Current requests for reduction in protection level

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

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.

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights

Hi, I would like to request this right because I have met the criteria for 25 articles that are free of problems. I would like to use it for my interest in WikiProject Korea. You can see all of articles i've created here! :) Aidillia(talk) 07:08, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) In Buried Hearts, there's a bit of mess with the history, seeing that it was first deleted but later recreated and then expanded, this time, with copyright violations which remained not until GreenLipstickLesbian fixed and requested a revision deletion today. Checking through some other creations revealed some issues like grammar errors. Things like these are what the NPP is for, and English Wikipedia is not ready to keep copyvios on the site, not ever.
It also appears to be that Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin had copyvio issues, which GLL fixed too. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:04, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Well, I don't know if translating from a website is forbidden, because a few months ago, there was someone who reverted my edit because of no reliable sources for the description I wrote myself. So after that, what was included in the sources I used. Many people I see do that. And now I know I'm trying to remove it as much as possible and do some fixing. Aidillia(talk) 11:30, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Meets the minimum criteria, and the majority of their creations have passed a quality content review. It's been a little bit since the last creation, but I believe this editor has demonstrated enough familiarity with the policies and guidelines surrounding new articles that input from NPP will not be needed in the future. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 22:25, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Cmacauley has been an editor since 2007, meets all the required criteria, and would likely benefit from having the AP right granted. This editor currently has 59 live articles and has only had one article deleted. They have consistently produced well-referenced, high-quality articles, with the majority receiving B-class ratings. Wikipedialuva (talk) 05:07, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

I've been around for some time, am quite familiar with tough conversations at the Teahouse or IRC (though I've sadly been inactive at the latter for a while) with new editors excitedly pushing their (often promotional) new articles, and do occasionally write new articles, 53 so far. I might as well not clutter the new pages queue. — Anon423 (talk) 01:51, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

 Not done Wikipedia editing is not a race. I'm not willing to grant access to AWB to someone who has set themselves a goal of making 30,000+ edits by the end of 2025 as you said on a different permission request - that seems like a very clear recipe for the use of automated tools without sufficient care. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:01, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

 Not done Fails minimum criteria. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:01, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights.

I have used AWB before and found it practical to correct spelling errors. I think I then used it only (mainly?) on Swedish Wikipedia and that is what I plan to do in the future as well. And I think I will use it primarily on such misspellings that are common in the swedish language. In that case the AWB tool is much more handy than doing it with no help at all.

Thanks in advance. Matanb (talk) 13:20, 8 January 2025 (UTC) Matanb (talk) 13:20, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

There are no outstanding requests for the confirmed flag.

Confirmed

Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

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. Since the removal, I have added attribution to the concerned articles. I have made over 600 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.

