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.
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – LTA ban evader Lam312321321 has switched to using new accounts and waiting four days, following the recent reimposition of semi-protection. Belbury (talk) 08:04, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Stop IP edits made to add false information helping scammers impersonate the brand 147.161.234.174 (talk) 08:25, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Three IPs edit-warring to say that a building protection order was "thanks to pressure from Save Oasis Swindon", with no source for that. 82.30.50.220 and Nmrobinson007 have both identified themselves as having COI connections to the group, and been advised not to edit the article directly. Belbury (talk) 16:47, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Template protection: High-risk template – Used by Strip tags, which is fully protected. — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 18:39, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – In the past couple weeks, 5 established editors (myself included) have had to remove disruptive edits from multiple new accounts and IPs. Two new SPAs have been identified as sockpuppets and blocked already. Disruptive edits have been focused on removing well-sourced accusations of misconduct from the subject's page. The article should be protected temporarily to mitigate the issue. —Ganesha811 (talk) 22:45, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Block evasion by User:Unkownsolidier from Greece.

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.
Reason: (The redirect, not its target): The page was preemptively protected without prior deletion in logs. No prior history of vandalism. Requesting extended confirmed protection or autoconfirmed protection as WP:Featured articles is autoconfirmed-protected. 2003 LN6 07:02, 29 August 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.

Autopatrolled[edit]
Been on Wikipedia for a few years now. Mainly created BLPs. Requesting for autopatrolled rights to reduce the backlog of new page patrollers. I declare that I've understood verifiability, notability and copyrights. SerChevalerie (talk) 21:21, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
I have been an editor since 2020, but only really started ramping up my edits in February of this year. I have made 320+ pages (at least 4 of them are from redirects), 166+ of which have been in the last 6 days (as of August 29). Another user (Ryan shell) suggested that I should apply. The only major issue that my articles have had in the past was me using AI, which I have acknowledged was wrong and promised not to do it again to an administrator, who worked with me on how to properly find info for articles without using AI. Most of my articles are stubs, and I feel like they can clog up the New Pages Feed a bit. Since I know this will be brought up, of the 4 pages I have started that have been deleted, one was an April Fools joke page that I didn't realize wasn't allowed, one was from an AfD, and the other two are from the above AI issue.

Experienced and frequent editor. Knowledgeable in article creation and assessment. Ktkvtsh (talk) 23:10, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
I have been contributing to Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Commons for over 10 years, especially on transportation-related topics. Since 2015, I have been serving as a Patroller on Turkish Wikipedia, which I believe has given me sufficient experience. Although I have some shortcomings, I believe I have a good understanding of the policies, which is why I would like to apply for this access level. Thanks for considering this request. bluetime93 💬 14:07, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
I have created well over 180 mainspace articles, including twenty-eight in the last three months, and seven since the start of August. I regularly create articles on Antigua and Barbuda-related topics, which I have been doing since November 2020. CROIXtalk 13:06, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

New page reviewer[edit]
I had planned to gain more experience with AfC before applying for this right, but I would be interested in taking part in next month's backlog drive. I have some experience with AfD (a couple of nominations and about 40 !votes), and I have been using the AfC tool since June. Mgp28 (talk) 09:43, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
I am familiar with Wikipedia policies and want to help with the backlogs. Although this is my first time, I have experience reviewing new articles in WP:Tambayan Philippines. I would like to contribute to reducing the backlog. Royiswariii (talk) 04:23, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

I am requesting the page reviewer right to participate in next September's drive. I have experience with AfD (2 noms and 75 !votes). — Alien333 ( what I did
Had a former request, which was sent to the two-month trial. Since the two months recently ended, I wanted to ask for an extension. My account passes all the guidelines, and I reviewed many articles.
Wanting to participate in the September reviewing backlog drive. Have reviewed pages in the past but believe I lost the right due to inactivity for a few years. Have a solid civility record and good knowledge of all the relevant guidelines/policies. StewdioMACK (talk) 10:05, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
Not planning to get super into reviewing, but when I come across solid unindexed articles it would be helpful to be able to push them along. Thanks. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 03:41, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
I made a request about a month ago but later declined, I spent more time at the AfD now and even become an AfC probational reviewer. I want to help and participate with the September backlog drive. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 04:06, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to apply for NPR for the September backlog drive. I meet the 500 mainspace editd, and have some experience in the field. I am also a Pending Changes Reviewer and Rollbacker. Thanks for considering me. Lordseriouspig 13:07, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Requests for page mover |

Page mover[edit]
From time to time, I make the occasional page move, these are pretty much always uncontroversial moves. After seeing a move of mine from 6 months ago reviewed just today, I have decided, in the interest of reducing the backlog of editors who have to review my pages, to ask for this permission. Allan Nonymous (talk) 18:08, 26 August 2024 (UTC) Allan Nonymous (talk) 18:08, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
I want to help with the renaming of various LGBTQ child pages as a result follow-up to the main article LGBTQ now being LGBTQ as a result of the concluded Talk:LGBTQ#Requested move 14 August 2024 discussion that I initiated. Most of the child pages all have existing redirects that need to be page swapped and many are not just 1-iteration, so need to WP:ROUNDROBIN swapped, for which Page Mover permissions are required. I am aware of the policies around page moving and will respect the permissions as such. Raladic (talk) 16:43, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
General moves. Recently I've wanted to move some voting theory articles (e.g. participation criterion) to rephrase them in terms of their associated paradoxes (e.g. the no show paradox). I've typically found this makes them more intuitive to most people. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 00:17, 28 August 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.
