Current requests for increase in protection level
[edit]Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload 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.

Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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.
Unprotection: Please see Draft:Gerard Gertoux which I believe has a better than. 50% chance of surviving an immediate deletion process. I intend to accept this draft on that basis and would appreciate notification of any unprotecting. The draft does need some trying and pruning, which I believe should be left to the community. Unless, of course, there is an overriding reason for preventing its creation still relevant today. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:01, 27 October 2024 (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.
Under the category "Professional Career", a new (edited) subcategory labeled "2024" in which a News article, of an article (duly referenced) relaying a factual occurrence which happened on live television, in an unbiased manner as an historical event to Nick Bosa's Professional Career. The reference in question follows:
My suggestion is to leave out the following 2 sentences in the "German complicity" paragraph as they seem to be based on misunderstandings:
"She also highlighted police suppression of pro-Palestine protests throughout Germany[509] as evidence of state complicity.[508] Karen Wells et al. highlight how Germany has entrenched its complicity in Israel's actions by banning use of the word "genocide" in reference to Israel.[471][better source needed]"
1. In general violent protests are not allowed in Germany. As some of the first pro-Palestine protests were violent, they were sometimes forbidden by courts, if they were expected to turn violent. But that is common policy in Gemany with all subjects and not special for pro-Palestine protests.
Meanwhile, there even is a calendar concerning pro-Palestinian protests[1] with daily up to 20 protests all over Germany. Thus, there is no general police suppression of pro-Palestine protests as is suggested by the current wording.
2. The word “genocide” is not banned in reference to Israel in Germany - maybe that was a misunderstanding: What is not allowed in Germany is to call for genocide against Jews. The slogan “From the river to the sea” is seen as such call and banned. Gilbert04 (talk) 15:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

- I can confirm that both statements are broadly true. IMO, the best resource for this discussion (in the contemporary context) is probably Steinberg: Versammlungsfreiheit nach dem 7. Oktober - NVwZ 2024, 302. Direct citation: “Die Subsumtion unter diesen Tatbestand bereitet aber auch sonst Probleme. Die Stadt Frankfurt a. M. hatte dem Anmelder einer Versammlung „Frieden in Nahost" am 2.12.2023 untersagt, während der Versammlung zur Vernichtung Israels aufzurufen, dem Staat Israel das Existenzrecht abzusprechen, sowie die Aussagen „Israel Kindermörder", „Juden Kindermörder", „Israel bringt Kinder um" sowie „From the river to the sea" zu tätigen. Diese Beschränkungen hob das VG Frankfurt vollständig auf. Auf die Beschwerde der Stadt differenzierte der VGH Kassel Aufrufe zur Vernichtung Israels verstießen - wie gesagt - gegen § 111 StGB und die Aussage „Juden Kindermörder" erfülle den Tatbestand der Volksverhetzung (§ 130 StGB). Demgegenüber wurden andere Außerungen wie „Kindermörder Israel" oder die Bezeichnung der israelischen Militäroperationen in Gaza als „Genozid" nicht beanstandet und die Entscheidung des VG insoweit aufrechterhalten. Es sei davon auszugehen, dass bei den militärischen Verteidigungshandlungen Israels auch Kinder zu Schaden kämen. Eine solche laienhafte Zuspitzung sei im Rahmen der Meinungsfreiheit hinzunehmen. Anders hatte der VGH Mannheim am 21.10.2023 ein Verbot der Parole „Israel Kindermörder" und „Israel bringt Kinder um" durch die Versammlungsbehörde trotz bestehender Zweifel über deren Strafbarkeit aufrechterhalten; im Verfahren des vorläufigen Rechtsschutzes sei nur eine summarische Prüfung möglich; eine einmal getätigte Äußerung könne nicht rückgängig gemacht werden. Die Unterscheidung zwischen antisemitisch und antiisraelisch stellt sicherlich eine Gratwanderung dar, die hier im Einzelnen nicht beschrieben werden kann“autotranslated: “However, the subsumption under this offense also causes other problems. On December 2, 2023, the city of Frankfurt am Main had prohibited the person registering a meeting "Peace in the Middle East" from calling for the destruction of Israel during the meeting, from denying the State of Israel the right to exist, and from making the statements "Israel, child murderer," "Jews, child murderer," "Israel kills children" and "From the river to the sea." The Administrative Court of Frankfurt completely lifted these restrictions. In response to the city's complaint, the Administrative Court of Kassel differentiated that calls for the destruction of Israel violated - as mentioned - Section 111 of the Criminal Code and that the statement "Jews, child murderer" constituted incitement to hatred (Section 130 of the Criminal Code). In contrast, other statements such as "Israel, child murderer" or the description of Israeli military operations in Gaza as "genocide" were not objected to and the Administrative Court's decision was upheld in this respect. It can be assumed that children would also be harmed in Israel's military defense actions. Such a lay exaggeration must be accepted within the framework of freedom of expression. On October 21, 2023, the Mannheim Higher Administrative Court upheld a ban on the slogans "Israel, child murderer" and "Israel kills children" by the assembly authority despite existing doubts about their criminal liability; in the interim legal protection procedure, only a summary examination is possible; a statement once made cannot be reversed. The distinction between anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli is certainly a balancing act that cannot be described in detail here.” There is no broad ban on pro-Palestinian protests either, and they were even allowed to happen on Oct. 7 of this year (in some cases). While there are legal disputes on specifics for both, I’m pretty confident that no reasonable person would disagree with “broadly permitted” regarding both claims. FortunateSons (talk) 16:54, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Consider changing "The Israeli government rejected South Africa's allegations, and accused the court of being antisemitic, which it often does when criticised" to "The Israeli government has been accused of consistently weaponizing antisemitism against it's critics, including in the ICJ ruling." Ecco2kstan (talk) 23:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- The Weaponization of antisemitism page hyperlinked over "often done" has many sources to draw from regarding the accusations' consistency and nature.
- My main concern with the original text is that it's voiced as if it's an observation made by a Wikipedian. The benefit here is that the weaponization of antisemitism has a clearer consistency grounded outside of Wikipedia. Perhaps other ways to word this out include adding a time scale (increasingly accused since Oct. 7th) or specifying the critique (against critiques of their actions since Oct 7th).
- If a lead paragraph change is necessary, there may be reason to outline Israeli motives and conditions for the genocide, including Zionism and anti-Arab racism. Ecco2kstan (talk) 23:25, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Ecco2kstan, how about: "The Israeli government rejected South Africa's allegations. Supporters of Israel say that accusing Israel of genocide is both antisemitic[10][11] and a form of Holocaust erasure[12], but others argue antisemitism shouldn't be exploited to shield Israel from such allegations.[13][14][15][16]".VR (Please ping on reply) 00:12, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not as familiar with the Holocaust erasure claims, but I'm happy with that reworking! If that weaponization of Holocaust denial detail isn't on the weaponization of antisemitism page already, it might be a worthwhile phenomenon incorporate if there's more citations you can find. I might look into it myself. Thanks! Ecco2kstan (talk) 03:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

