Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
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: The protection is no longer necessary because ....... this page has been spammed for 5 years ago and protected in 2020 . 2001:44C8:4446:6855:B0EE:C038:4F25:5742 (talk) 11:31, 6 February 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

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.


"prompting Israeli forces to fight back and apply the Hannibal Directive against its own citizens.[78][79][80] The clash resulted in the deaths of 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals, including 815 civilians.[81][82] After"

CORRECTION:

". The attack resulted in the deaths of 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals, including 815 civilians.[81][82] There were accusations that Israel applied the Hannibal Directive against its own soldiers.[78][79][80] After"

Reason: Accuracy. The corrected form is what the provided sources support. The sources (and the directive) refer to soldiers, not civilians. Further, while sources for accusations are valid, the sources clearly frame this as a potential accusation rather than an establishment of fact, which the article's current phrasing misrepresents.

Autopatrolled

[edit]

I've seen this editor's work on multiple occasions at New Page Review. Has created 208 pages, none deleted, more than 3/4 of them B-class. High-quality page creation with infoboxes, quality references with proper formatting, images, etc., requiring no cleanup by reviewers. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm concerned that many of the articles on lifeboat stations don't meet GNG. After looking at a random sampling of them, most of them cite the Lifeboat Enthusiasts Society (of which Martin states they are a member of on their talk page), which appears to be an WP:SPS, and The Lifeboat, a publication of the RNLI, which is not an independent source. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:15, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I would have thought the same thing when I first encountered these articles, but there are several independent published sources on these lifesaving stations. Whenever I've done a BEFORE search on one, I always find GNG-qualifying sourcing. This came up in an AfD for one of Ojsyork's creations last year (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bamburgh Castle Lifeboat Station), which resulted in a "keep". Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:21, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
 Done. This one has been sitting for a while. I sampled a good portion here, and they seemed to meet WP:N just about. I'm assigning temporary AP as the AfD Dclemens linked didn't show a good understanding of N back then, and I don't have much to go on in terms of development since, as Ojsyork hasn't participated at AfD since.. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 18:27, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights I have created almost 50 articles and whilst producing these articles I have developed my understanding of wikipedia policies, conformed with the rules for biographies of living persons and have improved the content and formatting of numerous articles. SDGB1217 (talk) 14:46, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi User:SDGB1217. Very impressed with your work on these biographies, you're working fast and are finding important gaps in our coverage. I'm leaning against assigning AP for now, as I have some concerns around WP:text-source integrity. For instance, in Ursula Chikane, one source doesn't fully support the preceding paragraph. Is it cited elsewhere? In Deise Nunes, the sources for personal life are not in the right place (the Pele source doesn't support the preceding relationship to Iglesias, and doesn't mention she was engaged with Pélé). The next source uses the phrase "had a brief engagement" with, which is ambiguous and does not have to mean they were engaged. Could you move the sources in the right place, and possibly find a source that is more clear around whether they were engaged to be married or simply "engaged". The convention is to place the source directly after the text it's supporting. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:39, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, I've made those changes, is there anything else I can address to be granted the autopatrolled rights? I hope to reduce the workload on reviewers. SDGB1217 (talk) 22:09, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I have created 75+ articles, since I got autopatrolled mostly focusing on television series. For transparency, I'm still working on the feedback received from @Schwede66 in my last request. And I intent to keep doing the good work. Thanks for your consideration. Wishing the community a prosperous new year. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 06:56, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Could you please point to where the date of birth of Gautam Vig is referenced, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:14, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Schwede66, I hope you enjoyed your vacation. I have sourced the DOB in the early life section as per WP:INFOBOXREF. I followed the editing style of Geniac, the way he improved Sheezan Khan and tried adapting the same. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:48, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, I had a fab wee holiday. I don't understand your answer. I see that there is one ref in the infobox, and that reference does confirm the date of birth, but it is attached to the spouse only. Could you please explain what you mean, and how the referencing confirms the date of birth, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:59, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Schwede66 In the above mentioned article I have sourced the date of birth in the Early life section, see here. And the spouse's source is just about their marriage. I'm following the editing style of Geniac, the improvement he did in one of my previously created article see here. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 09:38, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Sorry, which reference states the date of Vig's date of birth? I cannot see it. Schwede66 18:29, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Schwede66, I have used two sources for DOB, Colors TV and India Today. You can find both the sources in the Early life section. Hope it helps, if you still can't verify the birth date, you're most welcome to remove it. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 18:50, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
@C1K98V Is it just me or the webpage you're linking to from colorstv.com is redirecting to a /mena/ directory making it impossible to see what you're talking about or citing. As for the indiatoday.in, you did not initially position the citation as of when Schwede66 started reviewing your request, you only repositioned the citation today. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi Vanderwaalforces, I'm not sure if the Colorstv website works outside of India. Let's wait for Schwede66 to confirm if they're able to verify it. I'm sharing a screenshot of the website for reference [1]. While searching for sources related to their academics, I found IndiaToday and added it later in the Early life section. I repositioned the named citation as I wanted to highlight it for Schwede66, so I left an edit summary too. Thanks for your consideration. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 03:43, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) I can access the colorstv source and confirm that it mentions Gautam Vig's date of birth. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Concise, well-written and sufficiently articles, mostly with a royal or Church of England focus. I looked at an articles of theirs as part of NPP, and found it to be up to standard without editing. Others look reasonable too. Klbrain (talk) 12:15, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

It is my 8th year of editing (4th with this account). I have written a number of articles of various types and none have been permanently deleted.

