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: Unsourced edits by an IP address PawPatroler (talk) 16:59, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Repeated addition of dubiously sourced critiques and attacks on a BLP. Would need full protection for a time - David Gerard (talk) 18:55, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection.

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.

Reason: It has been 11 years since this page was semi protected. The tournament itself held 15 years ago, so I don't think the page will be very popular or vandalized. Also, articles about the next two editions—2014 FIFA World Cup & 2018 FIFA World Cup—are not protected. Therefore, I suggest we cn try to remove the protection and see what happened. The Seal F1 (talk) 14:03, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

Seems reasonable to me. Could you try discussion with the protecting admin first? If they decline or take more than a few days to respond, your welcome to ask me to review or re-request here. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:26, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
Hi. The administrator who protected that page has made only a few edits over the past month — all of them related to "cleaning up" their talk page, so I'm not sure if this is a good idea. That's why Im asking here.The Seal F1 (talk) 15:52, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
It's not uncommon for admins to be inactive for a month but still respondent to pings. I figured we should attempt a ping. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:58, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

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.

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

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)

 Done You've created an astonishing 80+ articles in the last two years, none of which have been deleted. A cursory review of a sample of BLPs finds no issues. You have a clean block log. In my opinion, granting Autopatrolled will benefit the workload of the NPP. Chetsford (talk) 16:13, 1 June 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)

Throughthemind I think this would be a good idea to grant you Autopatrolled and you pass all the checks except one: I need to look at a sample of BLPs you've created. You're such a prolific writer, however, that I can't really comb through all your articles. Can you identify 3-5 BLPs you created in response to this message and ping me? Chetsford (talk) 19:19, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
 Done Disregard, I found. Chetsford (talk) 19:40, 1 June 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)

 Done Looks good. Chetsford (talk) 16:05, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Came across FromCzech in New Page Review and I wondered how this user is not already autopatrolled! Has created 165 mainspace pages with none deleted. Creates problem-free pages on notable topics with appropriate sources, including SIGCOV for athletes. Creates talk pages and selects useful categories. Already has the Page Mover perm; I think granting AP will assist with reducing the backlog for reviewers. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:25, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

 Done Yes, I'm familiar with FromCzech's work and granting them Autopatrolled (whether they want it or not) would cut down NPP workload as their contributions are always par superior. (Indeed, they've improved many of my own articles.) Thank you for observing this oversight, Dclemens1971. Chetsford (talk) 16:02, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
The user has created an impressive total of 834 articles so far, with only five deletions. Given this strong track record, I believe they fully deserve autopatrolled rights. Thank you. Baqi:) (talk) 20:11, 1 June 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)

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

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)
Sorry, to clarify, I mean if Linkin Prankster or Roman Reigns Fanboy come online we'll have to block Supreme Rankling (not Linkin Prankster or Roman Reigns). So just make sure you don't have any autofill passwords for either of those accounts on your devices. In any case, please ping me on or after June 2 and I'll add EC to your account as per above. Chetsford (talk) 14:41, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
Okay, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Thanks. I contacted Wikimedia but they told me they can't help me recover my account. I have no way to regain access. Supreme Rankling (talk) 15:31, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
Yes, I understand that. So just ping me on or after June 2 and we'll go from there. Chetsford (talk) 15:44, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
@Chetsford: just curious - why are you planning to do a temporary grant? Are you planning to review before re-granting permanently? stwalkerster (talk) 16:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
A cursory review. I just want to make sure the account doesn't become a sleeper after getting EC. Chetsford (talk) 16:38, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
Sounds good - it initially sounded like you were going to do a temporary grant then allow the automatic grant to occur (which wouldn't actually work due to how EC is configured). Seems like you have a plan though :) stwalkerster (talk) 17:00, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
No, that was me - I probably didn't word it very coherently! Chetsford (talk) 17:07, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

@Chetsford: 2 June has arrived and I've kept editing articles since then. I request that you please grant me access to extended-confirmed permissions so I can edit articles that require such permissions. I've tried everything but it looks like I'll never be able to recover my old accounts. Also please block both User:Linkin Prankster and User:Roman Reigns Fanboy if you think it is necessary. Thanks in advance. Supreme Rankling (talk) 01:49, 2 June 2025 (UTC)


Reason for requesting extended confirmed rights


Dear administrators,

I am requesting extended confirmed rights. Since being unblocked, I have made over 500 edits, including the creation and improvement of several articles with a focus on building content, adding citations, and correcting issues

I want to acknowledge that I was previously blocked for gaming the system. At the time, I misunderstood the importance of acting in good faith and respecting community norms. Since the block, I’ve taken time to understand policies like WP:CONSENSUS, WP:NOTHERE, and WP:GAME. I now realize that trying to “work around” the rules damages trust and collaboration.

