Current requests for increase in protection level
editPlace requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism from lots of IPs throughout article’s entire history; likely a constant target. 2603:8080:D03:89D4:65DB:CB9F:8589:443 (talk) 21:38, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Another IP edit, another round of blatant vandalism (changing the BLP's direct quotation to mean the opposite + changing a location). This under-watched article does not seem to inspire good editing, and I wonder whether it should be semi-protected for a very long time (i.e., long enough for someone to grow up). The last round was three months. WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:48, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated disruptive editing and removal of tags from IPs and socks. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:34, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
editBefore 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.
Current requests for edits to a protected page
editPlease 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.
I would like to request that... (Please consider reversing the recent revision made by the User:Gokul BM. The change in range was made without supporting sources, which has affected the accuracy of the ranking.https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_South_Indian_films&diff=1246147282&oldid=1246147073&variant=en https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_South_Indian_films&diff=1246147073&oldid=1246002411&variant=en) . W170924 (talk) 19:30, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- Not done. I don't see any supporting sources given for any of those numbers in the entire table, so there is no reason to believe that the previous version was more correct than the current version. If you have an issue with a recent edit, then discuss it with that editor. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:53, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Anachronist Also, I don’t understand what you meant by 'I don’t see any supporting sources given for any of those numbers in the entire table,' as the Highest-grossing films table is properly sourced except for the entries manipulated by this user. Am I wrong? Did I miss anything? W170924 (talk) 20:49, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Anachronist Pardon me, but to be specific, the ranges changed as follows:
Varisu: ₹290–293 to ₹290–310
Kabali: ₹284–305 to ₹284–499
Beast: ₹227–240 to ₹217–300
Mersal: ₹220 to ₹200–260
Note that before the change, the figures were supported by the references provided in the corresponding ref fields. The new ranges, however, contradict the references because the user did not provide any sources to back their claim. Why is there no consideration of this discrepancy?W170924 (talk) 20:10, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- Did you contact the user who made that edit, as I suggested? ~Anachronist (talk) 23:26, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Anachronist I dropped a note on the user's talk page, and from the other threads, it’s pretty obvious this person is a serial vandal. The funny part? A vandal can freely run around editing Wikipedia, but if you want to call them out, you’ve got to perform an Olympic-level gymnastics routine. And don’t get me started on the edit count—it gives the impression they’re some kind of Wikipedia veteran! Sure, Wikipedia might slap them with a short ban, but their edit count stays shiny and impressive, like they’ve been building the place brick by brick. W170924 (talk) 03:21, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- The contributions of that user doesn't look like a vandal-only account to me, but more like attempts to get information up-to-date without updating the sources. In any case, the edits have been reverted and I left a short warning on the user's talk page. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:45, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Been on Wikipedia for a few years now. Mainly created BLPs. Requesting for autopatrolled rights to reduce the backlog of new page patrollers. I declare that I've understood verifiability, notability and copyrights. SerChevalerie (talk) 21:21, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Created 407 articles, and only 2 were deleted—1 was soft deleted earlier in 2022, and the latest one was deleted per WP:A10, which is not a major issue. 99.5% or 405 of his articles are still live. I came across him while patrolling New Pages. I believe he is one of the users for whom this right was created. GrabUp - Talk 17:27, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Requesting access for updating census data of highly populated Indian villages in Kerala state and other human settlements on this planet in future. Pachu Kannan (talk) 10:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
I would like access to AWB to fix CheckWiki issues more efficiently than I currently do using WPCleaner. I also want to streamline typo fixing as part of WP:TYPO. I understand I have been denied it twice in the recent past, but I strongly believe that I am fit for getting the permission now, as I gained significantly more experience and done more constructive edits. Bunnypranav (talk) 14:01, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
I would like to use AWB's Checkwiki functionality to alter position of references with respect to punctuation and incorrect ISBNs as I am frequently revising pages that need reference issue support; use find and replace for music album title issues; and use AWB for assistance on creating and correcting items and links within categories of music genres, domestic flag information, and public parks. Thank you. Shotgunheist 💬 19:49, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Improve articles' layouts, correcting Spanish settlement infoboxes, changing IPA-va (depricated) to IPA|ca-valencia, adding IPA, correcting links, etc. I had AWB rights in the past, however I stopped using Wikipedia due to COVID-19.

