Reason: User:DDKay does not cite sources or references when undoing work of others. This user persists on actively not p[roviding commentary on decisions to reword/remove/undo work of others. Medium-high level of vandalism. KingdomNone91 (talk) 21:23, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

I did and he wants to ignore what I say. The top 200 on GNTM are semi-finalst. In germany they never call the casting round semi-final, because semi-final is the episode before final. He translate the german atricle literally into english, but that is the problem. The articles say only that they cast 100 men and 100 women for the first episode. They never said, that those big group is the final cast. They always call semi-finalist constetants or cast. That don't mean that those are the final cast. Here an example from season 7. There where chosen 50 girls for semi-final and where also called cast or constetants. https://www.bravo.de/germanys-next-topmodel-2012-das-sind-die-50-kandidatinnen-329333.html Those 50 girls where also not the final cast, only because of that. It was the top 25 who became final cast. It is also a wrong information to show the big list of 200 people as final cast and saying that they are the final cast, when even he don't know. So far it is only a list of 200 people. Prosieben webiste also show pics where some of the 200 people having casting numbers, which means the first episodes are castig episodes, where the 200 people will be reduce to the final cast. DDKay (talk) 21:33, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
This article relates to an old season and is not relevant to the current season. This request relates to the 20th season. Thanks. KingdomNone91 (talk) 21:35, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
It is relevant, because it shows how german article call the semi-finalst. And they call them the same way from 2012 to 2025. So it is clear that they don't mean or call the top 200 final cast. It is also said that the first episode will be casting round for the 100 women and the second episode will be casting round for the 100 men. DDKay (talk) 21:39, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
Another excample. This site say: "Sobald die Kandidatinnen für 2025 feststehen, werden sie hier bekannt gegeben." in english: "As soon as the candidates for 2025 have been determined, they will be announced here." Means the final cast is still not chosen. You can find it, when you scroll all the way down. Germany always use the words constetants or cast. No matter if it is still casting or final cast. Means: If they write "the 200 constentants", is not the meaning for final cast. DDKay (talk) 21:45, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
I also talked with him before and explained that at him. He told me, he is fine to mark the list as semi-finalst, but change it after that back to final-cast again and again. Seeing here, when scrolling all the way down: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:KingdomNone91 DDKay (talk) 21:36, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
This was due to sources citing the inclusion of a final 200 cast and not as semi-finalists. This article, [1]https://www.promipool.de/tv-film/gntm-2025-kandidaten-kandidatinnen-sendetermine-jury-alle-infos-zur-show, explains that several hundered applicants were invited to a casting, where then 200 were chosen to particpate. This is evident that the 200 are final and not semi-finalists. Regardless, the user continues to undo/revoke work without citing sources as per original request. KingdomNone91 (talk) 21:40, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
German is also my mother language and I read a lot of aticle. They never wrote anywhere that those 200 people are the final cast. They always wrote that the female models and male models have they own episodes in the start or call them constetants, which don't mean final cast. DDKay (talk) 21:49, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
This is not the point of this request. The point is not citing references instead you are surmising or making note of your own accord. This is not how Wikipedia operates. You are required to back up your decisions/notes with references of which you do not. This is the basis of this request to protect this page top stop the vandalism of which you are taking part in. Thanks. KingdomNone91 (talk) 21:54, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
I also read in this link. They never wrote that the final cast are those 200 people. It starts with the enumeration of the guest judges, than the theme song, then they wrote "Heidi Klum revealed in an Insta Live interview that several hundred models were cast for the 20th season. “We cast 100 men on the first day, 100 women on the second day - and we have mega guest judges,” said the international star with a grin. In a first trailer you can see some of the models. This year, too, there are no limits when it comes to gender, weight and height. The first of Heidi Klum's models were announced at the end of January." ---> there is nowhere the part where they say the 200 people are the final cast, only that they casted 200 people --> The ones for the first episodes, where they will be seen in TV. Also they only say that there are no limits of age and so on, also not an information about final cast. The last sentence means, that they came two poster. One with 12 men and one with 13 women and because of the poster we know a part of the final cast, which also don't mean that all 200 people are the final cast. Then they tell some names from the people from the poster. There is not any single word about "All 200 people are the final cast". This is just his interpretation of the the article, but not a true fact. Then that article say the dates for the episodes, where the live final will be and which winners GNTM already have. Also not a part where they say that all 200 people are the final cast. DDKay (talk) 22:00, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

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.

Declined for the second time and for the same reasons.-- Ponyobons mots 23:13, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Protecting admin is okay with this being revised per here. Full protection was deemed unnecessary due to the edit war stopping, so requesting semi-protection. BMWF (talk) 00:06, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Flagging that this editor is forum shopping as after the first admin (Daniel Case) declined to lift the ECP, they went to RPP for a review where a second admin (Pppery) also declined to adjust the PP, and then went to a third admin's (Isabelle Belato) talk page who also declined. The RfC that we're both involved in is still ongoing and the ECP stopped an edit war. Sariel Xilo (talk) 00:35, 4 February 2025 (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

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.


