  Being discussed with the user. They seem like the typical "I totally misunderstand what WP is" new user as opposed to a malicious spammer, and they didn't touch any article content. Beeblebrox ^Beebletalks 22:36, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

  @TornadoLGS: I'm glad you mentioned that as I had meant to delete the draft, but got distracted by lunch.

Marc Elias

• Marc Elias (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: High levels of vandalism. Marc Elias is a progressive voting rights and elections attorney. This page is intentionally being targeted by people who oppose his politics. They are misleading readers regarding Donald Trump's 2020 election loss to Joe Biden and spreading disinformation about Trump associates’ connections to Russian officials and interests. This page needs to be fact checked by serious fact checkers and protected from vandals. 2600:8805:250C:3200:BD90:3AAA:4171:CA5C (talk) 01:26, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Please enforce WP:CT/AP. IanDBeacon (talk) 04:39, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

+1 Reason: High levels of vandalism and false information. The 2016 Trump campaign was linked to Russian officials: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/03/connections-trump-putin-russia-ties-chart-flynn-page-manafort-sessions-214868/. Attempts to add context were reverted by other user(s). Marc Elias has many followers on social media, and this page could be used to intentionally spread falsehoods. पर्वत चोटी (talk) 02:06, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Nuri Şahin

• Nuri Şahin (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism/edit warring by IPs from Malaysia and Turkey since end of December. Despite heroic efforts by an editor to revert these, there were so many bad IP edits that the article still has subtle remnants. Edit warring/vandalism done by at least 3 different IPs from 2 countries so can't just block a single one unfortunately. AncientWalrus (talk) 03:14, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

• Chhaava (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Miss Supranational 2025

• Miss Supranational 2025 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Combination of sockpuppetry and disruptive IP editing. IP problems are mostly Manual of Style issues regarding sub-national flags, but also sourcing issues endemic to pageant articles. The history of the article since January 1 is self explanatory, but here are some examples:

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Request unprotection

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.

Reason: I am writing to respectfully request the removal of the edit protection on the "Foundational Black Americans" page. I believe that the current state of the page does not accurately represent the term and may inadvertently mislead readers.

When searching for "Foundational Black Americans," the page redirects to an individual, which does not provide a definition or proper context of the term. This is concerning because:

Misrepresentation: "Foundational Black Americans" refers to a lineage of Black Americans whose ancestors were enslaved in the United States and have developed a distinct cultural heritage over generations. It is not a term beholden to any single person or leader.

Ethnogenesis and Cultural Significance: Black Americans have undergone a unique process of ethnogenesis, evolving from labels such as "Negro" and "Colored" to "African American," and now embracing "Foundational Black Americans" to acknowledge their specific historical and cultural identity.

Potential Misinformation: Redirecting to an individual's page may contribute to misinformation and does not align with Wikipedia's commitment to providing neutral and accurate information.

Request:

I kindly request that the edit protection be lifted to allow for collaborative efforts in:

Creating a Dedicated Page: Developing a comprehensive article that defines "Foundational Black Americans" as a lineage, supported by reliable sources.

Ensuring Accuracy and Neutrality: Providing readers with accurate information that reflects the collective heritage and contributions of Foundational Black Americans without unintended bias.

Commitment to Wikipedia's Standards:

I am committed to adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines on neutrality, verifiability, and reliable sourcing. My intention is to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia and enhance the quality of information available to the public.

Conclusion:

Thank you for considering my request. I believe that updating the page to accurately reflect the term will greatly benefit those seeking information on this important aspect of American history and culture.

I look forward to your response and the opportunity to contribute to this article. 2601:983:4600:7230:8D69:264C:225A:3C55 (talk) 23:57, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel

• October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The tile of this article should be changed from "October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel" to "October 7 Hamas-led Genocide on Israel".

There is numerous support for this change:

• On October 7, 2023, Hamas waged the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust — slaughtering babies, committing sexual violence, burning whole villages, and taking over 200 people hostage. In total, Hamas murdered over 1,000 Jews, in multiple locations.

• Various legal experts and genocide studies scholars argue that the 10/7 attack was a genocide as the victims were targeted for their Israeli-Jewish identity.

• A legal complaint that Hamas committed genocide on 10/7 is currently pending before the ICC.

• ICC issued arrest warrants for Hamas leaders alleging war crimes

• Hamas killed more Jews on 10/7 than any other massacre since the Holocaust.

• Hamas has made repeated statements of it's intent to eradicate the local Jewish population to reclaim "their land" both before and after 10/7 the attack. It was their stated intention for the attack to kill as many Israeli Jews as possible and steal their land.

• Hamas's previous governing charter including language that has been characterized as incitement to genocide and, according to several commentators, "mandates the killing of Jews".

• Hamas' official spokesperson promised to commit 10/7 "again and again and again."

• Hamas official stated that Hamas will carry out attacks over and over again "until Israel is annihilated"

• Various publications have called October 7 a "genocidal massacre"

The above is all supported by multiple sources. Here are some:

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled (add request · view requests) User:Ojsyork Ojsyork (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs (blocks · rights · moves) · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te) 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".

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!

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.

For transparency, I'm still working on the feedback received from @Schwede66 in my last request. And I intent to keep doing the good work. Thanks for your consideration. Wishing the community a prosperous new year.

