wise cleanup

Thank you for quality articles on military history such as Battle of Pocotaligo, gnomish work on articles and fighting subtle vandalism, for illustrating "wise old thing" (with a ring to it), for working on cleanup in the tavern, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced/poorly sourced and potentially defamatory content in the Personal Life section, particularly claims about an alleged marriage to Chiranjiv Makwana. This claim relies on a single questionable source (DNA India) and lacks confirmation from the subject or multiple reliable outlets, in violation of WP:BLP, WP:V, and WP:RS. Despite ongoing dispute on the talk page, User:FarmanH has repeatedly restored the material without due diligence, raising possible WP:COI/WP:PAID concerns. Given the article’s BLP status and the repeated reintroduction of the disputed content, semi-protection is needed to prevent further disruption.

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.

Request for the removal of infinite protection of pages targeted by sockpuppet

[edit]

Reason: It has been over a decade since infinite semi-protection was imposed on these pages. The actions were a counter measure against an IP hopping sockpuppet who has long been inactive. Furthermore, neither of these pages were protected prior to being indeffed — which can be interrupted as an indicator that the risk of continued vandalism is likely low. Posted here because the admin who protected these pages (Ronhjones) perished in a house fire along his wife back in 2019. Giovanni Potage (talk) 12:56, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: @Giovanni Potage: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 13:06, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
Not unprotected. The fact that there is significant, repeated, and recent vandalism in the article from sockpuppets and other miscreants suggests strongly that a higher level of protection is required, not a reduction. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:20, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja

[edit]

Reason: Page was infinitely semi-protection over a decade ago to counter the persistent attacks of an accused sockpuppet. Considering the time frame and the fact that the troll was blocked a long time ago[1], I believe continued infinite protection is unnecessary. Furthermore, the page does not have any history of protection logs prior to being indeffed — which can be interrupted as an indicator that the risk of continued vandalism is low. Posting this here since the admin who imposed the protection (Ronhjones) passed away back in 2019[2]. Giovanni Potage (talk) 13:35, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

Not unprotected but downgraded protection to PCP, which I believe was an option that didn't exist back then. If in six months or so, the article doesn't show any activity from anonymous IP addresses or unconfirmed accounts, we can revisit this and remove that protection also. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:16, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

[edit]
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
Shortcut

Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

  • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
  • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
  • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
  • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
  • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

User:Yoblyblob

[edit]

Requested this permission ~2 months ago, denied because I was mostly creating auto-notable stubs. I think I have expanded the types of articles I create, including well-sourced local pages or biographical entries where I take time to source subjects that do not inherently meet a generic notability criteria. (I still do create auto-notable pages sometimes, but those no longer make up the majority of pages I create.) As a new page reviewer, I got good experience with the notability guidelines reviewing articles during the backlog drive WP:MAY25, and also participating in AfD. Thought about requesting again as I have run into a few of my own pages while reviewing pages that are in topics I contribute to/am interested in. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Also wanted to mention that if I am unsure of a subject's notability, I will utilize WP:AFC for my own articles occasionally Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:18, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([1]). — MusikBot talk 02:20, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
Came here to request this permission for a different user, but since Yoblyblob is referencing their WP:MAY25 NPP work, it is worth noting that among the re-reviews of each patroller's work, 14/17 of their patrol decisions were approved. Of the remainder, two were drafted/redirected as WP:TOOSOON coverage of 2026 state elections and one was drafted for lacking enough coverage to qualify under WP:NEVENT. Considering they were the fifth most active patroller of the drive, this accuracy is good, not great. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 19:20, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

The sourcing provided here does not appear to meet WP:NORG, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". Can you provide sources that establish the notability of this organization? voorts (talk/contributions) 22:22, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
I agree some of the sourcing used is WP:CORPTRIV — the foundation has extensive coverage in Korea. I've just added some stronger pieces. The pre/post interview text in this Forbes feature is one with significant secondary coverage. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 05:24, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

