Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Studio 666

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This was actually Taylor Hawkins' final appearance, and Mike Myers and Seth MacFarlane aren't even in this movie. It would make sense for this article to be semi-protected following that and Taylor Hawkins' death. 2601:204:203:5110:E4C7:7A0C:CC75:B0D9 (talk) 18:22, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Lia Thomas

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Contentious trans celebrity's talk page is being used by IPs as a forum. Requesting protection for a year hoping her celebrity fades a bit, based on past protection that recently expired. A. C. SantacruzPlease ping me! 21:53, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Horní Suchá

Reason: There is currently an ongoing content dispute between users Herzog von Teschen and FromCzech. Requesting a revert to the last stable version Special:Diff/1079741867 and a full page protection for at least a couple days. Thank you. - Darwinek (talk) 23:35, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Ukrainian Air Force

Reason: This page has recently faced rampant vandalism from pro-Russian IP accounts attempting to delete information or otherwise insinuate that the Ukrainian Air Force has been destroyed, which is harmful misinformation. A quick scan of the 50 most recent edits (going back to 25/3) shows that most of them have been IP vandalism or reversions thereof. Toadspike (talk) 00:18, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Forgot to specify that I am requesting indefinite semi-protection, to be reviewed once current events make it no longer necessary (not in the foreseeable future). Toadspike (talk) 00:19, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Rachel Unitt

Unprotection: After significant vandalism between 2010 and 2013, interest in this article has been neglible, with only 4 gnome edits each year in 2020 and 2021 and 1 constructive edit in 2022. Protection does not seem to be needed anymore. (Admin who applied the protection is inactive.). Schazjmd (talk) 15:37, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Note: Good call. One constructive IP edit that I saw in years --Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:59, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Cody Rhodes

Reason: The article should be protected, yes, but not with that only administrators can edit protection, the user who made the protection certainly do not cares who Rhodes is, the article must be updated since the return of this wrestler last night at WrestleMania 38. TheBellaTwins1445 (talk) 20:56, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Declined @TheBellaTwins1445: If the article needs to be updated, you can start discussion at the article talk page and build consensus there, then request an edit via the {{subst:EP}} template. —C.Fred (talk) 21:46, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Isn’t there a log?--CreecregofLife (talk) 22:56, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
There is indeed, and it indicates that it was semi-protected as a redirect to prevent repeated recreations. Obviously, it no longer exists as one. @Sandstein: I'm inclined to unprotect, given that things have changed since then. Thoughts? Sdrqaz (talk) 00:58, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Many exaggerated information has been given out. It does not match with the real history. Vmshera (talk) 01:30, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

User:Khonda8

Created over a dozen clean, well referenced articles of notable athletes and kickboxers this year, with over 300 created articles since 2018. No issues now as far as I can tell. HᴇʀᴘᴇᴛᴏGᴇɴᴇꜱɪꜱ (talk) 16:56, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure about this one. There are a lot of notifications about moves to draftspace and subsequent G13 deletions on their user page. And looking at a sample of articles, the prose is not great and there are a lot of citations to Facebook pages and YouTube videos. Also, forgive my ignorance about Thai naming conventions: but are things like Silapathai Jockygym, Lamnamoonlek Tded99, Chokdee PK.Saenchaimuaythaigym, Kongklai AnnyMuayThai and Sam-D PetchyindeeAcademy really correctly-romanised names of people?? On the other hand, they seem exclusively interested in Thai kickboxing, which is probably a low-risk topic area. Would appreciate a second opinion on this one, @Schwede66: maybe? – Joe (talk) 13:18, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 Done I've pondered this for a while, Joe Roe. Yes, sourcing might be an issue but this seems to be restricted to participants who were active a long time ago. While article naming appears questionable, I couldn't see any evidence of bios having been moved. Regarding content that's been deleted, the most recent was Khayal Dzhaniev in September 2021, which was self-nominated by Khonda. Every other deletion is related to content not younger than early 2021. So things seem to have been stable for a good length of time. I've assigned autopatrolled for 6 months and then we can have another look. Schwede66 21:57, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

