Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]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.
Unprotection: Per argument on the talk page. This was a target of one particular vandal, protected all the way back in 2009, and there's no reason to keep the page indefinitely semi'd because the user in question has been gone for a very long time. O.N.R. (talk) 01:19, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]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)
To add a section with the template {{edit protected}}: To add "Hong Kong since 27 July 2024" to the first paragraph of the article, based on the following sources: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. 119.237.212.104 (talk) 14:53, 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.
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/VisualEditor_save_dialog-en.png/500px-VisualEditor_save_dialog-en.png)
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.

Extended confirmed[edit]
So last night I made over 50-70 edits on the page Jim Cornette in order to hit 500 edits so I can edit more articles about politics because I was limited on what I could edit. Last night I didn't know I was breaking the rules, I found out when an administrator went on my talk page and said I lost extended confirmed status. He also told me I can't be trusted with extended confirmed status because those 50-70 edits weren't genuine. I think I can be trusted, I went over 2 months with making over 400 edits, and throughout those 2 months I haven't been blocked once and most my edits were productive, there were hardly any mistakes so I got hardly any warnings throughout the months. And when I hit 500 edits I edited the page about Hamas, my edits were constructive and I added valuable information and images to the page. I'm here to make pages better, if I get extended confirmed status again there won't be original research, edit warring, or vandalism, I've made hundreds of edits without doing that. So can I be trusted and get my extended confirmed thing back. I didn't know gaming extended confirmed isnt allowed. I had no idea, if I did I wouldn't have did it, I didnt know doing that was a problem, you might say I have to make a few hundread more constructive edits, Ive already made 420-430 of them in the past 2 months. And also it'll probably take a long time to get a few hundred more edits, I'm busy most of the day, I have a job and 3 kids to take care of. HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 01:23, 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).

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.

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
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 (ChatEdits 12:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
I watch recent changes often for vandalism and problematic edits, and understand the difference between the two when reverting them. I've also reviewed the guidelines on reviewing pending changes. I hope this right can help me more effectively perform anti-vandal work. ADifferentMan (talk) 07:34, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

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.

Requests for template editor |

Template editor[edit]
I have been contributing to Wikipedia for 14 years where I have made numerous edits to templates. When I've wanted to contribute to templates that were protected I have made edit requests which have been successful. I would love to be able to make these edits without the need to provide an edit request. I understand this would be a privilege which I would not abuse. As an editor I have never engaged in edit wars, vandalised any pages or been blocked (except for when I was contributing from a proxy IP which was not due to any actions by me). I believe I fulfil all bar one of the Standard Guidelines for a template editor, the only exception being number 5 as I have not contributed to a template sandbox. I am hoping that this does not affect my request and that my history on here and my willingness to help make my application successful. A current project I am working on: Several flag templates have been recently moved in line with the proper naming convention of templates, however these have not all been updated within other templates creating a template redirect; I would like to contribute by updating templates used on templates to avoid that redirect. Thank you. 6ii9 (talk) 10:37, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
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 [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14][15]. 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. – BrandonXLF (talk) 19:08, 28 July 2024 (UTC) |
I am at about 70,000 edits aross all Wiki projects.

"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.

Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers
[edit]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.
