[edit]

I am a Wikipedia:administrator since July 5, 2004. I first contributed to Wikipedia in April of 2001 (oldest edits lost in early software upgrades). My first edit with my username appears to be on April 26. I have been active on a number of online projects - active and passive (SETI@Home, Distributed Proofreaders, Mars crater labeling, Stardust@Home, Folding@Home on the Wikipedia team: Team page, etc.)

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.

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.

Ranjith Ramasamy

[edit]

I would like to request protection for my page due to persistent vandalism and disruptive edits, particularly from anonymous users. The page has recently experienced malicious changes that appear to be targeted and coordinated, likely from individuals with a conflict of interest or intent to discredit.

To maintain the integrity of the article and prevent further disruption, I kindly request that the page be fully protected. We request a copy of the usernames and associated details of the individuals who performed the recent edits. After consulting with our legal advisors, we are considering legal action. Additionally, we would like to request the removal of the last four edits to the page, as they negatively impact our credibility. Please let us know if you require any further information from our side.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Ranjithramasamy1 (talk) 10:15, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Legal threats are not allowed on wikipedia. Additionally this is in the wrong section. Also as per Wikipedia:Ownership of content and Wikipedia:COI you can't own your own page. GalStar (talk) 17:53, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

User:BullDawg2021

[edit]

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)

User:Throughthemind

[edit]

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)

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)

User:JohnMizuki

[edit]

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)

User:FromCzech

[edit]

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)

User:Carigval.97

[edit]

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)

User:Behappyyar

[edit]

I am requesting the autopatrolled user right. I have created 86 articles so far, out of which only 2 have been deleted. Most of my articles are well-sourced biographies, mainly related to the Pakistan Army, with some focused on media personalities. I strive to follow Wikipedia’s notability and sourcing guidelines in all my contributions. Granting me autopatrolled status will help reduce the workload for new page reviewers. You may also consider taking suggestions from the reviewers (JTtheOG, John B123) who frequently review my pages, as they are familiar with the quality and consistency of my work.

User:Supreme Rankling

[edit]

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)

 Done Thanks, Supreme Rankling! I can confirm I've not heard back from either account after emailing them so I'm adding EC to your account for 45 days. At the end of 45 days, please contact me directly on my Talk page and I'll immediately make it permanent. I can't block User:Linkin Prankster or User:Roman Reigns Fanboy on the extreme off-chance these are separately controlled and they come back online, so just be certain you don't accidentally log-on to either and treat them as abandoned. Thanks again for your patience and happy editing. Chetsford (talk) 16:27, 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

 Automated comment This user has had this permission revoked in the past 180 days ([1]). — MusikBot talk 08:50, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
 Not done Hi Broskalitre: Correctly applying WP:SIG is a basic and vital element of WP. It appears you had some difficulty applying a signature in your request, in your recent message to my Talk page, and in other places as well. One generally learns SIG naturally during the first 500 edits. On that basis, I suggest you either spend another month or two editing and familiarizing yourself with Wikipedia, or complete the WP:ADVENTURE. Once either of these are done, I'm sure anyone would be happy to reapply the EC right. Chetsford (talk) 16:56, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
Ok sure. Broskalitre (talk) 17:00, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
I think I will complete this tomorrow then I will ask again. Is this okay? Broskalitre (talk) 17:04, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

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.

I was thinking a few hundred of the most active editors, not 13,000! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:03, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

Please, I've been actively contributing to Wikipedia for a year now. I'm interested in becoming a New Page Reviewer to help ensure the quality and accuracy of new content on Wikipedia. I've demonstrated my ability to review and improve articles, and I'm committed to using my New Page Reviewer tools responsibly. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to Wikipedia's quality control efforts. Thank You. 2RDD (talk) 21:58, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed there's a pretty large backlog, so I decided to volunteer. I've taken a break from my usual editing the past few days to get familiar with the NPR process. I’ve written articles on all sorts of topics, especially biographies, geography. I'm not comparatively active in AfD, but my understanding of various notability guidelines could be useful when reviewing articles. Thank you! Pasados (talk) 17:20, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting for New Page Reviewer right. I have been a Wikipedia editor for 8 years, created several articles and have also been a reader in AFD discussions. Through this, I have gained understanding of the requirements for a new page creation. I have also contributed to delete discussions and I have been known to show respect for others in such discussions. Would appreciate the opportunity to contribute further. Thanks in advance.

User:MediaKyle

[edit]
I first encountered a situation where the page mover permission would have been helpful when moving Michael Savage (politician) to Mike Savage (politician). Now as I continue developing content I ran into a situation where I need to move a ready article (Draft:Pottersfield Press) over a redirect I previously created (Pottersfield Press), and I foresee situations like this happening more, so now seems like a good time to figure out technical moves rather than continuing to ask others to do it. I intend to only use the page mover abilities for this purpose for the foreseeable future, and may start fulfilling uncontroversial move requests once I become sufficiently familiar with the process.

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 have only 450 edits - 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.

    "Do you want to take a survey?"

    [edit]

    On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.

    On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.

    Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.