@Ahecht, ah, apologies. I didn't realize a "request moves" page existed, and I do not have move or merge permissions. I was simply undoing something that wasn't correct... hence why I requested move perms earlier so I could fix it. Ali Beary (talk) 12:38, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
@Ahecht just curious, would you object to a grant here? If so this should be declined for now. Otherwise I'd consider granting since PCR is a pretty newbie-friendly permission. Elli (talk | contribs) 17:35, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Rollback

[edit]

I am requesting rollback rights because I spend most of my time on Wikipedia reverting vandalism, and I would like to help fight vandals more effectively. I have made some mistakes, but I mostly have a good understanding of Wikipedia policies, and I try to always WP:AGF. Rollback will also allow me to use tools like AntiVandal. Thank you. Protobowladdict (talk) 16:51, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

I would like to request rollback permission to help combat vandalism, particularly in Nepal-related articles, which I frequently come across while patrolling recent changes. Having rollback rights would allow me to efficiently revert obvious and disruptive edits, improving the quality of affected pages. I always assume good faith and am careful when reviewing edits. If I am uncertain whether an edit is vandalism, I do not revert it. I am also familiar with Wikipedia’s warning templates and know when it is appropriate to report persistent vandals to WP:AIV. I believe rollback will be a valuable tool in my efforts to maintain Wikipedia’s integrity, and I will use it responsibly. Thank you for your time and consideration. Rahmatula786 (talk) 15:49, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm requesting this right to revert vandalism from the all the articles on Wikipedia, especially India related articles. I'm also patrolling recent changes from when I started i.e. almost a month.Xiphoid Vigour ༈Duel༈ 05:53, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

I have been actively combating vandalism on Wikipedia for some time, especially Taiwan related articles. I regularly monitor recent changes and undo obvious vandalism while ensuring that good-faith edits are not mistakenly removed. Having rollback rights would allow me to revert vandalism more efficiently, especially on high-traffic pages. I am familiar with Wikipedia’s policies on vandalism, edit warring, and proper rollback usage, and I will use the tool responsibly to help maintain the integrity of the encyclopedia.

Hi, I would like to request rollback rights as I have been patrolling on Wikipedia for a while, finding vandals, and I would like to have the ability to use rollback to revert their edits more effectively (as I have had a couple where I had to undo lots of small edits and it took up lots of my time). Thanks, ScrabbleTiles (talk) 16:01, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

 Not done Hello User:ScrabbleTiles. Usually, we expect users to have at least 200 edits to mainspace. I would like to see you understand warnings a bit better for isntance before giving rollback. At User talk:OKTO on 6, you have a level-1 warning and only warning in rapid succession. Of course, a second warning can't be an only warning, so a level-2 warning would have been more appropriate (or none, as they may not have noticed the first warning immediately). In the meantime, you can already install WP:Twinkle to combat vandalism more effectively. You're on the right track, so feel free to come back in a few weeks when you've hit the threshold. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:13, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for that. I went straight to 4 because their edits were very disruptive and I didn’t see any constructive edit coming from them but in the future, I will be more forgiving. I will request again once I have reached the threshold. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 19:17, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
@ScrabbleTiles: just so you know, there is a difference between level 4 last warning and only warning. Assuming level 4 was correct, this situation called for a final warning instead —Femke 🐦 (talk) 17:33, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm requesting rollback to help me revert vandalism better. I've been using Twinkle for a while now, but in a few cases the proper rollback toll would have been more useful. I think I only revert blatant vandalism, as I prefer accuracy over volume. Mainly, it would be another tool in the kit. LightlySeared (talk) 10:04, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

I do not foresee using the Rollback function very much, but it would be useful, from time to time, for undoing vandalism or seriously botched edits. I've been on the English Wikipedia since 2013. It'd be more convenient, at least, than copy pasting the entirety of an old version of an article—something I've done in the past. I hope you will consider my request. Thank you.

I am kindly requesting rollback permissions for myself, in order to revert vandalism using the Huggle tool. Dell Latitude E6400 (talk) 16:50, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Template editor

[edit]

I have been working on creating and expanding articles related to baseball and softball teams, mainly from Latin America and Europe. Since these articles heavily rely on Module:Sports color, which is protected, to properly display team colors in infoboxes and other tables, I would like to request the rights to edit this protected module. I have requested several edits to this specific module in the past; however, I believe it would be more efficient if I could make these edits myself.

In the past, I have created and worked on different modules and templates related to other topics that interest me, such as public transportation and other sports (e.g., Module:Adjacent stations/Mexico City Metro, Module:Adjacent stations/Prague Metro, Template:Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional, Template:Hiroshima Toyo Carp managers). If administrators would consider it appropriate, I am also open to a temporary grant of editing rights to continue improving these articles.

Thanks in advance. Cocu15 (talk) 22:59, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm on the fence a little here; while there are non-trivial edit requests, there doesn't seem to be any indication that interests lie outwith a very small group of pages.
The subpages of modules like Module:Sports color are just variables, any vandalism to the templates will only cause an error output, not propagate any serious harm to the main pages. I wonder if dropping the protection level of those supbages to ECP, similar to Module:Political party would be more effective since these types of modules seem to be heavily requested by folks wanting to update them. I speak personally here that not having the political party module protected has been a huge save of my time and effort as I only need to double-check new entries rather than spend ages answering edit requests.