I have created over 650 new articles and hope to continue contributing to Wikipedia and knowledge sharing. TinaLees-Jones (talk) 03:38, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

Comment: I checked three of TinaLees-Jones's recently-created articles at random. One had not yet been reviewed, so I reviewed it and found a significant issue with source-text integrity. I recommend waiting for her reply here before this request is actioned.
Separately, some of her articles have been nominated for deletion; it's hard to tell exactly how many, since her user talk page is archived by a bot, but the archives are not linked. One was recently deleted and one ended in no consensus. (I believe I have !voted in AfDs on her articles, presumably mostly to keep, but I can't tell because of the weird archiving.) I do think the vast majority of articles she creates are unquestionably notable, mostly on variations of NPOL, but as some have been questioned recently I'm not sure if granting AP now is appropriate.

User:Shahnamk

[edit]

Hello,

I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I have created around 30 well-sourced, policy-compliant articles on the English Wikipedia.

In addition to my contributions here, I am an administrator (sysop) on the Persian Wikipedia (fa.wikipedia), where I have been active for many years, focusing on content creation, vandalism control, and community support.

Granting this right would help reduce the workload of new page patrollers, as my article creations usually meet Wikipedia’s quality standards.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Best regards, Shahnamk (talk) 19:08, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I’ve created several articles, many of which are currently live and meet Wikipedia’s guidelines on notability and reliable sourcing.

I’m familiar with the key content policies such as WP:N, WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:NPOV, and consistently apply them when creating or editing articles.

I understand that this permission is intended to reduce the workload of new page reviewers by marking trusted users’ pages as reviewed automatically, and I believe my contributions demonstrate the consistency and policy alignment expected for this role.

I have not received any blocks or serious warnings, and I’m committed to continuing constructive, policy-compliant editing.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Sweetabena (talk) 23:39, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Sweetabena: I’ve gone through some of the articles you’ve created, including Daniel Dung Mahama, Simon Akibange Aworigo, Anabah Thomas Winsum, and Nikyema Billa Alamzy. I noticed that these pages have been tagged for AI-generated content (WP:LLM). Could you please clarify this? Additionally, the article on Bright Owusu has a notability issue. Have you made any efforts to address or fix that? I also noticed that most of your articles are about politicians or MPs, which is generally a relatively easier area for a New Page Patroller. Regards! Baqi:) (talk) 12:15, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Jannatulbaqi,
Thanks for your response and for reviewing my request.
I've now gone through the articles you mentioned; Daniel Dung Mahama, Simon Akibange Aworigo, Anabah Thomas Winsum, and Nikyema Billa Alamzy and made revisions to ensure they fully reflect a human-authored tone, improve clarity, and adhere to Wikipedia’s content policies. I manually wrote these articles based on reliable sources, and I’ve taken extra care to revise any sections that might have appeared too generic or AI-like in style.
Regarding Bright Owusu, I realized that the subject is better known publicly as “C-Confion,” which is the name used in most reliable sources. I initially created a redirect page under that name, and since C-Confion better reflects WP:COMMONNAME, I’ve submitted a technical move request at WP:RM/TR to move the article accordingly.
While many of my articles are in the political space, I’ve focused on that area because it's typically easier to demonstrate notability. That said, I’m open to expanding into other areas and continuing to improve the range and quality of my contributions.
I appreciate your time and consideration, and I remain committed to constructive, policy-compliant editing. Thank you so much.Sweetabena (talk) 21:05, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
I don't think answers the implicit question, Sweetabena, which is "did you use AI" in the first place? Also, I confess parts of your comment seem a little LLM-y particularly and made revisions to ensure they fully reflect a human-authored tone, improve clarity, and adhere to Wikipedia’s content policies. I manually wrote these articles based on reliable sources, and I’ve taken extra care to revise any sections that might have appeared too generic or AI-like in style, although the misuse of the semicolon before the list of articles looks like a legit human error. Please divulge the extent to which you have used AI in your editing. Cremastra (talk · contribs) 00:14, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
Hi Cremastra Yes, I have used ChatGPT to assist with drafting some article content. However, I review, fact-check, and revise it to ensure it maintains a human-authored standard and aligns with Wikipedia's content policies. I see AI as a support tool, not a replacement for editorial responsibility.Sweetabena (talk) 05:19, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

Toadboy123 has created 193 articles of consistently high quality; none have been deleted, while quite a few have gone through DYK and appeared on the Main Page, often with excellent hooks. I do not think we need to keep reviewing their creations.

