[edit]

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.)

Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

[edit]
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place 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.


Reason: Would like this page to be WP:SEMIPROTECTED. There are persistent overlinking of same duplicated audio youtube link & irrelevant video link by 95.248.88.77, which there were ongoing for more than a year (eg 1163401562) for more than a year different anon IPs coming from same ISP, same country and all are from same region of the same country. Most of the WP:ELNO WP:OVERLINK are Celine Dion songs, though there are some other songs too.

Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
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.

Current requests for edits to a protected page

[edit]
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.

 Automated comment This user has had their access to AutoWikiBrowser automatically revoked ([1]). MusikBot talk 08:00, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights Hi. I'm Bugnawfang. Lately, I have been editing on articles about some places in the Philippines. Recently, however, the Negros Island Region was created again after a law was signed by the president of the Philippines. Hence, there are 19 cities and 44 municipalities' pages that still have the old "Central Visayas (Region VII)" and "Western Visayas (Region VI)" region template tags. I am aware that my edits do not meet the threshold, but I do want to update these pages, and making edits one-by-one on these pages is tedious on its own. With this, I may request for the permission to use AWB to add the "Negros Island Region" template on these pages. Bugnawfang (talk) 13:33, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Would be useful to make tedious edits. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:24, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights

Good day. I am requesting to be granted the New Page Reviewer permission to assist with the growing new page backlog. I have created 8 new articles (although one was a complete rewrite that I then pushed through AfC) and meet the edit and age requirements for this permission. I also have demonstrated experience in the AfC process in both articles and redirects and have some experience in deletion related areas. I maintain rollback and pending change permissions, both of which I use regularly. I believe I can (and will) be of assistance in reducing the NPP backlog, if given the opportunity. Thank you.

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

I've been a rollbacker for some time now, and when I patrol the recent changes, it's not at all uncommon to come across pending revisions. Thus, I imagine that having the permission of a pending changes reviewer would help me in anti-vandalism activities and, even more, reduce the backlog and the work of other volunteers. Helping directly on Special:PendingChanges is also a possibility, of course. Thank you, RodRabelo7 (talk) 09:42, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Per your discussion here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Funnybros. It shows any editor with the motive to promote a subject either by Youtube link or any other link that are not necessary or accepted by wikipedia. You are likely to accept them. So I will be afraid if this right is being granted to you for the betterment of wikipedia. Administrators should be aware. Gabriel (talk to me ) 11:52, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
Honestly, Gabriel101, I've looked at this user's contributions, and they look more than ready to be a reviewer. On top of that, you are requesting the same rights of this user? And though I am saying the same thing as this user did on your request, did you have to say what you said here and not on the user's talk page? Apollogetticax|talk 06:58, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Point of correction, I am not Gabriel101. And to address your concern. If I had gone to user talk page it could have been useless or a waste of time as the same user has removed everything that was notified against him recently by other editors. I don’t know what you have looked but I see no sense in what you are saying if you have really looked as you said and not noticing an edit was stroked here. Regarding same permission kindly read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kingdom Achievers Award. I will advice you focus on your Sockpuppet account case User:User:HTML5, CSS3! and here User_talk:Ferret#Thank_you. Cheers. Gabriel (weytin dey sup) 12:00, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm starting to review pages for copyvios, and, as a result, I'm starting to encounter reviewer-protected pages. (If the article on Rotten Tomatoes wasn't a backwards-copy, I might have been hosed.) In any case, I hope my experience across multiple Wikimedia projects demonstrates the competence needed for this permission. ⸺RandomStaplers 00:07, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I am a Wikipedia editor who has an entire month of experience with counter-vandalism, and I also make many copyedits. I would like to stop vandalism in its crib by being a pending changes reviewer and stopping vandalism on pending changes-protected pages. I know what is vandalism and what isn't, and I am familiar with Wikipedia's policies, including Biographies of living persons, Neutral point of view, No original research, Verifiability and What Wikipedia is not. I have read WP:Copyrights and I have read the guideline on reviewing. I am also in process of receiving rollback permissions, and you can see the discussion there too.

Hey there! I'm ThatOneWolf, and, I know I've been here twice before, but those times I admit I didn't really get the whole idea of experience and stuff. Plus, my last request was months ago. I took a little break recently when I just was checking my talk page and watchlist, but now I've come back to editing.