User:Dandilero

At the time I am writing this, I have created 25 articles, all of them using the translation tool to bring articles from the Spanish Wikipedia to the English Wikipedia. Mainly about journalists, TV shows or YouTubers. I would like to get this rank to speed up the work of the reviewers. Thank you. Dandilero (talk) 17:54, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

@Dandilero: I've checked a sample of your articles and they all look good, but since it has been less than a month since you started creating articles and the majority of them have not yet been reviewed, I would prefer to hold off to see what comes out of more thorough review. So  Not done for now, but if you are still creating lots of articles in say three months, and nothing else comes up, I would be happy to grant you autopatrolled. Thanks for offering and keep up the good work, – Joe (talk) 11:47, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for your response Joe, I completely understand your decision. I will continue to create pages and see you in a few months. Thank you. Dandilero (talk) 13:13, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

User:Lewolka

Hello, Mainly to give a break to Rosguill, Joseywales1961, Seacactus and all the other New page patrolers ... Lewolka (talk) 11:39, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

@Lewolka: Similar to Dandilero above, I don't see any major issues with your articles, but it has only been a couple of months and most of them have not actually been reviewed yet. We generally reserve autopatrolled for "prolific" editors that have been creating articles at a high rate for a significant length of time.  Not done but feel free to reapply in three months or so if you still think it would be helpful to have the right. Thank you for your contributions. – Joe (talk) 11:51, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
@Joe Roe: No problems, thanks for taking the time to check on this. All my best Lewolka (talk) 15:00, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

User:Ganesha811

I've created 26 articles (all of which are still extant) and have been around consistently since 2018. While I'm not an especially prolific contributor, I also create redirects with some regularity, and would like to do my part to reduce the burden on new page reviewers. Ganesha811 (talk) 19:36, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

FYI, if this request is denied (which I doubt!), for auto-patrolling of redirects Ganesha can be added to Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist. Cheers, 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 01:47, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
@Ganesha811: I'm not seeing a convincing need for autopatrolled, given that as you say, you're not an especially prolific creator of articles (26 over a 5 year period). But following EpicPupper's suggestion I've added you to the redirect whitelist.  Not done for the bot. – Joe (talk) 13:11, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

User:Ukraina12

I ask you to give me the auto patrol flag, I have already created 12 articles, and this is not the last figure, I have created more than 85 articles in the Russian Wikipedia, I am translating from the Russian version to the English Wikipedia! --Ukraina12 (talk) 10:57, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has created roughly 12 articles. MusikBot talk 11:00, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
@Ukraina12: Thank you for your contributions, but the minimum requirement for autopatrolled is 12 articles. Only articles created on the English Wikipedia count towards this figure, as different Wikipedias have different rules and expectations for new articles.  Not done but please keep up the good work. – Joe (talk) 11:37, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

User:SunDawn

Good day! I am applying for this permission because I think I can execute the responsibility of a new page reviewer. I have experience in rollbacks and I enjoy reverting vandalism, but I also want to learn other sides of Wikipedia. New pages reviewer seems interesting to me as it is a side of Wikipedia that I have rarely seen. I have read the guidelines and according to my own opinion, I am able to do the task as outlined. I have been blocked once for WP:3RR violation more than 6 months ago, and I have promised that I would be more careful in that regard. Thank you very much and have a great day to y'all. SunDawntalk 09:45, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

User:The Tips of Apmh

I am requesting new page reviewer as I have gotten more experienced with deletion, notability, netrality, advertising, and new drafts in general since I last requested new page reviewer. This time I would instead like a trial if possible, to see if I can correctly handle the right. The Tips of Apmh 14:52, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

How would you say you have gained that experience? Your AFC contribs look to be maintenance related, you have only a handful of CSDs and little AfD contributions. With your previous declined AFCs, I'm looking for something substantial. -- Amanda (she/her) 02:16, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

