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.

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.

Autopatrolled

edit

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 ([3]). 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)

I was granted a two month trial for this. Have created 100+ articles with 10K+ edits and will continue to do so. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 23:19, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

  Automated comment This user was granted temporary autopatrolled rights by Dr vulpes (expires 00:00, 15 July 2025 (UTC)). MusikBot talk 23:20, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
The sourcing provided here does not appear to meet WP:NORG, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". Can you provide sources that establish the notability of this organization? voorts (talk/contributions) 22:22, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
I agree some of the sourcing used is WP:CORPTRIV — the foundation has extensive coverage in Korea. I've just added some stronger pieces. The pre/post interview text in this Forbes feature is one with significant secondary coverage. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 05:24, 3 August 2025 (UTC)
  Not done NORG requires secondary coverage. Those are all primary news stories. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:55, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
I'm okay without the role, or a trial if possible, but can't WP:SECONDARY sources rely on primary sources for their material, making analytic or evaluative claims about them? Tech42 Donga demonstrate. I will admit this article is hard to find excellent secondary sources for because there just are so many about the organization. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 23:52, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts: The distinction between primary and secondary sources is sometimes debateable, but by the standards set out in WP:NORG, the news stories seem to fit -- that guideline explicitly says that an NYT article, a blog post and a Forbes profile would be considered secondary, while the text of a court filing would be primary. However, WP:ENDURING may apply regardless. UndercoverClassicist T·C 14:42, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
Doesn't WP:ENDURING apply to persons and events? This is also a major nonprofit with a decade of history, WP:NONPROFIT applies for this. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 00:58, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

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)

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)

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 masarap 🍛 04:21, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Comment: AdobongPogi, your article Popo (film) need to address this. Administrators will flag that and it might affect your request as autopatrolled. But i will Weak Support for this. ROY is WAR Talk! (Non-administrator comment) 08:22, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I've created a large number of My Little Pony and mathematics articles. I have over 6,700 edits and will continue to edit for as long as I can. I'm requesting autopatrol permissions so that the NPP backlog will be less cluttered with my articles. I believe I've demonstrated a solid understanding of the policies and guidelines with my articles, particularly with my coverage of various aspects of the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom. Thank you! GregariousMadness (talk to me!) 17:14, 3 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.

I have created 38 articles in the last year and a half, with 0 deletions. I have brought two of my most recent five creations to GA status. I am very careful to make sure every statement in my creations is properly sourced and I hope to help reduce the workload at NPP. OceanGunfish (talk) 19:44, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

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)

I am requesting autopatrolled rights to decrease NPP backlog. I have created 400+ articles, and have demonstrated knowledge of notability guidelines throughout 3 and a half years editing. I have not edited for about a month, but plan to get back into Wikipedia. Thank you for your consideration. Masohpotato (talk) 05:18, 21 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)

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)

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)

This user was discovered through the New Pages Feed. They are an editor who has learned a lot about good practices in creating articles and are consistent in working within the bounds of the notability guideline for species. The only mark against them is that many of these pages are created without a talk page. The vast majority are stubs, but that is to be expected for many of the subject species, and enough information is provided in most cases to allow for identification. -- Reconrabbit 13:46, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) User has created over 2k articles, but these articles are short, some are single-sentence, some are double, in a nutshell, they're too short for them to really be able to demonstrate that they could write up a full-fledge article without issues like copy vio or close paraphrasing–which requires an editor to write, say start article, or even stubs that are over 90% rating (10% remaining to become a start-class); this is just my analysis.

