Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Reason: High level of IP Vandalisms and arbitrary removal of contents. Of course no ref is added for such things Riktetta (talk) 08:40, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

DeclinedWarn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. I have already given them the first warning. Daniel Case (talk) 19:49, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: All content added to the page are from reliable sources. But others keep reverting and deleting my edits even though i provided correct reference links. Its my sister's page and all details enclosed in it are reliable. Gadde.ruthvika (talk) 09:25, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

I can provide proofs for details that are enclosed in the page. Gadde.ruthvika (talk) 09:27, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Declined On Wikipedia we follow strict policies regarding content, especially biographies of the living people. Every claim should be supported by independent reliable source. Even if it's true it's not enough for Wikipedia. Also if you are closely connected to the subject of the article, you are strongly recommended to avoid editing and you should disclose this on the talk page. If you are a sister of the subject please work with other users so the information is neutral and supported by the sources. Less Unless (talk) 18:08, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Permanent semi-protection: Continued high level of IP vandalism. Sutyarashi (talk) 13:05, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

User(s) blocked: 59.103.195.78 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for 72 hours. Will also leave CTOPS notice on talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 20:09, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Subject to WP:CT/A-I restrictions, as the catalyst to the riots was the Gaza War, I believe it relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted. AlexandraAVX (talk) 17:00, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. No edits in two months before yours, and historical events generally have less nexus to the current conflict to justify the kind of protection you're requesting. Daniel Case (talk) 20:35, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – For months, incorrect edits have been made on page, to which I have reverted and updated properly. I have warned user each time, however the IP address changes slightly each time. This is highly disruptive as it means currently reverting approximately edits each week and then having to re-edit. These details can be found on history page. I am also requesting this protection for each Coventry City player for the near future. Telfordbuck (talk) 18:20, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Niasoh ❯❯❯ Wanna chat? 18:51, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will leave CTOPS notice on talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 21:12, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: In the wake of his controversial January 2025 arrest, requesting temporary semi-protection to prevent unregistered accounts and IPs from vandalising or inserting false/misleading information on a high-profile BLP article, until more information is released. Per WP:BLPCRIME. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 18:58, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It looks like you've got things under control for now. Daniel Case (talk) 21:20, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High levels of sockpuppetry. 134.6.109.138 (talk) 19:10, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. Apparently we still need this. Daniel Case (talk) 21:24, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 21:27, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent IP disruption. One IP already got blocked for disrupting the article and another IP came to continue it. StephenMacky1 (talk) 19:57, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:05, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: The request was done by me today, and instead of semi-protection one IP was blocked. However, now, the article has been attacked by a set of new IPs. Jingiby (talk) 20:21, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
    Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will also leave CTOPS notice on talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 21:29, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: An IP is engaging in disruptive editing by evading their block and altering the party affiliations of members, which does not align with the National Assembly source. This action constitutes a WP:BLPVIO. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 20:05, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will also leave CTOPS notice on talk per WP:CT/IPA. Daniel Case (talk) 21:34, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of unconstructive, unsourced & untrue/speculative disruptive editing from IP editors. Semi-protection may help cut this down. BarntToust 20:52, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 21:37, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced content from IPs. HorrorLover555 (talk) 21:26, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 21:40, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Just updated this article to add criminal convictions. Based on edit history by multiple IPs and new accounts, I suspect the subject monitors this article and has edited it in the past. ECP for a month or so seems appropriate to prevent edit warring, whitewashing and vandalism. Montanabw(talk) 21:29, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It also sounds like you're asking for pre-emptive protection, which outside of new ARBPIA articles we don't grant. Daniel Case (talk) 21:42, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

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.


