Sukerchakia Misl

[edit]

Reason: I am requesting page protection for the Sukerchakia Misl page due to ongoing disruptive edits by User:Truthfindervert and their associated sock accounts and IP addresses. A review of the page's history will reveal the extent of these disruptions. I am concerned that Truthfindervert will continue to vandalize the page, and therefore, I kindly request that protective measures be implemented to prevent further disruptive editsJisshu (talk) 17:54, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
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.

City Line (Merseytravel)

[edit]

Reason: Move protection was never really needed because there is no history of bad moves. Unprotection is needed because the page should be (uncontroversially) moved to match the sentence case of the other Merseyrail/Merseytravel and also to follow how Transport for London underground and overground lines are named. 10mmsocket (talk) 11:10, 16 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
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.

User:Jacketpocket

[edit]

Dear Wikipedia admins, at User:Pbritti's kind suggestion I'm requesting autopatrol rights to help reduce the NPP backlog a little. I've been a Wikipedia editor for almost 20 years, and although dormant most of that time, have been involved in the WikiProject Plants stub-to-start drive for most of this year and have also created around 40 new Start-quality articles for species in the Aquilegia genus (plus a couple of related articles) in that time. Jacketpocket (talk) 17:32, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

User:Royalesignature

[edit]

I respectfully request autopatrol and patrol rights, based on my extensive experience and contributions to Wikipedia. With over 12 months of experience, I've created 60+ articles and improved 100+ others. Granting my request will streamline the New Page Patrol process. I previously requested these rights last month, which was denied. Since then, I've improved my contributions. I believe my dedication and improvement warrant reconsideration. Thank you for considering my request. Royalesignature (talk). 03:08, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

User:2003 LN6

[edit]

I am requesting autopatrolled rights mainly to streamline article creation so that my new articles would be reviewed faster. I have written around 40 articles, mostly about ants, and I would like to get this right to get the articles reviewed faster and reduce workload for new page patrollers. I have been an editor for four years, and my recent new articles have had no issues whatsoever from the reviewers. I will use this right responsibly, and it will be my pleasure to continue assisting my community in updating old articles and creating new content. 2003 LN6 06:52, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

@2003 LN6 Just to clarify, having autopatrolled means your articles wouldn't be reviewed, not that they would get reviewed faster. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 14:58, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for the clarification. Reducing workload on the NPPs and to not have to wait for my article to get reviewed are my top priorities, so this would help greatly. 2003 LN6 15:14, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I am re-requesting AWB perms. It was last denied because I had shown zero need for it but this time, I think I do have a reason.

I had recently created Niagara (electoral district) and Middlesex North from a (redirect) to a Disambiguation page, and it has links. I would like to use AWB to update the links, and make it point to the right pages. I'm thinking there could be more "redirect-to-disambigaution" pages that would need updating links.

User:Boutboul

[edit]

Reason for Request: I am requesting reinstatement of Extended Confirmed Rights after their removal by User:ScottishFinnishRadish for concerns related to "gaming EC through adding a machine translation of Fondation Maeght and Rueil-Malmaison in many small edits without attribution." He asked me to "make at least a few hundred edits" to regain it. I understand the importance of maintaining trust and adhering to Wikipedia’s policies, and I’ve since reflected on how to better contribute responsibly.

Since the removal, I have added attribution to the concerned articles. I have made over 300 referenced contributions, focusing on adding reliable sources to improve verifiability, expanding content in alignment with Wikipedia’s standards, and enhancing article quality.

I believe my recent contributions demonstrate constructive and policy-compliant editing.

Dear Administrators,

I am User:SaifFullah, an active contributor to the English Wikimedia projects. I am requesting the **extended confirmed rights** to further improve my ability to contribute constructively.

I have demonstrated consistent participation through meaningful edits, content creation, and adherence to Wikimedia policies. Gaining this permission would allow me to engage in areas requiring extended access, such as editing semi-protected pages and contributing to ongoing discussions without restrictions.

Thank you for considering my request. I am committed to maintaining the quality and integrity of Wikimedia content.

Sincerely, SaifFullah

Noting that someone has privately expressed concerns about this user as an AfC reviewer / NPP. I'm not personally up for a deep dive at the moment, but I wanted to mention it so that the processing admin can make sure to be thorough with a review.

