Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Reason: I am requesting semi-protection for this article due to repeated disruptive edits and unsourced changes made by anonymous IP users. These edits include the reversion of verified and properly sourced content, as well as the addition of misleading or speculative information—particularly regarding player transfers and kit updates. The IP user(s) have continue to ignore Wikipedia’s content guidelines and reliable sourcing policy. Semi-protection would help maintain the article's accuracy and prevent further vandalism or bad-faith edits. Reez95 (talk) 00:15, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Declined Looks like a single editor. Discuss on the talk page and seek WP:CONSENSUS. If the editing is disruptive warn them and then take the matter to ANI or ANEW as appropriate. Ad Orientem (talk) 00:55, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Dear Wikipedia Administrator,

I’m writing to express concern about an article related to my community and personal contributions. Recently, my name and historical context were removed from the article, and it appears the content has been altered to promote another individual or narrative. This includes:

Renaming the article and removing original references

Replacing my name with someone else's, often without proper citations

Redirecting attention to unrelated individuals or sources (e.g., Reddit posts)

This feels like an intentional hijacking of the article, and it undermines the cultural and historical accuracy of the topic. I respectfully request a review of the edit history and restoration of the original, verifiable content. I’m happy to provide sources and documentation to support the original version.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Sincerely, Sayed Sajjad Hussain Musavi Kashifrazashah (talk) 01:47, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Declined @Kashifrazashah You are the only editor to have made substantive edits to that draft page. Further, if you are writing about yourself, see WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY for why that's a bad ideaj. —C.Fred (talk) 01:50, 25 July 2025 (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 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.

Current requests for edits to a protected page

Request a specific edit 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.

WP:PERM

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

Requested this permission ~2 months ago, denied because I was mostly creating auto-notable stubs. I think I have expanded the types of articles I create, including well-sourced local pages or biographical entries where I take time to source subjects that do not inherently meet a generic notability criteria. (I still do create auto-notable pages sometimes, but those no longer make up the majority of pages I create.) As a new page reviewer, I got good experience with the notability guidelines reviewing articles during the backlog drive WP:MAY25, and also participating in AfD. Thought about requesting again as I have run into a few of my own pages while reviewing pages that are in topics I contribute to/am interested in. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Also wanted to mention that if I am unsure of a subject's notability, I will utilize WP:AFC for my own articles occasionally Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:18, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([2]). MusikBot talk 02:20, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
Came here to request this permission for a different user, but since Yoblyblob is referencing their WP:MAY25 NPP work, it is worth noting that among the re-reviews of each patroller's work, 14/17 of their patrol decisions were approved. Of the remainder, two were drafted/redirected as WP:TOOSOON coverage of 2026 state elections and one was drafted for lacking enough coverage to qualify under WP:NEVENT. Considering they were the fifth most active patroller of the drive, this accuracy is good, not great. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 19:20, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

7-year vet of the site, multiple GANs and DYKs, 51 mainspace articles created of which 49 are live (G6 and G7 deletions for the other two). Etzedek24 (Talk) (Contribs) 20:54, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

 Done Chetsford (talk) 20:03, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

I have been on Wikipedia for more than a decade, and I truly feel that it is one of my great passions in life. I have more than 30,000 edits, and I am credited with more than 300 articles that are not Redirects or Disambiguation pages. (I personally take credit for more than 100 of these, which did not originate as Redirect pages.) Although I continue to propose Draft pages to this day when I am not 100% confident myself about notability, I frequently go straight to the mainspace and have made a number of articles that have been significant in some form or field, with my particular focus being on film industry and electoral politics pages.

Recently, I redirected a few thousand Supreme Court of the United States cases to the case volumes in which they were listed. It was a large-scale project for me, but in the end it was decided that redlinks would be better for promoting caseload knowledge, something that I agreed to and I believe will continue to service our Wikipedia community. For this reason, it might appear that I have a large number of deleted pages, but this is almost exclusively due to this particular project; I had an edit deletion rate of less than 2%, and I had not had a page that I created taken down in years, not since I was a far more novice editor. (You can read more about that SCOTUS discussion here.)

I believe that being autopatrolled will continue to allow me to contribute to the Wikipedia community, and that is why I am reaching out to ask for permissions. I am happy to answer any questions or improve any articles that I have created if there is anything noticeable that needs help. Although I have long been looking to increase my permissions and role in the community, I quite frankly have always had impostor syndrome stop me from asking, but a bit of encouragement from Liz made me try. Thank you so much! PickleG13 (talk) 20:27, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm not inclined to grant autopatrolled so soon after the SCOTUS redirect deletions, but won't object if another admin wants to grant it. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:51, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for your honest feedback, voorts. Although I hope that an admin decides to grant it, I have been on Wikipedia for a long time and I will continue to for a long time to come no matter what. Please let me know if you ever need help with anything, whether it's a full-scale project or a simple clean-up. PickleG13 (talk) 21:47, 10 July 2025 (UTC)

Regular article creator and Did you know? contributor who demonstrates understanding of the notability guidelines on a number of topics. No copyright violation troubles, and spot-checks for text–source integrity do indeed check out. Note their creation Not-deer was deleted at AfD earlier this year; I'm not inclined to give this too much weight here as it seems to have been a notability edge case, and experienced participants in that discussion gave reasonable arguments both for and against deletion.