Genocide Watch states that: „A genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel is underway in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister General Yoav Gallant have demonstrated their intent to destroy a substantial portion of the civilian population of Gaza. Israel is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza. It is also committing crimes against humanity against Palestinians in the West Bank.” See https://www.genocidewatch.com/single-post/genocide-emergency-gaza-and-the-west-bank-2024 This information should be added to first paragraph of Gaza_genocide#NGOs_and_intergovernmental_organisations Jakub Onderka (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

WP:PERM

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

To support WP:JAN25 I'd ideally like to be contributing to reducing the backlog as opposed to contributing to increasing the backlog at the same time. Overall in the last 25+ BLP articles I've created, there have been few to no edits made by NPR, aside from typos, grammar, and duplicate words. The first handful lacked certain templates, categories, default sorting, talk page banners, and the usual technical parts of articles, but I've since got to grips with including these. Since then I've only moved my drafts to mainspace, or created in mainspace, when I'm confident that there is enough SIGCOV and structure, and otherwise "incubate" articles not quite ready in draft space if not. I otherwise create quite a few redirects, with one disambiguated, and one batch up for discussion, but otherwise none deleted so far. Thanks for considering. CNC (talk) 12:40, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done – Joe (talk) 08:09, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

An experienced editor with around 600 pages created, with few deleted; I've reviewed pages that they have created as part of NPP and they reach the standard expected without intervention. Klbrain (talk) 09:59, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Has created more than 200 articles, with none having been deleted. As part of NPP, I reviewed a recent creation, and found it to be complete without the need for editing. Reviewing other pages, they look to be similarly appropriate. Klbrain (talk) 09:59, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights

Hi, I would like to request this right because I have met the criteria for 25 articles that are free of problems. I would like to use it for my interest in WikiProject Korea. You can see all of articles i've created here! :) Aidillia(talk) 07:08, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) In Buried Hearts, there's a bit of mess with the history, seeing that it was first deleted but later recreated and then expanded, this time, with copyright violations which remained not until GreenLipstickLesbian fixed and requested a revision deletion today. Checking through some other creations revealed some issues like grammar errors. Things like these are what the NPP is for, and English Wikipedia is not ready to keep copyvios on the site, not ever.
It also appears to be that Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin had copyvio issues, which GLL fixed too. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:04, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Well, I don't know if translating from a website is forbidden, because a few months ago, there was someone who reverted my edit because of no reliable sources for the description I wrote myself. So after that, what was included in the sources I used. Many people I see do that. And now I know I'm trying to remove it as much as possible and do some fixing. Aidillia(talk) 11:30, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Meets the minimum criteria, and the majority of their creations have passed a quality content review. It's been a little bit since the last creation, but I believe this editor has demonstrated enough familiarity with the policies and guidelines surrounding new articles that input from NPP will not be needed in the future.

Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

Reason for Request: I am requesting reinstatement of Extended Confirmed Rights after their removal by User:ScottishFinnishRadish for concerns related to "gaming EC through adding a machine translation of Fondation Maeght and Rueil-Malmaison in many small edits without attribution." He asked me to "make at least a few hundred edits" to regain it. Since the removal, I have added attribution to the concerned articles. I have made over 600 referenced contributions, focusing on adding reliable sources to improve verifiability, expanding content in alignment with Wikipedia’s standards, and enhancing article quality. I believe my recent contributions demonstrate constructive and policy-compliant editing.