Toadboy123 was warned twice for copyright violations by Diannaa in 2022, but she and I have both taken a look at several articles created since then and haven't found further issues (discussed here, after which I spot checked six recent creations). Additionally, DYK checks each nomination for copyright violations. Thus, I believe they have taken that feedback to heart. Toadspike [Talk] 12:52, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi, since four years ago, I have started over two dozen meticulously crafted articles, which are free of issues. Most of these are Japan or Shinto-related, and are primarily about geographical features and historical figures. There was only one draftified article from a while ago, which I quickly learned from and have since created only notable topics with sufficient sources.

[edit]

I have created more than 25 articles, over several years. I learnt over time to understand the notability criteria well. My new pages do not require attention from patrollers. Only one page I created is marked as deleted (it was recreated under a slightly different name). I have overall over 1000 edits. Thank you for the consideration. Queenofboston (talk) 12:24, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

@Queenofboston: Thank you for your contributions. Spot-checking one of your creations at random, Michelle Meagher, indicated direct copying from a source (report) and non-neutral prose ("Meagher was confronted with a crisis of consciousness", also closely paraphrased from the source). I'll leave a message on your talk page with more information about copyright considerations on Wikipedia, and I would recommend reading about the encyclopedic tone that should be used in articles. For these reasons, I don't think autopatrolled would be appropriate for you at the moment. Please let me know if you have any questions. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:13, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
@TechnoSquirrel69 the article you singled out for copyright issues was published in 2024. The Michelle Meagher Wikipedia entry was created by me in 2023 with the contested phrase in it. So the 2024 article copied the 2023 Wikipedia page not the other way round. I did not infringe any copyright of the 2024 article as it did not exist at the time of the page creation. Queenofboston (talk) 18:02, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
I'm not seeing a date on the Green European Journal page, although it was only archived in the Wayback Machine in 2024. Even leaving that aside, though, there remain the issues of neutrality and close paraphrasing.
I looked at another one of your creations for more information. Your most recent one, Aline Blankertz, has statements without citations, and doesn't demonstrate the subject's notability — the existing sources are either primary sources, like interviews or podcast appearances, or don't have significant coverage of the subject. However, I will note that I found no copyright-related issues here. I maintain that it would be beneficial for your creations to get a once-over from new pages patrol. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:52, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
The information you flagged as missing citation was contained in the sources cited immediately prior, I now double-cite them in the two instances you flagged.
I am not saying that my pages cannot be improved but my pages bring additions to Wikipedia. I focus on women as it is an objective of Wikipedia to re-balance the coverage away from a bias favoring pages of men Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, I believe this is valuable contribution. There are profiles of Aline Blankertz in leading German media outlets, only one source is a podcast and it is produced by an established German media outlet, that is a valid source in my understanding, it is not a podcast produced by the subject. None of the sources in that article are authored by the subject of the article. My pages do not have copyrights issues, as now clarified. I use some sources in foreign languages but it is not the policy of Wikipedia to disregard or downgrade sources that are in foreign languages for purposes of notability.

[edit]

I've been editing for more than 2 years now, and I noticed recently that reviews take longer than before. I was shocked by the workload waiting reviewers here. Besides my editing experience expanding and improving articles, I created and published 77 articles. For 2 years, only 1 out of 78 articles I created was deleted. I created 4 B-class articles, 37 C-class articles, 15 Start-class articles, and 2 Stubs.

