Grupo Austral case

[edit]

Reason: Please move the page back to Road infrastructure case (for WP:STATUSQUO) and place a move protection. I have created the page with that name, and it has been moved twice for weak reasons. A potential move should be decided on a move request, not by further unilateral moves, and it should be the one proposing the move the one to initiate it and get consensus. The page is also currently at Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates. Cambalachero (talk) 03:13, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Woni Spotts

[edit]

Reason: Hello, I am Woni Spotts, the subject of this article. Since 2019, I have experienced repeated vandalism, false claims, and personal attacks on this page—many tied to a public rivalry. These incidents have affected both the main article and its Talk page, and often involve unsourced or misleading edits.

I respectfully request that this article be considered for semi-protection to prevent further disruption, and that future changes be reviewed under the Biographies of Living Persons (BLP) policy to ensure accuracy and fairness.

Thank you for your consideration and help in maintaining the integrity of this article. 2600:8802:3A09:6400:86C:E076:FB1:CD8 (talk) 03:32, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

[edit]
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Shortcuts

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.

The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends

[edit]

Reason: Unprotection: This article has been semi-protected since 2010 due to apparent sockpuppetry by Bambifan101. Now that it seems that Bambifan isn't active for quite some time, and the other Land Before Time film articles are not protected, perhaps it's time to unprotect this one after 15 years have past? The protecting administrator has long retired since 2014. BriDash9000 (talk) 14:05, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

 Comment: Bambifan isn't known for dropping the stick. He was active in January, and he'll likely be back. So this doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Sumanuil. (talk to me) 21:06, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
Can you point me to the incident? The last report at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bambifan101 was in January 2024. Sdrqaz (talk) 22:40, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
My mistake. Regardless, unprotecting a low-profile LTA target seems like it would be tempting fate. Keeping it protected doesn't cost anything, and the requesting editor is extended-confirmed, so it's not like the protection affects them. If they need to edit it, they can. Sumanuil. (talk to me) 23:54, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
Not unprotected but rather reduced to PCP, a protection type that didn't exist at the time this article was protected, and which seems appropriate in this case. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:50, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Kabyle people

[edit]

Reason: the article contains misleading information, biased framing, and/or incomplete or outdated sources that may misinform readers. This undermines Wikipedia’s principles of neutrality and verifiability. Due to the page's locked status, constructive edits and factual corrections by good-faith contributors are being blocked.

It is essential that more editors be allowed to participate in revising this content to restore accuracy, balance, and adherence to Wikipedia’s standards. I respectfully urge administrators to reconsider the current level of protection and allow broader community involvement. Rocher54 (talk) 23:41, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) You can request an edit be made on the article's talk page, supported by reliable sources. Aydoh8[what have I done now?] 23:44, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. The protection doesn't prevent "broader community involvement" in the slightest. That's what the talk page is for. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:40, 12 June 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
Shortcut

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.

 Not done Everything about your account looks great, however, Autopatrolled ultimately exists to protect WP:BLPs more than anything else so experience with BLPs is part of the demonstration needed to surmount criterion one. You've created many great articles but, insofar as I can tell, all about the deceased. And you only have a few dozen edits on BLPs. Please keep up the great work and request again.

User:SuperSwift

[edit]

I have been creating Wikipedia articles for over 8yrs now, and have trained many editors on how to create encyclopedic articles. Granting me this right would reduce the backlog for articles to be reviewed. SuperSwift (talk) 08:31, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([4]). — MusikBot talk 08:40, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
SuperSwift, do you want to let us know how your editing approach has changed since the last decline two months ago? Schwede66 09:10, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
My editing approach has always been encyclopedic with attention to NPOV, notability, reliability of sources used. Recently, I created an article for the upcoming general elections in Nigeria and intend on creating for the presidential, national assembly, state assembly and governorship elections. My new focus is on creating articles for Nigerian towns and villages not already captured on en.Wiki, and also those of national assembly constituencies. SuperSwift (talk) 08:01, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

My reason for requesting page mover rights is that I often need to rename a page, but also in the case of page move vandals, I could move the page back to the correct title. I may have little experience, but it'll work out. Starfall2015 chat | about me 14:02, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Firstly, you have shown no demonstratable need. Secondly, you very clearly need more experience, both in terms of edits (you only have 240 of 3000 required) and in terms of moves: you have zero RM participation and RMTR requests, and only one mainspace move - that of an article you created, which later got AfD redirected.