Examples of Recent Contributions: Foucault pendulum, Water metering, Smart meter, and Gas meter. My recent edits also contributed significantly to upgrading the article History of the Jews in Tunisia from "Start-Class" to "B-Class." Michael Boutboul (talk) 12:28, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Boutboul, are you using AI (such as ChatGPT or similar tools) to write your talk page messages and permission requests? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi @ToBeFree,
I use ChatGPT from time to time to translate sentences or correct English syntax, as English is not my mother tongue. I also used an LLM to translate French Wikicode into English Wikicode; it’s much faster than doing it manually.
Have you had the opportunity to check some of my edits? They are far from perfect, but I really try to follow Wikipedia standards (Verifiability, No Original Research, Follow Style Guidelines, etc.). I’m genuinely puzzled—I don’t understand why they are not considered valuable enough to regain my extended confirmed rights. I’ve been a Wikipedia member since 2006, with more than 900 edits in English and over 1,500 edits in total.
Thanks for your time and interest. Michael Boutboul (talk) 10:08, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
From their last post to their talk, @Boutboul seems interested in CT areas. I have concerns about the EC request given other issues raised on their Talk. Courtesy ping @ScottishFinnishRadish who removed initially. Star Mississippi 17:39, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
They're also continuing to translate from French Wikipedia without proper attribution, e.g. here. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:51, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
I properly attributed the translation by adding the template to the main page. However, a bot moved it to the talk page. I even explained this in a discussion topic on the talk page. Translation is not prohibited; in fact, it is encouraged by Wikipedia. Michael Boutboul (talk) 20:27, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
(b) Place the {{Translated page}} template on the target article's talk page, for example: emphasis mine. Nor did you attribute it in the edit summary as required: Add a statement to the edit summary of the target article of your translation providing translation attribution to the authors of the source article, including an interlanguage link to the source (translated-from) article. Example: This continued misunderstanding plus the LLM usage does not inspire confidence that they're ready to have E/C restored. They're welcome to edit in other areas but I explicitly do not think they're ready for CTs. Star Mississippi 20:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Firstly, I am not sure why you are using the plural for me. I am the only one making all the edits, and my pronoun is 'he'.
Secondly, I have attributed the text to a French translation in several edit summaries, for example, here and here. I may have forgotten some instances. However, if I am not mistaken, there is no rule stating that an editor must make no mistakes when editing to regain Extended Confirmed Rights. Furthermore, the quality of the translation is sufficient, as other editors appreciated it and upgraded the article from Start-Class to B-Class.
In addition, using an LLM for translation, syntax correction, or any other purpose is not forbidden.
It therefore seems that a decision not to reassign the Extended Confirmed rights would be arbitrary. Michael Boutboul (talk) 10:24, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Using third-person gender-neutral pronouns is pretty common and normal online. I have a question for you Michael out of interest. If you acquire the EC privilege, will you use it to advocate on behalf of any of the parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict, thus violating WP:NOTADVOCATE and the part of the Wikimedia Universal Code of Conduct that prohibits "Systematically manipulating content to favour specific interpretations of facts or points of view"? The reason I ask is that using extended confirmed privileges that way is puzzlingly common in the WP:PIA topic area, and I wondered whether you have considered these constraints. Sean.hoyland (talk) 10:36, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
@Sean.hoyland, Thank you for your constructive message. I believe that we all interact, on all sorts of topics, with our biases; we all have biases. I also believe that the beauty of Wikipedia lies in collectively building reliable content, based on discussions grounded in valid sources, despite everyone's individual biases. This is the mindset in which I wish to use my Extended Confirmed Rights. Michael Boutboul (talk) 11:38, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Is there something preventing you from simply stating that you will not (consciously anyway) advocate on behalf of any of the parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict? Is it an unrealistic expectation given the nature of the topic area? That is what I would have done by the way, provided assurance that I'm not a potential disruption vector in a contentious topic area. And then try to make a case for restoration of EC rights on that basis. Of course, if you did that, you would probably the first editor in Wikipedia's history to do so. Feel free to ignore my questions by the way. I'm just interested in things that might help to depolarize the topic area, like explicit commitments to not advocate on behalf of parties to the conflict (although I'm aware that the adversarial nature of the topic area might, under certain circumstances, help to increase the quality of content). Sean.hoyland (talk) 11:26, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Like any contributor on Wikipedia, I respect the platform's core principles, rules, and best practices to the best of my knowledge. Specifically, I strive to avoid advocating for any side and ensure that both my contributions and those of others align with the principle of neutrality of point of view (NPOV).
Since you raise the topic, I believe the best way to depolarize a contentious area is to acknowledge that every party involved inherently has its own biases.
Anyway, your concern is far from that of ScottishFinnishRadish and Star Mississippi. Michael Boutboul (talk) 18:30, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
@Star Mississippi, have you reviewed my edits? Could you please clearly explain your concerns? No one has provided a clear explanation for refusing to reassess my extended confirmed rights. Additionally, @ScottishFinnishRadish made an incorrect statement regarding proper attribution for translations. Michael Boutboul (talk) 20:40, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to help out with the NPP backlog drive. I believe I fit all the minimum guidelines; I have a good knowledge of Wikipedia's guidelines and policies and sufficient experience with quality control processes, as I engage with the deletion process, especially PROD and CSD, whenever possible and I help out WikiProjects by writing new articles. I try my best to communicate in a civil manner with editors in communication.

