Reason: Good evening, I'm ShawarmaFan07, very recently, I have been witnessing several edit-warring on and off due to the following things; neither of which are ethical. There had been removals of Israel's style of cooking that dish, and this is not appropriate to transfer the Israel-Palestine conflict online as it is not necessary and promotes racism. Furthermore, there had been arguments to whether or not shawarma is just an Arab dish or generally Middle Eastern; with mentions of Israel, Turkey and Georgia, it is appropriate to say that it is a general Middle Eastern food, nevertheless, there are edits that continue to revert back into calling the dish "Arab". I also suspect that this editing conflict will continue. Using the talk page to gain consensus did not help as I had no response for the past several minutes, but I have been accused of inappropriately edit warring, despite revert back to the correct edits of how shawarma is a general Middle Eastern dish (again, due to Israel and Turkey consuming it). So I suggest that there should be protection for this sub to prevent further conflicts. Of course, in general, using Wikipedia for any personal attack is not appropriate. Any of your suggestions and actions will be great. Thank you! ShawarmaFan07 (talk) 20:02, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

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.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Reason: The Protection is no longer necessary because the personality seems to be a controversial profile based on the available news, even the supreme court of India gave judgement against her, but some users are refraining the page to get edited and gave it the semiprotection level. I request to unprotect it so that the users can see it as a neutral platform to give them the equal rights to edit pages like it. Pinnacle1213 (talk) 06:42, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

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.


My suggestion is to leave out the following 2 sentences in the "German complicity" paragraph as they seem to be based on misunderstandings:

"She also highlighted police suppression of pro-Palestine protests throughout Germany[509] as evidence of state complicity.[508] Karen Wells et al. highlight how Germany has entrenched its complicity in Israel's actions by banning use of the word "genocide" in reference to Israel.[471][better source needed]"

1. In general violent protests are not allowed in Germany. As some of the first pro-Palestine protests were violent, they were sometimes forbidden by courts, if they were expected to turn violent. But that is common policy in Gemany with all subjects and not special for pro-Palestine protests.

Meanwhile, there even is a calendar concerning pro-Palestinian protests[3] with daily up to 20 protests all over Germany. Thus, there is no general police suppression of pro-Palestine protests as is suggested by the current wording.

2. The word “genocide” is not banned in reference to Israel in Germany - maybe that was a misunderstanding: What is not allowed in Germany is to call for genocide against Jews. The slogan “From the river to the sea” is seen as such call and banned. Gilbert04 (talk) 15:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Consider changing "The Israeli government rejected South Africa's allegations, and accused the court of being antisemitic, which it often does when criticised" to "The Israeli government has been accused of consistently weaponizing antisemitism against it's critics, including in the ICJ ruling." Ecco2kstan (talk) 23:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

The Weaponization of antisemitism page hyperlinked over "often done" has many sources to draw from regarding the accusations' consistency and nature.
My main concern with the original text is that it's voiced as if it's an observation made by a Wikipedian. The benefit here is that the weaponization of antisemitism has a clearer consistency grounded outside of Wikipedia. Perhaps other ways to word this out include adding a time scale (increasingly accused since Oct. 7th) or specifying the critique (against critiques of their actions since Oct 7th).
If a lead paragraph change is necessary, there may be reason to outline Israeli motives and conditions for the genocide, including Zionism and anti-Arab racism. Ecco2kstan (talk) 23:25, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

Meets the minimum criteria, and a random sampling of their creations doesn't raise any red flags. My only concern is their liberal use of quotations in reception sections, but I don't consider it an overly serious issue for this permission as the copyright reports come away otherwise clean; I've also started a discussion on their talk page about it. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 18:54, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia Admins, I am requesting the Autopatrolled right to further support my contributions to Wikipedia. While I may not have thousands of edits or article creations, my work is rooted in careful research and learning from experienced editors. My focus is on Iranian early modern, modern, and contemporary art and culture, especially highlighting the stories of Iranian women often overlooked in history. I ensure all my edits are supported by reliable, academic sources, and I have a track record of accurate contributions with very few reverts. I believe that having the Autopatrolled right would allow me to continue enhancing the articles related to Iran and Iranian art and culture. Thank you for your consideration. Warm regards, Hounaam (talk) 22:53, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

I am requesting the Autopatrolled right, like any other editor, to help reduce the NPP work load. I have worked at AFC/NPP/AFD, and I've created good articles that would pass a deletion discussion if nominated. Cheers! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 11:47, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

  Not done All you ever create are two-sentence bios, and those are quick to patrol. We cannot assign autopatrolled for editors who produce bios if they've never written a complete one; you need to show us that you know how to do that. All your bios are missing the sortkey; please read WP:DEFAULTSORT, Chiku2004. I'd also like you to place the relevant stub tag. Schwede66 19:08, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

I have created 247 articles on English Wikipedia, covering a variety of subjects. I am currently a New Page Patroller and actively participate in Articles for Creation (AfC) and Articles for Deletion (AfD). I also enjoy turning the red links of notable recent deaths into blue, and I believe this right will help to reduce the workload at New Page Patrol (NPP). Thank you. Ibjaja055 (talk) 00:30, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I have created 25 articles by 2021, none of which has been deleted. Recently, I created another 3 articles, and in total I have made 3200 edits (none of which has been deleted). These articles and edits are primarily about modern Chinese history, which I am familiar with. And I just realized I may have been qualified for the "auto-patrol" right for a long time, but never asked for it. Therefore, I'd like to ask to become an auto-patroller which hopefully will also save some work for the new page patrollers in the future. Thank you very much.