Can i please have extended confirmed rights back. I lost it because one day when i had a little less than 500 edits, i made about 45-55 edits in one hour in order to get to 500 edits. Im new to this site and didn't know gaming edits was against the rules. Ever since i lost the extended confirmed thing, I've made hundreds of edits i think are constructive and i stopped vandalism a few times and have a much better understanding of the rules. extended confirmed rights HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 21:59, 3 September 2024 (UTC) |

New page revieweredit
I want to be able to branch out and explore different aspects of Wikipedia, as article creation does tend to get boring nowadays. I have made 340 pages, 4 of which were deleted (all 4 were from June or earlier). I have no track record of incivility that I am aware of besides a heated conflict back in April, and am a host at the Teahouse. I have commented or voted on ~45 AfDs, and have sent several of my articles through AfC, and I know how the policies work there. If possible, I'd also like to request just a 1-month trial, as I want to see what the tool is like before I commit to it. Sir MemeGod :D (talk - contribs - created articles) 16:06, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I have some experience creating article and so far, I have been guiding new users to edit Wikipedia as well as reviewing their drafts. I will like to request the new page reviewer following my understanding of how it works (This took a while for me, however I am very good now following several trainings). Looking forward to my request been granted!. Tesleemah (talk) 19:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
I was hoping to participate in the NPP Sep. backlog drive, since I missed the last one. I have some article writing experience, and regularly interact with newcomers during RC patrolling. I also have a decent AfD nomination ratio, with the same being true of my CSD log. Overall, I think I would make a useful addition to the NPP team, and hope to be trusted with this responsibility. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 01:10, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
Besides a few articles and redirects that I sometimes create, I often help others with improving and reviewing their drafts and newly created articles. If I could then mark the articles as reviewed and use the other review tools, this work would be even more effective. Thanks. Killarnee (talk) 17:41, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello hello, I have been a Wikipedian for well over 4 months now, and I feel that I have learned a great many things about the site in terms of editing, content, policies, and conduct that I could have never imagined beforehand. If given this right, I humbly commit to using it to the utmost competent and fair / legitimate nature that I possibly can. Thank you Aliy Dawut (talk) 02:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
I have been contributing to pages for three years now, with prior experience in patrolling edit filter log. I would like to get reviewer rights so I can contribute to Wikipedia in more ways than I am able to, presently, and help with the backlog.

Rollbackedit
I have been cleaning up vandalism mostly with the help of Twinkle. I was granted temporary rollback rights in 2021 but then life got busy and I didn't seek an extension. I now have more time to dedicate to counter-vandalism efforts again. ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · contribs · email) 13:05, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
Hello there, I'm requesting for permissions because I know it will save a lot of time my time to undo problematic edits. I have read the guidelines for how and when to use rollback so yes am ready. Cheers
Hello! I have been guiding new users against Vandalism for a while now and this is done mostly offline.however,recently my passion for more onwiki contribution grew and I signed up as a host on Wikipedia Teahouse where I have been guiding new editors, I will like to request the right to roll back edit in order to do more of onwiki tasks and ease the work of admins. Tesleemah (talk) 19:00, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
I would like to have rollback because vandalism on wikipedia is always high and it is important to have people looking out for potential vandals, and lower this. I will not give mercy unless it is a good faith edit and will make sure to always warn users, as I am doing right now with the help of Ultraviolet. Cooldudeseven7 (Discuss over a cup of tea?) 14:40, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have over 800 edits, most of which are on the main space. I am aware I have a somewhat lousy history with giving proper edit summaries, as i didn't fill out revision summaries, but I have tried to rectify it. I was also involved in a dispute which might have been classified as an edit war back in April. Other then that I have a clean slate. Thanks for considering.
