Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

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.


Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Anonymous IPs have been repeatedly editing the page to remove "political woke ideology" (reference to same-sex relationships), and in doing so introducing multiple errors in content, form, and referencing. This is making the page less usable as well and undermining WP:NPOV and WP:No queerphobia. AmityCity ( talk) 17:49, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Sorry, but activity is simply too low for protection at this time, even with a CTOP enhancement. El_C 19:48, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Makes sense, thanks. Will just keep an eye on the page given it's been infrequent. AmityCity ( talk) 21:36, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Three seemingly different editors in the last 12 hours. SSSB ( talk) 22:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Indefinite semi-protection: Violations of WP:BLP, he is a popular streamer so semi protecting it will stop the vandalism. Maxerajas31 ( talk) 01:03, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

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.

Current requests for edits to a protected page

Request a specific to a protected page
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.


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)

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:

  • Both this page and its Talk or Discussion page are protected for my user account. Thus, submitting the request here.
  • If I can be given adequate permissions, I can create the updated screenshot and update the page.
  • This tutorial page is fantastic. Thank you for making it.
  • The page is classified as "High-Importance" mostly because it is the first Help article a new user sees when they click on their username. WordLunch ( talk) 15:12, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Not done. @ WordLunch: It is not hard for you to gain permissions to edit that page. Just make 8 more improvements anywhere on Wikipedia over the next 2 days and you'll be autoconfirmed, which is sufficient to make the changes yourself. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 00:11, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

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.

Question, though I am not an administrator, I see that you have published accepted AFC submissions, even if they lack citations or are in need of some fixing. And some have orange banners on them. Why is this? —  48 JCL 01:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
@ 48JCL: As they should. The standard at acceptance at AfC is that the article would probably survive an AfD. Nothing more. Declining a draft for surmountable problems like a lack of citations or pretty much anything covered by a cleanup banner is inappropriate. –  Joe ( talk) 08:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
I spot checked the 4 most recent accepts and they had lots of citations at time of acceptance. Feel free to link to the specific draft accepts you are concerned with. A complete lack of citations is a valid draftification reason and valid AFC decline reason, but I am not seeing that here. A major lack of citations such as entire paragraphs missing a citation (and also not supported by any WP:GENREFs) could be a valid decline reason ( WP:V is policy after all). But it may also be reasonable to accept a draft that is mostly cited and just missing a couple citations, such as Draft:Norah Fulcher. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 13:33, 19 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!

I see you found the IP at AfC who submits soundtrack articles (41 accepts of soundtracks it looks like). I'm glad to see you've started to accept drafts at AfC, instead of just declining (a ratio of 1 accepted to 348 declined at the time of the last application). I do still have concerns about your experience at AFD, given that, of your last 40 votes, all but 2 of them were pile on votes where the result had basically already been decided based on the number of votes for the conclusion you chose. You accepted one piece of criticism from me, your lack of accepts at AfC, but you do still appear to be pile on voting. Honestly, I'm not sold, but I'll leave it up to someone else whether they want to grant you a trial or not. Hey man im josh ( talk) 18:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your feedback. I understand your points, I've made lots of contributions recently, and I hope I will be granted a trial to demonstrate my willingness to contribute positively. Best, Waqar 💬 07:49, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to say that I've been working so hard for the past couple of months. I've made so many contributions to AFCs, I've reviewed over 1,160 articles (accepts: 138, declines: 670, and the rest either rejected or speedily deleted) so far. I'm also actively patrolling the new page feed, adding maintenance tags, and tagging articles for speedy deletion like A3, A7, and G11. I've drafted more than 200 articles that either lacked reliable sources or needed additional sources. In the AFD discussions, I voted on more than 150 pages. Without considering the no consensus results, 98.6% of my AfD's were matches, and even though the votes were assumed to be piles on voting, most of my recent votes were very detailed and specific and weren't pointing towards anyone, but I will accept their valuable advice and try my best to make improvements at AFDs as well. Having said that, I believe that all those contributions exhibit my hard work and dedication. I hope I get a chance to at least prove myself by patrolling new pages, and I would be more than happy to help with the backlog. Thanks for your time and consideration. Waqar 💬 18:10, 27 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)

