The Rainbow Fish

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Requestion one month of semi-protection since differing WP:SPA IP editors appear to be pushing a POV and not discussing on talk page. Iljhgtn (talk) 22:30, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Just two such edits in the last couple of days. Daniel Case (talk) 00:21, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
Would 1 week protection be possible then? They appear to be WP:SPA accounts which are not otherwise engaging. Iljhgtn (talk) 00:56, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Transgender health care misinformation

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – LTA sock disruption on CTOP. Request Arbitration Enforcement under WP:CT/GG to prevent further disruption. Raladic (talk) 02:06, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Intel

Reason: I request an admin designate this CTOP under AP. The current editing borders on edit war. I don't think there is 3RR or I would put this there. Recent events have brought the article under AP as evidenced by the recent large uptick in editing and reverts. Current version I think is not in accordance with talk page and WP:LEADFOLLOWS but given that I already believe this is AP I will not give second revert within 24 hours. Czarking0 (talk) 03:41, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – LTA repeatedly recreating this draft. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) 04:37, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Ammar Siamwalla

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing by IP hopper who appears to be WP:NOTHERE and intent only on disruptively removing content, tendentiously making up a different false reason each time with no basis in policy. Paul_012 (talk) 05:33, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:CT/SA. Trying this again. Children Will Listen (🐄 talk, 🫘 contribs) 05:36, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 05:38, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Hantamah bint Hashim

Reason: High level of vandalism; it currently needs massive cleanup based on authoritative sources, so it shouldn't be locked in its present state (semi-protected may be more appropriate), but there are continual sectarian battles over this article claiming that the mother of Umar bin al-Khattab, one of the holiest figures in Sunni Islam but reviled in Shia Islam, is the product of father-daughter incest without references. There are also changes regarding the spelling of her patronymic and father's name, and that needs references and to be locked once that's put into place. 173.68.11.191 (talk) 05:40, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Sanjay Kak

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – For at least 6 years, since August 2019, an editor using various IPs has been vandalizing this article with juvenile jokes based on the subject's name. Almost all of the edits to this page during those 6 years have been this editor vandalizing the page and other editors reverting the vandalism. The page has been protected in the past but the vandalism has always resumed after the protection expired. I see only 2 IP edits during the last 6 years which are not vandalism, and those were simply reverting instances of vandalism by other IPs. CodeTalker (talk) 05:52, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Shortcuts

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

Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
Shortcut

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

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.

User:Yoblyblob

Requested this permission ~2 months ago, denied because I was mostly creating auto-notable stubs. I think I have expanded the types of articles I create, including well-sourced local pages or biographical entries where I take time to source subjects that do not inherently meet a generic notability criteria. (I still do create auto-notable pages sometimes, but those no longer make up the majority of pages I create.) As a new page reviewer, I got good experience with the notability guidelines reviewing articles during the backlog drive WP:MAY25, and also participating in AfD. Thought about requesting again as I have run into a few of my own pages while reviewing pages that are in topics I contribute to/am interested in. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Also wanted to mention that if I am unsure of a subject's notability, I will utilize WP:AFC for my own articles occasionally Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:18, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([1]). — MusikBot talk 02:20, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
Came here to request this permission for a different user, but since Yoblyblob is referencing their WP:MAY25 NPP work, it is worth noting that among the re-reviews of each patroller's work, 14/17 of their patrol decisions were approved. Of the remainder, two were drafted/redirected as WP:TOOSOON coverage of 2026 state elections and one was drafted for lacking enough coverage to qualify under WP:NEVENT. Considering they were the fifth most active patroller of the drive, this accuracy is good, not great. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 19:20, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
Yeah, I took note of that during the drive. I may have tried to do too much too soon into being granted the permission, but would like to think I take a lot more care now during reviews. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 01:23, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

User:Luxtaythe2nd

I have created more than 25 non redirect articles within the past few weeks and 53 non redirects overall. The two mainspace ones that have been deleted were by my own request, thanks to a slip of the "Publish changes" button. Aside from those, all have been approved by the adminteam. I would greatly be thankful to receive this permission. Luxtaythe2nd (Talk to me...) 17:56, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

