Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing by IP hopper intent on only removing content. Paul_012 (talk) 12:48, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi! I'm not IP hopper, by the way. And non members are allowed to edit. I only remove content if not correct. In this case, english language link claims he have indian heritage but no thai language link claims so. I suggest having a discussion about which sources to use instead of locking it for constructive edits. I would say that user Paul is disruptive, who doesn't even want to discuss the use of the sources. I just want it to be correct. If there's a discrepancy, we should use sources not locking articles. I would love to hear Pauls point of view and reasoning behind his reasoning and would love to have a discussion on the talk page and find the best sources and conclusion! But we should be careful when writing about people's heritage, it's important that it is correct. 220.147.123.41 (talk) 12:52, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

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: The protection is for the purpose of overt censorship to completely remove the name of the suspect in question, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown, for political reasons because he happens to be a black male. This ought to be irrelevant, but the admin has taken it upon themselvesto take a political stance and censor free speech. ....... . 2603:9001:6B00:92F7:533E:E288:9531:C4E6 (talk) 23:36, 8 September 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

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)

I have created more than 25 non redirect articles within the past few weeks and 53 non redirects overall. The two mainspace ones that have been deleted were by my own request, thanks to a slip of the "Publish changes" button. Aside from those, all have been approved by the adminteam.

- Cites its sources all well and proper, and has a full catalogue of references here. They cite the Tuvalu Central Statistics Division for this matter, which conducts a Population and Housing Census once per decade (most recent one being on 12 Dec. 2022, which is the exact date referenced on the website). Additionally, the whole website is organized by a professor of geoinformatics who is clearly a subject matter expert, Thomas Brinkhoff (this is his profile on ResearchGate and on Google Scholar and on the website of an institute he works for). If I could, I would have cited data directly from the CSD, but they do not make their tables for individual settlements available in their data library, rather just the reports. But, citypopulation.de is far more than close enough. Luxtaythe2nd (Talk to me...) 08:03, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

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)
- Per WP:NONENG, "English-language sources are preferred over non-English ones when they are available and of equal quality and relevance". For In the Mesh, did you search for English-language sources? voorts (talk/contributions) 00:10, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- Also, it appears that you translated the article from fa:چرخدنده (کتاب) without attribution, which is required per Help:Translation#Licensing. Could you please repair the attribution for that article and any others that you translated from fa-wiki without attribution? voorts (talk/contributions) 00:15, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- Pinging @Shahnamk. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:09, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hello voorts, thank you very much for your careful review and constructive feedback.
- Regarding WP:NONENG and the article In the Mesh:
- You are absolutely right. I did rely on Persian-language sources since those were the ones I found most comprehensive at the time. However, I will now re-check for reliable English-language sources. If I find equally good English sources, I will integrate them into the article to ensure compliance with WP:NONENG.
- Regarding attribution for translations (e.g., Gear (book)):
- Thank you for pointing this out. I should indeed have provided the proper attribution when translating from fa-wiki. I will promptly fix this by adding the required attribution to the article’s talk page (per Help:Translation#Licensing). I will also review my other translated articles and repair the attribution wherever it is missing.
- I appreciate your guidance, and I will make sure my future contributions are fully compliant with sourcing and licensing requirements.
- Best regards, Shahnam K (Talk) 11:18, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hello, and thank you again User:voorts for your helpful feedback.
- I have now:
- 1. Attribution fixes: Added the required attribution on the talk page of *Gear (book)* (and will continue to do so for any other articles translated from fa-wiki).
- 2. Sources: For *In the Mesh*, I reviewed the sources again and included available reliable English-language sources in compliance with WP:NONENG.
- 3. Future compliance: I will make sure that all future translations contain proper attribution and that, whenever possible, English-language reliable sources are prioritized.
- I truly appreciate your careful review and guidance. Hopefully, these corrections demonstrate my commitment to following Wikipedia’s policies and ensuring that my future article creations reduce, rather than add to, the workload of new page patrollers.
- Best regards, Shahnam K (Talk) 11:20, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Shahnamk: you didn't properly attribute. You must add attribution to the page history following the instructions linked to. Also, did you use an LLM to help generate your response to me here? voorts (talk/contributions) 15:18, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

As a part of Wikipedia: Tambayan Philippines and the Music Task Force, I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I have created over 25 articles, most of which are currently live and have been built with careful attention to WP:N, WP:V, and reliable sourcing. And also I understand that the autopatrolled right is meant to ease the workload of new page reviewrs by automatically marking new pages from trusted users as reviewed. Thank you!

- Hello @Voorts, since the Dutch online film magazine Filmkrant has been publishing since 1981 and is run by experienced film critics. I'm using this source because in the article I created on Richard Raaphorst (who directed the film Popo) is also cited there, see #17 source. I also submitted that article for a GA nomination, which was promoted yesterday. AdobongPogi masarap 🍛 22:34, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

After a few months break, I have decided to become active on the English Wikipedia once more. In this new period of activity, I look forward to creating new articles of high quality. As a New page patroller myself, I know how much of a backlog there is. Since I have created a considerable amount of clean articles in the past (mostly related to history, geography and entomology), and am hoping to make many more in the future, I am requesting the Autopatrolled right to slightly ease the work of patrollers such as myself.

