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.

Reason: The protection is no longer needed because the content in the site has many errors

  • 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 09:42, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Comment The current bluelock doesn't seem enough per recent edits, recommend goldlock. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:42, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Not unprotected – Necessity of protection amply demonstrated. Favonian (talk) 13:39, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Reason: The protection is no longer needed as there clearly isn't any vandalism at the moment.

(2405:6E00:223A:8C3D:549A:2FF:FE75:A344 (talk) 14:21, 19 February 2025 (UTC))

Not unprotected – There's clearly no vandalism because the article is protected. The brief period around New Year, in which the article was unprotected, clearly demonstrated the need for protection. Favonian (talk) 16:21, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

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.


The statement 'In 1683, he invaded Portuguese Goa, during which Maratha soldiers raped Christian women and later sold captured men and women to Arabs and the Dutch' is not supported by the cited source. I have reviewed the reference, and it does not mention these claims. This statement is also present under the 'Portuguese and English' section. Who added this, and why? It appears that significant parts of this article have been negatively altered and seem to have been written by someone to portray a negative image. Please review and correct any biased or unsourced content. Arrowxw (talk) 03:00, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

@Arrowxw: Vague and sourceless requests will not be considered. (And we will not be citing Chhaava in either book or novel form; we do not cite works of fiction even if they are based on historical events.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 04:00, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
I am not citing anything. I just wanted to let you know that the above statement has no relevant references. Why has this information been added to the page? Arrowxw (talk) 04:06, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
@Arrowxw: And being an editor who pointedly avoids the Indian Subcontinent topic area, I cannot answer your question other than to say that this is not an edit request that can be acted on because it is too vague. If you want us to review and correct any biased or unsourced content you're more than welcome to identify where in the article other than the lead section the claim(s) you're objecting to are in. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 04:11, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
I am making an edit request to remove the following statements:
From the lead section: 'In 1683, he invaded Portuguese Goa, during which Maratha soldiers raped Christian women and later sold captured men and women to Arabs and the Dutch.'
From the 'Portuguese and English' section: 'According to an account by Padre Francisco de Souza, Marathas looted, destroyed churches, and raped Christian women... The breasts were cut off.'
These statements are not supported by the citations or references provided and are irrelevant to the article. Please consider removing them to maintain accuracy and neutrality." Arrowxw (talk) 04:25, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
@Arrowxw: (And for what it's worth, Maratha–Portuguese War (1683–1684) has this claim as well, with two separate sources for it.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 04:15, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
I have reviewed the sources, and it appears to be the same source. As I mentioned, these sources seem irrelevant to the statement. I have checked them and found no information that supports the claim. I believe this statement should be removed due to the lack of relevant sources. Arrowxw (talk) 04:33, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
@Arrowxw: You must have missed it then. I reviewed the source and found the passage which supports most of the claim. See Talk:Sambhaji#Fact added without citation. I did not see anything about the breast bit, but since the rest is supported I don't see any particular reason to trust your claim it isn't in the sources. Nil Einne (talk) 04:45, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
@Nil Einne: It's in the footnote on pg. 55 of the source cited there, and is an attributed direct quote even there. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 07:38, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
So, just to understand correctly—this article is based on Portuguese official records from the Goa Archives, where the Portuguese were hostile to Sambhaji Maharaj. Additionally, is it acceptable to include this information in the lead section? This approach seems unfair and biased. Arrowxw (talk) 09:30, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
What other specific published sources would you prefer us use? This isn't an insult, it's a genuine question given you've provided no other source to counter the bias you allege. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:09, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
I am following up on my request to remove the statements I mentioned earlier from the page, as the references used are based on Portuguese official records from the Goa Archives, which come from a historically adversarial source. This violates Wikipedia’s Neutral Point of View (NPOV) policy, as it does not present a balanced perspective.
Additionally, the statement has been deliberately placed in the lead section to portray a negative image, which is not a standard practice in similar articles. I request a review and removal of this biased content to ensure neutrality and consistency across Wikipedia. Arrowxw (talk) 15:50, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
@Arrowxw: I don't think you've read many other articles if you assume that to be the case. Lede sections contain negative information all the time if they're a significant part of the subject's life/history (as an example, Phil Spector). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:18, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

I would like to request that the page User:Jabiyan/sandbox be moved to Rumel Ahmed. The draft has been significantly improved and is ready for review. However, the page "Rumel Ahmed" is still locked due to old logs. I would appreciate guidance on how to move the page once it's finalized. . Jabiyan (talk) 11:58, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Submit it for review. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:04, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Requests for AutoWikiBrowser access

AutoWikiBrowser


I would like to use AWB for repetitive editing tasks. I do these a lot for the projects I am a part of, and they have become very tedious. Edit: one of the projects I am a part of for a Church, does not have very many active contributors but a very large backlog. The effort to maintain the articles we have would be largely simplified by using AWB.