 Done Chetsford (talk) 20:01, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

I have created over 25 new articles that meet notability guidelines and follow Wikipedia standards and guideliness. I am familiar with Wikipedia’s core content policies (NPOV, V, NOR) and believe that being autopatrolled will reduce the workload on new page patrollers. Thank you in advance Lanceloth345 (talk) 12:43, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Hey Lanceloth345, could you comment on why Petrit Malaj was deleted a few weeks ago, and what you improved when you recreated it? (Courtesy ping for Sphilbrick, who deleted under CSD G12.) Similarlly with Gjesti, which is currently in draftspace. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 13:08, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
Page Petrit Malaj was recreated again in neutral way + more sources, becouse first version had some words "sounding" not neutral at all, (my fault) as per draft:Gjesti lacking notability it's under review but explained at talk page of draft page reasons why he is notable ect. (also partecipating other editor in discussion). Lanceloth345 (talk) 13:13, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Met this user at today's Event:NYC 400 Wiknic and Edit-A-Thon with Washington Square Park, and he lamented the delay in getting his articles patrolled despite being a prolific article writer. After reviewing their work, granting the autopatrolled right would be well-deserved. Three of their article creations from 2012 were deleted as non-notable malls. His 2014 creation of Ancient Theatre of Mytilene was deleted within days under WP:G12 which is not good but also more than a decade ago. Since then, he has written 221 live articles, 100 of which are C-class, across subjects including companies, biographies, and art pieces with adherence to our notability guidelines.

Support! Low article creation activity in the trailing year, but I'm somewhat familiar with ULPS's work, and would consider him trustworthy enough for autopatrolled. Spot-checks for copyright concerns and sourcing turn up no issues. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:45, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

I am interested in helping to eliminate the backlog, particularly for articles involving Chinese, Japanese, or Korean-language sources—languages I am familiar with—that often remain stuck for long periods due to language barriers. I have experience at AFD and AFC, and while the P&G vary across Wikiprojects, I have served as an NPP on zhwiki for four years. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 08:57, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

Also, identify copyright violations if any when discovered. Thank you. Agent 007 (talk) 09:07, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm reapplying for NPR rights as my three-month trial is about to expire. I unfortunately haven't done that much patrolling during my trial as I've mostly been working in other areas, but hopefully my AfC, CSD, AfD and article creation records are enough to show that I have a sufficient understanding of policies and guidelines to be trusted with this right. If approved, I'm definitely hoping to be more active at NPP in the future to help clear the backlog. MCE89 (talk) 02:33, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to request New Page Reviewer rights to support efforts in curating new content and reducing the existing backlog. Over the course of my contributions, I’ve developed a strong understanding of key content policies, including WP:N, WP:RS, and WP:BLP, and I’ve actively participated in AfD discussions and improved multiple articles. My goal is to ensure that newly created pages meet Wikipedia's standards for neutrality, sourcing, and notability.

Requests for page mover

Page mover

While volunteering WP:UAA I find creations that should be in draftspace instead of userspace. Thus, I move using a script that requires additional steps to make a soft-redirect after moving from sandboxes/userspaces. See the log here. I kindly request this flag as it will help me to avoid leaving an unnecessary redirect as discussed at User_talk:Agent_VII#About_your_move. I also intent to use this tool if granted for WP:PMRC#3, WP:PMRC#7 when going through Special:NewPagesFeed. Thank you. Agent 007 (talk) 09:58, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

 Not done as this doesn't seem to be a frequent problem and you don't have the level of experience with moves typically expected for this permission. You can certainly request deletion when the criteria are met, and if you find yourself doing that often, feel free to come back here. But in general leaving a soft redirect is a very good solution in this situation (it's less confusing to new editors), and I think some of the advice you were given on your talk page is not necessarily right. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 07:31, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

I’m requesting to be granted the page mover right because I’m active at New Page Patrol. With this, I'll be able to move these articles without leaving a redirect would save somebody else the trouble of deleting these tagged redirects.

I believe this right will be benefit for me to contribute the project (I already have it at my native wiki). If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks in advance. Hasan (talk) 12:54, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

 Not done: judging from your log, you have only ever draftified 7 pages (2 in the last three years), which does not demonstrate a need for this right. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 07:37, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

I have been occasionally closing discussions found at WP:RM and this often results in me making requests to WP:RM/TR. All of my requests at WP:RM/TR have gone smoothly, bar two, which I learnt from and are now more cautious, especially if there are a lot pages involved in the discussion. Additionally I do an occasional bit of WP:NPP, including moving pages to draft (see my Draftify log). If granted the right I will primarily use it for round-robin moves and supressing redirects when moving articles to draft (WP:PMRC#4 and WP:PMRC#6) in order to reduce work for other editors.

