I am a Wikipedia:administrator since July 5, 2004. I first contributed to Wikipedia in April of 2001 (oldest edits lost in early software upgrades). My first edit with my username appears to be on April 26. I have been active on a number of online projects - active and passive (SETI@Home, Distributed Proofreaders, Mars crater labeling, Stardust@Home, Folding@Home on the Wikipedia team: Team page, etc.)

Semi-Protection: Persistent targeting by IP account listing Euromaidan revolution as a coup. Bird244 (talk) 15:04, 29 January 2025 (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 15:09, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Talk:Hypergiant

[edit]

Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Multiple disruptive edits and ridiculous mass reverts from sockpuppets of a banned and locked user, who is ignorantly and angrily lashing out on people of quote-unquote "having bias towards VY Canis Majoris as the largest star" even despite my criticism and as well as List of largest stars still having stars with larger radii. Furthermore, this user has been cherry-picking unreliable and biased info like for NML Cygni and UY Scuti in particular such as old radii and status as the largest which likely just came from older Wikipedia revisions (and WP isn't a reliable reference). Just because a ref states a star as the largest star known doesn't mean it should be blindly considered as 100% as the largest depending on other sources and especially the reliable value estimate of the said star (see also an archived discussion). It can be said this sockpuppet creator may be just attempting to rudely force his takes on others rather than discuss in talk page in a civil way. Same goes for other pages this user recently edited like NML Cygni, Red supergiant, Talk:List of largest stars, Stephenson 2 DFK 1, Orders of magnitude (length), and List of star extremes. I apologize if my English was bad. Thanks. Regards—ZaperaWiki44(✉/Contribs) 19:59, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Laken Riley Act

[edit]

Reason: Anonymous accounts keep replacing the article with terms like "illegal alien" which is inaccurate and dehumanizing. Who the law affects is also under dispute in the talk page and I think it should be edit protected for the time being so we can reach a consensus on what terms to use.

Chinese New Year

[edit]

Reason: Requesting temporary semi-protection for two weeks, i.e. a few days after Chinese New Year ends. Annual uptick in unsourced and vandal edits due to the festival starting, including racist vandalism. Don't need another year of admins having to revert and hide a dozen revisions. Yue🌙 22:25, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Pradip Kumar Varma

[edit]

Reason: This page is frequently subject to vandalism and spam edits by unauthorized users. Due to the high-profile nature of the individual, these disruptive changes are undermining the integrity and accuracy of the content. Requesting semi-protection to restrict editing to only registered users or full protection to ensure that the content remains accurate and reliable. Pkvranchi (talk) 06:14, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. In fact, you've made the majority of the edits, and I suspect you're the article subject, seeking the sort of pre-emptive protection we almost never grant. Daniel Case (talk) 06:43, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The "R" in RNE stands for "recent", suggesting that the elections needs to have actually been held before we can invoke it. Daniel Case (talk) 06:47, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Shortcuts

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.

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.

User:Ojsyork

[edit]

I've seen this editor's work on multiple occasions at New Page Review. Has created 208 pages, none deleted, more than 3/4 of them B-class. High-quality page creation with infoboxes, quality references with proper formatting, images, etc., requiring no cleanup by reviewers. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm concerned that many of the articles on lifeboat stations don't meet GNG. After looking at a random sampling of them, most of them cite the Lifeboat Enthusiasts Society (of which Martin states they are a member of on their talk page), which appears to be an WP:SPS, and The Lifeboat, a publication of the RNLI, which is not an independent source. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:15, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I would have thought the same thing when I first encountered these articles, but there are several independent published sources on these lifesaving stations. Whenever I've done a BEFORE search on one, I always find GNG-qualifying sourcing. This came up in an AfD for one of Ojsyork's creations last year (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bamburgh Castle Lifeboat Station), which resulted in a "keep". Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:21, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

User:Needforname

[edit]

I would like to request auto-patrolled rights on Wikipedia. I have been actively contributing to the project and have created more than 30 of articles to date, which adhere to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I believe my experience and attention to detail make me a good fit for this role. Granting me auto-patrolled rights would help reduce the workload on other patrollers by automatically marking my new pages as reviewed.

Please feel free to review my contributions and articles to ensure they meet the necessary standards. Let me know if any additional information is required.

