Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]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: Unprotection: This article has been semi-protected since 2013, and I think it's time to test whether long-term protection is still needed. The other constellation articles (except for Orion) are not protected and don't see really much disruptive activity, so I'm not expecting this to be a big vandalism target unlike, let's say, the Solar System, the Sun, the Moon, the 8 planets, Pluto, etc. This was also not protected due to sockpuppetry, unlike Orion, which seems to have been a perennial target of this banned user. I wasn't require to contact the protecting administrator; he's sadly no longer with us as of 2022. BriDash9000 (talk) 11:15, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
Reason: It's ridiculous for such an obscure article in the middle of nowhere to have higher protection than the actual Syrian Civil War article. An explanation given was that this is part of the Arab-Israeli conflict, which I feel is only a technicality considering this is a page on a particular event, and even then so is the Syrian Civil War page and yet that has a lower protection so this is a double standard for no good reason. Some of its information is outdated because it describes the situation on the ground as if it were still true, which is a relatively simple change to make, but no one thinks twice about this page who actually has the ability to make that change. Putting such high protection on a page like this is ridiculous. Anyway, I brought up the change I would like to make but was unable to, and the person who actually responded to me didn't even make it, just said that the protection was needed and didn't change anything. If this article is true, then Hezbollah still has a "large presence" in Syria as it did during the Civil War. Great job. Taiyaki Schizo (talk) 16:59, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This person's trial is set soon in South Korea. This person's audience feeds on arrgrivating their audience. Removing a reference, such is this is just what their fans would do. Requesting Temp RPP. Dillard421♂♂ (talk to me) 21:43, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 21:52, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]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.

Autopatrolled[edit]
New page reviewer who has made over 90 articles including 1 good article and quite familiar with content guidelines, I may also as well not clutter the backlog for other reviewers. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 06:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
I am autopatrolled and an NPP reviewer; I would actually like to nominate User:Kjansen86 to be autopatrolled. I just reviewed and cheerfully accepted almost a dozen perfectly-formulated articles on Zoroastrian texts, and they have made more than 25 overall. Looking at their talk page, this appears to be an experienced and effective editor. Checking their AfD stats, I find one (successful) AfD that they initiated, indicating an awareness of notability. We may as well take them out of the NPP backlog. (This is my first time nominating someone else so if I did it wrong, please let me know!) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I have created over 30 articles, none of which have been deleted. I am well-versed in Wikipedia's notability guidelines and currently assist new Burmese editors. I focus on creating articles related to Myanmar that need to be written, including those covering current events. Granting me autopatrolled rights would help reduce the backlog of articles awaiting review. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration. Hteiktinhein (talk) 14:43, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

Requesting the AWB to perform repetitive tasks. I will mainly use it for adding categories to AFd debates, fixing grammatical error, fixing abuse of tags. Thanks for considering my request. VortexPhantom🔥 (talk) 07:33, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
I would like to do repitative tasks such as adding wikilinks, fixing typos, etc Warriorglance(talk to me) 06:32, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
Hi. I intend to use AWB to assist with repetitive but useful maintenance tasks such as fixing common formatting issues, updating templates, correcting typos, and performing category cleanups. Similarly, I have also reviewed the guidelines and will ensure all edits follow Wikipedia policies. I am also familiar with Wikipedia editing conventions and have made constructive edits. Thank you for considering my request and I hope for positive response. Fade258 (talk) 13:24, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
I wish to become an AutoWikiBrowser user to fix Linter, errors along with many other things that can I assist with, I understand that I may have had problems with admins and acted a bit outrageous, but I understand my actions and now been using Twinke, Ultraviolet, Rater and more, I believe I can be trusted with AutoWikiBrowser rights, as I've waited my time, and today/yesterday is my 2 month anniversary of my account. Feel free to ask me any questions. I also understand that I should be checking every edit before saving it and the other guidelines...