I am returning to request full rights after the three-month trial period expired. During the trial period, I encountered no issues and successfully created many articles to contribute to Women in Red/Missing articles by nationality/Myanmar. Hteiktinhein (talk) 07:53, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Hteiktinhein: I notice that you routinely cite YouTube videos. Why is this source from Kyaukthittar Pagoda reliable? voorts (talk/contributions) 01:41, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Voorts Thank you very much for your response. You asked whether the YT reference is reliable. I would say 'yes', because it is a documentary-style storytelling piece from Myanmar Celebrity Media, which is considered Myanmar's largest entertainment media outlet after the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état. Before the coup, they operated a website channel, but now they only operate a YouTube video channel. After the coup, around 90% of entertainment media outlets were shut down, leaving only a few video-based entertainment news sources and other media only focus on the war and political news. I used this video version as a source for Wikipedia because it comes from a verified major media outlet. According to WP:YOUTUBE-EL, "If the source would normally be considered reliable (e.g., a segment from a well-known television news show, or an official video channel from a major publisher), then a copy of the source on YouTube is still considered reliable." Therefore, I sometimes use YouTube sources when needed. Best regards. Hteiktinhein (talk) 04:34, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- Do they have editorial standards? An "entertainment" outlet is quite different from news media. voorts (talk/contributions) 04:40, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Voorts I don't think their current website maintains editorial standards... When I checked, the remaining site did not mention any editor's name and only posted event and celebrity photos with very brief descriptions, without detailed news coverage. It seems the current version of their website is mostly for show and not suitable to use as a source for Wikipedia. If someone used it, sure I will remove. However, on their YouTube channel, they provide more detailed reporting and include the interviewer's name in the hashtags. Therefore, I think their place-documentary programs, where they interview or trace origin with local historians or highly venerated monks, are acceptable to use. Hteiktinhein (talk) 05:30, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- Since I don't speak/read Burmese, I can't really independently evaluate whether I find the source credible, and I can't really easily research if they had editorial standards in the past. I'll let another admin evaluate your request. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:14, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- Anyway, thank you very much for your question and concerns @Voorts. I always welcome feedback or comments from senior editors, and I am eager to learn from others. Please correct me if I am wrong. I really do not want to use YouTube as a source; I only turn to it when there is no other choice (Myanmar is now a low-resource media environment, and it is difficult to find website-based reports bcs all gone [2], [3]). My Wiki mentor once told me that YouTube could be used as a source if the channel is verified and has a media license under the Myanmar government. After learning this, I began to cite videos from YouTube only when they came from licensed media.
- If media license–holder outlets that report on notable Burmese celebrities are not considered reliable sources, I am happy to agree with that. I have used YouTube sources in only a few of the articles I created (especially on temple or pagoda topics), and if this is still unclear, I am willing to remove or replace them with other references.
- I believe MC (Myanmar Celebrity) is one of the most popular celebrity and entertainment news outlets in Myanmar under license, although its website is now low in editorial standards and seems focused mostly on monetization and viewership (some reports on cele may gossip). The second most popular online outlet is Stun Magazine. To give a sense of MC's influence in Myanmar, as Burmese saying goes: “Someone can become a celebrity if Myanmar Celebrity features them.” Thank you again for reviewing my request. Hteiktinhein (talk) 17:47, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- The issue is that celebrity/gossip outlets tend not to be particularly reliable. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:58, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- I partly agree. Sometimes they report on celebrity conflicts, which feels more like gossip, but most of their reports are focused on celebrity life and news. They also have multiple programs such as travel, documentary, food reviews, daily life, and program of "forgotten celebrities". Some of these are actually very good reports.
- For ordinary lifestyle interviews with celebrities, I don't think those should be used as sources because I know they are not independent. But for other local news reports, I think we can consider using them for Wikipedia. In my view, the reliability of such MC sources should be decided on a case-by-case basis at each article's talk page. How do you think? Hteiktinhein (talk) 18:08, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Voorts As of now, MC is a questionable source, and the reliability of that outlet still we cannot be decided. Therefore, removing it is better now, and I have replaced it with another source on Kyaukthittar Pagoda. You can verify again, and if you have any concerns about this, kindly ping me. Thank you.

- @Voorts I have cleared MC sources from the article. I only found two in my contributions. In the future, I will not use MC since the reliability of that media is not clear at this time.