AutoWikiBrowser[edit]
I want to replace links to old photos with links to better photos Kent Wang (talk) 18:31, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to keep using AutoWikiBrowser to better add WikiProjects to talk pages in other languages, such as those in the Vietnamese versions of Establishments in Italy by year, as well as fixing (not necessarily removing like before) unknown parameters in templates. OpalYosutebito (talk) 13:22, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
I would love to use this for category maintenance and WikiProject tagging across a wide spread of articles quickly. (Oinkers42) (talk) 22:21, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
I would like to use AWB for fixing various puntuations and citations issues found on WP:NPP and articles within my scope as sometimes it's hard to notice it. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:15, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
I need to add 'Flag of X District' and 'Flag of Y Region' categories to around 3,000 Slovakian flags, doing just about 5% manually took a full day. EnzoTC (talk) 04:09, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
I write to request permission to use AutoWikiBrowser to facilitate identification of duplicate references; I understand that the tool only identifies exact duplicates, and that I must check every edit before saving it. spida-tarbell 𐡸 (talk • contribs) 21:17, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
There are about 200 templates at Category:South Korea pop music group navigational boxes, Category:Girl group navigational boxes, and Category:Boy band navigational boxes that are members of content categories and shouldn't be per the guideline at WP:CAT#T. Hoping to automate their removal. RachelTensions (talk) 02:08, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights I need to help I make good edits that are very good I help revert vandalism Gladcape2013 (talk) 20:30, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
petscan:29601810 shows several hundred biographies with inconsistent categories. Depending on the subject, the solution is either replacing Category:Year of birth missing (living people) with Category:Year of birth missing, or adding Category:Living people. It's very repetitive (even with HotCat), but I don't think a bot could reliably decide which solution to apply. I'm requesting AWB access because it seems like the right kind of semi-automated tool for this job. jlwoodwa (talk) 01:39, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights: I have achieved 500 mainspace edits and I feel like this tool will be used so that I can contribute to wikipedia while expanding my knowledge of it- as well as how these tools work. This tool will be handy in my improvement of wikipedia articles no matter stub or good articles. This tool will be so handy in fixing problems that are in multiple articles! Thanks, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Cooldudeseven7 join in on the tea talk 13:04, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
(See rescinded previous request.) There are many tasks I undertake that AWB would make easier, but the immediate task is finding 'what redirects here' for Effective radiated power to clean its odd anchor 'Equivalent radiated power (Redirected)' in the second paragraph. I do a fair bit of redirect work, so the ability to examine database dumps without dragging out my minimal MariaDB chops would be nice. I need to dig into Pywikibot as well, but I'd like to try the GUI offered by AWB. Tule-hog (talk) 16:18, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Requests for confirmation |