Thank you for considering my request! Needforname (talk) 17:39, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

 Not done. Hello Needforname and thanks for your contributions. All your articles seem to be in need of a decent copyedit, and therefore can use another pair of eyes. The criteria for giving autopatrolled are that the articles need to be 'nearly perfect'. One way to improve the English in your article is to nominate one of your articles at WP:GOCE, and learn from the mistakes that are corrected. Or you can use an LLM and ask it to find grammatical errors. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 21:12, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

User:Ahola .O

[edit]

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights Ahola .O (talk) 22:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC) I am requesting the autopatrolled user right because I have been actively contributing to Wikipedia and believe that my experience and adherence to Wikipedia's guidelines make me a suitable candidate for this right, I have created over 25 articles, all of which comply with Wikipedia's notability guidelines and content policies. My contributions have consistently aimed to enhance the quality and reliability of the encyclopedia. I believe that granting me the autopatrolled user right will help reduce the workload of new page patrollers and allow me to continue contributing to Wikipedia more efficiently. Thank you for considering my request. Ahola .O (talk)

(Non-administrator comment) You are currently not adding to the "workload of new page patrollers", in fact, your creations need to be watched closely. Not when I specifically told you here that the pieces you presented to inquire about Bobo Ajudua are thrash and nonsensical and told you to focus elsewhere instead of on an article that has been deleted several times. Yet, you went ahead to create it, and now, it has been deleted again? via AfD. And this? Your creations need to be watched and that is what the NPP is for.

Could you please point to where the date of birth of Gautam Vig is referenced, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:14, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Schwede66, I hope you enjoyed your vacation. I have sourced the DOB in the early life section as per WP:INFOBOXREF. I followed the editing style of Geniac, the way he improved Sheezan Khan and tried adapting the same. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:48, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, I had a fab wee holiday. I don't understand your answer. I see that there is one ref in the infobox, and that reference does confirm the date of birth, but it is attached to the spouse only. Could you please explain what you mean, and how the referencing confirms the date of birth, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:59, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Schwede66 In the above mentioned article I have sourced the date of birth in the Early life section, see here. And the spouse's source is just about their marriage. I'm following the editing style of Geniac, the improvement he did in one of my previously created article see here. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 09:38, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Sorry, which reference states the date of Vig's date of birth? I cannot see it. Schwede66 18:29, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Schwede66, I have used two sources for DOB, Colors TV and India Today. You can find both the sources in the Early life section. Hope it helps, if you still can't verify the birth date, you're most welcome to remove it. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 18:50, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
@C1K98V Is it just me or the webpage you're linking to from colorstv.com is redirecting to a /mena/ directory making it impossible to see what you're talking about or citing. As for the indiatoday.in, you did not initially position the citation as of when Schwede66 started reviewing your request, you only repositioned the citation today. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi Vanderwaalforces, I'm not sure if the Colorstv website works outside of India. Let's wait for Schwede66 to confirm if they're able to verify it. I'm sharing a screenshot of the website for reference [1]. While searching for sources related to their academics, I found IndiaToday and added it later in the Early life section. I repositioned the named citation as I wanted to highlight it for Schwede66, so I left an edit summary too. Thanks for your consideration. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 03:43, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) I can access the colorstv source and confirm that it mentions Gautam Vig's date of birth. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

User:Jjackson10003

[edit]

Dear Wikipedia Administrators,

I am writing to request the necessary permissions to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on my Wikipedia account. I value the security of my account and believe that adding 2FA will provide an additional layer of protection, ensuring the safety of my contributions and the integrity of my account.

My Contributions: Username: Jjackson10003 Account Details: Autoconfirmed user since August 10, 2020, with 10 edits to date. I have actively contributed to Wikipedia by [briefly describe your contributions, such as editing specific articles, creating pages, or participating in discussions]. Reason for Request: As technology evolves, the risk of account hijacking increases, particularly with the rise of AI and changes in regimes that may encourage bad actors to exploit vulnerabilities. Enabling 2FA will significantly reduce the likelihood of unauthorized access to my account and prevent potential misuse. Ensuring account security is critical, both for individual users and for the protection of Wikipedia’s broader community and platform integrity.

While I am currently an autoconfirmed user, I understand that 2FA is typically reserved for users with advanced permissions. I kindly request that I be considered for either extended confirmed user status or temporary access to enable 2FA.

Commitment to Wikipedia Standards: I am committed to following Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines, ensuring that my contributions adhere to community standards. I believe that my request aligns with the shared goal of maintaining a secure and trustworthy environment for editors and the broader Wikipedia community.

Thank you for considering my request. Please let me know if there is any additional information or clarification needed. I am happy to provide further details about my contributions or intentions.

Sincerely, Jjackson10003 Jjackson10003 (talk) 16:00, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

 Not done We do not consider requests that were rather obviously generated by AI. --Kinu t/c 16:02, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
In addition to what Kinu said, extended confirmed doesn't confer the ability to enable 2FA. You'll need to follow the instructions at H:ACCESS2FA. stwalkerster (talk) 17:05, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello, long time user of Wikipedia here, with a relatively new account which has less than 500 edits, while I was working on translating an article about an Israeli nurse and women's rights activist שרה לשנסקי (Sara Lishansky) from Hebrew to English. I noticed that I was only able to publish my translation as draft, What are my options in this case? AsmarTiba (talk) 11:06, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

P.S. I have previously done translation from English to Hebrew, I figured this limitation only applies when translating to English. AsmarTiba (talk) 11:39, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Your recent contributions to Talk:Sinsinwar and User_talk:Ratnahastin/Archive_3#h-Please_do_some_research_before_removing_anything.-20250118173800 don't inspire confidence in me about your understanding of our sourcing policies (and/or ability to maintain a neutral POV when editing WP:IPA topics). On that basis itself, I'm inclined to mark this as {{not done}}, however, I'll let other folks weigh in. Sohom (talk) 04:06, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

 Not done at this time, but if you enroll in WP:NPRSCHOOL I would be more than willing to give you this permission. Dr vulpes (Talk) 07:54, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I am requesting NPR rights to help maintain the quality of new pages and ensure Wikipedia’s standards. I will handle this role responsibly.