Why is citypopulation.de a reliable source? voorts (talk/contributions) 00:03, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
Pinging @Luxtaythe2nd. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:09, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Cites its sources all well and proper, and has a full catalogue of references here. They cite the Tuvalu Central Statistics Division for this matter, which conducts a Population and Housing Census once per decade (most recent one being on 12 Dec. 2022, which is the exact date referenced on the website). Additionally, the whole website is organized by a professor of geoinformatics who is clearly a subject matter expert, Thomas Brinkhoff (this is his profile on ResearchGate and on Google Scholar and on the website of an institute he works for). If I could, I would have cited data directly from the CSD, but they do not make their tables for individual settlements available in their data library, rather just the reports. But, citypopulation.de is far more than close enough. Luxtaythe2nd (Talk to me...) 08:03, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
You appear to have translated Ski jumping hills in Gdańsk from pl:Skocznie narciarskie w Gdańsku without providing proper attribution in the edit history. Please repair the attribution issue following the instructions at WP:RIA. Please go through other articles that you have translated from any other wiki and repair the attribution for those as well. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:22, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Luxtaythe2nd. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:22, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Of coruse. I've fixed it and two others as well (adding the translated page template on the talk page). I usually attribute translated articles, but I can be forgetful at times. Luxtaythe2nd (Talk to me...) 18:00, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Talk page attribution is insufficient. You need to make a dummy edit for the article history per the instructions at WP:RIA. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:19, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
Alright. Luxtaythe2nd (Talk to me...) 10:15, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

User:Shahnamk

Hello,

I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I have created around 30 well-sourced, policy-compliant articles on the English Wikipedia.

In addition to my contributions here, I am an administrator (sysop) on the Persian Wikipedia (fa.wikipedia), where I have been active for many years, focusing on content creation, vandalism control, and community support.

Granting this right would help reduce the workload of new page patrollers, as my article creations usually meet Wikipedia’s quality standards.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Best regards, Shahnamk (talk) 19:08, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Per WP:NONENG, "English-language sources are preferred over non-English ones when they are available and of equal quality and relevance". For In the Mesh, did you search for English-language sources? voorts (talk/contributions) 00:10, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
Also, it appears that you translated the article from fa:چرخدنده (کتاب) without attribution, which is required per Help:Translation#Licensing. Could you please repair the attribution for that article and any others that you translated from fa-wiki without attribution? voorts (talk/contributions) 00:15, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
Pinging @Shahnamk. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:09, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Hello voorts, thank you very much for your careful review and constructive feedback.
Regarding WP:NONENG and the article In the Mesh:
You are absolutely right. I did rely on Persian-language sources since those were the ones I found most comprehensive at the time. However, I will now re-check for reliable English-language sources. If I find equally good English sources, I will integrate them into the article to ensure compliance with WP:NONENG.
Regarding attribution for translations (e.g., Gear (book)):
Thank you for pointing this out. I should indeed have provided the proper attribution when translating from fa-wiki. I will promptly fix this by adding the required attribution to the article’s talk page (per Help:Translation#Licensing). I will also review my other translated articles and repair the attribution wherever it is missing.
I appreciate your guidance, and I will make sure my future contributions are fully compliant with sourcing and licensing requirements.
Best regards, Shahnam K (Talk) 11:18, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

1. Attribution fixes: Added the required attribution on the talk page of *Gear (book)* (and will continue to do so for any other articles translated from fa-wiki).
2. Sources: For *In the Mesh*, I reviewed the sources again and included available reliable English-language sources in compliance with WP:NONENG.
3. Future compliance: I will make sure that all future translations contain proper attribution and that, whenever possible, English-language reliable sources are prioritized.
I truly appreciate your careful review and guidance. Hopefully, these corrections demonstrate my commitment to following Wikipedia’s policies and ensuring that my future article creations reduce, rather than add to, the workload of new page patrollers.
Best regards, Shahnam K (Talk) 11:20, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Shahnamk: you didn't properly attribute. You must add attribution to the page history following the instructions linked to. Also, did you use an LLM to help generate your response to me here? voorts (talk/contributions) 15:18, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

User:AdobongPogi

As a part of Wikipedia: Tambayan Philippines and the Music Task Force, I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I have created over 25 articles, most of which are currently live and have been built with careful attention to WP:N, WP:V, and reliable sourcing. And also I understand that the autopatrolled right is meant to ease the workload of new page reviewrs by automatically marking new pages from trusted users as reviewed. Thank you!