Examples of Recent Contributions: Foucault pendulum, Water metering, Smart meter, and Gas meter. My recent edits also contributed significantly to upgrading the article History of the Jews in Tunisia from "Start-Class" to "B-Class." Michael Boutboul (talk) 12:28, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for extended confirmed declined in the past 90 days ([2]) and has had this permission revoked in the past 180 days ([3]). MusikBot talk 12:30, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
Boutboul, are you using AI (such as ChatGPT or similar tools) to write your talk page messages and permission requests? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi @ToBeFree,
I use ChatGPT from time to time to translate sentences or correct English syntax, as English is not my mother tongue. I also used an LLM to translate French Wikicode into English Wikicode; it’s much faster than doing it manually.
Have you had the opportunity to check some of my edits? They are far from perfect, but I really try to follow Wikipedia standards (Verifiability, No Original Research, Follow Style Guidelines, etc.). I’m genuinely puzzled—I don’t understand why they are not considered valuable enough to regain my extended confirmed rights. I’ve been a Wikipedia member since 2006, with more than 900 edits in English and over 1,500 edits in total.
Thanks for your time and interest. Michael Boutboul (talk) 10:08, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
From their last post to their talk, @Boutboul seems interested in CT areas. I have concerns about the EC request given other issues raised on their Talk. Courtesy ping @ScottishFinnishRadish who removed initially. Star Mississippi 17:39, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
They're also continuing to translate from French Wikipedia without proper attribution, e.g. here. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:51, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
I properly attributed the translation by adding the template to the main page. However, a bot moved it to the talk page. I even explained this in a discussion topic on the talk page. Translation is not prohibited; in fact, it is encouraged by Wikipedia. Michael Boutboul (talk) 20:27, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
(b) Place the {{Translated page}} template on the target article's talk page, for example: emphasis mine. Nor did you attribute it in the edit summary as required: Add a statement to the edit summary of the target article of your translation providing translation attribution to the authors of the source article, including an interlanguage link to the source (translated-from) article. Example: This continued misunderstanding plus the LLM usage does not inspire confidence that they're ready to have E/C restored. They're welcome to edit in other areas but I explicitly do not think they're ready for CTs. Star Mississippi 20:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Firstly, I am not sure why you are using the plural for me. I am the only one making all the edits, and my pronoun is 'he'.
Secondly, I have attributed the text to a French translation in several edit summaries, for example, here and here. I may have forgotten some instances. However, if I am not mistaken, there is no rule stating that an editor must make no mistakes when editing to regain Extended Confirmed Rights. Furthermore, the quality of the translation is sufficient, as other editors appreciated it and upgraded the article from Start-Class to B-Class.
In addition, using an LLM for translation, syntax correction, or any other purpose is not forbidden.
It therefore seems that a decision not to reassign the Extended Confirmed rights would be arbitrary. Michael Boutboul (talk) 10:24, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Using third-person gender-neutral pronouns is pretty common and normal online. I have a question for you Michael out of interest. If you acquire the EC privilege, will you use it to advocate on behalf of any of the parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict, thus violating WP:NOTADVOCATE and the part of the Wikimedia Universal Code of Conduct that prohibits "Systematically manipulating content to favour specific interpretations of facts or points of view"? The reason I ask is that using extended confirmed privileges that way is puzzlingly common in the WP:PIA topic area, and I wondered whether you have considered these constraints. Sean.hoyland (talk) 10:36, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
@Sean.hoyland, Thank you for your constructive message. I believe that we all interact, on all sorts of topics, with our biases; we all have biases. I also believe that the beauty of Wikipedia lies in collectively building reliable content, based on discussions grounded in valid sources, despite everyone's individual biases. This is the mindset in which I wish to use my Extended Confirmed Rights. Michael Boutboul (talk) 11:38, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Is there something preventing you from simply stating that you will not (consciously anyway) advocate on behalf of any of the parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict? Is it an unrealistic expectation given the nature of the topic area? That is what I would have done by the way, provided assurance that I'm not a potential disruption vector in a contentious topic area. And then try to make a case for restoration of EC rights on that basis. Of course, if you did that, you would probably the first editor in Wikipedia's history to do so. Feel free to ignore my questions by the way. I'm just interested in things that might help to depolarize the topic area, like explicit commitments to not advocate on behalf of parties to the conflict (although I'm aware that the adversarial nature of the topic area might, under certain circumstances, help to increase the quality of content). Sean.hoyland (talk) 11:26, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Like any contributor on Wikipedia, I respect the platform's core principles, rules, and best practices to the best of my knowledge. Specifically, I strive to avoid advocating for any side and ensure that both my contributions and those of others align with the principle of neutrality of point of view (NPOV).
Since you raise the topic, I believe the best way to depolarize a contentious area is to acknowledge that every party involved inherently has its own biases.
Anyway, your concern is far from that of ScottishFinnishRadish and Star Mississippi. Michael Boutboul (talk) 18:30, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
@Star Mississippi, have you reviewed my edits? Could you please clearly explain your concerns? No one has provided a clear explanation for refusing to reassess my extended confirmed rights. Additionally, @ScottishFinnishRadish made an incorrect statement regarding proper attribution for translations. Michael Boutboul (talk) 20:40, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting extended confirmed rights Hello! A few weeks ago my extended-confirmed protection was removed for breaking WP:PGAME, I sincerely apologize for this, I was impatient and I had no knowledge of the rules existence at the time.