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:Mbdfar Mbdfar (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs (blocks · rights · moves) · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te) 330+ article creations with zero deletions.

As I have created more than 50 pages and I'm actively involved in reviewing drafts since last week of December 2024, you can check my reviewed articles here and the articles I putted up for deletion can be seen here. My primary focus are the articles related to Women, Politics, India, Poetry, Writers and Indian activists. I do sometime revert bad faith edits. I will contribute to the Wikipedia with NPR rights, same as I have contributed through the AFC Reviewer rights. Thanks and Regards.

I am requesting this permission as I would be interested to help at the near-permanent New Pages Feed backlog, when my other work here allows me to do so. I am aware of the relevant content policies and guidelines, especially when it comes to NPOV and BLP. If granted, I intend to use it responsibly, like I do with my other permissions. As for my own record, I have created over 600 articles so far, with few deleted. I already have autopatrolled and rollback permissions. As for my experience, I have been around for almost 15 years, with c. 150,000 edits. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 13:34, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting this permission as I would be interested to help at PendingChanges, when my other work here allows me to do so. I am aware of the criteria for its use, especially in regard to BLP and countering vandalism. If granted, I intend to use it responsibly, like I do with my other permissions. Additionally, I already have autopatrolled and rollback permissions, and finally – as for my experience, I have been around for almost 15 years, with c. 150,000 edits. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 13:20, 20 January 2025 (UTC)  Done Dr vulpes (Talk) 06:20, 21 January 2025 (UTC) User:W.andrea W.andrea (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs (blocks · rights · moves) · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te) To review changes on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. — W.andrea (talk) 18:23, 20 January 2025 (UTC)  Done.

Requests for rollback

Rollback (add request · view requests) User:Cmrc23 Cmrc23 (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs (blocks · rights · moves) · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te) Hello, I was temporarily granted rollback permissions to see how I do, and they are due to expire on the 27th. I believe I have been diligent and careful with this permission, and I only use it when necessary. I always warn users and I create discussions on article talk pages where necessary. Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 14:43, 21 January 2025 (UTC)  Automated comment This user was granted temporary rollback rights by Pppery (expires 18:41, 27 January 2025 (UTC)). — MusikBot talk 14:50, 21 January 2025 (UTC) @Cmrc23: It looks like you're using generic rollback even on edits that aren't obvious vandalism (where vandalism is defined as being "deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose, which is to create a free encyclopedia") or other categories of rollback that don't need an explanatory edit summary. For example, while removing a reference might be vandalism, it could also be based on good-faith belief that the source is unreliable. Similarly, this rollback doesn't seem to be of obvious vandalism. Going forward, would you include the reason in the edit summary when reverting any edits that don't fall into one of criteria 1–5 at WP:ROLLBACKUSE? SilverLocust 💬 18:59, 21 January 2025 (UTC) I was a little hasty with those two in particular, but I will make sure. I presumed my warning on their talk page was enough, but I try to not use it when it's not necessary (again, was hasty there, apologise) Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 19:55, 21 January 2025 (UTC)  Done. Extended by 1 month. SilverLocust 💬 04:13, 22 January 2025 (UTC) User:Footballnerd2007 Footballnerd2007 (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs (blocks · rights · moves) · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te) 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.

Requests for template editor

Template editor (add request · view requests) User:WikiGiancarloC2 WikiGiancarloC2 (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs (blocks · rights · moves) · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te) I am requesting permission to access the template editor. I intend to modify Template:Infobox sports rivalry to add a field for the most points scored in a game within the Infobox. I believe this addition would be beneficial for NFL rivalry pages, as it would highlight the highest-scoring game between the teams. If I am unable to obtain permission, I would appreciate it if someone else could assist with this modification. WikiGiancarloC2 (talk) 23:24, 22 January 2025 (UTC)  Automated comment This user has had an account for 336 days and has 57 edits in the template and module namespaces. — MusikBot talk 23:30, 22 January 2025 (UTC) @WikiGiancarloC2: That template is only semi-protected, so you already have the necessary permissions to edit it. If there are template-protected pages you would like to edit, please make your changes to the sandbox version of the template (such as Template:Infobox sports rivalry/sandbox) and then make an edit request on the template's talk page.  Not done.

Making Maps

Here's how I make the maps - basically they are all from the Census factfinder web site here. I always use the 2000 census data and if I enter "Ohio", I get this. Next I go to the upper left corner under "Change", click there on "Boundaries and Features" and turn off all labels and all features except the state and county borders (boundaries). Then I get this. I copy the map (right click, or control and Print Screen) then paste that into MS Paint or Paint Dot Net and change the colors so they are consistent with the WikiProject Maps guidleines - I started with the Image:US Locator Blank.svg for its colors. I put a one pixel wide black line around the maps and save them in PNG format in Wikimedia Commons (I have an account there too).

What I like about the maps is that they are US Government work and so public domain (and I release my modifications under the GFDL). You can zoom in a lot, add streets and water and township and city borders in. Some other examples I have made starting with these are here: Image:Larrys Creek Watershed Map.PNG (started from county and township borders and creeks in the census map), Image:Fort Wayne Indiana Metro Map.PNG (several counties, left the urban areas pink), and my most ambitious county map Image:Lancaster County, PA.PNG. Hope this helps, ask if you have questions.