The user seems to make a lot of rollbacks without explanation in cases where the edit doesn't seem to be obvious vandalism. If they explain their rollback in the edit summary then it would have been fine. I wanted to ask the user to explain their reversion to my edit, but their user talk page is locked. 128.193.154.187 (talk) 23:30, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

That text doesn't really summarize what's in the body, nor does that one bit seem significant enough for lead; please get consensus on talk, per Schazjmd (talk · contribs) who reverted you before Modernist did. I would presume the same rationale applies since you reverted Schazjmd. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 02:06, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

[edit]

I've seen this editor's work on multiple occasions at New Page Review. Has created 208 pages, none deleted, more than 3/4 of them B-class. High-quality page creation with infoboxes, quality references with proper formatting, images, etc., requiring no cleanup by reviewers. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm concerned that many of the articles on lifeboat stations don't meet GNG. After looking at a random sampling of them, most of them cite the Lifeboat Enthusiasts Society (of which Martin states they are a member of on their talk page), which appears to be an WP:SPS, and The Lifeboat, a publication of the RNLI, which is not an independent source. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:15, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I would have thought the same thing when I first encountered these articles, but there are several independent published sources on these lifesaving stations. Whenever I've done a BEFORE search on one, I always find GNG-qualifying sourcing. This came up in an AfD for one of Ojsyork's creations last year (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bamburgh Castle Lifeboat Station), which resulted in a "keep". Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:21, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights I have created almost 50 articles and whilst producing these articles I have developed my understanding of wikipedia policies, conformed with the rules for biographies of living persons and have improved the content and formatting of numerous articles.

Could you please point to where the date of birth of Gautam Vig is referenced, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:14, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Schwede66, I hope you enjoyed your vacation. I have sourced the DOB in the early life section as per WP:INFOBOXREF. I followed the editing style of Geniac, the way he improved Sheezan Khan and tried adapting the same. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:48, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, I had a fab wee holiday. I don't understand your answer. I see that there is one ref in the infobox, and that reference does confirm the date of birth, but it is attached to the spouse only. Could you please explain what you mean, and how the referencing confirms the date of birth, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:59, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Schwede66 In the above mentioned article I have sourced the date of birth in the Early life section, see here. And the spouse's source is just about their marriage. I'm following the editing style of Geniac, the improvement he did in one of my previously created article see here. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 09:38, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Sorry, which reference states the date of Vig's date of birth? I cannot see it. Schwede66 18:29, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Schwede66, I have used two sources for DOB, Colors TV and India Today. You can find both the sources in the Early life section. Hope it helps, if you still can't verify the birth date, you're most welcome to remove it. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 18:50, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
@C1K98V Is it just me or the webpage you're linking to from colorstv.com is redirecting to a /mena/ directory making it impossible to see what you're talking about or citing. As for the indiatoday.in, you did not initially position the citation as of when Schwede66 started reviewing your request, you only repositioned the citation today. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi Vanderwaalforces, I'm not sure if the Colorstv website works outside of India. Let's wait for Schwede66 to confirm if they're able to verify it. I'm sharing a screenshot of the website for reference [2]. While searching for sources related to their academics, I found IndiaToday and added it later in the Early life section. I repositioned the named citation as I wanted to highlight it for Schwede66, so I left an edit summary too. Thanks for your consideration. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 03:43, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) I can access the colorstv source and confirm that it mentions Gautam Vig's date of birth. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

It is my 8th year of editing (4th with this account). I have written a number of articles of various types and none have been permanently deleted.

 Not done. User:Feralpearl, thanks for all your new articles, in general they look to be in decent shape. I'm not granting as I'm seeing too many instances of non-cited content, for instance on the date of death in Ann Harithas, and citations to ancentry.com, which is generally unreliable. You can highlight these unreliable sources to yourself using scripts such as User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/CiteHighlighter. Other very minor squabbles: per MOS:ORDER, external links need to come after references (Jeanette Vondersaar), you underlink your articles quite a bit, and leads of longer articles should be at least a few sentences long.
Feel free to apply yourself (including by leaving me a message on my talk page) when you've got another few articles under your belt: you're clearly on the right track! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 15:49, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Page mover

[edit]

I have been a regular contributor to both the Turkish and English Wikipedia for many years. Based on the experience I have gained throughout this period, I aim to make more high-quality and sustainable contributions. I am particularly interested in articles related to transportation and believe that these articles require regular monitoring. My primary objectives include updating incorrect or incomplete content, performing page moves when necessary, and ensuring that these articles comply with Wikipedia standards. In this context, I am requesting the "page mover" right to address content deficiencies and errors while also helping to reduce the workload of other administrators.