File mover

edit

I occasionally upload files, and would appreciate being able to remedy any errant titles on my own in the instances that a mis-spelling might occur. I do not intend to make overly-broad use of this right; rather plan to use it sparely to quickly-repair any such necessary issues as they might errantly occur. SecretName101 (talk) 09:22, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

@SecretName101: Have you made any other rename requests than this one? ~ Jenson (SilverLocust 💬) 05:52, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
Well, that's the only one I found. Seeing no correction,   Not done per lack of demonstrated need. (As the banner notes, "Successful applicants will usually have a measurable track record of making high quality rename requests".) I'd recommend (since you do otherwise have experience working in the file namespace) requesting after making at least 5 good rename requests. ~ Jenson (SilverLocust 💬) 04:28, 28 August 2025 (UTC)


Page mover

edit

I fight a lot of SPAM, UPE, and SOCKS which often leads me to move pages to draft space from main space. Having page mover will help me suppress the redirect and save admins time. I am not sure if this will help with accepting drafts which have a redirect title occupying the main space, but I have reviewed over 4,000 page at AfC so it would be helpful with that as well. CNMall41 (talk) 04:29, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

This would be useful for publishing drafts via round-robin swap rather than {{db-afc-move}} (and for draftification). However, WP:PMCRITERIA#4 isn't satisfied due to a 36hr EW pblock (not for 3RR).
~ Jenson (SilverLocust 💬) 17:42, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
@SilverLocust:, Thanks for the question. I did review and know there was a 3RR in the last six months and won't give my opinion on it other than it was correct on its face. Only block in my 11 years here and I took the last line of PMCRITERIA to mean you have the right to grant it despite, and also have the right to deny even if I met all those requirements. If you would prefer me to wait until that period has ended I can do so. Was just trying to help save others some time. Ether way, thanks for consideration. --CNMall41 (talk) 17:51, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
When seeking an exception, you should disclose that you don't meet the guidelines. (That you didn't disclose that, along with your uncertainty that this would help with accepting drafts, made me question whether you had read relevant parts of the page.) ~ Jenson (SilverLocust 💬) 18:00, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
You are correct. I should not have assumed that you would assume. Definitely was not hiding anything but I should have pointed it out since it was one of the criteria. That is 100% on me. The question I had about whether or not it would be relevant was to do with moves to the mainspace where a redirect already occupies the title. My understanding is that I would still need an administrator to delete that redirect so I can move. Is that correct? --CNMall41 (talk) 22:43, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
No, as I tried to explain in my first sentence, a page mover can swap a draft with a redirect. See, for example, Draft:Ben Mayes (cricketer)Draft:Ben Mayes (cricketer) (revision history), which was swapped with Ben Mayes (cricketer). ~ Jenson (SilverLocust 💬) 03:49, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
Well, I read it a few times and for some reason the wires in my brain are not lining up. I think it would be best to withdraw this request as I do not want a tool that I do not fully understand. For some reason I cannot even get my head around the example you provided. I apologize for wasting your time here. Maybe in the future it will click and I will be back. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:44, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
All right. I was still considering the request, depending on Inanvector not expressing objections.   Request withdrawn for the bot. ~ Jenson (SilverLocust 💬) 05:41, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
And I do appreciate that. I also hope there's no hard feelings for wasting your time. I just had to self-reflect on it a bit and realized I may not understand it as much as I initially thought. Nothing to do with the block. I wasn't happy about the whole circumstance surrounding it, but it is what it is and I would agree that it was a bright line block. I just think that it is better to not have a tool until I fully understand it. I'll likely be back. Cheers! --CNMall41 (talk) 08:22, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
I think I missed the window of usefulness for feedback here but since I was pinged, no I would not have concerns for pagemover regarding the pblock. The article was a clusterfuck, and anyway I don't really see the connection between the userright and an edit warring pblock anyway. I haven't taken the time to understand the IP viewer right (silly thing for a checkuser to say, I know) so I won't comment; it seems to have been separately requested and granted anyway. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:13, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
Not pinged but will reply about the IP viewer right. My understanding is that it really isn't a special privilege outside of what everyone has now. In September, Wikipedia will start masking IP addresses so the tool will just allow editors to see the IP address that is masked. So...........it basically just allows what everyone is able to do now but will be restricted for those who do not have the new permission starting in September. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:08, 27 August 2025 (UTC)


Pending changes reviewer

edit

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)


Rollback

edit

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)