I know Wiki to be an open space, except confidential, I believe concerns about my AFC review/NPP should be publicly expressed. You might as well attach links here if possible. Tesleemah (talk) 05:42, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
Private communications are allowed. I simply made a note to encourage a thorough review before granting, based on some feedback I received. If I had time to investigate myself I would have, but I wanted to respond because it popped up on my watch list. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:56, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
Having encountered this editor at AfD, I checked out her page reviewing. A cursory check shows some problematic reviews:
All could have been draftified or nominated for deletion since sources present did not support notability. I'll leave further assessment to others but I do think these raise questions about judgment on sourcing and notability. Not saying this is a reason not to extend the perm, but it might call for some New Page Review coaching. Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:13, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

My previous thought was that all new articles can be reviewed while I add tags where neccesary. Although these are not enough as excuses but I can assure I have been doing better and improving if you check my recent NPP. I'm open to coaching if anyone is willing to do that while I pay closer attention to the discord page. This has been helping these few days! Tesleemah (talk) 20:57, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

My rights as new page reviewer are set to expire next week as I was granted them for only two months (link). I'd like to participate in next month's backlog reduction drive and believe I've done decent work in patrolling the new pages feed, though I have been overly cautious at times.

I would love to help reduce the massive backlog of unreviewed articles. Although I do not currently have NPP rights, I frequently go through the New Page Feed, to view unreviewed articles and enhance them if/where possible before they are reviewed. I have experience creating articles, participating in Articles for Deletion discussions, and I am familiar with Wikipedia's core content policies, including notability, neutrality, and reliable sourcing.

Would like to participate in the upcoming drive and reduce the backlog. Though my AfD contribs might not be that great, I have done 43 AfC reviews. I know that it has not been long since my last decline, I originally thought of waiting a bit longer before requesting again. But I would really love to participate in the drive. I would be thankful if an admin would at least grant me a trial till the drive's end (i.e. 1st Feb). Thanks! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:14, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

[edit]
The January backlog drive seems interesting and I need something to do over Christmas break/beyond. I applied for a month-long trial a while back, but was having some mental health issues and just didn't use the tools or even re-apply. My AfC log is relatively lengthy over a period of 3 months. A note about my AfD stats, they are inaccurate. For some reason, when changing my name from "Sir MemeGod" to "EF5", XTools bugged out and only shows random AfDs I've filed/commented on (hence the 90-or-so "no vote detected" ones).

I'm short of 3,000 edits requirement (currently at 2,400). I request page-moving rights as I'm encountering problems when reviewing new pages. Specifically, I face issues leaving redirects to (bad) pages I move to the draft space. Page-moving rights would help prevent redirects from being flagged for speedy deletion.

 Automated comment This user has 2377 total edits. — MusikBot talk 13:30, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
@Anuwrites: If you use the MoveToDraft script, it will automatically tag the move redirect for deletion, at which point it takes little work for an admin to check and delete the redirect (with no additional work for you). The script will also show a warning if you try draftifying an article within an hour of its last edit despite WP:NPPHOUR, as happened in this move yesterday. And it will leave a notification on the talk page of the article's creator, which you should be doing as explained at WP:DRAFTNOTIFY. Based on that, there isn't sufficient cause to make an exception to the guidelines for granting, plus your draftifications could still do with checking.  Not done. SilverLocust 💬 16:15, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
@SilverLocust Thank you for simplying the process for me, seems like I didn't need the right at this time, I installed the "MoveToDraft script" and it has done awesome on Draft:Hiroshi Suzuki (ambassador) page. This is all that I wanted, CIAO. ANUwrites 22:47, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Have close to 1,100 edits as of making this request. I enjoy improving articles, I review recent changes daily by this point and am familiar with reverting vandalism (and distinguishing it from good faith edits).

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.

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. xRozuRozu • teacups 23:57, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I have been reverting vandalism since I created my account. Although it appears I am a new user, I also have experience editing Wikipedia and reverting vandalism as an IP for many years (which I will not be disclosing due to security concerns). The rollback right will help me revert vandalism faster, which is why I am requesting it. PersonAccount 🐉 (talk) 20:08, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

PersonAccount, to be honest, no, it doesn't appear you are a new user. Which is okay if all previous activity was without having an account and without disruption. It will take longer than for other users until the trust for manually granting permissions is there in your case. It isn't yet, to me. Unless someone else grants rollback in the next week or so, I'll decline this with a recommendation not to ask for permissions until your account is a year old. Regarding rollback in particular, Twinkle and Ultraviolet will do just fine. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:11, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

User:Jayhawker6

[edit]

I am finally starting to have a WP:CLUE, though I still deserve a good whack to the face with some WP:TROUT more often than I would like. While redwarn/UV is nice, it is not very fast to load diffs in the browser the way that I do at the moment (it is surprisingly resource intensive), and I think Huggle would help quite a bit along with reducing mistakes made as diffs would be clearer with less lag and more efficient resource usage. I have made mistakes, and will continue to make mistakes, but I find myself leaving more and more diffs untouched now that I realize more often when I don't have a WP:CLUE. Any advice is welcome, and advice on if I should still be using RedWarn or if there is some reason I should switch to UV would be welcome as well.  【💬】 04:16, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done You have only used rollback 4 times. Applicants generally need to have a history of patrolling Special:RecentChanges for at least a month; I looked at the other wikis that you have edits on and didn't see any use of undo there either, so am reluctant to grant this at this time.