@ Persian-art-and-culture: Hi. You have fewer edits than people who are usually granted this permission, but that isn't inherently a problem. However, I noticed you submitted this version of Leili Anvar, a BLP which left some sentences unsourced. Can you explain your thought process there? Elli ( talk | contribs) 14:51, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Dear Elli, Thank you so much for reviewing my request and for your message.
That’s true; the article I created for Leili Anvar was one of the first subjects I thought should be in English Wikipedia since she is an important bridge between French and Persian literature. The article was mostly based on articles on French and Persian wikis, and unfortunately, other than unsourced sentences, there were many mistakes in layout, style, and so forth. But I always learn and open to learn from experienced fellows and I learned a lot from all those amazing wikipedians from the Women in Red Project.
Also, as you can see, I’m not eager to create countless articles. I have made very few articles here and on the Persian wiki, and I keep polishing them all the time, both mine and others’ articles.
But if you think it is still soon for me to step forward, I understand and I respect that from the bottom of my heart; I will keep polishing articles and learn, and I will apply later. Thanks again. Persian-art-and-culture ( talk) 21:37, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
@ Persian-art-and-culture: I think you would do well with a bit more experience making sure articles are properly sourced, as that's pretty important for New Page Patrol.

Dear @ Elli, Thank you very much for your kind reply and your attention; I appreciate your decision and I understand the importance of experience.

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)

@ OnlyNano: have you come across much pagemove vandalism that you were unable to reverse? You should be able to revert moves, so long as the redirect page hasn't been edited since the move. Elli ( talk | contribs) 15:45, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
From just using anti-vandalism tools (as in just having a lot of experience with anti-vandalism, the tools themselves don't have built in sleeper detection, haha), I can almost tell which accounts end up being sleepers for various purposes. However, I haven't really tracked any users that I suspect, due to me not knowing it is possible to circumvent the need for this privilege for my purpose. OnlyNano talk 16:03, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
@ OnlyNano: I'm not really sure how having this permission would help you much with your anti-vandal work. I don't think pagemove vandalism is that common so most of those sleepers you might find probably wouldn't be planning on it anyway? You're right on the borderline for getting the permission granted in terms of tenure and edits, but you don't really engage in many pagemoves so I'm inclined to not grant it at this point. If you start doing WP:NPP (and draftifying articles) or start participating in RMs more, I'd probably grant the permission at that point as I don't see any red flags, though. Elli ( talk | contribs) 16:21, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
That sounds good, thanks. I think this has been helpful, and I will make an effort to monitor those accounts more, and re-assess if this privilege would be something I would be using (aside from the standard privileges) frequently enough to warrent the granting of this privilage. I have been looking into getting into doing NPP, however, I think it's best I put a pause on this request, especially with this new information. I plan to come back if I do decide to participate in NPP, and/or I find that these accounts I am referencing are in fact, motivated with page-move vandalism in mind. Thank you very much for all your help today! OnlyNano talk 16:30, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Alright, then marking this as  Not done. Feel free to reapply if/when you have more of a use for the permission. Elli ( talk | contribs) 16:34, 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: So, there are two blocks here, both for warring at Russian Civil War. Can you explain what was problematic about your behavior in those cases, and how you'll avoid that going forwards? Elli ( talk | contribs) 19:43, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Sure. The first was my fault in an uncomplicated way: I thought I was in the right because of content guidelines, but was negligent as to the spirit of 3RR as a behavioral guideline, in that I was ultimately being disruptive by perpetuating further cycles of reverts even if I was enforcing consensus, as it were.
The second is a tad more nuanced, though still a learning experience: I thought there was an explicit guideline that the content under discussion during an RfC should not be altered from when the RfC began. While I didn't violate the letter of 3RR here, if I realized there was no such guideline, I wouldn't have engaged in any reversions myself. When I explained this error to the blocking admin, the block was lifted. Like I said, still a learning experience. To sum up, I've had to do better over the past few months not letting bad-faith and gray-faith editors use me as an "amplifier" for disruption in the moment.
If you have any more questions, please let me know? Remsense 19:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

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 rollback

Rollback

I've been patrolling recent changes for a while now, using Twinkle to warn members. I have over 200 mainspace edits, and I'm extended confirmed with over 700 edits total. I've also been doing NPP for a little too. I'd like to use rollback for more advanced tools such as Huggle and AntiVandal. Thanks, Lord serious pig 06:14, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? - Fastily 10:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
I don’t believe I'm not, @ Fastily:, I warn people using twinkle, here is my warn logs: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special%3AContributions&target=Lordseriouspig&namespace=3&tagfilter=twinkle&start=&end=&limit=50. Lord serious pig 20:31, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done While you appear to be on the right track, you only have a few days' worth of anti-vandalism experience and that's simply too few reverts for me to evaluate whether you'd be able to use the tool appropriately. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges ( Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 10:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Requests for template editor

Template editor

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.