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights: Over the past month, I've spent a significant amount of time patrolling the recent changes page and have, as such, gained a lot of experience identifying flagrant violations of Wikipedia standards (i.e. vandalism, copyright violations, personal attacks, etc) and the difference between good-faith errors and deliberate disruption. Having reviewer rights would allow me to apply this knowledge in effectively processing the backlog of pending changes, which I have often noticed seems to be quite large. Additionally, I believe that timely approval of helpful contributions encourages new editors, improves article quality and keeps content up to date, which is what I ultimately strive to do on Wikipedia.
Disclosure: In the interest of full transparency, I was temporarily blocked from editing The Life of a Showgirl shortly after creating my account. At the time, I was unfamiliar with Wikipedia’s policies and procedures, though my edits were made in good faith. Since then, I’ve taken the time to thoroughly review the relevant guidelines, and I’ve worked diligently to apply that understanding to my editing practices. In fact, I have made over 1,200 edits, including a substantial amount of recent changes patrolling to improve Wikipedia as a whole, without any issues. As such, I won't abuse any authority given to me. MadelynnSienna (talk) 14:46, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

Rollback

Reasons why I am requesting rollback rights: Some registered editors or some IP editors know what they are doing is wrong, but they are still doing it adding wrong information about BLPs, changing names or birth years, months or days from right to wrong, and adding nonsensical contents just to hurt Wikipedia. I am against all of that. I'm requesting rollback rights because I am fighting vandalism and I won't stop not now not ever. The rollback tool will help me fight vandalism with confidence because some editors know what they are doing is 100% wrong (vandalism) but they just keep adding and adding. With the rollback tool rights, I can undo that in the blink of an eye. I understand that rollback is only for obvious vandalism or disruptive edits and not for content disputes. I will make sure I use the tool responsibly in accordance with Wikipedia policies. Thanks in advance. 🐍 Thilio🤖 13:21, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
- Done I'm going to give you a few bits of advice, though, in case they are helpful:
- Accuracy is more important than speed in recent changes patrolling; rollback does help you revert faster, but the burden is still on you to verify what you are reverted really needs to be reverted, etc.
- Be careful making bold, indefinite claims like
I won't stop not now not ever
; surely at some point you will tire of editing Wikipedia, even if that point is many years in the future - I know I have, and I even stepped down as an admin for a few months.

Vandalism is one of the serious problems that Wikipedia faces. Having patrolled less frequented pages a lot, few of such vandal edits persist for weeks if not for months. These vandals carry personal grudges against such pages and do not mass-vandal numerous pages, but just the one page and do not make further edits as such. This makes identifying and reverting such edits very difficult. If rollback rights are granted to me, cleaning such pages would be of great help and would result in efficient dealing of such vandals. Also, many less frequented pages are edited by IP addresses with no experience of Wiki editing and often make changes which are against Wiki policies. Such edits being multiple at times require to be rollbacked altogether and reverting each edit makes it tedious. Thus, I request the rollback rights for efficient and effective patrolling of pages and cleaning any vandalized or unintentional edits. Thank you and Good day!

Reason for requesting rollback rights: Over the past month, I've dedicated a significant amount of time patrolling the recent changes feed, focusing mainly on countering vandalism. I've observed that more often than not, vandals target the same page repeatedly. Reverting each of these edits manually, especially when they occur in the same section of an article, can be time-consuming and inefficient. As such, having rollback rights would allow me to respond to vandalism more quickly and effectively, thereby increasing the amount I can contribute to this area of Wikipedia.

I've been RC patrolling for a few years now, requesting rollback right so I can fight vandalism more effectively and use the anti-vandal tools that require it. 『π』BalaM314〘talk〙 13:43, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

I was active in fighting vandalism from 2022-2023 before I had to take a break for personal reasons. Now I am back on Wikipedia and I have been patrolling recent changes and reverting vandalism for a few days. I'm also a pending changes reviewer and have done some work including reverting unconstructive edits on that front. I would like rollback as it would help me fight vandalism better and faster.

Ability to fix changes on some templates. Recently, for example, I ran across an issue with Template:United_States_Code that I could fix if I had the permissions to do so. (My proposed fix is here.)
I am well-versed in templates and a longtime wikipedian. I have experience in templates and modules on multiple Wikis including Wikipedia. I presently run two Mediawiki instances that utilize templates significantly. I also have a working knowledge of the Wikipedia template backend including job queue considerations. I understand I have not worked in the Template and Module namespaces recently but I assure I am up to speed.
I understand the guidelines of WP:TPE and I understand I will be held accountable for all changes. I am highly aware of the implications of changes to highly transcluded templates. The Pony Toast 🍞 (Talk) 19:57, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

- The bot does not take into account edits to the template space on projects outside Wikimedia, such as these on the Dark Skylines wiki, these in the Amtgard wiki, and many on The Masonic wiki (which is no longer online). It would be awesome if you would take these edits, and my long Wikipedia history, into account. The Pony Toast 🍞 (Talk) 01:40, 7 September 2025 (UTC)
- Even if I were to do so (which I'm not convinced is justified; you're asking for rights on Wikipedia, not on third-party wikis), you would still fail standard criterion 6 (
The editor should have requested and had successfully enacted at least five significant edits to template-protected templates or modules.
). And that's about need for the tools and compliance with standards specific to enwiki, so can't be substituted by things on other wikis. In fact, I don't see any evidence you've ever used {{edit template-protected}}. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:58, 7 September 2025 (UTC)