User:Dr. Blofeld

[edit]

I am running contests like Wikipedia:The World Destubathon. It is a big attempt to eliminate thousands of stubs for every country and topic and want to invite a lot of project members personally with a message. User:DreamRimmer and User:Polygnotus have been very helpful, but it would greatly help me if I was given formal mass message rights as I will likely be running more contests in the future and need the easiest outlet to contact relevant projects and participants who would potentially be interested without having to spend ages doing it manually! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:51, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: If you mean inviting members of a lot of WikiProjects, as I gather from your talk page, then I think this would go against the guidance that

Mass messages should only be sent to groups of users who are likely to want their attention drawn to the message [...] For other cases, less personalized means of communication are preferred. Wikipedia's primary means of communication is through posts on article talk pages, Wikipedia talk pages, or various noticeboards, including the Village Pump. [...] To reach the members of a given WikiProject, a post on that project's talk page can be used.

Hey there! I will once again be a coordinator for the Developing Countries WikiContest this year, for which I was granted temporary rights last time — see my previous request. In addition to a few newsletters for the contest, I also helped out with a few requests at WT:MMS (log). That's an area I wouldn't mind continuing to monitor outside of the contest period, and I may need this permission again if the DCWC continues for a third edition, so I'd like to request the right permanently. Please let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:46, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Requests for pending changes reviewer


Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

User:JamesEMonroe

[edit]

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)

Hi JamesEMonroe! I am not formally granting this permission (nor am I denying it), but I do think you should cut back a bit on the WP:STICKYDECO stuff on your userpage. While I have added the applicable CSS class to make the gadget function, many newbies—who frequently will have complaints when you revert their edits—will be unaware of the ability to tick the box to disable them, and they can be highly annoying/distracting/problematic for editors with sensory issues.

I wouldn't object if another admin chooses to grant the permission, but I wouldn't personally feel comfortable assigning newbie-interaction-heavy advanced permissions with the current amount of sticky decorations. Best regards, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:55, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
Ah, Thank you! As you saw, I tried to add the collapsible boxes as a way for people to disable them (like the "clutter clear ->") as collapsing it would disable the code within. I was planning on making some changes actually, such as rearranging things and improving accessibility a bit, while always importantly keeping the talk page free from anything as it is. I hope it didn't appear unprofessional on me or too annoying.
But I see what you mean as some newer people might not see the boxes. and ill see what I could do. JamesEMonroe (talk) 04:15, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
@JamesEMonroe: On the default skin (Vector 2022) your Einstein gif blocks the "talk" button, the left molecule gif blocks the entire left sidebar, and the gifs on the right side block much of the right sidebar plus the "ClutterClear" button. That disrupts the interface by "preventing important links or controls from being easily seen or used". I would also urge you to fix that. – SilverLocust (Jenson) 06:28, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
Good call. I removed it.
I didn't want to block the user talk page especially JamesEMonroe (talk) 06:43, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
I guess it makes it hard when its fine on my screen but possibly different on others. let me see with the other things. sorry about that ^^ JamesEMonroe (talk) 06:48, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

User:Arc Rev

[edit]

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. — ArćRèv • talk 10:38, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Re-requesting the Pending Changes granted by Mz7 to my comprised old account. Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs⚔ 09:56, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

User:Sardonism

[edit]

Hi there!

Despite my account having existed since 2009, I only have a modest edit count - and so it is more than reasonable for one to question whether I am a sufficiently experienced Wikipedian to be granted additional privileges.

I am requesting Pending changes reviewer as I believe I have demonstrated a good faith effort to contribute to the project, civility when interacting with other users, and adequate judgement when attempting to discern between deliberate vandalism or well-intentioned mistakes. But more than anything, I seek to find relevant policies and / or guidelines when confronted with a new (to me) situation - and while I endeavour to be WP:BOLD, I am aware of my own limitations and thus I know when to stop and ask others for guidance before proceeding.

If granted Pending changes reviewer I cannot promise I would be a prolific reviewer of pending changes; merely that when reviewing pending changes I would ensure I am doing it because I am confident in my ability to get that decision right, rather than out of boredom or a desire / sense of obligation to make the decision myself.

