HJ Mitchell My removal was for COI due to the username, which needs to be changed. - FlightTime (open channel) 17:54, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
@FlightTime then maybe talk to them about that? The edits aren't vandalism and they're not promoting anything by that name so you won't get a block here or at UAA. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:57, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 17:58, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Last edit was over three months ago; and while I wouldn't argue this doesn't come under ARBPIA I similarly wouldn't argue this is a primary topic within it (as while it was the first international Zionist program, as the article notes it was replaced in the early 1950s with the Jerusalem Program), nor does it appear to have any nexus with the current conflict. Daniel Case (talk) 19:36, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: User request within own user space. Per BusterD's comment in Special:Diff/1285477831, it was protected because of WP:DE, but there appears to be no good reason for non-extended-confirmed users to edit my user page. That user also said I can request any administrator to change the protection level if I choose to do so. Z. Patterson (talk) 01:54, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Just linking to WP:UPROT here...I for one do not see the need for protection at the moment. Lectonar (talk) 11:17, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Declined per above. The absence of a reason for non-EC editors to edit a user page does not, to me, by itself constitute a reason to so protect that page. We seem to have established a high bar for that level of protection to a user page; I would consider it only in cases of demonstrated long-term abuse by AC accounts. This is not being argued here. Daniel Case (talk) 19:33, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Adolescent IP editors from a similar location vandalizing on the same article issues. Zefr (talk) 19:03, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 years, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:01, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: I am requesting 6 months of ECP for Talk:COVID-19 lab leak theory, and for Talk:Origin of SARS-CoV-2. All COVID topics are already considered contentious topics (WP:CT/COVID), and both of these article main pages are already protected by ECP.

The talk pages, however, have suffered under a truly withering barrage of endless requests that we depart from the standard of scientific consensus, and treat the concept of a laboratory leak as highly plausible. In the last two weeks alone, 11,000 words have been written at Talk:Origin of SARS-CoV-2 (33 single-spaced pages in word), with IP addresses and SPAs all asking editors to change the article.

The pattern of discussion in each new talk page topic is the same: an editor with relatively few edits proposes a change to the article emphasizing a potential laboratory leak [2], discussion quickly descends into accusations and fruitless argument [3], and thousands of words are written before the discussion is closed [4]. Then, hours later, another and similarly pointless topic is opened with the same agenda [5].

Editors are complaining of burnout, and you can see why. ECP on the talk pages would not impede article improvement, but would significantly reduce the strain and stress on editors working in this publicly contentious area. -Darouet (talk) 19:20, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

P.S. I'm not sure if this is the right location to post but Tryptofish suggested that any competent administrator can decide to apply ECP to these talk pages given that COVID is already deemed contentious (WP:CT/COVID). Tryptofish your input also welcome. -Darouet (talk) 19:22, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
I actually said uninvolved, rather than competent, and I'm sure y'all are competent. Anyway, my advice came out of the discussion at User talk:Bon courage#These covid pages are exhausting, where it sure sounds to me like those talk pages are, indeed, needlessly exhausting. This is a matter of CTOP, and I hope no one minds that the request ended up here rather than at WP:AE, but it does very much seem to me that it would be a good idea for an admin, acting under CTOP authority, to grant this request. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:46, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
I'm not sure if protection is the answer as much as not feeding the trolls. The regular editors are under no obligation to answer or engage in these discussions to the extent they seem to be doing. I would also suggest following the lead of many other talk pages of contentious articles and putting a FAQ up top basically saying, we are not discussing this issue here anymore without some change in the facts underlying consensus. Because I think protection here goes beyond the scope of what CTOPS authorizes, and when we have applied ECP to other talk pages (something we do not do lightly).
Now, if ArbCom itself were to specifically authorize this here, that would be different. Daniel Case (talk) 20:59, 15 April 2025 (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 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.

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.

Autopatrolled

[edit]

New page reviewer who has made over 90 articles including 1 good article and quite familiar with content guidelines, I may also as well not clutter the backlog for other reviewers. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 06:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

One thing that immediately jumped out at me is some biographical articles created (e.g. Kim Na and Son Se-bin) have unsourced biographical information, such as the date of birth. This information should be sourced to ensure compliance with WP:DOB. - Aoidh (talk) 03:07, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
I've considered adding references directly next to DOB, which I did at my two most recent BLPs: Mike Kim and Lee Joon-ho. If birth information is not 100% verifiable, I play it safe (eg. Lee Seung-yoon). Per WP:DOB, links to websites maintained by the subject are generally permitted so I included Kim Na's personal website which states birth year as 1986 in the external links section. I created Son Se-bin over 5 years ago when I was much less experienced, so I don't quite recall which exact source I used for DOB (birth year seems to have been present in Star Today), so I've just amended that. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 04:22, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Ah I've misinterpreted that personal website policy, though it does fall under WP:ABOUTSELF, I've now also directly sourced it. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 04:39, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

I had created around 50+ articles on the English wikipedia, I handle and edit topics mostly on colonial architectures, there are many articles needed to be created on that feild so I would like to request Autopatrolled rights for my account and also to help page reviewers for decreasing workload.

