    Requests for page protection


    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

    Request protection

  • WP:RPP/I
  • 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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Vandalism by IP user. 2601:646:9982:E590:6853:28DB:A8A1:EDEA (talk) 20:18, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked: 2601:646:8003:6B20:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for three months. Daniel Case (talk) 02:25, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Githubwiki (talk) 21:52, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

    Looking at the page history, the IPs appear to have been making good-faith edits. I have my reservations about whether Githubwiki is editing in good faith or within the guidelines about (ab)use of multiple accounts. —C.Fred (talk) 22:01, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
    Declined per above. Daniel Case (talk) 03:45, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Reason: Indefinite extended confirmed protection per WP:ARBPIA Rainsage (talk) 22:18, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. This precedes the current conflict and isn't relevant to it. Daniel Case (talk) 03:48, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Reason: AfD is being swarmed by SPAs and IP users whos activity is unlikely to be legitimate Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:47, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

    Declined It doesn't seem like the AfD is being overhwelmed to the degree where I would consider protection advisable. Daniel Case (talk) 03:50, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Reason: We agreed in discussion to remove neo-fascism yet one editor dosn't accept that Ensyloium (talk) 23:07, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

    Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Daniel Case (talk) 03:52, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: No need for non confirmed editors on page. Moxy🍁 01:39, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Semi-protected indefinitely. Daniel Case (talk) 04:14, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Reason: High level of BLP vandalism regarding Ava Kris Tyson Snokalok (talk) 03:11, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Please warn the user appropriately then report them to WP:ANI if they continue. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:17, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Reason: Continued and persistent disruption from IPs vandalizing the article and adding unsourced content. Probably eligible as a WP:CTOP action too. Suggest semi-protection at a minimum through at least 2024-11-06. —Locke Coletc 04:36, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Logged as enforcement for WP:CT/AP. Let's start with semi-protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:46, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – More sockpuppetry by Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PaullyMatthews. al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah has been persistently targeted since at least September 2023‎ [1] and Shajar al-Durr since at least November 2023 [2]. HistoryofIran (talk) 04:38, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Reason: Persistent vandalism and ARBPIA violations. Traumnovelle (talk) 04:59, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Reason: Vandalism by IP user. Temporary semi-protection needed. Jet Jerry (talk) 05:27, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 05:31, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 06:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    Requests for autopatrolled

    Autopatrolled

    Hello, I have created 100+ articles, primarily focused on television series. And I plan to keep doing the same. Thanks for your consideration C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

    Link to previous request. (I have no opinion at this time.) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:36, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
    Extraordinary Writ, I appreciate it. Thanks for looking into my request. — C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 05:50, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
    Joe Roe, you declined this previously. Do you want to have another look? Schwede66 06:42, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
    I'm sorry I don't have time to look at this properly right now. I'm happy for another admin to process it as they see fit. – Joe (talk) 09:33, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
    Joe Roe, I appreciate it. Thanks for looking into my request. — C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 09:47, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
    C1K98V, I've had a look at your last five articles. They are generally clean, if short. What makes you think, though, that cast lists don't need references? That appears to be a problem with every article that you produce. Schwede66 22:39, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
    Hi @Schwede66, I hope you're doing well. Thank you for your feedback. I understand and value the importance of verifiability. I apologize to you for not including references in the cast section. I will fix my past creation. Moving forward, I will ensure doing the same. I assure you that you won't regret it. Thanks for your consideration C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 02:43, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
    Give me a ping, please, when you've done a few of your past pages. I shall take another look, C1K98V. Schwede66 05:57, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
    Schwede66 Sure, I will let you know once I fix my past creations. In the meantime, you can have a look at The Heist (2024 film), Let's Get Divorced and Bloody Ishq. Thanks for your consideration. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 06:30, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
    Hello Schwede66, I tried to fix my last eleven articles as per your input. I would appreciate your feedback on the same. Thank you C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 18:38, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
     Done I've given autopatrolled for six months. Before that expires in January 2025, please come back here for another check in. Schwede66 19:52, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
    Schwede66, Sure. Thanks you. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 00:42, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

    I have been contributing to Wikipedia for some time now and have made numerous constructive edits, focusing mainly on Global South topics. I believe that having autopatrolled rights would help streamline my contributions by reducing the workload for the reviewing editors and ensuring quicker article updates.

    I have read and understand Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, including those on notability and reliable sourcing. I am committed to maintaining high standards of content quality and adhering to community norms.