Rollback

[edit]

I am requesting rollback rights because I spend most of my time on Wikipedia reverting vandalism, and I would like to help fight vandals more effectively. I have made some mistakes, but I mostly have a good understanding of Wikipedia policies, and I try to always WP:AGF. Rollback will also allow me to use tools like AntiVandal. Thank you.

 Not done User:Vineyard93. I don't understand your request. You don't need rollback to revert fake information. If you encounter vandalism from IPs, you can warn the users. When they persist after sufficient warnings, you can report to WP:AIV. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:13, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I have been working on counter-vandalism with RedWarn for a while now. Despite my inconsistent and relatively low edit count compared to other requesters, I believe I would be a good fit. I approach CV with the idea that it is better to have somebody with malicious intentions get away with their behavior than it is to accuse an innocent person of Vandalism. I aim for high accuracy over total reverts. I have made mistakes in the past but I am usually quick to notice and fix them. The main reason I am requesting Rollback is to gain experience with the Huggle desktop application. Thank you for the consideration and I look forward to hearing back.

I would like to request rollback permission to help combat vandalism, particularly in Nepal-related articles, which I frequently come across while patrolling recent changes. Having rollback rights would allow me to efficiently revert obvious and disruptive edits, improving the quality of affected pages. I always assume good faith and am careful when reviewing edits. If I am uncertain whether an edit is vandalism, I do not revert it. I am also familiar with Wikipedia’s warning templates and know when it is appropriate to report persistent vandals to WP:AIV. I believe rollback will be a valuable tool in my efforts to maintain Wikipedia’s integrity, and I will use it responsibly. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I have been actively combating vandalism on Wikipedia for some time, especially Taiwan related articles. I regularly monitor recent changes and undo obvious vandalism while ensuring that good-faith edits are not mistakenly removed. Having rollback rights would allow me to revert vandalism more efficiently, especially on high-traffic pages. I am familiar with Wikipedia’s policies on vandalism, edit warring, and proper rollback usage, and I will use the tool responsibly to help maintain the integrity of the encyclopedia.

Hi, I would like to request rollback rights as I have been patrolling on Wikipedia for a while, finding vandals, and I would like to have the ability to use rollback to revert their edits more effectively (as I have had a couple where I had to undo lots of small edits and it took up lots of my time). Thanks, ScrabbleTiles (talk) 16:01, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

 Not done Hello User:ScrabbleTiles. Usually, we expect users to have at least 200 edits to mainspace. I would like to see you understand warnings a bit better for isntance before giving rollback. At User talk:OKTO on 6, you have a level-1 warning and only warning in rapid succession. Of course, a second warning can't be an only warning, so a level-2 warning would have been more appropriate (or none, as they may not have noticed the first warning immediately). In the meantime, you can already install WP:Twinkle to combat vandalism more effectively. You're on the right track, so feel free to come back in a few weeks when you've hit the threshold. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:13, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for that. I went straight to 4 because their edits were very disruptive and I didn’t see any constructive edit coming from them but in the future, I will be more forgiving. I will request again once I have reached the threshold. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 19:17, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

I've been involved in combatting low-intensity disruption and vandalism for a while. I've recently encountered an increased level of sustained socks, LTAs, and contentious topic disruption. Having rollback would be just another tool in the toolkit, as I've enjoyed the luxury of Twinkle for a couple years. An even more streamlined approach to combatting disruption is always nice, though. ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:03, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm requesting rollback to help me revert vandalism better. I've been using Twinkle for a while now, but in a few cases the proper rollback toll would have been more useful. I think I only revert blatant vandalism, as I prefer accuracy over volume. Mainly, it would be another tool in the kit. LightlySeared (talk) 10:04, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Template editor

[edit]

I request that I be given a right as a template editor, to edit templates protected. Am sure my edits will be pleasant to everyone, I have a strong password as required. I promise to respect the guidelines on editing templates. You can revew templates I my self have created here... – Raph Williams65 (talkcontribs) 13:28, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

 Not done, you haven't met the guidelines for granting or demonstrated a need for this permission. The format in which you requested this also does not give me confidence that you will use the necessary level of care in, for example, checking a page's instructions (documentation in the case of a template) before editing. If there is a template you are unable to edit, please just use an edit request for now. SilverLocust 💬 13:46, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

I have been working on creating and expanding articles related to baseball and softball teams, mainly from Latin America and Europe. Since these articles heavily rely on Module:Sports color, which is protected, to properly display team colors in infoboxes and other tables, I would like to request the rights to edit this protected module. I have requested several edits to this specific module in the past; however, I believe it would be more efficient if I could make these edits myself.

In the past, I have created and worked on different modules and templates related to other topics that interest me, such as public transportation and other sports (e.g., Module:Adjacent stations/Mexico City Metro, Module:Adjacent stations/Prague Metro, Template:Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional, Template:Hiroshima Toyo Carp managers). If administrators would consider it appropriate, I am also open to a temporary grant of editing rights to continue improving these articles.

Thanks in advance. Cocu15 (talk) 22:59, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
