Current requests for increase in protection level[edit]

Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Sock network tagetted pages[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Extensive target of a chronic sock/IP hopping network (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PakistanHistorian; a mid-term semi is needed for these. Gotitbro (talk) 13:39, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

  • Note, the recent range these pages have been targetted from include 92.40.0.0/16 which already partially banned, it should be increased to a complete block at least for the time being. Gotitbro (talk) 13:49, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protected indefinitely.: Punjabis and Punjabi Muslims, both logged at WP:GS/CASTE
Semi-protected indefinitely.: Punjabi languages and dialects, logged at CTOPS.
Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.: Punjabi language, logged at CTOPS.
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection.: The three dialect articles, which aren't edited much and where disruption happens months apart.
I am also not blocking that /16 range sitewide. It gets a lot of use and there would be IMO too much collateral damage. Daniel Case (talk) 03:26, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Nahal[edit]

Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Per WP:PIA, all of the recent edits have been by non ECP editors Wiiformii (talk) 01:29, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Editing is very light and I'm not seeing much in the form of disruption. PIA permits protection but I'm not seeing this as a high-risk article. If that changes, come back. Ad Orientem (talk) 02:46, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Masjid al-Qiblatayn, Zeila[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent POV vandalism/edit-warring by IP(s) since 24 June ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]). Or if it's possible to block these IP ranges instead, please do so; whatever works. R Prazeres (talk) 01:36, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Ad Orientem (talk) 02:50, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

List of all-time NBA win–loss records[edit]

Reason: IP editor is disrupting the formatting of the list and reverting my edits, without leaving an edit summary. Assuming good faith of course and was drafting a talk page discussion on it, but in the middle of that, this IP reverted edits again. Soulbust (talk) 01:46, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Noticed these edits have been made from at least 2 different IPs, but I believe it is the same editor given the edits. Unsure though. Soulbust (talk) 01:49, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Consider discussing concerns with the IPs and if necessary, going to WP:ANI. Ad Orientem (talk) 02:55, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Liberalism in Israel[edit]

Reason: High risk of IP vandalism due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas War. MagyarNavy1918 (talk) 02:47, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Doesn't seem closely related to the war. Very little editing. If this changes, come back. Ad Orientem (talk) 03:05, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Bojan Bogdanović[edit]

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Donnowin1 (talk) 03:08, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ad Orientem (talk) 03:19, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Hero of Alexandria[edit]

Reason: IP sock of banned user Jagged 85 disrupting the page. Khirurg (talk) 03:50, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Khirurg: Let me know if anything further is required. To block the IP, I would need a brief explanation of the similarity between the IP and Jagged 85. Johnuniq (talk) 05:55, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Spider-Man (2017 TV series)[edit]

Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Bunch of socks with name starting with “DylanLe” attacking it right now. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 05:21, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. And user blocked. Johnuniq (talk) 05:58, 26 June 2024 (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 at 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.

Robert Williams III[edit]

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because he hasn’t played that much........ . 162.83.200.43 (talk) 21:30, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

information Note: The page was protected under the old name in Jan 2019, and was intended to be three days per the RFPP thread. Pinging @Ymblanter: as the protecting admin; I have to assume the indef prot was not intended. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 22:19, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Done, thanks, I can not anymore say what was the reason for my protection in 2019, but I removed it now. Ymblanter (talk) 05:24, 26 June 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

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:Chipmunkdavis[edit]

User:Tonyfaull[edit]

As a WikiGnome, I fix a lot of spelling and grammatical errors. I want to use AutoWikiBrowser to be more effective. I promise to use it responsibly. Tonyfaull (talk) 20:08, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

User:RodRabelo7[edit]

Hello,

Recently, I have made hundreds of edits primarily consisting of correcting proper names related to Brazil and, more generally, to the Portuguese-speaking world. For example, I have fixed the name of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil, which was incorrectly spelled on dozens, if not hundreds, of pages (sometimes as Luís Inácio, Luis Inacio, etc.). Other cases relating to presidents of Brazil include José Sarney (sometimes spelled Jose Sarney), Juscelino Kubitschek (sometimes spelled Juscelino Kubitscheck), and so on, to avoid going into too much detail. Regarding place names, I have corrected Rio de Janeiro (sometimes spelled Río de Janeiro, Rio De Janeiro, etc.), São Paulo (sometimes spelled Sao Paulo, etc.), Brasília (often spelled Brasilia), and so forth. There are more to be corrected, such as Belém, Maranhão, and so on.

That said, I would like to gain access to AutoWikiBrowser to make these edits more easily and efficiently, no more being so limited to redirects as I currently am. For what it's worth, I am fully aware of WP:NOTBROKEN, so I will not make changes to valid redirects, but rather to those with spelling errors ("Spelling errors and other mistakes should be corrected. Don't link to a misspelled redirect"). I also refer to WP:DIACRITICS, emphasizing that the changes I make are well-supported by English-language sources.

Finally, given that AutoWikiBrowser is such a powerful tool, I commit to being cautious while using it, always following the principle "if I'm not sure, I won't do it", to avoid issues that could lead to losing access to it. I have some knowledge of regular expressions, which could be useful when operating it.

Thank you, RodRabelo7 (talk) 18:44, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Requests for confirmation

Confirmed[edit]

User:Rmesrmes[edit]

Dear Wikipedians: I'm a Brazilian user with a good grasp in Inkscape who is looking forward to help converting some raster images from the following page to SVG: Images that should be in SVG format

My main interested in that is both to contribute to Wikipedia and to get more experience with vectorial illustrations. However, I cannot upload SVG versions in those images file history because my account is not autoconfirmed (it has less than 10 edits in EN Wikipedia, even though I have more than that in PT Wikipedia).