Hello! I would like to request the ability to be able to translate pages from Spanish to English and English to Spanish. I overwrote almost an entire page about some Smashing Pumpkins demo tapes, and I wanted to translate it into English as well since there was only one page and it was in Spanish. However I don't have 500 edits, and I can't seem to achieve it. I made a Wikipedia account to edit and share my knowledge with other SP fans who speak Spanish and are looking for more, updated info, as I'm fluent in both. Therefore I'd like to request this ability because I want to devote my time to translating on Wikipedia. I have three drafts so far and would really like to publish them. Thanks!

Thank you for your interest in this permission and your past work. Unfortunately, upon reviewing your last trial run, there were a number of examples of pages where you accepted a page that would later be deleted, as well as cases where obvious COI/UPE was not flagged.

I would like to help out with the NPP backlog drive. I believe I fit all the minimum guidelines; I have a good knowledge of Wikipedia's guidelines and policies and sufficient experience with quality control processes, as I engage with the deletion process, especially PROD and CSD, whenever possible and I help out WikiProjects by writing new articles.

I would very much like to remain a New Page Patroller, please, and to have the three-month period extended indefinitely. I greatly enjoy this aspect of being a Wikipedia editor, and believe that I have made a very positive contribution. In the three months since my NPP rights were last discussed, I have marked as reviewed several hundred pages, some of which I had to edit quite a bit to get them into appropriate shape and others which were created so well that they were really good without me having to do much or anything. I have of course reflected a lot on how best to go about this important task, and to minimize my errors and weak judgements. I am far more cautious than before, and consequently I have actually marked as reviewed far fewer pages per week than I did before. Indeed, when patrolling new pages, I often edit pages for hours each day without marking any at all as reviewed. I am demanding a higher standard in my own mind than hitherto. This does not mean that I have not made mistakes over the last few months. I am human and have made errors. I do not believe there have been many, however, and I consider my efforts to be reliable and trustworthy, but I am disappointed in myself for making any mistakes at all. The key here is that I try hard always to learn from them and not to repeat them. I am neither proud nor disputatious, and I try to treat all fellow editors with respect and pleasantness if they highlight any issue, and I do try to absorb and begin using any and all guidance that I receive. I respectfully ask my fellow editors to see that any errors over the last three months have been very few, and that by percentage of the pages I have edited or marked as reviewed, the errors are a tiny percent, thus establishing me as dependable and trustworthy. I have gratefully received several barnstars for my patrolling throughout this period. I repeat that I regret getting anything wrong at all and aim for zero errors. I am committed to this standard.

(Non-administrator comment) After the ANI thread that caused BTKCD's right to be revoked, I raised concerns and Barkeep49 found them reasonable to give BTKCD a three-month trial reinstatement. I mentioned that during this time, I'd personally watch BTKCD's reviews myself. I am proud to say that he has improved especially based on the feedback he received back then. He used tags appropriately, responded to talk page messages, etc. These are things I'd personally love to see in NPPers. I am supporting the permanence of his NPP right.

I fit the basic criteria and I think I could make a contribution here. I have a fairly good idea of my limitations and will deal with them by passing on the more difficult new page decisions.

Dear Wikipedia Administrators,

I kindly request the "New Page Reviewer" permission. I was previously granted "Autopatrolled" status based on my contributions as a writer and editor, and the granting administrator encouraged me to consider applying for this role.

I now feel prepared to take on the responsibilities of reviewing new pages alongside my current duties as an "Autopatrolled" user, particularly in my areas of expertise: Iran, the Persian language, and the Persianate world. I am committed to upholding Wikipedia’s standards and collaborating with fellow editors to maintain the quality of new articles.

Thank you for considering my request.

Hello, I want to be a new page reviewer because I work hard to share information to the public and make it easier for more people to find information about a topics that there are interested in and hide the things that are incorrect or just aren't true, and help the truth to be showed first when you search it, abd help for the truth will always show up first.