@AdobongPogi: Why is filmkrant.nl a reliable source? voorts (talk/contributions) 01:09, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Hello @Voorts, since the Dutch online film magazine Filmkrant has been publishing since 1981 and is run by experienced film critics. I'm using this source because in the article I created on Richard Raaphorst (who directed the film Popo) is also cited there, see #17 source. I also submitted that article for a GA nomination, which was promoted yesterday. AdobongPogi masarap 🍛 22:34, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

I have created more than 25 articles, over several years. I learnt over time to understand the notability criteria well. My new pages do not require attention from patrollers. Only one page I created is marked as deleted (it was recreated under a slightly different name). I have overall over 1000 edits. Thank you for the consideration. Queenofboston (talk) 12:24, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

@Queenofboston: Thank you for your contributions. Spot-checking one of your creations at random, Michelle Meagher, indicated direct copying from a source (report) and non-neutral prose ("Meagher was confronted with a crisis of consciousness", also closely paraphrased from the source). I'll leave a message on your talk page with more information about copyright considerations on Wikipedia, and I would recommend reading about the encyclopedic tone that should be used in articles. For these reasons, I don't think autopatrolled would be appropriate for you at the moment. Please let me know if you have any questions. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:13, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
@TechnoSquirrel69 the article you singled out for copyright issues was published in 2024. The Michelle Meagher Wikipedia entry was created by me in 2023 with the contested phrase in it. So the 2024 article copied the 2023 Wikipedia page not the other way round. I did not infringe any copyright of the 2024 article as it did not exist at the time of the page creation. Queenofboston (talk) 18:02, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
I'm not seeing a date on the Green European Journal page, although it was only archived in the Wayback Machine in 2024. Even leaving that aside, though, there remain the issues of neutrality and close paraphrasing.
I looked at another one of your creations for more information. Your most recent one, Aline Blankertz, has statements without citations, and doesn't demonstrate the subject's notability — the existing sources are either primary sources, like interviews or podcast appearances, or don't have significant coverage of the subject. However, I will note that I found no copyright-related issues here. I maintain that it would be beneficial for your creations to get a once-over from new pages patrol. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:52, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
The information you flagged as missing citation was contained in the sources cited immediately prior, I now double-cite them in the two instances you flagged.
I am not saying that my pages cannot be improved but my pages bring additions to Wikipedia. I focus on women as it is an objective of Wikipedia to re-balance the coverage away from a bias favoring pages of men Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, I believe this is valuable contribution. There are profiles of Aline Blankertz in leading German media outlets, only one source is a podcast and it is produced by an established German media outlet, that is a valid source in my understanding, it is not a podcast produced by the subject. None of the sources in that article are authored by the subject of the article. My pages do not have copyrights issues, as now clarified. I use some sources in foreign languages but it is not the policy of Wikipedia to disregard or downgrade sources that are in foreign languages for purposes of notability. Queenofboston (talk) 09:13, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
@Queenofboston: why is Cecilia Rikap notable? voorts (talk/contributions) 01:19, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Rikap has reliable substantial coverage independent from the subject, for example profile in El Pais, the leading Spanish news outlet, she also published three books. Queenofboston (talk) 18:01, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Queenofboston: The El Pais article is mostly an interview, with maybe a paragraph of independent analysis. Being an author can indicate that a subject may be notable under WP:NAUTHOR, but it's not clear to me that that applies in this case. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:22, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
Also, why is Nai Lee Kalema notable? voorts (talk/contributions) 01:20, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
The page as I set it up was modified by another editor that added sources that were not independent from the subject and deleted sources I have identified and listed. Other editors reversed parts of the page and I now added back some of the deleted references. There is coverage by external sources, 12 references are now listed on the page. I understand that Nai Lee Kalema is not a clear-cut case in terms of notability, in part my objective is to support a Wikipedia initiative to reduce the imbalance between pages dedicated to men compared to pages dedicated to women, which bias also exists in external coverage. Queenofboston (talk) 18:29, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
I see the article has now been nominated for deletion. I tend to agree with the nom there. I don't believe that you have a sufficient grasp of the notability guidelines to warrant granting autopatrolled.  Not done. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:25, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