I'm asking for the "confirmed" flag because I'll probably never do 10 or more edits in EN Wikipedia articles, mainly because I have good reading skills in English, but I'm at "base level" writing in that language. Rmesrmes (talk) 01:58, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Kinsio[edit]

This account itself is new but I'm far from new to editing. I just got through adding the userpage disclosures for the main two accounts I've done any significant amount of editing from in the past, Anarkinsey and Gawaxay. Gawaxay would probably be the one that would qualify me, but if I'm completely honest I have no idea what that committed identity string would have been. It's completely understandable if that makes this whole thing suspicious (why, past me?!), but I figured it might be worth a shot. Kinsio (talk) 00:43, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'd like to request page mover rights as I often come across articles that do not follow the Wikipedia:Article titles policy and though usually move those articles myself, they sometimes can't be moved due to technical reasons. I have participated in numerous WP:RMs and opened many significant ones, as well as performed many moves myself over the past. Thank you. PadFoot2008 04:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Saqib[edit]

So I plan on using it to address page move vandalism and for other non-controversial tasks such as WP:RM.— Saqib (talk I contribs) 10:38, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer[edit]

User:M S Hassan[edit]

I am requesting Pending Changes Reviewer rights to assist in maintaining the quality of Wikipedia articles. I have been an active editor for almost 3 years, with over 16,000 edits. My contributions reflect a solid understanding of Wikipedia's content policies, including verifiability, neutrality, and no original research. I regularly engage in discussions to improve articles. I am committed to ensuring that pending changes are reviewed promptly and accurately. M S Hassan (talk) 17:25, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

 Not done You've been blocked three times in the last 18 months for edit warring, most recently just last month. Based on that, I don't believe you have evidenced familiarity with one of the requirements of criteria no. 4 in the list of criteria for granting of this permission. This is not a terminal decision and you are free to reapply in the future. Chetsford (talk) 20:17, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

User:48JCL[edit]

I'm a productive user that has warned people in the past for distruptive editing, COI, vandalism and more. I usually try to complete things I start and it is very painful for me to look at Special:PendingChanges having tons of articles. I would definitely try to reduce the backlog. 48JCL 23:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

User:HypeBoy[edit]

I have been helping in improving Wikipedia for three years now, and I am familiar with the wikipedia policy on vandalism as well as the main points of NPOV, Verifiability, WP:NOR, and WP:NOT. I'm hoping I can contribute more to Wikipedia by having PCR right. Thank you. — ‎‎‎hhypeboyh 💬✏️ 00:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Requests for rollback

Rollback[edit]

User:Informationageuser[edit]

Hello. Requesting rollback rights to more swiftly correct vandalism and other clearly improper edits. I have dealt with a variety of these over time, with demonstrated knowledge of how to warn and/or welcome with specific guidance tailored to the problematic edit in each case. Thank you.

 Not done I noticed you make a handful of edits, and then drop off for months at a time. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month consistently patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are always warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 11:21, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Skitash[edit]

As someone who constantly reverts disruptive editors and reports vandals to WP:AIV almost daily, I would greatly appreciate access to rollback permissions to facilitate my work. Skitash (talk) 20:13, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 21:58, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
I apologize for not consistently warning editors when reverting their edits. This was primarily the case with IP hoppers, as warnings seemed redundant given that IPs keep changing. For instance, instead of warning this IP I believed to be a WP:LOUTSOCK of Derklnin (whom I had already warned), I opted to request protection for the page at WP:RPPI to secure the article against long-term IP vandalism instead. Moving forward, I will make sure to issue a warning for every IP and registered user I revert. Skitash (talk) 22:51, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Clearfrienda[edit]

I had rollback on trial that expired about a year ago. My request to renew it was denied due to inactivity. I want to to request it again to gain access to WP:UV and WP:HUGGLE. Thanks. C F A 💬 21:36, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for rollback declined in the past 90 days ([7]). MusikBot talk 21:40, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 Not done When I declined your previous request, I asked you to spend a month actively patrolling RecentChanges. Upon reviewing your contributions, I found almost no reverts in the interim period. I see you made a handful of reverts today, however I'm specifically looking for experience acquired over time, not during a single day. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. -Fastily 21:58, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: I have been patrolling RecentChanges for about a month, not only today. See my undo log. I assumed this would be enough. C F A 💬 22:17, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Please re-read my previous decline, I asked you to patrol consistently and actively. You're reverting vandalism sporadically for a day and then dropping off for weeks at a time. -Fastily 22:48, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Alright, sounds good. I'll start patrolling more consistently. Thanks. C F A 💬 01:05, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

    Making Maps[edit]

    Here's how I make the maps - basically they are all from the Census factfinder web site here. I always use the 2000 census data and if I enter "Ohio", I get this. Next I go to the upper left corner under "Change", click there on "Boundaries and Features" and turn off all labels and all features except the state and county borders (boundaries). Then I get this. I copy the map (right click, or control and Print Screen) then paste that into MS Paint or Paint Dot Net and change the colors so they are consistent with the WikiProject Maps guidleines - I started with the Image:US Locator Blank.svg for its colors. I put a one pixel wide black line around the maps and save them in PNG format in Wikimedia Commons (I have an account there too).

    What I like about the maps is that they are US Government work and so public domain (and I release my modifications under the GFDL). You can zoom in a lot, add streets and water and township and city borders in. Some other examples I have made starting with these are here: Image:Larrys Creek Watershed Map.PNG (started from county and township borders and creeks in the census map), Image:Fort Wayne Indiana Metro Map.PNG (several counties, left the urban areas pink), and my most ambitious county map Image:Lancaster County, PA.PNG. Hope this helps, ask if you have questions.
