Current requests for increase in protection level
[edit]Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create 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 create protection: Repeatedly recreated – This category should be protected until April 2 at the very least, when new information about the Nintendo Switch 2 will be announced by Nintendo. GSK (talk • edits) 05:14, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
Done Isabelle Belato 🏳🌈 12:46, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent WP:BLOCKEVASION by the IPs of User:Caspidarya. HistoryofIran (talk) 12:20, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Isabelle Belato 🏳🌈 12:45, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Vandalism and edit waring, mainly from the same user who I suggest blocking Sushidude21! (talk) 12:25, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment. Authentic2024 (talk · contribs), who is the reason this request has been filed, is an hour-old account and has so far been solely dedicated to blanking sections of the page based on personal judgements. I have reason to suspect there may be a COI in this. Borgenland (talk) 12:48, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Sushidude21! It would also be nice if sources can be found other than Twitter, although that does not excuse the other editor from wholesale whitewashing the page. Borgenland (talk) 12:57, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Recurring unsourced edits on a recently deceased person, particularly in place of death. Borgenland (talk) 12:45, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Unsourced content addition and vandalism spurred by a reported transfer. Entranced98 (talk) 13:12, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: IP edit warring over ungrammatical content and uncited additions, in addition to blanking {{cn}}. Not cut-and-dry vandalism, but rapidly up against 3RR with zero responses to direct attempts at engagement. This article has a history of edit warring and block evasion from IP editors, I don’t know if that’s what’s happening here. Warrenᚋᚐᚊᚔ 14:19, 26 January 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.
Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government
[edit]- Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP editors kept on adding Trump "Declare that all Americans are now legally female. Cassiopeia talk 02:23, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Cassiopeia: I believe you want the talk page semi-protected (the article is already indefinitely semi-protected). I'll leave that for other opinions but a quick look makes me think there is not enough disruptive activity to warrant that? The meme is silly and if it really is added frequently, semi would be justified but it currently appears to be just a couple of IPs commenting reasonably (well it would be reasonable if the meme weren't silly). Johnuniq (talk) 02:55, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 10:46, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: The protection is not needed because it must edited to be corrected — Preceding unsigned comment added by Panekasos (talk • contribs) 04:28, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
Comment: The talk page isn't protected. Make an edit request there. Sumanuil. (talk to me) 06:32, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Favonian (talk) 10:47, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: The page was deleted for inactivity but is now active and we would like to make it undeleted. Girls Town Jerusalem (talk) 08:52, 26 January 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]
I've seen this editor's work on multiple occasions at New Page Review. Has created 208 pages, none deleted, more than 3/4 of them B-class. High-quality page creation with infoboxes, quality references with proper formatting, images, etc., requiring no cleanup by reviewers. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
I would like to request auto-patrolled rights on Wikipedia. I have been actively contributing to the project and have created more than 30 of articles to date, which adhere to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I believe my experience and attention to detail make me a good fit for this role. Granting me auto-patrolled rights would help reduce the workload on other patrollers by automatically marking my new pages as reviewed. Please feel free to review my contributions and articles to ensure they meet the necessary standards. Let me know if any additional information is required. Thank you for considering my request! Needforname (talk) 17:39, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights Ahola .O (talk) 22:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC) I am requesting the autopatrolled user right because I have been actively contributing to Wikipedia and believe that my experience and adherence to Wikipedia's guidelines make me a suitable candidate for this right, I have created over 25 articles, all of which comply with Wikipedia's notability guidelines and content policies. My contributions have consistently aimed to enhance the quality and reliability of the encyclopedia. I believe that granting me the autopatrolled user right will help reduce the workload of new page patrollers and allow me to continue contributing to Wikipedia more efficiently. Thank you for considering my request. Ahola .O (talk)
Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights I have created almost 50 articles and whilst producing these articles I have developed my understanding of wikipedia policies, conformed with the rules for biographies of living persons and have improved the content and formatting of numerous articles. SDGB1217 (talk) 14:46, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I have created 75+ articles, since I got autopatrolled mostly focusing on television series. For transparency, I'm still working on the feedback received from @Schwede66 in my last request. And I intent to keep doing the good work. Thanks for your consideration. Wishing the community a prosperous new year. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 06:56, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Concise, well-written and sufficiently articles, mostly with a royal or Church of England focus. I looked at an articles of theirs as part of NPP, and found it to be up to standard without editing. Others look reasonable too. Klbrain (talk) 12:15, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
I’m requesting Autopatrolled rights for my account. I have contributed a significant number of edits, and my contributions are well-sourced and meet notability standards. I believe this rights would help my workflow and reduce the load on reviewers. 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 12:56, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

New page reviewer[edit]
I am editing Wikipedia since 10 months and i had created dozens of articles and also participated in deletion discussions and also nominated some articles for AfD and most of them got deleted. Also i exapanded some articles of stub category and my area of interest are Politics, Rajasthan, BLPs, settlement articles, etc. Now i want to work with other editors on New page reviewing and i am requesting for a one month rights, firstly as a trial. TheSlumPanda (talk) 08:06, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Hello. I am requesting this permission as I would be interested to help at the near-permanent New Pages Feed backlog, when my other work here allows me to do so. I am aware of the relevant content policies and guidelines, especially when it comes to NPOV and BLP. If granted, I intend to use it responsibly, like I do with my other permissions. As for my own record, I have created over 600 articles so far, with few deleted. I already have autopatrolled and rollback permissions. As for my experience, I have been around for almost 15 years, with c. 150,000 edits. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 13:34, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I am requesting NPR rights to help maintain the quality of new pages and ensure Wikipedia’s standards. I will handle this role responsibly. I understand Wikipedia’s notability, verifiability, and content policies like WP:NPOV and reliable sourcing. I’m also aware of the need to prevent spam, promotional content, and poorly sourced articles. Thankyou! 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 06:59, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Page mover[edit]
I have had page mover temporarily since November 2024. I believe I have made good use of it, and since it will expire automatically in a week I am here to request it be extended. I have handled around eighty requests at WP:RM/TR link and closed a few RMs. As far as I remember, the only conflict was about my close of an RM at Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (discussion can be found on my Talk page). Toadspike [Talk] 17:32, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
I think I meet all the criteria, I have been an editor for more than 6 months, I have over 3000 edits, I have participated in more than 50 move requests, and I've never been blocked. History6042😊 (Contact me) 21:00, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
Recently active back at RM for the past three months after being extremely active many years ago. I was brought to MR twice in 2013 & 2015 and in both cases my closure was endorsed. I have !voted recently in most of the recent months of MR and always aligned with consensus. Spent the last three months getting reacquainted with the changes in policy and approaches to RM's and have started to perform some closures. Would appreciate the bit to help reduce the need for CSD#G6 and/or RM/TR to complete some of these moves. Thanks! TiggerJay (talk) 08:47, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
I have lots of experience in the WP:TW scale of reverting edits, and wish to continue this through WP:PENDING BryceM2001 (talk) 20:40, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
I'd like to request pending changes review rights because I am familiar with the policy and this would help me with my vandalism patrols. Furthermore, I am currently trying to accept a request, but I do not have the permissions. Thanks! Ali Beary (talk2me!) (stalk me?!) 13:29, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
My sole purpose of editing or the desire to review edits is for the wellbeing of Wikipedia. I made a few pages and made 1300+ edits. I believe in quality not quantity. TrueMoriarty (talk) 17:36, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Rollback[edit]
I’m requesting rollback tool to help with vandalism fighting more effectively. I’ve been active in counter-vandalism work and have a good understanding of policies like WP:VAND and WP:AGF. While I’ve made mistakes in the past, I’ve taken the feedback onboard, slowed down, and focused on making more accurate judgements. Rollback would allow me to handle clear vandalism more efficiently without cluttering edit histories. I’m committed to using it responsibly and only for obvious cases of vandalism, leaving more complex issues for discussion or reporting. Thank you for considering my request.

"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.