Thank you very much for your time & consideration.

I think I'm supposed to have this as I see an option suddenly for pending changes on my watchlist, for the article Remote sensing? I was going to approve (it's just a newer user adding some book references), but I guess I cannot? -- Very Polite Person (talk) 21:02, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment)@Very Polite Person Are you getting an option to accept it or it's written '[pending review]'? Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs⚔ 08:59, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
It was I think just the text with no link/option to accept, and now it says "Checked". -- Very Polite Person (talk) 15:35, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
@Very Polite Person Well, it appears to tell editors(not only reviewers), that the edit hasn't been accepted by a reviewer yet. Please familiarise yourself with WP:RPC before applying for this permission. Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs⚔ 08:24, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

User:ExplorerofSpace

[edit]

A little bit ago I made a request (which was declined - account new), I am again requesting this right because:

-My account is now over a month old

-My account is extended confirmed

-Lately, I have run across a lot of fine pending changes edits, but I can not approve them only revert them

As you can see, the main thing I do on Wikipedia is revert vandalism, you noted I should be a little more careful in doing so, which is what I did.

I think this right would allow me to reduce backlog, and do something I like (reverting vandalism) in a different way.

As you can see, I am also requesting the rollback right, which would help me with this process as while as reverting vandalism in general.

Whatever the outcome is, thank you. If it is not done, please provide me with steps I can take to get approved. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 00:29, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

User:SI09

[edit]

Hi, I tend to do a fair amount of RC Patrolling and therefore fairly regularly encounter edits requiring pending changes approval. I figured that since I'm reading and reviewing these edits anyway to assess for vandalism/need for reversion, it would probably be more efficient if I could also approve the good edits rather than a second pair of eyes needing to come by to do that. I've done a lot of RC Patrol over a long time, with a bit of article improvement work as I go along, so I'm quite familiar with the core policies relevant to reviewing, and I know where to find them if I happen to not remember one off-hand. I also do remember what starting out editing Wikipedia felt like and the excitement of an edit on a big page getting a speedy approval, and I'd like to do the same for the newcomers.

You are a pretty new user and your talk page is full of unattended user warnings and concerns. You also seem to be very proactive in sending articles to RFPP, for example, you requested to protect The Pokémon Company yesterday but it is nowhere close to persistent disruption.

I’d like to expand my capabilities in regards to fighting vandalism and generally unproductive editing. Having recently gained rollback rights, I believe both would be useful when handling AV work while I patrol recent changes. I do understand the basics of copyvio, as well as a better understanding of the need for properly sourcing additions, and in general, handling vandals and disruptive editors. Happy to receive any constructive feedback if deemed appropriate.   haj • talk   01:24, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello there, I am requesting rollback permission. With my contributions, I am particular with BLP articles. I know what unconstructive edits are. I read the guidelines, and I am also aware of what the difference is between good faith and disruptive. I do, but I'm not very good at patrolling recent changes due to my devices' capabilities, but I want to contribute to decreasing vandalism in Wikipedia to the best that I can. I have read the guidelines for rollback permission, and I guarantee you that I will have the responsibility of having this permission. Thank you. - ArćRèv • talk 11:34, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello! As I started to edit in Wikipedia (music), I have seen a lot of vadalisms (or bad edits) from some articles. But if one user spoiled it by multiple times, I have to rollback one by one, which takes a lot of time. So I request this permisson to make rollback for vadal easier, thanks!

User:Fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four

[edit]

Rollback would allow me to more effectively revert bad edits found on patrol. I'm familiar with policy and have been using UltraViolet's pseudo-rollback to assist with reverts, always making sure to leave a descriptive edit summary and a relevant message on a user's talk when appropriate. Unfortunately I've encountered intermittent issues with uv's pseudo-rollback where it'll fail to apply or take a long time to complete. I believe being able to access rollback proper would resolve this. Additionally, I'd like to try some of the more bespoke patrolling tools like AntiVandal or Huggle, both of which require the rollback permission. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 00:19, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

I was graciously referred here by Myrealnamm. My primary focus on Wikipedia is anti-vandalism work, so rollback would naturally be useful for me.