User:Zippybonzo

I would like to help clear the backlog of unreviewed pages - there are so many disambiguation pages/redirects that are unreviewed and could do with being reviewed to allow other reviewers to find the pages that do need patrolling - I would also like to clear the backlog by accepting pages that have good quality, reliable citations and are notable enough for them to be included in Wikipedia, I would also like to CSD/Draftify (dependent on what the content of the page is) pages that have been created by an overenthusiastic newcomer that does not yet understand how to create a good quality page and I would help them learn how to create a good quality page. I believe that if I put enough effort in I would be able to clear the backlog in a good time period. I would also work hand in hand with the AfC process to speedily review the pages that are accepted in AfC. Thank you for taking the time to review my request for New page reviewer and I hope to be able to clear the backlog if I am granted the permission. Zippybonzo | talk 16:32, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

User:Hey man im josh

I'd like to help work on clearing out the backlog of unreviewed pages. I've often found I receive notifications quite a while later after creating redirects or a new navbox. I'm fairly active and would like to start expanding outside of my niche on Wikipedia (American football) and I think this would be a good opportunity for me to do so. In my niche I've worked at trying to revert vandalism, unsourced edits, and have been requesting page protections and adding banners where appropriate. The more I'm exposed to, the more I'll be able to grow and contribute with. Having read the tutorial I'm confident I'll be able to reference that, the flowchart, and the actions of other patrollers to make the right decisions. If I make a mistake, I don't intend on making twice. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:09, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for new page reviewer declined in the past 90 days ([2]). MusikBot talk 08:10, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

User:DIACHRONY

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights:

I have over 500 mainspace edits and 90 day tenure. I have been active in editing and maintaining articles for over a year. Some of my edits have been minor, but I have many contributions that have spanning medical topics (for example: Pilonidal disease, Vitamin E, ADHD, Vitamin D, Ginkgo biloba) and more areas. I have extensive experience with quality control outside of Wikipedia and have created the Al-Sayyida al-Mu'iziyya. Further, I have fleshed out articles that were previously low quality or only stubs (examples: Hunza Valley, London Kaye, Girl Named Tom, ). This is an excellent space for educating others, particularly when it comes to marginalized topics around the world and I could assist others who want to expand on marginalized topics through page creation. After creating and editing some of the above examples, I have learned more about the specific criteria needed and could assist in the endeavour for other new pages.

Pending changes reviewer

User:Hcoder3104

Hi, I am Hcoder3104. I have been a wikipedian for around three years, and have recently became active, jumping from 150 to over 700 edits in two months. I have worked in counter vandalism, however not as often as I would like, due to being unable to really find any. I would like to have these permissions to clear the backlog and work more in counter vandalism. Hcoder3104☭ (💬) 16:08, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Reading your old request and reading the new one - edit count still isn't important. Whether you meet the requirements isn't always important - if you are one edit off rollback requirements but you understand how to use rollback you are more than likely able to get it - the same for PCR - it isn't the edits, it is the experience that matters. Zippybonzo | talk 15:17, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Hey there! I have been on Wikipedia for a little over 2 years and I have made almost over 1,000 edits within the past year.

Requests for rollback


Rollback

User:-Alabama-

Hello. I have 1260+ contributions, almost all of them dedicated to patrolling recent changes. I use the Special:recent changes tabs, but mostly SWViewer. I warn users about my rollbacks against their edits, following the correct processes (I'm not going to write all my modus operandi because otherwise my request would be very long, but would be fine checking my last 500 edits). I participate in the administrators's noticeboards to report cases of vandalism. Also, every time I do a bad rollback I rollback to myself, usually typing in the edit summary terms like "Error, I'm sorry", etc., and I've reported by mail to the OS on VRT vandalism with serious content that I must not expose in public. I always have a browser tab open where I monitor that my rollbacks are correct, and I also monitor recent changes and 'hits' (by 'hits' I mean channel bots log when an abuse log is tripped on a page by the users) from the abuse logs on the #cvn-wp-en connect IRC channel alongside other users. Last but not least, I'm a veteran eswiki user with rollbacker privileges, where I've gained a lot of experience with the flag, so the rollback tool isn't new to me; in any case I've read and am familiar with the policies that involve using the flag. -Alabama- (talk) 22:41, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

