In "Early life and education", the article says "In 2003 she enrolled at the University of Mississippi". The source for that paragraph as archived ( https://archive.ph/ek0sE) states that she "dropped out for good in 2001".
I suggest changing "In 2003 she enrolled..." to something like "She enrolled at the University of Mississippi, studying journalism and political science and writing for The Daily Mississippian, but left the school in 2001." Or of course, add a source for her enrolling in 2003. Elizabeth Internet ( talk) 06:56, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
To add a section with the template {{ edit protected}}: To add "Hong Kong since 27 July 2024" to the first paragraph of the article, based on the following sources: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. 119.237.212.104 ( talk) 14:53, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
This page guides the user on how to Publish Changes, how to Mark Editing as Minor, and how to add the page to a user's Watchlist. The screenshot on this page (shown below), does not show options for marking the edits as minor or adding the page to a Watchlist, as the screentshot might be an older version of the "Save your changes" dialog box.
I request you to update the screenshot to show the current version of the "Save your changes" dialog box. A version of that screenshot can be found here, however, that screenshot uses a red rectangle to focus on marking your edits as minor.
A few final thoughts:

Dear Wikipedia Administrators, I am writing to request extended confirmed user rights. I have come across several articles on Wikipedia that are incomplete or contain misleading information, and are currently under the extended confirmed protection policy. I believe these articles require attention and correction. Granting me extended confirmed user permissions would enable me to amend and improve these articles. Thank you for considering my request.

Hello there, I am interested tn helping out in new page reviewing as there are very large articles backlog and love to do so. Xegma (talk) 07:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
I would like to request new page reviewer rights to help review newly-created articles and lower the backlog. I have accepted lots of drafts at AFC and participated in many AfDs with deep discussions to exhibit my knowledge of notability, as I was advised previously. Thanks! Waqar 💬 19:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
With my expertise in the field, I am confident in my ability to assist fellow Wikipedians in reviewing newly created articles on Iranian art and culture, with a particular focus on modern and contemporary art. I would be grateful for the opportunity to contribute in this capacity and respectfully request the necessary permissions to do so. Persian-art-and-culture ( talk) 10:59, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Experience with AfC reviewing, as well as tagging pages for CSD (although I do not often tag pages for CSD). I meet all of the criteria, and have read the expectations and requirements for this role.

I'm a somewhat active AfC reviewer and new page patroller, so I often have to move pages to and from draftspace. Page mover rights will help reduce the number of R2 tags in the backlog. I also have some prior experience in RMs. Thanks for considering my request. (please mention me on reply) '''[[ User:CanonNi]]''' ( talk • contribs) 14:59, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
I am an active AfC reviewer, and I frequently move pages, either from userspace to draftspace, or publishing articles. My request for this privilege comes from my anti-vandalism work (which I am highly involved in). I notice several sleeper accounts, in their early stages, however I am unable to effectively take action with move vandalism in a productive manner. OnlyNano talk 15:20, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Was granted page mover for a few months; now requesting it to be extended as the expiry date is coming up. I admit in the interim I earned a 24h block for a 3RR violation that I had to learn from, so I understand if that's a reason it would be appropriate to decline this. Remsense 诉 19:17, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey there! I'm ThatOneWolf, and, I know I've been here twice before, but those times I admit I didn't really get the whole idea of experience and stuff. Plus, my last request was months ago. I took a little break recently when I just was checking my talk page and watchlist, but now I've come back to editing. Anyway, the reason I'm requesting Reviewer rights now is because I feel like I could help in that area, with most of my edits being vandalism reversions. I also feel I suitably warn editors when I think they are intending to vandalize, or just let them know if it seems they could be trying to help. I've read all the policies listed in Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, and am very familiar with the copyright laws. This is why I feel I would be more fit now to receive this right. Thanks for reading! -- ThatOneWolf ( Chat Edits 12:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Requests for template editor |

view requests)
I am a frequent editor and creator of templates and modules, and I have encountered several instances where having the template editor permission would be helpful. Many of my requested edits on protected templates have been performing minor visual fixes or fixing small bugs with the template's logic. For these uncontroversial edits, having to submit a request and involve another editor feels unnecessary, considering the nature of the requested edits. In other cases with more significant changes, going through the edit request process works fine for the most part, but I like to be able to avoid the process because of the backlog the edit queue can have at times and the added potential confusion added by having to request technical changes. Because of this, I'd much rather be able to have a standard discussion on template talk pages, if necessary, followed by implementing the agreed upon changes myself rather than having to request someone else to implement the changes. In the near future, I plan on exploring adding support for the new dark mode to more templates and being able to implement these changes on protected templates myself would be of great help. In the future, I would also like to use my technical knowledge of wikitext and Lua to help with processing the template edit request queue. Another issue that the template editor permission would resolve is that several templates I've created or rewrote are now template editor protected: Template:For-multi, Template:Country name, Template:Yearly archive list/display, Template:Visible anchor/styles.css, Template:Divbox/styles.css, and Module:Outdent. As a result, I am unable to edit them, which makes several of them difficult to maintain. Per the guidelines, three templates sandboxes I've worked on include Module:Jcon/sandbox, Template:Visible anchor/sandbox/styles.css, and Template:Infobox road/sandbox and at some requested template edits are [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]. Also, I acknowledge that I performed what ended up being (unintentionally) disruptive templates several years ago. Since then, I have learned a lot about collaborating with others on Wikipedia and being mindful of the impact template edits can have on articles across the wiki. Since then, I have been much more careful with the edits I perform, as these past experiences have shown me the dangers of not doing so. With the template edit permission, I intend to take from these past mistakes, and I will follow the best practices to ensure the template edits I perform are well-tested, agreed upon, and non-disruptive. I find that now I am very cautious with my template edits, and I always create thorough test cases (e.g. Template:Jcon/testcases) before performing changes. – BrandonXLF ( talk) 19:08, 28 July 2024 (UTC) |
