Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Reason: High level of vandalism from both IP accounts and registered users due to media attention KnowledgeIsPower3141 (talk) 13:34, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing by multiple accounts. Annh07 (talk) 21:24, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 06:52, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Reason: People keep adding that he graduated "with really good grades" in the early life section, as well as removing the comment that explicitly says to not do this. Micahtchi (talk) 07:18, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Since October 2023, there has been various edits writing false informaton in the article. I have attempted to find sources for the edits, but found nothing. When the article does get edited with false information, parts of the article such as links end up breaking. It would be nice to have some level of protection to the article, so that it can be in a state where it is factually correct Tuutsy (talk) 07:46, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Entranced98 (talk) 12:20, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Vandalism, unsourced content additions and clearly unnecessary material from IPs. Long term problem. Entranced98 (talk) 12:27, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism/unconstructive editing from numerous parties. Unsurprisingly getting the worst negative attention from editors, out of the recently announced Harry Potter TV series starring trio. BarntToust 12:51, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – This article has been the target of persistent disruptive IP-only editing for many years. The IP editor(s) in question persistently revert the article to their preferred version, which seems biased toward South Korea, references wholly inadequate sources, and heavily deviates from Wikipedia's manual of style.

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.


add indian delegation sent to other coutries 152.56.17.42 (talk) 12:52, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

PPR request 152.56.17.42 (talk) 12:53, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

I would like to request that The neutral source mentioned in casualities and losses on Indian side isn't credible enough, the author seems to b referring to Pakistan's initial claims of 5 indian aircrafts shot down which has been challenged around globe due to lack of evidence. Other sources like Washington post and Reuters claims atleast 2 indian jets shot down which is in line with the wider neutral international narrative and evidence present. Hence, I would request to change the claims in the section and cite these sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PrinceVK5 (talkcontribs) 04:44, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

I want to create a new article or subtopic, labelled, "History of Fraud". The reason that I want to do this, is because according to the legal definition of securities fraud, Elon Musk has done exactly that. For example, the 420 funding secured tweet, met the threshold for securities fraud per the Federal Judge overseeing the trial: "No reasonable jury could find that Mr. Musk did not act recklessly given his clear knowledge of the discussions," the judge added. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/court-says-musk-recklessly-tweeted-that-funding-secured-taking-tesla-private-2022-05-11/

The entire reason that the 420 funding secured tweet was made, was for one purpose. To cause short sellers to lose money. Elon Musk had been threatening them for literally months. When he did that, short sellers lost billions of dollars. The only way to manipulate the stock price was to make a knowingly false statement, and Tesla at the time was about 6 weeks from bankruptcy unless they ramped the Model 3.

None of this is documented in his wikipedia page - in fact, the 420 tweet is a literal footnote. For example, saying every single year "I really believe that later this year we'll have Full Self Driving robotaxis" to pump a stock price and keep it elevated is securities fraud. Why does he do this? If tesla has an elevated stock price, he can pay people with stock because the company itself has no cash flows. the Q4 2023 increase in net income was fraud. That's been extensively covered, etc, etc. Editor111111112 (talk) 18:27, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Recklessness does not equate to fraud (which has to be deliberate), and it is not our place to impute motive where others have declined to do so. We cannot, and will not, entertain this particular edit barring much more compelling sources explicitly calling Musk's actions fraud. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 19:17, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

The edit should be made in the DYK section, Hal Hanson sub section:

"On a first read, the phrasing is ambiguous as to who compiled the "team of the century", Dick Cullum or Hal Hanson. (Dick Cullum might be a biographer, and "team of the century" being in quote marks could suggest that this name was attributed to a particular team rather than it being the news media fiction it was. The fact that the sport isn't mentioned just adds to the confusion.) I had to give it the full exposition because this is a requested edit. Thank you for your understanding." Thank you. 2A02:8071:184:4E80:0:0:0:34BD (talk) 05:40, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

I am autopatrolled and an NPP reviewer; I would actually like to nominate User:Kjansen86 to be autopatrolled. I just reviewed and cheerfully accepted almost a dozen perfectly-formulated articles on Zoroastrian texts, and they have made more than 25 overall. Looking at their talk page, this appears to be an experienced and effective editor. Checking their AfD stats, I find one (successful) AfD that they initiated, indicating an awareness of notability. We may as well take them out of the NPP backlog. (This is my first time nominating someone else so if I did it wrong, please let me know!) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Already done (automated response): This user already has the "autoreviewer" user right. MusikBot talk 21:20, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
@LEvalyn: I went ahead and adjusted the nomination so it reflects who's actually being discussed, hope you don't mind! For future reference, you can use the "add request" link at the top of this page and replace the {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} with whichever user you're nominating. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:42, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
Thank you, I really appreciate your fix for this nomination and your tip for next time! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:01, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
@LEvalyn: Thank you very much for the positive evaluation of my work on Wikipedia. I really appreciate it. Kjansen86 (talk) 08:22, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
 Done voorts (talk/contributions) 18:48, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I have started 300+ pages and have been editing for over three and a half years consistently. Early on, I struggled with notability, but I have since demonstrated an understanding for the notability guidelines. I would like to have autopatrol rights, please. Thanks, Bulldawg (talk) 06:48, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