File mover

I am requesting file mover rights, because I accidentally put a grammar error in my recent file post.

Page mover


I'd like to get this right to delete unnecessary redirects (i.e. move pages over existing single revision redirects regardless of target). Additionally, I would also like to try to harmonize some pages of Spanish municipalities with the name of the country and the province (when necessary) instead of other subnational units (such as comarca). Moreover if a double denomination exists in some cases, I shall use the slash with spaces in between to enhance visual effect of different linguistic nomenclatures. However if an English form is more relevant I shall use it instead of double and local denominations. Other than that I could help elsewhere to move pages if necessary. Thank you, Nuvolet (talk)

A reasonable number of moves, but I not seeing any WP:RM/TR requests and am concerned by this RM which – based on the previous RM – seemed doomed to fail in the first place. This discussion also looks to be going against you. Primefac (talk) 18:05, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
I only can say I'll be responsible if you grant me this right. I can participate in more TM, I just need to get usedd.to them. Yes it failed however I understood the norms and moved similar articles to Countryname. I opposed to Anatolian plateau because there are other geographical units that use capitalization in similar contexts. — Jɑuмe (dis-me) 01:14, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

I recently requested page mover permissions two months ago to help with the post-move cleanup of LGBTQ related articles following the rename of the article (and related Portal:LGBTQ and WP:WikiProject LGBTQ+ studies and related categories, following their respective RM's) and was granted the permissions for 2 months to automatically expire. I have since helped move a whole lot of uncontroversial pages to reflect the new consensus and participated in RMs for potentially more controversial ones, but there are still many more pages left, that I don't expect to be done by end of the month before my permissions would expire. I have since the request and the related Requested Move discussions gained a lot more experience in the space and find it quite interesting, so I'm coming here to request for the permission to be extended indefinitely as I would also like to continue to help with WP:RM/TR and getting more involved in being able to close RM's if they require moves with page mover permissions outside of just the LGBTQ article space, which I will continue to help move and the related post move cleanups (which I have helped do for not just articles I have moved myself, but also on behalf of several articles others have moved but missed to update related templates and such). Raladic (talk) 18:03, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

  Automated comment This user was granted temporary page mover rights by Primefac (expires 00:00, 30 October 2024 (UTC)). MusikBot talk 18:10, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
  Done until the end of year, primarily to finish up this task but also for further demonstration (of which I genuinely do not see right now) of other RM and RM/TR-related moves. Primefac (talk) 18:09, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, sounds good. Raladic (talk) 18:11, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Lately, I have been closing a large number of RM and CfD discussions after they are cross-posted to WP:CR. Having page mover rights would allow me to implement many of the former and even a few of the latter myself, instead of constantly needing to post technical requests. I have read and understood the guidelines concerning its use, and I am happy to entertain any questions regarding my work in the area to date. Thanks, and God bless.

Pending changes reviewer

I've been doing RC Patrolling (as a part of Anti-Vandalism) on Wikipedia for a while now, and I think that having the Pending Changes reviewer permission could be a good idea - there have been numerous instances involving a pending changes edit that I look at while looking through Special:RecentChanges that i wanted to accept/deny/etc, and i feel that this permission would be beneficial for my efficeincy. DM5Pedia 04:34, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I believe that I'd be a good Pending Changes Reviewer, as I have a good amount of time on my hands, and can do monotonous tasks, like denying obvious vandalism, and the like. I meet, what I believe are all the requirements for this right, and humbly ask to receive this privilege. Thanks in advance! Legendbird (talk) 09:06, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights: I have been a wikipedia editor for some time now and love to revert vandalism and unconstructive edits to prevent the spread of problems on wikipedia. I currently am a Recent Changes patrol and love my job! I have successfully achieved 1000 total edits (or ~ 325 mainspace edits) on the english wikipedia. I can't wait to be a pending changes reviewer, as it will allow me to stop the spread of vandalism even farther! Thanks, Cooldudeseven7 (Cheers! Let's Discuss over a cup of tea!)

