Current requests for increase in protection level
[edit]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.
Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Continued editwarring on infobox image, open discussion on talk page. - FlightTime (open channel) 15:31, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- If we full-protect it, it will mean that when that full protection expires all protection will end as it is not currently possible to layer two levels of protection. I can set a W-Ping to reset it, but this will likely mean there will be some period where the article is completely unprotected. Would you be OK with this possibiility? Daniel Case (talk) 05:14, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]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.
Reason: Create protection is no longer required because the page will be redirected to Royal Match. The company is not notable enough for its own article, but is best known for its creation of the game. This is the result of an AFC/R request. Original administrator has not been active since April, and a timely response is unlikely. Garsh (talk) 22:27, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
Protected for over a decade. However, both of the page protectors are likely inactive. Consider downgrading protection level and set a time limit?102.106.191.176 (talk)
Question: Agree the disruption that led to the AfD being protected has long since ceased. But curious why anyone would need to edit this closed AFD from 2011. The deleted article title (VIBES FM Hamburg) is not protected so is theoretically available for recreation if the subject has since become notable. -- Euryalus (talk) 06:48, 8 September 2024 (UTC) Euryalus (talk) 06:48, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Comment: There's no reason to edit it, so why unprotect it? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 07:10, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Let me ask you this then: why won't you at least let EC users fix Linter Errors in case if they notice any?102.106.191.176 (talk) 07:20, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Does it have any? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 07:26, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Sumanuil It's clean from all lint* error types that we regularly fix and I don't see any reason to need to edit that page for lint reasons.
- * The one "issue" that you'll see listed there in the lint info, "night-mode-unaware-background-color", is more a tracking category than a lint error, and it is predominantly being left alone by the experienced delinting editors since we don't really agree with WMF for it's classification as lint, and since the issues are not well defined with a high rate of false flags. Until then, those issues are to be ignored. Zinnober9 (talk) 15:35, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]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.
I would like to request that... (date of death is updated to 30/11/2024) . Jamesington (talk) 23:58, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
Comment: For which one? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 02:34, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Jamesington Presumably you mean Sophie Anderson (actress) as that is protected, and 30/11/2023 not 30/11/2024. Do you have a source? TSventon (talk) 21:43, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Been on Wikipedia for a few years now. Mainly created BLPs. Requesting for autopatrolled rights to reduce the backlog of new page patrollers. I declare that I've understood verifiability, notability and copyrights. SerChevalerie (talk) 21:21, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Extended confirmed[edit]
Can i please have extended confirmed rights back. I lost it because one day when i had a little less than 500 edits, i made about 45-55 edits in one hour in order to get to 500 edits. Im new to this site and didn't know gaming edits was against the rules. Ever since i lost the extended confirmed thing, I've made hundreds of edits i think are constructive and i stopped vandalism a few times and have a much better understanding of the rules. extended confirmed rights HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 21:59, 3 September 2024 (UTC) |

Event coordinator[edit]
I have organized two edit-a-thons in the past for WP:LABOR and will organize a third one soon in October. I am exploring running several in-person edit-a-thons in person at labor related conferences this year so this perm would be useful. In addition, I am advocating for English Wikipedia to enable Meta:CampaignEvents here, which ideally would also make use of this existing permission.

New page reviewer[edit]
Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights Jattlife121 (talk) 13:57, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Good day. I previously requested this permission but was declined due to lack of editing time on this account (I worked on an IP previously but have no way to prove this). At the risk of appearing too eager for this permission, I am requesting it again as I now have lengthier editing experience. I have demonstrated experience in AfC, AfD, CSD, draftification, and article creation. I also maintain rollbacker and pending change permissions. I believe I can be help bring down the NPP backlog and have the experience and policy understanding that is necessary to do so accurately. Garsh (talk) 01:31, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Requests for page mover |

Page mover[edit]
I have been editing since 2005 with over 15,000 edits without incident. I am requesting this permission so I am able to perform round robin moves when necessary. I am also open to assisting at WP:RM. James (talk/contribs) 21:34, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
I'm 2RDD. With over a thousand edits and experience in maintaining article quality, I'm eager to help with page moves. I understand the importance of accurate titles and want to assist in keeping our namespace organized. I've reviewed the page move guidelines and am familiar with the process. Granting me Page Mover rights would allow me to efficiently rename pages, reducing the workload for administrators. Thanks for considering my request! 2RDD (talk) 10:18, 8 September 2024 (UTC) |

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
Hello! I have read Wikipedia:Reviewing_pending_changes. I want to become a pending changes reviewer. ZeetBaralWiki 15:21, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
I edit AusPol pages, and I'd like to be able to approve edits made to them :) No stress if I need more of a track record of edits - I totally understand. Jy Sandford (talk) 23:44, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
I have reviewed the criteria for receiving this permission, and feel my contribution history demonstrates an adequate knowledge of creating, expanding, and patrolling articles in accordance to Wikipedia policies. Tvfunhouse (talk) 00:54, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
Heyo, I'm writing to request the Pending Change Reviewer permission. I'm well versed in the use of tools such as RCPatrol and after reading Wikipedia:Reviewing_pending_changes I believe I'd be a good fit for the Pending changes reviewer permission. Thanks for your consideration, Mark MarkRosenbaum (talk) 21:49, 8 September 2024 (UTC) |
Requests for rollback |

Rollback[edit]
Hello! I request for the permission - Rollback. ZeetBaralWiki 15:43, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Hello to anyone concerned. I am requesting rollbacker rights, having done so before without the knowledge of having to warn users after undoing their edits, and I believe I now have a substantial track record of doing so ever since promising to fulfill that role. I now also have a good idea of how to use tools such as Twinkle effectively, which have greatly helped my work against vandalism. Thanks for taking your time to read my request. Best regards, Vasil3fonov (talk) 16:56, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
I believe I'm experienced enough to have this right. OhHaiMark (talk) 21:47, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi everyone, I'm 2RDD. I've been editing Wikipedia for a year now and have made over a thousand edits. I'm passionate about maintaining article quality and combating vandalism. I believe Rollbacker rights would help me make a bigger impact. I'm eager to take on this responsibility and contribute to our community's mission. Thanks for considering my request! Best, 2RDD (talk) 10:03, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

"Do you want to take a survey?"
[edit]On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.
On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.
Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.