User:MallardTV

I have, in my time on Wikipedia, created numerous new articles. I do admit that a decent number of them have been species articles, but I make sure that they are all expanded from a stub if possible. I have waited for a while to request this, and I do think that it is finally time. MallardTV Talk to me! 15:42, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

{{not done}} As you note, you mostly create species articles. Autopatrolled is used to decrease the NPP workload, and species articles are easy to review. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:27, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

Ah, that makes sense! MallardTV Talk to me! 02:17, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
User:voorts: I don't think this is a policy-based reason to decline a request. NPP is always overburdened, so even a small reduction of effort can be worth it. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 06:53, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
I've seen other admins decline on these grounds. NPP even lists species articlds on an easy review page and they're often dealt with quickly. voorts (talk/contributions) 14:38, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
I've seen it before as an additional reason to soften the 'blow' of a decline, but I don't remember seeing a decline on this ground alone before. I still don't believe there is a reason in policy to decline here (I've not yet checked their creations). If I do check and don't find MallardTV meets the requirements, would you be okay with me granting AP? —Femke 🐦 (talk) 14:56, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Yes. I'll withdraw my not done. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:12, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
 Not done MallardTV. Having had a closer look, I don't think it's quite the time quite yet. I notice that, while I found no uncited text in your last 15 creations, multiple 2025 articles have uncited content: Bremen Tower, Freeman's Mill, Double comparative. Furthermore, when you use non-English sources, it's usually best to add a translated title (not a requirement for AP however, articles don't have to be perfect). I'm quite strict as to close paraphrasing, but I feel you've not paraphrased enough from the original source in Manning Gin Farm (from a public ___domain source??). Keep up the good work with the species articles, and sorry to mess you around. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 17:51, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

After a few months break, I have decided to become active on the English Wikipedia once more. In this new period of activity, I look forward to creating new articles of high quality. As a New page patroller myself, I know how much of a backlog there is. Since I have created a considerable amount of clean articles in the past (mostly related to history, geography and entomology), and am hoping to make many more in the future, I am requesting the Autopatrolled right to slightly ease the work of patrollers such as myself. Thank you! UserMemer (chat) Tribs 21:44, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

User:Greenleader(2)

I have created 46 pages currently, and in my more recent Wikipedia editing experience have focused largely on creating high quality and well sourced pages on politicians who automatically pass WP:NPOL, as well as having created pages on political parties, figures, and elections that clearly meet other or general notability guidelines. Having this permission would therefore help free up the workload of new page reviewers. Greenleader(2) (talk) 14:28, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

 Not done Politicians who pass NPOL are easy to review and don't clog up the backlog much. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:37, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Greenleader(2) voorts (talk/contributions) 01:43, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
The majority of my articles do not pass WP:NPOL, I was just commenting that the bulk of more recent ones do. Also this perception that they are quick to review is simply not true - and some of these articles have taken a while to be reviewed, and I have others that don't automatically pass that have taken much longer to be reviewed. The majority of my articles have not automatically passed WP:NPOL and rely on general notability or other criteria - I find it disappointing that this has not been engaged with. I am a major supporter of women in red, and want to be able to help more with this, and I have frequently contributed to AfD discussions with a strong understanding of the policies and guidelines. If there is any justification for not granting this permission other than simply the fact it is allegedly very quick to review some NPOL pages (in spite of the fact this has not always been true in my experience), I would be grateful for further feedback because otherwise I am extremely unclear on what more I can do to earn autopatrol permissions, even on a trial or temporary basis. Greenleader(2) (talk) 10:07, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
To clarify I've realised actually due to creating a lot recently, to correct the record a slight majority of my pages created now do fall under WP:NPOL, but there are at least 20 or so that do not. I also have a lot of drafts (not on Wikipedia yet) that do not fall under NPOL either (for various elections, political parties, and Women in Red pages) and I am very well versed on the notability guidelines so would be grateful for a temporary period to have these permissions and alleviate the load on the new page log. If this is not granted, once again I'd be very grateful for feedback and advice in order to understand the main areas for improvement and learning. Greenleader(2) (talk) 10:23, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
As stated in a similar case above, I don't think this was a policy-based argument to decline. I've looked at 4 articles, and found a problem with two, FUTURO, where some of the text seemed uncited. Which source supports the 13% vote share? Similarly, Else-Merete Ross doesn't contain a citation for the personal life section. I'd be happy to reassess in a couple of months when articles are consistently fully cited. Feel free to ping me. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 10:31, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for this feedback, really appreciate it, especially as this is my first time going through this process. The referenced sources for Merete-Ross do contain that information so I will ensure the citation formatting fully reflects this, and with FUTURO while the vote and seat result is in the sources, the percentage is only cited and sourced in the linked Wiki election page, so I must have forgotten to add the relevant source on this detail to the FUTURO page too. I will fix these promptly, thank you for drawing my attention to these issues. Very grateful for the advice, I will be even more careful in ensuring everything is consistently fully cited going forwards, and will hopefully have a strong track record to show when I reapply here in the future!

