Question: @331dot: Does it not warrant a block per WP:IMPERSONATE if the Joyce Borenstein article is a BLP about a notable person? Unless there is off-wiki communication that has verified their identity? --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:07, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
If someone else thinks differently that's fine with me, but my thinking is that the name is so detailed that, unless there is other evidence that it might be someone else operating the account, that a block is not necessary for the name(that leaves aside the COI issues). 331dot (talk) 14:19, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
I agree with 331dot. This is a COI issue, not a username issue. Cullen328 (talk) 17:46, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
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.

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because ....... . Az1625 (talk) 16:55, 16 August 2024 (UTC) The truth is being suppressed and this page is not accurate.

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

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.

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

[edit]

For a third time, I'm applying for autopatrolled rights; my first request was denied in April 2023, and my second request was denied in June 2024. The reason for the first decline was that my previous articles were tagged for "notability." After that decline, I worked on bringing articles over from the Russian Wikipedia and had relatively few problems when other editors were reviewing them (I don't bring over everything from those respective pages, so I added a tag for expanding from Russian to let others know that information is still there). The reason for the second decline was that I moved one of my BLP articles back into the mainspace without changing the sourcing, and it was eventually deleted (that was a mistake on my part). Now, roughly two months later, I have had little to no problems with the other articles I have brought over. I respectfully request that I be granted the autopatrolled permission this time around, as I believe it will help lighten the NPP workload to some extent. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([2]). MusikBot talk 20:20, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Reviewer Aszx5000 has messaged me twice that I should be autopatrolled. I don't care for my sake, since the process works fine for me, but I don't want to be a burden on the reviewers. Please either grant or deny this status based on whatever you think is best for the community. Thanks! Jordanroderick (talk) 23:38, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Would like to cut down on the backlog of pages that need to be reviewed while I create pages, especially as of recent where I've been working on creating pages for military battles, and Bahmani rulers. I definitely believe the pages I've created shows I am familiar with the guidelines of page notability, and especially quality. I've practiced with this being a new page patroller myself. Noorullah (talk) 00:36, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

I am currently engaged in editing biographies of recently elected United Kingdom MPs. Much of this involves adding relevant templates and categories, which I hope to streamline with the help of AWB.

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

[edit]

Hello there, I am interested tn helping out in new page reviewing as there are very large articles backlog and love to do so. Xegma(talk) 07:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

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? — 48JCL 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)
Could anyone please review my request ? It is already couple of days. Xegma(talk) 18:10, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request new page reviewer rights to help review newly-created articles and lower the backlog. I have accepted lots of drafts at AFC and participated in many AfDs with deep discussions to exhibit my knowledge of notability, as I was advised previously. Thanks! Waqar💬 19:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

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.

I was given a trial for a few months and would like to renew my permissions. I have made good use of my permissions by fixing new pages and judiciously applying CSD whenever necessary. I am still active at NPP and will continue to make good use of my permissions upon renewal. Florificapis (talk) 22:45, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to help out with the backlog at NPP. My previous experience includes many nominations of drafts under G1, G2, and G3, and a couple instances of article ratings and XfD participation. Rusty 🐈 03:48, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

I would like to become a new page patrol to accelerate the page creation process, improve the quality of Wikipedia pages, and reduce the huge current backlog. I have a good understanding of what a qualified article would look like, and created around four articles like Organothallium Chemistry. I have also done various other editing, including merging Carbohydrate Chemistry into Carbohydrate. Pygos (talk) 06:35, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Two months ago I was given the new page reviewer right, and I want to continue with it. I trust I have made good contributions. Thanks in advance. Tajotep (talk) 10:17, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) This user's NPP rights expired on the 5th of August. Rusty 🐈 22:36, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

I believe I would be able to help reduce the catalogue of pages needing review. I would review them properly with an unbiased view point. Camillz (talk) 13:04, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: you do not meet the minimum requirements for this permission and would benefit from getting experience with the deletion process first. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 02:52, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

I have created 85 pages including a GA. I am familiar with the p&g on notability and reliable sources. Would like to put my knowledge to use by reviewing pages and help out WikiProject Korea a bit more. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 05:05, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