I would very much like to remain a New Page Patroller, please, and to have the three-month period extended indefinitely. I greatly enjoy this aspect of being a Wikipedia editor, and believe that I have made a very positive contribution. In the three months since my NPP rights were last discussed, I have marked as reviewed several hundred pages, some of which I had to edit quite a bit to get them into appropriate shape and others which were created so well that they were really good without me having to do much or anything. I have of course reflected a lot on how best to go about this important task, and to minimize my errors and weak judgements. I am far more cautious than before, and consequently I have actually marked as reviewed far fewer pages per week than I did before. Indeed, when patrolling new pages, I often edit pages for hours each day without marking any at all as reviewed. I am demanding a higher standard in my own mind than hitherto. This does not mean that I have not made mistakes over the last few months. I am human and have made errors. I do not believe there have been many, however, and I consider my efforts to be reliable and trustworthy, but I am disappointed in myself for making any mistakes at all. The key here is that I try hard always to learn from them and not to repeat them. I am neither proud nor disputatious, and I try to treat all fellow editors with respect and pleasantness if they highlight any issue, and I do try to absorb and begin using any and all guidance that I receive. I respectfully ask my fellow editors to see that any errors over the last three months have been very few, and that by percentage of the pages I have edited or marked as reviewed, the errors are a tiny percent, thus establishing me as dependable and trustworthy. I have gratefully received several barnstars for my patrolling throughout this period. I repeat that I regret getting anything wrong at all and aim for zero errors. I am committed to this standard.

(Non-administrator comment) After the ANI thread that caused BTKCD's right to be revoked, I raised concerns and Barkeep49 found them reasonable to give BTKCD a three-month trial reinstatement. I mentioned that during this time, I'd personally watch BTKCD's reviews myself. I am proud to say that he has improved especially based on the feedback he received back then. He used tags appropriately, responded to talk page messages, etc. These are things I'd personally love to see in NPPers. I am supporting the permanence of his NPP right. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:11, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Managing the NPP backlog is something I've been doing for some time in terms of monitoring video game pages as part of WP:VG. I've been pretty extensively involved in managing drafts, particularly flagging and identifying drafts that do not meet WP:GNG or other reasons, and taking WP:DRAFTIFY, WP:PROD or WP:AFD actions for recently created articles that do not meet WP:GNG. I think the track record with WP:AFD is pretty solid even if it leans to deletionism a little. I've just realised I could be doing something more constructive and marking reviewed pages as well. Believe there was a one-month trial run I did in 2024. VRXCES (talk) 11:46, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

 Done for two months. You've mostly been active in the video game area, though it wouldn't hurt to review articles in other subject areas as well. Your AFC logs and talk page feedback for editors with drafts looks good so far, so if no issues with your reviews arise within the next two months or so, I see no problem with granting the right indefinitely.