I believe having autopatrolled rights would reduce the review burden on NPP volunteers, as my articles typically include proper sourcing, formatting, and categories from creation. Particleshow22 (talk) 13:41, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

[edit]
I frequently write articles (most of which nowadays are above start-class and I aim for GA on all of my tornado articles) so maybe having this right would help patrollers. The only three articles of mine that were deleted since September 2024 that I can remember are 2020 Villejuif stabbing (which was procedurally deleted), Second American Civil War and Casualties of the 2011 Super Outbreak (which was deemed to still have some useful info in it that was merged into 2011 Super Outbreak). I don't think any of my last 100-or-so articles are orange-tagged, although I don't frequently check them if they aren't being improved. EF5 17:46, 7 August 2025 (UTC) EF5 17:46, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

It does seem reasonable to use AWB for this purpose (changing mistargeted wikilinks does not seem fun to do by hand, especially if it comes into the hundreds), albeit it might be a good time to see if there's consensus for this type of usage if there hasn't been any relevant discussions.

Icem4k, could you comment on your evaluation of the case for notability of Tyler Toney? signed, Rosguill talk 15:22, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
Oh @Rosguill, I wasnt expecting that question but here’s my comment on Tyler Toney’s notability well... Uhmm Primarily, he is the co-founder and central on-screen member of the sports and comedy group Dude Perfect, one of the most popular and influential YouTube collectives globally. I believe that his foundational role in creating and leading Dude Perfet constitutes a major contribution to the evolution of online sports entertanment. Given his consitent presence and prominence within the group, and the fact that there is significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources, I believe he meets the General Notability Guideline (GNG). Icem4k (talk) 16:10, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
Creatives notable for work with exactly one group are typically not given separate articles, but instead are covered in that article. So unless coverage for Tyler Toney exclusively outside the context of Dude Perfect meets WP:GNG, we would merge/redirect his biography to Dude Perfect. Looking at the article, essentially all the coverage is in the context of Dude Perfect, so I’m not seeing the case for a stand-alone article. signed, Rosguill talk 16:17, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
Thanks again, @Rosguill.... Uhmm, so to be fair I did question the depth of individual sourcing when reviewing the article, especially in relation to WP:GNG. I completely understand that notability can’t be inherited trust me, I know, as emphasized at WP:INHERENT. I also understand that mere mention in sources doesn’t automatically justify notability. Group coverage alone isn’t always enough to warrant a standalone biography believe me, I’ve seen this firsthand with one of the bands I come from in Zambia. That aside, having looked through both the Tyler Toney article and the Dude Perfect article, I still believe there’s a nuanced case to be made for keeping his article separate. Tyler isn’t just one of the five members he is repeatedly positioned as the central figure in the group. And if I may quote from WP:NCREATIVE to support my thinking: A person who has “created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work” may be notable if that work has been the primary subject of multiple independent, reliable sources. I believe Tyler clearly qualifies here. He has played a central and sustained role in Dude Perfect's formation, content, and public image. And just to add some meat to the bone here when you read WP:INHERITED, it clearly gives caution against assuming someone is notable just because they’re part of something famous. But that’s not the argument I’m making but this isn’t a case of passive association. Tyler didnt just appear in a few videos he co-founded, led, and remains the most visible and consistently cited figure in a globally documented creative project. That aligns more closely with WP:NCREATIVE, where notability arises from playing a major role in co-creating a well covered body of work which I believe applies here... Now, looking back at both articles, Tyler is:
  • The co-founder, often the main on-screen face.
  • The one most associated with group identity (e.g., “The Beard”).
  • Cited in interviews on personal matters talking about his faith, marriage and leadership.
  • Mentioned in external media as the lead voice or spokesperson.
  • Credited individually in multiple world record achievements and tour leadership roles.
Even the Dude Perfect article itself refers to him by name, quotes him in records and interviews, and shows a pattern of media outlets singling him out. While much of this is still within group context, I think it elevates his individual recognition enough to consider standalone notability cause based on support from WP:NCREATIVE, I will still say that he is arguably notable enough for a separate article particularly given the volume and quality of mentions that focus on his identity, persona, and leadership to the group. That said, as a reviewer I think I would be open to a merge or redirect if consensus supports it, given the current source landscape. However, based on the subject’s prominence and recurring individual coverage, I believe there’s potential for a standalone article to be fully justified in the future should more independent, in-depth sources focusing solely on Tyler come to light if a merge or redirect was to happen.