New page reviewer[edit]
I'm requesting preliminary new page reviewer to help with the backlog drive. Preliminary because I'm not perfect—I've definitely fallen victim to WP:AKON before with my own creations[1], but I also have created a number of articles that stuck, and edited up articles quite a bit[2]. Importantly each process I've learned and grown. I plan to start small and grow over time as I become more and more confident with the process. Just recently attempted to review a draft with obvious advertising and realized the permissions would be good. Thanks, References Scaledish! Talkish? Statish. 03:36, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
I’d like to request the New Page Reviewer right. I meet the criteria and have experience with article creation and deletion processes. Previously, I had a request declined as I applied for several rights at once—I understand this was seen as hat collecting. This time, my intent is focused: I’d like to help with the backlog and review pages containing promotional or disruptive content. Jesus isGreat7 ☾⋆ | Ping Me 18:08, 17 May 2025 (UTC) |

Page mover[edit]
There are some categories that might warrant moving that I cannot currently without this permission. For tangentially related details, I have a 98.9% AfD match rate, have made 63,500+ edits, and have been editing for a couple years now and am familiar with the page move policy and guidelines. Iljhgtn (talk) 20:15, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
Good day, When reviewing pages, I frequently encounter situations such that this permission would be useful or necessary. These include redirect suppression when draftifying to reduce the number of R2s needed and the ability to move pages over single-revision redirects when accepting AFC drafts, which can occasionally present a barrier. I would also like to help with uncontroversial category and technical moves. I meet the WP:PMCRITERIA and believe I have a demonstrated both a need for the permissions and an understanding of the associated guidelines. Garsh (talk) 17:55, 17 May 2025 (UTC) |

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
Hello, I am requesting to be a pending change reviewer. I have around two to three months of experience patrolling RC and approximatly 1,000 edits in mainspace. I constantly find edits to contenuous and controversial pages, and would like to be able to accept or decline them. Toast1454TC 15:55, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
I would like to have the pending changes reviewer right so that I can help fight vandalism and deal with pending changes backlogs. I revert vandalism and other inappropriate edits when I come across them when I'm recent changes patrolling or viewing my watchlist. I also believe that I meet the WP:PCCRITERIA. Thanks for considering my request. Opm581 (talk | he/him) 23:45, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Rollback[edit]
Hello 🙏 My temporary rollback rights is expiring soon. I’ve used rollback right responsibly to revert vandalism. Would kindly like to request permanent rollback permission to continue this work. Thank you. Rahmatula786 (talk) 07:55, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
Reason for requesting rollback rights. Have undone multiple vandalism attempts on K. Chandrashekar Rao and Revanth Reddy. Having the rollback permission will be helpful to quickly revert multiple edits. Skratata69 (talk) 17:17, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I will love to request for the rollback permission so I can help fight against vandalism and revert unconstructive edits, I’m also interested to use the wp:ANVDL tool to detect vandalism more easily. I believe meet the requirements and I took the feedbacks after my last request was declined over the last 1 month, I’ve been actively patrolling recent changes since then and I’m here again. Chippla ✍️ - Best Regards 06:47, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
Hello! I've been using Twinkle which works very well, but I'd like to try out other tools like SWViewer and Huggle. If you'd like to see additional recent edits or vandalism reversions I understand completely! TonySt (talk) 23:49, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
 Hi! I am once again peitioning for rollback rights, I currently have 4,000 edits under my belt and edit consistently, though I happen to run into a lot of vandalism. On the articles I edit, it can get excessive and rollback could come in use right about now. Quite frankly, it is quite difficult and time consuming to revert all edits made by a user, who is either vandalising an article or making unconstructive edits, with it also clogging up the edit history. It would be very useful if I could please obtain this tool to make it easier. Also please see the image! Thank you for reading. Lemonademan22 (talk) 21:59, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
Hey there :3 I'm looking for rollback perms so I can speed up my vandal reversion by using tools such as huggle. I don't have any issues with RedWarn but my more experienced friends tell me that huggle is much nicer and faster to use. (Arachnid's userpage | what did I do now) 00:05, 17 May 2025 (UTC) |

"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.