I am returning to request full rights after the three-month trial period expired. During the trial period, I encountered no issues and successfully created many articles to contribute to Women in Red/Missing articles by nationality/Myanmar. Hteiktinhein (talk) 07:53, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

@Hteiktinhein: I notice that you routinely cite YouTube videos. Why is this source from Kyaukthittar Pagoda reliable? voorts (talk/contributions) 01:41, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts Thank you very much for your response. You asked whether the YT reference is reliable. I would say 'yes', because it is a documentary-style storytelling piece from Myanmar Celebrity Media, which is considered Myanmar's largest entertainment media outlet after the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état. Before the coup, they operated a website channel, but now they only operate a YouTube video channel. After the coup, around 90% of entertainment media outlets were shut down, leaving only a few video-based entertainment news sources and other media only focus on the war and political news. I used this video version as a source for Wikipedia because it comes from a verified major media outlet. According to WP:YOUTUBE-EL, "If the source would normally be considered reliable (e.g., a segment from a well-known television news show, or an official video channel from a major publisher), then a copy of the source on YouTube is still considered reliable." Therefore, I sometimes use YouTube sources when needed. Best regards. Hteiktinhein (talk) 04:34, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Do they have editorial standards? An "entertainment" outlet is quite different from news media. voorts (talk/contributions) 04:40, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I don't think their current website maintains editorial standards... When I checked, the remaining site did not mention any editor's name and only posted event and celebrity photos with very brief descriptions, without detailed news coverage. It seems the current version of their website is mostly for show and not suitable to use as a source for Wikipedia. If someone used it, sure I will remove. However, on their YouTube channel, they provide more detailed reporting and include the interviewer's name in the hashtags. Therefore, I think their place-documentary programs, where they interview or trace origin with local historians or highly venerated monks, are acceptable to use. Hteiktinhein (talk) 05:30, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Since I don't speak/read Burmese, I can't really independently evaluate whether I find the source credible, and I can't really easily research if they had editorial standards in the past. I'll let another admin evaluate your request. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:14, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Anyway, thank you very much for your question and concerns @Voorts. I always welcome feedback or comments from senior editors, and I am eager to learn from others. Please correct me if I am wrong. I really do not want to use YouTube as a source; I only turn to it when there is no other choice (Myanmar is now a low-resource media environment, and it is difficult to find website-based reports bcs all gone [2], [3]). My Wiki mentor once told me that YouTube could be used as a source if the channel is verified and has a media license under the Myanmar government. After learning this, I began to cite videos from YouTube only when they came from licensed media.
If media license–holder outlets that report on notable Burmese celebrities are not considered reliable sources, I am happy to agree with that. I have used YouTube sources in only a few of the articles I created (especially on temple or pagoda topics), and if this is still unclear, I am willing to remove or replace them with other references.
I believe MC (Myanmar Celebrity) is one of the most popular celebrity and entertainment news outlets in Myanmar under license, although its website is now low in editorial standards and seems focused mostly on monetization and viewership (some reports on cele may gossip). The second most popular online outlet is Stun Magazine. To give a sense of MC's influence in Myanmar, as Burmese saying goes: “Someone can become a celebrity if Myanmar Celebrity features them.” Thank you again for reviewing my request. Hteiktinhein (talk) 17:47, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
The issue is that celebrity/gossip outlets tend not to be particularly reliable. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:58, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
I partly agree. Sometimes they report on celebrity conflicts, which feels more like gossip, but most of their reports are focused on celebrity life and news. They also have multiple programs such as travel, documentary, food reviews, daily life, and program of "forgotten celebrities". Some of these are actually very good reports.
For ordinary lifestyle interviews with celebrities, I don't think those should be used as sources because I know they are not independent. But for other local news reports, I think we can consider using them for Wikipedia. In my view, the reliability of such MC sources should be decided on a case-by-case basis at each article's talk page. How do you think? Hteiktinhein (talk) 18:08, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts As of now, MC is a questionable source, and the reliability of that outlet still we cannot be decided. Therefore, removing it is better now, and I have replaced it with another source on Kyaukthittar Pagoda. You can verify again, and if you have any concerns about this, kindly ping me. Thank you. Hteiktinhein (talk) 18:25, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Hteiktinhein Have you used that or similar sources in other articles? voorts (talk/contributions) 18:46, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I think I used MC only for this article. I’m checking my temple articles, and if I find any, I will replace them. If you notice any, please ping me. Cheers. Hteiktinhein (talk) 18:51, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I have cleared MC sources from the article. I only found two in my contributions. In the future, I will not use MC since the reliability of that media is not clear at this time. However, if someone else uses it, I think it is best to discuss on the talk page and decide on a case-by-case basis. If you don’t have any further concerns, please review my request again. If there are concerns, I cannot follow up right now...it's already midnight here i now prepare to sleep but I will respond in the morning. Thank you. Hteiktinhein (talk) 19:18, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Hteiktinhein: have you used similar gossip/celebrity news sites in any other articles you've written, not just articles about temples. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:35, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
