Current requests for increase in protection level
[edit]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.
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. vandalism and DE Luhanopi (talk) 15:31, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:08, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP and auto-confirmed vandalism who are changing the box office figures that is not said in the source. Some of these auto-confirmed accounts have also got multiple warnings. Please add an increased level of protection to this page and revert to last best. RangersRus (talk) 21:06, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Repeat users keep erroneously changing the information on this group which is not current to the information on the actual group's business pages. Thank you. Gaming222 (talk) 21:21, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The page has had a significant level of IP vandalism/unsourced additions for a while now. Also the subject of a possible transfer so is likely to attract more unconstructive editing Michaeldble (talk) 22:21, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The page has had a consistent level of IP vandalism for a while now - would suggest a longer protection Michaeldble (talk) 22:23, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]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.
Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]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.
Handled requests

Extended confirmed[edit]
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) |

Event coordinator[edit]
I have organized two edit-a-thons in the past for WP:LABOR and will organize a third one soon in October. I am exploring running several in-person edit-a-thons in person at labor related conferences this year so this perm would be useful. In addition, I am advocating for English Wikipedia to enable Meta:CampaignEvents here, which ideally would also make use of this existing permission.

New page reviewer[edit]
Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights Jattlife121 (talk) 13:57, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
I've been on this website since 2009. I have thousands of edits, and I've never been inactive for more than a few months. I'm a pending changes reviewer and rollbacker, and I often patrol recent changes either with Huggle or manually. If I'm given access to the new page queue, I can fight vandalism and promotional content there too. T3h 1337 b0y 00:35, 4 September 2024 (UTC) I should add that I have plenty of experience with AfDs and speedy deletion (thanks, Twinkle). T3h 1337 b0y 00:39, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Page mover[edit]
I have been editing since 2005 with over 15,000 edits without incident. I am requesting this permission so I am able to perform round robin moves when necessary. I am also open to assisting at WP:RM. James (talk/contribs) 21:34, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
Hello! I have read Wikipedia:Reviewing_pending_changes. I want to become a pending changes reviewer. ZeetBaralWiki 15:21, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
I edit AusPol pages, and I'd like to be able to approve edits made to them :) No stress if I need more of a track record of edits - I totally understand. Jy Sandford (talk) 23:44, 5 September 2024 (UTC) |

Rollback[edit]
Hello! I request for the permission - Rollback. ZeetBaralWiki 15:43, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Hello to anyone concerned. I am requesting rollbacker rights, having done so before without the knowledge of having to warn users after undoing their edits, and I believe I now have a substantial track record of doing so ever since promising to fulfill that role. I now also have a good idea of how to use tools such as Twinkle effectively, which have greatly helped my work against vandalism. Thanks for taking your time to read my request. Best regards, Vasil3fonov (talk) 16:56, 5 September 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.