Thank you for your contributions and your interest in this permission. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing quite enough experience with the relevant guidelines and policies. In particular, you have not participated in any deletion process, you had an article WP:A7 speedy deleted just a few months ago at Serbian dancing lady, and several of your recent article creations fail to demonstrate a strong understanding of how to identify RS for creating an article and properly format references. Please build up more experience in these areas before reapplying.  Not done for now. signed, Rosguill talk 20:29, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
Requests for page mover

Page mover

Have participated in handful of RMs in past year, as well as at MRV. I've only come to RMTR once, but otherwise would be useful for disambiguation purposes. As I often create the disambig first, in order to justify a page moving away from ptopic; this often leaves me with having to swap the disambig page with the redirect and visa versa afterwards, when I simply need to perform a swap. I've otherwise closed RMs before, and would probably close more that aren't too controversial, but am often restricted due to the need to overwrite a redirect. CNC (talk) 12:54, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Leaning towards no, mainly on account of a lack of demonstrated need, but willing to be overruled or persuaded otherwise. Primefac (talk) 19:23, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
As an example; I'd be able to close this RM if there is no consensus, as I did the previous that lacked consensus, but I wouldn't be able to if there was consensus. The one I closed had sat in the backlog for almost two months. CNC (talk) 19:35, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

I previously completed many XFD discussions as a non-admin which resulted in the use of this user right for round robin deletions, and have shown good use of it before. I understand it’s been a while since I’ve been back, so wondering if this can be restored as I intend to complete this work again. Steven Crossin Help resolve disputes! 18:12, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

With over 500 edits and several articles created, I have made steady progress, and at my current editing rate, I project to reach 30,000+ edits by the end of 2025. The Pending Changes Reviewer privilege would provide me an opportunity to my broaden efforts against page vandalism and ensure accurate, stable, and reliable content.

It works in tandem with reverting vandalism and it can be a good alternative for tackling possible vandalism or content that's not appropriate for Wikipedia. I'm already familiar with vandalism policy and handling inappropriate edits as I'm a rollbacker. Additionally, I'm very familiar with Wikipedia's content policy, given that I've been editing for around 5 years now. JurassicClassic767 (talk | contribs) 21:47, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback

I would like to request rollback rights to combat vandalism more efficiently. I am an experienced recent changes patroller and I understand that the rollback should be used mainly for clear cases of vandalism. I am committed to using this tool responsibly. Nxcrypto Message 12:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi NXcrypto, please undo Special:Diff/1265567139 and respond to Worldbruce's concern. It doesn't look like the worst kind of edit warring I've ever seen, but Worldbruce was concerned about it without being involved in the reverting, so you should probably take a moment to address their concerns instead of throwing them away. The edit summary of Special:Diff/1265564114 indicates that their primary concern is you not (yet?) using the article's talk page. If that's true, perhaps change it or announce that you are not longer interested and disengage from the conflict. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:13, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

I edit mostly in academic philosophy and closely adjacent areas. Twinkle is adequate for the vandalism that I encounter in articles on my watchlist. I read Wikipedia more broadly, however, and might be more active in assisting with general anti-vandalism efforts with the help of tools such as Huggle that make this easier to do, but which require rollback privileges to use (this would be the case especially if any of them make it easier to do in a responsible way on a tablet, rather than at the desktop I use for regular editing). I've been bitten as a newbie, and am alert lest I do this to anyone else. Wikipedia's coverage of the humanities is, to put it generously, uneven. On the few occasions I've encountered someone new with obvious subject-matter expertise who is making problematic, but good-faith edits, I have made a deliberate effort to welcome them, offer information, and protect them from more aggressive defenders of guidelines and policies (who might turn them off Wikipedia before they even have a chance to learn the basics, which are in some ways quite at odds with academic norms). This is just to say that I will, of course, use manual reverts with edit descriptions and talk pages, rather than rollback or anything requiring it, except in cases of blatant vandalism or persistent abuse by editors who disregard clear and polite notices of issues with their edits. Thank you for your consideration, Patrick (talk) 03:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Patrick Welsh, thank you very much for requesting this permission, and for the calm, thoughtful request.