No, there are no more. I checked all my articles quickly with XTools and also cleaned the Media Queen source, the same as MC. Now I believe I have removed all celebrity news channel references from my articles. You can check as well, and if I missed anything, please ping me here. @Voorts Hteiktinhein (talk) 20:02, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Femke. Thanks for pointing that out. Our upcoming capacity-building workshops will begin from October 2025 and will specifically cover core policies like WP:Notability, reliable sources, and verifiability. We’re also involving more experienced editors and trainers who will help review drafts and mentor newer contributors, so participants get hands-on practice and guidance to avoid common mistakes. De-Invincible (talk) 08:15, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
Great initiative! Is there an end date? With your limited experience on enwiki I won't be granting this permission permanently. Which other experienced editors are participating?
I'm slightly worried that your experience around notability is not quite there yet to be teaching this, given your history of deleted articles. Your more recent creations have a much lower deletion rate than older creations, but one of your last 10 articles still got deleted. Have you received the 'train the trainer' training after this? Or is there other evidence you now understand notability well enough, like participation in AfD? —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:28, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
Yes, it is part of our 6 monthly activities. Thank you for the feedback and for raising these concerns. I’d like to clarify that the deletion of some of my earlier articles was not because I lacked an understanding of notability, but rather because I initially limited myself to citing only English-language sources. This sometimes made the subjects appear less notable than they actually were.
More recently, through discussions in the Wikimedia General chat Telegram group, I learned that reliable sources in other languages can and should be used on English Wikipedia. As Asaf Bartov (one of the admins) explained: “there is no such restriction. English-language sources are naturally preferred on English Wikipedia, for ease of citation and for ease of reference for our readers to look up and verify, but certainly not at the expense of the latest verifiable factual information, so where reputable sources exist in languages other than English that complement or improve what can be established via English-language sources alone, one is encouraged to make use of them.”
Since then, I have applied this understanding in my recent editing and mentoring work, which has resulted in a much lower deletion rate. This has strengthened my confidence that I now have a solid grasp of notability requirements and reliable sourcing standards. De-Invincible (talk) 10:15, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
Right know, I am planning on working again on those deleted articles because I believe with the addition of sources from other languages, it would make the admins understand that the topics really deserve to stay on the Wikipedia. De-Invincible (talk) 10:19, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
 Not done Having reviewed your recent work on Ismaila Ahmed Gadaka, I'm concerned you do not fully grasp WP:BLP, as many of the statements failed verification to their sources. As you seek to train others in verifiability, that does not give me enough confidence. As a minor point: adding a reference is never a WP:minor edit. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 10:57, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Cactusisme, could you please comment and reflect on your checkuser block from June 2024-January 2025? While technically speaking you've cleared the prerequisite of having a clean block log for the past six months, I will say that it's rather unusual to be able to regain the community's trust enough for advanced permissions following a checkuser block in such a short timespan. Courtesy ping to admins that have been involved, Sohom Datta, Spicy, PhilKnight signed, Rosguill talk 14:18, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
For what it's worth, I found Cactusisme's track record post their block to be pretty good (which led me to grant the right) and saw the grant of RB and PCR as a recognition of the fact that the communities confidence in Cactus was on the path towards restoration. Sohom (talk) 14:50, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
Yes, I was blocked for sock puppetry from June 2024 to Jan 2025.when I first started editing Wikipedia, I thought it was just a sandbox where you can do anything in. However, soon after the block, I decided to read up more Wp policies which resulted in me gaining more knowledge of the purpose of Wikipedia. Since the block, I have been contributing and learning in Simple EN Wiki, where I hold patroller (patrol and autopatrol) and rollbacker perms. After appealing my block here, I was granted an unblock by PhilKnight after consultation with Spicy (the full discussion can be seen in my archives). Over the months after my block, I have contributed to creating redirects for new users as well as helping people. I have also been focussed on reverting vandalism (therefore I got rollbacker and PCR). Thanks, Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 22:44, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
Reviewing User talk:Cactusisme/Archive 1, which includes the successful unblock request as well as prior unsuccessful ones, I am leaning against conferring further advanced permissions at this time. For one, none of your explanations acknowledge the apparent issue that led to the block, which per Spicy was that your reaction to a minor conflict with other editors is to create multiple attack accounts. Noting that NPP can be a relatively stressful and confrontational area of work, I don't feel comfortable conferring this permission. The indefinite blocks on other projects (including one ostensibly for not realizing which language bug.wiki is written in when contributing there?) further do not inspire confidence that you will be approaching this with sufficient care. signed, Rosguill talk 15:30, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

