Reason: IP removes formatting even after having it explained to them, multiple reverts from different IPs, requesting semi-protection. —Locke Cole • t • c 14:06, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 14:18, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Asking for autoconfirmed protection, but bumping up to indefinite since IP socks of User: Yishun NCS keep returning soon after protection has ended for the past three times this year.

Reason: What I assume to be a pair of users with rotating IPs have been engaged in a protracted edit war on this page since June, both users have also used personal attacks against each other and other editors [1] [2], I'd have taken this to ANI but I'm not sure anything can be done against rotating IPs DervotNum4 (talk) 20:29, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

[edit]

Reason: High level of IP vandalism. There are no moderators checking the lyrical content of songs listed (nor should there be); in effect, many songs added by IP addresses contained no mention of or relevance to Chicago. Audreyeve (talk) 20:32, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – I thought I was experiencing déjà vu for the last few nights on RCP seeing the same climate data being changed every night for days for this Norwegian city.

Reason: IP vandalism. Same thing that happened in the article two weeks ago. Those edits had been reverted due to the weaponization of selective commentary. Edits that are happening this time around are the same as the ones two weeks ago. EchoLuminary (talk) 02:02, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Shortcuts

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.

October 6 and days of June

[edit]

Reason: Semi-protected indefinitely over a year. Can they be downed to WP:PCPP? Also, one of the users who protected the pages does not seem to be an administrator anymore. Meanwhile, the other appears to have been notified about the matter about a month ago but no response had been taken.154.107.12.95 (talk) 00:45, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

Just because someone isn't an admin anymore doesn't mean they can't have an opionion. @Materialscientist: @MelanieN: What do you think? In many cases I see PCP as increasing the burden on regular editors to review and decline edits that normally would not appear with a normal protection level. ~Anachronist (talk) 08:01, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Currently at autoconfirmed protection - can it go up a level? Editor is continuing to add unsourced content ("orz, an adjective describing someone who is skilled at mathematical olympiads"). Tacyarg (talk) 20:44, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

  • @Tacyarg: First, this is the page for requesting a decrease in protection, not an increase. Second, disruption from a single editor is better handled with a block (possibly a partial one) than with page protection. jlwoodwa (talk) 22:29, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

[edit]
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
Shortcut

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.

Per the discussion at Overriding spoof checks. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 00:27, 31 July 2025 (UTC) - FlightTime (open channel) 00:27, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

 Not done for now. That linked discussion seems to indicate that this isn't something that'd get you past the current hurdle you're facing. There's an indication that you'd need override-antispoof on Meta instead of enwiki, so the avenues there would be to request override-antispoof be added to a local group on Meta, or apply for one of the existing groups on Meta which has override-antispoof (admin or bureaucrat). If that discussion ends with consensus that getting account creator on enwiki would help then I'm not fully opposed to it, but my current reading of the consensus is that it wouldn't help. stwalkerster (talk) 01:18, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
No, @Stwalkerster: I do not work meta requests at all, I may have a couple edits years ago at meta, I only work renames here at en. - FlightTime (open channel) 03:31, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
The discussion on metawiki suggests that override spoof has nothing to do with the issue you ran in to. If there is something we missed there, please re-open the discussion and provide more details so we can open a bug track if needed. — xaosflux Talk 13:38, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

User:Yoblyblob

[edit]

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 ([3]). — 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)

User:PickleG13

[edit]

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)
FWIW, I don't think the redirect incident should be held against Pickle. It was an honest BOLD move that they weren't thinking of as article creation. If those lists actually had information in them about the cases, the redirects wouldn't have even been a negative. And I have made similar redirects before after determining the case was not Notable and adding holding information to the list. My view (obviously, given my longstanding project of making articles for SCOTUS cases) is that we should prefer to have articles, but Pickle's redirect idea did not come from a bad place. Plus, their responses to criticism about this incident were always good, even when I just left a message complaining about it on their talk page. lethargilistic (talk) 18:41, 31 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, my ittention for contributing to Wikipedia, i have mention to my talk page, also to be noted i am reviewer and patroller at Albanian wiki with all articles, neither deleted, and noone of edits are reverted. 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.

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)

Slightly below the recommended 25 creations before nomination, but this editor has a track record of writing quality content that I don't believe NPP needs to continue reviewing. No issues found spot-checking their recent creations. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:26, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

I have created more than 25 non redirect articles within the past few weeks and 53 non redirects overall.

[edit]

Hello,

I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I have created around 30 well-sourced, policy-compliant articles on the English Wikipedia.

In addition to my contributions here, I am an administrator (sysop) on the Persian Wikipedia (fa.wikipedia), where I have been active for many years, focusing on content creation, vandalism control, and community support.