I have created a large number of articles, all without any significant issues. Another user proposed on my talk page that I request to be Autopatrolled. Throughthemind (talk) 15:10, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

Been around for 10 years. A new page reviewer (see here) encouraged me to request the autopatrolled rights over my page and redirect creation record. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 22:42, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Some of your given name and surname pages lack citations for the origins/meanings of the names. For example, the first sentence of Cencio has substantive information that requires a reference. voorts (talk/contributions) 18:59, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
Added refs for Cencio. I’ll be more careful about sourcing info in lists. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 20:57, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
I came across this user in New Page Review. They are a prolific translator (with attribution!) of es-wiki pages on notable topics. Creates talk pages and problem-free articles. 76 mainspace articles created with no deletions. With JohnMizuki continuing to create new pages, granting the autopatrolled flag would help reduce the backlog of unreviewed articles. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:58, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
Requests for AutoWikiBrowser access

AutoWikiBrowser


Requesting the AWB to perform repetitive tasks. I will mainly use it for adding categories to AFd debates, fixing grammatical error, fixing abuse of tags. Thanks for considering my request. VortexPhantom🔥 (talk) 07:33, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi. I intend to use AWB to assist with repetitive but useful maintenance tasks such as fixing common formatting issues, updating templates, correcting typos, and performing category cleanups. Similarly, I have also reviewed the guidelines and will ensure all edits follow Wikipedia policies. I am also familiar with Wikipedia editing conventions and have made constructive edits. Thank you for considering my request and I hope for positive response. Fade258 (talk) 13:24, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

You've requested three different permissions in a week. That looks a lot like WP:Hat collecting. Do you really expect to use all of these? * Pppery * it has begun... 21:45, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Pppery, Well, You're right to ask. I understand concerns about hat collecting. I had requested these permissions because I have specific or immediate plans to use each permission that I have in more frequently, policy based and in constructive manner. If you'd like, I can explain how I intend to apply each permission in current areas where I'm active. I'm not interested in collecting rights for my own sake only as I intend to help where there's a clear need. Thank You for reviewing my request. Fade258 (talk) 13:03, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
Please provide a specific example of a series of edits you would make using AWB if you had rights (doesn't need to be especially large, think ~5 pages). I looked through your contributions and didn't see any such series. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:16, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
If I got the permission to use AWB then initially, I would like to fix clean-up, formatting, Link fixing and typo fixing. As you asked above in your reply, below is the list of some articles that I intend to run AWB.
Hope this list finds you well. Thank You! Fade258 (talk) 03:52, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
This is still on the vague side. Make those specific clean-up edits manually and provide a diff of that. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:44, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
I have made edits manually and provided a diff below. These all edits are related to typos and grammatical correction. Please have a look.
1) Disha Parmar: [2]
2) Deepak Raj Giri: [3], [4]
3) Deepa Shree Niraula: [5], [6]
4) Nischal Basnet: [7] Fade258 (talk) 16:15, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
Those don't look like the sort of changes AWB can be used to make. AWB does have a regex-based typo fixing tool, but those aren't the sort of typos it fixes but instead grammar changes requiring human judgement. And one of them is done with another script, which makes even less sense to showcase as something you would use AWB to do. That, and the fact that you only used rollback twice shortly after I granted it too weeks ago and never again, has finally failed to convince me you are qualified for AWB:  Not done * Pppery * it has begun... 18:56, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm doing a lot of repetitive edits on articles, fixing typos, improving grammar and adding consistent info across pages, so I need AutoWikiBrowser to make the process smoother. I especially need it for pages related to railway stations and Chak villages, where I've been working on adding almost same information. - PunjabiEditor69 (talk) 17:38, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Confirmed

Reason for requesting confirmed rights

Dear Wikipedia administrators,

I would like to kindly request confirmed user status. I am currently interning for the EU-Japan Centre and am contributing to the article about the organisation. The main reason for my request is that I would like to upload the Centre's updated logo and continue making constructive edits to the page.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely, Gommaar Elst Gommaar René L. Elst (talk) 14:55, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Gommaar René L. Elst, please review Wikipedia:Conflict of interest guidelines as you edit. And also Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Secondary sources for guidance that will aid you. (Non-administrator comment) CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {CX}) 15:17, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
 Not done You only need to make four additional edits and you'll be automatically confirmed. As it sounds like you have more to do than just upload the logo (and note what User:CX Zoom said, of course, re WP:COI), you can just do those first and then you'll be confirmed. Chetsford (talk) 16:16, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

I want to publish articles related to Biography, social matters, religious matters, Health, Law and education.