User:Butlerblog

I had been invited to apply back in 2023. At the time, I did apply but then withdrew the request before it was reviewed simply because I did not have the time to put into it. I'm circling back around to it now. I'm familiar with article standards having gotten an article to GA status, and having done article assessment (participating in an assessment backlog drive last year). I'm also teachable when it comes to new things. ButlerBlog (talk) 20:07, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

 Done asilvering (talk) 03:52, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

User:11wallisb

Hi! Before I continue I'll preface by saying this request isn't for permanent NPP. I am a probationary AfC reviewer since Aug 4, am currently enrolled at NPP/S and I also pass the WP:NPPCRITERIA (though point 2 is always ongoing for learning!).
I've admittedly made some mistakes this month. I am willing to answer any questions about my conduct on Wikipedia.
I didn't plan on requesting NPP until being reviewed at AfC after 3 months, completing NPP/S and then waiting another month just to be sure I was ready (my timeline would place that at December or January next year). I would really like to participate in the NPP backlog drive as this will provide the opportunity for an incredibly intense practical experience at NPP! Would it be possible to receive NPP for only the duration of the drive? I understand if I'm not yet qualified enough for this, and will happily carry on conducting reviews at AfC during the backlog if so. Cheers! 11WB (talk) 20:48, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

I am really not 100% confident in this request. I feel it's necessary to provide some links to some discussions of things I've been involved in this month, these highlight some of the mistakes I've made. I'm also acting on the advice I received from Utopes. I appreciate this a lot, thank you!
AfC talk page discussion - Aug 29 (Got some really helpful information here, this was really appreciated, thank you!)
Potential AfC acceptance made too early - Aug 28 (Currently at AfD.)
Bludgeoning at AfD - Aug 23 (This was an accident. Resolved.)
Admin disapproval of AfC acceptance - Aug 16 (Sergecross73 disapproved of my acceptance of this article. I spent the next few days working with the authors to copyedit the article to make it acceptable for mainspace. Sergecross approved of this - Aug 19.)
Gave incorrect information at AfD - Aug 13 (This was an error I made and later corrected which was part of a much larger, now resolved, situation.)
There are a few others which are minor compared to those. I posted this because it would feel wrong not to disclose them. These have all been valuable learning experiences and I aim to continue improving. Participating in the NPP backlog would also help me focus a bit more, as I feel I've tried to run before I can walk this month. (I'm very hard on myself, but on WP I feel the obligation to hold myself to the highest possible standard.) Thank you! 11WB (talk) 22:15, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
 Done You've got the perm until the end of the backlog drive, at which point you can reassess. By the way, it's entirely correct to accept drafts at AfC if they have some prose issues. Your acceptance of that article was correct - the error was redraftifying it. Stand up for yourself. asilvering (talk) 03:56, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for this, @Asilvering! I am really surprised by this! I did have a few positive things I could've said above, however I was worried it come across as potentially bragging (something I dislike a lot), so I avoided doing that. I feel that the examples I provided, which were mistakes, actually show how I approach those types of situations as opportunities to learn. Pinging @Sergecross73 and @Zippybonzo (there are a few others too) for educating and improving how I do things at AfC! I am really looking forward to the backlog, my hope is the number can get to as close to zero as possible! 