Granting this right would help reduce the workload of new page patrollers, as my article creations usually meet Wikipedia’s quality standards.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Best regards, Shahnamk (talk) 19:08, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

[edit]

Hello,

I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I’ve created several articles, many of which are currently live and meet Wikipedia’s guidelines on notability and reliable sourcing.

I’m familiar with the key content policies such as WP:N, WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:NPOV, and consistently apply them when creating or editing articles.

I understand that this permission is intended to reduce the workload of new page reviewers by marking trusted users’ pages as reviewed automatically, and I believe my contributions demonstrate the consistency and policy alignment expected for this role.

I have not received any blocks or serious warnings, and I’m committed to continuing constructive, policy-compliant editing.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Sweetabena (talk) 23:39, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Sweetabena: I’ve gone through some of the articles you’ve created, including Daniel Dung Mahama, Simon Akibange Aworigo, Anabah Thomas Winsum, and Nikyema Billa Alamzy. I noticed that these pages have been tagged for AI-generated content (WP:LLM). Could you please clarify this? Additionally, the article on Bright Owusu has a notability issue. Have you made any efforts to address or fix that? I also noticed that most of your articles are about politicians or MPs, which is generally a relatively easier area for a New Page Patroller. Regards! Baqi:) (talk) 12:15, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Jannatulbaqi,
Thanks for your response and for reviewing my request.
I've now gone through the articles you mentioned; Daniel Dung Mahama, Simon Akibange Aworigo, Anabah Thomas Winsum, and Nikyema Billa Alamzy and made revisions to ensure they fully reflect a human-authored tone, improve clarity, and adhere to Wikipedia’s content policies. I manually wrote these articles based on reliable sources, and I’ve taken extra care to revise any sections that might have appeared too generic or AI-like in style.
Regarding Bright Owusu, I realized that the subject is better known publicly as “C-Confion,” which is the name used in most reliable sources. I initially created a redirect page under that name, and since C-Confion better reflects WP:COMMONNAME, I’ve submitted a technical move request at WP:RM/TR to move the article accordingly.
While many of my articles are in the political space, I’ve focused on that area because it's typically easier to demonstrate notability. That said, I’m open to expanding into other areas and continuing to improve the range and quality of my contributions.
I appreciate your time and consideration, and I remain committed to constructive, policy-compliant editing. Thank you so much.Sweetabena (talk) 21:05, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

I have been an active contributor to Wikipedia for over two years, and I truly feel that it is one of my greatest passions in life. I have made more than 4,000 edits and am credited with creating over 100 articles, excluding redirects and disambiguation pages. Additionally, I have expanded and improved numerous stub articles, enhancing their content and quality. I have also translated several articles into local languages, making Wikipedia more accessible to a broader audience. By becoming autopatrolled, I believe I can not only continue contributing effectively to the Wikipedia community based on my vast knowledge of WP:N, WP:V, and reliable sourcing but also help ease the burden on administrators in assessing quality content. That's why I'm requesting this permission. I'm happy to answer any questions or improve any articles I've created if there's anything noticeable that needs attention.

I am requesting for this permission to help address the backlog of unreviewed pages and to ensure the quality of new content submitted uses encyclopedic language and that the content is accurate and neutral. I have participated in hundreds of AfDs and during that time I have developed a solid understanding of WP:GNG, RS requirements (WP:SIGCOV), and other relevant policies for reviewing pages. Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 21:23, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions and your interest in this permission. Reviewing your recent contributions, however, I'm concerned that War on Crypto and the attendant page move discussion demonstrates a weak understanding of WP:TITLE. I'm also doubtful of some other editorial decisions, such as having an entire section on "Views on Bitcoin" in Lyn Alden.  Not done signed, Rosguill talk 19:43, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
Hello, isn't this decision usually determined by a more objective set of criteria than only the subject matter content of the edits? This seems subjective to me and is based on the topics I am interested in and good faith disagreements between me and other parties made on that matter rather than being made strictly on policy. Given my AfD history, I clearly understand what makes a notable, reliable page and what does not.
Would it be possible for another admin to look at my AfD history among other factors to consider if I am eligible for this perm? Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 12:18, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
I think that War on Crypto is a pretty clear-cut misapplication of WP:TITLE. By contrast, War on crypto would have been defensible in my evaluation, but that's not the title you chose. signed, Rosguill talk 18:04, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
No issue with this improvement. The page move has already been completed to now be titled "War on crypto" Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 16:18, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
I've undone this move, as the ongoing RM should be allowed to unfold and followed. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 16:26, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

@Rosguill: Sure, I ran it through earwigs with no red flags, I saw some articles like this this and this on him (the fake sources were concerning at the time but I thought it was unlikely to be deleted with the real ones present and other sources out there I found), prose wasn't egregious so I reviewed it. I personally disagreed with the draftification reason by CycloneYoris saying it was machine generated as I see an awful lot of AI slop at AfC and this didn't raise any of those red flags for me. Looking back I should have given more alarm to the number of fake sources and could have draftified based on that, but this was my review process at the time. Sophisticatedevening(talk) 19:54, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