Full-disclosure: I had an edit warring block three and a half months ago which was lifted, by the imposing admin, an hour after it was imposed. See Special:Permalink/1284178028#April 2025. I allowed myself to get sucked into edit warring when I should have taken the editor (now banned and who I have helped in identifying sock puppets of, refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/WikiAdvisor) to a noticeboard.

I'm going to make an exception to the usual six-month wait after an edit-warring block (WP:PMCRITERIA #4), but please be especially mindful of the conduct expectations: the right can be revoked without warning if it's used to move-war or gain an advantage in disputes.

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

Requesting access to assist with the backlog in helping to ensure pending edits meet the criteria of the Wikipedia policies & guidelines. Eulersidentity (talk) 10:13, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I'd like to request PCR rights as I've been very active in creating and substantially improving My Little Pony and mathematics articles over the last few months. I'm very familiar with the content and vandalism policies and I'd love to be able to do my part to help Wikipedia stay free of inappropriate edits—I've already been doing this for articles that are within my watchlist. Thank you for your consideration! GregariousMadness (talk to me!) 02:34, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

Desire to possess the ability to approve or reject protected article edits, having reviewed and become familiar with Wikipedia copyright and vandalism rules and guidelines; and having demonstrated a responsible record of stewardship of articles and related media over the course of this account. Thank you for your consideration and any feedback on additional qualifying criteria. OceanLoop (talk) 00:06, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting the pending changes reviewer right because I would like to ensure that articles with pending changes are regularly reviewed. I have substantial experience with reviewing recent changes and administrative processes regarding vandalism and page protection and am an active editor. Thanks!

Requests for rollback

Rollback

I've had some experience with reverting vandalism and am confident with Special:RecentChanges and Wikipedia's internal policies on vandalism. I'm requesting rollback rights to be able to fix obvious vandalism more effectively. Nixleovel (He/They) (TalkContribs) 06:20, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I need the rollback rights to help revert vandalism and bad faith edits. Allblessed (talk) 08:21, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

I have been reverting and warning vandals for a while now. As evidence for that you can see I have created ~220 user talk pages. I would find rollback particularly useful for persistent/spammy vandals. Thank you. Sophocrat (talk) 21:40, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

As a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Wildfire, I frequently patrol pages about wildfires, and undo vandalism. I frequently check Special:RecentChanges for vandalism. I have been active on Wikipedia for more the two years and have made plenty of reverts. I have made 283 edits in the past 6 days alone. CostalCal (talk) 09:30, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

  • I urge caution in granting this; editor rarely uses edit summaries, recently reverted by justified addition of a {{cn}} tag, and changed the future-proof "In yyyy x was appointed ..." to the likely-to-be-outdated "Since yyyy x has been ...", with no edit summaries in either case. They mayhave "made plenty of reverts", but were they good reverts, and with edit summaries to explain their actions? PamD 09:42, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
    @PamD, I usually add a short edit summary (Special:Contributions/CostalCal). CostalCal (talk) 10:01, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
Also this edit of a couple of months ago suggests that this editor may not be ready to be given this powerful right. PamD 15:49, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
Requests for template editor

Increasing number of edits into the template space after being an article contributor for years. Running across more protected templates, such as Infobox gymnast, for which I'd need access.

Not sure if I'm supposed to reply to this or not? Clearly well surpass the vast majority of guidelines and a few short on some. Please advise if you have any further questions for me? GauchoDude (talk) 22:29, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
You can if you want. It's easy to run the numbers, just didn't have the bandwidth to do a full review. Primefac (talk) 22:47, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
Few questions for you:
  • Do you intend to edit LUA modules?
  • Do you intend to contribute to the other associated areas (contentmodels, edit notices, etc. Basically anything other then templates build on wikitext)?
  • Please review Wikipedia:High-risk templates, let us know if you have any questions about it.
  • Do you understand that in general, most changes to highly used templates should be proposed and tested first - as opposed to the standard WP:BRD process? (note: it is generally acceptable to promote tests to the primary page after a reasonable time so long as there is no objection).

  • I don't believe so.
  • No.
  • Already done.
  • Yes. GauchoDude (talk) 19:55, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
Leaning towards declining mainly for a lack of demonstrated need, but if someone else thinks that is not a concern I won't stand in their way. Primefac (talk) 09:14, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
  •  Done will grant for a 6-month trial. If there is actual constructive use without issues, please refer to this request near the end of your expiration. — xaosflux Talk 15:36, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
