Department of Government Efficiency entry into US federal buildings

[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Should invoke WP:CT/AP, IMO. George Ho (talk) 02:48, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Is this about the moves? Have we decided that this is the title we're happy with yet? Daniel Case (talk) 02:43, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

List of countries by largest historical comprehensive GDP

[edit]

Reason: Low quality edits corrupting the page. Lvxingzhe2718 (talk) 03:02, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. You created the page a week or so ago, one of the few reverts was you reverting yourself, and there's been just one of these "low quality edits" recently. Daniel Case (talk) 02:45, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Mahamudul Hasan Kiron

[edit]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by IP users. They keep adding the term Malaydesh, a derogatory name for Malaysia (as it if was dominated by Bangladeshis, as the blend suggests) and commonly used in neighbouring Indonesia. The claims that Kiron had intentions to join the Malaysian national football team, first came from a post by Facebook account "Seputar sepak bola" dated 2 October 2024, and it is a disinformation since he has not yet officially announced it.   DDG9912   10:17, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Daniel Case (talk) 02:59, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Increase, as current level has not stopped people changing his height. On the MMA project we use Sherdog, by consensus, to avoid these edit wars, as there are multiple sources with varying statistics, which causes a lot of these little changes. Nswix (talk) 14:58, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: IP hopping edit warrior in a WP:1AM situation. Given the geolocations, these IPs seem to be related, but I don't see how 3RRN could handle such distinct ranges. In any case, they've been warned for edit warring here. Generalrelative (talk) 00:37, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Just to lay out the case a bit more clearly: IP user introduced this content on January 20th, which was quickly reverted owing to BLP concerns. The IP user returned on February 2nd and since that date has reverted to restore the disputed content seven times (assuming these three IPs geolocating to England are in fact the same user). This content has been reverted by a total of four experienced editors, and a fifth has stated their opposition on the talk page. Despite this, the disputed content is currently in place because I don't want to engage in edit warring myself, and other page watchers don't appear to be available. Page protection looks like the only solution to avoiding BLP violations staying up for prolonged periods like this. Note too that this page just came off a one-month semi in December. Generalrelative (talk) 04:24, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 04:50, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Reluctantly; two edits in three days isn't enough for me yet. Please request again if frequency increases. Added to watchlist. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:42, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Auston Trusty

[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This is strange, but every 3-5 days, with a few weeks of occasional dormancy, a similar IP makes the same incorrect edit. This has been going on for months. An indefinite protection might be a bit much, but I would suggest a rather long length—perhaps six months or a year. Anwegmann (talk) 00:54, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Since it's just the one IP on a /64, and there are no other edits, a block from the article would work better. You've given one of the IPs a final warning. Let's see if they come back. Daniel Case (talk) 04:58, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Psymposia

[edit]

Reason: Requesting semi-protection due to editing disputes. The page was newly created by me a couple days ago. Yesterday, a major news story about the topic was published. Since then, multiple new editors have stated making concerning edits to the page that fail Wikipedia sourcing policies (such as WP:RS and WP:INDEPENDENT) and appear to be possible WP:COI.

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Shortcuts

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.

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
Shortcut

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.

Remove Tamil under languages for Bahubali 1 and 2. The Bahubali series is a Telugu movie series and should only have Telugu under languages. It was dubbed in Tamil, but the movies original language is Telugu. I would like to know the reasoning as to why Tamil is listed as the language for the movies. If the reasoning is that it was dubbed into Tamil, then almost all of the movies on this list need to have their dubbed languages listed. Srikarmuraki (talk) 05:13, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

User:Ojsyork

[edit]

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".

Hello, I have created 75+ articles, since I got autopatrolled mostly focusing on television series. 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. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 06:56, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Could you please point to where the date of birth of Gautam Vig is referenced, C1K98V? 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 [3]. 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)

 Done I don't understand why this request was made. The user is not as active anymore on enwiki, I don't see them being a particular burden to enwiki patrollers. However, the articles look okay and they have a good track record so granting AP regardless. Sohom (talk) 14:30, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

User:Boutboul

[edit]

Arcticocean requested that, "If [I] wish to gain [ECR] again, the onus would be on [me] to prove that trust has been regained." To address this challenge, I would like to respond to the two concerns raised:

1. "You have added translated content from other Wikipedias without attribution."
2. "You have artificially split your article contributions into separate edits to more quickly reach a high edit count."


1. Translated content without attribution

In October 2024, I misunderstood the rules regarding proper attribution for translated content. Since January 2025, I believe I have consistently included proper attribution in all my edit summaries, as demonstrated in these examples: here, here or here.


2. Split article contributions

Regarding this concern, I would like to clarify that my first 350 edits, made between 2006 and 2013, occurred before the 500 edits rule was introduced (2016). These edits could not have been intended to meet a requirement that did not exist at the time.
I acknowledge that I intentionally split my contributions to reach the 500 edits threshold, only for the remaining 150 contributions needed to meet this target.
However, since then, I have made over 700 additional contributions (~1200 in total) without splitting them. This can be seen in my average edit size, which is approximately 350 bytes and aligns with averages observed among contributors, including administrators.

I hope this explanation demonstrates my commitment to addressing the concerns raised and regaining trust. Michael Boutboul (talk) 15:19, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

[edit]

Hi. My name is Stéphane. I'm an "old" editor, I started editing in 2005. You can see my profile and contributions on the French wiki : poil and fr:Special:Contributions/Poil. Today, sophisticated tools, which didn't exist 20 years ago, are here to help for the translation from fr to en (among others). I'd like to use them, to translate the page I recently wrote.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I had to make a special request for adding 2 references to Elbit Systems Talk:Elbit_Systems, maybe you can help with this too?

Having a bit more "privileges" would allow me to be more efficient as an editor.

Thank you ! Stéphane Poil (talk) 02:01, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

 Not done. Unfortunately, my understanding is that the English Wikipedia community does not give administrators discretion to grant the extended confirmed flag early to accounts that do not have 500 edits to the English Wikipedia on at least one other account. You will need to wait until you have made 500 English Wikipedia edits to use the content translation tool. Sorry about this. Mz7 (talk) 06:04, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
From what I understand, this page is precisely meant for requesting an exception, not just repeating the rule - since the people making a request here already know the rule, as that’s the reason they are submitting this request.
I cannot use translation tools because I do not have 500 edits on en.wiki. However, this page is specifically designed for such cases: requesting an exception when one does not have 500 edits.
Therefore, simply restating the rule makes no sense, because if it were strictly enforced, there would be no need for this page to exist in the first place.
I believe my past experience on Wikipedia proves my commitment to the project at a time when it needed it the most. Today, I see Wikipedia as a stronghold against the pressures and censorship that weigh on the world, particularly in the North American internet sphere. I have therefore resumed publishing.
I hereby reiterate my request. Poil (talk) 04:53, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

I've been Wiki-editing since 2018 and have become a familiar face on the snooker project. I'm accustomed to creating articles and redirects, and I'm fully conversant with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I've co-nominated three articles for FAC (all promoted) and contributed to many other FACs. I've been a pending changes reviewer since May 2020, and I like to think I am fair and neutral in any discussions that I get involved in. With over 24,000 main space edits to my name, I've been quite an active editor over the years, and I think I could make a useful contribution as a New page reviewer.

Dear Wikipedia Administrators, I would like to formally request the permanent assignment of the New Page Reviewer permission.

Since being granted this role on a trial basis, I have actively contributed to reviewing new pages, particularly those related to Iran, Persian language, and Persianate culture areas in which I have both expertise and a long-standing editorial commitment. In addition to evaluating new articles, I have assisted other authors in completing their work, providing guidance when they were unfamiliar with Wikipedia's guidelines. In cases where further intervention was needed, I took the initiative to edit the articles myself to ensure they met the necessary standards.

I believe my trial period as a New Page Reviewer have demonstrated my dedication to maintaining and improving Wikipedia’s content. I remain committed to collaborating with fellow editors and ensuring that new articles align with Wikipedia’s guidelines.

I appreciate your time and consideration. Best regards, Hounaam (talk) 11:28, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your continued interest in this permission. Unfortunately, having reviewed your trial run reviews, I noticed several issues with some reviews and don't think that conferring indefinite NPR rights is appropriate at this time. In particular, Azarkeivanian was clearly a redundant fork of the more-informative Azar Kayvan and Draft:Ivory Duo Piano Ensemble had both clear-cut signs of self-promotion and copyright violation. I'm also a bit concerned that you haven't gotten any experience at WP:AFD yet. I would encourage you to consider reapplying a few months down the road.  Not done for now. signed, Rosguill talk 15:01, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

I would like to request rollback permission to help combat vandalism, particularly in Nepal-related articles, which I frequently come across while patrolling recent changes. Having rollback rights would allow me to efficiently revert obvious and disruptive edits, improving the quality of affected pages. I always assume good faith and am careful when reviewing edits. If I am uncertain whether an edit is vandalism, I do not revert it. I am also familiar with Wikipedia’s warning templates and know when it is appropriate to report persistent vandals to WP:AIV. I believe rollback will be a valuable tool in my efforts to maintain Wikipedia’s integrity, and I will use it responsibly. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi, I would like to request rollback rights as I have been patrolling on Wikipedia for a while, finding vandals, and I would like to have the ability to use rollback to revert their edits more effectively (as I have had a couple where I had to undo lots of small edits and it took up lots of my time).

 Not done Hello User:ScrabbleTiles. Usually, we expect users to have at least 200 edits to mainspace. I would like to see you understand warnings a bit better for isntance before giving rollback. At User talk:OKTO on 6, you have a level-1 warning and only warning in rapid succession. Of course, a second warning can't be an only warning, so a level-2 warning would have been more appropriate (or none, as they may not have noticed the first warning immediately). In the meantime, you can already install WP:Twinkle to combat vandalism more effectively. You're on the right track, so feel free to come back in a few weeks when you've hit the threshold. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:13, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for that. I went straight to 4 because their edits were very disruptive and I didn’t see any constructive edit coming from them but in the future, I will be more forgiving. I will request again once I have reached the threshold. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 19:17, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
@ScrabbleTiles: just so you know, there is a difference between level 4 last warning and only warning. Assuming level 4 was correct, this situation called for a final warning instead —Femke 🐦 (talk) 17:33, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm requesting rollback to help me revert vandalism better. I've been using Twinkle for a while now, but in a few cases the proper rollback toll would have been more useful.

I do not foresee using the Rollback function very much, but it would be useful, from time to time, for undoing vandalism or seriously botched edits. I've been on the English Wikipedia since 2013. It'd be more convenient, at least, than copy pasting the entirety of an old version of an article—something I've done in the past. I hope you will consider my request. Thank you.

I have been working on creating and expanding articles related to baseball and softball teams, mainly from Latin America and Europe. Since these articles heavily rely on Module:Sports color, which is protected, to properly display team colors in infoboxes and other tables, I would like to request the rights to edit this protected module. I have requested several edits to this specific module in the past; however, I believe it would be more efficient if I could make these edits myself.

In the past, I have created and worked on different modules and templates related to other topics that interest me, such as public transportation and other sports (e.g., Module:Adjacent stations/Mexico City Metro, Module:Adjacent stations/Prague Metro, Template:Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional, Template:Hiroshima Toyo Carp managers). If administrators would consider it appropriate, I am also open to a temporary grant of editing rights to continue improving these articles.

Thanks in advance. Cocu15 (talk) 22:59, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm on the fence a little here; while there are non-trivial edit requests, there doesn't seem to be any indication that interests lie outwith a very small group of pages.
The subpages of modules like Module:Sports color are just variables, any vandalism to the templates will only cause an error output, not propagate any serious harm to the main pages. I wonder if dropping the protection level of those supbages to ECP, similar to Module:Political party would be more effective since these types of modules seem to be heavily requested by folks wanting to update them. I speak personally here that not having the political party module protected has been a huge save of my time and effort as I only need to double-check new entries rather than spend ages answering edit requests.