 Automated comment An extraneous header or other inappropriate text was removed from this request MusikBot talk 15:20, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
 Not done. I don't think you have enough experience at WP:AFD yet to be considered for this user right at the moment. You've participated in less than 10 AfDs in total, and your rationales there don't really demonstrate your understanding of our notability guidelines. This nomination doesn't explain why notability is in doubt or how and why the article doesn't meet applicable guidelines such as WP:GNG or this WP:SNGs, and this other recent nomination says that the article should be deleted because it has no references. Notability isn't about the content of the article at the time it is nominated for deletion, it is about about determining whether the subject has any sources available that would warrant a separate article dedicated to it. Deletion is not cleanup, and if the subject may have sources online that cover it, it shouldn't be nominated at AfD. I suggest reading up on our guidelines around notability and re-applying for this right after a couple months of participating in AfD and other deletion venues. Fathoms Below (talk) 20:13, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

I fit the basic criteria and I think I could make a contribution here. I have a fairly good idea of my limitations and will deal with them by passing on the more difficult new page decisions.

Page mover

Have participated in handful of RMs in past year, as well as at MRV. I've only come to RMTR once, but otherwise would be useful for disambiguation purposes. As I often create the disambig first, in order to justify a page moving away from ptopic; this often leaves me with having to swap the disambig page with the redirect and visa versa afterwards, when I simply need to perform a swap. I've otherwise closed RMs before, and would probably close more that aren't too controversial, but am often restricted due to the need to overwrite a redirect. CNC (talk) 12:54, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

As someone who frequently edits and creates U.S. state legislature pages and living biographies, I strongly believe that receiving this permission will allow me to help combat vandalism, especially as the wikis of living people are often vandalized. I am 100% aware of being able to revert vandalized edits -- however, some edits are genuine, and I would love to help out in that domain of expertise. WormEater13 (talk) 14:04, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback

I would like to request rollback rights to combat vandalism more efficiently. I am an experienced recent changes patroller and I understand that the rollback should be used mainly for clear cases of vandalism. I am committed to using this tool responsibly. Nxcrypto Message 12:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi NXcrypto, please undo Special:Diff/1265567139 and respond to Worldbruce's concern. It doesn't look like the worst kind of edit warring I've ever seen, but Worldbruce was concerned about it without being involved in the reverting, so you should probably take a moment to address their concerns instead of throwing them away. The edit summary of Special:Diff/1265564114 indicates that their primary concern is you not (yet?) using the article's talk page. If that's true, perhaps change it or announce that you are not longer interested and disengage from the conflict. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:13, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Reverted and replied on both venues, talk page[7] and article talk page.[8] Thanks. Nxcrypto Message 00:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

I edit mostly in academic philosophy and closely adjacent areas. Twinkle is adequate for the vandalism that I encounter in articles on my watchlist. I read Wikipedia more broadly, however, and might be more active in assisting with general anti-vandalism efforts with the help of tools such as Huggle that make this easier to do, but which require rollback privileges to use (this would be the case especially if any of them make it easier to do in a responsible way on a tablet, rather than at the desktop I use for regular editing). I've been bitten as a newbie, and am alert lest I do this to anyone else. Wikipedia's coverage of the humanities is, to put it generously, uneven. On the few occasions I've encountered someone new with obvious subject-matter expertise who is making problematic, but good-faith edits, I have made a deliberate effort to welcome them, offer information, and protect them from more aggressive defenders of guidelines and policies (who might turn them off Wikipedia before they even have a chance to learn the basics, which are in some ways quite at odds with academic norms). This is just to say that I will, of course, use manual reverts with edit descriptions and talk pages, rather than rollback or anything requiring it, except in cases of blatant vandalism or persistent abuse by editors who disregard clear and polite notices of issues with their edits. Thank you for your consideration, Patrick (talk) 03:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

I have been patrolling the recent changes page for a long time now, and it's pretty much the only thing I do on here (other then occasional copyediting.) When I learned about rollback and its benefits, I thought that could be a huge help for me and patrolling against vandalism. I love patrolling, and this will make my life so much easier.