Hello! I am a Wikipedian with a heavy focus on anti-vandalism work and would like this permission to be able to further contribute to the field. I have read the basic content policies, WP:BLP, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:V, and WP:NOT. Also, I have contributed with many vandalism reverts and am already familiar with what vandalism is and is not WP:VANDAL and already have the rollback right. I have also read WP:COPYRIGHT and have helped a little bit in deleting copyvios that already existed. I would love to be able to help even more and expand what I can do. Thanks, 🔄️TryAgainSooner🕑 🗣️ 21:16, 9 October 2024 (UTC)


Rollback

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have done TWO rollback rights request, and I am happy to say that I have surpassed 200 mainspace edits and have also surpassed 1 month of Recent Changes Patrolling.I love the ability to help, and I already love to prevent vandalism with the help of Ultraviolet and Twinkle. I am ready to join the rollbacker force to get access to more tools, like AntiVandal and Huggle for even faster response. Don't worry, I won't bite the newcomers unless necessary!

Could you please comment on this edit and subsequent warning from @Oblivy. Why did you make this edit and do you believe it was appropriate for Oblivy to warn you? -Fastily 05:26, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
I was a beginner at the time and I did not think that I would have to read the diffs for an edit that causes the word "its" to change to "it's." I really think that it was important for Oblivy to warn me, as it teaches me to never just blatantly use find and replace. Thanks, Cooldudeseven7 (Cheers! Let's Discuss over a cup of tea!) Celebrating 1000 Edits!   01:29, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
For what it’s worth the rapid fire use of find and replace gave me some concerns. I did look through their edits and this seemed to be a one-off, and the immediate acceptance of responsibility and efforts to resolve are praiseworthy. OTOH automated tools in the wrong hands can cause a lot of havoc in a hurry… Oblivy (talk) 09:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
I did not mean to cause any harm back then and I now decided that reading diffs is important and you cant just do a repetitive shortcut to find and replace on articles. Thanks, Cooldudeseven7 (Cheers! Let's Discuss over a cup of tea!) Celebrating 1000 Edits!   17:30, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Hey! This is Cooldudeseven7 again, and i'm just asking if there is any progress on this Rollback case? Thanks, Cooldudeseven7 (Cheers! Let's Discuss over a cup of tea!) Celebrating 1000 Edits!   11:15, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

(Trying this again because one of my scripts broke the template)

I have been reverting vandalism and patrolling recent changes for over a month now. The last time my request was declined, I simply hadn't been patrolling for a month at that point, and @Fastily had no other objections. I have consistently warned all vandals I reverted and reported many to AIV. I believe I'm ready to have rollback now. Also note that I am a pending changes reviewer.

Reason for requesting rollback rights Hello, I meet all the requirements and noticed that some articles I have worked on/have an interest in, for example the Husain Al-Musallam page, that are well referenced are being subjected to whitewash editing by multiple accounts, many that have been blocked. Would be helpful to have the rollback tool to efficiently address issues like this. Daftard (talk) 04:11, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Template editor

I already work on templates from time to time, to improve formatting, fix links, add features, etc. My record speaks for itself that I am careful in making changes. Thanks. P 1 9 9   13:27, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

@Primefac: My "need for the right, as well as a familiarity with the care and responsibility required" is proven by my overall record and experience with WP, not necessarily meeting an arbitrary guideline limit. Thanks. -- P 1 9 9   15:23, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
I made no claims about your need, or lack thereof. I was simply filling out the standard guideline review. Primefac (talk) 15:36, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
@P199: can you give a few specific examples of where having template editor would be useful for you? Elli (talk | contribs) 16:40, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm working to make templates dark mode friendly, but since many templates are protected, I'm requesting template editor to efficiently implement dark mode compatibility. I've successfully made more than five template-protected edit requests so far (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), and I'd love to be able to make such edits myself without the need to provide an edit request in the future. I'm a trusted user, and I'd be more than happy to assist at CAT:ETP too. Thank you, Waqar💬 06:56, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

  Done for six months for the purposes of dark mode adjustments. Primefac (talk) 11:54, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Are you suggesting that Iwaqarhashmi should only use this for right for dark mode related edits? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:47, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
No, but that is their primary purpose as requested. As I explained on their talk page, it's a temporary grant because that is their focus and interest, but if they do find themselves editing in the template-protected spaces more often they are welcome to request an indefinite extension. My apologies to all for not being clearer in my initial statement. Primefac (talk) 10:49, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Well, I'd say I was a bit confused when I first saw that I was granted these rights on a temporary basis even though I fulfilled all the standard guidelines. Honestly, improving protected templates for dark mode adjusments wasn't the only reason why I requested template editor. As I explained on my talk page earlier, I was infact, hoping to use it for other long-term purposes as well, but no one asked me about that in the first place. Would it be possible to request an indefinite extension now since I'd be needing this for the long haul? Thank you! Waqar💬 14:49, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
@Iwaqarhashmi a couple weeks before you expire just drop a new request here - we generally upgrade requesters to indefinite if they have (a) used the access (b) not broken things. — xaosflux Talk 15:06, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
