Current requests for increase in protection level[edit]
Cris mj[edit]
Reason: Hello, I want the article Cris mj to have Wikipedia office protection so that it is not edited by false information editions Saaaaaaam7 (talk) 21:27, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- That's not how this works. First, the protection level you speak of is only able to be added by a member of the WMF. Second, the article doesn't exist. Third, WP:OWN, you can't control who does and doesn't edit the article. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 21:35, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
Declined —ScottyWong— 00:22, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
Simon Ekpa[edit]
Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Odinaka1 (talk) 22:16, 8 February 2023 (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 22:17, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
Declined. This article needs help, but semi-protection wouldn't help it. The problem is nationalistic/POV editing by multiple auto-confirmed editors, who change the article to their version of the truth about this person. You, Odinaka1, are part of the problem; your additions are unsourced and non-neutral. But so are other people's additions. I wonder if there is someone at Wikipedia who is informed enough about this part of the world to sort it out? Anyone? MelanieN (talk) 00:45, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero[edit]
Reason: Persistent disruptive editing in the last days. It is not just about the sourcing/content dispute issue which was why my request was previously rejected, but please, just see the recent IPs edits in the article. Xexerss (talk) 00:17, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Only post below if you receive no (favourable) 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 rolling archive if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
QWERTY (song)[edit]
Reason: This redirect was protected in 2008 and needs updating. Lack of disruption on similar redirects indicates protection is no longer necessary. Peter James (talk) 20:06, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Are you sure that protection isn't the reason for the lack of disruption? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 05:45, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Peter James: How do you plan to update this redirect? —ScottyWong— 16:25, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
Herobrine[edit]
Reason: Downgrade from full protection to indefinite extended confirmed protection. Look, I get this always will be an obvious vandalism target (I assume you know why) but I think we can take it down a notch (no pun intended). Thiscouldbeauser (talk) 09:10, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Is there any legitimate, foreseeable reason for the protection on this redirect to be downgraded? "Because it's been protected for so long" isn't as convincing an argument on a redirect. —Jéské Couriano (No further replies will be forthcoming.) 16:32, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Is there any extended confirmed disruptive editing in the page history? I don't see any but perhaps I'm missing something. I believe best practice is to use the minimum amount of protection needed. –Novem Linguae (talk) 18:19, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Pinging Ohnoitsjamie as the protecting administrator. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 01:18, 8 February 2023 (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
{{request edit}}
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.
Handled requests[edit]

Autopatrolled[edit]User:Qwerty284651[edit]
I will be creating several tennis draw pages in the upcoming weeks and would like to acquire the autopatrolled user right, so there'll be no need for a page reviewer reviewing the newly created pages as they will be marked as "patrolled" by default. Qwerty284651 (talk) 03:24, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
User:LordVoldemort728[edit]
I have created more than 350 pages. Many of them are created through WP:AfC. I can understand WP:GNG. I know many articles which are created by me are stubs but they all are notable. I requested for this permission on 9 November 2022 but User:TheSandDoctor denied my request and said me for "focusing on quality over quantity" and also said "Feel free to apply again in future (perhaps 3-6 months? Just a suggested time frame, not binding.) when you have addressed concerns and improved practices.". Today I have improved that type of mistakes. Now days I publish articles through WP:AfC and I have also enhanced it's quality. 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙♂️Let's Talk ! 17:57, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

New page reviewer[edit]User:LordVoldemort728[edit]
I am a Participant for WikiProject Articles for creation and I want to get this permission for reviewing accepted articles from AfC and also for patrolling newly created articles. My account meets all criteria for becoming New Page Reviewer.
I requested for this permission on 28 December 2022 but User:Rosguill declined it some AfC submissions declined and wrote "Thank you for your extensive contributions to Wikipedia thus far. However, I'm concerned that multiple different editors have all reached out to you to caution you about rushing through edits in the past two months, and that you have had some AfC article submissions declined during this time period. Not done for now" 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙♂️Let's Talk ! 17:45, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
User:Ppt91[edit]
I have been actively contributing to Wikipedia for over two years now and have over 2,000 edits, the vast majority of which are in main space. I have extensive experience in the use of proper citations and secondary reliable sources as well as Wikipedia's notability guidelines, very good working knowledge of page assessment levels (evident in my edit history that includes one GA in addition to multiple B-class, C-class, and start-class), and am familiar with policies concerning new page creation (I've created at least seven main space articles) and page moving proces. Moreover, I am always civil and courteous when engaging with other users and routinely offer my help to new editors. The only area where my experience isn't as extensive is with AfD, PROD, CSD, and AfC, although I believe that my familiarity with the process is sufficient for new page reviewer. Thank you very much for considering my request. Ppt91 (talk) 02:11, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
User:Eejit43[edit]
Hello! I'm requested the new page reviewer right to help sort through the immense backlog, especially redirects- of which there are currently about 7,300! While I don't usually focus on writing articles, I'm an AfC reviewer, and am very familiar with naming conventions, BLP policies, copyright policies, etc. I also frequently tag various issues on articles, nominate articles for deletion, and draftify articles. I meet all the NPP reviewer requirements, and, if granted, would use this tool responsibly. Thanks!
User:AdmiralAckbar1977[edit]
I was hoping to expand my scope of contributions to Wikipedia. I've been generally pleased with my personal experience with the new page review process, and after looking over the new page log, I thought I could do something to help the process.

Pending changes reviewer[edit]User:PritongKandule[edit]
I have been editing Wikipedia on and off since 2008, with over 2,700 edits as of writing. My contributions log should demonstrate extensive experience in patrolling the Recent Changes log especially in spotting and reverting vandalism (including subtle/unobvious ones), BLP violations, unsourced controversial content, spam, and other inappropriate content. I would like to request permission to review pending changes as I encounter them quite often in the log. I have also familiarized myself with all the requisite policies on content, reviewing, and on copyright. Thanks! PritongKandule-✉️📝 13:50, 6 February 2023 (UTC) |

Rollback[edit]User:Bharel[edit]
Signed up for the CVU 😊. Former Administrator and Interface Administrator (elected, finished my 3 years term in good standing) at the Hebrew Wikipedia, over 16k edits and are a current patroller there. Fell in love with RedWarn so I'm here for a ride. Bar Harel (talk) 16:50, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
User:ThethPunjabi[edit]
I often encounter vandalism or uncited edits on articles related to Sikhism and Punjab. Having the rollback function will save me a lot of time when reverting such edits from problematic users. ThethPunjabi (talk) 05:26, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
User:Riverbend21[edit]
I spend a decent amount of my time on Wikipedia, patrolling "Recent changes", reverting vandalism, and the like, using RedWarn for the most part; I request the "Rollback" right for the sake of convenience. Thank you. Riverbend21 (talk) 12:49, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
User:Alalch E.[edit]
I use Ultraviolet and Twinkle, but I had also done RCP for a while without any gadgets. I read somewhere in UV's instructions that using it with rollback makes it execute faster; subjectively, it does feel a little slow currently. I send appropriate notices and warnings to users, and have endeavored to add a summary to my pseudo-rollbacks when it's technically possible. I have this user right on a different language version so I'm also familiar with how it works without any gadgets. —Alalch E. 18:05, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
User:MathXplore[edit]
I would like to have the rollbacker rights at here so I can help the project countering vandalism. I already have the same rights in other projects so I'm sure that I know how and how not to use it. A summary of my reverts at other projects can be found at my user page. MathXplore (talk) 13:43, 8 February 2023 (UTC) User:DVRTed[edit]

"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.
Wikiprojects I am a member of:[edit]