Confirmed[edit]
Reason for requesting confirmed rights I am requesting autoconfirmed user rights to contribute more effectively to Wikipedia. Having these permissions will allow me to make edits and create pages without the restrictions placed on new accounts, and I am committed to adhering to Wikipedia’s content policies and guidelines. I have a good understanding of Wikipedia’s notability and sourcing requirements and wish to participate constructively. Walluu2 (talk) 18:19, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason for requesting confirmed rights I am writing to formally request confirmed rights on Wikipedia. My primary reason for seeking this status is to enhance my ability to contribute meaningfully to the platform while adhering to Wikipedia's core principles of accuracy and reliability. As an active editor, I am committed to improving the quality of content within various topics I am passionate about. Having confirmed rights would not only empower me to edit more effectively by increasing my edit privileges but would also enable me to participate more fully in discussions and decision-making processes related to content updates and policy enforcement. I believe that my validated contributions can assist in maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia while fostering a collaborative environment among fellow editors.

Extended confirmed[edit]
Hello! I understand many different languages, so I want to contribute to translating articles. That is the main reason for requesting extended confirmed rights. Yuxwastaken (talk) 07:21, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I have over 10k edits in de.wiki and only doing "little" (due to lack of time) work now, so reaching the 500 will take some time. Could you please grant me the rights already now? Thanks :) Shadak (talk) 11:00, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
I am an active contributor with a long history of participation on Wikipedia. I have a solid understanding of the relevant policies and guidelines. While my previous edits have been somewhat sporadic, I now have additional time to dedicate to more consistent contributions. I am particularly interested in reviewing Articles for Creation (AfCs), which necessitates extended confirmed privileges. Soumyapatra13 (talk) 12:20, 28 October 2024 (UTC) Soumyapatra13 (talk) 12:20, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I recently had this user right but vanished & it was removed. I decided to come back due to some reasons after a couple years, and would appreciate being given it back. Thanks for the consideration. Rin (talk) 15:20, 28 October 2024 (UTC) |

File mover[edit]
Reason for requesting file mover rights: Sometimes when I upload a file on Wikipedia, I name it something wrong. I want this privilege so when I do this, I can rename that file easily without any trouble. Bigeditingideas (talk) 02:35, 28 October 2024 (UTC) |

New page reviewer[edit]
I'd like to request NPR rights. I have prior experience with AfC and NPP, so I'm familiar with the process of reviewing new pages. I'm confident in my understanding of notability guidelines and can easily spot paid/COI editing, as well as unreliable and branded sources. I am also familiar with WP:DP, WP:NOBITING, and CSD I understand the importance of careful, fair reviews and will do my best to uphold the quality of content on Wikipedia. Thank you! TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 06:37, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
My trial has expired once more. I would like to continue reviewing pages. Rusty 🐈 13:28, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
I was recently notified that my rights had expired. Although I wasn't interested then, I'm now interested in helping lower the backlog. Could I have permanent rights? Tavantius (talk) 13:36, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Hello! I was given temporary NPR rights by Clovermoss six months ago and it is about to expire. I will admit that I have been very busy over the past few months and have not been able to dedicate much time to reviewing or Wikipedia in general, but I would like to at least have an extension on my trial as reviewing articles and drafts is one of my biggest interests in editing. Thanks! —asparagusus (interaction) sprouts! 17:43, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
I know it hasn't been a few months, but it's been over a month and I've gotten a lot done in the past month. Since the last decline (which should be linked by the bot below), I've voted on at least 60 more AfDs and now retain a ~77% match rate. I also applied to be an AfC reviewer to prepare myself for this, and have been doing that for a little bit (I've done 92 reviews as of writing this). My reasoning hasn't changed, I still want to branch out and focus more on the maintenance side of the project, as article creation has been getting boring (again). I'd still just like a 1-or-2 month trial, just to get used to it before diving in head-first. :) SirMemeGod 15:44, 28 October 2024 (UTC) |
Requests for page mover |