I noticed tat you're not always warning editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4). Could you please comment on that? Thanks, FASTILY 00:53, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
@Fastily: when you work with SWViewer you rollback in many projects, sometimes they go unnoticed, or someone else does it before me, ahead of me... or else, at that moment I have to disconnect (real life) and when I come back I forget. -Alabama- (talk) 01:15, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
Add: sometimes I run into vandals who have already received the four warnings and are already reported on a noticeboard, so there is nothing left for me to do. In example 3, I do have to admit that I missed or forgot (just giving another example). -Alabama- (talk) 01:19, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for clarifying. Could you please make a commitment to ensuring that you are warning users adequately? -FASTILY 01:49, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
@Fastily: Yes, actually, I was going to tell you that I will work hard to improve, and make sure I give all the proper warnings and take care of my reversals (or all my actions, in general). I accept the commitment. -Alabama- (talk) 01:53, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
Great, thanks for confirming!  Done -FASTILY 03:05, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
Fastily: I am not sure why Alabama has problem with warnings. He / she has reverted my only warning template twice [4] and [5] from a vandal user page, I have added that warning template with good faith, because warnings help the blocking admin to block vandals, In first case I have reverted his / her edit by using rollback because I assume removing warnings from vandal user page is disruptive. Your help is requested in this regard. Many thanks. Dove's talk (talk) 21:35, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Fastily, I also don't rightly get what was going on there. I'm trying to figure out the history of User talk:50.226.176.98. This makes no sense to me; if -Alabama- wanted to do something useful, they could have reported the IP to AIV, but they didn't. So then Dove reverts, and Alabama reverts again, with an edit summary with some nonsense about a flag. BTW I also don't understand Dove's warning--a final warning after a fourth warning for someone who should have been ****ing reported and blocked at 20:23 already, after this edit, but Dove didn't report to AIV either. What gives here, you two? Fastily, I don't think Alabama should have rollback yet, and I have my doubts about Dove too, since reverting a final warning template after a fourth warning template has already been issued isn't really disruptive. Maybe we just have two egos fighting here--none of which helps our encyclopedia. And Extraordinary Writ, why didn't you just go and report that awful person right away after this disgusting edit? Look at how much more shit they got away with. Drmies (talk) 22:22, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Drmies, thank you for your quick reply. I have tried to report that IP but it was not successful as there was already one report present there, not sure what was happening there. Dove's talk (talk) 22:30, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Hello everyone. If I'm not mistaken, the IP continued to vandalize after the 4th warning, Dove's talk added an "Only warning" notice after the 4th warning, which I considered unnecessary and also the IP was already reported (if it was already reported I can't report him too ), so I UNDO Dove's talk, I didn't revert him or her (rather Dove reverted me with the revert that is for vandalism, which doesn't seem appropriate to me, nor does it seem right to bring the topic up here because I haven't used the revert against him/her or Drmies.). I don't see anything wrong with them wanting to discuss the issue, but it doesn't seem appropriate here because I only apply the quick revert to vandals (I make mistakes too, but I correct myself). -Alabama- (talk) 00:03, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
And also, @Drmies: [...] I don't think Alabama should have rollback yet, [...]: I already have considerable experience (although in Eswiki we have very strict criteria with the expiration of each flag) unlike Dove's (and I don't think of this as a battle of egos or a competition over who is more experienced than who), in other projects and I know what I'm doing, undoing a warning to Dove's talk that I considered unnecessary has nothing to do with the rollback tool/flag. -Alabama- (talk) 00:12, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
And I add once again: @Drmies: in your comment: [...] I also don't understand Dove's warning--a final warning after a fourth warning for someone who should have been ****ing reported and blocked at 20:23 already, [...] that's what I mean! thats why I undid the Dovie's warning!