Requests for confirmation

Confirmed

This is a (new) alt account of User:RedactedHumanoid, and has been created with the sole purpose to edit articles that I do not want to edit on my main account (NSFW articles, etc). Most of these articles are semi-protected, so I am requesting confirmed rights so I can edit those pages. RedactedHumanoid66 (talk) 23:05, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

@RedactedHumanoid: Could you please comment here from your main account as well? jlwoodwa (talk) 02:08, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
Sure. I can confirm that this is an alt account of mine, and that it's main purpose is what it stated. I honestly don't really know what else to say given that my alt already said what I think needs to be said. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 02:54, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

Arcticocean requested that, "If [I] wish to gain [ECR] again, the onus would be on [me] to prove that trust has been regained." To address this challenge, I would like to respond to the two concerns raised:

1. "You have added translated content from other Wikipedias without attribution."
2. "You have artificially split your article contributions into separate edits to more quickly reach a high edit count."


1. Translated content without attribution

In October 2024, I misunderstood the rules regarding proper attribution for translated content. Since January 2025, I believe I have consistently included proper attribution in all my edit summaries, as demonstrated in these examples: here, here or here.


2. Split article contributions

Regarding this concern, I would like to clarify that my first 350 edits, made between 2006 and 2013, occurred before the 500 edits rule was introduced (2016). These edits could not have been intended to meet a requirement that did not exist at the time.
I acknowledge that I intentionally split my contributions to reach the 500 edits threshold, only for the remaining 150 contributions needed to meet this target.
However, since then, I have made over 700 additional contributions (~1200 in total) without splitting them. This can be seen in my average edit size, which is approximately 350 bytes and aligns with averages observed among contributors, including administrators.

I hope this explanation demonstrates my commitment to addressing the concerns raised and regaining trust. Michael Boutboul (talk) 15:19, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights

I have authored a few articles, improved the quality of many articles including adding high quality references and improving encyclopedic quality. I have also limited experiences in deletion. I also have just been granted AFC reviewer options and starting to increase my participation in that. Welcome feedback if I can qualify. Thanks for the consideration Trex32 (talk) 00:19, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Trex32, Can you please explain how you came to possess the rights to File:Anand Reddi 2024.jpg? signed, Rosguill talk 00:07, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
HI Rosquill, In 2015, I took a picture of the subject among other panelists as a journalist blogger at conference in Brazil in 2015 on maternal and child health. I edited the photo and had permission from the subject and the other conference panelists and the conference organizers. Please forgive me if I uploaded the photo incorrectly with the incorrect attributions. I thought i did it correctly. I see I incorrectly labeled the photo as 2015 and not 2024. I will correct it. Thank you for the consideration. Grateful for the consideration. Trex32 (talk) 02:19, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Though I predominantly work with redirects, at least recently, I also engage with new pages and would like to help further in the new pages patrol in reviewing for quality and to help with the backlog. I have made almost 46,000 edits and believe that I can help. Iljhgtn (talk) 16:30, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in this permission. Unfortunately, your AfD history has a rather low match-rate, and includes several examples where other participants criticized your WP:BEFORE.  Not done signed, Rosguill talk 00:14, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
How can I check on my own AfD history? I know how to check my own edit history, but I do not know how to distinguish just the AfD history easily and clearly. Iljhgtn (talk) 23:09, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
I would like to review those examples that you are referring to as well please. Iljhgtn (talk) 23:10, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
Iljhgtn, that would be the AfD stats report. signed, Rosguill talk 23:19, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
According to that, 63.2% were "matches". What is considered a "good" "match-rate"? Iljhgtn (talk) 23:21, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
Because I reviewed WP:NPRCRITERIA and did not see any mention of this aspect there as part of the guideline for granting this permission. Iljhgtn (talk) 23:26, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
I don’t think I’ve conferred permissions for anyone with match rates below 70%, and I’d say most candidates are low-80s to 90s. The quality of the participation also matters beyond the pure numbers—I’d rather see a lower match rate paired with thoughtful participation than a 99% match rate where it’s pure pile-on votes signed, Rosguill talk 23:29, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
That makes sense, but I know my votes are of the former type rather than "pile-on votes". Iljhgtn (talk) 23:35, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Would it be acceptable then to do a trial? Iljhgtn (talk) 23:37, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
no, if I thought you were ready for a trial I would have conferred it already. signed, Rosguill talk 23:43, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
yeah, but you also aren't reliably doing due diligence in searching for sources, as evinced by the discussions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manufacturing Consent (Burawoy book), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Perilous Passage, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Lost Bible, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New York City Administrative Code. I think this addresses your question below as well. signed, Rosguill talk 23:41, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
Which examples involved criticism of my WP:BEFORE? I am familiar with the policy and do take precautions and engage in the proper "before" research and background prior to any nomination for deletion etc. Iljhgtn (talk) 23:34, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
Iljhgtn, I just wanted to mention that if you look at your name at the top of this request, you'll see links to all sorts of data like a CSD log if you have one and your AFD stats. It might be worth reviewing what's available. And with Twinkle, you can maintain logs of all of your deletion taggings. Liz Read! Talk! 02:10, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply @Liz. It would appear as if you were the closer on several of the AfDs that I was involved in. I think for those mentioned above at least @Rosguill, you will find that the involved editors were often only 2-3, and in several of those instances there was one comment, then the other 1-2 could be characterized as "pile-on" edits as you described them (which I take to mean that they added no further context and just agreed with a prior comment). Iljhgtn (talk) 02:28, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
Looking at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manufacturing Consent (Burawoy book) there were two "Keep" !votes and no further discussion, with the second of the two beyond a simple agreement with the first one.
Also, the examples you provided were discovered by me as some examples with no sources when I found them, in some cases after over a decade or more. I would perform more than a WP:BEFORE, and would often improve the article (such as adding a book cover in many cases, included Manufacturing Consent (Burawoy book) which previously was a mostly barren stub. I may have a "low match rate" percentage then as a result of coming into contact with numerous articles which had zero prior sources, though it is ironic perhaps that it is a result of the act of my nomination that suddenly galvanizes new interest and therefore brings into the fold other editors that performed an even deeper dive and then !voted on the respective stubs to be kept. I do not think that should reflect poorly though, or at least not disproportionally negatively on my candidacy as a new page reviewer.
At the end of the day, it is up to an admin to grant the permission of course, and if none see fit to do so then I will simply get on with other things. Iljhgtn (talk) 02:39, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