I understand Wikipedia’s notability, verifiability, and content policies like WP:NPOV and reliable sourcing. I’m also aware of the need to prevent spam, promotional content, and poorly sourced articles.

I've been Wiki-editing since 2018 and have become a familiar face on the snooker project. I'm accustomed to creating articles and redirects, and I'm fully conversant with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I've co-nominated three articles for FAC (all promoted) and contributed to many other FACs. I've been a pending changes reviewer since May 2020, and I like to think I am fair and neutral in any discussions that I get involved in. With over 24,000 main space edits to my name, I've been quite an active editor over the years, and I think I could make a useful contribution as a New page reviewer.

I've been editing for over five years with 2.2K mainspace edits, which includes over 30 new articles. In May 2024, Clovermoss gave me a three-month trial of the NPP permission, and I got the reviewer barnstar in that month's backlog drive. I sparingly used AFD and CSD during my reviewing, but that is mostly because when I found deficient articles, I spent the time to make them passable, rather than sending them for draftification/deletion. When I did propose content for deletion, I generally received community consensus to do so. I am seeking the permission for permanent use, but another trial works too!

Recently active back at RM for the past three months after being extremely active many years ago. I was brought to MR twice in 2013 & 2015 and in both cases my closure was endorsed. I have !voted recently in most of the recent months of MR and always aligned with consensus. Spent the last three months getting reacquainted with the changes in policy and approaches to RM's and have started to perform some closures. Would appreciate the bit to help reduce the need for CSD#G6 and/or RM/TR to complete some of these moves. Thanks! TiggerJay (talk) 08:47, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Do you find yourself actually needing this, or are you just ticking the box because you meet the minimum requirements? I note that you have an RM/TR request and a couple of G6's, but otherwise not much in the way of necessity so far. Primefac (talk) 15:21, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
Currently I'm avoiding some NAC because I am not really a fan of using TR because what I've found is that the admin who does perform the TR ends up doing all of the busy work (post move cleanup). IMHO the closer should perform the dirty work of cleaning up the move, and I'm happy to do so. I would see myself closing more discussions if the bit was available. That is the reason for the low number of current TR/G6, but you can see the frequency I previously require those tools prior to a wikibreak over at my CSD log. For me the bit is not about hat collecting, but rather simply because I'm getting back involved in Wiki (due to life-schedule changes) and as a formerly trusted and well-reputed RM-NAC, these tools would make more closures with follow-on work accessible.

User:Footballnerd2007

[edit]

I’m requesting rollback tool to help with vandalism fighting more effectively. I’ve been active in counter-vandalism work and have a good understanding of policies like WP:VAND and WP:AGF. While I’ve made mistakes in the past, I’ve taken the feedback onboard, slowed down, and focused on making more accurate judgements.

Rollback would allow me to handle clear vandalism more efficiently without cluttering edit histories. I’m committed to using it responsibly and only for obvious cases of vandalism, leaving more complex issues for discussion or reporting.

Thank you for considering my request. Footballnerd2007 • talk ⚽ 17:27, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]

I am re-requesting rollback after being denied around the end of December for not being consistent enough in RC patrol to meet the criteria. I understand that now and have come back with hopefully having reverted obvious and blatant vandalism more consistently over the past month. As always, I assume good faith, and when it comes to recent changes, if I see something that I'm not quite sure is vandalism or not, I won't undo it. I am well-versed in the different warning templates and when to use each one, and I know when it is appropriate to report to WP:AIV. Rollback will help me quickly undo the very obvious and problematic vandalism that I might catch on RC. Fishy-Finns (talk) 19:43, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights I mainly spend my time on Wikipedia correcting non-constructive edits and vandalism, as well as notifying users.

Hi. I would like to request the rights to edit certain templates, such as the {{piechart}} template and its associated module, important when its usage increases. I want to have these rights in advance so I can apply fixes when needed.

I am already a sysop on pl-wiki and an interface admin on several wikis, including meta-wiki. See more on my page: User:Nux.

In real life, I am a library systems programmer with professional experience in WCAG and hold a certificate in web accessibility, which is useful for certain aspects of template development (colors, structure). I also work on gadgets and CI/CD scripts, such as Wikipedia:Wikiploy, which, while less relevant to templates, demonstrates my programming experience — an important skill for working with Lua modules.

Oh, I did read the guidelines. I even translated them into Polish; it didn't gain traction on plwiki, but at least now I know them :) Nux (talk) 20:37, 29 January 2025 (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.