    If you could consider granting me autopatrolled rights, I would greatly appreciate your consideration. Thanks. 12eeWikiUser (talk) 09:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC) 12eeWikiUser (talk) 09:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

    I'm sorry but as a third of the articles you created have been deleted so far, they will need to be patrolled for the foreseeable future.  Not done. – Joe (talk) 10:17, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

    Applying for the right as my edits were rationale. I have undergone all the criterions and I fit in all. I am well aware about Star Missispi and Joe Roe's earlier declines, but now I am fully washed and proved myself eligible for the right. From AFD/CSD to AfC reviews, and developing a handful of drafts for acceptance, I can now proudly say that I am eligible for the role. Twinkle1990 (talk) 15:32, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

     Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([3]). MusikBot talk 15:40, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
    So what MusikBot? What's your problem?? Can't an user improved against AI bot like you? Twinkle1990 (talk) 15:47, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
    Uh.... that just auto replies showing recently declined requests. I'm really not sure what you think responding to the bot will do. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:37, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
    I don't believe I've ever declined a request from autopatrolled from you, Twinkle1990. You had the right revoked by Star Mississippi in June 2023 and subsequent requests for it were denied by Novem Linguae.[4] Hey man im josh,[5] and Rosguill.[6] That last time (two months ago) Rosguill told you it was more of a "never" than a "not now".  Not done and please do not ask again, it is becoming disruptive. – Joe (talk) 15:53, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
    @Joe Roe you are an involved admin. Can you please left over to non-involved Admins? Why you are everywhere? User Maximilian Janisch treated you fine while you hammered his article and profile here. Kindly don't abuse you admin POWER. Twinkle1990 (talk) 16:12, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
    (Non-administrator comment) @Twinkle1990, observing this from the capacity as someone who is not an admin (but none the less a long-time editor), I'd suggest you may consider taking heed of Joe's advice and back away from this for a while (maybe until at least next year). I note in your rationale you consider yourself "suitable for the role", so one may wonder how well you understand what autopatrolled is (though I am sure you know it doesn't impact your editing ability). Bungle (talkcontribs) 16:52, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
     Not done If it helps your peace of mind, here's something from another admin. Schwede66 22:42, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
    As far as I can see my only interactions with you to date have been to participate in the ANI thread that led to the revocation of your rights and decline your request for NPR four months ago. As I was acting in an administrative role both times, that doesn't make me involved. – Joe (talk) 07:24, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
    Good to see that ANI thread that was created by a Sock and commented by a few other sock users. No hard feeling. I won't apply again before 2006. Twinkle1990 (talk) 13:39, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

    Requesting so I can help streamline small edits like typos, general maintenance, and so on. NyanThousand (talk) 12:56, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

    Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights:

    • Amisom, your extended confirmed status was removed here which I'm sure you know. If you are requesting it back, it's best to be honest and forthcoming. Liz Read! Talk! 01:07, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

    on what basis? Amisom (talk) 13:57, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
    @FightStranger: Please leave this to admins to respond to these requests. stwalkerster (talk) 15:06, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
    Amisom has made approximately 150 edits since their unblock in August 2021. Based on @ToBeFree:'s comment stating I have revoked extended-confirmation and rollback for now; you'll need to slowly re-build your reputation from lower than zero, I take this to mean that solely for the purposes of re-granting extended-confirmed, Amisom's edit count and account age requirement would be counted from the date of their unblock. Based on their recent editing history (namely to Talk:ICJ case on Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories), it appears that their underlying reason for wanting to regain extended-confirmed is to wade into WP:ARBPIA topics. That alone makes me nervous based on the unblock discussions that were had at the time, not to mention that edits like this one are edging closer to the WP:NPA line than I like. I'm also quite disappointed that the relevant information wasn't disclosed up-front. I'm not going to actually make the call at the moment in case either of the other admins or the remover of EC (ToBeFree) want to opine, but I'm leaning fairly heavily no on this request. stwalkerster (talk) 15:24, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
    Thank you very much for the ping – wow, this permission request page is interesting at the moment. 🙂 One of the requesting editors above has been blocked, another's comments including the struck-through one turned out to be a sockpuppet's, and this request here lacks information others have fortunately provided.
    I could wait for a fifth administrator's opinion, but Liz, Elli and stwalkerster all just explained their concerns instead of granting the permission, so I don't need to do the same; I can close this without feeling like being the single administrator making Amisom's Wikipedia life harder. Hello Amisom, it's been a while. I don't blame you for not mentioning what happened, both in the discussion at Talk:ICJ case on Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories and here; I'd even be (more) open to the request if it actually came >500 edits after the unblock. I didn't really think about "500 edits from now" when unblocking and was looking for a general rebuilding of trust, but stwalkerster has a point: Newcomers need to make 500 edits before gaining the permission, so 500 edits from your restart are a reasonable minimum to expect before a request. Please don't simply request the permission directly after having made 500 more edits, though. That's not the point. It doesn't work in this direction. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

    Requests for file mover

    File mover

    I would like to apply for the File mover right to rename files. I've been contributing on Commons for quite some time now, and I've been doing lots of good file renaming requests on Wikipedia. The file movers also appreciated my rename requests [7]. I'm a file mover and patroller on Commons, and I've moved over 1000 files so far. I have a good understanding of the renaming guideline, and I think it would be really helpful also having the right here. Thank you! Waqar💬 14:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

    Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights

    As an experienced Wiki editor, I am requesting new page reviewer rights to help maintain the quality and accuracy of new pages. Your approval would allow me to contribute more effectively to wiki community. SparrowQ (talk) 18:30, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

    Hello there, I am interested tn helping out in new page reviewing as there are very large articles backlog and love to do so. Xegma(talk) 07:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

    Question, though I am not an administrator, I see that you have published accepted AFC submissions, even if they lack citations or are in need of some fixing. And some have orange banners on them. Why is this? — 48JCL 01:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
    @48JCL: As they should. The standard at acceptance at AfC is that the article would probably survive an AfD. Nothing more. Declining a draft for surmountable problems like a lack of citations or pretty much anything covered by a cleanup banner is inappropriate. – Joe (talk) 08:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
    I spot checked the 4 most recent accepts and they had lots of citations at time of acceptance. Feel free to link to the specific draft accepts you are concerned with. A complete lack of citations is a valid draftification reason and valid AFC decline reason, but I am not seeing that here. A major lack of citations such as entire paragraphs missing a citation (and also not supported by any WP:GENREFs) could be a valid decline reason (WP:V is policy after all). But it may also be reasonable to accept a draft that is mostly cited and just missing a couple citations, such as Draft:Norah Fulcher. –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:33, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

    I would like to request new page reviewer rights to help review newly-created articles and lower the backlog. I have accepted lots of drafts at AFC and participated in many AfDs with deep discussions to exhibit my knowledge of notability, as I was advised previously. Thanks! Waqar💬 19:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 08:31, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

    Thank you for volunteering @Miminity, but I'm afraid I'm not enough experience with the deletion process to feel comfortable granting a trial at this point in time. I encourage you to spend some time at WP:AFD and make policy based votes to show that you're comfortable evaluating notability. Alternatively, you can apply to help out at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation.  Not done. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:50, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

    That's normal behaviour @Clovermoss. We just simply wait and the perm will not be removed :) Hey man im josh (talk) 13:52, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
    It is? I genuinely didn't realize that. I don't think I've seen this before (but okay). My other question looking at this is if you actually extended the right? It looks like it expires the same time as before. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:54, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
    @Clovermoss: That's just the other weird quirk of it that every admin working at perm eventually finds out about. If you try to change their rights, you'll see it's set to "does not expire". Hey man im josh (talk) 13:59, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

    Requests for pending changes reviewer

    Pending changes reviewer

    Hey there! I'm ThatOneWolf, and, I know I've been here twice before, but those times I admit I didn't really get the whole idea of experience and stuff. Plus, my last request was months ago. I took a little break recently when I just was checking my talk page and watchlist, but now I've come back to editing.

    Anyway, the reason I'm requesting Reviewer rights now is because I feel like I could help in that area, with most of my edits being vandalism reversions. I also feel I suitably warn editors when I think they are intending to vandalize, or just let them know if it seems they could be trying to help. I've read all the policies listed in Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, and am very familiar with the copyright laws. This is why I feel I would be more fit now to receive this right. Thanks for reading! -- ThatOneWolf (ChatEdits 12:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

    I watch recent changes often for vandalism and problematic edits, and understand the difference between the two when reverting them. I've also reviewed the guidelines on reviewing pending changes. I hope this right can help me more effectively perform anti-vandal work. ADifferentMan (talk) 07:34, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

    Requests for rollback

    Rollback

    Hello! I am applying for the role of rollbacker, having been a Wikipedia user for over 10 years and being increasingly active in the last few years. In this vein, I feel that I have undone my fair share of vandalism and, being mainly focused on football/sports articles, vandalism and unconstructive/unsourced edits are very common in my area of interest and editing. I believe that these rights will be very useful in maximising the efficiency of my work on Wikipedia and will save me time from undoing separate edits individually. Additionally, I have past experience as an administrator on a Wikia project, where I made use of the rollback feature and have good knowledge of its positives and when to utilise it. Thank you for taking your time to review my request. Kind regards, Vasil3fonov (talk) 12:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

    I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as TwinkleorUltraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 01:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
    Firstly, I must say I was not aware of the fact that you have to leave a message for every kind of blatant vandalism that is reverted. I usually do it in cases where the user is registered and appears to have used the account for more than a single edit, where they have also done multiple similar unconstructive edits. Secondly, I did not know what the tools were used for and, usually, when I leave messages regarding things such as vandalism, I do it manually. I will take a look at the tools and perhaps make a future request if I am able to work with them properly. If not, then I suppose I will just stick to my current flow of anti-vandalism work. Thanks, Vasil3fonov (talk) 05:39, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
    Sounds good, closing as  Not done -Fastily 08:57, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

    I regularly monitor the "recent change" feed now for about 2 months now, I actively warn users when I revert their edits thanks to twinkle and ultraviolet and actively report the clear vandals and spam accounts.