Anyway, the reason I'm requesting Reviewer rights now is because I feel like I could help in that area, with most of my edits being vandalism reversions. I also feel I suitably warn editors when I think they are intending to vandalize, or just let them know if it seems they could be trying to help. I've read all the policies listed in Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, and am very familiar with the copyright laws. This is why I feel I would be more fit now to receive this right. Thanks for reading! -- ThatOneWolf (ChatEdits 12:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Requests for rollback

Rollback

Hi there! Requesting rollback rights to be able to use different tools for reverting vandalism. I'm open to any questions or feedback on my editing and counter-vandalism actions. Cheers. Rkieferbaum (talk) 11:34, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 06:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: hi there. It's true that I seldom warn IP users that don't edit on a regular basis. I just feel like no one is going to see that warning and it might be confusing for other users from that IP. This might be a mistake on my part and I'll gladly fix it. You'll see that, with registered users, I've warned them 100% of the time or very close to that. Thanks for your time. Rkieferbaum (talk) 10:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? -Fastily 10:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: of course, it's a promise. I do agree that welcoming newcomers is among the most important things we do here. Thanks. Rkieferbaum (talk) 11:29, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Great, thanks for confirming. Could you please now go some RC patrol in which you demonstrate how you will be notifying all users? -Fastily 03:17, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: sure! I've been at it for a few minutes. I'll leave a warning each and every time from now on, IP or otherwise. Cheers and thanks for your input. Rkieferbaum (talk) 00:37, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

  • I used to be highly active before 2022, and had rollback rights back then (was inactive for quite a while)
  • I have a history of defending WP: Hinduism related articles, and further need to do it, especially after few recurring cases of vandalism by a series of sockpuppets
  • It may seem that i am constantly reverting a particular user's edits but that user is a sockpuppet of Kairakairav, [see their huge list of sockpuppets] who removes well sourced info, blanks them and add original research stuff, most of which are also factually incorrect. The sockpuppets get blocked, but somehow returns with a new account (Not only me, but other users have also reported this issue in the user's earlier sockpuppet investigations). It is alo worthless to tell them to stop on talk page, as they never reply and keep doing the same stuff; recent example of Madri which was blanked by them!
  • Its quite irritating for me to constantly go to history and copy paste entire full page, so the rollback right will be quite helpful, Thanks .245CMR.👥📜 09:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC) .245CMR.👥📜 09:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 Not done I reviewed your contributions and found little to no recent anti-vandalism work. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 10:16, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: Really!? I just explained how the sockpuppet User:NairaMahiHDPaakhiAadhya basically removed cited information from articles like Kunti, Madri, Sahadeva, Eklavya, etc. It's been reported by other users, see that user's earlier sockpuppets (linked in the request). Also its pointless to try to guide them as i seriously tried to do so many time on their earlier (now blocked) accounts. Recently while doing manual copy paste, I accidentally deleted chunks of articles by mistake. I really require this right as I am free to waste my entire half an hour doing this. Sorry if I sounded rude, but I am really irritated after recently doing the manual copy paste for 100th time! .245CMR.👥📜 18:48, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
Yes, really. You shouldn't be copy/pasting anyways. The use case you've described doesn't require rollback; we have tools such as Twinkle & Ultraviolet that already do what you're asking for. Like I said, if you're still interested in rollback, then please spend a month actively patrolling RecentChanges before creating a new request -Fastily 21:57, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
As a third party, I just want to comment on why you were copy pasting? Apollogetticax|talk 06:36, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Greetings, I wish to get the Rollback right because I want to fight vandalism and revert edits that goes Wikipedia’s guidelines, also I want to be able to revert edits frm users who aren’t sure of what they are doing most especially IP user. Madeforall1 (talk) 10:11, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done You don't need rollback to undo inappropriate edits. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 10:16, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I would like to have the rollback permission to revert vandalism quicker and to use tools like Huggle. Also, with Awesome Aasim's RC patrol tool, reverting is very slow, but with rollback it will be much faster. I use Twinkle already.

I am keen in the field of anti-vandalism. While my track record isn't exactly the best, I acknowledge my mistakes, and improve on them. I can tell what is and what isn't vandalism, and I know to always warn users, no exception. While edit counts don't matter, I have over 250 mainspace edits (just for the record). This also brings light to my experience. I have been doing counter-vandalism since the day I created my account.

If you think I am doing anything wrong, you are free to tell me my mistakes, and I can fix myself. | Apollogetticaxtalk 23:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Lots of anti-vandalism in contribs including edit summaries, so that's great. Good attitude on talk pages. I was going to grant this but then I found they admitted to being the sockpuppet User:HTML5, CSS3! over at User talk:Ferret#Thank you. Honestly I am still inclined to grant, they seem to be reformed. But this probably needs a little discussion first. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:35, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Gonna go ahead and mark this one as  Not done, with the requester now sock-blocked and fresh block evasion noted at User talk:Apollogetticax#July 2024. DanCherek (talk) 16:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Requests for template editor

Template editor

[edit]

I am heavily involved with editing route diagram templates and adding new items to template:rail-interchange, with a special focus on rail lines in France for the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris starting later this month. I have made multiple edit requests there in the past, and very recently after refamiliarizing myself with the process, I've started to do it again. I would like the ability to edit that template directly so I don't have to rely on others to do it for me. Jackdude101 talk cont 07:46, 8 July 2024 (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.

    Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers

    [edit]

    Up to Dec 16, 2003, all the edits at these anonymous id's were mine (59 edits):

    More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.