    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

    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.


    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Anonymous IPs have been repeatedly editing the page to remove "political woke ideology" (reference to same-sex relationships), and in doing so introducing multiple errors in content, form, and referencing. This is making the page less usable as well and undermining WP:NPOV and WP:No queerphobia. AmityCity ( talk) 17:49, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Sorry, but activity is simply too low for protection at this time, even with a CTOP enhancement. El_C 19:48, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    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.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific to a protected page
    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.


    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)

    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:

    • Both this page and its Talk or Discussion page are protected for my user account. Thus, submitting the request here.
    • If I can be given adequate permissions, I can create the updated screenshot and update the page.

    Question, though I am not an administrator, I see that you have published accepted AFC submissions, even if they lack citations or are in need of some fixing. And some have orange banners on them. Why is this? —  48 JCL 01:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
    @ 48JCL: As they should. The standard at acceptance at AfC is that the article would probably survive an AfD. Nothing more. Declining a draft for surmountable problems like a lack of citations or pretty much anything covered by a cleanup banner is inappropriate. –  Joe ( talk) 08:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
    I spot checked the 4 most recent accepts and they had lots of citations at time of acceptance. Feel free to link to the specific draft accepts you are concerned with. A complete lack of citations is a valid draftification reason and valid AFC decline reason, but I am not seeing that here. A major lack of citations such as entire paragraphs missing a citation (and also not supported by any WP:GENREFs) could be a valid decline reason ( WP:V is policy after all). But it may also be reasonable to accept a draft that is mostly cited and just missing a couple citations, such as Draft:Norah Fulcher. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 13:33, 19 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!

    I see you found the IP at AfC who submits soundtrack articles (41 accepts of soundtracks it looks like). I'm glad to see you've started to accept drafts at AfC, instead of just declining (a ratio of 1 accepted to 348 declined at the time of the last application). I do still have concerns about your experience at AFD, given that, of your last 40 votes, all but 2 of them were pile on votes where the result had basically already been decided based on the number of votes for the conclusion you chose. You accepted one piece of criticism from me, your lack of accepts at AfC, but you do still appear to be pile on voting. Honestly, I'm not sold, but I'll leave it up to someone else whether they want to grant you a trial or not. Hey man im josh ( talk) 18:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
    Thank you for your feedback. I understand your points, I've made lots of contributions recently, and I hope I will be granted a trial to demonstrate my willingness to contribute positively. Best, Waqar 💬 07:49, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
    I'd like to say that I've been working so hard for the past couple of months. I've made so many contributions to AFCs, I've reviewed over 1,160 articles (accepts: 138, declines: 670, and the rest either rejected or speedily deleted) so far. I'm also actively patrolling the new page feed, adding maintenance tags, and tagging articles for speedy deletion like A3, A7, and G11. I've drafted more than 200 articles that either lacked reliable sources or needed additional sources. In the AFD discussions, I voted on more than 150 pages. Without considering the no consensus results, 98.6% of my AfD's were matches, and even though the votes were assumed to be piles on voting, most of my recent votes were very detailed and specific and weren't pointing towards anyone, but I will accept their valuable advice and try my best to make improvements at AFDs as well. Having said that, I believe that all those contributions exhibit my hard work and dedication. I hope I get a chance to at least prove myself by patrolling new pages, and I would be more than happy to help with the backlog. Thanks for your time and consideration.

    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)

    @ Persian-art-and-culture: Hi. You have fewer edits than people who are usually granted this permission, but that isn't inherently a problem. However, I noticed you submitted this version of Leili Anvar, a BLP which left some sentences unsourced. Can you explain your thought process there? Elli ( talk | contribs) 14:51, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
    Dear Elli, Thank you so much for reviewing my request and for your message.
    That’s true; the article I created for Leili Anvar was one of the first subjects I thought should be in English Wikipedia since she is an important bridge between French and Persian literature. The article was mostly based on articles on French and Persian wikis, and unfortunately, other than unsourced sentences, there were many mistakes in layout, style, and so forth. But I always learn and open to learn from experienced fellows and I learned a lot from all those amazing wikipedians from the Women in Red Project.
    Also, as you can see, I’m not eager to create countless articles. I have made very few articles here and on the Persian wiki, and I keep polishing them all the time, both mine and others’ articles.
    But if you think it is still soon for me to step forward, I understand and I respect that from the bottom of my heart; I will keep polishing articles and learn, and I will apply later. Thanks again. Persian-art-and-culture ( talk) 21:37, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
    @ Persian-art-and-culture: I think you would do well with a bit more experience making sure articles are properly sourced, as that's pretty important for New Page Patrol. Will mark this as  Not done for now, but do feel free to reapply once you have more experience. Let me know if you have any questions as I'd be happy to help :) Elli ( talk | contribs) 01:48, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
    Dear @ Elli, Thank you very much for your kind reply and your attention; I appreciate your decision and I understand the importance of experience. I'll reapply later and as you said with more experience. meanwhile I will learn from you fellow Wikipedians. cheers! Persian-art-and-culture ( talk) 09:46, 29 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 am looking to be a new page reviewer to try out new avenues for ways I can contribute to Wikipedia.