My last request was denied due to vague votes in AfD. Since then, I have taken my time to learn more and not just rushed to re-request the rights. Then I had created 50 articles when the request was denied. Currently, I have over 714 articles with only 5 deleted. This shows that I have understanding of what GNG and what SIGCOV is. It will be a pleasure in helping reduce the backlog of new created pages. Tumbuka Arch (talk) 09:44, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights 79lives (talk) 15:48, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I am 79lives and I am willing to remove issues within the numerous articles sent in! I am able to search throughout articles on whether they have used citations or not and will align suitably to Wikipedia notability guidelines as well! Not only that but I am quite active on Wikipedia, so I will be able to try alleviate some of the backlog for the group here.

 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only 317 mainspace edits, you don't meet the minimum requirements for granting. Please come back when you have the experience required for administrators to review your edits. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:59, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
Per Template:Joe Roe's post on WikiProject Linguistics, I would be willing to help out reviewing new linguistics articles. Botterweg14 (talk) 22:14, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit]


Reason for requesting page mover rights: I want to have my page mover rights extended, as I contribute to RM/TR. Was given 3mo trial and it will end on August 20. ToadetteEdit! 08:30, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi again, Toadette. You were great during the 2024 CrowdStrike-related article title saga! I hope you become a Page Mover at the same time as me! Jruderman (talk) 06:48, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
Given User talk:ToadetteEdit#Move review for Donald Trump fist pump photographs just today, as well as a past history of similar closes of deletion discussions at DRV, I am not convinced this should be granted. * Pppery * it has begun... 06:09, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
At the least, asking Toadette here what might or should have been done differently seems appropriate. Dekimasuよ! 06:38, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
I'm also concerned about User_talk:ToadetteEdit#RM_at_Talk:Ted_Wilson_(figure_skater), which is, at best, a communication failure (A good closer will transparently explain how the decision was reachedWP:NHC), and at worst a headcount to determine consensus (WP:NOTDEMOCRACY). DatGuyTalkContribs 13:30, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
I'm an active AfC reviewer, and I spend a lot of time patrolling new pages. I often draftify articles that are not sourced or need additional sources (over 250 articles so far). Having this right would be super useful and help reduce the number of R2 tags for admins in the backlog. I also have experience in WP:RM, and I'd like to request page mover rights for non-controversial tasks. Thank you, Waqar💬 16:39, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

I have been monitoring recent changes on pages for a while now AlexBobCharles (talk) 08:36, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

I’ve been editing for a little while now, I’ve requested page protection and reverted edits which are not appropriate on various pages. I am pretty devoted to editing on Wikipedia and I have an extensive Watchlist so I think this permission would be useful. Adriazeri (talk) 22:55, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

I've been monitoring the pages in Wikipedia for a long time. I try my best to review new changes, revert any vandalism and provide authenticity. This permission will help me review the pages more fluently. MSouvik01 (talk) 21:14, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Did all the requirements and patrolled the recent changes page for a rotating number of days. My account also meets all the requirements. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 09:38, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

I have been patrolling recent changes and combating vandalism for a little over a month. I've been primarily using Twinkle and I would like to request rollback privileges to use other tools such as Huggle. I understand the importance of leaving users a notice whenever their edits are reverted. Jiffles1 (talk) 22:30, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). 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 09:25, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi there! Thanks for responding. I believe I left warning messages for the three reverts you cited (here, here, and here). In all three cases, I used Twinkle to generate the messages because, as you noted, the tool makes the process extremely easy. Admittedly, I was bit inconsistent in leaving warnings when I first started combating vandalism, but I have been quite diligent about it over the past couple of weeks. If I’m missing something or doing something wrong, please let me know and I’ll correct it going forward. Jiffles1 (talk) 11:17, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

I had this as admin, I would still find it useful. Naomi Amethyst 03:11, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

    "Do you want to take a survey?"

    [edit]

    On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.

    On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.

    Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.

    Up to Dec 16, 2003, all the edits at these anonymous id's were mine (59 edits):

    More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.