I attempt whenever possible to correct article titles to sentence case when necessary, but am frequently unable to do so because of the existence of a single-edit redirect. I've been advised at "Requested moves" just to ask for the pagemover right already after 75,000 edits in nearly 11 years.

A perfect current example: Sweet and Sour Pork, which I can't move to Sweet and sour pork without requesting the move and making someone else do my work for me.

Thanks for your consideration! Julietdeltalima (talk) 23:52, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Note that Sweet and Sour Pork and Sweet and sour pork was actually unfortunately not a great example to make a case for page mover permissions - on review, you’ll find that there is a a long history at the latter as it was merged to Sweet and sour in 2013, as well as a whole mess as the former was (re-)created as a move from Gu Lao Rou, which in turn was only created in 2024 as a manual fork of Sweet and sour.
So what we have here is now a pretty mess of “admin required” for histmerge as well as a few “{{copied from}}” on the relevant talk pages and review of the page edit histories to make sure attributions are placed as needed. I’ll copy this over to RM/TR, since I can’t action on the admin required histmerge review. (Edit): posted at RMTR. Raladic (talk) 07:33, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

Howdy. I'm an active participant over at WP:DYK, and recently ran in WP:AELECT but did not pass the threshold. Discussion centered around lack of experience on WP:AIV, an area I expressed interest in getting involved in. A decent part of my running for adminship was wanting to help with processing WP:DYK queues, which are template-protected. In my election discussion there were no concerns raised about my professionalism, content creation or reviewing competency, which are the primary things needed with processing DYK queues. I do not meet some of the standard template editor guidelines (e.g. sandbox/significant template edits, etc), but I also do not plan on using the role outside of DYK queue processing.

I've seen Darth around at DYK but don't have the impression they're really one of the regulars. Looking over their contribution history I only see 33 hook promotions going back about 4 months (at least based on searching for PSHAW log messages). And looking through the WT:DYK archives, I'm seeing some consistent level of activity over the past 8 months, but not a huge volume compared to a few of the people that I would consider our major contributors to the behind-the-scenes DYK work, reinforcing my initial impression. Also, most of what I'm seeing (in an admittedly unscientific spot check) is routine participation in discussions; I haven't found any examples of complicated situations where they've had to carefully navigate contentious issues. In short, I'm not seeing any problems per-se, but I'm also not seeing the depth of experience and quality time in the trenches that an advanced permission like TE requires. We can certainly use more qualified hands at DYK, but I'd rather see Darth get more experience promoting hooks, managing the prep areas, and making tough decisions when nominators push hard for their own desired outcomes, before moving up to working on the queues. RoySmith (talk) 09:33, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
As someone who has worked with Darth Stabro in the past on DYK and is familiar with his work, I would support him getting the permission.

I'd prefer to see significantly more experience in prep sets, perhaps a hundred hooks promoted or more, to demonstrate "a need for the right". In RfA terms, NOTYET. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 09:39, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
@RoySmith @AirshipJungleman29 Putting the question another way, do you see a reason why DeathStarbo should not get the rights? WP:TPEGRANT only requires working the sandbox of three template-protected pages and successfully proposing five significant edits to template-protected templates. I'm not at all involved with DYK, but 32 promotions sounds like more than equivalent to that. – SD0001 (talk) 10:31, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
Well yes, as I said above, I'd prefer that they should get more experience. You can do 32 promotions in ten minutes if you don't take care, but in queueing sets the highest priority is taking care. (You also, incidentally, need to be familiar with the entirety of WP:DYKCRIT, WP:DYKRI and WP:DYKAI, and I'm not sure you can do that by promoting three-and-a-half sets.) ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:48, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