The articles are of use to people for enhancing their knowledge on current affairs, social services, Health, Religion which require immediate publishing and searchable by the people through search engines. Farmaan Hasan Khan (talk) 14:33, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

 Already done (automated response): This user already has the "autoconfirmed" user right. MusikBot talk 14:40, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

I have lost access to my original accounts, User:Linkin Prankster and User:Roman Reigns Fanboy. Wikimedia asked me to enter a verification code it sent to my account yesterday, something it never did before. Unfortunately I don't remember the email addresses I used to register those accounts and now I'm unable to recover them

I talked to admins at WP:AN#Lost access to all my account and they suggested that I try requesting extended confirmed rights here. I request that you grant me the permission so I can go back to editing articles requiring EC level permissions I could normally, instead of having to wait a month for it.

Thank you. Supreme Rankling (talk) 07:02, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Supreme Rankling -- This is a relatively low-risk right to extend to a single user, as its utility is primarily in mass application. Ergo, I have no problem granting this to your new account on an accelerated basis with only minor precaution.
  • Once you're WP:Autoconfirmed, which will occur about June 2, please ping me in this thread. Assuming neither of the aforementioned accounts have edited by that point (and assuming neither have replied to the emails I'll send them), I'll then grant you Extended Confirmed for 45 days which will be long enough for you to naturally reacquire the right at your previous editing cadence.
  • This account (Supreme Ranking) will be indefinitely blocked if either User:Linkin Prankster or User:Roman Reigns Fanboy become active during that period so please take care to ensure you have completely abandoned those accounts and don't have any autosaved passwords on your device(s).
Thanks, in advance, for your patience.Chetsford (talk) 09:24, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
I mostly edit articles with EC-level ranking. Especially Israel-Palestine conflict related. I have no problem in other accounts being blocked User:Chetsford. Supreme Rankling (talk) 11:59, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

Hi, I would like to request New Page Reviewer rights. I have some experience as an Articles for Creation (AfC) reviewer and have gained a good understanding of Wikipedia’s notability, sourcing, and content policies. I’m interested in helping reduce the backlog by reviewing new pages, and I’m familiar with guidelines such as WP:NPP, WP:CSD, WP:N, and WP:BLP. I aim to contribute constructively on Wikipedia. Thank you Endrabcwizart (talk) 16:30, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia and your interest in this permission. In reviewing your track record thus far, however, I'm a bit concerned by both a very low AfD match rate, and the final exchange between you and Alalch E. in this AfD. A lot of the material in question is old enough that this isn't necessarily a dealbreaker, but the recent comment at AfD (even if it is about an article you created much earlier), coupled with the lack of more recent evidence of a strong record in AfD and/or article creation, I ultimately have to mark this as  Not done. Please consider reapplying once you've built up a more recent track record of constructive AfD participation (or other edits that demonstrate a clear understanding of the relevant guidelines and policies). signed, Rosguill talk 20:02, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Recently beside to anti-vandalism, I have also been interested in resolving the page backlog. Looking at the huge backlog of new pages, I'd greatly appreciate the opportunity to contribute and help alleviate the backlog. Thanks! Halley luv Filipino ❤ (Talk) 15:27, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

I have independently created 14 new articles and contributed to the improvement of several others by polishing clarity, tone, and adherence to Wikipedia's core content policies. I am familiar with the principles of notability, verifiability, reliable sourcing, and neutral point of view, and I strive to uphold these standards in all my contributions. I am requesting New Page Reviewer rights to assist in maintaining the quality of newly created content and to contribute more effectively to the Wikipedia. Thesazh (talk) 08:43, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