I’ve worked to improve not just the quantity, but the quality of my contributions. I will avoid contentious edits, engage constructively on talk pages when needed, and take care to follow Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines.

I am committed to editing in good faith and maintaining a respectful and policy-compliant presence on Wikipedia going forward.

Thank you for considering my request.


Thank you, @Broskalitre

Requests for mass message sender

Mass message sender

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)

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

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.

Thank you for your contributions and your interest in this permission. Unfortunately, while your understanding of notability guidelines seems strong, you approved several articles with clear signs of COI editing without identifying it: Kirkland Smith, NoBudge, and Ken Nohara. At a minimum, you should have left a notice for the article creator, and possibly further tagging or draftifying may have been warranted.  Not done, but do consider reapplying for a trial in the future. signed, Rosguill talk 17:20, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
Understood, thanks. But Kirkland Smith was created by a 2012-registered user with 19 page creations, NoBudge was written promotionally, but that's because it was AI-generated (100% on GPTZero). I cleaned it up and then accepted as it meets our notability requirements. The account for Ken Nohara was also not compromised at the time. None of these seemed clear COI to me, so just wanted to ask where you're coming from for future reference. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 10:30, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
CherryPie94, the main tipoff for Kirkland Smith is the infobox image credit, whereas for NoBudge the creator's edit history is textbook WP:SPA. On review, you're right that at the time you reviewed Ken Nohara, the account had not yet been globally locked (although my understanding is that the global lock was itself in response to the creation of that article after an extended period of inactivity). signed, Rosguill talk 16:20, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
@Rosguill: I'm more on the side of AGF, Aaton LTR 54 has since been contributing to other film-related articles, I've seen many innocently AI-generated articles, and Strongsolar is likely from South Carolina, maybe took the shot at an event etc., and regardless isn't violating WP:NOT. I'll take more care into image credits in the future though. Totally chill without the role, happy with a trial if that's more comfortable, just want to gauge how strict reviewing should be. Also just FYI I think the global lock was a part of this. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 18:01, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
those seem like fair justifications, I'll go ahead and extend another month of trial Done signed, Rosguill talk 19:22, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

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)

Hi there - seeking a third renewal of the expired patrolled status. I understand my patrol activity has been light so no issues with it being time limited.

Thank you for your contributions and your interest in this permission. On reviewing your track record, while your understanding of notability guidelines is strong, I'm concerned by some neutrality and COI concerns you let slip by. Srideep Bhattacharya, Swami Medhananda, Bishwambhar Pyakurel, Tej Narayan Singh (social worker), Nima Rinji Sherpa, Kaushala Prasad Mishra, and Pandit Pradeep Mishra all appear to have signs of COI which you do not appear to have tagged or otherwise followed up on during review. Nandan Van Zoo, meanwhile, has pretty serious neutrality issues that are apparent from just a quick glance at the article's text and references. Thus, I'm going to mark this  Not done, but do consider reapplying for a trial in the future. signed, Rosguill talk 19:14, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

I noted in my prior extension of the trial run that there were issues with spotting promotional articles, and this is a concern in this trial run as well, in particular City Sightseeing Cape Town and CambriLearn. It's a rather small proportion of your reviewed articles, so I'm going to extend the trial again, but I specifically want to see improvement in this area.  Done signed, Rosguill talk 20:01, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I’m requesting the New Page Reviewer right as I’ve become increasingly active in creating and improving Wikipedia articles—especially within the music and hip-hop categories. I’m familiar with notability guidelines (WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO), reliable sources policies, and standards around promotional tone and sourcing.

I’ve already made several constructive contributions to new pages, and I’d like to help with patrolling to ensure that new content meets Wikipedia’s quality standards. I understand the importance of identifying spam, copyright violations, and non-notable subjects early on. I also want to support new editors by providing constructive feedback where possible.

Please consider my request for this permission so I can contribute more effectively to Wikipedia’s maintenance efforts. Thank you!

Requests for page mover

Page mover

The primary case where I want to move pages that I am unable to move with my current permissions is to bring them to the title preferred under the guideline WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA (in a nutshell: when a genus has a single species, Wikipedia covers the genus and species in a single article under the genus title). I regularly come across animal articles where a monotypic genus redirects to a species title, and there are just 2-3 edits to the genus title (generally the second edit is adding {{R from monotypic taxon}} and then maybe another edit adding other categories to the genus redirect).

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

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)

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)
