog. Well informed on content policies and guidelines.

Requesting NPR rights; Nearly 2700 total live edits. While I am familiar with AfC and article creation (three articles under my name, working on a fourth), I am admittedly not terribly familiar with AfD, PROD, or CSD. However, I am reading and re-reading these pages to familiarize myself. I believe I have a favorable history of interaction. I've been on Wikipedia for over a decade, and I have absorbed much, though I still have a significant amount to learn; that being said, I wish to become more active and more directly-involved. No behavioral blocks or 3RR violations. I commit to 'patrol' on a voluntary basis and to avoid conflicts of interest. Thank you for your time and consideration! MWFwiki (talk) 03:28, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for volunteering, MWFwiki. Looking at AfCstats, unless there's a mistake there, it doesn't look like you've reviewed any AfC articles? And as far as article creation goes, we're really looking for something more in the range of 25+ creations You don't have to do them all, but even from someone with your experience we need to see some prior experience in at least one of the areas mentioned under point 2 of WP:NPRCRITERIA before granting this right, sorry –  Not done for the bot.

Hello! I am requesting again for New Page Reviewer, although quite fast but I am a fast lerner. I just wanna have a trial here since I am helping sometimes in NewPagesFeed like maintenance tags like {{unreferenced}}, {{orphan}} and {{uncategorized}} or rarely i clean up the articles too, it just a minor helps. I am a AfC reviewer too since October 2024. I can multitasking on New Page and reviewing draft articles in afc. Although, I have a blocked here but it was a misunderstanding and false blocking so they unblock my account. I am participating on AfD and sometimes i nominate it, also on CSD too in NewPageFeed, if I see a just a spam, vandalism or a promotion of a article, i immediately add a csd. If you granted me, it will my pleasure. Thanks! Royiswariii Talk! 16:20, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I'd love to help out with the backlog. I have around ~40 AfD !votes, and I'm usually one of the first votes and always use strong guideline-backed reasoning. I've only had 1 AfD in the "red" cell of AfD Stats, that was a bio of a person from a non-English speaking country, and I tried to find sources in my WP:BEFORE, but nothing come up, and then another user more familiar with that country was able to dig something up so I withdrew (I don't think it should count as a black mark against me). I've also reviewed a lot of AfC submissions (a good amount of them sadly don't show in the AfC tool as they were later deleted, but there's still a decent chunk in there), and I almost always provide personalized advice backed with good reasoning when declining. You can find my CSD log here (n. 10, 100% success): User:MolecularPilot/CSD_Log, and I've also created 5 articles (see my user page), 4 of which are B class. Thanks for your time! :) MolecularPilot 🧪️✈️ 05:30, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Adding that I'm also very experienced in cleaning formatting, copy editing, wiki linking etc. as I often do that before accepting AfC submissions, and for evidence of criteria #3 about being kind to new users, I think I've helped a good amount of users understand policies/guidelines/reasons for AfC declines etc, a small subset of these can by verified on my user talk page and I'm also very active on the help IRC (admittedly less during the last week due to a personal event). I'm also knowledgable about copyvios, having cleaned a decent amount, informing users about our policy, answering any questions they sent to me and requesting revdel. I've also reviewed around 20 cases on CopyPatrol. Thanks again for your time :) MolecularPilot 🧪️✈️ 05:32, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

I've read and understood WP:RPC and will proceed slowly at first (that is, leave what I deem edge cases to someone else). JayCubby Talk 17:23, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

My next logical request for permission, one that I don't suppose I can utilize alongside Ultraviolet to stop the bad faith one-timers and vandals where I watch. Although, I must admit, I should simultaneously take care to not get into any content dispute I see; I'll do my best not to get into one this way. Thanks for considering (again). 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 01:40, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

P.S.: as a sure guarantee my use of rollback is done safely and without causing any significant issue, I'll use Mr. Stradivarius' ConfirmRollback. 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 01:45, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like rollback permissions to make fighting vandalism quicker and easier. I have been reverting vandalism for over 1 month and have experience with tools such as Twinkle and Ultraviolet. I would also like to be able to have access to Huggle to make my anti-vandalism experience easier. MouseCursor (talk) 13:46, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to be able to access rollback tools to fight vandalism more effectively, I am familiar with Wikipedia's rules. SparklingBlueMoon (talk) 17:17, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Dealing with a lot of vandalism lately. Undoing, warning and reporting. Hope that undoing could be made easier with Rollback rights. YBSOne (talk) 20:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, requesting rollback permission for my counter-vandalism efforts, as I would like to quickly remove obvious vandalism and to access helpful tools. I have been active in this area for several months here and even longer on dewiki. Therefore, I am familiar with the relevant guidelines and tools.

This permission will help me in combating vandalism. I’ve been actively patrolling recent changes, always warning users when necessary, assuming good faith, and taking full responsibility for all my edits. I also do crosswiki patrolling and recently joined the SWMT. — Jet Pilot (talk) 21:03, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

I am here to reapply for rollback permissions to assist in combating vandalism more efficiently. Over time, I have actively reverted vandalism using the "undo" tool and have familiarized myself with Wikipedia's policies, particularly vandalism and rollback.I fully understand that rollback should only be used for clear cases of vandalism, and I am committed to using the tool responsibly. My contributions reflect my dedication to maintaining Wikipedia's quality and integrity.If there are any concerns or further clarification needed regarding my request, please let me know. Thank you for considering my request.MP1999 ❯❯❯ Talk 11:03, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Can you accept my request? @ToBeFree MP1999 ❯❯❯ Talk 13:03, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
Please do not send multiple messages @MP1999, the people who manage the requests have lives and cannot necessarily respond directly, be patient. SparklingBlueMoon (talk) 17:06, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) @MP1999: I'd suggest waiting more than a day to ping an administrator. Permission requests are completed by administrators on a volunteer basis and can take up to a week or more to process. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 16:52, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to give Huggle and AntiVandal a try. Polygnotus (talk) 19:21, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I had been actively patrolling RC in 2023 but paused for a long time since I was too busy. I plan to resume soon and would like rollback rights to make it easier. However, I mostly edit on my school computer so I am unable to use any tools such as Huggle, RedWarn, etc. Thank you for considering my request.

Note from 07:07, 6 December 2024 (UTC): I had just been informed that RedWarn can be used on a school computer, so it's very likely that I will be using it. xRozuRozuteacups 23:57, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I am requesting access in order to enhance my ability to help protect Wikipedia from vandalism. This permission will grant me access to additional tools that will assist in maintaining the integrity of the platform. Hemlock :3 leave a message 03:09, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

That's a bit early, with even the "200 mainspace edits" criterion not being fulfilled at this time. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:14, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

I have been reverting vandalism by undoing edits, warning users, and monitoring several pages to keep them protected. Rollback rights would make my efforts faster and more efficient. I am familiar with WP:VANDAL. ZyphorianNexus (talk) 07:15, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