I would like to be a new page reviewer, I continuously contribute to New Pages and having failed the previous request to be one, i would like to try once again having positively learned more and contributed to much more new pages. Pizza on Pineapple (Let's eat🍕) 07:54, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) You made you first edit to Wikipedia just over a month ago and have made only 389 edits to mainspace. This still falls short of the the minimum criteria linked to above for this user right, and admins may call for additional experience.Tagging of pages for deletion is best left to qualified New Page Reviewers. We do need more reviewers so I would suggest you thoroughly read and understand the tutorial at WP:NPP, and then reapply in a couple of months when you have a measurable track record.

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

I'd like to request pending changes review rights because I am familiar with the policy and this would help me with my vandalism patrols. Furthermore, I am currently trying to accept a request, but I do not have the permissions. Thanks! Ali Beary (talk2me!) (stalk me?!) 13:29, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

@Ahecht, ah, apologies. I didn't realize a "request moves" page existed, and I do not have move or merge permissions. I was simply undoing something that wasn't correct... hence why I requested move perms earlier so I could fix it. Ali Beary (talk) 12:38, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
@Ahecht just curious, would you object to a grant here? If so this should be declined for now. Otherwise I'd consider granting since PCR is a pretty newbie-friendly permission. Elli (talk | contribs) 17:35, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

I have been an active contributor to Wikipedia and focused on editing articles, reviewing new pages & combating vandalism. I am requesting for PCR right to speeding up the review process for pending changes. I am familiar with key Wikipedia content policies, including vandalism, biographies of living persons (BLP), neutral point of view (NPOV), verifiability, and copyright compliance. I've also been involved in patrolling recent changes, where I use Twinkle tool to revert vandalism. With my experience and understanding of these policies, I believe that I can effectively contribute to reviewing pending changes. 𝐌P𝛂n 𓃠 {✝alk} 20:05, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting reviewer rights to help improve the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia articles, particularly in areas related to Pakistan and some notable international articles like television shows and international cricket.

Hi. I've recently come across several instances where rollbacking would be faster than manually reverting nonconstructive consecutive edits. I don't patrol Recent Changes, but I am quite active and have more than 3,100 pages on my Watchlist. Thanks for your consideration. PRRfan (talk) 04:11, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights: The main thing I do on Wikipedia is watch the recent changes page for changes that are not constructive. I would like these permissions so that instead of having to click the article > click view history > click undo, I would be able to just click one button. This would make what I mainly do MUCH easier, and would allow me to more quickly undo nonconstructive edits. MersmanD (talk) 16:00, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
