- This just looks like a real name. Secretlondon (talk) 14:05, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
Not a blatant violation of the username policy. It's not an exact match of Bob Katter. Bob/Robert is a common name, and the last name is different. If you believe it's really the Bob Katter, that's a matter for WP:COIN. 331dot (talk) 15:51, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- @331dot The reason why I posted this is because Katter's grandfather is Carlyle Assad Khittar, and Katter is sorta in the news at the moment for a spat with a journalist talking about his Lebanese heritage, including his aforementioned grandfather.

Reason: Repeated re-insertion of non-RS controversial content from anonymous IPs that have only contributed negative content on articles about Muslims. Pingnova (talk) 19:44, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 08:39, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
Pending changes: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 00:11, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Curbon7 (talk) 06:39, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism by IPs after protection expired. Epicion (talk) 03:23, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
- Government attacks on journalists in the United States (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: Article includes content related to Trump and attacks on journalists during his terms, as well as his role in attacks. Request for extended-confirmed-protected status or semi-protected status. Alexandraaaacs1989 (talk) 04:34, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
Temporary extended-confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing. WP:SEMI user deciding to change the image disruptively to a file subject to deletion and the same file that caused its semi-protection. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 07:36, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content. Waxworker (talk) 09:13, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Already had two periods of protection but the vandal keeps coming back. Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 09:22, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Semi-protection: This article only recently came off semi-protection and has started attracting IP vandalism like before (due to the surname). Can a much longer period of protection be issued this time please? The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 10:16, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
editBefore 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: Almost 14 years have past since protection has been imposed on this page. Since Mayer isn't really a relevant person anymore, vandalism might be no longer much of a risk. Giovanni Potage (talk) 22:04, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
Automated comment: @Giovanni Potage: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 22:15, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- Pinging protecting admin @Reaper Eternal. Entranced98 (talk) 23:11, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- PCP didn't exist back then, so maybe this is a good candidate for downgrading to PCP. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:18, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
editPlease 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.

Requests for autopatrolled |

Autopatrollededit
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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 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)
Especially in last few months has created a large number of quality articles. Clearly notable people; academic papers written about each one. I've GA reviewed two of their articles, really good work. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 18:33, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Requests for AutoWikiBrowser access |

AutoWikiBrowseredit
Most of my edits are fixing typos, cleaning up citations improving short descriptions and fixing bare URLs. I also spend time watching recent changes and reverting vandalism. Having AWB will help me make these small, routine edits faster and more consistent. I will always check my edits before saving and use the tool responsibly. Thank you. 🐍 Thilio🤖 04:41, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights: patrolling new pages Cssiitcic (talk) 22:52, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
I am requesting access to AutoWikiBrowser in order to assist with routine maintenance tasks. Having this tool will hopefully enable me to work more efficiently, reduce manual workload, and ensure consistency in edits. After reading the guide, I believe I am now familiar with relevant policies and will use the tool responsibly, restricting its use to appropriate tasks. Thank you.

New page revieweredit
My NPPR is going to expire soon and would like to renew it, likely to permanent. I know this is early, but I have some major exams next week and won't edit much (and when I do, I probably will forget about this). Really sorry. Thanks, Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 08:41, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
I’m requesting the new page reviewer rights to help contribute to the backlog and assist in reviewing new pages. Chippla ✍️ - Best Regards 22:03, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
I didn't realize the right was going to run out, I'd like to keep helping out and the drive this (next) month. Moritoriko (talk) 07:19, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
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)
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 would like to request NPR rights to participate in the upcoming September 2025 drive. I want to help reduce the backlog. Thanks! EarthDude (wanna talk?) 09:39, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights: I'm eager, yes eager to participate in the upcoming September backlog drive. Oh-Fortuna! (talk) 20:26, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
I'd like to participate in the September NPP backlog drive. I've been an AFC reviewer for a few months now, and I'm confident that I can effectively communicate with new users, as I am a mentor for new users and answer questions at the Teahouse. Thanks for your consideration. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 04:35, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

Pending changes revieweredit
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. I believe having the rights to approve such edits would allow me to contribute more effectively to the encyclopedia. I am also keen to make use of the pending changes queue to help review edits. Abhinav Walker (talk) 07:59, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
I do not intend to go hunting for pending changes, but understand the requirements and procedure (I also habitually double check policies and guidelines) and on the occasion of stumbling across pending changes in need of review, I'd be in a position to do so :)

Requests for rollback |
---|
Rollbackedit
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 made many mainspace edits and have started using the "Twinkle" feature regularly since my last request about two months ago. Feel more confident in this request. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 05:50, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I have read about Wikipedia:Rollback. I have understood many things. There are many vandalism activities that are done every day. I want to fight against vandalism and monitor every movement. I will try to do my best for everything. Thank you JohnDavies9612 (talk) 12:23, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
Been doing a bit of anti-vandalism work in my spare time and I want to try out AV. Thx ✦GLORPK4✦ | 📡 03:57, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
Will use it for fighting obvious vandalism in the recent changes. My account is old enough and I have made significant amounts of edits, I know the rules and policies of Wikipedia. - Rht bd (talk) 14:42, 25 August 2025 (UTC) Rht bd (talk) 14:42, 25 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)