There is something that I think Dovie's talk did wrong and I repeat: he or she applied his or her tool against me, and I quote from the rollbackers policy (here): Use of standard rollback for any other purposes – such as reverting good-faith changes which you happen to disagree with – is likely to be considered misuse of the tool.
In your comment, Drmies, again: and Alabama reverts again, with an edit summary with some nonsense about a flag: I didn't revert, I undid it. And to tools like the "patroller", "rollbacker", etc. they are also called flags, and that it was wrong for Dove's to use the rollback "against me", was what I wanted to tell you in this edit summary. My sole purpose was for the IP to receive the correct notices, my decision was clear: after I reported the IP on AIV, Dolve's talk leaves you with a unique warning, which merits more for Vandalism-only accounts, after the IP continued to vandalize Wikipedia after its fourth warning at 14:44 after Extraordinary Writ last told him at 14:36.
I don't want to be arbitrary, so I'm stating it from my point of view: I consider that I corrected a Dove's talk's mistake, but in response, I received a hard rollback and a mention on this page as if I was abusing my rollbacker tool, which is not true. -Alabama- (talk) 01:03, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
OK, -Alabama-, "I didn't revert, I undid it" (I copied your excessive formatting), that's just--well, it's very wrong. I mean, if you don't understand that "revert" and "undo" are the same thing, well. I mean, they are. And that is precisely an abuse of rollback. Your point of view can be very exciting, but from my point of view, that of an administrator who's read the rules (for en-wiki; any other wiki's rules are irrelevant), it's not relevant here.
And here is the other thing: you keep talking about the same thing over and over, and what you are missing, and this is what Dove Talk did address, while you were fucking around about some warning, some creep was placing disgusting and unacceptable comment on Wikipedia. I don't know if Dove is correct about that glitch in reporting, but it is possible, so I am going to assume that at least Dove tried. You, I don't know what you were doing, but none of it was productive. Your concern shouldn't be for the IP to get the right notice or whatever; your concerns should be (look at the IP's edits) the integrity of the encyclopedia, the rights of living people, and the safety of our editors. Once you understand a. the rules for rollback and b. the purpose of it, you can ask for it again. Drmies (talk) 01:53, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
@Drmies: I do know the difference between "undo" and "rollback" (and how each should be used), and apologies for missing the point Dove brought up. I just saw that the 'unique' warning was too much and I removed it, but then the issue got out of hand, and what the IP did was horrible, and I think it's perfect to mention it. I am here for the issue of reversal, I respect and understand the rest. And I don't see why the tool should be taken away from me, if I only use it to combat vandalism anyway, just like Dove, and the others. Greetings, -Alabama- (talk) 02:00, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
Requesting immediate archiving... . Mark for archiving. Rollback was revoked per above, and isn't going to be re-granted anytime soon. -FASTILY 22:53, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

User:Zippybonzo

I am requesting rollback - mainly because a lot of vandalism slips through the net - with SWViewer it queues what it believes to be vandalism which results in less false positives than patrolling recent changes with filters. With Huggle - you get access to the Huggle Antivandalism Network which would coordinate my attempts to revert vandalism with other Huggle Users and ClueBot NG.

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for rollback declined in the past 90 days ([6]). MusikBot talk 14:50, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Said request was 2 months ago - I believe that since then - I have become a better editor and have become a better vandalism fighter. Zippybonzo | talk 15:28, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

User:CX Zoom

I had requested this right previously (see Special:Diff/1060581385) on 15 Dec 2021 and my request was rejected as I didn't need rollback much at that point of time. Since then, especially in 2022, I've started to significantly use Twinkle's rollback and restore version tools along with generic undo and revert pending changes options, and believe that rollbacker right will help me with such tasks, and thus I'm re-requesting this right. Thanks! ---CX Zoom(he/him) (let's talk|contribs) 18:23, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