I've been spending quite a bit of time recently at Special:NewPagesFeed sometimes making small improvements where I think it could be useful. I've noticed the enoromous backlog there, so what I'm currently doing in any case, could also help with the backlog if I have the new page reviewer role. There's a discussion near the end of my talk page about me possibly doing this. I'm still a bit cautious about it but willing to give it a go. Northernhenge (talk) 21:15, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Northernhenge, reviewing your recent article creations, could you comment on your thinking regarding the case for the notability of Jenny Ryan (actress)? Additionally, for Local Nature Recovery Strategy, could you identify which of the cited sources can be considered independent of the subject? signed, Rosguill talk 15:41, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
@Rosguill, I created Jenny Ryan (actress) as a redirect to Woolly and Tig#Cast, to overcome confusion with Jenny Ryan the English quizzer, singer and television personality. Someone recently changed that to an article so I’ve been contributing, hopefully to improve it, but the only independent ref I can find is the Scotsman newspaper interview, so notability is certainly questionable.
For Local Nature Recovery Strategy, the BBC News source is independent. As it's an "official" initiative, most current references are to where the individual schemes are hosted. They're using DEFRA guidelines, so the DEFRA reference is more of a definition than an independent source. As most of them are still at the consultation stage, there isn't much public discussion of them at present. The bigger picture for me is that I've been looking at articles about Site of Special Scientific Interest locations, and – for some now, and for most/all in the future – they will need to mention their local LNRS. I created it after I'd created Skiddaw Group SSSI. I needed to include the LNRS but any amount of detail about the LNRS scheme would end up being repeated across numerous other SSSI articles. Yes, it does need more independent sources, and I’m assuming that more will become available as the scheme continues to roll out. --Northernhenge (talk) 16:25, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for the prompt answers, I'm satisfied with the explanations and think that given your AfD track record and long tenure, I can confer the full permissions at this time  Done signed, Rosguill talk 17:40, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

As an experienced Wikipedia editor with over 4,000 edits and more than 2 years of active participation, I've developed a strong foundation in the platform's policies and guidelines. I'm now seeking permission to take on a more significant role in maintaining the quality of Wikipedia's content. To achieve this, I aim to utilize my understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, particularly WP:GNG (General Notability Guideline) and WP:SIGCOV (Significant Coverage), which I've developed through my participation in Articles for Deletion (AfD) discussions. My goal is to review pages and ensure that the content is written in an encyclopedic tone, accurate, neutral, and supported by reliable sources. By granting me permission, I believe I can make a meaningful contribution to maintaining the integrity and quality of Wikipedia's content. Royalesignature (talk). 03:41, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Your article creation statistics appear promising, and you may be granted the right on a trial basis. However, your request reads as somewhat ambiguous. I also observed that your AfD participation is quite limited, and there are no CSD or PROD entries in your logs, this might be due to not using Twinkle, which typically helps track such activities. Chippla ✍️ - Best Regards 09:31, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
Many thanks for your acknowledgement of my article creation statistics. Regarding the ambiguity, kindly let me know which part needs clarification, please. Royalesignature (talk). 10:04, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions and your interest in this permission. In reviewing your recent articles and AfD participation, I don't think you're quite ready yet for a trial run. Ikirun College of Health Technology has some obvious WP:MOS issues; while in a certain sense they're trivial, it's concerning that you did not notice them before applying here. Meanwhile, as Chippla alludes to, you make a big deal about AfD discussions and how you've developed your understanding of guidelines there, but reviewing the track record of your participation at AfD doesn't demonstrate this: you've participated in 3 discussions, only one of them this year, and in all of them you made a delete !vote piling on after multiple other editors had already laid out the case for deletion. There's not necessarily anything wrong with these !votes, but they don't demonstrate that you have a strong understanding of the relevant guidelines yourself, and it seems odd to assert that you've developed your understanding through these discussions when you've participated in so few and there's no real evidence of learning or improvement in or across these discussions.  Not done signed, Rosguill talk 15:57, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi again, My NPP flag lapsed last month, and I'd like to request an extension. During the trial I patrolled dozens of new pages, tagging some for CSD and sending others to AfD when sourcing or notability was thin.

Technically, if you would normally have bold moved a page (uncontroversial, do not expect opposition) but couldn't for technical reasons, WP:RM/TR would be the better way to do it since it avoids the 7 day listing period of a full RM.

In my election discussion there were no concerns raised about my professionalism, content creation or reviewing competency, which are the primary things needed with processing DYK queues.