    Requests for page mover

    Page mover


    I have been editing for over 7 years and I plan on using this permission in order to help with discussions on WP:RM and deal with cross-redirects for articles that should have more disambiguated titles. KingSkyLord ( talk | contribs) 12:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

    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 Reply to icon  mention me on reply) '''[[ User:CanonNi]]''' ( talkcontribs) 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)

    @ OnlyNano: have you come across much pagemove vandalism that you were unable to reverse? You should be able to revert moves, so long as the redirect page hasn't been edited since the move. Elli ( talk | contribs) 15:45, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
    From just using anti-vandalism tools (as in just having a lot of experience with anti-vandalism, the tools themselves don't have built in sleeper detection, haha), I can almost tell which accounts end up being sleepers for various purposes. However, I haven't really tracked any users that I suspect, due to me not knowing it is possible to circumvent the need for this privilege for my purpose. OnlyNano talk 16:03, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
    @ OnlyNano: I'm not really sure how having this permission would help you much with your anti-vandal work. I don't think pagemove vandalism is that common so most of those sleepers you might find probably wouldn't be planning on it anyway? You're right on the borderline for getting the permission granted in terms of tenure and edits, but you don't really engage in many pagemoves so I'm inclined to not grant it at this point. If you start doing WP:NPP (and draftifying articles) or start participating in RMs more, I'd probably grant the permission at that point as I don't see any red flags, though. Elli ( talk | contribs) 16:21, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
    That sounds good, thanks. I think this has been helpful, and I will make an effort to monitor those accounts more, and re-assess if this privilege would be something I would be using (aside from the standard privileges) frequently enough to warrent the granting of this privilage. I have been looking into getting into doing NPP, however, I think it's best I put a pause on this request, especially with this new information. I plan to come back if I do decide to participate in NPP, and/or I find that these accounts I am referencing are in fact, motivated with page-move vandalism in mind. Thank you very much for all your help today! OnlyNano talk 16:30, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
    Alright, then marking this as  Not done. Feel free to reapply if/when you have more of a use for the permission. Elli ( talk | contribs) 16:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
    Perfect, thanks! OnlyNano talk 16:37, 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: So, there are two blocks here, both for warring at Russian Civil War. Can you explain what was problematic about your behavior in those cases, and how you'll avoid that going forwards? Elli ( talk | contribs) 19:43, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
    Sure. The first was my fault in an uncomplicated way: I thought I was in the right because of content guidelines, but was negligent as to the spirit of 3RR as a behavioral guideline, in that I was ultimately being disruptive by perpetuating further cycles of reverts even if I was enforcing consensus, as it were.
    The second is a tad more nuanced, though still a learning experience: I thought there was an explicit guideline that the content under discussion during an RfC should not be altered from when the RfC began. While I didn't violate the letter of 3RR here, if I realized there was no such guideline, I wouldn't have engaged in any reversions myself. When I explained this error to the blocking admin, the block was lifted. Like I said, still a learning experience. To sum up, I've had to do better over the past few months not letting bad-faith and gray-faith editors use me as an "amplifier" for disruption in the moment.

    Requests for pending changes reviewer

    Pending changes reviewer

    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.

    Requests for rollback

    Rollback

    I've been patrolling recent changes for a while now, using Twinkle to warn members. I have over 200 mainspace edits, and I'm extended confirmed with over 700 edits total. I've also been doing NPP for a little too. I'd like to use rollback for more advanced tools such as Huggle and AntiVandal. Thanks, Lord serious pig 06:14, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

    I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? - Fastily 10:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 10:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

    Requests for template editor

    Template editor

    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.