11WB (talk) 04:04, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Congrats! You're too hard on yourself. You deserve this. Sergecross73 msg me 04:15, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Thanks! The drive will give me a chance to really focus! Hoping the number can be reduced to sub 1000! 11WB (talk) 07:35, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Sorry for not replying to your message on my TP but nevertheless congratulations, don't beat yourself up too much, holding yourself to a high standard is good but you can inevitably end up dogging on yourself unnecessarily and it stops being beneficial — I'll move forward with finishing your NPPS training sometime today/tomorrow :) Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 17:45, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Zippybonzo! I forgot to reply here, my bad! I'm currently getting to grips with NPP and even though there are some gaps in my knowledge (I avoid reviewing those ones), I think this is something I'll be able to do quite well. I definitely need to make finishing NPP/S a priority, as I know we're both signed up for the backlog, which will no doubt divide our attention! Thank you for your encouragement and I hope that we both do well in the drive! 11WB (talk) 03:53, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I've been doing recent changes patrolling for a while, and for multiple times I've encountered with constructive pending edits that I couldn't have approved. I believe rights to approve constructive pending edits would help me further contribute the encyclopedia. I'm also eager to use pending changes list to review pending changes. —Krsnaquli || Contact - 16:06, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I have been patrolling recent changes for some time, and on several occasions I have come across constructive pending edits that I was unable to approve.

Requests for rollback

Rollback

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.

User:Thilio

Reasons why I am requesting rollback rights: Some registered editors or some IP editors know what they are doing is wrong, but they are still doing it adding wrong information about BLPs, changing names or birth years, months or days from right to wrong, and adding nonsensical contents just to hurt Wikipedia. I am against all of that. I'm requesting rollback rights because I am fighting vandalism and I won't stop not now not ever. The rollback tool will help me fight vandalism with confidence because some editors know what they are doing is 100% wrong (vandalism) but they just keep adding and adding. With the rollback tool rights, I can undo that in the blink of an eye. I understand that rollback is only for obvious vandalism or disruptive edits and not for content disputes. I will make sure I use the tool responsibly in accordance with Wikipedia policies. Thanks in advance. 🐍 Thilio🤖 13:21, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

I have been growing very active on Wikipedia, and it it becoming something of a daily routine for me to view, edit, and create pages. Having the permission to protect pages and rollback vandalism would be awesome for me, as I continue to grow as a Wikipedia editor. I have made over 200 edits, as well as having accumulated more than 200k views on pages i've created/edited. Yours truly, Kenzie! <3 (talk) 15:10, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