(Non-administrator comment) Took a gander at the most recently created articles. On BQM-106 Teleplane, three of four sources are WP:USERGENERATED ([7]), self-published ([8]), or unreliable per RSN. All three sources on LIM-99 are unreliable for the same reasons. Kasmanda Palace relies entirely on primary sources, travel blogs and SPS, plus has a problem with WP:CLOP: [9]. Same sourcing problems with Kellogg Memorial Church. I think your work will continue to benefit from being patrolled. Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:58, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I would like to request pending changes reviewer rights on English Wikipedia to tackle with the edits protected with pending changes while patrolling in the RC, since I have rollback rights. I think I fulfill the criteria to get this right. Also, I understand the related policies to manage these edits. This would give me a better chance to work to improve Wikipedia.

Thanks for considering my request. VortexPhantom🔥 (talk) 08:29, 13 April 2025 (UTC)


Rollback

[edit]

I'd like to try some other counter-vandalism tools, such as AntiVandal, Huggle, and SWViewer, which require the rollback right to use. I've actively been patrolling recent changes for roughly 3-4 months and have consistently warned editors when reverting them. Tenshi! (Talk page) 17:18, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Greetings, I am requesting for the rollback rights to assist my passion in fighting against vandalism and roll off disruptive edits on Wikipedia, I actively scroll on recent changes feed and also new page feeds, I am familiar with WP:VANDALISM, I wish to use the AntiVandal tool which will help me revert more edits that goes against Wikipedia policies, I will love to help the community, Thanks to any admin willing at his or her discretion to grant me this permission. Best Regards (CP) 22:07, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

 Not done. You've been inconsistently warning editors (or otherwise not explaining the reason) when reverting them. I'm also concerned about this edit, since being a new editor is never a reason to revert them, especially when the COI tag alluded to was recently added by a block-evading sockpuppet who had already been blocked when that revert was made, who had a problematic history of accusing others of having a COI even before the sockpuppetry block. Alluding that this new editor had a conflict of interest was inappropriate, as was reverting them on that basis. - Aoidh (talk) 01:45, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for the notice @Aoidh, tho I wasn’t comfortable with the edit from the new user but still I have reverted many misleading edits in good faith, and Atimes I use the vandalism botton to revert which doesn’t give me an option to explain reasons, but most of my revert I give reasons, you can check it there. Also see this Warning, Atimes I will warn on user talk or the IP talk, please I will love to have a trial of this permission so I can use the "AntiVandalism" tool. Chippla ✍️ - Best Regards 23:06, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
You're responsible for your edits, which includes using edit summaries and explanations when needed. If tools you're using (including Rollback) or a script prevents you from using an edit summary when one would be needed, then that tool or script should not be used to make that edit. A track record of doing this should be shown before reapplying, since using rollback and failing to provide an explanation when needed is cause for removal of that tool, as Wikipedia:Rollback notes. As mentioned in the criteria at the top of WP:PERM/R, there should also be [a] track record of consistently notifying editors when reverting their edits. - Aoidh (talk) 00:26, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
@Aoidh Most of my revert have summary but if I won’t get the permission on either trials or indefinitely that’s fine, when should I reapply? Chippla ✍️ - Best Regards 00:39, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
I would personally suggest at least a month or two of solid anti-vandalism work, using edit summaries when needed and consistently notifying editors during that time period, before reapplying. - Aoidh (talk) 00:43, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
Sadly, other revert with summary didn’t count. Chippla ✍️ - Best Regards 00:48, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

I have been editing constructively on the project for a few years now and would like to more effectively revert disruptive edits when I encounter them. I am familiar with Wikipedia's policies and understand the distinction between purely disruptive edits and edits that may be unhelpful but are made in good-faith. When reverting a new user's edits, I make sure to properly explain myself in an edit summary and leave a message on the relevant article's or user's talk page as appropriate, unless the user is obviously acting in bad faith and WP:DENY applies, in which case I report them to a relevant noticeboard. I have thoroughly read the WP:ROLLBACK instructions and will make sure to familiarize myself with the tools before using them, and avoid using the rollback tools when they are not appropriate and another reversion tool would be more suitable. silviaASH (inquire within) 06:57, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