 Not done Fails minimum criteria. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:42, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I’d like to request New Page Patroller rights. I’ve created 24 articles, all of which meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines, and I have a solid understanding of notability across a range of topics. I was recently granted AfC reviewer rights and have begun actively reviewing drafts. While my reviews aren’t high in quantity yet, I believe they reflect careful, quality work aligned with Wikipedia policies. I also participate in AfD discussions and have experience in both deletions and retentions based on consensus and policy. Additionally, I’ve improved a number of unsourced articles by adding reliable citations. I’d like to disclose that, if granted NPP rights, I will primarily focus on India-related topics, as I have strong familiarity with reliable Indian sources and local context. I believe it’s best to patrol within areas where I can apply sound judgment and avoid risky decisions. I’m open to feedback or a trial period. Thank you. Afstromen (talk) 12:49, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Recreating Spinny (company) despite Spinny being salted seems like something that should be a total deal-breaker here. But I don't normally get involved in this area so will let another admin make a final decision. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:41, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
@Pppery, I’ve posted a note on the talk page of Spinny (company) to clarify my intention. I genuinely believe the subject is notable, based on significant coverage in reliable, independent sources.
To be honest, I wasn’t aware that when a title is protected, there are specific procedures to follow before recreating the article. As soon as I realized the situation, I added a note on the talk page to be transparent and open to community input.
I’d appreciate any guidance on what the appropriate process is in such cases especially when a title has been salted. My goal is to contribute constructively and in line with Wikipedia’s policies
Afstromen (talk) 15:13, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
Frankly, this isn't convincing. The mindset that one sees that one is prohibited from doing something, and then tries to do it anyway through the back door is not the mindset we want to have in new page reviewers. It gives the appearance of being holier-than-thou. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:16, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
I shared my intentions honestly, and I truly didn’t realize that what I did was against the guidelines. If this has caused any concern about trust, I understand, but I want to make it clear that it wasn’t intentional. I know how important it is that all contributions follow policy and are made in good faith. I respect your decision and will be more careful in the future.
Afstromen (talk) 16:03, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
In the future, the WP:SALTing needs to be removed (via asking the protecting admin on their user talk, or via WP:RFUP) rather than putting an article at a non-ideal title. The title is non ideal because "(company)" is an unnecessary disambiguator in this case. Disambiguators should only be used if there are multiple articles with the same name. –Novem Linguae (talk) 04:52, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
I’ll make sure to be more careful about this in the future. Thank you for pointing it out.

Hello,
Requesting New Page Patroller permissions. I have over a decade of activity on Wikipedia, with 4,400+ live edits (99.4% of my edits are "live"). I have created three (proper) articles. I became more active in the last 1-2 years. I believe I meet and exceed the minimum criteria.

That said, my weakest areas would probably be CSD and PROD. However, I am familiar with both, I've just had my hands full with AfC reviews and AfD contributions. I otherwise have relatively extensive discussion experience with no disciplinary action taken against me. Thank you for your time and consideration. MWFwiki (talk) 20:28, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

I've found myself making semi-regular requests at WP:RM/TR (7 in the last two years, 13 overall). I feel like this is one of the things I could just handle myself instead of bothering others with, and could potentially help out with as I see fit. I don't currently plan on closing any RM discussions, but I am very familiar with WP:NCTV, which is my main topic area, that I rarely branch out out of, and the general policy laid out at WP:NC.

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights:

To expand my tool belt as an extended confirmed recent changes patroller, and to more quickly afford new users their non policy breaking contribution. I have currently no sanctions against me and I think I understand wiki policy well enough for it. Thank you JamesEMonroe (talk) 20:02, 22 May 2025 (UTC) (Post edit) When using this perm, I will take extra care. I think I have met requirements in WP:PCCRITERIA and have reviewed Wikipedia policy. Also please consider older reverts as well or when I took the time to explain things to new users. JamesEMonroe (talk) 21:27, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting this right so that I can more easily revert vandalism. If you have looked at my user page, one of the main things I do is revert vandalism. This right, while not making it easier to do so, would give me a different way to do so. I think I have met requirements in WP:PCCRITERIA and have reviewed Wikipedia policy. My account is pretty new, but that is because I just got back into editing Wikipedia. I had an account when I lived in Chicago that had over a year experience. I could not longer access that account because I have forgotten the username and password. Again, I think this would be a good opportunity for me to do something I love in a different way.

I want to have this permission to reduce the pending changes backlog. I reviewed all the guidelines, such as BLP and the guideline for referencing. I revert good faiths and obvious vandalism and warn the user right after. Although I cannot perform a rollback to the recent changes page to have a consecutive track record due to my device's limited capabilities. I would rather choose pending changes over rollback; with rollback, I must have track records of mass rollback vandalism. But since I understood the guideline of rollback and pending changes, I can assure you that I will be responsible for having this permission. — ArćRèvtalk 10:38, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