Page mover[edit]
I'd like to get this right to delete unnecessary redirects (i.e. move pages over existing single revision redirects regardless of target). Additionally, I would also like to try to harmonize some pages of Spanish municipalities with the name of the country and the province (when necessary) instead of other subnational units (such as comarca). Moreover if a double denomination exists in some cases, I shall use the slash with spaces in between to enhance visual effect of different linguistic nomenclatures. However if an English form is more relevant I shall use it instead of double and local denominations. Other than that I could help elsewhere to move pages if necessary. Thank you, Nuvolet (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 23:10, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights: I am an Wikipedian for more than three years and part of various wikiprojects I need permission to expand my works on Wikipedia and also to observe Wikipedia articles. Cactinites (talk) 15:28, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
To review pending changes on Wikipedia Gonzafer001 (talk) 09:16, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
I’d like to request pending changes reviewer rights. I have been active on Wikipedia for a while, focusing on improving content quality and helping maintain the integrity of articles. I am not new to reviewing edits, as I use edit-request tools to answer several requests by unregistered/registered editors that wish to see changes on several articles. I have read all policies on how to handle this right and know the responsibly that comes alongside it. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 16:12, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
I like helping out and reviewing recent changes, and I would like to be able to contribute further by receiving pending changes reviewer rights. Imconfused3456talk 01:31, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
I would like to help contribute to the Wikipedia community and help reviews happen quicker. I am passionate about unbiased true information being presented and I think this would be a good privilege for me. BittersweetParadox (talk) 07:41, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
I have been reviewing changes on many pages made by editors and IPs and helped by improving and protecting pages from vandalism. My editing history will prove that I am very capable and can be great help. I did set aside time and read and understood guidelines for vandalism, Reviewing pending changes and Protection policies before submitting this request. RangersRus (talk) 14:53, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I've been patrolling recent changes and reverting vandalism for a while, as well as contributing to AfD, CSD and creating some of my own articles. I'd like Pending Changes Reviewer because sometimes when I'm patrolling I see pending changes to a page that are constructive and I'd like to accept them. Thanks for your time! MolecularPilot 04:09, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
I've been patrolling Recent Changes since August 28, 2024, and I helping to review pending changes. Thanks. Ampil (Ταικ • Cοnτribυτιοns) 02:25, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
I would love to review and either accept or decline edits made to articles or pages under pending changes protection. I'm a New Page Reviewer and I'll like to review pending changes too. I’ve read the guidelines and have a clear understanding of them. Comr Melody Idoghor (talk) 09:23, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Requests for rollback |

Rollback[edit]
With reference to my previous request for rollback rights submitted on 24 September 2024link and the advice received, I would like to re-submit my request. I have actively patrolled recent changes, reverting unconstructive or disruptive edits, addressing vandalism, and consistently warning editors. In more severe cases, I have reported offenders to administrators for further action and also requested for page protection. I have primarily used Twinkle for these tasks, alongside performing manual reverts. I believe that rollback rights would be a valuable addition to the tools currently available to me and going forward. Thank you. QEnigma (talk) 00:54, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
I've been patrolling Recent Changes since August 28, 2024, I've revert vandailsm and LTAs, I'am over 200 reverts form vandalism, and I'am interested the tools named AntiVandal and SWViewer, so I can patrol more faster. Criteria to make Successful:
Thanks. (please mention me on reply)
I have removed and reverted various vandal edits as well as unsourced edits.But when there are more than 1 vandal edits it becomes very tedious to do manually so I want to use this tool for such purposes.You may find not leaving an edit warning as a problem but I promise I will take care of it and I am even improving it as well.Thanks. Edasf (talk) 14:31, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
I enjoy Disambiguation links and a certain small portion are the result of vandalism. About a week ago I found myself matching links on an article for a very young children's show, it had been vandalized with some crude language and I'm assuming they placed links in order to fool the filter. I was in the situation of having to manually undo and I have in the past painstakingly gone through line by line, because although I just wanted to Disambiguate some links, I can't leve an article like that, especially one that children might go to. Luckily, this time I was able to ask a sysop who had recently edited the page for help. Since then I've been going back and forth as to whether I should make this request. I know, I meet the minimum requirements and I definitely feel like my request is for the correct reason. I have no doubts that I could probably find some sysop willing to trust me but having my edit history scrutinized and questioned officially seems the more appropriate route even if my request is not granted. I meet the mainspace edit requirement. I have previously patrolled recent edits fairly closely but currently only patrol it once or twice a day. A few monthes back I had an accusation of edit warring which was stricken out, it can be found in my talk page archive. I generally try to have communication with editors even if I'm not undoing their edit directly, communication and edit summaries are very important to me. RCSCott91 (talk) 03:28, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
I have been working on reverting vandalism and disruptive edits for some time now. Roll back permissions will allow me to use tools such as Twinkle etc. more effectively. I have a fairly good understanding of the policies involved. Wikibear47 (talk) 15:29, 28 October 2024 (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.
Wikiprojects I am a member of:
